 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This executive summary is aimed at presenting the main findings of the Environmental and Social
Management Plan (ESMP) of the Rehabilitation of Parks - Wastyyeh Municipality sub-Project funded by
the World Bank. The study team assessed the potential environmental and social impacts resulting from
the sub-project as follows:
● Evaluated the sub-project’s potential environmental and social risks and impacts on their areas
of influence.
● Reviewed sub-project’s environmental and social policies and legal framework.
● Identified and recommended actions to avoid and/or prevent, minimize, mitigate or

compensate potential adverse environmental and social impacts that will improve
environmental performance and be integrated in the sub-project overall management plan.
In this ESMP the different components and activities of the sub-project were evaluated and a set of
environmental and social impacts were identified accordingly. The existing conditions of the sub-project
site were documented based on the conducted site visits and desktop review.
The scope of work includes preparing an Environmental and Social Impact Plan (ESMP) for the expected
impacts per each identified phase, during the construction, Construction Environmental and Social
Impact Plan (C-ESMP) and during the operation, Operation Environmental and Social Impact Plan (O-
ESMP) for all environmental and social components. The ESMPs include: mitigation measures,
responsible party for applying mitigations, monitoring measures, and responsible party for monitoring
activities, as well as the cost of implementing the identified mitigation measures.

project area..
Chapter 5 - Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and Proposed Mitigation Measures
10
This chapter has discussed the identification and evaluation of anticipated impacts from the park
subproject, and the suggested mitigation measures that avoid, or if avoidance not possible, reduce
potentially adverse social and environmental impacts to acceptable levels, in which all Potential
interactions of these risks and impacts were specified and evaluated with respect to the following
Valued Environmental and Social Components (VESCs):
● Socio-economic Conditions including Landscape and Visual impact.
● Environmental impacts
● Community Health and Safety
● Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
● Cultural Heritage
● Traffic impacts.
The study results have shown a high level of social acceptance toward the project, noting that some
socio-economic concerns were identified, it was found that these concerns are avoidable with proper
mitigation measures described in this chapter.
The study has identified several risks and impacts associated with Community Health and Safety and
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), that include air quality, noise, waste, wastewater, and other
concerns described in this chapter, however, the study also found that with appropriate measures these
risks and impacts can be minimized to acceptable levels.
According to cultural heritage, the study has clearly found that the sub-project area doesn’t over-lay
with any known archeological site, however, the study has addressed the possibility of a “Chance Find”
during the construction phase, and highlighted the appropriate mitigation measure in the case of
“Chance Find” that align with national legal framework and MSSRP Chance Find Procedure.
Finally, the study has addressed water resources as of significant importance due to the national water
status, noting that the study has indicated for low significance on water resources during the different
project phases, hence the study suggests the appropriate mitigation measures to protect water
resources.

 INTRODUCTION
A- About MSSRP
Responding to the request of the Government of Jordan to address the impact of the large influx of
Syrian refugees on Jordanian host communities, the World Bank launched the Emergency Services and
Social Resilience Project (ESSRP) in 2013. The Project was approved on 12 October, 2013 with the
objective of helping Jordanian municipalities and host communities address the immediate service
delivery impacts of Syrian refugee inflows and strengthen municipal capacity to support local economic
development. The first component of the ESSRP provided municipal grants to participating
municipalities. This support is intended to alleviate the pressure placed on municipal services and to
help mitigate the rise in community tensions through improved confidence in local authorities and
supporting community coping mechanisms. The second component provided technical assistance to the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MOMA) to support their implementation and monitoring of the Program.
In addition, it provided capacity building support to municipalities, governorates and central authorities
to enhance their risk management and disaster preparedness capacity.
The primary beneficiaries of the ESSRP were the communities residing in municipalities that have seen
the largest increase in the size of their population due to the refugee influx. During the first year of
implementation (through December 2014), the Project benefited a total of 9 municipalities who, at the
time, hosted 300,000 refugees representing an estimated 50% of the total Syrian refugee population in
Jordan at the time. Since the second year of implementation, the Project expanded its scope to include
an additional seven new municipalities bringing the total number of participating municipalities (PMs) to
sixteen.
The proposed second phase of the ESSRP- the Municipal Services and Social Resilience Project (MSSRP)
aims to shift its focus on deepening the capacity strengthening efforts to achieve more sustainable,
transparent and accountable service delivery, while continuing to support local service provision in the
most affected municipalities. The Project will also expand its coverage to include other highly-stressed
municipalities to further institutionalize the Project’s model for responding to similar crises. Finally, it
will support the GOJ’s commitment to facilitating access to jobs for Syrians and Jordanians through
labor-intensive works and investments that promote growth opportunities at the local level.
Project Development Objective: The objective of the MSSRP is to support Jordanian municipalities
affected by the influx of Syrian refugees in delivering services and employment opportunities for
Jordanians and Syrians.
Project Beneficiaries: The Project will target 26 municipalities: 14 participating municipalities (PMs) that
are already part of the parent ESSRP and an additional 7 municipalities under the municipal grants, and
an additional 5 municipalities under the Innovation Fund grants. Therefore, it is expected that the total
number of beneficiaries will reach around 3 million, including more than 500,000 Syrians, who represent
more than 70 percent of Syrians living in host communities other than Greater Amman Municipality
(44% of Syrians living across the country).
Project Components: MSSRP will maintain the Parent Project’s two main components: (i) Municipal
Grants; and (ii) Institutional Development and Project Management. There are no major changes to the
13
activities financed under each of these components except for the introduction of an Innovation Fund
under component 1. Additional adjustments with respect to the Parent Project pertain to the way in
which the activities are selected and delivered (including introducing an element of competition for
accessing grants and placing greater focus on labor intensive works, in line with lessons learned from
ESSRP implementation).
Component 1: Municipal Grants (estimated US$27million)
Municipal grants will be provided annually for a total of 21 municipalities. While the focus under the
parent ESSRP was on the provision of timely delivery of services as an emergency response, the AF will
place higher emphasis on sustainability, responsiveness, and efficiency of services in a way that
promotes longer-term resilience and mitigates risks to social cohesion at local levels. This will be
achieved by: (i) focusing on more inclusive community consultations to ensure that investments better
reflect Jordanian and Syrian’s women’s and men’s needs and priorities; (ii) emphasizing that
investments made through sub-projects are aligned with municipalities’ strategic planning over the
medium-term; (iii) ensuring predictability of funding to allow for better planning that takes into account
the cost of operating and maintaining procured assets; and, (iv) encouraging municipalities to use labor-
intensive techniques for public works to support the generation of jobs for Syrian refugees and
Jordanians.
Given the amount of funding that the 14 PMs under ESSRP have already received over the past three
years, their allocations under MSSRP, will be set at a reduced per capita amount and the focus will be on
maintaining viable levels of service delivery and adequate operation and maintenance of capital
investments financed under the ESSRP. The allocations will be further reduced in subsequent years with
a view to gradually phase out external assistance and have municipalities better manage their own
resources over the course of the AF. To maximize the efficiency of investments amongst municipalities
that have benefited from the ESSRP, the renewal of their eligibility for second- and third-year grants
would be conditioned upon achieving a certain minimum percentage of commitments. New
municipalities will receive higher per capita municipal grants commensurate with their needs to rapidly
improve their highly stressed local services. In the same vein, new municipalities would benefit from
more flexibility in prioritizing their investments.
Such sub-projects could focus on, inter alia: (a) enhancements in basic infrastructure including
rehabilitation and maintenance of road networks and other urban infrastructure, buildings, parks and
economic and social infrastructure; (b) procurement of equipment to support a range of municipal
services including solid waste management, maintenance works and sanitation; c) delivering improved
social services to the community with special focus on women, youth and vulnerable groups. Examples
of sub-projects to be financed through municipal grants will include, but not limited to, procuring solid
waste equipment, small recycling activities, investing in alternative energy sources, roads improvement,
social services and skills development training, particularly those targeting youth and women,
recreational and community facilities, public leisure spaces, etc.
Under the component, additional effort will be made to strengthen the processes of planning,
implementing and monitoring the proposed investments/subprojects and to ensure that sub-projects
consider gender-specific needs of targeted communities. The AF will provide the municipalities with an
opportunity to work on their medium-term strategy linked with investment plans. This will ensure that
the proposed investments are aligned with municipalities’ medium-to-long term vision that considers
14
current challenges, such as expansion and highly strained services, as well as potential for city growth
and planned development.
Municipal investments plans will be presented to the communities during community consultations and
the proposed interventions will be prioritized with the communities. The emphasis will be on inclusive
community consultations, where women, youth, refugees and other marginalized groups are well
represented and their voices are heard. The AF will also encourage and implement tools for citizen
engagement and beneficiary feedback in selected municipalities. The municipalities will be encouraged
to include management plans to ensure quality and monitoring of service delivery as well as operating
and maintenance plans to ensure sustainability of investments. In addition, municipalities will be
encouraged to apply labor intensive techniques in the proposed activities and investments. The process
for selection of municipal investments to be financed by the AF, including guidelines on the consultation
process and appraisal criteria, will be detailed in the Project Operational Manual.
An Innovation Fund (IF) will be introduced under Component 1. The IF will finance demand-driven
projects that may be multi-year and involve inter-municipality collaboration. IF projects shall adhere to
the following set of principles: (i) robust and inclusive participatory consultations and planning, (ii)
provide innovative solutions to local challenges faced by communities, and (iii) contribute directly to the
Project’s outcomes. The IF will also encourage municipalities to (iv) leverage resources and expertise by
partnering with CBOs, NGOs, and private sector in promoting improved services and employment
opportunities for Syrians and Jordanians. Municipalities will furthermore be encouraged to consider
project ideas that have surfaced through other donor-financed engagements, including the USAID-
funded CITIES Project and other similar consultative planning initiatives supported by the EU and
International NGOs.
Innovation Fund processes and procedures. To start, the IF will be launched as a pilot during the first
year and, subject to availability of additional funds, it could be replicated in a second round. The IF cycle
would have a two-step prioritization and selection process. Both steps would involve that projects will
be prioritized and selected based on the following criteria: (i) high focus on women, youth, and
marginalized populations as direct beneficiaries; (ii) high labor content (labor intensive works); (iii)
employment generation potential for Syrians and Jordanians; (iv) established partnerships with private
sectors, NGOs, etc.; (iv) inter-municipal cooperation: and, (v) ensured mechanisms for citizen
engagement and grievance redress. US$ 5mn. are allocated for the pilot during the first year for an
estimated average grant size amounting to US$250,000.
Component 2 – Institutional Support and Project Management (Estimated Amount US$3.0 million)
Activities under this component will include: i) institutional strengthening with experts’ support, ii)
capacity building and trainings, iii) technical assistance. Under institutional strengthening, local experts
will be hired (Annex IV), to support and strengthen the oversight and monitoring capacity of the PMU
while providing implementation support to PMs. PMs will also benefit from customized technical
assistance and training to improve the quality and efficiency of their services, focusing on the following
key aspects: (i) improved strategic and financial planning, (ii) improved accountability vis-à-vis the
communities through the use of citizen outreach and engagement tools, (iii) targeting youth and women
through inclusive practices and projects in order to strengthen social cohesion between Syrians and
Jordanians. Finally, this Component will finance contracts with other organizations for supporting
implementation, including contracts with experts in labor-based works investments and youth and third-
party monitoring.

Environmental categorization
The MSSRP project applies the Environmental and Social Safeguards Policies of the World Bank and has
been classified as a Category B. The Project has prepared an Environmental and Social Management
Framework (ESMF) and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) that were cleared by the Bank and
disclosed by the Bank and the project in 20201.
Construction of Kufr Asad Public Park sub-project is under component 2 of the MSSRP project for which
the site-specific ESIA is to be prepared in accordance with the screening process described in the ESMF.
Therefore, this report aims to develop an ESIA for the aforementioned components of the sub-project as
well as the planned project activities, which include the expected impacts and the mitigation and
monitoring measures, which should be implemented in the different stages of the project (construction
and operation) of the sub-project.
Project Selection Process for the Municipal Grants Cycle Two (MG2)
The selection of MG Cycle 2 sub-projects, was carried out in two phases. The first phase included the
identification of activities of urgent needs through consulting local communities, were each participating
municipality approached its local community using an online questionnaire (published on Facebook) to
discuss projects and activities of importance to the local community to enhance provided municipal
services.
To ensure good level of participation from the residents of the 26 PMs, several awareness tools were
adopted, that included social media platforms (such as Facebook), Municipal Billboard, municipality’s
website, and Dissemination of information and results through the relevant authorities (such as CVBD
and Ministry of Local Affairs) in communicating with their beneficiary groups.
During this phase 8,924 eligible participants (Above the age of 18 and lives in one of the 26 PMs
participating) shared their feedback through the online tool, this process was resulted in identifying 3-5
potential sub-project for each municipality.
The second phase involves the selection of the most important sub-project from the identified sub-
projects in the first phase, the selection process was done by electronic voting tool, were each PM
invited its community to vote on the identified sub-project to select the project of highest importance.

B - Construction of Ecological Park in Kufr Asad – (subject of this report) -

MG2 Sub-Project
The Construction of Kufr Asad Public Park will be implemented in Al-Wastyyeh Municipality the owner of
this sub-project, through a municipal grant cycle 2 (MG2) through the Jordan Municipal Services and
Social Resilience project (MSSRP).
The project aims to develop a public park in Kufr Asad Village, located within Al-Wasteyyah Municipality
in north Jordan. This Park will serve as a recreational hub, providing various amenities and facilities to
enhance the quality of life for residents, particularly the male youth. Currently, the area lacks facilities
specifically designed for this demographic, as there are already two parks in the vicinity that are
dedicated to families and female youth. The Park will feature a multipurpose field, a family area, green
spaces, a small shop, public facilities (restrooms) for both men, women and disabled people, fostering a
sense of community and promoting outdoor activities.
Allocating a park to be mainly used by male youth is a practice serves as a way to maintain the
traditional norms and customs of the community. It's worth mentioning that Kufr Asad is a rural area in
Jordan known for its conservative community. Due to its conservative values, there is a cautious
approach to mixing between males and females, especially in public places. In rural areas in Jordan and
Kufr Asad is not and exception, it is common for male youth to be restricted from entering certain
venues such as parks and malls unless accompanied by female family members.
Female youth will also be able to use the park facilities of the park with pre pre-arrangements with the
municipality.
All the construction and rehabilitation works will be in in which the area is devoid of any biodiversity
species or habitats of significant ecological value

C - Rational of ESMP
According to the “Screening Checklist for Assessment of Environmental and Social Impact for MG2”
prepared by PMU, the Construction of Kufr Asad Public Park in Al-Wasteyyeh Municipality was classified
as World Bank Category B, which requires the preparation of site-specific ESMP. Under Jordanian

3.2 Biodiversity
Biodiversity means the variety of life on earth. This variety can be measured on several different
diversity levels: genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity.
Genetic diversity measures variation between individuals of the same species, whereas species diversity
is the variety of species in a given region or area.
Communities of plants and animals together with the physical characteristics of their environment (e.g.
geology, soil and climate) combined together as an ecological system or ecosystem. Ecosystem diversity
is more difficult to measure, since there are rarely clear boundaries between different ecosystems, but
the number and distribution of species in the ecosystem can be measured.
Biodiversity researchers have estimated that, the total number of species around the world is
approximately 15 million species. Currently, researchers have identified only 1.7 million species.
Jordan is rich and highly diverse country with around 2,543 4 recorded species of vascular plants,
belonging to 152 families, representing about 1% of the total flora of the world. One hundred species
are endemic, forming about 2.5% of the total flora of Jordan. Many species are considered rare or
endangered, but the status of many plants remains unknown. A total of 82 4 mammal species are known
to exist in Jordan. These species belong to 7 orders and 24 families. A total of 98 4 reptiles species belong
to 18 families are recorded in Jordan.

Jordan has a wide diversity of bird habitat types due to its varied topography and climate as well as its
biogeographical location. More than 436 4 bird species belong to 58 families have been recorded in
Jordan.
Although Jordan is a small country of about 89,000 km 2, it has a great variety of wildlife due to the
formation of the Great Rift Valley4, geographical location at the junction of three continents; Asia, Africa
and Europe, as well as its diverse landscape, weather conditions and geological structure.
The project area is not considered of any biodiversity importance, since the project area does not
include any form of flora or fauna diversity, in addition to be far away from any biological protective
zone.

4.2.3 Health Care
Jordan is considered one of the most advanced health care service providers in the region and was
ranked by the World Bank to be among the top five in the world. The national health care system is
provided by the Ministry of Health (MoH), the Armed Forces and the private sector.
Irbid governorate hosts one governmental hospital hosts 17 hospitals with a total 2,398 beds, there are
many operators of hospitals in Irbid that include MOH, private sectors and military services, the detailed
statistics of hospital health care in Irbid governorate are shown in Error: Reference source not found

4.3 Employment
The data acquired from DoS for the year 2021, shows that the economically active Jordanians in Irbid
Governorate is 34.4%, in which 54.5% of males are economically active compared to 13.9% of females.
the percentage of employed people in Irbid Governorate is 25.8% whereas the unemployed are 8.7%.
The age distribution of employment among the economically active (above 15 years old) is illustrated in
Table 4-10, it is clear that the child labor (Less than 18 years old) in Irbid governorate is the second
highest in Jordan, with 3.6% child labor of the total employed, Mafraq governorate is higher than the
national level of child labor that reaches 1.8% in the year 2021.

18.76% compared 81.24% of females, Irbid Governorate represents 19.23% of this figure with around
263,769 employees, the gender distribution of employment in Irbid is quite different than the national
figure, where male employees are higher than female, in which females occupies 17.13% of jobs in Irbid
compared to 82.87% of males.
40
4.4 Child labor

Child labor is prevalent in all the sectors of the Jordanian economy, especially the agriculture sector.
However, the National Child Labor Survey of 2016 5 indicates that around 1.8 percent of children aged 5–
17, representing 700,000 children, are working under child labor condition, the vast majority of child
labour is in the agricultural sector with around 43% of economically active children ages 7 to 14 years
were engaged in agriculture6. Child laborers also work in the manufacturing, construction, and
wholesale and trade sectors. Among these sectors, the construction sector it is the least sector that
includes child labour due to the nature of activities and capacities required to perform these activities.
it is important to mention that Jordanian laws and regulations prohibit (include law) child labour, except
in specific cases, allow work of children between 15-17 years old, which justify the relatively low
percentage jobs occupied by children as mentioned previously. Further details are presented in
following sections. Additionally, MSSRP has been collaborating with the International Labor Organization
(ILO) for a long period regarding labor and working conditions. The ILO has developed specific “decent
working conditions” including child labour which have become an integral part of the standard bidding
documents under the project, and will be applied to this sub-project. These conditions clearly prohibit
the employment of workers under the age of 18 years old.
4.5 Land Use/ Land Acquisition

The project area is totally owned by Al- Wastyyeh Municipality, in which project land is owned by the
municipality, and the construction process will not include any form of acquisition of any private owned
property.
Please See Annex 2 – Project Land Ownership
4.6 Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (SEA/SH)

Discrimination based on race, language, and religion is prohibited by Article 6 of the Jordanian
Constitution. However, the Constitution does not make any reference to gender-based discrimination.
During 2020, 94.1% of SEA/SH survivors assisted by data gathering organizations were female, this is in
line with global GBV trends highlighting that women and girls are disproportionately affected by GBV. In
Jordan, only a limited number of organizations provide hotlines for women victims of violence. The
National Centre for Human Rights and the State’s Family Protection Department operate national
hotlines providing emergency support 24 hours.
Based on available research, the prevalence of sexual violence in Jordan (9.2%) is higher than the
regional average of the Middle East and North Africa (6.85%), the prevalence of intimate partner
violence is lower than the regional average (23.6% per DHS 2012, 1% below regional average). Jordan
has also enacted laws on sexual harassment (Penal Code, Arts. 305 and 306), which outline penalties for
the offence of unwanted sexual contact. Penalties are increased if the perpetrator is an employer or
supervisor.

The environmental and social assessment (section 5.1) provides details on measures developed by
MSSRP to minimize or prevent SEA/SH within MSSRP and all activities funded by the project including
Kufr Asad.
4.7 People with Special Needs

In this era, particularly in developing societies, and as a result of the rapid spread of information,
institutions and organizations have had to raise awareness and develop data collection methods to keep
pace with global developments to overcome current realities and address challenges and obstacles for
the persons with disabilities to reach their rights.
In Jordan, people with special needs forms an important percentage (11.1%) of the Jordanian
community, in which the Jordan Department of Statistics published statistics shows that out of every
nine people aged 5 and above in Jordan, one has impairment (functional difficulty).
MSSRP have addressed the importance of people with special needs inclusions in the sub-projects, were
the screening process of submitted projects from relevant municipalities, has clearly required in Annex
5: Screening Checklist for Assessment of Environment and Social Impacts of the ESMF, that any sub-
project associated with any civil work involves new buildings or structures, or roads, that will be
accessed by the public must consider the needs of women, youth and disabled, where technically and
financially feasible.
Additionally, the Jordanian regulations have addressed the importance of having disabled people
friendly facilities in which The Code of Building Requirements for The Disabled (2018 Edition), is
representing the mandatory special foundations, standards, controls, and requirements that must be
available in public buildings and facilities to facilitate their use by persons with disabilities, hence all
designs approved by Jordanian responsible authority have passed all Jordanian National Building Codes
requirements including The Code of Building Requirements for The Disabled.
Furthermore, to ensure best conditions for disabled persons among all IF sub-project facilities, MSSRP
PMU have signed an agreement with the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (HCD),
in which HCD will review all sub-projects designs and provide suggestion (if applicable) to enhance
design’s appropriateness to disabled persons and provide their accreditation on the designs.
This agreement between MSSRP PMU and HCD, is considered the first of its kind in which HCD is
assigned to provide their accreditation, such activity is considered as a positive indirect impact of the
project in terms of empowering HCD and building their capacity in this regard.
Please see Annex 3 - HCD Recommendation
The project design considers the special needs of people with disabilities, in which the planning and
designing of the project took into consideration all measures to meet the various needs of traffic and
pedestrian traffic, ensuring the first priority for pedestrian movement, safe, easy access and smooth
movement for all users and people with special needs.
42
4.8 Vulnerable groups

The term "vulnerable groups" is usually synonymous with "groups at risk". As stated in Gender and
social inclusion Assessment document developed by MSSRP, “vulnerable refers to those who may be
more likely to be adversely affected by project impacts and/or more limited than others in their ability
to take advantage of a project’s benefits. These individuals or groups are also more likely to be excluded
from or unable to participate fully in the mainstream consultation process therefore requiring specific
measures and/or assistance to do so. Some groups that fall under this category are youth, elderly,
persons with disabilities, women, and refugees”.
4.9 Social conflicts

There are no significant social conflicts in the sub-project area (i.e. related to contestation over land or
natural resources). The sub-project takes place on municipal owned land within the municipality of Al
Wastyyeh. One of the main purposes of MSSRP is to alleviate the pressure placed on municipal services
and to enhance social cohesion through improved confidence in local authorities and through economic
opportunities for both Jordanians and Syrians.
Following the consultation session and scoping session conducted during the preparation of the study,
site visits, and upon further review of available relevant documents it was found that there is no social
conflict of any type within the project area.
Taking into consideration that the survey has covered all potentially affected community members
including residence of the surrounding houses, in which all of these stakeholders have shown
acceptance of the project as long as the municipality is ensuring the implementation of mitigation
measures highlighted in this study.
4.10 Cultural heritage

MEGA Jordan (the improved version of Jordan Antiquities Database and Information System JADIS) was
checked to verify the archaeological sites within the project area. It was found that a 57 archaeological
site within Al- Wastyyeh district. However, the proposed project area would not have direct lay within
these areas, there is still a possibility to find archaeological artefacts during excavation activities, in
which the following sections discuss anticipated impacts on archeology and the chance find procedure
that to be followed by the relevant stakeholder.
43
CHAPTER 5 - ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

This section is discussing the identification and evaluation of anticipated impacts from Construction of
Kufr Asad Public Park Project, and the suggested mitigation measures that avoid, or if avoidance not
possible, reduce potentially adverse social and environmental impacts to acceptable levels.
The Identification process of potential impacts (concerns), has taken into consideration the nature of the
activities associated with the project in addition to the concerns raised by relevant stakeholders during
the different consultation activities including the conducted survey in 12 October 2022. In which all
Potential interactions of these concerns were specified and evaluated with respect to the following
Valued Environmental and Social Components (VESCs):
 Socio-economic Conditions.
 Environmental impacts.
 Community Health and Safety (CHS)
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
 Cultural Heritage
 Traffic impacts
The identification process was followed by the assessment of impacts’ significance that take into
consideration the likelihood and severity of each impact according to the following:
 The level of impact was ranked as 1 (low), 2 (moderate) and 3 (high).

 The likelihood of occurrence was ranked as a (low), b (moderate) and c (high).
 All interactions ranked 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b and 3c may have environmental and social impacts and will
be assessed in the ESMP study.
Due to the nature of the project the vast majority of impacts were found to be during the construction
phase, while operation phase concerns are limited to cleaning and maintenance activities.
The data shown in Table 5-11 and Table 5-12 summarize all identified concerns and its relevant VESCs in
addition to impact magnitude during project different phases.

5.1 Socio-Economic
The impact assessment process has addressed the following concerns associated with construction
phase:
 Lack of transparency in employment process

 Non-equal employment opportunities for women and people with disabilities
 Do not provide a workplace friendly environment for women and people with disability
 Not providing employment opportunities for Syrian refugees
 Child labor
 Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (SEA/SH)
 Improper grievance mechanism
 Lack of compliance to laws and regulation by sub-contractors (if any)
During the operation phase the following concerns were identified:
● Proper waste management to handle increased waste generation from the park's amenities
● Increased demand for park maintenance and cleaning activities.
47
Indirectly the project might have positive impacts on commercial activities around or on the way to the
park as a result of the increasing number of park visitors, additionally, business opportunities could also
be generated around the park.
5.1.1 Employment
Impact Assessment
The analysis of potential impacts as a result of project implementation, shows that the project is
associated with several negative and positive impacts, the positive impact during the construction phase
is associated with the temporary job opportunities to be generated from project activities, in which all of
these jobs will be filled from the local community of Al-Wastyyeh while providing special quota for
vulnerable groups such as women and people with special needs, in addition to Syrian refugees which
will provide an opportunity for social inclusion for this group with its hosting community.
Mitigation Measures
However, the project is considered to have a strong positive impact, it is important to ensure fair and
transparent employment process, this process will be managed by ILO, in which unskilled staff will be
chosen randomly from a data bank that to be developed by ILO, in which ILO will provide the contractor
with required amount of personnel.
As per the skilled personnel, another data bank will be developed by ILO that include all specialties that
might be required in this project, where upon the request of the contractor, who will determine the
numbers and specialties needed, ILO will provide the contractor with 3 candidates for each job
opportunity, and he will interview them and chose the best candidate for each job.
The priority for employment will be for women, youth and those with special needs and addressing
barriers for women, young people and those with special needs to access economic services and
opportunities where the proposed project will meet the needs of the local community in an innovative
way.
Finally, ILO will insure fair distribution of jobs between community members in which 30% of the new
jobs will be given to the Syrian refugees compared to 70% for Jordanians, additionally ILO will ensure
that a special quota shall be giving to women and people with special needs.
The following mitigation measures should be addressed by the contractor:
 Equal remuneration: Equal remuneration for men, women, Syrian workers, and people with
disability for work of equal value
 Minimum age for work is 18: Ensure that no juveniles under the age of 18 are engaged in this
work. Note: Although the Section 74 of the Jordanian Labour Code allows in certain cases the
employability of juveniles aged 16-17, for the purpose of this project no one under the age of 18
will be permitted to be employed, as the nature of the infrastructure work may risk the health
and safety of children.
 Equal employment opportunities for Women: The contractors are required to allocate at least
10% of labour days to female workers
48
 Employment opportunities for people with disability: The contractors are required to allocate at
least 3% of labour days to persons with disabilities.
 Employment of Syrian refugees: The Contractor will recruit 30% of workers from the Syrian
nationality. The Contractor will secure their work permits from the local department of Labour
 Task-based daily wage: To ensure that all workers, independent of their sex, ethnicity or mental
or physical condition, receive the same salary for the same type of work done
Additionally, whereas applicable, the contractor is obligated to follow all measures highlighted in the
draft Supplementary Particular Conditions developed by the International Labor Organization (ILO), as
described in Annex 8 of the ESMF document.
During operation, the expected job opportunities that to be generated has to filled in coordination with
ILO to ensure transparency and inclusion of all community categories.
Please see Annex 4 - Supplementary Particular Conditions
5.1.2 Child Labour
Although the Jordanian law allow work for children between 15-17 years old in special cases, MSSRP is
collaborating with the International Labor Organization (ILO) to ensure proper labor and working
conditions. The ILO has developed specific “decent working conditions” including child labour which
have become an integral part of the standard bidding documents under the project, and will be applied
to this sub-project. These conditions clearly prohibit the employment of workers under the age of 18
years old, in which the contractor must comply with these requirements.
5.1.3 Vulnerable Groups
Impact assessment
It is important to address gender inequalities and ensure equal opportunities for all individuals,
regardless of their gender. If female youth are unable to use a multi-purpose field while male youth can,
it indicates a disparity in access and opportunities. This situation can contribute to the vulnerability of
female youth and limit their participation in physical activities, sports, and other recreational
opportunities.
Mitigation Measures
To address this issue, it is crucial to promote gender equality and create inclusive spaces where both
male and female youth can engage in various activities. Here are some measures that can be taken:
 Pre-arrangements with the municipality: Arranging specific times for female youth to use the
field can help create a safe and supportive environment for them. This can encourage their
participation in sports and physical activities.
 Awareness and education: Raise awareness about the importance of gender equality and the
benefits of providing equal opportunities for all youth.
49
5.1.4 Social Conflict
Although the assessment process shows that the project is not associated with any social conflict, it is
important to note that the project relevant stakeholders (Contractor, Municipality, PMU, etc.) should
comply with MSSRP GRM discussed in the following section 5.1.7.
5.1.5 Gender and Social Inclusion
Impact Assessment
Since ratifying numerous international human rights conventions to ensure equality and non-
discrimination on the basis of gender, Jordan has recently made significant commitments to the
achievement of gender equality at both the national and international levels. Additionally, the National
Strategy for Women in Jordan (2020–2025) was approved, reinforcing the Jordanian Government's
commitment to empowering women and protecting their rights as well as signaling the Government's
commitment to adolescent girls. Despite Jordan's concerted efforts, the review process must be finished
to guarantee that no legislation has any provisions that discriminate against women. Women's economic
involvement and violence against women are two major obstacles to achieving gender equality and
social inclusion.
Mitigation Measures
The MSSRP is working to make sure that social inclusion and gender equality are mainstreamed
throughout all aspects of the Project and that the procedures followed in the identification, selection,
and implementation of municipal services and sub-projects fully account for the needs of women, men,
boys, and girls, as well as vulnerable groups in the communities being served. This responsibility has
been assigned to the PMU's gender specialist, who is also in charge of the gender capacity-building
program that will be provided to the project's employees, pertinent clients and stakeholders, host
communities, including Syrian refugees, NGOs, women, men, and youth. Additionally, the project set a
goal of allocating 30% of municipal grants (MG) and innovation fund (IF) funding to initiatives focusing
on women and young people, therefore the contractor and operator should comply with social inclusion
instructions, polices, or instruments developed by PMU.
3.1[5.2] Environmental Impacts

3.1.1[5.2.1] Air Quality
Impact Assessment
There are many processes that could cause dust emissions during the construction process of Kufr Asad
park, and the associated activities with site preparation and the accompanying excavations activities and
backfilling, construction materials transporting and mixing on-site, soil piling and improper management
of construction materials, etc. Also, gaseous air pollutants and dust will be emitted from the vehicles
and other construction machinery.
It is expected that dust, soot and other gaseous pollutants such as Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon
Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) will be emitted from the proposed
project activities mainly from the construction machinery during the construction phase. Total Volatile
50
Organic Compounds (TVOCs) could be also released from coating activities and asphalt paving, which
could also participate in the odor issue.
Dust enters the body through inhalation, swallow or skin absorption. Dust could be annoying,
unpleasant, destructive, harmful, toxic or carcinogenic. The effect of the dust depends on the particle
size, composition, period of exposure and the size of the dose.
Soot (diesel soot) which is emitted from the construction machinery as well as from transport trucks has
negative health effect, especially on the lungs and cardiovascular system. Soot could increase the
possibility of allergies, asthma attacks and bronchitis, in addition to increase the risk of heart attack and
lung cancer.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is an irritant gas that affects the human health, mainly due to its high-water
solubility on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and eyes. It affects adversely the
respiratory system. More than 99% of the sulfur dioxide will be absorbed by the nasopharynx in case of
nasal breathing. High sulfur content in the diesel may result in the release of SO2.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is produced by incomplete combustion; therefore, it can be found in the vehicle
and machinery off-gas. The gas is colorless, odorless and lighter than air. The gas can bind with the blood
instead of oxygen with symptoms including headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. In
extreme cases, impaired consciousness and cramps occurred. CO is also involved in the photochemical
formation of ground-level ozone.
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) have adverse effects on the eyes, mucous membranes and lungs, causing
diseases such as bronchitis, allergies, irritation, and pulmonary edema.
Hydrocarbons (HC), especially the Poly-Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), frequently absorbed to

particulate matter (diesel soot). Some of the PAHs are carcinogenic. More than 100 different PAHs are
produced as a result of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
During construction phase, the air quality impacts is considered temporary for the duration of
construction activities, noting that the activities are away from receptors. While the impact on air quality
during operation is considered to be since the project will be associated with planting of several trees.
Mitigation Measures
The following mitigation measures are suggested to avoid, or if avoidance not possible, reduce
potentially adverse social impacts to acceptable levels:
 Dust resulting from construction activities

o All active construction areas shall be wetted slightly to reduce dust generation. Wetting
process depends on the type of operation and on the wind speed
o The paved roads and areas shall be cleaned from the visible soil carried out by
construction activities on a daily basis
o The unused materials piles shall be covered to minimize dust resulting from the wind,
and they shall be removed promptly
o All trucks hauling soil, sand and other loose materials shall be covered well.
o Regular visual assessment of dust emissions shall be applied
51
o The unloading of loose solid materials from the trucks at site shall be managed well to
avoid dust emissions, such as applying the most appropriate angle of unloading as well
as the area shall have walls against wind direction.
 Machinery and vehicles shall not be left idling for long periods if they are not in use (> 5
minutes)
 It is necessary to monitor vehicular emissions regularly and to conduct periodical maintenance
of construction vehicles and machinery, in order to reduce their emissions to comply with the
limits of national and international standards.
3.1.2[5.2.2] Water Resources
Impact Assessment
The analysis of potential impacts as a result of project implementation, shows that the project will not
have significant impacts on water resources, however, the following concerns are still need to be
considered:
 Possible impact on water consumption

 Possible Impact on the groundwater basins due to leakage of any harmful residues, wastewater,
fuel or other oil-related product
Mitigation Measures
However, impacts assessment process indicated for low significance on water resources during the
different project phases, water resources have significant importance due to the national water status,
therefore, the following preventive measures is suggested to protect water resources from any potential
damage:
 The contactor shall use temporary tanks for water that will be filled by water tankers depending
on water consumption in the project during the construction phase.
 Any spilled chemical shall be immediately collected and disposed of in appropriate manner
 Contractor shall ensure fuel containers are sealed after use and stored in an area with
impervious surface
 Maintain all machinery, equipment and vehicles within the site in order to avoid any leakage
3.1.3[5.2.3] Noise
Impact Assessment
Exposure to noise is known to affect hearing and might cause gradual hearing loss due to frequent
exposure to high noise levels, additionally, Excessive exposure to noise is associated with several health
issues that contribute to stress related diseases including high blood pressure and coronary artery
disease.
Exposure to noise as a result of this project is limited to construction phase, where high level of noise is
expected to be generated as a result of excavation and construction machinery that to be used such as
graders, backhoes, jackhammers and tankers
52
However noise during construction phase is considered of low significance due to its temporary nature
and that the activities are away from receptors, It is important to mention that noise generated from
transportation activities of construction materials and machinery during construction phase (ca. 90
dB(A)) will contribute to increasing noise level along its routes of movement, which might include
sensitive receptors such as schools and hospitals, hence appropriate mitigation measures should be
applied to avoid or reduce such impact.
Mitigation Measures
 All equipment, machinery and vehicles shall be maintained in line with manufacturer's
recommendations to meet relevant standards in terms of noise level.
 The vehicles, machinery and machines shall be used responsibly, e.g. machines and vehicles
shall not be left idling for long periods if they are not in use (> 5 minutes).
 The transportation activities shall be performed during day time only if the route goes through
residential areas. Night time and weekend day shall be excluded
 Whereas applicable, for transportation materials and equipment; the contractor shall avoid
routes that include sensitive receptors.
3.1.4[5.2.4] Waste Management
Impact Assessment
During construction
The maximum amount of domestic waste expected to be generated by workers during construction
phase could reach 20 kg per day depending on the number of workers simultaneously existing in the
working site, this figure was estimated based on the expected number of workers during this phase is
expected to reach 20 employees. However, the exact amount of waste generated from workers on daily
bases shall vary from day-to-day depending on the number of workers in the site.
As per the construction waste, the effect of excavated soil (debris), and the residues of the building
materials on public health depends on how these wastes are managed and disposed-off, in case of
improper management these wastes might become a hospitable environment for rodents, insects and
reptiles which considered a public health issue.
The hazardous waste during construction phase is commonly associated with oils, fuel and consumables
used for construction machines and equipment, in which spillage of these materials might cause public
health risk if not managed properly. Additionally, some construction waste might also be considered as
hazardous waste such as paints, solvents, etc. as well as empty containers of these materials. Improper
management of these materials might cause a public health issue.
During Operation
The types and quantities of wastes associated with the operation phase, is generally varies from those
associated with construction phase, in which the following waste categories are expected to be
generated during operation:
 Domestic wastes from park visitors and staff
53
 Maintenance waste
Improper management of waste will generate public health issues, such as odor, rodents, insects, etc.
Mitigation Measures
During Construction
 Some of the waste could be avoided by good planning during pre-construction phase and follow
waste minimization hierarchy (avoid, minimize, reuse).
 Resulted cut materials shall be tested for possible use as backfill material, sub-base or base.
 All excavation surpluses shall be disposed of from the working site
 All domestic solid wastes shall be collected in compatible closed containers and then transferred
frequently to the authorized waste disposal site with prior coordination with the relevant
authorities
 Throwing away any type of waste is strictly forbidden as well as burning any type of waste.
 Littering shall be prevented, even during the transport activities
 All machines shall be regularly maintained to avoid any oil spillage
 A specified area shall be prepared for maintenance work with containment area, which shall be
impervious to collect any oil spill
 Waste oil generated from the construction machinery and vehicles shall be collected and
managed according to “Management and Handling of Used Oil Regulations (2014)” issued by the
Ministry of Environment.
 All hazardous wastes generated from the construction machinery and vehicles shall be collected
and managed according to the Instructions of Hazardous Waste Management and Handling
(2019) issued by the Ministry of Environment
During Operation
 Sufficient number of waste containers with proper distribution and capacities should be made
available
 Al- Wastyyeh municipality is responsible for collecting wastes on regular bases
 For organic waste, it is recommended to study the possibility of turning this waste into compost
as a recycling option.
 The municipality is advised to study recycling options for domestic wastes
 Municipality is advised to raise awareness among park visitors towards solid waste management
and minimization.
 Maintenance waste should be kept minimum as possible
 Different waste streams shall be disposed of responsibly, requiring safe and secure waste
collection, e.g. not vulnerable to scavengers and being blown away by high wind.
3.1.5[5.2.5] Wastewater Management
Impact Assessment
The amount of wastewater generated from worksite on daily basis is variable, in which it depends on
the total number of persons in the worksite, the maximum expected wastewater generated could reach
54
4 m3 per day considering that 20 employees are in the worksite. Improper disposal of wastewater could
generate public health problems.
The amounts of waste water generated during operation phase are dependent on numbers of park
visitors in addition to visit duration.
Mitigation Measure
During Construction
 Mobile toilets with water basins as well as shower rooms shall be available to be used by the
workers during construction
 The domestic wastewater generated by the workers shall be collected in (septic) tanks and then
transported to the nearest wastewater treatment plant
During Operation
 Wastewater generated during operation phase, should be collected and disposed of in

accordance with applicable national regulation
 The municipality should study the possibility of connecting park facilities to sewer system
network.
5.3 Community Health and Safety

Impact Assessment
The public could be affected during the construction phase by the generated dust and noise, traffic
accidents due to increased traffic movement.
To avoid any possibility of risk from interaction of construction crews with the public, it is important to
ensure proper awareness of workers about the nature of the local community culture and the limitation
of interaction with the local community.
Mitigation Measures
 The Contractor shall be responsible for the safety and health of people, properties and
communities who may be affected by the Works.
 The Contractor shall take care not to interfere unnecessarily or improperly with the convenience
or safety of the public or with access to and use and occupation of all roads and footpaths,
homes and businesses, regardless of whether they are public or in the possession of the
Employer or others.
5.3.1 SEA/SH
Impact Assessment
55
In assessing risks related to SEA/SH, the MSSRP project has considered the guidance of the World Bank’s
Good Practice Note on Addressing SEA/SH Risks in Investment Project Financing Involving Major Civil
Works7. A project-level SEA/SH risk assessment was conducted as part of the Project’s Gender and Social
Inclusion Assessment (May 2020) and identified the following key risk factors:
 The geographically dispersed nature of the sub-projects has the potential to give rise to
situations of SEA/SH. MSSRP sub-projects are by nature, related to roads, parks, and
infrastructure that can be in close proximity to schools and areas used by women, children, and
other vulnerable groups on a daily basis. These sub-projects are scattered across 28
participating municipalities (PMs) throughout Jordan. Other project activities that routinely
involve women from the community, include stakeholder engagement sessions, that may be led
by the municipality, the Local Development Unit (LDU), or the PMU.
 The project’s target population includes Syrian refugees, 80% of which live outside camps living
in host communities targeted by MSSRP. Refugees are considered vulnerable populations for
SEA/SH risks.
 The small, dispersed works and activities under the project makes it difficult to monitor SEA
across the full span of works and activities. MSSRP sub-projects are undertaken by contractors
and sub-contractors hired by the municipalities and workers are hired locally (ILO supports
labor-intensive work programs). The sub-project is supervised by municipal engineers and the
PMU, and the project also engages youth from the community as monitors. Women are
generally poorly represented in the contracted workforce of the project. Although cultural
norms support highly gender segregated work areas and environments, there are instances
where women might be in unsupervised environments, for example, female engineers at the
worksite.
Overall, the SEA/SH risk rating for the project is low. However local capacity to prevent/respond to
incidents is considered limited and needs to be bolstered. MSSRP has developed a GBV Action Plan at
project level and builds upon the Gender and Social Inclusion Assessment (GSIA, May 2020) conducted
for the Municipal Services and Social Resilience Project and includes key SEA/SH Risk Mitigation and
Response Measures in line with the World Bank Good Practice Note (February 2020).The SEA/SH Risk
Mitigation Action Plan, which the projects intends to to disclose soon, focuses on key actions that are in
place currently and to be undertaken immediately within the remaining project implementation
duration.
Mitigation Measures
The project has adopted a Code of Conduct for all project staff, consultants, PMs and contractors. The
Code of Conduct for project staff, consultants and PMs is called the Commitment Letter and is appended
in Annex 4. The contractors (including those working on Al-Wastyyeh) are obliged to adopt a
Contractor’s Code of Conduct that is included in the bidding documents and are required to enforce it
for their workers.
7
Environmental & Social Framework for IPF Operations Addressing Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual
Harassment (SEA/SH) in Investment Project Financing involving Major Civil Works (February 2020)
https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/632511583165318586-0290022020/original/
ESFGPNSEASHinmajorcivilworks.pdf
56
Additionally, a “Supervision Strategy and Guiding Procedures” for monitoring adherence to the
Commitment Letter (CL) for Employees, Consultants, Contractors and Participating Municipalities
regarding Gender Based Violence - Sexual Exploitation and Abuse/Sexual Harassment” has been
developed for the MSSRP and will be applicable to this sub-project.
Another tool to ensure a proper work environment, free of SEA/SH problems, the PMU has assigned a
third party with a hotline to handle any SEA/SH related grievances, which will be available for all project
staff and beneficiaries in the project area, including Kufr Asad. This will allow any complaints to be
handled confidentially using a survivor-centered approach. The GRM Focal Points in each municipality
and the PMU will be trained on specific protocols for referring complaints.
The SEA/SH hotline information will be posted at Kufr Asad Park sub-project site (+962 777 387 221).
This hotline will serve the sub-project until the closing of MSSRP. The municipality would have to
provide GBV mitigation measures beyond MSSRP project.
5.3.2 People with Special Needs
However, MSSRP through its screening process have ensured addressing the special requirements of
people with special needs in the selected sub-projects including this sub-project, it is important to
highlight the owner and contractor must ensure that any building or infrastructure to be barrier free
during the different project phases, more over the contractor must ensure the following:
 Accessible parking spaces

 Accessible entrance/door
 Ramps at correct height
5.3.3 Potential Injuries
Impact Assessment
Due to the nature of the park and the expected activities that to be associated with its operation, park
user’s safety should be addressed. However, the expected impact of injuries is low, a proper mitigation
measures should be addressed to avoid any potential of injuries.
It is worth mentioning that such impact is restricted to operation phase sense no public visits will be
allowed during construction phase, and the injuries risks associated with workers during construction
are covered in the OHS plan.
The current design, does not including the construction of fences or walls on park perimeter, which
could cause a risk of falling, as a result of height difference between project land and surrounding area,
in which the level of project land is higher than surrounding area.
Mitigation Measures
The following mitigation measures should be addressed by park operator (Municipality):
 The municipality should consider constructing a wall or iron fence all around the park perimeter.
57
 Availability of first aid kits.
5.3.4 Sub-Contractors compliance
Impact Assessment
The contractor might consider sub-contracting some activities during the construction phase, where
these sub-contractors might cause public health issues in case of not complying with applicable laws and
regulation in addition to measures outlined in this ESMP study.
Mitigation Measures
 The contractor is responsible that all activities carried out is under his direct supervision, in
which he will be responsible for any violation done by his staff or by other sub-contractor staff
 All relevant measures highlighted in section 5.1 must be followed by the contractor, workers
and any third party associated with construction activities (sub-contractors, service provider,
etc.)
5.4 Occupation Health and Safety

5.4.1 General Worksite Safety Management
Impact Assessment
Project’s nature, indicates that the significant occupational relevant issues will be restricted to
construction phase, in which during the operation phase the level of safety risks is low except those
related to maintenance activities and potential injuries of park staff.
Understanding of risks associated with workplace environment, is critical for ensure safety of workers
with worksite, in which work injuries might results due to improper management of safety issues within
worksite, the nature of risks varies depending on the activities’ nature, however for this project the
anticipated risks were found to associated with the following activities
 Electric works
 Excavation works
 Construction works
 Working at height
Mitigation Measures
The contractor should develop an occupational health and safety (OHS) plan to prevent such injuries and
suggest mitigation measures in case of incidents. Workers and employee’s safety will be taken into
consideration to ensure that accidents are avoided during the construction phase.
The to be developed OHS plan should consider specific work conditions and its associated risk and
appropriate mitigation measures, such as electric works, excavation sites and working at heights,
additionally the OHS plan should include the following:
58
 Identification and assessment of potential risks

 Each identified risk should be associated with appropriate mitigation measures
 Assigning HSE officer
 Life and Fire Safety (L&FS) Master Plan identifying
o Major fire risks,
o Applicable codes, standards and regulations, and
o Mitigation measures
 Safety and health induction
o The Contractor shall be responsible for the safety of all activities on the Site. He/she
shall provide all personnel on site with adequate safety protection equipment and
clothing, as appropriate to the work being performed.
o The Contractor shall provide instructions on Occupational Health and Safety as part of
the induction process for new workers.
o The Employer may organize campaigns for enhancing safety awareness among the
workforce on site and regarding general health issues. The Contractor shall allow his
staff to attend to these campaign events during normal working hours and without
deduction of pay.
o The Contractor, shall ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the workplaces,
machinery, equipment and processes under their control are safe and without risk to
health, and that the chemical, physical and biological substances and agents under their
control are without risk to health when the appropriate measures of protection are
taken; and provide, where necessary, adequate protective clothing and protective
equipment to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, risk of accidents or of adverse
effects to health.
o Contractors shall provide at all times instruction on safety and health procedures to all
personnel during the work operations on sites.
o Contractors shall establish a program of inspections of work activities, locations and
workers to assess safety practices and conditions against contractual requirements.
 Social Security or Workers Insurance
o The Contractor shall register all workers in the national Social Security Scheme and pay
the required contributions of the worker and organization to cover the working period.
o The Purpose: to provide financial backing to any worker who gets hurt, disabled or loses
their life due to a work-related accident.
o Note: The insurance needs to be valid for the entire duration of the works. The
insurance should cover all work-related accidents including the transportation to and
from the work site.
 Drinking Water: The Contractor shall provide access to safe and clean drinking water with
sufficient quantities (2 Liters per person per day) to prevent heat stress, heat stroke,
hyperthermia and the medical condition of dehydration. These are all threats to workplace
safety, especially in settings where employees may be working at very high or low temperatures,
or outside
 Toilet and Washing facilities: The Contractor shall provide adequate toilets and washing facilities
for workers.
The OHS plan should be revised and approved by PMU.
Emergency Management Plan (EMP)
59
During the operational phase, it is crucial to have EMP in case of an accident, as it helps prepare for an
emergency by identifying risks to critical areas and how to best protect them. The PMU will provide
training for all PMs in order to be able to prepare an appropriate EMP for all sub-project, during the
training an EMP table of content will be prepared. All prepared plans will be reviewed and accredited by
the PMU.
In addition, the Employees are expected to have a training course for emergency situations and they
shall be trained to an Evacuation plan in case of Natural Risks.
In order to avoid these risks, the following mitigation measures are expected during construction phase:
● Implement strict safe system of work (work permit system, risk assessment, site inspection by
safety team and managers)
● "Directorate No. 9 “Health and safety mitigation procedures to reduce spread of COVID-19” by
MoL, April 2020 or any amendment to this Directorate. These comprehensive procedures apply
to all industrial establishments and non-industrial according to the facilities of the institution.
The Contractor(s) must ensure the following:
The ESMP suggested mitigation and monitoring measures to assure a safe environment for the workers
and the public including preparation of OHS plan by the contractor and approved by PMU.
5.5 Cultural Heritage

Impact Assessment
Although the project will not take place within any designated physical cultural resources sites, there
still a possibility that during excavation activities, to unexpectedly find buried physical cultural resources.
During operation phase, the project is not expected to have a direct impact on the archaeological sites in
the area since the project does not directly cross over any archaeological sites.
Mitigation Measures
If any chance finds are encountered during implementation, the contractor is obligated to follow the
national procedures and the national procedures for archaeological chance finds will be followed during
implementation.
It shall also be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the supervisor of the Cultural resources
Management Office of the Department of Antiquities of antiquities are encountered in any era during
construction, and Clause" V of the General Conditions of contract must be closely observed and also
specifications set in articles 15 of the antiquities law No. 21. (1988).
60
Although the likelihood of finding any artefacts is low, as per the law above, MoLA, CVBD, the
municipality and MSSRP is required to be aware that if an item of archaeological significance is
discovered they are required to notify the DoA. And it shall be their responsibility to ensure that the
contractor, in case of Chance Find, shall stop all works and notify DoA.
The Contractor shall seek the written approval of the DoA before the removal of any chance find
building, foundation, structure, fence and other obstruction over 50 years old, any portion of which is
close to the site. All designated salvageable material shall be removed, without causing unnecessary
damage, and in sections or pieces, which may be readily transported, and shall be started by the
contractor at approved locations, for later use or possession of the department of Antiquities
If any site found during construction and is damaged by construction activities, the Department of
Antiquities will assess the discovered remains and may carry out an emergency salvage excavation.
Salvage excavation means archaeological excavation conducted during construction phase. It should be
conducted only when an archaeological site is found by accident (chance find) during construction.
Given the short time available for a salvage excavation, this type of work should be avoided.
The available short time for salvage excavations cannot be considered an authorization to destroy the
discovered remains or site. Since each site must be given proper consideration and analysis before its
destruction can be authorized.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to follow the above-mentioned procedure as required by the
Jordanian laws and integrate it with the procedure highlighted in Annex 5.
Please see Annex 5 - MSSRP Chance Find Procedure
5.6 Impact on Traffic

The MSSRP is currently developing “The Traffic and Road Safety Guidelines” which will be implemented
for all the MSSRP sub-projects.
This Guidelines will cover all Road and traffic and pedestrian safety risks, traffic and pedestrian safety
features in the project design, pedestrian crosswalks, traffic lights recommended for accessing the site
safety.
During construction:
Increased traffic loads (machinery, equipment, labor…) are expected, which will cause inconvenience for
the drivers and the residents of the households along the road.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to address the following mitigation measures:
 The Contractor shall submit prior to the start of any work a traffic management plan for the
PMU approval. The traffic plan shall include all necessary measures to keep pedestrians and
vehicles away from each other and from the location of work signs and equipment in order to
reduce the risks of accidents. Upon the approval of the traffic plan, the Contractor shall abide by
the measures of the plan which also should include:
61
o Monitor and investigate complaints and propose appropriate mitigation measures.

o Trucks and involved vehicles should follow specific & identified truck ways.
o Designate a traffic officer and flagman to warn of dangerous conditions (if required for
24 hours/day).
o Protect all sites and open excavations with barriers and signs to protect pedestrians and
to prevent vehicles damaging the work or falling into excavations.
o The contractor shall comply with all applicable laws regarding road safety and transport.
o Report all traffic incidents and accidents to the Engineer.
During operation phase:
The project provides parking lots for incoming visitors. The traffic and pedestrian safety risks, traffic and
pedestrian crosswalks, safety features and traffic lights are considered in the project design. The
operator (Owner) is responsible to review and monitor the traffic during the operation phase of the
project and he is responsible of conducting the appropriate measures to ensure the avoidance or
minimizing any adverse impact on traffic during the operation.
62
CHAPTER 6 - ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

(ESMP)
6.1 Introduction
The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) addresses the identified environmental and
social impacts of the proposed project. The ESMP suggest mitigation measures to prevent, reduce or
correct the negative impacts of project related activities, and enhance the positive effects of it. It also
includes the actions and measures to implement the suggested mitigation measures.
The ESMP shall be fully integrated in the construction contractor’s obligations to ensure the fulfillment
of environmental and social requirements. Monitoring measures are proposed to ensure the
implementation of the proposed mitigation measures and compliance with the applicable laws and
regulations. Moreover, the ESMP assigns the responsibilities and roles of the concerned parties for
implementing the measures proposed in the ESMP.
All mitigation measures included in the ESMP will be integrated in the MSSRP bidding documents of this
sub-project in addition to the Environmental, Health and Safety, and social mitigation measures
described in the Supplementary Particular Conditions of the Contract (PCC) (Annex 4 which was
prepared by ILO for the IF subprojects).
6.2 Objectives
The ESMP for the project has been prepared to prevent or minimize as much as possible the negative
impacts and enhance the positive ones during the project phases.
The main objectives of ESMP are as follows:
 To ensure compliance with relevant regulatory authorities as well as legislations.

 To undertake a monitoring program to assess the effectiveness of the proposed mitigation
measures in the ESMP and undertake the necessary changes in the mitigation measures or
construction activities.
 Provide a framework for the contractor who will carry out the construction works of the project
to set the necessary procedures, plans and instructions to manage the environmental and social
impacts.
 To provide main training required for all the project staff.
6.3 Implementation of the ESMP

International Labor Organization (ILO)
The main objective of ILO is to provide support to MSSRP by assess, monitor and increase the labour-
intensity of its capital investments, the Technical Assistance that shall be provided by ILO is as following:
The development objective of the proposed ILO Project is “to help Jordanian municipalities address the
service delivery impacts of the Syrian refugee influx and support investments that generate jobs and
improve social and economic conditions of host communities” (which is consistent with the
development objective of the MSSR).
The immediate objective of the proposed ILO Project is “to support and build capacity in MSSRP and its
implementing agencies (Ministry of Local Administration) to assess, monitor and increase the labour-
intensity of its capital investments”
The outputs of the proposed ILO support will contribute to the overall MSSRP objectives whilst also
contributing to Decent Work Country programme (DWCP) objectives
The outputs and activities of the proposed ILO project are set out below:

Environmental and Social Monitoring Firm
The main Role of Environmental and Social Monitoring NGO is to Monitor of social and environmental
measures for the MSSRP's sub-projects in accordance with the reference standards, prepared E&S
instruments and contractual requirements in addition to design and implement an environmental and
social capacity building plan for the Ministry of Local Administration
Participating Municipalities (Al-Wastyyeh Municipality):
The participating municipalities are responsible for the identification and delivery of priority
infrastructure and services to be financed through the Project, in close collaboration with the
beneficiary communities. This involves
● The identification of priority needs, the costing of alternative programs affordable within the
financial envelope allocated through the Project, an arbitrage amongst the various alternatives,
and the final consolidation of the priority list of eligible expenses;
● Formulation of local economic development plans, working with governorate level LDUs;
● Detailed programing of technical requirements, procurement of works, good, and services

according to the current regulatory thresholds; and
● Management of activities, including consultation with the communities and work supervision.
● Once the construction is finished and the project is handed to the municipality, the operation
phase starts. The municipality is the owner of the sub-project and will be in charge of managing
and maintaining it in a sustainable manner. Operation and maintenance costs are normally
covered by the municipality.
The municipalities are supported by the CVDB on the Project’s screening criteria and applying them
systematically. On the other hand, CVDB undertakes a review (both of the identified first 10% of priority
sub-set of projects and as a mechanism for all subsequent demand-driven investments) to ensure that
there is an accurate and unequivocal response to the preceding questions. Provision to conduct such
social screening is included in the Project’s Operational Manual with clear TORs for any required
consultant services. In addition, the project team (PMU) conduct spot checks on prospective or actual
sub-project sites to ensure quality.

5.1.1 Monitoring Plan during Construction Phase
Tables 6-8 to 6-13, summarize the monitoring plan that shall be implemented during the construction
phase to ensure that the contractor performs and adheres to all environmental and social mitigation
measures and requirements.
During construction, the contractor is required to conduct monitoring against contractual requirements,
and the ESMP, on a continuous basis, sufficient to confirm adherence to those requirements. The
contractor must report on E&S compliance through regular construction progress reports.
There are a number of entities that conduct supervision during construction.
The PMU and Municipal Engineers provide overall construction oversight of the project and have
responsibility for approving Contractor’s environmental, health and safety and social monitoring plans.
They and have presence on the site on a regular and on-going basis.
The Environmental and Social Monitoring NGO and PMU E&S specialists conduct spot checks of
Contractor compliance on E&S mitigation measures according to an agreed frequency established at the
start of works. ILO also conducts monitoring of labor-intensive works and decent work requirements in
the contracts.
The supervision methods and frequencies in the table may be shared by one or more of these oversight
entities.
All E&S non-compliances identified, are reported to the PMU, and addressed through written
instructions to the Municipality who issues corrective actions to the Contractor.

6.5 Budget
As it can be seen from the ESMP matrix, the nature of most of the suggested mitigation measures do
not require significant budget allocations. However, for the mitigations that require construction and
investment allocations, exact cost will be calculated by the contractor; as it is very hard to identify
cost at this stage.
In the case of Kufr Asad park project, the municipality have committed to build the suggested wall or
Iron fence on the perimeter of the park on its own expense as shown in Annex 6
Please see Annex 6 - Al-Wastyyeh Municipality Commitment Letter to Build the Iron Fence
6.6 Incident Reporting and Investigation

The contractor shall establish an incident reporting and investigation system and shall be developed
before starting the construction works. The system shall include proper reporting procedure and
investigation. This system will help in evaluating all incidents occurred with their causes to reduce
the occurrence of such incidents in future. The contractor shall immediately notify the PMU of any
incident, which occurs in connection with the execution of the works whether to personnel directly
employed by the contractor, or to a third party. Such notification may initially be verbal, but shall be
followed by a written report within 24 hours of any incident. Following any such incidents, the
contractor shall provide the PMU with a report detailing the cause of the incident and the corrective
action taken to prevent a reoccurrence.
6.7 Plans Required to be Developed by the Contractor

The contractor must develop the following plans prior to the commencement of work, in which the
developed plans must be approved by the PMU
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) plan

 Traffic Management Plan
 Waste Management Plan
 Emergency Management Plan (EMP)
 chance find procedure

CHAPTER 7 - STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT & INFORMATION
DISCLOSURE
To institutionalize the stakeholder engagement processes within the participating municipalities
functions and responsibilities, the MSSRP has developed a Stakeholder Engagement Framework- SEF
(“Stakeholder Engagement Framework- SEF Municipal Grants Cycle 1&2 and Innovation Fund” and
disclosed at municipality web page on Facebook as well as the MSSRP Facebook page). The SEF
guides community consultations, outreach, and all other stakeholder engagement processes under
the MSSRP. Stakeholder engagement plays a critical role in all Project activities, including Municipal
Grants (Cycles 1 and 2) and the Innovation Fund (IF). The municipality followed the guidance
provided in the SEF to conduct and organize stakeholder consultation sessions on environmental and
social aspects related to this project.
Stakeholder engagement was carried out over several consultation activities that include
consultation sessions and field survey as per the following:
 Initial Consultation
 Field Survey
 Final Consultation
7.1 Initial consultation

The main purpose of this consultation activity was to engage local community and relevant
stakeholder in project selection process, the consultation process was conducted by using online
tools due to the status of COVID-19 as described below
Phase 1 – Potential Projects Identification
The first phase includes the identification of activities of urgent needs, by consulting local
communities, were each participated municipality have approached its local community using an
online questionnaire to discuss projects and activities of importance to enhance provided municipal
services.
To ensure good level of participation from the residents of Al-Wastyyeh, several awareness tools
were adopted, that include social media platforms, Municipal Billboard, municipality’s website, and
Dissemination of information and results through the relevant authorities in communicating with
their beneficiary groups.
During this phase 285 eligible participants (Above the age of 18 and lives in Al- Wastyyeh) shared
their feedback through the online tool, among of these participants 60 was Syrian, 139 was women,
133 youth and 17 persons with disabilities. This process was resulted in identifying five potential sub-
projects as per the following:
 Construction and rehabilitation of public gardens and parks

 Rehabilitation, maintenance, and opening of roads and streets
 Income-generating projects such as (touristic restaurant / sewing workshop)
 Asphalt mixtures
 Local market and local product stalls
Please See Annex 7 – Orientation Session Report
104
Phase 2 – Project Selection
The second phase involves the selection of the most important sub-project from the identified sub-
projects in the first phase, the selection process was done by electronic voting tool, were 354
participants from Al-Wastyyeh community voted for Construction and rehabilitation of public
gardens and parks, the distribution of participants was as follows:
 59 Syrians
 156 Women
 136 Youth
 24 Person with disabilities
7.2 Field Survey

Considering the rural nature of project area, there is a very limited number of stakeholders who
might be affected by the project, therefore the consultation with local community was carried out by
applying a survey tool to identify the community level of awareness about the project, their
perspective about the project, and if they have any concerns that should be takin into account while
preparing the ESMP study.
Design and development of the survey
The survey was developed in direct coordination with the PMU in order to measure the following:
 People knowledge about the project

 The level of communication between the municipality and the stakeholders
 Identify the main concerns about the project
 Level of acceptance for the project
Please see Annex 8 – Survey Template
Conducting the survey
The survey was conducted on 12 October 2022, in which the study team have visited the project site
and start interviewing surrounding stakeholders.
Survey Results
However only 36.4% of surveyed people indicated that the municipality have not communicated
with them about the project, 72.7% of them were aware of the project, as per their none of the
interviewed persons were opposing the project, in which 81.8 shows acceptance toward the project
and the remaining 18.2% was neutral about it.
The Concerns of Surveyed Sample
There was a very limited concerns raised from the surveyed persons which can be summarized by
the park might become a gathering of youth which might cause some noise and comfortlessness for
park visitors and neighboring houses, and this concern was addressed in the section 5.3.3
105
7.2.1 Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)
Impact Assessment
Grievance is an important issue for the citizen’s where they can express their objections of the
Municipality’s actions or decisions. In order to draw the attention of officials to the problem of the
services provided to them by this authority
Mitigation Measures
MSSRP has established a basic operational GRM across all the 28 participating municipalities (PMs)
and at the central level in CVDB, were the project receives complaints, grievances, queries, and
suggestions. There are GRM Focal Points (FPs) in all PMs who follow up on complaints processing
and handling. The system provides several avenues for stakeholders to lodge their complaints and
concerns related to the project including phone, email, walk-in, written complaints, social media
(Facebook, municipal websites, etc.), etc. Municipalities document and track the complaints received
through the “complaints log” and a copy of this log is shared with CVDB on monthly basis. The PMU
also established its own “hotline” at the central level which is managed by MoLA and assigned to the
Head of the PMU and is available during working hours (between 8 am till 3 pm). The project also
developed a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Action Plan to prevent or minimize the events of SEA/SH
within all activities funded under the project.
The Project Management Unit (PMU) in MoLA and CVDB continues to monitor the GRM function
through field visits to municipalities by the PMU engineers and the Communication and Outreach
Specialist is making sure that all sub-projects adhere to the WB Environmental and Social Safeguards
Policies and Involuntary Resettlement Policies.
The GRM is also applicable to all contractors and consultants contracted by the project who are also
required to maintain a grievance registry or record complaints received during their assignment.

The existing channels at the central level are:
● All existing channels of the Ministry of Local Development- MOLA (phone: 064641393,
complaints box, fax: 064640404, staff emails, webpage: www.mola.gov.jo, etc.)
● Hotline managed by the PMU (06-5650264)
● Email: jmssrp@yahoo.com
● PMU staff including field engineers
● GBV Hotline (+962 777 387 221)
107
The existing uptake channels existing at the municipalities’ level include:
● Municipality main phone number (+962 6 402 1006)
● Complaints and suggestions box managed by the Diwan (secretariat of the municipality)
● Walk-ins to the municipality premises and received by the Diwan of the municipality
● Written complaints documented in the project’s complaints log
● Social media: Facebook (including Messenger), municipal web pages, WhatsApp groups,
advertisement websites (https://www.facebook.com/alwastiamanicipality/?locale=ar_AR)
● GRM Focal Point at Wastyyeh Municipality who documents written complaints in the
project’s complaints log (the phone number for the Focal Point of Hofa is:(0799305302)
● Municipal engineers
● Complaints received through contractors
● Community meetings with Mayor
The community is made aware of the relevant GRM contact numbers and contact person in PMs
through municipal offices and notice boards, municipal social media accounts, project signage at the
construction sites, and the MSSRP webpage (https://www.facebook.com/mssrpjordan).
Additionally, all contractors are required to provide and install project signage at the project location
including the basic information of the project. Most importantly, the project signage will also state
the phone number of the GRM Focal Point at the municipality and the established hotline for SEA/SH
related complaints.
Sorting and Processing
The municipal engineer on site and/or Contractor is the first level of GRM which offers the fastest
and most accessible mechanism for the resolution of grievances. The GRM Focal Points at the
municipality are the key officer for receiving and handling complaints and grievances. Grievances are
being documented in the municipal complaints’ logs with the following elements: complainant name
(unless anonymity is requested), contact address, date of the complaint, uptake channel, description
of the grievance, procedures taken to resolve the complaints, timeframe of the resolution,
description of the resolution, and name of the person who received the complaint. Should the
grievance remain unresolved it is escalated to the central PMU (or the Grievance Redress
Committee-GRC established at the project level depending on the nature of the complaint). The
PMU will conduct the same steps in documenting the complaint and review the grievance details
and possible ways of resolving it.
Verify, Investigate, and Act
The GRM focal points at the PMs (and the GRM focal point at the PMU in some instances)
investigate the complaints received from external stakeholders against the project’s related
interventions. The FPs gather the necessary information and data related to the received grievances
and contact and meet with all the relevant parties to the complaints to gather information and
supporting details that will help in reaching an acceptable resolution. Investigation of grievances also
involves site visits and consultations with relevant parties (e.g., affected persons, contractors,
witnesses, etc.).
108
Provide Response to the Complainant
Once the resolution is identified and agreed upon, the FP documents the resolution in the
complaints log and provides a copy of the log with all received complaints and their status to the
PMU on monthly basis. Complainants who submitted their complaints through the different uptake
channels are usually informed of the resolution of their complaints by phone through the GRM FPs
or he is requested to come to the municipality.
Escalation Process
The central PMU serves as the first level of escalation in case the grievances couldn’t be handled at
the PMs level. In case the complainant is not satisfied with the resolution, the FP transfers the
complaint to the GRM Focal Point at the PMU, alternatively, the complainant can call the project’s
hotline (assigned to the Head of the PMU). If complainants are not satisfied with the proposed
resolution by the PMU they have the possibility to escalate their complaints to the project’s level
escalation committee which is in this case the Project’s Steering Committee. Sensitive complaints
(involving safeguards issues or GBV go directly to the GRC for the moment). Once all possible means
to resolve the complaint have been proposed and if the complainant is still not satisfied then he/she
has the right to resort to law.
Gender- Based Violence (GBV) Complaints
Previously, complaints channels are for the moment serving to receive GBV and SEA/SH (Sexual
Exploitation and Abuse or Sexual Harassment) related complaints, however it is worth mentioning
that the PMU has assigned a third party with hotline to handle SEA/SH cases, which will be available
for all project staff, in which all complaints will be handled in secrecy and transparency.
109
CHAPTER 8 - CAPACITY BULIDING
A comprehensive capacity building program for Partner Municipalities will be implemented by the
PMU safeguards Team during June-August 2023. The program will include twelve (12) interactive
training sessions together with on job training, training material are currently being prepared by the
MSSRP Safeguards Team.

Introduction
1. The Development objective of the Municipal Services and Social Resilience Project (MSSRP) is to
Support Jordanian municipalities affected by the influx of Syrian refugees in delivering services
and employment opportunities for Jordanians and Syrians. Therefore, the Ministry of Local
Administration (MOLA) signed an agreement with the International Labour Organization (ILO)
to provide the technical support to assess, monitor and increase the labour-intensity in the
MSSRP capital investments through applying Employment Intensive Approaches (EIA) at the
project’s interventions.
2. The application of Employment Intensive Approaches in the MSSRP requires an enabling

environment through developing appropriate guidelines and contractual conditions to facilitate
the application of these concepts by the implementing partners. The ILO developed these
Supplementary Particular Conditions to be applied by the project’s partners in the MSSRP
interventions and other Municipal projects to optimize employment generation and improve
working conditions in construction sector in Jordan.
3. These Particular Conditions include Environmental, Social, Health and Safety Safeguard
requirements that are applicable to the MSSRP, and are additional to any other information
such as Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMP – Annex 1) or Environmental and

clean the air.
8) Encourage flushing of toilets with the lid down.
In the light of the global pandemic COVID-19, the Contractor shall be responsible
for the health and safety of the site and workers as following:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), tools and behaviour:

Employment-intensive works necessitate the use of a range of hand tools and
safety gear. These tools and equipment can be hazardous when not properly used,
and thus ordinary OSH measures should always apply. In the current
On-site
circumstances with the spread of COVID-19, sanitation measures should be added
working to the use of tools and equipment. The Contractor should also consider the

to pre-procure prevention equipment, such as soap, surgical masks, tissues, and
19
hand sanitizers to be stored at the office.
All workers (not only individuals who develop symptoms) should be instructed to
use their elbow to cover their mouth when sneezing and coughing, which is an
effective prevention not only against COVID-19 but also for other diseases. For
those who have a symptom of runny nose, they should be advised to use tissue
paper to blow their nose and these should be discarded immediately in the
provided disposal bins. Frequently touching their nose, eyes and mouth directly
135

Annex 5 - MSSRP Chance Find Procedure
Chance Find Procedures
Contracts for civil works involving excavations should normally incorporate procedures for dealing with
situations in which buried physical cultural resources (PCR) are unexpectedly encountered. The final
form of these procedures will depend upon the local regulatory environment, including any chance find
procedures already incorporated in legislation dealing with antiquities or archaeology. For MSSRP,
chance finds procedures contain the following elements:
1. PCR Definition
In some cases the chance finds procedure is confined to archaeological finds; more commonly it covers
all types of PCR. In the absence of any other definition from the local cultural authorities, the following
definition could be used: “movable or immovable objects, sites, structures or groups of structures
having archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural
significance”.
2. Ownership
The identity of the owner of the artifacts found should be ascertained if at all possible. Depending on
the circumstances, the owner could typically be, for example, the state, the government, a religious
institution, the land owner, or could be left for later determination by the concerned authorities.
3. Recognition
As noted above, in PCR-sensitive areas, recognition and confirmation of the specific PCR may require the
contractor to be accompanied by a specialist. A clause on chance finds should be included in every
contractor’s specifications.
4. Procedure upon Discovery
Suspension of WorkIf a PCR comes to light during the execution of the works, the contractor shall stop
the works. Depending on the magnitude of the PCR, the contractor should check with MOMA for advice
on whether all works should be stopped, or only the works immediately involved in the discovery, or, in
some cases where large buried structures may be expected, all works may be stopped within a specified
distance (for example, 50meters) of the discovery. MOMA‟s decision should be informed by a qualified
archaeologist. After stopping work, the contractor must immediately report the discovery to the
Resident Engineer. The contractor may not be entitled to claim compensation for work suspension
during this period. The Resident Engineer may be entitled to suspend work and to request from the
contractor some excavations at the contractor’s expense if he thinks that a discovery was made and not
reported.
Demarcation of the Discovery Site
With the approval of the Resident Engineer, the contractor is then required to temporarily demarcate,
and limit access to, the site.
Non-Suspension of Work
148
The procedure may empower the Resident Engineer to decide whether the PCR can be removed and for
the work to continue, for example in cases where the find is one coin.
Chance Find Report
The contractor should then, at the request of the Resident Engineer, and within a specified time period,
make a Chance Find Report, recording:
· Date and time of discovery;
· Location of the discovery;
· Description of the PCR;
· Estimated weight and dimensions of the PCR;
· Temporary protection implemented.
The Chance Find Report should be submitted to the Resident Engineer, and other concerned parties as
agreed with the cultural authority, and in accordance with national legislation. The Resident Engineer, or
other party as agreed, is required to inform the cultural authority accordingly.
Arrival and Actions of Cultural Authority
The cultural authority undertakes to ensure that a representative will arrive at the discovery site within
an agreed time such as 24 hours, and determine the action to be taken. Such actions may include, but
not be limited to:
· Removal of PCR deemed to be of significance;
· Execution of further excavation within a specified distance of the discovery point;
· Extension or reduction of the area demarcated by the contractor.
