Chhattisgarh Irrigation Development Project
India
The overall project goal is to improve rural livelihoods and reduce rural poverty through improved irrigation service delivery, enhanced agricultural practices, and strengthened water resources management to increase the productivity of irrigated agriculture in Chhattisgarh.
The Summary Resettlement Framework and Indigenous Peoples Development Framework provides details on the Social Development Unit (SDU) to be established by the Water Resource Department (WRD) in order to address resettlement and indigenous peoples activities. The SDU will be responsible for policy guidance, coordination and planning, internal monitoring, and overall reporting for resettlement, indigenous peoples, social assessment, economic evaluation, and environment.
The Summary Poverty Reduction and Social Strategy indicates that the Project will not adversely affect any tribal group or require preparation of a separate indigenous peoples development plan (IPDP). However, if any tribal group is affected in the later stage of project implementation, an IPDP will be prepared in accordance with ADB's Policy on Indigenous Peoples. An indigenous peoples development framework has been prepared for this Project. During project implementation, the SDU, will determine if a subproject requires an IPDP.
