Multi-sector Project for Infrastructure Rehabilitation in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)
India
The Project targets the rehabilitation of essential infrastructure in J&K. Water supply and drainage system improvement will raise the quality of life of the urban populations in Srinagar and Jammu. The Project also targets capacity building of the Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA) which will lead to better planning, improved policy formulation and the introduction of more reliable project implementation skills, systems and criteria.
The Summary Poverty Reduction and Social Strategy notes a small presence of a scheduled tribe group comprising of Ban Gujjars in the sample road subproject districts of Anantnag and Budgam. The scheduled tribe population is largely assimilated with the non-IP population and the Project will not have any impacts on their socioeconomic conditions or lead to any disruption in their community life or culture. The improved road network will improve this tribal community's access to services along with other sections of the subproject population.
The State Government and ERA will ensure that during preparation of each subproject, the relevant project implementation unit (PIU) will undertake a review of the impacts, if any, of the subproject on indigenous peoples, and if any impacts on indigenous peoples are identified, the PIU will prepare an Indigenous People's Development Plan in accordance with ADB's Policy on Indigenous Peoples and the Indigenous Peoples Development Framework.
