BAN: Secondary Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project
Resettlement Framework
The Bangladesh Secondary Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project will improve water supply and sanitation services by implementing water supply infrastructure improvements and strengthening local water utilities for operational efficiency and financial sustainability. The water supply component will develop and expand piped water supply systems, and provide shared standpipes and shared safe water points. The sanitation and behavioral change component is designed to extend the health impacts of project investments in water supply—promoting hygiene behavior and creating an enabling environment for preventing water-borne diseases through capacity building. It will include community and public sanitation facilities, school sanitation and hygiene education, and awareness and capacity building in hygiene education and sanitation. Capacity building and implementation assistance will also be provided for the executing agency--the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE), and secondary towns.
To ensure compliance with the Government and ADB’s policy and requirements on involuntary resettlement, a draft resettlement framework to guide the implementation of sub-projects has been formulated by DPHE. DPHE prepared draft resettlement plans (RPs) for the four sample sub-projects following the Government’s Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance of 1982 (ARIPO amended in 1993 and 1994), ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995), and the resettlement framework for the Project.
