| Indigenous Peoples | B |
| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | The environment safeguard category is B. Initial environmental examinations and an environmental assessment review framework have been prepared. Climate resilience measures are integrated into the project. Environmental impacts are related to siting, design, construction, and operation; and mitigation measures are part of the environment management plans (EMPs). EMPs have been prepared for solid waste management, sewerage, drainage, and the wastewater treatment plants, and these form part of the bidding and contract documents. Potential adverse impacts during construction are expected to be temporary and will be mitigated through the EMPs, which have been updated to include COVID-19 mitigation measures. The project includes budget and institutional arrangements for EMP implementation and monitoring. The IEE/EMPs are updated on completion of DED for each package. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | The safeguard category for involuntary resettlement is B in accordance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). An estimated 33.8Ha of land (16 + 6.6 + 10.7 = 33.3 Ha [public] and 5,525 m2 [private]) will be (or has been) acquired for the project. 48 affected households (AHs) with 233 Affected Persons (APs) have been identified in the participating municipalities, with no affected HH from the network laying activities, where potential impacts can be mitigated during construction. 22 AHs (111 APs) are in Kampong Chhnang Municipality, and 26 AHs (122 APs) in Pursat Municipality. There are 18 significantly affected households (90 APs) in Kampong Chhnang; One AH (7 APs) will be severely affected by acquisition of private agricultural land equal to 10% or more of their total productive land, 13 AH (74 APs) by loss of land use and 7 AH (25 APs) by loss of residential land (some AH experiencing more than one type of loss). Two (2) AHs will be severely affected in Pursat due to loss of agricultural land/permanent loss of land use equivalent to 10% or more of their total productive assets. The RPs have been prepared in accordance with Royal Government of Cambodia laws and regulations and ADB's SPS (2009). |
| Indigenous Peoples | The indigenous peoples safeguard category is B. Ethnic Cham and Vietnamese were identified and meaningfully consulted in Kampong Chhnang villages. They live alongside the Khmer majority and are well integrated the larger community. Design features are included to ensure the ethnic Cham and Vietnamese are beneficiaries and are meaningfully consulted. Output 3 (community mobilization and environmental improvements) identifies villages where ethnic Cham and Vietnamese are a majority of beneficiaries. |
| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | A consultation and participation plan for the project has been developed in accordance with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) guidelines. The plans includes a stakeholder analysis, a record of consultations conducted during project preparation, and a consultation and participation plan. The project also includes a dedicated output (Output 3: Community mobilization and environmental improvements) that has been designed to be community-driven and participatory, focusing on household sanitation improvement for identified poor households, climate change and hygiene awareness and action, and small-scale infrastructure improvements for pre-identified vulnerable groups. |
| During Project Implementation | Consultations are ongoing with various stakeholders, as required. For output 2, the focus is on community-driven improvements, implementation has commenced and includes latrines and emergency flood relief packages, following the Pursat floods of 2020 (this was output 3 in the original DMF). |
| Business Opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Consulting Services | All consultants will be recruited according to ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time). |
| Procurement | All procurement of goods and works will be undertaken in accordance with ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2015, as amended from time to time). International competitive bidding procedures will be used for civil works contracts estimated to cost $3 million or more, and supply contracts valued at $1 million or higher. Shopping will be used for contracts for procurement of works and equipment worth less than $100,000. In cases where NCB will be used, the first NCB contract will be reviewed and approved by ADB. All succeeding contracts will be post review. |
