| During Project Design | The projects prepared under the TA are under advanced stages of procurement, including (i) 500-kV line from Sheberghan to Dashte Alwan, (ii) 220-kV line from Sheberghan to Andkhoy -- both contracts will be awarded in October 2017. The third package comprising Back to Back Convertor Station (500-MW) at Dashte Alwan is ready for issuance of bidding documents, with contract award expected in mid 2018. Stakeholders were being consulted during the project preparation. PPTA Consultant undertook comprehensive analysis and stakeholders consultations (in accordance with ADB's Social Safeguard Policy) to factor in all land acquisition, resettlement and environmental considerations into projects design. |
| During Project Implementation | Consultation and information sharing with local communities has been made. Necessary social safeguards and environmental analyses was undertaken and will be updated once the design work is initiated for sub-projects. Relevant documentation will be approved by ADB before contractor could be mobilized to undertake construction activities at project sites. Collaboration with stakeholders is promoted to ensure compliance with national standards as well as ADB's Safeguard Policy 2009. |
