Buffer Zone: Area adjoining the technical boundary of a project likely to experience direct or indirect project impacts. Business Operator: Any person who conducts a business within the project-affected area, the operation of which may be lost or disrupted by the construction work under the project. S/he can be a legal owner, non-titled structure owner, or tenant and will receive different compensation and R&R packages as per the Entitlement Matrix (EM). Bus Operator: A government agency, a private company or a private individual, operating buses in specified routes as a public service and or as a profit making activity. Census: Complete enumeration based on a household questionnaire that covers all affected persons, irrespective of ownership and entitlement, and their assets. It can be used to minimize fraudulent claims made by people who move into the project affected area in the hope of being compensated or resettled. Compensation: Payment in cash or in kind for an asset or a resource that is acquired or affected by a project, at the time the asset needs to be replaced. Cut-off date: The Cut-off date for eligibility for entitlement is the date of notification under the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) and/or the date of the start of the censuses. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off-date are not entitled to claim compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. The cut-off date was publicly announced as detailed in the RAP. Encroacher: Someone who has illegally expanded or extended the outer limit of his/her private premises beyond the approved building line or agricultural land and has occupied public space beyond his/her plot or agricultural land. Entitlement: A variety of measures comprising compensation, income restoration, transfer assistance, income substitution, relocation and other benefits which are due to affected people, depending on the nature of their losses. The entitlements are expected to improve or at least restore the economic and social base of APs to pre-project levels. Entitlement Assessment Committee (EAC): A separate body established for SCDP to determine compensation for non-land based economic displacements. The role and responsibility of the EAC is different from the institutional mechanism of Chief valuer of the valuation departmet that is the legitimate body for determining compensation for persons affected by land acquisitions under Land Acqusition Act of 1950, and the LARC and Super LARC that has been empowered under the Land Acquisition Regulations of 2013 to determine ex-gratia payments to persons dissatisfied with the statutory compensation determined by the Chief Valuer. The functions of iii Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT the EAC is incorporated into its RPF approved by the World Bank in January 2016 and the Cabinet of Ministers in August 1, 2017. Entitlement Verificaiton Committee (EVC): Entitlement Verification Committee (EVC) comprising staff members of SCDP has a dual role. The first role is to give advance notice to APs to prepare their documentary evidence in support of their claims, before they appear for EAC inquiries, and to assist the APs to obtain any missing documents from relevant authorities such as KMC or SLR. The second role is to assist the EAC by presenting a set of vetted documents, so that on one hand, the time that EAC spends on document verification can be reduced while on the other hand, possible rejection of documents submitted by APs can be minimized. The role of EVC is thus expected to accelerate the process of payment of compensation to APs. Ex-gratia payment: Additional compensation amounting to the difference between statutory compensation and replacement cost or the provisions to pay compensation for losses and impacts not covered by regulatory framework. Female-headed Household: A household headed by a female due to circumstances such as loss of husband, separation, divorce or migration.

Indigenous People: “Indigenous Peoples” is used in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics in varying degrees: (a) self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this identity by others; (b) collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories; (c) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and (d) use of an indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region. The only historically known indigenous people in Sri Lanka called Veddas (‘forest dwellers’) are recognized as citizens of the country under the Citizens Act 1948, enjoy all rights and privileges enshrined in the Constitution of Sri Lanka, and have guaranteed equal access to justice through the constitutional provisions. Social Assessments confirmed that there are no IP communities live in the area selected for KMTT. Involuntary Resettlement: Resettlement is involuntary when it occurs without the consent of the displaced persons or if they give their consent without having the power to refuse resettlement.

For losses that cannot be easily valued or compensated, attempts are made to establish access to equivalent and culturally appropriate resources and earning opportunities. As per the World Bank’s guidelines as well as this RAP, the rate of compensation for lost assets should be calculated at full replacement cost. Resettlement: A process to assist the displaced people and communities to replace their lost land, houses, assets and restore access to assets and services, and improve their socioeconomic and cultural conditions. It includes settlement of displaced people on buildable land or houses/ apartments in the same locality with barrier-free access to basic amenities.

Executive Summary Project Description i. Kandy Multi-Model Transport Terminal (KMTT) will be established in the site of the current Good Shed Bus Stand (GSBS) as an integrated modern transport terminal linking bus services and railway services as well as bus services provided by the public sector and private sector as complementary public transport services. Further, in the end the new transport terminal will contribute towards the goal of relieving traffic congestion in the World-Heritage City of Kandy situated in central Sri Lanka by relocating the dispersed and poorly coordinated services provided by three separate bus stands in Kandy (GSBS, Clock Tower and Torrington) and an idle bus parking facility in Bogamabara in a centralized multistoried structure specially designed for the purpose. It will result in improved coordination and efficient management of all public transport services under a new management system to be installed in KMTT for the purpose of orderly restructuring of all public transport operations in Kandy in ways that reduce traffic congestion, waiting time of commuters, enhance the quality of services provided to commuters and eventually the use of public transport by 300,000 or more people moving into and out of Kandy for work, education, pilgrimage, tourism and securing health and other services on a daily basis. The estimated project cost at 2018 prices is US $ 61 million. The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development through Strategic Cities Development Programme (SCDP). After reviewing two alternative sites for the project located in the northern and southern borders of Kandy city, GSBS was selected as the project site because of its proximity to the city center and availability of a sufficient quanitity of crown land currently held mostly by transport authorities such as SLR and SLTB and that can be accessed by the project.

The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared for this project was guided by World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12), Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of SCDP and the national policies and regulations of Government of Sri Lanka, including the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP). The RAP details the project related impacts and provides an entitlement matrix that includes cash compensation and other R&R assistance for persons affected by the project. The preparation of RAP was preceded by due diligence conducted for the proposed KMTT. The social impact assessment (SIA) conducted as part of due diligence was based on preliminary engineering design of October 2017. The SIA included inventorizing the project impact area, a census of all project affected persons, and preparation of an inventory of losses (IOL) for all APs. Consultations were also conducted at different levels with relevant project stakeholders including the affected persons in order to share project related information, to elicit their inputs for the resettlement plan and to ensure their participation in the preparation of the RAP. Project related adverse impacts observed during due diligence were informed to the technical design teams and were addressed by bringing appropriate modifications to the project design to minimize the resettlement impacts. iii. This draft RAP will be updated following the preparation of the detailed final engineering design by updating the social impact assessment including the census of affected persons, the inventory of losses and finalizing the resettlement action plan that will be submitted to World xiv Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Bank for concurrence prior to the commencement of the project construction work and for public disclosure. The draft RAP cleared by the Bank as well as the final RAP will be disclosed in the project’s website (hppt.www.scdp.lk) and World Bank’s external website. Overall Project Impacts iv. The construction of KMTT will take place from end 2018 to 2021. During the construction period, bus services currently operating from GSBS will be shifted to Bogamabara, Clock Tower and Torrington in order to allow construction work in KMTT. In order to prepare Bogambara as a temporary bus terminal, the idle bus parking facility currently housed in Bogamabara will be shifted to several other locations in Kandy. Further, bus services will be rescheduled in a way that the need for idle bus parking in Kandy will be reduced by optimizing the number of trips by each bus and diverting idle bus parking wherever possible to terminals outside of Kandy city limits. The proposed transitional arrangements during the period of construction of KMMT have been carefully designed and piloted in consultation with SLTB, CPRPTA and other affected parties in order to mitigate their adverse impacts and minimize inconveniences to the public during the period of construction of the new transport terminal. For this purpose, a social impact assessment and mitigation plan (SIAMP) was prepared by SCDP and approved by the World Bank in June 16, 2018. v. In this RAP, transitional arrangements are viewed as an inherent component of the larger action plan that deals with the impact of KMTT in all project sites, including the core site of KMTT and all the transitional sites as well. Furthermore, SCDP ensures that current bus operations at GSBS will not be shifted to any of the above mentioned transitional sites until full compensation is paid to all affected parties, primarily the vendor population engaged in a variety of commercial business activities, as their business activities are heavily dependent on commuter population. vi. From the perspective of private land acquisition, the social impacts of KMTT will be minimal for the proposed development work of KMTT but substantial in terms of loss of livelihoods among various types of economic operators currently functioning in GSBS and temporary physical displacement of some of the railway workers whose residential quarters and resting places will be affected by project-related construction work. The total land requirement for KMTT will be 3.6742 hectares. Out of this land requirement, 3.6552 ha or 99.5% will be secured from various government agencies, with land held by SLR, SLTB and RDA accounting for over 99% of all land earmarked for KMTT. Two private land holders will lose a total of 0.0189 ha to KMTT and they will be compensated for these losses on the basis of replacement cost as stipulated in this RAP, the RPF for SCDP and GoSL’s regulations. vii. The project will affect a total of 820 economic operators currently operating in GSBS or its immediate buffer zone. The total household population among these economic operators is 3,688 as established through the census of APs conducted as part of the SIA related to KMTT. The project related economic damages include both permanent and temporary loss of livelihoods due to permanent demolition of all commercial and other structures located inside the technical boundary (ITB) of GSBS and temporary access difficulties and loss of their client base during the construction of KMTT that will be experienced by many of the commercial establishments in immediate buffer zone (IBZ). The largest number of APs are shop assistants working in GSBS or nearby shops (245), followed by rentiers who draw rent incomes from the xv Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT business establishments in ITB or IBZ (192), business operators (161), mobile vendors (150) and three wheel operators serving bus commuters (65). Of these various categories of APs, shop assistants and mobile vendors may be considered as particularly vulnerable because they possess limited assets, limited reserves and limited skills that could be applied for the purpose of livelihood restoration. On the other hand, with varied property rights some categories of rentiers are particularly vulnerable because of their age, chronic illnesses, disability or economic inactivity. Description of the APs and the Nature of Losses viii. For the purposes of assessing the entitlements, the APs who are economic operators in GSBS and transitional sites are further subdivided into 18 subcategories on the basis of their location (whether inside technical boundary (ITB), in the immediate buffer zone (IBZ) or transitional sites (TS) and nature and extent of property rights. Table 1 summarizes the relevant information. Table 1: KMTT project affected economic operators by category SN AP Category ITB IBZ TS Total Business Operators in their Own Premises 1 KMC leaseholder business operators 7 - - 7 2 SLR leaseholder business operators 4 1 - 5 3 Idakada business operators 15 - - 15 4 Titleholder business operators - 7 - 7 Sub-total 26 8 34 Tenant Business Operators 5 Tenant business operators of KMC leaseholders 87 - - 87 6 Tenant business operators of SLR Leaseholders 2 - - 2 7 Tenant business operators of Idakada occupants 18 - - 18 8 Tenant business operators of titleholders - 20 - 20 Sub-total 107 20 127 Rentiers of Business Premises 9 KMC leaseholder (kadalabin) Rentiers 137 - - 137 10 SLR leaseholder rentiers 1 - - 1 11 Idakada occupant rentiers 43 - - 43 12 Titleholder rentiers - 11 - 11 Sub-total 181 11 - 192 Others 13 Mobile Vendors 150 - - 150 14 Shop Assistants 132 113 - 245 15 Three-wheel operators 65 - - 65 16 Titleholder landowners 2 - - 2 Sub-total 349 113 - 462 Operators of Public Utilities and their Employees 17 Leaseholders of public utilities 1 - 2 3 18 Employees of leaseholders of public utilities - - 2 2 Sub-total 1 - 4 5 TOTAL 664 152 4 820 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 xvi Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT ix. Of the economically active population in GSBS, 94 (11.5%) are women as against 726 men (88.5%). The mean age of APs is 53 years with 16% of all APs above 60 years of age. A total of 61% of all APs have completed 10 years or more schooling with mobile vendors and rentiers with significantly lower educational achievements compared to other groups. All ethnic groups are present among APs, with a disproportionate presence of Muslims among tenant business operators (39.3%) and to lesser extent among shop assistants (nearly 30%). The leading business operation in GSBS is sale and servicing of mobile phones, followed by fruits and eating places. Those with incomes below poverty line comprise 7% of all APs, with highest incidence of poverty reported by rentiers, followed by mobile vendors and shop assistants. Intersectionality of poverty, gender, old age and disability was reported among rentiers and mobile vendors in particular. x. As for location, those inside technical boundary (ITB) will permanently lose all their physical assets and livelihoods connected with GSBS due to the implementation of the project. Those in the immediate buffer zone (IBZ) will experience access difficulties and loss of customer base during the construction phase but with appropriate changes in business operations they can recover and even economically gain from the new transport terminal once it is established and started to function. There are only a few economic operators who will be affected by changes introduced in the transitional sites and they are all operators of public utilities who will be compensated for the losses incurred and possible relocation in similar public utilities. The entitlement matrix identifies and enumerates the losses of each category of AP depending on their location and the resulting entitlements applicable to each category. xi. In terms of title to property and assets, business operators operating in their own venues or rented venues and rentiers (those who have rented their business premises to others for operation) are subdivided on the basis of their property rights and nature of assets. In the case of business operators in their own venues, KMC leaseholders (all in ITB), SLR leaseholders (mostly in ITB, but one in IBZ) , idakada operators (all in ITB) and title holders (all in IBZ), are the relevant subcategories. Of these subcategories, title holders who are located in IBZ, will experience temporary disruption of their business activities and will be compensated for the loss of their business incomes or the option of receiving a compensation package to relocate their business enterprises during construction period. On the other hand, all KMC and SLR leaseholders and all idakada operators with varied rights to their current business venues will lose their assets and livelihoods completely and will be compensated for the relocation of their businesses together with cash grants for the restoration of their livelihoods. As will be elaborated in this RAP, the nature of the building constructions, floor areas and income levels of these different operators vary, and different packages of compensation will be provided to each subcategory in the entitlement matrix (EM) included in the RAP. Corresponding differences among rentiers and operators of rented premises have been recognized in preparing compensation packages and livelihood support for them as part of EM. xii. Of the other categories of APs, mobile vendors and shop assistants will permanently lose their current livelihoods even though they will not experience any losses of physical assets. Depending on their willingness, mobile vendors will have an opportunity to move to suitable transitional sites and SCDP will facilitate this relocation process in coordination with other key stakeholders of the project. In the case of three-wheel operators, temporary impacts on their xvii Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT livelihoods is expected, but there are plans to reabsorb them into KMTT once it starts functioning and a three-wheel taxi stand will be established for serving bus and railway commuters. The operators of public utilities in GSBS and transitional sites and their employees will experience permanent loss of their livelihoods and be compensated accordingly. In developing compensation packages and livelihood support as part of this resettlement action plan, compensation packages and livelihood development framework have been carefully worked out taking into consideration the losses, need for ensuring replacement costs for assets lost and distinctions made among different categories and subcategories of APs in regard to their capabilities and needs in respect of livelihood restoration. xiii. Apart from economic operators in project sites, another group of affected persons under KMTT is railway workers who will be physically displaced temporarily due to project-related constructions in railway premises. The total number of railway workers directly affected by the project in terms of physical displacement will be 52 (affected total household population being 92) due to loss of their residential quarters or resting places for new constructions under KMTT. In consultation with SLR, the project will provide alternative resting places for affected railways workers during the period of construction of the relevant facilities and provide improved resting places and improved alternative residential quarters to be established within the railway premises as part of project intervention in line with the expectations of the railway authorities and APs. xiv. Subsets of rentiers, shop assistants and mobile vendors with a poverty incidence of 38%, 33% and 21% respectively represent the vulnerable categories of APs. Judging by income levels certain categories of female APs, such as all female business operators in ITB draw significantly lower incomes (mean monthly income of SLR 35,100) compared to their male counterparts (mean monthly income of SLR 83,210) while the pattern is reversed in the case of business operators in IBZ where monthly incomes of females is more than twice that of males (See Table 25). Similarly, while female operator incomes tend to be higher relative to their male counterparts among idakada operators, among mobile vendors female incomes (mean=25,350) are substantially lower relative to their male counterparts (mean=44,310), also due to them being confined to less remunerative operations such as betel quid sale. Intersectionality of old age, poverty, chronic illness and disability was evident in the case of rentiers and mobile vendors in particular. The strategies for addressing vulnerability in the current RAP include a special vulnerability allowance for relevant categories of APs and special attention paid to restoring their livelihood restoration in the livelihood development plan. Institutional and Regulatory Mechanisms xv. The land acquisition, determination of entitlements of APs, planning for resettlement of people affected by KMTT and restoration of their livelihoods will be guided by GOSL‘s Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No.9 of 1950 as amended in 2008 and 2013 regulations, National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001, the World Bank’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy OP 4.12 and the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of SCDP. The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) provides for compensation for land, structures and crops affected by acquisition. However, it does not address certain resettlement issues, including possible resettlement assistance for non-titleholders, mobile vendors and shop workers. On the other hand, the National Involuntary xviii Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001 has provisions for addressing resettlement and rehabilitation issues including payment of compensation at replacement cost. Measures for mitigating the social impacts of the project will also be in accordance with the RPF prepared under SCDP, World Bank’s OP 4.12, including in areas where there are gaps and discrepancies between the existing policies and legal provisions of GoSL’s and World Bank’s regulations. Where economic displacement other than that resulting from land acquisition is concerned, an Entitlement Assessment Committee (EAC) established in SCDP under the provisions of RPF will assess the entitlements of the APs paving the way for compensation at replacement cost. The EAC will be guided by the provisions in the EM of the RAP in the process of determining the compensation due to individual APs. xvi. In keeping with the available legal provisions of the Sri Lankan state as well as the RPF prepared under the project, SCDP will raise awareness among APs about their rights, establish a process of consultation with APs in all stages of the project, offer a compensation package to APs commensurate with losses incurred, and will place emphasis on the cost of replacing the existing assets and livelihoods by relocating the same enterprises elsewhere or starting new enterprises in line with the aspirations and realistic plans of APs. However, the SCDP will not encourage the replication of the current situation in GSBS in KMTT or elsewhere (particularly, proliferation of informal vendors and mis-management of services and business infrastructure) or simply provide an unviable business venue elsewhere in the city as demonstrated by incomplete utilization of many stalls established by various agencies in Kandy city itself. Given the magnitude of the anticipated impacts on the livelihoods and incomes of the affected population, SCDP will seek to avoid any form of impoverishment on the part of affected persons or a breakdown of their closely knitted economic and social support systems and networks. Entitlements for APs xvii. December 7, 2017 was declared and announced as the cut-off date for entitlement assessment purposes. As evident in the Entitlement Matrix (Table 35), the project identifies a total of 24 entitlement categories, inclusive of 18 categories of economic operators active in project sites as of the cut-off date as specified in Table 1 and six other entitlement categories, including cross cutting vulnerable categories such as disabled or elderly who will be entitled for additional compensation over and above their due compensation because of economic displacement, railway workers physically displaced temporarily during the construction of KMTT, and an unspecified category earmarked for any further affected parties to be identified through the entitlement assessment process.1 The EM carefully works out the losses of each category of APs, applicable compensation packages and livelihood assistance. 1 . We maintain a conceptual distinction between AP categories and entitlement categories. AP categories were concrete categories of economically affected persons identified through a mapping and census process and who will experience an economic displacement (permanent or temporary) due to the project impact. Entitlement categories are those logically derived from an assessment of diverse entitlements, with the same person sometimes entitled for more than one category of entitlement. For instance, a mobile vendor can be entitled for compensation for economic losses he experiences as a mobile vendor due to project-related economic displacement as well as additional entitlements earmarked for persons below poverty line provided in order to safeguard her/him against the cumulative impact of economic displacement and impoverishment. In other words, while AP categories are by definition discreet categories, entitlement categories are sometimes cross cutting, with the same person sometimes appearing in more than one entitlement category. Moreover, the entitlement categories include those affected by xix Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT xviii. The entitlement matrix (EM) is based on the principle of compensating for loss of income up to six months for all categories of economic operators experiencing a loss of income, compensation at replacement cost for two blocks of private land to be acquired for the project, compensation for permanent relocation at the rate of replacement cost in the case of all categories of business operators in ITB and temporary relocation in the case of relevant businesses in IBZ, livelihood restoration grant for relevant categories of economic operators, incentive payment for handing over properties before the stipulated deadline and an ex-gratia payment determined at EAC for any other losses not covered under previous categories. Rehabilitation and livelihood restoration assistance provided for in the EM includes capacity building, networking and technical assistance geared to maintain existing businesses or existing employment or enter new enterprises or new employment. xix. The entitlement matrix also provides for payment of a special vulnerable allowance for those below the official poverty line, elderly, disabled and chronically ill to be determined at EAC on the basis of severity of vulnerability and to be granted over and above the other compensations covering the corresponding economic losses in order to ensure that their vulnerability is not increased due to project-related impacts. As for livelihood development for vulnerable persons, viable home-based income earning activities where both women and other family members can work together to earn a decent income, will be identified and developed. Similarly, family support and supportive social networks, including community-based support services will be identified and strengthened using the services of social service officers and other government and non-government workers, wherever possible. Consultations and Information Disclosure xx. The SCDP began a process of consultation with all categories of APs with effect from November 2017. The initial activities involved person to person visits for information sharing and trust building purposes prior to census taking. Those with specific queries were encouraged to visit the information cell established within walking distance from GSBS and a record of the information sought, and project responses was maintained from the inception. Subsequently the social team in the project conducted a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with small groups of APs identified on the basis of type of economic activity, gender and vulnerability profiles and shared interests within each category of AP. The FGDs introduced SCDP and shared project details including design characteristics, and explored their views, opinions and concerns and their livelihood options and plans. A total of 22 FGDs were conducted with the participation of 192 APs consisting of 167 males and 25 females. They included business operators of different categories such as idakada occupants, rentiers, shop assistants and mobile vendors. xxi. As part of the larger consultation process, the project team also conducted key informant interviews with leaders of trader associations and relevant officials in key partners of the project such as KMC and CPRPTA. These one-to-one meetings sought to identify relevant concerns, views and suggestions of potential partner organizations with a view to securing their participation in project development including preparation of RAP. Many APs and key informants project impacts other than economic displacement such as railway workers whose livelihoods will not be affected by the project but who will be physically relocated and resettled under the project. xx Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT identified traffic congestion as a serious problem affecting the city and began to see KMTT as a useful intervention from the angle of strengthening public transport services. Information disclosures in the FGDs included project design, implementation schedule, data collection procedures, proposed formula for verification of information and assessment of losses and proposed transitional arrangements. Specific questions raised by FGD participants varied according to the type of participants. Questions relating to expected date of clearing the premises, volume and date of compensation, whether they will be provided with replacement shops or alternative business opportunities in KMTT or elsewhere and rival claims of different categories of APs (e.g. rentiers vs tenant business operators) surfaced during the FGDs and were addressed by the social team of SCDP in consultation with the project administration. xxii. Some of the concerns expressed by APs were conveyed to the technical teams in follow up meetings. After several negotiations the technical experts introduced certain design changes in response to public concerns. One such change was the modification of Mada Ela diversion to minimize access disturbances during the construction period and to avoid possible impact on existing buildings in close proximity to KMTT. Developing an alternative access road to residents in Samagi Mawatha passing through GSBS is another possible outcome currently being considered. Livelihood Restoration Plan xxiii. The livelihood restoration plan (LRP) developed for the APs seeks to realize sustainable livelihoods and incomes for all categories of persons affected by KMTT. Its specific objectives include: (i) ensuring that the income levels of all affected APs are improved, or at least, the current levels are sustained after their displacement; (ii) providing special assistance to the most vulnerable groups among APs to recover their economic losses and to restore their livelihoods and incomes; and (iii) providing capacity building training and other business development support services to improve both the scale and the quality of business operations, including venturing into new business opportunities. An organization with suitable experience in livelihood development will be invited to partner with the project for livelihood restoration activities. xxiv. The strategic directions of the LRP include phasing out for some APs, relocation and reemployment for others and potential positive transformation for all categories of APs. A set of specific activities has been identified for the purpose of facilitating APs transition along these various strategic directions. For instance, for those who are phasing out from the current activities like mobile vending, possible home-based livelihoods will be identified and supported. Similarly, those who seek reemployment will be given opportunities to enhance skills while also taking into consideration emerging enterprises in Kandy such as tourism. Those who seek to relocate their businesses elsewhere, will be assisted in their efforts through networking, information sharing and market linkages. Business transformation aims at enabling operators displaced from GSBS to identify and consolidate new ventures so that they take full advantage of new entrepreneurial opportunities available and move to the next level of entrepreneurship and business diversification. xxi Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Grievance Redress Mechanism xxv. SCDP will establish a project-based grievance redress mechanism (GRM) which is easily accessible to the aggrieved parties, transparent and accountable in grievance handling and responding both effectively and efficiently to the grievances reported by the affected parties. Following the experience with previous projects, SCDP will establish a four-tier GRM, consisting of a dedicated social development officer responsible for grievance handling at the project site level, Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) operating at the project level, a grievance response mechanism led by the SCDP Project Direct at the SCDP level and an Independent Grievance Panel (IGP) operating at the national level. The GRM will function throughout the life cycle of the project implementation. xxvi. The project will disseminate information and awareness about the GRM established using a variety of media such as brochures, leaflets and posters printed in Sinhala and Tamil and the electronic media. The roles and functions of the GRM and its different tiers, specific locations where the different tires are established, grievance reporting procedures, time frames for grievance resolution at each level, etc., will be disseminated to the affected persons as well as the general public using the specified modes of communication. Furthermore, the project will provide orientation and training to the members of the GRM on effective grievance handling procedures. Implementation, Monitoring and Budget xxvii. The institutional framework for implementing the proposed RAP will consist of the Project Director and the Deputy Project Director (social) at the PMU level and the DPD and a dedicated social unit headed by a resettlement manager based in Kandy PIU (see Figure 7). They will be jointly responsible for implementation of RAP in ways that maximize its benefits to APs with a special attention on more vulnerable among them including women, those with incomes below official poverty line, persons living with disabilities or chronic ailments and elderly persons unable to take on alternative livelihoods. Community participation in administration of RAP will be sought through a Stakeholder Advisory Committee to be consulted by the relevant officials. xxviii. The total resettlement budget for KMTT is SLRs 1,255.56 million which is equivalent to USD 7.847 million (at the current exchange rate of 1 US $ = SLRs 160). The project implementing agency will administer the necessary funds through its PMU to cover the land acquisition, resettlement and livelihood restoration and RAP implementation costs. xxix. RAP will be finalized through a process of public disclosure and consultations. The resettlement-related activities, including land acquisition, assessment of losses, payment of compensation and other assistance, and redress of grievances arising from these activities will be completed prior to the commencement of civil works. SCDP undertakes the responsibility of ensuring that no shifting of bus services to transitional sites from GSBS will occur or otherwise trigger activities causing displacement of APs until full compensation is paid to APs at replacement cost in the GSBS. The processes initiated in the resettlement phase such as livelihood restoration measures, consultations, grievance redress and monitoring will continue until the completion of the construction work of KMTT or beyond. The resettlement of the SLR xxii Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT staff in their new staff quarters will take place in the middle of the implementation phase whereas the resettlement of the three-wheel operators in their new parking premises and the potential business operators in the commercial units to be established within KMTT will extend to the operation phase of KMTT. However, during the transition period (i.e., from the time of clearing of the GSBS site for civil works and until the new staff quarters and three-wheel parking spaces are built), railway staff will be provided with transitional housing of the same or better quality, and temporary parking sites will be arranged for three-wheel operators within KMC limits where there is a demand for their services. xxx. The implementation of RAP will be monitored by the Project Management Unit (PMU) through a tracking mechanism that will utilize a range of measures such as income loss or income gain, diversification and restoration of livelihoods and AP satisfaction with compensation packages, alternative venues of accommodation and assistance received for livelihood restoration. The implementation of RAP will be monitored both internally and externally. The PMU will internally monitor the implementation of RAP using a set of verifiable indicators measuring process, outputs, outcomes and impacts of RAP implementation. External monitoring will track safeguard compliance in all stages of project implementation. xxiii Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT CHAPTER ONE 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Introduction 1. The ‘Strategic Cities Development Project (SCDP)’ under the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development (MM&WD) in Sri Lanka aims at improving the livability of cities via strategically important priority investments in infrastructure and services contributing towards more efficient and sustainable use of public urban spaces and, in the end, desired urban transformations. The project targets two main categories of strategic investments, namely (i) integrated service delivery – with system-wide basic urban services improvement thereby enhancing the functional aspects of the city; and (ii) integrated urban planning – with catalytic urban upgrading efforts to enhance the attractiveness and livability of the cities. Improving the functions and the livability of cities is envisaged to boost the economic competitiveness of these strategic cities and bring about economic growth. The areas where the project is being implemented comprise three City Regions outside of the Colombo Metropolitan Region, namely the Kandy City Region, Galle City Region, and Jaffna City Region. Furthermore, the project provides implementation support and technical assistance to municipalities with the objective of increasing their technical capacity to plan and implement their own infrastructure projects. The total project cost amounting to USD 192.08 million is co-financed by the GOSL with USD 45.08 million and the World Bank Group (Project ID: P130548) with IDA credit facility of USD 147 million. The project implementation period is from 2014 to2021. 2. The planned interventions for Kandy City Region will support priority infrastructure investments in this world heritage city to improve its connectivity, facilitate economic growth, attract investments and promote livability in the Kandy city and its surrounding areas. Overall, the project will contribute to urban service improvement and public urban space enhancements of Kandy City Region. The specific interventions consist of (i) traffic improvements, such as the rehabilitation of selected by-pass roads, and establishment and improvements of selected public transport facilities and traffic management measures; (ii) augmentation and rehabilitation of Kandy municipal water supply system; (iii) rehabilitation of major drains; (iv) urban upgrading, including the enhancement of selected streetscapes and public spaces, restoration and adaptive reuse of historic and landmark buildings, and (v) development of an integrated master plan for Kandy city. 3. The subprojects under implementation for the improvement of traffic management and transport in Kandy include the rehabilitation of 14.35km long Katugastota-Madwala-Digana Road, a bypass connecting A9 road from Kandy to Jaffna and A26 road from Kandy to Mahiyangana, and the rehabilitation of 3.4 km long bypass road, Darmashoka Mawatha and Katugastota-Buwalikada Road. The drainage improvement component of SCDP in Kandy includes the rehabilitation of the Heelpankandura and Rajapihilla Canals feeding into the Kandy Lake in order to improve its drainage and to prevent flash floods in canal banks; the rehabilitation of a number of silt traps linked to Kandy Lake for the prevention of soil erosion and siltation of the Lake; rehabilitation of Kandy storm water tunnel network and rehabilitation and improvement 1 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT of Meda Ela (canal) to improve its drainage capacity and water conveyance, while preventing solid waste disposal to the canal and its pollution leading to seasonal flooding. The Project interventions to augment and rehabilitate the Kandy municipal water supply system consist of the rehabilitation of Dunumadalawa water treatment plant, and the construction of three other water reservoirs. The urban spaces improvement component comprises the rehabilitation of Arthur’s Seat Viewing Deck in Rajapihilla Mawatha serving visitors to Kandy, including tourists; construction of a Pilgrims Rest in Tomlin Park and the construction of a commercial hub and recreational and cultural facilities on the rooftop of the Kandy municipal car park; rehabilitation of the George E de Silva park, and the improvement of the walkway around Kandy Lake. 1.2 Background to Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal 4. The ‘Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT)’ is one of the major initiatives undertaken by SCDP under its transport improvement and traffic management component. KMTT is designed with the main objectives of improving the overall public transport system, inclusive of public sector and private sector bus services and railway operations, facilitating optimum use of public transport side by side with efficient traffic management and reducing traffic congestion within the Kandy City Region. KMTT will be a strategic investment in terms of (a) bringing three dispersed bus terminals in Kandy under one roof, (b) coordinating and integrating Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) and privately operated bus transport services and government-operated railway transport services for the first time in Sri Lanka and (c) encouraging a shift from the use of privatized transport (such as cars, motorcycles and three wheelers), which adds to traffic congestion in the city, to public transport (buses and trains) wherever possible. KMTT is perceived as a pioneering effort to improve public transport services by creating a modern public transport hub in the central city of Kandy which, in turn, will eventually produce a series of positive chain reactions in the public transport system in the country as a whole. The estimated project cost at 2018 prices is US $ 61 million. The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development. The construction of KMTT is scheduled to commence in December 2018 and to be completed in September 2021. 5. Apart from relieving traffic congestion and improving the quality of public transport with effect from the terminal end, the sub-project will contribute towards improvement of the tourist industry in Kandy, improving its connectivity and establishing it as an important modern landmark in this historic city in conformity with its rich cultural heritage in terms of its architectural features and, at the same time, modernization and technological advancement through the newly established Kandy City Centre and various other infrastructural developments currently in progress. 1.3 Project justification 6. Kandy city is a major transport hub in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. The Temple of the Tooth featuring the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha and other historic monuments such as the scenic Kandy Lake dating back to the pre-British Kandyan kingdom are major attractions for tourists and pilgrims alike. Kandy was declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1988. Situated in a plateau surrounded by hills, the historic Kandy city is a major cultural centre in Sri 2 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Lanka. Annual “Asala” festival conducted by the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy attracts visitors from all over Sri Lanka and beyond. In addition to its resident population, a large number of commuters visit Kandy daily for work or transactions in various government and commercial establishments, to attend schools, hospitals, court complex or other services or pass through the city to other destinations in Sri Lanka. According to the last population census conducted in 2012, resident population within the Kandy municipal limits is 125,351. The commuter surveys conducted under SCDP estimated that a total of 320,000-350,000 commuters visit Kandy or pass through the city on an average working day. The available public transport facilities for this commuter population are inadequate, of poor quality, uncoordinated and poorly serviced and managed. KMTT is the first initiative of its kind to address the seemingly intractable problems of public transport in this historical city. 7. Traffic congestion has emerged as a major source of public inconvenience, a cause of traffic accidents and a major obstacle for development of Kandy as a metropolitan centre. Bus services (an estimated 10,000 bus trips per day) and train services remain important means of public transport in Kandy. The estimated share of commuter trips by bus services and train services is 64% and 2% respectively, with train services recording a significant reduction of public use in recent years. The fleet of private vehicles coming to Kandy includes cars, vans, trucks, three wheelers and motorcycles. An estimated 1,000 school vans bringing staff and students of over 25 schools located in Kandy Municipal Council (KMC) limits and some 25 tourist coaches arrive in Kandy on a daily basis further adding to the traffic congestion. The commuter share of buses and trains has declined in the recent years and privatized transport has increased correspondingly in part due to overcrowding, lack of care and courteousness on the part of transport workers, and delays in and deteriorating quality of public transport. The Central Car Park built by KMC with the capacity to park 900 cars has partially addressed the problem of parking since 2007, but overflow of parked vehicles, including school vans, private buses and tourist coaches on the roadsides along the main roads and byroads further add to traffic congestion in Kandy (Benthotage 2006).2 Air pollution caused by traffic congestion has added to the disease burden in the city (Illepruma and Abeyratne 2002).3 Wastage of fuel in slow moving traffic though not quantified may be an important concern as well. The full potential of Kandy as a tourist destination connected with its history, heritage, culture and natural beauty has not been realized as yet in part due to infrastructural problems in the city, including traffic congestion. 8. Against this background, an Integrated Kandy Transport Improvement Program (KTIP) prepared by a team of consultants engaged by SCDP in 2014, identified the need for improved and well managed public transport services as a prerequisite for relieving traffic congestion and facilitating the growth momentum in Kandy (Kumarage 2014).4 The key objectives of the KTIP are as follows: 2 Benthotage S.N. 2006 Beyond City Centre Car Parks: Lessons from Developed Cities.

Ceylon Journal of Science Physical Sciences 9 (1) 54-1 4 Kumarage, A.S. (2014) Kandy Public Transport Improvement Project. Colombo: SCDP. 3 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT a. Retain the public transport share of commuter traffic at least at the current 60% level. b. Upgrade public transport services in Kandy in line with the needs of the commuters and make them user-friendly. c. Integrate private and public bus services and bus and railway services so as to enable commuters to transfer from one to the other as and when necessary. d. Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of public transport delivery by using modern technology, including central ticketing and improved information services. e. Improve the quality of public transport services including terminal facilities. f. Improve overall attractiveness of public transport so as to encourage users of private vehicles to switch to public transport without sacrificing efficiency and convenience. g. Reduce traffic congestion in Kandy as an overall outcome of a series of complementary interventions. 9. KMTT was conceived as a core element of this strategic thinking and as an important step towards streamlining public transport services in Kandy. In keeping with the above strategic objectives, the KMTT is designed to eliminate the spatial dispersion of the three existing bus terminals in Kandy, namely (1) Good Shed, handling 228 bus routes; 2) Clock Tower, handling operations under 50 bus routes; and (3) Torrington, handling public transport services in 14 bus routes, and bringing all existing terminal operations under one roof at the Good Shed area, covering approximately 3.6 ha (9 acres) of land adjacent to the Kandy railway station. Figure 1: Current View of Goodshed Bus Stand 4 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 1.4 Design of the KMTT 10. The key design components of KMTT are as follows: • Construction of the main structure of the Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal with all required services to facilitate the volume of commuters, bus services and transport terminal facilities distributed in three floors interconnected through ramps, elevators and lifts to be established. • Construction of a 150m long skywalk stretching from old Peradeniya Road to William Gopallawa Road and the adjoining Kandy Teaching Hospital for pedestrians to move from these main roads to KMTT and Kandy Railway station and between these two public transport modes. Further, this is also expected to contribute towards preventing or minimizing pedestrian road crossing at busy points inhibiting the flow of traffic. • Construction of a car park, a park for three wheel taxis, fuel stations and other logistic services needed by KMTT. 11. KMTT, to be spread over approximately 3.6 ha of land will consist of three floors and a roof top with a total floor area of 75,500 sq. m. The movement of buses and service vehicles from one floor to the other is facilitated via ramps. The passenger movement in and out of KMTT is facilitated through a skywalk connecting Sirimavo Bandaranayake Mawatha (old Peradeniya Road) and William Goppallawa Mawatha serving as southern corridors of Kandy town and through an underground pedestrian walkaway connected to other access roads including S.W.R.D. Bandaranayake Mawatha. For vertical passenger movement within KMTT lifts, elevators and staircases will be established at optimum locations. The design parameters include provision for 2% increase in the volume of commuters per year over the next 5 years and a corresponding increase in the volume of public transport handled by the facility. 12. As per the preliminary technical design of October 2017, the Rooftop of KMTT with a floor area of 6,654sq.m will be a public area for cultural, entertainment and commercial activities. The Rooftop will be connected to rest of the floors via lifts, elevators and staircases. The second floor including mezzanine floor with an area of 12,251 sq.m will consist of the arrival plaza, ticket counters, waiting area, spaces for operation and management and passenger services. The second floor will be connected to the main roads of Sirimavo Bandaranayake Mawatha and William Goppallawa Mawatha and the railway station through the skywalk. The first floor of 19,657sq.m will be assigned for Touch and Go (T-n-G) Bus bays and Boarding and alighting bays which will be connected to rest of the floors via lifts, elevators, staircases and ramps. The ground floor with an area of 31,798 sq.m also provides for Touch and Go Bus bays and boarding and alighting bays, service areas, and waiting area for bus crews. There are underground pedestrian walkways which will provide commuters with access to Sirimavo Bandaranayake Mawatha and William Goppallawa Mawatha. 5 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Figure 2: Architectural Design of KMTT 13.

Both inter and intra provincial route buses will commence their trips from KMTT and shall require regular bay areas for boarding and alighting the passengers. It is anticipated that about 1,419 inter-provincial scheduled bus trips and another 5,473 intra-provincial scheduled bus trips will depart from KMTT with equal numbers of arrivals. Both will pass through KMTT in separate Touch-and-Go (T-n-G) bays. The passenger movements within KMTT are estimated 6 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT at 330,000 persons per day. Nearly 65,000 passengers will terminate their journeys at KMTT and an equal number of passengers will wait inside KMTT terminal area for boarding the long route buses. Furthermore, around 100,000 passengers will alight from T-n-G buses and will dwell briefly around the KMTT complex while an equal number of passengers will wait in this area on the designated platforms to board the T-n-G buses. 15. The KMTT design has provided for 13 T-n-G bays on the ground floor; 32 bays for boarding and alighting with 27 on the first floor and 5 on the ground floor; 94 bays for parking comprising 72 on the first floor and 22 on the ground floor; and one each on the first floor and ground floor for operations and maintenance. 1.5 The Skywalk 16. The skywalk will provide access to KMTT and Kandy Railway Station from Old Peradeniya Road or from William Goppallawa Road and mobility of people between the bus terminal and the railway station. Connected to the Second Floor of KMTT, this will also be an important landmark and viewing point for visitors to Kandy including tourists. This will be a main pedestrian walk extending to the Kandy Teaching Hospital serving as an important destination for patients and those who visit patients warded in the hospital. Like facilities within KMTT this will be made disability friendly by establishing lifts in either-end and creating a wheel chair friendly environment. Possibility of establishing some commercial outlets for the benefit of pedestrians with special needs such as those who visit patients warded in the hospital is currently under investigation. Figure 3: Bird's Eye View of KMTT 1.6 Vehicle parking facilities 17. A car park and a three-wheeler taxi park will be established for the benefit of passengers who will arrive in KMTT or depart from it using these privatized modes of transport. They will 7 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT be established outside the main KMTT building with easy accessibility to and from the arrival and departure areas. 1.7 Transitional arrangements 18. During the construction period of KMTT, which is scheduled to commence in December 2018 and expected to be completed by September 2021, the existing Good Shed terminal will not be accessible for the current bus operations. At present, this site accommodates 228 bus routes and 6,924 daily bus trips which will be interrupted upon its closure. Hence, in order to mitigate the impact of the construction work and the interruptions to the daily activities of the commuters, eight transitional sites have been identified where the existing bus operations at the Good Shed terminal will be temporarily shifted. 19. The eight transitional sites have been identified based on the requirements of the ‘Public Transport Design, Operations Management & Design Plan’ for Kandy. The process involves rerouting of existing bus operations upon closure of the Good Shed terminal and construction of the KMTT. The sites identified are: Bogambara idling bus park, Kandy South Depot premises, existing Torrington and the Clock Tower bus terminals, S.W.R.D Bandaranayke Road, H.P Udurawana Road and the Near Kachcheri Road touch and go bus lane, and the Central Market side road. All these sites are located within 500 m of the Good Shed area making them as easily accessible alternatives to the current users of the Good Shed terminal. Figure 4: Locations of Transitional sites 20. The current idling bus parking facility managed by CPRPTA is operational in the Bagamabara site on a piece of land which belongs to the Ministry of Transport, Central Province. During the transitional period, the area currently used as the idling bus park will be converted to the largest transitional bus terminal. The site is the only CPRPTA site sizable enough for the purpose. Presently, a CPRPTA office, an operations room, an eatery, and a toilet block are located 8 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT within the premises but during construction of the terminal, none of these structures located within the premises, will be affected. However, the toilet block will be upgraded to a better standard as part of the terminal construction. 21. The construction of the transitional sites have been condensed into four packages in order to minimize disruptions to the activities of the public during their implementation. SCDP will be the implementation agency responsible for the construction of these eight sites and it will partner with the Central Province Road Passenger Transport Authority (CPRPTA) for the implementation of the packages 01, 03, 04 and Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) for the implementation of package 02. Construction activities will include the following components depending on the requirements of each site (Also See Table 3): • Remarking of new bus bays in S.W.R.D Bandaranayke Road, H.P Udurawana Road and the Near Kachcheri Road • Establishing touch and go bus operations near the central market of the city • Establishing a new bus terminal by converting the existing Bogambara bus idling park • Revamping existing bus terminal operations in Torrington and the Clock Tower areas to enhance their capacities to accommodate terminal operations upon closure of the Good Shed terminal. • Establishing an idling bus park in the current Kandy South Depot premises • Constructing/renovating passenger shelters • Installing timetable displays and public information/message boards at the various transitional sites. 22. Table 3 gives the details of the packages and the proposed interventions under each.

The construction of the eight sites will take place between June 2018 and June 2019 and will be executed as four packages. The construction of the transitional sites does not involve any involuntary land acquisitions as the land to be utilized for them is exclusively crown land vested with roads and transport authorities of the GOSL. Clearance to establish the transitional bus operating sites have already been obtained by the SCDP from the relevant government agencies. Upon execution of the transitional arrangement, the existing bus operations in the Good Shed terminal will be re-routed to minimize the interruptions to the existing bus transporation services. However, as the current business operations at GSBS are largely dependent on its commuter population, the project will not shift the current bus operations of GSBS to any of the transitional sites until, the implementation of RAP for the GSBS is complete, including the payment of full compensation and other resettlement assistance, and livelihood restoration plans are initiated. A Social Impact Assessment Mitigation Plan (SIAMP) prepared by SCDP for safeguards management of the transitional sites subproject and cleared by the Bank in June 2018 is appended to the Resttlement Action Plan (see Annex 01). 1.8 Alternatives considered 24. Alternative locations for the construction of KMTT were considered by SCDP for the purpose of minimizing resettlement impacts. The optional venues considered included 10 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Gatamabe Playground located in the southern corridor of Kandy and the wholesale market premises in Katugastota located in the northern corridor. However, Gatambe was excluded considering its location near a school and a ritual site used for water cutting ceremony after the completion of the annual Dalada Perehera. Furthermore, this playground being the only such public playground available for sports activities as well as for various functions to the south of Kandy city. The location in Katugastota was ruled out because it is one of the major commercial hubs in Kandy used for wholesale marketing as well as considering the possible flooding in this riverine area and road bottlenecks such as the Katugastota Bridge. Moreover, establishing a transport terminal in either Gatambe or Katugastota sites located 4.2 km and 4.0 km away from Kandy city respectively may require shuttle services to operate between the terminal and the city causing additional hardships and cost to the commuters. 25. In view of the above considerations, the SCDP opted for the GSBS area, as the most suitable location for the KMTT primarily because of its strategic position within Kandy city limits and the non-availability of any other land with required space and convenient access to the commuters. The other reasons for selecting GSBS area is its proximity to the railway station, availability sufficient crown land vested in transport authorities that could be utilized for establishment of KMTT and other locational advantages of GSBS, including proximity to Kandy city centre, to schools, hospitals, government offices and other establishments visited by large numbers of employees and the public. 1.9 Operation and maintenance of KMTT 26. The Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development in consultation with relevant stakeholders will propose the Government of Sri Lanka to establish a separate institutional structure to be responsible for the overall management, operations and coordination of the functions and activities of KMTT. The shareholders of this new institutional structure will comprise the Sri Lanka Transport Board, Central Province Road Passenger Transport Authority, Sri Lanka Railways, Road Development Authority and Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development. The framework and the operational procedures for the establishment of the proposed institutional structure are being worked out by the relevant agencies, the process of which is facilitated and coordinated by SCDP. The new institutional structure will be responsible for managing KMTT as an efficient and viable enterprise catering to the needs of commuters, transport operators and workers. 1.10 Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan 27. Involuntary land acquisitions under KMTT will be minimal, and land acquisitions will not lead to relocation or resettlement of the affected persons due to land takeover. KMTT will be constructed largely on crown land vested in several state agencies. However, the project will cause both permanent and temporary physical and economic displacements of a significant number of persons who are engaged in a variety of business enterprises of different scales and their employees. The project also requires temporary relocation of Sri Lanka Railway staff occupying their official quarters (see Chapter 2). Both physical and economic displacements 11 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT require carefully planned interventions geared towards the successful relocation of their livelihood activities while supporting several others to identify and settle for alternate livelihoods in addition to providing cash compensation at replacement cost and other rehabilitation and restoration (R&R) assistance. 28. There are no indigenous peoples found within the boundaries earmarked for the construction of the KMTT, and positive or adverse impacts on indigenous peoples are not anticipated. 29. The preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) was guided by the Involuntary Resettlement Policy of the World Bank as stipulated in OP 4.12, Resettlement Policy Framework of SCDP, the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP), Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No.9 of 1950 as amended in 1986, Land Acquisition Regulations of 2008 and the Land Acquisition (Payment of Compensation) Regulations of 2013 of the Government of Sri Lanka. The RAP analyses the project related impacts and provides an entitlement matrix that includes cash compensation and other R&R assistance for persons affected by the Project. Overall, the project impacts reflect both permanent and temporary physical and economic displacements, caused by the loss of business premises and structures, regular customer base, access to business premises and residential quarters. 30. The preparation of the RAP was preceded by due diligence conducted for the proposed KMTT. The social impact assessment (SIA) conducted as part of due diligence was based on preliminary engineering designs and maps prepared by SCDP. The SIA included inventorizing the project impact area, a census of all project affected persons, and preparation of an inventory of losses (IOL) for all APs. Consultations were also conducted at different levels with relevant project stakeholders including the affected persons in order to share project related information, to elicit their inputs for the resettlement plan and to ensure their participation in the preparation of the RAP. Project related adverse impacts observed during due diligence were conveyed to the technical design teams that addressed these concerns by making appropriate modifications to the project design to minimize the resettlement impacts. 31. This draft resettlement plan is based on several assumptions and preliminary engineering designs as the detailed and final engineering designs are yet be completed. Therefore, SCDP will be responsible for (i) completing the detailed and final engineering designs; (ii) updating the results of the social impact assessment including the census of affected persons; (iii) updating the inventory of losses; (iv) updating and finalizing the resettlement plan; (v) submitting the final resettlement plan to World Bank for concurrence prior to the commencement of the project construction work; and (vi) public disclosure. 12 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT CHAPTER TWO 2. SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 2.1 Background 32. This chapter examines the social impact of the project in terms of human displacement, land acquisition, economic displacement caused by construction related interventions like demolition of commercial structures, access disturbances and loss of customer base, and specific impacts on vulnerable persons among project affected persons (PAPs). The chapter outlines the methodology used for social impact assessment, the categories of affected persons (APs), the nature and extent of losses experienced by different categories of APs, loss of private and public assets, impact on gender and other vulnerabilities, construction impacts, including those related to transitional arrangements and overall profile of project affected persons and their families. The nature and extent of the losses have been used to inform and guide the efforts to mitigate adverse impacts while also ensuring compliance with WB’s and GoSL’s social safeguards policies and safeguards instruments prepared under SCDP, providing adequate compensation for losses, and developing a viable resettlement and satisfactory livelihood restoration plan. 33. The land earmarked for the construction of the Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT) is largely a crown land vested with a number of government agencies. The earmarked land is currently used for public and private bus operations, which is popularly known as Goods Shed Bus Stand (GSBS). Many business establishments catering to the needs of bus commuters have been established on this land with or without the consent or mediation of government agencies holding the land. In effect, the impacts of KMTT is not so much related to losses caused by acquisition of land but due to livelihood disturbances and economic displacement caused by clearance of the existing business enterprises from the site of KMTT and resulting loss of livelihoods for business operators and their employees, intermediaries between government agencies with land rights or rights over the buildings allocated to these intermediaries for business operations and/or tenants and actual business operators and, finally, persons making a living from mobile trade or three wheel taxi services catering to the commuters. 34. Apart from GSBS, the impact of the project is extended to nearby railway quarters that will be cleared for project-related construction work and 8 transitional sites within one km from GSBS to be deployed and especially prepared for transfer of bus services from GSBS during the period of construction of KMTT. This social impact assessment covers impacts in the core project area (GSBS), nearby railway quarters and 8 transitional sites. 2.2 Methodology of Social Impact Assessment 35. The SIA adopted the following methodological steps. I. Inventorizing the project impact area by mapping all the built structures and activities found within the boundaries of the impact area. The geographical information system (GIS) technology was used for this mapping exercise. During this mapping exercise, the 13 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT project impact area was sub-divided into 12 different zones/census blocks considering the spatial distribution of the built structures and for the convenience of mapping and census taking purposes (See Annex 02 for a sample block) Figure 5: Map of Census Blocks II. A unique number was assigned to all building units identified within each zone, in addition to taking photographs of every unit together with its owner/occupier/shop assistant who was present at the time of taking the inventory (See Annex 2 for a sample of photographs). The inventory prepared for the project impact area included (i) 225 commercial business units, 9 public utilities, and 4 buildings and 3 utilities belonging to transport authorities and Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) located inside the technical boundary (ITB) or construction footprint of KMTT, which will be permanently affected by the project (See Table 5); (ii) 31 built structures in the immediate buffer zone (IBZ) of the ITB, where except for one, rest of the structures would not be damaged by the project but their businesses will be affected during the construction period as they may experience access difficulties and/ or lose their customer base fully or partially; and (iii) 79 built structures in the indirect impact area (IIA), where there will be no damages to the built structures or their livelihoods, but occasional disturbances caused by construction work in nearby areas such as access difficulties during the construction period, noise, vibrations, dust and other indirect social or environmental impacts, may occur; and (iv) 9 buildings containing 52 residential and resting units occupied by 52 staff members together with 45 members of their families and 4 other vacant units belonging to SLR (Table 13) where the staff occupying those quarters and waiting rooms will have to be relocated temporarily due to project-related constructions. 14 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT III. In parallel to the inventorization process, an initial screening exercise was carried out to collect preliminary information on the owners/occupants of the structures, their postal addresses and contact telephone numbers, types of businesses conducted and the workers employed by the individual business units, if any. Project related information was communicated to individual owners/occupiers prior to the commencement of the mapping and screening exercises. A database was created using this preliminary information and it served as an initial guide for administering the census survey among the project-affected persons. IV. A census of all project affected persons was conducted after announcing a cut-off date, the start date of which was 7th December 2017. The census was concluded on 22nd December 2017. The purpose of the census and the cut-off date was communicated to the APs well in advance of the census both verbally and in written form. The written communications included formal letters addressed to individual APs, and posters displayed at strategic locations in GSBS. The census was conducted both during the day and night time as some business operations occurred only during night time. The census covered APs in both ITB and IBZ including: (i) 34 owner/leaseholder business operators; (ii) 127 tenant business operators; (iii) 192 rentiers who had sublet their business premises to others; (iv) 245 shop assistants; (v) 150 mobile vendors; (v) 65 three-wheel taxi operators; (vi) 2 titleholder landowners; and (vii) 5 other persons who operate public utilities leased from KMC or CPRPTA. Accordingly, the total AP population covered in the census was 820. V. The census of APs was complemented by administering a sample survey of 180 commuters such as school children, school teachers, office workers, commercial workers, hospital visitors and tourists to identify and assess the potential impact of the project on commuters, their livelihoods and lifestyle in general and to elicit their suggestions regarding the services they would like to have in the KMTT. VI. A separate social screening exercise was conducted in the eight locations proposed as transitional sites for bus operations during KMTT construction and the results of which are documented separately in the Social Impact Assessment and Mitigation Plan (SAIMP) which was cleared by the World Bank (Annex 01). VII. A series of stakeholder consultations were conducted with the purpose of disclosing and sharing project related information, verifying the information collected in the screening processes and censuses, and eliciting their concerns, suggestions and plans for resettlement (described in chapter 5). Consultations conducted at individual and group levels included the APs as well as the other indirectly affected parties such as bus drivers and conductors using GSBS. Moreover, government institutions associated with GSBS were also consulted through key informant interviews with relevant officials. Focus Group Discussions and Key Informant Interviews constituted the key methodologies adopted for stakeholder consultations. 15 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 2.3 Scope of Land Acquisitions/Requirements for the KMTT 36. The total land requirement for KMTT is estimated at 3.6741ha. Private land to be acquired for the project is 0.0189 ha which constitutes only 0.5% of the total land requirement for the construction of the KMTT. The rest comprises crown land vested in state agencies directly or indirectly responsible for providing public transport services (see below for more details). The total extent of land needed for construction of KMTT and its peripheral services and the sources from which this land is to be secured are presented in Table 4. Table 4: Estimated land requirements for KMTT as of May 31, 2018 Lot No Total Extent (in Ha) Ownership % of Total Extent 1 0.0189 Private 0.5 2 0.9778 SLTB 26.6 3 0.7356 RDA 20.0 4 1.9216 SLR 52.3 5 0.0087 RDA 0.2 6 0.0115 Hospital land 0.3 TOTAL 3.6741 100.0 Source: Land Division of SCDP 37. Thus, 99.5% of the total land requirement for KMTT will be obtained from state agencies many of whom are directly connected with transport services and will serve as project partners, for instance, SLTB, SLR and RDA. The land will be released by the respective project partner agencies for the construction of KMTT, on the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed with the relevant agencies (SLTB, SLR, RDA and Ministry of Health) prior to the commencement of the construction work relating to the project. The Ministry of Megapolis & Western Development and the Ministry of Transport have jointly prepared a cabinet paper in releasing land for the construction of KMTT and is pending approval from cabinet ministers. Over 52% of the required land will come from SLR which will be a key partner in the project. Another project partner, SLTB will provide 26.6% of the total land requirement under an agreement reached with SCDP. 38. As stated earlier, only 0.5% of the total land requirement will be acquired from private parties under land acquisition provisions in Sri Lanka. Specifically, a total land extent of 5.98 perches (0.0189 ha) will be acquired from two private parties (one a commercial establishment and the other a private land) situated along Sirimavo Bandaranayaka Mawatha for the purpose of erecting the sky walk. In consultation with the relevant stakeholders, efforts have been made to minimize the impact of private land acquisitions for KMTT. The compensation for acquired private land will be paid at replacement cost as specified in the RPF of SCDP and the RAP for KMTT. 2.4 Project Impacts on Physical Structures 39. The construction of KMTT will result in full damage to all buildings and various structures within KMTT’s technical boundary (ITB), full damage to several buildings within the railway premises and partial damage to one of the buildings in IBZ. Together these structures include 16 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 225 business units, 9 public utilities (2 toilet blocks and 7 bus stand shelters) and 4 buildings and 3 utilities belonging to transport authorities and Ceylon Petroleum Corporation located within ITB and 1 partially affected commercial building in the IBZ. Most of the structures that would be fully affected are commercial buildings owned by KMC or SLR or held by non-title holder private individuals followed by public utilities in GSBS managed by SLTB, Central Province Road Passenger Transport Authority (CPRPTA) or Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. Furthermore, 9 buildings containing 52 residential and resting units currently occupied by 52 staff members together with 45 members of their families, and 4 other vacant units belonging to SLR will also be fully affected. The project related damages to various categories of buildings are given in Table 5. Table 5: Project impacts on physical structures in GSBS (ITB and IBZ) Type of structure No. Structures/Units Type of ownership/occupancy Type of impact 153 KMC Leaseholders Full Shops 6 SLR Leaseholders Full Semi-permanent stalls 65 KMC sanctioned non-titleholders Full Commercial (Hotel) 1 Private Titleholder Partial Toilet Blocks 2 KMC/ Leaseholder Full Bus stand shelters 7 SLTB Full Fuel pumps 2 SLTB Full Time Keepers’ office 3 CPRPTA Full Fuel pumps 1 Ceylon Petroleum Cooperation Full Stores 1 Ceylon Petroleum Cooperation Full Total 241 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 Note: The total number of commercial structures to be affected by KMTT is 225 while another 28 commercial structures are expected to have access difficulties during construction works only. 2.5 Populations Affected by KMTT 40. The KMTT will have significant resettlement impacts largely on the business population operating within its construction footprint, i.e., the technical boundary (ITB) and its immediate buffer zone (IBZ). Altogether, the project will affect a total population of 820 persons who include 726 men and 94 women. Details of the affected population are presented in Table 6.

The project will affect a total household population of 3,688 distributed among the 820 households (Table 7) with a mean household size of 4.5. The shop assistants and mobile vendors, constituting the largest group affected by the project, constitute 29% and 20% of the total household population respectively. Their household sizes vary from 4.4 to 4.9. The KMC leaseholder rentiers comprise 16% of the population with an average household size of 4.4. The tenant business operators of KMC leaseholders who make up 12% of the affected population, have an average household size of 5 (see Table 7).

A short introduction to different categories of APs is provided in Table 8. Table 8: Introduction to AP categories SN AP Category Description 1 KMC leaseholder A vendor who operates business activities in a KMC-owned business business operator structure that is obtained directly from KMC on a formal agreement (kadalabin) 2 SLR leaseholder A vendor who is operating business activities in a business structure built business operator by him/her on land belonging to SLR or on a structure owned by SLR, and is obtained directly by him/her on a formal agreement. 3 Idakada business A vendor who is operating business activities in a temporary or semi- operator permanent structure erected on an encroached land in GSBS without title or formal agreement with the authorities, but has nevertheless obtained a tacit approval and acknowledgement from KMC in the form of an entry in the KMC’s Idakada lekanaya—a document simply stating that the unspecified extent of space (idakada) was provided to the specified person for engaging in trade on a temporary basis. 4 Titleholder business A vendor who operates business activities in his/her own private operator property and has a title to the land and business structure. 5 Tenant business A vendor who has rented a business structure through a mutual operator of KMC agreement with a KMC’s primary leaseholder and carries out business leaseholder activities therein. The KMC is not involved in this transaction with such a third party which violates the terms and conditions laid out in the original agreement between the KMC and the leaseholder. Thus, for all intentions and purposes, the original leaseholder remains the operating party in KMC records. 6 Tenant business A vendor who has rented a business structure through a mutual operator of SLR agreement with a primary leaseholder from SLR and carries out business leaseholder activities therein. The SLR is not involved in this transaction with such a third party, and for all intentions and purposes, the original leaseholder remains the operating party in official records. 7 Tenant of Idakada A vendor who has rented the temporary or semi-permanent structure occupier from an idakada occupant on the basis of rent payment to the latter. KMC is not involved in this transaction with such a third party and in KMC records, only the name of the original idakada occupant is mentioned. 19 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT SN AP Category Description 8 Tenant of A tenant business operator of a private titleholder who may or may not titleholder have entered into a formal rental agreement with the owner for the purpose of his/her commercial undertaking. 9 KMC leaseholder A leaseholder of a KMC business structure who instead of operating (kadalabin) rentier his/her own business in the said structure, has rented out the business structure to a business operator and thereby earns a rental income. The difference between what the leaseholder pays to KMC and what s/he draws from the business operator as a rent figures as the net income from the lease held with KMC. 10 SLR leaseholder A leaseholder of a business structure built on SLR land or a structure rentier belonging to SLR who instead of operating his/her own business in the said structure/land, has rented out the premise to another operator. The difference between what the leaseholder pays to SLR and what s/he receives from the operating tenant as rent, figures as the net income from the lease held with SLR. 11 Idakada An Idakada occupier (a KMC sanctioned non-titled business holder) who occupier rentier has rented out his/her business premise (land/structures) to another business operator on a rental basis. As the Idakada occupiers do not make any rent payment to KMC, the entire rent s/he receives from the tenant remains as his/her net income from the concerned structure. 12 Titleholder rentier A titleholder of a business property who has rented out his/her property to a business operator on the basis of a written or a verbal agreement. 13 Mobile vendor A vendor who engages in mobile trade in GSBS whether or not registered with KMC or RPTA. A mobile vendor may move from place to place carrying his/her merchandise on head or in a cart or operate from a fixed place along the way to GSBS or inside a bus shelter. Some mobile vendors board buses with their merchandise packed in a tray or basket (tattuwa). 14 Shop assistant A contractual or casual employee employed by a business enterprise located within the GSBS or IBZ. 15 Three-wheel A three-wheel taxi operator working mainly out of the three three-wheel operator parks serving the GSBS. They may be owner operators or hired drivers and may or mot not be registered with RPTA. 16 Titleholder Landowners with secure land tenure who are affected by the project landowners because of acquisition of part of their properties for project purposes 17 Operators of Public Operators of public utilities such as toilets and bus parks who are Utilities engaged on a contractual basis in GSBS and one of the transitional sites 18 Employees in Public Persons employed in such public utilities (e.g., public toilets, bus parks) Utilities who will lose employment due to permanent demolition of the concerned public utilities by the project 2.6 Economic and Livelihood Impacts 43. Of the different categories of APs, the impact on properties and physical assets will be highest among lease holding business operators, tenant business operators and rentiers of business premises in ITB. This is because there be total damage to their structures and physical assets due to the demolition of all physical structures within ITB when construction work begins. As for property-owning business operators, tenant business operators and rentiers in IBZ, their physical structures or assets will not be damaged due to KMTT construction work except in the 20 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT case of one commercial building, but the access disturbances and loss of client base connected with bus services, will result in economic losses for them particularly during the construction period. On the other hand, there is a possibility that their property values will appreciate following the establishment of KMTT because of improved infrastructure and possible new economic opportunities that may open up with the construction of KMTT as a modern transport terminal at their door step. The mobile vendors, employees of business operators and three- wheel operators irrespective of where they operate, will not experience property loss or asset loss due to project interventions but will experience potential loss of income (Annex 03 for inventory of losses). Table 9 summarizes the resettlement impacts on different business operators.

Hence, the total number of business structure to be affected is 253 (which includes 28 commericial structures that will be temporarily affected). 44. In terms of physical structures, the 253 business units that will be affected is made up of 41 business units directly operated by titleholders, leaseholders or non-titleholders, and 212 units operated by third party tenants who make a rent payment to leaseholders or occupants of these premises but do not possess any title nor leasehold on the premises. The recipients of rents from such third-party tenants are identified as rentiers in Table 9. Further, of the total 253 business units in Table 9, 224 will be fully damaged and 1 commercial building, will be partially damaged as listed in the first four rows in Table 5. Also, 28 commercial buildings will be affected by access difficulties but there will not be any structural damage to these buildings and hence are not included in Table 5. 21 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 2.6.1 Titleholder, Leaseholder & Non-titleholder Business Operators 45. The title holder, leaseholder or non-titleholder business operators or shop keepers comprise four sub categories. They are the business operators who run business in (i) structures leased to them by KMC; (ii) structures built by them on land leased from SLR or structures belonging to SLR; (iii) structures built by them in spaces encroached (idakada) in GSBS with sanction from KMC; and (iv) privately owned structures. The census covered a total of 34 business operators consisting of 7 KMC leaseholder business operators in ITB (kadalabiya), 5 SLR leaseholder business operators (4 in ITB and 1 in IBZ), 15 idakada business operators in ITB, and 7 titleholder business operators in IBZ. The males and females among the business operators are 24 and 10 respectively. The 26 business operators in the ITB operate 33 business units whereas those in the IBZ (8) occupy 8 units. Altogether, 34 business operators occupy 41 commercial business units. 46. The project will affect these business operators in terms of loss of their business premises, loss of capital investments made for their businesses and incomes generated therein. As noted earlier, the business operators in ITB and one business operator in IBZ will suffer from the total loss of their business premises. The average floor area of operational shops in ITB occupied by business operators ranged from 47 to 177 sq.ft with a mean floor area of 114 sq. ft. On the contrary, in the IBZ, the floor area spans from 997 to 1,341 sq.ft with a mean floor area of 1,169 sq.ft. The average capital investments that the business operators in ITB made on structures or structural improvements or modifications in the business structure, initial capital for starting business and the value of furniture and equipment are estimated to be in the range of SLRs. 118,853 (743 USD5) to SLRs. 552,125 (3,451 USD) with an average capital investment of SLRs. 357,278 (2,233 USD) per business. On the contrary, investments of business operators in IBZ, majority of whom are titleholder businessmen, ranged from SLRs. 2.5 million (15,625 USD) to 3.4 million (21,250 USD) with an average investment of SLRs. 2.9 million (18,125 USD). 47. Apart from the loss of business premises which had gained commercial value and the capital investments of the concerned business operators in their respective businesses in the ITB over the years, the project will also cause loss of incomes to the business operators. The monthly mean incomes generated by business operators in ITB are estimated to be between SLRs. 66,857 (418 USD) and SLRs. 71,250 (445 USD) with a mean income of SLRs. 69,336 (433 USD). Meanwhile, as evident from IOL, monthly incomes of the business operators in IBZ who will lose their business operations during KMTT construction period vary from SLRs. 35,000 (219 USD) to SLRs. 240,428 (1,503 USD) with a mean income of SLRs. 137,714 (861 USD). The average monthly incomes of male business operators far exceed the incomes of their counterpart females with SLRs. 82,400 (515 USD) and SLRs. 28,350 (177 USD) respectively. In contrast, income generated by a male business operator in IBZ is around SLRs. 148,200 (926 USD) whereas a female operator in the same zone would generate a higher monthly income of SLRs. 253,350 (1,583 USD). 48. The resettlement impacts on the relevant categories of business operators are summarized in Table 10. 5 USD conversion = 1 USD is equal to SLRs 160 in August 2018 22 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 10: Summary of resettlement impacts on business operators KMC SLR SLR Idakada Titleholder leaseholder leaseholder leaseholder business business Resettlement impacts business business business operators operators in operators operators in operators in in ITB IBZ in ITB ITB IBZ Loss of business premises (mean 177 117 997 47 1,341 floor area in sq.ft) Loss of capital investments on structures, structural improvements, 400,857 552,125 3,400,000 118,853 2,475,083 equipment & furniture (mean investment in SLRs.)

The entitlement matrix in the RAP provides for payment of compensation for business operators at replacement cost for relocation of their businesses in a similar or better place, one- time livelihood grant enabling them to restore the existing businesses or initiate new income generating activities, and compensation for loss of incomes during a transitional period. The compensation will also be complemented with incentive payments for early handing over of the business premises, special cash allowances for vulnerable APs, and other ex-gratia payments for any other unforeseen losses such as unsalable remaining stocks, relief for outstanding business loans or higher purchases etc. but not covered in the entitlement matrix as determined by LARC or EAC. The R&R assistance for livelihood restoration will be provided through a special livelihood restoration program. 2.6.2 Tenant Business Operators 50. The majority of the business operators in GSBS comprised the tenants. They represented 127 individuals, with 107 in ITB and 20 in IBZ. Among them, 117 are men and 10 women. Four sub-categories of tenant business operators were identified in the census. They include 87 tenants of KMC leaseholders (kadalabiyas), 2 tenants of SLR leaseholders and 18 tenants of idakada occupiers, all in ITB, and 20 tenants of titleholders in IBZ. The 107 tenants of ITB operated 192 building units with multiple building units forming an average business unit while the 20 in the IBZ occupied 20 building units. 51. Like in the case of business operators who are title holders, lease holders or land occupants, the project will cause loss of business premises, loss of capital investments made on the businesses and incomes of the tenant business operators as well. As noted earlier, the business operators in ITB will suffer from the total loss of their business premises. The average floor area of operational business units occupied by tenant business operators in ITB varied from 31 to 1,030 sq.ft with a mean floor area of 354 sq. ft. The average floor area occupied by tenant business operators in IBZ was 370 sq.ft. On the other hand, capital investments they made on structural improvements or modifications in the business structure, initial capital used for starting their businesses and the value of equipment and furniture purchased extended from 23 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT SLRs. 282,500 (1,766 USD) to SLRs. 865,775 (5,411 USD) with a mean capital investment of SLRs. 500,295 (3,127 USD) per business. 52. The average monthly incomes generated by tenant business operators in ITB are in the range of SLRs. 98,408 (615 USD) to SLRs. 180,000 (1,125 USD) with a mean income of SLRs. 126,538 (791 USD). The average monthly income of tenant business operators in IBZ is SLRs. 139,850 (874 USD). The mean income generated by male and female tenant business operators in the ITB is SLRs. 128,028 (800 USD) and SLRs. 80,438 (503 USD), respectively. With the significant exception of title-holder business operators in IBZ where the mean monthly income of females (SLRs 471,000) is significantly higher compared to their male counterparts (SLRs 148,000), in all other AP categories male incomes are significantly higher compared to their female counterparts (See Table 25). 53. The resettlement impacts on tenant business operators are summarized in Table 11.

The entitlement matrix in the RAP provides for payment of compensation for business operators at replacement cost for the relocation of their businesses in a similar or better place, one-time livelihood grant enabling them to restore the existing businesses or initiate new income generating activities and compensation for loss of incomes during the transitional period. The compensation will also be complemented with incentive payments for early handing over of the business premises, special cash allowances for vulnerable APs, and other ex-gratia payments determined by LARC and EAC taking into consideration what it takes to restore their livelihoods and any costs to be incurred by them beyond what is defined in EM. The R&R assistance for livelihood restoration will be provided through a special livelihood restoration program, as described below. 2.6.3 Rentiers of Business Premises 55. The rentiers who have rented out or sub-let their business premises to others constituted the largest affected population with 192 individuals. Among them, 154 are men and 38 women. The rentiers included four sub-categories, namely (i) 137 KMC leaseholders (kadalabiyas); (ii) 1 24 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT SLR leaseholder; (iii) 43 Idakada non-titleholders who had encroached some demarcated space (idakada) within GSBS and operate with the tacit approval of KMC; and (iv) 11 titleholder businessmen. The first three categories are located in the ITB whereas the fourth category is in the IBZ. 56. Most of the KMC leaseholders, who have sublet their premises to third party tenant business operators, are the formal grantees of KMC shops on a monthly rental basis at some point in the past (since 1994). Their names continue to appear in the KMC register even though the actual tenant business operators in their premises are often the rent payees to KMC in addition to the payment of a stipulated rent to these intermediaries. In an unknown number of instances there have been de facto transfers of the commercial buildings to the actual business operators even though such transfers are prohibited by the contract agreements signed with KMC. The SLR leaseholder is one who had obtained SLR land on long-term lease and built a structure, which he later rented to another party. Some 23% of rentiers are Idakada occupiers, who encroached a small demarcated space in ITB, referred to as idakada (space) in KMC records, and built a temporary or semi-permanent structure in that space and have rented them out to others for some businesses. These non-title holders are not required to pay a rent to KMC so the entire rents they receive from their tenants remain with them. The fourth category of rentiers is titled owners of commercial structures in IBZ who have rented out these premises to business operators who are on site. Though their business structures will not be demolished for KMTT, their tenants will lose the customer base due to access restrictions imposed during construction period of KMTT leading to loss of rental incomes to these titleholders. Thus, the rights and incomes of the title and non-title holders are variable with many of the transactions are of an informal nature and difficult to prove with valid legal documents. 57. The demolition of the business structures as well as access restrictions imposed by the construction contractors will lead to the full loss of business premises, rental incomes, and any capital investments made on the construction and development of the business structures to the rentiers in the ITB and partial losses to those in the IBZ. The total number of business structures which are in possession of the rentier group of kadalabiyas of KMC, SLR leaseholder, idakada non-titleholders and titleholders is 142, 2, 48 and 20 respectively. The floor area of the business structures held by rentiers varies from 22 to 85 sq.ft in the ITB with a mean area of 54 sq.ft whereas the floor area owned by titleholder rentiers in the IBZ is 532 sq.ft. The average capital investments by the rentiers in ITB on structures and their subsequent developments are in the range of SLRs. 82,894 (518 USD) to SLRs. 180,000 (1,125 USD), with a mean investment of SLRs. 125,799 (786 USD). 58. Moreover, the monthly rental incomes received by the rentiers are diverse and range from SLRs. 15,553 (97 USD) to SLRs. 175,045 (1,094 USD) with a mean monthly rental income of SLRs. 59,027 (369 USD). This reflects the average monthly rental incomes of SLRs. 20,354 (127 USD) for rentiers in the ITB and SLRs. 175,045 (1,094 USD) for rentiers in the IBZ. The mean monthly rental income received by a female rentier exceeds the rental incomes of their counterpart males with SLRs. 22,530 (141 USD) and SLRs. 19,908 (124 USD) respectively. It has to be also noted here that 37 out of the 137 KMC leaseholder rentiers (27%) and another 5 out of 43 Idakada rentiers (12%) presently do not get any rent income at all because these shops 25 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT remain closed or where they are open, the shop keepers merely pay the building rent to KMC (in the case of business structures obtained from KMC leaseholders) without paying any additional rent to the building rentiers. 59. Table 12 presents the summary resettlement impacts on the four types of rentier population.

The entitlement matrix in the RAP provides for payment of compensation at replacement cost for rentiers in the ITB similar to the compensation offered to leaseholder business operators for relocation of their business units in a similar or better place, and one-time livelihood grant enabling them to initiate alternate income generating activities. The titleholder rentiers in IBZ will have two options, i.e. either to receive compensation for the loss of their rental incomes for the entire duration of KMTT construction or else to receive a transitional cash allowance to shift to an alternate location together with cash grants for loss of incomes for a period of 6 months. The compensation will also be complemented with special cash allowances for vulnerable APs, and other ex-gratia payments for unforeseen losses such as unsalable remaining stocks, relief for outstanding business loans or higher purchases etc. not covered in the entitlement matrix as determined by EAC or LARC. The R&R assistance for livelihood restoration will be provided through a special livelihood restoration program, as described in Chapter Six. 2.6.4 Mobile Vendors 61. The mobile vendors do not engage in trade from a fixed structure, like the current bus terminal, for example. Unlike in the case of shops or eating places in GSBS where customers come in search of goods or services, the mobile vendors generally move in search of customers or wait in strategic points where customers gather. Depending on how they operate, the mobile vendors are broadly of three kinds. Some of them sell their merchandise from a fixed place along the pavement leading to the bus stand or within the bus stand premises itself including the passenger shelters. These vendors generally sell merchandise such as fruits, snacks, fancy goods, lotteries and betel mixtures (bulath vita) displayed in a tray (tattuwa), glass container in the case of snacks or in a card board box or a plastic container. These street vendors are not mobile vendors in the conventional sense but they are identified as mobile vendors in our analysis because they do not occupy any structures and their venues may change depending on the 26 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT situation. Other mobile vendors carry their merchandise (e.g. vade6, gram, snacks) in a push cart with see through glass surfaces, on the main road passing through the bus stand so that people can buy them instantly. A third group of mobile vendors board the commuter-packed buses with their supplies such as calendars, vade, snacks, fruits and fancy goods held in a hand carried container publicly advertising them by shouting. Nearly 74% of them stated that they started mobile vending on or before year 2000, indicating that they have been engaged in this livelihood for over 15 years. 62. As a part of the SIA, 150 mobile vendors were covered in the census. Contacting them was difficult as they often moved from place to place, and do not operate from one particular place at any given time. The census team carefully selected times when they were less busy and easier to contact and used a snowball procedure for contacting them. As elaborated in Chapter Five, apart from informing all mobile vendors contacted individually, the mobile vendor association was informed of the census ahead of the operation in order to ensure that the information will be disseminated among all mobile vendors. Further, census was carried out at night in order to capture those mobile vendors who operate after hours too. The 150 mobile vendors comprised 137 men (91%) and 13 women (9%). The average monthly income of a mobile vendor was SLRs. 42,667 (267 USD). A male vendor would receive an average monthly income of SLRs. 44,310 (277 USD) whereas their counterpart females have a mean monthly income of SLRs. 25,350 (158 USD). 63. The project will have the effect of displacing these vendors from GSBS where they had been operating for many years as part of the embedded supply chain. SCDP in coordination with CPRPTA and KMC will plan to relocate the mobile vendors in the transitional sites during the period of construction of GSBS as well as in areas where there is demand for their goods and services. However, a long-term livelihood strategy will be identified in respect of these displaced mobile vendors considering the fact that they will not be absorbed into KMTT structure, and bus services in transitional sites will end once KMTT is established. Specifically, the livelihood development plan elaborated in Chapter 6 will assess various livelihood options available for this group in the long run and will extend this assistance to other mobile vendors who are able to provide documentary or circumstantial evidence in support of their operating from the site but were not included in the census. The entitlement matrix provides for cash compensation at replacement cost for mobile vendors to off-set their income losses for a specified period, their temporary relocation in the transitional sites for bus operations during the construction period of KMTT and one-time cash grant to help them initiate alternate livelihood activities. Furthermore, cash compensation will be complemented with special allowances for vulnerable APs, and ex-gratia payments for any unforeseen impacts not included in the entitlement matrix. The livelihood restoration program will also be provided with other R&R assistance. 2.6.5 Shop Assistants 64. A total of 245 participated in the census of shop assistants. There was no sample frame of shop assistants with KMC or any other agency such as the Department of Labour. In the 6 This is a local snack made from a mixture of dhal, spices and wheat flour. 27 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT census with shop operators they were asked to list and specify the number of shop assistants in each establishment and it turned out a total of 346 shop assistants in all business units covered in the census. However, in the census of shop assistants conducted after giving prior information to all shops only 245 shop assistants were captured in the census in spite of multiple visits to each establishment. This discrepancy may be due to a number of factors, including, a rapid turnover of shop assistants in some enterprises such as tea houses, a possible over reporting of the number of shop assistants in the census with shop operators for reasons unclear, the reluctance of some shop operators to allow their shop assistants to appear for the shop assistant census in order to avoid possible disturbance to their businesses and possible consequences of violating labour legislations. Any shop assistant who could not participate in the census due to pressures from his/her employer, but still can produce documentary or other circumstantial evidence in support of his/her employment at GSBS will be reconsidered by SCDP for due entitlements. 65. Among those covered in the census of shop assistants, 132 are in the ITB and 113 in the IBZ. With the exception of workers in six shops all located in the IBZ, in all the other businesses, the shop assistants were employed without any formal employment contract or enrollment in provident fund, employment trust fund, health insurance or accident coverage. The shop assistants in GSBS are not registered with any organization and their conditions of employment and hiring and firing are completely at the discretion of their employers. 66. The number of workers per business ranged from 0 to 25, the highest number of employees in an eating place with multiple shifts in GSBS. Of the 245 shop assistants covered in the census, 224 (91%) were men and 21 (9%) were women. Their ages ranged from 17 to 74 with 43.8 as the mean age. While 23% of them had worked in these establishments for over 10 years, another 33% had joined them within the past three years, indicating a fairly high rate of turnover of these workers. Nearly 80% of the workers are paid on a daily basis with daily wages ranging from SLR. 350 to 2,000 (2.2- 12.5 USD) (mean=SLRs.650/ 4 USD)). The average monthly income of a shop assistant in ITB is SLRs. 34,721 (217 USD) whereas it is SLRs. 25,858 (162 USD) for employees in IBZ. The average monthly income of a male employee in ITB and IBZ is SLRs. 34,909 (218 USD) and SLRs. 34,721 (217 USD), respectively. In contrast, the monthly incomes of their counterpart females in both zones are SLRs. 22,500 (141 USD) and SLRs. 17,526 (110 USD), respectively. The working hours for these shop assistants range from 8 to 24 hours, with those working for longer hours being paid extra wages depending on the nature of work. Many of these workers received an on the job training in the work place in tasks such as kottu making or serving as waiters. 67. The construction of KMTT will lead to loss of employment and wages to shop assistants in the respective business establishments. A few of the shop assistants in the GSBS are already on the lookout for alternative places to work. The job search was being carried out through known contacts and informal social networks with persons such as fellow workers, bus drivers and conductors and regular visitors to their shops. As will be elaborated in the socio-economic profiles of the APs, the shop assistants do rely on incomes from GSBS to varying extent depending on the income sources of other household members as well. In general however, they have limited assets and resources such as jewelry, savings in bank accounts, provident fund 28 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT (only for a few) that would help them overcome the shocks resulting from the loss of their jobs in the GSBS. Further, they are not involved in any organizations such as trade unions, associations or micro finance institutions. In some cases, they are engaged in rotating credit societies (seettu) operating among shop assistants and mobile vendors. On the positive side, some of the shop assistants have marketable skills and social capital embellished through the multiple contacts established while at the GSBS and surrounding urban underserved communities. The entitlement matrix provides for cash compensation at replacement cost for the shop assistants to off-set their income losses for a specified period as well as assistance for their capacity development and re-employment through the livelihood restoration program. 2.6.6 Three Wheel Taxi Operators 68. There are 3 three-wheeler parking areas serving commuters coming to GSBS. One is near the main post office, another one near the Bo Tree and a third one along the SWRD Bandaranaike Mawatha near the commuter exit from the GSBS. The three-wheel operators are required to pay a fee to KMC and register themselves as three wheel operators in the respective places. They generally operate in two to three shifts in each three wheel park. The KMC has registered the three-wheel operators who are occupied in Kandy city and the census captured 65 three wheel operators who are operating at GSBS. 69. As for the three-wheeler ownership, 41% were owner operators and another 40% had obtained the vehicles under lease agreement. The remaining 19% were either hired drivers or operated hired vehicles through payment of a daily rent to the owners. The average monthly income of a three-wheel operator is SLRs. 40,315 (252 USD). Except for the three wheelers involved in transport services to tourists, many felt that the incomes from the operation was rather limited and competition among three wheel operators in each park limited their earnings. Heavy traffic in the city also affected their incomes and increased their susceptibility for committing traffic offenses. On the whole, they did not see many prospects for expanding their incomes in the current scenario. 70. The project impact on three-wheel operators will be temporary displacement from their current sites of operation and they will be resettled in the KMTT premises with better facilities with the commencement of KMTT operations. Adverse impacts on their regular incomes due to temporary relocation are not anticipated. Some of them will be relocated in transitional sites for bus operations as well as in places such as Bogambara, Torrington, Clock Tower and near Kachcheri where there is a demand for three-wheel services. Parking spaces within city limits will be allocated by the KMC. The entitlement matrix of the RAP provides for cash compensation for a 3 months period to off-set any income disturbances during their relocation. Moreover, the livelihood restoration plan will support the three-wheel operators to explore more viable livelihood strategies such as moving into tourism related industries not only as three wheel drivers, but also as tour guides, hotel employees and so on. 29 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 2.6.7 Resettlement Impacts on Employees of Sri Lanka Railways 71. The KMTT project extends to Kandy railway premises where there will be some project related constructions that will require demolition of some existing railway quarters and workers’ rest rooms. Specifically, the project will cause demolition of 9 buildings containing 52 residential and resting units occupied by 52 staff members together with 45 members of their families, and 4 other vacant units belonging to SLR (Table 13). Table 13: Details of railway workers to be relocated Railway worker Type of quarters Number of No. Units No. No. Family category occupied Buildings Occupied Vacant workers members Engine Driver Flats 2 1 2 9 1 Guard Flats 2 1 2 8 Engine Driver/Guard Bungalow 1 11 11 0 Engine Driver/Guard Outstation rest rooms 1 10 10 0 Assistant Engine Driver Outstation rest rooms 1 18 18 0 Labourer Labourer quarters 5 9 2 9 28 TOTAL 9 52 4 52 45 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 72. A total of 97 persons, consisting of 63 adult males, 15 adult females and 19 children, are to be temporarily relocated within railway premises as part of the project. The relocation plans are under preparation in consultation with the railway authorities and relevant categories of railway workers. The relocation plan includes (i) temporary relocation of the railway staff and their family members in transitional housing in proximity to the railway station with same or better standards and service facilities; (ii) railway authorities will be responsible for providing transitional housing, the cost of which will be reimbursed by SCDP; (iii) SCDP will independently monitor the relocation process to ensure that all temporarily displaced staff and their families are provided with transitional accommodation to their satisfaction; and (iv) railway authorities will be responsible for the resettlement of the same staff and their families in the new housing complex to be constructed under KMTT while SCDP will monitor the resettlement process. 2.6.8 Economic and Social Impacts on Operators of Public Utilities in GSBS and Bogambara 73. The construction of the Bogambara transitional bus terminal will altogether affect eight persons engaged in various business activities within the Bogambara site. They include two leaseholders of public utilities and one unauthorized individual and their helpers. The resettlement impacts on these APs and the planned mitigation measures are described below. 74. The first leaseholder is the bus operator of the idling bus park, who held a lease agreement with CPRPTA until May 2018. He charges a fee of SLRs 50/- (0.31 USD) per bus per day for daytime parking and SLRs. 200 (1.25 USD) per bus per day for night parking. The bus operator has employed one assistant to collect the fees from the busses. The bus operator earns a daily income of around SLRs 15,000 (94 USD)of which he has to pay SLRs. 315,000 (1,969 USD) as a monthly rental to CPRPTA. The bus park operator also pays a daily wage of SLRs. 1,200 (7.5 USD) to his assistant. The construction of the transitional terminal will deprive him the chances of a renewal of his contract with CPRPTA and thereby losing his income. In order to compensate for his income losses, CPRPTA will allow the bus operator and his assistant to manage the Bogambara prison front temporary idling park, where the same fleet of buses will be parked, 30 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT without having to pay a monthly rental till October 2018. Furthermore, the bus operator has the option of re-gaining his contract with CPRPTA through an open bidding process, once the idling bus park is permanently shifted to the Kandy South Depot premises. 75. The second leaseholder operates a toilet block from which he earns a daily net income of SLRs 1,500. The toilet block owned by CPRPTA is currently used by the users of the idling Bus Park, with its management leased out to a private party for a period of one year starting from the 15th January 2018. The lessee is liable to pay a monthly payment of SLRs 30,000 (188 USD) to CPRPTA. The leaseholder also employs one sanitary worker, who is paid SLRs. 1,000 (6.25 USD) per day. The block will temporarily cease to function during the construction period as it requires rehabilitation. CPRPTA has agreed to waive off the monthly rental from the leaseholder during the construction period. In addition, a cash compensation for the loss of income to the leaseholder at the rate of SLRs 50,000 (312 USD) per month and for the loss of wages of the assistant at the rate of SLRs 25,000 (156 USD) per month for a period not exceeding 6 months will be determined and awarded by EAC. The toilet block operator can recommence his services once the rehabilitation work is completed for the rest of the period of his contract and also has the option of re-gaining his contract with CPRPTA, once new bids are called for the rehabilitated toilet block. 76. The third, an unauthorized individual operates an eatery from which she earns a net daily income of SLRs 2500/- (16 USD). Additionally, she employs three assistants, one male and 2 female who are paid daily wages amounting to a total of SLRs. 3,500 (22 USD). The onsite eatery will not be demolished or closed during construction of the transitional bus terminal, but its business activities may be partially affected due to possible decrease of clients with shifting of idling park. Alternatively, as requested by the vendor, she will be given access to the Keppetipola road, which is only a few meters away from her eatery, to serve the road users. The contractor will also be encouraged to use her services to provide food for the workers. The eatery owner will continue to gain from an expanded customer base along with the shifting of GSBS bus operations to the Bogambara transitional terminal. 77. Apart from the APs in Bogambara transitional site, the project will also impact on another toilet block operator at GSBS with the clearance of the land for KMTT. The gross income earned by the toilet block operator is reported as SLRs. 360,000 (2,250 USD) per month. Her lease agreement with KMC will expire in October 2018. Despite the ending of her lease agreement in October 2018, KMC has consented to him continuation of his services until the bus operations at GSBS are moved to the transitional sites, and the site is cleared for construction work. Furthermore, KMC will offer him the same services at an alternate toilet block located at Torrington Bus Park which too is owned by KMC. SCDP will ensure that this toilet block operator is compensated for any income losses/disturbances during this transitional period. 2.6.9 Land Acquisition and Related Impacts on Private Individuals 78. As mentioned earlier, construction of KMTT requires the acquisition of private land with an extent of 0.0189ha. The land to be acquired from 2 private individuals will be used for the erection of the skywalk to the KMTT. Land acquisitions will have partial impacts on one 31 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT commercial establishment situated along Sirimavo Bandaranayaka Mawatha operated by one individual and full impact on an abandoned commercial land adjoining Peradeniya Road owned by the another individual (Profile of APs is given in Table 14). Compensation for the acquired land and structures will be paid at replacement cost as provided in the Land Acquisition Act of 1950, Land Acquisition Regulations of 2013, and the RPF prepared under SCDP. Table 14: Profile of APs Land Extent (Perch) Impact on Structure Monthly Profit Name Of AP Gender To be (SLRs) Existing % Type Sq.ft. acquired 780,000 K.D.U. Karunaratne Female 20.0 1.48 7.4 Hotel & Eatery 200.0 Sub structure R.M. Jinasena Male 4.5 4.5 100.0 800.0 NA (Basement of building) 780,000 Total 5.98 1,000.0 2.6.10 Relocation of other commercial structures 79. The project also requires the relocation of some commercial buildings owned by the government and located within Railway premises. They include a fuel filling station, a distribution centre of agro-chemicals, a cooperative storage and cement storage. SCDP is in the process of negotiating with the Central Province Cooperative Department and Ceylon Petroleum Cooperation to relocate these buildings in alternative places. Relocation will not cause any loss of employment to the workers serving these commercial establishments as they are permanent employees of Central Province Cooperative Department and Ceylon Petroleum Cooperation. The employees of Ceylon Petroleum Cooperation will be transferred to works station at Peradeniya which is located 5km away from GSBS. The employees of Central Province Cooperative Department will be transferred to District office located in the Kandy city. However, relocation of the fuel filling station will cause loss of livelihoods and incomes to the leaseholder of filling station operator (agent) and his 7 workers. The entitlement matrix provides for compensation to the service station operator as well as his employees as provided for in the RPF prepared under SCDP. 2.6.11 Impact on Cultural Assets 80. The Bodhi Tree at the entrance to GSBS from SWRD Bandaranayaka Road remains an important cultural asset in GSBS. Many traders, mobile vendors and three-wheel operators contribute to and some take part in daily rituals connected with this sacred place. The project will not damage either the Bodhi tree or the structure built around it. The daily ritual and the maintenance of the place, however, will be affected by the displacement of the current set of operators. In order to minimize this impact, the contractor and his workers would be encouraged to maintain the daily ritual activities of the shrine as part of their routine activities during the construction period. 32 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 81. The project will not damage any heritage buildings in the world heritage city. The railway station itself is an important landmark in the city and the project will maintain the railway station building intact and, moreover, it will be integrated with the new transport terminal via the skywalk. 2.6.12 Impact on Indigenous People 82. There are no indigenous peoples found within the boundaries earmarked for the construction of the KMTT or its transitional sites for bus operations, and thus positive or adverse impacts on indigenous peoples, are not anticipated. 2.7 Construction Related Impacts 83. The construction work of the KMTT as well as one of the transitional bus terminals which will involve converting the existing Bogambara bus idling park will cause temporary disturbances arising from construction work such as minor traffic congestion, dust and noise, etc. Those construction related impacts on the public will be minimized through the implementation of an environmental management plan (EMP) and a social impact mitigation plan (SIMP) prepared for the subproject, implementation of which will be the responsibility of the contractors. The SIMP and the EMP will be included in the bidding document and will be part of the contract agreement. SCDP will closely monitor the effective implementation of those mitigation plans. Furthermore, agreements will be reached with the contractors to carry out the major civil works during night time to minimize inconveniences to the public. 2.8 Possible Impacts of Labour Influx 84. The scope of construction work of KMTT is comparatively large, and thus requires a substantial work force, which is estimated to be around 150-200 persons. The contractor/s may or may not be able to find the required labour force and associated goods and services locally for a number of reasons, among them worker unavailability and lack of technical skills and capacity. Therefore, a sizeable proportion of the labour force may have to be brought in from outside the project area. On the other hand, it is anticipated, as in many cases, that this influx will be compounded by an influx of other people (“followers”) who follow the incoming workforce with the aim of selling them goods and services, or in pursuit of job or business opportunities. 85. The in-migration of labour can provide potential benefits for the community, including economic opportunities through employment and/or training by the project, contributions to the local economy by selling goods and services, the provision of local infrastructure (such as access roads, power, or water connection) which is developed for the project and which serves the community beyond the project duration. However, the rapid migration to and settlement of workers and ‘followers’ in the project area can also negatively affect the project areas such as; - Risks of social conflict, especially between the local community and the construction workers, and also between different groups within the labour force; 33 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT - An increased risk of illicit behaviour and crime through the influx of workers and service providers into communities and the resultant perception of insecurity by the local community; - Discontent amongst the local community on the engagement of outsiders in the project, especially in terms of job opportunities and crowding out of locals; - An increased burden on and competition for public service provision, such as water, electricity, medical services, transport, education, and social services; - Local inflation of prices, with the increase in demand for goods and services due to labour influx, and increased pressure on accommodations and rents, which may lead to price hikes and crowding out of local residents; - An increased risk of communicable diseases and burden on local health services, including sexually transmitted diseases; - Alcohol and drug abuse among the work force leading to illicit drug trafficking in project areas - Gender-based violence, particularly in the form of inappropriate behaviour, such as sexual harassment of women and girls, exploitative sexual relations, and illicit sexual relations with minors from the local community; - Child labour and school dropout, especially following the increased opportunities for the host community to sell goods and services to the incoming workers; - Risks of exploitation of labourers, especially in the form of hiring underage labourers, low and unequal wage payments, forced labour, and discrimination on basis of caste, religion, or ethnicity; 2.8.1 Management of Labour Issues 86. To address the above-mentioned impacts from labour influx on local communities, SCDP will encourage the contractors to reduce labour influx by tapping into the local workforce, to the extent possible, and incorporate social impact mitigation measures into the civil works contract. It might be possible to attract some categories of shop assistants and mobile vendors who are likely to lose employment due to the project for casual employment created by the project. 87. The Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) appended to this RAP, outlines a set of broad parameters to mitigate the risks associated with the social impacts from labour influx. These mitigation measures are guided by the World Bank’s Guidelines on ‘Managing the Risks of Adverse Impacts on Communities from Temporary Project Induced Labour Influx’. SCDP will continue to assess the impacts of labour influx, particularly in consultation with local communities and other stakeholders, and will incorporate additional measures to address the adverse impacts. 88. The mitigation measures embedded in the SIMP will be part of the tender package and construction contract. Prior to starting construction, the contractor will be required to prepare and submit its own SIMP to SCDP describing how he/she will comply with the Project’s 34 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT safeguards documents, including the RAP and demonstrate that sufficient funds are budgeted for that purpose. The Contractor’s SIMP will include management plans for: (i) work activities; (ii) traffic management; (iii) occupational health and safety; (iv) social management; (v) labour influx and worker camp management plan; (vi) code of conduct for workers, including measures to address gender based violence; and (vii) worker engagement policies and conditions. If issues emerge during implementation for which the Contractor’s SIMP does not contain appropriate mitigation measures, the Contractor will be required to update his/her SIMP to include such mitigation measures and, if necessary, the civil works contract will be amended. Civil works for KMTT will not commence until the Contractor prepares an appropriate SIMP, which properly identifies and proposes risk mitigation measures, and it is approved by SCDP. The Contractor will employ a dedicated social safeguards officer who will be responsible for ensuring effective implementation of SIMP, and management of social safeguards. The Contractor will submit regular reports to SCDP, and proactively address any issues that arise. SCDP will regularly monitor and supervise the implementation of SIMP, and Contract’s compliance with social safeguards. 2.9 Socioeconomic Profile of the Affected Persons 89. This section provides a socio-economic profile of the 820 project-affected persons of different categories based on data gathered during the census survey. 2.9.1 Place of Residence 90. As the project is implemented within the Kandy Municipal Council area (KMC), a large number of APs comes from the KMC area itself (consisting of people listed under nearby neighbourhoods and elsewhere in KMC/Gangawata DSD in the following Table 15) but the rest of APs are drawn from the surrounding areas or elsewhere in Sri Lanka. While the three-wheel operators and mobile vendors are mainly from urban low-income communities in the vicinity of GSBS, some of them and the other categories of APs, are drawn from a larger area covering several administrative divisions. Table 15: Distribution of APs by place of residence KMC Area/ Gagawata DSD Nearby Elsewhere Outside AP Category Nearby Elsewhere in Total DSDs in district district Neighborhoods KMC/Gangawata Titleholder, Leaseholder and Non- 8 10 11 3 2 34 titleholder business operators Tenant business operators 34 23 37 24 9 127 Rentiers of business premises 58 64 50 16 4 192 Mobile vendors 59 11 31 39 10 150 Shop assistants 29 23 70 101 22 245 Three wheel operators 37 11 14 3 0 65 Titleholder land owners 2 0 0 0 0 2 Operators of public utilities 2 - - - 3 5 Total 229 142 213 186 50 820 Percentage 28.0 17.0 26.0 23.0 6.0 100 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 35 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 91. A total of 229 APs (nearly 28 %) come from the nearby congested neighbourhoods such as Atupattiya, Suduhumpola and Deiyannewela. The place of residence, however, varies among different categories of APs. The leaseholder business operators (kadalabiya), Idakada business operators and tenant business operators are spread over a wider geographical area. However, a significant concentration of tenant business operators and rentiers of business premises is observed in the adjacent neighbourhoods or within the administrative boundaries of KMC area or the Gangawata Korale DSD. Thus, compared to building rentiers who tend to come from the nearby areas, business operators tend to come from a wider area, perhaps reflecting a wider channel through which the actual business operators have been drawn. A significant number of building rentiers and shop operators drawn from nearby neighbourhoods relate to idakada lekanaya section occupied by non-title holders who are middle to low-income operators from nearby areas. Of the different categories of APs, shop assistants are the ones drawn from relatively faraway area with 78.8% of them, coming from outside the KMC area. This indicates that while any ‘property rights’ within GSBS have been limited to those from the immediate vicinity of the GSBS or nearby areas, the business opportunities from these facilities have served people from a wider area and the employment market catering to a still wider area. A significantly larger portion of three-wheel operators (57%) and, to a lesser extent, mobile traders (39%) are from nearby neighbourhoods with those from outside the area typically having kinship or other connections with those from the immediate vicinity of GSBS. On the whole, many of the social and business networks in GSBS have been established through known contacts whether they are influenced or shaped by ethnicity, kinship, patronage politics or pure business incentives as such. 2.9.2 Length of operations in GSBS 92. Of the larger categories of APs, mobile vendors reported the longest duration of presence in GSBS (nearly 22 years), followed by leaseholder business operators (17 years), three wheel operators (nearly 17 years), rentiers of business premises (16 years), tenant business operators (9 years) and shop assistants (7.3 years). Among the business operators, 53% had the longest stay in GSBS varying from 10-25 years while another 12% claimed for their presence for more than 25 years. Most of the other categories of business operators had operated in GSBS in the range of 10-25 years. However, the operational period of tenant operators was thinly spread over the years and only 38% had a longer stay of more than 10 years. This may be due to the transfer of the tenancy to the hands of several businessmen and higher turnover due to changing demands from customers in GSBS. 93. As expected, the building rentiers reported a longer duration in GSBS with 71% having been there for a period of 10-25 years and another 10% over 25 years. A significant number of shop assistants had the least duration of working period in GSBS with 55% having less than 5 years of work. This is to be expected since the shop assistants, the majority of whom are from distant areas, could not have been survived in GSBS with their relatively low wages and inability to pay for accommodation in Kandy. 36 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 16: Length of operation in GSBS by category of AP (Years of operation in GSBS) <3 3-5 5-10 10-25 >25 Mean No. AP Category Total years Years Years Years Years Years Titleholder, Leaseholder and Non- 2 4 6 18 4 34 17.24 titleholder business operators Tenant business operators 38 11 30 44 4 127 9.02 Rentiers of business premises 10 10 17 136 19 192 16.01 Mobile vendors 5 5 20 65 55 150 21.85 Shop assistants 93 42 56 48 6 245 7.35 Three wheel operators 3 3 8 43 8 65 16.92 Titleholder land owner - 0 - - 2 2 Operators of public utilities 5 - - - - 5 3 Total 156 75 137 354 98 820 Percentage 19.0 9.1 16.7 43.2 12.0 100 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 2.9.3 Demographic characteristics i. Gender 94. With regard to gender distribution, there is significant variation depending on the types of APs. All the three wheel operators are men, which is not surprising since the participation of women as three-wheel operators is significantly low across the country. In all other categories of APs too, men outnumber women. The percentage of women is highest among rentiers (20%) of whom the majority are in the KMC leaseholder rentiers category. Most of the original grantees of shops (kadalabin) are men, but there are some women too who are from politically connected families though not necessarily involved in business. As expected, they rent out these premises to others drawing a regular rent income in the process. Some female descendants of the male shop grantees too have inherited the tenure of these shops, following the death or onset of old age of the original grantees. This pattern explains the relatively higher presence of females among rentiers compared to other categories of APs. While tough competition for business in GSBS tends to wean out women from most enterprises, women have established a niche market in a limited number of trades such as cooking, tailoring, processing and selling of betel quids and selling of bags, purses and fancy goods. Female representation among business operators and tenant business operators is equal in number. The proportion of women among shop assistants and mobile vendors is 9%. Information about gender distribution among different categories of APs is given in Table 17. 37 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 17: Gender distribution of APs Gender No. AP Category Total Male Female Business Operators 1 KMC leaseholder business operators 5 2 7 2 SLR leaseholder business operators 4 1 5 3 Idakada business operators 10 5 15 4 Titleholder business operators 5 2 7 Sub-total 24 10 34 Tenant Business Operators 5 Tenant business operators of KMC leaseholders 84 3 87 6 Tenant business operators of SLR Leaseholders 1 1 2 7 Tenant business operators of Idakada occupants 14 4 18 8 Tenant business operators of titleholders 18 2 20 Sub-total 117 10 127 Rentiers of Business Premises 9 KMC leaseholder (kadalabin) Rentiers 105 32 137 10 SLR leaseholder rentiers 1 - 1 11 Idakada occupant rentiers 37 6 43 12 Titleholder rentiers 11 - 11 Sub-total 154 38 192 Others 13 Mobile Vendors 137 13 150 14 Shop Assistants 224 21 245 15 Three wheel operators 65 - 65 16 Titleholder landowners 1 1 2 Sub-total 427 35 461 Operators of Public Utilities in GSBS and Bogambara Site 17 Operators of public utilities 2 1 3 18 Employees in public utilities 2 - 2 Sub-total 4 1 5 TOTAL 726 94 820 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 ii. Age composition 95. As evident from Table 18, 38% of the APs are in the age group of 46-60 years whereas another 32% is in the age group of 31-45 years. The APs who exceed 60 years of their age constitute 16% of whom the majority are found among the titleholder landowners, shop rentiers Lease holding and non-titleholder business operators. The young APs in the age group of 16-30 years represent 14% of the APs, and among them, the majority are shop assistants followed by tenant business operators. Of the shop rentiers, 51% are in the age category of 46-60 years while another 31% exceed 60 years of age. Among the lease holding and non-titleholder business operators, the majority (38%) are in the age group of 46-60 years, followed by 31 to 45 years and 60+ years. In contrast, the majority (50%) of the tenant business operators are in the age group of 31-45 years, followed by 46 to 60 years. The proportion of mobile vendors who are in the age category of 46-60 years comprised 45% while another 37% are in the age of 31-45 years of age, suggesting their active engagement in the mobile trade. Further, while 83% of the shop assistants 38 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT are in the active labour force of 16-60 years, 54% of them fall within the age group of 16-45 years. Those who exceed 60 years comprise only 16% of the shop assistants.

Education 96. The educational levels vary significantly with the business operators, tenant business operators, rentiers and shop assistants reporting relatively higher levels of education than the other categories of APs. As shown in Table 19, 61% of the APs have higher level of education having completed 11-13 years of schooling and reached the standards of General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level) or General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level). Another 34% of the APs reported having completed 10 years of schooling but without a formal certificate of education. Only 5% of the APs have not attended a school and they are mainly among the elderly group of APs. The relatively higher level of education among shop assistants is an important factor to be considered in that it may give them a head start in possible retraining and efforts at skill enhancement programmes also considering that they have the second lowest average age. 39 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 19: Educational Level of APs Educational Levels AP Category No Up to Grade GCE OL/ Total schooling 9 AL Titleholder, Leaseholder and non-titleholder business operators - 9 25 34 Tenant business operators 2 23 102 127 Rentiers of business premises 16 54 122 192 Mobile vendors 18 82 50 150 Shop assistants 7 87 151 245 Three wheel operators 1 17 47 65 Titleholder landowners - 1 1 2 Operators of public utilities - 2 3 5 Total 44 275 501 820 % 5.4 33.5 61.1 100 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 iv. Household composition 97. The majority of APs’ households (69%) constitute nuclear families, and the rest, are in extended family arrangements. The percentage of extended families is roughly similar across all categories of APs with operators of public utilities and titleholder landowners reporting the highest presence of extended families.

Ethnicity and religion 98. Ethnicity has been an important mechanism to gain access to economic opportunities in GSBS and establish some economic advantages in certain trades. This can be examined by considering the ethnic and religious composition among various categories of APs. Some trades are largely controlled by specific ethnic groups as elaborated in the next section, largely due to recruitment of fellow operators through ethnic networks. 40 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 21: Distribution of different categories of APs by ethnicity Distribution of ethnic groups AP Category Sinhalese Tamil Muslims Other Total No % No % No % No % Titleholder, Leaseholder and non-titleholder 30 88.2 1 2.9 3 8.8 0 0 34 business operators Tenant business operators 68 53.5 8 6.3 50 39.3 1 0.8 127 Rentiers of business 154 80.2 3 1.6 34 17.7 1 0.5 192 premises Mobile vendors 91 60.7 19 12.7 39 2.6 1 0.7 150 Shop assistants 135 55.1 36 14.7 73 29.8 1 0.4 245 Three wheel operators 54 83.1 6 9.2 5 7.7 0 0 65 Titleholder landowners 2 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 Operators of public 5 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 utilities Total 539 50.37 73 11.34 204 15.85 4 0 820 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 Table 22: Distribution of different categories of APs by religion Distribution of religious groups AP Category Catholic/ Buddhist Hindu Islamic Christian Total No % No % No % No % Leaseholder and non-titleholder 28 82.3 3 8.8 2 5.9 1 2.9 34 business operators Tenant business operators 68 53.5 7 5.5 51 40.1 1 0.7 127 Rentiers of business premises 147 77 5 3 35 18 5 3 192 Mobile vendors 87 58 16 11 40 27 7 5 150 Shop assistants 125 51 36 15 73 30 11 4 245 Three Wheel operators 51 78 4 6 5 8 5 8 65 Titleholder landowner 2 100 0 0 0 0 2 Operators of public utilities 5 100 0 0 0 5 Total 513 63 71 9 206 25 30 4 820 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 99. The largest number of project affected persons is Sinhalese, followed by Muslims and Tamils. Taking into account all categories of APs, Sinhalese comprise nearly 50% of APs as compared to 74.4% of the district population and 72.6% of the population in Gangawata Korale divisional secretariat division as per the 2012 population census. In contrast, the Muslims who constituted 15.9% of all APs constitute 14.1% of the district population and 11.5 % of the population in Gangawata Korale division. The Tamils constituting 11.2% of the district population and 13.1 % of the Gangawata Korale population make up 11.3% of all APs. In other words, there is an underrepresentation of Sinhalese and a corresponding over representation of Muslims among the project affected persons. The Tamil APs were slightly above the district population but underrepresented the population in the DSD. 41 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 100. Additionally, ethnic distribution is also not uniform among the different categories of APs. While a vast majority of the APs across all categories are Sinhalese, their presence in proportion to their total population reduces considerably among tenant business operators with a corresponding increase of Muslim representation in the said trade. This means that a significant number of Sinhala kadalabin have rented their premises to Muslim businessmen who have the required capital, business skills and contacts. Tamils are considerably underrepresented among the rentiers but less so among business operators. The Muslim business operators have a tendency to recruit Muslim assistants using their known contacts including kinship ties. The Tamil shop assistants mostly from the plantation sector have been popular among certain Sinhalese and Muslim business operators because of their ready availability, lower demands and willingness to bear the rather unfavorable employment conditions in GSBS. Mobile vendors are drawn from all communities, while Sinhalese are over-represented among the three-wheel operators, most of whom are from nearby neighbourhoods. 101. Various categories of business operators in GSBS are neither socially nor spatially segregated along ethnic lines, with business and social ties commonly cutting across ethnic divisions in this venue. There are, however, ethnic preference for certain trades. For instance, mobile phone business, which is one of the largest single business operations in this transport hub, is largely controlled by Muslims who are connected with one another since they generally come from Muslim towns such as Akurana. Similarly, Sinhalese dominate in the fruit trade from wholesale trade downwards. The two farm shops in GSBS are run by Tamil traders. These patterns indicate possible recruitment of traders, shop assistants, mobile traders and three- wheel operators along ethnic and kinship lines by those first established in these enterprises. The same social ties are also mobilized for mutual support and protection of each other in the relevant trades. 102. As for religious activities in GSBS, the Sinhalese Buddhist traders lead the daily ritual operations near the Buddha statue and Bodhi tree at the southern entrance of GSBS. The Muslim traders visit the nearby mosques for their Friday prayers, in particular. The Tamil traders make daily ritual observances within their shops themselves. On the other hand, the traders from different communities often come together to celebrate major religious festivals such as Vesak, Poson or Christmas. 2.10 Livelihoods 103. This section presents a short profile of the livelihood activities of the different AP categories. 2.10.1 Business Operators 104. Both owner business operators as well as tenant business operators are engaged in a variety of businesses of different scale. As evident from the SIA, the main business catering to bus commuters in GSBS is mobile phones and related services, followed by fruits, water and snacks, service centres such as barber saloons, tailor shops, lottery sales and betting centres etc., sale of other products such as fancy goods, toys and handbags etc. and a range of tea houses 42 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT and eating places. Details of individual businesses operated by 161 business operators in both ITB and IBZ appear in the inventory of losses (IOL) in Annex 03. Accordingly, 48 persons (29.8%) are engaged in selling and repairing of mobile phones and other electronic devices; 39 persons (24.2%) are engaged in selling fruits, water and snacks; 26 persons (16.1%) are running hotels, restaurants and eatery places; 25 persons (15.5%) are providing a variety of services such as communication centres, tailoring shops, salons; and 23 persons (14.2%) are selling a mix of various other commodities. 60 50 40 30 48 20 39 26 25 23 10 0 Hotel and Eatery Sales, Repair of Fruits, Water and Services Centers Sales of other Places Mobile and other Snacks Commodities Electronics Items Figure 6: Classification of Business Operations in GSBS by Main Business 105. It has to be noted here that initially, the KMC prohibited the use of these premises for establishing hotels and saloons for reasons of maintaining hygienic standards and garbage disposal. As a result, water supply was not provided in these premises perhaps due to the same considerations. However, these regulations have not been adhered to and the KMC has not made any consistent effort to enforce these regulations either. Even to date, there are no water supplies to these premises and the hotel operators bring barrels of water from outside thus only adding to the unhygienic conditions in GSBS. Further, the initial agreement between KMC and kadalabiya clearly stated that there should be neither subletting of the premises nor any alteration to the original structures built by UDA (Clause 10 of the agreement issued on 14.12.2004), but these conditions too have been violated in many instances. One clear example is the merger of multiple stalls for operational purposes by the shop keepers for creating viable businesses such as hotels. As a result, the actual number of functioning businesses (133) in ITB area in GSBS is considerably less than the number of stalls listed in Municipal records (193). However, KMC continues to earn a rent income on the basis of the original number of stalls without recognizing the alterations made and the businesses started such as the hotels that need water supply and periodic checking of hygienic standards. Lack of title to the shops on the part of business operators and their lack of official recognition by KMC and other agencies may be inhibiting their access to credit for expansion of these enterprises from institutional sources such as banks. This has also prevented the formation of any organization among the business operators in GSBS. 43 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 106. Even though these businesses cater to the actual needs of over 300,000 commuters daily passing through the GSBS, the quality of services is poor and incomes from these enterprises have stagnated or rapidly declined over the years compelling some 20 premises to close down permanently with a few of them seized by the KMC for rent payment going into substantial arrears. Further, some of the transactions border on illegal operations such as buying and selling of used mobile phones with no licenses. The entire hotel industry in GSBS, the second largest enterprise in the bus stand, also operates on an unregulated basis with even the minimum hygienic standards not being maintained. 107. Thus, businesses in GSBS have evolved in response to the demand from the commuters and perhaps bus operators, but the poor quality of products and services and poor governance must be seen as a chronic problem that must be overcome in KMTT. It is also to be noted here, however, that there are certain business operators in GSBS particularly in trades such as mobile phones, snacks, fruits and water, who can be deployed in KMTT with proper orientation and training and development of suitable governance structures. 2.10.2 Rentiers of business premises 108. As mentioned earlier, the rentiers who have rented or sub-let their business premises to others constituted the largest affected population with 192 individuals. Among them, 154 are men and 38 women. The rentiers included four sub-categories, namely (i) 137 KMC leaseholders (kadalabiyas); (ii) 1 SLR leaseholder; (iii) 43 Idakada non-titleholders who had encroached some demarcated space (idakada) within GSBS and operate with the tacit approval of KMC; and (iv) 11 titleholder businessmen. The first three categories are located in the ITB whereas the fourth category is in the IBZ. 2.10.3 Mobile Vendors 109. The mobile vendors are part of a supply chain that operates in the Kandy region. Generally, these vendors prepare their own supplies (e.g. making vade or cooking gram), obtained them on credit from wholesalers in the central market (e.g. fruits), shops in GSBS (e.g. water, cool drinks, snacks) or suppliers who bring commodities in bulk in three wheelers or other vehicles. When they obtain supplies from other traders, these mobile vendors usually earn a commission from the sales. Thus, the mobile vendors are part of a network of traders catering to over 300,000 commuters passing through GSBS. The mobile vendors are usually at the lowest level of the supply chain with a subsistence level of livelihood and the associated risks, vulnerabilities and shocks. Mobile vendors work in shifts with late night mobile vendors catering to the needs of long-distance commuters. Alcohol consumption appears to be quite common among the male mobile vendors, particularly those involved in the night shift. On the positive side, the commuters often check with the mobile vendors about bus time tables, exact location of the specific buses, toilets and other services in GSBS, thus adding to the services they provide at the GSBS, albeit indirectly. 110. Most of the mobile vendors came from low-income urban communities in the vicinity of the GSBS, entry into the mobile vendor network and their business operations being assisted 44 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT through the existing social contacts. In addition, there are some mobile vendors who originate from faraway places but boarded themselves in the same urban low-income communities for engagement in mobile trade in GSBS. For instance, two of the gram sellers said in their interviews that they originally came from Elpitiya in the Southern Province, sold gram in a suburb of Colombo for some time and came to Kandy during the Perahera7 season for seasonal mobile trade in grams and finally moved to GSBS as their venue as they found an economic niche there. 111. In the previous section, three different modes of operations adopted by mobile vendors to engage in their mobile businesses were mentioned. Like business operators, mobile vendors too are also engaged in a variety of small scale businesses. Table 23 presents the types of businesses conducted by mobile vendors. The main products sold are vade and soft drinks and/or water with each group capturing 17% of the market. Mobile vendors who sell books and newspapers and toys and fancy goods comprise equal numbers representing 9.3% in each group. Different varieties of fruits are sold by 16% of the vendor population. The lottery tickets are sold by 8%. There are yet another 11.3% of mobile vendors who marketed a variety of mixed commodities.

All the mobile vendors operating in GSBS are expected to register with the regional transport authority (CPRPTA) or KMC depending on where and how they operate, but as per the assessment carried out for the RAP preparation, these registers have not been updated regularly with several mobile vendors currently in business having no registration or license of any kind. The entry of new persons to these vendor circuits/networks, however, was prevented by people already engaged in these trades in a clear effort to regulate the market. 2.10.4 Shop Assistants 113. There is a variety of employees in the business establishments in GSBS. They include salespeople, waiters, cooks, cleaners, tailors, barbers and day labourers. They are drawn from a wider geographical area, inclusive of low-income urban communities near GSBS (e.g. 7 Perahara is the annual ritual of the Temple of Tooth in Kandy involving typically held in August. 45 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Deiyannewela, Suduhumpola, Hantana Road and Atupattiya), marginal plantation communities in Galaha and from elsewhere in the country. For instance, a number of cooks employed in eating houses as kotthu8 makers (koththu bas) commuted to work in GSBS from Galaha situated some 25km away from Kandy.

All the three-wheel drivers operating in GSBS are male. Some of the three-wheel operators listed in the KMC records are not operating anymore and there are still others who were not registered with the KMC and hence operating without the knowledge of the authorities. The three-wheel operators are fined frequently on the roads for traffic violations and failure to follow parking rules.9 Apart from transporting passengers and goods from and to GSBS, some of the three wheelers also provide transport services outside the GSBS such as transporting school children or office workers from their homes to the relevant destinations and vice-versa. 115. As in the case of mobile vendors and shop assistants, many of the three-wheel operators come from nearby low-income communities, and use their contacts with people already in business to enter into this trade. Once again those outside this network are generally not allowed to park their three wheelers in the relevant parks restricting the access of others to these locations. This tendency for monopolistic control by those from nearby low-income communities over income earning opportunities in GSBS other than in shop keeping that requires capital 8 . “Kottu” is a popular local snack made from chopping of vegetables, meat, sp ices and wheat flour, the process involving sound effects and instant preparation. 9 The traffic police only allowed 3 three wheelers to wait for passengers at each place at any given time and if the three wheel operators violated this they were fined by the police. 46 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT investment, is an important feature to be considered in assessing the potential social impact of the new project. 2.11 Household Incomes 116. The income of various categories of APs in GSBS varied according to type of business, volume of operations and the demand for various products and services. Table 25: Mean monthly Incomes of APs by Category of APs ITB IBZ ITB IBZ AP Category SLRs SLRs SLRs SLRs Male Female Male Female All All KMC leaseholder business operator 85,200 21,000 - - 66,857 - SLR leaseholder business operator 75,000 - - 35,700 75,000 35,000 Idakada business operator 87,000 35,700 - - 69,900 - Titleholder business operator - - 148,200 471,000 - 240,428 All business operators 83,210 31,500 148,200 325,667 69,288 214,750 Tenant business operator of KMC 99,351 72,000 - - 89,850 - leaseholder Tenant business operator of SLR 180,000 - - - 180,000 - leaseholder Tenant of Idakada occupier 104,732 88,875 - - 101,208 - Tenant of titleholder - - 151,722 33,000 - 139,850 All tenant business operators 102,139 81,643 151,722 33,000 100,785 139,850 KMC leaseholder (kadalabin) rentiers 15,042 17,227 - - 15,523 - SLR leaseholder rentier 21,000 - - - 21,000 Idakada occupier rentiers 23,922 27,833 - - 24,539 - Titleholder rentiers - - 175,045 - - 175,045 All rentiers of business premises 17,655 19,500 175,045 - 10,027 175,045 Mobile vendors 44,310 25,350 - - 42,667 - Shop assistants 34,909 22,500 27,547 17,526 34,721 25,858 Three wheel operators 40,315 - - - 40,315 - Operators of public utilities 102,755 - - - 102,755 - Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 117. Overall the highest income earners are business operators in the IBZ followed by rentiers of business premise in IBZ, and tenant operators in IBZ. Among all AP categories those in ITB have reported relatively lower incomes compared to those in IBZ suggesting that compensation based on reported incomes will be more advantageous to operators in IBZ compared to those in ITB also because those in IBZ will be able to prove their incomes as some of them are income tax payees. This would also mean that compensation payment to operators in IBZ for income losses during the construction period would cost a substantial amount to the project. For a variety of reasons mentioned elsewhere in this RAP, permanent or temporary relocation of operators in IBZ would be neither feasible nor desirable also considering possible appreciation of property values in land bordering KMTT following its establishment. SCDP has considered various options to minimize resettlement impacts and cost overruns by not relocating the businesses in the IBZ. Relocation of businesses in IBZ is costly and not feasible for their business operations. Discussions had been also held with APs in the IBZ, on how their businesses could be linked to the KMTT by adapting/modifying their business operations to the emerging needs of the commuter population once the KMTT is established 47 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 118. The reported monthly mean income from GSBS for leaseholder and non-titleholder business operators in ITB and IBZ ranges from SLRs. 69,288 (433 USD) and SLRs. 214,750 (1,342 USD) respectively. The mean income among female operators in ITB is substantially lower than the mean income of their counterpart males whereas it is vice versa for business operators in IBZ. The monthly income generated by a tenant business operator in ITB is SLRs. 100,785 (630 USD) while it is SLRs. 139, 850 (874 USD) in the IBZ. The average incomes of female tenants in IBZ are also significantly lower than the incomes of their counterpart males. The rental incomes of the rentiers in IBZ far exceed the rental incomes received by rentiers in ITB with SLRs. 175,045 (1,094 USD) against SLRs. 10,027 (63 USD). One of the reasons for higher incomes generated by the business community in IBZ is that not only their business operations are well established compared to their counterparts in ITB, but also the floor area occupied by the business operators in IBZ is comparatively larger than the floor area used by ITB business operators. The female rentiers in ITB receive a higher rental income compared to their counterpart males. The average monthly income of mobile vendors is SLRs. 42,667 (267 USD) with SLRs. 44,310 (277 USD) for males and SLRs. 25,350 (158 USD) for females. The mean incomes of shop assistants in IBZ are lower than the incomes of their counterparts in ITB. And female shop assistants in both zones derive a lower income compared to their male counterparts. Thus the income gap between males and females was unfavorable to females particularly in the case of those from lower socio- economic backgrounds. The average monthly income earned by three wheel operators is around SLRs. 40,315 (252 USD). The income variation within each category was substantial in all AP categories with business operators and rentiers reporting the greatest income variation among themselves. 119. The mean household incomes of leaseholder business operators and tenant business operators per month is twice as big as the corresponding figures for mobile vendors, shop assistants and three wheel operators and some 40% higher than the building rentiers. This is in spite of the finding that the mean number of earners tends to be higher in the case of shop assistants and building rentiers relative to the mean number of earners in business operator households (see Table 26). Obviously running business enterprises is more lucrative than all other economic activities in GSBS. Table 26: Average No. Earners per household and the share of GSBS income in the total household income Mean No of Earners per Mean Income from AP Category Household GSBS % ITB IBZ ITB IBZ Titleholder, Leaseholder and non-titleholder 1.48 1.50 80.40 90.90 business operator Tenant business operators 1.52 1.40 86.06 82.73 Rentiers of business operators 1.54 1.64 34.50 55.90 Mobile vendors 1.45 * 84.20 * Shop Assistants 1.59 1.66 28.00 24.30 Three wheel operators 1.29 * 86.64 * Operators of public utilities 2.00 * 60.00 * Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 120. Most AP households have multiple income sources as well as more than a single earning member in the family. As for the aggregate household monthly income derived from GSBS, 48 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT leaseholder business operators and tenant business operators derive over 84% to 86% of their total household income from GSBS, followed by three wheel operators, mobile vendors, building rentiers and shop assistants. The rentiers are less dependent on rental incomes, which is to be expected since they also have other sources of incomes. However, rental incomes constitute a substantial share of the household incomes of titleholder rentiers in IBZ. Households of the shop assistants are the least to depend on incomes generated by their family members from GSBS. With the exception of business operators whose incomes from GSBS are substantial, others do not appear to be exclusively or heavily dependent on their economic activities in GSBS. This, however, cannot be taken as an index of vulnerability as such because other categories of APs with relatively low incomes from GSBS are perhaps compelled to turn to a variety of other livelihood strategies in order to sustain their families. Their diversity of livelihood strategies, however, may be useful in containing the impact of KMTT in so far as they can utilize any compensation received from the project to develop alternative livelihoods. This is something that needs to verify further in identifying livelihood options for APs. 2.12 Land ownership 121. The SIA sought to establish the categories of land owned by APs rather than the extent of land owned because of the complexity in land ownership in Kandy and surrounding areas associated with the presence of temple land, undivided property ownership and the inability of the survey team to check information about land ownership in home areas of APs.

Of the total of 820 APs, 672 (82%) claimed having their own residential land/home gardens. Others live in extended families, where house and land ownership rest with parents, siblings or other members of the household. The ownership of house site is highest among operators of public utilities, titleholder landowners, three-wheel operators, and mobile vendors, followed by rentiers, tenant business operators and property holding business operators. This is contrary to the expected pattern in that property holding business operators are generally more likely to own their residential land. The title to land, however, may be questionable particularly in the case of congested neighborhoods in which many mobile vendors and three wheel operators live. Only 31% of the APs reportedly have any other land ownership which they would 49 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT have used for agricultural or commercial purposes. Those residents in rural areas and outside the city limits are more likely to own agricultural land in the respective areas. The titleholder landowners, operators of public utilities, mobile vendors, rentiers and business operators are more likely to own land other than their house plots. APs who claimed owning paddy land are negligible. Considering the limited possession of private land by APs, their attachment to whatever meagre property rights and entitlements they possess in GSBS and bordering areas is understandable. 2.13 Housing conditions 123. Roughly about 75% to 80% of all categories of APs reportedly own the house in which they live, with comparatively higher percentage among mobile vendors, shop assistants and three-wheel operators. Irrespective of the category of AP, most of the houses in which they live are permanent structures. In terms of the number of rooms per house, business operators and rentiers typically have four or more rooms as against 3 to 3.5 rooms per house in the case of the other three categories of APs.

Overall, the living conditions in the AP households in terms of access to electricity, pipe borne water and sanitation facilities across all categories of APs tend to be better compared to the population at large. Only 12 households (1.4%) of the total AP population reported not having connected to grid electricity compared to 5% households in the population at large as evident in the 2012 population census. Almost 93% of the households have access to pipe borne water as compared to 72% in the Kandy district as a whole (2012 census). The rest would have drawn their water from a private well, public tap or a neighbour’s well/tap. Altogether 98% of the APs have access to individual toilets. However, a small proportion of leaseholder and non- titleholder business operators, mobile vendors and shop assistants do not have access to a private toilet in their households. As a result, some of them use a public toilet whereas others use a neighbor’s toilet. 50 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 29: Household amenities Access to Access to pipe Access to No. AP Category electricity borne water sanitation APs No % No % No % Titleholder, Leaseholder and Non- 34 34 100 31 91.2 32 94.1 titleholder business operators Tenant business operators 127 126 99.2 126 99.2 126 99.2 Rentiers of business premises 192 191 99.5 188 97.9 192 100 Mobile vendors 150 149 99.3 131 87.3 140 93.3 Shop assistants 245 237 96.7 217 88.6 239 97.5 Three wheel operators 65 64 98.5 62 95.4 65 100 Titleholder land owners 2 2 100 2 100 2 100 Operators of public utilities 5 5 100 5 100 5 100 Total 820 808 98.5 762 92.9 807 98.4 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 2.15 Community and social dimensions 125. Community and family ties as well as patronage networks with local politicians have been used widely by people in nearby areas in securing business and employment opportunities in GSBS. The informal sector economy in the GSBS is driven by some influential people in Kandy town, with strong connections with the municipal administration. The supporters of urban politicians from areas near GSBS have utilized their ties with local politicians to secure business premises established in the bus stand or regularize their encroachments in places such as “idakada” wherever possible. Some of the shop grantees (kadalabin) are business people, including hawkers, who had been displaced by urban upgrading elsewhere in the city. Still other shop grantees are simply beneficiaries of political patronage with neither the required business experience nor the capital needed to start businesses. Therefore, these individuals had opted to rent out the premises to third parties who were seasoned entrepreneurs who had in turn identified the bus commuters as a potential market. 126. The congested urban neighbourhoods surrounding GSBS can be seen as important stakeholders whose livelihoods are closely connected with economic opportunities in GSBS. The livelihoods in Deiyannewela, Atupattiya, Suduhumpola and Hantana Road are connected with economic activities in GSBS in a number of ways. All these communities are ethnically mixed with a significant presence of Sinhalese in Suduhumpola and Deiyannewela and Muslims and Tamils in Atupattiya. In some cases the entire extended family is involved in GSBS in different activities through mobile trade or fixed trade. For example, in one instance, the husband, wife, one daughter and her cousin are all engaged in fancy goods business in different places in idakada creating network of commercial operators with a control over the trade. Similarly, in another family, the father first came to GSBS in the 1990s to sell fruits and subsequently his wife came there to sell betel quids (bulath wita) from a fixed place within a bus shelter. More recently two of their sons too have joined the mobile trade in different commodities in different locations in GSBS. These examples illustrate the manner in which ethnicity, family and kinship ties particularly in low-income communities operate as a channel for gaining access to economic opportunities in GSBS. In idakada area, several members of an extended family have worked together to keep these premises within the family and they do complementary businesses such 51 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT as selling of women’s hand bags and perfumes in nearby shops. There is also a severely disabled woman watch repairer who can engage in this trade only because she has male helpers in nearby shops who does errands for her and help her board buses or alight from them. This suggests that it would be necessary to retain these supportive networks wherever possible as part of the resettlement programme for the KMTT affected population. 2.16 Social organizations 127. There are no effective formal organizations linking different categories of APs or even the same category of APs in some instances. The grantees of shops from KMC have formed ‘Goodshed Ekabadda Eksath Velanda Sangamya’ (United Traders Association in Good Shed Bus Stand) in order to safeguard their rights vis-à-vis KMC, but this organization appears to be driven by a few individuals with no broader participation of its members and no regular meetings of its larger membership. 128. The three-wheel drivers in each site have formed an association - Three Wheel Operators Association in GSBS - in order to prevent the entry of new three wheel operators to their sites. Similarly, the mobile vendors have their own association to protect their access to mobile trade in this venue. Some of these organizations are also active in providing social welfare services to the members and assistance in family distresses such as funerals. None of these organizations, however, have regular meetings or ongoing activities. Moreover, there is no organization among business operators or shop assistants, many of whom come from outside the area. Further, both tenant business operators and shop assistants appear to be reluctant to assert their rights in view of possible reactions from building rentiers and employers respectively. Perhaps this may be due to the bondages and mutual understandings between the tenant business operators and their respective rentiers not to engage themselves in any organized form of behavior. In the case of shop assistants, a majority of them are daily paid casual workers with no legal rights to their employment. 2.17 Poverty and Vulnerability Profile 129. In this assessment, a poverty profile was developed based on the number of Samurdhi beneficiaries in each AP group as well as the number of households below the Official Poverty Line (OPL) established in the Household Income and Expenditure Survey of 2016. The number of Samurdhi beneficiaries indicates the inclusion in the government poverty reduction programme and OPL10 points to the actual number of people with insufficient income to meet their basic needs whether or not they are supported under the Samurdhi scheme. 10 In 2016 HIES SLRs. 4,166 per person per month was identified as OPL. See Department of Census and Statistics 2016, p. 41. 52 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 30: Poverty profile of APs Households receiving Households Government’s below the official AP Category No. APs Samurdhi subsidy poverty line No. % No. % Titleholder, Leaseholder and non-titleholder 34 2 5.9 - - business operators Tenant business operators 127 8 6.3 - - Rentiers of business operators 192 11 5.7 22 11.5 Mobile vendors 150 33 22.0 12 8.0 Shop Assistants 245 44 17.9 19 7.7 Three wheel operators 65 3 4.6 5 7.6 Titleholder landowner 2 0 0 0 0 Operators of public utilities 5 1 20.0 - - Total 820 102 12.4 58 7.1 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 130. Sections of the various categories of APs have benefitted from the government’s poverty reduction program of Samurdhi to varying levels. Around 12% of the vendor community in GSBS is the recipients of Samurdhi subsidies though the numbers benefiting from this program are comparatively low among business operators and three wheel operators. The APs living below the official poverty line (OPL) of monthly per capita income of SLRs. 4,166 per person (2016) account for 7% of the GSBS vendor population of 813 persons. The prevalence of poverty as measured according to OPL is highest among rentiers of business premises though they have not been supported much under the Samurdhi program. It is likely that a high proportion of rentiers who are below the poverty line are those who did not receive a rent income from the shops that they have rented to third parties as described earlier. Apart from them, higher incidence of poverty is observed among shop assistants, followed by mobile vendors. On the other hand, surprisingly the three wheel operators have the lowest poverty incidence on both counts in spite of their lowest mean number of earners per household. This suggests that the incomes derived from three-wheel operation in GSBS are substantial perhaps because of the number of hires per day and possible availability of supplementary income sources such as transporting goods to shops in GSBS. 131. Female headed households (FHH) are higher among rentiers of business premises. This higher percentage may be attributed to their older stage in the household life cycle where females who live longer take on household headship following the death of their husbands. The rentier households also constitute higher number of elderly persons as well as persons with health risks. The households of shop assistants represent the most vulnerable families with comparatively high FHHs, persons with disabilities, elderly persons and persons with health risks. The intersection of poverty, female headship, old age and disability in the case of certain rentiers require particular attention in considering their entitlements and resettlement. 53 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 31: Vulnerability profile of APs Female Headed Households with Households with Household members AP Category Households disabled persons elderly persons with health risks No. % No. % No. % No. % Titleholder, Leaseholder and non-titleholder 7 8 7 5 10 5 business operators Tenant business 13 15 6 5 37 20 operators Rentiers of business 26 31 3 27 58 45 47 26 premises Mobile vendors 15 18 3 27 17 13 28 16 Shop assistants 24 28 5 45 39 30 40 22 Three wheel operators 1 1 18 10 Titleholder landowners - - - - - - Operators of public - - - - 1 1 2 1 utilities 85 100 11 100 129 100 182 100 Source: Social Impact Assessment, December 2017 2.18 Gender and vulnerability 132. On the whole, there is a notable underrepresentation of females among all economic operators in GSBS. This is understandable in view of the nature of economic activities and power dynamics in GSBS where physical force is sometimes used to safeguard territory (e.g. in mobile trade and three wheel operations) and women’s participation is largely restricted to certain niche markets such as cooking in hotels, tailoring in tailor shops and selling of betel quids stationed in a fixed place frequented by bus commuters. Having said that, relative to other economic activities, female participation is higher among rentiers and business operators, largely due to inheritance of these enterprises from their husbands. Incomes of female business operators in IBZ are higher compared to their male counterparts indicating that in selected economic activities, such as running hotels and selling hand bags or fancy goods, female operators can do well if not better compared to their male counterparts. On the other hand, incomes of women in ITB and particularly among mobile vendors and shop assistants, who tend to come from lower socio-economic backgrounds, is substantially lower compared to their male counters, indicating that women are either restricted to less remunerative and perhaps more vulnerable economic activities at the lower end of the hierarchy such as betel selling, and/or paid lower salaries compared to male workers in same occupations as evident in the case of cooks, dish washers and daily helpers in restaurants. Leaving aside the rentiers and shop keepers who tend to come from relatively better-off family backgrounds, in the case of mobile vendors and shop assistants, the smaller number of women involved in these economic activities tends to be concentrated in economically less rewarding operations largely avoided by men. 133. The prevalence of female headed households may or may not be an indicator of vulnerability depending on the specific situation. Female headship is more common among rentiers and shop keepers, perhaps due to demographic dynamics such as the longer life span of women and the tendency for women to inherit property from their husbands following the death 54 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT of the latter. This is not necessarily a sign of vulnerability as women operators can perform these economic activities effectively as can be seen by the income data given for IBZ in Table 25. On the other hand, where female headship is combined with old age and disability as indicated in Table 31, it can contribute to higher poverty and vulnerability. Specifically, the intersectionality of old age, disability and poverty appears to be more common among the households of shop assistants, mobile vendors as well as among those people whose livelihoods depend on rent incomes from GSBS. On the whole, the incidence of poverty is highest among rentiers, followed by shop assistants and mobile vendors, whose incomes are among the lowest, particularly among the respective female operators (Table 25). 2.19 Overall Summary 134. While the five categories of APs share certain social, demographic and economic characteristics, there are also important differences among them in terms of income levels, living conditions and vulnerability profiles. As regards those who control assets, business operators are generally better positioned compared to rentiers when it comes to incomes and health risks and exposure to poverty in general. Among the seemingly more vulnerable categories of APs, mobile vendors and shop assistants tend to have less assets and lower incomes compared to the three wheel operators. On the other hand, except for rentiers and shop assistants, all other AP categories have a higher dependence on incomes from GSBS (Table 26). In effect, we may expect greater economic consequences associated with the displacement from GSBS among shop assistants, mobile vendors and rentiers. With the notable exception of titleholder business operators among whom women tend to earn considerably higher incomes, among all other categories of APs and the female operators among mobile vendors and shop assistants in particular have lower incomes and are in more vulnerable employment conditions as evident from Table 25. In the process of developing resettlement interventions, both the resettlement plan and the livelihood restoration plan will take into consideration the important differences among the five groups of APs and internal differences within each AP category as well. 55 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT CHAPTER THREE 3. LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK 3.1 Introduction 135. The legal and policy framework for involuntary acquisition of private land, determining entitlements for persons affected by land acquisitions, planning for resettlement of affected persons and restoration of their livelihoods in the Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT) project will be guided by GOSL‘s Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No.9 of 1950 as amended in 1986, Land Acquisition Regulations of 2008 and the Land Acquisition (Payment of Compensation) Regulations of 2013, National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001, the World Bank’s Safeguards Policy OP 4.12 and the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of SCDP. The total land requirement for the KMTT is estimated at 3.6741ha. The land earmarked for project construction is largely the crown land vested with a number of government agencies. The private land required for KMTT is only 0.0189ha, which is 0.5% of the total land requirement. Thus, 99.5% of the total land requirement for the project will be obtained from state agencies many of whom are directly connected with transport services and will serve as project partners (i.e., SLTB, SLR and RDA). The land will be released by the respective project partner agencies for the construction of KMTT based on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached between the respective government agencies and the project implementing agency for which the legal documents are under preparation. SCDP will also obtain approval from the Cabinet of Ministers enabling the project partners to release the land. 3.2 Legal Framework for Involuntary Land Acquisitions 136. Involuntary acquisition of private land for a public purpose is guided by the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) No.9 of 1950.The LAA provides for compensation for land, structures and crops affected by acquisition. The entitlements and compensation for persons affected by land acquisitions will be determined as per the provisions in the Land Acquisition Regulations of 2008 and the Land Acquisition (Payment of Compensation) Regulations of 2013. 3.3 Land Acquisition Act No. 9 of 1950 137. The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 provides for acquisition of private land and servitude rights for public purposes. It provides for the payment of compensation at market rates for lands, structures and crops. The Act is based on the principle of eminent domain and lays down the general procedure for the acquisition of private land for ‘public purpose’ (e.g. development projects). The land acquisition process is lengthy and takes a minimum of about seventy-two weeks for its completion. The law also stipulates that lands acquired for a particular purpose cannot be used for a different purpose, and lands that remain unused be returned to the original owners. Table 32 summarizes the land acquisition process as stipulated under LAA. 56 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 32: Land Acquisition Process under Land Acquisition Act No. 9 of 1950 No. Activity Responsibility 1.

The LAA provides for the payment of compensation on the basis of ‘market value’ defined as the ‘amount which the land might be expected to have realized if sold by a willing seller in the open market as a separate entity’. This ‘separate entity principle’ resulted in hardships particularly when a small part of a larger land was acquired. In the open market such a small area of land fetched a minimum value. The Land Acquisition Regulations of 2008 approved by the Cabinet of Ministers and the Parliament under Section 63 (2) (f) of LAA 1950 and published in the Government Gazette of 07th April, 2009 (Gazette notification No.1596/12 of 7.4.2009) gave the legal status to these Regulations and bound all development projects by the consolidated land acquisition and resettlement/rehabilitation processes outlined in the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of 2001. The Regulations redefine the valuation approach for determining market value and states that ‘in the case of land where part of a land is acquired and when its value as a separate entity deems to realize a value proportionately lower than the Market Value of the main land the compensation should be proportionate to the value of the main land’. The Regulations also provides additional compensation beyond ‘market value’ and incorporates compensation for injurious affection and severance (equivalent to the full cost of damage based on the market value of land acquired) and disturbances (in terms of Section 3.11, and based on the principle of ‘value to owner’ of the property affected as per the written claims submitted by the AP). The regulations also provide for payment of compensation to non-titleholders. 3.5 Land Acquisition (Payment of Compensation) Regulations of 2013 139. The Regulations of 2013 apply only for development projects which are designated as ‘specified projects’ by the Ministry of Lands and ratified by the Cabinet of Ministers and the Parliament of Sri Lanka. The Regulations provides for a comprehensive compensation package following land acquisition. SCDP has been recognized as a “specified project” by Cabinet Paper Ref. No. 15/0773/614/022 dated 24th June 2015. The specified projects qualify to establish Land Acquisition and Resettlement Committees (LARC) in the Divisional Secretariat Divisions where the persons affected by land acquisition can make their representations. Affected parties also have the opportunity to appear before the LARC proceedings and those dissatisfied with LARC decisions on compensation may appeal to the Super LARC established at the national level. 140. The LARC system provides a mechanism for the parties affected by land acquisition to appeal for a higher compensation if they were dissatisfied with the statutory compensation paid to them under the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 and LAR 2008. The LAA of 1950 provides only a limited appeal process for aggrieved parties through the Land Acquisition Review Board (LARB) which is hardly accessible to many affected parties (APs) particularly the poor and vulnerable due to cost and time. Instead, the LARC established at divisional secretariat level and chaired by the divisional secretary is easily accessible to APs where he/she will be given an opportunity to make their representations during LARC proceedings. Participation in LARC proceedings has a minimum cost to the APs and he/she can present their grievances and needs before the LARC committee. The LARC is constituted by the Divisional Secretary or Assistant Divisional Secretary of the relevant Divisional Secretary’s Division, the Surveyor General or his nominee, the Chief Valuer or his nominee and an officer not below the rank of the Assistant 58 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Secretary nominated by the Minister to whom the subject of the respective Specified Project has been assigned. LARC offers an ex-gratia package of compensation which among others include compensation for land, encroached state land, buildings and structures, rent controlled premises under the Rent Act, loss of business and livelihoods, allowances for vulnerable families, loss of wages and employment, ex-gratia payments for handing over possession of property before the deadline, payments for relocation and self-relocation etc. 141. APs who are dissatisfied with the decisions of LARC can appeal to the Super LARC established at national level and constituted by LAR 2013. The super LARC shall consist of the following members appointed by the Minister: (a) The Secretary of the Ministry of the Minister to whom the respective subject of the Specified Project is assigned or his representative; (b) The Secretary of the Ministry of the Minister to whom the subject of Land and Land Development is assigned or his representative; (c) The Secretary of the Ministry of the Minister to whom the subject of Finance is assigned or his representative; (d) The Chief Valuer or his representative; (e) The Survey General or his representative; (f) The Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the respective Specified Project or a representative nominated by him 3.6 National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of 2001 142. The National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001 principled on human and ethical considerations entails the payment of replacement cost to the persons affected by land acquisition and arranges for their resettlement and where necessary even their rehabilitation. NIRP was a significant milestone in the development of a systematic approach to addressing resettlement issues in Sri Lanka. The policy ensures that (i) project affected persons are adequately compensated, relocated and rehabilitated; (ii) delays in project implementation and cost overruns are reduced; and (iii) better community relations are restored. It aims at ensuring that people affected by development projects are treated in a fair and equitable manner, and ensuring that they are not impoverished in the process. The policy also enables establishing the framework for project planning and implementation that would meet international best practices in involuntary resettlement through preparation and formal acceptance of a comprehensive Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) where 20 or more families are affected. Even when the number of affected families is less than 20, the compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement processes must be arranged through a resettlement planning document of a lesser magnitude to be assessed and approved by the relevant agencies. The responsibility for reviewing and approving RAPs is vested with the Ministry of Lands. 143. The policy objectives of NIRP are stated as follows; ▪ Avoid, minimize and mitigate negative impacts of involuntary resettlement by facilitating the reestablishment of the affected people on a productive and self- sustaining basis. Ensure that people adversely affected by development projects are fully and promptly compensated and successfully resettled. The livelihoods of 59 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT the displaced persons should be reestablished and the standard of living improved. ▪ Ensure that no impoverishment of people shall result as a consequence of compulsory land acquisition by the State for development purposes. ▪ Assist adversely affected persons in dealing with the psychological, cultural, social and other impacts caused by compulsory land acquisition. ▪ Make all affected persons aware of processes, available for the redress of grievances that are easily accessible and immediately responsive. ▪ Have in place a consultative, transparent and accountable involuntary resettlement process with a time frame agreed to by the Project Executing Agency and the affected persons. 144. The main principles of NIRP are as follows: • Involuntary resettlement should be avoided as much as possible by reviewing alternatives to the project as well as alternatives within the project. • Where involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, affected persons should be assisted to re-establish themselves and improve their quality of life. • Gender equality and equity should be ensured and adhered to throughout. • Affected persons should be fully involved in the selection of relocation sites, livelihood compensation and development options at the earliest opportunity. • Replacement land should be an option for compensation in the case of loss of land; and in the absence of replacement land cash compensation should be an option for all affected persons. • Compensation for loss of land, structures, other assets and income should be based on full replacement cost and should be paid promptly. This should include transaction costs. • Resettlement should be planned and implemented with full participation of the provincial and local authorities. • Participatory measures should be designed and implemented to assist those economically and socially affected to be integrated into the host communities. • Common property resources and community and public services should be provided to affected persons. • Resettlement should be planned as a development activity for the affected persons. • Affected persons who do not have title deeds to land should receive fair and just treatment. • Vulnerable groups should be identified and given appropriate assistance to improve their living standards. • Project Executing Agencies should bear the full costs of compensation and resettlement. 60 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 3.7 Involuntary Resettlement Policy of the World Bank (OP/BP 4.12) 145. The Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP 4.12) is the Bank’s key safeguards framework that guides land acquisition and addressing resettlement impacts of the Bank-funded development projects. The policy guides the project partner agencies in screening the projects for social impacts in conformity with applicable national laws and regulations and the Bank’s safeguard policies. 146. The World Bank’s operational policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) seeks to: (a) avoid where feasible or minimize involuntary resettlement, exploring all viable alternative project designs; (b) if not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programmes providing sufficient resources to enable the displaced persons to share in project benefits; (c) ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (d) meaningfully consult the displaced persons and provide them with opportunities to participate in the planning and implementation of resettlement programmes; (e) assist the displaced persons in their efforts to improve their standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. 147. The policy covers both direct economic and social impacts that are caused by involuntary taking of land, resulting in (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) loss of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihoods, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location; or (iv) the involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons. 148. In order to address the above impacts, the policy requires the borrower to prepare a resettlement plan that includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are (i) informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (ii) consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and (iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. 149. If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan should include measures to ensure that displaced persons are (i) provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and (ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors are at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. Furthermore, they should be offered (i) support for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihoods and standards of living; and (ii) development assistance in addition to compensation measures such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. Particular attention should be paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation. 61 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 150. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. 151. Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (i) livelihoods are land based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; (ii) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (iii) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets. 152. The policy also requires that compensation and other assistance required for relocation be completed, prior to displacement and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and, where applicable, resettlement sites and moving allowances have been provided to the displaced persons. 153. Displaced persons eligible for compensation would include (i) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); (ii) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets – provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and (iii) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3.8 Entitlement Assessment Committee 154. The legitimate body for determining compensation for persons affected by land acquisitions under LAA is the Chief Valuer of the Valuation Department. The Land Acquisition Regulations of 2013 empower the LARC or Super LARC to determine ex-gratia payments to persons dissatisfied with statutory compensation determined by the Chief Valuer. Both these institutional mechanisms will apply for land acquisitions in KMTT. However, the legal framework does not institute an agency to determine compensation for non-land economic displacements. In the circumstances, this vacuum will be filled by the Entitlement Assessment Committee (EAC) established for SCDP and incorporated into its RPF and approved by the World Bank in January 2016 and the Cabinet of Ministers in August 1, 2017. 155. The EAC performs the following functions; • Determining ex-gratia benefits and other R&R assistance not covered by existing laws and regulations • Fixing maintenance and management fees payable by APs for transitional/alternative houses/business structures • Determining premium payable by APs for alternative houses/business structures • Approving assessment of damage or injurious effects caused by civil works for the purpose of compensating such impacts 62 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 156. EAC comprises the Project Director, Strategic Cities Development Project, Deputy Project Director (in-charge of social development), Strategic Cities Development Project, a representative from the Ministry of Land, a representative of the Valuation Department, a representative of the relevant Project Partner Agency (PPA), a Member representing the civil society (to be nominated by the respective Divisional Secretary of Project Implementation Area) 157. The EAC is guided by the entitlement parameters set in the Entitlement Matrix of SCDP’s RPF in the process of determining compensation for project affected persons. However, in the case of KMTT, EAC will be mainly guided by a Special Entitlement Matrix incorporated into the RAP and approved by the World Bank and the Cabinet of Ministers. The need for an Entitlement Matrix, specific to KMTT was triggered by the absence of adequate provisions in the existing Entitlement Matrix of the RPF to address all resettlement impacts causing from non-land economic displacements. The EAC will be assisted by a team of technical experts such as licensed valuers and charted quantity surveyors etc. in the assessment of monetary value of the APs’ assets. 3.9 Gaps between Country and World Bank Safeguards Requirements 158. Sri Lanka has developed an elaborate legal system to manage land acquisition for development purposes. However, where property and livelihoods of non-title holders are concerned, the legal provisions are less elaborate but policy guidelines have been established to address the gaps. Sri Lanka also has a detailed system for valuation of properties, both in specialized and non-specialized categories involving different methods. The NIRP and the Land Acquisition Regulations of 2008 and 2013 seek to address gaps bringing the process closer to the Bank’s safeguards polices on involuntary land acquisitions and resettlement. For example, the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) provides for compensation for land, structures and crops, and does not address resettlement issues, including impacts on non-titleholders. NIRP provides for addressing resettlement and rehabilitation issues including payment of compensation at replacement cost irrespective of the legal status of the affected party. A key weakness of NIRP is that it is a statement of policy rather than a code of legal provisions guiding and regulating the resettlement process. 159. The LAA also does not provide clear guidelines directing the project executing agencies (EAs) to address key resettlement planning and implementation issues such as (a) exploring alternative project options to avoid or minimize impacts on people; (b) compensating the non- titled persons who will be affected by a project but are currently using and dependent on land; (c) consulting affected persons and resettlement hosts on resettlement options; (d) providing for successful social and economic integration of the affected persons into the host communities, and (e) rehabilitating affected persons along with income restoration measures. On the other hand, resettlement impacts of KMTT on the majority of the persons are non-land economic displacements caused due to clearance of crown land for KMTT construction and access restrictions during civil works. The entitlements provided for in the land acquisition regulations of 2008 and 2013 are exclusively for persons affected by involuntary land acquisitions and 63 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT neither the regulations nor the LARC have the provisions to determine entitlements and compensation for persons affected by non-land economic displacements. In the circumstances, this void in the legal framework, which is further elaborated in the RPF for SCDP, will be filled by the involuntary resettlement policies of the GOSL reflected in the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) of 2001 and Involuntary Resettlement Policy OP 4.12 of the World Bank which are also embedded in the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) of SCDP. All entitlements and compensation for persons affected by land and non-land economic displacements in KMTT, will be guided by those two policies, as detailed in the RPF prepared under SCDP, and based on the principle of replacement cost for all losses caused to the APs. 160. In order to address these gaps, the RPF of SCDP provides an entitlement matrix and specific guidelines for dealing with involuntary resettlement related issues and mitigation of associated risks in compliance with the Bank’s OP 4.12. On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, legal provisions for dealing with resettlement impacts causing from non-land economic displacements are rather limited and hence they will have to be addressed through a project- based Resettlement Action Plan. Table 33 presents a comparative analysis of the safeguards provisions in GOSL’s legal and policy framework and the safeguards poli cies of the World Bank, and a set of measures to address the policy compliances.

ELIGIBILITY AND ENTITLEMENTS 4.1 Introduction 161. The Strategic Cities Development Project will provide cash compensation at replacement cost as well as other rehabilitation and restoration assistance (R&R) to persons affected by the Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT) project. As described in chapter 2, the affected persons will include both legal titleholders, and non-titleholders, and the latter constitutes the majority. The legal titleholders are the landowners/claimants affected by land acquisitions for KMTT, and the private business operators whose commercial activities are located outside the immediate boundary of the KMTT project area. These private business operators will be temporarily affected during the KMTT construction period, which at present is expected to be three years. These private business operators, though outside of the KMTT footprint area, are largely dependent on commuters of the GSBS. They will not be able to continue their business activities starting with the shifting of current bus operations at GSBS to transitional sites and the closure of the area for civil construction work—the latter will also mean restriction of access to these businesses to general public. The non-titleholders affected by KMTT include a variety of leaseholders and tenants engaged in commercial business activities within GSBS11, their employees, a group of mobile vendors and three-wheel taxi operators who are dependent on the land earmarked for KMTT. They will permanently lose their livelihoods and incomes. 162. The land earmarked for KMTT will also affect the residential and resting quarters of the staff of Sri Lanka Railways requiring their temporary relocation and subsequently their resettlement in a newly built residential complex. The project will also affect the incomes of some of the persons who operate public utilities for their livelihood activities in one of the transitional sites planned for bus operations as well as one person in GSBS. The project also requires the relocation of four other commercial buildings belonging to different government agencies. SCDP is in the process of negotiating with these government agencies on their relocation at alternate sites. However, such relocation will not cause any displacement of the employees serving these commercial establishments. 4.2 Eligibility 163. The number of persons to be affected by the involuntary land acquisitions is only two and they will be compensated as per the Entitlement Matrix prepared in accordance with the RPF prepared under SCDP and as per the provisions in the legal and regulatory framework of Sri Lanka which are reflected in the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950, and the Land Acquisition Regulations of 2013. The adverse resettlement impacts on the majority of persons, estimated at 11 Eventhogh KMC leaseholder business operators, SLR leaseholder business operators and Idakada occupants have legal agreements with the respective agencies, they are considerd as non-tittleholders because they do not have the ownership of the land where the business structures are located. 67 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 820, arise from non-land based acquisitions and are caused by the clearance of the crown land held by different government agencies for the construction of KMTT and its transitional sites. The legal and regulatory framework of Sri Lanka does not make adequate provisions to recognize the economic displacements of non-titleholders caused by non-land based acquisitions and their rights to compensation. Thus, this gap is addressed through this resettlement action plan which includes compensation and/or rehabilitation and restoration assistance to all persons affected by the project irrespective of their ownership title. The compensation and assistance provided is envisaged to offset losses and enable improvement (or at least restoration) of living conditions to a state better or equal to the pre-project situation. Furthermore, SCDP will seek special approval from the Cabinet of Ministers for the entitlement matrix and the resettlement budget included in the RAP, once the document is cleared by the World Bank. 4.3 Cut-off Date 164. All affected persons who are identified in the project-impacted area on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their affected assets, and rehabilitation measures. The cut- off date will be the date of issuing of Section 2 notice under the LAA by the Ministry of Land and/or 7th December 2017, which is the start date of the census of the affected non-titleholders and titleholders conducted based on the conceptual design of KMTT. Those who encroach into the subproject area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to receive compensation and/or any other assistance. The project site is being regularly monitored by SCDP to prevent any intrusion of people after the declared cut-off date. In this regard, SCDP has reached mutual understanding with KMC to avoid the latter recognizing or issuing any licenses to the intruders to the proposed KMTT site. 4.4 Entitlement Matrix 165. This chapter presents the entitlement matrix, prepared in accordance with the RPF for SCDP and includes compensation and other R & R assistance for different losses of the affected persons depending on the type and scope of the losses, its impact, the status of ownership to the affected assets, and the social and economic vulnerability of the affected persons. The entitlements and their associated compensation packages have specifically taken into consideration the: (i) loss of business premises; (ii) loss of APs’ investments on their business activities including remaining stocks; (iii) loss of customer base; (iv) loss of incomes; (v) availability and costs of finding alternate business premises within Kandy municipal area or outside; and (vi) potential to replicate the same businesses or similar employment elsewhere. 166. As per the Entitlement Matrix, private land acquired for the project as well as the business structures and their associated facilities, investments on structural improvements and moveable properties and income losses by the project, will be compensated at replacement cost. Resettlement interventions including payment of compensation for other non-titleholders will be guided by the RAP and the Entitlement Matrix provided herein. Wherever possible, documentary evidence in support of the APs’ ownership and tenurial rights to commercial structures, and their monetary investments and incomes will be sought and screened by Entitlement Verification Committee (EVC) comprising staff members of SCDP prior to their 68 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT submission to Entitlement Assessment Committee (EAC). The EVC has a dual role. The first role is to give advance notice to APs to prepare their documentary evidence in support of their claims, before they appear for EAC inquiries, and to assist the APs to obtain any missing documents from relevant authorities such as KMC or SLR. The second role is to assist the EAC by presenting a set of vetted documents, so that on one hand, the time that EAC spends on document verification can be reduced while on the other hand, possible rejection of documents submitted by APs can be minimized. It is expected that this role of the EVC can help accelerate the compensation payment process to the APs. Additionally, the APs will be required to submit their income details ascertained by the divisional secretary, who is also the competent authority at divisional level for certifying the revenues. 167. The main thrust of the entitlement matrix is to ensure that APs are provided compensation at replacement cost to restore and improve their lost livelihoods and incomes irrespective of the title they hold to their business premises, different scales of business operations and the different volumes of incomes that they generate from their businesses. Thus, the entitlement matrix strives to retain equity in the provision of compensation and other assistance across the different AP categories to ensure that APs receive a fair share of compensation to restore their lost assets and incomes. 168. Furthermore, in order to ascertain an objective and balanced assessment of APs’ entitlements to compensation, EAC will apply a set of verifiable criteria together with a rating scale as described in Table 34. The set of criteria that would be used for evaluation of APs entitlements will include APs’ (i) ownership/tenurial rights to his/her business premises structure; (ii) occupancy period of the business premises; (iii) floor area of the commercial structure; (iv) type/condition of the commercial structure; and (v) income generated by the business. A scoring scale of up to a total of 10 points will be applied across the five criteria, taking into consideration the relative importance of each criterion for the restoration and improvement of livelihoods and incomes of the APs. The scoring was prepared following consultations with relevant stakeholders, including the APs. 169. The overall score received by individual APs will determine the proportional share of the business relocation grants that would be provided to individual APs. Moreover, the APs will be required to prepare a short business plan with support from the livelihood development team as part of receiving the livelihood restoration grant. This grant will be paid above and beyond the compensation paid for the relocation of the businesses. 69 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 34: Criteria for determining the business relocation grants for APs and the weightage assigned to each criteria No Criteria Maximum Sub-criteria Weightage Justification weightage assigned to sub-criteria 1.

The project will also facilitate the temporary relocation of mobile vendors, three-wheel taxi operators and persons who operate public utilities for their livelihood activities in order to avoid/minimize adverse impacts on their livelihoods and incomes and to ensure the continuity of their livelihoods. Furthermore, a comprehensive livelihood restoration plan (LRP) will be implemented by SCDP to support and assist the APs in the restoration and improvement of the affected livelihoods and incomes and to build up their skills and capacities enabling their graduation to a higher level of business operations (described in chapter 6). 171. The persons affected by land acquisitions will be compensated as per the provisions in the RPF for SCDP, LAA of 1950 and LAR 2013 and through the prescribed institutional arrangements. The compensation and other R&R assistance eligible for non-titleholders will be determined by the Entitlement Assessment Committee (EAC) established for SCDP and approved by the Cabinet of Ministers on August 1, 2017 (described in chapter 3). All entitlements for compensation will be paid to the affected persons prior to their displacement/relocation and handing over the construction site to the contractor. Moreover, as the business activities at GSBS are largely dependent on the commuter population for their incomes, bus operations at GSBS will not be shifted to the transitional sites until full compensation is paid to the APs. 70 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 172. The entitlement matrix was prepared taking into consideration the provisions in the national regulatory framework of Sri Lanka and in compliance with WB’s OP 4.12 on involuntary resettlement and the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP). The good practices that Sri Lanka followed in externally funded development projects that involved involuntary resettlement impacts have also been incorporated into the entitlement matrix. If the entitlement matrix has not covered any particular impact or the valuation rates set in the resettlement plan do not correspond to the replacement cost, the entitlement matrix will be updated to include the entitlements that have not been covered and to adjust the rates to match the replacement cost. However, the entitlement matrix and the entitlements itself, will not be downgraded. In the event of any changes effected to the entitlement matrix, the RAP will be revised and updated and re-submitted for clearance by the WB. 173. The entitlement matrix (Table 35) includes the main categories of APs and the corresponding entitlements in accordance with the policies and legal framework of GoSL, WB’s safeguard policies, and the RPF prepared under SCDP.

CONSULTATIONS AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 5.1 Introduction 175. Information sharing about the project with all affected parties, stakeholder consultations and dialogue between key players of the project and their partners as well as with the communities played an important role in project planning in general and preparation of the RAP, in particular. This chapter describes the processes involved, key issues raised at various levels and modifications made to the project design in response to public views, concerns and requests. The project relied on a number of strategies for identification of APs, soliciting their views and opinions and securing their participation in project planning and implementation. 5.2 Objectives 176. The overall objectives of the consultations under KMTT were as follows: I. Information disclosure about the project, its interventions, possible benefits and impacts to potential project affected persons in particular. II. Securing public and stakeholder opinions towards enhancing the project benefits and minimizing its adverse impacts on APs. III. Involving the APs on resettlement planning, including the type and volume of compensation expected, livelihood options and nature and extent of assistance in order to restore their livelihoods following the economic displacement from GSBS. 5.3 Strategies adopted for consultations with the stakeholders and affected persons in the KMTT Project I. Person-to-person meetings with occupants in all structures within and bordering KMTT and other sites affected by the project and any outside claimants to these structures, also checking applicable records in KMC in this process. II. Establishing project impacts through census and survey processes described in Chapter Two. III. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with different clusters of affected persons in order to share information about the project, how it may affect the relevant group in terms of losses and livelihood and resettlement impacts and solicit their specific views, responses and plans for resettlement. IV. Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with key players in the partner organizations such as KMC, SLR, CPRPTA and SLTB and with leaders of organizations representing various categories of APs. 80 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT V. Dissemination of information through information sheets compiled by SCDP and presentations by the SCDP staff at public fora convened by SCDP and partner organizations. VI. Facilitation of voluntary information seeking by APs and other interested parties by establishing an Information Cell in a central location within the railway premises, regular presence of members of the social team of SCDP in key places in GSBS and other project locations and prior announcements of these information sources at person to person meetings and FGDs. 5.4 Consultation process 177. The initial consultations focused on person-to-person meetings with APs in order to establish contacts, raise their awareness about the project and its implementation plans inclusive of steps involved in survey processes, consultation procedures and assessment of project impacts. In the following round of consultations, key informant interviews were conducted with the key stakeholders and focus group discussions were held with selected clusters of APs with potentially similar project impacts and potentially similar livelihood plans, including possible joint activities in terms of livelihood restoration. In the third round of consultations, specific attention was given to vulnerable groups and groups requiring special attention such as those with access difficulties during the construction of KMTT in order to make sure that their needs and concerns are satisfactorily addressed in the resettlement planning process. 178. Person- to-person meetings with project affected persons and public consultations with smaller groups of people sharing common interests (e.g. mobile vendors involved in related trades, people in Samagi Mawatha whose road access is likely to be disturbed during the construction of KMTT) were conducted as an essential tool of the project planning process in relation to KMTT. 179. This chapter describes the consultation and participation processes during various stages of project planning and the outcomes of these participatory exercises at the time of preparation of RAP. Stakeholders are broadly defined in this document to include project beneficiaries, project affected persons, as well as potential partners in project planning, implementation and administration. 180. The consultation processes in the project began in November 2017 and are expected to continue throughout the project cycle. The consultation processes contributing towards the completion of the RAP can be broadly divided into six activities some of which took place concurrently. • Initial trust building activities: This phase lasted from November 10 to 24, 2017. The primary objective of this phase was to introduce the project to APs and build a rapport between the project team and APs. • Opening up of an information centre in a cabin established in the car park of the Kandy Railway Station, within easy reach from GSBS and other transport hubs in Kandy on 18 th 81 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT December 2018 enabling any stakeholder, AP or interested public to seek information about KMTT from a SCDP staff stationed there throughout the day. • FGDs with different categories of APs in order to explain the project design, schedule of project activities, explore their livelihood plans and respond to any of their queries about the project. These FGDs were conducted from February 1 to March 31, 2018. • KIIs and group discussions with Project Partners including KMC, CPRPTA, UDA and SLR. • Community Consultations regarding transitional arrangements for GSBS bus operations during the construction period of KMTT. • A sample survey of commuters regarding their experiences with GSBS and views about KMTT and related developments in Kandy. 5.5 Initial Trust Building Activities 181. These were conducted in three successive steps one leading to the next as presented in the next sections. 5.6 Step 1: Initial briefing to individual APs 182. This was conducted side by side with the inventory survey. All commercial and residential units within the technical boundary of KMTT and adjoining areas specified in chapter 2 were visited by a SCDP social team, usually consisting of a male and a female staff member for an initial briefing about the project lasting from 10 to 15 minutes. This initial consultation involved the following activities: • Establishing rapport with APs • Introduction about SCDP • A conversation about traffic congestion in Kandy and the need for long-term solution • A brief introduction about KMTT • Exploration of the APs’ preliminary impressions about the project and information needs 183. Under the inventory survey conducted concurrently with this initial consultation, basic information about the structure, ownership details, and information about the occupants was taken and it served as a benchmark for follow up action. A sketch drawing showing structures within each zone was prepared as a baseline for the GIS mapping process. 5.6.1 Establishment of person-to-person contacts between project staff and APs through Initial consultations 184. A total of 276 commercial/residential units were visited and 321 persons comprising 278 males and 53 female were consulted in the initial consultations as spelled out in Table 37. 82 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Table 37: Number of Commercial and Residential Units Visited in the Initial Consultations by Impact Area and Zone No of Persons No of Units Impact area Zone consulted Visited Male Female Total Inside Technical Boundary (ITB) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 10 166 164 28 182 Immediate Buffer Zone 8 and part of 9 54 58 8 66 bordering KMTT (IBZ) Indirect Impact Area Adjoining Units in between Immediate Buffer 56 56 17 73 Immediate Buffer Zone (IIA) Zone and Old Peradeniya Road TOTAL 276 278 53 321 185. These initial trust building activities were geared to identify and enumerate all project affected persons, their common interests and concerns as well as location or category-specific information needs and lines of communication. Those inside the technical boundary (ITB) were obviously more concerned about how the project will impact their livelihoods and whether they will receive another shop within or outside KMTT and if not, the extent of compensation they will receive for the losses incurred. Those in the immediate buffer zone (IBZ) were directly concerned about access and related livelihood difficulties they would encounter during the process of construction of KMTT and the long-term impact of KMTT on their livelihoods and property values would be. Those in the indirect impact area (IIA) such as shop operators in Peradeniya Road and residents in nearby neighbourhoods were visited but not enumerated as part of the baseline information gathering, primarily saw themselves as indirect beneficiaries of the project because of possible infrastructural improvements and related impacts on property values. At this stage, these individuals who were to be indirectly affected had no assessment of possible indirect impacts of construction work such as noise, dust and large-scale mobilization of construction workers. 5.6.2 Initial findings and reflections 186. Most APs recognized that traffic congestion as a severe problem in Kandy town, affecting their own lives and the lives of their family members including the school going children. Most APs heavily rely on public transport themselves with shop assistants and some of the business operators relying on public transport to commute to GSBS and back. Accordingly, they supported the plans to improve public transport services in Kandy. However, initially it was unclear to them how and in what ways KMTT would contribute to the reduction of traffic problem. They had heard about a “Goods Shed Bus Stand Improvement Project” from diverse sources but they did not know what was involved in this project and its connection to the traffic problem in Kandy. Further, some of them identified the project as another political gimmick manipulated by local and national level politicians for their own political gains. Some initially thought that the consultation process itself was part of political propaganda connected with the upcoming local government elections. The consultation teams tried to counter these preconceived perceptions about the project and highlighted its value as a scheme for relieving city traffic and improving the quality of public transport in Kandy. 187. As for variation among APs in regard to their initial responses, shop operators and occupants within the technical boundary were worried about their future as they did not get any 83 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT reliable information earlier. Most of them wanted to know if they would get an alternative shop within KMTT or elsewhere following their displacement from GSBS. The consultation teams reiterated that the chances of APs securing replacement shops in KMTT are remote with shops earmarked for specific functions such as food courts being allocated to the highest bidders with a proven track record in the relevant enterprises. Further, it was stated that while the APs are certainly entitled to participate in the bidding process, the shops in KMTT are unlikely to be passed on to APs as part of their entitlement. The APs were informed that they are entitled for compensation based on their loss of income and loss of investments with a view to help them restore their livelihoods. They were informed that the project will have a continuous dialogue with them about the next steps of the project and a livelihood restoration plan that would be initiated as part of the resettlement plan. 188. APs in the IBZ too were concerned about how they would be affected by the closure of the bus stand and construction work connected with KMTT. They supported the idea of a new transport terminal at their door step but at this stage, they had no idea about how their businesses will be affected during and after the construction of KMTT. They were told that they would be given more information about the project design following these initial consultations. 189. Property owners and business operators in the IIA were more enthusiastic about the proposed development possibly due to the absence of project-related losses to their property and the expectation that their property values will increase and that they will benefit from anticipated transport improvements as a result of the project. As the nature, type and volume of business operations were typically much higher and more diversified in the IIA compared to those within the GSBS, their expectations from the project were different and perhaps more in line with expectations of the community at large. 5.7 Step 2 – Information Disclosure 190. These consultations aimed at information disclosure to APs within the ITB and IBZ. During the consultation process, 174 units in ITB and 46 units in IBZ were visited totaling 220 units. Total number of persons consulted was 251 covering 21 females and 230 males. The purpose of this follow up consultation was to provide information about the project to APs; get their feedback and views about the information supplied and garner support for the proposed development activities. This exercise prepared and primed the APs to express their views, ideas and concerns about the project without any inhibition. 191. A printed leaflet covering the following information was given to each AP at the beginning of this consultation (Annex 04: Information Leaflet); • Information about the SCDP • Partnership arrangement of the Project • Funding source • Time frame for project implementation • A brief account of the transitional arrangements and • Contact information 84 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 192. In these person-to-person encounters, the purpose of and the need for collecting accurate information from affected persons, establishing a valid database, the importance of a continuous dialogue with the APs and the project steps and timeframes, were explained to the business operators and occupants of the structures. The same team that conducted the initial consultation in the relevant premise was deployed for the second round of consultation to the extent possible. This consultation allowed the APs to ask more questions and clarify their doubts about the project. Table 38: Number of Commercial and Residential Units in GSBS Visited in the Second Round of Consultations by Impact Area and Zone No of Building No of Persons consulted Impact area Zone Units Visited Male Female Total Inside Technical Boundary (ITB) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 10 17424 178 15 193 Immediate Buffer Zone 8 and part of 9 46 52 6 58 Bordering KMTT (IBZ) TOTAL 220 230 21 251 5.7.1 Findings and reflections 193. At this stage, APs asked more questions and participation in the discussions were lively in most instances. The consultation teams made the following observations in their reports: • A section of APs started to think about livelihood options • APs’ awareness about the project and its possible impact increased • APs gradually developed a trust in project implementation agencies including SCDP • APs developed a rapport with the social team in the project and started asking questions about the start date of construction work, when the PAPs would be required to surrender their buildings or stop their operations due to blocking of their access by construction work and also increasingly, concerns about compensation that the APs would be entitled to. 194. The main concern of business operators within the KMTT foot print was to find an alternative venue to continue their business operations. Most of the business operators visited in the second round too requested an alternative shop in lieu of the present shop. It was revealed that there was some de facto transfer of tenure in the case of some KMC shops even though there was no legal basis for such transactions. The operators in the block 6 and 7 coming under Idakada Lekanya (A List of vendors identified as commercial users of space in a specified area in GSBS without any entitlement to land so occupied in KMC records) have been occupying their premises for many years without possessing any documents to support their claims. They asked the team if their rights will be given due recognition in assessing the project impacts. The team responded by saying that the rights of non-titleholders as well as title holders will be equally recognized while assessing project impact and the nature of their entitlements will be determined as part of the resettlement planning process. 24 This includes the mobile vendors operating inside bus shelters as well. 85 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 195. Some of the business houses, located in front of bus parks serving specific bus routes, were keen to know about the specifics of the transitional arrangements in order to plan their future activities. The social team involved in this exercise felt it is necessary to update their knowledge on the technical design and transitional arrangements before proceeding to the next level of consultations. 5.8 Step 3 – Consultations prior to Census Survey 196. The main objective of this consultation was to prepare the APs for the Census Surveys to be administered following the stipulated cut-off period. An official letter informing about the census surveys and cut-off period (December 7, 2017) was personally handed over to all APs in the main impact area and IBZ (Annex 05: Letter to announce the cut-off- date). The letter highlighted the purpose of the census surveys. The team that engaged in the initial consultations was used for this information sharing too in order to facilitate the trust building process. 197. A meeting with the leaders of the vendor association was held in order to make them aware of the project activities including the census process. In addition, the frequent presence of project team in the field facilitated information flows to the community and enabled the APs to seek clarifications on specific issues related to the implementation of the project such as timing of the commencement of construction activities. 198. Many of the missing persons in each group were contacted through follow up visits. While census taking itself was not part of the consultation process, at times queries were made by the respondents about the future steps involved and where they could not be answered immediately they were requested to participate in the future rounds of consultations and raise them at those meetings. 5.9 Opening of an Information Cell 199. An information cell was established in the railway station car park within walking distance from GSBS on 18th December 2017. The primary objective of this information cell is to disseminate information about the project among APs and interested public. Open from 9am to 4pm on week days except on public holidays (Annex 06: Pictorial Presentation of Consultation Process and Census), the cell also serves as the field office of the SIA team. In the field level consultations with APs, they were advised about the information cell and encouraged to visit the cell if they needed any additional information and if they had any grievances they wanted to record. Records are being maintained about each visit of persons whether it is for information seeking or grievance recording. 200. In spite of its space limitations and limited facilities available, the information cell has already become a vital link in between the community and the Project. Logistically also, the cell has facilitated the consultation processes conducted by the project. For instance, it served as a venue for FGDs with various categories of APs with minimum disturbances to their daily livelihood activities. 86 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 5.10 Beyond Trust Building: Engagements with different groups of APs and stakeholders 201. FGDs and KIIs were conducted in order to share information with specific groups and individuals, and consult with them on their specific needs and livelihood options. 5.11 Focus Group Discussions 202. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted by a team of two to three persons from the social team of the SCDP with a selection of APs from a particular category for a duration of one to 1 ½ hours with each focus group. The number of participants per FGD ranged from 5 to 12, with an average number of 8.2 participants per group. As evident from Table 39, separate FGDs were conducted with different AP categories in order to address their specific needs and concerns. The various categories of APs consulted consisted of business operators who run businesses in their own properties, business operators who conduct businesses in rented premises, business operators who are non-titled holders of the premises, rentiers (kadalabin), mobile vendors and shop assistants. Of the different categories of APs, KIIs and person-to-person interviews were arranged with three-wheel drivers in place of FGDs because of logistic difficulties in arranging FGDs with them due to their mobility and possible income loss due to participation in the pre-scheduled FGDs. Some FGDs were all male and others were mixed gender groups. One member of the social team recorded the discussion while the other two members facilitated the discussion. 203. The first round of FGDs conducted in February and March 2018 began with self- introductions by the team members and the participants, an introduction to SCDP and its activities in Kandy and description of KMTT by one of the team members using a sketch presenting an isometric view of KMTT. This was followed by a question and answer session where participants were given an opportunity to ask questions about the project design and its implementation. This was followed by a short discussion about the impact of the project on the respective category of APs while also exploring their entitlements, expectations from the project and livelihood options. Finally, the different categories of APs were given a chance to seek clarifications and ask any follow-up questions.

The lists of participants in the FGDs are given in Annex 07: List of Participants for Consultations. 87 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 5.11.1 Key findings of the first round of FGDs 205. The first round of FGDs with APs from GSBS resulted in dissemination of information about the project and sharing of their concerns and expectations with the project staff. The resulting findings can be categorized under several headings. 5.12 Endorsement of the project by PAPs 206. All participants representing different AP categories agreed with the issue of traffic congestion in the Kandy city center and the importance of finding remedies for this problem. KMTT was identified as a potentially useful intervention for mitigating the problem and improving the role and contribution of public transport. The effort on the part of the project to consult the APs and community in general were highly appreciated as well. 5.13 Willingness to move 207. APs are aware that they will be required to move from the existing locations in order to clear the site for construction. However, they pointed to the necessity to inform them in advance in order to settle their financial transactions, loans and to reduce stocks. During the discussions, APs requested 3 months’ advance notice prior to their relocation and the project agreed on the time frame proposed by APs. 5.14 Sense of entitlements and expectations 208. The sense of entitlements and expectations from the project varied according to the category of AP, current legal status within the GSBS (for instance, if they have a formal tenancy agreement with KMC), duration of occupation and extent of investments by the rentiers and business operators. On the whole, rentiers and business operators with a direct legal agreement with KMC felt that they had a higher claim over the premises compared to business operators in rented premises. Therefore, the rentiers, especially long-term lease holders in Zone 5 were among those who demanded ‘a shop to shop’ (kadayata kadayak) more vigorously. However, this position gradually changed as the project staff explained the situation in regard to allocation of commercial spaces in KMTT. Almost all rentiers and many business operators felt that they should be given priority during the allocation of shops in KMTT even after they were informed that allocation of business premises in KMTT will be through an open bidding process conducted by a new KMTT management structure. Some rentiers and most business operators also insisted that there should not be any political interference in the allocation of business premises in KMTT. The business operators in IBZ were generally more concerned about access difficulties during the construction period, potential loss of their client base due to the construction of KMTT and ways and means of aligning their future operations with any opportunities provided by KMTT. 209. With no prospects for continuing their current occupations in KMTT, the mobile vendors and shop assistants were willing to settle for a reasonable compensation and look for same occupation elsewhere in the town or alternative livelihoods, including self-employment and paid 88 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT employment in alternative establishments. A section of the mobile vendors, however, thought that they would consider moving to transitional sites to continue as mobile vendors provided they are accepted by the CPRPTA and mobile vendors already functioning in these sites. The passenger movement in the transitional sites is expected to increase due to diversion of bus services currently operating from GSBS to these sites and stationary mobile vendors such as lottery sellers, betel sellers in particular felt that they would be able to relocate in the transitional sites until such time when they find alternative sites or alternative livelihoods. 210. The host community vendors who were operating from Clock Tower and Torrington bus terminals, both earmarked for transitional sites during KMTT construction were consulted on the issue of the influx of vendors from GSBS. The vendors in both locations operated from a fixed place though they were recognized as mobile vendors.25 These host community vendors opined that they do not perceive major threats from the in-coming GSBS mobile vendors as long as the latter boarded the buses to sell their commodities (since the ones in the host community were operating from a fixed place). On the other hand, they also perceived a possible increase of commuters in their respective terminal sites along with the shifting of GSBS bus operations to transitional sites and an increase in the demand for the variety of goods they offer. SCDP will cautiously plan the relocation process of the vendors in transitional sites in coordination with CPRPTA to ensure that relocation process will not adversely affect the host community vendors. 211. Some of the mobile vendors (e.g. betel sellers, vade sellers and gram sellers) felt that they are too old to explore any alternative livelihood options or move into new ventures or new occupations. Most felt that the existing business venues in Kandy will not be available to absorb the large number of operators displaced simultaneously from GSBS and thought it would be better to look for opportunities in satellite towns and beyond in order to set up business operations or look for paid employment. A number of FGD participants emphasized that additional investments would be required to set up new businesses (e.g., ‘key money’, registration fees and approvals from authorities). In preparing the entitlement matrix for APs, this concern was addressed by including a business relocation grant. 5.15 Alternative livelihood options 212. Most APs felt that alternative livelihood opportunities in Kandy are limited. For business operators to be displaced from GSBS, the options available include unutilized KMC shops in the new market and in Keppitipola Mawatha, and in shopping centres that the KMC is planning to build. Many held the view that it would be difficult for those displaced from GSBS to access these sites unless there is an intervention on the part of the project to arrange priority access for them in these venues. Against this background, many operators and rentiers considered that possible access to the commercial venues to be established in KMTT as their only realistic chance to restore their livelihoods in the form of resettlement. In response, the SCDP decided to recommend the granting of some priority to APs in allocating new business premises in KMTT and in suitable locations in the Skywalk. Furthermore, under the livelihood restoration plan, 25 At Clock Tower Terminal, there were 3 lottery sellers, a newspaper seller, a betel seller and one who sold ornamental items all operating from small sheds or temporary huts. At Torrington Terminal, there were 2 lottery sellers, a betel seller and a wrist watch seller who too operated from small sheds or temporary huts. 89 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT SCDP will focus on linking the potential vendors with commercial banks and other financial institutions enabling them to access additional resources required for their livelihood restoration. 213. A considerable number of rentiers and business operators were ready to accept a reasonable compensation during the construction/transitional period and perhaps explore alternative investment or business opportunities in Kandy or nearby areas, but they preferred to acquire a shop in KMTT following the construction of the new transport terminal with priority allocation for them considering their long presence in GSBS, formal agreements with KMC in the case of rentiers whether or not they are current business operators as such. This view was much more firmly held by long-term lease holders from KMC even though their lease has not been renewed in recent years. Responding to the concern, the project plans to develop a mechanism whereby qualified APs will get a priority during the allocation of shops at KMTT without compromising the competitive bidding process. In addition, the design of the sky walk was altered in order to accommodate additional small shops that would be able to cater to the needs of APs as well as many passengers who will use the skyway to visit hospital and other service centres in Kandy. 214. The number of operators who had actively sought alternative livelihoods was rather limited at the time of the first round of FGDs. One operator running a bath kade (eating house serving rice meals) was actively seeking to start an innovative enterprise—establishing a mobile restaurant in a bus considering the large influx of daily visitors to Kandy. A rentier involved in the manufacture of herbal teas in Galle targeting tourists considered that it would be possible to extend this business to Kandy provided he had access to a suitable venue in KMTT or any other central place in Kandy. Some of the hotels in IBZ considered that it would be possible to provide meals or meal packets to construction workers and staff employed in the construction of KMTT during the construction period. On the whole, the number of APs with such innovative plans was limited but the social team felt that this number will increase once the business development consultants (under the livelihood restoration component) interact with them through a series of consultations about possible livelihood options. These needs and concerns of the APs were carefully assessed and included in the livelihood restoration strategy. 215. During the consultations, some mobile vendors claimed that they would like to embark on a suitable self-employment activity in their home areas, but the options they had in mind were limited to activities that they had heard from other people such as establishment of a dairy or poultry, retail shops or dress making without exploring market potential and sustainability as such. Many mobile vendors preferred to move to a transitional site as mobile vendor, at least as a short-term livelihood strategy. These livelihood options may or may not be viable as long- term strategies and they would need assistance and technical guidance in developing them as feasible activities as explained to APs by the social team. 216. Shop assistants displaced from GSBS will find it difficult to secure paid employment in similar establishments in Kandy due to stagnation in labour market and lack of any new employment opportunities. Possibilities may exist in the construction industry including construction work in KMTT and in services like security services, landscaping work and cleaning 90 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT services once KMTT is established even though they did not mention these avenues in the FGDs. Some shop assistants mentioned the possibility of going into self-employment using the money they receive from the project as compensation as start-up capital. While this may be a viable idea, as was communicated to them in FGDs, they would certainly need guidance, linkages with financial services and careful identification of niche markets and positioning within supply chains in order to survive effectively in self-employment. 217. In the FGDs different categories of APs raised specific issues that required the attention of the project and its partners. This section summarizes these issues, and responses given by SCDP with possible short-term and long-term remedies.

Except in the category of three-wheel operators, there are 94 women who are engaged in different livelihood activities in rest of the main AP categories. 219. The women who operated as business operators, mobile vendors and shop assistants expressed concerns over their personal security in the new relocation sites. They were of the view that GSBS provided and ensured their safety through the informal social security networks that they had been able to establish since their long presence in GSBS and interactions with 94 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT fellow vendors. Their displacements will disturb this security network since not all are going to be relocated in one single place. 220. Women also felt that their displacement would deprive them a readily available customer base of commuters in their new business locations. In GSBS, since their customer base is huge and diverse, it hardly posed any threats from their business competitors. 221. Women shop assistants feared that they will not be able to find alternate employment since they do not have many other skills. Female business operators and mobile vendors were concerned of losing their supply chains and access to informal financial resources which they generated through informal savings schemes and borrowings from fellow vendors at times of need.

Consultations were conducted with the revenue officer in KMC on two separate occasions and a meeting with the Commissioner of KMC and his staff was held on 6 th March 2018. The participants at these meetings are listed in Annex 07: Participants of Stakeholders Consultations. The objectives of these meetings were as follows: I. To check the validity of claims made by various categories of APs in GSBS II. To inform KMC officials of the results of the social impact assessment III. To identify any openings for APs in existing or proposed commercial centres under the authority of KMC 223. The KMC staff shared with the social team information they have about business operators in GSBS including the occupants in the Idakada site. It was indicated that the KMC 95 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT records have not been updated about any de facto transfer of shops from the original grantees and rental arrangements between kadalabin and actual business operators. While recognizing the adverse social and economic impact of KMTT on various categories of APs, the KMC staff believed that compensation payment to these APs including non-title holders will have the effect of encouraging encroachment on land held by KMC and other government agencies. The team explained to them the social safeguard policies of the government of Sri Lanka (e.g. NIRP), SCDP and the donor of KMTT, the World Bank. Moving forward, it would be necessary to have a more intensive engagement with key staff in KMC in order to have them fully accept the safeguard principles relevant to KMTT. 224. As for livelihood options available in KMC, they have already allocated all the shops in the Kandy Podu Welanda Sankirnaya near the Main Post Office in Kandy and also the Keppitipola Trade Complex in Keppitipola Mawatha. However, some allottees have not availed themselves of these business premises and run into arrears in regard to rent payment to KMC due to a variety of reasons. KMC is not willing to reallocate these premises among business operators displaced from GSBS due to possible legal complications and reactions from the existing grantees. However, the staff at KMC indicated that they would not be opposed to any interpersonal agreements between the shop grantees and business operators displaced from GSBS towards utilizing these valuable urban spaces for commercial development. KMC is also in the process of establishing a new commercial centre in old Peradeniya Road not far from GSBS. KMC looks at this facility as a more upscale commercial centre open to high end businesses in arts and crafts, jewelry and gems, travel industry etc. The social team did mention that some of the business operators in GSBS such as those operating mobile phone sales and services may be appropriate for this commercial centre. In any case this new facility is yet to be built and the project will continue the search for openings in this venue that may be relevant to businesses displaced from GSBS. 225. A meeting was held with Mr. Vasantha Navaratne, CEO of CPRPTA on 21 st March 2018 and a FGD was conducted with drivers and conductors of private buses on the same day. In this meeting, the project team explained the KMTT project to CPRPTA staff and private bus workers. The CPRPTA staff agreed to extend their full cooperation to KMTT plans, including the proposed transitional arrangements during the period of construction of KMTT. The private bus operators and drivers and conductors employed in privately owned buses are under the supervision of CPRPTA and CPRPTA was confident that it can secure the cooperation of these private bus operators for the proposed time tabling of busses during the transitional period. Further, they agreed to help some of the mobile vendors and three wheel operators displaced from GSBS due to construction of KMTT, to move to Bogambara transitional site, during the period of construction of KMTT. 226. During the FGD with bus crews operating private buses, they said that they supported the project wholeheartedly as they are themselves affected by the traffic problem. They also stressed the need to coordinate SLTB and private bus services so as to serve the commuters more effectively and distribute benefits in a fair manner. 96 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 227. RDA and SLR participated in several review meetings conducted by SCDP to assess the progress of KMTT work. Subsequently the social team met officials of the two organizations individually and checked on issues like utilization of land resources held by these organizations for establishing KMTT. SCDP has had many consultations with these two organizations in the past in trying to involve these two organizations as partners of KMTT project and in the proposed partnership structure that will manage the KMTT once it is built. A number of SLR buildings will be affected by KMTT construction work and social safeguard principles will come into operation in finding alternative residential facilities for SLR staff who will be displaced due to the project. Direct personal consultation with affected APs, however, was not possible at the time of preparing this report due to scheduling issues, hierarchical administrative structure in SLR and the agreement with the SLR that they will look after the interests of affected railway workers. 5.18 Consultations on Transitional Arrangements 228. Consultations regarding transitional arrangements consisted of consultations with commuters, bus operators and their crews and relevant authorities regarding the proposed transitional arrangements. These consultations resulted in shifting and rearrangement of bus services in various transitional sites not only in consideration of technical feasibility but also in line with the interests of and pattern of usage among the commuters. Further, suggestions made by the bus operators and transport workers based on their practical experiences, were also taken into consideration. Of the three transitional sites, Bogambara was the most complex as it is currently used as idle bus parking place. In order to clear the place for construction of the new transitional site, it became necessary to identify other sites for idle bus parking and here too suggestions for alternative locations by CPRPTA, KMC and other partners of the project became really useful. Information disclosure to commuters and bus operators was made at critical points in order to raise their awareness about transitional plans and get their inputs towards refining and field testing the transitional plans. 5.19 Commuter Consultations 229. Consultations with a cross-section of GSBS commuters were conducted through a commuter survey administered from March 1, 2018 to May 18, 2018. This survey covered a sample of 182 commuters from various categories such as school children, office workers, visitors to the town, shop workers and hospital visitors. The gender distribution of bus commuters was 48.4% women and 51.6% men. The objective of this consultation/survey was to assess the knowledge and views of the bus commuters about the current situation in GSBS, KMTT project and proposed transitional arrangements. The preliminary findings are as follows: • Most commuters identified traffic congestion as a severe problem affecting their daily lives. • They had limited knowledge about KMTT and transitional arrangements but when explained, most of them were convinced that this was a useful intervention. • Irregular nature of bus services and frequent disruption of bus schedules were identified as a major problem affecting the bus commuters. • Over 80% of commuters were dissatisfied with the overall quality of bus services in GSBS. 97 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT • Many of the vulnerable categories such as elderly, people with disabilities and chronically ill people needing to visit the hospital regularly relied heavily on bus services in spite of the limitation of bus services and their over crowdedness. 230. This, in turn implies that improvement of bus services will be particularly helpful to the vulnerable categories of the population and their needs must be borne in mind in designing services in KMTT. 5.20 Consultations with Business Operators on their access difficulties during the construction of KMTT 231. Consultations were conducted with IBZ Business Operators on the western boundary of GSBS and those on either side of SWRD Bandaranayake Mawatha leading to the GSBS who will experience difficulties in accessing their respective business establishments during the construction of KMTT, primarily because of the excavations connected with the diversion of Meda Ela along the western and southern borders of KMTT. Some of these business establishments are involved in large-scale businesses such as wholesale distribution of frozen fruits imported from overseas, wholesale distribution of newspapers all across the Central Province and beyond. Relocation of these businesses during the construction of the new transport terminal is envisaged to be difficult due to logistic difficulties in moving the large scale freezers to a new site even if the operators found a suitable site for relocating this business. Further, if compensation was to be paid for these large scale commercial losses it would come to a massive sum. Multiple consultations were conducted with these affected parties about the resettlement options such as temporary relocation, use of containers with freezers and possible business modifications for affected hotels such as supply of food to construction workers of KMTT etc. The issues were discussed with the technical design teams who modified the technical design so as to limit the course of Meda Ela diversion in such a way that excavations along the western side of SWRD Bandaranayake Mawatha will be avoided and road access can be provided to some of the bigger shops such as the wholesale fruit seller and newspaper distributor. Meanwhile, consultations continued with rest of the business operators on the western border of GSBS who will experience access difficulties up to three years. Options considered include temporary relocation of these businesses, renovation of the affected buildings by their owners in line with the architecture of KMTT, and catering to construction workers during the construction period of KMTT. 5.21 Consultations with occupants of Samagi Mawatha 232. Samagi Mawatha, located in the northern boundary of the GSBS, provides motorable road access to some private houses and commercial establishments via GSBS. This is a municipal road that has been used by the occupants of Samagi Mawatha for many years. KMTT construction will lead to closure of this road at least during the construction period. The residents have an alternative footpath from Old Peradeniya road, but that cannot provide motorable access. In consultation with the residents, the technical design team of the project is currently exploring the following options. 98 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT I. Provision of an alternative access road from SWRD Bandaranayake Mawatha from the Post Office side. This requires clearance from the Post Office. II. Upgrading of the current foot path from the Old Peradeniya Road as a motorable road. III. Provision of an alternative place for the residents to park their vehicles near the main road and walk to their homes through a foot path to be established along the northern border of GSBS and providing motorable road access to the occupants of Samagi Mawatha via KMTT once it is operational. 233. All these options entail specific technical problems and the technical team of the project is currently exploring which of these options would be most viable. Once finalized, it will be disclosed to affected parties in Samagi Mawatha. 5.22 Consultations with Vulnerable Groups of APs 234. Consultations were held with vulnerable individuals and groups such as persons living with disabilities, elderly, women-headed households and vulnerable categories such as elderly and female mobile vendors, shop assistants and rentiers in order to identify and respond to their special needs. Table 42: Summary outcome of the consultations with vulnerable groups Issues raised Participants Response to key issues by SCDP • Elderly persons Yes.

Considering the special difficulties these vulnerable persons encounter when economically displaced from their current livelihoods the resettlement process will make the following provisions, I. Provision of a special vulnerability allowance to facilitate their resettlement. II. Consideration of their special needs and capabilities in preparation of the livelihood development plan. III. Linking vulnerable people with available services and community-based programmes. IV. Provision of a disability-friendly environment in KMTT and associated facilities, including bus services. 99 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 5.23 Continuous consultations with stakeholders during project implementation 236. In summary, the above-mentioned series of consultations point to a broader consensus among almost all stakeholders about the need for KMTT. Furthermore, judging by their responses during consultations, this agreement is extended to all categories of APs in spite the fact that many of them will suffer from economic displacement caused by the establishment of the new transport terminal. This may be attributed to the personal day-to-day experience with the traffic problem in Kandy by all parties concerned and the efforts of the project team to explain the potential contribution by KMTT towards addressing this public concern. 237. One of the remaining challenges faced by the project is that many of the rights holders and untitled occupants in GSBS as well as the business operators continue to expect an alternative shop for the shop they will lose due to the project either in KMTT or elsewhere in the town. The consultation processes stressed that this is neither feasible nor desirable in the light of experiences of recent shopping complexes where business is poor. This may have reduced the demand for an alternative shop in place of the one that is lost, but this demand is likely to remain particularly among some categories of APs. This highlights the need for continuous consultation with affected parties during the project implementation as well. 238. Some of the issues that require continuous consultation include the following: I. Samagi Mawatha issue in order to make sure that road access will be made available to the residents and occupants in this lane during and after the construction of KMTT. II. Needs of business operators in IBZ including access difficulties during the construction of KMTT, possible alignment of these buildings, access to these buildings and their economic activities in line with KMTT. III. Livelihood restoration plans so as to ensure that livelihoods of all categories of APs, including the vulnerable ones, will be restored in a viable manner through the resettlement processes and R&R assistance towards livelihood development. IV. Appropriate use of funds made available to APs for their livelihood development. V. Possible deployment of suitable APs in business locations such as shops to be established in the sky walk. VI. Integration of nearby low income communities to opportunities opened up in KMTT in terms of services, employment and income earning opportunities in general for reasons highlighted in Chapter Two. 5.24 Continued consultation and participation 239. Consultation processes will be continued with APs during the resettlement phase. There will be group consultations with specific livelihood groups as well as provision for affected individuals with specific concerns to seek information from SCDP and other relevant agencies directly involved in the resettlement and livelihood development processes. Specific processes envisaged at this stage include the following: • Engage in continuous consultations with the APs to minimize/avoid adverse impacts of the 100 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT project emanating from final engineering designs. • Periodic meetings with APs and other stakeholders to inform them about the status of final engineering designs (if changed), land acquisition/transfer process and entitlements and payment of compensation to affected persons. • Engage the APs and other stakeholders for the review of the final engineering designs, and entitlements and other benefits to affected persons. • Consultations with APs and other stakeholders to elicit their views and suggestions to revise and update the resettlement plan. • Sharing of the final resettlement plan with APs and other stakeholders. • Periodic meetings with APs and other stakeholders to review any unanticipated or indirect consequences of the implementation of safeguard plans. • Assist the APs to access necessary information, prepare documentation related to their properties and assets and receive compensation and other resettlement assistance and other project related benefits. • Organise meetings and appraise the APs about the progress of project implementation and the implementation of social safeguards such as payment of compensation and other assistance to be provided. • Conduct information dissemination sessions to encourage the participation of APs in resettlement plan implementation. Assist the vulnerable groups to understand the process and to help them in getting the compensation and other assistance • Provide and make publicly available at the Kandy office of the SCDP regular updates on the progress of the resettlement component of the project is placed for public display at the Kandy office of the SCDP. • Disclose all monitoring reports of the resettlement component of the project in the same manner as that of the resettlement plan. 5.25 Information disclosure 240. During the due diligence conducted for the project, information related to preliminary engineering designs of the project, land requirements, potential impacts of the project, both positive and negative and direct and indirect, entitlements of the affected parties and grievance redress procedures were shared with affected persons during consultations. SCDP will continue their communications with the affected persons and other stakeholders and disclose information such as the dates of land acquisitions and land transfers, deadlines for vacating the premises, procedures for valuation of assets, project related impacts, specific entitlements of the affected persons, compensation procedures, grievance redress procedures and dates of the commencement of civil works. SCDP will engage a non-government organization to assist in the implementation of the livelihood restoration plan. Brochures and posters containing relevant information will be printed in Sinhala and Tamil and they will be made available/displayed at places easily accessible to affected persons and other interested parties. A copy of the draft resettlement plan will be disclosed on WB’s website as well as on the website of SCDP. A translation of the Resettlement Plan in Sinhala and Tamil will also be made available to the 101 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT public. Once the draft resettlement plan was finalized with updated information, the same procedure of disclosure will be followed. CHAPTER SIX 6. LIVELIHOODS AND INCOME RSETORATION STRATEGIES 6.1 Introduction 241. The construction of KMTT will cause both permanent and temporary economic displacements of an estimated 800+ persons engaged in a variety of commercial/business activities of different scales as well as for those employed in different business establishments in GSBS including IBZ. Economic displacements will lead to loss of business and loss of employment among a significant number of people, including some vulnerable categories of men and women. Moreover, displacements would result in the loss of a regular and stable customer base of commuters on which the business operators are heavily dependent on for their goods and services as well as a closely knitted informal economic support system such as their supply chains, informal borrowing systems like private money lenders etc. While the overall social impact of the project will be diffuse as the current economic operators in GSBS come from a wider area, it will have a degree of concentrated impact on low-income communities clustered around GSBS with a relatively large number of mobile vendors, three-wheel operators and, to a lesser extent, shop assistants coming from these communities. In view of the concentrated social impact of the project on urban low-income communities within 2km from GSBS, SCDP will pursue an innovative approach to integrate these communities to new developments in terms of employment generation within the new transport terminal, service provision to these communities, appreciation of property values, community development initiatives and environmental upgrading necessary for rebuilding these communities. 242. Further, there is a degree of economic stagnation in GSBS as some officially sanctioned shops are being closed due to non-payment of rents to KMC or bankruptcy, lack of opportunities for business expansion or diversification due to limited space, lack of services such as water supply, problems of overcrowding, garbage disposal, poor drainage and air pollution. Goods and services that are delivered by the business community in GSBS are of low quality leading to low profit margins. Added to the absence of a conducive environment for business operations in GSBS are the challenges of transforming a business community to a better or higher level of business operations, who lack sufficient motivation, platform to take risks, knowledge and skills to adapt to a different environment or customer base, and accumulated capital to invest in new enterprises. Numerous forms of vulnerabilities associated with a significant number of vendors such as physical disabilities, old age, long-term chronic illnesses and household poverty are factors that further restrain a desirable change. 243. SCDP will offer a compensation package commensurate with losses incurred, and will place emphasis on the cost of replacing the existing livelihoods alongside relocating the same 102 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT enterprises elsewhere or starting new enterprises and aspirations and realistic plans of APs. However, SCDP will not encourage the replication of the current situation in GSBS in KMTT or elsewhere or simply provide an unviable business venue elsewhere in the city as demonstrated by incomplete utilization of many stalls established by various agencies in the Kandy city itself. Given the magnitude of the anticipated impacts on the livelihoods and incomes of the affected population, SCDP will ensure that any form of impoverishment on the part of affected persons or a breakdown of their closely knitted economic and social support systems and networks, are avoided. The entitlement matrix of the project incorporates rehabilitation and restoration measures including special vulnerable allowances for those below the official poverty line, elderly, disabled and chronically ill in order to ensure that the loss of their current livelihoods do not result in a drop in their living standards in the short run. As for livelihood development for vulnerable persons, especially the elderly, viable home-based income earning activities where both women and other family members can work together to earn a decent income, will be identified and developed. Similarly, family support and supportive social networks, including community-based support services will be identified and strengthened using the services of social service officers and other government and non-government workers wherever possible. 244. Besides the payment of compensation at replacement cost along with R&R assistance provided for in the entitlement matrix of this RAP, SCDP will develop, facilitate and implement a robust livelihood restoration plan (LRP) to support and assist the affected persons to restore and improve their livelihoods and incomes affected by the project. The LRP will be implemented prior to the displacement of the APs and in parallel to the payment of cash compensation so that APs could be guided and assisted to utilize their cash compensation productively for the restoration and development of their affected livelihoods. The LRP will focus on possible diversification of livelihoods by taking into consideration the current and emerging business environment in Kandy such as in tourism sector, including hotel industry, infrastructure development particularly in roads and health sectors, and information technology services etc., opportunities available in terms of investments, particularly for joint ventures, improved quality and better hygienic standards of product development, employment and livelihood security, in general. SCDP will engage a competent organization with expertise in small and medium enterprise development, and participatory business plan development, for the implementation of the LRP and the monitoring of its outcomes. The implementation period of the LRP will be 3 years starting from October 2018. 245. This chapter presents the broad framework of the proposed LRP. It has two sections. The first section spells out the strategic framework for the LRP. The second section presents the key interventions and activities to be implemented under the LRP within the stipulated timeframe of 3 years. This framework for LRP was developed based on information generated from the social impact assessment (SIA) conducted for KMTT, the inventory of losses (IOL) prepared for the project, and consultations and surveys conducted with specific focus on the current livelihood activities of the APs and their future plans and aspirations, as well as consultations with a wide variety of stakeholders. In developing the LRP, a number of factors have been considered such as the types and scales of current business operations and employments and their diversities, existing skills, capacities and asset bases of the APs, vulnerabilities associated with APs, their future plans, aspirations and level of preparedness for livelihood restoration, 103 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT existing and emerging market and employment opportunities within Kandy city limits and its outskirts that can be accessed by the APs for furthering their livelihood activities, and potential business and employment opportunities that could emerge within the new KMTT. The LRP adopts an inclusive approach to ensure that equal opportunities are made available for all APs to participate and benefit from the LRP irrespective of their titles and socioeconomic status. 6.2 Objectives of the Livelihood Restoration Plan 246. The entitlement matrix of the RAP provides for cash compensation at replacement cost and other R&R assistance for persons affected by KMTT. The entitlements for livelihood losses comprise compensation for the relocation of the businesses, loss of business incomes and one- time cash grants for livelihood restoration. It also provides for special vulnerable allowances and ex-gratia payments for affected persons. The LRP complements the compensation package offered to the APs and it endeavors to reinforce APs’ efforts to restore and improve their affected livelihoods. 247. The LRP will focus on realizing sustainable livelihoods and incomes for all categories of persons affected by KMTT. Its specific objectives include (i) ensuring that at least current income levels of all affected APs are sustained after their displacement; (ii) providing special assistance to the most vulnerable groups among APs to recover their economic losses and to restore their livelihoods and incomes; and (iii) providing capacity building training and other business development support services to improve both the scale and the quality of business operations including their venturing into new business opportunities. 6.3 Strategic Directions of the LRP 248. The LRP framework comprises four main strategic directions, namely (i) Phasing-out; (ii) Relocation; (iii) Re-employment; and (iv) Transformation. Each strategic direction is explained in Table 43. Table 43: Main strategic directions of LRP Main Strategic Description Directions Though the number of APs who would be moving along this direction is anticipated to be low, during the consultations held with the APs, some have stated their voluntary choice of phasing out completely from their current businesses/employment due to reasons of old age, long-term chronic illnesses and physical disabilities, absence of social support system, and their calculated PHASING-OUT decision of not been able to adapt to a new business environment. Yet, there are others who would pursue alternative livelihood options after phasing out from their existing businesses or employment in GSBS. There are people who want to go back to their villages and engage in farming, poultry etc. Other small income generation activities such as collecting fruits and vegetables in the villages and 104 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT selling it to whole sellers, micro level productions of goods such as brooms, mats and ornaments targeting tourists, were presented as alternative options by the APs. The strategy requires interventions to secure the wellbeing of those APs and to avoid their impoverishment in the remaining years of their lives. The phasing- out strategy will place emphasis on reinforcing social and economic support systems for the vulnerable groups who would opt for their voluntary retirement and providing special assistance for those who desire to move into alternative livelihoods. A majority of the APs would opt for relocation of their current business activities to an alternate location either within the KMC area or elsewhere outside Kandy including in their home villages. Yet, there may be some others who would decide for relocation along with new forms of business activities. Relocation options can be either permanent or temporary though the majority would prefer permanent relocation of their businesses. These APs aspire to diversify or scale-up their RELOCATION businesses in the long-run or else have the intention of developing their capacities to capture the emerging business opportunities within Kandy such as in shopping malls currently under construction or the commercial units planned to be built within KMTT. Relocation is an immediate need for this group. Thus, a separate strategy is required to support these diverse relocation options as it is the only way through which a complete breakdown of the livelihoods and incomes of the APs could be avoided. The strategy will primarily be directed towards supporting the current employees of business operators affected by KMTT to find alternate sources employment. Despite the major challenges that this strategy would pose on the implementation of LRP given the relatively low skills and capacities of the majority of employees, a number of options for their re-employment will be pursued. As Kandy city is in the RE-EMPLOYMENT phase of rapid economic growth, demand for both trained and unskilled labor is growing. There is a constriction boom which need both type of labor, and the hospitality and health trades are expanding within the city limits. There is a growing demand for low-skill labor such and security guards, shop assistants etc which will be some of the options available to affected employees and some businesses operators. The strategy calls for a long-term investment and a comprehensive set of interventions that focuses on developing the entrepreneurial skills and capacities of the APs, enabling them to move into a higher stage of their business enterprises. While the strategy places its focus on enhancing capacity development of the APs, it will also place its emphasis on ensuring adequate coping mechanisms to support the APs during the transitional phase and until such time they are able to TRANSFORMATION consolidate their positions at a higher level. Business transformations will take place at different levels and at different scale and scope compared to the existing ones currently operational at GSBS. Potentially, the small scale mobile phone and accessories vendors can upgrade their services and cater to higher markets which would potentially emerge within the KMTT. Other vendors moving out from the GSBS too can be similarly supported to transform their businesses and to cater new clienteles or be supported in order to improve the quality of their services. 105 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 6.4 Key Interventions and Activities 249. The LRP will comprise the following set of interventions and key activities. The interventions may be overlapping and they will be implemented in different phases such as short-term, in the first 6 months; medium-term, in the 6-18 months; and long-term, beyond 18 months. Both immediate and urgent needs such as phasing-out, relocation and re-employment, will be addressed in the short and medium terms whereas the business transformation will be in the medium to long-term. Table 44: Key Interventions and Activities No. Key Interventions Key Activities Providing assistance for another family member nominated by the AP to continue the existing business or a new business in a different location Supporting viable home-based economic activities that can be jointly carried out by Support systems the family members 1. for phasing-out Ensuring safe deposit of their compensation money in a bank so that it would businesses generate an interest income to meet the needs of the APs for the remaining years of their life Linking with social support and security systems extended by government such as the department of social services and non-governmental organizations etc. Preparing an inventory of the potential business relocation sites in Kandy and its periphery and sharing such information with the APs Facilitating links between the APs and the owners of business premises (both government and private) who are willing to rent/lease out their properties Relocation of some APs such as mobile vendors at the transitional sites of bus operations during KMTT construction and three wheel operators at alternate parking sites allocated by KMC/UDA Business 2.

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 7.1 Introduction 250. The impacts of the KMTT project may raise numerous grievances and complaints on the part of affected persons. Possible grievances can include: the exclusion of the APs/claimants from eligibility lists, non-availability of documentary evidence in support of their claims, disputes related to occupancy of business premises, disputes concerning valuation of properties and other assets and inadequate compensation, delays in the payment of compensation, etc. Moreover, several other complaints related to civil construction works such as problems associated with contract management and contractor performance, damages to public and private properties, people’s concerns over their personal safety; various inconveniences to the general public such as access difficulties, restrictions to public places, disturbances resulting from noise and dust, and issues related to labour influx such as conduct of laborers, gender-based violence, etc., will also be addressed through the GRM. On the other hand, relocation of APs may also lead to a range of issues such as non-availability of alternate business premises, difficulties related to reconstruction of business structures, restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities, lack of access to services such as water, electricity, sanitation etc., which too will have to manage by the Project. 251. SCDP will establish a project-based grievance redress mechanism (GRM), as defined in the RPF, which is easily accessible to the aggrieved parties, transparent and accountable in grievance handling, and responsive both in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in terms of addressing the grievances reported by the affected parties while gaining the confidence of the complainants. Such a well-established and well-functioning GRM would be able to resolve the grievances locally and avoid lengthy court procedures which on the other hand could generate adverse implications on the timely implementation of the project together with reputational risks to key stakeholders. 252. The project will establish a four-tier GRM, details of which are described in the sections to follow. The GRM will function throughout the life cycle of the project implementation. The project will provide wider publicity for the GRM established using a variety of media such as brochures, leaflets and posters printed in Sinhala and Tamil and the electronic media. The roles and functions of the GRM and its different tiers, specific locations where the different tires are established, grievance reporting procedures, time frames for grievance resolution at each level etc. will be disseminated to the affected persons as well as the general public using the above- mentioned modes of communication. Furthermore, the project will provide orientation and training to the members of the GRM on effective grievance handling procedures. 108 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 7.2 Multi-tiered GRM for KMTT i. GRM at the KMTT Site 253. Level 1 of the GRM will be at the KMTT site in Kandy. At this level, there will be a dedicated social development officer (SDO) appointed by SCDP for grievance handling and consultations. In case of grievances that are urgent and minor, aggrieved parties can easily approach the SDO either in person or via telephone. Contact phone numbers of the SDO will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations. The SDO will be based at the SCDP office in Kandy. The SDO will record the complaint, name of the complainant and the date of complaint. 254. APs can also lodge their complaints at the Information Cell established by SCDP in the Kandy railway station premises which is a few meters away from the KMTT site. A log book will be maintained at the Information Cell to record the complaints and the officer-in-charge of the Cell will accept and record the complaints. The Cell is kept open for five days a week from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. 255. Upon receiving the complaints, the SDO will communicate with the relevant persons and agencies implicated in the complaint and will try to reach an amicable settlement within a period of one week, failing which the complaint will be forwarded to the SCDP’s project implementation unit (PIU) in Kandy. ii. Local Greivance Redress Committee at PIU in Kandy 256. Level 2 of the GRM will be the Local Grievance Redress Committee (LGRC) established at PIU in Kandy chaired by its Deputy Project Director. The rest of the members of the GRC will include (i) a representative from CRPTA; (ii) a representative of SLR (based in Kandy); (iii) a representative from SLTB (based in Kandy); (iv) KMC commissioner or his nominee; (v) project engineer of KMTT; (vi) a representative of the aggrieved party (the representative will be a female if the aggrieved party is a female); (vii) SCDP’s resettlement manager in Kandy; and (viii) the SDO handling grievances at Level 1. Grievances that cannot be resolved at GRM-Level 1 or else if the affected persons were dissatisfied with the Level 1 resolution can submit their grievances in writing to LGRC, or even directly approach the LGRC to register their complaints. 257. The LGRC can convene the affected person to explain his/her grievance at its meeting. LGRC will also consult the relevant technical experts and carry out site visits, when required. During the committee deliberations, LGRC will clarify the issues involved and would try its best to reach a settlement acceptable to both the affected person and the PMU within a period of two weeks. If an agreement or resolution is reached, the key points of the agreement/resolution will be summarized, documented and signed by both the affected person and the members of the LGRC. 109 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT iii. GRM at PMU-SCDP 258. Level 3 of the GRM will be at the Project Management Unit of SCDP in 4th floor, Sethsiripaya, Stage 01, Battaramulla and will be chaired by the Project Director. The members of the PMU level GRC will comprise of the Project Director, DPD (Social) and components leaders of SCDP. The complainant and/or his representative will be called to appear before the Level 3 GRC and explain his/her grievance. If necessary, GRC members will undertake field inspections to verify the issues reported. 259. Grievances that cannot be resolved at GRM-Level 2 or else if the affected persons were dissatisfied with the Level 2 resolution can submit their grievances in writing to PMU level GRC, or the aggrieved party may also submit their grievances directly to the PMU-level GRM. Level 3 GRC will reach a settlement through consensus among its membership, failing which the decision may be taken on a majority vote. The GRC located at PMU will conclude its proceedings within a period of two weeks since the submission of the grievance. iv. National-Level Independent Grievance Panel 260. Level 4 of the GRM is the Independent Grievance Panel (IGP) established at national level (Colombo). Grievances that cannot be resolved at GRM-Level 3 or else if the affected persons were dissatisfied with the Level 3 resolution can submit their grievances in writing to PMU level GRC. The meetings of the IGP will be held at MM &WD. The IGP comprises representatives from the Land Ministry, Department of Valuation, a lawyer, a retired senior government officer, and a representative of a recognized civil society organization and/or a person representing the APs. IGP will deliver its decision on the grievances reported within a period of one month. 261. Grievances at levels can be lodged either verbally or in writing. The different forms of uptake include in-person, via email/letter, and/or telephone call. GRM decisions will be bound by the safeguards policy framework and the prescribed entitlement matrix for KMTT. The GRM mechanism for KMTT will not impede access to the legal system. Affected persons also have the option of leaving the project-based GRM at any time and recourse to legal action through the country’s judiciary system. 110 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT CHAPTER EIGHT 8. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK 262. The Strategic Cities Development Project (SCDP) of the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development (MM&WD) is the implementing agency of the Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT) project. SCDP has a project management unit (PMU) located in Colombo. 263. The PMU is responsible among its other functions for overall coordination, supervision and monitoring of project’s compliance with social safeguards which include resettlement planning, fund disbursements, coordination of all activities related to RAP implementation, monitoring and reporting. The Project Director (PD) will also liaise with MM&WD and WB for all functions related to safeguards management and reporting. The PD is assisted by a social unit headed by a Deputy Project Director based in Colombo. The National Project Steering Committee (NPSC) chaired by the Secretary of MM&WD at its bi-annual meetings monitor the overall progress of project implementation including safeguards management, resolve implementation issues, and coordinate with other government agencies which are connected to the project implementation. 264. The PMU has established a dedicated social unit (DSU) at its office in Kandy to coordinate and implement all activities related to the preparation of the KMTT RAP and its implementation. The core team of the DSU comprises both male and female staff assigned from the staff of SCDP and a team of consultants who provide specific technical services, when needed. SCDP will also appoint a non-governmental organization to work with DSU to implement a livelihood restoration plan for people displaced by KMTT. A Resettlement Manager will be appointed to lead and coordinate the work of DSU. The Resettlement Manager will be assisted by (i) a livelihood restoration manager; (ii) a resettlement officer; (iii) a social development officer responsible for information and communications, consultations and grievance handling; (iv) an environment officer; and (v) a monitoring and documentation officer. The DSU is administered by the Deputy Project Director (DPD) of SCDP’s PIU in Kandy while its resettlement related work is guided by the Deputy Director (social) and Deputy Director (environment) at PMU. SCDP will also establish a Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) comprising senior level officers from KMTT’s key stakeholder agencies to encourage their proactive participation, and to receive their guidance and support for RAP implementation.

Resettlement Budget and Financing 9.1 Budget 266. The preparation of the budget was guided by the parameters set in the entitlement matrix which provides for payment of compensation at replacement cost and includes compensation for both temporary and permanent loss of businesses and incomes, and the relocation of businesses, to all affected parties, regardless of their ownership status. The budget also makes provisions for additional resettlement assistance for vulnerable and severely affected APs and particularly for their livelihood restoration. Furthermore, provisions have been made to cover the costs of hiring the services of an NGO to implement the livelihood restoration plan and an external monitoring team, conducting consultations, updating the resettlement plan, grievance redress and monitoring. A contingency provision of 2.5% of the total resettlement budget is set aside to cover the unanticipated costs which may have to be incurred during RAP implementation. Budget calculations are also supported by data collected through the census of APs and a rapid market survey of land, and building rents. The total resettlement budget is SLRs 1,255.56 million which is equivalent to USD 7.847 million (at the current exchange rate of 1 USD = SLRs 160). The project implementing agency will disburse the necessary funds through its PMU to cover the land acquisition and resettlement costs. 9.2 Budget Notes I. Land values: compensation for acquired land, at replacement cost, was estimated based on current land values obtained from the Kandy Regional Office of the Valuation Department on their recent land valuations and the current market values of land located adjacent to GSBS which were collected through a rapid market survey.

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE 268. Activities related to social safeguards management will go through different phases which include preparation of draft and final resettlement action plan, public consultations and information disclosure, and disclosure of resettlement plans, land acquisition, payment of compensation and other assistance, grievance redress etc. The resettlement related activities, specifically payment of compensation, will be completed prior to the commencement of civil works. However, livelihood restoration measures, consultations, grievance redress and monitoring will continue until the completion of the construction work of KMTT or beyond. The resettlement of the SLR staff in their new staff quarters will take place in the middle of the construction phase whereas the resettlement of the three-wheel operators in their new parking premises and the potential business operators in the commercial units to be established within KMTT will extend to the operation phase of KMTT. However, during the transition period (from the time of clearing of the GSBS site for civil works and until the new staff quarters and three- wheel parking spaces are built), railway staff will be provided with transitional housing of the same or better quality, and temporary parking sites will be established for three-wheel operators within KMC the limits, where there is a demand for their services. 269. As stated above, all activities related to assessment of losses and payment of compensation will be completed before project site is handed over to the contractor and the commencement of the civil work constructions. No physical or economic displacement of APs will occur until full compensation is paid to APs at replacement cost and SCDP will ensure that compensation is paid prior to the commencement of civil works. Moreover, current bus operations at GSB will not be shifted to the transitional sites until the compensation process is over. All land will be freed from its encumbrances before they are handed over to the contractor. Table 56 presents an implementation schedule for resettlement activities. The implementation schedule for resettlement activities are tentative and subject to modification based on the actual progress of work, which is now considered to be 2021.

SCDP will have overall responsibility for monitoring the project processes, outputs, outcomes and impacts over the lifespan of the project. The project will be monitored both internally and externally. SCDP will establish the necessary institutional arrangements required for monitoring of the implementation of the resettlement plan. 11.1 Internal Monitoring 271. The Resettlement Manager of the Dedicated Social Unit (DSU) in consultation with DPD (social) will design a monitoring framework which will include the key areas for monitoring, methodologies and relevant indicators and plans for disclosure of monitoring results well in advance of the project implementation. The monitoring system will also focus on engaging all the relevant stakeholders in the monitoring processes and adopt participatory processes such as holding periodic review meetings and discussions. They include project partners and APs. The methodologies would include review of documents produced by the PMU, contractors, individual/group meetings with APs and other stakeholders and surveys and studies. The Resettlement Manager assisted by a dedicated monitoring officer will maintain a database of all the relevant information such as preliminary screening of all APs in ITB and IBZ and transitional sites for bus operations, census data, profiles of affected persons and information related to resettlement 272. The monitoring officer placed directly under the Resettlement Manager will undertake regular field visits to project sites, maintain a dialogue with APs and ensure that consultations are conducted regularly and effectively. The monitoring process will also focus on (i) the progress of the implementation of the resettlement plan; (ii) the level of compliance of project implementation with safeguards plans and measures provided in the legal agreements including payment of compensation and other resettlement assistance and mitigation of construction related impacts; (iii) implementation and effectiveness of the livelihood restoration plan; (iv) disclosure of monitoring results to APs and other stakeholders; (v) the level of consultations conducted with APs and other stakeholders to address gaps in resettlement plan implementation and to identify necessary measures to mitigate, avoid or minimize adverse impacts arising from project implementation; and (vi) follow up of and resolution of APs’ grievances. 273. The Resettlement Manager together with the monitoring officer will systematically document the monitoring results and quarterly reports will be produced. SCDP will submit quarterly reports for review by the WB on the progress of the safeguards implementation of resettlement activities and any compliance issues and corrective actions adopted. These reports will closely follow the involuntary resettlement monitoring indicators agreed at the time of resettlement plan approval. 124 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 274. The indicators for safeguards monitoring will broadly include the following.

Introduction 1. ‘Strategic Cities Development Project (SCDP)’ under the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development aims at improving the livability of cities by efficiently using public urban spaces and reconfiguring city functions by making priority investments in infrastructure and services. The ‘Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT)’ is one of the key such investments undertaken for reducing passenger congestion and easing traffic build up in and around Kandy urban area. Upon completion, the KMTT will improve the overall bus and other public transportation environment in Kandy therein making the city a versatile and efficient transport hub, both regionally and nationally. 2. However, during the construction period of the KMTT, which is scheduled to commence in December 2018 and completed in July 2021, the existing Good Shed terminal will not be accessible for the current bus operations. At present, this site accommodates 228 bus routes and 6,924 daily bus trips which will be interrupted upon its closure. Hence, in order to mitigate the impact of the construction work and the ensuing interruptions to the daily activities of the commuters, eight transitional sites have been identified where the existing bus operations at the Good Shed terminal can be temporarily shifted. This Social Impact Assessment and Mitigation Plan (SIAMP) specifically identifies the impacts and mitigation measures during the construction of these transitional sites. The SIAMP will be later incorporated into the main KMTT RAP. B. Subproject Description 3. The eight transitional sites have been identified based on the requirements of the ‘Public Transport Design, Operations Management & Design Plan’ for Kandy. The process involves rerouting of existing bus operations upon closure of the Good Shed terminal and construction of the KMTT. The sites identified are: Bogambara idling bus park, Kandy South Depot premises, existing Torrington and the Clock Tower bus terminals, S.W.R.D Bandaranayke Road, H.P Udurawana Road and the Near Kachcheri Road touch and go bus lane, and the Central Market side road. All these sites are located within 500 m of the Good Shed area making them as easily accessible alternatives to the current users of the Good Shed terminal. They were selected by the KMTT designers after consulting the Ministry of Transport- Central Province, National Transport Commission (NTC), Central Province Road Passenger Transport Authority (CPRPTA), the Road Development Authority (RDA), Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB), Kandy Municipal Council (KMC) and the Urban Development Authority (UDA). 4. The construction of the transitional sites have been condensed into four packages in order to minimize disruptions to the activities of the public during their implementation. SCDP will be the implementation agency responsible for the construction of these eight sites and it will partner with CPRPTA for the implementation of the packages 01, 03, 04 and SLTB for the implementation of package 02. SCDP will obtain services of Greentech Consultants (Pvt) Ltd for the designing and construction supervision of the eight sites. 5. Construction activities will include the following components depending on the requirements of each site (also see Table 01): • Remarking of new bus bays in S.W.R.D Bandaranayke Road, H.P Udurawana Road and the Near Kachcheri Road 133 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT • Establishing touch and go bus operations near the central market of the city • Establishing a new bus terminal by converting the existing Bogambara bus idling park • Revamping existing bus terminal operations Torrington and the Clock Tower areas to enhance their capacities to accommodate terminal operations upon closure of the Good Shed terminal. • Establishing an idling bus park in the current Kandy South Depot premises • Constructing/renovating passenger shelters • Installing timetable displays and public information/message boards 6. Upon execution of the transitional arrangement, the existing bus operations in the Good Shed terminal will be re-routed to minimize the interruptions to the existing bus transporation services. 7. The construction of the eight sites will take place between June 2018 and June 2019 and will be executed as four packages. Table 1 gives the details of the packages and the proposed interventions under each. Table 1: Identified locations for transitional arrangements Subproject SN Location Proposed Intervention Package • Construct a temporary bus terminal comprising 27 bus bays which could accommodate 582 bus trips per day currently operating to and from the Good Shed terminal. • Construct passenger seating 1 Bogambara Package1 • Improvement of sanitary facilities • Install timetable display and public information/message board • Construction of an Information Counter and Time keeper’s Counter (SLTB & CPRPTA officers) • Construct bus overflow parking facilities to accommodate 40 idling buses during peak hours and 300 daily • Renovate the fuel station, security room, administrative building, and the worker’s restroom.

Map 1 identifies the geographical arrangement of the transitional sites. Map1: Locations of Subproject 9. The project will not shift the current bus operations of the Good Shed Bus Stand (GSBS) to any of the transitional sites until, the implementation of RAP for the GSBS is complete, including the payment of full compensation and other resettlement assistance and livelihood restoration plans are initiated (see Annex 11 for Project Director’s commitment to withhold the shifting of GSBS bus operations until the resettlement process is over). 135 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT I. Descriptions of the selected sites 1. Bogambara Bus Park Figure 1: Bogambura Idling Bus Park 10. The Bogambara site covers a 0.5ha land extent and borders Baladaksha Mawatha from the North, Keppetipola Road from the East, UDA office land from the West and a private plot of land from the South. It is located within 500m of the Kandy railway station, Kandy hospital, Bogambara stadium, Good Shed bus stand. At present, it provides parking space for 60-75 buses during peak hours and 300 daily. 11. The current idling bus parking facility managed by CPRPTA is operational in the Bagamabara site on a piece of land which belongs to the Ministry of Transport, Central Province (See 136 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 12. Annex 1: Consent letter of Ministry of Transport, Central Province to construct Bogambara bus Terminal). During the transitional period, the area currently used as the idling bus park will be converted to the largest transitional bus terminal. The site can be easily accessed via William Gopallawa Road, Keppetipola Road, and Baladaksha Mawatha and is the only CPRPTA site sizable enough for the purpose. Presently, a CPRPTA office, an operations room, an eatery, and a toilet block are located within the premises but during construction of the terminal, none of these structures located within the premises, will be affected. 13. At present, there are two leaseholders and one unauthorized individual engaged in business activities within the premises. The first leaseholder, whose lease agreement expires in May 2018, is the bus park operator who collects a fee of LKR 50/- per bus per day for daytime parking and LKRs. 200 per bus per day for night parking from the idling buses parked in the premises. He earns a daily income of LKR 15,000/-. The second, operates a toilet block from which he earns a daily net income of LKR 1500/-. The third, an unauthorized individual operates an eatery from which she earns a daily income of LKR 2500/-. Additionally, she employs three assistants. More Information about these individuals and those who are employed under them are given in Table 2. Table 2: Persons currently employed within the Bogambara premises SN Name Tittle Service Gender Age (Yrs.) Daily Income (LKR) 1 Karupiah Weerabahu Leaseholder Bus M 57 15,000 2 Sunil Samarasinghe Assistant Parking M 62 1,200 3 Yamuna Mendis Operator F 2500 Priyantha 4 Assistant M 43 1,500 Gunarathne Eatery 5 Nageshvane Assistant M 55 1,200 6 Nadeeka Mendis Assistant F 35 800 R.W.V. 7 Leaseholder Toilet M 41 1500 Dharmawardena Facility 8 P. Keshavan Assistant M 60 1,000 14. The livelihoods of the individuals engaged in these business activities and their employees will be either fully or partially affected during the construction of the transitional site in Bogambara. As such, corresponding impact mitigation measures have been stipulated later in this report. 2. Kandy South Bus Depot Figure 2: Kandy south depot main entrance 137 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 15. The Kandy South Bus Depot is located adjoining the Kandy-Peradeniya Road and 300m away from the Good Shed bus terminal. This covers a 1.5 ha land extent and is owned by Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB). Currently, there are administrative offices, workers’ restrooms, workshops, toilets, a vehicle yard and a fuel station occupying the premises. SLTB uses approximately 0.5 ha of land extent available as an open area in this premises for parking SLTB buses. However, a significant portion of this land is still underutilized. As such, the proposed transitional arrangement will maximize the value of the land by demolishing the old structures and replacing them with a new building, renovating the structures that are not demolished, and constructing a permanent idling bus park for both SLTB and the CPRTA buses (See Annex 2: Agreement between SLTB and SCDP to use Kandy south depot as Idling Bus Park during KMTT operations). 16. Currently, there are five buildings occupied by 125 workers of the Kandy south depot located in the premises. There are another 300 workers attached to the transport division and therefore only intermittently present in the premises. Two of these buildings will be demolished and replaced with a new two-storied building. The former will be demolished only upon completion of the new building in order to minimize disruption to office work. Temporary displacements as a result of the demolition of the old buildings are therefore not expected. However, during the construction period, there will be minor disturbances to day to day activities of the workers due to noise and dust. As stipulated later in the report, appropriate mitigation action will be taken in order to minimize these impacts under the corresponding SIMP and the EMP. 3. Torrington Figure 3: Torrington Bus Stand 17. The Torrington bus terminal covers two 75x3 m stripes located on both sides of the Sri Wickrama Rajasinha Road. The road is located between the George E De Silva Park on one side and the D.S. Senanayake Memorial Library on the other. Although there are no structures or business activities in these two strips of land, there are seven vendors operating near the Torrington Park. Five of them are mobile vendors, and another two occupy lottery stands (More details in 18. 19. 20. Annex 3: Information about Vendors in the Vicinity of Torrington Bus Stand). These businesses will not be affected during conversion of the site as a transitional terminal since it will not disturb the current onsite bus operations and the vendors’ client base. However, the construction of the new passenger shelter and the waiting area may cause minor disturbances to the commuters due to noise and dust for which mitigation measures have been identified later in this report. 138 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 4. H.P. Udurawana Road 21. The roadside section of H.P. Udurawana road is currently used as a touch and go bus lane. It borders the Bogambara prison wall and the central market is located on the opposite side of the road. As part of the transitional arrangement of the KMTT construction, a 75x3m strip of land will be converted to a temporary bus stop in this location. Presently, the road only allows one-way traffic. During the construction period vehicular movements will be allowed according to the existing arrangement without any additional disruptions. Figure 4: Udurawana road near prison wall 5. Central Market side 22. A roadside stretch, in front of the Central Market, has been proposed for a new touch and go Bus Stop during the transitional period. This site is owned and managed by the RDA and will utilize 30x3 m space of the road (see Figure 05). The proposed site is located just above the pedestrian underpass exit and on the opposite side of the George E De Silva Park. Currently, the road only allows one-way traffic. Actions to mitigate any traffic related concerns/issues, will be taken during the construction period in collaboration with the traffic committee of the KMC. 139 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Space use to mark the bus bays Figure 5: Market front side suitable for bus parking 6. Clock Tower 23. The clock Tower bus terminal is currently operating under the supervision of CPRPTA, and the location is owned by the RDA. It borders the Matale railway track and is on the side of the S.W.R.D Bandaranayake Mawatha. Currently, the site has 23 bus bays, a passenger shelter, two time-keeper’s counters, and a toilet block. There are also seven vendors operating in the site (See Annex 4: Information about Vendors in the Vicinity of Clock Tower Bus Stand). However, the operations of the vendors will not be affected as a result of the onsite construction activities. 140 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Figure 6: Clock Tower Bus Park Figure 7: Clock Tower Bus Prk 18. Specifically, the construction work will include remarking of the 23 existing bus bays to improve parking efficiency and the rehabilitation of the existing passenger handrail. A new time table display and a public information/ message board will also be installed within the premises. 7. S.W.R.D. Bandaranayke Road 19. This proposed site stretches from Kandy Post Office to Clock Tower along S.W.R.D. Bandaranayake Road and will function as a bus stop during the transitional period of KMTT construction. It stretches across a 150X3m space. This road is owned and managed by RDA. The land is free of encumbrances, and there are no vendors or workers at this site. 141 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Figure 8: Road stretch proposed for bus parking 8. Near Kachcheri 20. The proposed site is located near Kandy District Secretariat (Kachcheri) in Yatinuwa Street. As seen in Figure 09, the site already functions as a touch and go bus stop. The bus stop is used by those who travel to Kurunegala, Matale and Katugasthota areas. Under the project, the site will be converted to a bus stop with five newly marked bus bays. Currently, there are no encumbrances, including vendors or workers at this site. Figure 9: Bus halts identified near District Secretariat II. Transitional sites implementation timeframe 21. The implementation process is expected to take off ground in accordance with the timetable given below in Table 4. All site related construction work planned in the four packages will be awarded to four different contractors selected through a competitive bidding process. Package 01 will be implemented in a location (details given above) where there will be only minimal disturbances to the daily activities of the public. Package 02 will be implemented in a SLTB owned premises which is not currently open to the general public. Package 03 and 04 will entail minimum amount of construction that will be carried out during the nighttime in order to minimize any disturbances to the public. These will be stipulated as a condition in the contract and agreed upon between the implementation agency and the contactor prior to the awarding of the contract.

Justification of the project design 22. Kandy city already suffers from significant traffic congestion due to the existing poorly managed road network, the increased volume of both inbound and outbound vehicular movements-, the location of schools, hospitals, government offices and other services. These conditions have affected not only the residents of Kandy but also the 320,000 daily commuters arriving in Kandy. Approximately 60% of the daily commuters to Kandy use public transport services. Hence, an integral part of the transitional arranggements during the construction period of the KMTT is to ensure that it will not further add to the existing traffic related issues. The proposed transitional arrangement will minimize service distruptions during the construction period of the KMTT that will otherwise affect the daily needs of the public. Table 05 gives a detailed decription of the stregnths and limitations of each identified location and proposed action to overcome them.

The new Bogambara bus terminal will utilize the 0.39 ha of land owned by the Central Province Ministry of Transport. Therefore, there will be no land acquisitions affecting privately owned land. 27. There is a toilet block owned by CPRPTA currently used by the users of the idling Bus Park. Its management has been leased out to a private party for a period of one year starting from the 15th January 2018. The lessee is liable to pay a monthly payment of LKR 30,000/- to CPRPTA (See lease agreement Annex 8: Lease Agreement of Toilet Block Operator). The leaseholder also employs one sanitary worker. The block will temporarily cease to function during the construction period. CPRPTA has agreed to waive off the monthly rental from the leaseholder during the construction period. In addition to these, a cash compensation for the loss of income to the leaseholder at the rate of LKR 50,000/- per month and for the loss wages of the assistant at the rate of LKR 25,000/- per month for a period not exceeding 6 months will be determined and awarded by EAC. 28. The onsite eatery will not be demolished or closed during construction of the transitional bus terminal, but its business activities may be partially affected due to possible decrease of clients with shifting of idling park. Alternatively, as requested by the vendor, she will be given access to the Keppetipola road to serve the road users. The contractor will also be encouraged to use her services to provide food for the workers. 29. There is a contractor who is operating the idling bus park, and he currently holds a lease agreement with CPRPTA which is due to expire in May 2018. He charges a fee LKRs 50/- per bus per day for daytime parking and LKRs. 200 per bus per day for night parking (See lease agreement in 30. 31. 32. Annex 9: Lease Agreement of Bus Parking’s Operations). One assistant has been employed to collect the fee from busses. Leaseholder is liable to pay LKRs 315,000/- as a monthly rental to CPRPTA. However, since the current contract expires in May 2018, the operator will not be liable to pay a monthly rental during the transitional period. During this period, he will also be allowed to manage the Bogambara prison front temporary idling park without having to pay a monthly rental till October 2018. Once the South Depot Park is completed he will be able to rent it upon signing a contract with the CPRPTA. 33. The subproject designers have identified Bogambara prison front for providing temporary idling bus parking facilities. It has been estimated that there will be a parking requirement for 75 idling buses during the peak hours and overall for 300 buses per day. The required developments to operationalize the transitional idling park will be managed under the package 01 budget. Operations of the idling park will be jointly monitored and supervised by CPRPTA and SCDP. 34. The business activities in the area adjoining the Bogambara bus park will not be affected during the construction of the temporary terminal. Construction related Impact mitigation measures are stipulated in the SIMP, EMP and the contracts to be awarded. Package 2 2. Rehabilitation of Kandy South Bus Depot 35. The construction of the permanent idling bus parking area will require 0.387 ha of land and an additional 250m2 land extent will be needed for the new building. This land will be provided by the SLTB and therefore will not result in any private land acquisitions (See Annex 2). Currently, the premises in not occupied by any third party and the sub project implementation will not affect any livelihood activities. 148 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT 36. Two existing buildings occupied by SLTB workers will be demolished as part of the transitional plan. A new two-stored building will be constructed before demolition of the old in order to facilitate the shifting of offices to the new premises without affecting their operations. 37. All construction-related impacts will be addressed and mitigated as per the SIMP and the EMP. Figure 10: Layout of Kandy South Depot Package 3 3. Torrington Bus Park 38. The roadside space of Sri Wickrama Rajasinha road is currently used for bus parking. This road is owned and maintained by KMC. The proposed subproject will construct three passenger shelters on the opposite side of George E De Silva Park, rehabilitate pavements on both sides of the road and mark 8 new bus bays. New timetable displays and public information/message boards will be installed to share information with the public and commuters. Current operations of the terminal will continue undisturbed during the construction period. Construction related impacts, such as noise and dust will be mitigated by incorporating night work as part of the contract. 4. H. P. Udurawana Road 39. The roadside section of H.P. Udurawana road (near to prison wall) is already used as a bus stop. This will be converted to a Touch-and-Go operation after improvements to the site. The proposed site is also owned and maintained by KMC. There are no ongoing economic activities in or out of this site that will be affected during the construction period. During the subproject implementation, night work will be 149 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT a requirement stipulated in the contract in order to minimize disturbances to the daily activities of the public. 5. Central Market side 40. A section of the road near the Central market will be utilized as a touch and go bus stop. The road is owned and maintained by RDA. There is no land acquisition requirement for this site. Furthermore, no income generating activities will be affected during the construction period. Construction related impacts, such as noise and dust will be mitigated by incorporating night work as part of the contract. Package 4 6. Clock Tower 41. This bus terminal is the second largest operating in Kandy. It is currently managed by CPRPTA, and space is owned by the RDA. During the transition, this terminal will be rearranged. The existing 23 bus bays will be remarked. No additional land is required for this purpose. The existing guard rail of terminal will also be rehabilitated. A new timetable display and a public information/ message board will be installed for the convenience of the commuters. All construction related impacts will be mitigated by entering into an agreement with the contractor to perform construction work only during the night hours. 7. S.W.R.D. Bandaranayake Road 42. The roadside stretch from Kandy Post Office to Clock Tower bus terminal of S.W.R.D.Bandaranayake road is proposed to be converted to a temporary bus terminal. This road is owned and maintained by RDA. No land acquisition is required for this purpose. 8. New Kachcheri Bus stop 43. The roadside stretch adjacent to the Kandy District Secretariat has been identified as a new site to be converted to a bus stop. This roadside stretch is currently used as a touch and go bus park. The road is owned and maintained by RDA, and no land acquisition is required for the subproject. There will be no impact on any income generating activities carried out in the area. Construction related impacts 44. There will be some construction-related impacts to the commuters, bus drivers, conductors and public during the construction period. The development of the Bogambara bus terminal and Kandy South Bus Depot premises for idling parking will involve significant amount of civil works whereas other places will not entail any such major activities. Both these sites are not being used by the public at the moment. Hence, there will be minimal construction related impact on the public during their construction. Construction related impact on the public at the other six locations will be minimized as a result of night time construction work. Construction-related social impacts will be mitigated by implementing a Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) prepared for the subproject (See Annex 10: Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) for Construction of Transitional Bus Parking of KMTT) D. Eligibility, Entitlement and other Resettlement Assistance 45. The Entitlement Matrix provided in the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) outlines various types of losses resulting from the implementation of subprojects and provides for compensation and resettlement & rehabilitation (R & R) assistance for various categories of affected people. The Matrix 150 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT applies to all sub-projects entailing involuntary resettlement impacts irrespective of the size of the sub- project and the extent of impact. The SIAMP incorporates the provisions from the entitlement matrix which are relevant for the proposed subproject. If at any stage of the sub-project, additional resettlement impacts are identified, the SIAMP will be updated by the SCDP to make provisions for mitigating such impacts. Further, if any of these impacts are linked with land acquisition, an Abbreviated- or a full Resettlement Action (A/RAP) with compensation and R&R assistance in line with the Entitlement Matrix and will be submitted for Bank’s approval prior to its implementation. This Matrix has been prepared considering various categories of losses and impacts identified during the social assessment, which is summarized in Table 6 below. This Matrix is based on applicable Sri Lankan laws, the NIRP and is in compliance with the World Bank‘s safeguard principles of OP 4.12. The Entitlement Matrix offers compensation at replacement cost for loss of livelihoods and incomes.

Public disclosure and information dissemination 46. Public information disclosure and transparency are vitally important governance principles stipulated in the SCDP governance strategy, the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy, the World Bank safeguard policies and the RPF prepared under SCDP. As such, SIAMP will be published in the two national 151 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT languages (Sinhala and Tamil) at SCDP’s website (www.scdp.lk/scdp/) and the World Bank InfoShop after getting clearances from the Bank. Associated webpage links will be published on public media. A public information centre has already been established at the front yard of the Kandy Railway station to share information with the interested parties about the KMTT and the transitional arrangements. The outlet has been so far used by the commuters, shop owners, mobile vendors, government officers and researchers. Figure 11: Information Cabin's View F. Grievances Redress Mechanism (GRM) 47. In order to address any grievances related to the transitional sites in a timely and transparent manner, a multi-tiered GRM has been put in place to address potential grievances during the implementation of the sub-project. Grievance redresses at subproject site level 43 A Social Development Officer of SCDP will be responsible for addressing/recording the grievances at the site level. A log book will be maintained at the information cabin at the Kandy Railway station front yard to record grievances reported either verbally or in writing. Maintenance of the logbook will also be a responsibility of the social development officer attached to SCDP. S/he will take steps to resolve any issues raised by the PAPs. If the social development officer is unable to address the grievances within one week, it will be forwarded to the next level, Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of SCDP. Grievances can be submitted in writing, in-person or by calling. Noticeboards will be displayed at each construction site containing information on how and where to report grievances/ complaints and where the information cabin is located. Grievance redresses at PIU level 44 The PIU Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be represented by the NTC, KMC, SLTB, Ministry of Transport- Central Province, CPRPTA, RDA and UDA, Traders/ Vendors associations of the subproject influence area, GNs , APD/SDO (Secretary), the contractor and two community representatives. The GRC will meet on a weekly-basis depending on the number of grievances received. It will also be responsible for solving grievances within one week period and will be located in KMC premises. Grievance redresses to PMU level 45 If a PAP is not satisfied with the GRC decisions or if the GRC is unable to solve the problem, such grievances will be then be forwarded to the SCDP Project Director (PD). The PD will decide in consultation with the PPAs/PIU at the PMU level. The PMU is located on the 4th floor, Sethsiripaya, Stage 01, 152 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT Battaramulla. PD will be responsible for making a decision within a week of when any grievances related to this project are forwarded to his attention. 153 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT G. Monitoring Plan 46 The compliance with safeguards will be monitored and evaluated in line with the SCDP Monitoring and Evaluation requirements stipulated in the RPF. The PMU will assign monitoring and reporting responsibilities of the transitional sites to the Social Development Officer (SDO) in Kandy PIU. During subproject implementation, this officer will monitor safeguards management while liaising with the relevant government counterparts such as the relevant Deputy Directors of the SCDP project, RDA, UDA, CPRPTA and the district PIU officers. The contractor will recruit a Social Safeguards Officer for on- site implementation of the SIAMP. This officer will prepare all on-site monitoring and review reports and will work closely with the Social Safeguards Officer of the Supervision Consultant. The Contract Supervision Consultant will recruit a Social Safeguards Officer during the implementation of the SIAMP guidelines on behalf of the SCDP. The Social Safeguards Officer will ensure timely submission of the on- site monitoring and review reports to the SCDP monitoring database. The database will be managed by the SDO based in the PIU who will ensure the data entered are up to date, accurate, and easily accessible. A social screening form for each subproject will be developed and completed by the DPD social safeguards and endorsed by the SCDP PD after review. This will be kept in the subproject file at the PMU and shared with the PIU Kandy. If any problems are detected, PIU will take remedial measures and follow up with the responsible parties till they are addressed. PIU SDO will also maintain regular communication with the relevant communities and stakeholders and facilitate remedial actions, follow up and report. She/he will regularly monitor the implementation of SIAMP guidelines in all transitional sites and liaise with the Social Safeguards Officer in this regard. All site level matters will be then discussed weekly with the participation of PIU staff. Monthly Review: 47 A monthly progress review meeting will be arranged at the PIU to discuss the progress of safeguards management where the contractor’s Safeguards Officer, consultant’s Safeguards Officer, and representatives from PPAs and SCDP will be present. Any problems that may arise at the meeting will be communicated to relevant government officials and the contractor for remedial action and follow up. All reviews and actions will be documented and kept in the subproject file at the Kandy PIU. Quarterly Review: 48 The PIU Social Development Officer together with external Safeguards Monitoring Consultant will conduct quarterly review of the implementation of safeguards, which will also include a review of the SIAMP for the transitional sites and monthly monitoring reports. The quartely review will include field visits to verify whether project components are implemented according to the SIAMP guidelines including those related to disclosure and consultation, grievance registration and resolution, disbursement of entitlements, and citizen participation and consultation. The review findings will be shared at a meeting comprising members from the relevant government departments, WB, the design consultant team and the contractors. 154 Resettlement Action Plan-KMTT H. Budget of Implementation SIAMP 49. Since there is no land acquisition involved in this subproject, the Entitlement Assessment Committee (EAC) will assess all private losses and determine compensation to be awarded. The toilet block operator and his assistant of the Bogambara idling Bus Park will be compensated through EAC, while the woman operating the eatery will be provided alternate access that will minimize any losses of income. The SIAMP monitoring cost is included in the budget. 50. The total cost of compensation for the toilet block operator’s loss of income, his assistant’s wages, monitoring, information dissemination and administration related matters is SLRs 602,550 which is equivalent to US $ 4,017 (at an exchange rate of 1US $= SLRs. 150).
