7/8/2020 KARACHI NEIGHBOURHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (KNIP)PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTGOVERNMENT OF SINDH REVISED ABBRIVIATED RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN(ARAP) SAUDABAD CHORANGI TO THADDO NALA BRIDGE INCLUDING DULIZAING OF BRIDGE KHOKRAPAR, MALIR FINAL DRAFT JULY 2020 (R1) Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The city of Karachi has been facing several challenges in city management for the last few decades. One aspect of this has been a significant decline in public access to and quality of infrastructure and public spaces in the city. This has led to impacts on livelihoods and the safe movement of people in Karachi with reduced confidence in governance. To address these issues, the Government of Sindh (GoS), with support from the World Bank (WB), initiated the Karachi Neighborhood Improvement Project (KNIP), with an aim to enhance public urban spaces in targeted neighborhoods and to improve selected administrative services and municipal finance management in Karachi. The KNIP envisages a number of interventions including improving/rehabilitating different roads in Karachi including Malir and its neighborhoods. These interventions involve some small-scale relocation and livelihood impacts along with the demolition of a few structures in section DD, EE, GG & after 2+906 till 130 meters. As the number of Affected Persons (APs) is less than 200, the World Bank OP 4.12 requires the preparation of an Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) to manage these impacts. The ARAP has been prepared and approved by the Bank in September 2019. The revision of ARAP includes a total of 6 households, including 31 household members, who are being impacted in this sub-project due to change in designe in section DD, EE, GG & after 2+906 to 130 meters ahead. This Revised ARAP has been prepared in accordance with the project’s Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) which satisfies the national regulatory framework and the World Bank Operational Policy 4.12 on involuntary resettlement. Overview of the Sub-project Saudabad Chowrangi to Thaddo Nallah Road also called Liaquat Road starts from Saudabad Chowrangi (also known as Saudabad Square) and ends after crossing Thaddo Nallah Bridge Khokrapar No.1, No.2, No.5. The cost of this sub-project is PKR 665,127,382/- while implementation time is only six months from the issuance of commencement letter i.e 25th July 2019. The interventions proposed in the subproject section DD, EE, GG & after 2+906 till 130 meters area include: a) Rehabilitation of existing dual carriageway. Both sides of the road will be rehabilitated/constructed within the existing ROW of the road; b) Improved intersection design for an efficient traffic flow; c) Reconstruction/dualization of the bridge over Thaddo Nallah - Piling for the column will be done in the Thaddo Nallah bed to support the girders and traffic load. i Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh d) Construction of a well-designed carriageway to access Memon Village; e) Improved pedestrian safety with appropriate crossings and junction crossings; f) Provision of bus stops along the subproject road. Footpath from road level will be elevated at 0.30m for easy access; g) Provision of a suitable number of trash bins along the subproject road; h) Provision of safety features such as pelican crossing, bollards, and signboards; i) Relocation of electric poles on the existing carriageway. These poles will be shifted to the footpaths. Also, new poles will be installed along the median; j) Providing road�calming features; k) No stormwater drainage exists along the subproject road. According to the onsite observations, the roadshows major water stagnation in some patches at the start of the section during monsoon. However, the section near the Thaddo Nallah is drained easily. A stormwater drainage conduit is proposed below the footpath along the whole subproject alignment; and l) Improved mobility with well�designed, well�spaced and appropriately distributed bus stops; and Consultation Consultations were carried out with the APs of Section DD, EE, GG & 2+906 to 130 meter beyond of the sub- project area. Consultation meetings and focus group discussions were held to understand and record the views and concerns of the local community on the proposed rehabilitation works. The concerns raised by the communities are recorded and discussed in the community consultation section (Table 4). The objective of the consultations was to provide a platform to the community, to voice their concerns or suggestions regarding livelihood impacts of the sub-project and to develop a sense of collective ownership for the activities of the sub-project. Main Findings The main conclusions drawn from the revised ARAP studies are outlined below: • Minimal or limited livelihood impacts on shop keepers including removal of business structures i.e shops and their loss of income. • Total seven (7) structures which will need to be removed for construction purposes include 2 semi-structured shops (non-operational), 3 shops (operational) and 2 boundary walls. • On completion of rehabilitation work reliability and efficiency of the road, footpaths and traffic flow will be increased. Interventions will have positive impacts on the income of the business community in the project area. ii Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh • To mitigate the adverse impacts due to the removal of 6 mature trees (4 conocarps, 1 Azadirachta indica i.e Neem Tree and 1 white fig), the provision for replanting through the respective contractor has been proposed as provided in RPF with a ratio of 1:5. • The cut-off date for the proposed sub-projects is 3rd January 2020. Resettlement Budget The total estimated cost for the implementation of the revised ARAP is expected to be PKR 1,425,814/- i.e 1.425 million. This includes compensation cost for affected structures i.e shops and boundary walls In addition, the livelihood allowance also allocated in the resettlement budget. iii Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh Table of Contents 1.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The KNIP aims to enhance public spaces in targeted neighborhoods of Karachi and improve the cit y’s capacity to provide selected administrative services. The project focuses on three key areas: (i) improve livability, mobility, safety and inclusion in targeted areas of Karachi city through public space improvements in selected neighborhoods and improved access to pedestrian facilities; (ii) initiate mechanisms for inclusive decision making and planning for the city with different levels of government (provincial and local), private sector and civil society; and to promote citizen participation in this process, and (iii) strengthen city management and institutional capacity while supporting the preparation of a possible follow-on operation in Karachi focused on larger investments and policy reforms. The project has three components. The infrastructure component aims to improve livability, mobility, safety, and inclusion through public urban space improvements in selected Neighbourhoods (Saddar, Malir and Korangi) in Karachi (including both commercial and/or residential areas). The sub-component 1.2 includes Malir Area Revitalization. In Phase-1, Khokhrapar Road from Saudabad Chowrangi to Thaddo Nallah Road has been selected as a priority subproject for implementation in KNIP. 1.1. Background of Sub-project Saudabad Chowrangi to Thaddo Nallah Bridge Road, also called as Liaqat road/Khokrapar Road, starts from Saudabad Chowrangi and ends after Thaddo Nallah Bridge via Khokrapar No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Sabir Colony. The following interventions are proposed in the subproject area: a) Rehabilitation of existing Round About, dual Carriageway and service road; b) Rehabilitation/dualization of Bridge over Thaddo Nallah; c) Proposal of intersection design to improve traffic flow and reduce the frequency of accidents; d) Tree plantation, and greening and enhancing existing area located in the median of side street; e) Improve pedestrian safety with appropriate mid�block crossings, junction crossings; f) LED Lighting, road�calming features; g) Improving drainage; h) Improving mobility with well�designed, well�spaced and appropriately distributed bus stops; I) Developing parking areas; J) Creating areas or trash disposal while addressing DMC's capacity to collect trash and maintenance capacity. 1.2. Revised ARAP The sub-project is a rehabilitation of the existing road and construction of a new bridge. Based on the screening, it is anticipated that the sub-project may have some adverse social impacts associated with the resettlement, within the same vicinity, of a limited number of structures and temporary impacts on livelihood during construction. As the number of APs is less than 200, the World Bank OP 4.12 requires the preparation of an ARAP to manage these impacts. After finalization of alignment fixing, revised ARAP has been triggered. A total of 6 households, including 31 household members, are impacted in this sub-project in section DD, EE, GG and after 2+906 till 130 meters. The present revised ARAP has been prepared to meet the requirements of a subproject with a low to moderate level of negative impact which is localized, in line with RPF-KNIP. 1 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh 1.3. Sub-project Alignment The location of the sub-project is shown in Figure 1 Figure 1: Liner Map of Saudabad chorangi to Thado Nala Bridge Road Saudabad Chowrangi to Thaddo Nallah Bridge Road, also called as Liaquat Road, starts from Saudabad Chowrangi and ends after Thaddo Nallah Bridge via Khokrapar No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Thaddo Nallah. The GPS coordinates of three corners of the subproject area are defined hereunder: 1. Start of Alignment – Saudabad Chowrangi - 24°54'3.23"N, 67°12'4.20"E 2. End of alignment – Just after Thaddo Nallah Bridge - 24°54'39.73"N, 67°13'39.15"E The total length of the subproject road is estimated at 3.0 km. 1.4. Engineering Baseline and Details The existing subproject section has varying ROW and is divided into road sections as mentioned below: Table 1: Existing Road Specifications Sr. No Road track on Road section Length (m) ROW (m) Footpath Width (m) both sides (m) 2 Section EE 207 21.2 8.3 1 m (both sides) The topographic survey conducted by Design Consultant is presented in Annexure-B which represents the features located above the road sections and settings along the roadside. After 2.62 km (Section DD), the road becomes a single track with two lanes and narrows down the ROW. The median in this section is not present. On both sides of the road, the ROW is available with an open area with varying gradient. Figure 1.2: Section DD & EE of existing Subproject Alignment 2 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh After 2+700 from the Saudabad Chowrangi, a single bridge over Thaddo Nallah exists with two lanes till the end of subproject alignment. After 2+860, Bridge over Thaddo Nallah exists which is currently a single-track bridge. Figure 3: Thado Nala Bridge 1.5. Objectives of the Revised ARAP The revised ARAP for the sub-project addresses impacts on livelihood and structures as a result of construction/sub-project implementation. Thus, the focus of this plan is to set out strategies for mitigation of adverse effects and to maintain the living standards of those affected by the sub-project activities. It includes the parameters of the entitlement package for affectees, the institutional framework, and the mechanisms for consultation, grievances resolution and the timeframe for implementation. The following are the specific objectives of this revised ARAP: • To have a design for compensation and livelihood assistance. • To consult with APs about acceptable alternatives including measures which will ensure the orderly and timely shifting of affected structures; • To obtain information about the needs and priorities of the affected people. • To obtain the cooperation and participation of the affected people in implementation. 3 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh 2. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT AND CENSUS SURVEY 2.1. Background This sub-project will need to clear certain measurements of land on both sides of the section DD, EE, GG and after the endpoint (2+906) to 130 meters approximately of the road, defined as the corridor of impact (COI) mostly falling within the Right of Way (ROW) for the execution of civil works. In some areas of these sections, the ROW is occupied by informal businesses . Some shops and boundary walls constructed by local residents for community benefit, also lie in the ROW. 2.2. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement The proposed works under the subproject comprise rehabilitation of the existing road. The execution of the sub- projects is to rehabilitate the existing road and the proposed works will be confined to the already available ROW. The land for the existing road is already owned by the District Municipal Corporation (DMC) Malir. For the assessment and evaluation of these impacts, the following methodology has been adopted. 2.3. Approach and Methodology In order to have comprehensive and detail information, the following techniques and tools of data collection were used. 2.3.1. Census Survey A 100 percent census of the APs was conducted. 2.3.2. Area Profile A comprehensive area profile was prepared to document the socio-economic and demographic data in the study area. The findings are illustrated in the approved ESMP and ARAP of the sub-projects. 2.3.3. Pretesting of Questionnaires In order to test the validity and reliability of the developed questionnaire, interviewing guides were pre-tested in the study area and the questionnaire was reviewed to assess whether questions need to be clarified or changed. 2.3.4. Consultation with women A separate consultation was carried out with women in the subproject area. The views were recorded and are highlighted in approved ARAP which has been disclosed on the project website. The Gender specialist of the PIU led these consultations. 2.3.5. Collection of Secondary Data The secondary data required for the revised ARAP was collected from different departments and existing studies. Besides this, various meetings were also arranged with DMC Malir representatives i.e Assistant Commissioner of related taluka (Taluqa Murad Memon & Taluqa AirPort). 4 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh 2.3.6. Collection of Primary Data The revision of ARAP required the collection of data/information from the sub-project site. To achieve this, comprehensive questionnaires for data collection were prepared. The questionnaires were filled during consultative meetings and field visits. 2.4. Methodology for Census Survey A census of all Affected Households (AHs) was carried out. The census has determined the exact number of Affected Persons (APs) and how they will be affected by the specific impacts of the sub-project. The impact on community and property due to sub-project interventions was assessed through field surveys conducted during the period of 18th November 2019 till 3rd January 2019. The surveys included a census where household level data of all affected households were collected, valuation and status of the land. A checklist was used to establish an inventory of losses of each affected household which included details of potentially affected structures and other assets belonging to each household. Similarly, a separate inventory of losses was prepared in regard to commercial property and public and community structures. The census was conducted and inventory of losses was prepared for all of the potentially affected households. The results of the census survey are presented in Annexure-A. 2.5. Sub-Project Socio-economic and Resettlement Impacts The socio-economic profile of the project corridor includes the description of the area for the entire length of the selected sub-projects. The socio-economic characteristics of the project corridor are based on the area profile, focus group meetings and information collected from the secondary sources. The results of the survey have been furnished in the ARAP and ESMP report of the sub-project. Briefly, all APs are Muslim by religion and Sindhi by ethnicity. Most households are headed by males, no one is below the poverty line as their earning ranges from 21000 to 45000 per month (based on respondents’ approximations as no actual receipts or tax records were available). None of the APs is in the ‘vulnerable’ group category. The Semi Structured Shops were built in 2012. These are non-functional and the shops are without roof. One of the functional shop is selling grocery and the other two functional shops are selling milk. The grocery shop owner is also a govt employee while the owner of the milk shops is soley involved in the milk distribution and retail business in the area. The shop owners are running their businesses themselves and do not have employees. 2.6. Affected Structures Keeping in view the structural integrity of the road, the structures and assets located within ROW which are being impacted have been recorded. These structures comprise 2 Semi-structured shops i.e without roof (non-functional), 3 structured and functional shops, 2 boundary walls. These structures and assets are owned by 6 households with 5 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh a total of 31 family members (15 Male & 16 Female). The impacted structures are located along the inner side of the ROW. A Mosque was constructed in the ROW which will not be disturbed due to civil work the design consultant has already adjusted the roadway into available space in ROW. During constructions, it will also be ensured that peoples’ access to the mosque is not hindered or blocked. The following Table 2 indicates the structures and assets located on ROW. Table 2: Categories of Affected Structures and Persons Sr. Category of Affected Structure Category of Affected Person No No No Semi-Structured shops (without Owner of shops 2 1 2 roofs) 2 Fully structured shops 3 Owner of shops 2 The boundary wall of the cattle Owner of the cattle farm 1 3 1 farm The boundary wall of the Plot Owner of the plot 1 4 1 owner Total 7 6 2.7. Impacts on Women Headed Household During the survey, it was found that no women-headed households exist in these subsections of the sub-project. 2.8. Eligibility Criteria All affected persons will be entitled to compensation based on the entitlement matrix devised in the RPF. Lack of legal documents for customary rights of occupancy/titles shall not affect eligibility for compensation and assistance. Entitlements of APs fall in two broad categories: (i) entitlements for loss of physical property and (ii) entitlements for loss of income. In the first case APs will receive the following compensation: 1) Assistance in amounting to the negotiated value with the APs which is then assessed and agreed value of structures at the time of payment. 2) Cash grants and resettlement assistance such as shifting allowance. 3) In-Kind Compensation of affected structures 2.9. Construction Type of Affected structures All the impacted structures are made from block masonry. 6 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh 2.10. Affected Trees Six mature trees will be felled due to the proposed rehabilitation work and these are not privately owned trees. These assessments were based on a walk through survey along the ROW. The re-plantation1 will be insured in accordance with the RPF as a ratio of 1:5. 2.11. Valuation of Assets A valuation survey was undertaken for estimating the unit rate for compensation of different types of structural losses. In addition, the consultation was also done with APs. Using this data, the unit rates for the valuation of affected structures were determined. The following procedures/methods were used for the proper assessment of unit compensation values of different items/assets located within the ROW as a standard for the valuation of assets. Shops are valued at replacement cost based on the cost of materials, type of construction, labor and other construction costs. (Annexure-E). No deductions will be made for depreciation, salvageable materials or transaction costs and taxes. 2.12. Cut-off Date Eligibility to receive compensation and resettlement assistance will be limited by the “cut-off� date. The cut-off-date is the start of the census of the affected communities which was concluded on 3rd January 2020. This census survey was jointly carried by the representatives of the PIU-KNIP. This cut-off date was shared with the affectees and they were informed that any person entering the project area after the cut-off date is not eligible to receive the agreed-upon entitlements. 1 The re-plantation will be carried out as per Tree Management plan during the implementation of ESMP Malir same as implemented in Saddar sub-project KNIP. 7 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh 3. Compensation and Resettlement Assistance 3.1. General The revised ARAP focuses on providing compensation for the lost assets due to demolition and suggests measures to restore livelihoods to former living standards of the APs. 3.2. Entitlement Matrix Entitlements for different categories of losses and their corresponding APs have been given in the entitlement matrix included in the project RPF. They will be paid compensation to cover a transition period to re-establish their regular earning, relocation costs, and vulnerability. The eligibility of APs will be governed by the entitlement matrix and cut-off dates. Table 3 provides an entitlement matrix for different types of losses and dislocation, based on the Inventory Census. Table 3: Eligibility and Entitlement Matrix Description Specification Affected Compensation Total Unit Cost Total cost PKR People Entitlements Area per meter (PKR) 2 Shops Block masonry 2 Cash 26.74 13993/- 374,172/- (semi- Owners Compensation m2 lump sum structured without roofs i.e Grey Structure only) 3 Shops (fully Block masonry 2 Cash 38.65 16146/- 624,043/- structured, Owners Compensation m2 Livelihood lump sum finished and Allowance for operational) two months as per OPL i.e 17,500/- per month 17500*2=35,000 8 Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh /- to each shop owner 2 Boundary Block masonry 2 Cash 22.35 16000/- 357,000/- walls Owners Compensation m3 lump sum 3.3. Timeline of Relocation by Project Component The timeline is decided by mutual consent to handover the site for the sub-project. 3.4. Compensation Committee A Compensation committee has been formed, headed by Municipal Commissioner-Malir. The representatives of PIU-KNIP (Resettlement Specialist & M&E Specialist), a representative from District Administration (one member), a representative from Civil Society is member of the committee. All payments of compensation will be paid by cross cheques. The committee will verify APs and recommend to PIU for payment of compensation package in accordance with revised ARAP. 3.5. Procedure for Payment As discussed earlier, the project will pay the compensation amount to the APs through the compensation committee of KNIP and APs will be allowed to take away the materials salvaged from their dismantled assets at no costs, despite the compensation paid. The payments will be made through crossed cheque in the name of the recipient AP. 3.6. Resettlement Budget and Financing Compensation will be paid on the basis of the cost estimation after consultation with the APs and mutually agreed/prevailing rates. Compensation cost includes the cost of structures, livelihood allowances in the shape of disturbance for two months. The total estimated cost for the implementation of this revised ARAP is expected to be PKR: 1.426 Million The details of the estimated resettlement budget are given Annexure-A. PIU will prepare a package for sub-project AHHs which includes the following information: 1. Inventory for losses of each AP; 2. Compensation to be paid to APs; 3. The date, time and venue for the disbursement of compensation; 4. Detailing the requirement to present their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) and submit a copy of their CNIC on the date of disbursement; 5.
