Cut-off-date means the date after which people will not be considered eligible for compensation, i.e. they are not included in the list of APs as defined by the census. Dekhan Farm means farms, usually midsized, that are legally and physically distinct from household plots, for which full user rights but not ownership is allocated to either individuals or groups. Regulations concerning Dekhan farms in Tajikistan are laid out in the Law No. 48 on Dekhan Farms, dating from 2002. Detailed measurement survey means the detailed inventory of losses that is completed after the fixed road alignment for the LARP Part I and detailed design and marking of Project boundaries on the ground for the LARP Part II. Affected persons (APs) means all the people affected by the Project through land acquisition, relocation, or loss of incomes and includes any person, household (sometimes referred to as Project affected family), firm, or public or private institution. APs therefore include; i) persons affected directly by the road corridor, right-of-way, tower or pole foundations or construction work area; (ii) persons whose agricultural land or other productive assets such as trees or crops are affected; (iii) persons whose businesses are affected and who might experience loss of income due to the Project impact; (iv) persons who lose work/employment as a result of Project impact; and (v) people who lose access to community resources/property as a result of the Project. Encroachers mean those people who move into the Project area after the cut- off date and are therefore not eligible for compensation or other rehabilitation measures provided by the Project. Entitlement means the range of measures comprising cash or kind compensation, relocation cost, income rehabilitation assistance, transfer assistance, income substitution/business restoration, which are due to APs, depending on the type, extent and nature of their losses, and which suffice to restore their social and economic base. Hukumat This is the District administration Inventory of losses means the pre-appraisal inventory of assets as a preliminary record of assets to be affected or lost as a result of the Project Jamoat This is the Sub-district administration under each District Land acquisition means the process whereby a person is compelled by a public agency to alienate all or part of the land s/he owns or possesses, to the ownership and possession of that agency, for public purposes, in return for fair compensation. Non-titled means those who have no recognizable rights or claims to the land that they are occupying and includes people using private or state land without permission, permit or grant, i.e. those people without legal title to land and/or structures occupied or used by them. ADB’s safeguards explicitly states that such people cannot be denied compensation. Oblast a Region in Tajikistan Poor means households falling below the monthly income of TJS 1020/- (per household per month) 1 . Presidential Land means land for which use rights have been allocated by Presidential Decree but ownership remains with the state. Replacement cost means the method of valuing assets to replace the loss at current market value, or its nearest equivalent, and is the amount of cash or equivalent in kind needed to replace an asset in its existing condition, without deduction of transaction costs or for any material salvaged. Reserve Fund Land means land owned by the state and controlled by the district administration that may be rented, mainly for agricultural use. Sharecropper means the same as tenant cultivator or tenant farmer, and is a person who cultivates land they do not own for an agreed proportion of the crop or harvest. Significant impact means 200 people or more will experience major impacts, which are defined as; (i) being physically Affected from housing, or (ii) losing ten per cent or more of their productive assets (income generating). Vulnerable means any people who might suffer disproportionately or face the risk of being marginalized from the effects of resettlement and includes; (i) female-headed households with dependents; (ii) disabled household heads; (iii) poor households (within the meaning given previously); (iv) landless; (v) elderly households with no means of support; (vi) households without security of tenure; (vii) ethnic minorities; and (viii) marginal farmers (with landholding of five acres or less). 1 A poverty line of TJS 181 per month is used. This is derived from the poverty line of US$41 / month provided by the World Bank Country Brief for Tajikistan 2009 and an exchange rate of 4.41 TJS/US$. 10 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Description of the Project. The Republic of Tajikistan has received Grant 42052 from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for implementing CAREC Corridor 3 (Dushanbe– Uzbekistan border) Improvement Project (the Project). The civil works funded under the Project comprise the upgrading of the existing road section from West Gate to Tursunzade to a 4-lane road including road widening, minor realignment and improvements, upgrading the existing 2- lane Tursunzade to the Uzbekistan border and improvement of facilities at Dusti Border Post. 2. Scope of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan, Phase I (LARP I). LARP I is prepared by the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan (MOT). It addresses the land acquisition and resettlement impact associated with the Project, and provides an assessment of compensation to the affected persons and Affected households, due under the Tajikistan law and according to ADB requirements on Involuntary Resettlement as embedded in the ADB's Safeguards Policy Statement (2009). The civil works will be procured through a design-build contract. Land Acquisition and Resettlement for the Project will be prepared and implemented in two phases. The first phase of the LARP (LARP I) corresponds to four road segments for which the road design corridor/alignment was finalized before the award of the civil works contract, based on the preliminary design. It covers 36.26 km of the road, whereas the entire length of the road is 57 km. The implementation of LARP I is expected to commence two months before the award of the civil works contract, to enable the contractor to commence the construction works as soon as it prepares the detailed design for the four road segments listed in the following table.

This amount includes 5% contingency to cover the cost of eventual complaints or any other costs that may arise during the implementation. The total budget for both phases of LARP is estimated at TJS. 7,403,062. This amount includes the finalized cost of LARP I and a cost estimate of LARP II. 7. Public Consultations. Consultations with the affected persons and other major stakeholders were conducted at various stages of the Project preparation. Consultations with affected people conducted during the preparation of LARP I dominated by discussions on methodology for evaluation of affected assets, compensation entitlements and LARP implementation phases. During the preparation of the Draft LARP and final LARP I, the following activities involved consultations at various levels: 1. a screening survey, 2. land census survey, 3. socio-economic survey and 4. targeted consultation meetings with Affected persons and local stakeholder organizations, government officials and individuals 5. informal consultations with each affected person 6. consultations with agencies involved 7. wide consultations with affected people 8. Grievance Redress Mechanism. The EA established the grievance mechanism for complaints in both resettlement and construction period. During the resettlement period, Affected persons have the right to file complaints and/or queries on any aspect of land acquisition compensation and resettlement at three levels: first to the Grievance Redress Committee, second to the Resettlement Working Group Committee in MOT, and finally, if no solution is reached, the affected person can submit her/his case to the court. During the construction period, all persons living along the Project road whether or not affected by resettlement may claim damages for losses of property due to the Contractor’s construction activities or design, under the third party insurance policy that will be provided by the contractor in the joint names of the contractor and the employer. 14 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General 9. The Republic of Tajikistan has received Grant 42052 from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for implementing CAREC Corridor 3 (Dushanbe–Uzbekistan border) Improvement Project (the Project). The civil works funded under the Project comprise the upgrading of the existing road section from West Gate to Tursunzade to a 4-lane road including road widening, minor realignment and improvements, upgrading the existing 2-lane Tursunzade to the Uzbekistan border and improvement of the infrastructure and facilities at Dusti Border Post. 10. The Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan, Phase I (LARP I) is prepared by the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan (MOT). It addresses the land acquisition and resettlement impact associated with the Project, and provides an assessment of compensation to the affected persons and Affected households, due under the Tajikistan law and according to ADB requirements on Involuntary Resettlement as embedded in the ADB's Safeguards Policy Statement (2009). 11. The civil works will be procured through a design-build contract. Land Acquisition and Resettlement for the Project will be prepared and implemented in two phases. The first phase of the LARP (LARP I) corresponds to four road segments for which the road design corridor/alignment was finalized before the award of the civil works contract, based on the preliminary design. The implementation of LARP I is expected to commence two months before the award of the civil works contract, to enable the contractor to commence the construction works as soon as it prepares the detailed design for the four road segments. 12. The second phase of the LARP (LARP II) will correspond to the remaining segments of the road for which the design corridor and the road alignment were not finalized before the award of the civil works contract. It will be prepared after the award of the civil works contract, when the contractor finalizes the remaining road alignment. 13. MOT formed a Working Group for land acquisition and resettlement planning in March 2009 to establish an appropriate methodology for determination of a fair compensation for the loss of assets. The Working Group is headed by the first deputy Minister, MOT and it includes representatives from the National Management, Geodesy and Mapping Agency, the State Unitary Enterprise “Research and Planning–Surveying Institute; and representatives of the Hukumats of Rudaki, Gissar, Shakhrinav and Tursunzade Rayons. 14. The Hukumats representatives participated in the preliminary survey of Affected persons and their assets from October and December 2009 and issued notices of cut-off dates relating to registration of affected assets, in November 2009. Copies of these notices are included in Appendix 4. 15. Representatives of Hukumats, the Agency on Land Management and Geography, the State Committee on Investment and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan, the team of resettlement specialists conducted a detailed measurement and evaluation of the affected assets from November 2010 to January 2011. 16. The final updated LARP will be translated into Russian. A leaflet/pamphlet containing a brief description, eligibility criteria, the entitlement matrix and implementation schedule was distributed to all AHs and APs by the representatives of MOT (refer to (Appendix 3). 1.2 LAR-Related Project Implementation Conditions 17. Based on ADB safeguards requirements and practice Project implementation will be subjected to the following LAR-related condition: Commencement of Civil Works: Conditional to the satisfactory implementation of the final LARP to be vouched for by a compliance report prepared by the IM. 1.3 Scope of LARP I 18. LARP Phase I corresponds to four longer road segments that will be handed over to the contractor 60 days after the commencement of the civil works contract. The finalization of the road design corridor/alignment for these segments before the award of the contract enabled a precise measurements of assets affected by the resettlement and finalization of the LARP I. (Table 1) The list of road segments for which the design corridor was finalized and which were included in LARP I is shown in the following table. A schematic representation of the parts of the site included in LARP I and LARP is given in Appendix 12. Table 1.1 Road segments included in LARP I Road segment From (km) To (km) Length (km) 1 7+550 14+120 6,57 2 17+060 21+500 4.44 3 26+500 34+000 7.5 4 43+800 61+550 17.75 Total 36.26 19. The Project Management Consultant will assist MOT to finalize LARP II during the design phase of the civil works (design-build) contract. The general conditions of the civil works contract contain the provision that, under the terms of ADB Grant, the contractor must not commence the phase 2 of the civil works until LARP II is finalized, approved by the Government of Tajikistan and ADB, and implemented according to the set guidelines and requirements. 1.4 Project Road Description 20. The Dushanbe–Tursunzade–Uzbekistan border road traverses the districts, or Rayons of Rudaki, Gissar, Shakhrinav, and Tursunzade, in this order as the road moves west from Dushanbe down the Gissar valley. The total length of the road is 61.5 kilometers (km). The road heads west, south-west from Dushanbe to the Uzbekistan border in eastern Uzbekistan. It is the main route for road traffic and transported goods to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan from Dushanbe and the southern regions of Tajikistan including agricultural produce from the Gissar valley. It is the vital trade route for most Tajik imports and exports to and from the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran. 21. Consideration of the mid-point traffic volumes, levels of service and the environment through which the road passes lends to dividing the road into five sections/packages for design 16 and implementation purposes. These road sections are (1) Avicenna Monument to West Gate, (2) West Gate to Gissar Junction, (3) Gissar Junction to Shakhrinav roundabout, (4) Shakhrinav roundabout to Tursunzade Junction and (5) Tursunzade Junction to the Uzbekistan Border. The summary details of various road sections are described in following table. Project location map is shown in the Figure 1. Table 1.2 Project road sections Download 254.31 Kb.
