ASDP: Environmental And Social Management Framework

watershed management,ground water charging, etc.May involve significant construction issuessuch as spoil disposal management.* Resettlement is also likely to be a factor for most sub project types involving land acquisition or restrictionfor new irrigation sites or extension of existing sites.** Although most irrigation sub projects are expected to be medium scale and therefore fall within aCategory B, it is possible that some may require the use of dams and involve water storage/reservior. Thiscould include the impoundment of large relatively flat areas. As such, these areas could remove land fromcultivation and possibly result in involuntary resettlement. In such cases, the sub project would fall into aCategory A.*** Any sub project with resettlement will be Category B, at a minimum, even if they are less than 50 hairrigation or small market.+ The ASDP Category is B for the program as a whole. Not to be confused with sub project category.d) The SECOND step is to determine which of the World Bank’s safeguards policies maybe triggered by the sub-project and what the requirements are to comply with thetriggered policy.e) This requires the sub project potential owner/implementer/operator to use theSafeguards Tables in Annex A. Further information on these policies is available on theBank’s website, www.worldbank.org.f) The assumption is that the Environment Assessment OP 4.01 is already triggered andhence the need for compliance with this ESMF. OP 4.01 is included in Annex A toprovide additional guidance and information to the sub project potential owner /implementer / operator. Therefore, compliance by the sub project potentialowner/implementer/operator with this ESMF process is deemed to be accepted ascompliance with OP 4.01.The following Safeguards Policies are not included in Annex A, because they are notlikely to apply for the reasons noted in brackets next to the OP.;1.Indigenous Peoples (OD 4.20) ( no recognized indigenous people in URT)2.Projects in Disputed Areas (OP 7.60, BP 7.60, GP 7.60) (no disputed borders withneighbors of Tanzania).3.Projects on International Waters (OP 7.50, BP 7.50, GP 7.50) ( To be addressed at thenational level by the government of the URT by bank appraisal of the ASDP and not bysub project owner/implementer/operators.)g) However, Annex A contains information to help the potential operators determinewhich of the following Bank safeguard policies may be triggered by their sub project;1. Environmental Assessment (OP4.01, BP 4.01, GP 4.01) (Always Applies)2. Pest Management (OP 4.09)3. Natural Habitats (OP 4.04, BP 4.04, GP 4.04)4. Forestry (OP 4.36, GP 4.36)5. Cultural Property (OPN 11.03)6. Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)7. Safety of Dams (OP 4.37, BP 4.37)h) If any of the Bank safeguards policies are triggered by sub project, the owner /implementer/operator will modify the design, implementation, operation, maintenance8/114
