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 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 of different roads in Karachi
including Malir and its neighborhoods. These interventions involve some small-scale relocation and livelihood
impacts. 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. A total of 12
households, including 44 household members, are impacted in this sub-project. This 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 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 and
National Coach Last Stop. Cost of this sub-project is PKR 665,127,382/- while implementation time is only six
months from the issuance of commencement letter.
The interventions proposed in the subproject area include:
a) Rehabilitation of existing dual carriage way and side streets. All sections of the road will be rehabilitated /
constructed within the existing ROW of the road;
b) Improved intersection design for efficient traffic flow;
c) Reconstruction / dualization of bridge over Thaddo Nallah - Piling for the column will be done in the Thaddo
Nallah bed to support the girders and traffic load.
d) Construction of a well-designed carriageway to access Memon Village;

e) Improved pedestrian safety with appropriate mid‐block crossings and junction crossings;
f) Provision of twelve (12) bus stops along the subproject road. Footpath from road level will be elevated at 0.30m
for easy access;
g) Provision of suitable number of trash bins along the subproject road;
h) Provision of eleven (11) Pedestrian Crossings at road level controlled by pelican signals and table hump along
the carriageway at footpath level;
i) Beautification and rehabilitation of small deserted park area. This will be developed for suitable play area and
seating space for community with shaded trees, large size boulders, seating arrangement, pavements etc.
with provision of safety features such as pelican crossing, bollards and sign boards;
j) Relocation of 69 electric poles on the existing footpath and median and 46 poles on the existing carriageway.
These poles will be shifted to the footpaths. Also new poles will be installed along the median;
k) Relocation of the street light and telephone poles. Thirteen (13) poles on the existing footpath, greenbelt and
median, while twelve (12) poles on the existing carriageway/roundabout will require relocation. These poles
will be shifted to the median of the road wherever the space is available while avoidance of access to the
commuters.
l) Providing road‐calming features;
m) Rehabilitation of the existing damaged KWSB network and the relocation of manholes which are currently
located in a haphazard way. Relocation of thirty (30) manholes located along the existing service road and
green belt; 70 along existing footpaths and eighty (80) along the existing carriageway and roundabout, and
beneath the proposed footpath;
n) No storm water drainage exists along the subproject road. According to the onsite observations, the road
shows major water stagnation in some patches at the start of the section during monsoon. However, section
near the Thaddo Nallah is drained easily. A storm water drainage conduit is proposed below the footpath along
the whole subproject alignment;
o) Improved mobility with well‐designed, well‐spaced and appropriately distributed bus stops; and
p) Capacity building programs for DMC to ensure effective maintenance
Sub-project Categorization
The implementation of this sub-project will cause relocation and livelihood impact issues due to clearance of
Right of Way (ROW). For execution of civil works, partial demolishing of temporary structures, dislocation of
small business structures i.e kiosk belonging to squatters/informal vendors, and removal of minor shrubs will
take place within the RoW. This ARAP has been prepared to address all resettlement issues and address

impacts on affected persons in order to execute the sub-project in a sustainable manner. The sub-project is
likely to cause low to moderate level of environmental and social impacts in accordance with characterization
criteria as specified in the RPF.
Implementation Arrangements and Plan
The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will be responsible to ensure effective implementation of the ARAP.
The responsibilities in this regard include:

A tentative implementation schedule has been prepared. The implementation plan for the assistance for
affected persons described in this ARAP is to be synchronized with the implementation schedule, including
the procedure of assistance to the Affected Persons (APs) and complete disclosure of project documents to
the public.
Consultation
Consultations were carried out with the stakeholders and communities in the sub-project area. Consultation
meetings, sessions 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 5 & 5.1). The objective of the
consultations was to provide a platform to the community, to voice their concerns or suggestions regarding
resettlement and 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 ARAP studies are outlined below:
• Minimal or limited resettlement impacts on squatters/informal vendors, including dislocation of business
structures, community fixtures, and loss of income.
• There are no temporary land needs for the subproject as the materials will be stored and camps will be set-up
within the RoW.
• The structures which will need to be removed and relocated for construction purposes include 1 water tank
and 1 latrine, and 3 kiosks respectively.
• During construction 6 mobile vendors/hawkers will also be temporarily shifted to another nearby location. The
shifting of kiosks will also impact 1 female employee. (Annexure-A)

• A Mosque Jamia Masjid Toheed falls within ROW. However, this mosque will not be disturbed during the civil
works and access to the community during the construction period will be ensured.
• On completion of rehabilitation work reliability and efficiency of the road and footpaths, and traffic flow will be
increased. Interventions will have positive impacts on the incomes of the business community in the project
area.
• To mitigate the adverse impacts due to the removal of minor shrubs the provision for replanting through the
respective contractor has been proposed.
• Cut-off date for the proposed sub-projects is 16th November 2018.
Resettlement Budget
Total estimated cost for the implementation of the ARAP is expected to be PKR 0.320 million. This includes
compensation cost for affected water tanks, kiosks and informal vendors carrying out their livelihood activities
within the ROW. In addition, the livelihood allowance and vulnerability allowance are allocated in the
resettlement budget.
Institutional Arrangements
Implementation of the ARAP will be responsibility of the PIU-KNIP. The KNIP has full time technical staff i.e
Resettlement, Social Development, M&E, Gender and Environment specialists capable of carrying out the
implementation and monitoring of ARAP. An engineering firm (ECIL) has been recruited which apart from the
engineering staff also has Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) staff. They will report to PIU and prepare the
implementation program, quality of works, delivery of works, and certify the quantities of work carried out and
the payments. They will also be tasked to support the PIU for implementing the ARAP mainly in: consultations
with PAPs and local communities; recording and resolving immediate grievances which arise during the civil
work; and, on site monitoring & supervision.
The Construction Contractor (CC) will be responsible for the on-field implementation of the ARAP. The
Contractor will also be responsible for training the construction crew in all aspects and implementation of the
ARAP. The key positions i.e one HSE Officer and two HSE supervisors (one for social/resettlement and one
for environment) will be filled within the contractor’s staff for implementation of the ARAP.
The regular monitoring of sub-project components and activities will be key to successful execution of the
project. The PIU will engage a firm for the monitoring and evaluation of the project. The firm, apart from the
engineering staff, will also have one environment specialist and one social, resettlement and gender specialist.
The M&E consultants will be responsible for (a) Monitoring of the physical progress; (b) Monitoring and
evaluation of the project impact; (c) Review and supervision of the environmental and social (including

1.2. Subproject Categorization
The ESMF and RPF of KNIP defines that: i) an ESMP and ARAP/RAP will be prepared for subprojects requiring
new construction or having significant irreversible and widespread impacts, requiring land acquisition either
permanently or temporarily; ii) an ESMP (and a ARAP/RAP if needed) will be prepared for medium-sized sub-
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh

projects involving rehabilitation of existing structures, potentially causing low to moderate level of negative but
reversible and localized impacts; and iii) Environmental and Social checklists will be filled for smaller subprojects
resulting in low / negligible impacts.
1.3. ARAP
The proposed sub-project is a rehabilitation of the existing road and construction of new bridge. Based on the
screening, it is anticipated that the sub-project may have some adverse social impacts associated with the
relocation, 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. A total of 12 households, including 44 household members, are impacted in this sub-
project. This 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.
The present ARAP has been prepared to meet requirements of a subproject with low to moderate level of negative
impact which is localized, in line with KNIP-RPF.
1.4. Sub-project Alignment
The location of sub-project is shown in Figure 1.1.
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, National Coach Last Stop and Thaddo Nallah.
The GPS coordinates of three corners of 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
Total length of subproject road is estimated as 3.0 km.

1.5. Project Proponent
The sub-project will be implemented under a loan agreement between Government of Sindh (GoS) and the World
Bank. The Planning & Development Department (P&DD) is the project proponent. The project will execute under
the supervision of Project Director KNIP.
1.6. Engineering Baseline and Details
The existing subproject road has varying ROW and is divided in road sections as mentioned below:
Table 1: Existing Road Specifications
Sr. No Road section Length (m) ROW (m) Road track on both sides (m)
Footpath Width (m)
1 Section AA 610 39.2 21.9 2 m (on one side) and service road of 6.2 m

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. Section AA comprises of dual track with three
lanes and a narrow median. The section also comprises of service road and a wide median of service road which
is also used as public green spot and sitting area. Footpaths/open areas are available on both sides of the road
with varying width.
Figure 1.2: Section AA of existing Subproject Alignment
After 610 m (Section BB & CC), the service road ends and only dual carriageway road exist with footpath/open area
of varying width. After +600, the Green belt (9 to 10 m wide) also ends.

Figure 1.4: Section CC of existing Subproject Alignment
After 2.62 km (Section DD), the road becomes single track with two lanes and narrows down the ROW. The median
in this section is not present. On both side of the road, the ROW is available with open area with varying gradient.
Figure 1.5: Section DD & EE of existing Subproject Alignment
After 2+700 from the Saudabad Chowrangi, a single bridge over Thaddo Nallah exists with two lanes till the
end of subproject alignment. From 1+350 to 2+280, the right track is filled with garbage and dried sewerage
sludge due to damaged sewerage system and unavailability of proper solid waste management and disposal
system.
After 2+860, Bridge over Thaddo Nallah exists which is currently a single-track bridge.

1.7. Objectives of the ARAP
The 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
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 ARAP:
• To have design for compensation and other settlement assistance to be provided before
the starting of civil works.
• To consult with affected persons about acceptable alternatives including measures which will ensure the
orderly and timely shifting of severely affected structures and small business owners;
• To define institutional arrangements for implementation and grievance redressal mechanism
• Monitoring and evaluation
• Time frame and financial implications
• To obtain information about needs and priorities of the affected people.
• To obtain the cooperation and participation of the affected people in implementation.

2. Legal and Policy Framework
2.1. Resettlement Legal and Policy Framework
This ARAP has been prepared in light of Pakistan’s laws relevant to land acquisition and resettlement and WB’s
OP 4.12 for Involuntary Resettlement (IR). To resolve any gaps between the two sets of instruments, i.e. Pakistan’s
Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LAA) and WB’s OP 4.12, Involuntary Resettlement, this framework provides measures
to reconcile and address the gaps in a manner consistent with OP 4.12 compliance requirements.
2.2. National Legal Instruments
2.2.1 Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
The Constitution of Pakistan (1973) clearly addresses the protection of property rights (Article 24) in that it states
that “no person shall be compulsorily deprived of his property save in accordance with law” and “no property shall
be compulsorily acquired or taken possession of save for a public purpose, and save by the authority of law which
provides for compensation”. However, it neither fixes the amount of compensation nor specifies the principles and
manner in which compensation is to be determined and given. Further, Article 4 (sub-clause/a of 1) reiterates the
legislative right of people by stating that: “No action detrimental to the life, liberty, body, reputation or property of
any person shall be taken except in accordance with law”.
2.2.2 National Legislation
In the absence of a specific resettlement policy, the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1894 is the de-facto legal
instrument governing resettlement and compensation to PAPs. However, it does not provide for the Project to give
due consideration to social, cultural, economic, and environmental conditions associated with and affected by
resettlement. Although LAA lays down detailed procedures for acquisition of private properties for public purposes
and compensation, it does not extend to resettlement and rehabilitation of persons as required by donor agencies
including the World Bank. Further, experience in other projects has established that compensation stipulated in the
law may not be adequate to provide for equal or enhanced living status to resettled PAPs.
2.2.3 Pakistan’s Law and Regulatory System for Land Acquisition and Resettlement
The Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LAA 1894) with its successive amendments is the main law regulating land
acquisition for public purpose projects at federal and provincial levels through the right of exercise of eminent
domain. The LAA has been variously interpreted by provincial governments, and some provinces have augmented
the LAA by issuing provincial legislations.
In Sindh, for example, valuation is done through District Price Assessment Committees (DPAC) and approval of
price rests with Sindh Board of Revenue. The law also provides for 15% compulsory acquisition surcharge on top
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh
7
of the value of the land. The LAA, nevertheless, requires that following an impacts assessment/valuation effort, land
are compensated in cash at market rate to titled landowners and registered land tenants/users, respectively. The
LAA mandates that land valuation is to be based on the latest three (3) years average registered land sale rates,
though, in several recent cases the median rate over the past 1 year, or even the current rates, have been applied.
Based on the LAA, only legal owners and tenants registered with the Land Revenue Department or with formal
lease agreements are eligible for compensation/livelihood support. For those without title rights, there are no laws
in Pakistan either at federal or at provincial levels that consider non-titleholders for compensation. The LAA does
not openly or automatically mandate for specific rehabilitation/ assistance provisions benefiting the non-titleholders
including poor, vulnerable groups, or severely affected APs including tenants, encroachers and squatters, nor does
it overtly provide for rehabilitation of income/livelihood losses or resettlement costs. Nevertheless, development
projects financed internationally (by International Financial Institutions-IFIs or bilateral and multilateral lending
institutions) in Pakistan, non-titleholder affectees have been paid compensation/assistance for lost incomes and
assets as an arrangement as agreed between the Executing Agency and APs during consultation meetings.
The law deals with matters related to the acquisition of private land and other immovable assets that may exist on
it when the land is acquired for public purpose. Table 2 below elaborates salient features of the LAA sections
pertinent to acquisition of land. The right to acquire land for public purposes is established when Section 4 of the
LAA is triggered. The LAA specifies a systematic approach for acquisition and compensation of land and other
properties for development projects. It stipulates various sections pertaining to notifications, surveys, acquisition,
compensation and apportionment awards along with dispute resolution, penalties and exemptions. Surveys for land
acquisition are to be disclosed to the Project Affected persons.
Table 2: Salient Features of Pakistan’s LAA 1894
Key Sections of LAA Salient Features of the LAA 1894
Section 4 Publication of preliminary notification and power for conducting survey.
Section 5 Formal notification of land needed for a public purpose. Section 5a covering the need for enquiry of the concerns or grievances of the affected people related to land prices.
Section 6 The Government makes a more formal declaration of intent to acquire land.
Section 7
The Land Commissioner shall direct the Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) to take order the acquisition of the land.
Section 8 The LAC has then to direct that the land acquired to be physically marked out, measured and planned.
Section 9 The LAC gives notice to all APs that the Government intends to take possession of the land and if they have any claims for compensation then these claims are to be made to him at an appointed time.
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh

Key Sections of LAA Salient Features of the LAA 1894
Section 10 Delegates power to the LAC to record statements of the APs in the area of land to be acquired or any part thereof as co-proprietor, subproprietor, mortgage, and tenant or otherwise.
Section 11 Enables the Collector to make enquiries into the measurements, value and claim and then to issue the final “award”. The award includes the land’s marked area and the valuation of compensation.
Section 16 When the LAC has made an award under Section 11, he will then take possession and the land shall thereupon vest absolutely in the Government, free from all encumbrances.
Section 17 Emergency clause that allows acquisition of land prior to compensation of PAPs. This clause will not be applied in any aspect or subproject of KNIP.
Section 18 In case of dissatisfaction with the award, APs may request the LAC to refer the case onward to the court for a decision. This does not affect the Government taking possession of land.
Section 23 The award of compensation to the title holders for acquired land is determined at i) its market value of land, ii) loss of standing crops, trees and structures, iii) any damage sustained at the time of possession, iv) injurious affect to other property (moveable or immoveable) or his earnings, v) expanses incidental to compelled relocation of the residence or business and vi) diminution of the profits between the time of publication of Section 6 and the time of taking possession plus 15% premium in view of the compulsory nature of the acquisition for public purposes.
Section 31 Section 31 provides that the LAC can, instead of awarding cash compensation in respect of any land, make any arrangement with a person having an interest in such land, including the grant of other lands in exchange.
Section 48A (LAA-
1986)
If within a period of one year from the date of publication of declaration under section 6 in respect of any land, the Collector has not made an award under section 11 in respect to such land, the owner of the land shall, unless he has been to a material extent responsible for the delay be entitled to receive compensation for the damage suffered by him in consequence of the delay.
2.3. World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP 4.12)
The World Bank’s experience indicates that involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated,
often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks: production systems are dismantled; people
face impoverishment when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people are relocated to environments
where their productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for resources greater; community
institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority,
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh
9
and the potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate
these impoverishments risks.
Scope and Triggers: The involuntary resettlement safeguards cover physical displacement (relocation, loss of
residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income
sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) Involuntary restrictions on
land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.The overall objectives of the Policy are given
below;
Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project
designs. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as
sustainable development programs. Providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by
the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have
opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.
Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and 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.
The Policy defines the requirement of preparing a resettlement plan (when the project site/s is/are clearly known)
or a resettlement policy framework (where exact site is not known), in order to address involuntary resettlement.
This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishment risks.
The key Principles of World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy are:
The need to screen the project early on in the planning stage,
• Carry out meaningful consultation,
• At the minimum restore livelihood levels to what they were before the project, improve the livelihoods of
affected vulnerable groups
• Prompt compensation at full replacement cost is to be paid,
• Provide displaced people with adequate assistance,
• Ensure that affected people who have no statutory rights to the land that they are working and are eligible for
resettlement assistance and compensation for the loss of no land assets and
• Disclose all social safeguard documents.

2.4. Comparison between LAA (1894) and World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy
Principles and Practices:
Table 2.1 compares the LAA (1894) and the World Bank Involuntary Resettlement policy principles specifically
related to land acquisition and resettlement aspects. The object of this exercise is to identify if and where the two
sets of procedures are in conformity with each other and more importantly where there are differences and gaps.

No equivalent Requirements
Screened and categorized. Scope defined, social assessment and gender analysis undertaken.
2 Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring & evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the Social and cultural institutions of affected persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation
No specific requirement.

2.5. Harmonization with World Bank Policies
The World Bank’s Operational Policies require development interventions to minimize displacement and require
time-bound action plans with measures to restore or improve living condition and income of those affected by
development projects. The harmonization was carried out through a gap analysis involving the 1894 Legislation and
the safeguard policies of World Bank. The harmonization has also draws on best practices in development projects
which have already narrowed down the gaps.
As a result, the Project will implement that compensation is provided at replacement cost for all direct and indirect
losses so that no one is worse off as a result of the project. Provision of subsidies or allowances will need to be
given to affected households that may be relocated, suffer business losses, or may be vulnerable.

3. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT AND CENSUS SURVEY
3.1. Background
This sub-project will need to clear certain measurements of land on both sides of the road, defined as corridor of
impact (COI) mostly falling within the Right of Way (ROW) for execution of civil works. In some areas of this sub-
project, the ROW is occupied by informal businesses/kiosks owned by informal vendors. Some fixtures, constructed
by nearby residents for community benefit, also lie in the ROW. A small number of informal vendors (fruitsellers)
will also be temporarily dislocated and resettled during construction activity.
3.2. 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.
Since the land for the existing road is already owned by the District Municipal Corporation (DMC) South, acquisition
of land is not needed for the sub-projects. No land acquisition is required for the sub-project. There will be no
impacts on residences and families, and they will not be physically dislocated. However, in certain sections in the
ROW there will be limited impacts on informal vendors such as relocation of some businesses and community
fixtures, and temporary impact on livelihood of informal vendors (during construction). For the assessment and
evaluation of these impacts, the following methodology has been adopted.
3.3. Approach and Methodology
In order to have comprehensive and detail information the following techniques and tools of data collection were
used.
3.3.1 Census Survey
100 per cent census of the impacted area was conducted.
3.3.2 Area Profile
A comprehensive area profile was prepared to document the socio-economic and demographic data of in the study
area. The findings are illustrated in the ESMP report of the sub-projects.
3.3.3 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 questionnaire was reviewed to assess whether questions need to be clarified or changed.
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh

3.3.4 Consultation with women
A separate consultation was carried out with women in the subproject area. The views were recorded and are
highlighted in Table 5. The Gender specialist of the PIU led these consultations.
3.3.5 Collection of Secondary Data
The secondary data required for the ARAP was collected from different departments and existing studies. Beside
this, various meetings were also arranged with DMC south.
3.3.6 Collection of Primary Data
The preparation 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.Three types of questionnaires were developed for data collection, as described below:
• Area profile for the collection of macro level information relating to socio-economic condition of the area
• Census and inventory surveys to document the APs, their assets, family profiles and economic status.
• Consultations were held with stakeholders and community members in the subproject area to gauge the social,
economic and resettlement impacts on local community.The construction related impacts identified by the local
community include impacts on livelihood, transportation services, temporary blocking of access to businesses,
traffic diversion, temporarily dislocation of kiosks and informal vendors/hawkers to nearby locations etc.These
effects and requisite mitigation measures such as timing/schedule of civil work, livelihood assistance (e.g.
compensation to APs), traffic diversion plans, etc. were discussed.
3.4. 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 were assessed through field surveys conducted during
the period of 24th October, 2018 till 16th November, 2018. The surveys included a census where household level
data of all affected households were collected.
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.
The primary data is lacking with some basic information i.e CNIC and contact numbers due to confidentiality of
respondents (APs did not share). Due to the recent anti encroachment drive by the government in adjoining
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh
15
neighborhoods areas (not in the CoI), the mobilization in the community was badly affected and small vendors had
no trust on the ARAP survey team and were partially hesitant to share their private information.
3.5. 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 ESMP report of the sub-project.
Briefly, all APs are Muslim by religion and Sindhi by ethnicity. Most households are headed by males. Apart from
one AP, no one is below the poverty line as their earning ranges from 20000 to 35000 per month (based on
respondents’ approximations as no actual receipts or tax records were available). The exception is one female
employee working on a kiosk, who’s income is below the minimum wage and her age is over 65 years. In keeping
with the entitlement matrix provided in the RPF, this woman is therefore entitled to vulnerability allowance.
Vulnerability allowance was also paid to one of the vendors as his age was over 65 years. (socioeconomic details
of APs are provided in Annex-A)
3.6. Affected Structures
Keeping in view the structural integrity of the road, the ROW has been kept as 2.5m and accordingly the structures
and assets located within ROW which are being impacted have been recorded. These structures comprise 1 water
tank (brick masonry), 3 kiosks (Iron made) and 1 latrine. In addition, the assets belonging to 6 mobile vendors (Push
carts) working in the ROW have also been recorded. These structures and assets are owned by 12 households
with a total of 44 family members (21 Male & 23 Female). The impacted structures are located along the inner side
of the ROW. A Mosque (Jamia Masjid Toheed) was constructed in the ROW which will not be disturbed due to civil
work. During constructions, it will also be ensured that peoples’ access to the mosque is not hindered or blocked.
See Annexure-C for some photographs of the structures built on the foot path.
The following Table 3 indicates the structures and assets located on ROW.

1 Mobile Vendor No 69 years Yes
2 Female Employee on kiosk Yes 70 years Yes
3.8. Impacts on Women Headed Household
During the survey it was found that no women headed households exist in the ROW of the sub-project.
3.9. Eligibility Criteria
All affected persons will be entitled to compensation and resettlement assistance based on the entitlement matrix
devised in the RPF. (See Annex D) 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 communities which is the assessed and agreed value
structures at the time of payment.
2) Cash grants and resettlement assistance such as shifting allowance.
3.10. Construction Type of Affected structures
Some of the impacted structures, such as latrine and water tank, are made from brick masonry. The kiosk structures
are assembled from iron. In addition to the impacted structures above, which are already identified, there are
structures which lie close to the construction area or ROW (as per preliminary design drawings) and which may be
affected during construction. These include two walls (surrounding a temporary make-shift open storage space for
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh
17
husk) and the facing wall of a Mosque. Both these structures are constructed from bricks. In the final design,
however, these walls and Mosque are not being affected. All efforts will be made to ensure that no damage occurs
during construction. However, in case during civil work if any possibility of damage is foreseen on these structures
the ARAP will be revised and compensation will be paid to affected parties accordingly.
3.11. Affected Trees
No trees will be felled due to the proposed rehabilitation work. These assessments were based on walk through
survey along the ROW. In case of any unforeseen disturbance to any of the trees or flowering plants, the re-
plantation will be insured in accordance with the RPF. Any fruit or timber trees, if impacted, will be compensated
monetarily in accordance with the RPF.
3.12. Valuation of Assets
A valuation survey was undertaken for estimating the unit rate for compensation of different types of structural
losses. In addition, consultation was also done with APs. Using this data, the unit rates for valuation of affected
structures was 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 valuation of assets;
1. Water Tank and Latrine are valued at replacement cost based on cost of materials, type of construction, labour
and other construction costs. (Annexure-E)
2. The replacement cost of kiosk will not be required as the kiosk will be relocated behind the original position,
about 10 to 15 feet away from the ROW.
As discussed earlier that structures are brick masonry therefore the structures were valued at replacement cost,
type and material of the affected item. No deductions will be made for depreciation, salvageable materials or
transaction costs and taxes.
3.13. 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 16 November 2018. 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.

4. Compensation and Resettlement Assistance
4.1. General
The ARAP focuses on providing compensation for the lost assets due to dislocation and suggests measures to
restore livelihoods to former living standards of the APs.
4.2. Relocation Options
Entitlement provisions for affected persons for losing their structures and sources of income are included under the
entitlement matrix of the KNIP-RPF. The project team has reviewed and explored various potential relocation
options for the project affectees. The team also looked at possible settlements other than the present road side
option, as some local residents suggested relocating affected persons/vendors in Khokara par No 1 near Al-Shamas
hotel. However, this option of Al-Shamas is not feasible for mobile vendors due to high risk of theft of wares which
cannot be mitigated; there are no such security risks for parking vans and buses in this location. Some other options
were discussed with the communities as given in Table 4. The project will adopt a combination of resettlement
approaches, but all resettlement options, requests and agreement will be subject to careful technical assessment,
review and consultation with the concerned communities.

4.3. Entitlement Matrix
Entitlements for different categories of losses and their corresponding APs have been given in the entitlement matrix
included in the project RPF. The relocation of vendors is a physical one as the APs will need to move out of the
construction area. This may have limited impacts on their livelihoods. The Project will provide a choice of relocation
to the APs within the vicinity of the location in which they are currently working. APs may move to such a suitable
area identified by the project proponent or to a site of their own choice. In either case, they will be paid compensation
to cover a transition period to re-establish their regular earning, relocation costs, and for vulnerability.
Eligibility of APs will be governed by the entitlement matrix and cut-off dates. Table 4.1 provides an entitlement
matrix for different types of losses and dislocation, based on the Inventory Census.

4.5. Compensation Committee
A Compensation committee will be formed, headed by Municipal Commissioner South (DMC-South). The
representatives of PIU-KNIP (Resettlement Specialist & M&E Specialist), representatives from District
Administration (Two members), representative (1 member) from Civil Society will be the member of committee. All
payment of compensation will be paid by crossed bank cheques. Vouchers on payment will be prepared in triplicate.
The committee will verify APs and recommend to PIU for payment of compensation package in accordance with
ARAP. The verification process and TORs of the committee will be the part of the notification which will be notified
by competent authority. Payment will be made through crossed cheques and record will be maintained at PIU.
A Project Affected Persons Committee (PAPC) will be established in which all APs will be the members and the
Resettlement Specialist will coordinate with them for ARAP implementation and their grievances.
4.6. 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,

4.7. 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 assistance, subsistence
allowance, wage and vulnerability allowances in shape of disturbance for three months.
Total estimated cost for the implementation of this ARAP is expected to be PKR: 320,000/-. The details of estimated
resettlement budget are given Annexure-A.
PIU will prepare 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 Computerize National Identity Card (CNIC) and submit a copy of
their CNIC on the date of disbursement;
5. Detailing the requirement to obtain a stamp paper from the local court confirming the APs identity;
6. For any AP under the age of 18 or without a CNIC, the AP must provide an affidavit with photograph signed
by the head of local government and additionally CNIC of guardian may also be provided;
7. The requirement to hold an open a bank account in order to receive compensation; and
8. Details of the Grievance Redress Mechanism. These packages shall be distributed to the APs no later than
one month prior to the date of disbursement of funds.
4.8. Updating the ARAP
The ARAP considered as resettlement action for the sub-projects may need to be updated to take into account
changes of unforeseen or additional impacts during the construction phase. The ARAP should be updated (i) prior
to the award of civil works contracts and (ii) during the subproject civil works where design changes during
construction result in changes to the resettlement impacts. The structures reported in Annexure-A will not be
removed until all amended ARAP or addendum (if any) to the ARAP get approved by the World Bank, payments
made and APs vacate the land within the agreed notice period.

5. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION
5.1. Introduction
To comply with World Bank requirements and policies social assessment of projects and, all the sponsors of the
projects resulting in involuntary resettlement required to prepare and publicly disclose a resettlement action plan.
The ARAP must be prepared through a process of public consultation with all interested and affected parties. Proper
consultation with affected parties can increase the effectiveness and reduce the cost of ARAP implementation for
the sponsor or other responsible parties. As discussed earlier, the proposed sub-projects will impact the local
communities living in and around project area to some extent. This chapter provides details of consultations carried
out with stakeholders during the preparation of this ARAP. The executive summary of the ARAP will be translated
into national and local languages i.e Urdu and Sindhi, and disclosed both at site and on the Project website.
5.2. Objectives of Consultation
Public consultation plays a vital role in studying the effects of the project on the stakeholders and in the successful
implementation and execution of the proposed projects. Public involvement is a compulsory feature of resettlement
planning, which leads to better and more acceptable decision-making. The important general objectives of the
Consultation process are:
• Provide key project information to the stakeholders, and to solicit their views on the project and its potential or
perceived impacts,
• Information dissemination, education, and liaison,
• Identification of problems and needs,
• Collaborative problem solving,
• Develop and maintain communication links between the project proponents and stakeholders,
• Reaction, comment and feedback on proposed Project; and
Ensure that views and concerns of the stakeholders are incorporated into the project design and
implementation with the objectives of reducing or offsetting negative impacts and enhancing benefits of the
proposed project.
5.3. Consultation with Project Affected Person
As per Bank Policy, the community members and their representatives were consulted to introduce the project
formally to local community and to obtain their views on development project. The public consultation process in
the sub-project area was commenced during the scoping session of ESMP in 2017. The local community and their
representatives were consulted again and again to introduce the project and their views and suggestions about the
Planning & development Department, Govt of Sindh
23
KNIP were recorded. The PAPs were consulted in conducting the censes survey for preparing the ARAP from 24th
October 2018 to 16 November 2018. The same has been elaborated in Table 5. Various focus group meetings
/discussions /scoping sessions were carried out with all APs. The meetings were held at various locations. In the
meetings affected people were informed about the plans for rehabilitation of the selected area sub-projects. The
consultation process was further intensified through formal and informal meetings including workshop in Malir (CPS
school, Khokarapar No 1 and Khokarapar No 2) for disclosure of project impacts – social and environmental – to
stakeholders for their inputs and feedback.
The purpose of these meetings was to collect the following information:
• Demographic characteristics of the area, such as population, number of households, housing characteristics,
availability of social amenities, ethnic groupings etc.
• Livelihood activities of the project affected persons.
• Women’s role in socio-economic life.
• Existing health and education facilities in the sub-project area.
• reaction towards project.
Following issues were also discussed:
• loss of structures
• Compensation for lost structures
• Consensus on acceptable compensation
• identification of locations for shifting structures and temporary relocation of vendors.
• Consultation with host community.
• Impacts on religious structures during construction.
The affectees raised the following key concerns:
• They do not have access to other areas for purposes of livelihood generation
• They do not want to be relocated far away from their current locations as they generate their livelihood in these
areas (through informal business, wage labor)
• In case of relocation, they have requested that they be accommodated in the same areas
• In case of compensation, the affectees agreed to shift their push carts to some other areas within the same
locality i.e Saudabad Chorangi or Khokrapar No 2 near park.
The concerns of the affectees, including preferences for relocation and not being moved out of the vicinity, have
been addressed in the selection of relocation sites.

5.5. First Round Findings of Public Consultation with Male Community Members
Key findings of consultation with male community members on the sub-project are summarized below:
• In commonly faced problems, community members identified lack of access to clean water (including for
drinking) and good health facilities
• The communities were happy about the interventions to be done under sub-project. These interventions
include improvement/rehabilitation of road, installation of street lights, improvement of bus stops and
pedestrian and construction of new bridge, they agreed that the proposed rehabilitation works are necessary
for the safety of the community and for the uplift of the sub-project area.
• Community members were aware that they will not face any financial loss or other problems after completion
of the sub-project activities.

ARAP are complaints about (i) the location of the project alignment and requests to avoid specific affected assets,
(ii) the omission of some APs in a census, (iii) the identification, measurement and valuation of losses, (iv) the
assessment and disbursement of compensation relative to entitlements stipulated in ARAP, (v) disputes about
ownership of affected assets, (vi) delays in compensation payments, relocation activities or livelihood restoration
measures, (vii) design and completion of relocation sites and facilities, or (viii) the adequacy and appropriateness
of income restoration measures, among others.
The GRM will be set up with a two-tiered structure, one at PIU level which has been established and the second
will be at the field level. Any complaint remaining unresolved at site level will be forwarded to the Grievance

7. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
7.1. Introduction
A cut-off-date has already been announced as 16th November, 2018 during the stakeholders’ consultation process.
After final identification of APs list, the necessary assistance shall be paid by PIU-KNIP. The civil works contractor
shall not be mobilized prior to successful implementation of ARAP in concurrence with World Bank polices. The
PIU-KNIP will not provide compensation to structures which are built after the cut-off date, as it will not entitled to
any compensation in accordance with the entitlement matrix.
The tentative implementation schedule reflects the sequencing and duration of activities planned, the schedule
recognizes that activities will be taking place simultaneously and allows within reason for staggered starts. The
implementation schedule is designed to avoid conflicts. But, as a contingency, time is allowed for mediation, and
the impact this may have on payments is recognized. A certain period is also allowed for grievance resolution
process. Nonetheless, in the spirit of the ARAP, the aim will be to have the process finished within specified time
frame. PIU will ensure that APs are paid entitlements as soon as possible, definitely before commencement of
construction activity. The ARAP implementation will continue till January 2020 till the project is completed to monitor
the situation of APs.

8. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
8.1. Introduction
Monitoring involves periodic checking to ascertain whether activities are progressing as per schedule while
evaluation is essentially a summing up, at the end of the project assessment at the actual achievement in
comparison to those aimed at during the implementation. ARAP implementation will be monitored both internally
and externally.
8.2. Monitoring of ARAP
Monitoring of the implementation of ARAP will be done at two levels. One is internal and the other is external
monitoring. The internal monitoring will be carried out by the ESRU-PIU. The external/independent monitoring will
be carried out by Monitoring and Evaluation Consultants (M&ECs) to be hired by the PIU for the sub-project. The
objective of monitoring and reporting of ARAP implementation is to identify implementation problems and successes
as early as possible so that the implementation arrangements can be adjusted.
Monthly, quarterly and annual ARAP implementation reports will be produced by the ESRU while PSCMS will be
responsible to carry out regular monitoring which will begin at the execution of civil work till the completion of work.
8.3. Participation of APs in M & E
Involvement of APs in the M&E process would give them a sense of ownership and therefore avoid many problems
which could arise during implementation of resettlement activities. While assisting the monitoring activities of the
PIU would also be responsible for involvement of the APs in the process. PIU will assist in selecting members from
the PAPCs to the monitoring and evaluation team and will keep all PAPCs informed of the monitoring process
through provision of monthly reports.
8.4. Reporting
Monthly, quarterly and annual ARAP implementation reports will be produced by the ESRU-PIU, while M&ECs will
be responsible to carry out regular external monitoring.
