Road density in Sri Lanka is higher than that in many developing countries. However, road

network standards and conditions are inadequate to meet the rapidly growing freight and

passenger traffic. This situation limits the contribution of roads to national development, economic growth, and poverty reduction. To ensure sustainable and regionally balanced

economic growth within the country, the existing road infrastructure must be improved and

upgraded.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has supported the reform program and finances the

improvements & upgrading of national highways (NHs). On 15 December 2005, ADB Board

of Directors approved a loan of $150 million from its ordinary capital resources to help

finance the National Highways Sector Project. The Project is the first sector loan in Sri Lanka. The Loan was signed in Colombo on 14 December 2006 and became effective on 20

February 2007.

A major change of project scope was approved on 9 November 2010 to meet the highway-

upgrading cost increase and included (i) cancelling the component to finance land

acquisition and resettlement along Colombo links and (ii) reducing the pilot performance-

based maintenance component to 300 km from the 1,500 km originally envisaged.

With a minor scope change in February 2011, the road improvement component under the

original loan consists of a total of 238 km national highway sections as shown in table below,

and performance-based maintenance support for 108 km of national highway, which component was completed by the end of December 2012.

On 4 October 2010, the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID) agreed to provide

a US$8 million loan and ADB agreed to administer the loan as co-financing under the

project. This was targeted to upgrade about a 14 km section of a Colombo link from

Nugegoda to Homagama (A004) to improve the linkage from Colombo to the Southern

Highway.

The main impact of the additional financing loan is sustainable and regionally balanced

economic growth contributing to reduction of poverty. The outcome is improved accessibility

and connecting through an upgraded and maintained national highway that lowers transport

cost and travel time.

The project will contribute significantly to the urban/semi-urban/rural communities who have been suffering from unbearable traffic congestion created by bad and narrow condition of

roads with lack of road behavioral pattern and accident prone traffic environment. The six

road roads have been made a links with southern expressway and the main cities in western

and southern provinces.

The interviews revealed that men and women like poor employees in beneficiary area could

reach their work place early after the proposed road development. They will have more time

to engage with extra earnings or spend time with family members. Inhabitants are certainly ready to increase their mobility. In this context, improved road will contribute and motivate

these people to convert their impoverished houses in to semi-permanent or permanent

conditions; pit latrines to sanitary toilets; access to safe drinking water sources and

electricity. The cost of land will be increased rapidly with the development, and resulting economic surplus through high cost of land will be invested in economic ventures generating

accelerated economic growth.

It is anticipated to achieve 10% increase of traffic volume, 25% reduction in travel time, 15%

reduction in maintenance cost per Km, reduction of staff per Km and 15% reduction in

vehicle operating cost. Other than that, the project will contribute to increase the usage of

southern expressway and it may effect to development of the tourism.

IIIIII.. OOUUTTPPUUTTSS

The National Highways Sector Project(NHSP) first additional financing has been improved

about 49.4 kilometers of National highways comprising 31.60 km in the Western Province and 17.80 km in Southern Province. The benefit of the road development project is gone to

western and southern provinces.

The main output of the project is rehabilitation and upgrading of six road section and these

selected roads about 49.4 Km is shown in table of selected road sections of first additional

financing of NHSP.

The road has been widened, upgraded and realigned as necessary to meet the projected

traffic demand for the next 20 years. The pavement is designed for life up to 10 years that

could be extended to 15-20 years with proper maintenance and axle load control. Bridges,

drainage structures and culverts have been improved and replaced as necessary. Along the

project highways, the need for axle load measurement has been identified and weight station

will be provided accordingly as part of the civil works contracts. Road safety audit will be built

into the engineering designs and followed through during construction.

The Project will contribute to the improvement of the overall performance of the road sector by improving transport efficiency and widening access to economic opportunities. The

beneficiaries will be people, companies, and government and nongovernment agencies in

Sri Lanka that use road transport services directly and indirectly. Communities served by the

project roads will benefit from improved, lower cost, and faster transport services, and thereby obtain improved access to economic opportunities and social services. Transport

operators carrying both passengers and freight will benefit from improved roads in terms of

lower vehicle operating cost, time savings, improved road safety, and thereby, increase

productivity.

Government and nongovernment agencies served by the project roads will improve their

service delivery due to improved transport efficiency. The main quantifiable benefits of the

highways improvement will be savings in transport operating costs.

VV.. RRIISSKKSS AANNDD AASSSSUUMMPPTTIIOONNSS

The benefits and positive impacts of the Project will materialize, assuming that complementary external assistance and the Government’s commitment in developing the

national road network and economic infrastructure will continue. The major risks for the

Project are (i) risk of flooding and the avoidance of further property acquisition; (ii)

inadequate post project road maintenance; and (iii) delays in land acquisition and resettlement due to inadequate counterpart funding. The risks have been mitigated in (i) the

provision of additional cross drainage in these areas was also compromised by the limited

availability of suitable lead-away possibilities, (ii) the establishment of a dedicated road

maintenance trust fund, and (iii) government commitment to include the Project in its core projects starting in FY2006 to ensure that budget allocations for it will be provided and

sustained. The Project will also finance land acquisition and resettlement expenditures of the

Colombo links.

VVII.. SSCCOOPPEE OOFF SSOOCCIIAALL SSAAFFEEGGUUAARRDDSS

The six sub projects have been classified as category A with respect to the Safeguard Policy

Statement, 2009. There are six separate resettlement plans have been prepared for all the sub projects to mitigate and address the resettlement impacts of sub projects and associated

losses. The resettlement plans have been prepared based on the Government’s Land

Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950, ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) and National

Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) 2001.

The Economic and social assessment found no indigenous people residing in the project

influence area or affected by the project. Most project communities are Singhalese, the rest

being majority Muslim or Tamil. The project will support the equal treatment of all groups,

particularly when land acquisition is required for road widening.

Men and women engaged in construction during subproject implementation will be paid equally for equal work, which will be monitored by construction supervision consultants.

Although the proposed additional financing will not directly empower women, it will provide

opportunities to ensure benefits to women through improved public transport services and

better access to education, health care, markets, etc.

The project has been introduced Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) associated with

ADB’s safeguard policy. The GRM is support genuine claimants to resolve their problems

through mutual understanding and consensus reaching process with relevant parties.

Conduct of Socio-Economic Surveys and Preparation of Resettlement Plans for the A024,

B153, B157, B207, B084 and A004 Highways under ADB Loan 2767-SRI. Socio economic

surveys were conducted for the above highways to ascertain the degree of socio-economic impact on the affected population as a result of acquisition of properties for the improvement

and widening of the relevant highways

Methodology Adopted

Two sets of questionnaires were used to gather information

Land Acquisition (Census) Questionnaire

Socio Economic Questionnaire

5

While total affected population was subjected to the land acquisition survey, a sample of

20% was surveyed to collect information on social issues.

During the land acquisition surveys the data was collected on all assets to be lost including

plants and trees. Socio economic survey was conducted to gather information on house hold

income and expenditure patterns, health status, indebted nests, communication networks, community participation, health parameters, gender issues and migration patterns.

Two local universities were hired to conduct the surveys assisted by the Resettlement

Assistants and supervised by the Resettlement Consultant attached to the project. Data was analyzed electronically by the two universities and the Environmental and Social Division of

the RDA, and required information for the preparation of resettlement plans were generated.

IIXX.. PPRREEPPAARRAATTIIOONN OOFF RREESSEETTTTLLEEMMEENNTT PPLLAANNSS

Resettlement plans were prepared and updated by the Resettlement Consultant hired by the

PMU and Resettlement Experts hired by the PMU, with some inputs at the later stage from External Consultants employed by the ADB which have been already dealt by the

consultants hired by the PMU. The resettlement plans were reviewed by the ESD before

they were submitted to ADB for approval.

In keeping with the national policy of minimizing impact on the affected and the social

safeguard policies of the ADB where it categorically states that where possible acquisition should be avoided, action was taken by the PMU to revise the design of the highways

without compromising the utility value of the highways to realize the intended purposes for

which the project had been conceived. The strategies adopted were to reduce the platform

width of the highways where buildings are located in order to avoid demolition of parts of buildings .and in certain instances to avoid buildings completely by adjusting the center lines

towards the land owned by state organizations. The final land surveys are at the completion

stage to accommodate the subsequent changes made to the design. This measure has

resulted in the number of affected coming down drastically.

Road Development Authority being the execution agency for road development has

administrative responsibility for implementation of the project under general supervision of

the Ministry of Ports and Highways (MoPH). MoPH has established Project Management

Units (PMU) for execution of special projects due to their importance, priority, magnitude of investment and external collaboration etc. PMUs have to accomplish a time-bound

programme through a planned set of interventions agreed upon by concerned authorities.

PMUs work under the general supervision of RDA, but have direct linkages and access to

MoPH to expedite their work. Thus, PMU is the focal institution responsible for RP’s implementation at operational level. PMUs have been strengthened with certain degree of

financial autonomy and administrative flexibility subject to the guidance and supervision

of the Ministry of Ports and Highways and directives of the General Treasury.

Opening of a new road or improving and widening existing roads involve

accomplishments of several legal and social requirements in addition to their construction

related work. In this regard, several agencies have direct involvements with these activities

and early identification of them has several advantages for project implementation. Following are the key state agencies that will have direct involvement with resettlement interventions;

• Ministry of Ports and Highways

• Ministry of Land and Land Development

• Divisional Secretary and his staff including Grama Niladaris

• Survey Department

• Valuation Department

• Government Printer

• Central Environmental Authority

• Urban Councils

• Ceylon Electricity Board

• Water Supply and Drainage Board

• Sri Lanka Telecom Ltd.

Contractors and consultants employed by the PMU, Community Based Organizations of DPs, NGOs and other civic organizations also play a significant role in the implementation

process of the road project.

i. Project Management Unit

The Project Management Unit is headed by Project Director, whose staff consisted of

engineers, technical officers, consultants, land acquisition & resettlement staff and the

administrative staff.

ii. PMU performs following major activities;

Conduct awareness meetings with stake holders to disseminate information in respect of the

project and make continuous efforts to update information with necessary feedback and

support two-way communication regarding information collection and dissemination

• Distribute informative bulletins to ensure transparency

• Conduct Land Acquisition and Resettlement (LARS) and Social and Economic (SES)

surveys to collect necessary data for resettlement planning

8

• Coordinate and assist the land acquisition process with the DS, Survey and Valuation

departments and other relevant government agencies and DPs

• Prepare Resettlement Plans and implement them with the aim of restoring/improving the

lives of the Displaced Persons at least to the pre project level.

• Support execution of reasonable compensation package to realize the objectives of the

NIRP.

• Assist/ and coordinate with relevant agencies to restore/improve the income of the DPs

• Coordinate with the community based organizations to assist the DPs in resettlement

activities.

• Identify resettlement sites in consultation with the DPs and host communities when

necessary

• Assist DPs on resettlement in new sites selected jointly

• Expedite the payment of compensation by assisting the DS and the DPs

• Coordinate/monitor the activities of GRCs.

• Assist vulnerable; including women and poor.

• Monitor the resettlement plan with identifiable indicators.

• Develop a plan to address gender concerns.

• Implement the construction programme through contractors and supervision consultants.

• Monitor the construction programme.

• Prepare/submit required periodic reports to the relevant state agencies and ADB.

• Ensure flow of funds to maintain a healthy cash flow

• Maintain MIS for the project with networking to MoPH and RDA

iii. ESD & Land Division

ESD & Land Division are the focal divisions of RDA for safeguard compliances. ESD assists

PMU in conducting the Land Acquisition and Resettlement and Social and Economic

surveys including training of survey enumerators and data analysts. Reviewing of RPs is a

major function of ESD before they are submitted to the external authorities, including ADB.

ADB has assisted to establish and improve ESD with its technical assistance support in

2006/2007.

iv. Divisional Secretariat

Divisional Secretary is responsible for civil administration of the division and hence land

acquisition comes under his/her purview within the division. He/ She have coordinating

responsibilities of all development work, in addition to planning and implementation of its own development projects/ programmes in the division. DS is empowered with statutory

provisions to acquire land and vest them with the agencies that required land under LAA.

Similarly, before commencement of construction, RDA has to wait till DS vest land in RDA

after going through LAA process. Although, formally all land acquisition work has to be done

by the DS office, now for acceleration of the process, PMU assists DS for various activities

of the acquisition, including arranging meetings with DPs and other stakeholders, preparation of paper work and gazette announcements for DS signature, and distribution of

DS office notices to public. DSs are happy with this arrangement as it helps him to overcome

DS office resource constraints with regard to land acquisition.

v. Field Office of the PMU

A field office will be established to facilitate the land acquisition and resettlement inclusive of

income restoration activity. This office will be located within the project area. A Resettlement Assistant will be stationed at this office with supportive staff to attend to the problems of DPs

and take necessary actions to solve them under the guidance of Project Director/ NHSP. It

9

will help DPs to have better solutions by way of coordinating DPs and relevant authorities

that are functioning in the areas where DPs need attention. Especially, this field office will be

an attractive resource center for DPs who need income restoration support. It will be equipped with information required for various types of livelihood development

opportunities and post product situations, including marketing. This office will help DPs to

identify feasible income generating ventures and implement them successfully with the

support of PMU.

vi. Disclosure and Public Consultation

Twelve public meetings were conducted among the primary stake holders to disseminate

information in respect of the above projects in addition to 28 meetings conducted with the

affected people of other 07 projects which are implementing under the National Highways

Sector Project Additional Finance to engage in a continuous dialogue with the affected and

interested people. The continuous telephone message which we receive daily from the

public on the status of the roads where land acquisition has been temporarily suspended is

an indication of the impact of consultations meetings PMU had with them. Sinhala version of

the entitlement matrix and the information flyer in both Tamil and Sinhala languages were distributed among the affected people.

In addition that, the consultation has been continuing in different stages of the land

acquisition process. The land acquisition process has different gazette notification like Section 02, Section 38(a) and Section 7. Those gazette notification has been distributed

among the displaced persons. Moreover, the Resettlement Assistants are appointed by the

project to each and every sub project. Those officers always work with displaced persons to

solve their problems and assisted to DP’s livelihood restoration.

vii. Grievance Redress Mechanism

Grievance Redress Committees were established at each sub project to attend to the socio

and environmental impacts that may be experienced by the affected during the construction

period. Workshops have been conducted to apprise the GRC members on their role and

systems and procedures to follow. An instruction manual was distributed among the GRC members to facilitate their activities. Resettlement Assistant attached to relevant DS division

will function as the Secretary of the GRC. The following table shows present status of the

GRC meetings of the project.

Information of Resettlement Plan

The project road, Hikkaduwa-Baddegama-Nihena road (B 153) runs through agricultural and

semi-urbanized areas, hence the influence area is reasonably rich in human settlements and

commercial establishments. As per the information available with the preliminary plans

prepared by the Dept. of Survey for this road section, 1202 lots2 have to be acquired. The total area extent of 1202 lots is 3864.3 perches; consisting of private individuals owned 1041

lots with 3176.2 perches, commonly owned 24 lots with 132.4 perches and government

agencies owned 137 lots with 555.7 perches.

This entire land extent of this road section is located within Hikkaduwa, Gonapinuwela and

The impacts of acquiring private lands have far more effect on DPs compared to acquiring

public/ common property land. Thus the RP made special focus on private lands affected by

the acquisition in view of taking appropriate measures to mitigate negative impacts falling on

private individuals.

A majority of land lots to be acquired are commercial and residential properties amounting to

around 77.4 percent of the land lots and 70 percent in area extent under private ownership.

The resettlement implications with these land lots are that their values are high and mostly owned by economically and socially better off group of people whose expectations and

aspirations are also high with regard to restoration of their lives. The next highest land use is

seen with non-agriculture activities with the use of 12.2% of lots with an extent of 13.2% of

lands in extent to be acquired, amounting to 419.7 perches. The non- agriculture lots cover an area without a house or any other structure, but may have trees or bare land portions

without generating any income. In a sense, they are potential land lots for future residential

and commercial uses. As land use for agriculture purposes are not very prominent along

public roads running through human settlements, only 9.9% of land lots are recorded being used for agricultural purposes with 16.9% of the total land extent, representing 540 perches.

while 128 DHs, owing 691.1 perches have fallen between 50% -100% impact levels with regard to loss of residential or commercial land. In altogether, 407 DHs (43% of DHs), owing

1886.5 perches are facing with more than 10% impact level and only 330 DHs, owing 349.4

perches have impact less than 10%. The land area related to more than 10% impact level

accounts for 58.7% of the total extent of 3176.2 perches belong to private individuals; requiring adequate interventions to mitigate adverse effects falling on DHs.

Present status of land acquisition

The land acquisition for the sub project started sending the acquisition application to Ministry

of Land and Land Development on 10th of October 2007. The land acquisition process has

been preceded up to Section 9. Now Section 9 inquiry and LARC meetings are is in progress. Payment of compensation is also ongoing. Summary of the Land Acquisition

process of Hikkaduwa – Baddgegama - Nilhena Road is given below.

Information of Resettlement plan

The project road section of, Horana-Anguruwatota-Aluthgama road (B 157) runs through a

semi-urban and agricultural area, and hence the influence area is reasonably rich in

human settlements and commercial establishments. As per the information available with the ATs and PPS prepared by the Dept. of Survey for this road, portions of land within 632 lots

have to be acquired. The total area extent of 632 lots is 3026.0 perches. The entire land

extent of this road section is located within Beruwala and Mathugama DS divisions of

Kalutara district.

The impacts of acquiring private lands have far more effect on DPs compared to acquiring public/ common property land. Thus the RP made special focus on private lands affected by

the acquisition in view of taking appropriate measures to mitigate negative impacts falling on

private individuals.

A majority of land lots to be acquired are commercial and residential properties amounting to

around 81.73 percent of the land lots and 60 percent in area extent under private ownership. The resettlement implications with these land lots are that their values are high and mostly

owned by economically and socially wealthier group of people whose expectations and

aspirations are also high with regard to restoration of their lives. The next highest land use is

seen with agriculture activities with the use of 10.77% of lots with an extent of 19.55% of lands in extent to be acquired, amounting to 573.5 perches. The agricultural lands are mainly

paddy and rubber. The land use for non-agriculture is not very prominent along this road as

its only 6.85% with 22.16% of the total land extent, representing 649.8 perches. The non-

agriculture lots cover an area without a house or any other structure, but may have trees or bare land portions without generating any income. In a sense, they are potential

land lots for future residential and commercial uses.

Kirulapona – Homagama section of A 004 road runs through a densly populated and

urbanized area, and hence the influence area of the project is rich in housing stock and

commercial establishments. Considering the impact to the society (economic and social

impacts) and the urgency of developing the road section, the designs were completed in such a way that four operational lanes could be accommodated within the available Right of

Way (ROW).

This road section is located within the DS divisions of Timbirigasyaya, Dehiwala, Kotte, Maharagama and Homagama. Although land acquisition was not required few impacts to the

public occurred during construction. These issues were resolved through GRC.

The project road, i.e the section from Pamankada to Kesbewa of Colombo-Horana (B 084) road runs through densely populated urban and semi urban areas, and hence the influence

area is reasonably rich in human settlements and commercial establishments. As per the

information available with the ATS and PPs prepared by the Dept. of Survey for this road

section, 1532 lots have to be acquired. The total area extent of 1532 lots is 7337.4 perches; consisting of private individuals owned 1404 lots with 6822.3 perches, corporately owned 27

lots with 99.2 perches, commonly owned 24 lots with 132.5 perches and government

agencies owned 77 lots with 283.5 perches.

This entire land extent of this road section is located within Thimbirigasyaya, Dehiwala and

A large number of land lots to be acquired are commercial and residential properties

amounting to around 85.9 percent of the land lots and 58.3 percent in area extent under private ownership. The higher percentage value in land lots (85.9%) and comparatively less

percentage value in area extent (58.3%) represent smallness of area extent of individual lots

located in urban and semi-urban areas. Land is the most scare resource in the affected area.

The average size of an individual land lot in project area spread over three DSDs is small as 4.8 perches. The resettlement implications with these land lots are that their values are high

and mostly owned by economically and socially better off group of people whose

expectations and aspirations are also high with regard to restoration of their lives. The next

land uses such as agriculture, non-agriculture and access roads play a comparatively low

role occupying 5.9%, 2.6% and 5.5% respectively. The non-agriculture lots cover an area

without a house or any other structure, but may have trees or bare land portions without

generating any income. In a sense, they are potential land lots for future residential and

commercial uses. As land use for agriculture purposes are not very prominent along public roads running through human settlements, only 5.9% of land lots are recorded being used

for agricultural purposes with 32.3% of the total land extent, representing 2207.6 perches.

21

Unlike to residential and commercial lots, the size of agriculture lots is comparatively larger

showing an average extent of 26.5 perches. The agriculture (paddy) land use is seen only in

Kesbewa DS division which is the end section of the road towards Horana away from Colombo, approaching country side gradually.

The above table shows that there are 65 DHs, owing 1154.8 perches have 100 % impact

while 647 DHs, owing 2213 perches have fallen between 11% -100% impact levels with

regard to loss of residential or commercial land. In altogether, 712 DHs (53.2% of DHs), owing 3467.8 perches are facing with more than 10% impact level, and only 444 DHs, owing

513 perches have impact less than 10%. The land area related to more than 10% impact

level accounts for 51.0% of the total extent of 6822.3 perches belong to private individuals;

requiring adequate interventions to mitigate adverse effects falling on DHs.

2781.2 perches owing to 122 DHs will have more than 10% impact level while only 60.3

perches owing to 66 DHs will have impact less than 10%. The land area under

agricultural/non agricultural use having more than 10% impact level accounts for 40.7% of

the total private land to be acquired. Although agricultural and non agricultural lands contain sizable portion (40.7%) of the total extent of private land, this portion is owned by only 8.5%

of the total DHs units (1404). This disproportional relationship between the extent of land

and the number of owners reminds us the smallness of land available for residential and

commercial purposes and the use of more land per unit of agricultural production. Agriculture being a land base production system, it needs more land for a production unit than for non-

farm activity.

Displaced Households amounting to 727 have lost 788 primary structures in the categories of shops, houses and shop cum houses while 807 DHs have lost 878 units of secondary

structures like parapet walls, toilets and wells etc. As revealed in the survey, 67 shops

belong to 65 DHs, 28 houses belong to 27 DHs, and 15 shops cum houses belong to 13

DHs need relocation. Permanent displacement will occur to 78 shops belong to 78 DHs and 54 workers belong to 54 DHs. Rental accommodation is lost for 384 DHs. The loss of trees

is around 275 belong to 57 DHs. Apparently, PMU has taken precautionary measures to

minimize adverse effect of the project, and therefore need for relocation elsewhere has been

reduced to 110 units of houses, shops and shop cum houses (all primary structures) belong

to 105 DHs, out of 1338 total DH units, representing a small fraction as 7.8% of the total DHs

units.

4 INCOME RESTORATION PROGRAMS (IRP)

The Income Restoration Programme for National Highways Sector Project (NHSP) has been

completed. Under this program, the NHSP had conducted three programs for the

Pamankada – Kesbewa road(B084), Aluthgama-Southern Expressway Road(B157) and

Hikkaduwa-Baddegama road(B153) projects respectively. The IRP has been prepared and

implemented to uplift the affected families’ income and livelihood activities due to road

widening. The program has been started in 2nd of September 2013 and completed on

December 2014. The progarmm had been conducted by the consultant hired by the project.

The completed work programme is mentioned as below;

Completed tasks

The Consultant has conducted pilot Social, Economic Surveys for the each project area prior

to the program implemented. Then the details were collected from land owners and families

who are going to be affected by the road constructions. They were given their consent for

livelihood trainings under the IRP program. Accordingly the progamm had been designed

and implemented.

The Consultant conducted several discussions with the selected families to obtain their

expectation form the livelihood trainings.

Business Development officer and social development officer had met needy families

regularly and discussed their social and business problems.

After that the office premises had been established at Katuwawala and Gonapinuwala for a

B084 and B157, B153 roads respectively with easy accessibilities.

According to the training plan prepared by the Income Restoration Team, they had started

the livelihoods development training programs and had successfully been completed. The
