Approach to Project Planning and Identification Selection of Sub-projects

Western Indonesia National Road Improvement Project WINRIP IBRD Loan No.8043-ID Directorate General of Highways, MPW 3 Project preparation, including all feasibility studies and final engineering design of identified works, was initially funded by Grant Funds from the PHRD financing facility and latterly by Australian Trust Funds. Project Preparation Consultants PPC, were appointed in December, 2007 to assist the DGH with full project identification and preparation , and with the final engineering design of all road and bridge sub-projects for commencement in the first 12 months of WINRIP implementation. The original WINRIP PPC Contract concluded their provision of services at the end of October, 2009. Additional WINRIP-related activities were undertaken between 1 May 2010 and 31 August 2010. The WINRIP Loan will provide funding assistance for civil works. It will also provide for Technical Assistance TA during project implementation to assist DGH by way of Core Team Consultants CTC, Design and Supervision Consultants DSC and other TA Services for for road sector institutional development and contingency for disaster risk response. For reference purposes, separate batches of projects will be prepared and implemented. These batches of projects are termed Annual Work Programs AWPs in line with terminology used in other Bina Marga projects. They are not in fact “annual” programs as such but rather a series of multi-year programs, each commencing in consecutive years. Hence, it will called as just Work Programs WPs. It is expected that implementation of the first Works Program WP 1 will commence in the middle of 2012 and be completed by mid late 2014. The second Work Program WP 2 is expected to commence in early 2014 and be completed by late 2015 or middle 2016. The third Work Program WP 3 is expected to commence in early 2015 and be completed by mid 2017. The loan will be closed on December 2017.

1.4 Project Preparation

1.4.1 Approach to Project Planning and Identification

A detailed process of identification, prioritisation and selection of sub-projects for inclusion in the project has been undertaken in formulating the project content for WINRIP. In summary, this involved a hierarchical search process, with a number of discrete steps: • A network screening study of national road betterment needs for the whole of the WINRIP Region, which was conducted mainly using the Integrated Indonesian Road Management System IRMS database; • Identification of major road corridors; • Review of DGH and regional priorities for road improvement; • Selection, prioritisation and programming of projects, particularly taking into account economic viability, possible needs for land acquisition, or further environmental and social impact assessment; • Post-design review of economic viability. For the first year work program, it was necessary to identify projects which can be readily implemented and which could be prepared quickly. In particular, sub-projects requiring major land acquisition or detailed environmentalsocial impact assessment which cannot be completed before end-2010 have been deferred until later in the project. Also, sub-projects for which some Detailed Engineering Design had been prepared by, or for the P2JJ, were accorded a degree of preference for inclusion in WP 1.

1.4.2 Selection of Sub-projects

All sub-projects are required to satisfy economic evaluation criteria and environmental and social safeguards, as summarised below: Economic evaluation: In general sub- projects with an estimated EIRR ≤ 15 were considered for inclusion in the WINRIP. However, other projects considered to be of high priority for social and strategic reasons have also been included. For the IBRD-assisted component, only sub-projects with an EIRR in excess of 15 were included. Environmental Safeguards: It was agreed from the outset of the project that the Environmental and Social Safeguards would be those used for funding by the World Bank. The Environmental and Social Safeguards ESS prepared and agreed for the project are included as Annex 4. Thus, all environmental and social screening and assessment procedures will be undertaken according to the requirements of the ESS, using guiding procedures and key specifications from: • World Bank OP4.01 “Environmental Assessment” and related provisions; • Related GOI regulations and DGH Guidelines. Social Safeguards: Social safeguards have been established as part of a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework LARF, based on World Bank OP 4.12, as set out in Part II of Annex 4. Whether a Simplified Land Acquisition and Resettlement Action Plan SLARAP or a full Land Acquisition and Resettlement Action Plan LARAP is required depends on the numbers of persons affected by the project. Threshold numbers are set out in Annex 4. The presence of any affected indigenous or vulnerable people may trigger the requirement for an Indigenous and Vulnerable Peoples’ Development Plan All candidate sub-projects have been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of the ESS, using the procedures summarised in Annex 4. The environmental and social screening process identifies: • Those sub-projects with significant environmental or social impacts requiring further preparation of an AMDAL 1 or full LARAP, as well as further investigation as required by the World Bank, before they can be considered for implementation; • Those sub-projects with minor environmental or social impacts, requiring preparation of Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans UKLUPL or SLARAP, and Social Impact Assessment SIA; • Those sub-projects for which no further environmental preparation is required, need only Standard Operating Procedures SOP or Surat Pernyataan Kesanggupan Pengelolaan dan Pemantauan Lingkungan SPPL 1 Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment Western Indonesia National Road Improvement Project WINRIP IBRD Loan No.8043-ID Directorate General of Highways, MPW 5
