CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

  1. Project Background. The Neighborhood Upgrading and Shelter Project

• – Phase 2

  (NUSP-2) is aimed to upgrade basic public infrastructure in slum settlements, and contribute

  to meeting Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets for achieving significant improvement

  in the lives of slum dwellers (MDG target 7D) and halving the proportion of urban households

  1

without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation (MDG target 7C). The

NUSP-2 also contributes to the implementation of Cities without Slums Program launched by

  2 the Indonesian Government.

  

2. The NUSP-2 is an ADB-funded project, particularly upgrading and/or developing basic

infrastructure and facilities for selected slum areas at 209 neighborhoods (kelurahan). These

neighborhoods are distributed in 20 districts (kabupaten) and municipalities (kota) located

across Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara and Maluku Islands as shown

in The executing agency of the NUSP-2 is the Directorate General of Human

Settlements (Direktorat Jenderal Cipta Karya) of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing

(MPWH). _{Jabung Barat Tanjung Palangkaraya Kapuas}

Figure 1. NUSP-2 Project Location

  1 The 2015 MDG target for the proportion of the urban population living in slums is 6%; in 2011, 12.6% of the

  urban population lived in slums. The 2015 MDG target for the proportion of households with sustainable access to an improved water source is 75.5%; in 2011, 40.5% of urban households had access to an improved water source, 72.5% had access to basic sanitation. The proportion of households with access to safe water and basic sanitation in slum areas is assumed to be much lower.

  2 The Cities without Slums Program is incorporated in the National Long-Term Development Plan, 2005 –2025. It

  aims to reduce slum areas in cities by 2025 by promoting concerted initiatives by the central and local governments, private sector, and civil society.

  

3. The NUSP-2 assists the local governments in upgrading and/or developing basic

infrastructure and facilities at selected neighborhoods in order to achieve the following: Output

1: Institutional capacities for managing pro-poor urban development strengthened; Output 2:

Infrastructure in slum neighborhoods upgraded; and Output 3: New settlements for poor

families established.

  

4. There are seven types of infrastructures and facilities built under the NUSP-2, among

others, construction of road, bridge, basic sanitation facilities, and communal wastewater

treatment plant; installation of clean water supply and street lighting; and provision of

municipal solid waste handling facility and transportation as well as basic fire-fighting

equipment.

  

5. Objective and Scope of the Monitoring Report. This Annual Environmental

Monitoring Report is developed by NMC Safeguard Team/Project Management Unit of the

NUSP-2 to describe the project activities and associated progress and implementation of the

environmental safeguards requirement of the Environmental Review and Assessment

Framework (EARF) in 2017. Further, this report describes the compliance status of

environmental mitigation and monitoring conducted against the EARF requirements.

Corrective actions identified in the ADB Review Mission in 2017, if any, are elaborated in this

report to improve compliance in the upcoming year.

  CHAPTER 2. KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND PROGRESS

  

6. This chapter summarizes key project activities and progress associated with the

NUSP-2 implementation in 2017. These include the community and complex civil work

contracts awarded as well as the construction of neighborhood infrastructure and facilities to

be constructed as part of the new site development (NSD) during the reporting period.

2.1. Community Contracts

7. In 2017 the NUSP-2 awarded 208 community contracts for neighborhood upgrading civil works (skala lingkungan) to local Community Implementation Organizations (CIO).

  

Construction works that are considered technically modest and can be conducted by the

community without using specialized or heavy equipment qualify for the community-typed

contracts mentioned earlier.are examples of the construction works

awarded under the community contract scheme.

infrastructures at four new site developments (NSD) in Purirano (Kendari City), Sampoddo

(Palopo City), Handil Berkat (Kapuas District), and Jatiwangi (Bima City). The facilities and

infrastructure to be constructed include paving roads, drainage system, clean water supply,

solid waste management system and landscape for open green space for the newly built

neighborhood. The NSD construction work is also implemented by contracted firms selected

through bidding process. As of 2017, some houses in the NSD of Kendari and Palopo Cities

have been developed; and land preparation/clearing for the NSD in Kapuas District and Bima

City is being progressed.

CHAPTER 3. ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AND MONITORING STATUS

  3.1. Requirements of Environmental Safeguards 12.

  According to the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), the NUSP-2 is classified

as the Category B Project, i.e. the project could have some adverse environmental impacts,

but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A, but the impacts are site specific

and can be readily addressed through common mitigation measures. The NUSP-2 creates

positive impacts on the environment and improves the wellbeing of the community through

alleviation of slum areas in emerging cities in Indonesia.

  

13. The Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) document has been

prepared in 2014, and it provides screening procedure and checklist to review environmental

implications of the infrastructure and facility to be constructed as part of the NUSP-2. The

EARF requires that:

 An initial environmental examination (IEE) document according to the ADB requirement is

prepared and endorsed by DGHS and ADB as part of the new site development (NSD) proposal; and

 Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (UKL-UPL) or Statement Letter to Conduct

Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring (SPPL) is prepared and endorsed by DGHS according to the Ministry of Environment Regulations No. 5/2012 on Types of Activities and/or Projects Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL) and No. 16/2012 on the Guidance for the Preparation of Environmental Documents; and Ministry of Public Work Regulation No. 10/PRT/M/2008 on Types of Activities and/or Projects in the Public

Work Sector Subject to be Completed with the Environmental Management Effort-

Environmental Monitoring Effort (UKL-UPL) document.

  3.2. Key Roles and Responsibilities

  

14. summarizes the key roles and responsibilities of the executing and

implementing agencies as well as community organizations involved in the implementation of

the NUSP-2 including their respective environmental responsibilities. Related evidences as an

example on the undertaking of these roles and activities, particularly at the city/district level,

community implementing organization (CIO), and neighborhood level are included in

Appendices 1 to 4.

  Community Implementation Organization (CIO)

   Responsible for establishing project The CIO established the project implementing units in the form of self-empowered community group (Kelompok Swadaya implementation units.

  Masyarakat) to implement the NUSP-2 activities.

   Responsible for conducting The CIO, assisted by the CA and CC, conducted environmental screening by visual inspection and review of the RKM/CAP using environmental checklists assisted by

17. Environmental Monitoring. The CA/CIO visually monitored the implementation of the

mitigation measures to make sure that they complied with the SPPL during the project up to

hand over to the LCO and subsequently to the local community as the beneficiary of the

NUSP-2. They monitored the progress of infrastructure being built by visual inspection and

made some documentation pictures of the progress on 0%; 63% and 100%. These processes

  

16. Some water spraying for dust suppression, covering the construction materials using

tarpaulin, and providing the workers with personnel protective equipment as well as other

mitigation included in the SPPL were reportedly conducted during the construction activities.

However, documentation with this regard is lacking.

  

15. Environmental Mitigation. Prior to construction, the CIO prepared a Community

Action Plans (CAP) including the environmental and social screening using the form/checklist

provided in the the NUSP-2 Technical Guidelines on Social and Environmental Management.

The CA/CIO then conducted a neighborhood meeting to disseminate and discuss the CAP.

The results of the environmental and social screening were incorporated into the SPPL that

was subsequently submitted to the local environmental agency (Badan Lingkungan

Hidup/BLH) for registration. The SPPL contains identified potential environmental impacts and

measures to mitigate these impacts during the construction work. The list of SPPL submitted

for the community contract activities is presented in Appendix 1.

   Responsible for reporting environmental monitoring to LCOs The environmental monitoring is reported using the Form SFG-5 completed with the minutes of meeting of the monitoring at 63% and 100% of construction progress. The minutes and pictures of this activity were uploaded into the NUSP- 2’ website.

  This responsibility was conducted through neighborhood discussion.

were being uploaded into the website of Management Information System through application

by the CA. The City Coordinator would check the uploaded files and gave approval.

  

18. Subsequently, the Safeguard Regional Management Consultant (based in Palembang,

Semarang and Makassar, representing the west, central, and eastern regions of Indonesia)

checked and reviewed the status of the process and made some analysis to be reported to

the Safeguard Team of NMC. The NMC incorporated this report into the quarterly report and

submitted to ADB. However, reporting on the implementation of environmental mitigation

during and after the construction activities were not formally documented.

  3.4. Complex Civil Work Contracts

  

19. Environmental Mitigation. The environmental mitigation implemented for the

complex civil work contracts is similar to that of the community contract in that SPPL is

required for most construction activities of the neighborhood infrastructure and facilities. In few

cases, UKL-UPL document is required instead of SPPL for the mentioned activities. The list of

UKL-UPL and SPPL submitted for the community contract activities is presented in Appendix

2.

  

20. Some water spraying for dust suppression, covering the construction materials using

tarpaulin, and providing the workers with personnel protective equipment as well as other

mitigation included in the SPPL were reportedly conducted during the construction activities.

However, documentation with this regard is lacking.

  

21. Environmental Monitoring. The CCs were responsible for the day-to-day

environmental monitoring during the construction activities, in coordination with LCO. Usually,

they monitored the progress of infrastructure being built by visual inspection, and made some

documentation pictures of the progress (0%; 63% and 100%). The SFG-5 form, provided in

the Technical Guideline, was used to do the monitoring for both social and environmental

safeguard for each activity. The day-to-day monitoring during the construction activities should

be recorded in the logbook. However, reporting on the implementation of environmental

mitigation during and after the construction activities were not formally documented.

  3.5. New Site Development Contracts

  

22. In 2017, the construction of infrastructure and facilities at the four NSD sites in

Kendari, Palopo, and Bima cities and Kapuas District have not been commenced and,

therefore no environmental mitigation and monitoring conducted. The Executing Agency

prepared the UKL-UPL and applied for the Environmental Permit as well as submitted the IEE

of NSD site in Kendari for ADB review. The status of UKL-UPL and Environmental Permit as

well IEE document prepared for the NSD is included in Appendix 3.

CHAPTER 4. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND DISCUSSION

  

23. The NUSP-2 project conducted public consultation as an integral part of the

identification, selection and implementation of neighborhood infrastructure interventions. For

the community contract packages, several stages of neighborhood meetings were conducted

to openly discuss the whole process of development from assessing environmental and social

safeguard checklist, formulating and consolidating the investment plan into community action

plan (CAP), preparing the construction implementation and selecting the Implementing Unit

(Kelompok Swadaya Masyarakat). Through these meetings, all community members and

concerned stakeholders would have such forum to raise their complaints to be resolved. So

far, there is no report of any concerns or complaints addressed to the Implementing Units.

  

24. For the complex civil works, at the pre-construction phase, the City Coordinator (CC)

and City Satker conducted public consultation with the representatives of local communities,

head of Kelurahan, and the contractor firms to discuss the plan for the infrastructure and

identifying potential impacts by screening and reviewing the checklist forms and later

developed the UKL-UPL or SPPL documents based on the screening results. This event was

documented with the minutes of meetings, list of participants, and some pictures, and

uploaded unto the MIS website by the CC for public viewers. The community members and

concerned stakeholders could have used this forum to raise their complaints to be resolved.

So far, there is no report of any concerns or complaints addressed to the related City Satker.

  

25. As for the NSD sites, at the pre-construction phase, there would be two types of public

consultation. The first one is for disseminating information about the NSD project to the local

communities, potential beneficiaries, and job or business opportunities for the locals, as well

as seeking for local community’s perception on the NSD project. The second one is for

discussing and reviewing environmental and social screening checklists to prepare the UKL-

  

UPL document, which later to be further developed as IEE and social DDR documents. This

event would be attended by potential affected communities, the head of Kelurahan, related

agencies or stakeholders, the contractor firms, the CC and Sub-monev assistant, and

facilitated by the City Satker. During this reporting period, there is no public consultation yet

conducted for the NSD.

  CHAPTER 5. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

  

26. Information on public consultation, discussion, and neighborhood meetings related to

the the implementation of community and complex civil work contracts are documented and

uploaded into the NUSP-2 ’s website (www.nusp2.id). However, information related to

monitoring of environmental mitigation measures is lacking.

  

27. For the NSD, the IEE documents (including the EMP) and the annual environmental

monitoring report would be submitted to ADB for d isclosure on ADB’s website. These IEE

documents would have versions in Bahasa Indonesia and would be made available to public

including the affected people and interested stakeholders. As the IEE of NSD is being

reviewed by ADB, no such document has been uploaded into ADB’s website.

  CHAPTER 6. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

  

28. The NUSP-2 has established a grievance redress mechanism (GRM), which basically

consists of three levels, i.e. at the neighborhood, at the city/district, and at the national levels

as shown i This leveling system is expected to timely address any complaints

during project implementation. Local communities or affected people will have the right to file

complaints and/or queries related to disturbance/environmental impacts due to the project

activities.

  

29. The GRM should handle any complaints and/or queries which emerge during

construction process of the subprojects. Any affected people/party will have the right to file

complaints. It is anticipated that all grievances related to benefits and other assistance will be

resolved at the project level.

  

30. The procedure for filing complaints and/or grievance during construction is established

as follows:

(i) The complaint will be filed to the Community Implementing Organization (CIO) or Badan

  Keswadayaan Masyarakat (BKM) members and local government at the neighborhood level for an immediate solution when possible;

  

Figure 6. Grievance Redress Mechanism

  

(ii) If the problem cannot be solved, the BKM members and local government staff will

facilitate the APs (affected peoples) to submit their complaints to the Projects’s grievance redress committee (GRC) at the district level, and to the national level if needed. Community advisor then will record the complaint and report it to the LCOs. The project will dedicate a staff at city/district and national levels to be in charge of handling and following up on A P’s complaints.

(iii) The members of the GRC should involve the representatives of vulnerable affected

people (i.e. affected women, poor and minority groups) and other affected people along with relevant government officials who have functional and legal authority. The committee will then review grievances involving all land acquisition benefits or issues, except for disputes related to ownership.

  (iv)

  Grievances will be addressed within 2 to 4 weeks from the date of filing the complaints at the district level and within 8 weeks at the national levels.

CHAPTER 7. PROJECT STAFFING AND CAPACITY BUILDING 31. The consulting services are provided at the national, regional, city and kelurahan level. At the national level, a team of consultants assist the CPMU, namely the National Management Consultant (NMC) based in Jakarta. Part of this NMC, a safeguard specialist

  

and two technical assistants were recruited to assist the CPMU in preparing social and

environmental management guidelines, checking supporting data and documents from the

field in the project’s Management Information System (MIS) website, incorporating

environmental monitoring in the quarterly progress reports and environmental survey results

in the monitoring and evaluation framework, prepare reports on annual environmental

monitoring and prepare the IEE for the NSD proposals.

  

32. At the regional level, a safeguard specialist was also recruited at each of three

regional management consultant (RMC) teams, based in Palembang (for West Region),

Semarang (Central) and Makassar (East). These RMC safeguard specialist are responsible

for assisting the NMC safeguard team in reviewing environmental monitoring management by

BKMs/CIOs, reviewing the completion of safeguard documents, preparing the environmental

monitoring reports, dissemination of the guidelines, assisting and training the city/district

coordinators and community advisors to review the environmental screening carried out by

BKMs/CIOs.

  

33. In addition to each NSD subproject, there are four technical assistants (called as “Sub-

monev” consultant) responsible to assist in day-to-day monitoring and evaluation for the

implementation of the NSD. This also includes assisting the City Satker, the LCO and the

related RMC Safeguard Specialist in collecting data for IEE preparation, and monitoring the

implementation of mitigation measures set forth in the EMP of the IEE. They are based in the

NSD sites of Kendari, Palopo, Bima, and Kapuas.

  

34. There are city/district coordinators (CCs) based in 20 cities/districts of the NUSP-2

project, responsible in assisting the city/district Satker (PIU), the LCOs, and the community

advisors. The CCs also responsible for conducting review and screening of the environmental

and social safeguard checklist using forms of SFG-1 till SFG-5 provided in the Technical

Guidelines of NUSP-2, both for community contracts and complex civil work packages.

Further, they review the completion of necessary safeguard documents, and review the

quality of documentations uploaded by CCs or CIOs/BKMs in the NUSP-2 MIS website.
