- Description:
- Consulting Service for the Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan Deferred and Routine Maintenance Dredging of the Odaw Drainage Basin in Ghana under a Performance Based Contracting Approach.
The Ministry of Works and Housing has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.
The Project will be implemented through five-interrelated Components, namely:
1. Climate Resilient Drainage and Flood Mitigating Activities;
2. Solid Waste Management Capacity Improvements;
3. Participatory Upgrading of Targeted Flood Prone Low Income Communities and Local Government Support;
4. Project Management; and
5. Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) - COVID-19 Emergency Preparedness and Response Project.
The overall objective is to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) to be implemented prior to commencement of the dredging activities, and depending on the assessed loss of livelihoods, prepare a standalone Livelihood Restoration Plan (LRP) beyond compensation, to be implemented as a follow-up to the RAP. The RAP preparation process includes the full assessment of the potential adverse project impacts on local livelihoods and economic activities and prescribes fair and appropriate compensation and/or livelihood restoration and improvement measures for project-affected persons (PAPs). The RAP must be consistent with the policy objectives and requirements of both the World Bank policy OP 4.12.
The consulting services (“the Services”) of the Resettlement Action Plan for Deferred and Routine Maintenance Dredging of the Odaw Drainage Basin in Ghana will include the following;
a) Conduct a census of all Project-Affected Persons (PAPs) to inform the RAP and other associated management plans such as Livelihood Restoration Plan;
b) Identify and engage all Project Affected Persons in a participatory manner to conduct inventory and evaluate the potential impacts of the project on landholdings, structures (both residential and businesses), and the livelihoods and economic assets of local communities. The inventory/asset survey will be the basis for valuation and compensation and other appropriate mitigation measures);
c) Assess and determine PAP eligibility for impact mitigation measures, including entitlement to compensation, replacement for land, provision of skills training, and livelihood restoration plan for waste pickers and fishermen.
d) Prepare a RAP that sets out the mechanisms by which impacts will be mitigated based on the principles, procedures and implementation arrangements established in the project RPF by establishing clear parameters for impact mitigation, institutional mechanisms for RAP implementation, mechanisms for consultation, time schedules, and a budget for RAP implementation and the implementation of the LRP;
e) The RAP should further identify and recommend specialized assistance for vulnerable individuals and households that may be directly impacted by the project;
f) Create awareness about the project and consult local communities on all anticipated impacts on their assets and livelihood activities;
g) Establish, via the RAP, local decision-making bodies that will be part of RAP implementation and compensation negotiations;
h) Develop, in a participatory manner, a costed Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM), to be included in the RAP and implemented as an integral part of the project; and
i) Propose a monitoring and evaluation system to track and monitor progress and completion of RAP activities prior to commencement of works.
The assignment is expected to start in January, 2021.
The duration of the assignment is 10 weeks including submission of the Final RAP
