E-mail: vc@udsm.ac.tz Website: www.udsm.ac.tz March 2024 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The SoAF Kunduchi Sub-project is one of the Higer Education for Economic Ttransformation (HEET) Projects being implemented by the UDSM at various locations in the country under the World Bank Financial Support. The HEET Project is divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers the MJNM Campus, CoICT-Kijitonyama, and SoAF-Kunduchi, and Lot 2 covers the Ngongo Site in Lindi Municipality, Likunja Site in Ruangwa District, and IMS Buyu in Zanzibar. According to the WB requirements, the environmental and social impacts assessment must be conducted for this project in accordance with the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), Environmental and Social Safeguarding Policies and relevant Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs), which aim to offset the anticipated social and environmental risks and impacts. Therefore, in compliance with the WB requirements, the ESIA study was conducted for the SoAF-Kunduchi Project. The objective of the ESIA study was to identify potential environmental and social risks/ impacts associated with the project and thereafter propose appropriate mitigation measures for the identified adverse (negative) impacts and enhancement measures for the identified beneficial (positive) impacts. The intention is to maximize the project benefits and avoid or minimize adverse impacts, and to ensure the project is being implemented in an environmentally friendly and socially acceptable manner. The ESIA study involved a review of relevant project documents, including national policies, legislations, and World Bank Safeguard Documents such as the Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), ESH Guidelines, and Environmental and Social Standards. The document review was followed by fieldwork, which was mainly conducting a visual inspection of the project site to establish the existing baseline conditions and conducting stakeholder consultation to obtain their views/concerns/opinions regarding the project. Therefore, the purpose of this executive summary is to present some major findings from the ESIA study. Project Description The objective of this project is to undertake the construction of Lecture rooms and Fisheries/Aquatic Laboratory Building at the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM) School of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries (SoAF)-Kunduchi Campus. The building will be comprised of the Ground Floor and First Floor, whereby the Ground Floor will consist of two wings. The First Wing will be comprised of a Lecture Theatre with Sanitary Facilities. The Second Wing will comprise of a Cold Room, General Storage Room, Chemical Room, Lab Scientist’s Office, Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Lab, Working Room, and Sanitary Facilities. On the First Floor, the building will be comprised of two Lecture Rooms with associated Sanitary Facilities. The total construction cost of the proposed building is estimated to be Tanzania Shillings (TZS) 1,231,405,000.00. The project will be funded by the Government of Tanzania and the World Bank (WB) through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) under the project named Higher Education for Economic Transformation (HEET-P166415). The UDSM will be the implementing Agency through the dedicated Project Implementation Unit (PIU). The construction period is estimated to be about 18 Months, whereby 1 month will be for the mobilization period, 16 months will be for the construction period, and 1 month will be for the demobilization period. After the construction period, the Campus infrastructure will be operated for an estimated period of 50 years. Thereafter, the Campus infrastructure will have to undergo renovation. The campus is subject to expansion depending on the funding in future. Policy, Legal and Institutional Arrangement The relevant Acts, policies and legislations relevant to this project are listed hereunder: • Environmental Management Act No. 20 of (2004) ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. • The Water Supply and Sanitation Act No. 12 of 2009 • Land Act no 4 (1999), Cap. 113 R.E. 2019 • The Urban Planning Act (2007) • Occupation Health Safety (2003) • Employment and Labour Relations Act No. 6 of 2004 • Engineers Registration (Amendment) Act, 2007 • The Contractors Registration Act (1997) • The Architects and Quantity Surveyors Act (1997) • The HIV and AIDS (Prevention and Control) Act of 2008 • The Local Government Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act (1999) • The Tanzania 2025 Development Vision • Environmental Impact Assessment and Auditing (Amendment) Regulations (2018) Furthermore, this ESIA study has also complied with the following tools: World Bank’s new Environmental and Social Framework (ESF); The World Bank Environmental and Social Safeguarding Policy for Investment; WB relevant Environmental and Social Standards. This ESIA study has applied 6 relevant standards out of 10 Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs), which are: • ESS1- Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts; • ESS2 - Labor and Working Conditions; • ESS3 - Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management; • ESS4 - Community Health and Safety; • ESS8 – Cultural Heritage; and • ESS10 - Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure Baseline Environmental and Social Conditions The project site forms boundaries with Fish Hatchery to the east; access road to the west, north-west, and north-east; and Block Fence Wall to the south-east, hence demarcating the boundary of SoAF Campus from Kunduchi Wet “N� Wild Park. The proposed SoAF Building Site can be accessed through a 250 m unpaved road connected to the Kunduchi Road. The project site is located about 200 m from the shoreline, considered an environmentally sensitive area. However, Section 57(1) of the EMA Cap 181 prohibits human activities or construction within Sixty (60) meters of the shoreline. Therefore, it can be concluded that the location of the proposed building complies with the requirements of Section 57(1) of the EMA Cap 191. The project site is a built-up environment with several planted trees and short grass with patches of bare areas. In addition, there is marshland on the eastern side of the project site, which is used to discharge wastewater from sanitary facilities. There is no any important wildlife inside the project site, although the presence of birds cannot be overruled due to the presence of trees. The important features that are found within the proposed construction site include 3 electricity power poles. The electricity power poles will be relocated before the commencement of construction works, hence resulting in the disruption of the electricity power supply. There are several trees, mainly Cocos nucifera, Azadirachta indica and Mangifera indica, inside the proposed construction site, and about 30 trees were counted during the site investigation. The trees will have to be removed before the commencement of construction works, hence resulting in the loss of ecological functions and landscape quality. Stakeholder Identification and Consultation The following are the identified stakeholders during the EIA study: UDSM ii February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. • Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) • University of Dar Es Salaam • Division of Environment in the Vice President’s Office (VPO-DOE) • National Environment Management Council (NEMC) • Tanzania Fire and Rescue Force • Occupation Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) • Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC) • Kunduchi Ward Development Committee • Mtongani Street (“Mtaa�) Development Committee • Tanzania National Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) • Tanzania Telecommunication Company Limited (TTCL) • Local Community Members In general, stakeholders do support the project because they believe it will benefit them and the nation as a whole. However, the stakeholders have raised some issues and concerns regarding the project. The raised issues/concerns were analysed to determine the most affected VEC based on the number of issues/concerns raised for each affected component. The analysis indicates the stakeholders were mainly concerned about the provision of infrastructure to SoAF; sharing of research results; solid and liquid wastes management; reduction of GBV, avoiding child labour, HIV/AIDS prevalence; employment, air pollution, and noise nuisance. In general, the stakeholders support the project because they believe it will benefit them and the nation. However, the stakeholders have raised some issues and concerns regarding the project. Identified Issues/concerns by Stakeholder Representatives The following is the summary of identified issues/concerns by the consulted stakeholder representatives: • The project is very useful because it will increase the number of students taking fisheries courses and these students are potential employees in our research industry. • The project will give more rooms for exchanging and improving research results for both TAFIRI and SoAF. • In a near future, TAFIRI and SoAF will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for TAFIRI to also use the lecture theatres and conference rooms. • TAFIRI also invites the potential students for field attachment in our institute as young or senior researchers. • The project is very useful for TAFIRI and our office will collaborate with SoAF in research and conducting laboratory tests. • The proposed building is close to the Wet and Wild Hotel and we expect the hotel owners to use contemporary devices to minimize sound which may disturb students during lecture sessions. • The Contractor must apply for temporary power for construction and during completion application must be submitted for the operational stage. • During construction dust and noise emission must be minimized to so that customers at the Wet and Wild Hotel are not affected. • During lecture sessions the music sounds will be minimized through sound proof devices not to disturb the students and college staff in general • During lecture sessions the music sounds will be minimized through sound proof devices not to disturb the students and college staff in general. UDSM iii February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. • The project is very important and we encourage the University to construct many hostels for girls, because girls living off campus face many challenges including unwanted pregnancies which results into single mothers, and street children. Identified issues/concerns by Local Community Members. The following is the summary of identified issues/concerns raised by the consulted local community members: • There will be a spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections because of labour influx. • During construction, many people will come as employment speculators, and the security of the properties and people may be at stake. Moreover, the rate of crime may increase as a result of the influx of people. • There is an increase in Gender Based Violence (GBV) in our community, where women are forced into sexual relations when selling goods to construction workers and sometimes abusive language and touching without the consent of women. • Our experience shows that the influx of people or job speculators poses a threat to the supply of medicine, including drugs, in our dispensary. We would like to encourage the Contractor to supplement medical facilities/equipment and drugs to meet the demand of newcomers and local communities • We expect the project will assist the TPDC Community in the construction of pit latrines in our schools Recommendations from Stakeholder Representatives The following are some of the recommendations provided by the consulted stakeholder representatives: • The access road should be improved to allow workers and tourists to visit old graves of different nations. The area is the only place where Swahili civilization is portrayed. • The contractor must be cautioned not to use/utilize water from the old wells found in the antiquity area because it is one of the historic and heritage assets. • During construction, Contractor workers and the school community in general must be educated on the spread of HIV/AIDS and STDs. • We recommend the Contractor use the TAFIRI laboratory for material testing, and if possible, some of the TAFIRI employees can conduct on participate in the SoAF project as trainees in soil and rock testing. • The design must provide appropriate means of collecting liquid waste because the number of students will increase, and the current sewerage system cannot accommodate much liquid waste. Recommendations from Local Community Members The following are some of the recommendations provided by the consulted Local Community Members: • The contractor should give priority to employment to the people hailing along the project site during the construction. The residents (youth & women) may be involved in some activities as labourers during the construction phase. Furthermore, carpenters and masonry in the community should get first priority in getting skilled labour in the construction. • UDSM must ensure the entire workforce at the construction site is covered by appropriate insurance policies. Also, first aid should be provided at work, as per the CRB's requirement. • The Contractor should minimize noises, dust and vibration caused by heavy machines during construction. Project Alternatives UDSM iv February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The following project alternatives were considered for this project based on the techno- economic, environmental and social criteria: • “No Project Alternative�; VS “Project Alternative�-The project Alternative was selected in favour of the: No Project Alternative� due to its long-term social and economic benefits • Labour Intensive VS Machine Intensive Construction Methods “Labour Intensive Method� and “Machine Intensive Method� were considered to be useful but with more emphasis on labour-intensive due to their ability to create temporary employment with less environmental, health, and safety risks than the “Machine Intensive Method. • Diesel Engine Alternative VS Solar Power Alternative -The Sola Power Alternative was selected in favour of the diesel engine due to its less environmental impact than the diesel engine alternative. • WSP Alternative VS Connection to Central Sewerage System. (CSS) The CSS Alternative was selected in favour of WSP due to the lack of space for WSP. Potential Environmental and Social Impacts The following are the identified beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) environmental and social impacts that are likely to occur during the construction and operation phase. The details on enhancement measures for the identified positive impacts and mitigation measures for negative impacts are provided in Chapter 7 of the ESIA Report. Environmental Impacts • Creation of air pollution due to dust and exhaust emissions. • Creation of noise nuisance and vibration effects. • Landscape degradation and loss of aesthetic value of the surrounding environment. • Loss of ecological functions and landscape quality. Social Impacts • Creation of employment opportunities for local people due to recruitment of construction workers. • Creation of income generation opportunities for local people due to increased demand for food from construction workers. • Increased enrolment of students and revenue for the institute due to the availability of space after the construction of lecture rooms and laboratory building • Increased revenue for infrastructure/ utility service providers due to increased power and water supply demand. • Risk of construction-related accidents. • Increased prevalence of HIV/AIDS and STI transmission • Increased risk of COVID-19 transmission • Occupational health and safety risks. Environmental and Social Management Plan The purpose of ESMP is to ensure that the project is being implemented with minimum adverse environmental and social impacts. The ESMP focuses on the avoidance of impacts or mitigation of potential impacts associated with project-related activities and the enhancement of project benefits. It specifies mitigation and institutional measures to be taken during the construction and operation phases to eliminate any adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them or reduce them to acceptable levels. In order to be effective, the ESMP has specified roles and responsibilities of various institutions. The responsible institutions for ESMP implementation include the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM) on behalf of the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania; the World Bank (WB); Supervision Consultant; Contractor; Division of Environment in the Vice UDSM v February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. President’s Office (VPO); National Environment Management Council (NEMC) and Local Government Authority (LGA). The ESMP also recognizes the important role being played by various stakeholders, whether directly or indirectly. The important stakeholders/agencies identified in this ESMP include the Dar Es Salaam City Council (DCC); Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC); Fire and Rescue Force, Occupation Health and Safety Authority (OSHA); Ward and Villages Development Committees, and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)/Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) dealing with project-related environmental and social aspects in the project area. The successful implementation of ESMP also requires a financial commitment. In this regard, cost estimates for implementation of mitigation measures have been taken into consideration. Therefore, the cost of implementation of mitigation measures has been estimated to be TZS 97,900,000.00. These costs will be included in the Bill of Quantities during the preparation of the Bidding Document. Conclusion The project is expected to have both beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts. However, most of the beneficial (positive) impacts will be long-term and will occur during the operation phase, and most of the negative impacts will be short-term and will occur during the construction phase. Therefore, it can be concluded that the project benefits (positive) will outweigh its adverse (negative) impacts because most of the negative impacts will be short- term and their mitigation measure can be easily implemented through design and good engineering practices. Moreover, the environmental management plan has been formulated to ensure the implementation of outlined mitigation measures. The project benefits will be maximized by enhancing the beneficial (positive) impacts. UDSM vi February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. THE ESIA TEAM NAME1 SIGNATURES Mr. Akonaay M.L.

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 NTRODUCTION 1.1 Background University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) is the oldest public University in Tanzania. The University was established in 1961 as an affiliate College of the University of London, after the independence in 1963, the University became an affiliate of the University of East Africa (UEA), and eventually became independent in 1970 after the split of UEA. UDSM currently is located in Ubungo Municipal Council, Dar es Salaam Region. Among others, the UDSM is also responsible for infrastructure development including learning equipment, upgrading curriculum, and introducing innovative pedagogical methodology; promoting applied research and innovation capacity; building function linkage with the industry; strengthening the use of digital technology; promoting self-generated income; and building the capacity of both academic staff and the university leadership. Through the continuation of developing and delivering higher education services to location where the services are not available, the UDSM has received financial support from the World Bank (WB) through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) under the project named Higher Education for Economic Transformation (HEET-P166415). The Project Development Objective (PDO) of the HEET Project is to strengthening the learning environment and labour market alignment of priority programmes at beneficiary higher education institutions and improving the management of the higher education system. From the received financial support, sufficient resources have been allocated including a dedicated Project Implementation Unit, Office; and a conducive environment for managing and administering the HEET project. Under HEET project, the project activity implementation covers Lot 1: Dar Es Salaam Campus (Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Mlimani - MJKNM Campus Sites; CoICT-Kijitonyama, SoAF-Kunduchi), and Lot 2: Out of Dar Es Salaam Campuses (Ngongo Area - Lindi Campus; IMS-Buyu, Zanzibar Site; and Likunja Site - Ruangwa). In this regard, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania through UDSM (hereinafter referred to as “the Client�) has carried out this Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Proposed Construction of Lecture Rooms and Laboratory Building at the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM) School of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries (SoAF) Kunduchi Campus, in Kinondoni Municipal Council, Dar Es Salaam Region. 1.2 Project Rationale In the past 10 years Tanzania has witnessed a remarkable change in basic education. For instance, enrolment at the primary level has increased to 24.5% from 8,116,488 in 2015 to 10,111,671 pupils in 2018 and 10,601,616 in 2019. In the year 2013/14 the enrolment trend in secondary education showed a positive increase in the number of students transitioning to post-primary education. According to PAD of 2021, student demand for higher education is expected to increase by 2030, therefore the tertiary education system (public and private) must expand and be of better quality to accommodate these additional students. Despite the fact the country has successful recorded an increase in basic education, there is prevalent acknowledgement among policy makers that the overall outcome of the successful performance in basic education is the demand for subsequent levels of education and particularly higher education. In this regard, the main challenge is inability of the system to absorb the expanding number of graduates in basic education inspired and capable of joining the higher education subsector. Of immediate need is the expansion of investment in infrastructure, facilities and quality assurance system in Engineering (agro-processing, mechanized agriculture, railway, hydropower, aeronautic etc.), Medical Science and UDSM 11 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Technology, Agriculture and Allied Sciences, Energy and Minerals, Forestry and Natural. Resource Management According to the HEET Project Appraisal Document (PAD, 2021) the challenges in the current higher education system include: ▪ Gender inequality in lower levels of education (especially upper secondary) that persists up to the university level, although the gender parity index in higher education has improved from 56.5 percent in 2013 to 67.4 percent in 2018; ▪ University graduates struggle to find jobs, at least in part due to skills mismatches; ▪ Demand-side considerations underscore the need for greater numbers of students in disciplines and programs sought after by employers, such as engineering, agribusiness, tourism, and climate change. The overall quality of post-secondary academic programs is low and does not prepare university graduates adequately for current and future formal jobs or self-employment; ▪ Shortage of well-trained lecturers, and the majority of academic staff use traditional teaching methodologies; ▪ Most of higher education institutions are not currently able to access or use modern technologies to deliver training; and ▪ The global pandemic has reinforced the need for higher education institutions to develop thoughtful resiliency plans. ▪ Technology, skills and education combined together will help Tanzania to develop its productive sectors and create jobs for youths entering the labour market every year (PAD, 2021). To address these issues, the World Bank has launched the Higher Education for Economic Transformation (HEET) project. The main objective of the project is to improve the quality, relevance, and equity of higher education in Tanzania. It supports the development of academic programs, research centres, and partnerships in priority areas. It also provides scholarships, grants, and loans to students and institutions. The project is expected to benefit over 100,000 students and 3,000 faculty members by 2028. The HEET project will invest in infrastructure, facilities, and quality assurance systems in fields such as engineering, medical sciences, agriculture, energy, and natural resources and improve the operational capacities of public universities and be in line with the economic needs of the country and continue to fuel sustainable economic growth through their missions, objectives, and core values. 1.3 The Objectives of HEET Project The main objective of the project is to strengthen the learning environment and labour market alignment of priority programs at beneficiary higher education institutions and improve the management of the higher education system (PAD, 2021). The stipulated objective is in line with UDSM Rolling Five Years Strategic Plan 2020/21 – 2024/25 and UDSM Vision 2061 which focuses on expanding infrastructures to match with increase in the student’s enrolment. This calls for the need to expand its facilities including infrastructures so as to create supportive environment towards achieving its goal. Prior to the construction of the proposed project, Environmental and Social Impact Assessment is required by World Bank and Tanzanian laws and governing in order to protect the environment and lives of people. The ESIA study shall be conducted in accordance with World Bank Environmental and Social Framework as well as Tanzania’s National Environmental Management Act, Cap 191 and its subsequent Environmental Management (Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit) (Amendment) Regulation of 2018. UDSM 12 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. In complying with World Bank’s ESF and national legislations, the project beneficiary UDSM though a consultancy service has prepared this ESIA report to identify potential environmental and social risks/impacts and propose appropriate mitigation measures. 1.4 Proposed Activities for UDSM HEET Project at SoAF-Kunduchi The aim of this project is to undertake the construction of Lecture Rooms and Laboratory Building at the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM) School of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries (SoAF)-Kunduchi Campus. The project will involve Construction of Classrooms, Lecture Rooms and Laboratory Building with a total floor area of about 952.56 Square metres (SQM), at UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The building will be comprised of the Ground Floor and First Floor, whereby the Ground Floor will consist of two wings. The First Wing will be comprised of Lecture Theatre with Sanitary Facilities. The Second Wing will be comprised of Cold Room; General Storage Room; Chemical Room; Lab Scientist’s Office; Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Lab; Working Room and Sanitary Facilities. In the First Floor, the building will be comprised of two Lecture Rooms with associated Sanitary Facilities. 1.5 The Objectives and Scope of the Assignment 1.5.1 The Objectives of the Assignment The purpose of the ESIA study is to identify the environmental and social effects/impacts of the proposed project activities before their actual implementation. The study therefore shall address the social, economic and environmental issues associated with the project activities. The study will also provide a relevant Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) as well as Health and Safety Management Plan (HSMP) in order to prevent or minimize adverse impacts and devising how they can be incorporated into project design and implementation plans, identify organizational capacity and competence needed and monitor the plan’s effectiveness. The main objective of the consultancy services is to prepare ESIA and develop the ESMP and HSMP for the proposed construction activities at the UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Specifically, the objectives of the assignment are as follows: • To carry out environmental screening and scoping study in order to identify social and environmental issues in the project site and nearby environment; • To identify, analyse and assess the environmental and social impacts of the proposed construction project; • To describe the pertinent regulations and standards governing; environmental quality, health and safety, protection of sensitive areas, protection of endangered species and land use control at international, national regional and local levels; • To recommend cost-effective measures for minimizing or eliminating adverse impacts of the proposed construction, operation and maintenance of the project; and • To prepare an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and Health and Safety Management Plan (HSMP) for the construction, operation and maintenance phases of the Project. According to the Terms of Reference (ToR) the ESIA should comply with environmental regulations of Tanzania as per the provisions of the Environmental Management (Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit) Act No. 20 of 2004 and (Amendment) Regulations of 2018. In addition, the ESIA study must comply with the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework with Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs). The details on the scope of the assignment are provided in the Terms of Reference. The Consultant was required to assess the environmental and social impacts that might be caused by the projects during construction and after construction, and thereafter recommend mitigations measures to prevent or minimize adverse impacts as well as developing ESMP and HSMP whose recommendations will be used to inform the design of the proposed project.

The ESIA team also used a participatory approach in order to involve key players in this study. 1.6.1 Desk Study The EIA team reviewed relevant documents related to proposed projects. Such documents include Maps, Buildings designs, existing land uses of the areas, climatic and ecological data, relevant policies, laws, regulations, strategies at national level, District Development Plans, Socio-economic Profiles etc, related to environmental and social issues. Literature review aimed at acquiring relevant information on issues that are important and could be related to the project implementation, identification of stakeholders that might be affected by the project, collection of relevant secondary information that might provide insights of the impacts and benefits of the project. 1.6.2 Field Work The ESIA team visited the site and made observation and assessment of the biophysical conditions, social, economic and environmental characteristic of the project area, proposed sites and layout, as well as key areas of the projects. The survey also included conducting interviews with local people encountered flanking the project area. The collection of baseline data was conducted by defining the scope of the EIA. Data collected during detailed ESIA study allowed the study team to determine whether more detailed information on environmental conditions at the development site and its surroundings are needed and where such information can be obtained. Furthermore, information on socio-economic condition of the local people was collected and used to determine the poverty levels, hence their vulnerability due to labour influx into the project area. The information on Gender Based Violence (GBV), Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Harassment was collected through face-to-face interviews with representatives of government agencies, local government authorities and local NGOs/CBOs. The collected baseline information was used to assess the risk of GBV/SEA and SH due to prevalence of different forms of violence. The details on the required baseline data, source and methodology for data collection is provided in Table 1.6-1.

Table 1.6-1: Established air quality, noise and vibrations. GPS Readings Station Code Location Name Latitudes Longitudes AQMS1 SoAF Kunduchi Campus -6.770894 39.240672 1.6.3.2 Measurement of Ambient air quality, Noise and Vibrations The measured parameters include: (i) Dust as particulate matter in terms of TSP, PM10 and PM2.5; (ii) Ambient pollutant gases i.e., Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs); (iii) ambient noise, and (iv) ground vibrations. (a) Dust as particulate matter in terms of TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 Dust levels were measured by using Aeroqual Series 500 (S-500). Particulate matter (TSP, PM10 and PM2.5) was measured per manufactured procedure that meets ISO 9835:1993 and ISO 9835:1993 Protocols for TSP, PM10 and PM2.5. During measurements, the device was fixed at a breathing height of about 1.5 meters from the ground, which is assumed to be the breathing zone of people in their respective locality or working environment. Dust levels were measured at the established station during the daytime and night-time hours. The recorded data were calculated to get the average and were compared with National Environmental (TBS) and WHO/IFC guidelines to check for compliance. (b) Ambient pollutant gases Ambient gas concentrations (i.e. CO, NO2, SO2, H2S, and VOC) were measured using “Aeroqual series 500 monitors (S-500)�. The ambient gases were measured per the manufacturer’s procedure that meets ISO 9001:2008 protocol. The device was elevated at a height of 1.5 meters above the ground; once the device was switched ON, it performed an automatic calibration for three minutes by pumping fresh air into the sensors to set the toxic sensors to zero. Ambient pollutant gases were measured during the day and night hours. The UDSM 15 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. measured gas levels were then compared with their respective TBS-NES limits and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines to check their compliance. (c)Noise levels Baseline noise data were recorded the established station during the daytime (Lday) and night-time (Lnight) in accordance to ISO 1996 -1:2003 using a digital sound level meter. On taking measurements, the meter was set to the “A� weighed measurement scale, which enables the meter to respond in the same manner as the human ear. The meter was held approximately 1.5 m above the ground and at least 0.5 m away from hard reflecting surfaces such as walls. Periodic measurements were taken to grasp the mean daytime and night-time hours noise values at the established station. The averaged Lday and Lnight values were calculated and compared with their respective local standards and international guidelines. (d) Ground vibrations Ground vibrations were measured using a vibrometer data logger, which is designed to measure ground vibrations according to European standard EN 14253:2003. When taking measurements, the accelerometer transducer was mounted on the ground vibrations to record vibrations. To produce accurate results, the transducer was secured in direct contact with the ground. The levels of vibrations were recorded in terms of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) in millimeters per second in the vertical direction to secure data associated with the proposed project. Periodic measurements were taken during the day and night hours. The mean value of all recorded data was calculated and used to represent a particular station. The average value recorded at the station was then compared with National Environmental (TBS), Human detection level for vibration, British vibration standard, and WHO/IFC guidelines to check for their compliance. 1.7 Collection of Socio-Economic Data To determine the cultural and social factors associated with the construction and operation of the proposed project, members of the communities in the general vicinity of the project were interviewed and a review of economic and social literature was conducted. Further, rapid field appraisal techniques in conjunction with desk research were employed to investigations of the socio-economic considerations within the project area. These were undertaken to ascertain information to satisfy the following factors as outlined in the terms of reference provided: Population and settlement characteristics • Land uses and livelihoods • Community structure, employment and income • Developments underway • Infrastructure in place • Water supply and other utilities • Waste management practices • Recreational activities • Energy supply • Public health and safety • Access to and delivery of health, education and social services 1.8 Stakeholder Consultation and Public Engagement Programme The objectives of stakeholder consultation and public engagement programme are to inform interested and affected parties about the Project; to assist in the identification of key issues and concerns in respect of the Project; to obtain information that may assist in carrying out baseline or predictive studies for the EIA; to collect information in respect of the current use of land and resources for traditional purposes by local people; and to ensure that sufficient information in respect of the Project is available to stakeholders and the general public UDSM 16 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 1.9 Identification and Assessment of Impacts The identified potential environmental impacts are based on the interaction between the Project Related Activities and Selected Valued Environmental Components (VECs). The selection of VECs was based on existing project environment (environmental baseline conditions), opinions/views obtained from stakeholder consultations, and consultant’s professional judgement. For this project the selected VECs include Atmospheric Environment; Acoustic Environment; Terrestrial Environment; Public Health and Safety; Labour and Economy; and Community / Public Services Infrastructure / Utilities. The identified impacts have been assessed by using Environmental Impact Assessment Matrix. The EIA Matrix helped to determine the significance of impacts based on the following criteria: • Importance – whether important to national, regional, or international interest or site specific. • Magnitude of Change – whether Positive or Negative • Permanence – whether condition is permanent or temporary. • Reversibility- reversible or irreversible. • Whether Cumulative / Synergistic for positive and negative impacts, respectively. The significance of impacts also took into consideration existing by-laws, national and international environmental standards, legislation, treaties, and conventions that may affect the significance of identified impacts. These techniques have been used in order to have a logical and systematic way of identifying, assessing, and analysing environmental impacts. The techniques also allowed subjective judgments to be quantitatively recorded and therefore make the assessment of impacts become more objective. 1.10 The Report Format The report is presented according to the format given in Section 18 (1 and 2) of the Environment Impact Assessment and Audit (Amendment) Regulations, 2018.

In doing so native trees will be given first priority to maintain the natural ecosystem. • Greenery walkways: The design maximizes pedestrian movement and minimizes motorized transport within the site in order to reduce air emissions (greenhouse gasses (GHGs)) and maximizing Carbon sequestration. Walkways are provided to restrict free movement that causes vegetation destruction in the site, and reducing land cover important for carbon sequestration. Trees are proposed to be planted along the vehicular access road and footpaths to improve landscape and reduce effects of sun radiation during the day. • Green areas: Green areas are distributed in every zone/ block to allow cross fresh air into the buildings. Due to the topographical nature and nature vegetation cover, green belt and conservation zone intend to preserve the ecosystem and control land degradation. Trees and grasses will reduce soil erosion in sloping plains and all areas prone to soil erosion. • The building with low energy use; Provisions for adequate openings for cross ventilation, that will ensure easy flow of clean air and reduce energy use ( thus reducing emissions); provisions for motion sensors in public areas, to enable auto switch ON/OFF of lights; installation of presence sensors in offices, class rooms, laboratories and workshop areas; proper orientation to reduce indoor discomfort and capture natural air as much as possible and minimization of the sun effects (installation of fans; and provisions for solar lights along the pathways for sun shading); maximizing the potential of utilization of renewable energy options such as solar and wind; Utilization of biogas from the wastewater treatment plant for cooking; buildings to be oriented and constructed to take advantage of natural lighting and cross ventilation as a means of minimizing energy consumption during operation; • The buildings with low footprint. This increases green spaces; and accommodation of rainwater harvesting, storm water and waste management systems and embracing water-efficient processes. 2.3.2 Disaster Management The proposed project shall have provisions for fire prevention and firefighting facilities. Also, the buildings shall have provisions for solid waste and liquid waste management for diseases prevention. In addition, possible access roads shall be used to ensure easy walkability and vehicular access to and from the building to avoid car accidents. The roads shall be safely connected to the parking area huge enough to accommodate cars. SoAF Kunduchi Centre shall have an emergency management plan that assigns the responsibilities for various emergency tasks, specifically to WHO does, WHAT, WHEN AND HOW. 2.3.3 Gender Inclusivity The University structures shall be designed to be intelligent and inclusive to all genders, with special attention to accommodating individuals with special needs (e.g. physical, learning impairment, emotional and behavioural). These include provisions of lamps, toilets, etc. 2.3.4 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) During pre-construction phase The structural elements of a project will be designed and constructed by competent professionals, and certified or approved by competent authorities or professionals. Where the UDSM 23 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. project includes new buildings and structures that will be accessed by members of the public, the UDSM will consider the incremental risks of the public’s potential exposure to operational accidents or natural hazards, including extreme weather events. Where technically and financially feasible, UDSM will also apply the concept of universal access to the design and construction of such new buildings and structures. During construction phase UDSM with support from the supervision consultant will ensure regular training to permanent and temporary workers (including community workers) on occupational health and safety to workers and information relevant to health risk including cholera, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, and impacts of dust to workers health will be provided to workers. During the construction period the contractor shall provide, equip and maintain adequate personal protective equipment, first- aid stations and sign boards directing where these services are situated and transport in case of emergency. Appropriate protective gear including, but not limited to helmets, heavy duty gloves, safety vests and boots, shall be provided to site workers and visitors. Training related to hazards and hazard management will be provided to workers and particularly as stipulated in the general IFC general EHS guidelines during construction the contractor will be required to put emphasize on training related to specific hazards such as working at height, ergonomic, slips and falls, dust and moving machinery and any other relevant hazard that will be identified during construction. During operation phase All the emergency situations associated with building operations will be included as part of the design aspects including allocation of emergency assembly point. Emergency plans procedures will be developed to prevent and mitigate likely consequences associated with each incident. The document that details potential emergencies and response to such situations and how to prevent and mitigate the environmental aspects will be in place. Occupational Health and Safety hazards related to the daily operations of the like exposure to eruption disease, risks of fire explosion and security will be given due considerations. Fire extinguishers of powder foam type and fire hose reel will be placed in several strategic areas at the site and serviced on time. During decommissioning phase If decommissioning has to happen, it is anticipated that the project will have hazards resulting from noise and vibration that may be caused by the operation of pile drivers, earth moving and excavation equipment, concrete mixers, cranes and the transportation of equipment, materials and people. According to IFC Guidelines specifically the general Environmental Health and Safety guidelines, slips and falls on higher elevation associated with poor housekeeping, such as excessive waste debris, loose decommissioning materials, liquid spills, and uncontrolled use of electrical cords and ropes on the ground, are also among the most frequent cause of lost time accidents at decommissioning site. To control these challenges during decommissioning phase, the contractor shall be required to have a clear understanding on the historical use of the land with regard to the potential presence of hazardous materials or oil prior to initiation of decommissioning activities, preparing plans and procedures to respond to the discovery of contaminated media to minimize or reduce the risk to health, safety, and the environment but equally important to provide adequate and the right PPEs for the anticipated hazards during decommissioning. 2.4 Project activities 2.4.1 Mobilization Phase The mobilization phase is the initial stage of the project cycle, during which the Contractor will start to mobilize equipment and workforce for the project.

The spatial boundaries of the project environment are illustrated in Figure 2.6-1. 2.6.1.1 Project Development Area (PDA) The Project Development Area (PDA) is the most basic and immediate are of the Project. The PDA is limited to the anticipated area of the physical disturbance associated with the Construction and Operation of the Project. For this Project, the PDA consists of the area to be occupied by the lecture rooms and laboratory building, which is estimated to be about 952.56 Square metres (SQM). UDSM 26 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Figure 2.6-1: Spatial boundaries of the Project Environment. 2.6.1.2 Local Assessment Area (LAA) The Local Assessment Area (LAA) is the maximum area within which Project-related environmental effects can be predicted or measured with a reasonable degree of accuracy and confidence. The LAA is commonly referred to as the “Zone of Influence� of the Project and may include areas that could experience Project environmental effects that arise beyond the area of physical disturbance by the Project. The LAA includes the PDA and any flanking areas to the project site, where Project-related environmental effects may reasonably be expected to occur. The definition of LAA varies from one VEC to another, depending on the local conditions, biological characteristics, socio- economic factors, cultural values and other factors. 2.6.1.3 Regional Assessment Area (RAA) The Regional Assessment Area (RAA) is the area within which the Project’s environmental effects may overlap or accumulate with the environmental effects of other projects or activities that have been or will be carried out such that cumulative environmental effects may potentially occur. The RAA is defined for each VEC depending on the physical and biological conditions and the type of and location of other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable projects or activities that have been or will be carried out. 2.6.2 Temporal Boundaries The temporal boundaries of the project refer to the timing and duration of the Project. The temporal boundaries of the project consist of the durations for the mobilization, construction, and demobilisation phases of the project. In addition, the temporal boundaries are the design periods of the road pavement and its associated bridges and other drainages structures. The following are the temporal boundaries of the project during the mobilization, construction, and demobilisation phases: UDSM 27 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Activities Duration Mobilization phase: 1 month Construction phase: 16 months Demobilization phase: 1 Month Defect liability period: 12 Months Operation phase: 50 years and more (Life span of the project or design period). The Decommissioning Phase of the project is not expected to occur so long as the need for university facilities and services is operational. Instead, the building will continue to be undergoing regular maintenance and improvement depending on future requirements. 2.6.3 Institutional Boundaries Institutional boundaries for the project refer to various institutions, government agencies, and local government authorities that are relevant to the project implementation. It specifies the roles and responsibilities of each institution for environmental management at the national, regional, district, ward and street (“mtaa�) levels.

CHAPTER FOUR 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE CONDITIONS 4.1 Physical Environment 4.1.1 Topography The topography of the project area is characterized by flat terrain with altitude ranging from 1 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.) to 5 m.a.s.l. There is a marshland area with an altitude of about 1 m.a.s.l., hence making it to be seasonally flooded, because the shoreline is on the higher altitudes (i.e., 2 to 3 m). 4.1.2 Climate The project area experiences a modified type of equatorial climate. It is generally hot and humid throughout the year with an average temperature of 290C. The hottest season is from October to March while it is relatively cool between May and August with temperature around 250C. There are two rain seasons, the short rain season from October to December and the long rain season between March and May. The average annual rainfall is 1300mm. Humidity is around 96% in the mornings and 67% in the afternoons. The climate is also influenced by the Southwest monsoon winds from April to October and Northeast monsoon winds between November and March. 4.1.3 Climate Change In the project area, deforestation is one of the contributing factors to climate change due to the destruction of natural vegetation, which is important for Carbon dioxide reduction from the atmosphere due to sequestration (absorption) effects. In 2010, Kinondoni District had 4.34kha of tree cover, extending over 8.1% of its land area. In 2021, it lost 20.1ha of tree cover, equivalent to 10.5kt of CO2 emissions28. The proposed area for the construction of buildings is estimated to be 962.560 Square metres (SQM). Therefore, assuming this area is currently covered by green vegetation (trees), the removal of existing vegetation cover will contribute into 0.05kt of CO2, which is about 0.5% of the CO2 emissions in 2021. This amount is considered to be negligible. Implication for the project The project is not likely to significantly contribute into CO2 emissions due to vegetation removal from the project site. However, the project will utilize climate change information in the design of building structures. The project will also contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions by prohibiting the use of ozone depleting substances. 4.1.4 Geology and Soils The geology of the project area is dominated by continental and lacustrine sedimentary formations29. The sub-soil is dominated by marine limestone, mainly comprised of sandy clay and clayey sands. The project area is comprised of Mesozoic rocks, limestone, sandstone, shales and mark. 4.1.5 Ground and Surface Water Resource 4.1.6 Ground Water Resource The project site is within the Coastal Sedimentary Aquifer, which is typically five to 30 meters thick, with a water depth of 10 to 35 meters below ground. Water quality varies, with periodic 28 https://www.globalforestwatch.org/dashboards/country/TZA/2/2 29 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL MAP OF TANZANIA. Patrice PINNA, Sospeter MUHONGO, Boniface A.

This implies the project will have to obtain construction water from Dar Es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (DAWASA) source. 4.1.8 Ambient Noise and Vibration Levels 4.1.8.1 Dust Level Measurement The daily average concentrations of 0.012 mg/m3 for TSP, 0.009 mg/m3 for PM10 and 0.004 mg/m3 for PM2.5 were recorded at UDSM-SoAF Kunduchi Campus site (Table 4.1-1). The findings indicated that, the measured TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations were below the prescribed Tanzania and WHO standards. .

However, Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) concentrations were very low with its impacts considered insignificant, taking into account that H2S has no limit specified in both the Tanzania standards and/or international guidelines. Generally, the ambient air quality in the area did not exceed the national or WHO/IFC Standards.

The anticipated impact resulting from the measured vibrations is considered insignificant as the measured level does not exceed 0.15 mm/sec PPV criteria established to evaluate the extent that can easily be detected by human, TBS and British Standard limits. In that regard, the measured ground vibration level is low and thus is not likely to impact negatively any sensitive receptors. Table 3.3: Average vibrations levels at measured station.

During the field investigation, a total of about 30 trees were identified. These include 20-Neem trees Azadirachta indica; 7-Coconut trees (Cocos nucifera); 2-Pawpaw trees (Asimina triloba); and Tamarind trees (Tamarindus indica). In addition, there is marshland or wetland vegetation on the eastern side of the project site, which is currently being used for discharging wastewater from sanitary facilities (Plate No. 4.2-2). The marshland provides a potential for development of constructed wetland for wastewater treatment, if it can be properly designed. UDSM 59 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Plate No. 4.2-1: Vegetation cover of the Plate No. 4.2-2: Marshland vegetation used project site. for wastewater discharge. 4.2.2 Fauna There is no any important wildlife in the project site due to human activities. During the site investigation no any wildlife was identified in the project area. In addition, there is no any important wildlife habitat or endangered, rare, or unique wildlife in the project area due to the fact that the project is a built-up environment with intensive human activities. 4.3 Socio-Economic Environment 4.3.1 Population The project area is located at Mtongani sub-ward, Kunduchi ward in Kinondoni municipal where the construction of Lecture Theatres and Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Laboratory building is proposed. According to the 2022 National Population and Housing Census Kinondoni has a population of 982,328 where male is 474,825 and female 507,503. The annual growth is 2.1% and households are 299184 with an average of 3.3 members per household. The sex ratio is 94. In Kinondoni MC projected population density is estimated to be 3,881 people per square kilometre. The population in the project ward is 89814 male 43232 female 45582 with 26125 households and a sex ratio is 93. 4.3.2 Status of land acquisition and suitability of the location Unlike other projects which are implemented on individual lands, this particular project is implemented on the land already acquired by the University of Dar Es Salaam. In this case, there is no compensation required. The building will be constructed in the midst of other buildings used for academic purposes so it will add value in academics and research as a whole. 4.3.3 Planned Development Activities The SoAF site as part of the University of Dar Es Salaam has some plans to expand/increase other buildings for academic use when financial resources are available. At this juncture through the financial assistance from World Bank under the HEET programme has managed to construct one building comprised of research laboratories as well as lecture theatres. 4.3.4 Community Structure The main organization of Mtaa government in the study area is the Mtaa Assembly and Council. The Mtaa Assembly is made up of the adult members of the community and the Mtaa council is composed of 5 members comprised of men and women representatives. The Mtaa council is responsible for overseeing day-to-day activities in the Mtaa (sub-ward) as well as making decisions on matters concerning the whole community. The functions of the Mtaa Assembly are the maintenance of peace and order the promotion of social welfare and economic development. The Council manages the mtaa and implements decisions made by the assembly. UDSM 60 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Like the Municipal council, the mtaa government is arranged into a series of committees and overseen by the mtaa chairperson, mtaa Executive officer (MEO) lead members of the council. The main committees include Finance and Planning, safety and security, construction and finally Education, and social services. The sub-committee of the latter includes the water and sanitation committee, health committee, Environment committee and school committee. 4.3.5 Employment Employment patterns in the project area reflect urban characteristics whereby formal and non- formal employment is dominant. Employment in the project area (according to anecdotal data) reflects that the private sector occupies 61%, self-employment 35% and the public sector covers only 4%. Looking at Mtongani sub-ward fisheries and fishing products are the main occupational activities followed by enterprises ranging from petty trading, shops and transportation. 4.3.6 Distribution of Income, Goods and services The socio-economic survey carried out between 2016 to 2018 indicated that, in the project area majority of residents earn income between TZS 50,000 and 200,000 about 71% of which 28% earned monthly income ranging from TZS 50,000 to 100,000, 21% earn income between TZS 100,000 and 200,000 and 22% ranging between TZS 200,000 and 400,000. Only 15% of the residents earn income above TZS 400,000 and 14% earn income below TZS 50,000. 4.3.7 Goods and Services The supply of goods in the project area is dominated by industrial goods coming from outside the project area to the shops and mini-markets. Goods are of two categories which are consumables comprised of food stuff, cosmetics and decorations while others are building materials. Means of supply depend solely on road transportation. Goods from the project area are insignificant except fish from Kunduchi Fish Auction market. On the other hand, the provision of basic amenities is also essential to livelihood and human development. 4.3.8 Education Around the project area there are two primary schools and one Girl secondary school but in the entire Wards of Kunduchi there are 9 Primary School, 8 Secondary School. The primary and secondary schools are owned by the government and private. Also, within the ward there 5 Colleges. 4.3.9 Health Health is one of the key sectors of which people depend on it when seeking their health status. The HEET project will also require services from the health sector as construction workers will have to seek treatment when get injuries or for the sake of knowing their health status. The KMC currently has a total of 188 health facilities of which 27 are government-owned, while the remaining 161 are privately owned. It is within this context that many dispensaries, health centres and referral hospitals like Hebert Kairuki Memorial hospital, Lugalo TPDF hospital, Masana hospital and Rabininsia hospital are found near the project area. It means during construction all severe accidents and major injuries will be attended to without much problems since many health facilities are close to the project area. Looking at the morbidity rate in the project area shows that ten common diseases which are reported in health facilities (out patients) birth asphyxia and anaemia are the leading diseases to majority of communities in the project area. 4.3.10 Water Supply The main source of water for Dar Es Salaam Region and particularly in the project area is from Lower Ruvu scheme which is managed by Dar-Es-salaam Water and Sewerage Authority UDSM 61 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. (DAWASA). In KMC the water from DAWASA system contributes 81% of water being consumed daily and the rest is contributed by deep wells owned by both private and community. 4.3.11 Energy Electricity is the power source for domestic, commercial premises, institutions and industries. The project area is also connected to the National grid. The power supply line connects almost whole ward under project. Electricity is commonly used for lighting, cooling drinks and cooking. In recent years cooking with natural gas is practiced in many households in the project area. Low- and medium-income earners in the project area use charcoal and fuel wood. Charcoal is the most important form of energy used for domestic purposes such as cooking. 4.3.12 Solid Waste Disposal In regard to solid waste collection and transportation, there has been an increase in rates of solid waste collected and transported to the disposal site since 2000, when Councils opted to work in partnerships with the private sector as contractors of solid waste collection and transportation, the collection rate decreased from 650 tons in 2015 to 550 tons per day 2018 4.3.13 Recreation Recreation in the project area is commonly found in areas with hotels, Bars and Restaurants and night clubs. The areas along the coastal strip tourist hotels, swimming pools and sea swimming are commonly found. However, in the project area there is a tourist hotel Wet and Wild (formerly Kunduchi hotel) and small and medium hotels and bars making recreational events particularly in week-ends. 4.3.14 Gender specific needs and Disadvantaged/Vulnerable groups Gender empowerment ensures that, all sexes particularly women are fully participating in policy and decision-making processes and in all aspects of economic, socio-cultural, participation in managerial, political, professional and technical personnel. It is within this context women are encouraged to participate fully in this HEET project from the planning stage, construction and operation stages as one of the most beneficiaries of employment in the project. In the project area women are significantly involved in implementing activities especially in economic activities besides horticulture, 60% of the interviewed women were engaged in business activities such as selling of food crops, local brewing, food vending and alike. The unequal access to economic opportunities such as sharing of household income and other family/clan wealth existing between men and women leaves women with minimal options for earning their lives decently. It is reported that sometimes some of the women resort to promiscuity in order to meet their needs. With the prevalence situation of HIV/AIDS, they place themselves in a high-risk. Furthermore, women and girls are more vulnerable as they face early pregnancies, school dropouts, early marriages, raping, unequal gender roles and the prevalence of STDs among them. 4.3.15 Prevalence of HIV/AIDS and STDs According to Tanzania HIV/AIDS and Malaria Indicator Survey (THMIS, 2017/18), Tanzania is experiencing some recent decline in national HIV prevalence. Between 2004 and 2012, the overall adult prevalence rate fell from 7% to 5.0 (from 6% to3.8% % for men and from 8%to 6.5% % for women). Declines in HIV prevalence was also observed among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics and among blood donors. The downward trend in levels of HIV infection correlates with the reduction in behaviours known to have a high risk of transmitting HIV. For example, in the 15-49 age group, casual sex with non-marital, non-cohabiting partners declined from 46% to 29% among men, and from 23% to 16% among women. (National HIV and AIDS Policy, 2013). UDSM 62 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is still considered a killer disease in all regions including Dar Es Salaam. It was revealed from the reported cases that in 4 years from 2015 to 2018, people were tested as follows: In 2015, a total of 208 persons were tested, 314 in 2016, 2,445 in 2017 and 9,397 in 2018. The same report reveals that expectant mothers 49,823 were also tested for HIV/AIDS status as well as their new-born in 2018 which indicated that 2.7% were HIV/AIDS positive. The number of children born with negative status ware 40312 and 1521 children was HIV positive. Regarding the life style of the people and socio-cultural and traditional practices, the project area is not different from other communities with similar traditions which in one way or another early marriage, raping cases and early pregnancies are indicators of activities fuelling the prevalence of HIV. With the coming project stern measures should be taken to prevent the spread of it through HIV awareness campaigns including safe sexual relations and fidelity to couples. 4.3.16 Cultural and Historic Sites The existence of cultural and historical assets is not found in the project area (SoAF site) but the old Persian graves are located near the project area – Kunduchi ruins. Tourists and Historians who visit the graves pass through the gate of SoAF to Kunduchi ruins. 4.3.17 Gender Based Violence (GBV) Gender-Based Violence has been defined as “any harmful act that is perpetrated against a person’s will and that is socially ascribed (gender) differences between males and females. GBV has a greater impact on women and girls, as they are most of often the survivors and suffer of great physical damage than men. Kinondoni Municipal Council like other councils in Tanzania is not exceptional on prevalence of GBV. It was reported that in 2022 there were 248 cases reported at Gender Desk Department (under Municipal Medical Officer – Social Welfare). Out of all cases reported 184 cases were physical violence against women and 21 cases physical violence against men, 29 cases raping (women) and 14 cases were psychological violence against women. From January to March 2023 GBV cases were 75 and all fall under physical and psychological violence as shown in the Table 4.3-1 below. Table 4.3-1: The Status of GBV in Kinondoni MC from January to March, 2023. Status of GBV from January to March, 2023 KMC Total S/n Month Male Female Type of Violence Physical and 1 January 17 14 31 Psychological/Emotional Physical and 2 February 7 6 13 Psychological/Emotional Physical and 3 March 18 13 31 Psychological/Emotional Total 42 33 75 Source: Field data May, 2023 The main challenge of such violence in the project area is basically on economic constraints, attitudes, norms and behaviours that are deep-rooted in the families, homes and communities and institutionalized at all levels and consequently producing a culture of social acceptance of gender violence, especially violence against women. It is within this context that the project at hand, must apply GBV protective mechanism to reduce the violence against women particularly during construction.

CHAPTER FIVE 5.0 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT 5.1 Stakeholder Identification and Analysis The identified stakeholders can be categorized into Developers; Decision makers; Interested parties; and Affected parties positively or negatively and directly or indirectly. The stakeholder analysis matrix is provided in Table 5.1-1. The identification of stakeholders was based on how they are related to the project, how the project is going to affect them and why should they be consulted. 5.1.1 Developers The developers of this project are the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST); and the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM). These are responsible for funding and implementation of the project. Therefore, as developers, they are responsible for ensuring that the project will be implemented in compliance with the environmental and safety requirements in accordance with relevant national policies and legislations. 5.1.2 Decision makers The decision-making authorities are those government authorities, agencies or institutions that are responsible for overseeing environmental, health and safety management in the country and for issuance of development permits or certificates. Therefore, they can decide whether the project should be implemented or should not be implemented. These include the Division of Environment in the Vice President’s Office (VPO-DOE) and the National Environment Management Council (NEMC). The VPO-DOE is responsible for approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment report and issuance of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Certificate. The National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) is responsible for screening and registration of the project, review and approval of scoping report and review of the environmental impact assessment report and submission to the VPO-DOE for approval. 5.1.3 Interested parties The interested parties are those stakeholders who are not directly or indirectly affected by the project but they can influence the success or failure of the project or can provide advice to the project. For this project, the interested parties include the Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC); Kunduchi Ward Development Committee and Mtongani Street (“Mtaa�). All these are considered as Local Government Authorities (LGAs) are responsible for overseeing environmental management issues and land use planning within their jurisdictional boundaries; and in the case of KMC, it is responsible for issuing of development or building permits and certificate of occupancy or title deeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) and Commissioner for Fire and Rescue Force are also considered interested parties. The OSHA is responsible for health and safety inspections and issuance of compliance licences and electrical inspections. The Commissioner for Fire and Rescue Force is responsible for fire inspection and issuance of fire inspection certificates. 5.1.4 Affected Parties These are those stakeholders who can be directly or indirectly affected, whether positively or negatively by the project. Tanzania Electricity Supply Company Limited (TANESCO), Tanzania Telecommunications Company Limited (TTCL), and Dar Es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (DAWASA) are indirectly affected parties because the project will result into increased demand for electricity power and water supply during construction and operation phase. Ultimately this will result into positive impacts due to increased revenue for the utility service providers. UDSM 64 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The local residents living adjacent to the project site will be directly and indirectly affected, positively or negatively. It is expected that during construction some of the local residents will get temporary employment opportunities, hence considered to be directly and positively affected parties. The adjacent local residents are also indirectly and negatively affected due to environmental, health and safety effects associated with the project activities. It is anticipated that during construction the project is likely to create some air pollution, noise nuisance, and risk of health and safety hazards to the local residents and therefore, considered to be indirectly and negatively affected parties.

In addition, stakeholder consultations were held with TAWA, TAFIRI, African Minerals and Geo-sciences Centre and Wet & Wild Hotel (former Kunduchi Hotel). The consultation with adjacent Local Community Members involved stakeholder consultation meetings. The adjacent local community members are mainly the local residents of UDSM Sub-ward. 5.3 Results of Stakeholder Consultations 5.3.1 Consultation with Stakeholders Representatives The consultation with stakeholder representatives was conducted on from 11th April to 02nd May 2023. In general, the stakeholders do support the project because they believe it will benefit them and the nation as a whole. However, the stakeholders have raised some issues UDSM 65 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. and concerns regarding the project as shown in Table 5.3-1. The issues raised were then analysed to determine the most affected VEC based on the number of issues/concerns raised for each affected component as shown in APPENDIX 2. According to the analysis the consulted stakeholder representatives were more concerned about Labour and Economy (7 Issues) followed by Public Health, Safety and Security (5 Issues); Acoustic Environment, Pubic Services Infrastructure/Utilities, and Current and Resources Use (3 Issues@); and lastly Atmospheric Environment, Transportation, Terrestrial Environment, and Historical/Cultural Resources (1 Issue@). The finding indicates the stakeholder representatives were mainly concerned about solid and liquid wastes management, GBV rates, child labour, HIV/AIDS prevalence; employment and finally air pollution and noise nuisance. .Table 5.3-1: Record of Issues/Concerns Raised by Stakeholder Reps.

The project will give more rooms for exchanging and improving research results for both TAFIRI and SoAF. In a near future, we will develop an MoU of utilizing lecture theatres and conferences for training and meetings (local and international) on Fisheries related issues. We also invite the potential students for field attachment in our institute as young or senior researchers. As a negative impact is on one of our supporting staff who is engaged as office security, resides in SoAF staff quarters and now because of the project the houses will be demolished so our employee has to reside away from the office and security obligations will be difficult. 13/04/23 African Minerals The project is very valid and We will advise the Contractor and Geo- our office will collaborate with to use your laboratory for sciences centre SoAF in research and construction materials testing particularly in laboratory particularly soil, aggregates testing. and bricks During construction we urge the Contractor to use our laboratory for material testing because we believe we have best laboratory equipment for material testing.

It needs a thorough awareness campaign and follow-up in construction sites to make sure Contractors abide by the laws and have plans and policies for example Sexual harassment policy, GBV policy and Labor influx plan to eradicate any kind of sexual abuse. 5.3.2 Consultation with Local Community Members The stakeholder consultation meeting involved the Mtongani Local Residents, whereby Mtaa Government Council members attended the consultation meeting. The record of issues / concerns raised during consultation with local community members is provided in Table 5.3- 2. The analysis of issues/concerns indicate the consulted local community members were more concerned about Public Health, Safety and Security (4 Issues) followed by Labour and Economy (3 Issues); and Atmospheric and Acoustic Environment as shown in APPENDIX 3. The findings indicate that the project is likely to create spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, health and safety risks, increased criminal incidences and increased pressure on the existing medical facilities. They were also concerned that the project is likely to create noise nuisance and dust generation. Table 5.3-2: Record of Issues/Concerns Raised by Local Community Members.

At this stage, the study will conduct a number of structured and formal meetings, focus group discussions, community meetings, one to one interview and site visits that will involve a number of stakeholders. Timings for conducting the above meetings will be determined by the progress of the project implementation and when deemed necessary to invite stakeholders for their comments and observation. However, the sharing of information and progress with stakeholders will be subject to scrutiny with regards to the kind of information to be shared and how the same will be communicated to stakeholders. Furthermore, at this stage, the UDSM will ensure equal and effective participation from project preparation to implementation stages. To ensure stakeholders’ views and concerns are well captured, the SEP will have different methods of collecting and sharing information based on their needs i.e. disadvantaged or vulnerable groups. The summary of stakeholder engagement and means of communication during project implementation is provided in Table 5.5-1. Table 5.5-1: Stakeholder engagement during project implementation.

UDSM’s phone number for HEET activities and concerns will also be found at Kunduchi Ward Office. Note: Face-to-face consultations with stakeholders will strictly follow national and international guidelines on health and hygiene procedures in order to avoid the spread of diseases including COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases. 5.5 Stakeholders Communication Strategy Information disclosure strategies attempt to increase the availability of information on the proposed construction of the UDSM Main Campus and the entire HEET project. The public disclosure of the information will be very useful in motivating and improving the performance of the project. During implementation, when new activities are being developed engagement will be undertaken to inform the development of the specific sub-project and plans. Further engagement on the frameworks will also be undertaken. Depending on the issue at hand, UDSM will be developing agenda so as to ensure that key strategic and risk items can be discussed with all relevant stakeholders in order to foster decision making and address risk factors and develop enhancement measures during project implementation. The summary of stakeholder communication strategy is provided in Table 5.6-1. UDSM 73 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Thus, depending on the need of each stakeholder, UDSM will use the following methods; • Focus Group Meetings/ Discussions – UDSM will employ FGD when aiming to bring together stakeholders with the same interests or common characteristics into a meeting to discuss specific topics or project components in a focused manner. FGD will be employed to explore issues that are relevant to specific groups or sub-groups of a community – such as youth, the elderly, women, students and people with disabilities. The intention of using this approach is centred upon establishing of similarities and differences among people of the same or different groups. • Formal meetings - These meetings will be focused to identify and discuss specific stakeholder concerns and to disclose project information. Participation in these meetings will be influenced by the issues under consideration and will include adequate representation of women as well as other marginalized and vulnerable people where possible. • One-on-one interviews – The interviews will aim to give chance to individuals to air concerns on project and will involve government officials depending on the issues to be addressed. • Distribution of pamphlets – This is a way of sharing information to a wide range of individuals. • Site visits – These visits are focused on identifying and discussing stakeholder concerns and to disclose project information within communities.

During this process, the focus and scope of the SEP may change to reflect the varying stages of project implementation and to encompass any changes in project design and lessons learnt from previous phases of the Project. However, it is important to develop a guiding framework that may act as roadmap for stakeholders’ engagement as shown in Table 5.7-1. UDSM 75 February 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus.

CHAPTER SIX 6.0 ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS AND ANALYSIS ALTERNATIVES 6.1 Identification of Impacts The identification of impacts considers both positive and negative impacts which result from the interaction between the Project related activities and Valued Environmental Components (VECs)31. For the purpose of this report, the term “environmental effects� will be taken to be synonymous with the term “environmental impacts� as referred to in the EIA and Audit Regulations (2005). As such, the EIA study considers environmental effects and impacts as defined by the national legislation. However, for convenience, the term “impact(s)� shall be used throughout this report, unless otherwise specified. The identified potential environmental impacts are based on the interaction between the Project Related Activities and Selected Valued Environmental Components (VECs) 32. The selection of VECs were based on the existing project environment (environmental baseline conditions), opinions/views obtained from stakeholder consultations, and the consultant’s professional judgement. For this project, the selected VECs include the Atmospheric Environment; Acoustic Environment; Wetland Environment; Terrestrial Environment; Public Health and Safety; Labour and Economy; and Public Services Infrastructure / Utilities. The potential interactions between the Project Related Activities and the Selected VECs for each phase of the project implementation are illustrated in Table 6.1-1. Table 6.1-1: Potential Interactions of the Project with VECs.

Distinguished from members of those cultures whose connection to the land on which they live is limited to the historical period. UDSM 79 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 6.2 Assessment of Impacts The identified impacts have been assessed by using Environmental Impact Assessment Matrix34 provided in APPENDIX 4, The EIA Matrix helped to determine the significance of impacts based on the following criteria: • Importance – whether important to national, regional, or international interest or site- specific. • Magnitude of Change – whether Positive or Negative • Permanence – whether condition is permanent or temporary. • Reversibility- reversible or irreversible. • Whether Cumulative / Synergistic for positive and negative impacts, respectively. The significance of impacts also took into consideration existing by-laws, national and international environmental standards, legislation, treaties, and conventions that may affect the significance of identified impacts. These techniques have been used in order to have a logical and systematic way of identifying, assessing, and analysing environmental impacts. The techniques also allowed subjective judgments to be quantitatively recorded and therefore make the assessment of impacts become more objective. 6.3 Environmental Impacts 6.3.1 Construction Phase 6.3.1.1 Air pollution due to dust and exhaust emissions The project will interact with Atmospheric Environment during the construction phase through excavation and stockpiling of excavated soil materials during preparation of construction site. This is likely to result into increased air pollution due to dust emission, especially during dry seasons, hence affecting the the construction workers and nearby people. Air pollution will also occur due to exhaust emissions from operation of construction equipment/machinery. The impact has been assessed to be direct and negative with Low Significance. It is expected to be short-term and temporary, occurring only during the construction phase. If it occurs, its effects on human health will be reversible. 6.3.1.2 Noise nuisance and vibration effects The project will interact with the Acoustic Environment during the construction phase through the operation of mobile equipment/machinery. This is likely to result in noise nuisance and vibration effects. Due to the high noise emission from construction equipment/machinery, the most affected people will be the construction workers and other people close to the construction site. The impact has been assessed to be direct and negative with Low Significance. It is expected to be short-term and temporary, occurring only during the construction phase. Its effects on human health will be reversible and non-cumulative if it occurs. 6.3.1.3 Risk of overloading the wetland ecosystem The project will interact with the existing wetland environment during the operation phase through the discharge of raw sewage water from sanitary facilities. During the site investigation, it was noted that the sewer manholes are directed towards the existing wetland area. This practice is anticipated to continue during the operation of Lecture Rooms and Laboratory Facilities. Raw sewage wastewater contains a high concentration of nutrients, particularly nitrates (NO3- ) which promotes the growth of algae (a process known as eutrophication). The discharge of raw sewage into the wetland area is likely to result in overloading of the wetland ecosystem. 34 Environmental Impact Assessment Using the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM). Ed. Kurt Jensen. Published by Olsen & Olsen, 1998. UDSM 80 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. This is evidenced by the overgrowth of algae, which results in increased biological oxygen demand (BOD), and reduced light penetration, ultimately leading to the death of wetland- dependent flora and fauna. The impact has been assessed to be direct and negative with Medium Significance; and is expected to be long-term and permanent as it will occur throughout the operational phase. However, its effects on the flora and fauna will be reversible if it occurs. The impact is considered to be non-Cumulative as it will not interact with discharge form outside the project site. 6.3.1.4 Landscape degradation and loss of aesthetic value of the surrounding environment The project will interact with Terrestrial Environment during construction phase through excavation and stockpiling of excavated soil materials and demolition materials. This will result into the accumulation of construction related solid wastes and demolition wastes into the surrounding environment. The accumulation of excavated soil materials, construction solid wastes and demolition wastes is likely to result into landscape degradation and loss of aesthetic value of the surrounding environment. The impact has been assessed to be indirect and negative with Very Low Significance; and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during the construction phase. Its effects on the surrounding environment are Reversible because the surrounding environment can be restored to its original condition after the removal of the impact or completion of the project. The impact is considered to be non-Cumulative the impact will occur only within the boundaries of the construction site. 6.4 Social Impacts 6.4.1 Construction Phase Public Health is a condition of the environment that relates to the physical health and well- being of the public /local community surrounding the Project. The potential for public health concerns includes those associated with chemical emissions, human health factors, potable water supplies, and several types of accidents, malfunctions, and unplanned events. The project will intreact with Public Health and Safety to create the following impacts during construction phase: • Increased prevalence of HIV/AIDS and STIs due to interaction between the construction workers and local community members. • Creation of occupational health and safety risks to the construction workers due to handling /operation of hazardous construction materials/equipment. • Creation of risk of construction related accidents due to trespass by unauthorized people into the construction sites. • Increased risk of traffic accidents at the junction of access roads due to frequent movement of construction vehicles to and from the construction site. • Increased risk of Covid-19 transmission due to influx of people into the construction site. 6.4.1.1 Increased prevalence of HIV/AIDS and STIs The project is likely to result into increased prelence of HIV/AIDS and STIs in the project areas due to social interaction between construction workers and local community is likely to result into increased prevalence of HIV/AIDS and STIs among the local community members of the project area. The impact has been assessed to be indirect and negative with High Significance; and is expected to be long-term and permanent as it continues to occur even after construction UDSM 81 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. phase. Its effects on the human health are Irreversible because there is not yet any known treatment for HIV, apart from Ant-retrovirus (ARV) drugs, which helps to increase resistance against HIV. The impact is considered to be Cumulative because it will be additional to the current situation on HIV/AIDS prevalence in the project area. 6.4.1.2 Occupational health and safety risks The project will involve construction workers handling and operating hazardous construction materials and equipment. This will likely result in occupational health and safety risks for the workers. These include physical injury from construction equipment like jackhammers, exposure to dusty construction materials like dry cement, sand, and aggregate, and hand injury due to exposure to wet cement, etc. The impact has been assessed to be direct and negative with Low Significance. It is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during the construction phase. Its effects on human health will be reversible because damage occurs only within the boundaries of the construction site. 6.4.1.3 Construction-related risk of accidents. The project involves the movement of mobile construction equipment, like bulldozers, graders, and heavy-dumper trucks, around the construction site. Therefore, unauthorized people trespassing into the construction site are likely to result in the risk of construction-related accidents. For example, a person may be overrun by backwards-moving mobile construction equipment/machinery, especially if it is not fitted with a sounding alarm device. The impact has been assessed to be indirect and negative with Low Significance; and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during construction phase. However, its effects on human health may be Irreversible because the impact may result in fatal injury (death) or non-fatal injury, which results in the loss of an organ (E.g., legs, arms, etc.). The impact is considered to be non-cumulative because it will occur only within the boundaries of the construction site. 6.4.1.4 Increased risk of traffic accidents The project will involve the movement of heavy trucks to and from the construction site during the transportation of construction materials or spoil/soil materials from the construction site to the dumping site. The frequent movement of heavy trucks to and from the construction site is likely to result in the risk of traffic accidents at the junction between the access roads to the construction site and the local main road. The impact has been assessed to be indirect and negative with Low Significance and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during the construction phase. However, its effects on human health may be Irreversible because it may result in fatal injury (death) or non-fatal body injury and irreversible damage to property. The impact is considered to be Cumulative because it will be additional to the current situation of traffic accidents along the local roads. 6.4.1.5 Increased risk of Covid-19 transmission. The project is likely to induce influx of people into the project site, in terms of job seekers, small business operators, etc. This will result into increased number of people around the project site, hence resulting into increased risk of transmission of Covid-19, if precautions are not taken. The impact has been assessed to be indirect and negative with High Significance; and is expected to be long-term and permanent as it continues to occur even after construction phase. Its effects on the human health are Irreversible because there is not yet any known treatment for Covid-19., apart from Vaccine, which helps to increase resistance against Covid- 1p Virus. The impact is considered to be Cumulative because it will be additional to the current situation on Covid-19 pandemic in the project area. UDSM 82 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 6.4.1.6 Creation of temporary employment for local people The project is will involve recruitment of local residents during construction, hence creation of temporary employment to the local people during construction. The project is expected to employ at least 50 people during construction. The employment of local people into the project will also benefit their dependant families. For example, if the project employs 50 people and if each individual has an average of 5 dependants, then the project is likely to benefit about 250 people. The impact has been assessed to be direct and positive with Medium Significance; and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during construction phase. However, it can have Long-term effects on the socio-economic conditions of the local people. The impact is considered to be Synergistic because it is a positive impact, which will be additional to the current situation on employment creation in the project area. 6.4.1.7 Increased income generation opportunity for local people. The presence of large number of construction workers will result into increased demand for food and other items, hence resulting into increased income generation opportunity for local people. The impact has been assessed to be indirect positive with Medium Significance; and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during construction phase. However, it can have long-term effects on the socio-economic conditions of the local people. The impact is considered to be Synergistic because it is a positive impact, which will be additional to the current situation on income generation in the project area. 6.4.1.8 Emergence of GBV/SEA and SH among the project employees Differences in gender and socio-economic status among the project employees are likely to result into emergence of Gender Based Violence (GBV), Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA), and Sexual Harassment (SH). For example, some corrupt senior project staff may demand sexual favours from female job seekers or demand sex from female employees. The impact has been assessed to be indirect negative with High Significance; and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it occurs only during construction phase. However, it can have long-term socio-psychological effects of the affected people. The impact is considered to be Cumulative because it will be additional to the current situation on GBV/SEA and SH in the project area. 6.4.2 Demobilization Phase 6.4.2.1 Loss of temporary employment by local people. During demobilization or closure of the project, the construction workers will be retrenched, hence loss of employment. The effect is not likely to be significant due to the fact that the retrenched people will be from within the project area and are likely to revert back to their initial economic activities. Nevertheless, if their terminal benefits are not paid the effect is likely to be significant. The impact has been assessed to be direct negative with Low Significance; and is expected to be short-term and temporary as it will occur during construction phase. The impact is considered to be non-Cumulative because will occur within the project area. 6.4.3 Operation Phase 6.4.3.1 Increased revenue for infrastructure/utility service providers. The project will involve the construction of new building structures and associated facilities, hence increased power and water supply during construction. The project will also result into increased demand for power and water supply during operation due to the increased number of students, staff and operational activities. This is considered to be a beneficial or positive UDSM 83 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. impact because the increased demand for infrastructure/utility services will result into increased revenue for infrastructure/utility service providers such as TANESCO, DAWASA, TTCL and Mobile Phone Companies. The impacts have been assessed to be indirect and positive with Medium Significance, and are expected to be long-term and permanent as it will continue to occur throughout the operation phase. The impact can be considered to be non-Cumulative because it will occur only within the project site due to operation of Lecture Rooms and Laboratory Building. 6.4.3.2 Increased enrolment of students and revenue collection. The project will involve the construction of new lecture theatres, laboratory building and associated facilities. This will result into increased revenue due to increased enrolment of students at SoAF Kunduchi Campus. The impacts have been assessed to be indirect and positive with High Significance; and are expected to be long-term and permanent as it will continue to occur throughout the operation phase. The impact can be considered to be Synergistic because it will add positively to the current situation on revenue collection at the SoAF Kunduchi Campus. 6.5 Summary of Identified Significant Impacts The summary of identified significant impacts in Table 6.3-1 indicates most of the negative impacts will occur during construction phase and their significance ranges from Low, Medium to High and most of the positive impacts will occur during operation phase and their significance ranges from Medium to High.

Typically, these are a function of project or infrastructure design in the context of its receiving environment, and ultimately how the project is affected by nature. These effects/impacts may arise from physical conditions, landforms, and site characteristics or other attributes of the environment which may act on the project such that the project components, schedule, and/or costs could be substantively and adversely changed. In this report, the assessment of the effects of the environment focuses on the environmental attributes that are considered to have potential effects/impact on the Project. These are based on regulatory consultation, public and stakeholder input, a review of the known past and existing conditions, and knowledge gained through projections of potential future conditions. UDSM 85 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. For example, potential effects of climate change, severe weather such as wind; precipitation; floods; electrical storms; seismic activity; and external fires resulting from causes other than the Project. This section provides a summary of the identified environmental effects of the Project. In general, the effects of the environment on the Project during the construction phase have been rated not significant. 6.6.1 Impacts of Climate Change on the Project The Project area may experience extreme weather conditions during construction and operational life of the Project due to increasing climate change events. To assess the environmental effects of climate on the Project, current climate and climate change must both be considered. Current climate conditions are established by compiling relevant historical data and establishing a climatological background for the project area. The historical and projected extremes in temperature, intense precipitation, or other storm events, are important considerations that must be accounted for in the design of the Project and in all other aspects of construction. The study on climate projections indicates in the present century (2011–2040) Dar Es Salaam is projected to feature decreased minimum temperature in the range of −0.1°C to 0°C; and increased rainfall in the range of 0.25 to 0.5 mm/day35. Forecasted changes in climate may affect construction and operation in both positive and negative ways and may vary from nominal to extreme effects. Climate changes that could potentially have residual effects on the project include: • increased incidence of soil erosion and flooding. • increased frequency and magnitude of heavy precipitation events; • increased frequency of extreme storms accompanied by heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, and strong winds; and • Extreme atmospheric temperatures and weather conditions. Each of these effects must be considered in terms of how they may adversely affect the Project if they are not planned, engineered, and designed to account for such effects. Such effects could cause: • reduced visibility and inability to manoeuvre operation equipment; • delays in shipment of materials, supplies and/or products; • changes to the ability of workers to access the site (e.g., if a road were to be washed out); • damage to infrastructure; • increased structural loading; and/or • loss of electrical power resulting in potential loss of production. Mitigation measures The potential effects of climate on construction will be considered in the planning and designs of the building structures and in the scheduling of construction activities to limit delays, prevents damage to infrastructure and the environment, and maximize the safety of construction staff. Compliance with design and building codes and standards are expected to account for weather extremes through built-in factors of safety to prevent undue damage to infrastructure from such events. Table 6.4-1 provides the general mitigation measures against climate change effects. Table 6.4-2 outlines the specific mitigation measures against the potential effects/impacts of climate change on the construction of Lecture Theatres and Laboratory Facilities Building at SoAF Kunduchi Campus. The predicted effects of climate change on the project will be carefully taken into account in the planning, design, and construction activities. These include the location of the construction 35 Climate Change Projections for Tanzania Based on High-Resolution Regional Climate Models from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX)-Africa.

The likely adverse effects on the project during construction and operation will be taken into consideration in the planning and design of the project (or managed adaptively as appropriate as information regarding climate change evolves. As a result, substantive damage to the project or interruption to the project schedules is not anticipated. Table 6.4-1: General Climate Change Effects and Mitigation Measures.

Planting of trees around the building to act as wind barriers. 6.6.2 Impacts of Seismic Activity on the Project The construction site is not located within an area with high seismic hazard36 and therefore, the likelihood of a major seismic event in the immediate vicinity of the construction site that could cause damage to the building structure or interrupt operations during any project phase is low. 6.6.3 Impacts of External Fires on the Project In the event that an external fire did occur in close proximity to the Project, there is a potential risk of contact with fuel storage tanks, thereby potentially creating a risk of fire with petroleum products which are by their nature highly flammable. Mitigation measures The presence of a fence wall established around the materials storage yard will help to reduce the likelihood of an external fire causing substantive damage to the Project. In addition, firefighting capabilities (including appropriate equipment) on-site will be at a high level of readiness. The safety and security personnel will be in place in collaboration with Fire and Rescue Department to provide for rapid detection and response to any fire threat. The materials to be used for construction will be inherently fire resistant. For example, the facility structures can be constructed primarily of concrete and steel, which are not typically affected by fire. 6.7 Analysis of Alternatives The purpose of the project is to undertake construction of lecture theatres and laboratory building and associated facilities at the SoAF Kunduchi Campus. The justification for the project has been prompted by the need for strengthening the learning environment and labour market alignment of priority programmes at beneficiary higher education institutions and improving the management of the higher education system. The three alternatives have been considered in this study based on technical, economic, environmental and social criteria. That means selected alternative must be technically feasible, economically viable, environmentally friendly and socially acceptable. The analysis of alternatives considered the following alternatives: 36 Map updated by U.S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Information Centre. 13 September 2016. https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/20160910.pdf UDSM 88 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. • No Project Alternatives-which considered whether the project should be implemented or not. • Project Alternative-which requires the project to be implemented. • Construction Method Alternatives-which considered what type of construction methods (Labour intensive or Machine-intensive method) For comparison of these alternatives the multi-Criteria Analysis has been used, based on Technical, Economic (Techno-economic), Environmental and Social Criteria. 6.7.1 No Project Alternative VS Project Alternative The purpose of the project is to improve the learning environment in line with the requirements of the labour market at the beneficiary higher education institutions and improving the higher education system. This objective will be achieved through construction of Lecture Rooms and Laboratory Building, hence increasing the number of students’ enrollment at SoAF Kunduchi Campus. Therefore, the “No project� Alternative� means the project should not be implemented at all and we should continue using the existing training facilities, hence continue with the current enrolment level. The comparison of alternatives based on techno-economic, environmental and social criteria is summarized in Table 6.5-1. From techno-economic point of view the “No Project Alternative� will have no or less investment cost, because the existing facilities will only continue to be used. The “No Project Alternative� means the higher learning institution will continue to experience low enrolment of students, low revenue collection from fess and low productivity. The “Project Alternative� will result into increased revenue due to fee collection from increased student’s enrolment, and increased productivity due to operation of modern learning facilities. In addition, the Project Alternative is likely to create temporary employment and income generation opportunities for some local people during construction. Therefore, from techno- economic point of view the “No Project Alternative� should be rejected and the “Project Alternative� should be selected. From economic point of view the “No Project Alternative� will have long term negative impacts due to continued low students’ enrolment level and low productivity due to continued dependence on old learning facilities. The “Project Alternative� will have long term economic benefits due to improved learning facilities, increased revenue from fee collection as a result of increased student’s enrolment level, good quality training with increased output of highly qualified professionals. From environmental point of view the “No Project Alternative� will have fewer negative impacts than the “Project Alternative�. The “Project Alternative� will result into more negative impacts than the “No Project Alternative. However, the construction related impacts will be short-term and temporary as they occur only during construction phase and could be minimized through engineering design and good construction practice. Therefore, from environmental and social point of view the “No Project Alternative� should be rejected and the “Project Alternative� should be selected.

Therefore, the “Project Alternative� should be selected and “No Project Alternative should be rejected. 6.7.2 Labour Intensive Alternative VS Machine Intensive Alternatives The use of labour-intensive construction method is compared against machine-intensive construction method. The comparison of alternatives based on techno-economic, environmental and social criteria is summarized in Table 6.6-1. From a techno-economic point of view the labour-intensive construction method makes use of manual labour and therefore likely to create employment opportunity to a large number of adjacent local residents than machine-intensive method, hence improving the local economy. The employment creation will have multiplier effect as it will also benefit their families, hence socially acceptable. However, the use of mobile equipment / machine is more costly than labour-intensive method, but it is more efficient than labour-intensive method. From environmental and social point of view the labour-intensive method will have minimum risk of construction related risk of accidents to construction workers and the local community, unlike the use of mobile equipment / machinery during excavation works, Labour-intensive method has less environmental impacts compared to machine-intensive method. For example, the use of mobile equipment / machine is likely to create more dust emission than labour-intensive method. The use of mobile equipment/machine will also create air pollution and noise nuisance than labour-intensive method. The use of mobile equipment will have will create more landscape degradation than labour-intensive method. From the analysis it can be seen that the labour-intensive method should be selected and machine-intensive method should be rejected. However, due to the nature of the project and limitations of labour-intensive method, the combination of the two methods should be more favourable. In this case, the contractor should give priority to labour-intensive method for those activities that could be done manually. For, example, excavation of roadside drainages could be done manually instead of using an excavator. UDSM 90 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus.

The “Labour-Intensive Construction Method� seems to be favourable than “Machine-Intensive Construction Method�. However, due to the nature of the project the labour-intensive method has been found to have some limitations, and therefore the combination of the two methods should be considered. However, during construction more emphasis will be given on the labour-intensive method in order to promote employment of the local people. For example, excavation of storm water drainages, relocation of utilities, etc. 6.7.3 Alternative Site The option of selecting alternative site was not considered because the existing site is already being owned by the project proponent. Therefore, selecting an alternative location was found to be uneconomical due to cost implication. Moreover, the existing site is compatible with urban land use planning by the Kinondoni District Council. Also, the site is well located far from the noisy urban centre and free from land use development pressure. The site is easily accessible by road and can be easily connected to electricity power and water supply which runs along the road. Finally, the site is on the raised ground and therefore free from flooding events and soil material is suitable for construction. 6.7.4 Energy Alternative It is assumed that the project will largely depend on electricity power supply from TANESCO because it is readily available and affordable. However, the power supply from TANECO is not reliable as evidenced by frequent power outage. In this regard, there is a need for emergency power source. UDSM 91 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. In this case two alternatives for emergency power source have been considered. The most common and easily affordable is the use of diesel engine generator. However, the diesel engine generator is not environmentally friendly due to noise, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The use of solar power could be a preferable option to diesel engine generator. However, the use of solar power is restricted by its high investment cost, especially when it is used for large area. It is therefore recommended that a diesel engine generator should be used temporarily and then replaced by solar power when investment cost becomes affordable. 6.7.5 Waste Water Treatment Alternatives Alternative 1: Use of Wast Stabilization Ponds (WSP) This refers to the use of a series of ponds/lagoons which allow several biological processes to take place, before the water is released back to the water body. However, the project site does not have adequate land for establishment of WSP. Therefore, this alternative should not be further considered for this project. Alternative 2: Constructed Wetland Constructed wetlands are engineered system designed and constructed to copy natural processes taking place in the natural wetlands. Constructed wetlands remove pollutants in wastewater through the combination of physical, biological and chemical processes. They are either subsurface flow where the flow is below the surface of soil or surface flow where the flow of wastewater is above the soil. The site investigation indicates there is a marshland area on the eastern side of the proposed construction site. The marshland is currently being used for discharge of raw sewage from the sanitary facilities. Therefore, there is a potential for using this marshland area for establishment of constructed wetland. However, the constructed wetland will be used in combination with Septic Tank/Soak Pits, whereby treated water from Soak Pits will be discharged into the constructed wetland before being discharged into the sea. The discharged treated wastewater from the constructed wetland will be monitored periodically to ensure the discharged effluent meets the Tanzania Standards According to the Tanzania Standards sewage disposal field must not be less than 100 m from a water source. The marshland area is more than 200 m from the shoreline, hence complies with the prescribed minimum distance from a water source. The sea water is considered as Category 2 receiving water body in accordance Water Utilization (Control and Regulation) (Amendment) Act, 1981. Therefore, effluent discharged from the Constructed Wetland must meet the Maximum Permissible Concentration (MPC) for Category 2 receiving water body (MPC-2). The MPC-2 in the receiving water must be measured below the mixing zone of the effluent discharge. CHAPTER SEVEN 7.0 ENHANCEMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES Preamble In general, the project has been found to have both beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) effect/impacts. However, the positive impacts have been found to outweigh the negative impacts. Moreover, most of the identified negative impacts are short-term, as they occur only during construction phase, but most of the identified positive impacts are long-term as they UDSM 92 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. continue during the operation phase. The positive impacts will be enhanced in order to maximize the project benefits. The identified positive impacts include creation of temporary employment and income generation opportunity for local people during construction; increased revenue for infrastructure/utility service providers; and increased enrolment of local and foreign students due to improved learning facilities at the SoAF Kunduchi Campus. The employment opportunities can be increased by emphasising on labour-intensive construction methods. The labour-intensive construction methods apart from increasing employment opportunities for local people, it helps them build some skills for future employment and creates some sense of project ownership by the local community. The identified negative impacts include creation of air pollution due to dust emission from construction activities; creation of noise nuisance due to operation of construction equipment/machinery; overloading of wetland ecosystem due to discharge of raw sewage wastewater from sanitary facilities; landscape degradation and loss of aesthetic value of the surrounding environment due to accumulation of excavated soil materials; loss of ecological functions and landscape quality due to removal of existing vegetation/trees;; increased HIV/AIDS prevalence due to social interaction between construction workers and students/local community members; increased risk of exposure to Covid-19 due to influx of people into the construction site; increased risk of exposure to construction related accidents due to trespassing of unauthorized persons into the construction site; increased exposure to occupational health and safety risks due to handling/operation of hazardous construction materials/equipment; increased risk of traffic accidents due to movement of heavy trucks to and from the construction site; loss of temporary employment by local people due to closure or completion of the project. The purpose of this Chapter is to outline enhancement and mitigation measures for the identified positive and negative impacts, respectively. In order have easy understanding the information is presented in a tabular form showing the identified impacts (positive or negative) and proposed enhancement or mitigation measures during the project implementation phases (i.e. mobilization, construction, demobilization and operation phase. 7.1 Enhancement Measures for Positive Impacts 7.1.1 Creation of temporary employment opportunities for local people The following enhancement measures will be taken by the Contractor to maximize the project benefits: • Giving employment priority to the local people during recruitment of construction workers. • Giving equal employment opportunities to males and females and avoid any kind of discrimination based on gender, race, religion, etc. • Ensure all workers are served with Employment Contracts which stipulates all workers’ rights under the labour laws such as maternity leave, sick leave, etc. • Ensure workers are paid not less than minimum wage as stipulated by the government. • Ensure payment of monthly contributions to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and Workers Compensation Fund (WCF) as required by the national laws. • Ensure all workers are made aware, understand and follow the Code of Ethical Conduct. 7.1.2 Increased income generation opportunities for local people Provide enabling environment for food vendors to sell their food in a clean and hygienic environment by providing shelter and water supply. UDSM 93 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 7.1.3 Increased enrolment of students and revenue for the institute The UDSM Vice Chancellor in collaboration with Principal of CoICT Kijitonyama Campus will promote marketing of the institute at national and international levels. 7.1.4 Increased revenue for infrastructure/ utility service providers UDSM will maintain regular cooperation and consultation with infrastructure/utility service providers for efficient utilization of services from the infrastructure and utility companies. 7.2 Mitigation measures for Negative Impacts 7.1.5 Creation of air pollution due to dust and exhaust emission from construction activities. The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor during construction to minimize air pollution from dust and exhaust emissions: • Application of water on dusty areas and dusty construction materials. • Minimize stockpiling of excavated soils within the construction site by immediate removal and transportation to dumping site. • Trucks hauling excavated soil materials and dusty construction materials must be covered with tarpaulins. • Carry out regular maintenance of vehicles and avoid the use of old vehicles and mobile construction equipment which emit black smoke. 7.1.6 Creation of noise nuisance and vibration effects The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor during construction to minimize noise nuisance: • Limiting noisy construction activities only to day time hours. • Fencing of the construction site with corrugated irons sheets to minimize transmission of noise to the sensitive receptors. 7.1.7 Landscape degradation and loss of aesthetic value of the surrounding environment The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor to minimize land degradation: • All stockpiled soil materials and demolition solid wastes must be immediately removed and transported to the permitted dumping site. • Useful soil materials can be retained for landscaping purpose, but must be properly stockpiled. 7.1.8 Loss of ecological functions and landscape quality of the surrounding environment The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor to minimize destruction of vegetation cover/trees: • Avoid vegetation clearing beyond the boundaries of the construction site, and avoid cutting any tree without permission from the Resident Engineer. • Ensure proper landscaping by planting grass and trees in open areas around the buildings after construction. However, precaution must be taken to avoid trees species that can cause damage to the building foundations37. 7.1.9 Increased prevalence of HIV/AIDS and STIs The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor to minimize transmission of HIV and STIs among the construction workers and local community members: • Formulation and implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention and control programme. 37 This effect has already been noted during the site investigation at CoET Site. UDSM 94 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. • Giving employment priority to local people to minimize the number of new comers, hence minimizing the likelihood of new HIV transmission. • Collaboration with local NGOs/CBOs dealing with HIV/AIDS to promote awareness and education campaigns. 7.1.10 Increased risk of Covid-19 transmission The Contractor will take necessary precautions as stipulated in the ESF/Safeguards Interim Note: Covid-19 Consideration in Construction/Civil Works Projects. 7.1.11 Increased risk of construction related accidents The following mitigation measures will be taken by the contractor during construction: • Fitting all mobile construction equipment / machinery and trucks with sounding alarm and signal device to warn people, especially during backward movement. • Putting a written warning sign boards in Kiswahili and English languages at strategic locations to prohibit or prevent entrance of unauthorized persons into the construction site. • Restrict operation of mobile construction machinery / equipment to trained personnel only. • Fencing the construction site to prevent people from entering the construction site. This will include putting a written warning in both English and Kiswahili at a strategic location to prevent unauthorized people from entering the construction site. 7.1.12 Creation of occupational health and safety risks The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor to minimize exposure of construction workers to health and safety risks: • Provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as reflective vests, hand gloves, welding googles, safety boots, etc. • Avoid prolonged use of hand-held equipment by workers beyond the prescribed 8 hours in accordance with Tanzania Standards38. 7.1.13 Increased risk of traffic accidents due to movement of heavy trucks The Contractor will develop and implement traffic management plan. This includes deploying flag persons to guide traffic movement at the junction of the main road and access road to the construction site. The involvement of traffic police will be useful, whenever possible. 7.1.14 Risk of emergence of GBV/SEA and SH among the project employees ▪ Ensuring there are codes of conduct in place that forbid and place penalties for GBV/SEA and SH. ▪ Disseminating information that raises awareness on the prohibition of GBV/SEA and SH among the construction workers, students/local community members. ▪ Contractor will develop a code of conduct on ESHS, GBV/SEA and SH that will be attached to the Employment Contractors. ▪ Grievances Redress Mechanism will be in place to deal with GBV/SEA and SH for construction workers and students/local community members. 7.1.15 Risk of overloading the wetland ecosystem The following mitigation measures will be taken to minimize the risk of overlading the existing wetland ecosystem: • Prohibit discharge of raw sewage wastewater from sanitary facilities into the existing wetland area. • Convert the existing wetland area into a constructed wetland for receiving treated wastewater from the septic tank / soak pit treatment system. 38 The United Republic of Tanzania. The Environmental Management (Standards for Control of Noise and Vibration Pollution) Regulations (2010). THIRD SCHEDULE (Made Under Regulation 15(1)).

Before commencement of site clearing the Contractor will make consultation with the affected students to identify new location for construction o concrete desks. The new location must be almost the same or better off than the old one. 7.1.16 Loss of temporary employment opportunities The following mitigation measures will be taken by the Contractor to minimize the effect of retrenchment after project completion or closure: • Giving employment priority to local people, because after project closure they will easily revert back to their normal economic activities. • Ensure that all construction workers are registered with social security funds and are paid their terminal benefits immediately before retrenchment from jobs. • Remittance of monthly NSSF contributions for all workers and submission of payslips to the Resident Engineer on monthly basis. 39Water Utilization (Control and Regulation) (Amendment) Act, 1981. WATER QUALITY STANDARDS. (First Schedule Made under Section 21(1)1.) UDSM 96 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. CHAPTER EIGHT 8.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT PLAN (HSMP) 8.1 The Need for HSMP The UDSM SoAF Kunduchi Project will involve construction activities which are likely to create environmental health and safety risk to construction workers, visitors, and adjacent local community members. Thus, during construction phase, the Contractor is required to prepare Health and Safety Management Plan (HSMP) in order to mitigate or minimize health and safety risks associated with the project during construction. Thus, the purpose of this Health and Safety Management Plan (HSMP) is to guide the Contractor to prepare site specific HSMP to manage health and safety issues at workplace and the construction site. The Contractor’s HSMP will provide detailed measures to eliminate or minimize health and safety risks to construction workers, visitors, and safeguard the workers’ welfare. 8.2 The Objectives of HSMP The overall goal of HSMP is to protect employees, the public, the environment and to comply with applicable laws and protect the Company’s reputation40. HSMP has two general objectives: prevention of incidents or accidents that might result from abnormal operating conditions on the one hand and reduction of adverse effects that result from normal operating conditions on the other hand. Thus the Contractor will be required to prepare a project specific HSMP, which details on how the environmental health and safety requirements, will be implemented and managed at the construction site. The Contractor’s HSMP will provide details on how the contractor will mitigate construction health and safety impacts/risks and documents the contractor’s response to inspection, monitoring, verification, internal auditing and correcting or improving environmental health and safety performance. Specifically, the objectives of this HSMP are to: • Provide specific mitigation measures and controls that can be applied on-site to avoid or minimize environmental health and safety risk. • Describe health and safety management related roles and responsibilities of key personnel in implementing the identified safety measures and corrective actions. • Outline monitoring regime to check the adequacy of safety measures during construction phase. • Provide emergency preparedness and response mechanism to during construction phase. 8.3 Organizational Structure and Responsibilities The organizational structure for implementation of HSMP is provided in Figure 8.3-1. The organization structure indicates there will be a forward and back flow of information among the key personnel and site construction team during implementation of HSMP. The responsibilities of key personnel and site construction team are provided in APPENDIX 5. The key personnel may include the Project Manager; Site Manager; Health and Safety Manager; Materials Engineer; and Site Foreman. 40 5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment,_health_and_safety UDSM 97 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Figure 8.3-1: Organizational Structure for the EH&S Management Plan. 8.4 Health and Safety Management System The health and safety management system entails implementation of safety training and promotion of health and safety awareness, on the job-training, and toolbox talks 8.4.1 Safety Training and Promotion The aims of safety training and promotion programs are: • To update the safety awareness and technical skills of persons in the field of application. • To orient new employees to working environment. • To identify and rectify hazards and convey the same to the workforce. • To prepare the persons to select appropriate safety measure to overcome any unforeseen hazards/emergency situations. To achieve the above aims, the following types of training shall be conducted at the site level: (a) Induction training on health and safety: New or re-assigned employees shall be given health & safety introduction training pertaining to health & safety management and general safety rules and procedure, site specific health & safety rules and their responsibility and accountability in safety performance. Health & safety introduction shall be given to all categories of personnel at site by health & safety Manager. (b) On the Job Training - Based on the trade, individuals are given on the Job training.

Contractor’s Health and Safety Manager shall inspect all project components using a Site Safety Inspection Checklist. 8.4.3 Reporting of Accidents, Incidents and Investigation Any accident or incident that will occur at site shall be recorded using Incident Reporting Data Sheet and the same information will be communicated to Chief Inspector of Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) within 24 hours from the time of incident. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer and Employer as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of any accident which has resulted in damage or loss of property, disability or loss of human life. The types of reported accidents include death; major injuries41; over 3-day injuries42; work related disease; and dangerous occurrences43. The majority of construction accidents or serious near misses must be reported to the Health and Safety Manager so they can be recorded officially and acted upon. All the incidents shall be investigated to find out the root causes and to prevent the recurrences of the same kind. The methodology for the incident investigation shall be “Find out the facts, not the faults�. A monthly safety performance report of the project shall be included in the Monthly Progress Report after the end of each month. Man-hours are defined as man-hours worked by all persons employed on site (including site supervisory staff, managerial staff and sub- contractors). \ 8.5 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment The purpose of the hazard identification and risk assessment is to identify all potential hazards and associated risks during construction. The contractor shall take relevant measures to control all critical, high and moderate hazards. Low potential hazards will be eliminated. Prior to the commencement of any activity, detailed hazard identification shall be done by the site supervisory staff with the assistance of Health & Safety Manager and the hazards shall be communicated to the whole team deemed to execute the task. 8.5.1 Risk assessment Assessing the risk includes considering things like: • the severity of any injury or illness that could occur, for example is it a small isolated hazard that could result in a very minor injury or is it a significant hazard that could have wide ranging and severe affects, and • the likelihood or chance that someone will suffer an illness or injury, for example, consider the number of people exposed to the hazard. Severity and likelihood are combined to develop Risk Rating Matrix as shown in Table 8.5-1. 41 It could be worker injuries or public member injuries. 42 Employee fails to perform normal duties work for 3 consecutive days. 43 These are near-miss happenings that are reportable. UDSM 100 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. Table 8.5-1: Risk Rating Matrix Likelihood (L) Consequences (C) Rare Unlikely Possible Very Likely Certain Catastrophic Moderate Moderate High Critical Critical Major Low Moderate Moderate High Critical Moderate Low Moderate Moderate Moderate High Minor Very Low Low Moderate Moderate Moderate Insignificant Very Low Very Low Low Low Moderate Consequences (C) How Severely Could Someone be Hurt? Catastrophic Death or permanent disability Major Serious Injury, hospital treatment required Moderate Injury requiring medical treatment and some lost time Minor Minor injury, first aid only required Insignificant Injury requiring no treatment or first aid Likelihood (L) How Likely Are the Consequences? Certain Expected to occur in most circumstance Very Likely Will probably occur in most circumstance Possible Will occur occasionally Unlikely Could happen some time Rare May happen only in exceptional circumstances 8.5.2 Control the risks The Contractor shall apply the hierarchy of risk control, whereby risks are ranked from the highest level of protection and reliability to the lowest. The first step is to eliminate a hazard, which is the most effective control. If this is not reasonably practicable, then risk will be minimized by substitution, isolation, and engineering controls. If risk remains, it must be minimized by implementing administrative controls, and by using suitable personal protective equipment. However, administrative control measures and personal protective equipment rely on human behaviour and supervision, and when used on their own, tend to be least effective in minimizing risks. Therefore, review control measures shall be used to be more effective. 8.5.3 Review control measures Control measures must be reviewed regularly to make sure they remain effective. Controls can be checked by using the same methods as the initial hazard identification process. Common methods include workplace inspection, consultation, testing and analyzing records and data. The entire process of risk identification, assessment and control will be done by contractor’s Health and Safety Manager in collaboration with entire construction team. 8.6 Industrial health and hygiene 8.6.1 Potential health hazards Potential hazards to health in a construction industry can arise from the use of materials, substances and process if they are not properly controlled. Some risks are caused by the inhalation of dust, toxic fumes, exposure to high temperature, noise, vibration, radioactive substances, etc. Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining healthy working conditions for all employees and sub-contractors. If it is not possible to remove the cause of harm then suitable and sufficient Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be provided to those who could be affected.

Storm runoff discharged from the construction site (temporary drainage facility) shall be through concrete lined storm water drainages. 9.3.10 Noise Control Construction works shall be confined to the day time only and construction near the sensitive receptors be noise-free. Personnel, visitor and construction worker at the site must wear proper hearing protection device to avoid hearing injury by noise. The Environmental Specialist must check the site periodically to ensure the site comply with Occupation Health and Safety. 9.4 Grievances Redress Mechanism The Contractor will be required to formulate Grievances Redress Mechanism (GRM). The purpose of the GRM is to outline a process for dealing with or resolving project-level grievances raised by Aggrieved Person (AP) regarding specific activities, and/or unanticipated social impacts resulting from Project implementation. The GRM applies to the construction workers, local community members, and other stakeholders who are directly or indirectly affected by the project. The grievance process outlined hereunder provides procedures for handling complaints/claims internally in a transparent manner, to avoid conflict and therefore maintain good relationships with various stakeholders. The PIU will oversee implementation of GRM during execution of the Project, to ensure the protection of the rights of APs and beneficiaries during Project implementation. The requirements for the GRM are as follows: • The grievance process must not impose any cost to those raising the grievances (i.e., the complainants). • Concerns arising from Project implementation must be adequately addressed promptly. • Participation in the grievance process must not preclude the pursuit of legal remedies under the laws of Tanzania. UDSM 111 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The issues covered by the GRM, among others, include complaints related to employment, sexual harassment, and gender-based violence. Specifically for employment issues may include: • Failure by the Contractor to serve the employment contract. • Failure by the Contractor to pay minimum wage following the labour laws. • Failure by the Contractor to remit monthly national social security contributions. • Failure by the Contractor to provide medical treatment for a sick employee. • Unlawful termination of a worker, • General workers’ welfare such as annual leave, and sick, maternity and family leave, • Failure to provide Project workers with adequate periods of rest per week, as required by the labour laws. In case of GBV/SEA and SH a proper reception channel will be in place by appointing an NGO (or CBO) to handle all kind of complains related to GBV/SEA and SH), including providing appropriate counselling to the victims. 9.4.1 Formation of Grievances Redress Committee To address grievances, a Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be formed for dealing with grievances as they arise. The GRC will be comprised of the following: • ESU’s Safeguard Officer. • Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist and Social/Gender Specialist • Contractor’s Human Resource Officer. • Municipal Environmental Management Officer (MEMO) and Municipal Community Development Officer (MCDO). • Ward Executive Officers (WEO) from the Ward where project is located. • Street (“Mtaa�) Executive Officers from Streets located in the project site. Note that the presence of the local government authorities is important because some of the grievances may originate outside the project boundaries. The involvement of NGO / CBO will also be necessary. For example, if a project worker is involved in sexual harassment of a local community member, the matter will be handled by a qualified NGO / CBO. The construction workers and local community members will be informed of the existence of the GRM as soon as it is in place, as well as of the following: • Members of the Grievances Redress Committee (GRC) • How to access the GRC. • How to lodge a formal complaint. • The timeframes for each stage of the process. • Characteristics of the GRC: confidentiality, responsiveness, and transparency. • Alternative avenues of grievance resolution in case of conflicts of interest. 9.4.2 Role and Responsibility of Grievances Redress Committee The Gender Redress Committee (GRC) will be chaired by SEU’s Safeguard Officer who shall be responsible for receiving and registering grievances. The Supervision Consultant’s Social/Gender Specialist shall be the Secretary of the GRC and shall be responsible for assisting the Chairperson in documenting, registering, communicating, and reporting issues related to grievances management. The grievance management procedure will be simple and will be administered as far as possible by the GRC at the Project Level. The GRC will prepare monthly reports showing how received grievances were handled summary and submit to UDSM and WB for record purposes. To ensure transparency, the Grievance Redress Procedure will be printed in A3 Size Paper and posted at all strategic locations within the project site to be read by construction workers and local community members. UDSM 112 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The GRC shall disseminate detailed procedures to redress grievances and appeal process among the construction workers and local community members through their local government offices (E.g., Ward Officers and Mtaa Officers). 9.4.3 Grievance Redress Procedures The formal, detailed GRM to be developed will contain specific grievance procedures, including both informal and formal grievance mechanisms. The grievance redress mechanism for dealing with complaints is summarized in Figure 9.5-1. Figure 9.6-1: Grievances Redress Mechanism. In general, complaints and disputes should be resolved at the project level. Each grievance will be treated confidentially. The grievance resolution process is comprised of four stages: • Reception • Investigation and inquiry. • Response • Follow up and closeout. The access to the GRM will be easy and quick, in particular to APs, who are the people most likely to need it. The formal grievance will be: (i) documented in a written Grievance Form and recorded in a logbook: (ii) assessed on its level of urgency/severity; and (iii) assigned to GRC, which will then inform the complainant within seven (7) days that it has received the grievance and that it is under review. UDSM 113 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. The Aggrieved Person (AP) will report his/her grievance to the GRC through its Chairperson. If a grievance is received face to face or over the phone and the aggrieved wishes to address the grievance formally, it is the responsibility of the Chairperson who receives the grievance to complete a Grievance Registration Form. In general, grievances should be resolved within 30 days. The Chairperson will communicate the findings of the investigation and resolution and seek approval from the AP, who will either accept or appeal the outcome. If the AP is satisfied with the outcome, then the grievance is closed out and will provide his/her signature (or fingerprint) on the Grievance Form as confirmation. If an agreement is unable to be reached between the AP and the GRC, the grievance will be submitted to UDSM as a lead Project Implementation Agency for review and a final decision through its HEET Team. If necessary, further action will be taken to resolve the issue. The national courts are the last avenue for addressing grievances. In case the AP reaches the judicial system, there should be no cost to the claimant. A grievance is closed out when no further action can be or needs to be taken. Closure status will be entered into the Grievance database as follows: • Resolved: the resolution of the complaint was reached and implemented and signed documentary evidence exists. • Unresolved: the agreed resolution of the complaint was not reached and the case has been authorized for closeout by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC). • Abandoned: complaints in which efforts to contact a given complainant were unsuccessful for two months after receipt of the formal grievance. Specifically, depending on the issues that may arise during project implementation the following stages will be observed in the grievances redress process: Stage 1: Reception The Aggrieved Persons (AP) is documented in the appropriate form to be provided by Chairperson. If during the process it appears that the AP does not understand the procedures, this will be explained. The Chairperson should not discourage the filing of a grievance form. The grievance will also be documented in the Grievance/Issues Register. The Grievance Registration Form should be signed and dated by the aggrieved person. Where the aggrieved person is unable to write, he shall obtain assistance from the Chairperson to fill the form and emboss the form with his/her thumbprint. Step 2: Investigation If the issue is easily resolvable and it does not require investigation the Chairperson will refer to the GRC, which will carry out the hearing of the grievances and provide the answer within 3 days, after the date of hearing the grievances. If the grievance is a more complex project-related issue, it will be investigated further, and then arrange the hearing within 7 days after the date of registration. The Chairperson will arrange the hearing day within 7, which shall be attended by the AP and the party causing the grievances. The Chairperson will notify both parties within 3 days after the date of hearing the grievance. Step 3: Response It is assumed that all cases shall be solved at the GRC level. However, some cases may remain unresolved. For such cases, the AP shall have the option to refer his/her case to the UDSM 114 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. District Commissioner for final amicable solution. The Chairperson will prepare a preliminary report containing the details of the grievance and hearing date, and decision of GRC and submit to the District Commissioner. Step 4: Follow Up and Close-Out If no amicable solution is reached in Step 3 the AP will have recourse to the court of law as a last resort. This can be a labour court, criminal court, or civil court depending on the type of grievance. This is a stage that although should always be open and available, it will be discouraged by all positive means such as timely communication and open negotiations. The institutional arrangement has been designed to allow for the process to detect and deal with problems in a timely and satisfactory manner for all parties concerned. Therefore, the GRC shall take necessary measures to ensure that solutions are reached by consensus based on negotiation and agreement. 9.5 Stakeholder Consultations Stakeholder consultations has been carried out in during the execution of scoping exercise also will be carried out during preparation of this ESIA Report and its associated Environmental and Social management Plan (ESMP) and relevant stakeholders will be given the opportunity to raise issues and their concerns regarding the project. All the raised issues /concerns will be taken into consideration during the project design and preparation of ESIA Report, ESMP. However, in order to properly address environmental and social issues, further stakeholder consultation will be necessary during the project implementation. The stakeholder consultations are aimed at providing a two-way communication or information exchange between the Contractor and the PAPs and the public. This is to ensure that information on the impact of the project is timely delivered by the Contractor and Project Proponent to the PAPs and the public. The Contractor shall disclose relevant content of the Project, potential environmental and social impacts and mitigation measures; GBV /SEA issues and EH&S issues. The following actions will be taken by the Contractor during construction phase: • During construction, the Contractor shall keep open communication with local government, and the surrounding local community members. • Before construction, the Contractor shall disseminate the project information to the PAPs and surrounding local community members and the public in general in the form of brochures written in both Kiswahili and English Languages. • Relevant project information to be published in the brochures shall include, but not be limited to: o Project Overview; o Construction Plan; o Main Construction Activities; o Main Environmental Problems and Mitigation Measures; and o Name and phone number of the Contractor’s Project Manager, the Consultant’s Resident Engineer and PIU Safeguard Officer. The Contractor shall regularly communicate with the Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist and Social/Gender Specialist on the main sensitive subjects and to mitigate any unfavorable environmental and social impacts. The Contractor shall provide training to the workers before commencement of construction works on Grievances Redress Mechanism, Contractor’s Code of Ethical Conduct and Code UDSM 115 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. of Conduct on EH&S and GBV/SEA, and thereafter regularly (monthly) throughout the project implementation period. Relevant information on Grievances Redress Mechanism, Ethical Code of Conduct, and Code of Conduct on GBV/SEA will be posted at strategic locations for easy access by construction workers in Kiswahili and English Languages. Complaint recording shall be placed at the Contractor’s Office, whereby all submitted complaints problems and other matters shall be included in the Monthly Progress Reports and submitted to the Resident Engineer and ESU for review and approval. 9.6 Institutional Capacity Building To ensure the sustainability of this project there is a need for institutional capacity building. The purpose of institutional capacity building is to ensure the sustainability of the benefits obtained after the construction of UDSM SoAF Kunduchi Campus infrastructure and effective implementation of the outlined enhancement / mitigation measures in the ESMP during operation phase. Therefore, institutional capacity building will involve: • Training of the EHSO and SGO on the environmental, social, gender, health and safety issues during construction phase; and environmental and social monitoring issues during operation phase. • Training of Contractor’s Staff and Construction Workers. 9.6.1 Training of ESU Staff and Technicians The objective of organizing training for Environmental and Social Unit (ESU) Staff is to strengthen environmental management during construction and operation phase, and to ensure the quality of environmental monitoring and effective environmental management, thus improving the quality of the construction works. At the end of the training the ESU Staff will be able to understand the main environmental and social issues during the construction and operation phase, and have a better understanding of existing problems and deficiencies on environmental management; and take necessary preventive and control measures as soon as possible. The training shall be conducted by Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist in collaboration with Social/Gender Specialist. In addition, the ESU’s Environmental Health and Safety Officer (EHSO) and Social/Gender Officer (SGO) will be involved on on-the job training by participating in the environmental and social monitoring during construction phase. They will be submitting their environmental and social monitoring reports for assessment by the Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist in collaboration with Social/Gender Specialist. 9.6.2 Training of Contractor’s Staff and Construction Workers Before commencement of construction works training will be organized for the responsible personnel and construction workers, in order to avoid environmental damages due to project implementation during construction. The training objective is to define the environmental protection responsibilities of the contractor; and for construction workers, the objective is to ensure the proper construction practice during the construction period in order to avoid some construction behaviours, which have adverse impacts on the environment. The training will be helpful for the project responsible personnel to understand their obligations in environmental protection needed to be assumed and possible consequences of the environmental damage. The construction workers will have a better understanding of the protection level and methods for environmental sensitive areas. Based on the actual situation of the Project, the training period for construction workers will not be more than one week. UDSM 116 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 9.7 Cost Estimates for Mitigation Measures The cost estimate for mitigation measures takes into consideration those costs to be incurred due to affected resources as a result of rehabilitation works/ activities and costs to be incurred as a result of the Contractor’s adherence to good engineering practice. Those costs resulting from implementation of mitigation measures for negative environmental and social impacts are considered as extra costs outside the Project Budget. However, the project will not be responsible for costs that arise out of normal responsibility of the project proponent or implementing agency. Therefore, for that reason, recurrent costs during operation and maintenance are excluded. The cost estimates for the implementation of ESMP mitigation measures are cost due to the implementation of specific mitigation measures. These include: • Tree Planting and Landscaping • Air Pollution Control • Abatement of Noise Nuisance • Solid and Liquid Waste Management • HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Programme • Prevention and Control of COVID-19 • Fencing of Construction Site to Prevent Risk of Accidents • Health and Safety Management Plan • GBV/SEA Awareness Programme • Provision of Water Supply and Shelters (Enhancement measure) • Traffic Management Plan In this regard, the following cost estimates for mitigation measures have been considered for protection of environmental and social resources; and as such for implementation of ESMP: S/n Particulars of Cost Items Amount (TZS) 1. Tree Planting and Landscaping 2,000,000.00 2. Air Pollution Control 2,000,000.00 3. Abatement of Noise Nuisance 2,000,000.00 4. Solid and Liquid Waste Management 7,000,000.00 5.

These costs will be included in the Bill of Quantities during the preparation of the Bidding Document. The cost estimates have been based on the Consultant’s experience on projects of similar nature. 9.8 ESMP Schedule The role of ESMP is to outline environmental requirements for the project and provide guidance for the Contractor to follow and properly manage environmental impacts during UDSM 117 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. construction. It specifies mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during construction and operation phases to eliminate any adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them or reduce them to acceptable levels. Specifically, ESMP schedule as shown in Table 9.8-1 summarizes all anticipated significant adverse environmental impacts and provides specific description of institutional arrangement for carrying out mitigation measures. In order to have effective ESMP there must be an integration of efforts among various institutions/stakeholders. This ESMP therefore specifies roles and responsibilities of various institutions/stakeholders during implementation. However, it is important that all responsible institutions /stakeholders should appreciate that they are united and should interact and work towards a common purpose.

CHAPTER TEN 10.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MONITORING PLAN 10.1 Implementation of Monitoring Plan The information collected during monitoring exercise helps to improve ESMP by adapting measures to ensure that the anticipated impacts are mitigated. For example, in case environmental monitoring identifies some environmental concerns during construction or operation phase then construction or operation works has to be modified or stopped, whenever necessary. Thus, the objectives of environmental monitoring programme are: • To ensure that mitigation and benefit enhancement measures have been adopted and are effective. • To identify any unforeseen negative impacts during EIA stage and propose appropriate mitigation measures. • To provide information on the actual nature and extent of key impacts and effectiveness of mitigation and benefit enhancement measures, which through feedback mechanism can improve the planning and execution of future, similar projects. The ESMP monitoring during construction phase will be comprised of two activities: • Review of Contractor’s plans, methods statement, and temporary works design and arrangements to ensure that environmental protection measures specified in the contract documents are adopted and Contractor’s proposals provide acceptable levels of impact control. • Systematic observation of all site activities and the Contractor’s offsite facilities, including borrow pits and quarry sites areas. To ensure that the contract requirements relating to environmental matters are being complied with and that mitigation measures for those unforeseen impacts are formulated and implemented by the contractor. The monitoring activities will be comprised of visual observation during site inspection and will be carried out at the same time as the engineering supervision activities. Site inspections will take place with emphasis on early identification of any environmental problems and the initiation of suitable remedial action. Where remedial actions have been required on the part of the Contractor, further checks will need to be made to ensure that these are actually being implemented to the agreed schedule and in the required form. All sites where construction is taking place will be formally inspected from an environmental view point on a regular basis. However, in addition to visual observation there shall be informal questioning of members of the local communities and their leaders who live near the project. This is because they may be aware of matters which are unsatisfactory but may not be readily apparent or recognized during normal site inspection visits. The monitoring plan will also be integrated with other construction supervision and carried out by the Resident Engineer. The Resident Engineer will decide on the appropriate course of action to be taken in cases where unsatisfactory reports are received from the field staff regarding environmental matters. In case of relatively minor matters, advice to the Contractor on the need for remedial action may suffice, but in all serious cases, the Resident Engineer will issue a formal instruction to the Contractor to take remedial action, depending on the extent of delegated powers. UDSM 124 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 10.2 Monitoring and Reporting Responsibilities 10.2.1 Supervision Consultant The Supervision Consultant will appoint an Environmental Specialist and Social /Gender Specialist who shall be responsible for Environmental and Social Compliance Monitoring. The Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist and Social / Gender Specialist shall be making a daily site inspection and shall be attending Engineer’s Site Meetings. The participation of Environmental Specialist and Social /Gender Specialist in the Engineer’s Site Meetings shall enable the Environmental Specialist and Social /Gender Specialist to: • Review the status of any problem addressed in the previous meeting; propose additional mitigation measures, if the problem has not been resolved. • Review the main construction activities and any environmental problem that occurred since the last meeting. • Review the construction activities and general environmental performance as listed in the ESMP. The Environmental Specialist and Social/Gender Specialist shall be preparing Monthly Environmental and Social Monitoring Reports which will highlight: • The extent to which the Contractor is complying with the environmental and social specifications and contract conditions (compliance monitoring). • Any unforeseen environmental and social impacts (i.e., the failure or inadequacy of the mitigation measures) and recommendations on how to manage unforeseen impacts. In addition, the Vice councillor of UDSM shall deploy an Environmental Officer and Social/Gender Officer who shall be collaborating with the Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist and Social /Gender Specialist to oversee implementation of ESMP. The Environmental Officer and Social/Gender Officer apart from making a close follow-up on engineering issues shall be responsible for environmental and social monitoring on monthly basis. There must be feedback from monitoring to ensure that failure to implement an approved measure incurs a penalty to the Contractor. The Resident Engineer’s responsibility will include enforcement of mitigation measures. In case an approved measure turns out to be ineffective or results into unforeseen adverse impacts it should be reported to the Vice councillor of UDSM through the Campus Manager, which would be capable of finding out why, and of commissioning appropriate further measures. 10.2.2 Contractor The Contractor will be responsible for implementation of environmental and social mitigation measures under the supervision of Resident Engineer. This is to ensure that technical and environmental clauses are followed and well implemented by the Contractor. The Contractor shall assign an Environmental Manager who shall be responsible for carrying out monitoring on daily basis and overseeing compliance with environmental and social mitigation measures. The Contractor’s Environmental Manager will be assisted by EHSO and Social/Gender Specialist. The Contractor’s Environmental Manager shall submit a Monthly Environmental, Social, Health, and Safety (ESH&S) Compliance report to the Resident Engineer specifying that: • All previously notified failures to comply with the mitigation measures have been rectified. UDSM 125 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. • All newly notified requirements have been fulfilled and all standard requirements (as specified in this report) have been put into effect. The Resident Engineer shall countersign the report and make it available to the UDSM and World Bank. UDSM in turn should pass a copy to Kinondoni Municipal Council within a reasonable period not exceeding 30 days from receipt. 10.3 Monitoring Methods The purpose of monitoring is to ensure that the Contractor implements the outlined mitigation measures in the ESMP. Therefore, monitoring methods will be based mainly on visual inspection and will be carried out by the Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist and Social/Gender Specialists in collaboration with Contractor’s Environmental Manager assisted by Environmental, Health and Safety Officer (EHSO) and Social/Gender Specialist on daily basis. To verify environmental effects predictions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures committed during the ESMP preparation, it is necessary to collect baseline data before the commencement of the construction works that may result in changes to the environment. The purpose of baseline data collection is to update the baseline information and establish the existing conditions at the construction site. Establishing baseline conditions allows for a comparison with conditions before and after construction works to determine the extent of any project-related environmental effects, the need for additional mitigation measures, and/or to confirm the effectiveness of mitigation measures that have been or are being implemented. In case any environmentally and socially sensitive issues have been identified during baseline monitoring and not covered during the ESMP preparation, adaptive measures and additional monitoring or mitigation will be developed and implemented as may be necessary. 10.4 Environmental and Social Monitoring Costs The cost of environmental and social monitoring will be included in the cost of Construction Supervision. The Supervision Consultant will be responsible for the cost of environmental and social monitoring. These costs include payment of professional fees for Environmental Specialist and Social/Gender Specialist. However, these costs will be included in the overall costs of commissioning the Supervision Consultant. 10.5 ESMP Monitoring Schedule The ESMP monitoring schedule as summarized in Table 10.5-1 addresses the following questions: • WHAT parameter to be monitored? (Monitoring Parameters) • WHY is the parameter being monitored? (Monitoring Objective) • WHAT indicator to be used in monitoring? (Monitoring Indicators) • WHERE to be monitored? (Monitoring Location). • HOW is to be monitored? (Monitoring Methods). • HOW frequent is to be monitored? (Monitoring Frequency) • WHAT is the monitoring targets or standards?

CHAPTER ELEVEN 11.0 RESOURCE EVALUATION OR COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS 11.1 Project Costs and Benefits 11.1.1 Project Costs The total construction cost of the proposed building is estimated to be Tanzania Shillings (TZS), 1,231,405,000.00. 11.1.2 Project Benefits The project is expected to have both short-term and long-term socio-economic benefits to the local community and the nation. 11.1.3 Short-term Benefits The short-term socio-economic benefits include creation of temporary employment and increased income generation opportunities to the local people. It is expected that during construction employment priority will be given to the local people. During construction some local people, especially women will get opportunity to increase their income by selling food items to the construction workers. This benefit will be enhanced by providing water supply and sanitary facilities to enable them sell their food in clean and hygienic environment, hence preventing transmission of hygiene related disseises like cholera and diarrhoea to the construction workers. 11.1.4 Long-term Benefits The long term socio-economic benefits include increased revenue due to increased students’ enrolment, and increased productivity due to operation of Lecture Theatres and Laboratory Facilities; and increased revenue for infrastructure / utility providers due to increased demand for power, water supply and telecommunication services. 11.2 Environmental Costs The cost of environmental mitigation measures, which is mentioned in section 10.9 is considered to be the environmental48 cost to be incurred due to implementation of mitigation measures for this project, which is estimated to be TZS 147,400,000.00. 11.3 Determination of Benefit/Cost Ratio The resource evaluation or cost benefits analysis focuses on comparing the project costs and environmental costs. The environmental costs for this project to be TZS 147,400,000.00, and the total project costs is estimated to be TZS 1,378,805,000, after including the environmental costs. When compared with total project costs (TZS 1,378,805,000), the overall environmental cost is about 10.69% of the total project costs. It can be concluded that the environmental costs are significantly small and can be tolerated for this project. The benefit/cost ratio is a good indicator of project viability from economic, environmental, and social point of view. However, due to lack of economic analysis the benefit/cost ratio cannot be determined for this project. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that there will not be any significant difference in Benefit/Cost Ratio before and after incorporating environmental costs, because the environmental costs have been found to be significantly small and do not have any significant effects on the project costs. Ultimately, the Benefit/Ratio is expected to be greater than 1, hence making the project to be economically viable, and therefore it should be implemented without delay. 48 The term “environmental� in this report also means “social� and “cultural�, unless otherwise specified. UDSM 134 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. CHAPTER TWELVE 12.0 DEMOBILIZATION PLAN 12.1 Implementation of Demobilization Plan The demobilization and site reclamation process are one of the required project management activities during the project completion or closure of the projects. The demobilization activities will involve removal of all mobilized items and cleaning up of the construction site. It will include the removal of all temporary safety signs, temporary fencing, construction debris including crushed stone aggregates, pieces of wood, construction stakes, and other construction� related refuse, and temporary facilities or works. The restoration of surfaces to an equal or better than existing condition shall also be included as part of demobilization. Site reclamation includes reclamation of areas disturbed during construction, other than access and staging areas, to pre�project conditions or better. In order to ensure that all demobilization and site reclamation works are done in a comprehensive way right from the beginning, it is important to have a demobilization checklist which shows all items that need to be completed during implementation of demobilization plan. Environmental and Social Demobilization Checklist groups the different items that need to be completed and inspected. The checklist covers the following issues and areas to be considered during implementation of demonization plan: • Workers Welfare Management • Camp Sites and Office Facilities; Solid Waste Management; Soil Erosion and • Sedimentation Control; Groundwater and Dewatering Contol. • Workshops/Garages,Vehicle Washing and Refuleing Areas. • Fuel and Chemical Storage Area • Sanitary and Wastewater Disposal Facilities. • Landscape Management and Run-off Control • Borrow pits/Quarry Sites Rehabilitation. The demobilization checklist will be used by Supervision Consultant’s Environmental Specialist. For each inspection item, the form has a column for the work completion status (Yes, No or Not Applicable), observation comments made by the inspector for non-compliance works that need to be rectified by the Contractor and the target completion date for completing the non-conformant works. The Environmental Inspector will be taking some photographs during the site inspection for recording purpose. The photographs will be attached to the Environmental Demobilization Checklist and submitted to the Resident Engineer for action. 12.2 Retrenchment of Employees Three (3) months before completion of the project, the Contractor through Human Resource Officer (HRO) will make sure NSSF contributions for all construction workers have been paid to the NSSF. This will involve posting of the names of all employees on the notice board indicating their Names, NSSF numbers and Monthly NSSF contributions. This is to ensure that the monthly NSSF deductions have been paid by the Contractor and allow rectification for any identified shortcomings before retrenchment of employees. 12.3 Exit Medical Examination for Employees The Contractor will carry out an exit medical examination for all employees before retrenchment. This is the requirements of Sub-section 24(2) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 5 of 2003. The legislation requires the Contractor shall carry out an exit medical examination through a qualified occupational health physician. According to Sub-section 24(3), the Contractor shall be responsible for the prescribed fee and all other medical expenses. UDSM 135 January 2024 ESIA Report UDSM SoAF-Kunduchi Campus. 12.4 Restoration of Utilities and Landscape During demobilization phase all work areas, offices, workshops /garages, and other temporary installations will be cleaned up and the site will be restored. These includes removal of temporary buildings, surplus materials, pieces of wood, pieces of bricks or any other material that is not in the area before construction works. Damaged trees will be chopped / lopped and crosscut and removed from the construction sites. The site will be cleared of equipment, solid wastes, debris, and overburden resulting from construction works. 12.5 Restoration of Workshops / Garages and Materials Storage Areas The workshop and other materials storage areas will be cleaned to remove petroleum products like oils and grease. The petroleum products should be handled in accordance with the provisions given in the Standard Specification for Road Works (2000). All blocks, cements, stockpiled gravels, and any other surplus materials will be removed from the Materials storage yard. The useable materials should be taken away and stored in a safe place far from the abandoned site. The spilled materials must be removed and the site must be properly cleaned and restored to its original state. If possible, the site must be prepared and planted with vegetation to the unpaved areas as approved by Engineer. 12.6 Restoration of Solid Wastes and Spoil Materials Dumping Sites All unwanted soil/spoil materials will be removed from temporary dumping sites and transported to permitted disposal site. The remaining useful soil materials will be mixed with surrounding topsoil, properly levelled, and graded to allow vegetation growth. The solid waste dump site will be cleared, levelled, and returned to a regular form. All non- toxic wastes in the dump site will be thoroughly covered with topsoil. The Contractor will ensure that no wastes are visible. The eliminated dry materials should form a stable slope and must be in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The wastes will be covered with 1 m of topsoil. The soils will be compacted thoroughly, the slope flattened and spread a layer of additional cover material and cover with topsoil to allow growth of natural vegetation. .

CHAPTER THIRTEEN 13.0 CONCLUSION The findings indicate the project is not located within environmentally sensitive area and has complied with the requirements of EMA Cap 191, whereby no development is permitted within a distance of 60 m from the shorelines. Again, the project is not likely to affect any important natural habitat or any unique, rare, threatened or endangered flora and fauna. However, the presence of marshland or wetland area needs to be taken into consideration. The marshland area provides an important ecosystem function as a natural waste treatment system if properly managed. Currently the wetland is being used for direct discharge of raw sewage wastewater from sanitary facilities, hence overloading the wetland ecosystem. It is therefore recommended that the wetland area should be protected by prohibiting discharge of raw sewage. All wastewater must be directed into the septic tank and soak pit treatment system before discharge into the wetland area. The treated wastewater must be periodically monitored to make sure it meets the prescribed standards49. The wetland area should be protected against sedimentation from surface run-off by planting grass on bare areas. All foot paths and car parking areas must be paved by using porous interlocking concrete blocks to minimize surface run-off. Although there is no any important natural habitat the removal of existing vegetation/trees will result into loss of intrinsic ecological functions and landscape quality. There are several ecological functions being provided by existing vegetation / trees. Apart from being important natural habitats for birds, insects, reptiles, etc., they help to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation of storm water drainages, control wind speed, provide shade, and refresh air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. It is therefore recommended that some of the trees should be retained by carefully selecting the location of lecture theatre and laboratory building. Trees and grass should be planted around the building to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation of storm water drainages. However, trees species to be planted must be carefully selected to avoid trees species which may damage building foundation. 4949 The Environmental Management Act (Cap. 191).
