The sub-project EHC-PR-WS-DHAM-002 is located in al Mahela area Alhamdi park wells Dhamar- city look at Table 3 The Targeted Wells The ESMP provides the key environmental and social baseline conditions within the sub-project’s areas of influence and the risk assessment of the key potential environmental and social impacts of the proposed sub-projects activities. Mitigation measures designed to manage the identified limited and localized and residual impacts have also been summarized to ensure their effective implementation. A summary of the stakeholder identification, analysis, and engagement process, as well as the institutional and management implementation arrangements, has been included to ensure the effective implementation of the proposed mitigation measures and monitoring plans. The risk level of this subproject is moderate which requires preparation of ESMP. It does not require the preparation of ESIA as detailed in the ESMF or RAP as detailed in the RF. However, site specific impacts that may be triggered are noise, dust emission, waste disposal and safety risks for workers and community including occupational health and safety. Minor localized short term noise from subproject rehabilitation is expected during implementation due to the use of heavy equipment. The project is expected to maximize the manual work which will minimize noise. The impact on air quality and noise is limited and they are seen as minor concerns. The corresponding mitigation measures for potential impacts are included in this ESMP and the environmental and social requirements for contractors will be included in the tender documents and contract. All environment, social, health and safety mitigation measures will be included in the contract. In addition, Bill of Quantities( BoQs) priced items for environmental and social safeguards including OHS will be included in the tender documents and contract. 6 Chapter 2. Sub-Project Description: 2.1 Description: The conflict in Yemen has significantly worsened the already low electricity access level with severe impacts on urban public services as well as commercial and industrial activities, which all rely heavily on a functioning power supply. Fuel is scarce and many electricity generation facilities have been damaged. The national grid has disintegrated into several subnational systems because transmission links were damaged or ceased operations due to the conflict. Consequently, public electricity supply has been completely shut down in large areas of the country, only an estimated ten percent of the population has access to reliable electricity. The impact on facilities dependent on reliable electricity has been devastating. Water pumping stations, water treatment stations, industry and commercial facilities have all had to cut back operations or find alternative power sources.

Environmental and Social Baseline Al-Mahweet governorate Shibam is a small city in Al-Mahweet governorate located 38 km West-Northwest of Sana’a. According to the 2004 census it had a population of 39,163 . There is no available recent data to provide an updated population figure where the last census was conducted in 2004. However, the projection of 2021 were 770,920 persons in Al Mahweet and 2,194,159 in Dhamar Govenorates. Al Mahwit Governorate is distinguished by the abundance of vegetation covering its surface, which remains evergreen throughout most seasons of the year. The vegetation includes many perennial trees such as acacia, sidr, salam, and dhaba, alongside numerous grasses, as well as small and annual plants, which flourish and thrive during rainy seasons. In all directorates of the governorate, there are numerous wild animals, among which the most notable are wolves, hyenas, tigers, harriers, monkeys, foxes, otters, spiny hedgehogs, and rabbits. These animals primarily inhabit the mountainous and uninhabited regions. Additionally, various bird species can be found, including hawks, owls, wild pigeons, partridges, eagles, and a variety of small birds with diverse shapes, colors, and names. The majority of these birds reside in the valleys, particularly those with aquatic habitats. No threatened species of faunal and flora in the subproject site.

Hydrology: The Amran Group limestone’s outcrop only to the north of the area near Hababah and form much of the catchment drained by the Shebam wadi, the Wadi ad Dabyani. Younger, Tawilah Sandstones overlay the Amran rocks and themselves form a major scarp which trends NW-SE and have considerable outcrop around Shebam town; locally, the sandstones are cut by lava dykes. Along the Wadi ad Dabyani east of Shebam, alluvium covers the Tawilah Sandstones. The Tawilah Sandstone is the regionally important aquifer and around Shebam, it is over 60m thick and appears to have good aquifer characteristics in terms of saturation thickness and permeability. It occurs in outcrop and beneath wadi alluvium, both situations which should allow effective aquifer recharge, directly from rainfall or indirectly via the mantling wadi alluvia. Depths of Ground water and distances from surface water areas between 80 to 175 meter The intervention will not have a role in increasing the water abstraction and will not decrease the surface and groundwater levels in the sub-project area. There are no surface water near the subproject area. 19 Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight in ShibÄ?m The solar day over the course of the year 2023. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray. The figure below presents a compact representation of the sun's elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon) and azimuth (its compass bearing) for every hour of every day in the reporting period. The horizontal axis is the day of the year and the vertical axis is the hour of the day. For a given day and hour of that day, the background color indicates the azimuth of the sun at that moment. The black isolines are contours of constant solar elevation. 20 Solar elevation and azimuth over the course of the year 2023. The black lines are lines of constant solar elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon, in degrees). The background color fills indicate the azimuth (the compass bearing) of the sun. The lightly tinted areas at the boundaries of the cardinal compass points indicate the implied intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest). Humidity We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night. The perceived humidity level in ShibÄ?m, as measured by the percentage of time in w hich the humidity comfort level is muggy, or worse, does not vary significantly over the course of the year, remaining a virtually constant 0% throughout September to March. The percentage of time spent at various humidity comfort levels, categorized by dew point.

Hydrology The average depth of the groundwater in the subproject area is 250meters and there is no surface water in the subproject area, and contractors responsible to return the ground level/ the runoff as the same level as before (before implementation of the subprojects), The sub-projects will include some civil work as mentioned above to install the PV solar mounting structures and the contractor is responsible for the ground leveling work after finishing these civil works. Economy Agriculture is the main economic activity in Dhamar governorate, which is the fifth largest agricultural producer in Yemen, accounting for 5.3% of total production. The most important crops are vegetables, cereals, and fodder. Dhamar is one of the main sources for construction stones and minerals in Yemen, and quarrying and mining of a scoria, zeolite, and agate make it a center of Yemen’s small and largely artisanal mining sector. The poverty rate in Dhamar was 31.1%. With the decline of economic conditions in Yemen, this number has likely increased. All sub-projects are in Dhamar city (urban region) and are easily accessible through asphalted roads. The areas targeted in the sub-projects are residential areas. The overall number of households in the targeted locations is 1693. The majority of families are working in the government sector, with some working in the private sector. in this area there are four health care facilities and seven educational facilities These are public general hospitals, health centers and schools. 24 Chapter 4.

The resident engineers will also be in continuous cooperation and coordination when needed. Moreover, various meetings can be held with the local authorities to cooperate and facilitate the implementation. In addition, at the end of the implementation, a meeting will be held with the beneficiaries and local authorities to prepare for the operation process and training beneficiaries on maintenance and operation to ensure the sustainability of projects. 33 5-8 Photos of Public Consultation Figure2 photo during the interview with Engineer Taha al- Hindi (Director General of the Local Water Corporation - Dhamar 34 Figure 7 A photo during the interview with Mrs. Donia Mohammed Hussein (Citizen) 35 5-9 Grievance Mechanism GM: Bank procedures require that Grievance Mechanisms (GMs) be established and operational prior to commencement of the sub-projects, and that they continue to operate for one year following completion of the works for third party settlement of disputes arising from resettlement. This GM should take into account the availability of judicial recourse as well as traditional and community dispute resolution mechanisms. UNOPS has established Grievance Redress Mechanism (GM) for Yemen Emergency Human Capital Project (YEHCP) to enable beneficiaries to communicate their concerns regarding the project activities. More specifically, the GRM details the procedures that communities and individuals, who believe they are adversely affected by the project or a specific sub-project, can use to submit their complaints, as well as the procedures used by UNOPS and its local partners to systematically register, track, investigate and promptly resolve complaints. Accordingly, hard copies of the translated application of the GM (which is attached as Annex 1) was provided to interviewed people and they have been informed that the GM contact information will be posted at the sub-project site to ensure any grievance can be addressed in an amicable manner. Resolving complaints at community level is always encouraged to address the problem that a person may have during implementation and/or operation phase. In any case, the project implementing partners must maintain records of grievances and complaints, including minutes of discussions, recommendations and resolutions made. 5-10 GM Procedures for Complaints: Registering Complaints: UNOPS is providing multiple access points to the UNOPS GM focal point for beneficiaries to voice their concerns. These access points will be advertised at sub-project level and put on the sign boards on each sub-project site, and include GM contact information including hotline, landline, mobile SMS, email and website: Address: Haddah Street, former European Union Office Building, Sana’a Tel: +967 1 504914 and +967 1 504915 SMS: +967 739888388 Email grm-yemen@unops.org Website: www.unops.org 36 The GM contact information will be posted in Arabic and be communicated through multiple channels to ensure all groups can easily access contact information and relevant mechanisms to provide feedback. Grievances can be brought up by affected people in case of: (i) non-fulfillment of contracts or agreements; (ii) disputes related to destruction of assets or livelihoods; (iii) disturbances caused by rehabilitation activities; (iv) concerns around safety and protection related to project’s activities. Anonymous complaints will be admissible to their attention verbally or in writing by sub-projects affected communities or individuals, and will relay these concerns in writing to UNOPS on a next day basis. UNOPS will determine if these concerns rise to the level of a complaint. UNOPS will register the complaint in a dedicated log by gender, age, and location, and include a copy of the complaint and supporting documents. A draft template for registering grievances is annexed. UNOPS will record and document complaints received in the sub-project file and the sub-project progress reports, including the number and type of complaints and the results of their resolution. Tracking, Investigating and Resolving Complaints The GM log maintained by UNOPS will track the date the complaint was received, date responded to, the type of response, and if the complaint was resolved to the satisfaction of the plaintiff. The Environmental and social safeguard officer( ESSO) will coordinate with local partners, local field staff and local government officials to ensure prompt follow up action in response to each complaint. More specifically, the GM focal point will address complaints : Inform the plaintiff if the complaint is accepted or rejected within 3 days from receiving the complaint; any technical input from project engineers; if necessary the response will require input from project engineers. If the complaint is accepted, send the plaintiff an officially stamped review card indicating: plaintiff name or legal representative plaintiff address complaint title review date list of annexes submitted with the complaint Work with engineers, local partners, and contractors to resolve the complaint within 28 days of its submission. Grievance Categories The grievance could be among but not limited to the following categories: â—? Access to project benefits (e.g., no or insufficient jobs created for local communities); 37 â—? Non-equal distribution of project services among target beneficiaries; â—? Disputes (e.g. matters raised by/related to beneficiaries. Disturbance (e.g. noise, traffic road access and public safety etc.). Steps to handle GM â—? Publicizing: stakeholder’s consultation, printed materials; â—? Receiving and registering complaints: staff at local and central level who will be responsible for receiving registering and tracking complaints; â—? Acknowledging: The GRM staff (team) acknowledges receipt of the complaint within 2-3 working days. Inform the complainant on the eligibility of his/her complaint; â—? Anonymous complaints: To be studied as well; â—? Reviewing and investigating, collect, review and analyze related documents; â—? Conducting interviews of the involved persons, officers and staff; â—? Analyzing the related national legislations & regulations, World Bank Policies & Guidelines and UNOPS standards; â—? Summarizing the facts and findings; â—? Developing resolution options: based on the collected evidence, the GRM staff (team) will draw conclusions, make recommendations for solutions, and present it to the complainant; â—? If the solution is not accepted, complaint will be presented to the Program Manager as a second level to appeal who can make the resolution and/or can delegate an arbitrator to investigate on the complaint and propose recommendations for resolution; â—? Implementing resolution: If the solution is accepted, then it will be implemented; â—? Monitoring and closing: the complaint should be monitored for a reasonable period to make sure that the complainant does not express additional concerns, and then complaint could be closed. â—? Reporting (recording): prepare concise summary reports of the complaints received, with the resolutions taken and status of resolutions implementation, and filled in the database with detailed record.

Monitoring Plan The Environmental and Social Monitoring Plan (Table 6) aims at ensuring effective and timely implementation of environmental and social mitigation measures. The monitoring plan include all sensitive environmental and social parameters; should be performed by well trained personnel; within a pre-defined timeline; and by utilizing available management resources and systems. The site supervision engineer, PMU resident engineer, and WSSLC site supervisors’ engineer must be at the site at all times. In addition, UNOPS/WASH Environmental and Social (ES) Consultant and PMU ES consultant visits the site during subproject implementation, if any environmental and social issues are identified, the visit should be carried out in bi weekly manner. The site resident engineer should report on the environmental and social aspects. Hence the subproject lifetime period is short, so the environmental and social status report is expected to be submitted at start, middle and the end of the subproject implementation time period. However, if there any topical issues resident engineer should report immediately to the UNOPS ES consultant and the PMU management. The environmental and social reports should be supported with photos and any other supportive documents and records. In case any environmental and social issues raised by the resident engineer, site monitoring visit should be conducted immediately by UNOPS/WASH ES safeguard consultant PMU ES engineer, the WSSLC engineer and contractor supervisions. Report should be submitted after monitoring is performed. In the event of non-compliance with environmental protection measures, a statement specifying the remedial period for contractor should be drawn up. UNOPS also will receive information via GRM communication channels, if there are any deviation on the activities and if any harm to environment and people occurs. So, actions will be taken according to process set for handling and resolving complaints. «Environmental protection» section will be included in regular progress reports prepared by technical supervision engineers. The section should contain compressed information and briefly describe monitoring activities as well as any arising issues and the ways to address them. The final responsibility for the implementation of the ESMP remains with the Project Implementation Unit (PMU), and supervision of UNOPS team mainly the ES safeguard consultant. The mentioned above measures should be to be transferred in proper documentation to the contractor from the PMU. 58 Table 6: Monitoring Plan Risks and monitored Measurements (incl. methods & equipment) and Frequency Implementation aspects indicators responsibility Community/Social- Health and Safety Public safety during the Method: Visual observation and photographic Continuous/Daily Contractor, LWSC , ESSO , rehabilitation work. documentation of safety measures. and UNOPS Visual observation for installing of warning signs, barricading of working area with safety tapes and fencing/barricades to prevent unauthorized access of public to the working site including workers entrance.
