Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
I. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
1. This Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an Additional Financing (AF)
on standard grant terms to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849, TSRSP, the Parent
Project) in the amount of SDR 7.5 million (equivalent to US$10 million) from the International
Development Association (IDA) Crisis Response Window (CRW), and US$4.53 million from the Papua New
Guinea and Pacific Islands Umbrella Facility (PPIUF). The proposed Additional Financing (AF) will support
the Government of Tonga (GoT) in responding to the impact of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai (HT-HH)
volcanic eruption and tsunami of January 15, 2022, and scale up investments to build resilience to climate
and disaster hazards of school infrastructure in Tonga.
2. The project will also require a Level II restructuring to: (i) revise the targets of the Results Framework
indicators for Component 1 to measure the enhanced development impact of the AF; and (ii) revise the
Financing Agreement to enable the relocation of schools and facilities impacted by the HT-HH disaster
from high hazard exposure levels to safer locations with reduced exposure to hazards, as under the Parent
Project, investment eligibility criteria stipulates there are no plans for relocating the facilities outside of
the existing site boundaries. However, the GoT has requested that the AF supports financing for two
schools that were significantly impacted by the HT-HH disaster, that will be relocated to areas of less risk,
and likely incorporated into existing school sites. Therefore, this restructuring will modify the Financing
Agreement and project description to allow for such relocations, with the applicable eligibility criteria to
be documented in the Project Operations Manual. The eligibility criteria will include, among others, that
for any schools which are relocated, their students must have adequate residential proximity to relocated
or other suitable facilities, or there must be an adequate provision of transport to ensure affected pupils
have reliable access to relocated or other suitable schools at all times.
3. Background. Tonga consists of 169 islands in the South Pacific with a total population of around
104,000. In recent years, Tonga has been hard-hit by several economic and natural shocks, which have
eroded its fiscal buffers and capacity to respond to further shocks. Tropical Cyclone Gita struck Tonga on
February 12, 2018 as a Category 4 Tropical Cyclone, and caused equivalent to around 38 percent of
Tonga’s gross domestic product (GDP). Tropical Cyclone Harold struck on April 9, 2020, resulting in
significant damages and losses totaling at least 12 percent of GDP. More recently, the January 15, 2022
HT-HH volcanic eruption and subsequent ashfall and tsunami waves had a devastating impact on the
country. The tsunami caused widespread damage to buildings, schools, roads, power and water supply
networks, tourism infrastructure, and agricultural crops, livestock, and fisheries resulting in post-disaster
recovery and reconstruction needs that significantly exceed the capacity of the GoT to respond.
4. The HT-HH disaster is estimated to have caused physical damages and economic losses of at least US$182
million (36.4 percent of GDP). Post-disaster recovery and reconstruction needs significantly exceed the
capacity of the GoT to respond, with the GoT’s preliminary Recovery and Resilience Building Plan
estimating that public sector needs are likely to be at least US$165.7 million (33.1 percent of GDP) from
FY22-FY25. The GoT has elected to draw on a range of financing streams to respond to the disaster,
including the full drawdown of US$8 million in Catastrophe Draw Down Option financing, and has
requested US$35 million from the CRW, to be delivered via Additional Financing for two ongoing
Page 7 of 38
The World Bank
Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
Investment Project Financing operations (including the TSRSP and the Pacific Resilience Project - PREP)
and Supplemental Financing for a Development Policy Operation. Though there is a Contingent
Emergency Response Component (CERC) in the Parent Project, the government elected not to trigger this
instrument, due to the availability of other instruments which would not result in modification or
reprioritization of the development objective and planned activities of the newly approved Parent Project.
The GoT is also utilizing over US$21 million in domestic resources, and has accessed over US$24 million in
support from other development partners. To help close the remaining unmet public financing gap, the
GoT has requested a US$10 million disbursement from the International Monetary Fund’s Rapid Credit
Facility, with further support from other development partners (particularly the Asian Development Bank,
Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union) expected to cover around US$44 million of the unmet
financing needs in FY23-FY25.
5. Parent Project Status. The Parent Project, TSRSP, financed by an IDA Grant (D927-TO) of SDR10.60 million
(US$15 million equivalent) was approved on December 9, 2021, and was declared effective on March 8,
2022. The Project Development Objectives (PDOs) are to: (i) enhance the safety and resilience of selected
education facilities; and (ii) improve the quality of data-driven education management, curricula and
assessments in the selected educational programs. The TSRSP has four components: (i) Improving Safety
and Resilience of Education Facilities; (ii) Establishment of an Education Management Information System
(“EMIS”) and improved quality of curricula and assessments; (iii) Contingent Emergency Response; and
(iv) Project Management. The Ministry of Education and Training (MET) is responsible for the overall
implementation of the project, and is the implementing agency for Components 1, 2 and 4. The Ministry
of Finance (MoF) is the implementing agency responsible for Component 3.
6. Early implementation activities have been negatively impacted by the HT-HH eruptions and tsunami, and
Tonga’s first COVID 19 outbreak. Despite these challenges, the Project Management Unit (PMU) has
completed the recruitments of the Project Manager, Project Engineer, Environmental and Social Officer,
Procurement Officer and the Finance Officer. Key progress under Component 1 includes preparation of
the Design and Supervision terms of reference, with bidding for this critical consultancy imminent. For
Component 2, bidding documents for the procurement of the EMIS and Terms of reference for the
curriculum and assessment consultants are well advanced. Dated legal Covenants that were due to be
completed within one month of effectiveness are on track to be delivered with a brief delay, due to the
impacts of the disaster event and government’s associated diverted resources as they have responded to
the immediate recovery needs. Though no results have been seen (nor were expected to be seen) thus
far due to the early stage of implementation, it is envisaged that targets will be met as agreed. US$1.33
million (9.1 percent) of the Parent Project funds have been disbursed. All Project ratings are currently
Satisfactory.
7. Rationale of Additional Financing. The impact of HT-HH eruption and tsunami, as well as Tropical Cyclone
Gita in 2018, have highlighted the vulnerability of school infrastructure in Tonga and the need to improve
the resilience of the building stock in Tonga to avoid similar impacts to education facilities in the
future. Twelve schools have been damaged or destroyed by the HT-HH disaster (particularly due to the
tsunami). All these schools are located on Tongatapu and Ha’apai and their damages range from minor
Page 8 of 38
The World Bank
Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
to total destruction. The GoT has requested support to repair or rebuild up to 12 of these school facilities
under the proposed AF.
8. The proposed AF will support the scale up of Component 1 activities of the Parent Project to enhance
its development impact through: (i) the climate and disaster resilient recovery of school facilities
impacted by the HT-HH eruption and tsunami; and (ii) resilient investments in the broader education
infrastructure portfolio to reduce disaster and climate vulnerabilities from future hazards and more
frequent adverse weather events.
9. Higher Level Objectives to which the Project Contributes. The proposed AF is aligned with the GoTs
Strategic Development Framework (TSDFII) and associated policies and plans for more inclusive and
sustainable: (i) infrastructure resilient to climate change and extreme events; and (ii) human development
with gender equality. The proposed AF is also aligned with the World Bank Group’s framework for
supporting green, resilient, and inclusive development (GRID) in IDA and IBRD countries, and supports the
three pillars of GRID: (i) Green Development, through sustainable infrastructure investments in education
facilities; (ii) Resilient Development, through support for risk identification, reduction and residual
management of risk, along with supporting vulnerable groups (children); and (iii) Inclusive Development,
through the boosting of human capital through gender and accessibility sensitive investments in water,
sanitation and hygiene (WASH). The proposed AF is consistent with the World Bank Group’s Pacific Islands
Regional Partnership Framework (FY17-FY23)1 covering nine Pacific Island countries: Kiribati, the Republic
of the Marshall Islands (RMI), Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Republic of Nauru, Republic of Palau,
Independent State of Samoa, Kingdom of Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. It is in line with Focus Area 3 of
the Regional Partnership Framework: Protecting incomes and livelihoods, through its contribution to the
achievement of Objective 3.1: Strengthened resilience to natural disasters and climate change. The
project also aims to ensure strong liaison with other development partners, thus avoiding duplication of
ongoing efforts and collaborating where possible.
II. DESCRIPTION OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING
10. The AF will scale up Component 1: Improving Safety and Resilience of Education Facilities activities. This
will require a corresponding scale up of Component 4: Project Management of the Parent Project. The
PDO will be amended to reflect the objectives of the Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC).
No changes are required to the results chain or indicator descriptions. The targets of the Results
Framework indicators for Component 1 will be revised upwards to measure the increased development
impact as a result of the AF.
11. Project Development Objective: The PDO will be revised to include the CERC related objective as follows:
(i) to enhance the safety and resilience of selected education facilities; (ii) to improve the quality of
data-driven education management, curricula and assessments in the selected educational
programs; and (iii) in case of an Eligible Crisis or Emergency, respond promptly and effectively to it.

12. Component 1. Improving Safety and Resilience of Education Facilities. The AF will support activities
under both subcomponents of the Parent Project.
13. Under the AF, Sub-Component 1.1: Resilient Infrastructure Investments will finance:
a. The carrying out of a program of civil works to repair, retrofit and or reconstruct Approved
Education Facilities2 damaged or destroyed by the January 15, 2022, tsunami; and (ii) for the
operations of the Approved Education Facilities including through, inter alia, the purchase and
distribution of teaching and learning materials, equipment and furniture.
b. The carrying out of a program of civil works to: (i) construct new Approved Education Facilities; (ii)
retrofit and strengthen existing Approved Education Facilities; and (iii) undertake minor repair and
maintenance works.
c. The carrying out, inter alia, of detailed building-level structural condition assessments,
geotechnical and other site investigations, feasibility design studies, investment planning, detailed
engineering designs (incorporating multi-hazard resilience measures as appropriate to site-specific
exposures), construction supervision and quality assurance, and monitoring of the contractors’
environmental and social management plans.
14. Under the AF, Sub-component 1.2: Strengthening Education Infrastructure Planning and Maintenance
will finance a scale up of technical assistance and support to implement the Operation and Maintenance
program and improved asset management practices in an increased number of schools.
15. Under the AF, Component 4: Project Management will finance the additional Project Management costs
associated with the scale up of activities under Component 1.
16. Results Framework. Table 1 set summarizes the indicators which will be amended, to reflect the
increased financing allocated to Component 1.

17. Implementation Arrangements. Since the approval of the parent project, the GoT has advised that the
Project Steering Committee (PSC) will now be chaired by MET, rather than MOF. The arrangements for
the PSC will be set out in the Project Operations Manual.
18. Financing. Section VII: Detailed Changes indicates the current and revised component costs as a result of
the proposed AF which are further broken down below in Table 2. The AF will result in the increase in the
costs of Component 1 and Component 4 from US$9 million to US$22.56 million and US$1.5 million to
US$2.5 million respectively.

19. Closing Date. The closing date will remain unchanged, on September 30, 2027
20. Climate Change. The Additional Financing will further reduce the vulnerability of school infrastructure
from the impact of increased climate change-induced frequent adverse weather events (including changes
in precipitation, increased flooding, more intense storm events and tropical cyclones). It will contribute
to climate resilience and adaptation through the construction and retrofitting of more resilient education
facilities. It will also provide support to GoT for climate and disaster resilient investment planning,
improved maintenance, and management of education infrastructure to help better withstand future
climate change exacerbated weather events. The scale up will also contribute to climate mitigation
through the use, where feasible, of contextually appropriate renewable energy sources, passive cooling
options, and energy efficiency for the construction and retrofitting of selected education facilities.
21. Gender. In line with the Parent Project design, the Additional Financing will respond to the specific gender
needs of beneficiaries under Component 1 by targeting gaps in gender, inclusive of WASH facilities.
22. Climate Co-Benefits. The Parent Project has been screened for short-and-long term climate and disaster
risks, and was assessed for its contribution to climate change adaptation and mitigation. The scale up of
Page 11 of 38
The World Bank
Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
Component 1 investments under the AF will further reduce disaster and climate vulnerabilities from more
frequent adverse weather events and contribute to climate resilience through adaptation and mitigation.
Additional climate co-benefits will therefore be generated under the AF.
23. Citizen Engagement. The activities, mechanisms for citizen engagement and beneficiary feedback
indicators related to Citizen engagement under the Parent Project remain unchanged and will continue to
apply under the AF.
III. KEY RISKS
24. As shown in Section VII: Detailed Changes, the overall risk to achieving the PDO will remain Moderate
and the ratings of each risk category in the Parent Project’s Systematic Operations Risk Rating Tool table
will remain unchanged. Institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability, fiduciary, and
“Other” risks (including COVID-19) continue to be rated Substantial due to ongoing international border
closures in Tonga and across the Pacific Region. The added risk factors since approval of the parent project
are the recent COVID-19 outbreak in Tonga, interruptions to global and regional supply chains and the
evolving risk of further price escalation due to the war in Ukraine. Mitigation measures proposed include
strengthening of the Project Management Unit, support from the Central Services Unit established under
the Ministry of Finance, and utilization of local contractors for works contracts, where feasible. The
remaining risk ratings are unchanged from the parent project. The details of the risks and the
corresponding risk management measures described in the PAD of the Parent Project continue to apply.
IV. APPRAISAL SUMMARY
A. Economic and Financial Analysis
25. The development impact of the AF can broadly be classified according to the first dividend of the World
Bank’s Triple Dividend of Resilience Framework, namely avoided losses and saving lives. Additionally, it
will support the improved operation, maintenance and investment planning for education facilities,
thereby strengthening the sustainability of project investments.
26. The proposed AF will extend the total number of educational facilities meeting standards of safety and
resilience to climatic disasters. As strengthened educational facilities last longer, and the number of
beneficiaries rise, the monetized value of benefits is expected to significantly rise and outpace projected
maintenance costs in the future.3 In addition, potential building damage is likely to be reduced in the
future and the beneficiaries of these school facilities are also likely to bear lower threats to their health
and life. Furthermore, more schools are expected to be safer and more resilient, implying lower disruption
to schooling for a larger number of students.
27. The updated cost-benefit analysis for Component 1-related interventions forecasts a positive Net Present
Value (NPV) of US$7.46 million, with an associated Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Benefit-to-Cost Ratio
of 11.6 percent, and 1.5, respectively. A sensitivity analysis scenario with a 10-percent increase in the
3Estimates made on a 25 and 50-year time horizon with a 6 percent discount rate, suggest that expected benefits exceed costs of interventions
(in present value).

Project’s costs and a 10-percent decrease in the Project’s forecasted benefits (i.e., pessimistic scenario)
stemming from climatic risks (earthquake, flood, etc.) which could be higher than those estimated under
the base scenario, and other unforeseen or unquantified negative externalities associated with the
proposed AF Project. As shown in Table 3, the proposed AF Project is economically sound and justifiable
under both the base and pessimistic case scenarios.

B. Technical
28. As per the Parent Project, the nine standard classroom and six cubicle WASH designs developed under
PREP will generally be used for new construction supported under the AF to minimize risks associated
with design, supervision, and construction of new buildings. These designs have been updated to: (i)
consider the local climate; (ii) provide improved ventilation and natural lighting; (iii) provide flexible and
improved learning environments; and (iv) enhanced seismic and cyclone resilient standards to reduce
disaster and climate vulnerabilities from more frequent adverse weather events and contribute to climate
resilience and adaptation. Sub-component 1.2 of the Parent Project will contribute to creating the
enabling environment for safer and more resilient schools in Tonga by empowering MET and the school
community to undertake maintenance work through enhanced systems, tools (guidelines/physical tools)
and capacity building. The AF will enable more schools and community members to be reached by the
maintenance pilot which will further strengthen the sustainability of the project investments.
C. Financial Management
29. A financial management (FM) assessment of the Parent Project had identified the principal FM risk to be
the risk of errors and misuse of funds due to the extensive use of spreadsheets to record and report
project transactions, as well as the limited FM experience of MET. To mitigate the FM risks, the PMU has
engaged a finance officer and will update the FM instructions in the Project Operations Manual to provide
step-by-step instructions for project FM functions. The MOF Central Services Unit (CSU) will provide close
support and training to the Finance Officer, particularly during the early stages of the project. An
accounting software package (approved by MoF) is expected to be used for all project reporting and
reconciliations, and to reduce the use of spreadsheets. MET, PMU, CSU, and MoF will meet regularly to
Page 13 of 38
The World Bank
Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
identify opportunities to integrate the project FM arrangements in the existing GoT systems and
processes, such for budgeting, contract management, asset management, and reporting. The current
Designated Account (DA) already opened in Fiji dollars in HFC Bank under the original financing of the
project will be converted from a ‘segregated’ DA into a ‘pooled’ one for receipts of IDA funds from both
the original financing and AF only. Such change in classification of DA type has no impact on the project
and is only for IDA’s disbursement purposes. However, a revised Authorized Signatory Letter covering
both original financing and AF will be required.
30. Project Disbursement and Fund Flow arrangement. There is no change in the Project Fund Flow and
Disbursement arrangement for the proposed AF. Following MOF requirement, the AF funds will flow to a
Project DA in local currency opened in National Reserve Bank of Tonga (NRBT) and then to Project
Operating Accounts opened in local currency at commercial bank acceptable to the association. The
Current DA which was already opened in TOP in NBRT for original grant will be converted from a
‘segregated’ DA into a ‘pooled’ one for receipts of IDA funds from both the original financing and AF, and
the PPIUF4 trust fund from the AF only. Such change in the classification of DA type has no impact on the
project and is only for IDA’s disbursement purposes. The ceiling of the pooled DA will be determined and
documented in the Disbursement Letter. The Project funds will be disbursed against eligible expenditures
as set out in the legal agreements. The following four disbursement methods are all available for the
proposed AF Project: (i) advance; (ii) reimbursement; (iii) direct payment; and (iv) special commitment.
Supporting documents required for Bank disbursement under different disbursement methods will be
documented in the Disbursement Letter issued by the World Bank, based on Statements of Expenditures,
Lists of Payments, and records evidencing eligible expenditures. The disbursement deadline for the
proposed AF will be four (04) months after the Project AF closing date. IDA funds for this additional
financing will finance 100 percent of goods, works, non-consulting services and consulting services,
Training and Workshops and Operating Costs for Components 1 and 4 of the Project, inclusive of tax.
PPIUF Grant for this additional financing will finance 100 percent of goods, works, non-consulting services,
and consulting services, Training and Workshops and Operating Costs for Component 1 of the Project,
inclusive of tax. The Project is jointly financed by IDA Grant and the PPIUF grant, given the earlier closing
date of the PPIUF grant, to the extent practical, priority needs to be given to disburse the proceeds from
the PPIUF grant, funds from IDA Grant D9270-TO shall be exhausted first before funds from this IDA grant
E065-TO utilized.
D. Procurement
31. As per the Parent Project, Procurement under the proposed AF will follow the procedures specified in the
World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers (November 2020). MET’s PMU will oversee all
procurement implementation related to the AF. MET has prepared a Project Procurement Strategy for
Development (PPSD) and the Procurement Plan (PP). The project’s largest investments will be in the
construction and retrofitting of school buildings. Tonga’s construction industry has structural limitations,
while foreign contractors are unlikely to be interested due to the high mobilization costs. To mitigate the
associated risks, the PMU will take a proactive approach to promote business opportunities and ensure
4 The Project will be co-financed by a recipient executed grant from the Papua New Guinea and Pacific Islands Umbrella Facility
(PPIUF) in the amount of US$4.53 million (PPIUF Grant No. TF0B8671). The full amount of co-financing has been signed. The
first tranche of US$3.2 million has been received and reflected in the PPIUF Grant Agreement. The remaining tranche is
scheduled to be received in August 2022 and will be reflected in the PPIUF Grant Agreement through issuing of an amendment.

that the civil works’ program is commensurable with the local contractors’ capacity. The PMU’s capacity
will be augmented by: (i) the employment of an Engineering Firm to design (including to prepare
procurement documents) and supervise civil works activities; and (ii) MOF’s CSU providing hands -on
implementation support. The procurement plan contains 20 different procurement activities estimated
at US$11.3 million and procurement of civil works represent the largest procurement category, with two
different activities amounting to US$6.6 million. The scope of civil works activities is yet to be defined as
the detailed assessment to be undertaken by an Engineering Firm will delineate the number of buildings
per school site.

.
F. Environmental and Social
32. The environmental and social risks for both the Parent Project and the Additional Financing are assessed
to be moderate. Environmental and social risk management will be the responsibility of the PMU,
supported by the CSU E&S Team. Risks and impacts are not likely to be significant, large or complex and
are expected to be predictable and temporary. Risks are expected to be site specific with low probability
of serious adverse effects to human health or the environment and easily mitigated in a predictable
manner.
33. The project investments will include capacity building and TA activities as well as physical works. Small-
scale civil works will be undertaken including renovation and construction of classrooms, WASH facilities,
teachers’ housing, and other facilities (such as halls, dormitories, laboratories, libraries, administration)
and the construction of ramps and pathways to improve the accessibility of school. An Environmental and
Social Management Plan (ESMP) was prepared to assess environmental and social risks for these works.
The ESMP was disclosed on the World Bank’s website on March 31, 2022. The CSU Safeguards Team will
work with the PMU Project Manager and PMU Environmental and Social officer to ensure that project
activities are screened and scoped according to the requirements of the ESMP and Environmental and
Social Commitment Plan (ESCP), which was updated for the AF and re-disclosed in country and on the
World Bank’s website on May 4, 2022.
34. Key risks include:
i. Occupational health and safety risks;
ii. Soil and water risk due to improper management of erosion and sediment controls;
iii. Risk associated with the management of hazardous materials;
iv. Resource efficiency risks associated with sourcing of materials;
v. Risk to air quality via construction dust;
vi. Noise impacts; and
vii. Construction waste management
Page 15 of 38
The World Bank
Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
35. The negative environmental impacts directly associated with construction activities will be minor and can
be readily mitigated via the implementation of mitigation measures outlined in the ESMP. Once specific
sites for works have been selected a site assessment checklist will be completed to assess site specific
impacts for the works. This site assessment checklist will also determine the need for contractors to
prepare a site-specific construction environmental and social management plan (CESMP) or
environmental and social code of practice (ESCOP) based on the works to be completed at each site and
the environmental and social risks identified. The CESMP or ESCOP will be prepared by the contractor and
will consolidate mitigation measures for the sites based on the specific works and construction
methodology. Operational risks associated with the school facilities include management of operational
waste and potential fire safety risk.
36. Downstream environmental impacts of Technical Assistance activities have also been considered and the
environmental risk for these activities is considered to be low. The school community-based operation
and maintenance capacity building program will require management of occupational and community
health and safety risk, waste management and hazardous materials management. These risks are
expected to be readily mitigated through the implementation of an ESCOP for the program which will be
developed in accordance with Environmental Health and Safety guidelines and good international industry
practice (GIIP).
37. The overall social impact of the project is expected be positive with improved access to education,
improved education systems and teaching standards, more resilient public sector buildings with potential
emergency/ evacuation centers and gender informed WASH facilities included in the outcomes.
38. The key social risks and impacts associated with the project are expected to include:
i. Community health and safety due to interactions with construction workers and construction
equipment;
ii. Exposure of workers and building occupants (including school aged children) to potentially
hazardous materials (such as disturbed asbestos) and dangerous activities (such as machinery)
before and during demolition and or construction/rehabilitation activities;
iii. Child safety and impact to the school community due to the proximity of workers to school
children and school staff;
iv. Impacts of construction impacts such as noise, dust or vibration impacts to the school
community and students due to the proximity of the buildings to construction works are to take
place;
v. Minor impacts to community or livelihoods due to restricted or temporarily reduced access to
sites and regular travel routes;
vi. Risks to vulnerable groups (poor, disabled, elderly, isolated or ethnic groups) and gender-based
violence as a result of construction activities and the movement of people;
vii. Gender Based Violence (GBV), Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment risks during
construction;
viii. The risk of COVID-19 to workers and the school community if community transmission becomes
apparent;
ix. Potential impacts to land, or access to land, during construction and operation of works as a
result of set down areas; and
Page 16 of 38
The World Bank
Additional Financing to the Tonga Safe and Resilient Schools Project (P178849)
x. Failure to provide adequate information and involvement in decision-making about the impacts
of the activities on students and families.
39. These impacts are considered temporary and minor and will be subject to standard accepted mitigation
measures to be implemented by the contractor. No major disruption to education services is expected,
with a staged construction program considering exam periods and students having only minor in-situ
relocation if at all.
40. The project’s management of social risks will be guided by the ESMP, which provides a high level
environmental and social impact assessment for the types of activities to be completed by the project,
provides mitigation measures relevant to these risks and includes a site specific environmental and social
site assessment template which must be completed during the design for each site. This approach was
also used on the PREP Tonga project and will allow for continuity in the risk management process between
projects and provide the opportunity to build on existing mechanisms and implement lessons learned.
41. Labor Management Procedures for PMU and contracted workers have been prepared to ensure proper
working conditions and management of worker relationships, Occupational Health and Safety
management, and to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment. A Project COVID
Safety Protocol would also be developed during project preparation to address COVID-19 Safety risk.
42. In addition, a project’s Stakeholder Engagement Plan has been prepared to ensure widespread
engagement with communities and its more vulnerable groups including the elderly, people with
underlying medical conditions, people with disabilities, and indigenous peoples, among others) - to
disseminate information related to the project. The SEP was disclosed on the World Bank’s website on
May 4, 2022.
V. WORLD BANK GRIEVANCE REDRESS
43. Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank supported
project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the World Bank’s
Grievance Redress Service. The Grievance Redress Service ensures that complaints received are promptly
reviewed in order to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may
submit their complaint to the World Bank’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm
occurred, or could occur, as a result of World Bank non-compliance with its policies and procedures.
Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's
attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to
submit complaints to the World Bank’s corporate Grievance Redress Service, please visit
http://www.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/products-and-services/grievance-redress-service. For
