EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. The Government of Tanzania (GoT) has requested the World Bank and other Development
Partners (DP) namely Department for International Development (DFID), World Food Program
(WFP), Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, United States Agency of International Development,
Embassy of Sweden and United Nation Agencies (UNDP, ILO and UNICEF) for their continued
support for Productive Social Safety Net program (PSSN) II. The implementing agency of the
proposed project is Tanzania Social Action Fund vested in the President’s Office.
2. The Second phase of Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN II) is developed following successful
implementation of TASAF I and II between years 2000 to 2012 respectively, and the implementation
of First phase of Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN I) program from 2012 to 2018. The
implementation of the Program will cover 187 Project Area Authorities (PAAs) with more than 10,000
Villages/Mtaa/Shehia.
3. The objective of PSSN II is to improve access to income-earning opportunities and social-
economic services for targeted households below the poverty line while enhancing and protecting the
human capital of their children. The program will be implemented through two components namely
(i) Productive Household Support (ii) Institutional Capacity and Integrated Delivery System.
4. Productive Household Support will provide participating households with an integrated package
of support including productive inclusion, public works and cash transfers. Cash Transfers will enable
Households to ensure a minimum level of consumption; build resilience against shocks; and invest in
their children’s health and education to break the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Transfers
will be largely conditional on education and/or health-related behaviors while labour-constrained
households including elderly, people with disability, child-headed households will receive direct
support. In addition, PW will create productive assets at community level and provide temporary
employment opportunities to participating households, providing additional income to smooth
consumption and mitigate shock during rainy season. Productive inclusion will consist of basic
livelihood support, awareness raising and strengthening linkages to extension services and enhanced
livelihood packages for selected households.
5. Institutional Capacity Strengthening and Integrated Delivery Systems ensure effective Program
implementation, capacity building of Program Implementers, strengthening of inter-sectoral
coordination and Program management support.
6. The proposed project will apply the new Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). The
project is classified as Moderate risk based on the activities’ type, location, sensitivity, scale, nature,
magnitude of potential risks and capacity of the implementing entity and commitment of the GoT. All
proposed project activities will be assessed to meet the requirements of relevant ESSs. Although the
existing safeguards instruments, including the Environmental and Social Management Framework
(ESMF) for PSSN I will be relevant for the proposed project, extensive updates have been done to
address environmental and social risks and impacts in accordance with ESS1 and the requirements of
the relevant Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs).. An Environmental and Social Commitment
Plan (ESCP) has been prepared, which set out measures and actions that the Program would institute
to meet ESSs requirements. To address environmental and social risks and impacts of subprojects the
vii
following ESSs will be applicable: (i) ESS1 on Assessment and Management of Environmental and
Social Risks and Impacts; (ii) ESS2 on Labor and Working Conditions; (iii) ESS3 on Resource
Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management; (iv) ESS4 on Community Health and Safety;
(v) ESS5 on Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land use and Involuntary Resettlement; (vi) ESS6 on
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Resources; (vii) ESS7 on
Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Underserved Traditional Local Communities; (viii) ESS8
on Cultural Heritage; and (ix) ESS10 on Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure.
7. Parallel to ESF the Project will apply relevant national laws on protection and conservation of
environment, natural resources, cultural heritage while ensuring safety and health of participants at
working place. For reference, the main legislations include Environmental Management Act (2004),
Village Land Act of (2002), Land Act of (2002) and Zanzibar Environment Management Act No 3
(2015) and Land Act No. 8, 9 and 10 of (1990). Sector legislations were also referred to for addressing
issues on specific sectors.
8. The implementation of the Project is designed to be environmentally and socially responsible
to avoid any undesirable adverse consequences of the given interventions and hence ensure the
achievement of improved standards of living of the poor. Most of the project impacts would be low to
moderate and localized due to the relatively small-scale nature.
9. The overall negative environmental and social impacts predicted under the Project include but
not limited to: erosion of lands downhill from road-bed or in borrow areas; slips and slumps; creation
of stagnant pools of water in borrow pits; generation of dust to nearby houses during subprojects
implementation activities; increased sediments into streams, ponds and rivers due to erosion from road
sides; and deterioration in water quality due to high silt load.
10. Implementation of PWP and Livelihood sub-component will involve manual labor provided by
Project participants. In this case, Labor Management Procedures (LMP) has been prepared as a
separate document to meet the objectives of ESS 2 and provide for a safe and healthy working
environment. The LMP provide for safety requirements, application of Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) and emergency/accident preparedness plan for working participant. The project will apply the
relevant requirements of the Environmental Health and Safety Guidelines (EHSG)
11. The Project is expected to be implemented nationwide, covering all 187 Project Area
Authorities (PAAs) with different cultural backgrounds and norms. The Project is seeking to conserve
and protect tangible and intangible cultural heritage of communities it serves, ensuring poverty
eradication activities do not interfere with efforts to practice and promote conservation of culture and
protect community heritage. The main objective of ESS8 (Cultural Heritage) is to ensure that cultural
values of communities are retained irrespective of how marginal these cultures may be. It is also
considered important that such heritage sites are conserved for present and future generations.
12. Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) has been developed as a standalone document in
accordance with the requirements of ESS10 to ensure all Project stakeholders are adequately engaged
in all stages of Project activities. The Stakeholders Engagement Plan provides for identification, means
viii
and methods applied to approach and engage each group into the Project activities and monitoring of
level of engagement through continuous consultation in entire project implementation period.
13. A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) has also been prepared to ensure all Project
stakeholders grievances are heard and addressed in accordance to laid procedure.
14. Capacity building. A major effort to build capacity is planned for PSSN II, particularly to
address capacity constraints at subnational levels. The training strategy will build on the experience
gained under PSSN I and the budget will be mainstreamed in subcomponents’ budgets.

DEFINITIONS
15. Environment: In the context of this document, “Environment” is understood as the whole set
of natural or biophysical and man-made or socio-cultural systems in which man and other organisms
live, work and interact.
16. Environmental Assessment (EA): The process of managing the environmental aspects of
policy, strategy, program or sub projects from the earliest stages of identifying the potential actions to
their completion and evaluations. The process encompasses identification of potential adverse
environmental impact, assessments of these impacts and comparison with impacts of alternative
approaches; design and implementation measures and plans to avoid, minimize, mitigate, or
compensate for adverse impacts; and development of associated management and monitoring
measures.
17. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): This is a process for orderly and systematic
examination/evaluation of a proposal including its alternatives, objectives and its effect on the
environment including the mitigation and management of those effects. The process extends from the
initial concept of the proposal through implementation to completion and, where appropriate,
decommissioning.
18. Environmental Review (ER): An environmental assessment instrument in which the subproject
is likely to have minimum impacts but should be reviewed with a simple and standardized checklist
of possible impacts and appropriate mitigation measures.
19. Environmental Screening (ES): The process of identifying, as early as possible, the potential
adverse environmental impacts of proposed sub projects assigning the environmental category
indicating the level of anticipated impact corresponding level of environmental assessment
required: and identifying the most relevant EA instrument needed to address the potential
impacts and environmental issues associated with sub projects.
20. Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA): This is a systematic identification, description
or initial examination of environmental and socio-economic impacts that are undertaken to obtain just
enough information to determine whether or not there will be significant adverse environmental
impacts as a result of the proposed project.
21. Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP): An instrument that details (a)
the measures to be taken during the implementation and operation of a project to eliminate or
offset adverse environmental impacts, or to reduce them to acceptable levels; and (b) the actions
needed to implement these measures.
22. Environmental Monitoring (EM): Is the continuous or periodic measuring and recording
of physical, social and economic variables associated with the project impacts.
23. Environmental Audit (EA): Means the systematic, documented, periodic and objective
evaluation of how well subprojects are performing in conserving or preserving the environment.
x
24. Scoping: The process for determining the extent of environmental impact of the project to be
undertaken. In the process extensive consultations with principle stakeholders is mandatory in order
to inform them about the proposed activities and solicit their views about it.
25. Environment Impact Statement (EIS): This is a report or document prepared by the proponent
after undertaking of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study to present the case for the
assessment of their proposal as part of the environmental impact assessment process.
26. Public: The public includes any individual or group of individuals, Stakeholders (Affected or
Interested Parties) and interest groups. These are people who are impacted by the proposed
development or undertaking either directly or indirectly. Interest group may include local and/or
international environmental organizations, professional societies, labor unions, local associations,
individual persons, etc.

CHAPTER ONE: BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Background
27. The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania has put in place important policies to
address poverty and vulnerability. The current Second Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP II) –
2016/17-2020/21 aims at economic transformation to enable Tanzania to become a middle-income
country by 2025 and provides an overarching framework for all poverty alleviation and growth-related
strategies in Tanzania. Social Protection is part of FYDP II’s larger agenda, which includes: reducing
poverty; addressing social and economic risks, deprivation and vulnerability; protecting human rights;
and improving capabilities and labor market outcomes.
28. In both the Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar, efforts have been undertaken to develop social
protection policies. The Zanzibar Social Protection Policy was published in 2015 and an
Implementation Plan developed in 2016. On the Mainland, a process is currently underway to
transform the National Social Security Policy of 2003 into a comprehensive National Social Protection
Policy. The new Social Protection Policy is expected to be framed around four pillars that will
henceforth underpin all social protection programs in Tanzania. These are: i) contributory social
protection, including pensions; ii) non-contributory social protection, including safety nets and cash
transfers; iii) demand side linkages with social services; and iv) productive inclusion and livelihoods
interventions.
1.2 Baseline Data
1.2.1 Geographical location
29. Tanzania is in Eastern Africa, located between 1OS to 12OS and 30OE to 40OE. It is constituted
by Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar with a total area of 945,087 sq. km comprised of land area of
883,749 sq. km (881,289 sq. km mainland) and 2,654 sq. km Zanzibar, plus 59,050 sq. km inland
water bodies. It shares borders with Kenya and Uganda in the North; Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic
Republic of Congo in the West; Zambia and Malawi in the South West and Mozambique in the South.
The eastern boundary is an 800 km coastal line fronting the Indian Ocean from Kenya in the north at
4°38’S to Mozambique in the South at 10°30’S. Some 40 km offshore are the islands of Zanzibar
(Unguja and Pemba) and Mafia (to the South), plus numerous smaller islands.
1.2.2 Major Geographical Features
30. There is a wide variety of physical features extending from a narrow coastal belt with sandy
beaches to an extensive plateau covered by savanna and bush vegetation with altitude ranging from
1000 to 2000 m. The plateau is fringed by narrow belts of forests highlands, including Mt. Meru and
Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895m), the highest mountain in Africa. Except for the coastal strip and lower parts
of the main rivers, the rest of the country lies above 300m altitude. The coastal plain is relatively
narrow, less than 20 km at Kenya boarder, and broadens gradually to 150 km around Dar es Salaam.
Tanzania mainland has several fresh water bodies, including Lake Victoria, the largest in Africa,
located on Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania boarder; Lake Tanganyika, the longest and deepest in Africa and
1
second deepest in the world after lake Baikal in Siberia, located on the boarder of Tanzania, Burundi,
Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo; and Lake Nyasa located on the boarder of Tanzania,
Malawi and Mozambique. The transboundary natural resources have necessitated Tanzania and its
neighbors to put in place protocols, agreements and mechanisms for the management, conservation,
sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits of these resources.
1.2.3 Economy
31. Tanzania has witness a strong economic growth in recent years. Currently, the annual average
economic growth stands at 7 percent in Tanzania mainland and 6.6 percent in Zanzibar. These statistics
transform it as one of the stronger performances in Sub-Sahara Africa. Despite the rapid increase in
population projection of 2.7% growth rate, the GDP growth is still translated to have substantial
increases in average per capital income from 510USD in 2007, 730 USD in 2011 and 979USD in 2016
across the United Republic of Tanzania1
32. Despite the above achievements, number of people living in poverty and extreme poverty
remain high. Approximately 4.3 million people continue to live in extreme poverty across the United
Republic of Tanzania (4.1 million on the Mainland and 0.2 million in Zanzibar), that is to say that they
have less than enough to purchase the minimum food basket. Despite the reduction in the extreme
poverty rate, due to population growth the absolute number of people living in extreme poverty did
not decline at all between 2007 and 2011/12. As for the number of people living in basic needs poverty,
on the Mainland the number declined slightly from 13.2 million to 11.9 million between 2007 -
2011/12, and in Zanzibar remained almost unchanged between 2009/10 and 2014/15 at 444,000.
1.2.4 Weather
Temperature
33. Temperature in Tanzania varies according to the geographical location, relief and altitude. In
the Coastal Regions and the off-shore Islands the average temperatures range between 27 °C and 29
°C, while in the Central, Northern and Western parts temperatures range between 20 °C and 30 °C and
higher between the months of December and March. In the Northeast and Southwest where there are
mountainous areas and Makonde Plateau, the temperature occasionally drops below 15 °C at night
during the months of June and July. In some parts (Southern Highlands) temperature can reach as low
as 0 °C - 6 °C. This temperature variation has significant impact on the agro-ecological zones and the
adaptation strategies in the agriculture sector.
Rainfall
34. The mean annual rainfall varies from 500 millimeters to 2,500 millimeters and above. The
average duration of the dry season is 5 to 6 months. Tanzania’s rainfall follows two regimes namely
unimodal and bimodal patterns, i.e. Northern coast and Zanzibar, North Eastern highlands and Lake
Victoria basin have two rainy seasons with long rains between March and May (MAM) and short
rains between October and December (OND). Also, the southern, central and western parts of the
1

2
country have a single rainfall season between November and April. However, recently, rainfall
pattern has become much unpredictable with some areas/zones receiving extremely minimum and
maximum rainfall per year. Figures 1.a and 1. b show the map of Tanzania indicating average
maximum and minimum rainfall from 1921 to 2005.

1.2.5 Population
35. Tanzania at present is estimated to have about 55 million people. According to census Report,
2012, at the current growth rate of 2.7 per cent, the population of Tanzania will double in next 26
years. This growth is not only making it as among the most populated in sub Saharan Africa but also
the momentum presents the opportunity for accelerating National development towards Development

1.3 Description of the Project
36. The implementation of PSSN I is coming to an end and the Government of Tanzania is
preparing the second phase (PSSN II) in order to advance the social protection agenda and consolidate
the effectiveness of Social safety nets in order to build human capital and help extreme poor household
move into sustainable livelihoods. The Project aims at protecting the poor from immediate effects of
poverty, helping them to meet consumption needs and prevent further irreversible losses in assets, and
enable poverty-stricken households to invest in their future and improve their livelihood.
37. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve access to income-earning
opportunities and social economic services for targeted households below the poverty line while
enhancing and protecting the human capital of their children.
38. The Program is expected to achieve this objective by implementing the following principles:
a) An increased focus on productive impacts
3
b) Continuing to strengthen community empowerment through participatory project
management and direct financing
c) Promoting transparency and accountability among stakeholders at all levels
d) Enhancing the capacities of implementers at all levels to provide effective implementation
management and to integrate sub projects within the context of decentralization
e) Aligning the center with peripheries so as to leverage the use of public resources in favor of
poor communities and disadvantages groups and;
f) The use of technology for effective delivery
39. Activities under the Project will be implemented through, two main components (i) Productive
Household Support; (ii) Institutional Capacity Strengthening and Integrated Delivery Systems. The
detailed description of each component is as follows:
1.3.1 Component 1: Productive Household Support:
40. This component will be delivered through integrated package of three sub-components namely,
Productive Inclusion (PI), Public Works and Cash Transfer (CT). The package will provide transfers
through conditional and unconditional transfers and public works. The impact of these transfers will
be enhanced through productive inclusion in the form of awareness-raising, coaching and training.
Productive Inclusion:
41. Productive inclusion wills support savings promotion; linkages to productive services, training,
mentoring and coaching will enhance the productive impacts of transfers. This support will consist of
behavioral change sessions and linking of program participants to existing savings groups, asset
transfer and productive services. It will further strengthen participant’s effort to use their transfers for
productive investments (evidenced in PSSN I). Basic livelihoods support to all PSSN participating
households with labor capacity will enhance the impacts of productive transfers. The enhanced
livelihoods package will be implemented on a pilot basis, starting with participating households in the
poorest PAAs. This will entail more intensive training and coaching, as well as a productive grant,
with a view to enabling most of them to sustain themselves out of poverty in the medium to longer
term without an ongoing need for social transfers. To underpin productive impacts of the program, a
household livelihoods support will be provided conditional on participation in savings groups. Only
in the case of households without labor capacity will condition be waived. Additional Productive
Transfer will be provided to households with labor capacity during transition to public works
conditional on participation in saving groups.
Public Works
42. Public works will provide participants who have labor capacity with temporary employment
through labor-intensive sub-projects that are identified by, and create assets for, the community and
contributing to household income. Some of the infrastructure created is expected to contribute to
addressing supply side constraints on the provision of key services in health and education.
4
Cash Transfer
43. Cash transfer will provide benefits to eligible participating households, including: i) Direct
Support to all households with no labor capacity; ii) Child Grant to all household with children 0-18
year; iii) Disability Grant to all households with Person With Disability (PWD); iv) Human
Development transfer to households with children, conditional on health and education behaviors.
44. Cash benefits to households under cash transfer and public works will provide the foundation
for productive impacts. Based on evidence from PSSN I and other similar programs in the region, it is
confidently expected that the combination within PSSN II of the Productive Inclusion, Cash Transfers
and Public Works will have substantial productive impacts by:
• building participating households' assets, incomes and resilience to shocks;
• enabling households to invest in existing productive activities
• stimulating a shift away from precarious casual labor towards more productive types of
economic activity (including, but not limited to, self-employment)
• stimulating the local economy, through local economic multiplier effects resulting from the
injection of cash
Type of anticipated subprojects to be funded
45. PSSN II will support sub-projects related to small scale Public Works Program incorporating
targeted infrastructure and productive inclusion. The types of the subproject to be supported will be
identified by the communities after undergoing a participatory planning process. The possible types
of PWP subprojects include but not limited to:
i. Community Ponds and Water and environmental conservation
Subproject types: Earth ponds, hand-dug wells, pans and ponds.
ii. Hand Dug Well
Subproject types: Hand-dug wells, shallow wells.
iii. Spring Protection, Soil and water conservation
Subproject types: bench terraces, gully reshaping, filling and re-vegetation
iv. Soil Bunds
Subproject types: Level soil bunds, level fanya juu, stone bunds,
v. Woodlots, Agro forestry & Multi-purpose tree nursery
Subprojects types: Seed collection from woodlots, homesteads areas and forests, tree/shrub
seedlings and grass nurseries, Restoration of degraded land/area, Gully reshaping, filling and
revegetation, Eyebrow basins, herring bones, improved pits, micro basins, micro trenches, water
collection trenches
vi. Community Access Roads
Subprojects types: New access (road) construction, foot bridges and culverts, Gravel/Earth road
vii. Small Scale Irrigation
Subprojects type: Catch/cut-off drain, Micro ponds, river bed/permeable rock dams, small scale
drip irrigation, small scale surface irrigation, and hand dug wells
5
46. The brief description on the nature and estimated cost for major types of subprojects to be
implemented under PW is shown as Annex 1
1.3.2 Component 2: Institutional strengthening and integrated delivery systems
47. This component will ensure effective program implementation, and that lessons learned are
used to further strengthen Program impacts over time. This component will reinforce implementation
capacities and program systems at national and decentralized levels.
48. The component will be responsible for: preparation of an exit and graduation strategy;
recertification of participants to ensure that the program continues to reach the poorest households;
moving from the existing participant registry to a social registry serving all sectors to promote a
harmonized approach to service delivery. Further, the component will strengthen grievance redress
and other social accountability mechanisms to ensure the program is accountable to the citizens served
and will continue investment in robust impact evaluation and process reviews for learning and
accountability; and shifting from cash-based to electronic payments.
49. The Program will apply the new Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). Although
the existing safeguards instruments, including the Environmental and Social Management Framework
(ESMF) for phase I will be relevant for the proposed project, extensive update has been done to address
new requirements of the relevant Environmental and Social standards. Overall, the project is expected
to involve Moderate Risk activities based on type location sensitivity, scale, nature, magnitude of
potential risks and capacity and commitment of the implementing entity. According to the
Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) risk classification assigned to the project will be reviewed
on a regular basis, during implementation and will change where necessary to ensure it continues to
be appropriate.
50. Activities/investments envisaged under PWP are small and labour intensive. The main types
include; soil and water conservation, community access roads, woodlots, rain water harvesting
entailing construction of community ponds, spring protection, hand dug wells; soil and water
conservation that includes construction of soil bunds, sea water control bunds, gullies protection and
flood control structures.
51. These interventions may have environmental implications on the biological and physical
environmental during implementation and operation phases. These activities aim at conserving the
environment, however and they will be screened to identify any potential environmental and social
impacts. Based on the perceived level of impacts as indicated from the environmental and social
screening stage, appropriate safeguards instrument namely Environmental and Social Management
Plans (ESMPs) will be prepared to mitigate potential negative impacts.
6
52. All proposed project activities will be assessed to meet the requirements of relevant
Environmental and Social standards (ESSs). Therefore, issues regarding community workers, health
and safety, application of general Environmental Health and Safety Guidelines (EHSG) and labor
management procedures will be addressed accordingly. An Environmental and Social Commitment
Plan (ESCP) has been prepared, which set out measures and actions required to meet ESSs.
Project coverage
53. The project has been rolled out country wide and covered 161 Project Area Authorities (PAAs).
However, 30 % of the villages were not covered in PSSN I. Thus, targeting and enrolment in these
villages will be done prior to PSSN II project implementation. In PSSN II the program will cover 187
PAAs.
7
CHAPTER 2: ASSESMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
AND SOCIAL RISKS AND IMPACTS
2.1 Introduction
54. In order to minimize the environmental and social impacts associated with implementation of
the project activities, environmental and social assessment is required. Given that the exact locations
of proposed subprojects are not known at appraisal, an Environmental and Social Management
Framework (ESMF) has been prepared to guide the assessment of environmental and social risks and
management of the potential impacts during project implementation. .
55. The Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) encompasses Environmental and Social
Standard (ESSI) which sets out the responsibilities to assess, manage and monitor environmental and
social risks and impact during each stage of the Project.
56. Objectives of Environmental and in Social Standards (ESSI).
I. To identify, evaluate and manage the environmental and social risks and impact of the
program in a manner consistent with the ESSs;
• To adopt the mitigation hierarchy approach
• Anticipate and avoid risks and impacts
• where avoidance is not feasible minimize or reduce risk and impact to
acceptable levels
• once risk and impact has been minimized or reduced, mitigate and
• where significant residual impact remains compensate for or offset them where
technically and financially feasible
(i) To adopt differentiated measures so that adverse impacts do not fall
disproportionately on disadvantage of vulnerable, and they are not disadvantaged
in sharing development benefits and opportunities resulting from the Project.
(ii) To utilize national environmental and social institutions, systems, law, regulations
and procedures in the assessment, development and implementation of projects,
whenever appropriate.
(iii) To promote improved environmental and social performance, in ways which
recognize and enhance GoT capacity.
57. ESMF will be disclosed in country and at the website of the World Bank so that the document
is accessible to the general public, local communities, potential project-affected groups, local NGO’s
and all other stakeholders. It is also required to undertake consultation of those groups to get their
views on the adequacy of the ESMF.
Stakeholders Consultation during the preparation of PSSN II
58. Stakeholders Consultation has been a key element during the preparation of Safeguards
instruments for PSSN II. Consultation was done to ensure effective participation of all stakeholders
throughout the Program implementation period. It also enhances the dynamic process that involve
different stakeholders across all levels from the national down to the community levels, to have their
view contribute to, hence influence the meaningful decisions making process on the Program
8
implementation for best outcome. During the PSSN II preparation the following stakeholders were
consulted as follows;
59. The communities: Consultation was done at community level to beneficiaries and general
public, which mainly aimed at; 1) to collect information on the Program that would be taken as key
lesson learnt through the implementation of PSSN I, and with those 2) inform the design of PSSN II.
The PSSN II Project Preparation Team (PPT) made a site visits to selected PAAs to collect stakeholder
views on proposed design elements for the new Program phase. Among the components discussed
during the consultation meetings, environmental and social safeguards were one of area identified for
feedback as well as input into PSSN design. During consultation meetings it was reiterated that
safeguards tools should be simplified for ease of documentation procedures, the option which has been
observed through the application of ESF and its standards.
60. At the community level consultation were held through public meetings which was organized
by Village Councils and attended by all stakeholders in the areas. Annex 16 provides the details of
Stakeholder consultation.
61. Ministries and Government Institutions: Consultation was done to Ministries under the
Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar and various
institutions. The ministries consulted include the Ministry of Land, Housing and Human Settlement
Development, Presidents’ Office Regional Administration and Local Government, while institutions
consulted include the National Environment Management Council (NEMC), Zanzibar Environment
Management Authority (ZEMA) and Division of Environment Vice Presidents’ Office. The
consultation with Ministries and governmental institutions was done in a specific consultative meeting
convened to collect inputs on environmental and social safeguard for PSSN II design.
62. Vulnerable Groups: On consultation to vulnerable groups (previously known as
Disadvantaged Communities) specific site visits was done to four of seven PAAs with such
communities, namely Kiteto, Hanang, Mbulu and Karatu. The consultation on VG communities was
conducted in a special method whereby beneficiaries, general community and NGOs/CBOs operating
in those areas were consulted in village meetings, focus group discussions and individual interviews.
The objective was to gather opinion on PSSN I implementation and recommendations for
environmental and social safeguards to serve as inputs to ensure adequate inclusion of vulnerable
groups into PSSN II activities. During the consultation process, it was found that ESF through ESS 7
is adequately address issues of their interest, including among other being included into the decision-
making organs of the communities they live in or have a collective benefit thereof.
63. During implementation of PSSN I, a number of environmental and social safeguards tools were
developed to enable adequate implementation of the project and assist manage adverse environmental
and social impacts emanated from Program activities. Screening of subprojects was conducted during
micro planning to identify possible adverse impacts and to propose ways to mitigate them. An
Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) was prepared to mitigate potential impacts
indicating distribution of responsibilities, timeframe and resources required. An Environmental and
Social Monitoring Plan was prepared to guide monitoring effectiveness of mitigation measures.
9
Additionally, PWP Handbook provided guidance on adherence to Safeguards requirements during
subproject implementation.
64. As stated above, the purpose of ESMF is to provide guiding principles for assessment and
management of environmental and social aspects of all physical works targeted under PSSN II. It will
help to systematically identify, predict and evaluate beneficial and adverse environmental and social
impacts of subprojects to be financed under the project.
2.1 Objectives of the ESMF
65. The main objective of ESMF is to provide guidelines and procedure to deal with environmental
and social risks and impacts associated with the implementation of this Program to meet the
requirements of the relevant E & S standards. It is also intended to serve as a mechanism to determine
and assess potential environmental and social risks and impacts of all activities financed under the
Program and then to set out mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during
implementation and operation of the program activities to eliminate adverse environmental and social
impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels.
66. The specific objectives are as follows:
• Review the institutional, policy, legal and political framework for environmental and
social management of the Program.
• Outline the process for environmental and social management procedures in: 1) ensuring
environmental and social sustainability of Program interventions; and 2) meeting World
Bank and Tanzanian requirements for environmental and social management;
• Based on the experiences gained in PSSN I, assess the potential environmental and social
impacts of the Program, whether positive or negative, and ensure mitigation measures are
incorporated into subprojects to avoid, minimize or mitigate these potential impacts;
• Establish mechanism for handling grievances related to environmental and social issues
during program implementation. Provide guideline on consultation of stakeholders for a
meaningful result of project objective.
• Serve as a tool for project implementers at the National, PAAs, Ward,
/Village/Mtaa/Shehia level to identify and mitigate potential environmental and social
impacts during sub-project planning implementation as well as operation maintenance.
2.2 Potential Users of this ESMF
67. This ESMF has been prepared as a reference manual for use by key stakeholders to be involved
in the implementation of the Program activities. As a reference material, the ESMF will be useful to
the following Program key stakeholders: The Second Vice President’s Office, Zanzibar, TASAF
Management Unit (TMU), Development Partners (DPs), line Ministries, Non-Governmental
Organizations, PAAs, Community Based Organizations and Communities in general.
10
2.3 Institutional Arrangements
68. The Program will continue to be implemented through government structures and will promote
inter-ministerial co-ordination at national and PAA levels, thereby contributing to the building of a
sustainable social protection system.
National Level
69. At the National level, TASAF is under President Office, with the overall oversight vested with
the National Steering Committee (NSC). Moreover, a Sector Expert Team (SET) for Mainland and
Zanzibar ensures that designs conform to different technical sector norms and standards. Subprojects
applications will be reviewed by SET on sample basis to identify challenges in design process and
provide the technical support required to improve designs. In Zanzibar, the PSSN is coordinated by
the Office of the Second Vice President (2nd VPO). There is a Focal Person in this office to oversee
all PSSN activities, as well as Coordinators and Steering and Management Committees for Pemba and
Unguja.
Regional Level
70. At the regional level, Regional Administrative Secretary (RAS) will appoint a focal person to
provide technical backstopping on implementation of the program activities, review and compile
quarterly implementation reports from PAAs.
PAA level
71. The program will be managed by the PAA Director, who signs a Memorandum of
Understanding with TASAF, articulating roles and responsibilities. The PAA Director appoints a
PSSN Coordinators to oversee Program activities and an Accountant to handle financial matters,
including the consolidation of public works payrolls. TMU will allocate a Monitoring Officer to
provide technical support to one or two PAAs.
Ward Level.
72. At Ward level, extension staff will lead the sensitization process, training and participatory
planning with oversight support from PAAs. Specialized sensitization and training will cover area like
subproject identification, micro-planning safeguard issues and management of subprojects at
community level. With this institutional framework it is imperative that capacity building and training
is required especially at the ward and PAA/Zanzibar level to ensure sufficient implementation of this
ESMF in line with existing country legislation and procedures and in compliance with the World Bank
ESF.
Village/Mtaa/ Shehia
73. The Village Council/Mtaa Committee/Shehia Advisory Council will continue to be the overseer
of PSSN II at the village/Shehia level. They will mobilize resources and ensure effective delivery of
11
the project, and security and sustainability of the assets and facilities created. In addition, the Village
Council/Shehia Advisory Council will facilitate and monitor the performance of CMCs. The CMCs
are democratically elected from community members and beneficiaries and will be responsible for
facilitating effective delivery of the project interventions. Given their important roles, capacity of
Community Management Committee will be enhanced.
12
CHAPTER 3: OVERVIEW OF POLICIES, LEGISLATION AND
INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
3.1 Introduction
74. Tanzanian basic environmental law is the Environmental Management Act of 2004 and
Zanzibar Environmental Management Act, 2015. They are both supported by the Constitution of the
United Republic of Tanzania and other sectoral and cross-sectoral laws and common law.
75. In some incidences Tanzanian environmental laws have been categorized into first, land use
laws; second, natural resources and conservation areas laws; third, pollution-related laws; and, fourth,
overall environmental management law. With this categorization, sometimes it may not be easy to
differentiate one category from the other due to their inter-linkage. For this convolution, it is felt that
presentation of laws will be relative to the wide cross-sectoral and sectoral approach as represented by
the National Environmental Policy, 1997. The policy covers sectors that include land and human
settlements; forestry; water and sanitation; health; transport; energy; industry; wetlands; agriculture;
livestock; fisheries; wildlife; tourism; and mining. The National Environmental Policy, 1997 has
relative policy statements to other sectoral and cross-sectoral policies upon which the Tanzanian
environmental laws are premised. The following policies and laws are applied.
3.2 Environmental Policies
76. The National Environment Policy for mainland (NEP 1997) and Environmental Policy for
Zanzibar (2013) are the main policy documents addressing environmental management issues in
Tanzania. They identify sustainable development as a key issue in the National Environment
Management Policy in the country. The policies state government’s commitment to sustainable
development on the short, medium and long-term development basis. It requires the Tanzanian people
to manage their environment and natural resources in a sustainable manner to enhance the potential
for growth and opportunity for sustainable development of present and future generation.
3.3 Other sectoral policies
Other sectoral policies applicable in mainland and Zanzibar include;
(a) Sectoral policies Tanzania mainland:
3.3.1 National Land Policy (1995)
77. The Policy advocates equitable distribution and access to land by all citizens. It aims at ensuring
that existing rights in land especially customary rights of small holders (i.e. peasants and herdsmen
who form the majority of the country’s population) are recognized, clarified, and secured by law.
Under the policy framework, land is to be put to its most productive use to promote rapid social and
economic development of the country among other objectives. This implies that land that provides
livelihood to Disadvantaged Communities is to be protected and made available for their use.
13
3.3.2 Agriculture and Livestock Policy (1997)
78. The overall aim of the Policy is to promote and ensure a secure land tenure system to encourage
optimal use of land resources and facilitate broad-based social and economic development without
upsetting or endangering the ecological balance of the environment. The land use plan in the Program
will be observed to protect the rights of hunters-gatherers, livestock keepers, and specific uses on
Disadvantaged Communities.
3.3.3 National Forestry Policy, 1998
79. This policy reiterates the sustainable use of natural resources from forests and ensuring
equitable use. The policy requires protection and prevention of anthropogenic activities that may result
into depletion of resource.
3.3.4 National Human Settlement Policy (2000)
80. There are fourteen (14) main objectives but for the purpose of this Program the following five
(5) shall be emphasized because they have direct or indirect impacts to the Program.
• To make serviced land available for shelter and human settlement development in
general to all sections of the community including women, youth, the elderly, disabled
and vulnerable communities
• To improve the level of provision of infrastructure and social services for sustainable
human settlement development;
• To facilitate creation of employment opportunities and eradication of poverty;
• To protect the environment of human settlements and of ecosystems from pollution,
degradation and destruction in order to attain sustainable development; and
• To encourage development of housing areas that is functional, healthy, aesthetically
pleasant and environmentally friendly.

3.3.5 Environmental Legislation:
81. Two environmental legislations are in place namely Environmental Management Act (EMA)
2004 for mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar Environmental Management Act No 3 of 2015.
82. Both Acts provide practical guidelines useful to decision makers and authorities involved in any
field of activity or projects with a link to environmental issues. The laws call for an integration of
environmental concerns into the socio- economic development plans and require that EIA be carried
out prior to project implementation. Both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar has comprehensive set of
regulations governing EIA process.
83. Other Legislations for Tanzania Mainland and for Zanzibar are as follows:
a. Legislations (Mainland)
Land Act, Cap 113 R.E. 2002; Land (Conditions of Rights of Occupancy) Regulations,
2001
Village Land Act, Cap 114 R.E. 2002; Village Land Regulations, 2001

(ix) Local Government Act No 7 of 2014
(x) Water Act No. 4 of 2006
3.4 World Bank Environmental and Social Framework
84. On environmental and social safeguards, the PSSN II implementation will be guided by WB
Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). Under the ESF, the Program will adhere to requirements
of Environmental and Social Standards (ESS), with emphasis to the following ESS that have been
identified to be relevant to the Program activities: ESS1 on Assessment and Management of
Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts; (ii) ESS2 on Labor and Working Conditions; (iii) ESS3
on Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management; (iv) ESS4 on Community Health
and Safety; (v) ESS5 on Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land use and Involuntary Resettlement;
15
(vi) ESS6 on Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Resources; (vii) ESS7
on Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Underserved Traditional Local Communities; (viii) ESS8
on Cultural Heritage; and (ix) ESS10 on Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure.
85. The main objectives of Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) are:
i. To inform decision makers of the nature of environmental and social risk
ii. to ensure that Bank-financed projects are environmentally sound and sustainable, and
that decision-making is improved through appropriate analysis of actions and of their
likely environmental impacts.
iii. To increase transparency and provide mechanism for participation of stakeholders in
decision making process for the project.
86. The application of ESS5 on Land Acquisition, Restriction on Land Use and Involuntary
Resettlement and ESS 7 ion Sub-Saharan Historically Underserved Traditional Local Communities
have been elaborated in separate instruments.
87. The implementation of ESSs will be enabled through number of tools which have been
developed along with respective ESS. Environmental and Social Screening and Monitoring form;
Stakeholders Engagement forms; Land Ownership and Acquisition forms; Disadvantaged
communities Screening and Monitoring forms; Environmental and Social Management Plans and PW
Handbook are among tools which have been already developed to enable implement ESSs. The
developed tools and those to be developed in the course of Project implementation are clearly indicated
on Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP).
88. The matrix below summarizes Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs) that will be
emphasized during PSSN II implementation.

89. In accordance with the Tanzania Environment Impact Assessment and Audit Regulation of
2005 on sub-projects to be funded under the Project will fall under category B, Thus, the most
appropriate instruments to be used for environmental assessment is Preliminary Environmental
Assessment (PEA). Under the ESF, impacts from the proposed project activities are rated moderate.
This means that the environmental and social impacts of the sub-projects are expected to be minimal,
site specific and manageable to an accepted level.
17
3.5 Environmental Institutional Arrangements:
90. The presence of institutional and legal framework is a pre-requisite for effective implementation
of Environment Policy objectives at all levels (National, Sectoral, PAAs, and Village/Shehia/Mtaa
levels) and for effective environmental management in the country.
91. According to EMA, various Environmental Management Committees need to be established at
Kitongoji, Village/Mtaa/Shehia, Ward, LGA and at National level with the responsibility for the
proper management of the environment in respect of the area in which they are established. The
functions and responsibility of these committees are well explained in the Act. Section 36 (1), (2)
stipulates that each City, Municipal, District and Town councils shall designate or appoint an
Environmental Management Officer (EMO) who shall perform among the following functions:
i) Advice the environmental management committee to which he/she belongs on all
matters related to the environment.
ii) Promote environmental awareness in the area he/she belongs on the protection of the
environment and the conservation of natural resources.
iii) Monitor the preparation, review and approval of Environmental Impact Assessment for
local investments.
92. Institutional set up for environmental management in Tanzania Mainland is as presented in
Figure 2 below.

94. Institutional mandate and responsibilities of environmental management is well elaborated from
central level down to local government and local community level.

95. During implementation of Program, capacity building and training in environmental and social
management are the key elements in program implementation since, it has been observed that capacity
in this field is still limited at PAA level. Most of the officials designated or appointed as Environmental
Management Officers are basically not well trained to handle environmental issues comprehensively.
3.7 Environmental Assessment Process and Procedures
96. This section discusses the steps involved in the environmental assessment process and
procedure leading towards the review and approval of subprojects under the Program. The section
gives an explicit description of roles, reporting and advice mechanisms during implementation of the
project.
3.7.1 EIA Procedure in the Program
97. The EMA, 2004 and its EIA and Audit Regulation of 2005, requires that, EIA be mandatory for
projects which cause adverse environmental and social impacts. Projects listed in the first schedule of
the EIA and Audit Regulations may or may not require EIA as shown in Annex 2.
98. For small scale projects and enterprises listed in Annex 3, where the Program falls, requires
Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA). Subprojects requiring PEA are likely to have less
significant adverse environmental and social impacts but that the magnitude of the impacts are not
well-known, a preliminary environmental assessment is required to decide whether the project can
proceed without a full environmental impact assessment.
99. For sub projects that require PEA the procedure will involve the following stages: subproject
identification, screening, preliminary environmental assessment, reviewing, permitting decision,
monitoring and reporting.
3.7.2 Steps toward Environmental and Social Management under ESS1
The following are steps for sub projects screening for environmental and social impacts;
Step 1: Sub Project Screening for potential impacts.
100. Mobilize communities and sensitize them on the importance of screening. Failure for
communities, LSP, CMC and VC leaders to understand the importance of screening may lead to
continued environmental problems. Therefore, participatory tools such as Mapping, Ranking, Focus
Group Discussion (FGD) and others will be used. The following points will be considered:
a) PAAs technical team should undertake the exercise at the community during micro
planning.
b) Assign responsibilities to each of the team member and ensure that each member
thoroughly prepares prior to screening.
c) Take all the relevant materials needed including the screening forms;
d) Screening will be done during micro planning (see screening form in Annex 4 and 5),
and the process will be participatory. Other influential leaders can also be invited.
e) Explain the purpose for your visit and the significance of the exercise to the community.
Let them participate throughout in the processes. Facilitators will only guide them.
21
f) Discuss with the group members on the types of subproject they would undertake;
g) Discuss with members the main activities involved in each type of the subproject
throughout the project cycle.
h) Discuss with members the main potential environmental and social problems the project
would cause. This step will indicate whether or not a subproject has significant adverse
environmental/social impacts and risks, whether the relevant standards would be
applicable to the subproject and what specific instrument/s will be prepared and
measures to implement to meet the requirements of the relevant standards.
i) List the main potential impacts on a board or flip chart and member’s record in their
notebooks:
Step 2: Development of an Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs)
101. At this stage, CMC with guidance from PAAs sector experts will use information from the
screening form to develop respective ESMPs containing the following:
a) The relevant project activities;
b) The potential negative environmental and Social Impacts;
c) The proposed mitigation measures;
d) The persons responsible for implementation of the mitigation measures;
e) The persons responsible for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measures;
f) The frequency of the afore-mentioned measures;
g) The capacity building needs and
h) The cost estimates- The total cost of the mitigation is inbuilt into the project cost. The
ESMP guides the supervision, monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of
mitigation measures. The ESMP form will be completed for each subproject
implemented. Format of ESMP form is attached on Annex 6.
The ESMP will be prepared for each subproject implemented under the Program. A Handbook
on PW will be used to guide ESMP preparation especially in terms of site specific issues such
as selection of site for a defined sub-activity, location of solid waste disposal area and sanitation
arrangements at the site.
Step 3: Review and Approval
102. The PAAs Management Team will review the results and recommendations presented in the
environmental and social screening forms and the proposed mitigation measures presented in the
environmental and social checklists (Annex 7) as a basis for making recommendations for subproject
approval.
Step 4: Monitoring of ESMP
103. The purpose of Monitoring the ESMP is to:
i. Ensure that proper appraisals on the effects of sub-projects takes place and that proper
measures are put in place to mitigate the effects;
ii. Set out the basis for compliance and enforcement of terms and conditions for approval;
22
iii. Design compliance strategies;
iv. Assess compliance with and management of the environment and social safeguards.
v. Ensure that all stakeholders participate in the sub-project processes.
104. Safeguards monitoring system with clear monitoring indicators and tools will be developed
prior to the start of implementation of PW sub projects. This will be used by respective PAAs
Environment Officers and extension officers to carry out the monitoring of sub projects during
implementation, as well as during subproject operation and maintenance.
105. Since monitoring, evaluation and reporting on safeguards issues will form part of the overall
sub-project implementation processes, the CMC will submit reports through extension officers at
Ward level on bi-monthly basis to the PAA. The PAA will then consolidate in their quarterly reports
submitted to TMU.
106. On satisfactory implementation of mitigations measures and adequate reporting, the PAAs
Environment Officer shall then certify that a subproject has met the requirements of mitigation and
will be included in the completion certificate.
107. Information on compliance to environmental and social safeguards will also be generated from
quarterly reports, annual reports and field assessment reports by safeguards unit, evaluation reports,
and feedback meetings and during Joint Review and Implementation Support Missions (JRISM).
End of the subproject implementation
108. The Implementation of ESMF will rely on the existing PAAs structures, TASAF/TMU
personnel and the Safeguards (Environmental and Social Management) Specialist. At the PAA level
the ESMF implementation will be supervised by the respective Environment Officers and ward
Extension Officers who will also be supported by sector-specific experts.
3.8 Potential Environmental and Social Risk and Impact
109. The implementation of the Program is designed to be environmentally and socially sensitive so
as to avoid any undesirable adverse consequences of the specified interventions and hence ensure the
achievement of improved standards of living of the poor. Most of the project impacts would be
localized due to being relatively of small scale. Nevertheless, there are some issues of concern that cut
across the range of proposed interventions. Field studies and lessons from similar programs show that
issues such as community participation, community ownership and selection of appropriate sites are
some of the key concerns that influence project success, sustainability and impact to the environment.
110. Impact assessment refers to the identification and evaluation of environmental and social
changes occurring as a result of implementing a project. It is a systematic and integrative process of
drawing together an analysis of the likely environmental and social effects of a particular project. It is
a critical process that makes use of baseline information that describes biophysical and social aspects
of the project area and determines the most significant adverse impacts.
23
Objectives of impact assessment
111. Impact assessment involves the actual investigation and reporting of the results of the
assessment. The objectives of the impact assessment include;
(i) Identification of both positive and negative impacts of the project
(ii) Identification of tools and techniques for impact analysis
(iii) Proposing measures to mitigate adverse impacts
(iv) Development of plans for management and monitoring of the impacts
112. Impact Assessment ensures that environmental and social criteria are considered in the early
stages of project planning alongside economic viability. To this end the impact assessment will:
i. Provides alternative options (location, technology, processes etc.) to the sub project
ii. Safeguards the subproject against mitigation measures through retrofitting
113. For effective impacts identification, various stakeholders will be consulted for potential
environmental and social impacts likely to arise during the Program implementation: This in general
will include environmental protection agencies, affected district and municipal assemblies, inline
ministries, NGOs, CBOs and communities that implement the project.
114. The likely potential positive and negative impacts of the Program are detailed in the following
section.
3.8.1 Overall Environmental and Social impacts
115. Environmental and social sustainability are fundamental to overall sustainable development
strategies, natural resource conservation, and poverty alleviation. Lessons learned from TASAF II and
elsewhere demonstrate that community involvement in the decision-making and management process
may bring effective and lasting improvement in the livelihoods of people and can lead to better use
and protection of the natural resource base. Therefore, environmental and social sustainability are
fundamental to the success of Program.
3.8.2 Potential Positive Impacts
116. Subprojects to be implemented under the Program will be mainly PWP and PI aiming at creating
employment and increase consumption and income of poor households. Sub projects will strengthen
traditional systems of environmental and social governance and embrace the notion of community
dialogue through effective functioning of Village/Shehia/Mtaa or inter-Village/Shehia committees for
community land, environmental and social management. Some of the potential impacts resulting from
the project implementation are as follows:
• The project will help promote the decentralization process through support to capacity building
interventions. The Tanzania local government system is based on political devolution and
decentralization of functions and finances within the framework of a unitary state. Local
governments will be holistic, i.e. multi-sectoral, government units with a legal status (body
corporate) operating on the basis of discretionary, but general powers under the legal framework
constituted by the national legislation. Local governments have the responsibility for social
24
development and public provision within their jurisdiction, facilitation of maintenance of law
and order and issues of national importance such as education, health, water, roads and
agriculture. Local governments have constituted unitary governance systems all over the
country based on elected councils and committees and a professional administration.
• The project will support activities to increase literacy and reduce poverty, and will help
communities to become better informed on impacts of degradation of natural resources and
encourage conservation.
• Strategically placed infrastructure development and associated services may enable more
sustainable production systems (e.g. forestry, agriculture etc.); as well stimulating private
investment in the forests and agricultural sector but also in other sectors, such as tourism,
particularly in and around conservation areas.
• Maintenance and rehabilitation of rural roads will increase access to markets and social services,
such as health care and education.
• The project will result in better management of natural resources surrounding planned
interventions and above all it has the potential of improving land administration including land
tenure systems.
• An increased number of strategically located small-scale water points will help meet the need
for potable water and lead to a more diffused distribution of human and livestock pressures on
existing limited resources.
• Effective management and reversal of degradation of natural habitants through a variety of
known soil and water conservation techniques (rock bunds, composting, windbreaks,
reforestation, water catchments etc.) will lead to a positive impact on conservation of natural
habitats and biodiversity.
• Local institutional strengthening and empowerment is achieved through improved
understanding and use of the tools and mechanisms for environmental and social impact
assessment and participatory approaches to community development (e.g. development of a
community development plan); and investment in social and economic infrastructure, such as
construction or rehabilitation of health facilities, school classrooms, markets, etc. will result in
improvement in people’s well-being and livelihoods, and promote equitable development and
hence improve livelihood security of an individual within a rural/ urban community.
• Consequently, the Program project activities have the potential to make a significance
contribution to Tanzania’s policies to protect and preserve the environment while reducing
poverty to the population.
25
3.8.3 Potential Adverse Impacts
117. It is expected that the implementation of the Program activities might have environmental
impacts. The environmental and social impact predicted included but not limited to:
• Erosion of lands downhill from roadbed or in borrow areas
• Landslides, slips and slumps
• Creation of stagnant pools of water in left borrow pits
• Create dust to nearby house during
• Increased sediments into streams, ponds and rivers due to erosion from road sides.
• Decline in water quality due to high silt load
• Increased run-off and flooding conditions
• Disruption or destruction of wildlife
• Threats to rare and endangered species
• Increased access to forests, protected areas and increased risks of logging and
Poaching
118. These impacts vary in intensity based on the following reasoning:
119. Livelihoods and environment, particularly in the rural setting are sometimes varied and
unpredictable (e.g. stratified and achieving effective participation by marginalized groups, including
women, youth and migrants, may require good facilitation). For details on potential adverse impact
refer to Annex 5.
▪ Lack of adequate capacity for environmental and social screening of small scale activities
in some local government authorities may exacerbate existing environmental and social
issues affecting communities within the target areas. This may affect the quality of
implementation of ESMP if not addressed adequately.
▪ Alternative livelihoods and intensification of agricultural production, which may result in
improved well-being, may also lead to an increase in area of cultivation, may increase
demand on natural resources or degrade the surrounding environment. Adequate
facilitation is required to mitigate this potential adverse effect.
▪ Rising population pressures, a deteriorating resources base, desertification and drought
due to climate change and intensification of the agricultural production systems often lead
to an increase in land-related conflicts. The introduction of investments in these areas may
attract outside immigrants that will further increase pressure on existing resources and
possibly increase land-related conflicts.
▪ Some sub projects supported by the Program may not bring the intended benefits to certain
vulnerable groups and to the poor and may further contribute to inequitable distribution of
resources and marginalizing of these groups. The development of a District/Village
Development yearly planning seeks to avoid this, however the consistency of active
participation by vulnerable groups may vary and cannot be ensured. Further, the ability of
vulnerable groups and the poorer segments of the population to express their views and
needs cannot be stated at this time.
26
120. Therefore, it is crucial for communities to receive support from skilled and experienced
facilitators in methods of community participation, project planning and management when planning
activities and sub- projects. It is equally important that follow up be made in order ensure that the
concerns of the poor and vulnerable groups have been taken into consideration over time.
3.8.4 Localized Negative Impacts
121. Sub-projects to be implemented under the Program are expected be small in size and scale.
Consequently, the significance of the direct negative environmental and social impacts is likely to be
small and localized except where the activities are poorly designed. A number of the proposed
activities in the subprojects such as small-scale irrigation using surface and ground water,
construction/rehabilitation of health facilities, rehabilitation of community roads can lead to impacts
on biodiversity, soils and water quality. The environmental screening tools are critical in identifying
and mitigating the potential impacts as they relate to different subprojects.
122. Gender Based Violence: Further, in some cases, cash transfers and or cash for work may lead
to conflicts within the household that may potentially result in instances of gender-based
violence(GBV). Site specific Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) will specify
ways to address potential GBV in subprojects through identification of mitigation measures. At this
stage some general approaches and principles are summarized:
• Risk Assessment: GBV risks are considered High, Substantial, Moderate or Low and will
feed into the overall E&S risk rating of the project. Determining the rating is done jointly
by the borrower (through stakeholder consultations) and the Bank by applying the GBV
Risk Assessment Tool which considers both project-specific and contextual risks – such as
capacity to address GBV, presence of relevant service providers etc.
• GBV Action Plan: The action plan should a) Establish mechanisms to address GBV and b)
address potential GBV incidents that may arise. Specific plans will be elaborated in
ESMPs.
• The role of the GRM is limited in GBV-related complaints with focus on three aspects:
Document a) the nature of the complaint – without asking further questions, b) Was the
perpetrator associated with the project, and c) If possible, obtain age and sex of
survivor. All information must be treated as confidential and the GRM operator should be
trained on how to approach survivors that must be referred to a safe and ethical GBV
service provider. The Implementing Agency and the World Bank should be notified
immediately.
• Survivor-centered approach: Aims to create a supportive environment in which the
survivor’s rights are respected and prioritized and in which the survivor is treated with
dignity and respect.
123. Since GBV cases are qualitatively different from other complaints that are typically handled
through the grievance redress mechanisms, for example, those related to compensation, etc., the GBV
cases need a specific channel for their management and since PSSN is a nation-wide program
conditions may vary depending on local circumstances. The above will be more elaborated during
27
project implementation in the event such situations arise. More guidance will also be obtained from
the GBV Practice note that has more detailed information.
3.8.5 Cumulative Impacts
124. Some sub-projects may in some areas result in cumulative impacts on the environment.
Cumulative impacts are impacts, which may result from individually, small-scale subprojects with
minimal impacts but which over time can combine to have a significant impact. Cumulative impacts
can also be defined as impacts, which potentially develop from the combined impacts of more than
one project or large-scale program occurring within the same area of influence and time span. In such
cases, cumulative impacts will have to be assessed based on the combined effects of potential impacts
from the various program inputs.
125. Considering possible cumulative impacts of the PWP/ LE sub-projects, stakeholders will be
provided with an opportunity to learn how to avoid or mitigate localized impacts from initial
subprojects, so that measures can be integrated into subsequent activities.
126. The Project supports diverse types of subprojects in the same community. Some examples of
activities related to such sub projects are as follows:
a. Potential impacts on surface water, owing to the construction of numerous small-scale
irrigation works and potential cumulative impacts on water users (especially downstream
users of potential river and streams);
b. Potential increase of poaching of wildlife due to expansion of land under cultivation, starting
bush fires or increased proximity and access to protected areas through construction of rural
community access roads.
3.8.6 Strategic Impacts
127. The location of certain small-scale sub projects such as community access roads, water
reservoirs and development of irrigated agricultural activities downstream from small dams might also
have strategic impacts. Thus, they require a more detailed assessment in relation to the types of sector
policies and land management plans that the Government of Tanzania is advocating (e.g. how many
community access roads may fit into the overall transport sector policy in Tanzania). Infrastructure
such as community access roads requires an assessment of the location and design to take into account
the potential impacts that the road may have on the natural resources (soil erosion, encroachment on
protected areas, changes to surface run-off, dust, etc.) and on the social environment (mobility of
communities, migration of people, introduction of diseases, etc.).
128. Vulnerability analysis: PSSN II aims at achieving inclusion and will therefore continue to target
the poorest and most vulnerable households as it scales-up to full national coverage. By the end of
PSSN II, targeted households in all villages in all 187 PAAs across the United Republic of Tanzania
will have had access to CTs and (if they have labor capacity) also to PW and basic livelihoods
support. In addition, the project will target individuals with specific vulnerabilities and such people
include women especially those that head households, the elderly, youth with no jobs or out of school,
disabled, etc. For example, under PSSN I the majority (83 percent) of primary recipients of household
benefits were women and this focus on women as the main recipient will continue under PSSN II.
28
Similarly, supplementary child and disability grants will be offered only to households that include
children or people with disabilities (PWDs). As an incentive, additional variable HCTs will be offered
to families with children complying with health and education co-responsibilities. In addition, the
number of households reached in each village will be guided by geographical targeting based on
poverty maps. Recertification of existing beneficiary households, and efforts to address exclusion
errors in existing villages will ensure that the program continues to reach the poorest households.
There will be a stronger focus on targeting each element of the project to the households to which it is
most suited as well as addressing the vulnerabilities identified: CTs will comprise three types of
benefits, layered as follows:
(i) A fixed transfer offered to all PSSN households. This transfer will be unconditional only for
households with no labor capacity and will be referred to as Direct Support. Households with labor
capacity will instead receive a time-limited Productive Transfer, which will be accompanied by soft-
conditions in the form of community sessions and savings promotion; these households will receive
the productive transfer only until they enroll in public works - once they start receiving PW transfers,
the productive transfer will stop.
(ii) A fixed transfer for vulnerable groups provided to all households that include a child aged 0-18
years old (Child Grant) and to those that include a person with a disability (PWD) (Disability
Grant). Households that include both a child and a PWD will receive both types of grant.
Public Works: Public Works however will be offered only to those households with labor capacity
(including at least one member aged 18-65 years able to work); households with just one worker where
that worker is pregnant or caring for an infant will receive PW wages but be granted a temporary
waiver from the need to work.
Livelihoods support: The basic livelihoods support will be offered to all PSSN II households with
labor capacity, whilst the enhanced livelihoods package will be offered to 200,000 selected households
that have labor capacity and live in the 44 poorest PAAs.
3.8.7 Other Social and Environmental Degradation Issues
129. Other issues, which need to be addressed under the Program are the issues of pollution, land
degradation, and sensitivity to vulnerable groups.
(i) Potential Sources of Pollution
130. With respect to sub-projects to be financed by the Program, there is a possibility that
development of social and economic infrastructure can lead to pollution of watercourses from
increased generation of solid waste and wastewater due to inadequate attention being paid to inclusion
of proper sanitation facilities.
131. Subprojects to be implemented under PW are expected to be of small scale and will encourage
use of organic manure and compost fertilizers, and integrated pest management while discouraging
29
reliance on chemical pesticides. However, in the event of tree planting or horticultural subproject that
may require application of agrochemical for instance, to address a significant pest invasion, the PAA
Sector Expert will advise based on prevailing situation of the incidence, whether being a localized one
or an epidemic situation affecting large area. In a situation and when use of pesticides will be
inevitable, the project will be advised to apply biodegradable pests control materials in accordance
with the requirement of the Pesticide Management Act of 2013, which advocates for safer alternatives
to existing pesticides as per latest global research and development without compromising the
importation of biological control agents. Through the guidance of the Agricultural or Forestry
Extension office at PAA, screening of suitable pesticides will be carried out in compliance with the
Pesticides Control Regulations GN 193 of 1984, which aims to: (i) ensure the effectiveness of
pesticides used in Tanzania for the production of food and fibre and for the protection of public health
and safety: (ii) protect against possible harmful effects of pesticides including: (a) impairment of the
health of persona handling pesticides or using or consuming products or substance treated with
pesticides; (b) impairment of the health of domestic animals including honey bees from direct
application or pesticides or from the consumption of plant or animals treated with pesticides (c)
damage to cultivated plants from direct application or pesticides or from persistent soil residues and
(d) damage to the natural environment including impairment of the health of wildlife and
contamination of waterway lakes and other water bodies.
(ii) Impact on Ecological Resources and Land Degradation
132. Some of the proposed activities and sub-projects can lead to both localized and cumulative
impacts on such areas as bio-diversity, lowlands, forests, soil and water quality, etc. Land degradation
due to sub-projects that involve construction, deforestation, and induced impacts associated with
small-scale community access roads, or any development that induces concentration of people,
agriculture or livestock in particular areas. The environmental and social screening tools presented in
this framework will be used to identify and mitigate the potential impacts discussed as they related to
certain types of community investments.
3.9 Training and Capacity Building
133. Capacity building and training for environmental and social management is required for all
levels of implementation of the Program. A safeguard unit has been established at TMU to coordinate
and oversee the implementation of environmental and social safeguard policies, monitoring, reporting
and capacity building.
134. Safeguard staff at the national level whose role is to oversee overall implementation of
safeguard activities across the program will continue to provide safeguard training to enhance the local
capacity. At LGA the designated local safeguard staff (District Environmental officer, Ward
Environmental officer and Village Environmental officer) will work in collaboration with the national
safeguard team to address capacity gaps on safeguard issues at the local level. The national safeguard
team should further strengthen monitoring of safeguard implementation and compliance to enhance
local capacity. Some of capacity building activities will include safeguard training, application of
health and safety measures to community workers such as use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
in public works and other manual labor activities.
30
135. Specifically, the safeguard unit is responsible for:
i. Ensure compliance of environmental and social issues emanating from Project
intervention. Capacity building for PAAs facilitation team on the requirements of the
ESMF
ii. Provide technical backstopping to PAAs Environmental Management Officer on the
compliance of the safeguard policies
iii. Review monitoring reports submitted by the PAAs for compliance with safeguard policies
Regular Monitoring of potential impacts
3.9.1 Training at PAA level
136. At this level, PAAs facilitators will be trained on environmental and social policies that have
been triggered. PAAs facilitators will be a multi-disciplinary team of experts who will support
communities in subproject planning, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Objectives
of the training will be:
➢ Support communities to carry out environmental and social assessment for each sub-project
that have been identified.
➢ Ensure that PAAs have the capacity to assist communities in preparing sub-project
proposals, to appraise, approve and supervise the implementation of sub-projects; and
➢ Strengthen the capacity of local NGOs and other services providers to provide technical
support to communities in environmental and social aspects of the sub-projects.
3.9.2 Budget for Mainstreaming, Capacity Building and Training
137. The implementation will be undertaken in a way whereby existing training capacity at all levels
will be used. Since the government, PAAs other projects and programmes also supports other on-
going related interventions, the Program will aim to fill capacity gaps to be identified by the
assessment.
138. Furthermore, in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts, the budget for environmental
and social concerns will mainly be mainstreamed in the relevant activities and sub projects. For
instance, identification of capacity gaps and training needs assessment will be conducted for all other
interventions concurrently, including environmental and social management. Similarly, sensitization
on environmental and social management will be budgeted for under Development Communication,
and as such may not require to be budgeted for separately.
3.10 Monitoring and Evaluation of ESMF
139. Monitoring is an ongoing activity during the life of a project. Through monitoring, it is possible
to determine project progress that has been made in relation to the work plan. Monitoring helps to
determine whether a project is on track and if any of its strategies or activities needs to be changed so
that it can be successful project. On the other hand, evaluation determines how successful a project
31
has been in meeting its objectives. It also helps assess the impact of the project activities on the desired
outcome, like enhancing knowledge.
140. The objective for monitoring and evaluation plan is two-fold.
a. To alert program authorities and to provide timely information about the success or
otherwise of the Environmental and Social Management process outlined in this ESMF in
such a manner that changes can be made as required to ensure continuous improvement to
the process.
b. To evaluate the performance of the ESMF by determining whether the mitigation measures
designed into the sub project activities have been successful in such a way that the pre-
program environmental and social condition has been restored, improved upon or worse
than before and to determine what further mitigation measures may be required.
3.10.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Indicators
141. A number of indicators will be used in order to determine the status of environmental and social
safeguards issues emerging from subproject implementation. The implemented subprojects will be
monitored through a subproject implementation completion report which is submitted after PW
season. Annex 8 is indicating the report format for subproject completion report.
142. The following are some parameters and verifiable indicators to be used to measure the ESMP
process, mitigation plans and performance.
▪ Number of CMC, Village Governments/Shehia Advisory Council/ Mtaa Committee trained
in environmental and social safeguards.
▪ Number of PAAs Facilitators trained in environmental and social management procedures.
▪ Number of subprojects implemented on Public owned land
▪ Number of subprojects implemented on Privately owned land
▪ Number and type of subprojects that have been screened for environmental and social
issues, using the screening form and checklist.
3.10.2 Monitoring Roles and Responsibilities
143. The successful implementation and monitoring of the environmental and social management
framework, environmental monitoring would depend on collaboration of different stakeholders at all
levels.
(a) Community level
144. Community Management Committee (CMC) in conjunction with Village/Mtaa Environmental
Committee and with support from Village Council/Mtaa/Shehia Advisory Council Committee will
monitor the environmental and social impacts and ensure mitigation measures are implemented. They
will also maintain suitable records to be made available to their respective PAAs experts.
(b) District council level
145. The PAA Environmental Officers in collaboration with PAAs Management Team have a
supervisory monitoring role to ensure that the mitigation measures indicated in the ESMP are being
32
implemented. The PAAs EMO will prepare monitoring report and submit to RAS/TMU on quarterly
basis.
(c) National level:
146. At National level, the National Steering Committee (NSC) and TMU in collaboration with the
Sector Experts Team (SET) will ensures that sub projects designs conform to different technical sector
norms and standards. TMU will also be responsible for appointing a consultant to review the
environmental and social issues including assessment of cumulative impacts on periodic basis. The
reviewed reports will be shared with World Bank and other stakeholders.
The Program will as well implement other standards on safeguards namely the ESS 3, ESS4 and
ESS6 though not to a high level as compared to ESS 1, ESS 2, ESS 5, ESS 7, ESS 8 and ESS 10.
The ESS 3 on Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management will be focusing
on areas potential for causing pollution and set mitigation actions based on mitigation hierarchy which
include avoiding, minimizing or treating generated waste as a pollution control measure. The Program
will ensure adherence to PW Handbook which provides for the norms and standards for a site setting
procedure. The PW Handbook requires a site be arranged to have waste disposal and management
facility, sanitary facility and avoid any potential site contamination activity during subproject
implementation.
For every PWP subproject implementation site, the following will be observed to prevent and manage
pollution to soil, water and general environment:
• Provision of temporary sanitary facilities for both male and female laborers
• Waste collection pit for bio-decomposable wastes, and collection point for non-biodegradable
waste such as plastic containers, plastic bags and packaging materials
• Agrochemical handling and storage point. This will be selected through the assistance of Sector
Expert to reduce potential contamination to soil and water courses. The agrochemical storage
point will be well secured, place where no water, runoff can be impounded and roofed to
protect direct rainfall to stored agrochemicals.
Other potential pollution sources include the application of excessive agrochemicals to gardening and
horticulture activities. This will be mitigated through training to LSP who will supervise horticulture
and agriculture-related subprojects on how agrochemicals will appropriately be applied. Most of
horticulture and gardening activities will be undertaken in a small scale and for a relative short period,
hence it is anticipated that there will be no or minimal use of agrochemicals in subprojects under the
Program. Since excessive use of fertilizers could load nutrients into water bodies thus resulting into
eutrophication affecting natural ecological systems, avoidance of excessive application of
agrochemical (pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers) and organic manure will be highly
emphasized.
The PAAs will be urged to avail Sector Experts in advising subprojects implementation whenever and
wherever the need will arise.
The ESS 4 on Community Health and Safety will guide the Program implementation through
mitigating potential health effects associated with subprojects activities. There are possibilities or
instances where subprojects may pose health risks and/or accidents to communities within its vicinity.
measures to execute in ensuring safety of the general community, will be implemented under the
33
guidance of LSP, CMC, and Sector Experts. Such safety measures will be subprojects specific to suit
implemented activities and operations, for instance fencing the subproject premises as appropriate,
provision of caution notices where applicable and set rules on Best Environmental Practices (BEPs)
and Standards Operation Procedures (SOPs) such as provision of safe access to services the created
asset offer, and awareness creation to community on sanitation principles through community
meetings.
On ensuring that assets created through implementation of PWP subproject will be safe to the
community, community health and safety measures will be applied to all subprojects and will be
prioritized according to the nature and type of subproject identified by the community. Sector Experts
of respective PAA will provide guidance to communities on appropriate and more suitable safety
measures for identified subproject using Environmental Checklist which has been prepared based on
Subprojects Sectors on Annex 7.
The ESS 6 on Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural
Resources will guide Program operations to subprojects with activities affecting natural biodiversity
and ecological sensitive sites. With reference to nature of subprojects under the Program, it is
anticipated that most of them will be implemented on undisputed land which is not a biodiversity
conservation reserve, ecological sensitive areas or specific environmentally sensitive places such as
wetlands, forest reserves, national parks etc. during the screening on subprojects, the issues on
biodiversity conservation will be considered, and halt all subprojects with potential significant
negative effects to biodiversity conservation. The site selection will be done during the subprojects
microplanning stage, when a PAA Sector Expert is involved to assist the community on selection of
appropriate site based on proposed subproject. The selection of subproject site will ensure
conservation of biodiversity of specific area by avoiding such ecologically sensitive sites as national
parks, breeding sites of endangered bird, vertebrates and animals, wetlands and fragile ecosystems and
places with rare species. Chapter 5 on cultural heritage management plan section 5.4 highlight key
areas with ecological sensitivity, which will not be involved in subprojects implementation. These
include National Parks, Game Reserve Areas and Protected Forest Reserves. Among the prime
national parks and game reserves include Ngorongoro Crater, Ruaha National Park, Selous Game
Reserve, Serengeti National Park, Gombe National Park, Katavi National Park, Lake Manyara
National Park which is a prominent lesser flamingoes breeding place and Tarangire National Park.
The Tanzania map indicating national parks and reserved areas is as seen on Annex 17

CHAPTER 4: LABOUR AND WORKING CONDITIONS
4.1 Introduction
147. Environment and Social Standard 2 (ESS2) of the World Bank recognize the importance of
employment creation and income generation in pursuit of poverty reduction and inclusive economic
growth. The Program will promote sound worker-management relationships and enhance the
development benefits of a project by treating workers in the project fairly and providing safe and
healthy conditions.
148. The Occupational Safety and Health Act, No. 5 of 2003 and Employment and Labour Relations
Act, No. 8 of 2006, both have relevant clauses that support ESS 2. Act No 5 of 2003 make further
provisions for securing the safety, health and welfare of person at work; it protects workers against
risks to safety or health in connection with the activities of persons at work.
149. The legislation requirements conform to guidance provided in WB Environmental and Social
Framework (ESF) and Environmental and Social Standard 2 (ESS 2).
4.2 Objective
150. The main objective of Labour and Working Conditions (LWC) is to promote sound workers-
management relationships and enhance the development benefits of a project by treating workers in a
project fairly and providing safe and healthy working conditions.
151. The specific objectives are as follows:
i) To promote safety and health at work,
ii) To promote the fair treatment, non-discrimination and equal opportunity of project
workers,
iii) To protect project workers, including vulnerable workers such as women, persons with
disabilities, children (of working age, in accordance with ESS 2) and migrant workers,
contracted workers, community workers and primary supply workers as appropriate,
iv) To prevent the use of all forms of forced labour and child labour,
v) To support the principles of freedom of association and collective bargaining of
project workers in a manner consistent with national law, and
vi) To provide project workers with accessible means to raise workplace concerns.
4.3 Rationale for Labour and Working Conditions (LWC) Procedures
152. Implementation of the programs sub-components Public Works Program and Productive
Inclusion will result into impact of varying nature and degree depending on the situation at hand of
the social, economic, administrative and environmental equilibrium in the respective communities.
Although, these subprojects at a large extent include the use of community in a number of different
circumstances where as subprojects are designed and conducted for the purpose of fostering
community – driven development and providing a social safety net. The foreseen impacts to the
35
communities’ raises the importance of addressing LWC issues adequately. This entails use of relevant
ESS 2 provision to put in place a suitable LWC procedure that will provide guidance to communities
in addressing LWC issues and control of unwanted incidents.
153. As stated above, the purpose of LWC is to provide guiding principles for assessment and
management of all physical works targeted under the Program. It will help to systematically identify,
predict and evaluate beneficial and adverse LWC impacts of subprojects to be financed under the
project as well as identify the terms and conditions on which community labor will be engaged,
including amount and method of payment and times of work. This procedure will also identify the
way in which community workers can raise grievances. General ESHs requirements will be applied
by this project.
4.4 Scope of application
154. The applicability of LWC as stipulated in ESS2 is established during the environment and social
assessment described in ESS1. There are different types of employment relationship between the
PSSN II project and the project workers: These are:
i) Direct workers employed directly by the project implementing agency
ii) Workers employed by PAAs
iii) People engaged to provide community labour (Community labour).
155. All government civil servants working in connection with the project, whether full-time or part–
time, they will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the existing publicsector employment
agreement as per Employment and Labour Relations Act No. 8 of 2006. ESS2 will not apply to such
government civil servant except for the provision of paragraph 17 to 20 (Protecting the work force)
and Paragraphs 24 to 30 (Occupational Health and Safety).
4.5 Working Conditions and Management of Worker Relationships
156. This section discusses the procedures applicable to the Program. They will set out the way in
which project workers will be managed, in accordance with the requirement of the national law and
ESS2 during review and approval of subprojects under the Program. Application of ESS2 promotes
the implementation of a systematic approach to improving the management of risks and impacts
related to labor and working conditions in Program and respective Sub projects.
157. This section gives a description of roles, reporting and advice mechanisms during
implementation of the Program.
4.5.1 Labour Management Procedure
158. Various laws, policies, systems, standards and international good practice codes are applicable
to the implementation of this Plan. These laws include National Law Employment, Occupational
Safety and Health Act, No. 5 of 2003 and Employment and Labour Relations Act, No 8 of 2006, both
36
have relevant clauses that support ESS 2. Act No 5 of 2003. Project workers will be provided with
information that is clear and understandable regarding their terms and condition of employment. The
Labour Management Procedures are presented as a separate document (LMP).
4.5.2 Terms and conditions of engagement
159. There are two types of workers in the Program: (i) those from the government at PAA level and
TASAF Management Unit (TMU) who have contracts that are governed by the National Labour
Employment Act and (ii) community workers who will be working in the Program following rules as
agreed in the respective sub-components handbooks of PWP and PI including payment amount,
method of payment and hours of work. Only participants enrolled in the programme will be allowed
to work in PWP and PI subprojects. Payment and working conditions will be clearly identified and
communicated to the enrolled beneficiaries of poor households.
4.5.3 Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM):
160. A mechanism will be put in place to specify the way in which community workers can raise
their grievances. Detailed mechanism is shown in GRM section (chapter 6).
4.5.4 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS):
161. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 2003 Part IV para 43 Safety provision;
Part V para 54, 55 and 58 Health and Welfare Provisions; Part VI para 61 (1a), 63(a, b), 65 special
provisions, all these describes procedures to be followed to ensure workers safety. Furthermore, they
make provisions on safety, health and welfare of persons in factory and other places of work; to
provide for the protection of persons other than persons at work against hazards to health and safety
arising out of or in connection with activities of persons at work.
162. Measures relating to OHS are for protecting workers from injuries, illness or impacts associated
with exposure to hazards encountered in the work place or while working. Such measures take into
account the requirement of ESS2 and national law requirements on OHS and work place conditions.
Workers will be provided with protective gears appropriate to the circumstances of their work as
advised by Sector Expert, most common PPE are as shown in Annex 10.
163. Community workers. PSSN II will support sub-projects related to Public Works Program
incorporating targeted infrastructure and Livelihood interventions. The type of subprojects to be
supported will be identified by the communities after undergoing a participatory planning process
(community-driven bottom up approach). Health and safety risks and measures to address them will
be discussed during the participatory planning process.
164. The health and safety risks to which the community workers may be exposed from each type of
subproject will be assessed, as well as the ability to prevent or eliminate such risks or, if the risk cannot
be prevented or eliminated, the ability to protect community workers from exposure.
37
4.5.5 Duty allocations – women, elderly, people with disability, pregnant women
165. ESS2 recognizes that appropriate measures should be provided to protect and address
vulnerable, including specific groups such as women, people with disabilities and children. However,
the Program has provided equal right for both man and women participating in the project. Pregnant
women and lactating mothers (0-24 months) will not be working as well as elderly above 65 years old.
No children below 18 years old will be allowed to work.
4.5.6 Institutional arrangement:
166. In order to ensure successful implementation of LWC there is a need to clearly define roles and
responsibilities of key players and stakeholders at Community, PAA and National levels. The LWC
plan should provide a specific description of institutional arrangements, i.e. who is responsible for
carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures (for operation, supervisions, enforcement,
monitoring of implementation, remedial action, financing, reporting and staff training).
• National level- will prepare guidelines and all forms needed, capacity building to PAAs staff
and monitoring; ensure provision of expert advice on LWC process, ensure enforcement and
monitoring role as stipulated by law, ensure periodical labour and working conditions
environmental audits and facilitate in conducting training for staff that will carry out LWC
plan at PAA level.
• PAA level - The PAA Environmental Management Committee, which includes designated
PAA Environmental Officer as Secretary and the PSSN Coordinator will be responsible for
checking the completeness of Risk Assessment and Management Forms. This will enable them
to identify and mitigate the potential environmental and social impacts of sub projects. They
will be responsible for training of PAA facilitators, CMCs and Village leadership, filling of
forms required, prepare quarterly monitoring reports;
• Village level - After training members of the VC and CMC, they will undertake both
compliance monitoring and effects monitoring (which records the consequences of activities
during implementation).
167. During the planning phase, community members will participate in the identification of
indicators for monitoring the mitigation measures.
168. During implementation phase, monitoring the execution of works with respect to LWC, CMC
are responsible for the implementation of most of the mitigation measures, including safe disposal of
hazardous wastes.
169. During operation and maintenance phase, the overall environmental monitoring and alerting on
any emerging safety and hazards in conjunction with the ongoing sub project activities. The
communities will be enabled to present their observations and concerns through the acceptable
38
mechanisms including, but not limited to the Village/Shehia Environmental Committee to the PAA
Management Team and higher authorities.
4.5.7 Risk Assessment:
170. Potential risks that may arise from the nature of activities to be undertaken include: child labour,
forced labour, accident and injuries, safety and health hazards. The Program will have to address these
risks in a systematic manner as outlined in the provided forms as attachment (Annex 11).
4.5.8 Mitigation:
171. Based on the environmental and social impacts and risks identified from the use of the
checklists, the LWC Plan will describe technical details of each mitigation measure, together with
designs, equipment, descriptions and operating procedures as appropriate.
4.5.9 Monitoring:
172. Good monitoring and reporting procedures are necessary to ensure early detection of conditions
that necessitate particular mitigation measures and to furnish information on the progress and results
of mitigation. The LWC have included monitoring procedures that specify the type of motoring
activities that will be linked to the mitigation measures as depicted in ESCP. These include the
following:
• Confirm compliance in terms of national laws and ESS2 requirements
• Assess actual impacts against predicted and the mitigation measures,
• Document implementation procedures and effectiveness of management
173. Monitoring will be undertaken by different stakeholders working in the PSSN II project
including TMU staff, PAA staff, and village council and community workers, through desk review
and field inspection to confirm that listed mitigation measures are being implemented effectively to
achieve the intended outcomes.
4.5.10 Budgets and Costs Estimate:
174. Budget and cost estimates for implementation of this LWC will be included in the overall
Program budget. The budget should be for mitigation measures and recommended activities. The
mitigation and monitoring measures recommended in the LWC will be developed in consultation with
all affected groups to include their concerns and views in the design of the LWC Plan.
39
CHAPTER 5: CULTURAL HERITAGE PROTECTION PLAN
5.1 Introduction
175. The implementation of the Program will cover all areas of the country, addressing poverty to
citizens with different cultural backgrounds and norms. The Program implementation is seeking to
conserve and protect tangible and intangible cultural heritage of communities it serves, ensuring
poverty eradication activities do not intervene efforts to promote and practice conservation of culture
and protect community heritages. This chapter focus on Cultural Heritage Protection as required in
ESS8 of ESF.
5.2 Policies and legal frameworks
176. The key policies and legal frameworks are on both; the national legislation and ESF
requirements.
177. The legal protection of Tanzania cultural heritage resources is implemented through Antiquities
Act of 1964 (Act No. 10 of 1964 or Cap 333 Ref. 2002) which is the principal legislation and the
Antiquities (Amendment) Act of 1979 (Act No. 22 of 1979) as well as Rules and Regulations of 1981,
1991, 1995 and 2002. The 1964 Act, offers general protection to objects or structures, which are of
archaeological, paleontological, historic, architectural, artistic, ethnological or scientific interest. Also
operates by using the National Antiquities Policy of 2008, in which roles and responsibilities of
different actors and stakeholders of cultural heritage resources have been clarified.
178. The Division of Antiquities is a statutory body within the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Tourism responsible for conservation, preservation, protection and management of cultural heritage
resources in Tanzania. Tanzania is well endowed with abundant significant cultural heritage resources
which range from the Pliocene period about four million years ago to present time which are: Historical
sites, Historical towns, Traditional Settlements, Historic Buildings, Sites with special memories,
Archaeological or Paleontological sites, and Natural Features and Structures.
179. The Division also operates by using the National Antiquities Policy of 2008, in which roles and
responsibilities of different actors and stakeholders of cultural heritage resources have been clarified.
The important feature of this policy include elaborations of roles of the public, individuals, corporate
and institutions in managing cultural heritage resources; analyze ways in which cultural heritage
activities will be managed and administered; clearly clarify measures through which cultural heritage
resources shall be protected, managed, preserved, conserved and developed; and analyze the best
practices for conducting research and conservation of cultural heritage resources.
180. Despite of the Nation being reach in heritage resources, only sixteen (16) are managed and
controlled by the Central Government under the Antiquities Division.
40
181. According to currently available research findings show that Tanzania has 128 areas which have
been published on the National Gazette, though there are more than 500 areas recorded to have
significance of cultural heritage resources (source: Ministry of Nat Res & Tourism, 2017).
5.3 Objective of addressing Cultural Heritage Issues
182. The objective of addressing Cultural Heritage issues is to ensure that cultural values of
communities is retained irrespective of how less strong their culture may be. It is also seen that such
heritage sites with tangible cultural marks being in urban or rural area are conserved for present and
future generation. The Program implementation will in no way jeopardize the existence of cultural
heritage of any for, tangible or intangible by ensuring adequate Stakeholder Engagement process
throughout Program phases, i.e. design, implementation and monitoring of resulted outputs. However,
in case of chance finds of physical cultural resources during implementation of project activities, a
chance finds management plan will be prepared and implemented as part of the Environmental and
Social Management Plan (ESMP).
5.4 Key areas of focus
183. On tangible national heritage that would need conserved include those internationally
recognized by international organs such as UNESCO. Specific sites are considered to be global
heritage sites that require utmost level of conservation, despite co-existence nature of tangible heritage
and surrounding communities. The PSSN II will have different activities undertaken throughout the
country, including to areas where these heritages exist. Among the sixteen (16) sites inscribed on the
World Heritage list include Kondoa Rock Art site, the Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara,
and Olduvai Gorge. The areas recognized by UNESCO as world heritage with year of recognition in
brackets include;
5.5 Ngorongoro Conservation Area (1979)
184. A large permanent concentration of wild animals can be found in the huge and perfect crater of
Ngorongoro. Nearby is the crater of Empakaai filled by a deep lake and the active volcano of Oldonyo
Lenga. Excavations carried out in the Olduvai Gorge, not far from there, have resulted in the discovery
of one of our more distant ancestors, Homo habilis. Laitoli Site, which also lies within the area, is one
of the main localities of early hominid footprints, dating back 3.6 million years.
5.6 Serengeti National Park (1981)
185. The vast plains of the Serengeti comprise 1.5 million ha of savannah. The annual migration to
permanent water holes of vast herds of herbivores (wildebeest, gazelles and zebras), followed by their
predators, is one of the most impressive natural events in the world.
5.7 Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Ruins of Songo Mnara (1981)
186. The remains of two great East African ports admired by early European explorers are situated
on two small islands near the coast. From the 13th to the 16th century, the merchants of Kilwa dealt
41
in gold, silver, pearls, perfumes, Arabian crockery, Persian earthenware and Chinese porcelain; much
of the trade in the Indian Ocean thus passed through their hands. The area is also famous with ‘Swahili’
culture, which has Arabic descent.
5.7.1 Selous Game Reserve (1982)
187. Large numbers of elephants, black rhinoceroses, cheetahs, giraffes, hippopotamuses and
crocodiles live in this immense sanctuary, which measures 50,000 sq. km and is relatively, and also
significantly undisturbed by anthropogenic activities. The park has a variety of vegetation zones,
ranging from dense thickets to open wooded grasslands.
5.7.2 Kilimanjaro National Park (1987)
188. At 5,895 m, Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa. This volcanic massif stands in splendid
isolation above the surrounding plains, with its snowy peak looming over the savannah. The mountain
is encircled by mountain forest. Numerous mammals, many of them endangered species, live in the
park.
5.7.3 Stone Town of Zanzibar (2000)
189. The Stone Town of Zanzibar is a fine example of the Swahili coastal trading towns of East
Africa. It retains its urban fabric and townscape virtually intact and contains many fine buildings that
reflect its particular culture, which has brought together and homogenized disparate elements of the
cultures of Africa, the Arab region, India, and Europe over more than a millennium.
5.7.4 Kondoa Rock Art Sites (2007)
190. Kondoa Rock Art Sites, on the eastern slopes of the Masai escarpment bordering the Great Rift
Valley are natural rock shelters, overhanging slabs of sedimentary rocks fragmented by rift faults,
whose vertical planes have been used for rock paintings over at least two millennia. The spectacular
collection of images from over 150 shelters over 2,336 km2, many with high artistic value, displays
sequences that provide a unique testimony to the changing socio-economic base of the area from
hunter-gatherer to agro-pastoralist societies, and the beliefs and ideas associated with them. Some of
the shelters are still considered to have ritual associations with the people who live nearby reflecting
their beliefs, rituals and cosmological traditions.
191. On the other hand, the nation is formed of about 120 different ethnic groups with respective
geographical locations, unique culture and means of communication. The groups undertake varying
economic activities based on cultural backgrounds, location and climate. Most of the common socio-
economic activities of these communities include farming and livestock keeping. There are groups
engaging in hunting and gathering of fruits, roots and herbs, and those engaging into nomadic
pastoralism. The groups were thoroughly consulted in a free and prior informed consultation to
ascertain their engagement into PSSN II activities. Reference should be drawn from consultation of
VGPF as addressing ESS7.
42
192. The PSSN II Program will have activities in these PAAs having tangible and non-tangible
cultural heritages where participants will be trained on application of suitable means of its
management.
5.7.5 Potential adverse Impacts on Culture Heritage of communities
193. A number of adverse socio-cultural impacts are predicted that may be caused by the
implementation of the Program. The most obvious ones include:
i. Change of socio-economic activities of group in the program, hence loss of culturally-
originated economic activities
ii. Loss of cultural diets supplements obtained from fruits and roots from forests as the
communities will shift from hunter – gatherer groups to food purchasing communities.
194. It is therefore planned to have comprehensive monitoring plan on positive and negative impacts
of the Program during its implementation. An awareness raising sessions is vital towards educating
communities retaining cultural values as it benefit from the Program implementation. This will be
achieved through distribution of awareness raising materials to different communities promoting
safeguarding cultural values and heritage.
195. On the other hand, national and global heritage may be impacted by the Program through
implementation of some PWP, and PI activities depending in areas of implementation. Subprojects
involving livestock keeping, agricultural activities, afforestation and bee keeping would require
special technical and expert advice prior to its implementation to establish its feasibility in respective
area.
5.8 Cultural Heritage Management and Monitoring Plan
196. A comprehensive cultural and heritage management and monitoring plan will be developed for
the Program as pointed out in Environment and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP). The Cultural
Heritage Management Plan will focus to address conserving key elements of specific cultural heritage
which is believed to be impacted by project activities, and if not safeguarded may get extinctic or
significantly altered.

CHAPTER 6: STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN AND INFORMATION
DISCLOSURE
6.1 Introduction
Summary of PSSN II Program Description
197. The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania is in preparation to implement Second
Phase of Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN II) The Project aims at protecting the poor from
immediate effects of poverty, helping them to meet consumption needs and prevent further irreversible
losses in assets, and enable poverty-stricken households to invest in their future and improve their
livelihood. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve access to income-earning
opportunities and social economic services for targeted households below the poverty line while
enhancing and protecting the human capital of their children.
198. Activities under the Project will be implemented through, two main components (i) Productive
Household Support; (ii) Institutional Capacity Strengthening and Integrated Delivery Systems. In
accordance with ESS10 a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) has been prepared. The SEP has been
prepared as a separate document and summarized below.
Summary of PSSN I Stakeholder Engagement Activities
199. Targeting and Enrolment is the foremost Program activity implemented immediate after its
commencement. Prior to cash transfer to the enrolled beneficiary’s households, two major activities
of targeting and enrollment were carried out in all selected Villages/Mtaa/Shehia. During these two
activities, PAA facilitators were all trained using standard package of guidelines focusing on targeting
and enrolment process at the community level. The key activities involved in the process included
awareness creation to the communities on the program objectives, components to be implemented,
benefits level, entitlements and responsibilities as well as anticipated results. After community
sensitization, each Village Assembly meeting set up criteria for identification of poor households
according to their local situation. The set criteria were used to target poor households that will benefit
from the program. Community teams were formed amongst community members and others who were
conversant with families residing in the respective community. These were used to identify poor
households in the respective community. Names of identified poor households were first discussed in
the Village Council and thereafter were read in front of the general village assembly. The Village
assembly was mandated to endorse, add, reject and validate the names. Since Kiswahili was widely
used to explain key program features, translators were designated to translate into local language for
ease of grasping and understanding.
200. Community targeting, and enrolment were the most important steps of the project entry at the
Village level. Village assembly meetings were held and involved every group in the community
including the vulnerable communities. This was an important step towards inclusion of eligible
program beneficiaries including vulnerable groups, where names of all poor households were read.
This helped in minimizing inclusion and exclusion errors.
45
6.2 Stakeholders identification and analysis
6.2.1 Affected parties
201. The Project will identify individual, groups, local communities and other stakehoders that may
be directly or indirectly affected by the project either positively or negatively. Stakeholder
Engagement Plan (SEP) focuses particularly on those communities that are directly and adversely
affected by project activities. All community members in the villages will be affected during
implementation of the Project because by implementing the project they will have either direct or
indirect impacts. The consultation with the affected people will be held in the villages through special
assembly meetings. These meetings will be organized by the Village Councils whereby its members
have been informed the objectives of the meeting. This will enhance the attendance of many
community members in the meetings.
6.2.2 Other interested parties
202. Other interested parties will include institutions that are working in villages; this will include
PAA officials, village leaders and Civil Society organizations that are working with the affected
communities. These groups will have a role to play and also will have a broader knowledge of the
environmental and social characteristics of the project area and the nearby populations even if they are
not directly affected
6.2.3 Vulnerable Groups
203. These refer to those who are likely to be adversely affected by project impacts and /or are limited
than others in their ability to take advantage of Program benefits. Such individuals or groups are
susceptible to exclusion from, and/or are unable to fully participate in the mainstreaming consultation
process and as such may require specific measures and assistance to ensure adequate inclusion in
Program activities. VGs include hunter-gatherer communities, pastoralist, agro-pastoralist groups and
those communities with limited access to social services due to geographic and infrastructure-related
constraints. In addition, other vulnerable groups not described under ESS7 include women, especially
those heads of households, youth, elderly, people with disabilities, people at risk of being excluded
because of social bias and people with chronic illnesses.
6.2.4 Summary of project stakeholder needs
204. The following table summarized the potential needs of each individual stakeholder group,
indicating key characteristics and corresponding specific need.

6.2.5 Stakeholders Engagement Plan
205. Open and transparent engagement among Program stakeholders can improve the environmental
and social sustainability of subprojects, enhance Program acceptance and make a significant
contribution to successful Program design and implementation. During implementation of the Program
different stakeholders (individuals or groups) that are likely to be affected by the Program will be
consulted in order to foster a strong, constructive and responsive relationship which is important for
successful management of environmental and social risks. Stakeholders to be involved as per nature,
scale of the project, its potential risks and impacts will include project participants, members of
communities residing in the villages where project will be implemented and sector experts at all levels.
Annex 12 details the stakeholder’s engagement plan.
47
6.2.6 Purpose and timing of stakeholder engagement program
206. The stakeholders’ engagement plan will describe the timing and methods of engagement with
stakeholders during targeting and recertification and throughout the life cycle of the sub project i.e.
from, identification of sub projects, planning, implementation and decommissioning of sub projects.
Further the engagement plan will identify timings in which information regarding the sub project will
be communicated to stakeholders and type of information to be gathered for stakeholders. Information
gathering, and sharing will be crucial in the plan for each party involved to know what is expected of
them and the outcomes of sub projects at a particular point in time. This will guarantee knowledge
exchange and effective participation of the stakeholders who will ultimately make informed choices
on the project being implemented.
207. Information will be communicated through community meetings, distribution of
communication materials such as posters and fliers addressing issues around sub projects being
implemented. Use of local languages in community meetings through interpreters will be necessary to
ensure that participants fully understand what is being communicated to allow full participation in
terms of voicing their views and seeking clarification when in doubt so as to institute measures to
remove obstacles to participation. Needs of specific groups with specific information needs such as
disability, gender and mobility will be accommodated to ensure they are equally informed.
6.2.7 Proposed strategy for information disclosure
208. Information will be disclosed through public consultation and made available in brochures,
leaflets, or booklets, using both English and national language. Summaries of the Stakeholders
Engagement Plan will be made available in hard copies and in national language at PAA offices and
any other local level public offices. Electronic versions will be available on the official website of
TASAF and the Bank website. Information to be disclosed to participants will include (i) The purpose
and nature of the sub project to be implemented, (ii) duration of proposed activities, (iii) potential risks
and impacts of the project to local communities and mitigation measures. Also, disclosure of
information will include how stakeholders’ will participate by developing meeting schedules, venues
and procedure for receiving and addressing grievances. For the vulnerable groups information will be
made available to the affected vulnerable groups in an appropriate form and manner.
6.3 Proposed strategy for consultation
209. Consultation process is the dynamic process of dialogue between stakeholders based upon a
genuine exchange of views, with the objective of influencing decisions, policies or programs actions.
The process involves listening to all stakeholders’ opinions sincerely, respecting all participants,
showing interests in their knowledge, and behaviors while encouraging them to share their knowledge
and ideas. The following methods will be used for stakeholder’s consultation at the community level;
Discussion with key informants at all levels, Guided Focus Group Discussions and Special village
assembly meetings.
48
6.3.1 Proposed strategy to incorporate the view of vulnerable groups
210. The Program will use Vulnerable Group Plan (VGP) to ensure inclusion and meaningful
participation of vulnerable group in the Project design, planning and undertaking of planned activities
to enhance development process with full respect to dignity, human rights, economies, and culture of
Vulnerable Groups. In this connection VGP for sub-projects have been prepared through a highly
participatory, flexible and pragmatic process using participatory planning based on the findings of
stakeholder’s engagements conducted. The PAAs facilitators, in consultation with VGs in their
respective areas, will develop a specific VGP appropriate to the identified mitigation measures and
livelihood enhancement activities. ESMPs will be developed based on the ESMF’s objectives and
principles and the RAP as per guidance of the RPF to ensure the active participation of all vulnerable
groups.
6.3.2 Timelines
211. Stakeholders’ engagement plan is necessary to commence prior to start the project in order to
identify who are key stakeholders, what role they can contribute to VG communities and maintaining
meaningful interaction with them. SE is also done during Identification of beneficiaries to make sure
all VGs are included. Stakeholders’ engagement is done throughout the project implementation when
periodic monitoring is done to assess the progress and if implementation is done according to plan,
challenges are identified on time to allow for corrections.
6.3.3 Review of Comments
212. Methodology used to gather comments during stakeholders’ engagement interactions will
includes; taking notes during focus group discussion, during interview with key informants and
feedbacks during village assembly meetings. Data acquired will be analyzed and used to prepare
report. The review will be done to assess the level of stakeholder’s engagement to the project
213. This information will be used to prepare field reports, quarterly reports and semi-annual reports.
Some of data to be gathered includes pictures, maps and minutes of village assembly meetings with
attendance
6.4 Resources and Responsibilities for implementing stakeholder engagement
activities
6.4.1 Human Resources
214. The resources for the implementation of stakeholder’s engagements will depend on the size,
nature, type and time. Both human and material resources will be required to implement the plan at all
levels from the national up to the community. At the national level, there are Ministries, followed by
Regional Secretariats, while at the District level, administrative roles are executed by the District
Commissioners and District Administrative Secretaries. The Local Government level is handled by
LGA Directors (Directors for City, Municipal and Town Councils and Executive Directors for District
Councils). Under the LGA Directors, there are several heads of department who are supporting the
49
Directors such as planners, community development officers, and water, natural resources, land
specialists, etc.
215. At the community level, the governance is under Village Council/Mtaa/Shehia, whereby
administrative roles are executed by Village/Mtaa/Shehia Executive Officers. The community
administration is directly linked with its people, and it is at this level that community meetings are
organized for the purpose of public consultation, involvement and notable participation into
development activities such as sub-projects design, planning and implementation.
216. The TMU is the executing agency of this project and PAAs are implementing agencies under
the guidance of TMU. The TMU will be responsible for overall implementation, monitoring and
supervision.
6.4.2 Management functions and responsibilities
217. Different stakeholders from national up to the community level will play different roles and
responsibilities in relation to managing and implementing Stakeholders Engagement Plans (SEP) as
follows;

6.5 Monitoring and Reporting
6.5.1 Involvement of stakeholders in monitoring activities
221. During Project implementation, third parties will be involved in monitoring of the project
performance and measuring associated impacts. During identification of sub-projects the VGs, VCs,
CBOs and NGOs representatives who are working within the area and other community members will
be involved. During implementation monitoring will be done on quarterly basis where stakeholders
who were involved during consultation meetings can be invited on rotational basis (timeline and tools
to be used will be shared). At each site visit technical advice on issues observed will be provided in
the site visit book and back to office report prepared as per TASAF guidelines.
6.5.1 Reporting back to stakeholder groups
222. Stakeholders’ engagement outcomes will be reported back to the communities and other
stakeholders immediate after the exercise has been accomplished, and report and minutes prepared.
The team members will write the report and attach all relevant documentation according to evidence
gathered. The report /findings on focus group discussions and progress of project activities will be
shared at community level (Village assembly), PAA level and as well as National level. Emphasis will
be made on availability of grievances redress mechanism and the process involved communicating
grievances.
51
CHAPTER 7: GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
7.1 Introduction
223. The implementation of the Program activities, involves interaction with the community hence
it is important to promote broader citizenship engagement to enhance transparency and accountability.
The project continues to strengthen and upgrade the grievance redress mechanism established for the
PSSN I and works through the appropriate institutional structures for Project management at national,
PAA and community levels. This is well supported by the functional computerized management
information system (MIS), and the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system that has demonstrated
its capacity to generate timely information on inputs, outputs and results. Therefore, both clients and
non-clients of the Project can bring grievances about issues that concern them like the cash transfer
program and its timeliness and completeness of the transfers, management of the PW program and
transparency in provision of benefits as well as any irregularities in the entire Project GRM provides
a formal channel for citizens to air their grievances and hold the program accountable so as to improve
performance and provide high level of accountability.
224. The program advocates for a Grievance Redress Mechanism System in place as a formal process
for receiving, evaluating and redressing program-related grievances from affected communities and
the public. Grievances may be reported in form of claim, complaint or issue related to benefit-sharing,
resettlement or compensation process.
225. A wide range of project-affected people: community members, members of vulnerable groups,
project implementers, civil societies, and the media; are encouraged to bring grievances and comments
to the attention of project authorities. Grievances can be received through these communication
channels; hotline number +255 739 000 038; email address malalamiko@tasaf.org, face to face
communication, media or fill an uptake form available at villages/mtaa/shehia. In additional to
sensitization of how to lodge a grievance, it is also addressed during the community sessions for PSSN
II participants and through posters placed at pay-point centers which provide the same message.
226. Formation of grievance committee comprising of PAA Coordinator, Environmental Officer,
Land Officer and Community Development Officer is amongst the action plans vital to address all
grievances related to Project performance. For effectiveness and efficiency of GRM, the procedures
for handling grievance will be simple and administered as far as possible by the Village Council and
Grievance Committee at the PAA level. The Village Council or Shehia committee and PAA Grievance
Committee shall maintain records where grievances and complaints, including minutes of discussions,
recommendations and resolutions made, will be recorded.
227. The nature of grievance reported might necessitate involvement of different levels in decision
making to be resolved. The court will be the ultimate decision maker as per flow diagram below:
Village Ward PAA TMU Court
52
7.2 The procedure of grievance redress
228. Procedures to file grievances and seek action should be simple enough to PAP and
understandable. All grievances, simple or complex, should be addressed and resolved in a quick and
constructive manner within a period of fourteen (14) days, supported by a timely feedback to aggrieved
person where necessary.
229. The affected person should file his grievance in writing, to the Village Council or Shehia
committee. The grievance note should be signed and dated by the aggrieved person. Where the
affected person is unable to write, he should obtain assistance to write the note and emboss the letter
with his/her thumb print.
230. The Village Council or Shehia committee resolves those disputes it can, depending on the nature
of the complaint and where the mandate lies for the issue concerned. Unresolved issues/disputes
beyond their mandate are referred to adjudication to the PAA. Village Council or Shehia committee
keeps records of all complaints received, whether and how the VC resolved these and which
complaints were forwarded to the PAA coordinator. The Village Council will inform in writing the
complainant on the decision within 14 days.
231. PAA Coordinator submits unresolved grievances to the PAA Grievance Committee. The PAA
grievance Committee reviews the complaints and determines the appropriate course of action
according to the laws, rules and regulation. All complaints about abuse in service, potential corruption
must be channeled to proper authorities in no more than 14 days after the complaint is received. The
PAA Grievance Committee generates a letter to the complainant to inform them of the action taken.
232. In addition to submitting a complaint to the VC, people may also lodge complains with any
member of the PAA Management Team (CMT). Complaints received by CMT members are logged
with TASAF coordinator and considered by the PAA Grievance Committee. If the coordinator is
implicated in the complaint, then the complaint is forwarded directly to the PAA Director/ Principal
Secretary.
233. The PAA Grievance Committee should respond within 14 days during which any meetings and
discussions to be held with the aggrieved person should be conducted. If the grievance relates to
valuation of assets, PAA Grievance Committee should be requested to revalue the assets, and this may
necessitate a longer period of time. In this case, the aggrieved person must be notified by PAA
grievance committee through the Village Council that his/her complaint is being considered.
234. The Grievance Committee will produce a report containing a summary of all grievances and
will make this available to the TMU on a quarterly basis.
235. If the aggrieved person is dissatisfied with the decision of the PAA Grievance Committee and
other higher authorities or If no agreement is reached at this stage, then the complaint can be taken
through the formal court process, i.e. to the Village Land Council, the Ward Tribunal where relevant,
District Tribunal and the High Court (Land Division) at the National level. Samples of Grievance
53
Reporting and Grievance Resolution Forms are as included in the Stakeholder Engagement Plan.
Potential Grievance/Disputes and respective procedure
236. Potential grievances and disputes likely to emerge during the course of Project implementation
may relate to the following respective areas;
7.2.1 Environmental and social issues
i. Poor prevention of increased sediments into streams, ponds and rivers due to
erosion from road tops
ii. Inadequate treatment/control of dust by water or other means during road and
water ponds construction.
iii. Inadequate protective clothes to minimize danger to field workers applying
agro-chemical
iv. Improper management during application of herbicides and pesticides to open
horticulture farms.
v. Water use right NOT clearly defined by recipient Community.
vi. Exclusion and Inclusion error
7.2.2. Vulnerable group issues
i. Disappearing of social and culture issues due to interference with other
communities
ii. Encroachment on and degradation of land, territory and natural resources
iii. Loss of range land and hunting blocks/ areas
iv. Loss of forests in culturally sensitive areas for VG
v. Gender based violence as a result of changes in power relations due to cash for work.
7.2.3. Other Vulnerable Groups
237. Vulnerable persons may be affected during compensation process because of a disability or
other nature of disadvantage, and/or maybe made more vulnerable as a result of the compensation
process. Vulnerable persons may include orphans, persons with disabilities, elderly persons,
HIV/AIDS affected/or infected, widows, widowers, people suffering from serious illnesses, women
and children at risk of being dispossessed of their productive assets-land- as a result of the land
compensation process that may benefit the sole male household head and malnourished children.
Assistance to Vulnerable groups
238. Project intends to provide necessary assistance to vulnerable group as major strategy of safety
mechanism.
(i) Assistance given to vulnerable persons would adhere to the following steps:
a) Identification of person and cause of their vulnerability. This may either come
directly or through the communities’ representation; this step is critical because
often vulnerable people do not participate in community meetings, and their
disability/vulnerability may remain unknown.
b) Identification of required assistance at the various stages of the process including
negotiation, compensation and reallocation procedures;
54
c) Implementation of the above measures;
d) Monitoring and continuation of assistance after reallocation if required
(ii) The type of assistance given to vulnerable may include the following:
a) Assistance in effecting compensation,
b) Assistance in reallocation, providing vehicle, driver and facilitation at the
reallocation stage, providing ambulance services for disable persons during
reallocation process;
c) Assistance in building construction example providing materials and workforce or
building houses;
d) Health care if required at critical periods: moving and transition period.
55
CHAPTER 8: CAPACITY BUILDING FOR ESMF
8.1 Introduction
239. Training and capacity building is instrumental in the realization of the objectives of the ESMF.
Experience gained from implementation of PSSN I intervention shows that there is inadequate
technical capacity at PAA, ward and community level to address environmental and social issues
comprehensively. In many PAAs, there is an employed Environmental Management Officer (EMO)
who handles environmental matters. Given the scope of projects being implemented at the PAA level
it is important to build the capacity of the PAA technical team comprised of various sectors to address
safeguards issues during implementation of the project based on the ESS
240. In this regard, the Program will build the capacity of PAA technical team to handle
environmental and social issues of the Project. This will be done during training of PAA technical
team on PWP implementation guidelines and procedures focusing on Watershed Management and
Integrated Natural Resources Management (INRM).
241. The trained PAA technical team will build the capacity of Wards Extension Staff, and
Village/Mtaa/Shehia Council and Environmental Management Committee and CMCs on Safeguards
Frameworks.
8.2 Capacity building at different levels
242. The capacity building requirements and subsequent functions of various levels is as follows;
National level
243. Since PW and Livelihood Enhancement sub components will be roll-out to full scale, there will
be an increased demand for capacity building to TMU staff and SET members to effectively implement
and monitor Safeguard measures. At National level three Environmental and Social Safeguard Experts
have been hired to monitor safeguard compliance and provide technical support to PAAs during the
implementing of the program. Orientation on the new Environmental and Social Framework to the
TMU staff was done during the Program design as part of capacity building. During the screening of
proposed subprojects, the Environmental and Social safeguard specialists will make use of the
environmental and social guidelines for the selection and design of subprojects as described in the
Technical Manual. Specifically, the safeguard team at TMU will be responsible for:
iv. Ensuring the Program compliance with ESMF requirements, and continually advocate
and raise awareness at all levels.
v. Conduct training and orientation on the requirements of the ESMF to PAAs
vi. Reviewing monitoring reports submitted by the PAAs
vii. Provide technical backstopping to PAA technical team on the compliance of the ESF
viii. Monitoring potential cumulative impacts from Program activities
56
PAA level
244. At this level training will be done on Environmental and Social Standards. The training at PAA
will target technical team which will be formed from a multi-disciplinary team of experts who will
support communities in subproject planning, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. In
this regard, a four days training will be organized to build their capacity during rollout of the Program.
Successive trainings will be carried out in the course of Program Implementation. Objectives of the
training will be:
• To build capacity of PAAs on implementation of ESF and its standards
• Support communities to mainstream environmental and social issues in their sub-
projects.
• Ensure that PAAs have the capacity to assist communities in managing potential
environmental and social impacts
• Strengthen the capacity of other services providers such as Local Service Providers
(LSP) to provide technical support to communities in environmental and social aspects
of the sub-projects.
245. The training will focus among others on National Environmental and Social Management
process, project principles and guidelines, the procedure to be followed under this ESMF, design of
mitigation measures and preparation of ESMP, stakeholder’s consultations in Program
implementation cycle and procedures to monitor mitigation measures, roles and responsibilities and
reporting mechanism. The capacity building activities will be implemented as indicated in Annex 12.
246. Specific training plan will also be developed and implemented at all levels (from national to
village/community level) to ensure minimization of possibilities of discrimination in project
implementation through robust trainings on non-discrimination for all those who play a part in project
implementation, especially including the local committees. Such training will explicitly address
common grounds for discrimination grounded in unconscious or conscious bias, disability, albinism
and any other social status.
8.3 Budget for Capacity Building in Environmental and Social Frameworks
247. Budget to implement ESMF in the Program subcomponents (PWP, LE, Communications etc.)
will be mainstreamed in the respective subcomponents budget. The budget to implement ESMF under
safeguards Unit will cover capacity building, issues such as trainings, backstopping, orientation,
information sharing and awareness raising sessions. it is estimated that about US$ 935,000 will be
required to build the capacity at National and PAA levels
57
ANNEXES
Annex 1: Brief description on the nature and estimated cost for major types of
subprojects
i) Community Ponds and Water and environmental conservation
Subproject types: Earth ponds, hand-dug wells, pans and ponds.
1. Is a structure constructed by excavation of land surface for the objective of making a depression
to harvest rainwater runoff? The excavated soil is used to construct the embankment across the runoff
at the downstream of the depression in order to raise the level of water in the reservoir. The storage
water capacity is obtained entirely by digging, thus the harvested water is mainly used for small water
supply for domestic and livestock use. The recommended height of the embankment is a maximum of
3.0m high, of which 1.0m is used as a freeboard to discharge excess water. Construction of community
ponds follow the following steps; site clearance, removal of top soil, excavation of foundation,
excavation of reservoir/depression, formation of embankment with soil placed and compacted in layers
not exceeding 15cm, construction of spillway and stabilization of embankment e.g. planting of
vegetation cover or stone pitching. All these activities are done using labor.
2. The average estimated cost for construction of community ponds depends on size of the pond.
Generally, the cost of constructing a community pond with a storage capacity of 9,000 cubic metered
water is about USD 16,700, where USD 12,525 is for labor and USD 4,175 is for other inputs like
working tools and protective equipment, construction materials and supervision.
ii) Hand Dug Well
Subproject types: Hand-dug wells, shallow wells.
3. A hand dug well is a manually dug hole in the ground to abstract underground water in an
aquifer with low permeability. It is an economical technique because it only requires physical labor
and using simple tools like a pick and shovel, with a bucket on a rope to remove cuttings. The diameter
of a hand dug well from 0.8m to 1.5 m and a depth of 5m to 10m. It can be lined using stones or pre-
cast concrete rings. Water can be abstracted using bucket and rope, windlass or hand pump.
4. Construction of hand dug well generally follows the following steps; site clearance, digging
through dry earth, construction of casing (wall reinforcement), construction of surface wall and top
cover for preventing runoff entering into the well and construction of drainage systems and fencing.
5. The estimated cost for construction of hand dug well depends on designed width, depth,
availability of construction materials and nature of the soil/rocks. Generally, the estimated cost of
constructing a standard hand dug wells range is USD 1,250 to 2,500, where USD 940 is for labor and
USD 310 is for other inputs or USD 10 to USD 28 per meter in depth.
iii) Spring Protection, Soil and water conservation
Subproject types: bench terraces, gully reshaping, filling and re-vegetation
6. Springs occur where water from an underground aquifer flows out of the ground to the surface
by gravity or can be an artesian spring where the water appears at the surface under pressure from a
58
confined aquifer below. Spring water can be of good quality microbiologically if the spring is well
protected. Spring protection is the improvement of the surroundings through planting of vegetation
or by constructing masonry chamber to facilitate hygienic collection of protected water. The chamber
is constructed using stones and cement aims at increasing the durability of the spring, quantity and
quality of discharged water and protecting the spring from any contamination and soil erosion.
7. Sub-activities which done during spring protection are; site clearance, excavation of storage
tank or water collection chamber, construction of water storage tank or water collection chamber, lying
pipes into the water collection chamber/tank, construction of water fetching chamber and planting of
vegetation.
8. Depending on availability of construction materials, size, type, nature of the spring and its
surrounding environment; estimated cost for spring protection range from USD 764 to 1,488, this
estimated cost includes cost for wages and inputs.
iv) Soil Bunds
Subproject types: Level soil bunds, level fanya juu, stone bunds,
9. Soil bunds are earth structures constructed as a technique for soil and water conservation in
areas with steep and medium slopes and areas prone to soil erosion caused by water flow. The main
purpose of bunds is to slow down the slope and filter runoff water from rainfall and hence reduce soil
degradation. As the water flow is decelerated, higher amounts can infiltrate in the soil, leading to
increased soil moisture. Furthermore, water is spread more evenly, which can prevent gully formation.
Two main types of bunds have been constructed, contour bunds and semi-circular bunds. Bunds can
be stabilized by planting of grasses.
10. Sub-activities associated with soil bund construction includes; site clearance, surveying, laying
out, trenches excavation, bunds formation and compaction, planting of vegetation. The construction
of soil bunds depends on; type of soil, size of the bunds/trenches and nature of vegetation or any
obstacles like stones.
11. The height soil bund ranges from 60cm to 80cm and the space between the bunds depends
slopes of the site which determined during the surveying stage. The estimated cost for soil bund is
USD 0.71 per meter of the soil bund; this estimated cost includes cost for wages and inputs
v) Woodlots, Agro forestry & Multi-purpose tree nursery
Subprojects types: Seed collection from woodlots, homesteads areas and forests, tree/shrub
seedlings and grass nurseries, Restoration of degraded land/area, Gully reshaping, filling and
revegetation, Eyebrow basins, herring bones, improved pits, micro basins, micro trenches, water
collection trenches
12. These are parcel of woodland or forest capable of small scale production of forest product such
as wood fuel. Woodlot also produces timber and non-timber products and used for Agroforest. The
forestry subprojects are implemented into categories of Establishment of tree nurseries and Tree
planting. The Sequential steps in Establishment of tree nurseries are site clearance, Collection of soil
ingredient (top forest soil, manure and sand), sieving and mixing soil ingredients, cutting and filling
of polythene tubes, sowing tree seeds in seed beds, watering, transplant tree seedlings in polythene
tubes.
59
13. In the establishment of tree nurseries, 0.25ha can be produce 100,000 seedlings whereby the
average cost is about USD 10,000.00.
vi) Community Access Roads
Subprojects types: New access (road) construction, foot bridges and culverts, Gravel/Earth road
vii)
14. A community access road is a road which enables traffic to reach a particular area in order to
improve communication for various social, economic and cultural activities. These are constructed to
earth road standards, with necessary drainage structures like mitre and side drains. The standard
dimension for earth road is a minimum of 3.5m wide or 4.5m wide depending on the number of vehicle
passing per day.
15. Sequential steps in access roads construction are setting out, site clearing (bush clearing, top
soil and root removal, trees and boulder removal), earth works, cumber formation, drainage – ditch
excavation, culverts/drift and erosion protection construction, Gravelling – excavation, hauling,
dumping, spreading, watering and compaction. Generally, the cost of earth road is USD 6,000.00,
where 75% of this is for participants labor and 25 % for other inputs like working tools, materials etc.
viii) Small Scale Irrigation
Subprojects type: Catch/cut-off drain, Micro ponds, river bed/permeable rock dams, small scale
drip irrigation, small scale surface irrigation, and hand dug wells
16. Irrigation is the application of controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals.
Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry
areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. Surface irrigation systems using labor intensive,
facilitate water movement across the surface of agricultural lands, in order to wet it and infiltrate into
the soil. The general design of surface irrigation is by using open channel capable of conveying surface
water for irrigation. The estimated cost of a stone masonry lined canal is USD 10,000 per kilometer.
This cost includes 75% being wages for participants and inputs.

Annex 16: Stakeholder Engagement During PSSN II Preparation stage
1. Preamble
Introduction:
Consultation was done at community level to beneficiaries and general public, which mainly
aimed at; 1) to collect information on the Program that would be taken as key lesson learnt
through the implementation of PSSN I, and with those 2) inform the design of PSSN II. The
PSSN II Project Preparation Team (PPT) made a site visits to selected PAAs to collect
stakeholder views on proposed design elements for the new Program phase. Among the
components discussed during the consultation meetings, environmental and social safeguard
was one of area identified for feedback as well as input into PSSN design.
Objective
The objective of Stakeholder consultation was to gather relevant information on
implementation of the Program which will be used to inform the PSSN II design. During the
Stakeholder consultation Process consultation were done to stakeholders to various Program
participants, village leaders, and general public at community level.
Methodology:
This information was gathered through Focus Groups Discussions (FGD) and General
Assembly meetings with community members, including their leaders, NGOs, CBOs, and
affected persons. Discussions focused on potential positive and negative impacts of
implementing PSSN I program and measures to enhancing positive impacts; and
strategies/options to minimize and/or mitigate negative impacts. The meetings also focused
on key issues for priority during the design of PSSN II, which include the stakeholder
engagement strategies and meaningful community participation into Program activities. The
Stakeholder Consultation was also made to most vulnerable groups in the Program, which
include women-headed households, children, elderly, and disadvantaged communities.
2. Key Issues Discussed During Consultation Meetings
On undertaking Stakeholder consultation, information on key issues was discussed as
indicated below:
Meetings with PAAs stakeholders: the meeting with PAA stakeholder was convened to
obtain stakeholder views, sharing experience and lessons learnt in the course of Program
implementation. Other discussed issues include categories of VGs exist in this area, PAA
capacity and gaps in implementing ESMF RPF and VGPF, and secondary data on social
cultural status, including list of NGOs/CBOs working with the communities.
96
Meetings with village key representatives: The consultation meetings were carried out with
village representatives – Village Chairperson, Village Councilors (VCs), Village Executive
Officers (VEO) and Community Management Committees (CMCs) of the Program, who
shared Program implementation progress and challenges encountered. Subjects for discussion
included among other, social cultural characteristics of the community, main source of
livelihood, customary consultation methods and gender aspects in consultation. Other issues
discussed include access to land and other natural resources, needed improvements for
ensuring effective participation and benefits of VG on the program are safeguarded.
Village assembly meetings: the village assembly gathered feedback from all community
members on the implementation of the Program and highlighted areas for improvement during
the PSSN II implementation period. During the meeting discussion focused on feedback from
the meeting with key representatives and individual opinions on environmental and social
aspects of the Program.
3. Stakeholder Consultation Key Findings
A number of key findings were recorded during the stakeholder consultation for PSSN II.
Among the most prominent ones include:
(i) Common Consultation and Participation Methods at Community Level
The community members should be consulted through recognized channels of communication
depending on the type of the group in focus. For normal community members consultation is
done through Village administration. Consultation of people in in specified groups can be
organized by the Village Chairman, Village Executive Officer (VEO) or the VC members.
The Disadvantaged Communities group, consultation is done through respective community
leader; the Hadzabe having Mkuu wa Kambi as the leader of the community while the Datoga
is through clan leader. When approaching these communities, the cultural community leaders
are consulted and informed of intend of having a meeting with entire community. The leader
is then call for a meeting by sending a person to each household informing of the meeting.
When the community gathers, normally under a special tree, the meeting is convened and an
interpreter translates to local language.
For Hadzabe communities, most of the consultations are done in Swahili which is well known
to them; meanwhile the Datoga communities an interpreter is necessary for ease
understanding.
(ii) Usefulness of community session on advocating social safeguard
Community sessions carried out during every payment time highly promoted the application
of social safeguards procedures as it served as the most suitable avenue of disseminating
97
information to beneficiaries on most appropriate use of benefits that may be accrued through
received payments. In this connection, most of expected negative social impacts that would
result from cash payments such as Gender-Based Violence (GBV), incoherent family
situations and petty crimes among beneficiaries’ households were significantly alleviated.
Community sessions also provided guidance on proper use of cash transferred so as enable
beneficiary households improve their livelihood.
(iii) Maintenance of cultural values and identity
The VGs in subgroup of Disadvantaged Communities (DisComs) have particular traditions
and culture that needs to be preserved to safeguard community values. Among objectives of
PSSN implementation include fighting poverty yet safeguarding environmental and social
values of the community. Implementation of the Program includes the DisComs, addressing
poverty in their communities and conserves tradition and culture. It was observed that the
Program did not deny or avert the rights of DisComs practicing cultural activities, hence
encouraged them to continue with their activities and at the same time being beneficiaries of
the PSSN. This makes the Program accepted in different cultures.
(iv) Land ownership and tenure
With reference to nature of the Program beneficiaries, availability, acquisition and ownership
of land has been observed as a challenging issue, especially to subsistent farmers who lack
own land, and hunter-gatherer communities which wander in forests looking for food and
shelter. Steps has been taken to register specific areas of land which is allocated for hunter-
gatherer communities, meanwhile the subsistent farmers continue to rent land for their private
farming activities.
(v) Sources of income for economic activities
Subsistence farming and animal keeping are the main source of livelihood in the villages. The
project offered an opportunity for the beneficiaries to have incomes which allows participating
on the economic activities such as animal keeping, farming, joining savings and credit scheme
and starting small business.
(vi) Increase availability of water
Water is a key resource and vital for sustaining life, the implemented PW subproject of
construction of water ponds has reducing the shortage of water in the villages because the
ponds are used for the different purposes such as domestic and animal use. During the
discussions it was revealed that water ponds constructed were largely done in such a way that
they do not pose environmental and social risks in the community because bylaws on the water
use agreed by the community are followed properly, hence there are no reported cases of water
borne diseases.
(vii) Children wellbeing (health, education and nutrition issues)
98
Challenges on children health, nutrition issues and education are similarly experienced by all
Program beneficiaries. Much has been noted as improvement due to efforts made to insist on
health and education compliance conditions. Due to limited child caring capacity by elderly,
children wellbeing has been a challenging issue as some children are deprived with rights of
access to proper health care, education and adequate nutrition.
4. Recommended Actions
It was recommended that the design of PSSN II should work to enhance the Program core
values observed to promote community development meanwhile safeguarding environment
and social aspects of participants and entire community. It was further recommended that there
should be a strengthened technical assistance at PAA level to enable the Program subproject
activities adequately comply with safeguards requirements as stipulated in ESMF, RPF and
VGPF. During consultation meetings it was also suggested that safeguards tools should be
simplified for ease of documentation procedures.
