1 INTRODUCTION

The Government of Mozambique (GOM) is negotiating with Japan govt. for the
purpose of improving the transport infrastructure in Mozambique and
strengthening the institutional capacity of the road sub-sector, and intends,
through the Administração Nacional de Estradas (ANE), to apply part of the
credit proceeds to eligible payment under the contract for which this request for
proposals is issued.

As a continuation of the Government’s initiatives to improve the quality of the


country’s road network, the GOM, through the Administração Nacional de
Estradas (ANE) and the Road Fund, has begun implementation of a major 10-year
roads program, Roads and Bridges Management and Maintenance Project
(RBMMP or Roads 3). This ten-year program is jointly financed by the GOM and
a variety of donors, including JICA which plays its role among financers for the
sector.

Now the GOM and ANE are preparing the second phase of Roads 3, which will
be a three-year program to begin early 2007. ANE requires consultancy services
in order to prepare the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the
Nampula – Cuamba Road Project. (ROADS 3).

The consultant shall carry out required surveys and relevant activities based on
the legislation and guidelines such as Mozambique’s, Japan International
Cooperation Agency, Japan Bank for International Cooperation and African
Development Bank (hereinafter referred as “the guidelines”). The consultant is
required to read and grasp the guidelines before conducting the study.
The environmental and social consideration activities should also consider and
follow the Environmental Guidelines for Road Works in Mozambique (1997), the
Directive for Road Sector and other Safeguards and documentation, if required.

2 OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the Consultancy is to carry out the Environmental and
Social Impact Assessment for the Nampula – Cuamba Road Project (ROADS
3). The Consultant is deemed to identify projected Impacts and establish
appropriate mitigation measures. Additionally, the Consultant will develop a
monitoring program that will be followed during the project implementation.

Specific Objectives
• To collect required information and data regarding upstream plans, natural
environment, socio-economic environment and relevant data;
• Description of current environmental and social situation and the expected trends
in the presence of the road project;
• Examination of the legal and administrative framework regarding environmental
and social management;
• Analyze the environmental and social impacts utilizing the detailed information
and data gathered in both environmental and social screening stage and initial
environmental and social examination stage on specific substantive parameters
covering the natural, human and social environments, and the activities involved
in road construction, operation and maintenance;
• The preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan;
• The preparation of an Resettlement Plan;
• The development of a Monitoring Program to be followed during the project
implementation

3 SCOPE OF WORKS

The Consultant will carry out a combination of desktop and field studies in order to fully
describe the environmental and social baseline of the affected area. Based on the
knowledge of the affected environment the consultant will identify and describe impacts
and associated mitigation measures for the design, construction and operation phases.

During the study the Consultant take into account issues and concerns raised through the
Public Consultation Process (PCP). These issues and concerns will be incorporated into
the environmental and social analysis.

3.1. Desktop Studies

a) The Consultant will review the national environmental policy, legislation and
directives relevant to the roads sector programme as well as Japanese, AfDB,
World Bank and other relevant Safeguards;

b) The Consultant will analyse 1:250,000 and 1:50,000 vegetation cover, forestry,
topographical and geological maps and soils maps of appropriate scale relevant
to the alignment. Where possible aerial photographs should be analysed. This
analysis will serve the following purposes:

• Topography and landforms (with emphasis on slope gradients in relation


to erosion and sedimentation risk),

• Geology and geomorphology;


• Soils (with emphasis on the distribution of soil types, their aptitude and
erosion sensitivity);

• Land cover and vegetation;

• Vegetation cover and use (with emphasis for the floodplain vegetation
communities grasslands on floodplains, dune communities, mangroves,
etc.)

• Evaluate existing reports and documents to determine the possible


occurrence of plant species of conservation concern and wildlife.

• Describe the salient hydrological features to determine the impact on the


hydrology;

• Make a district-level analysis of the socio economic environment


(demography, land use, commercial and social development).

b) overview of biophysical and socio-economic aspects including areas of


high priority for conservation of natural habitats, formally protected areas
such as national parks, fragile ecosystems, demographics, ethnicity,
gender aspects, HIV/AIDS etc. The Consultant will identify distinct
biophysical/socio-economic zones within the project area of influence,
that would be impacted on.

c) assess ANE capacity and responsibility to implement the EMP, the


Resettlement Plan and its relation with other government institutions and
the private sector to implement, monitor and enforce the relevant
guidelines to undertake Environmental and Social studies.

3.2. Field Work

From the desktop study, the consultant should be able to define with high degree
of certainty the area of influence of the road. The second stage will involve
fieldwork in the area of impact of the project where a visual scoping exercise will
be conducted. The approach adopted will be to first identify the types of
environmental and social impacts that can occur with the project implementation.

The following environmental and social issues will need to be investigated:

consultation will be undertaken with local communities, national and international
NGOs, scientific experts, relevant government agencies (at national, provincial
and district level) and the private sector. The draft recommendations of the study
will be discussed with key stakeholders at workshops to be held. Feed-back from
the workshops will be incorporated in the Final Report.

3.4 Environmental and Social Management Plan

The overall mitigation plan will recommend feasible and cost effective measures
to prevent or reduce significant negative impacts to acceptable levels. The
Consultant will estimate the impacts and costs of these measures. The Consultant
should prepare a short and concise management plan including proposed work
programs, budget estimates, schedules, staffing and training requirements, and
other necessary support services to implement the mitigating measures.
