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

Note-1) Regard to resettlement survey, ANE may provide aerial photograph in 2007
through the Nampula-Cuamba Road Feasibility Study by ANE in cooperation
with JICA. The consultant shall adopt methodologies based on “Resettlement
Policy Framework for the Road Sector, Sep. 2006 World
Bank/ANE(hereinafter referred as “RFP””.
The impacts during design, construction and operational phases must be identified
and evaluated. The predicted environmental and social impacts should be
categorized into primary and secondary effects. The description and quantification
of the environmental and social impact will, where possible, be based on scientific
methods as follow:
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.
The Consultant will analyze issues regarding resettlement. A Census survey of the
expected size of the displaced persons, their socio-economic status including the
value of their assets and other sources of livelihood should be carried out. The
displaced people and the host population should be consulted about acceptable
project alternatives and should be informed about potential impacts on them.
Description of compensation options to be offered and other resettlement
assistance to be provided should be documented and discussed with resettles
including their preferred choice. It would be preferable to use local NGOs in this
process. Institutional responsibilities for implementation of the resettlement plan
including involvement of NGOs in monitoring the plan should be established
including the Schedules and budget for RO implementation.
