EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project
The National Transmission Modernization 1 Project by the Government of Pakistan (GOP)

aims at increasing the availability, reliability and efficiency of selected segments of the
national transmission system in Pakistan. One of the components of the Project includes
investments to develop key power grid stations essential for delivery of power to load
centers in Pakistan. These include the development of a new grid station, known as
‘Islamabad West’ at 30 km west of Islamabad. National Transmission and Dispatch
Company (NTDC) is the executing agency of the Project.
The proposed project (a 765/500/220 kV grid station) will be constructed in village Kamalpur
Miyan Tehsil Fateh Jang, District Attock in Punjab to receive power from Tarbela Fifth
Extension Hydropower Project (T5HP) and Dasu Hydropower Project (DHP). The proposed
site located in Kamalpur Miyan has been selected after an evaluation of three alternative
sites in Kamalpur Miyan, Behlol Pathar Garh and Mouza Chaharat on the basis of
minimizing land acquisition, socioeconomic impacts, technical requirements and ensuring
ease of access. In addition to these three sites another piece of land in Lundi Dhoke Gondal
near village Kot was assessed by the NTDC but later on it was rejected due to the technical
reasons and narrow access.
The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)
The present RAP has been prepared based on 100% census of Affected Persons (APs) in
terms of loss of land, crops, trees, structures and livelihoods. In addition, socio-economic
surveys of affected households were carried out in July 2019 and November-December
2020 to obtain a detailed understanding of the socio-economic conditions of the APs and
to provide baseline data for the monitoring of the implementation of the RAP and the
impacts of the project. The surveys were supported by Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)
with men and women conducted in the project area and consultation with stakeholders.
Project Impact
The project involves the acquisition of 202 acres of agricultural land (mostly wheat and
maize), felling of 83 trees (11 of which are fruit trees) and resettlement of 16 households.
The affected households are 274 and the total number of APs is 1,288. A total sixty (60)
households among the 274 affected ones are considered vulnerable, as their income is
below the official poverty line or are headed by a female. A summary of the impacts is
provided below.

4 Vulnerable households 60 HHs below the OPL and
women-headed HHs
5 APs with impacts on livelihoods 647 APs losing their land while
due to loss of land their livelihood is based on
agriculture
Cut-off date
March 5, 2016 has been established as the cut–off-date for the census survey in the project
area. An additional cut-off date will be set for affected people losing land and assets as a
result of the extension of the road connecting the Grid Station with the Brahma – Bahlol
road. The design of the road extension will be carried out by the Contractor.
Anyone moving to the project site after that date will not be eligible for assistance and/or
compensation. This was communicated to the APs during the consultation meetings.
Section 4 was also issued on March 5, 2016. The invoking of section 4 was also shared
with the APs.
ii
Consultation
The first round of consultation began in October 2015, followed by a second-round during
November 2015 till March 2016. The third round of consultation was carried out in August
2019 for the needs of the revision of the RAP. These consultations were held in a
participatory manner through key informants’ interviews, structured surveys, informal group
meetings and consultative workshops. The main topic discussed included a description of
project components, project activities and their impact assessment; land acquisition and
resettlement process, eligibility criteria, compensation package, entitlement matrix;
grievances redress procedures and general concerns of the APs. In total 275 individuals
attended the consultation meetings, among which 126 women.
A final consultation round was undertaken at the end of November – beginning of

December 2020, in the form of a Workshop where affected people had the chance to
receive up to date information on the progress of the project, voice a number of concerns
and assist the project team to update the socioeconomic profile of the local population.
The general concerns of the APs were focused on the payment of compensation (which
rates will be used), forms of payment, employment in the construction activities, shifting of
grid station site and adequate mechanism for grievance redress. APs were informed that
NTDC is working with the local government to finalize and come up with the replacement
cost of the lost assets and compensation disbursement will commence once the
compensation package is finalized. Similarly, the jobs will be provided preferably to local
people in the construction activities. NTDC has also established a Grievance Redress
Mechanism (GRM) to receive and address the grievances from the APs. APs were also
informed that the land selected for the grid station cannot be changed in this advance stage
as a lot of technical, environmental and social studies has been conducted for this site and
some land has also been purchased through private negotiation. The RAP will be disclosed
to the APs and key stakeholders and posted on the NTDC website and other prominent
places. NGOs (The Citizen Foundation and Al-Khidmat Foundation) were also consulted.
The feedback received from these NGOs includes the preference given to locals for project
hiring and timely payment of compensation to the APs.
Policy Framework
NTDC will follow a mixed method combining the use of eminent domain under the 1894 LA
Act and private negotiations for land acquisition. It is expected that this will help to put the
acquisition process on a fast track for the construction of the grid station. The LA Act has
been used to issue Section 4 to “freeze” the land area from any future transitions. The
NTDC ‘negotiation committee” will take the responsibility for negotiation and agreement
with the land owners on rates. Once the agreement is reached, the agreed compensation
will be disbursed through the NTDC. Should the negotiations fail, NTDC will resort to
applying eminent domain and secure acquisition of the land through the District Collector
by applying Section 4 of the LA Act of 1894. Discussion and negotiations have already
iii
started by NTDC with the committee of the APs to develop a base price for RAP planning
purposes, which is used in the matrix and the budget.
Entitlements
Compensation and various forms of assistance are proposed for the APs in a way that will
ensure their standards of living to at least their pre-project levels. The Entitlement matrix
developed for the APs is given below.

selection for project related employment.
Institutional arrangements
A Project Management Unit (PMU) has been established within NTDC and has been
mandated to manage the design, procurement, and construction activities of the project.
The PMU is headed by the Chief Engineer/Project Director. For the implementation of RAP,
several entities will be involved including the PMU itself, Environment and Social Impact
Cell (ESIC) established within PMU, Project Consultants responsible for design and
construction supervision of the project, relevant government departments, APs, and others.
PMU is responsible for the implementation of RAP in a satisfactory manner and in

compliance with project safeguard policy framework. NTDC will manage all safeguard
related matters through its Camp Office (CO) in coordination with local government. At
PMU level, the ESIC Team will liaise with CO with close coordination of relevant
dept./agencies and affected communities. ESIC will review and prepare safeguard
documents (internal monitoring reports and any Corrective Action Plan (CAP)) according
to approved RAP. For this reason, the ESIC will provide the necessary training and capacity
building to field staff including contractor, consultant, Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)
and APs. An independent monitoring consultant will also be engaged for the monitoring
and evaluation of RAP implementation.
Grievance Redress Mechanism
A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) has been designed and established to ensure
that the complaints and grievances of affected households are addressed and resolved in
a timely and satisfactory manner. A two-tier grievance redress mechanism (GRM) (Project
Level, and NTDC - Head Quarters level) will be established. The APs will first approach
NTDC’s ESIC Team for the redress of grievances. In case the grievances are not resolved
at local level, the case will be forwarded to NTDC HQ level for resolution. If not, aggrieved
persons or disputants can subsequently move to court of law. GRM will ensure the access
of APs to register their complaint and further its resolution that are consistent with local
laws and WB involuntary resettlement policy.
RAP implementation schedule and budget
The RAP implementation schedule for the proposed project includes RAP preparation,
disclosure, disbursement of compensation with its internal and external monitoring,
evaluation and reporting. The construction of Islamabad West Grid Station will be
completed by the end of 2025. Payment of compensation and allowances will be completed
by June 2022 to ensure that compensation is paid prior to commencement of civil works.
Public consultation, internal monitoring and grievance redress will be undertaken
v
throughout the project duration. However, the schedule is subject to modification depending
on the progress of the project activities.
The total RAP budget amounts to PKR 1,260.62 Million (7.5 million USD). The budget
includes land cost of PKR 887.7 Million, crop compensation PKR 18.8 Million, trees
compensation PKR 0.9 Million, compensation for structures PKR 12.3 Million, Allowances
and training cost PKR 34.7 Million, monitoring and evaluation cost PKR 47.8 Million and
contingencies cost PKR 238.8 Million.
RAP monitoring and evaluation
RAP activities under the Project will be subjected to monitoring and evaluation. NTDC will
be responsible for internal monitoring of resettlement activities ensuring that the draft RAP
is finalized and implemented according to approved project policy. The result of internal
monitoring will be included in the monthly progress reports to be submitted to the WB.
NTDC will engage the services of an independent monitor for monitoring of the RAP.
External monitoring and evaluation reports will be prepared quarterly and semi-annually
during the implementation of the project. Based on the external monitoring and evaluation
report, if significant issues are identified, a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) will be prepared.
A post-project audit and evaluation will also be conducted by NTDC once the project
construction work is complete.

of selected segments of the national transmission system in Pakistan. One of the
components of the Project includes investments to develop key power grid stations
essential for delivery of power to load centers in Pakistan. These, among other transmission
lines and grid stations, include development of a new grid station, known as ‘Islamabad
West’ located at 30 km west of Islamabad to receive power from the proposed Tarbela 5th
Extension Hydropower Project (T5HP) and Dasu Hydropower Project (DHP). The power
from both of these projects will be evacuated through a new 500 kV transmission line from
T5HP and 765kV transmission line from DHP to the new Islamabad West Grid Station. The
project will be constructed on private land of Village Kamalpur Miyan, District Attock, (as
shown in Figure 1-1).
A Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) was prepared for the project in 2017, describing the
legal framework for land acquisition and compensation, resettlement and social impact of
the project, socioeconomic baselines of the project affected persons, eligibility and
entitlement, compensation and rehabilitation plan and payment procedure, details of
consultations, institutional arrangements, Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM),
monitoring and evaluation framework and a time bound action plan. The present revision
of the RAP is based on additional surveys carried out in 2019 and 2020 and
addresses technical changes to the project as well as potential changes in the
socioeconomic characteristics of the project area.

Figure 1-3: Typical Grid Station configuration
1.2.3 Bay and other Substation Equipment
A substation “bay” is the physical location within a substation fenced area where the high
voltage circuit breakers and associated steel transmission line termination structures, high-
voltage switches bus supports, controls, and other equipment are installed. Typical component
of substation and their functions are given in Table 1.2.
Table 1-2: Typical Substation Components and their Functions

Equipment Functions
Transformers To step-down or step-up voltage and transfer power from one current to
another. The windings of such large transformers are immersed in
transformer oil, which is a highly refined mineral oil that is stable at high
temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. Its
functions are to insulate, suppress corona and arcing, and to serve as a
coolant for transformers.
Circuit Breakers Automatic switching during normal or abnormal conditions.
Feeder Bay Steel work housing for circuits.
Reactors Equipment for the efficient operation of long transmission power lines as
they compensate the voltage on power lines to avoid uncontrolled voltage
rise, especially on lightly loaded lines.
Isolators Equipment for de-energising a circuit for maintenance and repair.
7
Equipment Functions
Bus bars Incoming and outgoing circuits of the same voltage tie into a common
node called a busbar, which consists of a number of tubular conductors
made of aluminum.
Wave trapper Equipment for trapping communication signals sent via the transmission
lines rather than the telephone network.
Loop-in lines Incoming power lines (connected to bus bars).
Loop- out lines Outgoing power lines (connected to bus bars).
Telecommunication Equipment used for remote communication with the sub-station.
mast
1.2.4 Control Building
One control building is required for the substation to house protective relays, control devices,
battery banks for primary control power, and remote monitoring equipment.
The control building will be a two-store building having approximate minimum dimensions
45mx21m, comprising structural, architectural, electrification, fire protection & detection,
lighting protection, fittings and fixtures, HVAC system (including AC units as per calculation &
requirements of room size), water supply arrangements, sewerage systems, fair face bricks,
wood-work, steel/aluminum work, painting / polishing/ whitewashing, complete in all respects
as per Drawings and Specifications and as per NTDC specification P-draft for civil works.
1.2.5 Rest house / Residential Colony
A Rest house (officer rest house) will be built on one side of the grid station. Common drinking
water supply (through groundwater wells) and sewerage facilities (with septic tanks) will be
established to provide water and sanitation facilities to the rest house. Storm water drainage
facilities will be established both in the grid station site and in the rest house. WHO endorsed
standards on EMF (http://www.who.int/peh-emf/standards/en/ - developed by International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, ICNIRP) will be complied through design
considerations by providing adequate distance from the grid station equipment and the rest
house. Exposure to noise from the grid station equipment will also be evaluated, to comply
with national standards, to provide adequate distance from the grid station and the rest house.
In the future, the rest house may be expanded to a Residential Colony able to house approx.
100 families. The decision on this has not been made yet.
A construction camp to accommodate about 40 to 50 outstation workers will be built within the
proposed grid station area. The camp will include residential quarters, washing areas, kitchen,
toilets, fuel storage, water storage, sewage disposal arrangements, firefighting arrangements,
electric generators, and others.
8
1.2.6 Fencing and Landscaping
A security fencing (a fencing wall) will be constructed around the entire perimeter of the grid
station to protect sensitive equipment and prevent accidental contact with energized
conductors by third parties.
A 3 m buffer zone with plantation will be developed within the acquired area and around the
fence, and landscaping will be carried out wherever allowed.
1.2.7 Access Road
Access to the Grid Station is provided by an existing asphalt road at the south-southeast
boundary of the site, connecting the Grid Station with the Brahma – Bahlol road, approx. 2 km
to the east. This road will need to be permanently upgraded to provide access for personnel,
material deliveries, vehicles, trucks, heavy equipment, low-boy tractor trailer rigs (used for
moving large transformers), and ongoing maintenance activities. Upgrade will involve the
extension of the road for approx. 4m along its length and the improvement of the asphalt layer.
The design of the road upgrade is not available. It will be carried out by the Contractor.
1.2.8 Construction activities
The process for constructing the new grid station will follow standard NTDC practices. The
key activities in the construction process include the following:
• The major civil works in the grid station area will include construction of foundations
and buildings. The raw material required for these constructions are aggregates, sand,
cement and steel. The exact quantities of these materials required for construction will
only be known at the time of design. However, all these materials will be procured from
the market and no quarry site will be developed under this project.
• The steelwork will then be erected. The transformers, circuit breakers, reactors and
other high voltage equipment will be delivered to site, erected and then commissioned.
During construction when the civil works are being carried out (foundations, buildings,
etc.), there would be approximately 100 to 150 people present on the site at any one
time. Depending on the level and nature of construction activity taking place, there will
be varying numbers of people housed on site within a construction camp. This will be
constructed within the proposed grid station facility. Overall, it is estimated that 200 –
250 staff will be employed in various works (civil, installation, electrical, other) during
project construction.
• Construction will commence with the clearing of vegetation and the levelling and
terracing of the ground surface in those areas where heavy electrical transformers and
other switchgear will stand. Once levelled and terraced, the concrete works and
construction of foundations for the supporting steelwork, transformers and other
switchgear will commence. This will also include the construction of storm water
drainage pipes, slabs, bund walls, a control room, small buildings and storage areas
9
that are needed.
• All open areas between the transformer plinths and other switchgear foundations will
be covered with about a 100 mm layer of 25 – 38 mm crushed stone.
• Waste generation from the construction works is estimated to be about 140 kg/day
(considering an average per capita waste generation in Pakistan, which ranges from
0.286 to 0.612 kg/capita/day). These wastes will be disposed at the local municipal
waste disposal sites. Since the project site is located in the wider Islamabad area, the
municipal waste disposal site is already available. No new waste disposal sites will be
developed for the project.
1.2.9 Operation
Grid stations in grid system of NTDC are designed and constructed for operation, supervision
and control by the staff around the clock, unlike the grid system of many developed countries
where the grid stations are remote operated, supervised and controlled at central control
centers.
The operation staff at control rooms of grid stations comprises shift engineers, operators,
attendants, etc. and perform duty in three shifts, i.e., morning shift, evening shift and night
shift. The operation staff supervises and controls the grid station in accordance with the
provisions made in the design and construction of the equipment and transmission lines and
in compliance of the instructions of the system operator.
1.2.10 Implementation schedule
The construction period for the Islamabad West Grid Station is expected to take 36 months.
Construction is expected to start in June 2022 and the station will be ready for commissioning
before the end of 2025.
1.2.11 Current stage of implementation
The detailed design for the substation has been completed and the procurement stage is
currently on-going. The submission of technical bids is expected at the end of September /
beginning of October 2021. The opening of financial bids is anticipated at the beginning of
December 2021. The notification of awards to the successful bidder is planned for the end of
January 2022.
1.3 Analysis of Alternatives
A total of three sites were assessed for the selection of the location of the proposed Islamabad
West Grid Station. All these sites are located in Fateh Jang Tehsil of Attock District. These
are:
• Option 1: Kamalpur Miyan
10
• Option 2: Brahma Pathergarh

• Option 3: Mouza Chaharat
•
The key criteria for site selection included technical suitability and minimisation of
environmental and social issues, as described below:
• Suitable and relatively flat land availability

• Type of terrain
• Easy access to Site
• Environmental issues, including likely sensitive/protected areas or species
• Social Issues, including needs for land acquisition, physical resettlement
The evaluation of the location alternatives on the basis of the above-mentioned criteria is
presented in Table 1-3.

In view of the above-mentioned comparison, the site at Kamalpur Miyan was selected as the
preferred option.
In addition to these sites, another site located at Lundi Dhoke Gondal near village Kot in Tehsil
Fateh Jang District Attock was assessed and conditionally approved for construction of this
grid station by the NTDC. Later on, this site was rejected due to the technical reasons and
also due to the narrow access as the existing road needs widening for the transportation of
heavy trailers for auto transformers and other equipment, hence management decided to go
back to the previously recommended site Option 1 (Kamalpur Miyan).
1.4 The Project Area
For the needs of the RAP, the project area is the footprint of the Islamabad West Grid Station
as well as the area for the widening of the access road that will need to be upgraded. There
are a few residencies living with the project footprint, which consists largely of agricultural land.
The loss of land has impacts on income and livelihood of the affected families who live in the
village of Kamalpur Miyan. Therefore, for the purpose of census and other social data, the
project area has been extended to include the adjacent village of Kamalpur Miyan where APs
are located and reside. Potential socioeconomic impacts to the communities or other
environmental impacts are examined in the project ESIA.
1.5 Project Benefits and Impacts
1.5.1 Socioeconomic benefits
Islamabad West Grid Station is one of the key power grid stations to be developed under the
National Transmission Modernization 1 Project with the aim to increase the availability,
reliability and efficiency of selected segments of the national transmission system in Pakistan.
The construction and operation of the Grid Station is expected to:
• Contribute to further electrification of currently non-electrified areas, strengthening of

the grid and improvement of the quality of electricity supply. These benefits will be felt
at regional and local level, in the form of better quality of electricity supply, voltage
improvement and reduction of outages.
• Generate temporary employment opportunities for local contractors and local labor will
be generated during construction. It is estimated that the project construction will utilize
150-200 staff. Although many of these positions will require specialized skills, there
will be employment opportunities for non-skilled staff. The project will seek to maximize
such opportunities for local labor through special conditions in the bidding documents.
• Create business opportunities for small businesses or people providing goods and
services to project construction or its staff (i.e., machinery, trucks, vehicles, catering,
cleaning and entertainment, etc.) during construction.
12
The project will have positive gender impacts through improved access to electricity or better
electricity supply as improved access to electricity and power will facilitate tasks carried out
by women and girls and thus promote gender equality, women’s empowerment, and girls’
access to education, health care and employment.
1.5.2 Impacts
Adverse project impacts are related to involuntary physical and economic displacement due
to project construction. In specific:
• Loss of land in the footprint of the Grid Station (202 acres). A total of 274 households
(1288 people) are affected;
• Loss of structures in the footprint of the Grid Station. A total of 16 households are
affected;
• Permanent loss of income due to crop and tree loss for Grid Station construction. A
total of 274 households are affected by crop loss and 54 households by tree loss.
• An additional area of approx. 2 acres of agricultural land will be needed for the upgrade
of the access road, the actual figure depending on the road design. No assets /
structures are affected by land acquisition due to road upgrade.
The project addresses these impacts through compensations and livelihood restoration
allowances as explained in subsequent sections of this report.
1.6 Objectives of the RAP
The primary objective of the RAP is, thus, to provide necessary details for compensation by
identifying (i) the extent of losses; (ii) the policy framework for compensation payments,
income restoration, (iii) eligibility and entitlement (iv) mechanisms for timely disclosure of
information to the APs and other stakeholders (v) institutional arrangements for participation
and implementation; (vi) grievance redress mechanism; (vii) responsibilities for monitoring the
implementation process and (vii) resettlement budget and implementation schedule, and
monitoring and evaluation. The RAP thus complies with WB OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement
Policy and address largely physical and economic displacement aspects in the context of the
project.
1.7 Outline of the RAP
The RAP is structured as follows:
• The present chapter presents an overview of the project, its location, the benefits and
impacts associated with it as well as the objectives of the RAP
13
• Chapter 2 focuses on the project impacts in terms of land acquisition and loss of
structures, crops and trees and livelihood related impacts. It also discusses the
significance of these impacts to APs.
• Chapter 3 discusses the socioeconomic profile of the affected population as it was

derived by the census and socioeconomic survey carried out by the social/census
teams. It addresses issues related to demography, income, sources of income, land
holding, assets, etc.
• Chapter 4 analyses the applicable national legal and institutional framework related to
land acquisition and compensation for lost assets, as well as its compliance with WB
OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. It goes on to discuss the negotiations of land
purchases and how the legal framework applies to this particular case, compulsory
acquisition needed under eminent domain and what is the process of compensation to
be employed.
• Chapter 5 discusses the approach to stakeholder consultation and the main outcomes
of it, in particular with regard to stakeholder concerns and how the project addresses
them.
• Chapter 6 describes the livelihoods restoration adopted by the project in order to

improve or at least restore the livelihoods of affected persons.
• Chapter 7 discusses the institutional setup for RAP implementation
• Chapter 8 presents the grievance redress mechanism setup by NTDC to collect and
address grievances by the project stakeholders
• Chapter 9 outlines the cost of RAP implementation
• Chapter 10 presents the provisions for monitoring and evaluation for RAP
implementation

2 PROJECT LAND REQUIREMENTS AND IMPACTS
Land acquisition and the related impacts were assessed based on the census of affected
population, identification of affected assets, consultations with APs and general public at
village Kamalpur Miyan. The first census of IW Grid Station was carried out in 2016. The
census was revised in July 2019 and was further confirmed in November-December 2020
based on the revenue records and field surveys. Details on land acquisition and impacts are
illustrated below.
2.1 Description of the Land Area Required
Project construction and operation will require the acquisition of 202 acres of land close to the
village Kamalpur Miyan, approx. 30 km west of Islamabad, in the District of Attock. Almost all
the affected land is used for agriculture.
2.2 Types of Impacts
2.2.1 Impact on Land
The project requires the acquisition of 202 acres of (private) land owned by 647 individuals
(as per the Revenue Land Records) belonging to 274 affected households (1288 affected
persons), located in Kamalpur Miyan of district Attock. Almost all the affected land is used for
agriculture. The average land loss per owner is shown in Table 2-1, where it is shown that
92% of the APs are losing less than 1.0 acre of land.
Table 2-1: Details on land to be acquired

2 1.0 – 3.0 38 6
3 3.0 and above 11 2
Total 647 100
Source: Field Survey (2019, 2020)
The 2020 survey showed that 21 out 41 households, (i.e., 51%) lose more than 10% of their
land holding while agriculture is their main source of income. The impact for these households
is severe.
2.2.2 Impact on Crops
Almost all the proposed area for acquisition is under cultivation. Major crop is reported to be
wheat in Rabi season; the average (per acre) yield of wheat crop is 1024 kg. The estimated
production is given in Table 2-2.

2.2.3 Impact on Trees
The inventory survey results indicate that the project will have impact on 83 trees. These are
mostly Acacia trees and Guava. All trees are having 1 to 2 feet girth. Their location in the Grid
Station area is shown in the figure below.

2.2.4 Impact on Structures
The project will have impact on 16 built structures located in the project area. A total of 37
rooms and cattle sheds are included in these structures. Out of them, 30 are Pacca and 7 are
Kacha structures. The structures are constructed on an area of 0.8 acre. The location of the
built structures in the project area is shown in the figure below.
16
Figure 2-2 Built structures in the project area
The project will also require the dislocation of 8 tube wells used for irrigation purposes. These
tube wells are owned by 8 different owners.
2.3 Impacts on Livelihoods
Given that the project area comprises fertile land, subject to intensive cultivation, the project
will have significant impact on the livelihood of affected people losing their productive land,
provided that agriculture is their primary source of income. The census showed that almost
647 APs (land owners) are losing their land holding while agriculture is their main source of
income. The impact to these persons is severe.
2.4 Vulnerability Impact
Field investigation has shown that the project has impact on a number of low- income families,
calculated at 10% of affected households. These families are earning less than the official
poverty line of PKR 26,000/month. These families/households are considered vulnerable for
the purposes of this RAP. In addition, women-headed households comprise 12% of affected
households; they are also considered vulnerable for the purposes of this RAP.
2.5 Public Infrastructure
The project will need to upgrade the existing access road (approx. 2 km) connecting the grid
station site to the Brahma – Bahlol road. Upgrade will involve extent of the road (by an
estimated 4 m) and improvement of asphalt layer. The design of the road is not currently in
17
place, so it is not known if the road will be extended on one side or both. And although there
are a few residential structures along the road, the extension can still take place without
affecting them. It is therefore assumed that road extension will affect only agricultural land.

3 SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE
3.1 General
A socioeconomic survey was carried out in July 2019 in the project area, village Kamalpur
Miyan, to obtain a detailed understanding of the social and economic conditions of the APs
and to provide baseline data for monitoring of RAP implementation and the impacts of the
project. The main objective was to analyze socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of the
population in the project area in order to understand their interrelationships, social dynamics,
and inequalities and to identify opportunities and constraints in accessing project benefits.
This also included those with special characteristics (based on gender, ethnicity, level of
income, geographical remoteness etc.).
A second survey was carried out in November – December 2020, in order to verify existing
information from the first survey and update the findings.
3.2 Methodology
The methodology adopted for the 2019 socioeconomic survey included: a review of secondary
information including official records and statistics, such as the Population Census Report
(2017) of district Attock; complete survey of the households affected by land acquisition. The
survey used a pre-structured questionnaire (see Annex A) aimed at registering and
documenting the number and status of affected persons likely to be physically or economically
displaced as a result of the project and, therefore, entitled to compensation.
Primary sources of information included Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with selected
households in village Kamalpur Miyan, individual interviews with APs and key informants and
transect walk in the area, which helped the survey team to physically observe the socio-
economic conditions in the project area. The key variables covered in the surveys and
qualitative interviews included (i) identification of the affected population; (ii) demography, (iii)
social organization (iv) literacy level, (iv) occupational structures, (v) income and expenses
levels, (vi) access to public services, (vi) personal property, (vii) project’s impacts on the poor,
indigenous and/or ethnic minorities, and other vulnerable groups, (viii) identification of gender
and resettlement impact and (ix) impacts, priorities and needs of the women.
The 2020 survey was based on a sample of the total population comprising 65 individuals from
41 affected households (192 affected persons in total). These people attended two workshops
carried out in Wah Cantt at the end of November and beginning of December. The aim of the
2020 survey was to verify existing information and record likely changes.
3.3 Identification of AHs
Any household (and/or person), whose land, asset/infrastructure, source of income or access
to resources/workplace is likely to be affected by the project’s operations, is an AP. These
include mainly the residents, owners and users of land or assets/structures within the
19
substation footprint or the associated infrastructure. The total number of such affected
households is 274 (1288 affected persons 1).
During the 2020 survey, 41 HHs were surveyed totaling 192 affected persons. NTDC decided
to undertake the 2020 survey in order to capture a more accurate snapshot of the
socioeconomic conditions of the AHs, especially with regard to parameters such as
employment or income (and thus vulnerability) which present very dynamic characteristics in
an area close to the capital. In general, data from 2020 survey corroborate data from the
previous (2016/2019) surveys. In any case, the rest of the analysis in this section will be based
on data from 2020 survey as this data is very recent and therefore more accurate.
3.4 Profile of the Respondents
Table 3-1 shows that all surveyed HHs belong to rural area, Village Kamalpur Miyan.

3.5 Demographic Data
Household surveys were carried to understand the demographic and socio-economic

characteristics of the population in the project area. According to the household census data
(274 affected households), the female population is slightly higher (52%) compared to male
population (48%) in the project area. These findings are corroborated by the results of the
2020 survey where the female population was 100 out of 192 total population or 52%. The
data regarding the distribution of affected people by age is presented in Table 3-3.

In term of education distribution, only approx. 1% of the respondents were reported illiterate
(respondents have had Deeni (religious) education). The majority had some degree of
education, with a notable 8% having a post-graduate degree. The results are shown in
Table 3-4.

3.7 Ethnicity, Tribes, Language and Religion
In the project area, in village Kamalpur Miyan, Awan are dominant (60%), followed by the
Khattar (26%), Khan (10%) and the Kashmiri (4%). All of the surveyed households are Muslim
by religion and they communicate in the same language.
21
3.8 Livelihood Sources
From the 192 affected persons (belonging to the 41 surveyed households), 64 have some
form of occupation (33%). From those, 37 (58%) have one source of income, 25 (39%) have
a second job and 2 (3%) have a third job.
The main occupation reported comprises agriculture, employment in government services,

operating own private business such as running a grocery, livestock rearing, tailor, etc., driver,
lawyer, and pensioners. Details are presented in Table 3-5.
Agriculture is the most dominant occupation in the area with 40% of the affected people
depending on farming as the primary source of income. In most of the cases though,
agriculture is complemented by a secondary source of income, such as live stock or pension
(ex-army or ex-government employee).

3.9 Household Income
Table 3-6 shows that 10% of the surveyed households fall in the income category of less than
PKR 25,000 which is below the OPL level which is PKR 26,000 2. This is below but relatively
close to the average Punjab figures for poverty (approx. 14%).
2 According to the National Poverty Report 2015-16, issued by the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reform, using Cost of
Basic Needs (CBN), the poverty line is 3,250.28 (Rs. per adult equivalent per month). Taking the average (for Pakistan) household
size of 6, the poverty line of a household is calculated as 3250.28 x 6 = PKR 19,502/- per household. When inflation is taken into
account (4.09% for 2017, 5.08% for 2018, 10.58% for 2019 and 9.74% for 2020) the OPL is calculated as (approx.) PKR 26,000/-
per month per HH.

3.10 Household Possessions
The possession and use of household durable goods have multiple effects and implications.
For instance, access to satellite dish or television helps household members to remain
updated about daily events, information, and educational materials. Similarly, a refrigerator
prolongs food storage and keeps food fresh and healthy. Ownership of transportation allows
greater access to services away from the local area and enhances social and economic
activities.
The survey results corroborate the findings of the household income and suggest a population
of average or above average buying potential. The majority of the households surveyed
possess domestic household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, electric
irons, etc. Almost all households possess LCD TV sets, while few have more than one. Mobile
phones are widespread, with 2.8 phones per household on average. Vehicles are less
widespread, with 17% of the households owning one.
3.11 Land Holding
Land is the major determinant of agricultural income and big holding size is the symbol of
dignity and honor in the rural set up. All surveyed households are land owners.
Generally, the affected people have small land holdings, as approx. 83% have less than 5
acres (in fact 44% have less or close to 1 acre). None had more than 15 acres. In addition,
the land holding size is decreasing with time due to inheritance fragmentation in the rural area.

3.12 Crops, Fruits and Vegetables
As per Table 3-8, the major crop of the area is wheat, with maize and vegetables, especially
peas and cabbage, contributing to a smaller extent. Others crops like fodder gram, ground
nuts, oil seeds, lentil are also grown. Fruits are generally not grown in the project area. The
dominance of wheat is explained by the fact that the area is rainfed. Some tube-wells have
been installed to irrigate vegetables and fodder crop.

Vegetables 5 4,435 399,150 228,000 171,150
3.13 Livestock
According to the field survey, Buffalos and cows (mostly), goats, sheep and donkey are the
common livestock in the area. Table 3-9 shows the number of animals and their market value.
Table 3-9: Livestock in the project area

Livestock HH Number Average market Value

Buffalos 21 105 120,000 - 220,000
Cows 25 90 100,000 - 175,000
Sheep / goats 8 40 40,000 - 75,000
Donkeys / horses 7 18 20,000 - 100,000
The fact that more than 50% of the surveyed households are involved in livestock breeding
shows that this is a common income source. However, in very few cases livestock is the main
or the primary income source. It is usually a secondary income source for those having
agriculture as primary occupation.
3.14 Access to Infrastructure
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is essential for health, security, livelihood, and
quality of life, and is especially critical for women and children. Improved water supply and
sanitation interventions could thus provide a wide range of benefits like longer lifespan,
reduced morbidity and mortality from various diseases, and low health costs.
Table 3-10 lists the available social amenities in the project area.

Table 3-10 indicates that all surveyed households enjoy basic amenities such as the
connection to potable water, electricity and gas. Some of these amenities are not at the
desired level of quality, such as road connection, access to education (primary and
secondary), access to waste and wastewater management services.
Health facilities in the project area are not adequate as people have to travel to Bahtar to
access basic health and hospital facilities.
3.15 Housing
The typical residential structures comprise pucca or semi-pucca houses. Pucca houses are
constructed with bricks, cement and concrete, with wooden and steel doors and windows.
Semi pucca houses are made of bricks (joint with mud) and their roofs are mostly of wood,
and partially bricks. All surveyed households live in pacca houses.
25
3.16 Gender Analysis
3.16.1 Female participation in economic activities
The participation of women in different activities was assessed as part of the survey. Given
that the surveyed individuals (2020 survey) were predominantly male, the results of the survey
also reflect the anticipated position of women in the household and society.
As shown in Table 3-11 women are mostly (and expected to be) active in housekeeping and
child caring where they undertake all decision-making. Women are also active in social events
of everyday life, like marriages, where their view is considered equally weighted as that of
men. In economic life, women are expected to contribute to livestock management at
household scale.
Table 3-11: Women Participation in Various Activities

Activities Participation Decision

Housekeeping 100% 100%
Child caring 100% 100%
Farming 0% 0%
Livestock 25% 0%
Sale / Purchase of property 0% 0%
Social obligations (marriage, birthday & other functions) 50% 50%
Local Representation (councilor /political gathering) 0% 0%
The above survey analysis is further supported by the results of focus group discussions. As
reported, the daily work of a female is housekeeping, child rearing, and fetching water, laundry,
cooking and taking care of livestock and other social obligations like marriage, birthday & other
functions. Females are expected to meticulously follow the cultural tradition of modesty, which
is the main factor constraining participation of women in the social activities.
In reality, the situation with regard the position of women in society is changing, although at
slow pace. The analysis of occupation of women in the 41 surveyed households has shown
that a 10% (i.e., 10 women out of 100) are working in the services sector.

3.16.2 Concerns of Women related to the Project
Due to the nature of the project, it was not considered to offer any benefits to women at a
professional level. Instead, their concerns were mostly related to likely restrictions during
construction or to opportunities that NTDC could materialize in the form of community
assistance. In specific, during the socioeconomic survey, women of the project area pointed
out the following major issues relating to project activities:
• Care should be taken to ensure that, despite the potential presence of foreign workers,
the local population, especially women and children, will be able to be engaged in their
routine activities (i.e., school, shopping) during construction activities;
• Fair compensation should be provided for the acquired land. In addition, as

compensatory measures, employment to the men of the affected households should
be provided.
• The current rate of women involved in commercial activities is still low. Women have
requested that training should be provided to improve their skills in handcrafts or other
work that can be done in house, for domestic or commercial use.

4 LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK
4.1 General
This chapter outlines and reviews the existing legislations, policies and presents the legal and
policy framework to be used in the land acquisition for the Islamabad West Grid Station. The
dual approach to acquisition using the LA Act of 1894 and negotiation for land purchases and
the mode of payments directly from NTDC is clearly explained. This is done to expedite the
process and to fast track the acquisition with full compliance of the WB OP4.12 Involuntary
Resettlement Policy in terms of rates and negotiated packages for acquisition of land for the
project.
4.2 National Legal Instruments
4.2.1 Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
The Constitution of Pakistan (1973) clearly addresses the protection of property rights (Article
24) that it includes “no person shall be compulsorily deprived of his property in accordance
with law” and “no property shall be compulsorily acquired or taken possession for a public
purpose, and by the authority of law which provides for compensation” therefore and either
fixes the amount of compensation or specifies the principles on and the manner in which
compensation is to be determined and given. Further, Article 4 (sub-clause/a of 1) reiterates
the legislative right of the people by stating that: “No action detrimental to the life, liberty, body,
reputation or property of any person shall be taken except in accordance with law.
4.2.2 The LA Act (1894) and Limitations
The LA Act of 1894 is the principal legal instrument for land acquisition for public purpose
project in Pakistan. The Act lays down detailed procedures for acquisition of land and
payments of compensation, but falls short of the standards required in terms of replacement
costs and other support such as resettlement and livelihood aspects associated with
displacement. The Act has 55 sections with a long-drawn process that requires, as
experiences suggest, two or more years for land acquisition. Further, the Act does not provide
for equal or enhanced living standards to the project affected persons. Due to the challenges
encountered during the application of the Law, NTDC authorities are becoming also more
cognizant of the limitations of the law and its coherence with other international standards and
the need to ensure its consistency with the provisions of the World Bank policies.
4.3 Gap Analysis between Land Acquisition Act and World Bank Policies
The LAA of 1894 is the national legislation applicable for land expropriation in the province,
whereas OP 4.12 provides the WB’s policy principles and requirements relating to involuntary
resettlement. A comparison of land acquisition under LAA 1894 and the World Bank OP 4.12
on Involuntary Resettlement shows that major differences exist between the two instruments.
28
Error! Reference source not found.An attempt has been made to compare the LAA 1894
and OP 4.12, the objective being to identify if and where these sets of procedures are in
conformity with each other and more importantly how to address the differences and gaps

4.4 NTDC Practices, Framework for LA and Valuation
For transmission line projects, NTDC uses the WAPDA Act 1958, Electricity Act 1910 and
Telegraphic Act 1885, and avoids any acquisition of land; instead of permanent acquisition,
land is required temporarily and all kinds of losses are considered for compensation. The Dasu
Transmission Line Project (DTLP) has taken this approach. However, for substations such as
the Islamabad West GS, there is need for permanent land acquisition.
For permanent land acquisition, NTDC practice is to use the eminent domain, (i.e., LA Act of
1894) and in some cases the private negotiation. The experience of NTDC with the private
negotiations and the eminent domain alone is not good as there are many issues related to
the transfer of land which causes lot of delay in the acquisition process and similarly in the
other method, low land rates given by the District administration are also not fascinating.
To cater these issues in Islamabad West GS, NDTC intends to follow a mixed approach. NTDC
has followed the national legal framework, (i.e., LA Act of 1894) to acquire and “freeze” the
land area by Section 4/1894 Act for project development through the use of “eminent domain.”
The application of the Act helps to secure the availability of land without dispute. The rest of
the process – for example, compensation rate etc. - are determined through consultation and
negotiations, taking into consideration the replacement cost including market value and other
associated costs. In such a case, the application of the LA Act (1894) remains limited to
notification by the District Collector for acquisition of land for public purpose project. In case
land acquisition process through private negotiation fails, NTDC will resort to applying eminent
domain and secure acquisition of the land through the District Collector by applying LA Act of
1894.
Under the negotiations concept, and following the notification, NTDC will constitute, as per the
NTDC Guidelines, a five-member committee to purchase private land through negotiation for
the Islamabad West GS. The processes work out as follows.
• First, the NTDC Committee engages with the land owners.
• Second, NDTC has qualified technical and field staff mostly on deputation from the
revenue department to carry out valuation of assets.
• Third, once the land is identified, the value of land is determined by the Committee
through a series of meetings and negotiations with individual owners and community-
level meetings.
• Fourth, if there is any building, crop, fruit bearing trees or any other immovable
structure on the land, then its value assessed is referred to the concerned
departments/agencies.
• Fifth, NTDC/PMU employs patwaris (surveyors) to assist the Committee to determine

boundaries, location, size and area of the land to be purchased. Patwari will prepare
31
land record including ownership genealogy, rights and interests held in the land, and,
estimated value of improvements to land in consultation with the landowners. This is
typically done over a period of several months.
• Sixth, following the completion of the valuation of assets for negotiation (includes land,
crops, trees, and other assets) as well as compensation package and entitlements, the
compensation payment is disbursed directly by NTDC to the affectees.
In case the negotiations fail, i.e., parties do not agree on rates or parties refuse to take part in
the process, the LA Act (1894) will be used fully to complete the entire acquisition process.
The land which will be acquired under this policy will be registered in the name of NTDC.
In the case of married couples/households, the compensation will be paid to the one who owns
the assets. If these assets are jointly owned by couple, then the amount is paid to both the
parties. However, when assets are owned by single/unmarried/separated women, they will
receive compensation directly. Compensation will be paid through cross cheque to the entitled
individuals. In case of married couples, if assets are jointly owned then the amount is paid to
both the parties. These provisions for payments were also discussed during consultation with
women.
4.5 Compliance of WB OP 4.12 IR Policy
World Bank OP 4.12 3 encourages the purchase of land through negotiation based on pre--
displacement market value of land to be expropriated through full compensation at
replacement cost, independently with advance public notice, negotiation and right of appeal.
The processes undertaken in the Islamabad West GS complies with OP 4.12 IR Policy
guidelines. As explained earlier, the entire processes of land acquisition through private
negotiation, demonstrate both the legitimacy of the processes and ensure transparency from
the part of NTDC. The rights to compensation is extended to owners, tenants, workers, or any
person who can demonstrate any interest lost as a result of expropriation, including provisions
for grievances and disagreement on the agreed price and packages.
In this project, the determination of compensation for land is based on negotiations with the
affectees, based on recent market data (September, 2019) as the basis; and the rates are
eventually above market value. For other land-based assets (trees and crops), consultation
with the relevant government departments (forestry, agriculture) was done. Finally, in case of
delay in RAP implementation, the compensation will be adjusted as per the inflation rate.
3 As of October 1, 2018, the new WB ESF applies to all new World Bank investment projects. Under
the WB ESF 2018, ESS5: Land Acquisition, restrictions on land Use and involuntary resettlement
replaces OP4.12. However, with existing projects continuing to apply the Safeguard Policies, the two
systems will run in parallel for an estimated seven years.
32
Further, to minimize the gaps and to comply with the OP4.12 requirements, the RAP policy
has taken measures – for example, analysis of gender issues, consultation with women and
other vulnerable groups, grievances/dispute resolution, and livelihood restoration measures
so that affected persons can regain and restore their livelihood in post-project period.
4.6 Reflections and Lesson Learned
In this project, based on past transmission line project implementation experiences, the
following are highlighted as “lesson learned,” for better management and implementation of
the Islamabad West GS.
Timely arrangement of funds for avoiding delays in compensation payment:

Resettlement and land acquisition issues should be dealt with arranging funds for the timely
disbursement of compensation payment to avoid protracted delays. The delay in payment of
compensation can delay the implementation of the whole project and can deteriorate the
community and implementing agency relationship. NTDC has faced this problem in several of
its transmission and distribution projects. Keeping this lesson in view, funds are earmarked for
compensation payment before the commencement of work without any impediment to avoid
APs grievances. This should expedite the project implementation tasks.
Direct purchase of private land through private negotiation for the Islamabad West Grid
Station: For public interest projects, the use of LA Act of 1894 has caused delays due to
difficulties in assessing market or replacing value under the Act. Experiences with past project
have shown this time and again. Private negotiation of land has proven to be more effective
and expeditious in comparison to land acquired through eminent domain. Keeping this in view,
NTDC has planned to use private negotiations for this project. Accordingly, NTDC has
established a high-powered Committee for Land Acquisition for all transmission projects to be
funded by international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the Asian
Development Bank. However, as a last resort in case negotiations fail to arrive at mutually
accepted compensation rates or affected persons refuse to take part in the process, the
application of eminent domain will remain an option.
As the negotiations with the land owners were not successful, now NTDC is moving towards
the eminent domain in a fast track. The rate of land will be increased and dispersed through
the district administration. The district administration has promised to complete the
disbursement of compensation and hand over the land to NTDC by mid-2022.
4.7 Entitlements
Based on the policy review and impacts identified in previous chapters, the following affected
persons would be eligible for compensation and resettlement assistance as per the policy
framework:
Land impacts will be compensated as follows:
33
(a) Permanent Losses: Compensation will be paid at the negotiated rate after
agreement with the affected community and the households to legal owners as well as
those with customary rights. The negotiated package will be over and above the market
price.
All Other Assets and Incomes:
(a) Crops will be compensated at the full market rate for one year of harvest including
both rabi and kharif seasons.
(b) Trees will be compensated based on the market value of the wood production,
having taken due consideration of the future potential value for three years.
(c) Structures will be compensated in cash at replacement cost. Any transaction costs
will also be paid. Materials that can be salvaged are allowed to be taken by the
owner, even if compensation has been paid for them.
(d) Relocation Allowance will be paid to those affected households physically

relocated as a result of the project. It will cover transport expenses (PKR 5,000)
and livelihood expenses for three months (PKR 78,000 per household)
Impacts to livelihood will be compensated as follows:
(a) Livelihood Disturbance Allowance will be paid to those affected households

losing their land holdings while their livelihood is based on agriculture. This
allowance will be equal to the market value of gross harvest of the affected land
for 1 year (inclusive of winter and summer crops).
Vulnerability will be compensated as follows:
(a) Vulnerability Allowance will be paid to vulnerable APs, i.e., households earning
below the OPL or are women-headed. It will comprise one time subsistence
allowance amounting to PKR 78,000 per eligible household.
4.8 Entitlement Matrix
The entitlement matrix is developed based on the above discussed eligibility criteria, nature of
losses and implementation issues of the proposed project in consultation with the APs.

4.9 Cut-Off Date
Eligibility for entitlements is limited by an officially declared and publicized cut-off date. Cut-
off-Date is the date when the Section 4 is published in the provincial gazette as per the LAA.
The cut-off-date was discussed with the implementing agency and the affected people and
announced during the survey as well as consultation meetings. Any one moving to the project
site after the cut-off-date would not be eligible for any compensation and/or assistance under
the project.
The cut–off date in this RAP is March 5, 2016. This was published in the Punjab Gazette
in March 22, 2016.
An additional cut-off date will be set for affected people losing land as a result of the extension
of the road connecting the Grid Station with the Brahma – Bahlol road. This will take place
when the road design is implemented.
36
5 Livelihood Restoration
The forms and levels of livelihood restoration assistance vary and will be commensurate with
the duration, level and severity of impacts on livelihoods and productive assets as well as
vulnerability of the APs. The APs entitled for livelihood restoration assistance are all APs who
suffer severe impacts (i.e., land loss more than 10% of their income generating land holding)
or are vulnerable.
5.1 Livelihood Disturbance Allowance
All affected persons losing their income generating land holding and have agriculture as their
main occupation will receive livelihood disturbance allowance in addition to the compensation
that they are entitled. This allowance will be equal to the market value of gross harvest of the
affected land for 1 year (inclusive of winter and summer crops).
5.2 Vulnerability Allowance
All vulnerable affected households will be provided vulnerability allowance at the rate of
PKR 78,000 /Household, (i.e., PKR 26,000/month for 3 months). Vulnerable APs will also be
given priority in project–related employment opportunities as support staff, drivers, clearing,
skilled and unskilled labor. To this end, the NTDC will incorporate clauses in the contracts of
civil works contractors that they will give preference to vulnerable and other project APs while
recruiting personnel. The compliance to this effect will be presented regularly in the internal
monitoring reports.
5.3 Training and Employment
In addition to livelihood allowance, the project has made provisions for training, focusing on
strengthening the skills of APs who could be more productive in agricultural activities or be
able to exploit job opportunities that will be generated by the project.
Training will take the form of a two to three-day training at the project location to be provided
by the contractor on skills that will facilitate APs to be employed during project construction.
Alternative training will be provided by local specialists or NGOs employed by NTDC on
efficient agricultural practices, to those APs wishing to continue land cultivation. NTDC will
also hire a local specialist to provide training to women on embroidery and other home-based
work and provide support to women for gainful work.
The contractors will be required to hire local skilled and unskilled laborers. The training part
will be included in the conditions of contract for the contractor with adequate provisions to
develop local skills and capacity.

6 STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION AND RESPONSES
6.1 General
This chapter describes the project stakeholders, their views towards the Project and the
process adopted in consulting affected households and communities on relocation and
resettlement, impacts assessment, socio-economic and physical losses due to construction.
6.2 Mapping of Stakeholders
Project stakeholders – both primary and secondary (Table 6-1) – include the APs and
beneficiaries in the project, NTDC and other related government departments/agencies,
district administration, the local governments in Attock, contractors, construction workers, in-
migrants and followers, supply/service providers, financing institutions like the World Bank,
mass media/civil society members, consultants and project advisors.

advisors
6.3 Consultation with Stakeholders
Dialogue and consultation with stakeholders including APs is very critical for successful
resettlement and/or compensation of the affected assets. The process of consultations will
continue until implementation of the RAP is completed. In the process of preparing this RAP,
extensive consultations were undertaken with the APs with the objectives to:
• Share information with APs about the Project, its activities, latest interventions in
project development;
• Elicit the views of APs about the selected process of land acquisition, (i.e., through
negotiations) and the compensation process;
• Disseminate the impacts of the project in terms of land acquisition, people affected and
measures proposed to minimize the impacts, entitlements, eligibility and community
access over the GRM;
38
• Obtain the co-operation and participation of the APs in the negotiation process and
RAP implementation
• Ensure transparency in all the project activities through sharing information
During these consultations, the communities were encouraged to (i) be open and voice their
concerns and claims; (ii) to learn about GRM for lodging complaints; and (iii) allow and give
the necessary assistance to the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) team during the RAP
implementation. After the preparation of the payment schedules and actual payment, NTDC
personnel will continue to conduct a series of consultations and counseling of the APs.
6.4 Consultation Approach and Framework
The guiding principle underlying consultations is that the social safeguards planning and
implementation must follow a consultative and participatory process to ensure success of the
project. This was further reinforced by the requirements of the World Bank OP 4.12 and Bank’s
Access to Information Policy (2010), which give high priority to public consultation and
participation in designing and implementation of a socially and environmentally compliant
project (see Table 6-2).

of references to the need for Public involvement.
 OP.4.01, Clause 14, notes that for all Categories A and B projects
proposed for IBRD or IDA financing, during the EA process, the
borrower consults project-affected groups and local
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) about the project's
environmental and social aspects and takes their views into
account. The borrower initiates such consultations as early as
possible. For Category A projects, the borrower consults these
groups at least twice: (a) shortly after environmental screening and
World Bank
before the terms of reference for the EA are finalized; and (b) once
a draft EA report is prepared. In addition, the borrower consults with
such groups throughout project implementation as necessary to
address EA-related issues that affect them.

resettlement; (iii) APs may be involved in the planning,
implementation, and monitoring of the resettlement program,
especially in the process of developing and implementing the
procedures for determining eligibility for compensation benefits and
development assistance; (iv) Establish appropriate and accessible
grievance mechanisms; and (v) Particular attention be paid to the
needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially
those below poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and
children or other displaced persons who may not be protected
through national land compensation legislation.
 WB Access to Information Policy (2010) – RAP should be disclosed
to the APs for local inputs, including documentation of the
consultation process, in a timely manner, before appraisal formally
begin, in an accessible place and in a form and language that are
understandable to key stakeholders. All documents will be
disclosed in a language that the community and APs understand.
The consultation and participation adopted include: (i) a public participation and consultation
mechanism established in the early scoping stage for effective public participation (ii)
compensation rates at replacement cost formulated through extensive consultations in
transparent manner ensuring smooth implementation of relocation and income rehabilitation.
As part of the project preparatory work, detailed consultations were carried out through village
meetings and focus group discussions (FGDs) with the communities including women in the
project area. Details of this consultation process are described below.
6.5 Consultations Conducted
Public consultations and information disclosure sessions took place during different time
periods (November 2015 - March 2016 and up to July 2019) in the affected village. The APs
were informed regarding the time and venue, prior to meetings, and successive follow up
including telephone calls to local people was undertaken. Meetings were held in an open
encouraging atmosphere where APs expressed their concerns and views freely.
Meetings were held in the form of open hearings, FGDs and individual interviews with men
and woman. In total 275 individuals attended the consultation meetings, among which 126
were women (see Annex B). These meetings proved very useful in information sharing and
group consultation and consensus building.
A final consultation round was undertaken at the end of November – beginning of December
2020. The consultation took the form of a Workshop where affected people had the chance to
receive up to date information on the progress of the project, voice a number of concerns and
assist the project team to update the socioeconomic profile of the local population.
40
6.6 AP’s Concerns and Project Response
During the consultations, people were asked about their views regarding the proposed project.
Some local NGOs – for example, the Citizen Foundation, and Al Khidmat Foundation - were
consulted for their views and comments. Both viewed the project positively for the
development of the country and recommended that local people must be hired and that
compensation must be based on negotiated rates. The timely payment of compensation was
emphasized by the NGOs. The community concerns, together with the project responses, are
given in Table 6-3.

In addition, NTDC offers a Compulsory Land

agreed rate. The resulting rate is PKR

6.7 Local Responses to the Project
The perspective of project construction and operation has raised local reactions from part of
the affected people. Being anticipated earlier, private negotiation was selected as the way of
acquiring this piece of land. For private negotiation a committee of locals representing all the
land holders negotiated with the five-member committee of the NTDC on rates of land. The
negotiated rate, agreed by both the parties, came out to be 495,000/- per kanal. After
finalization of rate, NTDC started acquiring land as per the set procedure. Approx. 29 acres
were acquired via this process. Meanwhile, a group of people from the village started objecting
their local committee members and became a cause of hindrance in the process of land
acquisition. They denied the previous agreement on rates and demanded either change the
land or increase the land rates. These opposing people started campaigns in the village
against the NTDC and started harassing/bullying the NTDC peoples and warned them not to
visit the area.
Several consultations with the opposing people were held, in the presence of District
administration, in order to resolve the issues of opponents but nothing was sorted out as
instead of negotiating the opponents started abusing.
NTDC raised the issue with the higher ups of the NTDC, Ministry of Energy, and the World
Bank. Two key actions were agreed:
1. Consultations with these affected people having reservations will be continued regularly.
NTDC higher level staff will participate (Project Director, Relevant General Manager or
higher ups) regularly at least in these meetings to discuss and resolve the issues. These
consultations will be documented by NTDC.
2. Rates were further enhanced. It was decided to compensate the people by giving them
land rates higher than already agreed even though acquiring land through Deputy
Commissioner (whose rates are very low compared to the negotiated rates) because of
the inflation. NTDC asked the Deputy Commissioner to assess the rates who constituted
a District Price Adjustment Committee (DPAC) to assess/finalize the rates for land. This
committee comes out with the rate higher than the previous negotiated rate due to inflation.
The enhanced rates have then been approved by NTDC Board of Directors.
43
The land acquisition process either by negotiations or by using eminent domain, where
negotiations fail, will continue. However, the open hostility demonstrated by those opposing to
project implementation has created notable difficulties in accessing the site and, therefore, in
carrying out (or updating) socioeconomic surveys or stakeholder engagement activities for the
preparation of this RAP.
6.8 Women Involvement in the Consultation Process
6.8.1 Overview of the Process
The fact that women are not seen outside the house makes it difficult to approach them for
information dissemination or stakeholder engagement activities. The problem is exacerbated
for such activities taking place outside the village. For these reasons, during the planning
phase, a gender inclusive consultation process was undertaken. To explore gender related
issues, female staff were included in the team of surveyors. Formal meetings with women
were held to explore their needs, problems and priorities related to project execution. In
addition, individual interviews were also held with affected women to effectively involve them
in the planning process and design tailored programs for women and other vulnerable groups.
6.8.2 Women views and concerns about the Project
The main concerns voiced during the consultation meetings were related to the need for fair
and timely compensation for any lost assets, in a way that their livelihood is not compromised.
Other issues were related to the increased traffic by the construction staff and machinery
during project construction, which may have an impact to the circulation of the community
people, especially women and children. The presence of the construction staff, especially if
they are foreign workers, was also a concern as it may create difficulties to the mobility of local
women and girls.
On the other hand, the project is expected to improve electrification and therefore quality of
life, while project construction was seen as an opportunity for employment of younger
unemployed men and local economic development through the provision of local services.
Women requested that employment is provided to the male members of their families,
combined with skills improvement to increase their chances to work under the project. Skills
development was also mentioned for women and girls, i.e., for embroidery and other in-house
handcrafts that may provide additional sources of income to local households. These issues
will be considered by NTDC during RAP.
During the socioeconomic survey and the consultations, the affected women and vulnerable
groups were explained the structure of compensations, the types of allowances and the
mechanism of disbursements. These are further discussed in appropriate section(s) of the
RAP (see 4.4). It was explained during the consultations that if assets are owned by women,
they will directly receive the compensation and compensation will be paid through cross
cheque. In case of joint ownership of assets (e.g., married couples), the compensation will be
paid to both.
44
6.9 Disclosure of RAP
The original RAP was disclosed in 2017 both at NTDC and World Bank websites. Updated
RAP will be disclosed to the affected people and will be available on the NTDC website and
Bank’s website for the public at large. NTDC will take the following steps for disclosure of the
RAP:
• Before the start of the RAP implementation, an information booklet containing a

summary of the compensation principles will be prepared specifically for the purpose.
This information booklet or brochure will be translated into Urdu and distributed to all
project APs. This will enable the APs to be aware of their entitlements, unit rates of
compensation/income restoration and rehabilitation assistance and payment
procedures available for various types of APs as given in the Entitlement Matrix. In
addition, the information regarding the GRM will be reflected in the booklet.
• After approval, a shorter version of the RAP (i.e., project footprint, objectives and
benefits, policy framework, entitlement matrix, RAP implementation framework,
responsibility, timeline, costs and budget, M&E framework) will be translated into Urdu
by NTDC and disclosed to APs and other stakeholders by the PMU. The translation of
the RAP will include the Cut-off dates, but exclude the cash compensation amounts to
be paid to the APs.
• RAP will be disclosed to women through a meeting either by a community organization

or project staff. Both versions of RAP (English and Urdu) will be available at the offices
of Project Director, Contractor, and Revenue Department as an official public
document.
• A schedule explaining the date, time and venue for disbursement of compensation
through cheque will be prepared in Urdu and distributed to all APs.
6.10 Consultation Plan during Project Implementation
The consultation will continue during project implementation. A broad framework for the

7 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
7.1 Introduction
NTDC has already prepared a document titled “The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)”,
outlining the processes for documenting, addressing, responding and employing methods to
resolve project grievances (and complaints) that may be raised by APs or community
members regarding major project specific activities such as, environmental and social
performance, the stakeholder engagement process, land acquisition and resettlement and/or
unanticipated social impacts resulting from project activities that are performed and/or
undertaken by NTDC. The document describes the scope and procedural steps and specifies
roles and responsibilities of the parties involved. It applies to all World Bank, ADB and other
foreign donor funded projects, including the proposed one.
7.2 Structure of the Grievance Redress Mechanism
The project will have two-tier GRM with designated staff responsibilities at each level. These
levels comprise the following:
GRC at PMU Level (GRC-P)
NTDC will appoint a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC-P) at PMU/PIU level to resolve
all grievances and complaints of the APs and the Complainants. The GRC-P shall comprise
of the following members:
• Project Director (or his representative), NTDC as Convener of GRC
• Deputy Manager (Social & Environment), NTDC as Secretary of GRC
• Representative of Land Acquisition Collectors (LAC) as Member
• Independent Consultant (a retired Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) (or equivalent who
has knowledge of the land acquisition and process to resolve issues) as Member
• Representative from the Project Implementation Consultant (male and female)
• Any notable personality from the area to be nominated in writing by the relevant District
Administration in consultation with the community.
• Representatives of the APs
During deliberations, NTDC can call representative from any other Department for
consultation and advisory services for resolution of grievances. There will be a Complaint Box
at the PMU office on site in Islamabad West Grid Station and a dedicated telephone number
for registration of any complaints. The PMU Office will also designate a person, not below the
48
rank of an Office Assistant, who shall record the complaints and immediately report them to
CO Head/Executive Engineer and concerned officials.
The GRC-P, through an authorized representative, will acknowledge the complainant about
his complaint, scrutinize the record, explore the remedies available and request the
Complainant to produce any record in favor of his claim. After thorough review and scrutiny of
the available record on complaint, visit the field and collect additional information, if required.
Once the investigations are completed, the GRC shall provide with a decision within 21 days
of receipt of the complaint. If the aggrieved person is not satisfied, he/she will be allowed to
elevate the complaint to next level of GRM for resolution of his/her grievances within 07 days
after communication of decision by the GRC-P.
GRC-P has provision for representatives (both male and female) from the community. These
will be nominated by the project affected persons and selected by NTDC in consultation with
them. However, the area is conservative and culturally sensitive and female involvement is
very limited in activities outside their homes. Keeping this in view, female representation in
GRC-P will be difficult. If there are any specific grievance(s) lodged by any female in the project
area, the gender specialist in the project will facilitate the process.
GRC at NTDC Headquarter (HQ) Level
NTDC will constitute a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC-HQ) at HQ level. The

committee will have the following composition:
• General Managers Projects Delivery North/South (as relevant) as member, being the
convener
• Additional Director General ESIC as member
• Gender Focal Point or NTDC female manager as member
• Representative of the Land Directorate as member
• Representative of the Legal Department as member
This GRC-HQ, through authorized representative, will acknowledge the complainant about his
complaint, scrutinize the record of the GRC-P, investigate the remedies available and request
the complainant to produce any record in favor of his claim. After thorough review and scrutiny
of the available record on complaint, visit the field and collect additional information, if required.
Once the investigations are completed, the GRC-HQ shall give decision within 21 days of
receipt of the complaint. If the complainant is still dissatisfied with the decision, he can go to
the court of law, if he/she wishes so.
Gender representation will be ensured by appointing a female member in both GRCs. The
mechanism will ensure the access of APs to a GRM that openly and transparently deals with
the grievances and makes decision in consultation with all safeguard system.

7.3 Grievance Redress Mechanism
The intention of GRM is to resolve a complaint as quickly and at as low a level as possible to
avoid a minor issue becoming a significant grievance. Irrespective of the stage of the process,
a Complainant has the option to pursue the grievance through the court as his or her legal
right in accordance with law. The details of the process are given below:
7.3.1 Grievance Redress Procedure
a. The grievance or complaint will be addressed to the Convener of GRC-P/HQ with copy
to DMD (AD&M). This can be launched in writing, through telephone or verbally at office. If the
complaint is verbal, the office will arrange to convert verbal complaint in written form;
b. A serial number will be assigned to it together with the date of receipt;
c. A written acknowledgement to the Complainant will be sent promptly within three

working days. The acknowledgement will contain:
i. The name and designation of the authorized representative (if the designated
representative is in another office then the relevant address will also be included) who
will deal with the grievance.
ii. Information that necessary action will be taken within the specified
working days from the date of receipt of the grievance by the authorized representative
concerned.
d. If the office receiving the grievance/complaint is not the one designated to consider
and resolve it, the receiving office will forward it to the designated office, but after having
complied with the requirements at (b to c) above;
e. The GRC will provide an opportunity of hearing to all the concerned parties and
examine the relevant record before making the final decision;
f. The GRC or its representative designated to consider the matter will make every effort
to ensure that grievances/appeals are considered and resolved preferably within the stipulated
period; and
g. The complete records of all activities will be kept and filed into the grievance database
maintained by both GRCs. The GRCs will also be responsible to compile records of the GRM
and make quarterly reports to the WB or any other concerned Authority.
7.3.2 Follow Up and Close Out
The complaint will be considered as resolved and closed when:
• The designated GRC has decided/resolved the grievance/complaint;
50
• Where the Complainant has indicated acceptance of the response of the GRC in
writing;
• Where the complainant has not responded to the Grievance Redress staff within one
month of being sent the final decision of the grievance officer on his
grievance/complaint;
• Where the Complainant fails to attend the proceedings of the GRC within the stipulated
period of the resolution of the complaint; and
• Where the Complainant withdraws his/her complaint.
7.4 Documentation of GRC Cases
All records of GRC cases shall be properly maintained by the PMU Office, including minutes
of meetings and decisions made by the GRC. The complaints received in writing or received
verbally (or by phone) will be entered and properly recorded and documented. The meeting
minutes at various GRCs will be recorded and decisions made will be as part of the input in
the case record document and filed properly by respective GRCs.
The outcomes of GRC deliberations and decisions will be notified in written form by the Chair
of the GRC within a week from the date of the meeting. The decisions taken are mandatory
on the NTDC with regard to any additional awards or compensation to be paid to the
disputants. The records of all GRC cases must be available for review and verification by
NTDC, WB, Independent monitoring consultants and other interested stakeholders.
7.5 Current Operating Status of GRM
The current status for GRM implementation includes the following;
• the GRM Standard Operating Procedure was approved and notified by NTDC;
• Both GRCs have been notified, trained and made operational;
• Meetings are being held

9 COST AND BUDGET
9.1 General
This section provides the indicative compensation cost for land acquisition and resettlement
for the Islamabad West Grid Station project. Efforts were made to work out realistic cost
estimates/values that lead to fair compensation based on current market rate. For this
purpose, concerned Government Departments, i.e., Forest, Revenue and Agriculture were
consulted. The rates obtained from the departments were escalated using the inflation rates.
In sum, the total resettlement and livelihood restoration cost is PKR 1,260.62 Million (USD 7.5
Million).
The entire budget for RAP will be financed by NTDC. Although, the construction of the
Islamabad West Grid Station will take 3 years, RAP implementation will be completed by the
end of 2023. The Bank will review and monitor RAP implementation. Further, third party
independent verification of the compensation payments will be carried out during the
implementation.
9.2 Provisions for Resettlement Budget
The costs for RAP, including cost of compensation as negotiated and all other implementation
cost, are considered an integral part of Project cost. RAP includes the (i) unit compensation
rates for all affected assets and allowances, (ii) methodology followed for the computation of
unit compensation rates, and (iii) a cost table for all compensation expenses including
administrative costs and contingencies. Costs for external monitoring tasks will also be
allocated under the loan. NTDC will disburse the funds directly through the PMU office to
the eligible persons.
In case compulsory acquisition is applied, funds will be transferred to the DC by NTDC.

Compensation disbursement committees will disburse compensation to APs.
In case of delay in compensation, the compensation amount to be disbursed will be adjusted

as per the current inflation rate and the additional compensation amount due to inflation
adjustment will also be arranged by the NTDC. The provisions for such additional cost have
been taken care in the contingency.
59
9.3 Itemized Cost Summary
9.3.1 Land
Land will be acquired through private negotiation and compulsory acquisition. In compulsory
acquisition, the rate assessed by the DPAC is PKR 4,351,600/acre 4 which is higher than the
previously negotiated rate. Based on assessment during preparation of RAP the current
estimation for land compensation is about PKR 887.7 million. In total 202 acres of land will
be acquired due to project implementation (plus 2 acres for the extension of the access road).
9.3.2 Crops
The cropping pattern of the Project area is comprised of wheat, maize and vegetables. The
net income per acre from these crops was obtained through the socio-economic survey. The
average yield of wheat in area is 1,024 Kgs per acre 5. The rate per Kg of Wheat as obtained
from the department is PKR 45 per kg (March 2021 rates). The rates were verified by the
Agriculture department.
In total 202 acres of Rabi and Kharif (wheat and Maize crop) are cultivated in the affected land
(plus 2 acres for the extension of the access road).
9.3.3 Trees
A total of 83 trees out of which 11 are fruit trees will be affected due to the project. The
compensation rate for timber trees was obtained from the forest department, and amounts to
7,500 PKR/tree – escalated to 10,650 PKR/tree due to inflation.
9.3.4 Structures
A total of 16 residential structures will be relocated due to project implementation. The rates
of Pucca and Kacha structures were obtained from the market and verified by the Building and
Repair department. These rates were escalated using the inflation rates mentioned in
economic survey of Pakistan 6.
In addition, a total of 8 Tube wells will be relocated due to project implementation and the
compensation rate is PKR 74,760/well.
4 The negotiated rate was PKR 495,000 per Kanal (PKR 3,960,000 per acre). The rate for compulsory acquisition is PKR
543,950/Kanal (PKR 4,351,600/acre). The higher rate will be used for the calculations.
5 Refer to Section 2.2.2 of Chapter 2.

10 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
10.1 RAP Monitoring Arrangements
The RAP tasks will be monitored internally and externally. The NTDC will carry out internal
monitoring of RAP by the PMU through ESIC with support from consultants. The external
monitoring will be assigned to an Independent External Monitoring Consultant, hired by NTDC
with the concurrence of WB for monitoring of RAP implementation. The Independent
Monitoring Consultant will be mobilized prior to RAP implementation. The extent of monitoring
activities, including their scope and timing, will be commensurate with the project risks and
impacts. The ESIC is required to carry out the safeguard measures and implement relevant
plans as provided in the legal agreements. Internal Monitoring Reports will be prepared
monthly, quarterly and annually for the project mentioned in the RAP.
10.2 Monitoring Indicators
The RAP implementation progress will be monitored by the following indicators:
• % of affected APs having received compensation for crops;
• % of affected APs having received compensation for trees;
• % of vulnerable HH having received vulnerability allowance;
• Number of APs having received skills training by the Contractor;
• Number of APs having employed by the Contractor; and
• Number of vulnerable APs having employed by the Contractor.
10.3 Internal Monitoring
Internal monitoring will be carried out by the ESIC with support from consultants. Internal
monitoring indicators will relate to process, outputs and results. Information will be collected
directly from the field, and will be reported monthly to the PMU to assess the RAP
implementation progress and adjust the work plan if necessary. Specific Internal monitoring
benchmarks will be based on the approved RAP and cover the following:
• Information campaign and consultation with APs;
• Status of land acquisition and compensation payments;
• Compensation for assets;
• Payments for loss of income;
63
• Income restoration activities;
• Grievance redress status; and
• Ensure the gender mitigation measures in the RAP are adhered to during the internal
monitoring and reporting process.
Gender disaggregated information will be collected by the PMU which will monitor the day-
to-day resettlement activities of the project through the following instruments:
• Review of project information for all APs;
• Consultation and informal interviews with APs;
• Key informant interviews; and
• Community public meetings.
10.4 External Monitoring and Evaluation
NTDC will appoint an independent agency, (i.e., Independent Monitoring Consultant, IMC) for
external monitoring to ensure complete and objective information. The tasks of the IMC are
to:
• Review and verify internal monitoring reports prepared by ESIC;
• Review of the socio-economic and census and inventory of losses baseline information
of pre-displaced persons;
• Update the baseline data if required;
• Identification and selection of impact indicators;
• Impact assessment through formal and informal surveys with the APs;
• Consult APs, officials, community leaders for preparing review report;
• Assess the resettlement efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability, drawing

lessons for future resettlement policy formulation and planning;
• Ensure the gender mitigation measures in RAP are adhered to during monitoring; and
• Assess verifying and reporting of impacts and compensation measures provided to

affected vulnerable groups such as families below the poverty line.
64
The ToR for external monitoring and evaluation consultant is attached as Annex C. The
following will be considered as the basis for indicators in monitoring and evaluation of the
project:
• Socio-economic conditions of the APs in the post-resettlement period;
• Communications and reactions from APs on entitlements, compensation, options,

alternative developments etc.;
• Changes in income levels;
• Rehabilitation of severely affected people, and different vulnerable groups;
• Valuation of property;
• Ability to replace lost assets;
• Disbursement of compensation and other entitlements;
• Level of satisfaction of APs in the post resettlement period;
• Quality and frequency of consultation and disclosure; and
• Grievance procedures.
Based on the IMC’s report, if significant issues are identified, a corrective measurement plan
will be prepared, reviewed and approved by World Bank and disclosed to project APs. Internal
and external monitoring and reporting will continue until all resettlement activities have been
completed.
10.5 Monitoring Database Management
The IMC will maintain computerized resettlement database that will be updated quarterly. It
will contain files on each displaced household and will be updated based on the information
collected on successive rounds of data collection. All monitoring database will be fully
accessible to NTDC and the World Bank.
10.6 Reporting and Disclosure
The IMC will submit an external monitoring report to NTDC and directly to World Bank on six
monthly basis. The report should summarize the findings of external monitor, including: (i)
progress of resettlement plan updating and implementation; (ii) identification of problem issues
and recommended solution so that implementing agencies are informed about the on-going
situation and can resolve problems in a timely manner; (iii) identification of specific issues
related to vulnerable households; and (iv) a report on progress of the follow-up of issues and
problems identified in the previous report.
65
The monitoring reports will be discussed in a meeting between the IMC, the NTDC and PMU
held after submission of the reports. Necessary remedial actions will be taken and
documented.
All the monitoring reports will be translated and disclosed as per World Bank involuntary
resettlement policy and monitoring reports will be publicly open and placed on the NTDC and
WB websites.
10.7 Post-Project Evaluation
The Project will undertake a post-project or RAP completion audit after completion of RAP
implementation to assess the success of the RAP measures and to identify the lessons
learned from the implementation of the Islamabad West GS Project. The audit and evaluation
shall contain a comprehensive review of the implementation processes, institutional capacity,
manpower and costs. The report will further determine and highlight how the measures
adopted have been successful in the restoration of livelihoods of the affected people and/or
presented or minimized impoverization of those affected by the project as a learning exercise
for future RAP management.
