 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The Government of Ghana (GoG), through the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture
Development (MOFAD), has received a credit facility from the International
Development Association (IDA) and Global Environment Facility (GEF) to fund the
cost of the West Africa Regional Fisheries Programme (WARFP) in Ghana. The
programme’s development objective is to improve the sustainable management of
Ghana’s fish and aquaculture resources.

Part of the credit facility will be used for the Project’s Sub-component 3.1.1: Small
Scale Fish Landing Site Development, which is expected to increase the value of fish
by improving the sanitary and hygienic conditions under which the fish is handled
after landing. The implementation of activities under this sub-component will lead to
temporary relocation of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) fishermen
and twenty-five (25) fish processors; permanent relocation of three (3)
traders and the improvement of a fish pond. The impact triggers the World
Bank’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy OP 4.12 thus the preparation of this
Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP).

The purpose and objective of the Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) is to
outline a set of mitigation and monitoring measures that will be used to curtail or
minimize to acceptable levels the adverse social impacts that may occur during the
construction of the landing site.

The methodology and approach to the preparation of the ARAP involved site
verification visits, consultation with relevant stakeholders, review of literature,
generation of baseline data, and identification of social issues associated with the
construction works.

Project Location and Description

The project is located at Anloga in the Keta Municipal Area in the Volta Region. It
consists of a landing platform for small canoes and the following facilities: an
administration block, canoe repair and net mending area, fish drying area, public
toilet, refuse disposal point, washing trough, and a parking area. Other facilities to
be provided under the project are a-150W HPS Lamp, fish retail platform, 132-metre
long chain link fencing and water storage tower. A 50Kv substation will also be
established to provide power to the site.

Legal and Policy Framework

The policies and laws guiding land and property acquisition, ownership and
compensation in Ghana include the;
 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana
ii
  Administration of Lands Act, 1962 (Act 123)
 State Lands Act, 1962 (Act 125)
 State Lands Regulations 1962 (LI 230)
 State Lands (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 1963 (LI285)
 Lands (Statutory Way Leaves) Act, 1963 (Act186)
 World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.12.
The local laws have been reviewed and compared with the World Bank’s
Operational Policy (OP 4.12). The main noticeable differences are treatment of
illegal settlers and accommodation of vulnerability in resettlement.

ARAP Implementation Arrangements

A Relocation Implementation Committee was formed and agreed upon during the
census. This comprise: (a) Development Planning Officer of Keta Municipal
Assembly, (b) Assemblyman for Lagbati Electoral Area, (c) Town and Country
Planning Officer, and (d) Works Engineer. Other members of the RIC should include
the following (f) Chairman of the Canoe Fishermen Association, (g) Representative
of Anlo Traditional Council, and (h) representative from the PAPs. The Resettlement
Implementation Committee should supervise the relocation (temporary and
permanent) activities before construction. They are also to ensure an accountable
and transparent implementation of resettlement issues. A detailed implementation
plan has been designed to provide timelines for specific actions as well as
responsible persons and the cost of implementation. The total cost of implementing
the ARAP, including monitoring and evaluation is estimated at Seventy Five
Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢75,000.00). The cost of providing temporary
landing site for the fishermen and fish processors has been budgeted for in the
ESMP.

The following activities will take place prior to the PAPs vacating the site:
- Approval and No Objection to the Final ARAP document by the World
Bank;
- Payment of all compensations, relocation and/or re-instatement of the
kitchen, corn mill and metal containers;
- Site preparation of the temporary landing site for the canoe fishermen and
fish processes.
These activities are expected to take two weeks.

Consultations and Negotiations

The Consultation process involved both formal and informal channels of
communication. Announcements were made using the community public information
centres. Negotiation and consultations started with individuals and associations but
the final decisions were agreed on with the blessing of the political and traditional
authorities. This was to ensure that a parallel consultation process was not created
in an attempt to solicit the concerns of the project stakeholders. However,
confidentiality of Project Affected Persons and key stakeholders were duly observed.
iii
Outcome of the consultations led to negotiations and signing of memoranda with the
project affected persons.

Grievance Redress Mechanism

A three-tier grievance redress mechanism has been designed, in the event of
dissatisfaction of any Project Affected Person (PAP). These are:
(i) A Three-Member Focal Group, (ii) Grievance Redress Committee and (ii) Court of
Law. PAPs are required to channel their grievances to the GRC through any means,
including verbal narration, telephone calls, text messages and letters. Membership of
the redress structure was done through stakeholder representation. Stakeholders
were allowed to pick their representative to the grievance process through selection
(as in the case of the Assemblyman and staff of the Fisheries Commission),
nomination (as in the case of the Chairman of the Anloga Inland Canoe Fishermen
Association, Presiding Member and Togbui Avege), and voting (as in the case of the
Representative of PAPs) . The duration for receiving and providing feedback to a
grievance shall not exceed a maximum of two months.

Monitoring and Evaluation

An ARAP monitoring and evaluation framework has been provided to ensure timely
and successful implementation of agreed actions and the delivery of resettlement
package as a whole. The ARAP Monitoring and Evaluation framework include:
(i) Performance Monitoring (Internal Monitoring) by the RIC
(ii) Process or Impact Monitoring; and by the E&S specialists and M&E specialist
of WARFP.
(iii) ARAP Completion Audit or End Evaluation by an external consultant.
General monitoring indicators shall include: (i) documented evidence of a number of
public consultations, (ii) grievance procedures in place and functioning, (iii) timely
execution of resettlement arrangements, and (iv) compensation paid to bona fide
parties. The PAPs and the community shall play a critical role in the M&E process.

 CHAPTER ONE

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The Government of Ghana (GoG), through the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture
Development (MOFAD), has received a credit facility from the International
Development Association (IDA) and Global Environment Facility (GEF) towards the
cost of financing the West Africa Regional Fisheries Programme (WARFP) in Ghana.
The programme’s development objective is to improve the sustainable management
of Ghana’s fish and aquaculture resources.

Part of the credit facility will be used for the Project’s Sub-component 3.1.1: Small
Scale Fish Landing Site Development which is expected to increase the value of fish
by improving the sanitary and hygiene conditions under which the fish is handled
after landing. The implementation of activities under this sub-component triggers
EPA’s Environmental Assessment Regulations 1999, L.I. 1652 as amended and two
of the World Bank’s safeguards policies: the Environmental Assessment Policy O.P.
4.01 and the Involuntary Resettlement Policy O.P. 4.12. In order to meet the Bank
and Ghana’s Environmental Protection Agency requirement, an Environmental and
Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared.

An Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) is being prepared to cater for the
temporary relocation of fishermen, fish processors and other Project Affected
Persons (PAP) in line with World Bank’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy OP 4.12
since it borders on resettlement and disturbance of the livelihood of PAPs.

1.1.2. Project Description and Proposed Works

The project is located at Anloga in the Keta Municipal Area in the Volta Region. The
project consists of a landing platform for small canoes and the following facilities: an
administration block, canoe repair and net mending areas, fish drying area, public
toilet, refuse point, washing trough and a parking area. Other facilities to be
provided under the project are a-150W HPS Lamp, fish retail platform, 132-metre
long chain link fencing and water storage tower. A -50 Kva substation will also be
established to provide power to the site.

A total area of 8,800m2 will be reclaimed from the lagoon using the fill materials.
The proposed fill material will mainly be laterite of volume 17,540m3 transported
from the Dabala area, which is about 44 kilometres from Anloga. The reclaimed area
will have a channel running in the middle, the jetty, where the canoes will moor. The
jetty will consist of a reinforced concrete retaining wall with a maximum height of
1
0.4m and the total length of 245m is proposed to be constructed to hold the fill
materials. For easy access to the landing site during the dry season, sections of the
lagoon will be dredged.

To enable access to the facility, a 6m wide bituminous surfaced road of total length
500m will be constructed around the reclaimed areas. Drains from Anloga-Keta
Road towards the site will be extended and diverted to run at the toe of the filled
area. The physical works will take a period of ten (10) months upon possession of
the site by the contractor.

The construction of the fish landing site and ancillary accommodation will involve:
 Dredging,
 Excavation works
 Concrete works
 Filling (Earth works)
 Carpentry and roofing works
 Haulage of materials in and out.

These activities will result in:

 Temporary relocation of some 153 fishermen and fish processors with

movable structures,
 Permanent relocation of three traders,
 The improvement of fish pond close to the site,
 Dust and noise emissions
 Potential burns on the workers
 Excavation
 Waste generation

1.1.3 Environmental and Social Impacts of the Project

The dust and noise emissions, excavation, waste generation as well as the burns on
workers are some of the potential environmental impacts the execution of the
project will generate. The others, such as temporary relocation of 153 fishermen and
fish processors with movable structures, permanent relocation of three traders and
the upgrading of a fish pond close to the site, are the social impacts of the project,
the major reason why the exercise of preparing an ARAP becomes a requirement.

In managing the social impacts, the contract bid documents should include the
following recommendations as requirements: (i) fencing of project site to prevent
access by traders, (ii) mixing of on-site materials in shielded areas, (iii) proper
covering of equipment and materials during transportation, (iv) Routine and proper
servicing of equipment and their placement, away from sensitive areas, to reduce
noise and public safety risks (v) use of ear plugs and protective clothing for
construction workers to control noise pollution and burns, (vi) Provision of adequate
diversions and visible direction signs to minimise traffic congestion and accidents,
2
and (vi) provision of a sustainable waste management plan to take care of waste
generation.

In dealing with health and safety concerns, construction crew and supervisors should
be trained on health and safety guidelines and be given personal protective
equipment. The disruption of livelihoods will be catered for in this report (Chapter
Three and Chapter Four)

1.2 Objectives of the ARAP

The planning of resettlement activities is an integral part of the preparation for

World Bank assisted projects that cause involuntary resettlement. The fundamental
objective of resettlement planning is to avoid resettlement whenever feasible, or,
when resettlement is unavoidable, to minimize its extent and to explore all viable
alternatives. Where land acquisition and involuntary resettlement are unavoidable,
resettlement and compensation activities are carried out in a manner that provides
sufficient opportunity for the people affected to participate in the planning and
implementation of the operation. Further, if incomes are adversely affected,
adequate investment is required to give the persons displaced by the project the
opportunity to at least restore their income-earning capacity.

1.3 Rational for ARAP preparation

An ARAP is prepared for this project because PAPs number one hundred and fifty-
seven (157). This is because OP 4.12 allows that where impacts on the affected
population are less than 200 people, or if less than 10% of PAPS productive assets
are lost, an ARAP may be prepared by the borrower.

1.4 Methodology
The approach to the preparation of this ARAP involved different phases which
include the following: Literature Review; Stakeholder/Public Consultation, Data
Gathering/Census, Identification of PAPs and Extent of Impacts and Public Disclosure
of ARAP.

1.4.1 Literature Review

A review of relevant literature was carried out to gain further and deeper
understanding of the project and related laws and policies. The literature reviewed
included the Project Appraisal Document (PAD), WARFP Resettlement Policy
Framework (RPF), and the World Bank’s Involuntary Resettlement Sourcebook.
3
Other relevant documents reviewed are reports, publications on land and property
acquisition and compensation relevant to the ARAP, the Municipal Medium Term
Development Plan (MMTDP) of KeMA, Project Engineering Drawings, and the World
Bank Operational Policies (especially Involuntary Resettlement Policy, O.P 4.12).

1.4.2 Stakeholder/Public Consultation

Extensive consultation was carried out with relevant stakeholders to learn and
identify the issues and agree on specific actions to mitigate them.

The study commenced on the 11th of April, 2016, with a meeting between WARFP
safeguards Team and stakeholders within the project area, especially the fishermen
and fish processors. The purpose was to develop a plan for stakeholder consultation
and the preparation of the ARAP. This was followed by a project site visit and a
meeting with officials of KeMA, EPA and Forestry Commission to brief them on the
project (see appendix III for pictures of the visit).

The next was an individual interview with the PAPs to determine the extent of
impacts of the project and their commensurate compensation. Progress meetings of
the Municipal Planning Coordinating Unit were held to discuss field findings. Find
attached minutes of meeting with the Municipal Assembly and other stakeholders in
Appendix IV.

1.4.3 Field Data Gathering (Identification of PAPs and Extent of Impacts)

The field work comprised physical counting and socioeconomic survey of PAPs,
determination of degree of impacts on PAPs and signing of agreement with PAPs.

 CHAPTER TWO
LEGAL, POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR
RESETTLEMENT PLANNING IN GHANA

2.1 Introduction
This chapter deals with the legal and policy frameworks as well as the administrative
set-up for preparing Resettlement Action Plans (RAP)/Abbreviated Resettlement
Action Plans (ARAP) in Ghana. It describes applicable and relevant legal and policy
issues for land acquisition and payment of compensation in Ghana and illustrates the
differences between the World Bank and Ghana's policies.

2.2 Legal and Policy Framework

The policies and laws guiding land and property acquisition, ownership and
compensation in Ghana include the:
 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana i.e. Article 20 of the 1992 constitution
 Administration of Lands Act, 1962 (Act 123)
 State Lands Acts, 1962 (Act 125) which gives authority for land to be acquired
 State Lands Regulations 1962 (LI 230)
 State Lands (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 1963 (LI285)
 Lands (Statutory Way Leaves) Act, 1963 (Act186) and
 World Bank Operational Directive OP 4.12.

2.3 Administrative and Institutional Framework

2.3.1 Land Valuation Division (LVD)

The Land Valuation Division (LVD) of the Lands Commission is the statutory
government institution responsible for assessing and approving compensation
amounts to PAPs. It will receive value and verify documentation on affected
properties. This is to ensure that payments are not made to people who are not
adversely affected and also compensations offered to affected persons are
reasonable. The project falls within the jurisdiction of the LVD.

2.3.2 Ministry of Finance/Accountant General’s Department

The Ministry of Finance is the agency that manages the central government’s
budget. It is responsible for releasing money to be paid to victims of projects
undertaken by state agencies. On request from MOFAD, the Ministry of Finance will
authorize and release to KeMA the funds required to implement the ARAPs, and pay
supplementary assistance and compensations. The Ministry may also enter into
special arrangements with WARFP regarding implementation of provisions in the
ARAPs, especially with reference to payment of compensations.

5
2.3.3 Lands Commission/Ministry of Lands and Forestry
This is the state agency charged primarily with the management and administration
of state and vested lands. It is responsible for advising on policy framework for
development of particular areas so as to ensure that the development of such areas
is coordinated. The functions of the Lands Commission are spelt out in Article 256 of
the 1992 Constitution and the Lands Commission Act (Act 483) 1994. The
Commission’s role in the compulsory acquisition is that it serves as a
Member/Secretary to the site selection committee, a technical committee that
considers request for compulsory acquisition by the state agencies and recommends
its acceptance or otherwise. The proprietary plan covering the site to be acquired is
plotted by the Commission in the government’s records. Recommendation on the
acquisition is also processed by the Commission for the approval by the Minister
responsible for lands before an executive instrument would be issued and gazetted.

2.3.4 Town and Country Planning Department (KeMA)

The Department prepares planning layouts for towns and cities and defines safety
zones/right of way. It also vets and approves layouts prepared by prospective
developers and specifies all reservations based on forecast land-use plans. The
department is required to approve developments and grant permits in conformity
with the already prepared layout of the area.

2.3.5 Attorney General’s Department and Ministry of Justice

The Attorney General’s Department and the Ministry of Justice has redress
mechanisms in place for aggrieved persons. The Attorney General will encourage all
individuals (PAPs) who will not be satisfied with the compensation offered them to
seek redress in a court of law as empowered by the Constitution. Within the
grievance redress mechanism this will be a last resort after all parties have
exhausted opportunities outlined by the grievance redress team established by the
project.

2.3.6 Metropolitan/Municipal Assemblies

The MMDAs have jurisdiction over the project’s corridors and site. They grant
permits and licenses for development and operation of infrastructure and any
commercial activity. Land demarcation and general development plans of
communities lie with the assemblies as well as the communities in consultation with
the Traditional Authorities who are custodians of lands in most parts of Ghana. The
KeMA will be acquiring lands for sub-projects in their MTDPs and where resettlement
and compensations are triggered; they will be responsible for the implementation of
the provisions of the RAPs/ARAPs.

2.3.7 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

NGOs are independent bodies which serve as the mouth-piece of the local people.
They participate in public hearings of ESIAs and RAPs and in addressing the
6
concerns of communities. With regard to the implementation of this project, NAFAG,
NAPTA and other associations will support the safeguards activities and serve as
independent bodies to validate the process, compensation payment, and help with
sensitization and awareness programmes regarding overall compliance.

2.4 Comparison of the Ghanaian Legal Framework with World Bank OP

4.12 on Resettlement Assistance
There are significant gaps between Ghanaian laws and regulations and the
requirements for resettlement as laid out in OP 4.12. The “Safeguards Diagnostic
Review for Piloting the Use of Ghanaian Systems to Address Environmental
Safeguard Issues in the Proposed World Bank-Assisted Ghana Energy Development
and Access Project (GEDAP)” which was completed in December 2006, concluded
that: “the Ghanaian systems on involuntary resettlement are deemed not to be
equivalent with the Bank’s.” Table 3.2 highlights the differences between Ghanaian
laws and World Bank policies regarding resettlement and compensation. The most
important differences are discussed briefly below:
 Ghanaian law requires prompt, adequate and fair compensation for Project
Affected Persons (PAPs) but this is not at par with OP 4.12, which requires
compensation to be completed prior to the start of the project. There is also
no provision for relocation assistance, transitional support, or the provision of
civic infrastructure under Ghanaian law (Table 3.2, Section II).
 Ghanaian law does not make any specific provision for squatters or illegal
settlers, other than under the Limitation Decree where settlers can claim
rights to the land after living on it for 12 years and where the legal owner of
the land has failed to exercise his legal ownership (Table 3.2, Section I). OP
4.12 requires that affected communities be consulted regarding project
implementation and resettlement. Affected communities should also have the
opportunity to participate, implement, and monitor resettlement. Ghanaian
law, however, states that when it is determined that a right-of-way must be
established, the President publishes a way leave instrument and the land in
question is immediately subjected to the way leave. The instrument must
then be publicized at a place where the owner or occupier of the land can
easily see it. The owner/occupier must receive at least seven days’ notice of
intent to enter, and 24 hours’ notice before entry (Table 3.2, Section II).
 Ghanaian law makes no specific provisions for potentially vulnerable groups
such as women, children, the elderly, ethnic minorities, indigenous people,
the landless, and those living below the poverty line. These groups are at
highest risk from negative impacts of resettlement, and should receive special
consideration during the preparation of a resettlement action plan to ensure
that they can maintain at least the same standard of living after displacement
takes place (Table 3.2, Section I).
 There is also no provision in Ghanaian law which indicates that the state
should attempt to minimize involuntary resettlement (see Appendix I for
Comparison of Ghanaian and World Bank Policies on Resettlement
and Compensation

 CHAPTER THREE
CENSUS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PROJECT
AFFECTED PERSONS (PAPs)

3.1 Introduction
This Chapter presents the number of PAPs and an analysis of their socio-economic
characteristics. The chapter also highlights the economic and livelihood activities of
PAPs. These indicators provide the baseline data for monitoring and evaluating
progress of implementation of the ARAP. The data also provide the basis upon which
verification can be made as to whether or not the objective of ensuring that no one
person is left worse off as a result of the involuntary resettlement has been
achieved.

3.2 Census of PAPs and their Socio-Economic Characteristics

3.2.1 Census
The proposed site is the existing landing site for canoes in the community. A survey
of canoes that use the existing landing site indicated that on a typical major market
day (every four days) 34 canoes were stationed at the current landing site before
6.00 am. Nevertheless, the Anloga Cooperative Inland Canoe Fishermen Association
has a membership population of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) fishermen and
twenty-five (25) fish processors with about two hundred and ninety-six (296)
canoes1. The trend in entry with respect to the current landing site, on a typical
market day, is presented in Figure 3.2. From the survey no vulnerable persons were
identified among the PAPs.

1
The Number of canoes owned by the fishermen and fish processors are more than what the survey revealed
but there was no way of independently verifying their claims due to the migratory nature of fishing along the
lagoon.

The total number of PAPs recorded at the close of the cut-off date, which was 8th
July, 2016 was 157.

4.2.2 Age Distribution of PAPs

Majority of the PAPs, 46, representing 29.3% are within the age bracket of 32 – 42
(Table 3.2.2). See below in table 3.2.2 Age Distribution of PAPs.

3.2.3 Gender of PAPs

Out of the total number of 157 PAPs, 131 (83.43%) were males and 26 (16.56%)
females (Table 4.2.3). The Table shows that majority of the PAPs are males but the

9
females would need special attention during implementation of both the ARAP and
the project since some of them own canoes that are rented by the men.

3.2.5 Economic and Livelihood Characteristics

All PAPs were found to be employed, with majority (81.52%) of them being
fishermen and canoe owners, followed by fish processors. Table 4.2.5 shows the
type of employment of PAPs.

3.2.6 Daily Income

The determination of the distribution of daily income of PAPs is crucial for three main
reasons: (i) the daily income reflects the general standard of living of the PAPs; (ii)
the daily income provides the basis for determining the amount of compensation
that the WARFP will pay PAPs whose trade will be interrupted due to the execution
of the project; and (iii) the daily earnings serve as a good measure of whether or
not PAPs are better or worse off after implementation of resettlement and the sub-
project as a whole. Table 4.2.6 presents the estimated daily income distribution of
PAPs.

10
3.2.7 Income Distribution of PAPs
Majority of the PAPs, 42, representing 26.75% fall within the income bracket of

 CHAPTER FOUR
ASSETS, COMPENSATION AND OTHER RESETTLEMENT ASSISTANCE

4.1 Introduction
Chapter five discusses the eligibility of PAPs and proceeds to present an analysis of
assets and livelihoods of the PAPs, commensurate compensations and other
resettlement assistance. The main issues highlighted under the analysis of assets
and livelihoods include: type of establishment, type of property ownership, type of
structure affected and the extent of impact. The compensation matrix is also
illustrated under this section.

4.2 Eligibility of PAPs

According to Ghana’s EPA and World Bank policies, PAPs may be eligible for
compensation and resettlement assistance if they:
 Have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights
recognized under the Lands Act.
 Do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but
have a recognizable legal right or claim to such land or assets.
 Have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying (i.e.
squatters, ownerships under dispute, etc).

The above criteria are based on the World Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy, OP
4.12 and State Lands Act 1963 section 6(1) of the Government of Ghana which
provides that any person whose property is affected by public projects shall be
entitled to compensation. The Act also provides avenues for people who are not
satisfied with compensation to seek redress.

For a person to be described as a project affected person (PAP), that person’s

property or business activity must fall within the proposed site earmarked for the
landing site. Alternatively, a project affected person must have his/her livelihood
disrupted by an activity related to the construction of the fish landing site. PAPs
eligible for compensation or supplementary assistance are those registered during
baseline studies within the cut-off date agreed on between the project and
stakeholders. All PAPs have been consulted and those with structures to be relocated
have been identified.

12
4.3 Analysis of Assets and Livelihoods of PAPs

4.3.1 Category of PAP

The Project Affected Persons have been grouped into four. They are:
(i) Fishermen and fish processors who will be moved to a temporary landing
site until completion of the project (movable properties);
(ii) A trader whose wooden structure will be demolished and replaced with
new a one (immovable property);
(iii) Traders whose properties would be relocated to new locations (movable
properties); and
(iv) A man whose property will not be affected but will be improved to create
a hygienic condition around the site (immovable property) in line with the
project’s objective.

The consultation has revealed that only (ii) and (iii) will have their livelihoods
disrupted by the activities. Cash compensation has been made available during
the period of relocation to offset any negative impact the process may have on
their livelihoods.

Table 4.1: Category of PAP

PAP Category Frequency Valid Percent
Property Movable 155 98.72
Property Immovable 1 0.64
Assisted to improve fish pond 1 0.64
Total 157 100.0

There are two categories that overlap but are distinct in nature (fishermen and fish
processors who will be moved to a temporary landing site until completion of the
project and traders whose properties would be relocated to new locations). Although
they all fall within the movable properties category, they can all not be treated the
same way due to their peculiar commercial activities. While the relocation activity
will not have any negative impact on livelihoods of the fishermen and fish
processors, the activity will result in loss of livelihood of one of the traders (Mr.
Klomegah).

13
4.3.2 Type of Structure and Nature of Impact

The report first identified type of structures and the nature of impact on them. Most
of the PAPs own and or operate canoes (Table 4.3:2).

Table 4.3:2 Property Type of PAP

Property Type Frequency Valid Percent
Canoes 296 98.67

Kiosk (Metal/Wood/Roofing Sheet) 3 1

Fish Pond 1 0.33

Total 300 100.0

4.4 Matrix of Impact

The Matrix of Impact describes the type of arrangement for the different affected
people, assets, livelihoods, temporary relocation. It includes the following: (i) Name
of PAP (iii) Age of PAP (iii) Sex of PAP (iv) Contact of PAP (v) Ownership (vi)
Employment Type, (vii) Asset/Type of Structure, (viii) extent of impact, ix) Category
of PAP and (xi) type of resettlement assistance as shown in Appendix V.

Sufficient space will be created for fishermen, fish processors and traders to
continue with their businesses while construction is on-going (see Appendix VII).
Some barricades or hoardings will be erected by the contractor to secure the project
site and reserve enough space and access for the traders and pedestrians. In order
to suppress dust emissions, the contractor will have to water the place on a daily
basis in the dry season or channel waste water away from the traders if construction
is in the rainy season. The contractors will also be asked to undertake routine
maintenance and servicing of his equipment and machinery in order to suppress any
excessive and sustained noise. PAPs who will suffer loss of livelihood as part of the
project will be paid cash compensation (see Appendix VII). The amount of
compensation will be calculated based on the average daily sales multiplied by the
number of days lost due to construction work. This report provides only the average
daily sales for each of the PAPs for WARFP to work together with the contractor to
implement and report to the Bank.

Owners of movable property (canoes) will be compensated in kind. This means

that the West Africa Regional Fisheries Programme will assist the 153 PAPs to find a
suitable place and bear the cost of moving them to the new site (see appendix VII).

14
The WARFP will also take responsibility for preparing the new site to be useable as
contained in the memorandum signed with the PAP.

4.5 Impact on livelihoods

The relocation of the fishermen from the traditional landing site to the temporary
site would not have any impact on livelihoods. This is because the temporary
relocation site would be prepared before the canoes are moved. The owners would
move their canoes to the temporary site through the lagoon, and as such there
would be no transportation cost.

Two traders, (Madam Christiana Honu and Mr. Felix Klomegah) will have their
livelihoods interrupted. The project will therefore pay them cash compensation
based on the average daily sales multiplied by the number of days lost due to the
relocation.

Plates 4.1: Fishermen and Safeguards Specialists inspecting Temporary

relocation site

15
Similarly, the relocation of the fish processors would also not have a significant
impact on livelihood because the women use pans and baskets for processing the
fish. Every day after work the fish processors take their working tools home and
return the next day. This will make it easy for them to move back to the new site
upon completion of the site without incurring transportation cost.

Plates 4.2: Activities of Fish processors at Anloga

However, the relocation of the kitchen and the metal container would have an
impact on livelihoods, and as such, cost of disturbance would be calculated using
their daily income and paid to them as compensation during the period of the
relocation.

Plates 4.3: Owners of Kitchen and Metal Container in front of their shops.

Equally, the improvement of the fish pond would not have an impact on the owner
who is a taxi driver. The fish pond currently does not generate any income for the
owner. As part of the process of creating a hygienic condition around the landing
site, the fish pond would be improved. Since the corn mill is faulty and not in use,

16
the relocation would not have any impact on the livelihood of the owner. However,
the project will support the owners to relocate.

Plates 4.4: Owners of Fish pond and Corn Mill in front of their properties.

4.6 Entitlement Matrix

An entitlement matrix has been developed to show categories of project affected
persons, type of loss and resettlement assistance being provided as part of the
ARAP. Compensation in this study would be in kind, with the exception of the three
PAPs who would be paid cash compensation for disturbance during the period of
relocation.

There are two main categories of impact and entitlements. The first category is the
fishermen and fish processors who will temporarily lose their (1) existing landing site
and (2) existing fish processing area respectively. A temporary landing site would be
provided for this category before construction. Cost of temporary landing site has
been factored into the ESMP. The other category is the three PAPs who will be
physical relocated.

The relocation activities will inconvenience both the first and second categories of
PAPs. However, during consultations the fishermen and fish processors waived their
entitlement to cost of disturbance as their contribution to the project. They indicated
that the cost of inconvenience will be mitigated if the temporary landing site could
be provided before the construction. Please refer to Appendix X. On the other hand,
WARFP/KeMA will bear the cost of relocating the three PAPs, including payment of
disturbance. Please find below entitlement matrix for the three affected persons. A
detailed entitlement matrix has been attached in appendix IV.

In discussing with the PAPs on the types of compensation, the following were taken
into consideration:
 Replacement cost of properties,
 Cost of disturbance, and
 Other incidental contingencies, including summation of the estimated values
of the structure to ensure that satisfactory and fair compensation are paid to
the PAPs.
The discussions were conducted by the WARFP Safeguards Specialists in the
presence of the Assemblyman for Lagbati Electora area. Resettlement discussions
were on a case by case basis.

4.7 Project Affected Persons

During the baseline socio-economic data collection from project affected persons,
consultations were held with individual PAPs. During these consultations, the
impacts of the project and proposed mitigation measures were explained to them
and they individually gave the assurance that they would cooperate to ensure
smooth implementation of the project. For the fishermen and fish processors, their
interests are to be represented by their executive officers.

18
 CHAPTER FIVE
ARAP IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
5.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the key stakeholders involved in the planning,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of this ARAP. It also highlights the ARAP
Action Plan (Implementation Schedule) which shows the duration and timeframes of
the key milestones and tasks. The cost and budget of implementation, including
monitoring and evaluation, are also captured in the chapter.

5.2 Stakeholders and Institutional Analysis

OP 4.12 stresses that “All resettlement plans should include an analysis of the
institutional framework for the operation and the definition of organizational
responsibilities (Operational Policy [OP] 4.12. Based on this, the various
stakeholders, both national and local, who made it possible for the execution of this
exercise, through planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, have been
analyzed under this section. Table 5.2 shows the stakeholder map of the ARAP
process.

5.3 Resettlement Implementation Committee (RIC)

Members of the Resettlement Implementation Committee (RIC) should comprise
people who have (i) knowledge and experience in the use of local mechanisms to
settle grievances and (ii) the capacity to ensure equity.

To ensure a broad representation, this report recommends that members of the RIC
should include the following; (a) Development Planning Officer of Keta Municipal
Assembly, (b) Assemblyman for Lagbati Electoral Area, (c) Town and Country
Planning Officer, and (d) Works Engineer. Other members of the RIC should include
the following (f) Chairman of the Canoe Fishermen Association, (g) Representative
of Anlo Traditional Council, and (h) representative from the PAPs. The Resettlement
Implementation Committee should supervise the relocation (temporary and
permanent) activities before construction.

5.4 Implementation Schedule
The implementation schedule defines the activities, their duration and timing of key
milestones and tasks. For this ARAP, the schedule covers the period from the
preparation of the ARAP to the conclusion of the proposed project and the time that
the landing site will be available for full use (Table 5.4).

It is important to note that the procedure in the plan, starting from notification of
the PAPs before their displacement through compensation and resettlement, will be
carried out in phases. Before the commencement of works, payment of
compensation to PAPs would have been completed in compliance with the Bank and
EPA Resettlement Policies. The plan for the implementation of activities must be
agreed between the RIC and the PAPs. These include the target dates for start and
completion of all compensations before civil works for the proposed project start.

 CHAPTER SIX
PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS
6.0 Introduction
This chapter discusses public consultation processes adopted by the project and the
outcome of major stakeholder engagements after the consultations. The chapter also
has a pictorial presentation of the consultative process.

The consultation process involved both formal and informal channels of communication.
Community announcements were made using the community public information
centres. Negotiation and consultations started with individuals and associations but the
final decisions were agreed on with the blessing of the political and traditional
authorities. This was to ensure that a parallel consultation process was not created in
an attempt to solicit the concerns of project stakeholders. However, confidentiality of
Project Affected Persons and key stakeholders were duly observed.

At every stage of the process, full and complete information about the prospective
investment, its land requirements, and the implications of that need were made
available to all parties in public meetings and other stakeholder engagements as
specified in the RPF.

The RPF identified local processes as key to the success of all negotiations and as such
project information were disseminated using the local language(s), ensuring that the
community was fully aware of developments. An interpreter from the Information
Service Department (ISD) was used for community engagements.

6.1 Stakeholders Consulted

The preparation of the ARAP was participatory, involving various stakeholders i.e.
persons and institutions that have interest in the planning and execution of the project,
including those positively and negatively affected. The stakeholders consulted were
Canoe Fishermen on the Keta Lagoon operating from Anloga, National Fish Processors
and Traders Association (NAFPTA), Project Affected Persons (PAPs), Keta Municipal
Assembly, (Town and Country Planning Department, Department of Urban Roads and
Development Planning Officer, Municipal Works Engineer and Municipal Chief
Executive). Others were the Anlo Traditional Council. The stakeholder consultations
helped in the determination and identification of impacts and their significance as well
as mitigation measures. See Appendix II and III for Consultation Matrix and Pictures of
stakeholder consultations respectively.

26
6.2 Consultation Process and Channels Used
The consultation process included designing the appropriate stakeholder map as well as
determining the channel of communication and disclosure. Different consultation
processes and channels of communication were used to elicit the desired response from
the stakeholders.

The consultation process involved arranged meetings with stakeholders, official visits,
courtesy calls and informal walk-in meetings. All the stakeholders were consulted
separately and at different times. Persons who own properties along the proposed
location were contacted individually and their concerns elicited. After the consultations,
minutes and records of proceedings, including negotiated memorandums, were
submitted to the stakeholders for verification and confirmation. A stakeholder
consultation matrix has also been developed (see Appendix II)

An open forum was also held to provide an opportunity for both project stakeholders
and the general public to discuss the issues relating to the project (see
minutes/report attached in Appendix IX)

During the stakeholder consultations, the major issues raised by stakeholders included
acquisition of land for the temporary relocation during the construction phase of the
project, noise impacts on adjoining school, and safety of Project Affected Persons
(PAPS) whose workplaces are close to the project site (see Annex III for memorandum
negotiated and signed with PAPs).

6.3 Consultation Matrix

The matrix of decisions taken at the stakeholders consultations are captured in table
5.1 while concerns raised at the stakeholder durbar are captured in the minutes
attached in the Appendix II. A participatory consultation approach was adopted for the
consultation and negotiations with PAPs and other stakeholders. The consultations
started during the planning stages when the technical designs were being developed,
and at the land selection/screening stage. The process sought the involvement of PAPs
throughout the census for identifying eligible PAPs and throughout the ARAP
preparation process.

27
Consultation with Canoe Fishermen

6.4.1 Disclosure and Notification

All eligible PAPs were informed about the Fisheries project and the ARAP process. A cut-
off date was established as part of determining PAPs eligibility. The RPF recommends
that in special cases where there are no clearly identifiable owners or users of asset,
the ARAP team must notify the respective local authorities and leaders. It also
recommends a “triangulation” of information – affected persons; community leaders;
and local government representatives to identify eligible PAPs. The Safeguards team
notified all the PAPs about the agreed cut-off date (which was 8th July 2016) and its
significance verbally and through the public information centres.

6.4.2 Documentation and Verification of Assets

The Keta Municipal Assembly, Anlo Traditional Council, Member of Parliament for Anlo,
community elders and leaders; representatives from the Ministry of Fisheries in Keta
were informed of the affected persons and restoration measures agreed to before
memorandums were signed with the PAPs.

28
 CHAPTER SEVEN
GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM (GRM)
7.1 Introduction
Implementation of the project has the potential of generating complaints and
grievances. It is important that the ARAP provides mechanisms through which the PAPs
can express their grievances or seek clarifications about the project. This chapter
discusses the grievance redress mechanisms for implementing the ARAP.

7.2 Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)

A grievance is any query, call for clarification, problems, and concerns raised by
individuals or groups related to activities undertaken or processes applied by the
project. When addressed, these grievances are expected to ensure support, as well as
help achieve results and sustainability of project activities. A Grievance Redress
Mechanism (GRM) is therefore a system by which queries or clarifications about a
project are responded to, problems that arise out of implementation are resolved and
grievances are addressed efficiently and effectively. An effective and efficient GRM
should have multiple avenues or channels for lodging complaints, transparency,
promptness and timeliness of responses and clear procedures.

7.3 Basis for Grievance Redress Mechanism

The consultation processes showed that the execution of the project will generate
environmental and social concerns which are linked to the health and safety of the
affected population. These impacts include dust and noise generation, relocation of old
landing site for the Anloga community and surrounding towns, obstruction of
access/movement, among others. While thorough consultations have been carried out
to provide data for the mitigation of these impacts, some grievances may be
anticipated.

7.4 Institutional Basis of Grievances Redress Mechanism

Investigation conducted in the project environs shows that there are existing
mechanisms for voicing grievances and getting resolutions. A person with a grievance in
Anloga first complains to an elderly person or an opinion leader for resolution. If a
satisfactory resolution is not attained, the person may lodge a verbal complaint to a
local chief with authority over the area where the grievance emanated. For the purpose
of this project, such a grievance would be lodged with Togbui Avege. Similarly, a
person with complaint could approach the Assemblyman of the Electoral Area for
resolution. If a satisfactory resolution is not attained, the person may move forward to
29
lodge a formal complaint at the Municipal Assembly and a meeting of the Public
Relations and Complaints Committee is activated to resolve the grievance. Also, within
the fishing association, there are procedures for grievance redress. A person not
satisfied with a situation may lodge complaints to the chairman or any of the executive
officers of the association. Complaints submitted to either the chairman or other
executive officers are resolved amicably. Checks from the association revealed that all
grievances emanating from the union are resolved amicably without resorting to the law
court. Mostly in the Ghanaian society, the courts serve as the final conflict resolution
centre.

Ghanaian laws as well as World Bank policies recognize the right of individuals and
organizations to own property, and as such there are institutions created to ensure that
the right of individuals and groups are protected to ensure that people are not denied
their right

Under the laws and policies of the Ministry of Local Government and Rural
Development, District Assemblies have Public Relations and Complaints Committee
(PRCC). The Public Relations and Complaints Committee is chaired by the Presiding
Member and it is expected to amicably settle complaints and grievances of the public
regarding activities being undertaken by governmental agencies or normal complaints
from residents about nuisance and abuse of rights. In most districts, the PRCC also
plays the role of CHRAJ. The Presiding Member who is the chairman of the PRCC has
been made chairman of the Grievances Redress Committee of the project as a
representative of the District Assembly.

7.5 Grievance Redress Process

For the purpose of this project, a three tier grievance redress process has been
developed to manage grievances. These processes are:

1. A Three-Member Project Focal Group;

2. Grievance Redress Committee; and

3. The Law Court.

The first level involves a Three-Member Project Focal Group that will receive grievances
and process them for resolution (see Table 7.5.3 for Proposed schedule for Grievance
Redress). The membership will include the Assemblyman for Lagbati Electoral Area; the
Chief of the area where the project is taking place (Togbui Avege) and Chairman of
Anloga Cooperative Inland Canoe Fishermen Association. The three-member focal
group will be the first point of contact between the project and the public and their
role/mandate will include providing project information to stakeholders and resolving

30
grievances. If a grievance submitted to this group does not receive satisfactory
resolution, the second tier (GRC) is activated.

7.5.1 Grievances Redress Committee

The second tier, the Grievances Redress Committee, is a semi-formal and semi-
adjudicatory structure within the project that receives complaints and amicably resolves
them

The Grievances Redress Committee is chaired by the Presiding Member and it is

expected to amicably settle complaints and grievances of the public with regard to
adverse environmental and social impact. The Grievances Redress Committee (GRC)
takes up grievances when the three-member focal group is unable to resolve a
grievance submitted to them. Other members of the Committee are the Municipal
Planning Officer, a representative of Municipal CHRAJ Office, Representative of the
Traditional Council, a representative of Fisheries Commission in Keta, the Director of
Cooperative of KeMA, Representative of Fish Processors, and Representative of PAPs. A
person dissatisfied with the outcome of the Grievances Redress Committee could go to
Court to seek legal remedy.

7.5.2 Court of Law

The third tier for grievance redress is the Court of Law. By the laws of Ghana, when all
the forms of alternative dispute resolution fail, the law courts represent the last resort
for an aggrieved person. Under this project the courts also represent the last resort
when the first and second tiers fail to bring a satisfactory outcome. -

It is anticipated that the number of cases which may need to be referred for redress will
be relatively small, and that only the first and second tiers of the redress mechanism
may need to be activated. The West Africa Regional Fisheries Programme Ghana shall
offer training on basic safeguards issues using the national system and the World Bank
Safeguards instruments to equip members of the grievance redress Committee. Major
stakeholders have been briefed on the grievance redress process and how to activate
them but further sensitization would be carried out within Anloga to foster a better
understanding among the residents (see Appendix VI).

The grievance redress process shall follow the chain below in resolving grievances,
including introducing any other initiatives that could compliment the effectiveness of the
process:

(i) Receive grievances;

(ii) Grievance assessed and logged
31
 (iii) Acknowledgement of grievances;
(iv) Follow-up and Processing;
(v) Develop response;
(vi) Verification, Investigation and Action;
(vii) Monitoring and Evaluation; and
(viii) Feedback

7. 5.3 Proposed Schedule for Grievance Redress

The schedule is summarized in the Table below which suggests a period of about 37 to
66 working days to identify and resolve project grievances. It is recommended that a
maximum of two months should be set for completion of the grievance review process.

Aggrieved parties shall report directly to any of the grievance redress process through
any medium suitable to him/her, including verbal narration, telephone calls, text
messages and letters. The duration for resolving a grievance shall normally be a
maximum of two months.

Every person/institution that activates the grievance redress process should be given
every opportunity to present his or her case through a process that is fair, just and
transparent. Services rendered by the grievance redress process should be free of
charge, be friendly, accessible, efficient and expeditious.

All PAPs have been informed about how to register grievances or complaints, including
specific concerns about compensation and relocation. PAPs have also been informed
about the dispute resolution process, specifically about how the disputes will be
resolved in an impartial and timely manner and the hierarchy of the Grievance Redress
Process. Please find Appendix VII for Grievances Redress Framework. Sample Grievance
Resolution Form has been attached in See Appendix IX

 CHAPTER EIGHT
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
8.1 Introduction
The EPA and Bank require project sponsors to monitor and report on the effectiveness
of RAP implementation, including the physical progress of resettlement and
rehabilitation activities, the disbursement of compensation, the effectiveness of public
consultation and participation activities, and the sustainability of income restoration and
development efforts among affected persons. The primary objective is to provide the
project authorities with feedback on ARAP implementation and to identify problems and
successes as early as possible in order to allow for timely adjustment of implementation
arrangements.

8.2 ARAP Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements

In the M&E plan, three components will be monitored. These are: (i) Performance
Monitoring (Internal Monitoring) and Process or Impact Monitoring.

General monitoring indicators shall include: (i) public consultation, (ii) grievance
procedures in place and functioning, (iii) timely execution of compensation
arrangements, (iv) compensation to rightful persons; and (v) the physical progress of
resettlement. Table 8.1 illustrates the general ARAP Monitoring and Evaluation
Framework.

8.2.1 Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring will be an internal management function allowing the RIC to
measure physical progress in activities against milestones set out in the ARAP
implementation/action plan. Performance milestones to be monitored are summarized
in Table 8.2.
35
8.2.2 Process or Impact Monitoring
Impact Monitoring measures the effectiveness of the ARAP and its implementation in
meeting the needs of the affected population. Its purpose is to provide WARFP and the
World Bank with data on the effects of resettlement to: verify internal performance
monitoring; and identify adjustments in the implementation of the ARAP as required.

The effects of the ARAP implementation will be tracked against the baseline conditions
of the population prior to project implementation, which has been established in the
census and socio-economic survey. Verifiable indicators will be both quantitative and
qualitative. The main quantitative indicator will be the economic wellbeing of PAPs,
including daily/monthly incomes and employment/livelihoods. The qualitative indicators
will be used to assess (i) the satisfaction of PAPs and the adequacy of these initiatives,
especially with the functioning of the grievance redress mechanism, (ii) consultation
and people’s participation, (iii) transparency and accountability in the resettlement and
compensation process, and (iv)information dissemination and communication with the
affected population. It is important to include affected people in the identification and
measurement of baseline indicators. The quality monitoring method will involve direct
consultation with the PAPs through meetings, focus group discussions, or similar forums
established by the project’s management for participation as part of the consultation
framework. The impact monitoring should be conducted by an external consultant or
the project management unit of the WARFP.

8.2.3 ARAP Completion Audit or End Evaluation

This end-term evaluation will be undertaken by an independent third party to assess
whether the outcome of the ARAP complies with the involuntary resettlement policy.
The key objective of this external evaluation or completion audit will be to determine
whether the efforts made to restore the living standards of the affected population have
been properly conceived and executed. The audit will verify how far the physical inputs
and services committed in the ARAP have been delivered.

In addition, the audit will evaluate whether the mitigation measures prescribed in the
ARAP have had the desired effect. The socio-economic status of the affected population
will be measured against the baseline conditions of the population before the
displacement, established through the census and socio-economic studies. This
evaluation will be undertaken after all ARAP inputs and other supplementary
development initiatives have been completed prior to the Project’s closure.

RESPONSE
A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is
a system by which queries or clarifications
about a project are responded to,
problems that arise out of implementation
are resolved and grievances are addressed
efficiently and effectively.
A grievance is any query, call for
clarification, problems, and concerns
raised by individuals or groups related to
activities undertaken or processes applied
by the project.
When addressed, these grievances are
expected to ensure support, as well as
help achieve results and sustainability of
project activities.
A person could lodge a grievance about
anything within the project area that has
an impact on the environment, livelihood,
culture, labour, or any matter of concern,
including construction methods
A person may lodge a grievance when
he/she is dissatisfied with an action,
attitude or conduct of any of the project
partners, especially relating to issues that
have adverse impact on the environment,
livelihood, safety, health, geology, water
body and culture of the people.
Any person or group of persons or an
institution can lodge a grievance. Where
the circumstances demand, a person may
lodge a complaint on behalf of another.
You may lodge a grievance to any of the
redress process via phone, text message,
letter or in person. A person making a
complaint should be encouraged to give as
much detail as possible, including name,
phone number, house number and
contacts of persons who may assist the

Whom should one lodge a grievance with?
Who are members of the Three-Member
Focal Group
What should one do when not satisfied with
an outcome of a grievance by TMFG
72
grievance redress process in its
investigation. Where applicable, an
aggrieved person/institution may indicate
the type of remedy they are seeking.
You may lodge grievance with any
member of the three-member focal group
for resolution.
Members of the Three-Member Focal
Group are:
1. Togbui Avege
2. Assemblyman for Lagbati Electoral
Area (Hon. Agbota), and
3. Chairman of Anloga Inland Canoe
Fishermen and Owners Association.
When you are not satisfied with a
response by the TMFG, kindly proceed to
GRC by notifying the PM of KeMA. If you
are not satisfied with the decision of the
GRC, you may seek redress from the
court.

introduced by representative of the Information Services Department (ISD) and a
welcome address given by a representative of the Fishermen and Canoe Owners
Association.

Regional Director of Fisheries Commission, Mr. Francis Akolor, highlighted the purpose
of the meeting and revealed the intention of the Government to establish a Landing Site
in Anloga. The Landing Site was to be constructed alongside other ancillary facilities. He
said the meeting was to discuss the draft report of environmental and social safeguards
issues and also solicit the views of all stakeholders. He indicated that views, concerns
and suggestions from the meeting will be included in the final report to the EPA and
World Bank and called on all the stakeholders to feel free to make their concerns
known. The Project Coordinator, Dr. Cornelius Adablah, explained that the landing
site will have in addition to the landing platform, a net mending area, canoe repair
space, place were the women will buy and sell fish, a refuse container and an
administration block. Copies of the Draft design were showed to the people present as
Dr. Cornelius Adablah took time to explain the components of the project.

The representative of the Anlo Traditional Council, Togbui Abgotadua Boni

acknowledged the need for the project Anloga. He urged the audience, who were
predominantly indigenes to take advantage of the forum to make the report richer and

79
also called on stakeholders to cooperate as the Awomefia had spearheaded the release
of land for the commencement of the project.

On behalf the Municipal Assembly, the Presiding Member, Hon. Richard Sefe lauded the
project and expressed joy at its realization. He noted that, the Municipal Assembly had
identified some challenges, such as the need to dredge the lagoon and revealed that
provisions were to be made for subsequent large scale dredging to support
contemporary aquaculture and its development. Among the challenges identified
included a change in rainfall pattern which was assumingly responsible for the current
low water levels. He then proposed the construction of a drainage system from Havedzi
to Anloga to ensure a consistent flow of water. He reiterated that, the Municipal
Assembly was in full support of the project. He expressed worry over the delay of the
project and the shifting of excuses.

Hon. Humado, Member of Parliament for Anlo Constituency, expressed gratitude for the
consultations so far and called on the project consultants to speed up the process. He
appealed to the Ministry of Fisheries and other associated institutions to construct a
fingerling production hatchery to feed the lagoon after dredging. He commended the
World Bank as well as the Ministry of Fisheries among others for adding Anloga in the
project.

Subsequently, the representative of NAFAG (National Fisheries Association of Ghana)

thanked the Ministry for the project and indicated that activities of the association were
being affected by high interest rate on loans and sought assistance of government and
relevant authorities. He further applauded SNV for their efforts in promoting a
modernized smoking system. He said the Landing Site would empower women to
smoke on hygienically and expressed gratitude towards the project.

80
Next to address the audience was Mr. Abdul Kareem on behalf of the Wildlife Division of
the Forestry Commission. He said he was satisfied with the level of consultation with
regards to the preservation of the lagoon. He encouraged the consultants to submit
their draft report for review and pledged that his outfit would fully support the project
to ensure the right thing was done. It encouraged the people to help in preserving the
lagoon for generations unborn. The Volta regional Director of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Togbui Ahornu, also pledged support for a successful project.
He called on the community to report any activity that has the potential to cause harm
to the environment and livelihood to his outfit for redress.

Dr. Emmanuel Abeka, Environmental Safeguards Specialist of WARFP, in explaining the

ESMP reiterated the essence of active participation of all stakeholders and the need to
solicit all views in order to address all concerns. To him, that was a passionate venture
as it would ensure all stakeholders would be fairly attended to. Consequently, he
thanked all present for support solicited so far.

Open Forum

1. During the open forum, Madam Happy Amevinya, a trader, expressed concern
about the source of labour. She suggested that it would be prudent to recruit
indigenes to boost the prospect of employment among inhabitants.

Dr. Cornelius Adablah indicated that the contractors needed to strictly adhere to
the regulations of the World Bank. He again indicated that the recruitment will
be done from the through the labor office at the Municipal Assembly. He assured
the audience of recruitment when necessary.

81
2. Mr. David Zaglago inquired from the team whether there were plans to relocate
the fishermen and traders to a new location during the construction of the
Landing Site. He also inquired about funding of the relocation activities.

The project coordinator explained that all relocation activities and its associated
costs will be borne by the project. He further stated that provisions had been
made for temporary relocation of the fishermen and traders.

The Social Safeguards Specialist indicated that feasibility studies had already
been conducted for the purpose of temporary relocation.

3. Mr. Edzorna said that a similar facility at Woe had been abandoned because
concerns of stakeholders were not taken seriously. She advised the team to
make the new landing site women friendly and must also make provision that
prevents rain from coming to the drier area as well as the shed as happens in
Woe. She also inquired whether the facility has sanitary facilities.

The project team responded in the affirmative. Dr. Adablah assured the audience
that basic ancillary and sanitary facilities as well as a jetty that would ensure
easy docking at all times. To him, all views would be considered since the
engineering drawings were under consideration. The Draft Design was shown to
them.

4. Mr. Akakpo Jeseph Wormade inquired if any provisions had been made to
prevent cancellation of the project in the event of change in government.

82
 The project Coordinator explained that the project was being funded by the
World Bank and as such a change in government would not have any effect on
funding.

Subsequently, Hon. Humado retorted that, a change in Government would in no

way affect the progress of the project as it was funded by the World Bank. Dr.
Cornelius Adablah further stated that a committee would be set up for the
management of the facility. He said running of the facility was however to be a
shared and collective responsibility of all stakeholders.

5. The Organizer of the fishermen, Mr. Moses Kpodo lauded the project and
inquired when the project was to commence, or if it would remain a mirage as
they had been informed some years earlier. Mr. Kpoviha asked if there would be
any form of user fees to be levied on users of the facility when constructed.

The team indicated that the project will commence when the Bank Approves the
ESMP and the Draft design. Hon. Sefe further concluded that user fees would be
paid for effective maintenance, to be levied by the Municipal Assembly and the
Committee.

6. Mr. Komla Agboada, who leaves close to site, requested a copy of the site plan
and design that they had been showed should be left behind for public viewing
and perusal.

7. Mr. Augustine Ampoma, WARFP Social Safeguard Specialist, eventually

addressed the audience before inaugurating the Grievances Redress Committee.
He stated that the essence of the committee was to address all concerns
indigenes or inhabitants might encounter during the course of the construction,
until the project is handed over.

83
The meeting came to an end after the committee had been inaugurated and closing
prayer, as well as the vote of thanks had been offered by the Mr. John Ntibrey, the
Municipal Planning Officer.

Meeting with Fisherman

MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF CANOE FISHERMEN AT ANLOGA ON
14th MAY 2016 TO FURTHER DISCUSS REMEDIAL ISSUES AFTER THE PUBLIC
FORUM

A very interactive focus meeting was held by Dr. Abeka, Environmental Safeguard
Specialist of WARFP, with the fisher folk to ascertain their concerns and prospective
challenges in respect of the new Landing Site.

Dr. Abeka briefed the Fishermen about the project and what it entails. He said that the
project was being funded by the World Bank and the a new landing site was to improve
the hygienic conditions under which the fish was processed as well as empower to
regulate the bad fishing practices on Keta Lagoon. He also indicted the new landing
site will provide them with a safe place to land their canoes. He indicated that the
Grievance Committee is different from the Committee that will manage the facility
after it has been completed.

Mr. David Zaglago indicated that although they have been meeting some people on the
landing site issue for some time now, he was concerned about the low level of water
and the appealed for the dredging of the lagoon for easier movement of the Canoe.

Mr. Tashieme Bedzrah also raised concerns about marketing of fish and if any form of
aid would be made available. Mr. Redeemer’s interest however, wanted to find out if
the project would be built according to the site plan, featuring all the ancillary facilities,
and if provisions had been made for a considerable number of canoes. Conclusively,
Mr. Samuel Amevor wanted to know when exactly the project would commence.

In reply, Dr. Abeka explained that, a jetty would be extended further into the lagoon to
alleviate the challenges faced due to low water levels. He reiterated that, only a portion
of the lagoon would be dredged. Dr. Abeka then recommended the formation of a
Community Based Fisheries Management to manage and regulate fishing activities. In

93
expounding the concept, he further stated how this would serve as a potentially useful
marketing tool and sales avenue, and how the committee is to serve as a source of post
maintenance of the facility. The fishermen were assured of ancillary storage and
sanitary facilities among others.

Mr. Moses Kpodo inquired whether they will be given an alternative place where their
canoes will berth during the implementation stage of the project.

Dr. Abeka revealed that, the project would commence once the final approval is given
by the World Bank. On the issues of a temporal landing site during construction phase
of the project Dr. Abeka indicated that their leaders have shown the Project team a
site behind the Market which they will prefers as the temporal landing and the
Assembly is preparing a site plan for the area. He went on to say that before the
project starts that area will be improved so that they use there as the temporal
landing site.

On the issue of possible loss of livelihood and payment for disturbance during the
relocation, the association offered to waive their entitlement as their contribution to the
project.

In conclusion, Dr. Abeka said this was their project so they should show a keen interest
in it. He indicated once the project begins and they have any problems there will be
a Grievance Committee made up of the their representative, the Assembly and the
traditional authority among others so they should feel free to contact him on any
issue that may be bothering them. He gave out his phone number and said they were
free to call him on any other issues any time.

Minutes of Meeting with Representative of Anloga Market Management

Committee, Madam Happy Amevinya on 13th May 2016

Dr. Abeka, the Environmental Safeguards Specialist of WARFP also met with a
representative of the Market Committee, Madam Happy Amevinya and sought her views
on the project. She was briefed about the components of the project as well as the
fact that land near the market will be used for a temporal relocation site for the
Canoe Fishermen.

He advised the proper waste management systems should be practiced at the

market so that it will not adversely affect the operations of the new landing site.
He also indicated that during the construction phase there by dust and other
inconveniences so they should bear with the project. He stressed that there will be
engineers who be checking that these adverse effects are corrected as soon as
they come up. He indicated that if there any problems during the construction the
traders should feel free to contact the Assembly or the traditional authority and
the Project Engineer so that the matter can be resolved peacefully. Finally, he
indicated that the traders and children would be properly shielded from the
construction site as their safety was paramount and would not be patronized but they
should sensitize their members not go close to the construction site or equipment .

Madam Happy indicated that her worst fears included the advent of thieves who might
want to raid the construction site and the market. She however expressed joy at the
advent of the project as it would trickle down to overall development of the market and
boost earnings as well as trade activities. She indicated that workers should be picked
from the community so as reduce unemployment in the Community. She said that
security persons should be provided on the site to protect the construction material
and prevent people from coming near the site. Madam Happy was of the view
that Landing Site will help trading activities at the market.

Introduction

99
The meeting started with self-introduction after the Presiding Member had welcomed
the WARFP Safeguards Team from Accra and called on the team to brief management.

Highlights of Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP)

The Social Safeguards Specialist for WARFP, Mr. Augustine Ampoma, briefed
management of Keta Municipal Assembly on the draft ARAP. Among the key issues
raised were the temporary relocation of fishermen and fish processors, permanent
relocation of three project affected persons, and an improvement of fish pond as part of
the process of making the project environs tidy.

He also briefed management on the impact of the project on waste management since
some community members use a crude dump site near the proposed site, especially the
need for the Municipal Assembly to introduce skip containers. He indicated that the
project has plans to procure skip containers and also sensitize the community on good
waste management practices but called on the Assembly to support the effort by
ensuring that the skip containers are emptied at regular intervals to avoid spillage. He
thanked the Municipal Assembly for their support during the preparatory stage of the
report and called for their input.

Comments from KEMA

The Presiding member of the Municipal Assembly thanked the Safeguards Team for
making effort to seek their views on the Draft Report. He indicated that he had read the
Draft Document and agrees with most of the recommendations. He inquired when the
training for the Grievance Redress Committee would take place. Dr. Emmanuel Abeka
100
explained that the training would commence immediately WARFP secures approval from
the World Bank.

The Environmental Health Officer inquired from the Team who was responsible for the
purchase of the skip container. Dr. Abeka explained that the cost of the container would
be borne by WARFP. He said although the container would be paid for by the project,
the collection and disposal would be the responsibility of the Waste Department Unit of
the Municipal Assembly.

The Municipal Planning Officer inquired why the costs of the relocation activities have
been sourced to KeMa’s Common Fund. Mr. Ampoma explained that the Member of
Parliament for Anloga Constituency Hon. Humado has agreed to fund the relocation
activities through his MP’s share of the Common Fund.

The Assemblyman for Lagbati Electoral inquired about the status of the request made
by the Assembly to use the dredged spoils to reclaim land for the extension of the
market. Dr. Abeka explained that the dredged spoils would be tested for toxicity and if
found not to be toxic, the Municipal Assembly could seek approval from the Wild
Division of the Forestry Commission on what to do.

104
 matters of user fees would be determined by their own committee to ensure the
facility is properly maintained.

communities would be allowed to carry fish and shrimps to Anloga for
processing. Mr. Ampoma Indicated that such a determination would be made by
the association and their partners.

3. Madam Agbetsu Benedicta made a proposal for the drying area to be expanded
