| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Environmental Aspects | The environmental classification for Tranche 1 Project is category B. An initial environmental examination (IEE) was carried out in accordance with ADB's Environment Policy (2002) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines. It shows that Tranche 1 Project road would not have a significant irreversible or permanent, negative environmental impact during or after construction works. MOTC, in its contracts with the construction firm, will require it to elaborate and implement the environmental management plan (EMP) outlined in the IEE, and abide by the environmental laws and regulations of Armenia and ADB's policies, procedures and guidelines, specifically its Environment Policy, to avoid or alleviate temporary impact. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| During Project Design |
The concerned stakeholders are grouped into (i) project sponsors - a central government represented by the ministries of economy (MOE), finance (MOF), and transport and communications (MOTC); (ii) regional administrations of the five marzpetaran (regional subdivision) where the road corridor lies, (iii) community leaders and councils of Avagani (council of elderly), (iv) community members, land owners and road users, (v) international organizations working in the project areas , (vi) local and international NGOs , and other donor/funding organizations. These groups were consulted through interviews, group discussions, questionnaires and surveys to identify and incorporate their individual concerns in the project and overall program design and subsequent implementation with regard to detailed engineering designs, social development, resettlement and environment related issues. |

| During Project Implementation | The Tranche 1 project will develop a monitoring mechanism for resettlement, managing environment, and addressing concerns of the road users, communities and other project stakeholders. It will also help build capacity in the EA/IA for managing these project aspects. Various workshops, public consultations and hearings will be held during the implementation of the Program to implement each individual tranche. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
