| Summary of Environmental and Social Issues |
Environmental issues will be address under PPTA beginning with the required Initial Environmental Examinations and any environmental impact assessments as may be needed. This is fully budgeted in the PPTA.
Relocation (temporary or permanent) may be required for some components such as wastewater treatment. Land acquisition and resettlement framework (LARF) will be prepared; land acquisition and resettlement plans (LARPs) will be prepared if needed. Social assessment survey will confirm if there are affected indigenous people in participating cities. This is unlikely as such tribal communities existing outside the cultural and legal mainstream of Pakistan society are generally not present in Punjab intermediate cities. ARF will be relevant to all MFF tranches. |
