| Summary of Environmental and Social Issues |
While there are sites which are environmentally sensitive in Rajasthan, no urban infrastructure sub-projects will be sited in such areas. Project investments in tourism infrastructure will ensure that there are no adverse impacts on sites of religious and tourism importance. The Project will improve sanitation and solid waste management systems. The Project will ensure that subprojects with solid waste (e.g. landfill) and/or wastewater (e.g. wastewater treatment plant) components will have no potential adverse environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated.
The Project will improve the living conditions and urban environment, and optimize social and economic development in 15 urban centers of Rajasthan. This will be achieved through investments in urban infrastructure, in urban water supply, urban environmental improvements, urban transport, tourism infrastructure, and public health services in the project ULBs of Rajasthan. The Project will also include policy reforms to strengthen urban governance, management and support for priority investments in urban infrastructure and services. Given the likely scope of the ensuing investment project and the dominant role of women in household management, women are expected to be the primary recipients of the benefits from urban infrastructure and service improvements. No adverse impact is expected on indigenous people. An indigenous development framework and/or indigenous' people's development plans will be prepared as required. |
