contracted Interface Consulting Ltd to undertake an Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment (ESIA)/ Environmental and Social Project Brief, Resettlement Action Plan
(RAP) and Social Protection Plans (SPP) for Large Solar Powered Piped Water Supply
Systems and Sanitation Facilities in Yumbe District
To address the water supply gap in Yumbe, 6 solar-powered piped water supply systems and
22 toilets have been proposed. These water supply and sanitation infrastructure will be
implemented as part of the strategy to improve access to clean water, improved sanitation and
hygiene in the refugee host communities.
The main components of the Large Solar piped water systems will include; a production well
as a water source, a raw water pumping main to a reservoir, an elevated storage reservoir on a
steel tower, Solar Pumps, Solar Panels, chlorine dosing unit, pump motor, pump house,
distribution network, and service connections. The project will also support sanitations
facilities and water source protection activities in all the project areas.
The objective of this inception report is to present an agreed, appropriate and clear
methodological approach to addressing the approved Terms of Reference (TOR) for the
consultancy services.
The Inception Report will serve as a road-map for the conduct of the assignment, for guiding
the consultant team, informing the Client and other key stakeholders and facilitating quality
assurance of the expected outputs.
The ESIA, RAP and Water source protection studies will be prepared to guide the design or
operating procedures in which the project components must comply with environmental
safeguards, such as effluent standards, extraction limits, receiving water quality standards,
dust, noise standards, land requirements and road safety standards among any other legal
steps necessary to ensure the effective implementation of the identified environmental social
protection and impact mitigation measures.
The preparation of the studies will entail an inclusive, multi-sectoral and participatory
approach involving all the relevant national agencies, district and sub-counties through a
consultative process. Thematic and targeted consultations will be made to build consensus
built in line with the constitutional requirements for the participation of stakeholders in the
ESIA and RAP process.
Consultative meetings will be held across the district with representations across all the
targeted sub-counties in the district.
The preparation of the ESIA, RAP and source protection plans will involve the collection of
both primary and secondary data from the district. The Inception Phase has been substantially

concluded and the consultant has now embarked on the next phase of the assignment: Data
Collection, Stakeholder Consultations and Desk Review

1 Introduction and Background
1.1 General
This document is the Inception Report prepared by the Consultant, Interface Consulting Ltd,
according to the Contract with the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) for the
Consultancy Servies to Conduct Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA),
Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and Source Protection Plans (SPP) for Large Solar Powered
Piped Water Supply Systems and Sanitation Facilities in Refugee Settlements and Host
Communities of Yumbe District. Procurement Reference; MWE/CONS/21-22/00020.
The contract for the assignment was signed on 12th January 2023, and the date for the
commencement of the services was 30th January 2023
The report is an elaboration and refinement of the Consultant’s technical proposal, in light of
the initial consultations with the Client and other stakeholders. As such, the report indicates
specific activities and work plan in response to issues that have become apparent since the
commencement of work.
1.2 Project Background

The Government of Uganda received credit from the World Bank towards the
implementation of the Integrated Water Management and Development Project (IWMDP).
The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve access to water supply and
sanitation services, capacity for integrated water resources management and the operational
performance of service providers in project areas. The project will also contribute to the
achievement of National Development Plan III objectives, Vision 2040 and Sustainable
Development Goals. Under the IWMDP, funds have been provided for Environmental and
Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and Source Protection
Plans (SPP).
To address the water supply gap in Yumbe, 6 solar-powered piped water supply systems and
22 toilets have been proposed. These water supply and sanitation infrastructure will be
implemented as part of the strategy to improve access to clean water, improved sanitation and
hygiene in the refugee host communities.
The main components of the Large Solar piped water systems will include a production well
as a water source, a raw water pumping main to a reservoir, an elevated storage reservoir on a
steel tower, Solar Pumps, Solar Panels, chlorine dosing unit, pump motor, pump house,
distribution network, and service connections as shown in figure 1-1 below. The project will
also support sanitation facilities and water source protection activities in all the project areas.

1.2.1 Proposed Large Solar-Powered Piped Water Supply Systems

The typical groundwater sources will comprise drilled boreholes of high yields of at least 12
m3/h powered by solar and pumped to elevated storage steel tanks of a minimum of 100 m 3
and piped to a radius of at least 2 Km network (or as the pressure may permit). To achieve a
minimum of 12 m3/h a series of wells will be drilled to supply a particular network. Such a
system is capable of meeting the daily drinking water needs of at least 5,000 people.
Compared to pumped systems, solar-driven systems are preferred because of:
i. Low O&M costs
ii. Ability to be extended to cover wider areas and not just the point source.
iii. Reduction of walking distance
iv. Elimination of long queues at point sources
The groundwater potential will be assessed using the established framework and guidelines
for water source protection. Water source protection is aimed at, 1. Improving water quality
by minimizing risks to humans and livestock and damage to pumps and water equipment, 2.
Reliability of water quantity by ensuring adequate yields to meet demand and minimize
seasonal variations, and 3. Better livelihood opportunities through sustainable land
management and poverty reduction. In a catchment-based approach, protection of the
groundwater resource will be considered including the application and acquisition of
groundwater abstraction permits for each of the schemes implemented.
Already in the feasibility study carried out in 2010, several existing boreholes were identified
as having the potential to be developed into production wells and these could be solar

pumped and networked to supply some of the villages in water-stressed Sub Counties in the
selected districts.
1.2.2 Proposed Sanitation

A total of 22 toilets are proposed to improve the sanitation situation in the project area. These
facilities will be constructed in schools, health facilities, and administrative centres in the
district.
These facilities will be constructed in markets, schools, health facilities, and administrative
centres in the selected districts. The appropriate location and service area for the proposed
sanitation facilities will be confirmed by this ESIA and feasibility study.
1.3 Proposed Rural Growth Centers

The proposed large solar-powered water supply systems for each RGC under the project shall
comprise production boreholes with solar-powered submersible pumps, a pumping station, a
transmission main to a storage reservoir, Pressed steel storage tanks, primary and secondary
distribution systems and yard connections. The project will support power supply to augment
the solar power from the national grid by constructing 3 phase power lines for each of the
water supply systems if possible. Each scheme shall also have public sanitation facilities, a
water office and other auxiliary facilities such as workers' camps, waste disposal sites,
material sources, and storage yards. In addition, the project shall support water
source/catchment protection activities to preserve the quantity and quality of the water at the
planned water sources.
The proposed Rural Growth Centers (RGCs) in Yumbe District include:
(i) Lomunga RGC in Kululu Sub County

(ii) Nyori – Lodonga RGC in Ewanga Sub County
(iii) Lobe RGC in Kei Sub County
(iv) Rodo RGC in Kei Sub County
(v) Awoba RGC in Kei Sub County
(vi) Goboro RGC in Kochi Sub County
1.4 Objective of the Assignment
The objectives of the assignment are:
(i) To conduct an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and prepare a
Project Brief/ESIS detailing the potential adverse biophysical and socio-economic
impacts of the proposed project
(ii) To prepare detailed Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) and put in place, measures to
mitigate such impacts; and
(iii) To prepare a Source Protection Plan (SPP)

4 Preliminary Findings
The activities proposed in the Technical Proposal have been reviewed to take into
consideration the preliminary findings of the inception phase.
4.1 Stakeholder consultations

During the consultations at the reconnaissance visit, several issues/concerns were raised at all
levels from district up to sub-county levels and these are summarized in the sections below:
Consultation with LCV

The consultant had a consultative meeting with the LCV, Mr Abdul Mutalib Ariku. The
chairman expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Water and Environment and requested to
be informed of the timelines of the project implementation since the community is in dire
need of safe water.
Figure 4-2: Meeting with the LCV
Consultation with CAO

The consultant had a meeting with the Assistant Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Mr
Drajiga Rasul M. on 30th January 2023 who had the following concerns on the project:
 Yumbe District is water stressed coupled with a big population. He further mentioned
that one system is capable of supporting 5-6 villages hence water not being sufficient
for the entire community.
 Operational and Maintenance (O&M) of the existing boreholes is still a challenge and
National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) should come in support, manage
and maintain the proposed piped water supply systems.
 The host communities claimed that the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) has
grabbed land from them for the resettlement of refugees and cautioned the team to
always make proper introductions and explain the works to be carried out to the
respective communities.

Figure 4-3: Meeting with the Assistant CAO at Yumbe District Headquarters
Consultation with residents of Kululu Sub-County

The residents of Kululu Sub-County were consulted, and these were some of the issues that
were raised:
 The issue of long distances to the existing boreholes and long queues especially
during the dry seasons causing domestic violence. Some people opt to fetch water
from unprotected wells because of long queues.
 Waterborne diseases are rampant during the rainy seasons as communities mostly use
water in the unprotected springs and swamps due to runoff however, it is not the case
during the dry seasons as the communities have no other choice but to utilize only the
boreholes.
 Sub-county officials requested that the communities should be considered first for
employment opportunities.

Figure 4-4: Meeting with residents of Kululu Sub-County at Kirilo village
Consultation with officials of Kochi Sub-County

The consultant had a consultation meeting with the officials of Kochi Sub-County, and these
were the major concerns raised:
 The majority of the homesteads in the host communities have pit latrines with hand-
washing facilities but the problem is water. Sanitation is a bit fair according to sub-
county officials and this is because in any household without the pit latrine, the head
of the household is imprisoned, and his property is confiscated to be sold and get
funds for the construction of the pit latrine.
 The households are supposed to contribute a fee of 1000-2000 per month for the use
of the boreholes and this fee is collected by the water user committees.
 Some people run away from some villages due to the lack of water in those villages
during the dry seasons because the majority of the population is into farming and crop
production.
 The water user committee also noted that some boreholes are hard to pump.
 Some of the communities use boreholes and R. Kochi as a source of domestic water.
Consultation with a staff of Goboro Primary School

 Goboro P/S is located in Goboro RGC with a population of 732 girls and 699 boys
making a total of 1431 pupils (both nationals and refugees).
 The school has one toilet with 5 stances and is in good condition and used by both the
teachers and pupils. However, the toilet doesn’t have a stance for persons with
disabilities. The toilet facility has hand washing facilities without water due to water
scarcity.
 According to the Deputy Headteacher, the toilet facilities are not enough and often get
full. Parent Teacher Association (PTA) mobilize funds to empty the toilet and it costs
approximately an average UGX.800,000/= per year.

Figure 4-5: Meeting with the staff members of Goboro P/S
Figure 4-6: Toilet facility at Goboro P/S
Consultation with a staff member of Goboro HCII

 Goboro HC II is located in Goboro RGC with a population of around 20,000 patients
and 200 In-patients (both nationals and refugees).
 The Health Center (HC) has 1 sanitation facility for the hospital staff and 1 sanitation
facility with 5 stances for the patients. The healthcare facility has no access to water
during the dry season, which poses a risk during treatment. There was one hand-
washing facility, however, this facility had not been used in a long time.
 The health care facility has a dumping ground for solid waste where the wastes are
accumulated and burnt.

Figure 4-8: Toilet facility at Goboro HCII
Consultation with officials of Kei Sub-County

The consultant had a consultation meeting with the officials of Kei Sub-County, and these
were the major concerns raised:
 The majority of the homesteads in the host communities have pit latrines with hand-
washing facilities but the problem is water.
 The communities requested two or more stances for the collection of water to be
considered during the construction of the solar piped water supply systems.
 The issue of long distances to the existing boreholes and long queues especially
during the dry seasons causing domestic fights. Some people opt to fetch water from
unprotected wells because of long queues.

Figure 4-9: Meeting with Kei S/C officials
Consultation with officials of Ewanga Sub-County

The consultant had a consultation meeting with the officials of Ewanga Sub-County at
Lodonga Sub-County offices, and these were the major concerns raised:
 Officials of the Ewanga sub-county requested for the piped water supply systems to
be extended to farms as their source of income is mainly farming.
 Some people relocate to other villages due to the lack of water during the dry seasons.
Figure 4-10: Meeting with officials of Ewanga S/C (ToRs) at Lodonga S/C offices
4.2 Preliminary site appreciation

During the site visits with MWE, the consultant was able to make the following observations
among others:

4.2.1 Project Area

Yumbe District is one of Uganda's northern border districts. The district is bordered by South
Sudan to the North, Moyo District to the East, Adjumani District to the South East, Arua
District to the south, Maracha District to the south West and Koboko District to the west. The
district headquarters of Yumbe is located approximately 75 kilometres (47 mi), by road,
North of Arua, the largest town in the sub-region. The coordinates of the district are 03 28N,
and 31 15E.
Insert map from aziz
4.2.2 General status of the existing water supply facilities

Most of the existing water supply facilities in the Sub counties visited are seasonal wells.
This leaves very few functioning wells for a very large population. Some boreholes are
shared among 3 or more villages or even 2 sub-counties. Other sources of water include
seasonal springs and swamps that the locals use during the rainy season and R. Kochi.
4.2.3 Topographical features
Yumbe District is characterized by extensive flat landscapes. Although the Eastern and
Northern part has several hills. The average Altitude of Yumbe is 850 Metres above Sea
Level. The area is mostly covered by cropland, trees and shrubs.
4.2.4 General development of the current and targeted areas for water supply
The major trading centres consist of a core built up with permanent houses and a Fringe
scattered with semi-permanent houses. The majority of homesteads use solar as a source of
lighting.
Figure 4-11: Trading centre with electric pole power lines and Goboro market respectively
4.2.5 Economic Activities.

The main economic activity in the project area is agriculture. The main food crops grown are
maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, millet, simsim, sorghum, beans, groundnuts, mangoes and
sunflower. Tobacco is also grown in the project area. Other income-generating activities
include; brick making, trade for small business owners especially in trading centres, and sale
of charcoal and wood fuel which is degrading the environment.

Figure 4-12: Brick making in the project area
Figure 4-13: Crop farming and livestock farming

4.4 Survey Questionnaires
Survey questionnaires will be developed and administered to individuals from selected
households in the targeted Rural Growth Centres (RGCs). The developed questionnaire will
capture quantitative information on the following broad themes:

Table 4-5: Information to be captured in the proposed questionnaire for ESIA activities
Socio-demographic characteristics of the Access to Water Supply and Sanitation
respondent Services
• Position of the respondent in the • Water sources/ coverage;
household, age, gender religion • Water use; water demand, collection
education, marital status and storage
• Family size • Water collection by gender and age
• Housing characteristics • Household participation in operation
• Economic Information and maintenance
• Occupation • Willingness and affordability to pay
• Type of income-generating activities • Existing sanitation services
• Income/expenditure • Prevalence of waterborne diseases.
• Latrine construction and challenges
4.5 Sanitation facilities

According to the Yumbe District Development Plan 2020/2025, the latrine coverage stands at
78.1% down from over 80% in 2020. The table below shows a detailed description of the
state of sanitation and hygiene in the district. In addition, the consultant observed the
following:
 The sanitation facilities in the markets were not well-kept and clean. The reason for
this was the lack of water to clean the facilities.
 The fees for toilets in public latrines were costly to some, so most people practised
Open Defecation or the Kaveera Method.
 No hand washing facilities were functional. Most had broken down and did not have
any water.
 Yumbe has one faecal sludge treatment facility that the district uses.
 Most schools in the project area have one functioning latrine which is shared by both
the staff and students of both genders
 There were no Menstrual Hygiene facilities for girls in most schools. The girls either
used female teachers' homes to change, the health centres or they do not attend school
during this time.
4.6 Summary of key challenges

One of the major challenges the consultant faced is that some of the sub-counties had been
split into smaller sub-counties which might affect the project area of influence as now there
are new administrative units for the proposed RGCs. For example, the former Kululu sub-
county was split into Bijo sub-county and Kululu sub-county, the point water source is
located in Bijo sub-county, this might result in a conflict of interest between the new
administrative unit of Bijo sub-county and that of new Kululu sub-county.
A map of sub-counties with boundaries of administrative units is shown below:
Another challenge is the dry and low-yielding wells as some of the wells drilled, end up
becoming dry within a few years (less than 5 years), while others have low yield and dry up
during the dry seasons.

No proper Operation and Maintenance (O&M) measures as most of the villages have water
user committees, but unfortunately, these committees have failed to raise the required funds
for maintaining the existing boreholes.

5 Methodology, Approach and Work Plan

Based on the review of existing information, the preliminary field visit findings and the
identified challenges, the method of execution proposed in the technical proposal of
delivering the ESIA, RAP and Source Protection Plan (SPP) for the proposed solar piped
water supply systems and sanitation facilities is further discussed in this chapter.
5.1 Methodology
The assignment can be segmented into four main tasks outlined below and detailed in
subsequent sections:
1. Inception phase
2. Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
3. Resettlement Action Plan
4. Source Protection Plan Development
Task 1: Inception phase

The inception phase will be about a month period of work in which the Consultant will
mobilize staff, initial site visits and introduction, attend scheduled meetings with the MWE,
carry out preliminary consultation with key stakeholders etc.
A. Staff mobilization
During the inception phase, all staff nominated in the Consultant’s technical proposal have
been mobilized and their availability confirmed to work on the project.
B. Kick-off meeting
An inception kick-off meeting organized by the MWE attended by the Consultant’s key staff
has already taken place, and key issues raised by the Client were noted. Of particular
importance are the timelines of the work, confirmation of available project materials such as
the design reports, site drilling reports, contacts of key focal persons in the project area etc.
C. Document reviews
Several relevant documents including published and unpublished literature have been
reviewed during the inception phase including sector reports, and guidelines for water supply
and sanitation system design as well as environmental impact assessment.
D. Preliminary site visits
The Consultant has conducted an initial visit to the project sites and held discussions with
district officials of Yumbe, and the Ministry regional office. The purpose was to carry out a
preliminary assessment of the project area and scope for ESIA. Stakeholder identification
was documented in the inception report and a stakeholder mapping was developed. Key
findings from the field visits and preliminary consultations as well as a revised work plan are
highlighted in the Inception Report.
Task 2: Environmental and Social Impact Assessment

The planned works for all the water supply and sanitation systems will invariably have an
impact on the environment. Therefore, the Consultants will carry out an environmental
assessment of the existing conditions. This will provide baseline data as a basis for decision-
making. All environmental consequences of the project, negative and positive, will be
identified and considered during the selection, planning and design of the system and overall
project components. Rapid assessment methods will be used for the alternatives and greater
detail given to the final solution.
A. Framework for Environmental Assessment
ESIA practice in Uganda is guided by the National Environment Management Policy 1994.
The National Environmental Act no.5 of 2019 provides for the National Environment
Management Agency NEMA as the principal agency to coordinate the sustainable
management of the environment. Several other sector-specific documents will be used to
guide the EIA process for the large solar-powered water supplies. These include Water Act,
Cap 153, the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2020; the Environmental
Impact Assessment Guidelines for Water Resources Related Projects in Uganda MWE (2011)
etc. The Table below outlines the National Environment Act, 2019, EIA requirements at the
feasibility study and preliminary design stage.

B. Approach to ESIA Study Process

The figure below depicts the process and decision-making the ESIA study will undergo. The
screening will be carried out parallel to the socio-economic survey in the Project area.
Figure 5-20: ESIA Study Process (Adapted from EIA Guidelines for Water Resources-related projects
in Uganda (MWE, 2011)

C. Screening
A screening checklist will be applied to the large solar-powered water supply projects. They
will be categorized, based on the results of the screening. On behalf of the Ministry of Water
and Environment (MWE), a project brief will then be prepared and submitted to NEMA and
copied to MWE. The content of the project brief is outlined below:
D. Project brief content
 Name and address of the developer
 Name, purpose, objectives and nature of water project following the categories
identified in the Third Schedule of the National Environment Act NEA;
 Description of the project site and its surroundings where the project is to be located
including GPS coordinates, village, parish, sub-county, county and district)
 Site location map
 Policies, laws, and regulations governing the project
 Description of project design and activities that shall be undertaken during and after
the development of the project
 Description of the equipment to be installed and any buildings or related facilities
 Description of the materials and input that the project shall use
 Description of the products and by-products, including waste to be generated
 Description of any likely environmental impacts of the project and how they will be
eliminated or mitigated during the implementation of various phases/ stages of the
project.
 Description of any other alternatives which are being considered e.g. siting,
technology, construction and operation procedures, sources of raw materials, handling
of waste etc); and
 Any other information that may be useful in determining the level of EIA required by
NEMA and decommissioning and restoration plans for closure and restoration of the
site to productive post-closure use.
E. Project brief contents

NEMA’s response to the project brief will determine the next step. NEMA will assess and
make a decision either to:
 Exempt projects from further assessment or not
 Provide conditional or unconditional approval
 Guide the extent of the ESIA Study to be undertaken, if it is determined that the
projects will result in significant environmental impact
F. ESIA Study
The ESIA Study will typically be carried out in the following steps:
 Scoping—outlining potential outcomes of the project

 Prediction—deducing the degree to which changes will occur

 Evaluation—assessing the significance of the changes
 Mitigation—identifying measures to alleviate potential impacts
 Monitoring—design of an appropriate monitoring procedure to track
compliance with identified mitigation measures
 Reporting and documentation—providing a basis for an informed decision to
be made by NEMA
G. Scoping for Water resources related Projects

Projects will be categorized after the screening, and this will determine the scope and
methodology of the ESIA process. For instance, category 3 projects only require partial
environmental assessment; category 4 projects require full ESIA etc. If the planned projects
are determined to be in category 4, scoping will be undertaken using a specific checklist to
outline key issues and from these prepare appropriate ToR. The importance of potential
impacts will be assessed based on factors outlined in the Box below. Scoping will be carried
out in close consultation and active participation of the local community, and with approval
from NEMA.
i. Direct or indirect impacts

ii. Temporary or permanent impacts
iii. Reversible or irreversible impacts
iv. Short term or long term impacts
v. Simple or complex impacts
vi. Primary or secondary impacts
vii. Local or regional or global impacts
viii. Cumulative or non-cumulative impacts
ix. Continuous or intermittent impacts
Box 1 Classification of environmental impacts

The main output of the scoping exercise will be the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the ESIA
study. These will be submitted to NEMA for review and approval (in consultation with
DWRM). The Consultant’s team will then proceed to conduct the ESIA Study, based on the
approved ToR. Key project stakeholders at WSDF- N, district and community level will be
consulted extensively during the process.
H. Assessing Environmental Impacts
The Consultant will assess and describe any potential significant biophysical, health, socio-
cultural and economic impacts that could result from the projects. Potential environmental

impacts will be identified for each stage of the project and their significance described in
detail. Some of the environmental impacts that could result from water resources projects
include:
 Changes in land use and value, and ecological impacts
 Obstruction of local drainage, or increased soil erosion
 Pollution of groundwater
The Consultant will assess the risk posed by the potential impacts in terms of probability,
magnitude, ease of mitigation, reversibility etc., in the context of the prevailing
environmental conditions and sensitivities in the project area, whilst taking into consideration
the concerns and views of stakeholders. In addition to the checklists developed for
consultation and analysis, the Consultant will use mapping (overlays), and simulation
techniques to demonstrate the potential environmental and social impact of different project
scenarios and alternatives at the different project stages (construction, operation and
maintenance). More in-depth work will be done for major impacts, assessing the potential
socio-economic outcomes and taking into consideration the views of key stakeholders and
applicable national laws and policies.
I. Analysis of project alternatives
Alternatives that will be considered during the ESIA Study will include
 No project option; this could be relative to the need of the projects;
 Alternative locations and routing alternatives for the project to obtain
maximum benefit from the economical, planning and environmental
considerations;
 Different scales for the project and the flexibility of its size;
 Different alternative technology to be used in the activity;
 Different alternatives for land use to reach the optimum environmental
performance;
 Different alternatives for the construction process: day or night to avoid noise
nuisance, i.e. suitable time for work with minimum impact.
J. Impact mitigation and enhancement

On completion of the ESIA Study, once it becomes apparent that likely impacts are
significant, the consultant will propose mitigation measures for likely negative impacts and
enhancement measures for the likely positive impacts.
K. Environmental Management Plan
The Consultant will prepare an Environmental Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the
Ministry of Water and Environment, and key stakeholders. It will detail the measures to be
put in place, to minimize adverse project impacts at all stages of the project cycle. It will also
include the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the implementation, of the
plan, a budget for activities and timing. The ESMP will be part of the overall ESIA report.
Task 3: Resettlement Action Plan (RAP )

A. Legal Due Diligence Process
The Legal Due Diligence requirements that the team will carry out include the following 4
steps:
Step 1 - Title search: In the process of conducting legal due diligence, we will request
ownership documents from all PAPs and we will conduct a search on the title at the District
Land Office. Questions that the team will consider and details that they will look into during
the title search and investigation process will include:
 Is the land formally registered in the Land Titles register and whose name is it
registered under?
 Is the name in the Land Titles Register the same as the party that we are
dealing with on the ground? Does the title correspond to the name and
identification of the seller/owner?
 Is the title a Freehold or leasehold? If it is a leasehold, what are the terms of the
lease and expiry date? Are there any restrictive conditions in the lease that may
prevent the registered proprietor from dealing with the Project?
 Particulars of the title or title reference i.e. Volume, Folio, Block, location
 Are there any encumbrances on the property? For example, is the property
mortgaged to a bank or other parties? Are there any constraints or
impediments, encumbrances, or third-party rights or claims of whatever nature
that may affect or impede the acquisition of the property? If so the team will
collect the details of the mortgage or encumbrance and the information of all
parties involved.
 Are there any caveats on the property? Does the caveat point to a deeper
dispute surrounding the property? If there are caveats on the property, the team
will seek to obtain a copy thereof and investigate the possibility and difficulty
of having it removed.
 If the registered proprietor is a legal or corporate entity, where does the
authority to deal with its land and property lie (such as the authority to make
and conclude a sale)?
 What organs of the legal or corporate entity are authorized or empowered to
carry out the transaction and what procedures must they follow?
Step 2 - Site inspection, Cadastral Survey (opening of boundaries): The team will carry
out site inspections of formally registered properties to see how the situation on the ground
compares with what is formally on the books. This investigation will look at who occupies
the land and what it is being used for and will also involve cadastral surveys (opening of
boundaries), marking all the boundaries of properties. The inspection will verify the location,
dimensions, and size of the land parcel as well as juridical information (comprising of the

ownership of and the legal interests in the parcels of land). The team will prepare a site report
for each site inspection.
Step 3 - Collate the results of the title search: Following the site inspection and the title
search, the team will collate the findings of the title search with the findings of the site
inspection and the results of the cadastral survey (opening of boundaries) for each property.
Uganda’s legal regime allows for the existence of multiple tenures and at the same time a
possibility of layers of rights on the same piece of land. These may include registered
interests, unregistered interests, or multiple registered interests of varying degrees and types
(such as leaseholds on a freehold or mailo land).
The protection and rights according to the occupants of registered land could result in
overlapping rights of owners and lawful occupants, which could make it very difficult to
undertake land market transactions on some of the impacted lands. This is because many
registered landowners are not in possession of their land and cannot sell the land because it is
tenanted or occupied by ‘tenants’. These ‘tenants’ holders have no title to the land, and
cannot legally sell or mortgage the land.
As such, the due diligence requirements will vary depending on the circumstances of every
case/category of cases.
Step 4 - Identification of Owners: Once the Certificate of Title and the ownership of a
property have been verified, or the unregistered or informal land/property right has been
established, the next ancillary requirement would be for Verification of the Identity of the
registered proprietor or ascertained owner. This will involve collecting basic information on
the land owner including full legal name, contact details, etc. Consideration may be given to
statutory declarations on oath or by some form of adjudication by the committee before
acquisition.
The due diligence process in these cases will involve inspection of any documentary evidence
of purchase, gift or inheritance of the land; interviews of the land owners, elders, neighbours
and civic leaders; and face-to-face meetings with these persons to obtain statutory
declarations on oath to attest to land ownership and land usage.
In some cases, there may be ‘homemade’ or bespoke agreements of sale providing evidence
of claims to occupancy rights; in these cases, rigorous follow-up will be required to ensure
that these documents are duly executed and witnessed. There will have to be an analysis of all
the available evidence of ownership of an unregistered or informal right with individual
components or aspects of that evidence being verified against the other evidence in the
continuum of proof of ownership, before arriving at a definitive finding as to ownership.
A few specific cases are worth noting in further detail, as summarized in the next few
paragraphs.
 In cases where land is not formally titled but is instead held under customary
tenure, due diligence procedures will involve:
 Identification of the centres of authority or persons in positions of

leadership/decision-makers on matters concerning the land and liaising with
them;
 Identification of owners in common of any given land;
 Information dissemination (advise relevant parties on how to organise
themselves for purposes of compensation
 Developing procedures and formulas for the distribution of compensation
among groups of owners for common land;
 Identification of boundaries;
 Identification and recording of any third-party claims to the land or persons
claiming other customary rights to the land (not equivalent to ownership); and
In cases where land has overlapping interests on private lands, the due diligence procedures
will involve:
 Identification of the lawful or bona fide occupant(s) on the land;
 Verification of standing on payment of rent by occupants to the landlord; and
 Verification of ownership claims of particular immovable structures and assets.
 Where lands are encumbered by another interest such as a lease or mortgage,
the due diligence procedures will involve:
 Identification of lessee, lessor, sub lessee and sub lessor (as applicable);
 Verification of leasehold titles through register searches;
 Ascertain the details of the lease and subleases (duration, outstanding period of
the lease, etc.); and
 Verification of ownership (lessee, lessor, sub lessee or sub lessor) for movable
and immovable property and assets.
 Where land is subject to a mortgage, the due diligence procedures will require
the Project to obtain and verify all information about the mortgage including
the mortgagor, mortgagee, duration of the mortgage and all outstanding sums
of money on the mortgage.
 Where land is subject to succession contestation, the Project will be required to
provide relevant information and offer suggestions on how succession disputes
will be resolved.
A clear understanding of the legal issues as they relate to legal due diligence and land titling
should be included in all RAPs. This legal framework should include details on:
 The scope of the power of an eminent domain, the nature of compensation
associated with it, both in terms of the valuation methodology and the timing of
payment;
 The legal and administrative procedures applicable, including the appeals
process and the normal timeframe for such procedures;
 Land titling and registration procedures; and

 Laws and regulations relating to the agencies responsible for implementing

resettlement and those related to land compensation, consolidation, land use,
environment, water use, and social welfare.
During detailed design, the team (led by the team’s registered land surveyors and legal
counsel) will conduct legal due diligence to identify if any land in the Project area is titled by:
 Identifying any titled or previously surveyed plots;
 Surveying the land; and
 Undertaking legal due diligence through title deeds searches, verification of
titles, confirmation of ownership, and identification of exact landholdings. A
review of ownership documents issued through Village Councils and Ward
offices will form part of this exercise.
The team’s legal counsel, valuers and land surveyors will also execute land and asset
transaction potentially including outright purchases, lease agreements, easements and
wayleave agreements.
B. Detailed Survey Data Collection for the Infrastructure Components
The consultant will conduct an in-depth analysis of available information to develop a
surveying strategy and instruments that address existing gaps and ensure appropriate
information is available for resettlement planning purposes. Overall, the consultant will
develop the following:
Land Survey: to be applied to all households irrespective of the type of displacement; and,
Census and Socio-economic Survey: long and short survey form versions to be applied to
physically and economically displaced households, respectively;
We will conduct the Land Survey in cooperation with a local, licensed Land Surveyor, who
will follow relevant regulations during the surveying exercise. The Land Surveyor will
demarcate all affected lands within the Project area and capture the following information:
 Identification of all land owners/users: all persons who have a legitimate claim to
an asset will be identified and recorded in the survey form;
 GPS coordinates of the full perimeter of all land assets: differential GPS (DGPS)
technology should be used to capture the perimeter of all impacted land assets. This
technology is superior to handheld GPS data collection and accurate data is
particularly important in resolving land disputes and preparing for implementation.;
and,
 Digital photographic record: digital photographs of land assets will be taken, at
least one of which will include all identified land owners along with identification
information.
Setting out the survey process for the pipeline corridor will encompass three major aspects:

 Establishment of geodetic control along the route;

 Setting out and parcel boundary surveys; and
 Processing.
Asset Inventory: to be applied to all households irrespective of the type of displacement.
All survey instruments will be developed, modified, and tested in the field to ensure the
relevance of the information to be collected.
These surveys and inventories will proceed parcel by parcel through the Project Footprint and
record a variety of information including parcel boundaries, legitimate ownership and use
rights, the type and nature of all immovable assets, and information on all impacted
households and persons.
Boundary demarcation is a critical component of this exercise. Demarcation will be
undertaken by professional land surveyors, working with high-resolution handheld GPS sets,
accompanied by the landholder in question, with the participation of local authorities and
neighbouring landholders.
The results of the demarcation exercise will be verified in the field by these three parties (our
surveyor, the affected landholder, and community observers). By proceeding in this manner,
we will reduce the risk of conflicts, including those over boundaries and ownership/use
rights.
The Asset Inventory will be compiled in cooperation with a local, licensed Valuer, who will
follow relevant regulations during the inventory exercise. The Valuer will identify all
immovable assets that will be affected by the Project and will assess the monetary value of
these assets based on local regulations and practices. The following assets will be included in
the inventory:
 All residential structures;
 All related outbuildings (cooking structures, latrines, etc.);
 Economically significant trees;
 Crops;
 Graves, shrines and other culturally significant sites; and,
 Any other economically significant asset.
The following data will be collected for each inventoried asset:

 GPS coordinates or boundary, as applicable;
 Asset attributes used to determine the monetary value (building materials, quality and
maturity of trees, maturity of crop, etc.); and,
 All legitimate asset owners/users.
This information will be entered into the database and be used in conjunction with other
surveyed data to compile compensation agreements for all PAPs. All Asset Inventory data
will be subject to the QC process that will be overseen by the Overall Team Leader and will
be coordinated with all other data collection activities to ensure a consistent methodology and
to minimize the impact on project-affected people.
Geodetic control establishment

Field data collection will be carried out using three sets of Trimble R8 GNSS receivers
working in static mode. Reference will be obtained from existing national control points
along the project area and a method of baseline triangulation will be adopted. This will
depend on an agreed coordinate system to adopt. If ITRF is to be adopted, reference will be
taken from those pre-established geodetic points which are expected to be supplied by the
client. If the local system (Arc 1960) is to be adopted reference will be taken from those
approved control points within the vicinity of the project area. Data will be downloaded and
processed using Trimble Business Centre software to compute baselines and perform network
adjustments. Network adjustment reports and Rinex files will be prepared and forwarded to
the department of surveys and mapping in Entebbe to seek approval.
Setting out and parcel boundary surveys
Coordinates for the project components will be fed into rovers and offsets will be staked.
Wooden pegs will be fixed to the extent of defining the area. These will be painted red and
white to ease identification. These will play a vital role in guiding the rest of the teams
(Socio-Economic, Culture and Heritage, Valuation, etc.) on the extent of the project area.
Consequently, all the affected land parcels will be measured. Their boundary positions will
be captured in the presence of the land owner, the neighbours and the representative of the
Local Council I chairperson to witness the survey.
Coordinates defining the position of a given parcel boundary node will be captured using the
Rover working in Real Time mode. Details of the land owners like names of spouses’
telephone contacts will be collected in due process. Sketches defining parcel polygons will be
made and properly coded to guide the plotting phase. Other details like buildings, sacred
trees, and cattle drinking ponds will all be captured. In cases where a given parcel had land
users, their details will be captured and superimposed onto the map.
For registered land, copies of titles will be collected, cadastral maps and data will be secured
from the district land offices and this information will be superimposed onto the strip map.
See the section below for further detail on the due diligence process related to registered,
unregistered and customary lands.
Processing
Processing of information will mainly involve the preparation of maps, drafting, form filling
and the preparation of master lists. This will be carried out by two CAD specialists who will
be stationed full-time in the field and office. Field data will be downloaded in CSV format
and Points defining the boundaries of a given parcel will be connected using polylines to

generate parcel polygons and areas computed. Details like names of the land owner, RAP
reference number, and areas affected will be entered onto the maps and strips will be
prepared for printing. Land survey forms will be prepared, filled and issued to the various
land owners for signing, witnessed by neighbours, spouses and the area Local council
chairperson. Spread sheets with details of the names of land owners, RAP reference number,
and area affected will be generated to feed into the preparation of the master list.
Survey Team
We anticipate mobilizing Survey Teams members commensurate to the extent of the
workload. Accompanying each team will be the Consultant sociologist, District Community
Development Officer, and the area Local Council Chairperson to register grievances. We
anticipate each Survey Team will be comprised as follows:
 1 parcel survey captain
 1 assistant parcel surveyor
 1 valuer
 social enumerators
Mobilization and orientation of all members of the survey team, plus the Engagement
Workers, will take 1 day and will take place in Yumbe.
Following field training/testing, the Survey Teams will mobilize to base communities where
they will operate and prepare to initiate the survey; the locations of the base points will be
identified during the Scoping Phase. The consultant estimates that each team will work
concurrently. Households will first be visited by the socio-economic team and then establish
a date for the visit of the land and asset inventory team. This will ensure faster surveying for
all households in all relevant projects and allow both teams to move independently.
As noted above, the consultant proposes that all data collection activities are conducted
electronically using tablets with open-source software (ODK Collect) that permits high
flexibility in design and changes to forms without compromising the quality of data.
Preparation of Strip Maps
A strip map represents the land affected by the project way leave representing the individual
Project Affected Persons (PAP) interest. The process to prepare the strip maps starts with
sensitisation of the leaders and the PAPs on the project clearly defining the Project, the
purpose and its effect on their land and developments.
Detail Data Capture for Compensation
The land area affected is pegged out on the ground for converting the design data to the
ground and simultaneously capturing the individual Project Affected Persons (PAP’s) extent
of interest to enable the valuation surveyor to reference each PAP’s affected properties and
development for purposes of attaching a compensation package in line with the prevailing
local laws on compensation guided by the Chief Government Valuer.

The land surveyor will produce a strip map showing the effect of the project on each PAP
with all details of the affected average shape of the land holding.
Strip Maps Validation
This map will be displayed at the local administrative unit (local council 1) for the affected
persons to view and confirm the spelling of their names and also verify that no ghosts have
been added by each PAP checking out their known neighbours. Corrections if necessary are
undertaken and the map is updated. This map also helps the Valuer to reconcile his captured
PAP’s data with that captured by the land surveyor. It is this strip map that is the basis and
foundation of the valuation report.
On this map, the village boundaries, sub-county, county and district boundaries are also
shown for ease of reference and if the land is to be acquired at a later stage, this strip map is
used for approval by the Planning Authority and the surveys department also use it to grant
cadastral survey permission
The team’s Data/GIS Manager and Data/GIS Coordinator will work together will aerial
imagery provided by Interface to develop strip maps for all areas along the Project footprint.
These will be created in ArcGIS and set up in such a way that new maps can easily be created
when information is updated.
This high-level analysis will be followed by a more detailed analysis of the aerial imagery to
identify specific impacts and characterize the nature and scope of displacement. This
examination of the terrain and vegetation will identify likely land uses, and develop a detailed
estimate of the total scope of displacement including physical and economic impacts. The
scope of displacement will inform the site visits and guide the development of detailed costs,
schedules and work plans.
Requirements to Support Unregistered Land Titling Process
Early in the RAP preparation process, we will work with our team’s Land Valuers and Legal
Counsel to define the nature of the different formal and informal land rights and land claims
that are present in Project affected areas. This will include detailing the appropriate measures
required to compensate for landholder and land ownership rights. In our experience, two
options are generally available for compensating customary landholders:
1. Compensating customary landholder/ users for displacement impacts and in
parallel concluding a formal real estate transaction with the underlying formal
land owners (e.g., in many cases this is the State); or
2. Formalizing the rights of customary landholders through land titling processes
and then concluding a formal real estate transaction with them.
In our experience, option 1 is significantly easier, less time-consuming and more practical in
terms of meeting Project schedules. Nevertheless, we anticipate exploring a variety of

options, once we have developed a more thorough understanding of the legal context and met
with relevant government agencies and departments.
Through systematic adjudication, owners of unregistered land may acquire certificates of
customary ownership (Land Act Cap. 227 section, 4). At the same time, holders of customary
land (individual, family, community, association) may also convert it into freehold (Land
Act, section 9), thereby progressively scaling up along the land rights continuum. Interface
proposes the following process for dealing with customary landowners with unregistered
land:
 Mobilisation and sensitisation of the communities
 Establishing and authoritatively ascertaining the existing land rights, limitations,
owners and rights of interested parties
 Mediation and reconciliation of parties with differences or disagreements over land
matters
 Confirmation and Marking of parcel boundaries
 Measurement of the dimensions of land and production of index maps
Certification
Interface Consulting Ltd, in collaboration with the Ministry of Water and Environment, will
closely follow through the process until the PAPs acquire certificates of title to their land.
Interface Consulting Limited will support the Ministry to then engage in negotiations with the
PAPs, execution of the necessary agreements, and registration of easements on the PAP's
certificates of title. Also, note that sporadic land registration processes will be promoted in
situations where they are deemed fit.
Selection of Replacement Land
The identification and allocation of replacement land will be a participatory process designed
to reinforce formal land tenure and support PAPs’ preferred livelihood strategies. Following
the IFC Performance Standards, efforts will be made to compensate on a like-for-like basis,
meaning replacement land with advantages at least equivalent to those of the original site will
be provided to individuals, households, and communities that lose land as a result of the
Project’s land acquisition program. To minimize land use for land-based livelihoods, options
will be identified in the livelihood restoration plan to prioritize sustainable intensification
where a smaller area can be made to produce as much or more than the original land base.
PAPs and other community leaders will be engaged through a variety of exercises noted
above, to identify available land that would meet the requirement of like-for-like. Once
replacement lands have been identified, Interface will work with the Project Team and
appropriate government bodies to secure agreements with landholders for the acquisition of
replacement lands.
In addition to the above technical work, the Interface team will work closely with local
authorities and residents in the existing communities flagged as potential resettlement host

communities regarding the implication. These discussions and their resolution will be
documented in the respective RAPs / LRPs.
Task 4: Source protection plan development
A. Groundwater source protection
The following steps will be followed during groundwater source protection
Step 1: Location/ Siting of the Water Source
Maintaining mínimum distances from production wells to avoid contamination, and stick to
minimum distance rules, respectively.
Step 2: Construction of Spring- and Well Protection
Springs can be protected by the installation of a spring tapping, a spring box and an adequate
drainage system
Drilled and dug wells need proper sealing.
 An apron guarantees that no contaminants enter the well from the access point area.
 An impermeable lining (for dug wells) or casing (for drilled wells) makes sure, that
no close-to- surface-water enters the well.
 Drainage keeps the area dry
Figure 5-21: Well Protection using an impermeable lining
Step 3: Fencing

In a fenced, inner protection zone (with a radius of 10 – 20 m), all activities posing a risk of
contamination are restricted (e.g. farming, grazing, firing, application of pesticides and
fertilisers, construction of latrines, use of chemicals, etc.). An extended protection zone (at
least 100m in radius) should be put up to increase protection.

Figure 5-22: Typical Well Protection using afforestation and fencing
Step 4: Set up Rules for all Community Members

Any protection plan rises and falls with the behaviour of the community members, their
attitude towards the plan and their knowledge. Besides the installation of constructional
measures, simple rules should be set up and communicated by a local caretaker. Such rules
can involve:
 Do not defecate close to the well,
 Do not let your animals graze close to the well,
 Do not through any garbage into the well, etc
Step 5: Management of Operation and Maintenance

Only adequate operation by the water users and frequent maintenance by a local caretaker can
ensure the safe long-term usability of the water point. Operation and maintenance activities
are best organised through a local management plan. The remit of a caretaker involves the:
 Inspection, cleaning and repair of spring installations and well (e.g. cracks
in the apron, leaking parts, etc.)
 Monitoring activities in the surrounding area
 Up keeping the protection zone/ repair of the fence
 Check for appropriate operation by users and provide health education.
 Check whether the basic rules are respected by the users

Step 6: Seal/Plug Abandoned and Unused Wells

Abandoned wells:
 Can allow surface run-off to directly enter an aquifer, contaminating the aquifer and
wells;
 Can be a physical safety threat, as they are often not marked or covered, and can pose
a hazard to people or animals that might fall into them.
Figure 5-23: Typical Well Protection using Seal/Plug

9. COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR Stanley
This is the commencement meeting for Lot 2. Watenga
Stanley made the following remarks:
Lot 2 comprises Yumbe District, and it has 6 water supply areas, its part of the
integrated water management and development project. It has other components
of urban water supply, water resources and a component of liaison across.
We shall concentrate on our subcomponent which is refugees and host
communities. There are 3 lots in other districts.
Today we have come a long way in reaching this milestone, the commencement

DESCRIPTION ACTION
of this project, we are all aware that these things are overdue, and there is so
much concern from stakeholders and our seniors about the delays. So, let’s be
cautious of that.
It is realised that the funding for the project is not adequate, mainly because the
budget was not accurately done. The market price is different from what we
anticipated. And also due to currency changes the project has lost some money,
making the resources insufficient.
Some of the work and services will be cut off in the future to optimise the
resources.
He congratulated the consultants for reaching this stage in procurement.

10. REMARKS FROM CONSULTANT Victor Male
Thank you from the ministry for giving us this opportunity to work with you.
We have taken note of the issues around time. In the interest of time, we had
gotten in touch with Kagga and Partners, and we had agreed that we would
coordinate so that the assignment isn’t burdensome to either of us.
We know that there are 6 areas, and some work has already started, we are
appreciative of the time lag before we receive technical data from the feasibility
study, and we shall manage this by working efficiently. We will also coordinate
with you.
Moses mentioned that his worry was the other 5 areas that had not been worked Moses Oluka
on since the ESIA and RAP need information from the feasibility study. Without
the information, we can’t do much.
11. CONSULTANCY SERVICE STARTING AGREEMENT

8.1 Confirm Availability of Staff
Interface Consulting agreed that they can confirm that the proposed staff are
available before they receive the commencement letter.
The ministry confirmed that they have a team ready to assist during the project
and will have the contacts available to the consultant.
8.2 Commencement Date

The consultant and the client agreed that the commencement date will be Monday
30th January 2023.
The Client will support consultants by providing all the materials they require.
They agreed to provide Introductory letters and all available data and reports
concerning the project
12. COORDINATION OF THE CONSULTANCY
For the inception report, Victor asked how the ministry wanted to go about it

DESCRIPTION ACTION
since only 1 out of the 6 areas has been designed.
The client responded that since the contract is based on deliverables, we shall
explore ways of optimising the lag. One of the ways is coordinating with the
design consultant.
13. GENERAL DISCUSSIONS AND WAY FORWARD
The Consultant, client and Design engineer will coordinate to make work easier.
Thank you for attending the meeting. It has come to an end.

detailed designs of the water systems respectively.
M/04 Communication from the Ass. CAO
1. Mr Rasul mention that one of the biggest challenges of Noted
Yumbe District is safe water as some of the areas are
water stressed coupled with a big population. He further
mentioned that one system is capable of supporting 5-6

villages hence water not being sufficient for the entire
community.

systems. He continued to request NWSC to step in to
support and manage the drilled boreholes as the previous
ones have failed due to a lack of proper O&M.
3. A high population has shifted to farming and production
however they face a scarcity of water to irrigate their Noted
crops
M/05 Concerns raised/Recommendations
1. There are claims by host communities that the OPM Noted
grabs land for the resettlement of the refugees.

Village residents: Noted
1. During dry seasons, most of the boreholes are dry. The
women have to walk long distances to fetch water. They
wake up at 3am and return at noon. The Queues at the

boreholes are very long and the water pressure is low.
This has paused a problem for breastfeeding mothers
since they leave their babies unattended during this
period.
2. The long queues at these boreholes are also a cause for
gender-based violence. The men beat their wives
implying that they are loitering during this time instead
of being home.
3. During the wet season, there are some season
unprotected wells that the locals use. They also collect
water from streams which is unsanitary. The animals
feed on this water, and people urinate in it and wash
from it. Because of this, waterborne diseases are very
common in the rainy seasons.
Water User Committee Noted
1. The water user committee collects a few 2000 Ugx from
each household that uses the boreholes. Unfortunately,
the committee is not able to collect these fees every
month, leaving it with little money that cannot make
small repairs.
2. The committee mentioned that the boreholes are
overused since there is only a few that function among
villages. Each borehole can serve up to 1500 people in
one day.
3. The committee sensitizes the villages about sanitation
and hygiene, although no one enforces these practices.
Because of water scarcity, it is hard to have hand
washing facilities in homes.
The LC III Chairman Noted
1. The majority of the households have sanitation facilities.
2. During the dry seasons, many people migrate from their
villages to look for areas with some water.
3. The sub-county is very water-stressed and during the dry
seasons, 3 villages share one borehole.
