1. INTRODUCTION

1. The Maritime and Waterways Safety Project is jointly funded by the Government of Papua New
   Guinea (GoPNG) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through Loan 2978-PNG. The Loan
   Agreement was signed on the 29th of January 2013. The Executing Agency is the National
   Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA).

2. The Maritime and Waterways Safety Project (MWSP) aims at improving safety and efficiency of
   international and national shipping in coastal areas and waterways in Papua New Guinea (PNG)
   by replacing, installing and maintaining navigational aids (navaids), improving maritime safety
   information infrastructure, improving maritime safety practice of communities, and providing
   efficient project management and capacity development.

3. The MWSP originally involved the maintenance of 99 existing navigational aids and installation of
   33 new ones across the 14 provinces in PNG. However, as a result of customary land issues at a
   number of sites the total number of navaids from the last reporting period remained unchanged
   (104) that is: 36 replacements and 68 new leased sites. Total number of sites for package one
   and package two after the installations are as follows:

            a. Package 1;
        -   45 installed
        -   3 abandoned
            b. Package 2;
        -   9 installed
        -   11 abandoned

4. The project is expected to have limited and or minor land acquisition of mostly of sea-bed, reefs,
   or foreshore.

5. According to ADB reporting requirement as stipulated in its Safeguards Policy Statements 2009
   (SPS 2009), the MWSP Project Management Unit through its community development team will
   submit a social safeguard monitoring report on semi-annual basis on safeguard matters, although
   there is no displacement of people or assets for this project.

6. This social safeguard monitoring report covers project activities from January to June 2021. There
   were few field visits to the navaid sites and the affected communities for package 2 during this
   period. These trips were undertaken by the Project team and officers from the Department of
   Lands and other government departments to complete all outstanding tasks as tabulated under
   heading 5 – “Activities Updates from January to June 2021 - paragraph 33”.

7.    Due to Covid 19 Pandemic, recommendations of preventive measures were put up by health
     organization and the state for safety of all populations. By doing so, all departments and
     companies have responded in different ways like implementing restrictions to certain facilities and
     services thus resulting in global social and economic disruption in the country and worldwide. This
     limits data and information collections for this reporting period.

8. The following paragraphs describe in brief the project background, social safeguard requirements,
   resettlement processes, land acquisition processes and the community engagement programs,
   which involves two field visits to each community per navaid site as a minimum and one courtesy
   visit to the respective provincial government administrations, where the navaids will be installed.

9. A short overview is given on implementation of project activities during the reporting period. A
   table is attached in Appendix A, which summarises the main outcomes and outputs per
   community, lists all signed agreements in regards to land acquisition and other social safeguard
   requirements, any land disputes in the communities, planned mediation processes and further
   steps on how to overcome these problems.

                                                   5
10. A monitoring of the consultation process has started whereas resettlement and social
    assessments in communities have been initiated as a prerequisite for installation of planned
    navaids. Any socio-economic impact of people’s life in regard to project activities is now being
    monitored for package 1 and 2 sites after the first installation of the navaid and first installment of
    land lease payments to customary landowners and Community Lighthouse Committees (CLC).

                                                    6
1. PROJECT OVERVIEW

11. The Project has four main outputs:

  I.    Originally the project requires the installation of 33 new navaids, replacement of 99 existing
        navaids, and maintenance of installed and replaced navaids as located in the various Maritime
        Provinces. The number of new navaids to be installed and navaids to be replaced has
        remained unchanged of 76 and 28 respectively as per December 2020 report.

  II.   Improvement of safety information, infrastructure, comprising hydrographic surveys,
        installation of five (5) new AIS transponders and the replacement of five (5) others, and
        installation of four (4) tide gauges.

 III.   Improvement of maritime safety practice of communities, comprising of community
        engagement programs for maritime safety awareness activities and small craft safety training
        activities.

IV.     Provision of efficient project management and capacity development, comprising of
        establishment of a Project Implementing Unit (PIU), support to manage and implement the
        project, and engagement and training of staff in operating the safety and hydrographic
        information infrastructure of NMSA.

12. The impact will be safer and enhanced access to socioeconomic opportunities for communities in
    PNG and regional and international stakeholders. The project is expected to produce benefits for
    rural and remote populations as well as the national and international population.

13. The Project has been classified B under ADB SPS (2009) for environment and social category.
    Framework documents have been prepared to describe the safeguard requirements for the
    project. NMSA as executing agency has overall responsibility to comply with safeguard
    requirements.

14. The PIU of the project employed two Community and Land Coordinators (national, whole project
    duration) and a Gender, Community and Lands Specialist (international - intermittent) as part of
    the community development team.

2. METHODOLOGY

15. Social safeguards and resettlement in this project include inter alia a community engagement
    programme (CEP) and land acquisition of customary land both on and under sea. Involuntary
    resettlement and displacement of people will not be required as most navaids will be installed in
    the seabed or on locations on land, which mark a cliff or a rock. In most cases, no vegetation or
    asset is removed.

16. The resettlement process involves land acquisition of customary land on a lease basis for 20 years.
    Most sites are under water and will be leased from the local traditional landowners. The proposed
    size of land under water is 20m x 20m and on land 10m x 10m. The lease is signed between
    NMSA and respective landowners. The Land Investigation Report (LIR) is initiated by officers
    from Department of Lands and Physical Planning (DLPP) and provincial land officers. Land
    acquisition processes follow legal procedures of PNG government as disclosed in the Land Act
    1996 (currently under review).

                                                  7
3. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM (CEP)

17. The CEP comprises of several phases of stakeholder consultations, which have to be followed
    before any installation of the navaid can proceed.

18. The first phase includes courtesy visits to the provincial administrations. The main aim of these
    visits is to introduce the project to the Provincial Administrator (PA), Governor and respective
    officers from Lands, Law and Justice, Planning and Local Level Government. The project team
    expects to get information from the lands officers about the communities located nearest to the
    planned site to identify the right landowners.

19. After receiving information from the lands officers and provincial administrations, the team
    conducts first visits to communities. The main purpose of these visits is to conduct awareness
    about the installation of the navaid/beacon and the project. The first consultation with communities
    is done by the community, environment and engineering project teams. Officers from provincial
    and national lands divisions/department, a surveyor and a valuer also join the team.

20. Whilst the community team conducts the awareness about the project, the engineering team
    assesses the sites with local permission and attendance. It is crucial that people in villages accept
    the installation of the navaid and that elder, councilors and landowners gives their permission to
    the project team to inspect the sites. By accepting and understanding the purpose of the project,
    community representatives sign a Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) form, which is a
    precondition of continuing project activities. The form is pre - signed by NMSA CEO; one original
    is within the community and the other original remains in the project office.

21. A checklist retrieved from the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) is filled
    during each community visit and a due diligence report prepared for each site.

22. During community meetings, the MWSP CD team also discloses grievance redress mechanisms
    and explains further steps of the community programme. All awareness material about the project
    is prepared by the CD team and distributed in community meetings, which are recorded and filed
    in the office. Main emphasis is laid on gender balance, when it comes to decision making for the
    navaid installation, land issues and representation in public discussions.

23. The second phase of community consultations is focused around land acquisition and community
    representation by forming a Community Lighthouse Committee (CLC). The Community
    Lighthouse Committee is established to monitor the lighthouse and to ensure that no vandalism
    acts occur to the lighthouse. The investigation of the legitimate Land Owners is also being
    implemented during second phase of community consultation. The Land Acquisition process
    follows after LOs identification in sequence.

24. The CLC is responsible for the security of the lighthouse and to report any outage or damage of
    lights. It is bounded by the Community Security and Lighthouse Monitoring Agreement (CSLMA).
    The term of this agreement is for twenty (20) years.

25. Fees are paid once the lighthouses are installed and are tested to be functioning. Whilst the LIR
    is conducted by officers from DLPP and provincial/district lands offices with assistance from the
    NMSA CD team, the whole process around forming of CLC is solely the responsibility of the
    National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA) CD Team. Village Councillors and Ward Recorders
    assist the team in retrieving information through community profiles and collecting socio -
    economic baseline data through survey questionnaires.

26. Awareness about safe practice at sea for small craft operators and community members are part
    of the awareness programme during the second visits. These trips last approximately two to three
    days per community. Distribution of HIV/AIDS material and a short introduction on transmission,
    background and social impact is done by Community and Lands Coordinators, who have been
    trained and certified during the inception phase of the Project.

                                                   8
4. GENDER

     The project has a Gender Action Plan, which was modified in a workshop with relevant
     stakeholders in 2015. It lays strong emphasis on developing equal gender participation in decision
     making processes and consultations on the community, administrative and management level
     whenever possible. Cultural constraints and differences especially in decision making processes
     about landownership in matrilineal and patrilineal societies were discussed and appropriate
     amendments done. The GAP identifies and addresses gender issues in project activities and
     formulates indicators for outputs and impacts. Regular monitoring is provided and updates on the
     GAP are submitted in the Quarterly Reports. The CD team implements gender awareness in
     community consultations and visits to the provincial administrations. Women are encouraged to
     express their opinions about the proposed navaid installations and are active members of the
     community lighthouse committee (CLC) and signatories to the committee account.

     The CLC agreement, which is signed by NMSA and the CLC executive members includes a clause
     that 20% of funds spent for communal activities must benefit women and girls. At the end of each
     year, the CLCs have to prepare reports, which then will be monitored by NMSA. So far, civil works
     for navaids package 1 and package 2 has been completed. For package 2, out of the 20 proposed
     sites only 9 sub-projects were installed. From the 9 installed sites only six sites have established
     the CLC while other 3 are considered as replacement with no availability of lease and CLC records.
     As for package 1, the initial proposed sites were 48 of which only 45 sites were installed and 3
     sites abandoned. From the 45 installed sites we have established 31 CLC for new sites excluding
     18 replacements. Construction for package 3 is still pending since the contract was awarded and
     signed by Nawae Construction Ltd in February 2020.

27. According to the GAP, a gender policy should be established for NMSA. Consultations took place
    with external stakeholders and selected NMSA staff before meetings were held within NMSA to
    solicit views and opinions on a gender policy for NMSA. After the consultation meetings, a
    workshop was conducted to initiate the first stages of preparing the policy. It was during this time
    that the name of this policy was agreed upon, namely, National Maritime Safety Authority Gender
    Equity and Social Inclusive (NMSA GESI) Policy.

5. ACTIVITIES UPDATES FROM JANUARY TO JUNE 2021

28. Again, due to Covid 19 Pandemic, recommendations of preventive measures were put up by
    health organization and the state for safety of all populations. By doing so, all departments and
    companies have responded in different ways like implementing restrictions to certain facilities and
    services thus resulting in global social and economic disruption in the country and worldwide. This
    limits data and information collections for this reporting period.

29. The project has three proposed navaid packages distributed over 12 Maritime Provinces in Papua
    New Guinea. After the list was updated 104 installations are planned in total. Package 1 includes
    48 navaids, 44 in Milne Bay Province and 4 in Central Province. Package 2 is geographically
                                                 9
scattered over the New Guinea Islands Region with total of 20 navaids listed including
                Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB), New Ireland (NIP) and Manus (MP); East New Britain
                (ENB) and West New Britain (WNB) Provinces. Package 3 comprises of main coastline of Papua
                New Guinea that includes six provinces. The six provinces are as follows; Morobe, Madang, East
                Sepik, West Sepik, Manus, Oro and Milne Bay; the total number of navaids sites in package 3 is
                36.

         30. As agreed and understood that all payments for landownerships and community engagement
             program components are to be paid after installation for sub-projects based on the condition of
             the lights if they are working.

         31. As such first and second payments were executed successfully for both components – lease
             payments for land owners and CLC for package 1 and as same for installed sites in package 2 as
             illustrated on the table below.

         32. The safeguard monitoring report covers project activities from January to June 2021. There were
            few field visits to the navaid sites and the affected communities for package 1, 2 and 3 during this
            period. These trips were undertaken by the Project team and officers from the Department of
            Lands and other government departments to complete all outstanding tasks as listed in the table

33. The list of confirmed sites has been changed due to various reasons. The issues in communities,
    which could not be solved by mediation or during consultations therefore led to cancellation of
    these sites (see in detail Appendix A). Most navaids are new as they require new structures to be
    installed thus the increase from 33 to 76 new navaids, while the number of navaids to be replaced
    has reduced to 28 navaids as these are existing structures.

34. Land and resettlement activities in the reporting period focused on Payments Execution for CLC
    and Lease and the NMSA Lease Agreement Signing with respective Landowners of navaid sites
    in package one (1) first payments, package two (2) second payments and the State. All NMSA
    Lease Agreement with landowners are pending for signing for both contracts package 1 & 2. The
    PIU team are in preparation to revisit all sites for both contract and get the respective landowners
    to sign the NMSA Lease Agreement.

  7. GRIEVANCE REDRESS

  40. In the last two years the project team had been executing payments for both components – CLC
      & Lease in cash. The exercise of cash payment is very dangerous and risky for the officers
                                                      12
involved. To addressed this issue, project had written to the BSP Head Quarters in Port Moresby
    liaising with responsible corporate managers in assisting opening of bank accounts for all installed
    sites under both packages; 1 & 2.

41. Attempts being made by officer in charge visiting BSP branch – provincial level in trying to assist
    the Landowners and the Community Lighthouse Committees for certain sites in Kavieng and
    Kokopo for the same (opening of bank accounts); response received was very poor as today BSP
    Banks requests for necessary documents from individuals or groups to open bank accounts.

42. The Payments were executed for most sites without disputes being raised and most communities
    were very appreciative that a government agency can bring this service to them without them
    having to work for it. With that appreciation, the communities together with the owners were urged
    to continue looking after the lights because they are put there for purposes of security and safety
    for traversing vessels, dinghy and people who go out fishing and diving. Disputing sites of lease
    components were advised to seek mediation and find legitimate landowners to receive the lease
    payment.

8. CONCLUSION

43. Social safeguard monitoring and reporting follows the same described pattern of activities. The
    most unpredictable component in the community engagement programme is the land acquisition
    as landownership is a main cultural identity; families and clans in communities have different
    opinion and interests, which should be treated sensitively.

44. Part of the land acquisition process which the project is directly involves with have been completed
    which includes the initial visits for the LIR and site assessments for the surveyors and valuer. All
    LIRs have completed by the respective PLOs/ CLOs. Now the rest of the process is within DLPP
    and other line government agencies before the lease instruments can be issued.

9. RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES

45. The PMU CALCs will continuously follow-up with respective officers within DLPP with the LIRs
    and valuation reports. The CALCs will ensure that all documents required by the officers are
    delivered to them.

46. For the abundant sites, the PMU CALCs will make continuous connection with the locals advising
    on Contractor’s plan. If the sites were to be moved for contractor’s accessibility for installation,
    the CLACs will advise the affected communities on the next step to be taken if necessary.

47. Engagement with the communities are important for the protection of the lights all arrangements
    must be uniform to the existing sites and as such;

      1. Payment regime must be improved so that the amounts paid are K2640.00 to CLC and an
         additional K1,000.00 for well-kept and sites not vandalised after the first year and K2,640.00
         for Lease payments as per the Lease Agreement (NMSA)

      2. Execute the NMSA Lease Agreement together with the documents executed by the DLPP
         because of the binding effect to sustain annual payments to owners, and

      3. Bank accounts for both the CLC and owners needs to be established due to the risk involved
         when a lot of money is being carried by the team into the communities.
