As stated in ToR, CAPC is responsible to carry out community mobilization activities in BDS, DNI and other
areas of the project. CAPC is putting its intense efforts to resolve several types of disputes in the BDS area
since its mobilization. Further, CAPC is involving on DNI Packages, Demo Project, Cluster Removal and others,
i.e. Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP).
The work progress has picked its pace in full speed now that was quite low in past few months due to severe
fuel crisis in nation. CAPC now is putting its high efforts on community awareness, participation and
mobilization in the project sites aligning with the construction activities. CAPC including of awareness and
participation is assisting PID to speed up the construction works in BDS and DNI areas. Community meetings
and consultations has helped the project to make coordination among different stakeholders as well as
community people. It is also helpful to assess the possible grievances and concerns in the field and sought
appropriate solutions on those matters. Moreover, some meetings have been conducted to address
safeguard issues in each project area.
Page 5 Bi-Annual Progress Report; January-June 2016
CAPC has adopted two different but complementary approaches for community awareness, participation,
o ilizatio a d people s edu atio p og a i the p oje t. These app oa hes ha e een applied since the
project began. Categorically, the first approach is community meetings and consultations that are generally
conducted at local level through TLOs and other formal and informal community institutions/ organizations.
The second approach is public education school program which are especially conducted in private and
public schools of project area through which project disseminates knowledge on project activities, its
approach, working modality and anticipated outcome to school children mainly. The progress update of
CAPC in two approaches are briefed in different sub headings herein under.
A. Community Meetings
CAPC believes that formal and informal community meetings and interactions program has helped the
community people to familiarize project activities, raise awareness and create harmonized situation in
community that would favorable for handling project related local issues. The community meetings,
consultations and visits are important tools to disseminate relevant message and information as well as to
make good relationship with people for the sake of project success. Most of the community meetings,
consultations and stakeholder's meetings have been good platforms to discuss, interact and make consensus
among 4Cs (the Client, Consultant, Contactor and Community) about the project matter.
Community Awareness and Participation Plan (CAPP) prepared for the project provides methodology and
processes for regular consultations with various stakeholders including the poor, vulnerable and women-
headed households during project implementation. The CAPP identifies key primary and secondary
stakeholders to ensure widespread, ongoing, and meaningful participation. The communities has been
involved in consultations for project planning, implementation and for safeguard issues through Tole
committees and ward citizen forums and other stakeholders identified in CAPP. Schools is being used as a
major medium of information dissemination and public education and regular activities will be organized in
the schools through the CAPC as stated in the Project Administration Manual (para 36; KVWSIP PAM ).
As a egula task, CAPC is updati g all e o ds of o u ity eeti gs a d stakeholde s eeti g systematically in separate database. In this regard, the details of community meetings and stakeholders
meetings since the project start up have been updating up to the end of June 2016. By the end of June 2016,

B. Public Education School Program
As described above about two approaches applied for community awareness and participation; the public
education school program is an important approach as CAPC envisages that the school level activities are
highly effective to address community awareness, mobilization, and health and hygiene education in the
community through schoolchildren.
CAPC has carried out different school awareness activities targeting to school students in different part of
Kathmandu Valley within project area. The major focus has been put at the area where construction
activities are ongoing. Particularly, the focus area of public education school programme in 2016 has been
for Narefant, Koteswor, Baneshwor, Chabel, Mahankal, Balaju, Kopundol, Jawalkhel, Sanepa, Dhobighat,
Dhalko, Gokarneshwor in DNI-7, DNI-8, DNI-9, DNI-2 and BDS sector
As per the Community Awareness and Participation Plan (CAPP) of the project; students of schools in project
coverage area are a very receptive target group of the project. To address this concept, this provision has
been applied to involve schools in a proper way in the public education campaigns. Such program has been
implementing through formation of special focus groups in schools or organizing mass activities. The
activities as envisaged by CAPC are discussions on public concerns such as new water supply system, water
conservation, wastewater management, water borne diseases, basic hygiene along with gender and social
inclusion issues. Art competition, drawings, essay, poem and folk dance competition are effective ways to
achieve the goal by involving children of schools with more participation of girl students.
Active and meaningful public participation and community support are highly anticipated for successful
implementation of the project. Information dissemination through school students and teachers are
effective to spread the project messages on door to door basis for making aware the beneficiaries. Aide
memoires of regular ADB review mission also have emphasized to public awareness program in school.
Therefore, this program has been continued to contribute in achieving the objective of the project.

2.1.6 Public Education, Sanitation, Health and Hygiene Program
The school level public education program has been focused basically on awareness as well as health,
hygiene and sanitation. It is in line with the PAM/KVWSIP that states; public awareness programs for
sanitation, health and hygiene education, and 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) including water conservation
measures in household and/or community level will be implemented by the CAPC. (para 47; KVWSIP PAM).
In the absence of Public Health Expert (PHE), other CAPC team members have carried out and supported
health related issues in public education and school sanitation program after then.
Regarding on the school level activities, CAPC has planned to conduct such activities in all packages of DNIs
and BDS as well. In the
process of collecting detail
records of all schools within
DNIs, it was primarily easy to
find out the numbers of
community and institutional
schools but in BDS area it was
highly needed to demarcate
the coverage area so that
potential schools can be
identified within the coverage
area. In this context, CAPC
team members discussed on
this matter and decided to
consider the area between 500m. left and 500m. right from the BDS pipe line. Community Mobiliser (CM) of
the concerned BDS sites has verified the numbers of schools from the profile provided by District Education
Office (DEO) Kathmandu and Lalitpur.
By a review of the profiles of District Education Offices (DEO) of two districts; it is found about 1850 schools
exist in both districts (Kathmandu and Lalitpur) and about 850 schools in the project coverage area along
three packages each in DNIs and BDS. In this bi-annual period, CAPC has designed a uniform format of school
programs to be conducted from June at different places of project coverage area in Kathmadu Valley. A
meeting of all CAPC experts and staffs has prepared a standard format for such school program having two
options with breakdown of detail contents to be delivered, programe schedule and list of materials to be
provided in schools. All have made consensus on this matter. Community mobilisers of CAPC now are
planning for next programs following this uniform format as decided in the meeting.
CAPC has a detail action plan of school program to be conducted in 2016. It was 50 schools that have
planned but after deployment of the new team leader in CAPC; the team of experts and field staffs reviewed
Page 31 Bi-Annual Progress Report; January-June 2016
the plan of school program and set total 65 schools to be carried out in 2016. With a new enthusiasm to
speed up the school program, the team revised its target and expressed commitment to mobilize
energetically to meet it. The revised target fixed in a consensus of CAPC team becomes as the following
table. The newly targeted table of planning for school shall supersede the existing one. CAPC is eagerly
managing the required arrangement to fulfill this revised target.

A Half Day Workshop on Safeguard
A half day social safeguard workshop was organized in the hall of PID/KUKL on 17th
June 2016. The aim of
organizing safeguard workshop was to build consensus about the implementation of safeguard among the
concerned stakeholders of the project such as contractors, DSC safeguard consultants, Construction and
Supervision Engineers, PID officials and CAPC staffs. The objective of the workshop was to disseminate the
roles of CAPC to all concerned stakeholders. All must have to know that CAPC has to inform local people
Page 36 Bi-Annual Progress Report; January-June 2016
about project activities as well as it has to inform PID and DSC
if there is complaint of locals and any mistake done by
contractor.
Team leader of CAPC has ade o e hou s p ese tatio o social safeguard in which half an hour was allocated for
principles and theories of social and environmental safeguards
and its philosophy as well as understanding of safeguard
specialist and technical specialist. The rest half an hour was
allocated for present practices of safeguard in the project,
identified main gaps in social safeguard implementation in the project and finally presented corrective
measures.
GRM Register and Individual Consent Letter
CAPC now realized the necessity of preparation of individual consent letter of the local shopkeepers during
construction. So, CAPC recently has prepared a register and given to TLO. The TLO members have to fill the
grievances in the register and if it is resolvable they resolve at local level, if not forward to CAPC. In the
register detail information of the complainer and grievance has to be updated. Hence, the register has
prepared by drawing columns as SN, date of complaint, name of complainer and subject of grievance. As a
result of GRM register system, the status of grievances can be analyzed by the records maintained at the
working sites.
As a procedure, it is used as practice that if CAPC can not settle the case then it is forwarded to PID/KUKL.
Sometimes, case also goes to ministry if it is not settled at local level. Moreover, CAPC staffs clarify locals
that GRM system of the project does not bar anyone to seek justice from formal forums.
The following illustration depicts the modality of grievance handling and resolving in the project. It is a four-
level mechanism that is active in every stage of grievance handling from the very beginning of receiving
grievances from community members on the various issues. It is a time-bound system in which each
respective authority has its own active mechanism within the entire system.

Page 41 Bi-Annual Progress Report; January-June 2016
monitoring mechanism in PID. The meeting aimed to establish a strong coordination mechanism between
Safeguard Unit (SU)/ PID and all consultants working in different components of the project that comprised
with construction, social development/ social safeguard, community mobilization, resettlement, GESI and
other concerned contemporary relevant social and technical issues. It is a forum to share progress and
achievement, problem and challenges as well as potential solutions among all officials, experts/ specialist

coordination and harmonization among all stakeholders under SU/PID/KVWSIP.
The team leader of CAPC has geared up his work after his appointment in this reporting period. As a result of
the coordination, a few remarkable activities were completed in this period. The activities were media

which CAPC, Valley Board and Melamchi, CDO Bhaktatpur officials were participated and sought the solution
of the remaining people who did not receive their compensation from the sites of Tigini and Katunje SRT.
CAPC after May 2016 has been putting its intense input in the KVWSIP- Additional Financing (AF) project.
Major efforts of CAPC in this regard are resolving the issues of land acquisition at Tigni and Katunje SRT sites.
In this context, another meeting was held in CAPC meeting hall on 21 June, 2016 to verify the ongoing
confusion of land located in Tigni and Katunje of Bhaktapur district. The land was previously acquired by
Melamchi Water Supply Development Board (MWSDB) from local land owners and later on it was handed
over to Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Management Board (KVWSMB) with the purpose of constructing
Service Reservoir Tank (SRT) to distribute Melamchi Water equally to the different locality of Kathmandu
Valley.
As per the contract agreement (Loan No: 3255), contractor Hanzhou Kalika JV was mobilized to construct
SRT in Tigni and Katunje but contractor was obstructed by locals land owners with the demand to verify their
exact land location and to acquire those lands which were not legally acquired by KVWSMB. Apart from this,
some land owners were found not receiving allocated compensation of their land.

6. Outcome of Efforts Made by CAPC
CAPC always made aware to community people on the project activities, its
approach, working modality, probable risk and anticipated results. Besides of it,
CAPC has put efforts on awareness raising to construction supervisors and working
labours on safety measures along with new set up of Help Desk and way of dealing
to community people. The concept of Help Desk at most of the construction site is
practicing these days by contractor. The Help Desk established as an outcome of
its efforts at sites is basically an information desk having essential safety measures
with first aid kits, clean drinking water, feedback and grievances register,
information bulletins and notices. It is an encouraging matter that contractors
nowadays are setting up more help desks in each site where project notices, IEC
materials, water jar and feedback register have been maintained.
The school level awareness programs along with health and hygiene education have helped to create
conducive environment to carry on the project activities efficiently in the communities. The school children
have perceived the project activities very positively and disseminating the message to their neighbors,
guardians and surroundings. The construction works are continued smoothly in June without any
disturbance due to positive environment created by CAPC, support of locals and good coordination among
PID, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders. Hope, the activities will proceed unhindered in the
days to come as well. As a result of the regular coordination meeting of the concerned stakeholders by CAPC
under the leadership of Social Safeguard Unit Chief, social mobilizers realized that working environment in
Page 44 Bi-Annual Progress Report; January-June 2016
the site is improving. It is being practiced that if people come with the problem in the working site, social
mobilzier coordinate with other concern staffs and settles the issue immediately.
If any utility damage during construction time, people come to Social Mobilizer with a complaint
immediately. Social mobilize coordinate with CSE and contractor and settle such problem locally. As a result
of regular coordination meeting in the CAPC, such problems are resolving easily in the working site these
days. Hence, CAPC realized the necessity of regular coordination meeting of concerned stakeholders.
The school level awareness programs along with health and hygiene education have helped to create
conducive environment to carry on the project activities efficiently in the communities. The school children
have perceived the project activities very positively and disseminating the message to their neighbors,
guardians and surroundings.
An element as menstrual hygiene that has been incorporated in the school programs since the beginning of
2016 is an innovative approach to address gender issue in some extent. It includes a brief awareness
discussion on menstrual safety between women CM of CAPC and girl students in the school program. After a
discussion, CAPC women CM used to gift safety kits to the woman school teacher in presence of girls. It is
highly appreciated by the teachers and girls as it has provided some awareness message and some sort of
support too.
The construction works are continued smoothly in the period without any disturbance due to positive
environment created by CAPC, support of locals and good coordination among PID, consultants, contractors
and other stakeholders. Hope, the activities will proceed unhindered in the days to come as well.
7. Risks and their Mitigation Measures
Success of the project depends on management of potential risks affecting in its different components
during project period. Generally risk management may be defined as the process of identification,
assessment and prioritization of the impacts of unprecedented events. The team of CAPC is aware on the
potential risk factors and their time based analysis. The analysis of risk is an integral process along with team
experiences and lesson learned from the different projects. The team has made further commitments and
envisaged specific efforts that would help CAPC under KVWSIP to convert potential threats into positive
outcomes as possible. The analysis by the team identified following situation and got mitigation measures as
the matrix below in Table 9.
Table 9: Risk Analysis and their Mitigation Measures
Risks categories Risk level Mitigation Responsibilities
Policy related risks:
Weak legal provisions and lacking on
their amendments for implementation
of the investment programs effectively
Medium -

Contemporary amendments in
existing rules and regulation of
KUKL, MoWSS so that investment
policies will be effective in future.

beneficial; modern training
schemes related to different
components of KVWSIP can play
vital in this regard.

8. Potential Issues and Constraints
Based on the review of different project documents, progress reviews and consultation with CAPC field staffs
following potential issues and constraints have been envisaged:
Due to absence of elected body, the team has been experiencing problems while minimizing the
social issues in the community,
The eha io of o t a to s staffs i BDS a d DNI a eas is ot pleasi g a d satisfyi g hi h sometimes creates barrier at the field. Likewise, the field staffs of some contractors found to be
unaware about safety measures during construction works,
Less cooperative behaviors of people in some subproject areas is obstructing the project activities,
Due to its own calendar with vacation and examination of many schools in valley; it is hard to align
the school program effectively with their time slot.
9. Approaches to Address the Potential Issues/Constraints:
