This component will focus on capacity building in two areas: (a) strengthening of capacity within PO-RALG and the Regional Secretariats to administer, monitor and support the local govemment system, and (b) capacity to implement the LGSP itself I A 4 Project Location (Geographic location, information about the key environmental and social characteristics of the area and population likely to be affected, and proximity to any protected areas, or sites or critical natural habitats, or any other culturally or socially sensitive areas ) Component I Only those local authorities within the target group that meet certain conditions will receive funding for investment in sub-projects. The target local authorities of local authorities will be determined during project preparation, but qualifying local authorities will only be determined by an annual assessment process after project effectiveness. The particular sub-projects the qualitying  2 ISDS local authorities will invest in will be identified through a demand-driven planning process at the local level It is therefore not possible to indicate, at this stage or before project effectiveness, which local authorities will receive funding or the nature and location of the sub-projects in which they will invest Component 2: This component will support upgrading investments in low-income, unplanned communities in Dar es Salaam which will be identified at the early stages of the project preparation process For Phase I of Component 2 the specific nature of the investments in the beneficiary communities will be determined through a participatory planning process involving the Councils, the affected communities and other stakeholders during the project preparation process These will thus be known by project effectiveness For Phase 2, the specific investments will only be determined after project effectiveness B. Check Environmental Classification: B (Partial Assessment) Comments A category B rating is proposed for this project, subject to ASPEN review This results from an indicative Fl rating for Component I and a B rating for Component 2. Investments carried out under Component 2 will have some environmental impact mitigated by adequate EMPs Overall, the project is expected to have a beneficial rather than detrimental social and environmental impact In fact, given the limited amounts available to local authorities under Component 1, sub-projects financed under this component are not expected to have significant environmental impacts In the case of Component 2, construction activities may require environmental mitigation measures (see section D for further details) C Safeguard Policies Triggered (from PDS) (click on 1x1 for a detailed desciption or click on the policy number for a brief description) Policy Applicability Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01, BP 4 01, GP 4.01) 0 Yes C_ No 0 TBD Natural Habitats (OP 4.04, BP 4.04, GP 4.04) C Yes * No O TBD Forestry (OP 4.36, GP 4.36) Yes 0 No 0 TBD Pest Management (OP 4.09) _ Yes 0 No 0 TBD Cultural Property (OPN 11.03) .

Summary of Key Safeguard Issues Pleasefill in all relevant questions. If information is not available, describe steps to be taken to obtain necessary data 11 D.la Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the proposed project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts Infrastructure investments carried out under the project are likely to have some environmental impacts  ISDS Under Component I, local authorities will access modest amounts of capital funding for expenditure on the development of local infrastructure and services in priority sectors such as education, health, water, local roads, and on basic urban services, such as refuse removal. Component 2 will focus mainly on the upgrading of infrastructure and services in low income unplanned areas of the city Funds may be used to finance investments in the provision of services including water supply, sanitation, drainage improvements, access roads, solid waste management and other basic services In general it is anticipated that the improvements to basic services to be supported by the project are expected to have beneficial rather than detrimental impacts on the environment However, for both Components the diverse nature of the investments means that the environmental impacts may vary Given the limited amounts available to local authorities under Component 1, these sub-projects are not expected to have significant environmental impacts In the case of Component 2, construction activities may require environmental mitigation measures In addition, there will be transport of substantial volumes of materials to and from the construction sites These adverse impacts will be temporary in nature and largely ILmited to the length of the construction period Longer term impacts will be dependent on the nature of the specific investments chosen and cannot be determined at this time Insofar as resettlement is concemed, it is important again to note that - for both Component I and Component 2 - the sub-project selection process will be demand-driven and will include a participatory process involving affected stakeholders, particularly local authonties and communities. Infrastructure investments may result in some minimal relocation or resettlement. This will be carried out through a process of community consultation and negotiation that will also involve project affected families. Mitigation measures will be determined by means of a resettlement framework and, if iiecessary, resettlement plans will be completed for the investments after these have been identified. II D l b. Describe any potential cumulative impacts due to application of more than one safeguard policy or due to multiple project component. None 11 D Ic Describe any potential long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area TBD IID 2. In light of I, describe the proposed treatment of altematives (if required) TBD 1I D 3 Describe arrangement for the borrower to address safeguard issues Both an Environmental Framework and a Resettlement Framework will be developed for Components I (in its entirety) and Phase 2 of Component 2 during the process of project preparation In addition, for Phase I of Component 2, where specific investments will be determined during the process of project preparation, an Environmental Impact Assessment will be conducted, and Community Environmental Management Plans will be prepared for each specific community. A Resetlement Plan will also be developed for Phase I of Component 2  4 ISDS All these documents will be finalised and disclosed prior to project appraisal. Under Component 3, training on environmental screening and mitigation planning and management will be included in the capacity building programmes financed under the project. Il.D 4. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanisms for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. The primary stakeholders are the local authorities targeted by the project, residents within these local authority areas, and those communities, in particular, that will directly benefit from investments in infrastructure and services mad ethorught he project. Secondary stakeholders include line Ministries, Regional Administration offices, private sector agencies and civil society Selection of the sub-projects will be participatory and demand-driven For Component 1, Local Authority Development Plans prepared through a participatory process will define priorities for investment Compliance with environmental policies and implementation of the Environmental and Resettlement Frameworks will be a requirement for accessing the grant funds This will include local public disclosure of the environmental and resettlement frameworks and, on an annual basis, any environmental and resettlement plans emanating from the implementation of these frameworks. Affected communities will also be made aware of EMPs and RAPs through the annual assessment process which local authorities will undergo in order to access CGP funding, the results of which will be made publicly available at local and national levels For Component 2, community participation will be part of the project design and communities will be involved in decision-making through developing Community Upgrading Plans The modalities of the participatory approach will be defined in a report to be prepared by a consultant during project preparation NGOs, CBOs and civil society organisations will also participate in the consultations over investment identification and in facilitiating the preparation and implementation of the sub-projects. The development of the EIA and Resettlement Plans will form an integral part of the CUP process, and affected communities and individuals will be directly involved in the formulation of these Given the importance of the community participation and consultation process, its specific modalities will be the subject of a study to be conducted by a specialist consultant during project preparation and are not yet known However, these modalities will be developed on the basis not only that the full details of the EIA and RAPs will need to be made widely and easily available - particularly to those directly affected by them - but that affected groups/people should be involved in their development from an early stage E. Safeguards Classification (select in SAP) Category is determined by the highest impact in any policy Or on basis of cumulative impacts from multiple safeguards Whenever an individual safeguard policy is triggered the provisions of that policy apply. SI - Significant, cumulative and/or irreversible impacts, or significant technical and institutional risks in management of one or more safeguard areas [X] S2 - One or more safeguard policies are triggered, but effects are limited in their impact and are technically and institutionally manageable [ S3 - No safeguard issues SF - Financial intermediary projects, social development funds, community driven development or similar projects which require a safeguard framework or programmatic approach to address safeguard issues  5 ISDS F.
