Valuation and compensation of affected assets of community should be in line with RPF/Sub-projects RAPs and considered before the field activities. Community consultations will be carried out before establishing the sites. Air Quality deterioration due to dust emissions Low Toilet construction site in schools Construction machinery, generators, and vehicles will be kept in good working condition, minimizing exhaust emissions. Truck/tractor loads should be covered with suitable material. Soil and temporary spoil piles should be covered or sprayed with water to avoid generating dust. Latrine Construction sites including Soil piles in schools should be barricaded to avoid material escape, generation of dust and access to children. During Construction of toilets Contractor under supervision of Directorates ESFP Water Consumption and Conservation Low At demonstration plots under A4N Use of compost, or decomposed organic matter as fertilizer, has been found to improve soil structure, increasing its water-holding capacity.

Effluents from the construction sites will not be released to drinking water sources, cultivation fields, irrigation channels, and critical habitats. Appropriate effluent treatment arrangements such as settling tanks will be made at the site. Use of Bio-pesticides will be encouraged Use of Organic fertilizer will be encouraged IPM as part of A4N sub-component will be implemented Growing crops in a systematic arrangement of strips or bands across the general slope (not on the contour) to reduce water erosion.
