govt. entity puts in an annual budget not received and the MEO does not set his own budget. institutional assessment has noted that in most of the municipal governments, a substantial fraction of authorized positions is not filled. A streets maintenance unit was identified in the assessment as something that is missing in many of the municipalities. is the highest risk area affecting USMID program performance. In the context of tight budgets, maintenance may suffer. Streets and drainage systems, parking areas, and new markets will deteriorate. to environmental and social assessment and implementation. ii) Disbursement indicators linked to annual performance assessments. USMID to include level of maintenance capacity and quality of maintenance in assessment criteria. The EA process documents the need for responsiveness and accountability explicitly in the EIA guidelines. Consultation is an integral part of the environmental legislation and EIA guidelines. Responsiveness and accountability are described through the publication of documents and system for the public to comment and request public hearings. EIA consultation is normally carried out by practitioners. No participation appears to for assessments by the municipalities, nor for any project following project approval. Municipalities have not had adequate participation in USMID planning. Laws require NEMA to publicise information at various stages of the EIA process and to make reports publically available. This is not carried out in practice. There is a risk of lack of accountability if project information is not available and accessible throughout the project planning and implementation process, not merely at the end. The lack of compliance with regulations by NEMA in failing to publicise and display information is a low risk to the USMID projects i) Municipal EA screenings, EIA’s and ESMP’s to be disclosed and displayed in an accessible format at municipal level. ii) Certification of projects, audits and inspections to be displayed as above. iii) Annual performance assessment results to be displayed as above. iv) DLIs to include level of consultation by municipalities during the EA process.

Both the Constitution of Uganda 1995 and the Land Act (1998) cite the right of Ugandans to own property only. None except for World Bank supported projects. There is a low-moderate risk that land acquisition will impact the livelihoods of communities and individuals by inappropriate or inadequate land acquisition methods. There is a low risk that useful natural resources will be unavailable through development which destroys, or otherwise renders resources inaccessible. Apply land acquisition framework and i) Ensure that land acquisition recognizes informal occupants and land users, and all types of land tenure. ii) Ensure that mitigation measures identified in ESMPs identify measures to ensure that land users have adequate natural resources locally to compensate for lost resources on project land, or that they are otherwise provided with alternative livelihood options. Provides compensation sufficient to purchase replacement assets of equivalent value and to meet any necessary transitional expenses, paid prior to taking of land or restricting access. Both the Constitution of Uganda 1995 and the Land Act (1998) emphasize the need for adequate and fair compensation. However there is no clarification on what is fair or adequate. Payment of compensation is not consistent except for Bank supported projects where emphasis on preparation of RAPs is made. Otherwise in isolated cases may receive market rates as opposed to replacement rates. Moderate risk of communities losing assets for which they perceive compensation to be inadequate. i) i) MoLHUD to liaise with Government Valuer to ensure that compensation rates are set at replacement values in order to provide for adequate and fair ii) Compensation plans to show evidence of consultation and consensus. Public display of compensation plans to include consultations records.
Considers conflict risks, including distributional equity and cultural sensitivities. None With no specific office to handle grievances in municipalities or nationally, MCs expected these to be handled through LC offices, or by tribal elders, with only 2 MCs reporting some involvement in grievances (Gulu handled through the physical planner and Fort Portal through their lawyer). Otherwise aggrieved persons have recourse to a court of law. Vulnerable groups are unable to access the legal system due to the financial burden. The Land Act creates Land Tribunals (district level), to help resolve disputes over registered land. The public can bring complaints before the tribunals in respect of allocations of land by the district Land Boards and extensions of leases. is no obvious risk of social conflict from the projects as envisaged. However cases of social conflict and grievances are likely to arise (for instance as an induced impact if concerns are not well handled, or negative impacts not avoided). At present these are addressed through the LC system and it is unlikely that the CDO’s, as the community link, would have the capacity or authority to address issues arising (note: In Hoima there are already social conflict situations arising from land tenure and exacerbated by the oil industry, Gulu also may have some experience due to the former LRA conflicts) A grievance redress mechanism that includes existing systems and structures for reporting, filing and resolving grievances must be put in place for USMID funding. Every project progress report will have a section on the grievances redress. Relevant staff (e.g. CDO’s, MEO’s or MSO’s) must be trained and assigned responsibility for ensuring that grievance mechanisms are implemented and recorded accurately, including liaising with LC’s where necessary on municipal projects.
