PROJECT DESCRIPTION Changes to Components and Cost Component A: Support to KeNHA to Upgrade the Urban Road Transport Infrastructure Due to the inflation and making a provision for the BRT infrastructure in design which was not in the original project at appraisal, delays, and an increase in the scope of works arising from unexpected growth in traffic leading to expansion rather than rehabilitation, the total costs of construction works for road section of JKIA turn off to Rironi road (Lots 1, 2, and 3) and Kisumu Bypass are currently estimated at about US$630 million and US$40 million, respectively. The revised activities under this component will cover the following: (a) Expanding and upgrading the Northern Corridor road section through Nairobi from James Gichuru road junction to Rironi and the associated service and access roads; (b) Constructing the Kisumu Northern Bypass, including the expansion of the adjoining Kisumu airport-Kisian road section; (c) Carrying out feasibility and detailed engineering design studies of selected roads adjoining major towns and studies for improvement of traffic flows, scaling down the number of studies; (d) Strengthening the capacity of KeNHA by: (i) supplying and installing a management information system; (ii) developing an environmental and social management system for the road sub-sector; and (iii) improving its capacity for contract management, monitoring and evaluation through training and provision of technical advisory services required for that purpose; and (e) Carrying out feasibility and detailed engineering design studies, preparation of bidding documents and related studies for the selected Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Nairobi. The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) The activities that have been dropped include (a) civil works for the road section of JKIA turn off to Southern Bypass; Southern Bypass to James Gichuru road junction (Lots 1 and 2), (b) consultancy services for the construction supervision of the highway capacity enhancement under the road section of JKIA turn off to James Gichuru road junction (Lots 1 and 2), and (c) promotion of private sector participation in the road subsector. A program to address HIV/AIDS in all the roads contracts is no longer an independent activity as this has been mainstreamed to civil works contracts. The PPP aspects are now covered under the ongoing Kenya Infrastructure Finance/PPP Project (P121019). The rest remains unchanged. Component B. Support to KURA and KRC to Prepare the Development of Selected Mass Transit Corridors The revised component will cover the following: Subcomponent B1 (KURA). (a) The revised activities are (a) carrying out activities to improve traffic management including construction of traffic control centers, provision of traffic management ICT solutions, design, installation and monitoring of an intelligent transport system (ITS) for Nairobi; (b) a study for the improvement of traffic flow covering Nairobi; and (c) construction of Meru Bypass roads. (b) Activities that have been dropped, according to justification, are (a) feasibility and design studies for the BRT along line 3 (Juja Road), (b) study and development of a master plan for urban transport for Mombasa, (c) providing public transport and associated services, (d) developing and implementing a scheme to decongest major urban areas, and (e) implementing regulatory reforms to rationalize the provision of public transport services and strengthen the management of public transport operations. A program to address HIV/AIDS in all the roads contracts is no longer an independent activity as this has been mainstreamed the roads contracts. (c) The feasibility and design studies for the BRT Line 3 and the master plan for Mombasa have been funded and successfully completed by the EU and JICA, respectively. The feasibility and design studies of selected missing road links in Nairobi and other towns are financed by counterpart funding and IDA funds originally allocated to these activities will be reallocated to Meru Bypass and ITS for Nairobi. Subcomponent B2 (KRC). (a) The feasibility, detailed design and studies for the selected commuter and light rail routes in Nairobi and other major towns will be replaced with development of master plans and the investment plans for sustainable commuter rail systems for Nairobi and Mombasa. (b) The revised activities are (a) preparation of the necessary bidding documents for construction of selected commuter rail systems in Nairobi and other major town, and (b) procurement of track recording car (goods). (c) The activities dropped include preparation of bidding and contract documents for the selection of the private sector operators providing commuter rail operations and associated service. Component C. Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building Subcomponent C1 (State Department of Transport, former Ministry of Transport) and Subcomponent C2 (State Department of Infrastructure, former Ministry of Roads) remain unchanged. The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) Other Change(s) (a) Environmental Assessment Category. As discussed elsewhere, delayed commencement of works as well as incorporating MRTS in the road-related civil works led to further encroachment on the right-of-way and the updated RAPs identified the higher number of involuntary land acquisition and the associated physical and economic displacement of PAPs. As a result, environmental assessment category of the project is changed from B to A. (b) Change in institutional arrangements. The implementation arrangements would largely remain the same. NaMATA takes over the role of the Mass Rapid Transit Consultative Committee to coordinate activities related to MRTS but is not an implementing agency. NaMATA is mandated to oversee, coordinate, and plan the provision of public transport system, including Mass Rapid Transit, and related infrastructure in the NMA, among other responsibilities which are being operationalized. (c) Change in implementation schedule. The updated implementation schedule for major activities is summarized in table 3. Table 3. Updated Implementation Schedule of Major Activities Component A Updated Completion Schedule Capacity enhancement of A104 section James Gichuru road April 2021 junction-Rironi road section (Lot 3) Construction of Kisumu Bypass June 2021 Component B Construction of Meru Bypass December 2018 Implementation of Traffic Management System December 2021 Commuter Rail Master Plan for Nairobi October 2018 Detailed design of Mombasa commuter rail (selected line) June 2020 Supply of a track recoding car for Kenya Railways Corporation July 2019 . 4. PROJECT LOCATION AND SALIENT PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS RELEVANT TO THE SAFEGUARD ANALYSIS (IF KNOWN) The project area remains the same, spread across Nairobi, Meru and Kisumu Counties, as that of the original project. Hence, there are no changes in the salient physical characteristics. Key change relates to the activity spread in respect of Nairobi’s key road- JKIA airport turnoff to Rironi, of about 42 Km. For operational purposes, this road was conceptualized in three major parts: (i) JKIA airport to Southern Bypass (Lot1); (ii) Southern Bypass to James Gichuru Junction (Lot-2); and (iii) James Gichuru Junction to Rironi, Lot-3. In the restructured project, the Bank will only finance works for Lot 3, which is about 26 km and is currently under construction. For the purpose of sequencing construction with resettlement, Lot- 3 is being implemented in three phases- A, B and C. Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) for all the three sub sections have been prepared, approved and disclosed. As of now, construction of 3C, about 9 Km, is under progress. Restructuring, relates to: (i) modification of the PDO- to better reflect the new scope of the project; (ii) Expanding and upgrading the Northern Corridor through Nairobi from James Gichuru junction to Rironi and the associated service The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) roads and access roads;(iii)construction of the proposed Kisumu Northern Bypass, including the expansion of the adjoining Kisumu airport to Kisian road section; (iv) feasibility and detailed engineering studies of selected roads adjoining major towns;(v) feasibility and detailed engineering design studies, preparation of bidding documents and related studies for the selected BRT in Nairobi; (vi) improve traffic management including construction of traffic control centers, provisions of traffic management ICT solutions, design, installation and monitoring of an intelligent transport system for Nairobi; (vii) ongoing construction of the Meru Bypasses; and (viii) feasibility and detailed engineering design studies of missing road links in major towns financed by GoK . The following activities have been dropped from the original project: (i) civil works for the road section of JKIA turn off -Southern Bypass; Southern Bypass-James Gichuru junction; (ii) feasibility and design studies for the BRT along Line 3 (Juja road); (iii) study and development of a master plan for the urban transport for Mombasa; and (iv) feasibility and detailed designs for the selected commuter and light rail routes in Nairobi and other major towns. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS SPECIALISTS ON THE TEAM Lilian Wambui Kahindo, Social Specialist Ben Okindo Ayako Miranga, Environmental Specialist SAFEGUARD_TABLE 6. SAFEGUARD POLICIES TRIGGERED Safeguard Policies Triggered Explanation Theoriginal project was assigned Environmental Category B. However, during implementation of the James Gichuru junction-Rironi road section and the Meru Bypasses, it has emerged that the magnitude and impact of several issues is greater relative as envisaged during preparation. This is expected to result in significant, large scale and irreversible adverse environmental and social impacts such as traffic disruptions and access restrictions; noise and air pollution; construction camp impacts; occupational, health and safety impacts on the Environmental Assessment (OP) (BP 4.01) Yes workers, pedestrian and commuters during construction; and physical and /or economic displacement. Thus, cumulative environmental and social impacts resulting from the project activities are likely to be substantial. Hence, the project’s categorization is changed from B (assigned during the preparation of the original project) to A. The restructured project shall finance the following: Component A: The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) (a) James Gichuru Junction-Rironi road section, that entails expanding and upgrading the 26 km road section and associated service and access roads, the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the expansion and improvement of the Northern Corridor road section through Nairobi starting from JKIA turn off - Westlands -Rironi was prepared, approved and disclosed in country and InfoShop on May 9, 2012. (b ) Construction of the Kisumu Northern Bypass, the original subproject design involved construction of 9 km bypass , but the restructured project will encompass expanding the adjoining Kisumu airport to Kisian junction (7 km) road section, to accommodate potential increase in traffic.

Performance Standards for Private Sector No Activities OP/BP 4.03 This policy is not triggered as none of the proposed works have potential to cause significant Natural Habitats (OP) (BP 4.04) No conversion or degradation of natural habitats, whether directly or indirectly. The policy is not triggered because construction of the Meru Bypass will not impact the the Imenti forest, the forest is fenced off, and there is a buffer that will ensure that elephants will not be impacted Forests (OP) (BP 4.36) No by noise or air pollution. Kenya Forest Service as the lead agency for managing Imenti forest were involved public consultation process. There are no other natural forests that are expected to be impacted by other subprojects. The policy is not triggered as the project will not Pest Management (OP 4.09) No finance any activities that will involve use of pesticides or pest management. ESIAs include guidelines for chance finds procedures, which will be integrated into the contracts for construction. If physical cultural resources are found, a cultural property management plan (CPMP) will be developed. The project received a complaint from a PAP along the Physical Cultural Resources (OP) (BP 4.11) Yes James Gichuru junction-Rironi road section, raising concerns that Sigona House is likely to be impacted by the road improvement works, and is considered a cultural heritage site by residents in the area. KeNHA has redesigned this section of the road alignment to avoid the Sigona House structure. The policy is not triggered as the proposed route Indigenous Peoples (OP) (BP 4.10) No roads construction and rehabilitation activities are in urban areas and peri-urban areas. Subsequent to the conduction of ESIA, RAP(s) will be prepared for: (i) (updating of) Kisumu Northern Bypass, KeNHA has prepared the RAP ToRs, they have been cleared by the World Bank, and were disclosed in country on October 15, 2018, and in the Involuntary Resettlement (OP) (BP 4.12) Yes World Bank external website on October 17, 2018 ; and (ii) feasibility and detailed engineering design studies of selected roads adjoining major towns, KeNHA has prepared ToRs, they have been cleared by the World Bank, and were disclosed in country on October 15, 2018 and on the World Bank The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) external website on October 17, 2018; (iii) RAP for the selected improvement of traffic management including construction of traffic control centers, provision of traffic management ICT solutions, design, installation and monitoring of an intelligent transport system.

KEY SAFEGUARD POLICY ISSUES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT A. SUMMARY OF KEY SAFEGUARD ISSUES 1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the Restructured project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts. Environmental category of the project is changed from B to A as a result of the significant adverse social and environmental impacts observed during the current implementation and the likelihood of its continuance for the remaining activities as well. The adverse impacts include: traffic disruptions and access restrictions; noise and air pollution; soil erosion and pollution; construction camp impacts; occupational, health and safety impacts on the workers, pedestrian, residents and commuters during construction. These apart, significant physical and/ or economic displacement is expected. In respect of Lot 3, project is expected to affect 5,300 households. Thus, cumulative environmental and social impacts resulting from the project activities are likely to be substantial. Safeguards Policies triggered in the original project were: Environmental Assessment (OP/BP 4.01), Physical Cultural Resources (OP/BP 4.11) and the Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12). No new safeguard policies will be triggered. The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) OP/BP 4.01 Environmental Assessment: Overall, the project would significantly contribute to improved public transportation, reducing traffic congestion and spur economic development. However, as the project activities will be implemented within urban and peri-urban areas where many schools, businesses, institutions, farms and residential estates/houses are located, it is expected to have health and safety impacts on the communities, commuters and pedestrians during the construction phases of the projects. OP/BP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement: The project has two major ongoing civil works: one, James Gichuru to Rironi road; and the other, around Meru Bypass. The latter has progressed as planned and resettlements have been completed viz., lands acquired and compensations paid. The former, Improvement of James Gichuru junction to Rironi road section, aggregating to about 26 Km, is in progress. For strategic purposes, as the contractor had been in place and towards effecting resettlement aptly, the entire section is visualized in three lots- A, 7km; B, 9 Km; and C, 10 km. Accordingly, three different Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) have been prepared and disclosed. Overall, it is likely that the project will affect about 5,300 persons. The least number (about 700) is in 3C and the remaining are spread equally between the other two sub sections (A and B). One of the lots- 3A- has a road side market with many vendors on either side of the road. Construction of the James Gichuru Junction to Rironi road, is expected to affect commercial establishments, institutions and petty businesses. Given the complexity of the situation, civil work has begun only in 3C. Enumeration of PAPs is reported to be completed and that valuation viz., compensation amounts computed. Total compensation for 3C as estimated initially worked out to 1.5 billion KS (US$ 15 M) (reportedly gone up after NLC’s verification to US$ 65M). No compensations have been made so far as KeNHA is awaiting funds from Government of Kenya (Treasury). The works have started only in such places where land acquisition is not an issue. KeNHA has assured that no works will be undertaken in such sections where lands are to be acquired until compensations are disbursed. In respect of other two sections, compensation requirement is estimated at about 7 billion Ks (US$ 70 million). Further, in respect of 3A, lands for constructing the market is yet to be secured. So, road construction will have to wait till such time the market is fully developed and traders relocated. Total compensation amounts, US$ 135 Million, is too huge relative to the construction cost of US$ 164 million. KeNHA and GOK are abreast of this situation and efforts are underway to address this situation. OP/BP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources: A PAP along James Gichuru junction-Rironi road section, raised concerns that Sigona House is likely to be impacted by the road improvement works and is considered a cultural heritage site by the area residents, the PAP took the issue to the High Court and the ruling has not been determined. KeNHA has redesigned this section of the road alignment and the Sigona House structure has been avoided. Community/Occupational Health and Safety: In October, 2017 KeNHA informed the Bank of a fatal traffic accident along the James Gichuru junction-Rironi road, at the Kamandura area involving a pedestrian and contractor's vehicle truck. The investigation to the accident established that the contractor's team on site did not follow the health and safety and traffic management plans and procedures resulting in the fatal traffic accident. The Bank and KeNHA agreed on an action plan to improve the traffic management, and the health and safety performance for the subproject. KeNHA has fully implemented the action plan, and there is significant improvement on the community/occupational health and safety performance and compliance in the subproject, and no serious or fatal accident has been reported. In the Meru Bypass, the construction works are ongoing, no serious or fatal accident has been recorded in the contract.The environmental and social performance is considered satisfactory. Labour influx and Labour issues: The project two main ongoing active civil contracts are the James Gichuru junction to Rironi road and the Meru Bypasses. Both are located within the urban and peri urban settings, most of the workers are from within the project areas, few of them are national and expatriates staff. Only expatriate workers are housed The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) within the construction camps, the national and local workers are accommodated in residential areas along the project areas. The projects have put in place code of conduct which has been signed by all the workers as part their contracts, HIV/AIDs awareness and training has been carried out and GRMs have been operationalized in both subprojects. The James Gichuru junction to Rironi road section has reported sporadic industrial action by local workers, demanding increase for their wages, these issues have been addressed by the contractor and KeNHA through the engagement of the relevant national labour office and other stakeholders. The project environmental and social performance and compliance as per implementation support mission carried in (November-December, 2017) was rated "Moderately Unsatisfactory" , while the latest mission carried out in (May- June 2018) was rated "Moderately Satisfactory", this is a result of KeNHA and the Contractor satisfactorily implementing the action plan agreed with the Bank to address the community/occupational health and safety risks and impacts in the James Gichuru junction -Rironi road section. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area. Long term impacts because of the road improvements are expected to be positive as it would result in reduced traffic congestion and reduction in time and costs of transport. The improved connectivity could also spur economic development and the spread of inhabitation. However, it could cause social impacts such as labour influx to these areas and exacerbate conflicts with the host communities/residents and result in increased HIV/AIDs infections. The ESIAs/ESMPs have taken/ will take into account mitigation measures to manage the potential indirect impacts that may result from the projects. 3. Describe any potential alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. Alternative alignments had been drawn and selection of the final road is made such as to minimize adverse impacts. For example, in case of Kisumu Northern Bypass, the road was aligned to avoid the vicinity of a nursery school. In James Gichuru junction-Rironi road section realignment has been undertaken to avoid Sigona House claimed by the area residents as site of cultural and historic importance.. 4. Describe measures taken by the borrower to address safeguard policy issues. Provide an assessment of borrower capacity to plan and implement the measures described. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC), and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development (MoTIHUD) are responsible for implementing the project activities. KeNHA is responsible for the management of all national roads in Kenya; KURA is responsible for all urban roads, KRC is responsible for the development of railways, MoTIHUD is responsible for policy and technical standards pertaining to roads sub sector issues and is responsible for other transport matters. During preparation of the original project,the ESIAs were prepared and disclosed as follows: (i) Expansion and improvement of the Northern corridor road section through Nairobi starting from JKIA-Westlands-Rironi road section was prepared by KeNHA, disclosed in country on May 9, 2012, and in the InfoShop on May 9, 2012; (ii) ESIA for Kisumu Northern Bypass was prepared by KeNHA, disclosed in country on May 8, 2012, and on the InfoShop May 9, 2012; (iii) ESIA for Meru Bypasses was prepared by Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), disclosed in country on April 24, 2012 and the InfoShop on April 24, 2012; (iv) ToRs for ESIA for construction of a commuter rail system in Nairobi was prepared by KRC, cleared by the Bank, and disclosed in country on May 28, 2012 and on the World Bank InfoShop on May 11, 2012; and (v) ToRs for ESIA for Mombasa Road (JKIA) -Nairobi Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor were prepared The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) by KURA, cleared by the World Bank, disclosed in country on May 28, 2012, and in the World Bank InfoShop on May 11, 2012. Meanwhile the RAPs were prepared and disclosed as follows: (i) JKIA-James Gichuru Junction-Rironi road section was prepared by KeNHA, disclosed in country on May 2, 2012, and in the InfoShop on May 3, 2012; (ii) RAP for Kisumu Northern Bypass was prepared by KENHA, disclosed in country on May 9, 2012, and on the InfoShop May 9, 2012; and (iii) RAP for Meru Bypasses was prepared by Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), disclosed in country on May 9, 2012 and the InfoShop on May 9, 2012. Looking forward: following safeguards instruments will be prepared and disclosed during the implementation of the restructured project: (i) updating of ESIA and RAP for Kisumu northern bypass, to include the expansion of the adjoining Kisumu airport-Kisian road section; (ii) ESIAs and RAPs for the feasibility and detailed engineering design studies of selected roads adjoining major towns; (iii) ESIA, SEP and RAP for selected BRT corridor in Nairobi; (iv) the ESIA and RAP for the improvement of traffic management including construction of traffic control centre, provision of traffic management ICT solutions, design installation and monitoring of an intelligent transport system (ITS) for Nairobi; and (v) SESA for the proposed master plans as well as investment plans for sustainable commuter rail for Nairobi and Mombasa . Environmental and Social Impacts from the projects will be mitigated according to the measures set out in the ESMPs. Mitigation measures taken or to be taken include the following: (i) construction sites will be sprinkled with water; (ii) workers will be provided with appropriate and adequate PPEs; (iii) workers will be regularly trained on the OHS risks; (iii) contaminated soils, solid waste and waste water will be removed and disposed off site by licensed waste handlers and in appropriate sites; (iv) quarry sites and burrow pits will be restored as per the national regulations and good practices; (v) adequate and appropriate signage, markings and diversions to warn motorist and other road users to ward off traffic accidents; sensitize workers and surrounding communities on awareness, prevention and management of HIV/AIDs; and the ESMPs have/will be included in the bidding documents and contracts as legal obligation for contractors to implement. Capacity building to manage safeguards issues is ongoing for all agencies that are implementing the project. The project coordination is led by MoTIHUD and the implementation through the KeNHA, KURA and KRC who have been implementing similar projects funded by World Bank. A capacity assessment conducted of the entities/implementing agencies (MoTIHUD, KeNHA and KURA) for planning, designing, implementing and monitoring of the safeguards has revealed standards to be good. However, the number of safeguards experts at post are inadequate. In this regard, (i) KeNHA and KURA have increased the number of environment and social safeguards staff, and are proposing to hire more additional safeguards staff (ii) in the ongoing contracts for Component A, KeNHA’s Supervision Consultants have/ will provide for full time environmental, Health and Safety and social experts to ensure day to day implementation and monitoring of the safeguards is adequate, (iii) the contractor has/will recruited full time environment, social, health and safety experts to support environmental, social, health and safety risk management (iv) the World Bank is supporting KeNHA to establish the Environmental and Social Management System that will enhance the organization capacity to manage environmental and social risk and impacts within its portfolio of projects and (v) the Bank is continuously organizing short and targeted trainings for the Safeguards teams working with respective implementing agencies, supervision consultants and contractors to ensure their ability to identify and manage environmental and social risks in the project is enhanced. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanism for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS KENYA: NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (P126321) Key stakeholders are the commuters, residents in the nearby vicinity, traders and other commercial and institutional establishments.
