Project details: The project aims to enhance urban infrastructure in secondary cities. It includes investment in water supply, sanitation, energy efficiency, and urban regeneration. Additionally, it focuses on institutional strengthening, capacity building, and supporting sustainable urbanization policies. Emergency response measures are supposed to ensure flexibility in crisis situations.
Project Concerns: The project leads to potential involuntary resettlement and land acquisition issues, particularly concerning the construction of a new water pumping station and the installation of water and sewerage pipelines in the Arbagish settlement area of Chartak district. Both permanent and temporary land acquisitions are anticipated, affecting agricultural and urban lands, as well as farmers, households, and businesses.
The absence of updated documentation regarding the project's progress, design, and resettlement data raises significant concerns.
