SOME SALIENT PROJECTS IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT SECTOR
- 1Supervision and Technical Assistance for the Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS) Studies for Phase I of the Lagos Strategic Transport Master Plan Project (LSTMPP 1) (French Development Agency-AFD-funded Project.
The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) has approved US$200M development credit funding for the Lagos State Government (LASG) to implement Phase One of the Lagos Strategic Transport Master Plan Project (LSTMPP). The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) is the executing institution for the LSTMPP which is designed to support the continuous implementation of the LASG Transport Sector policy and strategy, whose overall objective is to establish a sustainable integrated multimodal public transport system benefitting the megacity status of Lagos.
The LSTMPP Phase One is expected to benefit a minimum of 1.5 million inhabitants, who will have direct access to eight Quality Bus Corridors (QBCs) and two Multimodal Interchanges. The development of QBCs and Multimodal Interchanges will require the construction of bus terminals, bus depots, bus shelters, lay byes, rehabilitation maintenance of strategic roads and drainages, etc.
For this purpose, the LAMATA has engaged four consultants for the preparation of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) and the Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) for all the eight QBCs as well as the Marine and Mile 12 in compliance with the Federal Ministry of Environment’s (FMENV’s) EIA Act 86 of 1992 and the World Bank’s (WB’s) Environmental and Social Standard Framework (ESS1-10).
The LAMATA will also ensure that the proposed ESIA and RAP studies will be undertaken in an efficient manner within the scheduled time, as well as comply with all the safeguard requirements. Hence, We were appointed to supervise and provide technical assistance and guidance to all four consultants during the ESIA and RAP studies. - 2Integrated Municipal Waste Management Project in Patna, Bihar, India
