applies to the sub-project. The chapter highlights the methods used and recommended some
suggestions to improve the efficiency of the grievance redress system.
T he MSSRP Project established a basicoperationalGrievanceRedressMechanism(GRM)systemin
all the 26 participating municipalities (PMs) and at the central level in CVDB to address
complaints/grievances related to social issues that may arise. This GRM should be considered to
enhance the already existing system at the municipality. The MSSRP project level GRM receives
complaints, grievances, queries, and suggestions. There are GRM Focal Points(FPs)inallPMsand
who follow up on complaints processing and handling. The system provides several avenues for
stakeholders to lodge their complaints and concernsrelatedtotheprojectincludingphone,email,
walk-in, written complaints, social media (Facebook, municipal websites, etc.), etc. Municipalities

the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MOMA) to support their implementation and monitoring ofthe
Program. In addition, it provided capacity building support to municipalities, governorates and
central authorities to enhance their risk management and disaster preparedness capacity.
T he primary beneficiaries of the ESSRP were the communities residing in municipalities thathave

that are already part of the parent ESSRP and an additional 7 municipalities under the municipal
grants,andanadditional5municipalitiesundertheInnovationFundgrants.Therefore,itisexpected
that the total number of beneficiaries will reach around 3 million, including more than 500,000
Syrians, who represent more than 70 percent of Syrians living in host communities other than
Greater Amman Municipality (44% of Syrians living across the country).

parent ESSRPwasontheprovisionoftimelydeliveryofservicesasanemergencyresponse,theAF
placed higher emphasis on sustainability, responsiveness, and efficiency of services in a way that
promotes longer-term resilience and mitigates risks to social cohesion at local levels. This was
achieved by: (i) focusing on more inclusive community consultations to ensure that investments
better reflect Jordanian and Syrian women's and men’s needsandpriorities; (ii)emphasizingthat
investments made through sub-projectsarealignedwithmunicipalities’strategicplanningoverthe
medium-term; (iii) ensuring predictability of funding to allow for better planning that takes into
accountthecostofoperatingandmaintainingprocuredassets;and,(iv)encouragingmunicipalities
to use labor-intensive techniques for public works to support the generation of jobs for Syrian
refugees and Jordanians.

own resources over the course of the AF. To maximize the efficiency of investments amongst
municipalities that have benefited from the ESSRP, the renewal of their eligibility for second-and
third-year grants would be conditioned upon achieving a certain minimum percentage of
commitments. New municipalities have receivedhigherpercapitamunicipalgrantscommensurate
with their needs to rapidly improve their highly stressed local services. In the same vein, new
municipalities would benefit from more flexibility in prioritizing their investments.
S uch sub-projects could focus on, inter alia: (a) enhancements in basic infrastructure including
rehabilitation and maintenance of road networks and other urban infrastructure, buildings, parks
and economic and social infrastructure; (b) procurement of equipment to support a range of
municipal services including solid waste management, maintenance works and sanitation; c)
delivering improved social services to the community with special focus on women, youth and
vulnerablegroups.Examplesofsub-projectstobefinancedthroughmunicipalgrantswillinclude,but
not limited to, procuring solid waste equipment, small recycling activities, investing in alternative
energy sources, roads improvement, social services and skills development training, particularly
those targeting youth and women, recreational and community facilities, public leisure spaces, etc.
T he first component of the MSSRP project, within the responsibility of MOLA, includes the
implementationofmunicipalprojectsthathavepotentialnegativeenvironmentalandsocialimpacts.
Such impacts require measures to avoid, reduce and mitigate them.
nder the component, additional effort was made to strengthen the processes of planning,

Managing Labor Influx
T he Guidance Note for Managing the Risks of Adverse Impacts on Communities from Temporary
Project Induced Labor Influx (2016)5 was considered in preparing this ESMP. Labor Influx is not
anticipated for the sub-project given the small scale of works and also the recruitment process,
which will hire unskilled labor through a lottery system from a pool of local Jordanian andSyrian
refugees. However,theprinciplesofthisGuidancenoteincludetheavoidanceofrisks,assessingits

Jordan enacted a “Law on Protection from DomesticViolence” (no.15\2017) which was promulgated in April 2017. The law requires the
F amily Protection Department to settle disputes in misdemeanor cases filed by victims, and it enables courts to impose protective
measures and protection orders. In addition, specialized judges are identified to address urgent violence cases. After the law came into
effect in 2017, the Judicial Council appointed 107 judges to consider domestic violence cases across the country in a specialized manner.
The Judicial Council adopted a guide for judges on responding to cases of violence against women prepared by the Legal Network for Arab
Women. Eighty judges have been trained in the central and southern governorates.

5.4 Community Health and Safety
5.4.1 Accidental Fires
Impact Assessment
ccording to park designs, the park facility will include several barbeque places, in which it could be a
A
source of fire risk that might generate a potential hazard to park visitors and nearby community as
well as park staff during the operation phase. However, the level of impact is considered moderate,
the risk of fire can be mitigated if appropriate measures are adopted.
Mitigation Measures
The following mitigation measures should be addressed by park operator (Municipality):
● ot allowing barbeque activity in the non-designated areas
N
● Set-up the barbeque areas on a flat ground and away from fences, trees, shrubs and sheds.
● Barbeque grills should be placed fixed (non-movable) and stable
● Donotallowtheuseofpetrolorparaffintostartorrevivebarbequefire-usefirelightersor

● Ensure the availability of fire extinguisher nearby barbeque areas
● Train Park personnel on using fire extinguisher
● Implementing regular maintenance for fire extinguishers to ensure their readiness and
functionality.
● Park personnel should be trained on quick response measures in case of fires
● Park personnel should be equipped with appropriate PPEs
5.4.2 Potential Injuries
Impact Assessment
ue to the nature of the park and the expected activities associated with its operation, park user’s
D
safety should be addressed. However, the expected impact of injuries is low, proper mitigation
measures should be addressed to avoid any potential injuries.
It is worth mentioning that such impact is restricted to the operation phase since no public visits will
be allowed during construction phase, and the injuries risks associated with workers during
construction are to be covered in the OHS plan.
Mitigation Measures
T he Park operator (Municipality) should provide first aid kits in the guard room to be available to the
park visitors.

5.4.4 SEA/SH
Impact Assessment
In assessing risks related to SEA/SH, the MSSRP project hasconsideredtheguidanceoftheWorld
Bank’s Good Practice Note on Addressing SEA/SH Risks in Investment Project Financing Involving
Major Civil Works. A project-level SEA/SH risk assessment was conducted as part of the Project’s
Gender and Social Inclusion Assessment (May 2020) and identified the following key risk factors:
● T he geographically dispersed nature of the sub-projects has the potential to give rise to
situations of SEA/SH. MSSRP sub-projects are by nature, related to roads, parks, and
infrastructurethatcanbeincloseproximitytoschoolsandareasusedbywomen,children,
and other vulnerable groups on a daily basis. These sub-projects are scattered across 26
participating municipalities (PMs) throughoutJordan.Otherprojectactivitiesthatroutinely
involvewomenfromthecommunity,includestakeholderengagementsessions,thatmaybe
led by the municipality, the Local Development Unit (LDU), or the PMU.
● The project’s target population includes Syrian refugees, 80% of which live outsidecamps
living in host communities targeted by MSSRP. Refugees are considered vulnerable
populations for SEA/SH risks.
● Thesmall,dispersedworksandactivitiesundertheprojectmakesitdifficulttomonitorSEA
across the full span of works and activities. MSSRP sub-projects are undertaken by
contractorsandsub-contractorshiredbythemunicipalitiesandworkersarehiredlocally(ILO
supports labor-intensive work programs). The sub-projects are supervised by municipal
engineers and the PMU, and the project also engages youth from the community as
monitors. Women are generally poorly represented in the contracted workforce of the
project. Although cultural norms highly support gender segregated work areas and
environments, there are instances where women might be in unsupervisedenvironments,
for example, female engineers at the worksite.
verall, the SEA/SH risks rating for the project works is low. However local capacity to
O
prevent/respondtoincidentsisconsideredlimitedandneedstobebolstered.MSSRPhasdeveloped
aGBVActionPlanatprojectlevelandbuildsupontheGenderandSocialInclusionAssessment(GSIA,

( February 2020).The SEA/SHRiskMitigationActionPlanwhichtheprojectintendstodisclosesoon,
focuses on key actions that are in place currently and to be undertaken immediately within the
remaining project implementation duration.
Mitigation Measures
● T he project has adopted a Code of Conduct for all project staff, consultants, PMs and
contractors. The Code of Conduct for project staff, consultants and PMs is called the
CommitmentLetterandisappendedinAnnex4.Thecontractors(includingthoseworkingon
Madaba)areobligedtoadoptaContractor’sCodeofConductthatisincludedinthebidding
documents and are required to enforce it for their workers.
● Additionally, a “Supervision Strategy and Guiding Procedures for monitoring adherence to
the Commitment Letter (CL) for Employees, Consultants, Contractors and Participating
Municipalities regarding Gender Based Violence - Sexual Exploitation and Abuse/Sexual
Harassment” has been developed for the MSSRP and will be applicable to this sub-project.
● Anothertooltoensureaproperworkenvironment,freeofSEA/SHproblems,thePMUhas

There are a number of entities that conduct supervision during construction.
T he PMU and Municipal Engineers provide overall construction oversight of the project and have
responsibility for approving Contractor’s environmental, health and safety and social monitoring
plans. They have a presence on the site on a regular and on-going basis.
T he Environmental and Social Monitoring NGO and PMU E&S specialists conduct spot checks of
ContractorcomplianceonE&Smitigationmeasuresaccordingtoanagreedfrequencyestablishedat

Level of Risk: Substantial
Section I: Summary
T hisActionPlanbuildsupontherecentlycompletedGenderandSocialInclusionAssessment(GSIA,
May 2020) for the Municipal Services and Social Resilience Project and includes key SEA/SH Risk
Mitigation and Response Measures in line with the World Bank Good Practice Note (February
2020).TheSEA/SHRiskMitigationActionPlanfocusesonkeyactionsthatareinplacecurrentlyand
proposed to be undertaken immediately within the next 6 months and beyond.
T he GBV SEA/SH Risk mitigation Action Plan adopted the suggested GBV model which had been
developed according to the GSIA findings and placed importance on the localization of the GBV
context in the municipalities and local communities.
T he following activities, addressing priority SEA/SH risks for PMU staff and consultants have been
carried out June 2021- July 202211:
o D
evelopment, endorsement and signature of MSSRP Codes of Conduct (CoCs)12by all Project
Management Unit (PMU)/project staff
o Identification of Gender Based Violence (GBV) service providers. Based upon the initial list of
service providers in the GSIA, a second round of vetting to ensure quality of services.
o Tendering for independent GBV/SEAH Service Provider responsible for managing the
provision of services to prevent and respond to GBV, including SEA/(SH, in support of the
MSSRP.The PMU decided for technical reasons t notto continue with the selected service
provider and to go forward to recruit another agency for this task.
o Training delivery on the MSSRP’ CoC content and SEA/SH to PMU staff, including basic
reporting mechanism and referral information to GBV services.
o Training of direct workers (PMU staff and consultants) on SEA/SH, GBV drivers/risks and Codes
of Conduct in order for them to support the process of rolling out mitigation measures.
o Codes of Conduct for project as a whole, PMU staff and consultants has developed and a
commitment letters have been signed by MSSRP staff , all projects documents were updated
for the launch of Innovation Fund and Second Cycle of Municipal Grants sub-projects and
include a COC with SEA/GBV language for contractors (and their workers) undertaking
sub-projects.
11
It is noted that the proposed timeline of the implementation of these activities is tight, however given the
s ubstantial risk of SEA/SH for the project, the timeline reflects the urgency with which the project must put in
place risk mitigation measures.
12
A customized commitment letter has been derived from both; the Public Service’ CoC and the World Bank
SEA/SH protocols. It was signed by PMU/MSSRP staff and consultants in May 2021.

Annex 6 - MSSRP Chance Find Procedure
Chance Find Procedures
ontracts for civil works involving excavations should normally incorporate procedures for dealing
C
with situations in which buried physical cultural resources (PCR) are unexpectedly encountered. The
final form of these procedures will depend upon the local regulatory environment, including any
chance find procedures already incorporated in legislation dealing with antiquities or archaeology.
For MSSRP, chance finds procedures contain the following elements:
1. PCR Definition
In some cases the chance finds procedure is confined to archaeological finds; more commonly it
covers all types of PCR. In the absence of any other definition from the local cultural authorities, the
following definition could be used: “movable or immovable objects, sites, structures or groups of
structures having archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or
other cultural significance”.
2.Ownership
T he identity of the owner of the artifacts found should be ascertained if at all possible. Depending on
the circumstances, the owner could typically be, for example, the state, the government, a religious
institution, the land owner, or could be left for later determination by the concerned authorities.
3. Recognition
s noted above, in PCR-sensitive areas, recognition and confirmation of the specific PCR may require
A
the contractor to be accompanied by a specialist. A clause on chance finds should be included in
every contractor’s specifications.
4. Procedure upon Discovery
S uspension of WorkIf a PCR comes to light during the execution of the works, the contractor shall
stop the works. Depending on the magnitude of the PCR, the contractor should check with MOMA
for advice on whether all works should be stopped, or only the works immediately involved in the
discovery, or, in some cases where large buried structures may be expected, all works may be
stopped within a specified distance (for example, 50 meters) of the discovery. MOMA‟s decision
should be informed by a qualified archaeologist. After stopping work, the contractor must
immediately report the discovery to the Resident Engineer. The contractor may not be entitled to
claim compensation for work suspension during this period. The Resident Engineer may be entitled
to suspend work and to request from the contractor some excavations at the contractor’s expense if
he thinks that a discovery was made and not reported.
Demarcation of the Discovery Site
ith the approval of the Resident Engineer, the contractor is then required to temporarily
W
demarcate, and limit access to, the site.
Non-Suspension of Work
T he procedure may empower the Resident Engineer to decide whether the PCR can be removed and
for the work to continue, for example in cases where the find is one coin.
156
MSSRP - ESMP - Rehabilitation of Ajloun Public Park MG2 Subproject
Chance Find Report
T he contractor should then, at the request of the Resident Engineer, and within a specified time
period, make a Chance Find Report, recording:
· Date and time of discovery;
· Location of the discovery;
· Description of the PCR;
· Estimated weight and dimensions of the PCR;
· Temporary protection implemented.
T he Chance Find Report should be submitted to the Resident Engineer, and other concerned parties
as agreed with the cultural authority, and in accordance with national legislation. The Resident
Engineer, or other party as agreed, is required to inform the cultural authority accordingly.
Arrival and Actions of Cultural Authority
T he cultural authority undertakes to ensure that a representative will arrive at the discovery site
within an agreed time such as 24 hours, and determine the action to be taken. Such actions may
include, but not be limited to:
· Removal of PCR deemed to be of significance;
· Execution of further excavation within a specified distance of the discovery point;
· Extension or reduction of the area demarcated by the contractor.
T hese actions should be taken within a specified period, for example, 7 days. The contractor may or
may not be entitled to claim compensation for work suspension during this period. If the cultural
authority fails to arrive within the stipulated period (for example, 24 hours), the Resident Engineer
may have the authority to extend the period by a further stipulated time. If the cultural authority
fails to arrive after the extension period, the Resident Engineer may have the authority to instruct
the contractor to remove the PCR or undertake other mitigating measures and resume work. Such
additional works can be charged to the contract. However, the contractor may not be entitled to
claim compensation for work suspension during this period.
Further Suspension of Work
uring this 7-day period, the Cultural authority may be entitled to request the temporary suspension
D
of the work at or in the vicinity of the discovery site for an additional period of up to, for example, 30
days.The contractor may, or may not be, entitled to claim compensation for work suspension during
this period. However, the contractor will be entitled to establish an agreement with the cultural
authority for additional services or resources during this further period under a separate contract
with the cultural authority.
