SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
1. THE PROJECT AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMPONENTS
1.1 The private mobile telephone company “TELECEL FASO” approached the African
Development Bank (AfDB) for assistance in implementing its 2012-2013 investment plan.
The said plan is a project designed to enhance the country’s national rural coverage capacities
and improve service quality. In total, 200 new sites will be established, with the Bank’s
assistance covering 52 new sites.
1.2 The project has a single component which consists in extending the TELECEL
FASO network by installing sites in the 52 localities selected. There are two types of works
depending on their nature: -i-preparatory works for site installation (preparatory phase). They
consist of the ordering of on-site equipment and acquisition of land for their installation; -ii-
site installation works or construction phase of the project consisting of the installation of
equipment on the various sites.
1.3 Each site comprises the following equipment: (i) a 42 to 100 m high pylon, (ii) a
digital radio-relay system, (iii) a shelter, (iv) one or more BTS, (v) a battery tray, (vi) a solar
field to power the site, and (vii) a back-up generator.
1.4 The project area spans 52 localities for the installation of new sites, more generally
the whole country given the branch of activity concerned, which is electronic communication.
The 52 localities in question total approximately 3 million people.
1.5 The context of TELECEL FASO’s 2012-2013 Investment Plan is marked by:-i-
implementation of the strategic guidelines of the State which focuses on the
telecommunications sector, in particular, through the 2011-2015 Accelerated Growth and
Sustainable Development Strategy (SCADD), and sector-based policies in the areas of
telecommunications, energy, regional development, environment and gender;-ii- clear legal
provisions including TELECEL FASO’s operating permit, renewed in May 2010, the laws on
electronic communication, the environment and forest resources; -iii-an institutional
framework for the implementation of the project and its ESMP, namely the regulatory
authority for electronic communications, the National Bureau of Environmental Assessments
(BUNEE) of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and regional
directorates of the said Ministry.
2. MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
2.1. Positive impacts of the project
i. Financial income for bare land unit and rooftop owners due to the acquisition
or rental of such parcels of land by TELECEL FASO for the installation of
sites;
ii. Creation of local jobs and financial income for local workers in the 52
localities concerned. Approximately 33.8 million CFAF will be distributed to
local workers during the construction phase.
2
iii. Improved access to the TELECEL FASO mobile telephone network by nearly
three million people living in the target localities of the 52 sites.
iv. Job creation and income generation in the localities newly covered by the
TELECEL FASO network. The ADB-supported project should help create 88
new representations, 10,000 new retail points of sale or over 15,000 additional
new indirect jobs;
v. Mobilization of substantial tax revenue for the State budget: customs duties,
VAT, taxes on industrial and commercial profits.
vi. Improvement of the quality of electronic communication services (internet and
mobile telephony) countrywide and beyond.
vii. Reduction of greenhouse gas (especially carbon dioxide) emissions due to the
option for solar energy production to supply power to the sites, the generators
provided for serving as a back-up in case of failure of the main system.
2.2. Negative impacts of the project
The project involves safety and health risks, namely:
i. Risk of accidents for local residents and users of roads adjacent to the sites.
ii. Deterioration of air quality due to the drilling of holes to be injected with
concrete for the installation of pylons and degradation of the living
environment by worksite waste.
iii. Risk of collapse of pylons due to high winds.
iv. Risk of collision with aircraft or disruption of the navigation system.
v. Health risks due to electromagnetic field that creates a sense of unsafety among
residents around sites.
vi. Health risks faced by persons handling used batteries installed in on-site trays,
after their 10 years useful life.
vii. Risk of lightning due to pylon height compared to the other highest points in
the area and given their constant exposure to natural phenomena.
viii. Risk of injury and chemical hazards where solar panel pieces are left
abandoned after their 25 years of useful life.
ix. Increase in non-biodegradable and biodegradable waste in urban and rural
areas due to the use of TELECEL cards by ever-increasing numbers of
subscribers not used to dust bins.
3
3. OPTIMIZATION AND MITIGATION PROGRAMME
i. Payment of several months of land rent would provide lessors on each occasion
with amounts that could be reinvested in other income-generating activities. To
ensure that TELECEL FASO plots for the location of its sites are acquired
according to the rules and procedures of the AfDB and national laws and
regulations, a Summary Resettlement and Compensation Plan has been
prepared (Annex 1) to accompany the ESMP.
ii. The risk of accidents in the construction phase will be avoided or minimized
through on-site signage and equipment of skilled workers by the contractors
responsible for the installation of sites.
iii. Deterioration of air quality will be reduced by water spraying on sites when
holes are being drilled, to mitigate this negative impact.
iv. Conducting Information - Education - Communication (IEC) campaigns by
TELECEL FASO in the preparatory phase will allay the feeling of insecurity of
residents around sites regarding the risk of collapse of pylons and the health
risk due to the electromagnetic field of the facilities. The local authorities and
members of civil society organizations will be involved in such IEC sessions.
v. To address the risk of the collapse of pylons, the following measures will be
taken:-i-specification of technical standards for the construction of pylons
which must be of steel and able to withstand winds speed at up to 180 km/h; -
ii- excavations for the installation of pylons must meet the technical standards
shown in Table 1 below.

vi. To address the electromagnetic field-related health risks, it will be necessary to
reassure local residents that there is no hard scientific evidence regarding
electromagnetic field-related health impacts. In fact, the TELECEL FASO
permit authorizes it to operate its network in the 900 MHz to 1800 MHz
frequency bands which correspond to transmission power of 4.5 and 9.00
watt/m2, which are consistent with standards set by the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the International Commission for Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
vii. To prevent the risk of collision with aircraft or disruption of the navigation
system, no site will be located near an airport or aerodrome, especially at the
4
takeoff or landing rotation angles. Furthermore, each pylon will be equipped
with daytime (pylons painted with alternating white and red stripes) and night-
time (red light on top of pylon) signaling.
viii. Risk of lightning due to the electromagnetic field and height of the pylons will
be prevented due to on-site lightning protection devices.
ix. Health risks faced by people handling batteries will be prevented through
removal and re-export of batteries every ten years by contractors approved by
the Ministry in charge of Environment.
x. The risk of injury and chemical risk due to solar panels left abandoned will be
avoided through waste removal and disposal in controlled landfills.
ix. Fencing of sites is among the security measures around the facilities, but also
for the safety of users of areas located around sites.
x. Several initiatives developed by TELECEL FASO can help address the
challenges of increasing amounts of biodegradable and non-biodegradable
urban and rural waste due to the use of cards: reduction of card sizes, ordering
of 100% biodegradable cards, and increased electronic recharging targeting
50% by 2013.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME
i. An environmental and social monitoring programme has been established specifying the
actions on which attention will be focused in the different phases of the project. A
summary table shows the key impacts, mitigation/optimization measures, actors
responsible, frequency and/or period and output indicators. Some mitigation measures
should be monitored during the preparatory phase (land acquisition, preparation of
bidding documents), and others in the construction phase or operational phase.
ii. The terms and conditions of environmental monitoring are clearly defined: internal
monitoring will be conducted by the environmental officer and the technical directorate
of TELECEL FASO, and external monitoring will be carried out by the National Bureau
of Environmental Assessments (BUNEE). Monitoring consists of field missions to
ensure the effectiveness of the measures proposed and their compliance with the
specifications given. Financial provisions have been drawn up for this purpose.
5. CLIMATE CHANGE
i. Main Challenges: The main climatic challenges of this project are risks of winds that can
cause the collapse of pylons and CO2 emissions due to the use of diesel for genetors.
ii. Adaptation: technical arrangements are made by TELECEL FASO to ensure that the
pylons are able to withstand strong winds. They relate to:
technical standards required by TELECEL FASO in the specifications for ordering
pylons. These shall be made of steel and able to withstand winds speed of 180
km/h.
technical standards for excavations and concrete for the installation of the pylons.
These standards are specified above.
iii. Mitigation: CO2 emissions will be reduced as a result of the use of solar energy
through photovoltaic panels designed to supply project sites with power. Reduction of
CO2 emissions is estimated at 88.4 t CO2 / year.
6. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND CAPACITY BUILDING NEEDS
i. AfDB’s responsibilities are to ensure:-i-effectiveness of the inclusion of environmental
clauses in the BD for the selection of the contractor (s) and in guarantee documents;-ii-
consideration of the status of implementation of the ESMP in the preparation of periodic
reports on the implementation of the project.
ii. TELECEL FASO’s responsibilities are as follows:-i-compliance with commitments vis-
à-vis the AfDB;-ii-effective inclusion of environmental clauses in the bidding documents
and the performance report and guarantee documents;-iii-communication of its work
plan to BUNEE services for environmental monitoring.
iii. The responsibilities of contractors in charge of procurement of equipment and installation of
sites are:-i-overall compliance with its commitments vis-à-vis the client;-ii-compliance with
commitments regarding implementation of environmental and social measures -iii- ensuring
compliance with commitments by any subcontractors regarding environmental and social
9
measures;-iv- provision of reports and other documents required covering the management
of environmental and social measures.
In terms of capacity building, the following are recommended:-i-a workshop for ownership of the
ESMP by key personnel of TELECEL FASO and-ii-establishment of an Environmental and Social
Management System (ESMS) by the TELECEL FASO.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION – BACKGROUND
1.1 The private mobile telephone Company TELECEL FASO approached the African
Development Bank (AfDB) for assistance in implementing its 2012-2013 investment plan. The said
plan is a project designed to enhance its national rural coverage capacities and improve service quality.
In total, 200 new sites will be established, with the Bank’s assistance covering 52 new sites.
1.2 In accordance with Bank requirements for Category 2 projects, an Environmental and Social
Management Plan (ESMP) must be prepared, the summary of which must be published on the Bank’s
website. The regulations in force in Burkina Faso require the preparation of an environmental and
social leaflet for this project given the very limited impacts. The project consists of a single component
consisting of the installation of the sites in the 52 selected localities that are mostly rural (with the
exception of Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso). Each site comprises the following facilities: (i) 42 to
100 m high pylon, (ii) a digital radio-relay system, (iii) a shelter, one or more BTS, (iv) a battery tray (
v) a solar field to supply power to the site, (vi) a back-up generator. The useful surface area of the land
for the installation of each site varies from 20 m2 to 800 m
2 depending on whether the pylon is a
freestanding or a guyed pylon.
1.3 For the installation of each site, the Company is required to acquire parcels of land, resulting in
de facto land acquisitions that must be done according to the rules and procedures of the Bank.
Landowners should not be aggrieved, and acquisitions should not result in displacement of households.
It is in this context that this Compensation and Resettlement Plan Framework is developed, in addition
to the ESMP. This is actually an abbreviated CRP given that land acquisitions involve only the
acquisition on the basis of mutual agreements between TELECEL FASO and the owners of the 52
plots.
II. LEGAL BASIS
The legal bases of the land acquisitions under this project are the following instruments:
For Burkina Faso
1.1. The Constitution of 2 June 1990, in particular Article 15, which stipulates that property
ownership is guaranteed for all and cannot be encroached upon save in case of public interest
recognized in accordance with legal procedure. It further stipulates that "no one shall be deprived of the
enjoyment thereof save in case of public interest and against fair compensation determined in
accordance with the law. Such compensation shall take place prior to land acquisition, except in cases
of emergency or force majeure. "
1.2. Law No. 014/96/ADP / 23 May 1996 on Agrarian and Land Reform (ALR) and Decree N° 97-
045/PRES/PM/MEF of 6 February 1997 on the conditions and procedures for application of the Law on
the Agrarian and Land Reform;
o Section 51 of the ALR stipulates that any occupant of a piece of national land must hold
one of the following titles: assignment order, land release order , occupancy permit,
urban residence permit, permit to operate, lease.
Annex I
Page 2/7
o Section 53 of the ALR recognizes land rights for the benefit of rural land occupants who
need no administrative title to justify occupancy ; however such persons are legally
entitled to compensation whenever their land rights (fields or dwellings) are undermined.
o Section 148 of the ALR cites various real property rights which are: ownership,
leasehold, usufruct, long lease, right of use and habitation, easements or servitudes,
mortgages or antichresis, liens or mortgages.
o Section 61 provides that any holder of one of the titles authorizing usufruct of a piece of
national land may use such right as guarantee to borrow money or for any other
obligation.
1.3. Land transactions are thus authorized in Burkina Faso, subject to compliance with the legal
provisions relating to the payment of duties and taxes to the relevant land services.
For the African Development Bank
1.4. National provisions are supplemented by AfDB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy (ISP) of
November 2003 (ISP). The Bank’s ISP applies whenever a project requires acquisition of property or
modification of its use, and such acquisition or modification results in a permanent or temporary loss of
income, housing or access to resources, whether in case of legal or illegal occupancy. Compensation
and restoration of incomes in this project will therefore be implemented in accordance with the
regulations of Burkina Faso and the Bank’s ISP. The Bank’s ISP requires that "for projects affecting a
small number of people (less than 200 people supposed to be relocated), and resulting in a loss of assets
or restriction of access to insignificant assets, a Summary Compensation and Resettlement Plan” should
be prepared and agreed with the Borrower.
1.5. This policy seeks to ensure that AfDB-financed project activities do not cause hardship and
impoverishment of affected populations. To this end, they provide specific procedures relating to the
resettlement of displaced persons against their will, which must pay special attention to the needs of the
poorest groups, and which are based on the minimization of involuntary resettlement of people and
compensation of persons to be displaced at the full cost of replacement and displacement. They further
recommend: (i) preparing a resettlement plan where displacement is unavoidable, encouraging
community participation in its planning and execution, (ii) designing the displacement exercise as a
development project, by assisting displaced persons during displacement and during the transition
period on the resettlement site, and supporting their efforts to integrate socially and economically into
the host community, and restoring or improving their former living standards.
III. IDENTIFICATION OF AFFECTED PERSONS AND PROPERTY VALUES
3.1. The TELECEL FASO operational approach is that acquisition of land is immediately followed
by its development through the installation of on-site equipment. To do so, it is the AfDB funding that
enables commencement of the process of identifying specific locations for the installation of equipment
on the different sites. Therefore, at the present stage, the list of those affected may not be available.
Only the localities (villages and councils) concerned by locations of future sites are known. The table
below shows the list of the said locations, types of pylons planned and their heights, as well as the
power supply system.
Annex I
Page 3/7
IV. ELIGIBILITY AND ENTITLEMENTS
4.1 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are defined as those who, as a direct result of the project,
could lose their property, or access to their property or income- generating opportunities. PAPs eligible
for compensation or additional assistance are those covered by this definition and were registered
during the identification of plots for the installation of pylons by TELECEL FASO.
4.2. Payments and other assistance should be strictly based on the census carried out by TELECEL
FASO. The procedure for determining eligibility for compensation, assistance for relocation and
payments consider the following factors (Table 1).

4.3 The amounts of the land acquisition costs vary widely depending on the area, the environments
(urban or rural) and the method of acquisition. There are indeed different methods of acquiring land
parcels according to the experiences of TELECEL FASO (as well as other mobile operators in Burkina
Faso): renting by annual lease or long lease (lasting 20 years) contract or purchase, the last method
being rare.
V. CONSULTANCY ON DISPLACED POPULATIONS AND HOST POPULATIONS
FOR ALL ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS UNDER THE PROJECT AND TO
INFORM THEM OF THE PROJECT IMPACTS
5.1. The acquisition of land by TELECEL FASO does not entail population displacement.
5.2. The acquisition of land by TELECEL FASO in rural communities should follow an approach
that involves local authorities and owners of the parcels concerned, and the various stages of this
process as follows:
i. Making physical contact with the local authority (Mayor of municipality concerned) to
inform them of the proposed extension of the network in its area and explanation of the
need to acquire a parcel of land suitable for installation of the site;
ii. Sending a letter to formalize the process and express the need for a plot;
iii. Information of the population of the future site area by the local authority;
iv. Selection of the location of the site by the technical team of TELECEL FASO and
negotiation of the amount with the landowners.
v. Initiation of the official procedure for site acquisition and registration of the taxes and
duties with the competent Lands service;
vi. Payment of amounts due to the landowner.
vii. Installation of on-site equipment.
5.3. In determining the precise location of the equipment site, TELECEL FASO will avoid causing
the displacement of any property of interest to people in the area: homes, boreholes, barn, etc…
TELECEL FASO will as much as possible, avoid any harmful consequences for the individuals
concerned.
VI. DESCRIPTION OF POSSIBLE FORMS OF COMPENSATION AND OTHER
SUPPORT FOR THE RELOCATION
6.1. In Burkina Faso, there are different ways of acquiring land parcels according to the
experiences of TELECEL FASO (as well as other mobile operators in Burkina Faso)
i. Annual rental or as leasehold plots
For the installation of on-site equipment, it is generally used on sites hosting or not hosting any other
human settlements: houses, shops, etc. which the owner of the parcel wishes to maintain on the same
site. In such cases, the lease contract is registered with the competent land services.

o an example leasehold contract file between Bama municipality and TELECEL FASO for
a period of 20 years is available for consultation. At the end of this contract, TELECEL
FASO pays an annual fee to the Commune for an area of 800 m2 it uses. Given the
private nature of the information, anyone wishing to consult it should write to the
contacts below. This information is not published on the website of the Bank for
confidentiality reasons.
o TELECEL FASO has also signed a leasehold contract with the private company "La
commerciale du Burkina - Kaffi" for a period of 20 years. At the end of this contract,
TELECEL FASO will pay each year to its partner a fee for an area of 100 m2 in the
industrial zone of Ouagadougou. Given the private nature of the information, anyone
wishing to consult it should write to the contacts below. This information is not
published on the website of the Bank.
ii. Renting a plot may also involve very small land areas of 20 to 30 m2 for the installation of
freestanding pylons in urban areas. It may also concern the rooftops of buildings as the case may be.
iii. Purchase of the plot from the owner who thus sells it to TELECEL FASO. In such cases,
the formal sale / purchase of the plot is carried out, with the involvement of the land authority of the
area concerned. The amounts for the plots vary and are the result of an agreement between landowners
and TELECEL FASO.
o Telecel has provided the Bank with a set of documents relating to promises of sale in the
Bobo-Dioulasso urban area for amounts agreed with the owners. The said documents are
available for consultation on request to the contacts mentioned below and after the
approval of both parties.
o Telecel has provided the Bank with documents on the transfer of a parcel of land in the
Seytenga rural area (Sahel region towards the border with Niger) for amounts agreed
with the owners. The said documents are available for consultation on request to the
contacts mentioned below and after the approval of both parties.
These examples attest to the legality with which TELECEL FASO acquires parcels of land for the
location of its sites. For the 52 sites, this legal approach should be pursued by TELECEL FASO and
verified by the Bank.

AND FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION
