Executive Summary:
The Tertiary/ Higher Education Development Program of the Government of Pakistan
include a number of construction and infrastructure development projects in Universities
and Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s). These projects can potentially have some
negative social and environmental impacts. An Environmental and Social Management
Plan (ESMP) has been prepared, which identifies the appropriate mitigation measures,
defines the environmental and social monitoring requirements, describes the
documentation and capacity building protocols, and specifies the capacity building needs
for effective implementation of ESMP. The ESMP describes the major objectives of the
plan and its elements, nature of potential impacts, and proposed mitigation plan to cater
with the various types of impacts likely to appear during different phases of the
construction projects. The plan has also suggested the procedure and organizational &
reporting system for its implementation.
The effective implementation and monitoring of the ESMP will require capacity building
of the project staff, involvement of the faculty members of the Environmental Science
departments in the relevant Universities in the process and effective follow up by the
Monitoring and Evaluation Cell of Higher Education Commission. Institutional
arrangement to involve these major stakeholders in the monitoring process has been
proposed in this ESMP. Besides these initiatives, Third Party Validation has also been
proposed in the plan. The total cost of ESMP has d been estimate as PKR 20 Million,
which will be met from the technical assistance component of the Tertiary Education
Support Project (TESP).
It is earnestly believed that if holistically followed, the ESMP will help in mitigation of
the likely social and environmental impacts during execution of the construction and
infrastructure development projects. To achieve this aim, firm commitment for the
implementation and mentoring of this plan, from the major stakeholders will be required
during all phases of the projects.

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)
1. Introduction
The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan desires to undertake infrastructure
development projects at Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s). To
avoid or mitigate any potential threat to the natural and social environment due to the
construction activities under the infrastructure development projects, a rapid
environmental assessment has been carried out of some of the completed and ongoing
construction projects, and the present Environmental and Social Management Plan
(ESMP) has been prepared, in accordance with the World Bank’s guidelines and
safeguard policies.
This ESMP defines the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders and presents a
set of environmental mitigation measures, which focus at avoiding and or preventing the
adverse environmental and social impacts of the projects. The ESMP also suggests
institutional setup for ensuring smooth implementation, compliance, monitoring &
reporting and capacity building of the stakeholders.
2. ESMP Objectives
The present ESMP has been developed to provide simple and easily understandable
environmental and social management procedure for the implementation of
infrastructure/ developmental projects at Universities and Higher Education Institutions
(HEI’s) under the auspicious of Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The ESMP
provides the guidelines and procedures to address and mitigate low to medium intensity
environmental impacts likely to be encountered during the currency of the projects.
The specific objectives of the present EMP are:
To identify likely social and environmental impacts of the infrastructure/ developmental
projects and related activities at Universities and HEI’s.
4
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
To suggest suitable measures for mitigation of such impacts at the planning, designing
and implementation stages of these projects, so as to eliminate or reduce their adverse
nature (if any).
To propose Environmental Monitoring Program to ensure that the mitigation measures
are implemented during the project execution and timely corrective actions are taken,
where required. The information obtained during environmental monitoring will also
assist in the planning and designing of new projects.
To propose institutional arrangements, incorporating roles and responsibilities of
stakeholders, required to implement and monitor the ESMP.
3. Legal and Policy Overview
The present ESMP has been developed after reviewing the relevant promulgated
environmental legislation and guidelines of Government of Pakistan and that of the
World Bank’s safeguard policies. These legislations and safeguard policies, and their
relevance to the proposed project, are briefly discussed below.
i.
Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997.
The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (PEPA) is the apex environmental
law in the country, and provides for the protection, conservation, rehabilitation
and improvement of the environment, for the prevention and control of pollution,
and for promotion of sustainable development.
Section 12 of the Act requires preparation of environmental impact assessment
(EIA) or initial environmental examination (IEE) before commencement of
projects likely to cause adverse environmental effects.
ii.
Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (PEPA) Review of IEE &
EIA
Regulations, 2000:
These Regulations define procedures for preparation, review and approval of
environmental assessments. The projects falling under any of the categories listed
5
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
in Schedule-I require preparation of Initial Environmental Examination (IEE)
report, whereas those falling under categories listed in Schedule-II require
preparation of at detailed study, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
The construction activities at the Universities and HEI’s don’t fall under any of
the Schedule-I or Schedule-II of the Regulations, which define the categories of
projects requiring IEEs and EIAs to be carried out. Therefore these construction
activities would not require preparation of IEE or EIA report.
iii.
WB OP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment):
This Operational Policy (OP) requires EA to be conducted of projects proposed
for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and
sustainable with an objective to improve decision making process.
The OP also categorizes the project in one of the four categories on the basis of
the type, location, sensitivity, scale of the project, the nature and magnitude of its
potential environmental impacts.
The proposed construction activities have been classified as Category B, and are
likely to have low to medium level of adverse effects to environment and human
population. The present ESMP has been prepared in response to the OP 4.01.
iv. Other WB OPs: The WB OP 4.04 (Natural Habitats), OP 4.09 (Pest
Management), OP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Resources), OP 4.36 (Forests), OP 4.37
(Safety of Dams), OP 7.50 (Projects on International Waterways), are not likely to
be relevant for the construction activities under the projects covered by this
ESMP, hence these OPs are not triggered.
4. Description of Construction Activities in Universities and HEI’s.
The ESMP has been developed for different components of infrastructure development
projects in the Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s). These projects
may generally have limited environmental concerns as small to medium scale
6
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
construction and developmental projects will be undertaken. The scope of the
developmental projects is briefly explained as follows:
1. Construction of Academic and allied administrative, residential buildings for
various departments of Universities and HEI’s to cater their growing space
requirements for the male and female students, faculty and staff etc.
2. Renovation / rehabilitation of existing buildings.
For further details see Annex-A.
5. Project Management and Construction Methodology:
The standard methodology for design, execution and maintenance of the construction
projects will be followed, which will normally include the following phases:
5.1 Land Procurement:
Most of the developmental activities have been planned within the exiting Campuses of
the Universities and HEI’s, where land is available. However in cases, where the exiting
space is not sufficient for the construction of new facilities, land would be acquired
through acquisition of existing Government lands, where available. In such cases, the
cost of land will be included in the project proposal at the approved Govt. rates. Free of
cost Govt. land will be preferred, where available. In both the cases the title of the land
will be transferred to the respective institution.
5.2: Site selection:
Site selection is one of the basic considerations in ensuring the construction of
environment friendly, socially acceptable and sustainable building.
5.3 Architectural Planning and Engineering Designing (A&ED) Phase:
Architectural Planning and Engineering Designing (A&ED) of the proposed facilities will
be carried out on the basis of conceptual plans and requirements of the users. For
7
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
selection of the Architects and Consulting Engineering firms for the design work, the
standard procedure and methodology of Pakistan Engineering Council will be followed
and detailed Architectural Planning and Engineering Designing (AE&D) will be carried
out for each and every project site. The design, prepared by AE&D must add value to the
environmental and social surroundings.
5.4 Execution and Construction phase.
The construction activities will be carried out by the contractors, which will be selected
as per guidelines given by Pakistan Engineering Council and Public Procurement
Regulations Authorities (PPRA) Rules-2004. The following milestones are normally
defined for construction and infrastructure development projects:
5.4.1
Leveling dressing and site preparation:
The site preparation and leveling & dressing is carried out as per given design based on
the contour map and subsequent detailed design and working drawings developed by the
A&ED firm. For excavation and leveling & dressing at site, manual labor and
construction machinery like excavator and dozers will be deployed. The detailed design
will be based on the principles of natural resource conservation, where the cut and fill
quantities must balance to the potential extent. However in some sites, the specific
topography may require disposal of surplus material or transportation of material from
other sites for filling purposes. The excavated material must be possibly used for filling
of the site and foundation subject to the fulfillment of technical specification.
5.4.2
Sub Structure and superstructure works:
The leveling and dressing is followed by excavation and sub structure works. Subsequent
to this, superstructure (columns, walls, roof slabs, and stairs etc.) is constructed, as per
detailed Engineering design and detailed drawings provided by the consulting firm.
Parallel to these activities other works like plumbing and Electrical works are also
started. On completion of the superstructure, the finishing works are commenced, which
includes plastering, flooring, fixing of doors and windows, wood works, installation of
8
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
toilet fixtures. Finally, painting and polishing of walls, ceilings, doors, windows and
others is done.
The monitoring and progress review of the projects is carried out by the relevant staff as
per guidelines given by the Planning Commission of Pakistan and Monitoring and
Evaluation Cell of the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Progress reports are
submitted to Planning Commission, through HEC on the prescribed formats on monthly,
quarterly and yearly basis. These reports are submitted by the project execution staff to
ensure that the progress and quality of the projects peruses as per desired standards. The
building monitoring committee constituted at the Campus may occasionally inspect the
progress and quality of the projects.
5.4.3
Project Completion:
After completion of the project, it is properly terminated to ensure that the following
aspects of the project have been fulfilled:
i.
All project deliverables have been procured as per approved scope, cost and
quality of the project and no component of the project is incomplete and
unfulfilled. In case of any variation, the requisite approval process for
authentication has been followed.
ii.
All payments to the contractors, vendors and suppliers have been made as per
terms of the contract agreements and no liability is outstanding. A certificate of
“No liability” from the contractors and “Completion Certificate” from the
executing agency must be furnished to close the project.
All contracts must be properly closed and the closure must be notified, where
necessary.
9
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
iii.
All relevant documentation regarding the various phases/sub phases of the
projects must be accomplished for future reference and Third Party Validation,
where required. A document of “Lessons Learned” must be developed regarding
project specific problems and solution etc to help in future planning of such
projects.
iv.
Wide publicity of the termination of the project is required amongst the various
stakeholders of the project to avoid any likely future legal encumbrances.
5.4.4
Project handing Over and Taking over ( Commissioning)
When the project is completed, the execution agency/Project team will hand over
the facility to the respective end users. The handing over/taking over documents
are signed by the respective authorized persons, where the operational
responsibilities of the project are transferred. The people responsible for the
Operation and Maintenance of the facility are identified. Project Completion
Report on the prescribed format is submitted to Panning Commission of Pakistan,
through HEC.
5.4.5
Operation and Maintenance ( O&M) of the facility:
After completion, handing taking over and commissioning of the project, the
operation and maintenance of the facility becomes an essential part. Efforts must
be made to occupy and operate the new facility soon after its completion. The
staff for the operation and maintenance must be identified and notified, where
required. The cost of O&M related human and non human resources are included
in the recurring budgets of the Universities. The Schedule of New Expenditures
(SNE) are developed to workout the estimates of O&M costs. The O&M staff
must ensure that the facility is maintained in good working condition and all
required preventive maintenance measures are taken to increase the service life of
the buildings, equipment and other accessories. The changes in the use of the
facility must be restricted to the possible extent. However if any change is deemed
10
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
necessary, proper Standard Operating Procedures must be adopted and all such
changes must be dully approved by the Competent Forum.
6. Environmental Impacts, Mitigation and Monitoring
The Environmental and Social impacts associated with the construction activities vary in
nature, intensity and frequency and depends on the size of project, its location and
capacity of the major stakeholders to deal with these impacts. The major impacts likely to
be encountered during construction activities are given as follows:
i.
Loss of vegetation and trees:
ii.
Soil erosion and contamination.
iii.
Water pollution and contamination.
iv.
Air Quality deterioration
v.
Noise and vibration.

Environmental mitigation and monitoring will be carried out to ensure that various
mitigation measures are implemented during different phases of the project life cycle and
are properly monitored. The mitigation measures proposed during various phases of
construction life cycles are given in the Environmental and Social Mitigation and
Monitoring Plan in Table A.1. The plan provides details of various social and
environmental impacts in different phases of construction project, proposed mitigation
and monitoring as well as person(s) responsible for the same and frequency of mitigation
and monitoring measures. Effective implementation and follow up of the plan is the spirit
11
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
of the entire efforts to add value to the natural and social surroundings and is required to
be holistically followed by the respective personnel. The Plan must be part of the bidding
documents and subsequent contract agreement, so that its implementation is ensured at all
stages.
7. Institutional and Reporting Arrangements.
Effective implementation and follow up of the “Environmental and Social Mitigation
and Monitoring Plan” requires clear institutional and reporting system at all
Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s), where the infrastructure
developmental projects are undertaken. The roles of various persons(s) and institutions
must be clear to avoid any ambiguity and role overlaps. The proposed institutional
arrangement will be given in the bidding documents. The following institutional and
reporting arrangements will be followed during implementation of the projects.

checklists will be prepared on the basis of the Table A.1). The filled checklists will be
provided to the Project Director/Director Works/Supervision Consultants, as applicable.
The Project Directorate/Directorate of Works and Services of each University/HEI,
where the projects are being executed, will generate monthly Environmental and Social
Mitigation and Monitoring reports, on the basis of the filled checklists provided by the
contractors and their own monitoring, on the prescribed format and will send them to
HEC. The HEC will produce quarterly reports based upon these monthly reports. The
annual report will also be generated by HEC, summarizing the quarterly reports and
findings of the TPV. The deviations (if any) found by the HEC and TPV will be
communicated to the concerned University and HEI’s for rectification and compliance.
vi. Capacity Building
Environmental and Social trainings of at least two members from each University and
HEI (where civil works are planned) will be arranged in the beginning and shall be
repeated every six months for a period of at least three years, as needed. The training will
be arranged by the Learning and Innovation Division of HEC. At least two member from

Annex 10. Environmental and Social Aspects
PAKISTAN: HIGHER/TERTIARY EDUCATION SUPPORT PROJECT (TESP)
1.
The Government’s Higher Education Development Program includes construction of new campuses, building new class rooms
and rehabilitation and renovation of some of the existing facilities in several universities across the country. These construction and
rehabilitation activities can potentially cause negative environmental and/or social impacts, including among others changes in land
use and land form caused by the land take for new buildings, soil erosion caused by site clearance and de-vegetation, soil and water
contamination caused by improper waste disposal, and safety hazards for the workers as well as for the nearby population posed by the
construction activities. None of these potential impacts are likely to be unprecedented, large-scale, or irreversible, and can be
addressed with the help of appropriately designed and implemented mitigation measures. Therefore, the Project has been classified as
Environment Category B, in accordance with the WB OP 4.01.
2.
To address the above-mentioned potentially negative environmental and/or social impacts and in pursuance of WB OP 4.01,
the Project has prepared an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), which identifies the appropriate mitigation
measures, defines the environmental and social monitoring requirements, describes the documentation and capacity building
protocols, and specifies the capacity building needs for effective implementation of ESMP. The key aspects of ESMP are summarized
below.
3.
ESMP Objectives. The ESMP objectives include:
i.
To identify likely social and environmental impacts of the infrastructure/ developmental projects and related activities at
universities and HEI’s;
56
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
ii.
To suggest suitable measures for mitigation of such impacts at the planning, designing and implementation stages of these
projects, to eliminate or reduce their adverse nature (if any);
iii.
To propose Environmental Monitoring Program to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented during the project
execution and timely corrective actions are taken, where required; and iv) to propose institutional arrangements, incorporating
roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, required to implement and monitor the ESMP.
4.
ESMP Elements. The key ESMP elements includes Environmental and Social Impacts; Environmental and Social Mitigation
Plan; Environmental and Social Monitoring and Reporting; Institutional Arrangements, Capacity Building; and ESMP Implementation
Cost. These ESMP elements are briefly discussed here.
5.
Environmental and Social Aspects and Impacts. The ESMP identifies potentially negative environmental and social
impacts and aspects associated with the construction and usage of the HEI facilities. These include the following:
•
Environmental and social aspects associated with facilities’ architectural and structural design, such as conformity to
the applicable bye-laws, safeguard against natural hazards, responsiveness to the local climatic conditions,
maximization of the usage of local materials, conserving energy through utilizing natural light and ventilation as much
as possible, promoting usage of renewable energy, making the facilities accessible to physically disables persons,
availability of separate toilets for men and women and also for disabled persons, availability of safe drinking water,
availability of sewage treatment and disposal arrangements, availability of emergency exists, availability of fire alarm
and fire fighting arrangements, and inclusion of rain water harvesting.
•
Aspects associated with facility site selection, such as change in land form and land use, proximity to sensitive
receptors, proximity to sources of pollution and noise, and accessibility of the facility.
57
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
•
Impacts associated with the construction activities, such as vehicular traffic, sourcing of supplies and materials, erosion
and/or subsiding of soil, contamination of soil and water, deterioration of air quality, safety hazard for the construction
workers and surrounding population, loss of natural vegetation and threat to wildlife, generation of noise and vibration,
damage to public utilities and infrastructure, blocked access, encroachment of the privacy of surrounding population,
and damage to the sites of archeological/cultural/religious/historical significance.
•
Impacts associated with the operation and usage of the Higher Education Facilities, such as contamination of soil and
water caused by improper sewage and solid waste disposal, increased vehicular traffic, parking of vehicles, noise
generation, and disturbance to the surrounding population.
6.
Mitigation Plan. The ESMP identifies appropriate mitigation measures to address the above described potential impacts
associated with the facilities’ design, construction, and usage. These mitigation measures are presented in the Mitigation Plan, which
lists various phases of the project, identifies potential environmental and social impacts associated with each project phase, proposes
appropriate mitigation actions to address these negative impacts, assigns responsibility for taking these actions, and also identifies the
monitoring responsibility for each mitigation action. The construction contractors will be responsible for implementing the Mitigation
Plans, and appropriate clauses will be included in their contracts for this purpose.
7.
Environmental and Social Monitoring. The ESMP describes the mechanism to monitor the implementation of mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigation Plan discussed above. The environmental and social monitoring will be carried out either by the
Project Directorates responsible to supervise the construction activities, or where such Directorates do not exist, by the Supervision
Consultants engaged to supervise the construction activities. The Environmental Science/Engineering faculty of the concerned
university (or a sister institution if no such faculty exists in any university) will also provide top supervision of the ESMP
58
Higher Education Commission, Pakistan
implementation through reviewing the monitoring carried out by the Project Directorates/Supervision Consultants as well as through
conducting random field visits.
8.
Documentation and Reporting. The contractor of each construction works will be responsible to maintain record of
implementing of the Mitigation Plan with the help of checklists developed for this basis. They will produce monthly reports on the
basis of these filled checklists and provide to the Project Directorates or Supervision Consultants.
The Project
Directorates/Supervision Consultants will carry out environmental and social monitoring, as described earlier, and will produce
monthly reports for their respective facility, with the help of monitoring checklists developed for this purpose. These reports will be
shared with the HEC and the relevant Environmental Sciences/Engineering Faculty. The Faculty will review these reports, and
produce their own quarterly reports based upon these reviews and the random visits to their respective construction sites. HEC will
review all the reports submitted to them and compile them to make an overall quarterly report for all the construction sites. These
reports will be shared with all the stakeholders including the Bank.

Institutional Arrangements. HEC has designated Director (Monitoring and Evaluation) as the Environment and Social Focal
Point (ESFP) for the ESMP implementation, who will liaise with the Project Directorates and Supervision Consultants as well as with
the relevant Environmental Sciences/Engineering faculties for this purpose. Similar focal points will need to be appointed/designated
with the contractors, Project Directorates and Supervision Consultants.
10.
Capacity Building. The ESMP also identifies the capacity building needs for its effective implementation. For this purpose,
HEC will arrange/coordinate environmental and social trainings for its ESFP and also for the relevant officers/staff of the Project
Directorates and Supervision Consultants. The contractors will be responsible to conduct such training for their own staff.

Third Party Validation. HEC will also commission third party validation (TPV) of the ESMP implementation on an annual
basis. The findings of these TPVs will inform HEC and its stakeholders about the effectiveness of the ESMP and its implementation
mechanism to minimize the potentially negative environmental and social impacts associated with the facilities’ design, construction,
and usage.

ESMP Implementation Cost. The cost of ESMP implementation has been estimated to be Rs. 44.500 Million. These
estimates cover the costs of capacity building, third party validation, honoraria for the Environmental Sciences/Engineering Faculties
involved in environmental and social monitoring, and other related tasks as well core staff of HEC for the monitoring of the plan. The
ESMP cost will be met from the Technical Assistance Component of Tertiary Education Support Project (TESP) of the World Bank.
