23. Procurement of Works ctd.
 Community-Based Contracting (CBC): Small value, simple civil
works implemented with community participation (e.g. village roads,
community wells, sanitation, irrigation channels, and infrastructure for
community economic activities), up to US$50,000 equivalent per
contract, may be awarded to community based organizations
registered with the respective RAP PICs. Procurement procedures to be
followed under CBC are detailed in the RAP Community Operational
Manual

24. Procurement of agriculture commodities
Procurement of agriculture commodities, such as seed
and fertilizers, will be through direct contracting

Agriculture Department and registered vendors, with
a justification provided for such rates

25. Role of RAP in Implementing ENEeP
 ENReP has been designed to complement its development effectiveness benefiting
from the RAP’s design
 ENReP and RAP (with expected additional funding of US$12 million) would be
programmed and implemented in tandem and with close coordination in all the
villages covered by the ENReP
 RAP would extend its support with provision of block grants through simplified and
speedy implementation mechanisms tailored to the specific emergency circumstances
of the target villages
 Arrangement to use RAP implementation structure and staff for initial implementation
to kick-off ENReP is expected to establish closer collaboration and coordination from
the beginning of implementation of ENReP
25

26. The primary outcome of the project is that it would help in
the resettlement of about 100,000 IDPs by
 Commodity grants (seeds and implements etc.) and assistance
provided to about 15,000 farming households
 50 days of labor work opportunities per person provided to about
45,000 IDP households
 About 12,000 hectares of agricultural (paddy) lands brought back to
production
 650 km of rural roads rehabilitated ensuring inter-village connectivity
and market linkages
 Eight drinking water supply schemes restored benefiting about 30,000
households
 260 public buildings restored and functional
