TRANSIP Transportation Systems Improvement Program ULG Urban Local Government UPSNP Urban Productivity Safety Net Project Executive Summary The Transportation Systems Improvement Project (TRANSIP) is a project envisioned to improve accessibility and safety in selected road corridors of the City of Addis Ababa. As part of the due diligence for the Transport Systems Improvement Project (TANSIP) an independent Social Impact Assessment (SIA) was undertaken to identify negative social impacts and make recommendations for the Project to avoid, minimize or properly compensate such impacts. Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), addressing physical and environment impacts, and RPF addressing potential risk related to involuntary resettlement are another TRANSIP documents to be read together with this Social Impact Assessment (SIA). TRANSIP will introduce the concept of street’ to improve the traffic flow, accessibility and ‘complete safety of transportation systems in the city. The envisaged works will involve modifying intersections, installation of drainage facilities and roadside furniture (including street lighting, bench, trees etc.), construction of new and strengthening of existing pavements, and widening the existing walkways within the right of way. The objective of the SIA is to determine unintended social impacts (both positive and negative) during implementation of TRANSIP sub project (to improve road and pedestrian safety & Improve Conditions of Road Infrastructure and Pedestrians Facilities), and recommend mitigation measures for the identified risks. The SIA includes the processes of analyzing, monitoring and managing any unintended negative social consequences of the Project interventions and any social change processes invoked by those interventions. SIA assesses or estimates, in advance, the social consequences that are likely to follow specific Project actions. It is a process that provides a framework for prioritizing, gathering, analyzing and incorporating social information and participation into the design and delivery of developmental interventions.
