The construction will adhere to specific standards, follow cost-effective design models and ensure that each school will have: (i) functional classrooms with adequate light, good ventilation, storage and furniture; (ii) an office; (iii) a multipurpose hall; (iv) separate toilets for girls and boys; (v) WASH facilities (WASH facility construction will follow the technical guidelines and standards that have been established by the FME); (vi) admin block and staff toilet; and (vii) perimeter fences (where applicable). In SSSs, each new school will also have (viii) a computer room or science lab; and (ix) other school complementary interventions. The buildings will be designed and oriented on sites according to climatic considerations to minimize solar heat gain. See more details in annex 6 on climate change considerations in construction. The project will use only public lands, free of squatters, for the construction purposes. All buildings will be accessible for children and youth with disabilities, will be in a location deemed safe by the community (with a safe pathway for access from the communities to schools to minimize isolated and unsafe routes to schools) and will follow the crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles<a href=\"#page28\"> <\/a>for adequate safety measures and provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"block-4c1dca-e8e6-4b\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-heading block-4c1dca-e8e6-4b\"><strong>Implementation arrangements for JSS construction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-108bdc-27bd-4f\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-paragraph block-108bdc-27bd-4f\">A community-led school construction modality will be used for JSS construction \u2013 an approach which has been successfully implemented under the CSDP wherein a community structure was established which successfully managed community civil works.<a href=\"#page28\"> <\/a>As such, an existing community structure or newly-elected<a href=\"#page28\"> <\/a>Community Project Management Committee (CPMC) for each targeted community or up to a maximum of three targeted communities will work closely with the relevant departments and the SPIU<a href=\"#page28\"> <\/a>to manage and oversee the construction process, including: the expression of interest, identification of primary schools for expansion with SPIU support, construction management, and overall supervision. Disbursement of funds will be provided in tranches based upon verification of completion of activities and implementation of the teacher recruitment costed action plan. The CPMC will build on existing SBMC structure, register with LGA, open a bank account, prepare a proposal and obtain the respective SPIU\u2019s approval to procure a building contractor according to the agreed procurement procedures. The list of schools where new construction will be undertaken will be validated by the SPIU and approved\/ endorsed by the State Project Steering Committee (SPSC). Training will be provided to the CPMC on construction management and environmental and social (E&amp;S) compliance based on a manual to be developed by specialized consultants hired by the SPIU to support this subcomponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-f54250-d452-4a\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-paragraph block-f54250-d452-4a\">Specifically, in terms of construction, officers from SUBEB and the Departments of Physical Planning of the SME\/SSEB responsible for school construction in the states will serve as technical focal points to the CPMC.
