1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

1. The Project represents a 5-year time slice of Electricity of Viet Nam’s (EVN) transmission expansion program, covering 500 kilovolt (kV) and 220 kV transmission lines and associated

substations. The Project covers the northern part of Viet Nam, which is relatively poor. The Project

will enable power to be supplied to the planned industrial zones in the region, thereby facilitating

employment and income-generating opportunities. Thus, it will benefit the poor and ethnic minorities

living in the project area.

Map of L2225 Project area


Page 6

2. The Project is to (i) strengthen the northern transmission network to improve system

reliability and quality of supply, (ii) facilitate power transfers by removing transmission bottlenecks,

(iii) reduce transmission losses, and (iv) facilitate efficient utilization of existing and planned power

plants.

3. EVN is the Executing Agency (EA) responsible for overall implementation of the Project. The

Project will be implemented as a sector loan, and additional subprojects will be introduced during

implementation. NPPMB and CPPMB, as the implementing agencies, will be responsible for the day-

to-day implementation of the 500 kV and 220 kV project substations and transmission lines.

Adequately staffed project offices have been established in the Hanoi headquarters of NPPMB and

CPPMB to supervise the Project. The loan was approved on 21 December 2005, signed on 22

August 2006 and declared effective on 24 November 2006 for a total amount of $360 million.

Original loan closing date was 30 June 2010 which was extended thrice until 31 December 2013, 30

June 2014 and 31 December 2014.

1.1. Project components and locations

4. The Project scope included twelve 500 kilovolt (kV)& 220 kV transmission lines and

substations in Northern Viet Nam, and provision of spare substation equipment/materials (power

transformers, switchgear, tele-thermal cameras and transformer oil filters). There were

twelvesubprojectsimplemented under the sector loan, comprising three core subprojects (appraised

prior to loan approval) and ninenon-core subprojects (appraised during project implementation), as

follows: (i) Son La–Hoa Binh and Son La–Nho Quan 500 kV transmission lines; (ii) Thanh Hoa–Nghi

Son–Vinh 220 kV transmission line;(iii) expansion of Van Tri 220 kV substation*; (iv) Son La–Hiep

Hoa 500 kV transmission line; (v) expansion of Thuong Tin 500 kV substation**; (vi) Hiep Hoa 500

kV new substation; (vii) expansion of Nho Quan 500 kV substation***1; (viii) Tuyen Quang 220 kV

new substation; (ix) Bim Son 220 kV new substation; (x) Hai Duong 2 220 kV new substation; (xi)

Kim Dong 220 kV new substation; and (xii) Thuong Tin–Kim Dong 220 kV transmission line.

Subprojects (i) to (iii) are the core subprojects.

5. All the 12 subprojects were completed by the loan closing date, except several towers in

Thuong Tin–Kim Dong transmission lines which were completed inAugust 2015after resolving

compensation issues. It is expected to energizeabove transmission line by the end of September

2015.The Project has helped the Government in adequate and reliable transmission of electricity,

including evacuation of powerfrom new power plants that have come into operation during the

project period.

Payment for compensation has implemented from 2009 to 2015. At the end of 2015 there are 5

household don't receive compensation (05 household in Le Loi commune, Thuong Tin district,

Hanoi and the household Mr Tran Thanh Tung in Phu Tho town)

20. As of December 2014, all 12 subprojects have been basically completed. Given previous

results of the resettlement monitoring; there wasno significant resettlement issues observed.

21. According toADB’s SPS 2009 and GoV’s policies on compensation, assistance and

resettlement, the implementation of subprojects shall ensure that all affected people will be

compensated for their damages at replacement cost and propose life rehabilitation methods to help

them to improve or at least maintain living standards and income generation capability to the pre-

21 resettlement sites (one per site), besides, we interviewed 7 single woman headed

households, 5 households loosing assets, and 10 households loosing less than 10% of

total land area. LIC conducted in-depth interview with AHs, project officers and persons

in charge during the RP implementation according to the prepared questions: (i)

advantages and difficulties during the project implementation; (ii) positive and negative

impacts of the project; (iii) resettlement related issues; (iv) effects of livelihoods models

deployed; (v) lessons learnt during the project etc…

Group discussion: Organized 07 focus group discussion, each include 8-10 persons:02

FDG male and female discussion groups in 500kV Son La – Hiep Hoa transmission line

…); 01 FDG male and female discussion group in 500kV Hiep Hoa substation

subproject;02 FDG female discussion group in 500kV Son La – Hoa Binh substation

subproject and 02 FDG male discussion groups in 200kV Bim Son substation and

200kV Tuyen Quang substation

Observation: LIC directly interviewed AHs at their houses, while observing their living

standards and the convenience. In addition, LIC interviewed AHs on how they use the

money and the methods to restore livelihoods of AHs after the project

24.

Quantitative analaysis: Collect the information of affected household, 100% of

heavy affected household and 20% of other affected household.

25. The methods were applied throughout the following process: (i) Sampling process (sample

selection and size); (ii) Data collection and analyzing; and (iii) Implementation arrangement.

Sampling and sample size

Sampling

26. AHs were the target group, including: (i) resettlers, (ii) households loosing more than 10% of

agricultural land, (iii) households loosing agricultural land and/or forestland and/or garden …LIC chosen to interview 20% of total AHs including about 20% severely affected households (resettlers and

households loosing more than 10% land).

27. The selection of interviewees was made in two steps: (i) selecting surveyed districts and (ii)

selecting AHs in the communes. In the selected districts, AHs were selected based on simplified

random selection method, from the list of AHs by subproject. In the selected households, the

interviewer prioritized heads of the households. In case they could not do not, the interviewers asked

other family members (who are from 18 to 60 years old, in their right mind, etc. In case they could not

meet AHs (working elsewhere, not at home after two visits, etc) the interviewer replaced them with

other AH next to that AH.

Sample size

The sample size was selected to represent the total AHs in the project. In this survey, the sample size

was identified based on the following principles: (i) 20% of total AHs (ii) 20% of total severely AHs

(resettlers, more than 10% agricultural land area). 10% samples were added (about 160 households)

of the interviewed households in case the selected AHs refuse to answer or working elsewhere or for

any reasons of not answering the questions. The sampling is as follows:

32. Out of the 1376 people surveyed, the majority of the affected people are Kinh, accounting

68.8% of the respondents. However, the project also affects EMs such as Muong, Thai, Mong and

San Diu. These EMs mainly concentrated in two subprojects of Son La - Nho Quan Hoa Binh and Son

La - Hiep Hoa.

33. EMs affected by the project is distributed in the provinces of Son La, Hoa Binh, and a few

districts in Phu Tho. EMs has seperated language and culture. Most of the project areas are

convenient to transport links, infrastructure, as well as basic social services. Agriculture is their main

source of income including annual agricultural crops as well as the type of product to be harvested

from the forest: wood, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, as well as the exploitation of non-timber products

to serve their life.

34. Today, EMs has access to all production activities, animal husbandry as well as the business

of the Kinh (agricultural trade, handicrafts, as well as models of agriculture production...). Most of them

go to school and are able to communicate in Vietnamese (except for some elderly and illiterate).

Therefore, they also contribute to the development of the region in general and in particular projects.

36. It can be seen that main occupation of serveyd HH is agriculture. Because project area goes

through provinces of the midland northern and mountainous and some provinces of the Red River

delta, the affected area is largely agricultural and forest land. Thus, the job of affected people are

agriculture, 72.6% of the respondents work as agriculture, the number of business / services and

salary/employees is 10.8% and 16.6% of the total surveyed HH.

37. There is a big change in comparision with pre-project implementation, the proportion of people

engaged in agriculture has decreased (72.6% and 79%; the percentage of business and trade has also

increased to 10.8% compared with about 4.8%. The ratio of income from wage / salaried workers also

increased significantly from 9.7% previously to 16.6%. The reseon leading the change is due to the

impact of the project, in the fact, project provinces are where implemented various projects funded by

the government, such as northern mountainous poverty reduction project, 30A programs, 135

programs ... and some other programs.

38. Average income of the interviewees has difference between areas of project implementation,

for example, in Thuong Tin Kim Dong sub-project has the highest average income of 989 thousand

VND / person / month, whereas 2 subprojects of Son La - Hiep Hoa and Bim Son, Thanh Hoa, have

the lowest income, respectively 670 thousand and 672 thousand VND / person / month. Besides, the

average income for men is higher than women around tens of thousand VND / month.

39. However, there was difference in income per capita among ethnic groups when Kinh and

Muong people had highest monthly income of VND 694,000 and VND 698,000 per person

respectively while Hmong people only got around VND 350,000/person/month.

40. The surveyed female household heads accounted for 26.5% of surveyed people and the rest

73.5% was occupied by male household heads. The percentage of household heads engaged to


Page 22

agriculture was 81.6% while that of hired labors was 17.6% and only 1% of surveyed household heads

were traders but they only had small stores selling necessary goods with limited capital.

41. The survey reveals no difference in access to social, educational and health care services

among ethnic groups. Such social services were accessible to all surveyed people in their living

places. Besides, ethnic AHs were also entitled with Governmental preferential policies for ethnic

minority groups and for northern mountainous region.

42. Relocated HHs also rebuilt their houses upon their desires as well as in line with their own

traditions (stilt house for Muong and Thai people). HHs having their assets or agricultural land

affected often spent a part of compensation on repairing their houses. The survey showed that most

AHs still have agricultural land for cultivation and thus, productive land for AHs is still guaranteed.

43. During public consultation, most AHs attended activities in their living places organized in

village meetings or local festivals and ceremonies. Most surveyed people admitted that there was no

impact caused by the project on their traditions and culture.

Box 1: Local citizens 'opinions about the project impacts

“The ethnic minority people now benefit from many Government’s preferential policies such as periodic provision of rice, money etc on annual basis. No matter which ethnic group they are from, all little

children are encouraged to attend school and arranged into the same class without any discrimination.

In addition, ethnic people are also provided with medical insurance certificate so that they could visit

the district’s general hospital when needed at no charge etc” In-depth interview, Project staff in

Thuong Coc commune, Lac Son, Hoa Binh

“The transmission line causes no impact on Muong people’s traditional culture as even in the event of relocation, we still live near our old living place. We might be afraid of being infected by the magnetic

field” In-depth interview with Bui Van Tien, Phu Cuong commune, Tan Lac, Hoa Binh

“We still have farming and forest land as the project only acquired small area for poles and there are some areas on which perennial tree plantation is limited given possible impact cause to the gridline.

Compensation receivers also rebuilt their houses or rehabilitate their kitchen, yard for better living

conditions etc ” In-depth interview with Ngan Van Phan, Mai Son, Son La.


4.1.3. Livelihood and Subsistence Economy

(i) Agricultural activities

44. The agricultural activities of HH concentrated in activities such as: (i) cultivation; (Ii) livestock.

Agricultural production is the main economic activity of HH. Therefore, agricultural activity is the main

source of income of the local people in general and in particular project areas. The survey data

showed that 66.6% of those surveyed have a job and main source of income from agricultural

activities. Agricultural production activities usually associated with crops such as rice, maize, cassava

or timber tree from forests. Other products include bamboo and other plant species diversity. Howeer,

4.1.4. Houses and House styles

48. According to the survey result, the ownership of housing includes wooden housing, bricks or

traditional housing. Basically, accordingly characteristics customs of their people: Kinh often build

bricks housing with or flat roofs, groups of Thai, Muong often use stilt houses, and the San Diu, Hmong

groups use the wooden housing with the architecture of their ethnicity.

52. The surveyed resultes presented that the ownership and the form of the households changes in

comparision with pre-project implementation. Especially for relocation HH. Most of resettlement HH

have rebuilt a new house, in the resettlement areas, as well as their land accordingly their needs. The

observation results showed that the new housings of resettlement HH are better than the on in the

past. Working with these HHs, they said they felt happy about their new home. Households only have

affected land, property, some HH use the money to repair and rebuild their homes.

4.1.5. Access to Infrastructure and Social Services

49. 23 resettlement sites of the sub-projects are built in project communes and they are near with

old places. Therefore, the access to basic social services, including health, transport, electricity and

schools are favorable. Moreover, in the project provinces, during 10 years of project implementation of,

the government of Vietnam has implemented some programs and projects to improve the

infrastructure, inclduing transportation projects, Northern mountainous poverty reduction programs, the

new rural program, 135, ... has invested in subprojects districts / communes. All districts and

communes have inter- district and inter-commune road. Besides, many districts also developed

waterways, transported by boat, raft for commodities such as bamboo, wood or sand mining in the

river ....

53. Health services: All the project communes have health stations, districts has the general hospitals

to meet the health care needs of local people. Households can access health services through this

channel. Also, communes and villages also have other private clinics else.

the transport system of communes and districts.

55. Schools: communes have nursery schools, primary schools, secondary school and high

secondary school. The high secondary school is arranged for the village cluster or in a location

convenient for transportation. Most of the people in these areas have access to education, especially

for young people.

4.1.6. Participation in neighborhood or community groups

51. The project's impact caused by T/L is small and mostly relocated households selected self

relocation. For the displaced households in resettlement areas, HH are consulted to select locations to


Page 24

build resettlement areas and entire resettlement sites are located in the communities of the displaced

households, so the displaced people are not much affected by the loss of relationships, the

connections in the community.

52. The survey results presented that 80% of respondents participated in the mass organizations

at the local movement: farmer’s union, women union, youth union, veteran’s union.The project

information are also informed and disclosure in community meetings, thus HH know fully about the

project information.

4.2. Compensation and resettlement

4.2.1. Resettlement and livelihood restoration

53. The compensation for land affected by project was applied regulation and law. After the 2003

Land Law put in use, Project province People’s Committees issue the regulation related to annual unit

price of land, trees and crops and structures for compensation calculation. The DMS results presented

that there is not business affected by the project.

54. During the resettlement of AHs, they had been informed about the involuntary resettlement

policy and involved in selecting and preparation of resettlement sites. The RPs and compensation

plans had been disclosed to APs during community meetings and loudspeakers. APs were also

consulted on safety while working under the high voltage transmission lines.

55. DMSs were conducted for the assets of AHs (land, crops and trees and structures). Most of

the assets were adequately counted (some case of inadequacy, additional DMS was carried out upon

the request of AHs).

56. Compensation plan for AHs included the amounts for compensation and assistance for AHs

which were very clear and detailed (compensations for land, crops and trees, and structures) and the

assistance together with compensation were paid to all AHs.

57. Payment of compensation and assistance was conducted in a public and transparency way, at

the coordination and witness of NPPMB staff and local staff as well as AHs. Documents related to the

project were relayed to the AHs, both the husband and wife had been signed in the payment receipts.

58. In general, the payment of compensation did not meet with difficulties thanks to consultation

and consensus with the local people in advance. There was no incident during compensation.

59. Payment of compensation was conducted in line with the procedures and processes (with the

participation of local leaders, Center for Land Fund Development, NPPMB, Bank, Police …).

60. All entitlements of APs including compensation and allowances have been delivered to them

prior to displacement from their houses, land, and assets. In some cases, where construction of

resettlement site could not be completed before displacement the rent has been provided for relocated

household until a plot has been allocated in the resettlement site. For vulnerable affected households

including poor and ethnic minority people, addition to compensation, special allowances have been

provided to help them improve their socio-economic status. Severely affected households have been

also provided allowances of job training and subsistence so that they have restored and improved their

living standard.

61. After receiving the compensation payment, during consultation process of RP implementation,

all relocation HH wanted to build thier new houses accordingly their needs. For households received

plots in resettlement sites, they carried out building houses. Some households have not built or selling

to another person. For households who did no receive plots in resettlement sites, they built houses on

the remaining land. LIC found that, there is not impact on livelihood restoration for households in


Page 25

resettlement sites or built houses, in the fact, the resettlement sites are near the old place where they

live in the past.

4.2.2. Before and after land acquisition and resettlement comparison

62. The survey results presents that there is a change both income and job of AHs.The socio-

economic survey of RP implementation shows that the average incomes of AHs is 600 thousand /

person / month. At the time of evaluation, the average income has increased by about 792 thousand /

person / month. In the fact, these households have used the compensation payment to continue

agricultural production and investment in farming or business.

Table 12: Comparision income ratio, occupation ratio before and after project implementation

Before (%) After (%)

Income from business/trade 4,8 10,8

Change for occupation structure

Agriculture 80,5 68,2

Service 9,3 12,5

Salary/Hired worker 10,2 19,3


63. The survey results present that the change of job structure is quite obvious for AHs. The ratio

of employees has increased from 10.2% to 19.3%, the ratio of agriculture reduced, accounting for

68.2% of total surveyed households. In project areasl, in addition to L2225 project, there are some

programs and projects, this led to this change. For example, in Hiep Hoa 500kV station subproject,

who are beolw 40 year-olds or younger were involved in secondary job, such as masonry, motor-bike

repairment, carpentry ... Those people who are in the age group of 20-30 often do as workers for

industrial areas such as Yamaha, Samsung, or Pho Yen industrial zone ...

Box 2: Model of change of job structure in Hiep Hoa – Bac Giang

Currently, Bac Giang has 39 traiditional handicraft villages (to the end of 2015, 2 more villages) recognized by PPC; including 14 traditional handicraft villages, in addition to nearly 14.3 thousand of handicraft workshops with processing industries such as agriculture and forestry product; mechanical production; building materials; crafts, weaving, paper making do ... attract significant local labor and labor from other places. In the past, mostly rural labor resources have low education levels, seasonal workers are low disciplined. By implementing the criteria of employment and education structure mentioned in the national criteria of new rural has contributed to reduce the percentage of workers in the field of agriculture - forestry – fishery, it is expected at the end of 2015 was 56% ; the trained-employment rate reached 47% (up 13.5% compared to 2011), in which trained worker reached 30.5%, meet 2015 target sooner 1 year. This is annually addition labor resource and provide to local enterprises.

The success of the expansion and development of industry, handicraft and traditional craft villages has contributed to change of economic and labor structure, land accumulation and consumption of agricultural products. This is an important making change of economic and labor structure, the ratio of agricultural labor is transferred workers. This helps to improve income for rural people.

64. There are employment opportunities in garment and other factories in the provinces/ districts

and there are existing training courses offered by the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social


Page 27

Affairs (DOLISA) to help members of AHs to obtain employment. However, shifting to non-

agricultural work remains a challenge for people who are more than 50 years old due to the

preference of factories to hire younger applicants. Trading is another opportunity, but would require

good planning, location and capital. Because of these challenges, many older APs are resigned to

the idea of not finding alternative jobs, and relying only on the capacity of the younger members of

their HHs to find better paying and sustainable jobs, thereby adding economic strain to the

household.

65. The success of resettlement planning in restoring living conditions is thus inextricably bound

to income restoration, and effective income restoration in turn necessitates a clear understanding of

livelihoods, capacities and risks faced by those displaced.

66. The crucial role that women play in the socio-economic well-being of the HH can often be

overlooked when AHs’ livelihoods are only examined at the HH level. The nature of women’s work can often be quite different to that of men. The implications for resettlement are that these

differences in the general characteristics of productive work mean that women can experience

different risks and impacts on livelihoods compared to men. Work located close to the home tends to

be the income source most severely affected by resettlement. Women’s separate incomes, while generally lower than those of men, are an important element for empowerment within the HH and

make a significant contribution to HH wellbeing. Overall, lost incomes for women pose significant

risks in terms of increased time, poverty, disempowerment within the family as well as

impoverishment of HHs.

4.3. Restoration of livelihoods

4.3.1. Income restoration models/programs

67. Following Decision No. 1956/QD-TTg dated 27 November 2009 of the Prime Minister, and

Decision No. 1201/QD-TTG dated 31 August 2012 of the Prime Minister approving the National Target

Program on Employment and Training for the period of 2012–2015, local authorities in subproject area:

Organize annual surveys on labor supply and demand and develop a database of households within the communes;

Established a steering committee to oversee the implementation of the employment and training plan in the commune;

Conduct information dissemination on the vocational training scheme for rural laborers;

Guide departments, divisions and missions in implementing the vocational training program; and

Monitor the implementation of vocational training classes in the commune.

68. Vocational training and job referrals have been implemented widely, resulting in significant

improvement in skills development, job creation, and increasing income of people in the commune.

This program is carried out for people under working age affected resulting from land acquisition by

various projects in the province/district. Members of AHs) losing agricultural land under the Project

are eligible to participate in one short term vocational training course (up to 6 months) free of charge.

The main State provider of vocational training is the Provincial DOLISA as stated in Decision

1956/QD-TTg.

69. In the fact, income restoration program for the AHs has not implemented in project area. The

reason is that the ratio of severely affected households is small (less than 10% of total AHs) and not

focus (only 21 resettlement sites of Project). Aside from compensation for tác assets Costs Applying

the unit stipulated by PPC, những HHs received assistances phụ thuộc on Regulations in each

province, như relocation assistance, and temporary housing assistance, and finding new residence and bonus for themselves.


Page 28

70. In the project areas have some programs and projects, includinge 30A, 135, ... of the

government. Therefore, programs of job training, job change have combined into these programs. AHs

have not only received support from L2225 project but also receied from nother projects done in local

areas.

71. The vulnerable groups had chances of income improvement in construction time (hire local

labour) or receive allowances from the project, such as vocational training and particularly allowance

for vulnerable groups and priority access to microfinance loans for economic development. In general,

vulnerable groups felt quite happy with the project allowance. The implementation of the project

activities has brought quite sustainable opportunities for vulnerable groups. They can have access to

various resources through local organizations and unions

72. Generally, resettled HHs received same assistances such as relocation assistance,

assistance to self-resettled HHs, incentive for relocation by progress; assistance for occupation

change and job creation, assistance for electricity fee, assistance for vulnerable HHs etc…Mostly

HH did have any complaint (excepts HH of Mr Trần Thanh Tùng under Sơn La – Hiêp Hoà

subproject).

73. For the resettled HH received plots in resettlement sites felt happy, because the location is not

far from their old home. Thus, there is not difference for their relationship and livelihood. These

households who did not receive land in resettlement sites often built houses in the remaining area,

they also receive compensation amount as well as project allowance.

74. Those HHs only having their land and assets affected were provided with assistance for

occupation change and job creation. In addition, HHs who were temporally affected during project

construction were provided with assistance for their affected assets (for example: soil, sand filled on


Page 29

productive land, damages caused to trees etc). All AHs did directly receive compensation in

payment meetings with participation of NPPMB, DCRB and local commune/village’s authority at the appointed time which was notified to HHs. The receivers all signed for confirmation in the list of

compensation payment receivers. For households losing of asset, land, crop and tree, compensation

payment completed. There is not any compalints (except five/5 HH of Trại village, Lê Lợi commune,

Thường Tín district, Hanoi).

75. The project had no impacts on public and spiritual works and thus, no impacts on the

community’s benefits in local activities. Therefore, traditional and cultural features suffered no influence.

76. In order to ensure the entitlement of severely AHs, NPPMB should closely coordinate with

local authority to prepare a list of severely AHs which then shall be sent to District Agriculture

Extension Center (agriculture extension services) and the district Vocational Training Centre

(training).

4.3.2. Restoration of livehoods

77. The income restoration has been implemented through allowances in cash as RPF required,

including: job training, job change for wholly project.

78. Vulnerable Groups: According to the RPF, vulnerable groups include the (i) female-headed

households with dependents; (ii) disabled household heads; (iii) poor households; (iv)landless

elderly households with no means of support; and (v) households without security of tenure.

Vulnerable group have to receive a cash allowance equivalent to 30 kg of rice per family member

per month for a minimum period of six months as per RPF. LIC found the number of vulnerable

households through DMS data. The data of vulnerable groups presented that (i) Son La-Hiep Hoa


Page 30

T/L has 146 poor HHs; (ii) Hiep Hoa substation has 95 poor HH; 40 female-headed HHs ; (iii) Kim

Dong substation had 15 poor HH; 42 female-headed HHs and (iv) Thuong Tin- Kim Dong T/L had 3

poor HHs, 40 female-headed HHs and these two subprojects had none ethnic minorities HHs. They

received a specific allowance equivalent to 2.000.000 VND/AH.

79. For households losing of asset and land, the remaining land is enough to produce, there is not

much difficulty. Resettled HHs has disruption due to housing rebuilding. However, LIC found, the

remaining land area is combined with project allowances, their livelihoods are restored.

80. It can be seen that, some findings related to livelihood restoration of subproject presents

following paragraphs:

Son La - Hiep Hoa subproject: Households received allowances for r livelihoods

restoration. In this sub-project, there were some households losing more than 10% of

productive land. However LIC found, their livelihood restored. The infrastructure works

in the resettlement sites completed and handed over to the household here. Currently,

only case of Mr. Tran Thanh Tung still lives under operated transmission lines, and has

not built new house in resettlement sites. Phu Tho town PC coordinated with

stakehoders settle this case.

Hiep Hoa 500kV Substation subproject: completed payment of additional alowance for

200 seriously affected households losing more than 10% of total gricultural land in the

end of 2013. The surrounding fence of station made difficulties for sewerage. Thus,

stakeholder should study to construct a pumping station to ensure drainage in rainy

season. Besides, the operation of the substation use regular light system at nigh, this

attracts worms, butterflies and affects agricultural production. NPPMB should consider

to solve this situation.

220kV Thanh Hoa - Vinh T / L: Completed compensation and assistance payment for

households in 10 districts / cities in 2 provinces of Thanh Hoa and Nghe An.

220kV Tuyen Quang substation: Completed compensation and assistance payment,

especially severely AHs and 04 resettled AHs (issued LURC for resettlement plots)

based on DMS result. Both husband and wife were named in LURC. Besides, some

HH felt unhapply for temporarily affected land used by the contractors, because the

contractor used land without their acceptance ( they provided compensation payment

for affected asset on land).

500kV Son La - Nho Quan – Hoa Binh T/L : Completed compensation and assistance

payment.

Hai Duong 220kV station: Completed compensation and assistance payment

220kV Bim Son: Completed compensation and assistance payment (including 2 HHs

of Nguyen Thi Nhuong and Le Thi Voi). The contractors handled land spill out some

land in the construction time.

220kV Kim Dong: Completed compensation and assistance payment

220kV Thuong Tin - Kim Dong: Completed compensation and assistance payment. AT

this moment, only 5 households in Tari villafe, Le Loi commune, Thuong Tin District

requires land for land. LFDC has coordainted with stakeholders to soon settle.

81. The full package of compensation resulted in all interviewed households being able to live

better condition than previous. The AHs received compensation for the structures and no deductions

were made for the value of the salvageable material from their former houses. It was noted that new

houses built were larger and of better quality than their original houses. For Son La – Hoa Binh –

NhoQuan T/L, Son La – Hiep Hoa T/L and 4 HHs of subproject Tuyen Quang 220 kV substation,


Page 31

some of the affected houses have been relocated onto remaining land owned by the affect

households. Therefore, compensation provided to AHs appears to be satisfactory. With the

compensation received, AHs were able to buy an equivalent plot of land in a RS or at an individual

site in the same vicinity. They were also able to build a larger house and of better quality.

Box 3: opinion by local citizens in project area

‘In Tien village Thung Nai commune, many affected HHs converted land use purpose from farm land

to residential land. Districts must be adjusted annual price fluctuations. The Red Book is done in

parallel with to compensation payment for land and new house construction.’ (Dinh Van Thanh, CPC chairmen Binh Thanh Commune, Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province)

"You can see, most households which have been relocated have relocated onto remaining land.

Relocated houses were reconstructed on the AH’ land owned by themselves and they were safe and

far away the transmission lines.Where AHs were relocated off their own property, they were able to

use compensation money to purchase land in the immediate vicinity of their original house, and to

build a new house’’. (Vu Dinh Viet, Chairman of DRC and Vice Chairman CPD of Cao Phong

district, Hoa Binh province.)

((Source: Socio-economic survey by LIC, August, 2014)

82. In summary, most HHs were satisfied with the project compensation and assistance. Self-

relocated HHs did reconstruct their houses, which were mostly better than their old one. There was

no enterprise/trading HH affected by the project. Vulnerable groups were able to access job creation

opportunities via project compensation and assistance.

83. Issuanceof Land Use right Certificate (LURC), which serves as ownership document for the

new plot of land, in a resettlement site or for individual plot, has not been provided to all relocated HH

due to slow process. Currently, only 8 RS completed issuance of LURC.

84. For the issuance of LURC of resettled households in resettlement sites, as LIC knows that

Department of Natural Resources and Environment of District (or LFDC) is repsonsible for issurance of

LURC. However, the procedures for change of land use purpose local needs appraisal, thus, this leads

to extended time. In addition, some resettled households said that they do not need to use LURC due

to in the process of life restoration, so, the time of LURC issurance may take longer than they

expected. Currently, local government has mobilized quickly households to soon complete the

procedure to LURC issurance, to ensure their entitlement.

4.4. Public, participation, consultation and Grievance resolution

4.4.1. Public Consultation, Disclosure, and Participation

85. The main objectives of information disclosure, stakeholders participation and consultation with

APs aim: (i) provide AHs project information, both project components and operation; (Ii) collect

information on the needs and desire of AHs and affected communities, their views to project policies

and activities; (iii) mobilize the cooperation and participation of AHs in the proposed activities related to

the preparation and implementation of RP; (iv) ensure AHs can participate and express their direct

opinions to income and life restoration; and (v) ensure transparency in the process of land acquisition,

relocation and life restoration.

93. The information disclosure has been made for all AHs. AHs understand fully about the

implementation project as well as the grivance mechanism, compensation and allowance of the

project. However, the implementation of information disclosure is not uniform and frequently, because,

project areas goes through many provinces/districts/communes. Mostly commune staffs are part-time

workers ... Overall, the project gets effectiveness to provide the information to AHs.

94. The consultation results present that, the meeting was held for AHs. In addition, the project

information is combined into community meetings, village meetings. The meeting time is flexible and

they are usually in the evening to ensure the participation of AHs. Participants in community meeting

included both men and women. These meetings often held in house of the village heads or community

house. LIC reliazed that, all AHs fully informed about the project and the project's impact

95. At the project area where ethnic minorities live, in addition to arrangement of suitable meeting


Page 33

time, the use of language is also particularly considered. In the fact, LIC reliazes that mostly ethnic

minorities in the project areas can understand and speak Kinh language. The project areas have also

implemented many projects/program so they know fully about project cycle. In addition, selling of

agricultural products also helps to reduce the gap of language of EMs group in the project area.

Therefore, Kinh language is used in community meetings (only a small number of elderly people, the

use of Kinh language is limited - such as project staff used local interpreters to consult with them .

96. In addition, project information is often consulted on compensation and resettlement regulation

according to the current regulations of Vietnam. Very few people can understand ADB policy. Local

AHs only care about the money and where are their resettlement plots?

97. AHs also involved in DMS and they signed in the inventory minutes of the project. However,

the inventory records can present a part of affected asset, not clarify that households belonging to

which groups (vulnerable households, resettled households ...). Thus, LIC met some difficulties to

check allowance accordingly project RPF.

4.4.2. Grievance Resolution

86. During the consultation process, project staff informed grivance mechanism for affected

households. Besides, during the DMS, to avoid complaints, public disclosure was made at the office of

CPC. Since then, complaints will be collected and processed, resolved in the meeting. These

complaints often involve to the lack of inventored assets and additional requirements. Mostly these

complaints settled.

87. According to the regulation of the Law on Complaints in 2011, and Decision No 75 on the

implementation of the Law on Complaints, all complaint must be recorded to solve. The settlement

results must be publicly posted at the CPC’s office Howeve, mostly sub-projects are not carried out this

process, working with District Compensation Board of the Project presents that the implementation of

this issue is not good. Besides, NPPMB did not consider this issue, thus, LIC met difficulties to

synthese the complainants.

88. Some problems during the compensation, resettlement and site clearance of the sub-projects

are as follows: (i) provision of allowance for 83 vulnerable households in Hiep Hoa substation, (ii)

compensation for small and not viable remaining land area affected by Thuong Tin-Kim Dong

transmission line, (iii) disagreement of 16 AHs on low compensation price for land in Nghi Loc district,

Nghe An province and Nong Cong district, Thanh Hoa province under Thanh Hoa-Vinh transmission

line, (iv) complaint of Mr. Tran Thanh Tung about compensation price and relocation in Phu Tho town

under Son La-Hiep Hoa transmission line, and (v) issuance of LURC for relocated HHs. At time of this

mission, all above pending issues have been resolved by responsible agencies, except issuance of

LURC:

83 vulnerable AHs have been provided allowance by cash equal to 30kg of rice per person per month

for 6 months for all members of the HHs.

In Thuong district, Ha Noi PC has approved compensation plan for the small and infeasible remaining

land area, payment for AHs has been done.

Nghe An and Thanh Hoa provinces have recruited independent appraisers to evaluate the market land

price and paid compensation for the complainants according to the market price.

NPPMB agreed to pay 100% compensation amount for Mr. Tran Thanh Tung’s affected house (not 50% as proposed). He agreed but still asking allocation of 3 plots in resettlement site for his household

whereas he is eligible for one plot of 400m2 only. Currently, he is building a new house in the

resettlement site.


Page 34

Box 4: Feedback of people on grievance redress

"We sent our complaints to the commune. The commune endorsed and relayed to the project about our case. We

waited for about 30 days, before we received feedback from the Project on the assistance policy for our family. We

agreed with the compensation rate and handed over the site to the construction unit” (Tran Van Lam, Tung Lam

commune, Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa Province).

"Out family mostly doing agriculture. Now the land is acquired, we afraid that the farming is not enough. We want

land-for-land compensation to ensure the production. However, the project informs us that due to the local land

fund is not available so they cannot arrange land-for-land compensation. Also other agencies and organizations

visited us to talk to us about that. After sometime we agree because we think we should let go some of the benefits

to contribute to the work of the country” (Nguyen Van Thu, Dien Chau district, Nghe An Province).

"We ready to move, however we should have 3 resettlement lots, since our children got married still living with us,

so we need more land for them. Regarding affected land and assets, we want to be compensated properly

according to the law. We sent our letter to Provincial Peoples Committee of Phu Tho for consideration.” (Tran

Thanh Tung, Phu Thu town, Phu Tho Province).

(Phu Tho Province, Phu Tho Town)

Mr. Tran Thanh Tung refused compensation

and didn’t hand over his land to the project. He is still living under the transmission line.

According to legal documents, Mr. Tung is

living on forest land. He considers that he is

living stably and wants to be compensated

as for residential land. Compensation for

forest land is 35,000 VND/m2, while

compensation for residential land in RS is

70,000/m2. He required 3 plots of land free

in the RS. NPPMB/DCRB proposed to

provide free one plot of land in the RS of

400 m2 but he refused. AH have usually to

buy the plot of land. He lodged a complaint

to the Phu Tho Town Court which was

dismissed. He is living under the operated

line since 1 year.

In April, 2013 he lodged a complaint to the

Province Court which was also rejected.

4.5. Effectiveness of resettlement planning

4.5.1. Resettlement Objects

According to the Consultant’s assessment, agencies responsible for preparation of RP / DDR (VICA,

CEFACOM) conducted the resettlement plan rather than the actual situation. According to RP / DDR

and actual situation, there are 9309/9409 AHs for the project. In addition, resettled HH determined in

the first phase, this helps to prepare the capital, resettlement sites as well as implementation plan to

better support these AHs.

89. Subproject Son La-Hoa Binh- Nho Quan 500 kV transmission lines showed were that for this

transmission line resettlement activities have been well implemented. The seriously AHs are also

discussed and advised for their resettlement from NPPMB and DCRB. The AHs received

compensation for the structures and no deductions were made for the value of the salvageable

materials from their original house. It was noted that new houses built were larger and of better

quality than their original houses. DCRB also provided specific allowance to relocated HH to drill

wells. For Son La – Hoa Binh –Nho Quan TL, some of the affected houses have been relocated onto

remaining land owned by the AH. Compensation provided to AHs appears to be satisfactory. With

the compensation received, AHs were able to buy an equivalent plot of land in a RS or at an

individual site in the same vicinity. They were also able to build a larger house and of better quality.

Therefore, basically, in the subproject 500 KV Son La - Hoa Binh - Nho Quan, the social safeguard

requirements of the ADB have been well complied with. The construction component of subproject

was completed and the line put in use in December of 2010. The transmission line was fully

energized in November 2010 and has been evacuating power from Son La hydropower since

December 2010.

Box 5: Opinion on compensation for AHs in project area

‘‘In the past, I lived with my parent. When our residential land was affected, our family was compensated with some money and a piece of resettlement land. We were then supported to buy land to build a new house, so now I have a

new one. Now my wife and I only do business. I think we're very lucky’’ (Bui Van Tien, Tan village, Phuc Lai

commune, Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh province).

“I received VND 600 million, (70% value of compensation) in May /2012. I used the money to buy my father's land. He half sold but also half gave me for free, so I had land to build a new house. I also received the remaining compensation amount. Although I have used all amount of compensation for house, but a new building is large and beautiful like this, we're glad to investment in this beautiful home” (Hoang Thi Duc, village 13, Kim Phu


Page 39

commune, Yen Son district, Tuyen Quang province)


90. Interviewed AHs confirmed that they were very happy, because the compensation provided

by the District/Project as well as the infrastructure provided allowed them to improve their living

conditions. Examples include that where two households lived in one house (parents and a son and

his family) both the parents and the son and his family were provided with land and compensated

and after that they can build two houses and operated live. The result is that for them, the post

project condition is better than the pre-project condition.

91. It is considered by LIC that the entitlements of AHs as well as relocated HHs were all

secured when they did receive compensation for their lost assets and assistances. Vulnerable

groups were identified and paid with assistance in accordance with decisions approving

compensation plans.

92. At the time of evaluation, in some cases, AHs who have stable incomes from some

employments, such as: staff, employee… can well settle down in their new accommodation. These AHs usually are civil servants for state offices, or working as permanent staff for private sectors. In

general, these AHs settled down well in their new accommodations, and did not complain much.

They also get used to the life in RS.

Gender and Ethnic Minority Issues

93. Monitoring results presents that stakeholders consultation and HHs interviews discussions

revealed that local women, generally are treated in an equitable way with males. Females/ ethnic

minority HHs are invited and actively participate in different social, economic events, meetings,

agricultural extensions, etc held in the communes. In the preparation of RP and DDR, women

attended in detailed measurement survey, community consultation meetings. This is to ensure that

all information and opinions can be collected and that they include the women’s perspectives. Women also presented when compensation payments are made to ensure that any decisions

regarding use of compensation monies will be open to decisions made by husband and wife. Sex-

disaggregated data was collected in the socio-economic survey and inventory of loss.

94. Regardless of fairly good status of women observed in the affected communes, to ensure

gender equity, the following points has been implemented to obey the gender strategy for the

subproject:

Ensure registration of land-use rights in the names of both husband and wife in instances

where households are allocated alternative agriculture and/or residential land.

Husband and wife attended to receive compensation payment from RC and local PPMU

95. Monitoring results didn’t find inequality in land holdings nor reasonable differences of subproject impacts between male and female.

96. Besides, the contractors hired female in subproject area for simple works at site, in which

woman also participated in odd-jobs in construction time (cooks for worker, auxiliary workers)

97. Son La has different ethnic groups live in the region, where the most populous ethnics

include Thai and Muong minorities, other named ethnic groups including Hmong and Dao. During

process of technical design, preparation of RP different measures and many efforts were taken by

NPPMB and its consultant, in conjunction with local authorities and concerned agencies, to minimize

land acquisition and resettlement impacts on the local population. The measures taken included

selection of route or alignment that crosses the residential, historical and preserved areas.


Page 40

98. There is no specific ethnic minority development plan prepared for Son La, Hoa Binh

province. In the fact, action plans applied for EM were mentioned and mixed in RP to ensure the

entitlement of EM.

99. Relating ethnic minority issues, there is notEM in 3 subprojects of 500 KV Hiep Hoa

substation, Kim Dong substation and Thuong Tin- Kim Dong T/L, except 500kv Son La- Hiep Hoa

hasEM (in Son La province)

100. During process of technical design, preparation of RP different measures and many efforts

were taken by NPPMB and its consultant, in conjunction with local authorities and concerned

agencies, to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts on the local population. The

measures taken included selection of route or alignment that crosses the residential, historical and

preserved areas.

101. There is not specific ethnic minority development plan prepared for Son La. In the fact,

action plans applied for EM mentioned and mixed in RP to ensure the entitlement of EM.

4.5.2. Executing Agency and Implementation Agency and RP implementation progress

102. Ministries, Departments: MOF, MONRE, MPI coordainted to provide guidance as required

laws.

103. Implementing Agency - NPPMB:

NPMB has strengthened implementation ability to and coordination for resettlement

activities through training courses by the project before proceeding. Project

Preparation Technical Assitance (PPTA) organized training courses for NPPMB,

training in combination with job performance.

NPPMB established Department of Environment and Society, specialized staff

qualified will monitor and implement resettlement, compensation activities, closely

coordinate with the project districts, the Council of Compensation and Resettlement

(CARB); and guide and support the districts/ communes. NPPMB are responsible for

preparing and implementing the RPs. NPPMB appoint at least 3 staff with social

science qualification and / or working experience in social safeguard to working with

CARB. If there is disagreement between CARB and NPPMB staff, NPPMB and

EVNNPT will participate to solve the problem if any.

However, during implementation of the project, due to overload work, the project

area extends on many provinces/districts and the number of staffs of Compensation

department under NPPMB is limited (26 people - Annex 5) and they are responsible

for many projects. Thus, complaints have not yet recorded fully. In general, NPPMB

solved arising problems during the project implementation.

104. People’s Committee at province/district level

PPC: direct departments or authorize the DPC to solve the problems in project

implementation.

District PC: as direct agency repsonsible for inventory, arrangement of resettlement

sites and livelihood restoration programme for AHs through CARBs. These CARBs

support PC at all level to implement compensation, allowance and resettlement.

Chairman of DPC is head of CARB of District and representative from Finance,

client, department of natural resoures and environment, CPC, AHs and other people.

In coordination with NPPMB, CARB set up compensation cycle for AHs: (i) inform

payment work plan for AHs at least 2 weeks; (ii) prepare the list of AHs and the

entitlement and compensation amounts for AHs; (iii) prepare 03 copies of


Page 41

compensation document (for AH, PPC and NPPMB); prepare and update the list of

AHs, including payment date and data. However, the munite of comaplants have not

yet recored fully.

CPC: as direct agency to coordinate with local people and CARB to implement

project. Basically, the CPC has completed the task.

105. RP and DDR preparation consultants : VICA and CEFACOM are agencies to prepare RP and

DDR for L2225 subprojects. Basically, these agencies have completed accordingly required TOR.

106. LIC: carry out basic survey and submit progress report once/6 months and give out

recommendations related to certificated issues after 6-12 months of resettlement activities

107. Project monitoring consultant: this is one loan project, thus, mobilize monitoring consultant and

improve capacity to ensure effectiveness of land acquisition. Monitoring consultants include a

international expert (working for a short time ) and a national expert (working for overall project)

108. In general, agencies implemented well proposed objectives. However, the enhance of capacity

is limited: only used for IEE preparation without resettlement.

4.5.3. Time frame and budget arrangements

109. As workplan and budget are sufficient to meet the objectives of this project. Based on the

approved RP, NPMB registried the capital plan for the implementation of compensation. The cost of

compensation is from the counterpart funds of National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT).

110. Every year, based on recommendations of agencies, EVNNPT assess and assign the capital

plan for the unit members including full cost of compensation and site clearance for each sub project.

111. National Power Transmission Corporation uses annual, quarterly, monthly capital to prepare

the budget to meet the timely compensation implementation. When CARB has approval decision,

NPMB will report to EVNNPT to issue the cost for compensation payment.

5. LESSONS LEARNT

112. All subproject provinces have put a lot of efforts on undertaking compensation, site

clearance and all accomplishments have been analyzed above. DCRCs are very experienced in

compensation and resettlement in line with Government’s policy, if training on ADB’s policy is given, it is sure that they can handle it well too.

113. NPPMB is coping with a great deal of obstacles during the implementation of compensation

and resettlement which is attributable to the deficiency in fulfilling its responsibility in the project

activities at both provincial and district levels. The subprojects were carried out in significantly large

area which spreads through many remote areas; its staffing for compensation is insufficient which is

exacerbated by its plurality to lots of different subprojects so NPPMB has to hire consulting units for

compensation and assistance, it is the result why the quality management of these units leaves

much to be desired.

114. Information disclosure on Vietnam’s resettlement policy at local level has been carried out

relatively well; however, ADB’s compensation policy for this project has been yet made known to the

district level and especially AHs and other stakeholders at district level.

115. Compensation staff at the sample districts have not yet been trained on the ADB’s policy for compensation and resettlement under which NPPMB should pursue a plan to improve this issues;


Page 42

116. The information of Project policy and grievances mechanism has not been fully disclosed to

the APs.People also said that there is a need to inform them the complaint process before payment

of compensation amounts.

117. In order to facilitate women’s involvement in the project implementation process, LIC recommend that the requirements on gender which set out in the Resettlement Plan should be fully

complied with.

118. NPPMB has not provided enough guidance and/or supervision at all stages of the ADB’s resettlement process, as well as there is an absence of external independent monitoring and

evaluation of either activities or outcomes.

119. From starting every project, NPPMB and stakeholders should be together introduction of

livelihood programs on seriously affected HHs and vulnerable groups in project regions.

5.1. Monitoring and Evaluation

120. For external monitoring, at the time of assessment, NPPMB has not hired any agency (or

individual consultant) to carry out independent monitoring assignment; therefore, no independent

monitoring and evaluation report is available to submit to stakeholders on the implementation of RP

and compensation payment for AHs.

6. CONCLUSIONS, LESSONS LEARNT

121. All subproject provinces have put a lot of efforts on undertaking compensation, site

clearance and all accomplishments have been analyzed above. DCRCs are very experienced in

compensation and resettlement in line with Government’s policy, if training on ADB’s policy is given, it is sure that they can handle it well too.

122. NPPMB is coping with a great deal of obstacles during the implementation of compensation

and resettlement which is attributable to the deficiency in fulfilling its responsibility in the project

activities at both provincial and district levels. The subprojects were carried out in significantly large

area which spreads through many remote areas; its staffing for compensation is insufficient which is

exacerbated by its plurality to lots of different subprojects so NPPMB has to hire consulting units

forcompensation and assistance, it is the result why the quality management of these units leaves

much to be desired.

123. Information disclosure on Vietnam’s resettlement policy at local level has carried out rather well; however, ADB’s compensation policy for this project has been yet made known to the district

level and especially AHs and other stakeholders at district level.

1. As being mentioned above, all surveyed districts comply with the policies of GoV related to

land acquisition, compensation, assistance and resettlement. The key laws, Decrees, Circulars all

the districts applied to 4 subprojects are as below.

Land Law 13/2003/QH11.

Decree 197/2004/ND-CP dated 3 December 2004, on compensation, assistance and

resettlement when the land is recovered by the State, as amended by Decree 17/2006/ND-

CP.

Decree 188/2004/ND-CP and 123/2007, specifying the methods for land pricing and land

price framework in the event of land recovery by the State.

Decree 84/2007/ND-CP, dated May 25, 2007 supplementary stipulations on issue of land

acquisition, land use right, procedure of compensation, assistance in the event of land

recovery by the state and grievance redress.

Circular 116/2004/TT-BTC, December 7, 2004 guiding the implementation of Decree 197.

Circular 116/2004 TT-BTC setting out in detail the types of compensation for different types

of users and losses; assistance policies; provisions for individual and group resettlement;

and the roles and responsibilities for the implementation of resettlement projects.

Circular 114/2004/TT-BTC elaborating the methods (direct comparison and income methods)

for determining land prices.

Decree No. 69/2009/NĐ-CP issued by Government dated 13/08/2009 supplementary

stipulations on land use right, land price, land acquisition, compensation, allowance and

resettlement.

2. All surveyed districts comply with national policies on compensation, assistance and

resettlement as set forth in Land Law 2003, Decree 197/2004, Decree 84/2007, Circular 114/2004;

Circular 116/2004, Decree No. 69/2009/NĐ-CP etc, and decisions of the provinces on

compensation, assistance and resettlement. No district applied project’s RPF, consequently, DMSs and compensation plans were in conformity with legal requirements on compensation and

resettlement policies of the Viet Nam Government.

3. The differences between the Project’s RPF and the actual implementation are (i) compensation and other payments have been calculated and paid in accordance with the project

provinces’ regulations rather than at market prices as being requested in RPF (in our experience, the

replacement price is usually higher than the prices as the one being issued by the Project PPCs); (ii)

eligibility for compensation and assistance (legal basis); (iii) special assistance to the vulnerable

groups, female headed household etc). The main gaps between the implemented entitlement by the

districts and the ADB policies are shown in Table 4below.

be equally entitled to participation in

consultations and subproject benefit schemes

where possible, and be compensated for their

lost non-land assets such as dwellings and

structures occupied before cut-off date. They will

be entitled to resettlement assistance and other

compensation and social support to assist them

to improve or at least restore their pre-subproject

living standards and income levels.

Compensation

for lost land

Article 9, Decree 197: The compensation

rates for land shall be determined by the

PPC in accordance with the Government

regulations for the type of land which has

been used for at the time of land acquisition.

Decree 69, Art 11, Art 16, Compensation is

land for same-use land or if not available the

DP can be compensated in cash based upon

the market transfer price of such land at the

time of the decision to acquire.

Compensation limited to the allowable land

quota, unless land over limit due to

inheritance or legally transferred from other

persons, or unused land developed

according to the land use plan approved by

the authorities. If not, compensation only for

improvements on that land.

Where appropriate land-based compensation is

not viable, replacement cost surveys will be

carried out by the subproject staff to ensure that

subproject rates for all categories of loss will be

equivalent to replacement cost at current market

value. This work will be updated at the time of

compensation and will combined with other

assistance and livelihood restoration measures

to ensure full restoration and improvements.

Provided DP has legal or recognizable claim,

compensation will be for full amount of land

acquired.

Based on the ADB SPS 2009 land-for-land

compensation strategy is mandatory in the case

of involuntary resettlement impact on Ethnic

Minorities.

Differences

between

compensation

rates and

market rates

Dec 69 Art 14(2): If compensation is through

new land or allocation of land at a

resettlement area or by housing and the

replacement is valued at less than the land

acquired, the price difference will be paid in

cash. Dec 69 Art 14(2a) If replacement

residential land or the amount compensated

to purchase a replacement house is more

than the actual replacement cost, the DP still

receives the full amount. Dec 69 Art 14(2b)

if the compensated amount is less than the

replacement residential land and house the

DP will pay the difference themselves except

for cases covered by Art 19(1) – this will not

apply to (poor) DPs who will be assisted by

the State. If the DP does not receive land or

house at the resettlement site the DP will

receive the cash difference.

Physically displaced (relocated) DPs are to

receive relocation assistance, secured tenure to

relocated land, with comparable access to

production and employment opportunities, and

civic infrastructure and community services as

required, transitional support and development

assistance such as land development, credit

facilities, training or employment opportunities.
