consultant of involuntary resettlement, in April 2014), in accordance with procedures acceptable to
ADB for recruiting individual consultants.
III. OBJECTIVES OF POST EVALUATION
25. For the post-evaluation report, IMC has reviewed the activities since the project began to have
an overview, judgment and evaluation o the level of compliance to the safeguards policies of the
donor i.e. ADB and Vietnam. (See Table 5 for the whole monitoring places and timelines).
26. The objective of this survey is to evaluate the project’s compliance with ADB’s safeguard policies by analyzing:
The social-economic conditions of AHs at the baseline and after resettlement and
compensation
Compensation, assistance and resettlement14;
Public consultation, disclosure, participation and grievance resolution;
Effectiveness of resettlement planning;
Lessons learnt for the future.
III.1 MONITORING PROGRESS
27. IMC was contracted to provide independent monitoring service for the two sub-projects of
Bac Ninh 2 – Pho Noi 500kV/220kV transmission line and 500/220kV Pho Noi substation and

sub-project
- Public disclosure and
consultation have been conducted
by NPMB, DARBs/CLFD, relevant
CPCs in a openly and
transparently basis
- Some AHs were not fully aware
of the project information,
Information dissemination was
mainly one way, from the project
to local people/AHs, AHs did not
have many opportunities to
exchange and discuss with the
investor, local competent
agencies
- The information and
compensation policy of the project
were provided mostly verbally
during meetings, many of the AH
did not remember the details so
the community’s understanding about the project’s AH support policy was limited
- The project information and
resettlement issues have been
disseminated to the local
people twice by the NPMB and
the DARBs/CLFD. The first
time was before DMS and the
second time was the
publicizing the compensation
plan was publicized in offices
of the CPCs and communal
houses of the affected villages
- Information was provided to
the AHs through communal
loudspeakers
- The timing for
posting of
compensation
plans/revised
compensation plans
were strictly
followed
- Mostly one-way
communication,
from the project to
AHs
- Project information
disclosure initially
brought good results.
Information was
provided sufficiently but
more from the top down
than bottom up,
nevertheless, two-way
communication has
been maintained

IV. METHODOLOGY
IV.1 METHODOLOGIES APPLIED FOR THIS REPORT
29. Desk review: IMC reviews all legal documents, internal reports on safeguard compliance and
documents relating to compensation, assistance and resettlement i.e. Project Feasibility Study, Loan
Agreement and Facility Administration Manual of Tranche 1 Investment Program (FAM), RPs,
updated RPs and DDR of the two sub projects, Memorandum of Understanding from ADB’s missions (2014, 2015, 2016), ADB’s SPS 2009, ADB’s guideline on resettlement assessment, Land
Law 2003 and Land Law 2013, Decree 69 (guiding Land Law 2013), Decisions of Bac Ninh PPC,
Hung Yen PPC and Hai Duong PPC on prices of land, trees and crops, houses and structures and
other assets for compensation when the State recovers the land; NPMB and LIC’s quarterly reports which are taken as primary information for baseline review, analysis and assessing the related
issues.
30. Questionnaire interview: During the monitoring process, this tool is used as the main channel
of information collecting to assess the resettlement implementation. The questionnaire interview has
been designed for 100% of SAHs, 10% of partly AHs, accordingly 361 AHs have been surveyed.
Table 7 provides more details about the number of questionnaires, the questionnaires have been
input and processed to provide inputs for the final report
31. In-depth interview: IMC conducted in-depth interviews with officials from two selected
DARBs of Tien Du district and Que Vo district and Communal Peoples Committees of Minh Dao in
Tien Du and of Chi Lang in Que Vo district, Bac Ninh province and with Land Fund Development
Center of Van Lam district and Communal Committees of Luong Tai and Viet Hung in Hung Yen
province, Cam Giang district of Hai Duong province to assess the: (i) advantages and disadvantages
during the project implementation; (ii) positive and negative impacts of the project; (iii) resettlement
issues; (iv) the levels of recovery and the stability of AHs after the land recovery and compensation
and assistance process completed. Also, the design of the questionnaire interview provides plenty
rooms for in-depth interview. The interviewers were also encouraged to ask and write down any
further information from the respondents. All the information has been carefully read, noted down
and aggregated by IMC. Appendices 1 and 2 provide lists of questionnaire responders and in-depth
interviewees.
32. Focused group discussion (FGDs): 3 FGDs were held with in the surveyed communes with
the hamlets/villages officials and 3 FGDs representatives of villages. FGDs were designed to clarify
issues that are unable to be made clear by questionnaires (for instance, typical cases, opinions or
recommendations of APs etc.). FGDs are to find advantages and disadvantages and solutions.
Moreover, FGDs focus on AH entitlements, participation, livelihoods restoration, resettlement,
gender, etc.
33. Observation: During the field trip, IMC visited and interviewed AHs to observe their living
conditions and facilities. IMC also observe the construction sites to image how it may interfere in the
daily life of the local people and the potential inconvenience etc.
IV.2 SAMPLING
34. The sampling size is designed with 100% of severely AHs (resettlers, losing more than 10%
of land) and 10% of insignificantly AHs.

35. It was noticed during the past missions and this mission that AHs reside in close proximity to
each other (i.e. in the same hamlets) in all sub-projects, a supporting team and key informants (i.e.
chief of the surveyed hamlets) are engaged to facilitate the interviews. The AHs were interviewed in
a revolving mode.
V. FINDINGS
V.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISPLACED PERSONS
V.1.1. Source of information
36. IMC, with the support of a survey team, has conducted a socio-economic survey to collect
information based on a sampling design of 100% seriously impacted AHs (those who had to resettle
and lost more than 10% of the landholding areas) and 10% of partly affected households, with no
regard to gender or ethnic group. The objective of this survey is to provide information about sub-
projects' AHs to evaluate the impacts of the resettlement/land acquisition and compensation on
different aspects and to make sure that all the proposed entitlements in the Resettlement Plans have
been provided and used as the focal point for designing the restoration program and in resettlement
monitoring process. Information and data after collection was processed and analyzed to identify the
categories of AHs, vulnerable groups to propose the entitlements/assistance appropriate for these
groups.
37. Socio-economic profiles of AH have been reviewed for the people who are living in the
project area and are impacted by the project in terms of land and assets. The information supports
for the evaluation of the i) socio-economic characteristics in the localities as well as the AHs ii) living
standards of AHs; iii) Sources of income of the households; iv) Rate of incomes and the linkage to
poverty; v) Holding of assets.
38. The survey was conducted in November 2016 with the support from NPMB leaders and staff
i.e. Division of Resettlement and Compensation in terms of logistics and inputs. 07 affected
communes of 05 districts had been visited by the team for this reporting period: Tien Du, Que Vo,
Thuan Thanh (Bac Ninh), Van Lam (Hung Yen), Cam Giang (Hai Duong). Total surveyed
households were 361 households, covering 100% SAHs and 10% of partly affected households.

V.1.2. Characteristics of interviewed households
39. Based on the TOR of IMC and at the request of NPMB for post-evaluation report
preparation, a sample design has been drawn, taking into account of the targets of survey, methods
used and type of information and data to be collected. Total 361 AHs had been put together for a
sampling structure, including 25 severely AHs (100% under Bac Ninh 2-PN T/L sub-project) and 37
partly AHs, 296 severely AHs (100% under Pho Noi Substation sub-project) and 43 partly AHs,
(totally 278 severely AHs and 63 partly AHs) of the two sub-projects.
40. Total surveyed people are 1,320,845 of which are men (accounting for 64%) and 475 are
women (accounting for 36%). The average size of an AH is 4.1 person/household. Of the total
surveyed AHs, 222 AHs have 1-4 members in their families, accounting for 68.6%; 102 AHs have 5 -
8 members in their families, accounting for 3.4%, there is no AH with more than 8 members in the
family.

V.1.3. Gender, age and educational level
41. The results of the socio-economic survey showed that of 361 surveyed AHs, there are only
20 women-headed households (accounting for 6.2%).
42. Out of 361 households surveyed, total number of affected people has percentage of men
54% against 46% female. An average size of the affected families is identified as 4.1
persons/household.17
43. Regarding the age structure of APs (all AH’s members),the age groups of the surveyed AHs
are rather young. Percentages of persons under 18 years old, 18-30 and 31-45 are 17.8%, 22.6%,
and 10.6% respectively. Of them, persons over 60 years old account for smallest percent of 12.4%.
Details are as follows:

That the age structure becoming likes this was because of the method of collecting information. It is not the intention of IMC that a survey that similar to a census should be carried out, rather, only those who have land titles, and their family members who are living together under the same roof, eating together and sharing one budget. are the objects of the survey. Sometimes along the survey, some households with members living under the same roof but belong to different families according to their residential register books and don't share incomes and expenses, so those who don't have land acquired by the project were left out from the survey.

44. 208/361 heads of the households have the educational level of secondary school
(accounting for 57.6%), while 55% heads of the households have upper secondary level (accounting
for 15%), 79/361 heads of the households stop at primary schools (accounting for 21.0%). There is
as humble number as 19/361 heads of the households have vocational high
school/college/university degree (accounting for 5.2%).

46. That the age structure becoming likes this was because of the method of collecting
information. It is not the intention of IMC that a survey that similar to a census should be carried out,
rather, only those who have land title, and their family who are living under the same roof and eating
together and sharing one family budget, which were recovered under these sub-projects are the
object of the survey. Sometimes along the survey, some households with members living under the
same roof but belong to different families and don't share incomes and expenses, so those who
don't have land acquired by the project were left out.
47. There is a strong separation of nuclear family from their parents. Young couples, in most of
the cases, registered as an independent family in a residential register book. There are cases which
one old couple has five or six children who are all got married and are keeping separate Residential
Register Book
V.1.4. Income of AHs
48. Based on the data collected from the socio-economic survey, the households can be
identified as belonging to one of four income groups as follows:
Post-Evaluation Report Independent Monitoring Consultant for Resettlement for the Power Transmission Investment Program, Tranche 1, ADB Loan 2848 VIE - 500kV/220kV Bac Ninh 2 – Pho Noi transmission line and 500kV Pho Noi substation
P a g e | 34
49. Poor: This group includes those people who earn incomes that fall below the new
MOLISA poverty line18 (i.e. VND 700,000/person/month). Some of these people have availed of
credit and have managed to purchase livestock, but in general operate with very small cash
incomes over and above subsistence activities, and many are subject to seasonal cash incomes
due to the nature of the agriculture sector. The seasonality of production and/or income would
mean that these people would require a greater degree of support (than families in the
transitional category) to become food sufficient for 12 months per year.
50. Transitional: This group includes those who have moved above the official poverty line
(and earn between VND 701,000 and VND 1,000,000/person/month for rural area) but still
remain vulnerable to shocks and are less able to withstand either natural disasters or economic
trauma than the non-poor. These people have relatively low disposable income and particularly
those between 10% and 15% above the poverty line still have trouble meeting minimum basic
needs. This group is considered to be transitional as they are moving, albeit slowly, out of the
classification of poor into non-poor, they constitute the ‘upwardly mobile poor’.
51. Non-Poor: This group includes households with people who earn between VND
1,001,000 and VND 3,000,000/person/month. This income category captures those that are
non-poor and who have relatively high levels of disposable income. Beside the income from
crops, this group still invests in animal raising (buffalo, pigs, chicken…) to supplement their
income.
52. Better-off: Households in this category include those with members earning more than
VND 3,000,000 /month and are considered to be more than non-poor i.e. they are
comparatively wealthy and have very high levels of disposable income and have savings.
Usually for households in this category farming is not the main source of income, and they have
members who are engaged in salaried work, and small business or trade.

53. Of all the surveyed AH, 15.5% pass the primary level, 56.7% stop at lower secondary school
and is the highest percent and 19.2% have upper secondary grades and only 7.1% of them went to
higher education grades (vocational high school) while college or university graduated people are
only about 1.5%.
54. Agriculture is the main livelihood of the local people and is the main source of income for the
local people in general and affected households in particular. Data from Table 12 shown that 48.5%
income of AHs are from agricultural production i.e. planting rice, husbandry, fish raising etc.
Business/service takes small account in the income structure of AHs with 5.2%. Other sources of
income i.e. salary based/payroll, handicaps and seasonal laboring accounts for 44.1% of the income
structure overall in which the income from business/services in BN2-PN T/L and PN SS and
Connections are similarly low with 4.5%, 5.5% and 5.6% respectively and income from salary BN2-
PN T/L and PN SS and Connections are similarly rank second with 42.3%, 42.8% AND 47.2%
respectively.

balance in gender structure in group under 1 of income of 46% and 48% of male and female
respectively, it is further noticed during the survey that those who belong to this group often rely on
agriculture production i.e. rice production without auxiliary business/affair/salary/pension etc.
V.1.5. Agricultural activities
57. Mostly the agricultural production activities in the project area fall under one or few of the
following categories: (i) rice and agricultural crops, (ii) livestock, (iii) small services related to
agriculture services i.e. hired seasonal farmers, selling pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, or running rice
husk separator etc. Through the survey result, it is noted that agriculture is the main source of most
of the AHs in particular and local people in general. Agricultural production activities usually
associated with crops such as rice, maize, cassava.
58. Livestock is an important part of agricultural based livelihoods. However, it is noted during
the survey that there is no big-scale livestock production or big animal herd. Most of the livestock
activities are small scaled and for self-subsistence in most of the case. An average of
0.7cows/buffaloes/household is made out of the socio-economic survey. Cattle are kept in styles and
grazed every other day and for pulling and meat provision purpose. Cattle and poultry manure is
piled and composted to use for improving the soil fertility.
59. There is no forest land area in the project area.
V.1.6. Non agricultural activities
60. There are 26 AHs informed that they have non-agricultural services/businesses aside from
agricultural activities. These take part of the income structure include providing basis necessities,
daily living supplies (grocery shops), handicrafts, hair cut, motorbike-bicycle repairing with very
humble income (from VND 1-3 million /month/business) similarly between Bac Ninh and Hung Yen
(Table 14).

V.1.7. Houses and house styles
61. The survey result shows that 67.5% AHs are living in a grade 3 - house, with one story, flat
and cemented roof and tiled floor. The most popular house area is 60-80m2 large on a premise of
200m2, with kitchen and bathroom. 34.8% AHs are living in grade 4-houses with steel/cast sheet roof
and brick floor. Almost all the houses were built since 1980’s with 76.5% of the responses.
62. 51% houses were built between 1960-1999, 42% houses were built during 2000 to before
2013 and 7% were from 2014-2016.
20 As being stated elswhere in the report, there is no AP with monthly income of less than 700,000 VND (poverty line in 2015).

Table 15 Living condition of AHs in two sub-projects (%)
63. The survey result shows that The living condition of AHs in both sub-projects is general good
with 100% AHs use electricity from national grid. 82.8% AHs cook by LPG however, there is only 3%
AHs use electricity for cooking, 22% AHs can access to internet.

64. High percentage of durable goods used by AHs in both sub-projects as being shown in Table
16: 82% of AHs own at least 1 motorcycle and 18% of them own from two monocycles upwards.
81.3% of them using Refrigerator, there is only 0.8% of AHs using a car and it is as low as 3.6% of
them using air conditioner which is very low in view of the hot weather during 9 months (late spring-
summer-early fall) in a year in the Northern of Vietnam.
65. There is almost no AH who should resettle since the recovered area is agricultural
production land area. Most of AHs have been living their whole live in the same house, same area
and also did their parents. In Bac Ninh 2-Pho Noi 500kV/220kV transmission line sub-project, there
is one AH has house recovered and in 500kV PN S/C sub-project 3 AHs have residential land and 1
house on the land recovered. Other than that, no AH’s house is impacted by the two sub-projects.
V.1.8. Access to Infrastructure and Social Services
66. The infrastructure are satisfactory in terms of basic social services i.e. health clinic, transport
road, grid electricity, school.
67. Electricity: all AHs connect with national electricity grid.
68. Water supply: There is no tap water yet, all surveyed AHs said they kept rainwater tank and
drilled well for cooking, drinking and washing.
69. Markets: The sub-project areas have small market places scattering all over which provide
and satisfy basic needs for the local residents. Markets are available daily from early morning to
early afternoon, after that, it is much difficult to buy foods, fruits and meat. Markets are easily
accessed by inter-road systems
70. Schools: All communes surveyed reportedly had nurseries, kindergartens, primary and lower
secondary schools while upper secondary schools are only available at district level. For vocational
schools, students have to live far from their home but it is very convenient for them to travel in view
of the city-peripheral location of the project areas.

V.2 COMPENSATION, ASSISTANCE AND RESETTLEMENT
V.2.1. Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS)
72. 500kV/220kV BN2-PN T/L sub-project: DMS of the sub-project was prepared in December
2013. All DMSs in the four project districts of Bac Ninh province have been completed.
73. DARBs in Bac Ninh province together with the Resettlement Division of NPMB, communal
inventory teams conducted the measurements, preparing DMS results with the participation of the
concerned land owners. After DMS, the results were delivered to the AHs. They checked and then
signed in the DMS lists. The DMSs were directly conducted by: (i) staff from NPMB/compensation
division; (ii) staff of DARBs in Bac Ninh province; (iii) communal staff; (iv) village staff; (v)
representatives of the AHs who participated in the measurement process. After agreeing on the
affected land and crops, all parties signed in the DMSs. This was the basis for preparing
compensation plans for the AHs
74. 500kV PN S/C sub-project: DMS of the sub-project was prepared in June 2014. All DMSs in
the two communes of Luong Tai and Viet Hung in Van Lam district, Hung Yen province have been
completed.
75. Center for Land Fund Development (CLFD) in Hung Yen province together with the
Resettlement Division of NPMB, communal inventory teams conducted the measurements,
preparing DMS results with the participation of the concerned land owners. After DMS, the results
were delivered to the AHs. They checked and then signed in the DMS lists. The DMSs were directly
conducted by (i) staff from NPMB/compensation division; (ii) staff of CLFP in Hung Yen province; (iii)
communal staff; (iv) village staff; (v) representatives of the AHs who participated in the measurement
process. After agreeing on the affected land and crops, all parties signed in the DMSs. This was the
basis for preparing compensation plans for the AHs.

V.2.3. Before and after land acquisition and resettlement comparison
84. The survey results show that there are changes in terms of size of family, income source and
job of AHs. The baseline study shows that the average size of family was around 4.7
persons/household while the figure is 4.1 person/household, also, the rate of income of AHs was
about 80.0% from agriculture while the percentage falls down to 41.9% and 49.2% in BN2-PN TL
subproject and Pho Noi S/S sub-project respectively at the time of the survey. It is assumed that
because of infrastructure development programs as these two sub-projects and the booming of
industrial parks in the region, it is clear that most of the cases, worker’s monthly salary outweighs
incomes from smallholder agricultural production .
85. Through discussion with leaders and people of affected communes during the baseline
survey in April 2014, it was found that before project implementation, local people still worked as
freelancer for private sector. Moreover, income from agriculture is low when the investment for
agriculture increases (increase in the prices of fertilizer, insecticide, plough, working day). At the
time, each kg of rice costs VND 10,000-11,000 (while it is VND 15,000-16,000 at the time of 2016).
In addition, agriculture activities are seasonal and intermittent. AHs do not only gain income from
agriculture but also other sources such as freelance jobs, handicraft, worker and small business,
however agriculture activities account for the extremely high percentile in the income structure of
AHs.
86. There is a trend to move from other income categories to salary based occupations with
36.8% from the baseline survey to 44.1% in November 2016. With the boosting moves toward
industrialization, Hung Yen and Bac Ninh are attracting investors to invest in assembly facilities in
the close proximity with the project area which attract former famers to get new skills and new jobs in
the production facilities/industrial parks, especially young people.

87. There is a sharp downfall of percentiles of agriculture category across both sub-projects with
79.6 (2014) against 51.9 (2016) in Bac Ninh 2 – Pho Noi 500/220kV Transmission line sub-project
and 80.0 (2014) against 49.2 (2016) in Pho Noi 500kV Substation sub-project and connections. On
the contrary, a remarkable increase in salary/wage category after the project across the board with
10.7 in 2014 to 42.3 in 2016 and from 7.6 in 2014 to 42.8 in 2016 in Bac Ninh 2 – Pho Noi
Transmission line sub-project and Pho Noi 500kV Substation sub-project and connections
respectively. The strong trend of industrialization has made a clear impact on the movement of
occupations of APs. Bac Ninh23, Hung Yen24 and Hai Duong25 are among the fast industrialization
provinces in the North with many industrial zones and huge demand of young and skilled workers.
88. The resettlement/compensation/assistance planning in restoring the living conditions should
take account of the changing situation in the area, at this period and in the near future, it is beneficial
for AHs if they can get skill refining/awareness raising opportunities from such restoration programs
as vocational trainings, small credits etc. so that they can feel more at ease to enter into a new
working environment and get better income.
V.2.4. Severely Affected Household
500kV/220kV BN2-PN T/L sub-project
89. According to the RP, severely affected households mean all AHs that lose 10% or more of
total productive land, other assets and/or income sources or lose 10% or more of their total income
sources due to the Project. Accordingly, the results of Detailed Measurement Survey for foundation
show that 370 HHs in total have been affected by the sub-project in 4 districts of Tien Du, Que Vo,
Gia Binh and Thuan Thanh in Bac Ninh province, of which, 25 AHs were losing more than 10% their
agricultural land, and no AH being relocated or resettled, no AH having their houses/structures
affected. Notwithstanding, all of them informed that their incomes are no longer based on only
agricultural activities but also based on other off-farming businesses i.e. self-employed, providing
services, freelancers, pay-roll staff etc. All the AHs under BN2-PN T/L sub-project in Bac Ninh
province received assistance together with the compensation amount.

500kV PN S/C sub-project and connections
90. In Hung Yen province, it was identified in the DMS that there were 164 HHs losing from 10-
30% land area, 83 HHs losing from 30-70% and no HH losing more than 70% of total land holding.
In the connections, there are 6 HHs lost from 10-30% of total land holdings. While assistance
amount for livelihood stabilization is paid directly to the AHs, assistance for vocational education and
training for the severely affected households are transferred to the account of Hung Yen Department
of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to provide training for those AHs who have desires to get
vocational training for doing a new job.
91. 98% of SAHs have the income per month from VND 3 to 5 million. There are 120 SAPs who
are retired State officers coming back their hometown with 100% of them having pension from VND
5-10 million/month and 100% of them graduating from colleges/universities.
92. Table below shows there is only 1 SAH in 500kV/220kV BN2-PN T/L sub-project and 5
SAHs in 500kV PN S/C sub-project and no SAH in the connections expressing the need for
vocational training out of 278 SAHs and 99.3% of them commenting that their families are living with
the same/better conditions as compared to before the project.

V.2.5. Resettlers
93. In Bac Ninh 2 - Pho Noi 500kV/220kV transmission line sub-project, 1 AH has been identified
to be resettled, Mr. Nguyen Duc Quang’s in Van Chung village, Tan Chi commune, Tien Du district,
whose resident land was to be recovered by the sub-project since it lied under the transmission
which subject to limitation of all living activities. Tien Du DARB together with NPMB conducted
consultation with his family and he agreed to move. DMS had been completed and compensation
and assistance funds have been paid. However, he is requested to dismantle the house on land but
at the time of supervision (November 2016), he has moved to other house, but not yet removed the
house on the land.

commune, Van Lam District, Hung Yen province
94. There are 3 households with land locating in the access road to 500kV Pho Noi Substation.
IMC has worked with Luong Tai CPC and CLFD about this issue. It was reported that these houses
were allocated with non-residential land. They are Mr. Do Van Thuc's, Do Van Tha's (they are
brothers), Mr. Nguyen Van Hung. Mr. Do Van Tha has build a one-story brick house on the land
since August 2014, while Mr. Do Van Thuc and Mr. Nguyen Van Hung have their pieces of land
unconstructed (above is a panorama picture of the land and house). Of them, Mr. Nguyen Van
Hung agreed cash-for-land compensation while Mr. Do Van Tha and Mr. Do Van Thuc are
submitting application for land-for-land compensation. Their families asked for replacement land
area. As of the final evaluation time (November 206), Mr. Nguyen Van Thuc’s and Mr. Nguyen Van
Tha’s have been allocated another land in nearby area for rehousing. Before that, in February 2016,
Hung Yen CLFD has sent a request to Hung Yen PPC for approval of land-for-land compensation for
these two households. The request has been approved. CLFD has been preparing the
compensation and assistance plan based on the Hung Yen DONRE’s unit prices for compensation of land recovery in 2016 and NPMB’s cost estimate. As of November 2016, the two households still
stay put and have not yet handed over the site to the project due to the replacement land area has
not yet prepared by CLFD and CPC for housing (i.e. no dredging and no earth filling yet).

V.2.6. Vulnerable households:
95. According to the DMS results, there are 78 affected households that are women headed
HHs26 out of 370 AHs, no poor household and no ethnic minority ones in 04 districts of BN2-PN
500/220kV T/L sub-project. The survey results as of November 2016 of both surveys showed no
poor households in the surveyed villages. i.e. household with income of less than
700,000/head/month in 201627.

96. According to the DMS results, in PN 500kV S/C sub-project, there are 67 affected
households that are women headed HH out of 379 households. it was identified that there are 6 poor
households in the surveyed villages of Sam Khuc and Dong Chung of Viet Hung commune i.e.
household with income of less than VND 700,000 /head/month).
Interviewing Ms. Nguyen Thi Mo, a women-headed AH in Cam Hung village, Cam Giang
district, Hai Duong province:
“My 20-year-old son is working for a relative. He is young and unskilled. He earns about 1.2
million/month by assisting other skilled masonry to build houses. He stops going to school after
lower-secondary school (i.e. grade 9). I am living alone, I grow rice and raise ten chicken. I have
many elderly diseases. My son works far from home, just coming back once every two weeks. I
has been entitled for compensation, assistance from the project, but my most concern is my son
can get more money and be settled. The lady in the neighborhood told me there is some
vocational training from the project, it is free for APs like us, but we don’t know how to have that. Also, my son should have better income so that he can get married and bring up his wife and
children, then I can rest assured about him.”
97. In the project areas, many State subsidized programs and projects i.e.30A, 135 etc. reaching
out to those who are the most vulnerable in the community. AHs have not only receive support from
the project but also are being back-up by the programs and projects for different groups in the
community.
26 It is then commonly confirmed by the Chairmen of the CPCs in the two surveyed areas that the reason for such a high percentage of the households with woman headed that the names were listed in the DMS list are the red-book holders which were issued long time ago i.e. since 2001. So many changes in terms of demographical data since then which IMC has not enough time and resource to go further into it. 27 Confirmed for the survey samples only. 28 Real women-head AHs i.e. the head of the household is a woman and she is living alone or with children/relatives

V.2.7. Income restoration program
98. The assistances payments were made in cash for livelihood improvement and the
occupation changing and job creation in both sub-projects.
99. In general, BN2-PN 500/220kV T/L sub-project has a small impact due to implementation of
transmission line. In Bac Ninh province, accordingly updated DMS, for foundation construction, there
are 25 household losing from 10% to 30% of total land holdings. Notwithstanding, assistance for
livelihood stabilization, occupation change and job creation have been provided in accordance with
the laws and project policy. The amounts were paid together with the compensation payment at a
time. The applications of unit prices are found in compliance with the current regulations, please see
Tables 27 for more details on the amounts paid under compensation, assistance and income
restoration categories of this sub-project.
100. In PN 500kV S/C sub-project, it was identified that PN 500kV S/C sub-project have three
resettlement AH, there are 83 HHs losing more between 30% and 70% and no HH losing more than
70% of total land holding. Notwithstanding, assistance for livelihood stabilization and occupation

101. The assistances payments were made in cash for livelihood improvement and the
occupation changing and job creation in both sub-projects. In general, BN2-PN 500/220kV T/L sub-
project has small impact due to implementation of transmission line. In Bac Ninh province, according
to the updated DMS, for land recovery of foundation construction, there are 25 household losing
from 10% to 30% of total land holdings. Notwithstanding, assistance for livelihood stabilization and
occupation change and job creation have been provided in accordance with the laws and project
policy. The amounts were paid together with the compensation payment at a time. The applications
of unit prices are found in accordance with the current regulations.

102. IMC was informed by Viet Hung commune leaders and local people during the survey that
while assistance amount for livelihood stabilization is paid directly to the AHs, assistance for
vocational education and training for the SAHs are transferred to the account of Hung Yen
Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to provide training for those AHs who have desires
to get vocational training for doing a new job.
103. AHs feel very inconvenient with this set up, since Viet Hung and Luong Tai communes are
about 50km far from the capital city of the province, if someone wants to get training they should pay
more for logistics to get training than the funding for training itself. It was also asked by the Viet
Hung CPC staff and people in the questionnaires and in-depth interviews that if possible, they would
like to receive the assistance in cash so that they can have more specific and practical for vocational
training plans.

105. During the first round consultation, key issues had been discussed with local leaders and
staff in 04 districts of Bac Ninh and representatives of CPCs. Almost all opinions focused on the
following points: (i) compensation unit price should be met with market price; (ii) local government
and organizations supported the project implementation and would coordinate with project
stakeholders to disseminate the project’s information and objectives; (iii) a clear mechanism/requirements with contractors should be available during the construction execution, site
clearance, site reinstatement, assistance for APs during the construction.
106. At the end of May 2014, Consultant conducted the second round consultation (group
discussions with the project affected communities) to continuously disclose information to the APs
and collect comments of APs on different issues related to the compensation and resettlement. The

second round consultation also focused on the topics such as the scope of land acquisition,
entitlements of APs, difficulties of APs and income restoration methods.
107. During the second round consultation, the content of community consultation meetings in
sub-project communes was focused on following points: (i) Almost local people supported the project
as it brought many benefits to the community; (ii) APs requested to be compensated in accordance
with current regulations taking into account different kinds of assistance or allowance; (iii) APs
requested the contractors to execute the construction works during the their leisure time to minimize
the project impacts; (iv) APs would like to have payment for their temporarily affected land area
caused by the contractors.
108. During the implementation period, to the reporting time, the project information and
resettlement issues have been disseminated to the local people twice by the NPMB and the
DARBs/CLFD. The first time was before DMS and the second time when the compensation plan was
publicized in offices of the CPCs and communal houses of the affected villages.
109. During the public posting of the compensation plan, some households in the surveyed
villages had some complaints about the mistakes/errors regarding the inventory and the pricing, staff
of NPMB/Division of Compensation together with the DARBs/CLFD and the CPCs have checked
and revised and then prepared the final payment plan then reposting.
110. The timing for posting the compensation plan in both sub-projects was 20 days (20 days for
the first posting, after revising, another 20 days for reposting the revised plan). These practices in
500kV/220kV BN2-PN T/L sub-project and 500kV PN S/C sub-project were checked with the local
authorities and APs by IMC. They confirmed that the timeline for posting of compensation
plans/revised compensation plans was strictly followed.
111. Besides, the communal authorities also provide the AHs with information through communal
loudspeakers for them to know about the DMS plan, posting of compensation plan and payment
plan. It is noted by the consultant that most of the AHs know clearly about the project information i.e.
project impacts, project scope, DMS, payment of compensation and assistance, construction
projection of the project etc.
112. Aside from the official public disclosure and consultation, it is seen by the IMC that project
information was communicated with the local authorities and citizens in many ways, i.e. DMS when
the measurements were taken with the household’s participation, the publication of compensation plan, and through loudspeakers when the AHs were informed to go to receive compensation and
assistance amount. However, the survey results shown that still there are some certain restrictions,
such as (i) Information dissemination was mainly one way, there are no exchanging of opinions from
the project to people, the AHs did not have many opportunities to exchange and dialogue with the
investor and the local governments (ii) the information and compensation policy of the project were
provided mostly verbally during meetings, many of the AHs did not remember the details so the
community’s understanding about the project’s AH support policy is limited. It was cross-checked
with APs and the staff in charge from NPMB that in 500kV PN S/C sub-project, when AHs come to
receive the compensation money, if they were still confused about the project's policies (i.e.
discrepancies between cost-norms of the two sub-projects applied, he was there to explain very
carefully to them to avoid misunderstanding and unneeded complaints that may arise which were
confirmed by the APs interviewed.
113. According to interview results of the Independent Monitoring Consultant (IMC), 93.2% of
interviewees said they were informed of project information. Some of them were afar at the time of
the information disclosure and consultation activities, but they easily caught up with the information

P a g e | 55
about the project's land acquisition and compensation, etc. from other family members and
neighbors since such information was very concerned about and directly impacted their residence
and livelihoods.
V.3.2. Grievance Resolution
114. Under the sub-projects, grievance redress mechanisms have been established which allow
APs to appeal their problems arising from the compensation/allowance/assistance and to settle any
general project-related disputes.
115. In order to ensure that all APs’ grievances and complaints on any aspect of land acquisition, compensation and resettlement are addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner, and that all
possible avenues are available to APs to air their grievances, a well defined grievance redress
mechanism needs to be established. All APs can send any questions to implementation agencies
about their rights in relation with entitlement of compensation, compensation policy, rates, land
acquisition, resettlement, allowance and income restoration. Otherwise, all APs are not ordered to
pay any fee during the grievance and complaints at any level of trial and court.
116. During consultation processes by NPMB and LIC, representatives of the concerned
DARCs/CLFDs helped informed the grievance mechanisms for the affected households through
different meetings (please refer to Table 16 for the consultation process).
117. Before site clearance, information on the entitlement, project policies, environment impact
possibility of the project, project implementation arrangement, responsibilities of the stakeholders
and grievance redress mechanism etc. were informed to the local people through several
consultation meetings. DMS results were posted at village houses and CPC offices, for 20 days
according to the project policy, depending on each commune, Naturally, AHs were very concerned
about DMS and their entitlement. Information was carefully cross-checked by AHs and
NPMB/DARBs/CLFDs. After check and question-and-correction, the revised DMSs were posted in
public place another 20 days. Table 29 details the questions and complaints about DMS and
entitlement policies. In general, through several supervision missions, by talking to AHs, it was noted
that this step was conducted in compliance with the project policy.

Mr. Nguyen Van Luy, Dong Quan village, Cam Hung commune, Cam Giang district, Hai Duong province. He disagreed with the DMS results, the entitlement for land, crops and trees (which is 25% of the unit price used in DMS), he asked for resettlement because he felt unsafe and worried about his family's health-being living under the high-voltage transmission line. He logged his complaint to the commune level 3 times, after that he submits to the district level in May 2016 and Provincial level in July 2016.
Hai Duong PPC has responded to him about assigning inspectors of Cam Giang district to verify his complaints and follow the case. It was informed by Cam Giang DPC that his case would be discussed during District Peoples Council Meeting in Mid September 2016 and gives him the response after that.

118. Aside from the individual complaints listed above, it was verbally complained by some old
men, not all of them are AHs in Dong Chung village, Viet Hung commune, Van Lam district, Hung
Yen. They were displeased with the way of naming of the works in a very annoying and confusing
manner, for example: Cam Giang bridge, which is a bridge connecting the main road and access
road to Pho Noi Substation, located in Me Dau village, Viet Hung commune while Cam Giang is the
name of other commune in Hai Duong province about 10km far away from the place. Also the name
of the substation raises questions from villagers, because Pho Noi (500kV Substation) is named
after an urban district which is 50km far away from Dong Chung village.
119. There are CPC staff and local people, during the survey, expressed their concerns about the
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) problem as they anticipated that after the circuits are closed, they living
environment might be threaten by the EMF and this might barrier them from development
opportunities.
V.4 EFFECTIVENESS OF RESETTLEMENT PLANNING
V.4.1. Executing Agency and Implementation Agency and RP implementation
120. Under the Power Transmission Investment Program, four resettlement plans (RPs) have
been prepared through extensive consultation with stakeholders. Two of the sub-projects included in
Project 1 are category A for resettlement, namely the (i) 500k/220kV Pho Noi substation and (ii) 220

V.4.2. Time frame and budget arrangements
128. As the work plan and budgets are sufficient in view of the objectives of the project and are
according to the current regulation of Vietnam, based on the approved RP, NPMB registered the
budget plan for the compensation plan on a yearly basis. The compensation/assistance costs are
making out of the counterpart funds of National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT). The
annual budget proposal prepared and submitted by EVNNPT should include all the estimated costs
for compensation and site clearance/preparation.
129. EVNNPT uses the annual budget to prepare the compensation plans. When DARBs approve
the plan with the district level decision, NPMB will report to EVNNPT to disburse the funds.
VI. LESSONS LEARNT FOR THE FUTURE
130. In general, the compensation/assistance of these sub-projects has been good. However, for
smoother project progress of future program, some lessons learn can be drawn as follows:
Project information disclosure should be adequate to make sure that local people understand
about the project and know how to lodge complaint/going through grievance redress
process.
Project Information Book (PIB) for the AHs including all the project information and the
contact information of the persons in charge i.e. NPMB’s and DARBs’ officers are needed according to the donor’s SPS, for the information disclosure and consultation rounds in the sub-project on 500 kV Pho Noi substation, PIB should be made available.

Compensation and resettlement: NPMB works closely with the contractor and keep an
agreements with the contractors to take pledge/penalties to speed up the construction
process and asks the contractor to be more careful/responsible for the damages and
incidents that they may cause (which are sometimes unavoidable) during the construction
i.e. Requesting the contractors to deposit a sum of money to make sure that after
construction, the borrowed surface is returned like before the project.
A restoration program in combination with some on-going social welfare incentives need to
be plan right from the design of the project. Participatory approach is highly recommended
during the designing in this regard.
More community consultation meetings need to be organized to make sure that the project
components and project policies are made known to the local people, especially in DMS,
calculation of compensation/assistance and grievance redress mechanism.
Monitoring during the construction phase should be enhanced to ensure that any negative
impacts on the local people during construction will be measured and compensated in
accordance with the project policies
VII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
VII.1 CONCLUSIONS
VII.1.1. Gaps in the implementation of the compensation plans of the two sub-projects
131. Resettlement and compensation: DMS, compensation and assistance are strictly complied
with Vietnam's procedures and take account of ADB's safeguards policies.
132. However, there are some gaps in the implementation i.e. Communication before, during and
after the resettlement seem to leave much to be desired. Many AHs displeased about the
communication/information disclosure from the project. The information and compensation policy of the
project were provided mostly verbally during meetings, many of the AH did not remember the details so
the community’s understanding about the project’s AH support policy is limited.
133. DMSs in all sub-projects have been completed at different paces, starting from end of 2013
to July 2015. Most of the AHs reportedly witnessed and involved in the DMS and signed in the DMS
records.
134. Most of the affected land is agriculture production land payment plans with payment unit prices
applied according to the updated State regulations. A replacement cost survey has been conducted by
LIC. It was reportedly the unit prices applied is similar. However, AHs found that different unit prices have
been applied i.e. in the same sub-project31 which makes them unhappy.
135. The payment was reported as very convenient for the local people. Both
compensation/assistance and bonuses were calculated and paid at the same time. Due to the payment
were made during harvesting time, the families were busy ripping the rice so only one spouse could go to
get the compensation and assistance amounts and signed in the receipts. The payments were reportedly
correct and exact with the DMS results. As of the monitoring time, all households in the surveyed
communes received their money except 2 HHs in Luong Tai commune of Van Lam district, Hung Yen
province and 2 HHs in Cam Hung commune of Cam Giang district, Hai Duong province.

136. Assistance: While assistance amount for livelihood stabilization is paid directly to the AHs,
assistance for vocational education and training for the SAHs are transferred to the account of Provincial
Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (DOLISAs)32 to provide training for those AHs who have
desires to get vocational training for doing a new job. AHs feel very inconvenient with this set up, they
would like to receive the assistance in cash so that they can have more specific and practical for
vocational training plans.
137. Vulnerable AHs: The number of women-headed HHs listed in the URPs were based on the
LURC's holder which mean a female name on the red-book in most of the cases, the women are
living with husband and children/parents/relatives. In such the cases, these AHs do not belong to
women-headed HH category . Survey results show very small number of real women-headed HHs.
There are no poor AHs reported in IMC's survey in the two sub-projects according to 2015 poverty-
line of Vietnam.
138. Severely Affected Households (SAHs) and resettlers: Most of SAHs reported that their
living standards in general seem better than before the project and that they are in to many off-
farming businesses for income aside from farming and husbandry.
139. Resettlers: 1 AH in Bac Ninh2-Pho Noi T/L sub-project and 3 AHs in 500kV Pho Noi S/S
sub-projects having residential land affected. 1 HH in Bac Ninh2-Pho Noi T/L sub-project and 1 AH
in 500kV Pho Noi S/S sub-project accepted cash-for-land compensation. 2AHs in 500kV Pho Noi
S/S sub-project accepted land-for-land compensation. They are waiting for site preparation of one
resettlement site.
140. Grievances: The coordination between competent agencies to address the complaint seems
to be effective. The cases are satisfactorily resolved.
VII.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
141. There seems to have a need to re-evaluation of vulnerable AHs under these two sub-
projects taking into account of their actual status and needs to have assistance by the project, that is
in accordance with the project policy.
142. Project is to consider the request of Viet Hung commune on transfer money for assistance
for vocational training for SAHs back to each AHs so that can joint in the training courses of their
choice with more affordable costs.
143. Vocational training programs for the AHs should be tackling, as being observed by IMC, they
keen on jobs which need immediate skills (masonry, tailoring etc.). The project communes are
recommended to help put together the list of vocational training needs to submit to the Provincial
Departments of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to consider.

ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement
The ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement aims to avoid or minimize the impacts on people affected by a project, and to provide support and assistance for those who lose their land and
property, as well as for others whose livelihood is affected by the acquisition of land or temporary
construction activities. Resettlement planning has the objectives of providing APs with a standard of
living equal to, if not better than, that which they had before the project.
The three (3) important elements of the policy are (i) compensation for lost assets, livelihood and
income; (ii) assistance for relocation; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation, to achieve at least the pre-
project level of well-being.
The Operations Manual Section F2/BP notes that the policy treats involuntary resettlement as a
“development opportunity” and allows planners to manage impoverishment risks and turn dispossessed or displaced people into project beneficiaries, particularly the poor and vulnerable,
who may be disproportionately affected by resettlement losses. To this end, the main objectives and
principles of ADB’s policy are as follows:
Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible;
Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring all
viable project options;

P a g e | 94
People unavoidably displaced should be compensated and assisted, so that their
economic and social future would be generally as favorable as it would have been in the
absence of the project;
APs should be informed fully and consulted in resettlement and compensation options;
Existing social and cultural institutions of resettles and their hosts should be supported and
used to the greatest extent possible, and resettles should be integrated economically and
socially into host communities;
The absence of legal title to land by APs will not be a bar to compensation; particular
attention should be paid to households headed by women and other vulnerable groups,
such as indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, and appropriate assistance provided to
help them improve their living standard;
As far as possible, involuntary resettlement should be conceived and executed as part of
the project; and
The full costs of resettlement and compensation should be included in the presentation of
project costs and benefits.
Applied Policies
The basic resettlement principles of the project are:
Involuntary resettlement and loss of land, structures and other assets and incomes will be
avoided or minimized by exploring all viable options.
All APs will be entitled to compensation for all lost and affected assets, incomes and
businesses at replacement cost and provided with rehabilitation measures sufficient to
assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living standards, incomes and
productive capacity.
The APs without legal title to land (non-titled APs) will not be compensated land by land
but they are allowed to use their remained land, which is not affected by the project. In
addition, they are entitled to compensation for their assets on land at replacement cost,
provided they cultivated/occupied the land before the eligibility cut-off date.
Compensation for affected assets will be provided at replacement cost.
In cases where relocation or displacement is required, efforts will be made so that the
existing social and cultural institutions of the people being resettled and host community
will be maintained to the extent possible.
Preparation of resettlement plans (as part of sub-project preparation) and their
implementation will be carried out with participation and consultation of affected persons.
Implementation schedule and budget for resettlement planning (including socio-economic
survey/census) and implementation will be incorporated into each sub-project and the
overall project.
EVN will ensure that civil works contractors are not issued a notice of possession of site for
any section of construction works unless NPMB has (i) satisfactorily completed, in
accordance with the approved relevant resettlement plan for that sub-project,
compensation payment and relocation to new sites, and (ii) ensured that the rehabilitation
assistance is in place and the area required for civil works is free of all encumbrances.
Compensation for vulnerable households including ethnic minorities, female headed-
households, and families with disabled or elderly will be carried out with respect for their

cultural values and specific needs. Appropriate assistance must be provided to help them
improve their socio-economic status.
Harmonization in resettlement policies between GoV and ADB
In general, the Land Law 2003 and Decree No. 197/2004/ND-CP, Decree No. 17/2006/ND-CP,
Decree No. 84/2007/ND-CP and Decree No. 69/2009/ND-CP on amendment of some provisions
guiding implementation of the Land Law 2003 and Decree No. 197/2004/ND-CP, satisfy the most
principles and objectives of the ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement.
However, due to existence of some gaps between policy of Vietnam and ADB, the Government had
approved a Resettlement policy Framework for the MFF. The table below provides summary of
differences between Resettlement Policies of the Government of Vietnam and the Asian
Development Bank and the Policy proposed for the MFF.
