GIZ and FDI Where We StandUpdates from IKM for LMDP
TTM18-Jun-16GIZ recognizes existing dilemma of Large-scale land
acquisitionLarge-scale purchases of land can possibly threaten
rural livelihoods and lead to land conflictsBUT: Large-scale land
acquisition can also offer opportunities to the rural population to
provide jobs and incomeTransparency and participation of the local
population are crucial to ensuring sustainabilityDesign of the
contractual terms and conditions is decisive in determining
opportunities and risks

Updates from IKM for LMDP TTM18-Jun-16
Page #Global Project: Responsible Land Policy Updates from IKM
for LMDP TTM18-Jun-16Outcome: The access to land as a central
precondition for fighting poverty and hunger in rural areas has
improved for certain population groups, especially for women and
marginalized groups, in selected partner countries.The
institutional framework and the procedures for securing land rights
of the rural population are improved.Civil society is actively
participating in the formulation and implementation of a
responsible land policy. Private agricultural investors have been
sensitized for the implementation of a responsible land policy in
the framework of national transparency initiatives. The country
package Laos Enhanced Land Tenure Security (ELts) together with
LMDP will help to achieve these objectives
Page # Investment Monitoring & Planning Why?Updates from IKM
for LMDP TTM18-Jun-16What are the core challenges/issues in our
component?Weak of law enforcement on investments: no employee
contracts, safety at work, account system. no environment
certificates (IEE, ESIA and/or EMP). Measurement to non compliant
investors: so far not clear what to do with non compliant
investors.Conflict between investors and communities: Complains
often are related to environmental, land, employment and health
issues. Factories create dust, noise, smell, smoke & destroy
road. The use of chemical substances effect water and environment.
No regular support/follow up and problem solving in due time from
government to investors & communities.Unclear roles and
responsibilities of line agencies: esp. provinces and districts.
(Overlap of land use by investors).Lack of LUP, data and investment
physical plan for quality investment management.

Quality Investment Promotion: How?Updates from IKM for LMDP
TTM18-Jun-16What is our approach to solve this issue? Capacitate
government counterparts on the following approaches:
Key Challenges/IssuesApproach 1Law enforcement: + Development
tools for monitoring, yearly monitoring, MoU signing, follow up
MoU.2Measurement to non compliant investors+ Warning letters, check
if no change, stop investment activities.
3Conflict between investors and communities+ Development tools
and conduct exchange days btw. investors & communities. Follow
up & further agreement.4Insufficient support from government to
investors, communities.+Discussions on findings with line agencies,
agreement & follow actions.5Unclear roles and responsibilities
of line agencies concerning investment+ Discussions and agreement
on roles and responsibilities.6Lack of LUP, data and investment
physical plan.+Synergy with LUP sectors, data & maps related to
investments. Establish investment strategies & plans.

between investors are solved.Government/counterparts: are
capacitated and better manage quality investment: tools for

Quality Investment Promotion: Why is it
Important?18-Jun-16Quality Investment Promotion is small but
important to be promoted because:QIP supports for greater
protection of resources, contributes to poverty reduction and land
tenure security. QIP supports the implementation of VGGT chapter
12: Investments and chapter 21: Resolution of disputes over tenure
rights.QIP uses products from other components - land use plan and
physical framework for better management of quality investment.QIP
capacitates all levels and stakeholders on quality investment
management government, investors and communities.

Quality Investment Promotion: Achievement So Far Updates from
IKM for LMDP TTM18-Jun-16Which results did we already achieve so
far?109 investment projects are already monitored.Major conflicts
from findings between investors and communities are
solved.Baseline: 20% of this investment projects have a score of
higher than 3 in the rating system.Target: 60% have a score of
higher than 3 at end of LMDP
How could we reduce costs and scale-up our results in the
future?USD per Investment project? USD 150/project (according to
FA)How can we up-scale?
IPD would like to develop a curriculum on investment monitoring
for scaling up. Using tools and approaches in non target districts
and provinces.Share tools with interested development agencies or
approach funding sources e.g. MRLG.
