Detailed Measurement

Survey (DMS)

- With the aid of the approved detailed engineering design, this

activity involves the finalization and/or validation of the results of

the inventory of losses (IOL), severity of impacts, and list of APs

earlier done during RP preparation. The final cost of resettlement

can be determined following completion of the DMS.

Compensation - Means payment in cash or in kind to replace losses of land,

housing, income and other assets caused by the Project. All

compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost..

Cut-off date

-

Means the date of land acquisition announcement made by local

authorities. The APs will be informed of the cut-off date for each

subproject component, and any people or assets that settle in the

subproject area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to

compensation and assistance under the subproject.

Ethnic minority - People with a group status having a social or cultural identity

distinct from that of the dominant or mainstream society.

Entitlement - Refers to a range of measures comprising compensation, income

restoration support, transfer assistance, income substitution,

relocation support, etc. which are due to the APs, depending on

the type and severity of their losses, to restore their economic and

social base.

Host community - Means the community already in residence at a proposed

resettlement or relocation site.

Income restoration - This is the re-establishment of sources of income and livelihood of

the affected households.

residence, commerce, agriculture, including ponds; dwelling units;

stalls and shops; secondary structures, such as fences, tombs,

wells; trees with commercial value; etc.) and sources of income

and livelihood inside the Project area are identified, measured,

their owners identified, their exact location pinpointed, and their

replacement costs calculated. Additionally, the severity of impact

to the affected assets and the severity of impact to the livelihood

and productive capacity of APs will be determined.

Land acquisition - Refers to the process whereby an individual, household, firm or

private institution is compelled by a public agency to alienate all or

part of the land it owns or possesses to the ownership and

possession of that agency for public purposes in return for

compensation at replacement costs.

assets, incomes, employment or sources of living, to supplement

payment of compensation for acquired assets, in order to achieve,

at a minimum, full restoration of living standards and quality of life.

Relocation - This is the physical relocation of an AP from her/his pre-project

place of residence and/or business.

Replacement cost - The amount needed to replace an affected asset net of transaction

costs such as administrative charges, taxes, registration and titling

costs of affected assets based on empirical data.

Resettlement

- This includes all measures taken to mitigate any and all adverse

impacts of a project on AP property and/or livelihoods, including

compensation, relocation (where relevant), and rehabilitation as

needed.

Resettlement Plan (RP) - This is a time-bound action plan with budget setting out

compensation and resettlement strategies, objectives, entitlement,

actions, responsibilities, monitoring and evaluation.

Severely affected

households

- This refers to affected households who will (i) lose 10% or more of

their total productive land and/or assets generating income, and/or

(ii) have to relocate due to the project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Introduction: The RP is prepared for the sub-project “Repairing, upgrading productive rural

infrastructure in Krong Nang district”, DakLak province and based on IOL. Objectives of the

subproject is to prepare, upgrade 4 reservoirs namely “ EaToh Thượng”, 86, EaToh Ha, LocXuan

and 8.3 km roads linking local production areas in subproject areas with the reservoirs. The

subproject is located in PhuLoc and EaToh communes, Krong Nang district, DakLak province.

2. Scope of impacts: 26 households with 123 persons and 1,546 m2 of land will be

permanently affected by the subproject. 100% of this land area is for perennial. No residential land

is acquired. Temporarily acquired land is 19,120 m2. 522 perennial trees belong to 10 categories to

be cut. It is not found any high economic value trees. One AH will be acquired about 2% of total

landholding, others will lose one or less than 1%, see annex 4.

3. Legal and policy framework: The Resettlement and Ethnic Minorities Development

Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based

on policies and laws of Vietnam Government, policies, regulations of the DakLak Province and

regulations and principles of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement

(SPS) 2009 on Involuntary Resettlement (IR) and Indigenous People (IP). The overall objective of

these policies is to ensure that all people, including ethnic people affected by the PRISP’s

subprojects are able to improve or at least restore their living standards to pre-Project levels and

ethnic people (i) receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits, (ii) do not suffer

adverse impacts as a result of project, and (iii) can participate actively in project that affect them.

4. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM): In order to ensure grievances and complaints of

all affected persons (AP) 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 the implementation agencies about their rights in relation with

entitlement of compensation, compensation policy, rates, land acquisition, resettlement, allowance

and income restoration. Furthermore, APs will not be ordered to pay any fee during the grievance

and complaints at any level of trial and court. Complaints will pass through 3 stages before they

could be elevated to a court of law as a last resort.

5. Disclosure, public consultation and participation: Two public consultation meetings

were taken place, one with local authorities and another with APs in the RP implementation phase.

6. Issues on gender: There are not serious gender issues in the sub-project area. However

an equal participation between men and women in decision-making should be considered during to

sub-project and resettlement activities.

7. Institutional arrangements: The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD),

through its CPMU, will assure coordination for the implementation of the RP. MARD will coordinate

with the Dak Lak Provincial People’s Committee (PPC),instruct the Provincial Department of

Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) and provincial project management unit of Dak Lak

(PPMU Dak Lak) to ensure that the compensation, assistances are administered according to the

provisions of this RP. Land Fund Development Centre (LFDC) under District People’s Committee

(DPC) is the agency to directly implement RP with support from district/commune PC.

8. Implementation schedule: The final RP will be implemented before civil works commence.

All AHs are expected to be paid full compensation by December 2016. Upon completion of RP

implementation, the PPMU will advise CPMU to request ADB for its “No objection” for the award of

civil works and fabrication contract to contractor/s. Indicators for completion of RP implementation

refers to the full payment of compensation and allowances to DPs and no complaint and/or

grievance are left unresolved

9. Monitoring and evaluation: The project belongs to category B with minor impacts

therefore it does not need independent monitoring agency. Internal monitoring for RP

implementation will be done by PPMU and CPMU with support from Loan Implementation

Consultant (LIC). Each six months, LIC will prepare a RP implementation monitoring report. The

report will focus on monitored indicators. CPMU is responsible for reviewing it before sending to

ADB for approval.

10. Total resettlement cost: It estimates the cost including compensation for land, trees and

assistance items, fee for RP implementation agency and 10% contingency. Total is 337,314,000

VND. This cost will be provided by DakLak PPC..

I. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Background

1. The subproject of Repairing, upgrading productive rural infrastructure in Krong Nang

district DakLak province is one of subprojects of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector

Project in the Central Highlands Provinces (PRISP) funded by the Asian Development Bank

(ADB).

2. It is located in two communes as EaToh and PhuLoc, Krong Nang district, DakLak

province, about 10km toward the north of the province and about 60km east-north of Buon Me

Thuot City. The subproject is to (i) improve livelihood and enhance life quality for people in the

subproject area; (ii) promote social-economic development through rural infrastructure

investment; (iii) bring sustainable occupation opportunities for local people and contribute to

sustainable poverty reduction and (iv) contribute newly rural development programs.

B. Subproject’s Civil Works

3. According to the basic design, this subproject will the following specifications:

a) EaToh Thượng reservoir: Its dam will be elevated to 1.3 meters and its surface is

widened to 5m wide to be used as a transport road. In upstream of the dam will be

Subproject area

Page 13: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

covered by concrete pieces M200 while in downstream, it will be planted grass and built

drainage system and some other components

b) Reservoir 86: It is similar to EaToh Thuong, the dam will be elevated 2m and its surface

to be widened to 5m wide to be used as a transport road. In upstream of the dam will be

covered by concrete pieces M200 while in downstream, it will be planted grass and built

drainage system.

c) LocXuan reservoir: It is similar to EaToh Thuong, the dam will be elevated 1.5m and its

surface is 5m wide to be used as a transport road. In upstream of the dam will be

covered by concrete pieces M200 while in downstream, it will be planted grass and built

drainage system. It prepares and upgrades flood overflow by concrete structures. The

overflow then will be used as road too.

d) EaToh Ha reservoir: Earth dam and flood overflow are in good and stable status that

are unnecessary to upgrade and overhaul. Current dam's surface land will be renovated

combining to use as a road with a width B= 5.0m. The flood overflow itself has been

solidified that is stable and does not require repair or upgrading. New downstream

irrigation channels with a length of about 1007 m will be built to ensure needs of

irrigation and drainage.

e) Rural road: Repairs and upgrades 8,384m rural roads with two routes. One is from

PhuLoc to EaHo villages with 4270m long and feeder line of 109,33m. Another route

from LocXuan to HaiLoc villages of PhuLoc commune is 4004m). Using the old route,

the alignment will be adjusted in some sections, concrete pavement width =1.5 1.

C. Measures to Minimize Impacts

4. In order to minimize social impacts to local people when implementing the sub-project,

the following measures have been and will be done. (i) on design, it used the most of existing

alignment; (ii) on construction arrangement, APs will be announced soon on boundary of land

acquisition and land recovery time so that people do not grow trees and crops, avoid crop not

harvested promptly when constructing the sub-project; (iii) For the dam, only use a portion of

land on shoulder of the dam to build worker camps, material warehouses in empty land. (iv) for

upgrading roads, the upgrading is based on the old route, enough space to meet the

construction, so it does not need to use temporary land; (vi) After completing the work,

contractors and subproject owner are responsible for returning back the ground occupied

temporarily. Although it has and will have many mitigation measures as mentioned above, but

the subproject implementation process will still have certain impacts, therefore the need to

establish a RP for the subproject is necessary.

D. Resettlement Plan

5. 26 households with 123 persons will be affected by the sub-project. There will not affect

any ethnic minority households, women-head households with dependents, poor as well as

Page 14: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

3

other vulnerable households, business bases or structures in the subproject area. The

subproject will affect local people both positively and negatively. However, the negative impacts

are insignificant and restorable. This Resettlement Plan is prepared for the subproject based on

the new Land Law 2013 and related decrees, ADB SPS 2009 on involuntary resettlement, the

REMDF and results of IOL, public consultation.

6. Specifically, this RP ensures that the subproject will (i) avoid involuntary resettlement

wherever possible; (ii) minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design

alternatives; (iii) enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons1 in real

terms relative to pre-project levels; and (iv) improve the standards of living of the displaced poor

and other vulnerable groups2.

7. This RP is the guiding document that identifies the key issues to address in reconciling

the requirements of ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policies with national and provincial

government policies. Concerns for involuntary resettlement have been integrated in this

document and will govern further subproject design, implementation, and monitoring. The RP

includes the following:

(i) policy and procedural guidelines for asset acquisition, compensation, resettlement,

and strategies that will help ensure full restoration of the AH’s livelihood and

standard of living;

(ii) identification of HHs and communities to be adversely affected by the subproject,

where they are located, what compensation and related alleviating measures to be

provided to them and how and when these measures will be carried out;

(iii) a plan on how AHs will be involved in the various stages of the subproject,

including resolution of grievances; and

(iv) an estimate budget for RP implementation.

8. The RP has been prepared on the subproject’s basic design. The basic design is

required for the preparation of the subproject’s feasibility study which is to be approved by

MARD and the PPC of DakLak Province. The summary of the RP is to be included in the

feasibility study to ensure the allocation of government counterpart funds for the subproject’s

implementation. The RP may need to be updated during subproject implementation following

the completion of the detailed design and the detailed measurement survey (DMS) if there is a

significant change in scope of impacts. Commencement of civil works will be conditional to the

completion of payments of compensation and allowances as confirmed by the LIC.

1In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas

II. PROJECT IMPACTS

A. Survey Process

9. A resettlement survey was conducted in the communes affected by the subproject based

on the subproject’s basic design. The survey comprised of an inventory of loss (IOL) for the AHs

and socioeconomic survey (SES) of AHs and none-AHs within the subproject area. Inventory of

loss: Taking into account the basic design, agricultural land to be acquired has been identified

through referencing to commune cadastral records. Affected trees and crops have been

determined by actual measurement and counting. The amounts indicated for the area of land

loss and affected trees/crops will be re-assessed and validated during the DMS based on the

subproject’s detailed design.

10. Socioeconomic survey: The SES was completed with respect to province, district and

communes by collecting information from provincial and district Year Books, and annual

socioeconomic reports of the communes in 2014. The SES collected information on the profile

and characteristics of AHs, their income levels and sources of income, ethnic composition,

education levels and basic information on their plans after compensation by directly interviewing

them.

B. Permanent Impacts

11. Affected households: 26 households with 123 persons will be affected by the sub-

project. There will not any severely affected households, ethnic minority households, women-

head households with dependents, poor as well as other vulnerable households, business

bases or structures in the subproject area. The households are distributed in subproject

components as table below:

Table 1. Distribution of HHs in components

12. Thus EaTohThuong reservoir has a highest affected household number as 14. Lowest is

the component of road with only 2 households since the road is to be built on the existing one.

13. Affected lands: Permanently acquired area for the subproject is 1,546 m2 of perennial

land. No residential land will be acquired. Distribution of permanently acquired land in

components as table below:

14. Result of the survey in April, 2015 shows that Nguyen Kim Que household in Phu Loc

commune will be acquired 240m2, equal 2% of total land holding of the household. Others lose

less than 1%, so there is no household losing 10%. See list of affected HHs and their

permanently lost percentage land in annex 4.

15. Affected structures: The subproject will have no impact on any structures.

16. Loss of crop/trees: There are 10 types of trees to be cut due to the subproject, in which

mostly are pepper and coffee, see table below.

C. Temporary Impacts

17. The subproject may cause temporary impacts of 19,120m2 land during construction for

certain construction activities. However, to ensure that the temporary impacts are minimized, if

not entirely avoidable, the civil works contracts will include the following provisions, (i) contractor

to pay rent for any land required for construction work based on negotiation with and

Page 17: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

concurrence of AHs; (ii) to the extent possible, only unused land will be used as construction

work space; and (iii) temporarily used land will be restored or improved to its pre-project

condition. With these mitigation measures, the temporary impact will be insignificant.

D. Tenure Status of AHs Losing Land

18. Validation of the land-use right certificate (LURC) was conducted in the affected

communes revealing that all affected lands are legally owned.

E. Vulnerable Households

19. There are not any vulnerable households affected by the subproject.

III. GENERAL SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE

A. Subproject’s Socioeconomic Features

20. Social-economic information comes from two sources (i) From social-economic report

2014 of EaToh and PhuLoc communes, Krong Nang district where the subproject will be done

and (ii) From the survey in April 2015 with all affected HHs. The table below is information from

reports of the CPC of EaToh and Phu Loc.

21. Beside social economic information from social-economic report of CPCs, other is from

affected HHs. They were also collected in the survey at sites in April 2015 with some key

information as (i) Occupation/income and (ii) Educational level. The detailed occupation and

average income of HHs are presented in table below:

22. The survey shows that most of HHs is farmers. Therefore, their income in general is low,

due to depending on agricultural production. There are some HHs who open small shops at

home

23. Educational level of offspring generation in comparison with household heads has a

higher trend. While household heads, secondary school level dominates with 12/26 persons

(46%) and two persons are still illiterate, with their offspring, high school level reaches a highest

number 53/97 (55%). See table below:

C. Gender issues

24. There are not serious gender issues in the sub-project area. All HHs have land use right

certificate (LURC). According to the Land Law, the certificate has name of owners both wife and

husband. Most of the poor women participate in agriculture production activities along with men

(though have to work harder and longer because they both participate in production and

household duties). Gender analysis indicates that the women have (i) limited knowledge and

involvement in irrigation O&M, water resource management and rural infrastructure; (ii) limited

capacity and decision-making ability in rural infrastructure; (iii) limited knowledge in improved

agriculture and post-harvest technologies; and (iv) limited access to credit and knowledge of

small business.

25. The participation of women in leadership and decision-making in resettlement planning

activities will be better improved with the equal representation of men and women. Election of

the representatives to the resettlement planning boards will be done separately for men and

women.

D. Social Impact Assessment

26. Expected positive impacts. The subproject will have significant positive impacts on the

local people in general and on women in particular. These impacts are as follows:

(i) chances to increase number of crops/year after the reservoirs are renovated from

which their crop/income will be increased;

(ii) dam and reservoir safety is enhanced since it will minimize risks by flood, dam

broken during rainy seasons;

(iii) it will help reduce cost and time of transport, access land of local households

because the roads are upgraded and

(iv) more part-time job opportunities during the constructional stage

27. Potential negative impacts. A social impact assessment (SIA) has been conducted

through the Inventory of Loss (IOL) and consultations to identify the subproject impacts both

positive and negative. Results of the SIA show that land acquisition will have direct effects on

APs, if adequate compensation is not provided. The land acquisition associated with the

subproject, although limited, may also have negative effects on women. However,

mitigation/minimizing measures have been considered through the design and the

compensation and resettlement plan. In addition, during construction, environmental pollution

caused by dust and construction waste as well as noise may occur and affect people. These

effects will be minimized through mitigation measures included in the environment management

plan.

Page 21: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

10

E. Measures to Minimize Negative Impacts

28. In order to mitigate negative impacts on local peoples during the finalization of the

subproject’s detailed design, implementation, as well as monitoring process, project staff will

enhance the dissemination of project information to and conduct further consultations with

households to ensure that they obtain maximum benefit from the subproject in a culturally

appropriate manner. During the construction period, contractors must use measures that

minimize dust and noise and restore road quality if vehicles cause damage to the local roads.

Dissemination of information of the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and associated

preventive measures will be undertaken, if necessary.

29. Gender action plan: Although women are supposed that they will not be impacted

adversely by the subproject, a GAP is necessary that create chance for women to take part in

implementing the subproject and enhance their role in the area. GAP includes (i) a strategy to

encourage women to participate in sub-project activities from design, compensation and

construction. They may take part in public consultation meetings, express their ideas, supervise

construction (community supervision); (ii) capacity building training for women in supervision

etc. Each community supervision board should have at least one woman. Once being invited,

they will have chance to raise/express their ideas.

IV. DISCLOSURE, PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION

A. Information Disclosure

30. In compliance with the ADB requirements, the PPMU will assist the Land Fund

Development Centre (LFDC) in publicly disseminating the final RP as approved by the PPC and

ADB. The subproject information booklet will be made available in the Vietnamese language

and EM language (if needed).

31. APs are notified in advance of resettlement activities, including (i) community meetings

about the scope of the subproject, alignments of subproject infrastructure, site clearance plan

and construction plan; (ii) detailed measurement survey results; (iii) lists of eligible APs and their

entitlements; (iv) compensation rates and amounts, (v) payment of compensation and other

assistance; and (vi) other contents such as the complaint mechanism. Notices are posted in the

commune PC offices or other easily accessible locations; letters, notices or small brochures are

delivered individually to APs; and radio announcements.

32. This RP will be uploaded on ADB websites in English and the version in Vietnamese will

be disclosed to the AHs through commune and village meetings. The staff of Commune PC and

mass organizations will translate the RP into EM language (if needed) and disseminate the

information to the EM through loud speakers and other oral communication means on market

days as well as in public meetings. In the table below, the different public consultation meetings

pursued and planned and their description and methodology are listed.

Page 22: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

11

B. Public Consultation and Participation

33. The objective of public consultation and participation is to develop and maintain avenues

of communication between the Project, stakeholders and APs to ensure that their views and

concerns are incorporated into subproject preparation and implementation with the objectives of

reducing or offsetting negative impacts and enhancing benefits from the subproject. The

feedback from consultations is an important component of, and crucial methodology of the

planning process, leading to the formulation of mitigation measures and compensation plans for

subproject-affected communities, and for environmental mitigation measures.

34. The aim of public consultation and participation in the context of the subproject is to:

(i) provide full and impartial information to affected persons about the subproject, its

activities, and potential impacts that affect them, and to provide an opportunity for

their feedback on the subproject;

(ii) explore a range of options for minimizing subproject negative impacts, and for

those impacts that cannot be avoided, explore options for, and ensure APs

participation in the design of mitigation measures;

(iii) gather information about the needs and priorities of APs as well as their feedback

on proposed resettlement and compensation policies, options and activities; and

(iv) provide a mechanism for continued dialogue, raising of concerns and monitoring of

implementation.

35. Information disclosure, public consultation and participation of APs have to be done

during the project cycle from preparation to completion stages.

36. In the subproject selection and design stage: Public consultation meetings in the

preliminary design stage with 40 participants (including beneficiaries, APs and staff of CPCs)

had been done by PPMU DakLak at Phu Loc CPC on August 09, 2014 and at EaToh CPC on

August 22, 2014. Contents of the meeting focus on subproject information disclosure,

compensation and assistance, ethnic minority people as well as environment policies. See the

meeting minute at EaToh in annex 1.

37. In the RP preparation stage: In the RP preparation stage, two consultation activities

were done as (i) consultation with commune/district authorities and (ii) consultation with APs.

The main contents of the meetings are summarized as following:

(i) Consultation with local authority: The consultation with local authorities was

organized at district PC of Krong Nang on April 09, 2015. Main objective of the meeting is to

collect ideas of local authorities who will be responsible for acquired land activities and to

prepare for consultation with AP. Participants consist of representatives of (i) district People’s

Committee (DPC), Land Funding Development Center of the district (LFDC), Department of

Natural Resource and Environment (DONRE) and CPCs of EaToh and Phu Loc. See the minute

of the meeting in annex 3. Main contents of the meeting are summarized in table below:

Table 8.Consultation with local authority in the RP preparation stage

Main contents raised by SPC (safeguard

policy consultant) Ideas of stakeholders

Compensation price

In other projects, are there market price surveys

for land before compensation?

From July 2014 when the Land Law 2013 was

effective, projects in DakLak have been carried out

market price surveys for land before submitting for

approval and compensation.

Are there much differences between

compensated prices for land in other projects in

comparison with market ones

Not much difference

Why not much

Since market prices in recent year have been rather

stable. More over prices issued by PPC are also

based on surveyed ones.

13

Main contents raised by SPC (safeguard

policy consultant) Ideas of stakeholders

Do people complain much about such prices Yes, there are, but not much

REMDF of this project requests that

compensation is based on replacement costs.

Such costs should be based on a survey. Are

there any difficulties in the locality if

implementing the request?

Such a survey has been done in the district when

doing other projects, so there will not be any difficulty.

To estimate a budget for implementing the RP,

which costs should be applied?

The costs will be surveyed when implementing the

RP, so in RP preparation stage, SPC should apply

costs issued by PPC annually

Assets on land, which costs are applied All are applied costs issued by PPC.

RP implementation arrangement

a) Which agency will be assigned to implement

the RP?

b) Has the agency ever implemented any RP of

ODA projects?

V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

40. APs can send any questions to implementation agencies about their rights in relation

with entitlement, compensation policy, rates, land acquisition, resettlement, allowance and

income restoration. Furthermore, APs will not be ordered to pay any fee for resolving their

grievance and complaints at local levels and court. The following steps for grievance redress

are established based on the Complaint Law no. 02/2011/QH13, dated 11/11/2011 and Degree

No75/2012/NĐ-CP on November 20, 2012. A complaint can be handled maximum through three

stages, if not solved, it can be sent to court as a final level.

(i) First Stage, Commune People’s Committee: The aggrieved affected household can

bring his/her complaint in writing or verbally to any member of the Commune

People’s Committee, either through the Village Chief or directly to the CPC. It is

incumbent upon said member of CPC or the village chief to notify the CPC about the

complaint. The CPC will meet personally with the aggrieved affected household and

will have 30 days and maximum of 45 days following the lodging of the complaint,

Page 26: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

15

depending on complicated case or distance, to handle it. The CPC secretariat is

responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles.

(ii) Second Stage, District People’s Committee: If after 30 days or 45 days (in remote

area) the aggrieved affected household does not hear from the CPC, or if the

affected household is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the

affected household may bring the case, either in writing or verbal, to any member of

the DPC. The DPC in turn will have 30 days or maximum of 70 days following the

lodging of the complaint, depending on complicated case or remote area, to resolve

the case. The DPC is responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints

that it handles and will inform the DLFDC of any determination made and the DLFDC

is responsible for supporting DPC to resolve AP’s complaint. The DPC must ensure

their decision is notified to the complainant.

(iii) Third Stage, Provincial People’s Committee: If after 30 days or 45 days (in remote

area) the aggrieved affected household does not hear from the DPC, or if the

affected household is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the

affected household may bring the case, either in writing, to any member of the PPC.

The PPC has 30 days or maximum of 70 days, depending on complicated case or

remote area, to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. The PPC is

responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that reaches the

same.

(iv) Final Stage, arbitration at Court: If after 30 days following the lodging of the complaint

with the PPC, the aggrieved affected household does not hear from the PPC, or if

he/she is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the complainant

can appeal again to the PPC. If the complainant is not satisfied with the second

decision of the PPC, the case may be brought to a Court of law for adjudication. If

the court rules in favor of the complainant, then PPC will have to increase the

compensation at a level to be decided by the court. In case the court will rule in favor

of PPC, then the complainant will receive compensation approved by PPC..

41. The grievance redress mechanism has been disclosed to APs during RP preparation

and will be continuously disseminated to people during RP implementation to ensure that they

understand the process. PPMU/DRCs and LIC resettlement specialist are responsible for follow

up of the grievance process.

VI. LEGAL AND POLICY FRAME WORK

42. .The legal and policy framework for dealing with the resettlement impacts of the

subproject is based on relevant policies and laws of Viet Nam and the ADB’s Policy (SPS 2009)

on Involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous People. In this section, the relevant policies and

laws of Vietnam, including policies of DakLak Province, and policies of ADB are outlined. In

Page 27: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

16

case of difference between these policies (of Vietnam and of ADB), reconciliation is done to

establish policies and principles to be applied under this subproject.

A. ADB Policies

43. Involuntary Resettlement. The main objectives of ADB’s Policy on Involuntary

Resettlement is to avoid or minimize the adverse impacts on people, HHs, businesses and

others in the implementation of development project. Where resettlement is not avoidable, the

involuntary resettlement must be minimized by exploring project and design alternatives, and

enhance or at least restore the living standards of the affected persons to at least their pre-

project levels. The SPS June 2009 also stresses on a new objective of improving the standards

of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. The policy applies to full or partial,

permanent or temporary physical and economic displacement resulting from (i) involuntary

acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated

parks and protected areas. Resettlement is considered involuntary when displaced individuals

or communities do not have the right to refuse land acquisition that result in displacement.

44. Gender. The ADB Policy on Gender and Development (1998) and the Gender

Mainstreaming Criteria Guidelines (2010) adopts gender mainstreaming as a key strategy for

promoting gender equity, and for ensuring participation of women and that their needs are

explicitly addressed in the decision-making process for development activities. For projects that

have the potential to have substantial gender impacts, a gender plan is prepared to identify

strategies to address gender concerns and the involvement of women in the design,

implementation and monitoring of the project. The findings of a culturally gender sensitive

analysis is to be included in the RP, and at all stages ensuring that gender concerns are

incorporated, including gender-specific consultation and information disclosure.

45. In this subproject, scope of negative impact is also minor, and gender is not serious

problem, so Gender Action Plan is incorporated in the RP of the subproject.

B. National Laws on Involuntary Resettlement and Gender

46. Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement. The Constitution of the Socialist

Republic of Viet Nam (2013) confirms the right of citizens to own and protect the ownership of a

house. In addition, the Government has enacted a number of laws, decrees and regulations that

constitute the legal framework for land acquisition, compensation, assistance and resettlement.

The principal documents include the Land Law No. 45/2013/QH13, dated 29/11/2013, providing

Vietnam with a comprehensive land administration law; Decree No. 47/2014/ND-CP, dated

15/5/2014 on compensation, assistance, rehabilitation and resettlement in the event of land

recovery by the State; Decree No. 44/2014/ND-CP, dated 15/5/2014 specifying the methods for

land pricing and land price frameworks in the event of land recovery by the State and Decree

No. 43/2014/ND-CP dated 15/5/2014 providing guidelines on implementation of the Land Law

Page 28: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

17

2013 and Circular, No. 37/2014/TT-BTNMT, dated 30 Jun 2014, guiding on implementation of

Decree 47/2014/ND-CP, and Circular No. 36/2014/TT-BTNMT, dated 30 Jun 2014, guiding on

implementation of Decree 44/2014/ND-CP.

47. Laws, decrees and decisions relevant to public disclosure of information include the Law

on Land, No. 45/2013/QH13, Article 67, requiring disclosure of information to the APs prior to

recovery of agricultural and non-agricultural lands of a minimum of 90 and 180 days minimum

respectively.

48. Gender. The Constitution 2013 of Vietnam adheres to the equality between men and

women. Women Union of Vietnam was found in 1930. This is a social political organization in

the politic system of Vietnam representing all classes of Vietnam women, which was mandated

to protect women’s legitimate rights and strive for gender equality. Today, a network of this

union operates throughout Vietnam at all administrative levels.

49. Progress of women has been paid attention by the Vietnam Government since 1980s of

the twentieth century. The National Committee for the Decade of Vietnam women was

established in 1985 with Decision No. 41-HDBT of the Council of Ministers (the Government)

issued in response to the United Nations Decade for Women. For gender equality via a

continuous development of the machine for the advancement of women, the Government

issued Decision No. 72-TTg on the 25th of February 1993 to change and upgrade the National

Committee for the Decade of Women into the National Committee for the Advancement of

Women to fulfill its tasks. In 2001, the second upgrading of this committee was carried out. The

latest strengthening of this committee was implemented through Decision No. 114/2008/QD-

TTg issued by the Prime Minister on the 22nd of August 2008. This decision clearly indicates

that the National Committee for the Advancement of Women is an inter-sectoral organization

assisting the Prime Minister in researching and coordinating interdisciplinary issues related to

advancement of women in Vietnam.

50. The National Committee for the Advancement of Women submitted “the National

Strategy for the Advancement of Women until 2010” to the Prime Minister for approval. This

strategy was approved as stated in Decision No. 19/2002/QD-TTg issued by the Prime Minister

on the 21st of January 2002 with the general objectives being (i) to enhance spiritual and

physical life quality of women and (ii) to create advantageous conditions in order to effectively

implement basic rights of women and bring into play roles of women in all fields of politics,

51. Gender equality in Vietnam was officially legalized in 2006 after the National Assembly

of Vietnam ratified the Law on Gender Equality on the 29th of November 2006. This is the most

important legal corridor to formulate policies and real actions for gender equality in Vietnam.

Actually, five years after the Law on Gender Equality issued, the National Program on Gender

C. Reconciliation of Government and ADB Policies on Resettlement

55. With the promulgation of the Land Law2013, including Decree No.47/2014/ND-CP,

Decree No.43/2014/ND-CP and Decree No.44/2014/ND-CP, the policies and practices of the

national Government have become more consistent with ADB’s Policy on Involuntary

Resettlement (The SPS 2009). However, there are still some significant gaps between the

Government policies and the ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement.

56. The following table provides a comparison of ADB’s Policy (SPS 2009) and those of the

Government on key areas of involuntary resettlement, and regulates the implementation of the

resettlement issues under the Project and its subprojects.

D. Project and Subproject Policies

57. In pursuit of the above resettlement framework and policies, the following specific

principles are adopted:

(i) Poor and vulnerable non-titled users will be provided appropriate assistance to

help them improve their socioeconomic status. The type of assistance will be

identified during RP preparation in consultation with APs.

(ii) Payment for affected lands and assets on the lands will be based on the principle

of replacement cost.

(iii) Temporarily affected land will be restored to pre-Project conditions.

(iv) RCS shall be carried by an experienced appraiser to identify the market rates and

replacement costs for the affected lands and assets upon lands.

(v) Assistance on life and production stabilization will be provided to those who lose

10% or more of their productive income generating assets and/or being physically

displaced. The subproject will focus on strategies to avoid further impoverishment

and create new opportunities to improve status of the poor and vulnerable persons

and will be entitled to participate in an income restoration program, which will be

mainstreamed in the District Extension Program.

(vi) Assistance shall be provided in accordance with the current Provincial regulations

for those below the official poverty line, and for vulnerable groups (e.i, EMs or

female-headed HHs, etc.) as per consultation results.

(vii) Social impacts assessment will be conducted and updated with similar methods to

assess potential project impacts, both positive and adverse.

(viii) Capacity building programs in the subproject area will be provided. Meaningful

consultations will be carried in all stages of the subproject. The grievance redress

required to conduct

monitoring on RP and

EMDP implementation

no need to recruit an

external monitoring

organization.

Third-party

donations

Not required. The borrower is required to

engage an independent

third-party to document the

negotiation and settlement

processes to openly

address the risks of

asymmetry of information

and bargaining power of

the parties involved in such

transactions.

In case of land donations

involving marginal

portions of land, the LIC

will verify and report on

the negotiation and

settlement processes as

part of the due diligence

report. A voluntary

donation form signed by

the landowners,

witnesses, and village

leaders will be attached

in the report.

mechanism has been developed and will be discussed and disclosed publicly in

the communities.

(ix) The subproject will ensure the rights of local to benefit from the use of their cultural

resource and knowledge.

(x) The issues of access restriction and physical displacement from protected areas

and natural resources will be avoided as much as possible.

(xi) The RP shall be updated and consultants will be recruited to assist in RPupdating,

implementation and monitoring.

(xii) Key information in the RP, including measurement of losses data, detailed asset

valuation, compensation and resettlement options, detailed entitlements and

special provisions, grievance redress procedures, timing of payments and

displacement schedule will be disclosed to the APs in an understandable format

and in the local language, such as the posting of the full RP in commune offices

and the distribution of PIBs to the APs.

(xiii) Meaningful consultation will be made to define areas with customary rights and to

reflect the issues in an updated RP with particular actions to protect or compensate

the areas.

(xiv) Internal monitoring of the RP implementation will be carried out.

(xv) Civil works will not be issued a notice to proceed (NTP) for any subproject or

project component that entails involuntary resettlement in accordance with the

approved RP for that subproject or component until, as far as relevant for the

subproject, (i) compensation payment and relocation to new sites have been

satisfactorily completed for that area, and (ii) agreed rehabilitation (income

restoration) program is in place.

VII. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS

A. Eligibilities

58. Legal rights to the land concerned determine eligibility for compensation with regard to

land. There are three types of APs: (i) persons with Land Use Rights Certificates (LURCs) to

land lost in entirety or partially, (ii) persons who lose land they occupy who do not currently

possess a LURC but have a claim that is recognizable under national laws, or, (iii) persons who

lose land they occupy in its entirety or partially who do not have any recognizable claim to that

land. APs included under (i) and (ii) above shall be compensated for the affected land and

assets on the land. APs included under (iii) shall not be compensated for the affected land, but

for the affected assets on the land and are entitled to assistance if they have to relocate.

59. All APs who satisfy the cut-off date for eligibility are entitled to compensation for their

affected assets (land, structures, trees and crops), and rehabilitation measures sufficient to

Page 34: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

23

assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living standards, income-earning

capacity and production levels.

60. Non-eligible APs include those making claims based on subsequent occupation after the

cut-off date. The cut-off date for eligibility will coincide with the day of announcement of the land

acquisition.

B. Compensation and Assistance

61. Compensation for land: As agreed at the public consultation meeting with local

authorities and APs, compensation for land will be based on replacement cost survey for the

project area done by a qualified agency in the RP implementation stage. In the RP preparation,

compensation for land is based on prices issued by DakLak PPC at decision No 43/2014 issued

on December 22, 2014 estimated is at 43,296,000 for all affected land.

62. Compensation for crop/trees: Compensation prices for tree in the RP implementation

stage will be at market prices. But in this RP, compensation prices for trees are based on the

provincial prices and estimated is at VND 170,748,000.

63. Assistance for job changing/creation: Following the provincial policy, the APs losing

agricultural land will be provided with an additional cash assistance equivalent to 2 times the

value of their affected land. Total this cost is VND 86,592,000.

64. Temporarily acquired land: The land area will be hired by constructional contractors, so

they have to negotiate with AHs, therefore in this RP, compensation cost for temporarily

acquired land is not estimated .

65. Unforeseen impacts: If there are additional persons or households who may be affected

during the implementation of the subproject, compensation and/or assistance will be also

applied to them according to the project policy.

VIII. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

67. Cost estimate for RP implementation: It is based on (i) quantity of affected assets

through IOL; (ii) Land prices issued by Daklak PPC on December 22, 2015 at decision No

43/2014/QD-UBND of Daklak people’s committee. Compensation prices for trees apply

decisions No 01/2011/QD-UBND issued by Daklak PPC on January 07, 2011. During the RP

implementation, compensation prices will be surveyed by a qualified agency then approved by

PPC before compensation. Prices to be surveyed include those for land, assets on land. (iii)

cost for RP implementation agency LFDCis 2% of total amount of compensation and

allowances or 5,148,000 VND. (iv) and contingency is 10%. Total cost for RP implementation of

this subproject is estimated about 337,314,000 VND. This cost will be provided by Daklak PPC.

For temporatory land, the land area will be hired by constructional contractors, so they have to

negotiate with AHs to compensate, therefore in this RP, compensation cost for temporarily

acquired land is not estimated.

implemented as planned and that mitigating measures designed to address the subproject’s

adverse impacts are adequate and effective. Towards this end, resettlement monitoring will

be done through community monitoring and internal monitoring.

79. Community-based Monitoring - Community-based monitoring will be applied for public

oversight over the implementation of the subproject’s RP. The PPMU will encourage people

and especially the APs in the subproject area to monitor the RP implementation in terms of

what they receive as compensation compared what is stated in the RP.

80. Internal Monitoring - The objectives of internal monitoring (as well as evaluation) is to

assess:

(i) compliance with the agreed RP;

Page 41: 40238-023: Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector …...Framework of the Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project (PRISP) has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam

30

(ii) the availability of resources and the efficient and effective use of these resources

to implement land acquisition and resettlement activities;

(iii) the effectiveness of the resettlement institutions during the course of project

implementation;

(iv) scheduling of the resettlement activities in comparison with the implementation

schedule described in the RP; and

(v) identify problems, if any, and propose remedial actions.

81. The primary responsibility for internal monitoring rests with the CPMU as the project

implementing agency. The CPMU will be responsible for overseeing the formation, function,

and activities of each of the provincial and district bodies responsible for resettlement. The

CPMU will ensure that the LFDC will prepare and submit quarterly progress reports on the

implementation of the RP. The CPMU will consolidate all provincial reports into the project

performance monitoring system, which will be used to prepare semi-annual progress reports

for submission to ADB. All data will be gender and ethnicity disaggregated.

82. The CPMU will develop an internal monitoring schedule, indicators, procedures and

reporting requirements for all subprojects. Internal monitoring indicators will include but not

limited to:

(i) payment of compensation to APs in accordance with the agreed REMDF and the

RPs;

(ii) completion of land acquisition, compensation and, if required, resettlement

activities before commencement of civil works;

(iii) adherence to public information dissemination and consultation, and reporting on

these activities; and

(iv) adherence to the grievance redress procedures and reporting.
