1.3. Objectives and principles of Resettlement Action PlanAccording to The Law on Land No. 45/2013/QH13, Article 83, Point 2.

Compensation, assistance, resettlement for special cases regulate: “For projects using loans from international organizations, foreign which Vietnam State has committed to a policy framework for compensation, assistance and resettlement it will comply with that policy framework”. PF of this project is prepared basing on the harmonization of the World Bank’s OP/BP 4.12 and the Vietnam's Laws and Degrees on compensation, assistance and resettlement. This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared in pursuant to the policies and principles of Resettlement Plan Framework, approved by the Prime Minister on 23/11/2015 by Official document number 2127/TTg-QHQT.

The basic objective of the Resettlement Action Plan is to ensure that all AHs by the project (APs) will be compensated at replacement cost and assisted with restoration measures to help them improve or at least maintain the living conditions and the capacity to make income before the project.

The RAP is prepared based on:(i) Feasibility study of the subproject(ii) Social impact assessment of the subproject;(iii) Policies of Vietnam and WB on resettlement site survey in all areas that may cause

impacts of land acquisition and resettlement (details in Chapter 4)(iv) Consultations of local stakeholders: local authorities and communities in the

subproject areas (12 communes/precincts/towns, 05 Districts/City, and 01 province) with the participation of representatives of (i) Local administrative government; (ii) Political and social groups: Fatherland Front Committee, Farmer Union, Women Union); (iii) Cadastral officers; (iv) local residents living in the subproject areas, and (v) affected people.

(v) Results of social impact screening, social impact assessment;(vi) Results of estimation of loss (EOL).

When the specific designs of the subproject are completed and the detailed measurement survey (DMS) can be executed, an update RAP will be prepared with accurate data on affected people, and replacement cost at the update time. The RAP update will be approved by People’s Committee of the Province in prior to compensation payment.



2. RESULTS OF SOCIOECONOMIC RESEARCH2.1. Approach and methodology

2.1.1. Approach

The preparation of REMDP involves community participation, and a multi-dimensional analysis, including a social assessment. In the planning stage of the project, the following steps may be followed:

- Step 1. Based on the preliminary project design for the subproject, preliminary assessment will be made on the magnitude of social impact to determine the scope of social assessment of the project (magnitude of land acquisition, or resettlement).

- Step 2. Conduct a census survey to understand clearly the magnitude of impact at household level. This may involve collection of socioeconomic data on the affected households against the magnitude of land acquisition impact. The following types of data should be collected as part of the socioeconomic survey:

o Data about APs, total number of APs: Demographic, education, income, and occupational profiles; Inventory of all property and assets affected; Socioeconomic production systems and use of natural resources; Inventory of common property resources if any; Economic activities of all affected people, including vulnerable groups; Social networks and social organization; Cultural systems and sites; Public utilities such as clinics, post offices, water supply, power supply, markets, etc.

centres,… facilitating production and life of the communities living in high mountainous and dissected areas.

2.3. Results of socioeconomic surveys on the affected areasPPMU and Consultant unit had conducted SES and data collection activities to

examine the socioeconomic features of the affected areas. The collected information include socioeconomic reports by the People’s Committees of the communes/precinct/town, and other information collected in the field study.

Economic features: All 12 subproject communes have agriculture, forestry and aquaculture as the dominant economic sector, accounts for approximately 50% of total production value of the commune. Regarding agriculture, rice is the most popular plants, followed by maize, sweet potato, peanut, and cassava. Forestry is more developed in the mountainous and mid-land communes as the hilly terrain and soil type in these areas are more suitable for growing industrial plants, such as rubber trees, acacia trees. Aquaculture is practiced mostly at household scale, in small ponds or utilise existing reservoirs. In recent years, industry – handicraft – service sector is growing exponentially, however, generally there has not been many large companies and factories operating in the subproject areas, mostly small and individual production.

Population: The subproject communes generally have small population with low population density, except Khe Sanh and Ben Quan towns that have slightly more dense population. Natural population increase rates are higher in the rural communes than in the urban areas. Average natural population increase is maintained at 2.1.

Infrastructures: All subproject communes have adequate basic infrastructures for education, healthcare, electrical supply, clean water supply, road system, and rubbish collection services. Education facilities are sufficient for the local demands, ensuring all children of age go to school. Healthcare systems include local healthcare centres in each commune, adequately serving health-check and healthcare requirements of the local people. Khe Sanh and Ben Quan towns have most of the roads concretized and consolidated, while other communes only have concrete roads in sections from highway to the commune centre, the remaining roads are largely packed soil roads, which become difficult to travel in rain season.The subproject is executed for 12 reservoirs at 09 communes, 02 towns, and 01

precinct with socioeconomic features as summarized in Appendix 1.

The resettlement impacts of the subproject are mainly from land acquisition activities and the construction of works, including:

- Permanent land acquisition: some areas in the downstream of reservoirs have to be acquired permanently to upgrade, expand, or construct new head-works, management house and management road, or use as disposal site of the construction; The permanently acquired lands will be changed regarding land use purpose.

- Establishing construction safety corridor: Pursuant to Article 25 Ordinance number 32/2001/PL-UBTVQH10 about exploitation and protection of water resources constructions, the protected boundary for each construction includes the construction itself and the buffer zone with area corresponding to construction level. The protective buffer zone is established to secure construction safety, facilitate the exploitation and protection of the construction. The land acquired for this purpose will not have land use purpose changed, but the access to the land will be limited, and there will be loss of standing assets.

- Water supply disruption during construction: the construction method and timing will be arranged so that the period of supply disruption will be minimized. Temporary dyke will also be established so that water supply to the downstream area will be continuous. Furthermore, in case of unavoidable water cut, the construction will arrange so that the water cut timing is out of irrigation period of the beneficiary commune.

3.2. Measures to mitigate resettlement impacts during the preparation phase Mitigation measures via designing:- The subproject only rehabilitate and upgrade the existing head-works, mostly

conducted on the already existed constructions, therefore, the areas to be acquired for the subproject activities are small.

- Filling soil for rip-rapping of the dams are exploited from suitable areas in the reservoir zone, hence, no acquisition of land outside the reservoir areas required;

- The material pilling areas and worker’s camps will be arranged at the empty land in the construction areas, so that temporary land acquisition for these items is not necessary;

- Disposal sites are also placed at low areas or required filling in the commune, therefore, the acquisition impacts are reduced, and the demand in levelling the commune surface is met;

- Construction methods and timing will be arranged to limit the impacts of water disruption on the downstream communities, secure continuous water supply with quantity and timing corresponding to local productive season.



Mitigation measures via information tools:- Information disclosure: information on the subproject is provided sufficiently to

all the local governments, communities, and interest parties, thereby, the subproject execution plan, requirements of land acquisition, construction plan,… are presented clearly to all stakeholders to achieve maximum cooperation;

- Public consultation: PPMU cooperated with consultant unit to hold public consultations in the subproject areas, thereby, received the comments and feedbacks from the local people regarding considerations in designing, executing and constructing processes so that the subproject activities can be done in a manner suitable with the commune’s conditions, reducing the area of acquisition and the number of affected households and people.

3.3. Mitigation measures to reduce resettlement impacts during the execution phase

Mitigation measures via construction methods:- The construction method and timing will be arranged so that the period of supply

disruption will be minimized. Temporary dyke will also be established so that water supply to the downstream area will be secured at quantity and timing suitable to local productive season.

- Temporary dyke method will be used to ensure continuous water supply to the downstream areas during construction time.

Mitigation measures via information tools:- Maintaining information disclosure and public consultation throughout the

subproject execution phase, ensure that the stakeholders will receive information sufficiently and timely. Concurrently, all the comments, questions and grievances from stakeholders will be received and responded accurately and timely.

Mitigation measures via executive arrangement:- Monitoring mechanism: Establishing a monitoring mechanism includes internal

monitoring, independent monitoring, and community monitoring. All the subproject activities will be monitored and reported periodically to responsible authorities.

- Grievance redress mechanism: a grievance redress mechanism will be established specifically for this subproject, with transparent arrangement and duty assignments to stakeholders, so that all the grievances from stakeholders will be received and addressed appropriately and satisfyingly.



3.4. Scope of impactsThe resettlement activities of the subproject are expected to affect 12 reservoir

areas of 12 communes/precincts/towns. All the areas to be acquired are permanent acquisition and limited land access1. The subproject does not require temporary land acquisition.

Impact scope: The subproject implementation will affect 12 communes/precincts/towns of 06 districts/cities in Quang Tri province. The estimation of loss (EOL) results indicate that there are 129 households will be affected by losses of lands and standing assets, and 12 communal people’s committees (CPC) affected by acquisition of public lands. Among 129 affected households, there is no severely affected households due to loss of from 20% of total productive land area, or from 10% in case of vulnerable households. There is 01 household in Gio My commune has to relocate. There are 07 ethnic minority households in Vinh Khe commune affected.

Impacts on land: The subproject acquires totally 362,615 m2 (36.3 ha) of lands, including 193,569 m2 permanently acquired for the construction works and 169,046 m2 of restricted-access lands for establishment of dam safety corridor. There are 45 households and 12 CPC being affected on lands, in which:

- Permanent acquisition: total permanent acquisition area is 19.4 ha, affecting 12 CPC using lands allocated by the State and 39 households using the lands (lands with LURC or eligible to be recognised by the State):o For constructing headworks (dams, spillways, intakes,…): 73,305 m2 of water

3.5. Summary and assessment of potential resettlement impacts

3.5.1. Summary of resettlement impacts

All the acquiring areas facilitating the execution of the subproject are permanently acquired. The subproject does not require temporary land acquisition. The lands are acquired for the following specific purposes:

(i) Expanding/consolidating the existing dams: Some dams have width of dam top smaller than the required safety standards, hence, the subproject will expand and/or restore the dam top to the standard width corresponding to reservoir scale;

(ii) Constructing new head-works: Some reservoir systems are lack of head-works facilitating the operation and management of reservoirs (management house, operational house, intakes, spillways,…), therefore, additional constructions will be built;

(iii) Expanding/upgrading management roads: the management roads are expanded on the existing roads to the width of 5m, therefore, additional areas will be acquired for the necessary expansion.

(iv) Disposing the weathered layers: Since the subproject dams are medium and small dams, the total wastes from removing the weathered layers for each construction are not large. The disposal sites do not have to be large and can be selected from the low and empty lands in the commune.

The total areas to be acquired are about 36.3 ha, including 09 types of land: (i) DTL: Water resources construction land; (ii) BCS: Unused land; (iii) LNC: Perennial industrial tree land; (iv) LUC: Paddy land; (v) BHK: Annual agricultural land; (vi) TSN: Aquaculture land; (vii) RSX: Productive forest land; (viii) ONT: Residential land; and (ix) Garden.

The acquisition will directly affect 129 households, in which, 39 HH being affected on land and standing assets, and 90 HH only being affected on standing assets. Details on acquisition areas, affected households and types of impacts for 12 constructions are summarized in the table below:

Permanently acquired land Limited access land

Figure 3.7 Land acquisition by land type areasAssessments: Over 50% of acquiring areas are water resources construction land and unused land managed by the CPC. The acquisition of these areas will not have significant impacts on the individuals, households currently using. The remaining lands are mostly productive lands. Only 1% is residential land and garden. On the other hand, the proportion of acquiring lands among total area owned by the AH is small (lower than 20%), hence, the production and income of these AH will not be affected remarkably.

Figure 3.8 Land acquisition by number of AH of land typeAssessments: There are totally 45 households being affected on lands, including 26 households only affected by permanent acquisition, 06 households only affected by limited land access, and 13 households being affected by both permanent acquisition and limited land access. There are households being affected on more than 1 land type. However, there is no household being permanently acquired from 20% of productive land owned. Details on the percentage of land loss are as follows:

Figure 3.3 Histogram of land loss percentage of AH



Since most of the AH only being affected on a part of their lands, affected on only one type of productive land, and these households also have one or more other land plots not affected. The percentage of land loss of these households is not high. 67% of households losing land permanently losing less than 5% of total productive land owned. The household with highest land loss percentage is at 18.6%. There is no severely affected household.

Figure 3.9 Acquiring areas by ownership and affected areas



Assessments: Majority of the acquiring areas are public land managed by the CPC, accounts for over 85% of total acquiring areas. This is a favourable condition for the execution process. The Household land affected is small, hence, the impacts on the AH are mainly related to the losses of standing assets.

3.5.3. Impacts on houses and infrastructures

Regarding houses and infrastructures, the subproject will affect 02 households with standing structures. The affected structures include:

01 household in Gio My commune (Dap Hoi reservoir) is affected entirely on 01 house, and has to relocate. The relocation will directly affect living and production activities of the household since they are currently living and producing on the same acquired land (aquaculture activities and animal farming).

01 household in Precinct 4 (Reservoir Km6) is affected on partial brick fence on the acquired garden. The executive unit will pay attention to notify this household so that they can move/rebuild the fence in appropriate time, reducing impacts on their living activities.

3.5.4. Impacts on trees and crops

There are 113 households being affected on standing trees and crops. The standing trees and crops are mostly wood trees, short-term fruit trees, rice, and bushes. The affected trees are productive plants of the households. There is no rare or protected plant affected.

Details on the quantity of trees and crops affected are summarized in the following table:

3.5.5. Impacts requiring relocation

The execution of this subproject requires acquisition of residential land of 01 household in the Dap Hoi reservoir area, Gio My commune, Gio Linh district. Location of the acquiring house is illustrated in Figure 3.4 below.

Figure 3.10 Location of the acquiring house in Dap Hoi reservoir, Gio My communeInstitute of Sustainable Development and Climate Change (ISC) 67


This residential land is in the same plot with aquaculture land and animal houses of the family. This household claimed the land by themselves and has settled here since 1993. In addition, this household also has other agricultural land at other location, not affected by the subproject.

3.5.6. Impacts on graves

There are 10 graves in Dap Hoi 1, 2 reservoirs area that have to be relocated in the execution of the subproject:

- Dap Hoi 1 reservoir, Gio My commune, Gio Linh district: The main dam area contains 05 graves in the reservoir zone that have to be relocated;

- Dap Hoi 2 reservoir, Gio My commune, Gio Linh district: Saddle dam 2 area contains 05 graves near the house of the relocating household;

In addition, the downstream area of main dam and the right side of Dap Hoi 2 reservoir contain a large grave yard. The subproject will not directly affect these areas, therefore, do not require relocation of these graves. However, during construction process, the transportation routes and locations of material and machine storage have to be selected at appropriate locations to avoid affecting these graves.

3.5.7. Impacts on historical, cultural, religious monuments

There is no historical, religious, cultural monument affected by the execution of this subproject. In Khom 7 reservoir, Khe Sanh town, Huong Hoa district, on the right side of the reservoir, there is an altar of the local community, about 10m away from the reservoir. The subproject will not affect this area, hence, the relocation of this altar is not necessary. However, construction units have to pay attention to arrange construction works and living activities of the workers in the construction process.

3.5.8. Severely affected households

Among 41 households being affected on land, there are 34 households having lands permanently acquired. There is no household being acquired of over 20% of total productive land owned (no vulnerable household being acquired land, hence, the limit of 20% is applied). As a result, there is no severely affected household. 95% of AH loses less than 15% of total productive land. Details on the number of AH by proportion of land lose are demonstrated in Table 3.4 and Figure 3.3 (Section 3.6.2).

3.5.9. Vulnerable households

The subproject affects totally 04 vulnerable households, which are ethnic minority households (Van Kieu ethnic), in Vinh Khe commune, Vinh Linh district. All of these households are affected to less than 10% of total productive land. The main impacts are from acquisition of a small proportion of productive land (productive forest) and losses of standing trees.

6. RESETTLEMENT STRATEGYThe subproject will require relocation of 01 household in Gio My commune, Gio

Linh district – Dap Hoi reservoir.

6.1. General information of the relocation household- Head of household: Mr. Thái Minh Đức;- Household members: 04, in which: 02 people in working age and 02 people under

working age (school children);- Average income: 10 million/month (2.5 million/person/month);- Subproject impacts on the household:

o Losing residential land and house, have to relocate to new settlement;o Losing productive land (aquaculture land);o Losing house and infrastructures: 01 house, 03 animal houses, and 01

concrete ground;o The household still has other productive lands unaffected. The percentage

of land loss of this household is 17.2%.- Legal status of ownership: Mr. Duc’s family has claimed the land by themselves

and settled in this place since 1993. The fish ponds were also invested and constructed by themselves. At EOL time, the ponds were used for freshwater fish farming. The land and house of this household do not have Land Use Right Certificate but also do not violate the commune’s planning.

6.2. Expectations on resettlementAfter receiving information on the subproject, and the plan of acquiring the areas

currently used by this household, PPMU had conduct private interview with representative of the household. Information on the compensation options were disclosed to the household so that they acknowledge and understand the applicable policies and responsibilities of stakeholders in each option. After receiving the information and discussing with PMUU, Mr. Duc’s household chose the compensation option as follows:

- For residential land: choosing the land for land option for the acquiring residential land. Specifically, his family would like to have a residential plot at land limit of the local, with location as close to the acquired house as possible, ideally within 2km from the old house;

- For productive land: choosing cash compensation option for the affected aquaculture land;

- For standing assets: choosing cash compensation for trees, crops, house and infrastructures affected.

- At the same time, the household also wanted to receive other allowances for relocation, and legal supports for a quick and convenient resettlement.Considering the expectations of the relocating household, PPMU and CPC of Gio

Below school ageElementary schoolSecondary schoolHigh schoolCollege and university

Figure 8.11 Education level of affected EM people- 100% EM people use Kinh language fluently in daily activities and trading,

production activities;- 100% EM people (except pre-school children) can read and write Kinh language

and do not have any difficulties in accessing information in Kinh documents;- Electricity: 100% households have access to national electrical grid;- Water: 100% AH have enough water for living activities. Main source of water is

dug wells.- Access to social services: have adequate and sufficient access to education and

healthcare services; Children receive health check and immunisation periodically.

8.2. Subproject impacts on EM people07 EM households are only affected on a small portion of productive lands and

standing trees. 2000 m2 of the affected areas are productive forest lands managed by Vinh Khe

CPC, currently used by 04 households. These households are allowed to cultivate on these lands without any fee or tax. Beside these affected areas, these households still have



their agricultural lands at other locations and are not affected. Therefore, the acquisition of these areas will not affect much to their production and income. All the affected trees will receive sufficient and satisfactory compensation. On the other hand, the areas around Co Kieng 2 reservoir still have several public lands available for production. The CPC can consider and assign new lands for these households to continue cultivating if they require.

The remaining areas are household lands of 07 households These households still have other unaffected productive lands (garden, perennial/forest lands, and rice fields) to continue cultivating. The impacts on incomes and production of these households are insignificant.

8.3. Ethnic Minority Development PlanSince the number of EM household is small (07 HH) and the impacts are

insignificant, the Ethnic Minority Development Plan is integrated in Resettlement Action Plan of the subproject. PPMU and executive units will ensure the following support activities for EM people are applied:

- Regarding compensation and assistance: Affected EM people will receive all the compensation and assistance pursuant to project policies, with the payment methods in a manner culturally suitable for EM people; In addition, EM households that would like to be assigned with other productive lands will be arranged to receive permission to cultivate on other public productive forest land or perennial lands managed by the CPC so that their production can be continued without disruption of cultivation and income.

- Regarding consultation: separated group discussion will be conducted with EM people affected so that their opinions can be received sufficiently and adequately;

- Regarding communication: the subproject activities should be disclosed to the EM households. Officers of Vinh Khe commune are required to participate in supporting PPMU in information disclosure and communication with EM household if necessary; The information after being disclosed to EM people will need to be confirmed and received feedbacks from them to ensure that they have received the information and fully understand the given documents.



9. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

9.1. Objectives of Public Information and ConsultationDisseminating information to people affected by the project and the involved

agencies is an important part in the work of project preparation and implementation. The consultation with affected persons and the active participation of APs will reduce the potential conflict and risk of slowing the project. This allows the project to design a resettlement and rehabilitation program as a general development program, in accordance with the needs and priorities of affected people and therefore, maximizes economic and social efficiency of investment. Objectives of the information and community consultation program include:

(i) Ensuring that local competent authorities as well as representatives of affected persons will be involved in the planning and making decisions. The PPMUs will work closely with the district/commune PCs during the sub-project implementation. The participation of affected persons in implementation stage will be continued by requesting each district/commune to invite representatives of affected persons to play as members of the Council/Board of Compensation and Resettlement of the district and participate in resettlement activities (property evaluation, compensation and resettlement and monitoring).

(ii) Sharing all information about planned work items and activities of the sub-project with the affected people.

(iii) Collecting information on needs and priorities of affected persons as well as receive their response information on planned policies and activities.

(iv) Ensuring that affected persons can be informed fully the decisions which directly affect their income and living standard and they have the opportunity to participate in the activities and make decisions about issues directly affecting them.

(v) Gaining the cooperation and participation of affected persons and communities in the activities, which are necessary for planning and implementing the resettlement.

(vi) Ensuring the transparency in all activities related to land acquisition, compensation, resettlement and restoration.

9.2. Consultations during RAP preparationThe sub-project investment preparation stage, public information and consultation

aims to gather information for assessing sub-project resettlement impacts and clarify recommendations on possible alternative technical options. This will reduce or mitigate potential negative resettlement impacts on local population and to proactively address issues or problems that may emerge during the implementation. The methods of the sub-project information and public consultation may include participatory rapid assessment and stakeholder’s consultation, using techniques of site and household visits, public



meetings, group meetings and focus group discussions and the household socio-economic survey.

At the early stage of the project preparation, local authorities and leaders of different administrative levels in each sub-project will be informed about the project, its objectives and proposed activities. They were intensively consulted and actively participated in discussions on their development needs and priorities of their locality. HHs will also be consulted on assessment of the potential impacts by the sub-project and possible mitigation measures and measures on improvement of project benefits for themselves. The local authority is consulted on their agreement and commitments to follow the project resettlement policy described in the RPF, reflecting both the Government and WB resettlement objectives.

After the sub-project is approved, the project information including RAP, objectives, components and on-going activities at public sites shall be publicly disclosed.

Past public consultations:During the preparation of RAP, PPMU had cooperated with safeguard consultant

to hold 02 phases of consultations at 12 subproject communes. Details and results of consultation are summarized in the following tables:

11. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM11.1. Grievance Redress Mechanism

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 and grievance redress. APs are not required to pay any fee during any of the procedures associated with seeking grievance redress including if resolution requires legal action to be undertaken in a court of law. This cost is included in the budget for implementation of RAPs.

The steps of Grievance Redress Mechanism are as follows: First Stage - Commune/Precinct/Town People’s Committees of 12 subprojct

communes (Trung Son commune, Gio My commune, Hai Chanh commune, Huong Tan commune, Khe Sanh town, Ben Quan town, Vinh Son commune, Vinh Chap commune, Vinh Hoa commune, Vinh Khe commune, Precinct 4, and Cam Tuyen commune): An aggrieved APs may bring his/her complaint to the One Door Department of the Commune/Ward People’s Committee, in writing or verbally. The member of CPC/WPC at the One Door Department will be responsible to notify the CPC/WPC leaders about the complaint for solving. The Chairman of the CPC/WPC will meet personally with the aggrieved APs and will have 30 days following the receiving date of the complaint to resolve it. The CPC/WPC secretariat is responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints handled by the CPC/WPC.

Second Stage - At District People’s Committees (DPC) at 06 District/City in the subproject (Gio Linh district, Hai Lang district, Huong Hoa district, Vinh Linh district, Dong Ha city, Cam Lo district): If after 30 days the aggrieved affected household does not hear from the CPC, or if the APs is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the APs may bring the case, either in writing or verbally, to any member of the DPC or the DRC of the district. The DPC in turn will have 30 days following the receiving date of the complaint to resolve the case. The DPC is responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles and will inform the DRC of district of any decision made. Affected households can also bring their case to Court if they wish.

Third Stage - At Province People’s Committee of Quang Tri province: If after 30 days the aggrieved PAP does not hear from the DPC, or if the PAP is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the PAP may bring the case, either in writing or verbally, to any member of the PPC or lodge an administrative case to the District People’s Court for solution.



The PPC has 45 days within which to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. The PPC secretariat is also responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles. Affected households can also bring their case to Court if they want.

Final Stage - Court of Law of Quang Tri province Decides: If after 45 days following the lodging of the complaint with the PPC, the aggrieved PAP does not hear from the PPC, or if he/she is not satisfied with the decision taken on his/her complaint, the case may be brought to a court of law for adjudication. Decision by the court will be the final decision.

Decision on solving the complaints must be sent to the aggrieved APs and concerned parties and must be posted at the office of the People’s Committee where the complaint is solved. After three days, the decision/result on solution is available at commune/ward level and after seven days at district level. In order to minimize complaints to the provincial level, PMU will cooperate with the District Resettlement Committee to participate in and consult on settling complaints.

11.2. Other PersonnelPersonnel: The Environmental and Resettlement staff assigned by PMU will

formulate and maintain a database of the APs’ grievances related to the Project including information such as nature of the grievances, sources and dates of receipt of grievances, names and addresses of the aggrieved PAPs, actions to be taken and current status. In case of verbal claims, the reception board will record these inquiries in the grievance form at the first meeting with affected people.

The Independent Monitoring Consultant will be responsible for checking the procedures for and resolutions of grievances and complaints. The independent monitoring Consultant may recommend further measures to be taken to redress unresolved grievances. During monitoring the grievance redress procedures and reviewing the decisions, the independent monitoring agency should closely cooperate with the Vietnam Fatherland Front as well as its members responsible for supervising law enforcement related to appeals in the area.

The grievance resolution process for the Project, including the names and contact details of Grievance Focal Points and the Grievance Facilitation Unit (GFU), will be disseminated through information brochures and posted in the offices of the People’s Committees at the communes and districts and PMU.

At the same time, an escrow account for resettlement payments should be used when grievance is resolving to avoid excessive delay of the project while ensuring compensation payment after the grievance has been resolved.

To ensure that the grievance mechanism described above are practical and acceptable by APs, it were consulted with local authorities and communities taking into account of specific cultural attributes as well as traditional-cultural mechanisms for raising and resolving complaints and conflicting issues. The ethnic minority objects and



efforts were also identified and determined which are culturally acceptable ways to find the solution.

The affected people will be exempted of all fees related to administrative and legal procedures. The court grievances are also free to log the documents. All the documents and records of grievances will be stored in subproject implementation records by PPMU, CARB, and People’s Committees of all executive levels.

In order to ensure that grievance redress mechanism aforementioned is feasible and accepted by subproject affected people, this mechanism was presented and consulted with the local governments and residents, included the considerations of distinctive cultures and traditions in presenting and redressing grievances and conflicts.

13. MONITORING AND EVALUATION13.1. Monitoring

Monitoring is a continuous evaluation process of the project implementation which is related to the unified implementation schedule on the use of the project inputs, infrastructures and services. Monitoring provides concerned agencies with continuous reflections on the implementation status. Monitoring determines the reality, successful possibility and arising difficulties as soon as possible to facilitate the due adjustment in the project implementation.

Monitoring includes 2 following purposes:(i) Monitor whether the project activities complete efficiently or not, including

quantity, quality and time. (ii) Assess whether these activities reach the objectives and purpose of the Project or

not, and how much do they reach. The executive agency (the PMU) as well as the independent monitoring

Consultants which are contracted with the CPO shall monitor and supervise the RAP implementation regularly..

14. COST ESTIMATION AND BUDGET14.1. Budget

All the compensation, assistance and resettlement costs of the subproject, including implementation cost, are funded by counterpart budget of Quang Tri province.

14.2. Cost estimation

14.2.1. Compensation at replacement cost

Replacement cost survey was conducted to serve as a basis for identifying replacement costs for impacts on land/tree/crop/structure affected by the subproject. A replacement cost survey was carried out in 12 affected communes of the subproject. Total replacement cost questionnaires answered are 240 forms, in which, 221 forms are eligible (contains sufficient information) – qualifying rate of 92%. The total number of individuals participated in replacement cost survey is 221 people, randomly selected from the following groups:

- Officers at commune/precinct/town level: 45 people;- Subproject affected people: 74 people;- Subproject non-affected people: 63 people;- Local dealer (small dealers at local markets, wholesalers,…): 39 people.

The extracted results of replacement cost survey for 52 types of assets affected in 12 subproject communes contain 42 items with prices lower than the regulated prices by Quang Tri PPC, account for about 80%. On the other hand, 21 other items having higher prices than the regulated prices also show small differences in absolute number. The highest difference is at 21 percent, but equivalent to only 2,600 dong.

As a result, after discussions with local government and communities in public consultations, in order to maintain the uniformity and transparency of compensation prices for affected assets, the prices as regulated by Quang Tri province are proposed to be applied. Specifically, the regulating documents are:

- Decision number 17/2016/QĐ-People’s committee of dated 11/05/2016 by People’s Committee of Quang Tri Province issuing periodical land prices for 05 years (2015-2019) in Quang Tri province;

- Decision number 51/2016/QĐ-People’s committee of dated 20/12/216 by People’s Committee of Quang Tri Province issuing prices for houses, infrastructures and prices for trees and crops in Quang Tri province.An updated replacement cost survey will be conducted at the time of RAP update

to identify replacement cost at the time of land acquisition. If significant differences emerge, a more appropriate set of replacement cost will be prepared to protect entitlements of the affected people.



14.3. Cost estimation for compensation, assistance and resettlementTotal costs of compensation, assistance and resettlement of the subproject include:

(i) Costs of compensation, (ii) Costs of assistances, and (iii) Costs of implementation. Details on Cost estimation for compensation and assistance for each type of assets and entitled assistance are included in Appendix 2.
