Compensation: Cash or in-kind payment of the replacement cost of an asset lost due to project-related impacts.
Entitlement: Range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration, transfer assistance, income substitution, and relocation, which are due to affected people, depending on the nature of their losses, to restore their economic and social base.
Host Population: Community residing near the area where the APs are relocated.
Income Restoration: Reestablishment of income sources and livelihoods of APs.
Involuntary Resettlement: Full or partial, permanent or temporary physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land or shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a consequence of development projects, compelling APs to rebuild their lives, incomes and asset bases.
Land Acquisition: The process whereby a person is compelled by a government agency to relinquish their land or land use rights to the government (i) for a public purpose and (ii) in return for compensation. This land may be either owned or possessed by the affected person.
Land Ownership: article 3.1.2. of Law on Land – “to own land” means to be in legitimate control of land with the right to dispose of this land. Land is given to all Mongolian citizens, regardless of age and sex, one time free of charge until 1 May 2028. The size of land parcels allocated for ownership for family needs vary depending on location. In the Capital city – Ulaanbaatar and along the national level main roads connecting aimags with Ulaanbaatar, individuals are entitled to up to 0.07 hectares, in the aimag centers up to 0.35 hectares, and in soum centers and villages up to 0.5 hectares land parcels, respectively. The size of land parcels for commercial use depends on the type of activities (agricultural, industrial, etc.) and decided based on the size of existing land parcel under possession, if applicable, and scope and nature of the business. The land ownership right for commercial use is obtained by purchasing the land directly from the state or through auctioning.
Land Possession: article 3.1.3. of Law on Land – “to possess land” means to be in legitimate control of land in accordance with purpose of its use and terms and conditions specified in respective contracts. The land possession right can be obtained only by the citizens and legal persons of Mongolia. The respective local governors make the decision for provision of land possession rights. The land possession rights are provided for 15–60 years, with possible extension of 40 years. The size of land plot for land for possession is up to 0.07 ha for household residential use. The size of land for commercial purposes depends on the type of activities and is set in the contract between the state and land possessor. In current practice, the state, as the owner of the land, provides land possession rights to the interested Mongolian persons. Land possession right is transferable and can be used as collateral as well.
Land Use: article 3.1.3. of Law on Land – “to use land” means to undertake a legitimate and concrete activity to make use of some of the land’s characteristics in accordance with contracts made with owners and possessors of land. Land use rights can be given to Mongolian citizens, companies and organizations or foreign countries, international organizations, foreign legal persons, companies with foreign investment, foreign citizens and stateless persons for specific purpose, duration, conditions and under contract. Land use rights for the foreign citizens and stateless persons (who reside in Mongolia for more than 183 days) can be provided only for family residence purpose through auctioning by the respective local governor. The duration for such rights shall be for 5 years and is renewable for 5 years at a time. Provision of land use rights for specific period of time for foreign countries, international organizations, and foreign legal persons under leasing and concession agreement shall be decided by the Parliament of Mongolia. The boundaries and procedures of use shall be set by the Government of Mongolia. As for the companies with foreign investment, the land use rights shall be provided in accordance with the law and in this case the Government of Mongolia decides the duration of the tenure.
Rehabilitation: Compensatory measures provided under the ADB Policy Framework on Involuntary Resettlement other than payment of the replacement cost of acquired assets.

Servitude (easement): A restriction or obligation attached to a property that entitles somebody other than the owner to a specific use of it such as the right to cross it or occupy it temporarily for maintenance of utility services.
Social Preparation: Process of consultation with APs undertaken before key resettlement decisions are made, to build their capacity to deal with resettlement.
Subcenters: are clusters of public facilities and businesses (often) with an associated transport hub. Generally, they are characterized by urban settlement around public infrastructure built during the Soviet period and new public facilities built more recently by government and donor programs (for example khoroo offices, police stations, schools and kindergartens). Their sphere of influence is from 30,000 to more than 100,000 people. Residential areas surround the core of subcenter and consist mostly of individual residential structures on large plots, although in some areas a densification process of sorts has started by the division of plots and the construction of multifamily houses.
Temporary Land Use Impacts: When land outside the proposed ROW is required temporarily to carry out construction, persons may be affected in terms of temporary land loss, damage to attachments or disruption of living or business conditions, for which compensation or mitigation is required to offset such impacts.
Usufruct: The right to use and profit from land belonging others or a larger social entity, such as a tribe, community of collective.
Vulnerable Groups: Distinct group of people (poor, elderly, disabled and female headed households) who may suffer disproportionately from resettlement impacts.

I. INTRODUCTION
1. This updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for Dambadarjaa subcenter heating plant under the Tranche 2 of Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program (GADIP) is prepared in accordance with applicable laws of Mongolia, Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009, and the updated Resettlement Framework (RF), March 2020. ADB loan funds will be used for implementing the resettlement provisions for this subproject. See figure 1 for the location of GADIP subcenters, and figure 2 for location of the heating plant in the Dambadarjaa subcenter. 2. This updated LARP is agreed upon between the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB) and ADB. 3. The Program. Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program aims to improve the quality and coverage of urban infrastructure and basic services, and to implement a sustainable and inclusive process of urban development in Ulaanbaatar's middle ger areas0
1. It is expected to directly benefit 400,000 people living in the middle ger areas and to indirectly benefit the entire population of Ulaanbaatar. The expected impact of the investment program will be improved living conditions in Ulaanbaatar. The expected outcome will be a sustainable, inclusive, and well-structured development of ger areas in Ulaanbaatar. GADIP is funded through a multitranche financing facility (MFF) lending modality totaling up to $320 million over a period of 10 years and will be comprised of three tranches. 4. Tranche 2 is in line with the program objectives to create a network of liveable, competitive, and inclusive subcenters in Ulaanbaatar’s ger areas, with similar outputs to the tranche 1. The two subcenters covered under Tranche 2 are Dambadarjaa and Denjiin Myanga which are located in the central and middle ger areas in the northern part of Ulaanbaatar. Dambadarjaa subcenter is located in the territories of 16 and 17 khoroos of Sukhbaatar district, in the northern part of Ulaanbaatar and has an area of 70.7 hectares, hosts approximately 1,145 khashaas, see figure 1. Location Map of GADIP subcenters. 5. The Dambadarjaa subcenter is located in the territories of 16 and 17 khoroos of Sukhbaatar district and has an area of 70.7 hectares, hosts approximately 1,145 khashaas. Within the Dambadarjaa subcenter the construction of roads (2.8 km, width 12-24m), 63MW heating plant and heating network with 7 substations (5.6km, pipes with diameters D100mm – D350mm), water supply network (3.5km, pipes with diameters D150mm-D300mm), sewerage network (4.5km, pipes with diameters D2000mm-D3000mm), telecommunications (one telecommunications center and 6.3 km optical cable with manholes and pipes) and electricity networks (cable lines of 10Kv/0.4Kv of 12km length and 1 substation) will be carried out.
6. Dambadarjaa heating plant. The plant is located in the 19th khoroo of Chingeltei district, about 500m to the east from the Dambadarjaa subcenter area. The heating plant, indicated in blue polygon in the lower left corner on figure 2, is located outside the actual boundary of Dambadarjaa subcenter, as the location needs to be further away from the Selbe river and due to the suggested area being suitable as per the detailed design. The heating plant will have three coal fuelled water boilers with total of 63MW capacity. The plant will consist of main building, coal storage, water treatment system, main control building, coal handling system, chimney, gas and ash handling
1 There are three types of ger areas: (i) Central Ger Areas are located around the city’s built core and where the
potential for access to water, roads, and solid waste collection is highest. They are characterized by modern style buildings, which are replacing the traditional gers, and developing microenterprises as household incomes and savings increase. (ii) Middle Ger Areas are located around the Central Ger Areas and whose inhabitants depend on water from tankers and use pit latrines. These areas have intricate streets that are difficult to access and are prone to flooding because of lack of drainage—with conditions worsening during the winter months. (iii) Peri-Urban Ger Areas surround the Middle Ger Areas and are expanding at an accelerating pace. They have the least access to basic infrastructure and services. Inhabitants of these areas mainly rely on tanked water supply, simple pit latrines, and are built on or along hazardous sites near high-tension lines, natural drainage channels, or steep slopes.
system, workshop, ignition oil system, drainage and sewerage system, plant roads and office building. The total area needed for the plant is about 20,000m2, and the footprint of the heating plant’s buildings is 8,595 m2.
II. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS
7. Based on discussions with the PMO engineers, detailed technical design and environmental consultants, the area needed, and possible locations for the heating plant was identified. The total area needed for the heating plant is approximately 22,000m2 and the possible location was identified in the 19th khoroo of Chingeltei District, along the main road to north leading to the summer camp area and to the east leading to Dambadarjaa area. 8. PMO has informed the need for land for the heating plant at the public consultation meetings held during May – Jun 2019 and conducted willingness survey among landowners of 19th khoroo of Chingeltei district in Jan 2020 to identify, if there are a group of landowners, willing to negotiate and provide their land for the heating plant, refer to section VII. Consultation, Participation and Disclosure for details of the consultations. Following the information at the public meetings and willingness survey, 41 landowners came together and expressed willingness to provide their land, total of 19,040m2, to MUB for heating plant. Thus, the selection of the site was finalized based on the landowners’ willingness to provide their land within the area identified by the engineers and environmental specialists. The total area of the land parcels the landowners are willing to provide is 19,040m2. The public street area in between the land parcels is about 3,000m2, which makes the total area for construction of heating plant to be about 22,000m2. See Annex 1: LAR map of Heating Plant for the land parcels to be provided by the landowners. 9. A socio-economic survey (SES) of affected households (AHs), valuation of their land and properties were conducted between May – July 2020 and May - June 2021. The project and cut-off date announcement was provided to the AHs on 3 Jul 2020, see Annex 2: Project and Cut-off Date Announcement. However, the LAR activities did not proceed due to lack of funds within MUB, caused by the worldwide pandemic COVID-19, and the provision of compensation was delayed. The long wait for payment of compensation resulted in affected households’ (AHs) complaints to ADB’s Office of the Special Project Facilitator (OSPF) and was considered an eligible complaint. Revaluation of the land and properties were conducted during May – Jun 2021, due to the price increases of construction materials caused by COVID-19. Based on the results of the surveys, valuation and detailed technical design, an assessment of the land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) impacts for Dambadarjaa Heating Plant was carried out. 10. 41 land parcels are affected, all will be acquired fully. There are total of 50 affected households (AHs), 35 reside on the affected land parcels, which includes 9 affected households who are occupants without land rights, and 15 affected households live elsewhere. There are 136 people living in these 35 AHs. Total of 449 structures are affected, of which 41 are residential houses, including 7 summerhouses. No business entities or state organizations are affected. The overall LAR impacts are shown in Table 1 below. The details of LAR impacts are provided in the sub-sections below.

2. Affected Households Without Land Rights
13. There are 9 AHs – occupants of land without land rights3. All these 9 households live on the land parcel of land tenure holders and do not have any land rights. All these AHs live on fully affected residential land parcels, they live on the land free of charge without paying any rent. Most of these AHs are close relatives of the landowners such as parents, children, siblings, and one of the AHs is a distant relative. All of the AHs have registered as a separate household at the khoroo administration.These households lived on the affected land parcels from 2 to 21 years. All AHs have incomes consisting of monthly salaries and some of the households have, in addition, income from monthly pensions and allowances. The AHs plan to either to move to another place together with the landowners, or buy a land to resettle, and two of the AHs have planned to move to countryside. All of the AHs do not own a house on the affected land, couple of these AHs has entrance structure to a ger and a barn. Table 4 below provides the list AHs without land rights and details on their relationship to the landowner, income and its sources, and where they plan to move.
2 The minimum subsistence level in Ulaanbaatar is MNT238,700 for 2021. This was determined by the resolution No.
A/22, from 18 January 2021, of the head of National Statistics Office of Mongolia. 3 Occupant of land without land rights includes two types of households, (i) AHs who live on public lands without official
permission, and (ii) AHs who live on the land plot of land tenure holders and who do not have any land rights, and includes AHs who are children, siblings, relatives, acquaintances, and lessees of the land tenure holders. To verify and determine the occupants of land without land rights that live on the land plot of land tenure holders as being separate households, the following will be used: (i) “Population & Household Registration Book” and official letter of reference by the Khoroo Administration; and (ii) Residential address on the national identification card with the affected land plot address.

VI. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND IMPLEMENTATION
36. The Mayor of MUB has the overall responsibility for policy and coordination of the program implementation as the chairman of the GADIP Steering Committee (SC). The First Vice Mayor for the development policy of MUB is the Director of GADIP, and has the responsibility for program implementation, support and monitor the PMO activities. A program management office (PMO) was established in July 2014 by the order of MUB Mayor. The MUB, with support from the PMO and Land Management Agency (LMA) will ensure compliance with assurances, including safeguards and preparation, updating and implementation of LARPs and preparation of DDRs. The PMO is supported by consultant teams, including specialists in land acquisition and resettlement, to ensure the effective implementation of project related land acquisition and resettlement activities. The roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders involved in the land acquisition and resettlement process is presented in Figure 8 below.

37. Compared to Institutional arrangements and implementation set in the RF, this LARP will be implemented as per responsibilities set in Figure 8 above. In the RF the responsibilities (i) to prepare the draft Governor’s decree according to the negotiations, (ii) to review and comments on draft Governors decree; (iii) to prepare the payment order according to confirmed contract made with APs and submit to Treasury Division of MUB and transfer of compensation to AHs account were under the LMA, however now these responsibilities are under PMO. Also, the responsibilities
of (i) conclusion of contract with AHs according to Governor’s decree and collection of supplementary documents as appendixes of the contract, and (ii) Confirmation of contract were under the responsibility of LMA, but now these are shared responsibilities of LMA and PMO. The responsibilities of Governor’s Office/Municipality (i) monitoring on whether contract components are complete, request of funding from Ministry of Finance and transfer of the funding to LMA account is changed to “review the payment order and supplementary documents”, as the contract components are now double checked at PMO and LMA, and the funding request is not necessary as LAR funds for this LARP will be transferred at once from Ministry of Finance to GADIP account through MUB treasury. 38. The changes in the responsibilities of the key stakeholders particular to the Tranche 2 subprojects, including Dambadarjaa Heating Plant, were necessary, because the LAR funds are being provided from ADB loan proceeds, as per MUB request, due to MUB’s budget deficit caused by COVID-19. Thus the responsibilities of the key stakeholders were reviewed and changed.
39. For the Tranche 2 related LAR activities, a resettlement specialist and two land acquisition and resettlement assistants have been hired within the PMO. The PMO resettlement staff will work closely with the land managers of the LMA in the planning, implementation of this LARP. The PMO resettlement staff, with support from consultant teams’ LAR specialists will (i) ensure that resettlement safeguard requirements are met in the formulation and implementation of the LARP, and (ii) ensure LAR safeguard compliance and submission of a satisfactory LARP to MUB and ADB for review and concurrence prior to any resettlement implementation and the commencement of civil works. 40. In accordance with the agreed RF, a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Working Group (LAR WG) for the Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 has been established by the Mayor’s resolution A/192 in February 2020. The LAR WG is responsible for the overall management and supervision of the LAR activities for all the subprojects, and for timely decisions for LAR issues. The First Vice Mayor of MUB in charge of development policy is the chairman. The secretary is the Coordinator of GADIP’s PMO. The members are comprised of relevant district governors, officials of LMA, municipal water supply, road, state registration departments, Office of the Mayor, Capital city – Ulaanbaatar Housing Corporation, Capital city – Ulaanbaatar Property Use and Management Department, and representatives of APs. The LAR WG will have quarterly meetings to discuss the progress of LAR activities and any pending issues, and provide support to the LMA and PMO. Where necessary, LAR WG will have more meetings by the request of LMA and PMO on urgent issues that need immediate decisions and actions. The implementation of the LARP will be the responsibility of the LMA, under the guidance of LAR WG and with close coordination and support of the PMO.
VII. CONSULTATION, PARTICIPATION AND DISCLOSURE 41. Public and individual consultations with AHs in Dambadarjaa subcenter for the heating plant were organized throughout Jan 2020 – Jun 2021. Initially, the PMO reached out to the residents of 19th khoroo of Chingeltei district to determine potential areas for the location of the heating plant. For this, a willingness survey was conducted from 20 to 27 Jan 2020. Table 9 willingness survey provides the results of the survey, for each of the three locations. After the surveys, the 3rd location was chosen as potential area, where the most number of landowners agreed to provide their land, based on negotiations, for the heating plant, see Annex 5: Willingness survey map for locations for which the survey was carried out. Based on the results of the willingness survey, PMO, in consultation with the design engineers, determined the 3rd location as suitable, as in this area all landowners expressed willingness to provide their land and as this area was suitable from the technical design perspective.

Don't know 3 4 42. After the willingness survey, the LAR activities could not be carried out as nationwide lockdown was imposed since end of Jan 2020 and any public activities restricted until Apr 2020. Starting from Apr 2020, the LAR activities resumed as individual meetings were allowed by the MUB Emergency Commission, but public meetings involving many people were still not allowed. Thus individual meetings and consultations with the AHs started. The PMO staff reached out, i.e. visited each of the AHs, to the AHs and obtained their request related to the LAR, see Annex 6: Landowners request, total of 37 AHs provided their requests related to LAR, 32 of them in Apr 2020 and 5 in Jun 2021. The requests confirmed the willingness of the landowners to provide their land for the project, requested more detailed information on the LAR, valuation, requested to agree on land price of MNT80,000 per m2 similar to Selbe subcenter or higher, requested to compensate for all structures on the affected land including sheds, wooden toilets, wastewater pit, trees etc., and couple of AHs expressed to wait and see how much will be the total compensation amount and if agreeable then will be willing to provide their land. All the requests were collected and answers were provided during the public consultation meeting held on 4 Jul 2020. 43. As the COVID-19 impacts were still in place and as it looked to stay for uncertain time in the future, PMO and AHs discussed and agreed to create a Facebook group for timely and direct communications and consultations, as at least one member of the AHs used Facebook. Damba ded tuv 2 (Дамба дэд төв 2) Facebook group was created in Apr 2020, see Figure 9: Facebook Group below. This Facebook group includes the AHs from the Dambadarjaa Heating Plant, and some of the AHs from the road project in Dambadarjaa subcenter. PMO has been communicating with the AHs using this Facebook group to provide information on GADIP and updates on LAR activities, and it was used as a platform for the AHs to put their questions and clarifications.
Figure 9: Facebook Group
44. Public meetings were still not allowed by the MUB Emergency Commission in Apr 2020. However, LAR activities continued with individual meetings and consultations. During Apr – Jun 2020, the SES and valuation of affected land and structures were carried out. Then, after completion of the valuation, public consultation meeting was organized on 4 Jul 2020 at the Citizens hall of 14th khoroo of Sukhbaatar district. Total of representatives of 29 AHs or 16 female and 13 male participants attended the meeting, see Annex 7: Participants of Public Consultation Meeting, which provides the list and photo of participants. At the meeting information on (i) GADIP and its progress and the planned roads, infrastructures and social facilities; (ii) detailed information on ADB’s LAR safeguard policy and principles, RF, eligibility and entitlements, compensation valuation (full replacement value) and GRM and Mongolian legislation, (iii) detailed information on the LAR implementation procedures, and (iv) Skills development project were provided. 45. The main issues and concerns that were raised by the APs during the public consultation meetings are as follows:
(i) In general, the participants are supportive of the GADIP. (ii) The participants were interested about the timeline of the LAR activities, how long
does it take to negotiate, the issuance of Governor’s order, in case of agreement, when the compensation payment will be made, when the AHs has to move out of the land etc.
(iii) The participants clarified what are the steps/procedures for the LAR, the compensation and valuation. Especially, the participants were interested in how the valuation is carried out and what will be the value of their compensation, and if all man-made structures and trees etc. will be compensated.
(iv) The participants clarified if compensation will be provided on land without land rights and for structures built on the land without land rights.
(v) The participants clarified what happens if the one or few of the AHs refuse to provide their land.
(vi) All the participants wanted to know how much is the compensation in their particular cases.

46. In response to the issues and concerns raised by the APs, the resettlement specialists from the GADIP consulting team and PMO, have explained in detail that LAR will be implemented in accordance with the relevant legislation of Mongolia and ADB SPS and procedures. Also, the procedures and timelines for LAR implementation were explained in detail. The main concern expressed by the APs during the individual as well as public consultations were the compensation valuation for land and structures. It was clarified that the compensation valuation will be based on full replacement value and emphasized that one of ADB’s main principles is negotiated and mutually agreed LAR and that the existing LAR practice and legislation of Mongolia is based on the negotiated agreement, therefore APs will be able to negotiate and agree on the issues related to LAR with MUB. Also, it was informed that each AP will be provided with the details of their compensation valuation and that they will be given sufficient time to consider the proposed compensation and discuss among themselves as well. 47. After the public consultation meeting held on 4 Jul 2020, the budget for LAR compensation for Dambadarjaa Heating Plant was not allocated to PMO by MUB, due to MUB budget deficit caused by COVID-19. PMO organized number of meetings with MUB officials and sent official requests, including the First Deputy Mayor of MUB and Project Director. However, the COVID-10 impacts were severe and no budget could not be allocated to GADIP for LAR compensation for 2020 and 2021, as revealed discussions with MUB. This unexpected situation and delay of LAR activities was explained to and notified the AHs by PMO with official letters and through individual meetings in Jul and Aug 2020, see Annex 8: Official Letters to Affected Households. 48. PMO and MUB informed of this situation ADB, and MUB and ADB agreed to provide the LAR compensation for the Tranche 2 subprojects from ADB loan. This was an extraordinary decision by ADB to support MUB to overcome the difficulties caused by COVID-19 and implement the LAR activities on timely manner, so the constructions works are carried out within the Tranche 2 timeframe. Based on this decision, PMO was able to re-start the LAR activities starting from May 2021, after another strict lockdown due to COVID-19, which was effective from Feb – Apr 2021. The LAR activities started with revaluation of the affected structures as the construction materials costs has increased due to COVID-19, and based on the revaluation the individual meetings and negotiation took place in Jun 2021. The negotiations with the AHs on the compensation have been completed by 30 Jun 2021. More consultations on livelihood support activities are planned to continue in Jul 2021. During the implementation of the resettlement plan, a series of public participation and consultation activities will be carried out to ensure that the information on land acquisition and resettlement is fully disclosed and the grievances and concerns of AHs are fully reflected. While the Facebook group will continue to play a very critical too in communicating with the affected persons on the implementation of resettlement provisions, the PMO is very keen that face-to-case consultations be initiated once the current COVID-19 situation improves. In the event of any continued restrictions due to COVID-19 outbreak or other unforeseeable phenomena, virtual meetings (videoconference, telephone calls,) will be carried out. The PMO and concerned agencies will strictly adhere to social distancing, wear protective masks/equipment during in-person meetings in line with government protocols and guidelines.
VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
49. The MUB has established a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for GADIP to support the affected persons on problems arising from land acquisition and resettlement and associated impacts and provide means by which the various stakeholders may be consulted and negotiated agreement reached, paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups. The GRM for Dambadarjaa Heating Plant is part of the GADIP GRM and it functions following the principles and procedures set in the RF, refer to section VII. Grievance Redress Mechanism of RF. 50. Due to the deficit of MUB budget for LAR compensation and consequent delays of LAR activities, caused by the COVID-19 impacts, on 28 Dec 2020, four AHs, supported by two nongovernment organizations (NGOs) lodged a complaint with the Office of the Special Project Facilitator (OSPF). The complaint raised issues on (i) delayed payment of compensation to nontitle
holders – occupant of land without land rights, (ii) land and property valuation, (iii) land acquisition and compensation, (iv) lack of reliable and meaningful consultation, and (v) ineffective project grievance mechanism. Through meetings and discussions with OSPF’s local facilitator, it became clear that the complainants requested OSPF to assist in resolving the following negative impacts:
“The same house sections of some complainants have been valued differently and did not follow the memorandum of understanding (MOU) previously facilitated by OSPF and signed by the MUB, the PMO, NGOs, and the complainants.
Compensation payments have been delayed and peoples’ lives were interrupted from Dec 2019 until Sep 2020 even after packing all belongings and waiting to move.
Claims of nontitle holders have not been resolved as agreed previously in the MOU. ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement was violated when MUB and PMO only offered
cash compensation without any other forms of support or assistance. The land acquisition process was carried out in a haphazard, unplanned, and
nontransparent manner. “Absence due to COVID-19 has been used to cut resettlement compensation etc.”
(excerpt from the complaint form).
51. Upon making the complaint eligible, OSPF local facilitator worked with the parties between Jan-Jun 2021 to resolve the complaints issued through dialogue. A project working group, headed by the deputy coordinator of the PMO, was established on 26 Jan 2021. Series of meetings have been held with the parties including MUB, PMO, NGOs, ADB project team and complainants. The following key actions have been taken to address the complaints issues:
(i) Study on the market rate of the construction materials have been carried out by the appraiser in Apr - May 2021;
(ii) Order #93 on approving the 2020 price index for the construction facilities have been issued by the Minister of Construction and Urban Development on 16 Aprl 2021; which enabled the increase of affected structures valuation carried out in 2019, which resulted the compensation increase at 1.17 price index.
(iii) Official reference letters have been taken from the Khoroo administrations regarding the dispute on separate households.
52. Based on above-mentioned documents, case specific negotiations have been facilitated by OSPF; and the last agreement has been signed on 7 June 2021. The number of negotiation meetings with one complainant ranged from 3-5. The parties agreed to pay the compensation by 10 July 2021 and the OSPF is monitoring the implementation. As a result of this problem-solving process, not only 4 complainants’ but also all 188 households’ (about 220 households including non-title holders) compensation shall be increased at 1.08 to 1.17 price index, depending on type of materials, which will result increased compensation package to all AHs of Dambadarjaa subcenter.
IX. COMPENSATION STANDARDS AND LIVELIHOOD SUPPORT ASSISTANCE
53. This section presents the compensation standards for each type of loss as well as transaction and relocation costs. It also presents the rehabilitation strategy regarding households that may be vulnerable. 54. The compensation rates used for land and structures are based on the valuation of the certified property appraiser in accordance with Mongolian Valuation Standards and International Valuation Standards. Appraisal activities were carried out in Jun 2020 and Jun 2021. The compensation appraisal was first carried out in May-Jun 2020, but re-appraisal was carried out in May-Jun 2021, due to increase in the price of construction materials caused by the impacts of COVID-19. Compared to the appraisal carried out in May-Jun 2020, the compensation appraisal of the structures increased at 1.17 price index. This was presented and explained to each of the AHs and AHs accepted the increase in the compensation. Annex 9: Compensation Negotiation Document provides an example of compensation valuation from Jun 2020 and increased
23
23
compensation valuation from Jun 2021. The compensation package for all the AHs, as set in the subsections A – D are calculated and budgeted for each AHs, see Annex 10: Compensation calculations of Affected Households. These calculations provide the price index increase for each type of structures. A. Compensation Standard for Land
55. The market price of land in the Dambadarjaa Heating Plant area is approximately MNT40,000, which is estimated by certified property appraiser. During the negotiations with the landowners expressed willingness to provide their land for MNT80,000 or higher per m2, similar to the compensation prices provided to the AHs in Dambadarjaa subcenter’s Kindergarten and Selbe subcenter area, see Annex 6: Landowners Request for the request of landowners to set the compensation value for land at MNT80,000 per m2. During the negotiations with the AHs, in Jun 2020 and 2021, LMA and PMO agreed with the AHs-landowners that the compensation value for land is MNT80,000 per m2. This agreement is based on the Governor’s Order for Acquisition of Citizens Land with Compensation, see Annex 11 which ordered LMA and PMO to organize the LAR as per the ADB SPS through negotiated agreement. B. Compensation Standard for Structures
56. For each type of affected structures, full replacement costs were estimated by the certified property appraiser. The full replacement cost for the structures include the current market rates for purchasing new materials, costs for transportation, machinery and labor, and all other costs that will occur to replace the lost structure. The detailed account of compensation rate, re-appraised to consider the price increase due to COVID-19 impacts (see paragraph 54 above), for each type of affected structures is provided in Table 10 Compensation rates for structures.

C. Compensation Standard for Transaction Costs
57. All transaction costs will be covered by the subproject. This means that where AHs are being supported in the formalization of their land tenure, or where they are relocating to a new plot or housing, or where there is a change in their land parcels, all the fees associated with these processes will be provided as lump sum. This includes any fees for the preparation of cadastral maps, issuance of cadastral maps, issuance of land possession certificates, issuance and registration of land title certificate or other required service fees. Also, in the case of relocation, all government charged transaction costs related to acquisition of new housing/land will be provided as lump sum and included in the negotiation agreement. The following rates for these fees apply:
(i) Cadastral surveying and mapping MNT50,000. (ii) Cadastral map issuance fee MNT2,500. (iii) Land tenure certificate by LMA - possession MNT20,000 (iv) Registration of the land titles by General Authority for State Registration (GASR) for
possession right MNT10,000. (v) For registration of the land titles by GASR for ownership right no fee, if this first-time
registration and MNT8,000 if the registration is to make changes (change of size, address, additional information etc.) to the land ownership title then MNT 8,000.
(vi) Registration of immovable property selling and buying contract by GASR MNT20,000 will be paid.
(vii) For first time registration of immovable property, except land, by GASR, 0.01% of the immoveable property, e.g. apartment housing.
58. In case of Dambadarjaa heating plant subproject, all AHs are fully affected and all AHs opted for the option for cash compensation. Therefore, the AHs are expected to either buy a land parcel, with housing, or apartment housing, or will build a new housing on a land parcel or buy a new apartment housing. The registration costs for the land parcel with housing or registration of buying an apartment housing is MNT20,000 (see “vi” in paragraph 57). In case of new land parcel purchase and building a housing or in case of purchase of new apartment housing the registration fee is 0.01% of the price of the immovable property. For instance, in case of purchase of MNT200
25
25
million apartment housing or new housing, the cost will be MNT20,000. Also, in the case of new land parcel purchase additional cost for land tenure certificate and cadastral map issues will be MNT20,000 and MNT2,500, respectively. Thus, the highest cost for government charged transaction costs related to acquisition of new housing and/or land parcel will be MNT42,500. Thus the lump sum to be provided to the AHs is MNT42,500. This compensation will be presented to and agreed with AHs at the time of contract signing. and these costs are included in the compensation package of the AHs, see Annex 11: D. Relocation and Transitional Period Assistance
59. For all AHs an estimated moving cost of MNT250,000 will be provided. Also, for AHs that need to relocate their gers, an estimated moving cost of MNT250,000 will be provided. 60. Relocation and transitional period assistance for 6 months, amounting to 1,800,000 MNT (300,000 MNT/per month x 6 months) for all the AHs will be provided, as all AHs are fully affected and are relocating to another location. E. Livelihood Support Assistance
61. For 14 potentially vulnerable AHs, consultations are to be conducted by PMO during Jul 2021, to determine whether or not these households are vulnerable, and in case of households determined as vulnerable, discussion will be held to provide livelihood support measures, including skill development, support for business or employment opportunities and equipment provision. The budget for the livelihood support assistance is not allocated under this LARP. It will be allocated from the budget of Capacity Building for Sustainable Livelihood Support in Ger Areas project (TRTA MON 45007). Regarding the 9 AHs without land rights, 7 of them were identified as potentially vulnerable household, all of them will be entitled to livelihood support under the TRTA MON45007.
X. RELOCATION STRATEGY
62. The landowners and possessor AHs who are fully affected, are entitled to replacement plot with basic services in relocation site, as an alternative to cash compensation. The occupants of land without land rights are entitled to rental or rent-to-own housing in designated social housing. 63. All landowners and possessor AHs, 41 AHs, have chosen cash compensation, instead of replacement land parcel in Moringiin Davaa. During the negotiations, the occupants of land without land rights, 9 AHs, were informed about the possibility of relocation to social housing being built in Khanyn material area, close to the Bayankhoshuu subcenter, once it will be ready in the first-second quarter of 2022. Also, they were informed that until the social housing is ready, they can stay in temporary housing in Selbe subcenter. However, all expressed no interest in social housing and did not opt for this entitlement. The AHs – landowners are expected to vacate and move out of their land parcels within 14-21 days, after receipt of their compensation payments. As for the AHs without land rights – occupants of land without land rights, they have planned to move out at the same time with the landowners, 7 of these AHs are close relatives such as parents, children or siblings. They have planned to move into a new place, apartment housing or land parcel, together with the landowners or on their own. The 2 AHs, who are relatives, planned to move out of Ulaanbaatar to countryside in the provinces of Khentii and Tuv, for details on the relocations plans, see Table 4: Affected Households without land rights.
XI. BUDGET AND FINANCING
64. The total cost for implementation of this LARP is MNT3,431,224,736 (USD1,203,939). The PMO has received the LAR compensation budget from ADB through the Ministry of Finance and MUB. PMO is responsible for timely allocation of the compensation payment funds needed to implement LAR activities. The contingency is estimated at 10% of the LAR
compensation costs. No budget is allocated for external monitoring of LAR, as the budget for external monitoring is already allocated from other ADB sources.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO THE RESIDENTS OF 19th KHOROO OF CHINGELTEI DISTRICT
In order to resolve issues related to overconcentration in the center of the city, limited access and possibilities of ger area residents to socioeconomic services and healthy and safe living environment, “Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Area Development Investment Program” is being implemented step by step in accordance with the decision of the Government of Mongolia and MUB with soft loan funding provided by the Asian Development Bank and European Investment Bank. Within this program construction work for the heating station, kindergarten, vocational eduction and training center, and roads and infrastructure will be carried out in the Selbe, Bayankhoshuu, Dambadarjaa and Denjiin 1000 subcenters. The engineering, technical, social and economic solution was made to build the heatng station on the territory of 19th khoroos of Chingeltei district. Hereby, the compensation entitlement cut-off date is declared as of 03 July 2020 for the residents and organizations who were voluntarily requested to vacate their land and properties (land and immovable structures) with the compensation for the construction of the Right of Way (ROW) and thus directly affected by land acquisition and resettlement will be stopped for new settlement and construction of new structures in the ROW. By setting the cut-off date, it will be possible to correctly conduct the census of population and organizations in the ROW and accurately inventory their land and assets. This will enable to determine accurate and appropriate compensation and supports to the people and organizations, whose land will be acquired, based on the real market conditions and prices. Eligibility of persons residing and organizations running activities in the project area of the pipelines will only be granted for their affected land and structures located in the ROW of the infrastructure before the cut-off date. Any persons, organizations moving into and occupying land or constructing new or additional structures in the Right of Way of the infrastructure after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation and other required assistances and supports.

To: Dambadarjaa subcenter’s residents
Subject: Provide information of the program
Under the Tranche-2 of Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program, the planned works of Dambadarjaa subcenter has been implemented gradually.
Currently, the land acquisitions of the kindergarten and telecommunication center were completed and the negotiation meetings of the planned Heating station are being organized with the affected households.
Due to the shortage of approved MUB budget for the implementation of foreign funded projects in 2020, there is need to hold the land acquisition process until the budget amendment of 2020 or to transfer into the budget of 2021.
The Project Management Office submitted the required budget proposal to the Municipality (Capital City’s Governor’s Office) and shall inform to you as soon as the proposed budget is approved.
