Definition of Terms

Cut-off date – This refers to the date prior to which the occupation or use of the project area makes residents/users of the same eligible to be categorised as displaced people. The cut-off date will be determined by the City People’s Committee (CPC) and formally disclosed to affected persons at the time it is set in order to be effective. The conduct of the formal census and Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) should occur as close as practical to the setting of the cut-off date. Persons not covered in the census are not eligible for compensation and other entitlements, unless they can show proof that (i) they have been inadvertently missed out during the census and the DMS; or (ii) they have lawfully acquired the affected assets following completion of the census and the DMS.

Displaced Persons

– In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced people 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 livelihood) as a result of (i) involuntary expropriation of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. In the case of affected household, it includes all members residing under one roof and operating as a single economic unit, who are adversely affected by a project or any of its components.

Detailed Measurement Survey

– This activity involves the finalisation and/or validation of the results of the inventory of losses (IOL), severity of impacts, and list of displaced peoples earlier done during resettlement plan preparation. The final cost of resettlement can be determined following completion of the DMS.

Entitlement – Refers to a range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration support, transfer assistance, income substitution, relocation support, etc. which are due to the displaced peoples, depending on the type and severity of their losses, to restore their economic and social base.

Income restoration

– This is the re-establishment of sources of income and livelihood of the affected households.

Inventory of Losses

– This is the process where all fixed assets (i.e. lands used for 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 right-of-way 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 displaced peoples 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.

Relocation – This is the physical relocation of a displaced people from her/his pre-project place of residence and/or business.

Severely affected households

– This refers to affected households who will (i) lose 10% or more of their total productive land and/or assets, (ii) have to relocate; and/or (iii) lose 10% or more of their total income sources due to the Project.

Vulnerable groups

– These are distinct groups of people who might suffer disproportionately or face the risk of being further marginalised by the effects of resettlement and specifically include: (i) households headed by women with dependents, (ii) disabled household heads, (iii) households falling under the generally accepted indicator for poverty, (iv) children and the elderly households who are landless and with no other means of support, and (v) landless households, (vi) ethnic minorities.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Project Description and Rationale

1. The proposed sub-projects in Viet Tri City include the following roads: Phu Dong Road, Truong Chinh Road and Thuy Van Road. VT.1 Phu Dong Road This road aims to connect the urban areas to Noi Bai Lao Cai Expressway. The road is

currently under construction requiring additional financing for its development. Total length of road from connection with Truong Chinh Road to provincial road is 3.6 kilometers (km) with 2x3 lanes, including a pavement and middle road up to 60 meters (m) (refer to map 1). A portion of the road (0.5 km) from PPC road is also under construction which is included in the proposal. The road is four lanes, having a width of 50 m (refer to map 3).

VT.2 Truong Chin Road VT2.a Phu Dong road – National Dyke The first section connects Phu Dong Road to National Dyke. Total length is 1.1

km with 2x3 lanes, 60 m wide with middle strip and pavement (refer to map 1). VT2.b Phu Dong Road to National Road 2 The second section connects Phu Dong Road to National Road (NR) 2 (Thuy

Van Industrial Park. Total length is 3.3 km comprising of 2x2 lanes with middle strip. Total width is 50 m (refer to map 2).

VT.3 Thuy Van Industrial Zone VT3a: New road to NR 2 This is a new road that will connect to NR 2/Thuy Van Industrial Zone to facilitate

easy mobility and access to industrial areas. Total length is 1.9 km with 2x2 lanes without middle strip. Width is 40 m (refer to map 4).

VT3b: Thuy Van Industrial Zone and bridge within Thuy Van Industrial Zone This road will connect Thuy Van Industrial Zone and bridge. Total length is 2.0

km road 2x2 lanes without middle strip. Total width is 40 m (refer to map 4).

VT3c: Thuy Van Industrial Zone: Connection from Thuy Van to southern dyke

This road is a 2.6 km road with 2x2 lanes without middle strip. Width is 40 m (refer to map 4).

2. Overall, the proposed roads are intended to provide improved network and facility to facilitate mobility and access to basic resources. The City People's Committee (CPC) of Viet Tri

2

City is the executing agency of the proposed project. The subprojects are proposed for funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and have therefore to fully comply with the ADB safeguard policies. 3. A total of 732,000 square meters (m2) of land will be required for the subprojects. Of this, 241,000 m2 belong to Phu Dong road, 231,000 m2 belong to Truong Chinh road and 260,000 m2 to Thuy Van road. An aggregate area of 443,515.65 m2 belongs to private land. The remaining 246,366.65 m2 belong to public land comprising of irrigation, road and agricultural land.

4. A total of 1723 households will be affected by the Project. Of this, 55 will be relocated who would lose their housing structures and residential land. Another 129 households will experience marginally loss of residential land but will not be relocated. Another 891 households will lose privately owned agricultural/productive land only. In addition there are an estimated 648 households which will be displaced from a portion of commune owned agricultural land which they lease. 5. There are two categories of affected structures. Category 4 has an aggregate area of 5152 m2 and Category 3 has an aggregate area of 4,194 m2. These structures belong to 55 households that will be relocated and a portion of structures belonging to 129 households with partially affected structures. B. Legal and Policy Framework

6. The land acquisition, compensation and rehabilitation of project affected household will

3

be governed by the National laws, and of the ADB’s Policy Social Protection Statement and Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995). The policy of the Government of Vietnam (Government) on compensation, assistance and relocation has been improved significantly in recent years (Land law-2003; Decree 197-2004; Decree 84-2007, Decree 69/2009, etc.) and very close to the requirements of the ADB standards on involuntary resettlement. 7. The Project Compensation and Resettlement policy are guided by the following principles: (i) land acquisition should be minimized as much as possible, (ii) ensure that affected people receive compensation at full replacement values and with relocation assistance so that they will be at least as well off or at least in better condition as they would have been before the project took place.

8. The cut-off date of this project will be determined by the CPC in consultation with the Resettlement Committee and project management unit (PMU) and formally disclosed to affected persons at the time it is set in order to be effective. The conduct of the formal census and Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) should occur as close as practical to the setting of the cut-off date. Persons not covered in the census are not eligible for compensation and other entitlements, unless they can show proof that (i) they have been inadvertently missed out during the census and the DMS; or (ii) they have lawfully acquired the affected assets following completion of the census and the DMS. C. Project Entitlements

9. A fundamental objective of the Project resettlement policy is to replace and compensate lost assets based on the principle of replacement cost. Compensation and various forms of assistance will be provided and income restoration programs, as needed, will be put in place prior to the displacement of displaced peoples from their houses, land, and other assets, in a way that will ensure that their standards of living are at least restored to their pre-project levels, and that those in the category of vulnerable groups (such as poor households, ethnic minority households, etc.) are assisted to help improve their socioeconomic status. In addition to compensation at replacement cost, DPs will receive additional entitlements, incentives and assistance for PAPs that will lose their land and other assets. D. Participation and Grievance Redress

10. Two rounds of public consultation meetings were done participated by various stakeholders comprising of local officials, affected households, women, youth, and business sectors. Various approaches were utilized in participatory process which included key informant’s meeting, structured survey of households and informal group meetings. Keeping the displaced peoples informed and getting them involved will continue during the updating and implementation of the resettlement plan consistent with the project’s participatory approach. A grievance redress mechanism has been designed to ensure that the complaints and grievances of PAPs are addressed and resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. A grievance Committee will be established also in the communes where grievances can be dealt with more effectively by local people tasked to address the issues and concerns of affected households. After project approval, when the resettlement plan has been approved, a Public Information Booklet (PIB) will be prepared for dissemination to affected households on their rights and entitlement. The resettlement plan will be disclosed and be made available to the communes where affected households can have access to examine its contents.

E. Income Restoration and Relocation Strategies

11. Displaced people losing 10% or more of their productive assets and income sources will participate in an income restoration program that will developed as a collective effort of the displaced peoples, the executing agency, the relevant people’s committees, and the consultants during the updating of the resettlement plan following the approval of the project. 12. Displaced people losing entire houses are provided with cash compensation for housing structure and land at replacement cost. Additional benefits will include transport cost, removal cost, rehabilitation assistance, etc. as provided in Decision 3995/2009/QD-UBND. 13. Other displaced peoples with partially affected houses and/or land, productive assets will also receive cash compensation for their affected property, productive asset or residential land. All displaced peoples who will lose agricultural land will be provided with incentives and bonuses as additional benefits as provided in the project policy In Viet Tri, the rehabilitation assistance is 1.5 times the value of land to compensate to assist in livelihood restoration. The displaced peoples will not be displaced until after they have received in full the compensation and applicable allowances due to them and allowed sufficient time (minimum 3 months) in order to arrange alternative settlement. 14. Examining the distribution of severity of loss of productive land, it can be observed that overall more than half of displaced people’s households who will lose productive land will not experience a severe loss – that is 54% will lose less than 10% of their farming land. Having said this, there another two comments worthy of note. First, Thuy Van ward will see 83% of its displaced people’s households experiencing severe loss of more than 10% of their productive land holdings. Second, the commune with largest number of displaced people’s households losing productive land is Phung Lao commune where 323 households will be impacted by the land acquisition for Phu Dong road. Similarly, displaced peoples living in Phung Lao Commune will loss of another source for income and food with the loss of 31,751 m2 of land utilized for aquaculture. F. Institutional Arrangements

15. The CPC is the executing agency for Viet Tri projects with the Ministry of Planning as facilitator. The executing agency is overall responsible for the satisfactory implementation of resettlement. A Social and Resettlement Unit in the executing agency/PMU will be organized to collaborate with the city and district resettlement committees that the CPC of Viet Tri n will set up following approval of the subprojects. 16. The city and district resettlement committees, with guidance from the resettlement specialist of the project supervision consultant (PSC), will spearhead the updating of the draft resettlement plan. Said resettlement committees will likewise spearhead its implementation. The Vice Chairman of the City and District People’s Committees (DPCs) heads the resettlement committees. Members come from various departments and representatives of local organizations, including the displaced peoples. 17. The Project consultants will assist the executing agency and the resettlement committees in ensuring that the draft resettlement plan is prepared and implemented according to the project resettlement policy approved by the Government and the ADB. For this reason, the consultants will provide the necessary training and capacity-building interventions to the executing agency, the city and district resettlement committees.

5

18. Updating of the draft resettlement plan will commence following approval of detailed engineering design. An Independent Appraiser will be hired by the executing agency to conduct detailed assessment on replacement cost which will be used for compensation. The executing agency will submit the draft updated resettlement plan to the ADB for review and approval. Displacement of people from land, other assets, and sources of income and livelihood cannot commence until the updated resettlement plan has been reviewed and approved by the ADB Bank. Moreover, construction activities in a specific section of the proposed sub-projects cannot begin until compensation payment and relocation to new sites, as needed, for displaced peoples in said section have been satisfactorily completed, agreed rehabilitation assistance is in place, and that said section is free of all encumbrances. Below is an indicative schedule of the updating and implementation of the resettlement plan.

G. Monitoring and Evaluation

19. The executing agency will be responsible for internal monitoring of resettlement activities, ensuring that the draft resettlement plan is updated and implemented according to the approved project resettlement policy. The results of internal monitoring will be included in the monthly progress reports the executing agency will submit to the ADB. The executing agency will engage the services of an external monitoring organization (EMO) at the start of updating of the resettlement plan. The EMO will submit an inception report one month following its mobilization and quarterly reports on the updating and implementation of the draft resettlement plan. The external monitoring agency (EMA) will suggest corrective measures for any problems it identifies. The EMO will likewise conduct a Post-resettlement Evaluation Study 6–12 months after the completion of resettlement plan implementation. H. Resettlement Cost and Flow of Funds

20. The total resettlement costs for 1,723 households is estimated at VND 268,104,310,953 (approximately $13,405,216). The cost of resettlement will be finalized following the updating of the resettlement plan based on replacement cost following approval of the sub–projects. Overall, the costs include compensation and allowances, design and implementation of income restoration programs, operational/ administration expenses, internal and external monitoring and contingencies and cost of independent appraiser. The executing agency will provide the funds for resettlement in a timely manner. Funds for resettlement will be coursed through the City resettlement committee and its counterpart in the districts. Payment of compensation and allowances will be given to the displaced peoples in the office of the commune.

II. INTRODUCTION

A. Project Description and Rationale 21. The Vietnam Comprehensive Socio-Economic Urban Development Project – Viet Tri, Hung Yen and Dong Dang aims to develop Viet Tri, Hung Yen, and Dong Dang to complement Hanoi as northern Vietnam's economic centers and to contribute to the transformation of the North-South economic corridor (NSEC) from transport corridor to full-fledged economic corridor. The planned outcome of the project is improved urban infrastructure and municipal services in the project cities through investing in urban infrastructure construction and upgrading, and strengthening local governments' urban management capacities. The three project urban areas, (Viet Tri, Phu Tho province; Hung Yen, Hung Yen province; and Dong Dang, Lang Son province) are located along the NSEC outside Hanoi, and classified as secondary cities and towns in northern Vietnam. 22. Viet Tri has a good potential to be a logistics hub in northern Vietnam. It is the capital of Phu Tho province and located about 84 kilometer (km) to the north-west of Hanoi just outside the administrative border of Greater Hanoi.1 Viet Tri has sound access to various transport modes. Three rivers (Red River, Da River, and Lo River) meet at Viet Tri where they merge into Red River flowing to Hanoi. The city is located on the railway and expressway connecting the Noi Bai international airport and Lao Cai, a border town with People’s Republic of China. Distance from the Noi Bai international airport to Viet Tri is about 50 km. Strategic planning and investments in public infrastructure development and municipal service improvement is

1 Administrative area of Hanoi was substantially expanded to include the entire Ha Tay Province and Me Linh District

of Vinh Phuc Province.

7

inevitable for Viet Tri to grow as a regional logistics hub to serve for efficient distribution of goods. Project components for Viet Tri City include the following:

(i) Viet Tri urban roads. The project will complete the western part of the city ring road from the northern dyke road to the southern dyke road which accounts for about one-third of the total ring road, and build a new road from the Noi Bai-Lao Cai expressway to the city center. The new and improved roads will improve connections between the Noi Bai–Lao Cai expressway, Thuy Van Industrial Zone, and city center, as well as reduce traffic congestions in the central area by diverting the traffic from the National Road 2 to the city ring road. This component will include (a) Phu Dong Road (4.1 km connecting Noi Bai–Lao Cai expressway with the city center), (b) north-west section of the city ring road (4.4 km of Truong Chinh Road from the northern dyke road to Thuy Van Industrial Zone through Phu Dong Road), and (c) south-west section of the city ring road (6.5 km from Thuy Van Industrial Zone to the southern dyke). Overall, the proposed roads are intended to provide improved network and facility to facilitate mobility and access to basic resources.

(ii) Viet Tri solid waste management. The project will provide fleet and equipment

for solid waste collection and transfer. This component will help expand the coverage of solid waste collection from households and transport them to the dump site by increasing the current collection volume of 120 tons/day to 150 tons/day.

23. Land acquisition for the project in Viet Tri will only be required for the road components. The solid waste management component will be limited to the provision of equipment and capacity development with no impacts on land. Solid waste disposal will rely on existing landfills which are not associated with the project. 24. The dimensions and land requirements for the urban road components in Viet Tri are presented below:

(i) VT1 Phu Dong Road This road aims to connect the urban areas to Noi Bai-Lao Cai Expressway. The

B. Minimizing Involuntary Resettlement 27. Efforts to minimize displacement were carefully considered in the alignment selection for the proposed roads. For example, in Truong Chinh road, the original design proposed by the PMU for the expansion of Truong Chinh Road would cause the physical displacement of over 50 households. An alternative alignment option (Annex 1.1) was explored to minimize resettlement by deviating towards the south. However, an assessment with the ADB on this design showed that such an alternative alignment would affect a high voltage transmitter as well as adversely impact the overall aesthetics of the area. In addition, even if fewer households would be resettled with the proposed alternative design, the overall land acquisition as well as project costs would be significantly greater due to the additional road length that would be needed in order to connect the road with the city ring road. Likewise, from an urban system point of view, any alternative route is unsatisfactory compared to the one proposed by the CPC. Thus, the original design of the PMU was kept. 28. Alternative options and alignments to minimize resettlement impacts were likewise examined for the other proposed roads such as Phu Dong Road and Thuy Van Road. However, no viable alternative routes could be identified that would cause less resettlement impacts. 29. During detailed design and prior to finalizing the updated resettlement plan, the alignments and road designs will be further reviewed to ensure an optimum balance between viable project design and minimized resettlement impacts. The detailed design activities will be particularly pertinent in terms of defining the final width of the road cross section and corridor of impact as width of the road foundation will be heavily dependent on the final height required for the road. C. Background to the Preparation of the Resettlement Plan 30. The social assessment undertaken revealed that there are families, establishments and productive land that will be affected by the proposed urban road. The policies of both the Government and ADB require that for development project involving resettlement, a draft resettlement plan is to be prepared at the feasibility stage (or project preparation stage) which is to be updated at the detailed design stage prior to implementation. 31. This draft resettlement plan iterates the physical and socio-economic impacts resulting from the proposed land acquisition and presents mitigation measures to restore, if not improve, the material conditions and standards of livings of those affected as well as provide a means for their meaningful consultation and participation in the process. 32. The draft resettlement plan draws on the following bases of policies and legislation as well as sources of information:

(i) Government’s policies on land acquisition and compensation; (ii) ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009) and other related policies; (iii) Socioeconomic Survey (SES) of Affected Families, February 2011; (iv) Inventory of Losses (IOL), February 2011; (v) Results of consultations and focus group discussions.

III. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

A. Methodology 33. An IOL and census was conducted over the period 10–12 March 2011 to identify the magnitude of resettlement impacts simultaneously with a SES. The IOL obtained information on names of displaced peoples and all assets that are within the corridor of impact including productive and residential land, housing structures, business establishments, crops and other secondary structures (fences, wells, etc.). 34. Several methods were used to obtain the IOL. The basis of the IOL methodology was to overlay the project design drawings over local cadastral maps followed by visual surveys and measurement of the affected areas. An IOL survey questionnaire (Appendix 2.2) was conducted with each affected household (100% sample) for the wastewater and university road components. A master list of affected households and inventory of lost assets is presented as a separate volume accompanying this document (Appendix 2.3). 35. Information gathered through the IOL and SES were encoded, entered into electronic storage and analysed using social statistical software from which a data base on the IOL was produced. B. Summary of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts 36. The IOL revealed that an estimated total of 1,723 households will be displaced by the land acquisition of the project. A total of 116 households will experience the loss of house structures (either fully or partially) and a total of 184 households will lose residential land. Of those losing housing and residential land, a total of 55 will be required to relocate. While the others affected by loss of housing/residential land will have remaining viable land upon which to rebuild of repair their affected residences. There is a total of 891 households who will experience loss of privately owned productive agricultural land only. An estimated 648 households will be displaced from a portion of commune owned agricultural land which most lease from the Commune People’s Committee on a long term basis.

C. Impact on land 37. The total land requirement for the project is 732,000 m2. Of this, 443,515 m2 (61% of total) is privately owned land and 288,485 m2 is publically owned land. The publically owned land consists of 42,119 m2 public easements for irrigation and roads, and 246,367 m2 of

15

agricultural land which is under use as agricultural cooperative land. Of the total 443,515 m2 of affected private land, 195,666 (44%) belongs to displaced people in the Troung Chinh road area, 196,090 m2 (44%) belongs to those residing in the Phu Dong road area, and 51,758 m2 (12%) belongs to those in the Thuy Van Road area . A summary of impacts on public and private land by component is present in Table III.2 below.

D. Impacts on Agricultural/Productive Land 38. The overwhelming majority of affected private land is annual cropping land (principally paddy), followed by residential land, and aquaculture land. Less than 4% is classed as production forest or perennial (orchard) land. The affected private land by category is presented in the table below.

39. A total of 891 households will be affected by the loss of productive land. Affected productive land comprises mainly annual cropping land/paddy with an aggregate area of 318,744 m2 and land used for aquaculture measuring 31,751 m2. Annual crops of various types (principally paddy and corn) are the primary sources for food and income of the majority of these households. 40. Examining the distribution of severity of loss of productive land, it can be observed that overall more than half of displaced people’s households who will lose productive land will not experience a severe loss – that is 54% will lose less than 10% of their farming land. Having said this, there another two comments worthy of note. First, Thuy Van ward will see 83% of its displaced people’s households experiencing severe loss of more than 10% of their productive land holdings. Second, the commune with largest number of displaced people’s households

16

losing productive land is Phung Lao commune where 323 households will be impacted by the land acquisition for Phu Dong road. Similarly, displaced peoples living in Phung Lao Commune will loss of another source for income and food with the loss of 31,751 m2 of land utilized for aquaculture. The distribution of severity of loss of productive land is presented in Table III.4 below.

E. Impacts on Public Land 41. A total of 288,485.35 m2 of public land will be affected by the project (refer to Table III.2) About 42,118.7m2 of this are used for irrigation and roads. The State administers right of way of road and irrigation. The remaining 246,366.65m2 is agricultural land belonging to the government and leased to individual households for farming. (Refer to section I: Impact on Communal Resources, for further discussion on this.) F. Impacts on Residential Land and Houses 42. A total of 184 households will be displaced as a result of the acquisition of 76,794m2 of residential land. Of this number 55 displaced people’s households will be fully affected with the loss of 100% of their residential land, requiring resettlement. The majority (28 displaced people) of displaced people’s households required to relocate are residing in Van Phu Ward of Truong Chinh Road component. 43. There are 129 displaced peoples whose residential land will be partially affected. These displaced peoples have still remaining land viable for residential use. The viability of land for residential land is set at 40m2 according to government regulations.

44. A total of 116 residential houses will be affected as a result of acquisition of the land upon which they are built. There are only two categories of affected house structures, which are category 3 (with structures made of mixture of concrete and brick, wall brick, medium quality materials) and category 4 (brick/wood structure, tile/fibrocement proof, low quality materials). Category 4 (lower standard permanent structures) has a total aggregate area of 5,251m2 belonging to 75 households. Affected category 3 houses have a total area of 4,194m2 belonging to 41 households. Of these affected houses 55 will be fully affected along with their residential land and will require relocation. A summary of the expected impacts on houses are presented in the table below.

H. Impacts on Businesses 46. No commercial businesses (including informal sector/non-registered commercial operators) were identified by the IOL as being adversely affected by the Project. I. Impacts on Communal Resources 47. The majority of the acquired government land in urban road component is land owned by the respective local ward/commune People’s Committee and leased to local households for agricultural purposes. The total anticipated losss of commune owned agricultural land is 24.6 hectares (ha). This is effectively a communal resource which will have an impact on the income sources for households living within the commune. 48. The Project’s overall impact on commune owned agricultural land in the seven wards/communes traversed by the three roads one percent. The seven Project-affected wards/communes have a commune owned agricultural land totalling 2,348 ha. However, only in three of the Project wards/communes is such land affected (Phuong Lau, Duu Lau and Thuy Van). At the project level, the loss of commune owned agricultural land is 1%. The largest impact is experienced in Thuy Van Commune.

49. The impacts of the loss of commune owned agricultural land is presented in the table below. Phuong Lau and Duu Lau Communes will experience less than 1% of their commune owned agricultural land while Thuy Van will experience almost 5% loss. A total of 648 households are expected to be affected. The average losses are 108 m2 (Duu Lau); 128m2 (Phuong Lau); and 645m2 (Thuy Van). The individual labor of the vast majority of the affected

19

households is fully engaged in agriculture. Based on consultation with the affected local People’s Committees, only around 5% of affected households have labor engaged in non-farming activities. Table III.9: Impact of Loss of Commune Owned Land Leased for Agricultural Production

50. In addition for compensation for losses of any investments, improvements, standing crops, lost income and remaining unutilized leases, such losses experienced by affected households will require mitigation through the resettlement plan’s income restoration strategy.

IV. SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE

A. Background to the Socioeconomic Survey (SES) 51. Socioeconomic information of the displaced people’s households was obtained through the conduct of an SES. The SES utilized a questionnaire administered to 304 displaced people’s households. (Please refer to Appendix 2.1 Socioeconomic survey Questionnaire). With a total displaced people’s household population of 1,075, this represents a 28% survey sample of the affected population. The survey respondents were interviewed personally by enumerators. The survey respondents were typically the official household head or otherwise another designated adult household member, such as spouse, who could provide the relevant information on behalf of the family. This section presents the baseline information on the socioeconomic status of affected households of the road subprojects in Viet Tri City obtained from the household SES. B. Household Demographics 52. A total of 1,075 households are expected to be either physically and/or economically displaced by the project components in Viet Tri. The survey sample presented a total population of 1,390 household members indicating an average household size of 4.6 persons per household. This is a typical household size for rural areas in northern Vietnam.

C. Livelihood and Income 54. There are 851 household members engaged in remunerated work, representing 61% of the total sample household population. Thuy Van has the highest proportion of household members working (66%) while Phuong Lau has the lowest (56%). It is worthy of note that Thuy Van has also the highest proportion of female household members who are engaged in remunerated work (55%). The participation of men and women in the workforce is otherwise almost of equal proportion with an average of 51% of women engaged in remunerated work.

55. An understanding on the type of work of displaced peoples is important in order to address changes in livelihood that may occur as a result of displacement or changes in job resulting from land acquisition. Occupations of 851 working members are varied. The majority 487 (47.6%) are engaged in agricultural related work, followed by waged employment 284 (29.0%). The rests are spread among other types of work including hired labor (8.5%)

21

construction worker (2.5%); business, (2.8%) services (2.3%) and other miscellaneous jobs (5.6%). Farming is dominant in the communes of Phung Lau and Hung Lo with over 60% of working members being farmers.

56. Table IV.5 presents household members participation in remunerated work by working status (full time, part time or unemployed) disaggregated by sex and location. The information was compiled from those respondents who provided this information. The data shows that overall around 90% of those engaged in remunerated work are working full time, with around 10% working part time or seasonally with a negligible number reporting to be unemployed. The distribution by sex is proportionate.

57. The poverty line applicable in the project area is based on the criteria defined by the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA). The poverty line is typically reviewed every five years and was most recently reviewed and updated in 2010. The current poverty line is defined as households having an average monthly per capita income of less than VND 400,000 for rural areas and less than VND 500,000 for urban areas. In addition to the poverty line, there is also a category of “near poor” which is defined as households with average per capita incomes below VND 520,000 and VND 650,000 for rural and urban areas, respectively. The most recent official household survey conducted in the project area took place

22

during the period October–November 2010. 58. The SES obtained data on household per capita incomes based on the respondent’s declaration as well as the results of the recent official survey for which poor households were given official cards. Accordingly, the survey revealed that 18 households (6% of total sample) fall below the official poverty line and that 116 households (38% of survey sample) fall within the “near poor” category. These latter families are also considered vulnerable as it may be possible for them to fall back below the poverty line is they experience disruptions to their meagre incomes. On the other hand, there are about 169 (55.8%) households whose per capita income is over VND 500,000–VND 1 million per month. These households belong to “average” (28.4) and “non-poor” (27.4), where the majority are from the communes of Van Phu, Hung Lo, Phuong Lau and Duu Lau.

59. The housing standard is one indicator of economic status of households as this indicates the capacity of households to invest in housing. Based on the data from the IOL, 75 households (64% of those with affected houses) have category 4 houses (lower standard permanent structures) with an aggregate area of 5,251m2 equating to an average of 70m2 per household. There are 41 households (36% of those with affected houses) with Category 3 houses (higher

23

standard of permanent house structure) with an aggregate area of 4,194m2 equating to an average of 102m2.

HH = household; m2 = square meter.

D. Education 60. In terms of education, the survey results indicate that there is generally high percentage of household members who have attended formal education. Of the 1,239 household members, the majority (42.20%) have at least reached high school. This figure is consistent in all communes. About 36.2% members have reached secondary school and 11.2% primary school. Only 8.9% has at least reached college. A very small number is reported being illiterate (1.5%).

Figure 5: Education Attainment of Household Members

61. The SES collected information on the numbers of individuals in the age group 16–24 years in full time education. The age group is older than the compulsory age for school attendance and can be used as a proxy indicator for household wellbeing and interest in investing in their children’s education as well as attitudes towards investment in education by gender. The data reveals that overall approximately equal attention is given to girls’ education as boys in the post compulsory school age. There is a range of 42%–80% in female school

However, worthy of note is that Thuy Van in the location of an industrial zone which is likely to have a positive relation to high proportions of female school attendance as process industries in Vietnam tend to prefer female workers. The SES does did not collect information on total numbers of individuals in this age group but expect that this information will nevertheless provided a meaningful contribution to subsequent socioeconomic monitoring and evaluation activities in the Project.

E. Project Impact on Livelihood 62. The acquisition of 350,495 m2 of productive/agricultural land (crops and aquaculture) will have an impact on the current economic activity of the 408 displaced people’s households losing more than 10% of their productive land, resulting to a potential loss of income derived from land. This number represents 46% of those losing productive land. These displaced peoples are dependent on land as for their main source of income. Land is basically planted with various crops like corn and rice which is used for household consumption as well as for sale, which contributes in augmenting household income. There is risk of decrease in income as well as food supply of households (Table IV.12). 63. In terms of impact in livelihood, households engaged in agriculture or faming (48.7%) are expected to be severely impacted, which has an overall impact on change of livelihood for 37 households losing over 50% of land. Also significantly affected are displaced peoples engaged in daily labor on an occasional basis to supplement farm income (i.e. as a secondary income source) The consultation confirms that displaced peoples engaged in farming their own land as a primary income source generally are also engaged in daily labor on other people’s farms during periods of low labor demand on their own farms to supplement their primary incomes. However, the long term nature of the impacts on daily labor is likely to depend on the communities into which displaced peoples relocate. 64. Waged employment (29.6%), while being one of the larger type of work does not present significant impact as their work continues to remain. (please refer to Table IV.4 for further details on types of livelihoods.)

65. The impacts of the loss of commune owned agricultural land is presented in Table IV.13. Phuong Lau and Duu Lau Communes will experience less than 1% of their commune-owned agricultural land, while Thuy Van will experience almost 5% loss. A total of 648 households are expected to be affected. The average losses are 108m2 (Duu Lau); 128m2 (Phuong Lau); and 645m2 (Thuy Van). The individual labor of the vast majority of the affected households is fully engaged in agriculture. Based on consultation with the affected local People’s Committees, only around 5% of affected households have labor engaged in non-farming activities.

F. Vulnerable Households 66. Based on the results of the survey sample it is expected that 6% of the displaced people’s households fall below the poverty line and another 38% are near poor, being also susceptible to changes in their living conditions. Thus the survey concludes that 44% of the displaced people’s households will require special assistance due to their low income levels. 67. Households headed by women were not identified as part of the survey process. Accordingly the preparation of the updated resettlement plan will need to include fields in the survey forms to identify households headed by women. Households headed by women are particularly vulnerable groups and may experience hardships disproportionally to other households as a result of either relocation or impacts on livelihood sources. In particular the measures to arrange resettlement should take note of women headed household’s typical greater reliance on localized social networks for their welfare and functioning of the household. All efforts should be made to relocate households headed by women close to their social/kin networks as well as invest effort in social integration activities as part of the program of resettlement to stream line affected households into their new environment.

26

68. No ethnic minorities are included amongst the list of vulnerable displaced peoples. G. Issues and concerns on Resettlement 69. Several issues were raised during the consultations held in various communes in Viet Tri. Primary concerns include the following below. Details on specific concerns are found in the Minutes of consultation (Appendix 2.4).

(i) Compensation cost of land (ii) Loss of productive land leading to possible change of livelihood (iii) No skills for alternate job (iv) No land to buy another land (v) Difficulty in resettlement due to changes in environment, living condition, etc. (vi) Delay in implementation (vii) Relocated twice already due to projects (viii) Not following government policy on resettlement

V. PARTICIPATORY COMMUNICATION PROCESS

A. Objectives and Principles 70. The stakeholder communication policy is based on the principles of transparency, timeliness, participation, meaningful engagement, and inclusiveness. Means of communication and consultation are to promote participation of those who may otherwise tend to be marginalized such as women, elderly, and the poor. Stakeholder communication will encompass institutional stakeholders, communities within the project area, and persons directly affected by the project. 71. Participation of stakeholders is essential to reach the objectives of the resettlement policy. Under the Vietnamese Law, Decree 84/2007/ND-CP, it is necessary to write to the communes and inform them of likely impacts from the scheme on environmental and resettlement issues, and request their response. ADB’s SPS likewise requires meaningful consultation of stakeholders to involve them in the resettlement process. 72. Communities and affected individuals will be meaningfully consulted on all project activities which affect them. Such consultation shall take place as early as possible in the project and be ongoing, continuing throughout the project cycle. Consultations will be timely with information provided when the feedback of consultations could be incorporated in to design features or mitigation measures and prior to commencement of any project activity. Consultation will include information on project objectives and policies; project technical design; implementation activities and schedules; potential and actual impacts and risks such as environmental, resettlement, livelihood, access restrictions, HIV/AIDS transmission, and human trafficking along with mitigation measures; benefit and opportunities; institutional arrangements; grievance redress mechanisms; and the results of project monitoring and evaluation. All significant communications will be recorded2 and stakeholders will have the opportunity to present questions, opinions and suggestions.

2 Significant consultations will typically be recorded in writing (such as minutes) and with the informed consent of

those participating.

27

B. Identification of Project Stakeholders 73. Institutional stakeholders include (i) government agencies responsible for the design, management, and implementation of the project; and (ii) state institutions, civil society (CBOs and mass organizations), and private sector institutions whose mandates share an interest with the outcomes and/or impacts of the project. 74. Communities within the project area as well as individuals directly affected by the project have a natural vested interest in the effectiveness of project design and implementation as well as mitigation of negative impacts and maximization of project benefits and are primary stakeholders. 75. In the context of this resettlement plan the primary stakeholders are the displaced persons and any host communities to which those physically displaced may relocated to. C. Information to be Provided to Displaced Persons and Affected Communities 76. Information to be provided to displaced persons and affected communities shall include the following:

(i) Project details, including purpose, benefits, physical description, implementation arrangement and schedules.

(ii) Project implementation arrangements, including institutional framework, contact points, and implementation schedules.

(iii) Project impacts and risks, including land acquisition, loss of other physical assets, restrictions on land use and access (temporary and permanent), impacts on livelihoods, as well as other social impacts/risks (road safety, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, etc.).

(iv) Project mitigation measures, including compensation, transitional assistance, income restoration measures, resettlement options, other social impact mitigation measures.

(v) Information and consultation measures, including communication plan, rights and processes for inquiry and grievance redress, and contact persons to obtain information.

(vi) Disclosure of draft and updated resettlement plans. (vii) Periodic reports of the resettlement external monitoring agency.

D. Means of Implementing the Communication Strategy 77. The means of implementing the communication strategy shall include the following:

(i) Public meetings with affected communities. (ii) Group meetings with all displaced people’s households. (iii) Both spouses heading displaced people’s households shall be formally invited to

attend consultation and information dissemination sessions. The Women’s Union is to encourage active participation of women displaced peoples and arrange separate meetings with affected women as needed.

(iv) Information sessions will be conducted by the PMU, Resettlement Committee and Ward/Commune People’s Committees with support from the Project Management Assistant Consultants. Relevant mass organizations relevant to the needs of the affected people are to actively attend. Such mass organizations

28

would include agencies such as the Women’s Union, Farmers’ Union, Fatherland Front and Youth Union.

(v) Particular attention will be paid to ensure the participation of the vulnerable or otherwise those at risk of marginalization. The location as well as timing of consultation meetings will be arranged to foster attendance and cause least disruption to displaced peoples work and family care responsibilities.

(vi) All consultation and disclosure activities will be properly documented. All minutes of meetings and attendance sheets will be prepared and recorded. Comments of participants will likewise be recorded in the minutes (with their informed consent).

E. Specific Consultation Matters 78. Participants in consultation meetings are to be given the opportunity to raise comments and present questions. In the context of the resettlement plan displaced peoples are to be actively consulted on the following:

(i) Resettlement preferences, including resettlement site selection and design; (ii) Special resettlement needs of vulnerable persons such as households headed by

women, elderly residing alone, persons with disabilities. (iii) Income restoration measures, including types of mode of training delivery, and

other measures deemed appropriate and/or viable. Income restoration measures are to be suitable to the capacity, needs and interests of those affected.

F. Consultation Activities Undertaken during Preparation of the resettlement plan 79. Consultation during the preparation of the draft resettlement plan included two rounds of stakeholders’ consultation:

(i) during project scoping where information of the project was disseminated in all affected communes,

(ii) during the resettlement planning and validation of study results, and (iii) during disclosure of draft resettlement plan

80. Community participation started with data collection which served as baseline information on project affected households. Various approaches were utilized in gathering qualitative and quantitative data which include the following (i) key informants interview with the City, Provincial and District local heads and affected families; (ii) household survey (20%) of project affected households. Collected information was analysed and processed which formed the benchmark for resettlement planning. 81. The first consultation on subprojects of Viet Tri, was conducted on 5 January 2011 at the Peoples Committee Office, designed as a cluster meeting of representatives from affected communes. The objectives were to: (i) inform the communities about the proposed project; (ii) obtain people’s views and comments on project impacts and risks; and (iii) get people’s recommendation to improve the project design. This was participated by affected households, PMU, and other representatives from government and private sectors. The second consultation (8–16 March 2011) was conducted in the communes where the displaced peoples are residing (see Annex 2.4). This was undertaken during the period when the SES and IOL were conducted. The majority of affected households participated in these consultation meetings. The approach involved open and participatory method intended to provide a forum for communities and affected persons to give their perceptions, comments, project impacts or risks and

29

recommendations on their specific concerns. 82. The second consultation was conducted to discuss in detail relocation issues and concerns with displaced peoples. 83. Attendance at the consultation meetings is presented below.

G. Summary of Issues and Concerns 84. The consultations results documented the following issues.

(i) Compensation: Rates on compensation was perceived as low especially valuation on agricultural land.

(ii) Alternative Income: There is willingness to learn new skills to replace farming.

However, there are concerns on whether they can get a job on the new trade. (iii) Resettlement: There is available site in Viet Tri which people can relocate, there

is concern however on the current condition of the site and on affordability. The site is not yet developed.

(iv) Attitude towards the project: Overall, there is positive attitude towards the

project and high level of acceptability as benefits expected are wide ranging. The improvement on the road is very much appreciated to facilitate easy mobility and accessibility for children to go to school. It is expected to contribute to the improvement on foot paths as well improvement on aesthetics and environment.

H. Disclosure of the Draft Resettlement Plan 86. The draft resettlement plan was disclosed to all displaced peoples by way of a PIB disseminated to affected persons in the project areas in July 2011. The PIB presents salient information about the Project, anticipated impacts, as well as planned mitigation measures. A copy of the PIB is in Appendix 2.6. The PIB has also been posted in an accessible public place. A translated copy of the draft resettlement plan will also be provided to each commune/ward People’s Committee. A translated copy of the draft resettlement plan will be provided to each commune/ward People’s Committee. Following ADB’s concurrence the draft resettlement plan will also be uploaded on ADB’s website (www.adb.org). I. Disclosure of the Updated Resettlement Plan 87. Disclosure of the draft updated resettlement plan to displaced peoples will be carried out by the resettlement committee prior to finalization of the updated resettlement plan. Following ADB’s concurrence to the updated resettlement plan the resettlement plan will be formally disclosed by way of PIB, distribution of translated resettlement plans to each ward/commune People’s Committee Office and uploading of the resettlement plan on ADB’s website as well as the executing agency’s project website (as established). The translated version of the resettlement plan distributed to the local People’s Committee offices shall be accessible to affected persons. The information brochure will be distributed to all displaced peoples with general contents including: (i) project profile, (ii) project impacts, (iii) compensation and entitlements, (iv) grievance redress mechanism, and (v) resettlement procedures, timing of payments and schedule. Resettlement monitoring reports will also be made available to displaced peoples and will be uploaded on ADB’s website. J. Planned Consultation and Disclosure Measures 88. Planned consultation activities and disclosure measures are summarized in the Table IV.3.

VI. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISMS

89. This section presents information and arrangement for addressing conflicts and appeal procedures regarding eligibility and entitlements as well as the implementation of the resettlement activities. 90. A well-defined grievance redress and resolution mechanism will be established to address displaced people grievances and complaints regarding land acquisition, compensation and resettlement in a timely and satisfactory manner. All displaced peoples will be made fully aware of their rights, and the detailed procedures for filing grievances and an appeal process will be publicised through an effective public information campaign. The grievance redress mechanism and appeal procedures will also be explained in the PIB that will be distributed to all displaced peoples. 91. Displaced people (including either spouse heading an affected household) are entitled to lodge complaints regarding any aspect of the land acquisition and resettlement requirements such as, entitlements, rates and payment and procedures for resettlement and income restoration programs. Displaced people’s complaints can be made verbally or in written form. In the case of verbal complaints, the Committee on Grievance will be responsible to make a written record during the first meeting with the displaced people. 92. For the purposes of grievance redress and resolution, the respective PMUs shall also serve as grievance officers. The designated commune officials shall exercise all efforts to settle displaced people issues at the commune level through appropriate community consultation. All meetings shall be recorded by the resettlement committees and copies shall l be provided to displaced peoples. A copy of the minutes of meetings and actions undertaken shall be provided to PMU and ADB upon request. 93. The procedures for grievance redress are set out below.

(i) Stage 1: Complaints from displaced peoples for the first time shall be lodged verbally or in written form with the Commune or DPC. The complaint shall be discussed in an informal meeting with the displaced people and the Commune or DPC It will be the responsibility of the Commune or DPC to resolve the issue within 15 days from the date the complaint is received. All meetings shall be recorded and copies of the minutes of meetings will be provided to displaced people.

(ii) Stage 2: If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached or if no

response is received from Commune or DPC within 15 days of registering the complaint, the displaced people can elevate the case to the City Resettlement Committee (CRC). The displaced people must lodge the complaint within 30 days of registering the complaint and must produce documents that support his/her claim. The CRC is expected to respond within 1 month upon receiving the appeal.

(iii) Stage 3: If the displaced people are not satisfied with the decision of the CRC or

in the absence of any response, the displaced people can appeal to the PPC. The PPC will review and issue a decision on the appeal within 30 days from the day it is received.

(iv) Stage 4: If the displaced people are still not satisfied with the decision of the

PPC, or in the absence of any response within the stipulated time, the displaced people, as a last resort may submit his/her case to the court.

94. The procedure described above is consistent with the legal process for resolution of disputes in Vietnam. 95. The EMO will be responsible for checking the procedures for and resolutions of grievances and complaints. The EMO may recommend further measures to be taken to redress unresolved grievances. The PSC will provide the necessary training to improve grievance procedures and strategy for the resettlement committee staff as and when required. 96. The executing agency will shoulder all administrative and legal fees that will be incurred in the resolution of grievances and complaints if the displaced peoples win their case. Other costs incurred by legitimate complaints will also be refunded by the Project if displaced peoples win their case. 97. In cases where displaced peoples do not have the writing skills or are unable to express their grievances verbally, displaced peoples are encouraged to seek assistance from the nominated local community-based organization (CBO) such as the Women’s Union or Fatherland Front or non-government organization (NGO) or other family members, village heads or community chiefs to have their grievances recorded in writing and to have access to the DMS or other documentation, and to any survey or valuation of assets, to ensure that where disputes do occur all the details have been recorded accurately enabling all parties to be treated fairly. Throughout the grievance redress process, the responsible committee will ensure that the concerned displaced peoples are provided with copies of complaints and decisions or resolutions reached. 98. If efforts to resolve disputes using the grievance procedures remain unresolved or unsatisfactory, displaced peoples have the right to directly discuss their concerns or problems with the ADB Southeast Asia Transport and Communication Division (SETC), Southeast Asia Department either directly (at 6 ADB Avenue, Mandaluyong City, Philippines), or through the ADB Vietnam Resident Mission. If displaced people are still not satisfied with the responses of SETC Division, they can directly contact the ADB Office of the Special Project Facilitator.

VII. RESETTLEMENT POLICIES

A. Government of Vietnam’s Policies on Land Acquisition and Resettlement 99. The Government has established several laws on land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation. Likewise, the devolution of governance to the local province and districts has empowered the provincial and district level People’s Committees to regulate and govern issues on land acquisition in their own respective areas within the framework of national legislation. These laws, together with the ADB’s Social Policy Statement shall govern the land acquisition, compensation and resettlement. In case of discrepancies between the national laws, regulations, provincial decisions and ADB’s policies and requirements, ADB’s policies and requirements will prevail, consistent with national Government Decree No. 131/2006/ND-CP. Decree 131/2006 provides that in case of “discrepancy between any provision in an international treaty on Official Development Assistance (ODA), to which the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a signatory, and the Vietnamese Law, the provision in the international treaty on

34

ODA shall take precedence (Article 2, Item 5). The same statement was mentioned in the national Decree 197/2004/ND-CP on compensation and resettlement when the Government takes over the land for the defence, security purposes, benefits of nation and public works as well as for economic development. Decree No. 17/2003/ND-CP promulgates the regulation on the exercise of democracy in communes, including requirements for consultation with and participation of people in communes. 100. The policies of the Government on compensation, resettlement and assistance have been significantly improved from time to time; especially since the time the Land Law (2003) was passed by the National Assembly. Many Laws, Decrees, Circulars and amendments to Laws; Decrees were issued by the Government to improve the policies on land acquisition, compensation and assistance. The policies on land acquisition, compensation and assistance have also significantly improved on the standards of entitlement, compensation, income restoration as well as requirements for consultation, participation, information dissemination, monitoring and evaluation. For the projects financed by the International Banks, the Government has also approved for the required waivers to meet with the international standards on involuntary resettlement. 101. Relevant national legal instruments include:

(i) Land Law 2003/QH11, providing Vietnam with a comprehensive land administration law.

(ii) Decree No. 197/2004/ND-CP dated 3 December 2004, on compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement in the event of land recovery by the State, as amended by Decree No. 17/2006/ND-CP.

(iii) Decree No. 17/2003/ND-CP, promulgating the regulation on the exercise of democracy in communes, including requirements for consultation with and participation of people in communes.

(iv) Decrees No. 188/2004/ND-CP and 123/2007, specifying the methods for land pricing and land price frameworks in the event of land recovery by the State.

(v) Decree No. 84/2007/ND-CP, dated 25 May 2007 supplementary stipulations on issue of land use rights certificate (LURC), land acquisition, land use right implementation, procedure of compensation, assistance in the event of land recovery by the state and grievance redress.

(vi) Circular 116/2004/TT-BTC, 7 December 2004 guiding the implementation of Decree 197.

(vii) Decree No 37/2005/ND-CP 18 March 2005, procedures for application of measures enforcing implementation of decisions on administrative violation.

(viii) Decision No 74/2005/QD-TTg, 6 April 2005, on the use of land rights transferred budget, the budget from selling house, workshop and other structures when an economic unit has to relocate its office and estates and business in accordance with planning.

(ix) Circular No 80/2005/TT-BTC 15 September 2005, guidelines for organization of a network for conducting statistics of and surveying, investigation of the land price in accordance with Decree No 188/2004/ND-CP (16 November 2004).

(x) Decree No. 131/2006/ND-CP, on the management and use of ODA. Decree No. 131/2006/ND-CP provides that in case of “gaps between any provision in an international treaty on ODA, to which the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a signatory, and the Vietnamese Law, the provision in the international treaty on ODA shall take precedence” (Article 2, Item 5).

35

(xi) Decree 69/2009/ND-CP to amend for planning on land use, cost for land, land recovery, compensation and resettlement. This Decree provides higher assistance to the severely affected households, particularly to relocating households losing agricultural land.

(xii) Circular 14/2009/TT-BTNMT dated 1 October 2009 guides on the details of implementing about compensation, resettlement and resettlement assistance, process of land acquisition, land allocation, leasing land.

102. Relevant provincial level instruments include:

(i) Phu Tho PPC Decision No 3995/2009/QĐ – UBND, dated 19 November 2009 on "The decision to promulgate regulations on compensation, assistance and resettlement, and the order and procedures for implementation when the State acquires land in the province".

B. ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 103. The ADB SPS consolidates three existing safeguard policies: involuntary resettlement (IR), indigenous peoples (IP), and environment. The objectives of the IR policy are to (i) avoid involuntary resettlement, (ii) explore alternatives to avoid, (iii) restore livelihoods and (iv) improve living standards of poor and vulnerable households. The IP policy objectives are to (i) design and implement projects that fosters full respect for IP's identity, dignity, human rights, livelihoods systems, and cultural uniqueness as defined by IP themselves and (ii) ensure that IPs receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits, do not suffer adverse impacts as a result of projects, and can participate actively in projects that affect them. The policy on environment is discussed in a separate environment report. C. Mainstreaming Gender 104. The ADB Policy on Gender and Development (1998) adopts gender mainstreaming as a key strategy for promoting gender equity, and for ensuring that women participate in and that their needs are explicitly addressed in the decision-making process for development activities. The SPS requirements also reiterate the importance of including gender issues in the preparation of safeguards documents at all stages to ensure that gender concerns are incorporated, including gender-specific consultation and information disclosure. This includes special attention to guarantee women’s assets, property, and land-use rights and restoration/improvement of their livelihoods and living standards; and to ensure that women will receive project benefits. Other policies of the ADB that have bearing on resettlement planning and implementation are the Public Communications Policy (2005), and the Accountability Mechanism (2003). 105. The Government recognizes women as equal to men under the laws and constitution of Vietnam. While Government has no specific policy to promote gender issues in the country, the Vietnam Women’s Unions generally exist at every level of the government system. The following specific actions were undertaken to address gender issues during the project preparation (including preparation of the draft resettlement plan) and shall be undertaken in the remaining stages of the project.

(i) During public consultation meetings, women were widely represented. Women were encouraged to articulate their needs and give comments and recommendation to improve the Project design.

36

(ii) Prior to DMS updating, an orientation shall be done to enable the DMS teams to discuss their respective tasks in relation to gender issues and concerns.

(iii) During the DMS, both male and female displaced peoples will be encouraged to participate in discussions related to land acquisition and other resettlement issues.

(iv) In the planning of the income restoration program, female displaced peoples shall be actively involved. Appropriate economic activities for women will be included in the program in order to avoid any marginalization of women’s contribution to the household economy.

(v) For the relocating of affected households, separate discussion with women from affected households, affected households headed by women, and IP affected households shall be held to discuss and agree on their relocation.

(vi) Compensation will be given to both men and women. (vii) Replacement of land will be registered in the name of both husband and wife. (viii) Disaggregated monitoring indicators by gender, ethnicity, and gender of the head

of affected households that will be developed for monitoring capacity development training program, livelihood program, participation, and other resettlement activities.

D. Reconciliation of Government and ADB Policy on Resettlement 106. The resettlement and compensation policies for the Socioeconomic Development Project of Viet Tri are to be in accordance with ADB requirements and laws of the Government. Under the ADB policy, the Bank’s requirements must be met with regards to involuntary resettlement as defined in the ADB SPS. 107. With the promulgation of Decrees 69/2009/ND/CP (2009) and 197/2004/ND/CP (2004) and relevant decrees stated above, the policies and practices of the Government have become more closely aligned with ADB’s social safeguards policies. Nonetheless, provisions and principles adopted in this resettlement planning document will supersede the provisions of the relevant decrees currently in force in Vietnam wherever a gap exists, as provided for under Decree 131/2006/ND-CP (2006), which regulates the management and use of official development assistance. 108. The differences between the Government’s Laws and Decrees and ADB Policy with regard to resettlement and compensation, and how to address these gaps for this Project are in Table VII.1. 109. It should also be noted that Decree 197/2004, Article 32 states that "Apart from the supports prescribed in Articles 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 of this Decree, basing themselves on the local realities, the provincial-level People’s Committee presidents shall decide on other supporting measures to stabilise life and production of persons who have land recovered; special cases shall be submitted to the Prime Minister for decision”, therefore, if additional gaps not mentioned below are found during resettlement plan updating or implementation, the required assistance or support will be included in the updated resettlement plan.

IX. RESETTLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

117. This chapter describes the options, strategies and steps to carry out the resettlement process. It discusses the strategies in addressing the temporary as well as unforeseen impacts that may emerge during and after resettlement. A. Options on Resettlement 118. Several options will be provided to displaced people to suit their affordability and choices. These include the following:

(i) Cash Compensation Cash compensation at replacement value will be paid to displaced people who choose to resettle on their own somewhere else, or for those displaced people with affected land only. Decree No 84/2007/ND-CP (25 May 2007) governs the compensation package and eligibility for compensation. This is further supplemented by the latest Decree No 69/ND-CP (13 August 2009). In addition to cash compensation, subsidies, incentives and other support are provided to cover removal costs, temporary arrangements and loss of income.

(ii) Land for land

Another option is land replacement of similar type and attributes acceptable to displaced peoples. The Government’s plan for relocation of 55 affected households in the proposed road projects is in-city resettlement to avoid economic dislocation. However, the proposed resettlement site in Duu Lau ward is not yet developed. Available lots will stand ready for purchase of displaced peoples if they so decide.

B. Transitional Relocation Assistance 119. Relocating displaced people shall be provided with several forms of transitional relocation assistance which include the following:

(i) Transport Allowance Relocating households will receive a transport allowance for transfer to a new

location. The amount of allowance depends on specified location as defined below.

a. VND 2.2 million/household if the distance is less than10 km; b. VND 3.6 million/household if the distance is from 10 km to less than 50 km; c. VND 6.0 million/household if the distance is over 50 km.

(ii) Stabilization allowance

Displaced people will receive a stabilisation allowance to offset the disruption to income earning capacity associated with the time required to resettle in another location. The stabilisation allowance is based on the number of household members and whether the household is required to relocate to another area or can rebuild on remaining affected land. The cash allowance is equivalent to 30

49

kg of rice per household member for a period of 6 months (if relocating to another location) or 3 months (if rebuilding on the remaining portion of affected land).

(iii) Rental Assistance The principle of “No housing, No relocation” shall be observed, However, where it

is inevitable that housing is not yet ready, rental assistance shall be provided to displaced peoples during the transitory period.

C. Temporary Impacts 120. To ensure that temporary impacts during construction are minimized, if not avoided entirely, the civil works contract will include the following provisions: (i) contractor to pay rent for any land required for construction work space; (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. The contractors will submit to the PPC the required workspace specifying the duration of use. Together with the DCR, the contractors will undertake the DMS and apply the corresponding compensation and allowances for all losses as provided in the Project Entitlement matrix. D. Unforeseen Impacts 121. Unforseen impacts will include any impacts not included or anticipated at the time of preparing the resettlement plan. Such unforseen impacts may include (but not necessarily limited to) additional displaced peoples due to change in land acquisition boundaries, displaced peoples present at the time of or prior to the cut-off date but not included in the census; additional losses of property not previously included in the DMS (but present in the effected area at the time of the DMS); restrictions on land use (such as resulting from right of way/safety zone restrictions) which were not included or anticipated at the time of the DMS. Such unanticipated impacts will be included in the resettlement plan mitigation measures and such mitigation measures are to be consistent with the principles and objectives of the resettlement plan as specified in Sections 6 and 7 above. The means of inclusion will be through either a Corrective Action Plan or Addendum to the Resettlement Plan and will require both endorsement by the executing agency and concurrence by ADB.

X. INCOME RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION

A. Objective and Eligibility for Income Restoration Assistance 122. The objectives of the income restoration program is to restore the long term income generating capacity of affected households, to impove livelihoods of vulnerable households and to mitigate short term income losses that may be experienced through subsistance support measures. Households experiencing severe impacts on their productive assets or livelihoods will be entitled to participated in the income restoration program. The forms and levels of income restoration assistance vary and will be commensurate with the duration, level and severity of impacts on livelihoods and productive assets as well as vulnerability of the affected persons. The Project will also seek to maximize project-related work opportunities to those in the local communities, including those affected by land acquisition. Opportunities to improve the livelihoods of women will also be mainstreamed in various Project initiatives, including in the income restoration program of the resettlement plan. 123. The social survey results indicate that the most severely impacted categories on livelihood are those engaged in agriculture (83%). There are 403 households who would lose more than 10% of their productive land. These lands are primarily used for planting vegetables usually for households’ consumption and for sale to augment household income. These displaced peoples will be included in the Livelihood program, along with those losing 30%–70% of productive land. Overall, a total of 338 displaced peoples out of the 891 shall be included in the livelihood program identified in the following sub projects:

Truong Chinh road

109 displaced peoples losing more than 10%–70% of productive Phu Dong Road

129 displaced peoples losing more that 10%–70% of productive land Thuy Van Road

100 displaced peoples losing more than 10%–70% of productive land 124. In addition to those losing privately owned productive land, a number of people will also experience impacts on their income earning capacities due to acquisition of community agricultural land. Such persons will also be entitled to various forms of income restoration assistance depending on the severity of impact on household livelihoods. B. Livelihood Support Intervention Measures 125. The categories of affected livelihood are identified below with appropriate income restoration measures based on the policy of Phu Tho Province specified in PPC Decision No. 3995/2009/QĐ – UBND, dated on 19 November 2009. Other measures as needed will be developed in detail during the preparation of the updated resettlement plan in consultation with affected persons, local authorities, mass organizations, resettlement committee, PMU, CPC and PPC. Specialists in the field of resettlement, livelihood development and gender will also provide support to the PMU to establish details of appropriate income restoration measures in consultation with those affected and Project stakeholders to incorporate in the updated resettlement plan.

51

Affected Livelihood Income Restoration Measures

Farmers Stabilisation allowance (income support) for 6–24 months

Income restoration allowance (equivalent to 1.5 times the compensation value of affected land)

Vocational training entitlements (provides benefit of diversifying household income sources)

Affected businesses Compensation for lost income

Affected employees Compensation for 6 months lost income

Vocational training assistance

Other affected livelihoods Vocational training

Access to finance

Vulnerable persons Special assistance

Vocational training

Access to micro-finance Short term strategy 126. Some of the ways to enhance capacity of displaced peoples to augment income will focus on: (i) absorption of skilled family members of displaced peoples into the Project. The Project will maximize opportunities to local communities during construction and project operation. The district resettlement committee will coordinate and arrange with the Project to absorb some family members of displaced people’s households who are skilled workers for employment during construction as workers, masons or during operations, as maintenance workers; employment scheme related to demolition and relocation, food for work and sweat equity in house reconstruction. Long term strategy 127. The income restoration program will emphasize long term and sustainable livelihoods. Some options to be considered include:

(i) Conduct of vocational skills training to fully avail of the job opportunities that will be generated by the project, as well as to link market demand for possible job referral and placement and requirements from nearby industrial factories.

(ii) Enhancing food security program to ensure food sources and income through agro-forestry farming, a practice that PAPs are currently engaged in;

(iii) Linking livelihood support with some existing social assistance of government program (Department of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs [DOLISA]) such as financing micro and small enterprises;

(iv) Formation of cooperatives/associations as conduits of livelihood projects. Cooperatives are existing in the provinces which are vehicles for promoting economic support and continuing capital-build – up assistance.

C. Agricultural Enhancement Program 128. An agricultural enhancement program will be established especially targeting farmers who remain in the project area and whose lands are partially affected. This will be implemented by the livelihood Development specialist hired by the Project. The Specialist will coordinate with institutions such as Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and tap other resources

52

that will provide support for extension programs that will enable affected farmers to increase productivity from smaller productive land areas. One such program would be the development of vegetable production for backyard gardening. Vegetable cultivation provides an opportunity to significantly increase farm profitability. The program will establish model farms in each affected commune; provide equipment for vegetable processing, training for local agricultural technicians and farmers. D. Transitional Stabilization Assistance 129. Economically displaced displaced peoples will also be provided with transitional assistance to offset potential losses in income while they make the transition to alternative livelihoods. Displaced peoples losing productive land will be provided with a stabilisation allowance in the form of a cash allowance equivalent to 30 kg of rice per household member for periods of 3–24 months based on the severity of impact and whether or not they need to relocate. Other displaced peoples experiencing loss of non-land based income sources are entitled to receive an income substitution allowance equivalent to 30% of average annual income (for businesses with tax receipts) and 6 months net wage (for affected employees). The level of assistance for businesses without tax receipts and employees without labor contracts will be based on the minimum wage. E. Skills Training Program 130. Displaced people including those losing more than 10% of productive land, relocating displaced peoples experiencing impacts on livelihoods and displaced employees will be entitled to participate in one short term vocational training courses free of charge for a limited period. The main State provider of vocational training is the Provincial DOLISA. DOLISA’s training programs consist of three main forms of vocational training consisting of (i) regular training programs at vocational training centres (short courses of up to 3 months as well as long courses of up to two years); (ii) industry specific training programs geared towards specific needs of local industries to support their recruitment intakes; and (iii) outreach rural training programs targeted to the needs and capacities of trainees in rural communities (such as cottage based livelihoods, light industry, basic mechanics, etc.). Vulnerable displaced peoples or otherwise considered in special need for livelihood restoration or development will be considered for extended training beyond the period specified above. Such will be decided on a case by case basis to be proposed by the local People’s Committee, Women’s Union, PMU and decided by the resettlement committee. F. Special Measures to Support Vulnerable Groups 131. Vulnerable displaced peoples (including those classified as poor or near poor) will be entitled to participate in the income restoration program. Such assistance may include participation in vocational training, loan assistance, and other form of support to improve their income generating capacity.

XI. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET

A. Resettlement Budget Estimate 132. The resettlement budget is estimated at VND 268,104,310,953 (approximately $13,405,216). The summary of resettlement cost estimates are presented in Table XI.1.The costs for resettlement include: Direct Resettlement Costs (compensation, transitional

53

allowances, income restoration assistance); Indirect Resettlement Costs (replacement cost study, EMO); Administration Costs (2% of direct resettlement costs); and Contingency Costs (10% of direct resettlement costs). The resettlement budget will be revised and updated as part of the process of updating the resettlement plan. Revision of the resettlement budget will include updating replacement cost values, revised costs based on finalized income restoration program costs and inclusion of any resettlement costs not anticipated in the preparation of the draft resettlement plan. 133. The resettlement budget prepared for the draft resettlement plan is an estimate based on estimated replacement costs for affected property at the time of preparing the draft resettlement plan. During updating of the resettlement plan, compensation rates will be regularly updated through the conduct of replacement cost survey by a qualified agency and will be reviewed and approved by the PPCs to ensure that payments to displaced people will be at replacement cost at the time of compensation. The replacement costs applied in the updated resettlement plan are to be valid for the time of payment of compensation. Should there be a significant delay between the time preparing and approving the updated resettlement plan and disbursement of compensation (3–6 months) the replacement cost study will be updated to ensure compensation rates are equivalent to replacement values. The terms of reference for the conduct of replacement cost is attached to the resettlement plan. 134. The budget for the resettlement plan will be financed by the Government. The resettlement committee will be responsible for the disbursement of the compensation, allowances and assistance funds. The resettlement budget funds will be subject to thorough fudiciary monitoring and auditing. Disbursement of entitlements to affected persons will also be closely monitored by the CPC, PMU and EMO. 135. A summary of the estimated resettlement budget is set out below.

XIV. MONITORING AND REPORTING

A. Internal Monitoring 146. The executing agency is directly responsible for internal monitoring of resettlement plan implementation. In particular, the executing agency with assistance from the PSC will supervise and manage monitoring of resettlement activities and implementation arrangements. 147. The executing agency will provide quarterly reports to ADB. The executing agency will ensure that the reports of the PSCs include in their progress reports, the status of the resettlement plan implementation, information on location and numbers of people affected, compensation amounts paid by item, and assistance provided to displaced peoples.

68

148. The ADB will also monitor these activities in its regular supervision missions during the period of project implementation. 149. The objectives of the monitoring program are (i) to ensure that the standard of living of displaced peoples are restored or improved; (ii) to monitor whether the overall project and resettlement objectives are being met; (iii) to assess if rehabilitation measures and compensation are sufficient; (iv) to identify problems and risks; and (v) to identify measures to mitigate problems. 150. The range of activities and issues that need to be recorded and verified, include:

(i) Compensation, allowance payments and delivery of assistance measures; (ii) Re-establishment of displaced people settlements and business enterprises; (iii) Reaction of displaced peoples, in particular, to resettlement and compensation

packages; and (iv) Re-establishment of income levels.

1. Internal Monitoring Indicators 151. The principal indicators for internal monitoring of resettlement activities include the following:

(i) Timely and complete disbursement of compensation to displaced peoples according to the compensation policy agreed in the resettlement plan;

(ii) Timely and complete delivery of relocation, income restoration and rehabilitation allowances and measures;

(iii) Allocation of replacement land and development of individual and/or group resettlement sites and infrastructure;

(iv) Public information dissemination and consultation procedures; (v) Adherence to grievance procedures and identification of outstanding issues that

require further attention and resolution; (vi) Attention given to the priorities of displaced peoples regarding the options

offered; (vii) Completion of resettlement activities required before the award of civil works

contracts. 2. Internal Monitoring Data Collection and Report 152. The executing agency will establish a database for resettlement monitoring data. It will establish procedures for the collection of data on a monthly basis, and update the database. 153. On a quarterly basis, the executing agency will prepare a resettlement monitoring report. The report will be submitted to the Project Director, executing agency/PMU, for approval and, following, to ADB. The report will summarise progress on resettlement activities and will notify ADB of approval by the executing agency of any changes, as required, to the implementation of the resettlement plan. The scope of the report will include:

(i) The number of displaced peoples by category of impact, district, commune and village, and the status of compensation payments, displaced people relocation and income restoration measures for each category.

(ii) The status of disbursement of cash and allocation of replacement land and housing.

69

(iii) The amount of funds allocated and disbursed for (a) resettlement program operations, and (b) compensation, assistance and resettlement activities.

(iv) The activities, levels of participation, outcomes and issues of the Information Dissemination and Consultation Program.

(v) The status and outcomes of complaints and grievances and any outstanding issues requiring further attention by provincial or district authorities, or ADB assistance.

(vi) Implementation problems, including delays, lack of personnel or capacity, insufficient funds, etc.; proposed remedial measures; and, revised resettlement implementation schedule.

B. External Monitoring and Evaluation 154. The project will establish a program for external monitoring and evaluation with the following objectives:

(i) To verify that the resettlement program has been implemented in an accurate and timely manner, in accordance with the approved Final resettlement plan and Project policies and objectives.

(ii) To assess whether and to what degree the resettlement program has achieved the Project objectives, namely that displaced peoples are able to restore their livelihoods, incomes and standards of living to levels equal to, if not better than, that which they had before the Project.

(iii) To identify problems or potential problems and methods of mitigating problems in a timely manner.

155. The EMO will be recruited by the executing agency and will commence its work prior to the DMS, and will carry out independent bi-annual reviews of resettlement plan to determine whether intended goals are being achieved, and if not, what corrective actions are needed. 1. External Monitoring Objectives, Indicators and Issues 156. A part from reviewing and assessing the activities during resettlement plan updating, the general objective for external monitoring is to provide an independent periodic review and assessment of (i) the achievement of resettlement objectives, (ii) changes in living standards and livelihoods, (iii) the restoration of the economic and social conditions of the displaced peoples, (iv) the effectiveness, impact and sustainability of assistance measures, (v) the need for further mitigation measures, if any, and (vi) to identify strategic lessons for future policy formulation and planning. The table in this section presents a range of indicators to be included in the external monitoring of the resettlement program. The EMA will address specific issues including the following:

(i) Payment of compensation, against the following criteria: (a) compensation in cash or in kind sufficient to replace affected land, crops and trees; (b) compensation for structures equivalent to replacement costs at current market prices for materials, materials transport and labor, with no deduction for depreciation or the value of salvageable materials; and (c) payment in full prior to land acquisition and with sufficient time to permit displaced peoples to rebuild structures and/or harvest crops.

(ii) Coordination of resettlement activities with construction schedule: All compensation must be paid in full, income rehabilitation measures initiated and

70

displaced peoples relocated out of the corridor of impact prior to award of civil works contracts. Income rehabilitation activities, while initiated prior to award of civil contracts, may continue over a longer time period as needed.

(iii) Provision of technical assistance for house construction for displaced peoples who are required to rebuild their houses, either on remaining land, on individual resettlement sites or on a plot in a group resettlement sites.

(iv) The extent to which displaced peoples are able to restore livelihoods and living standards: The provision of technical assistance, allowances and other measures, and to what extent displaced peoples are able to restore livelihoods and living standards to pre-project levels. Special attention should be given to (a) severely affected displaced peoples and other vulnerable displaced peoples groups, (b) displaced peoples that relocate, (c) displaced peoples that must re-establish businesses and enterprises, (d) displaced peoples who undertake new economic and livelihood activities, and (e) host communities.

(v) Public consultation and awareness of resettlement policies: The EMO should monitor to ensure that (a) displaced peoples are fully informed and consulted about land acquisition, leasing and relocation activities, and (b) displaced peoples and other stakeholders are aware of the compensation and entitlements policies and various options available to displaced peoples as provided in the agreed resettlement plan. The EMO should participate in at least one meeting per district of each stage of consultation and information dissemination activities to monitor public consultation procedures, problems and issues that arise during the meetings and solutions that are proposed.

(vi) The level of satisfaction of displaced peoples with the provisions and implementation of the resettlement plan: This will be assessed, reviewed and recorded by the EMO, including the efficiency and equity of grievance redress mechanisms.

(vii) Trends in living standards: Throughout the resettlement plan implementation process, the EMO will observe and conduct surveys to monitor the progress displaced peoples are making to restore living standards. Special attention will be paid to any differences based on gender, ethnicity or other relevant factors. Any potential problems in the restoration of living standards will be reported.

2. External Monitoring Methodologies 157. The methods for external monitoring and evaluation of land acquisition, compensation and resettlement activities include:

(i) DMS and Replacement Cost Survey (RCS): The DMS and RCS data will be entered into a database to document: (a) socio-economic status of displaced peoples, (b) nature and extent of losses, and (c) entitlements for compensation and other assistance. The resulting data will be made available to the EMO, to establish a baseline for monitoring and evaluating project benefits.

(ii) SES: The SES is designed to provide a clear comparison of the success and/or

failure of the resettlement program to restore their livelihoods and living standards. In general, if there is a significant lag time between census and SES and actual land acquisition, demographic and socio-economic factors may change significantly. For this project, if land acquisition does not occur for at least two years after the original SES, the EMO will carry out another SES. A post resettlement survey will also be undertaken 6–12 months following completion of

71

resettlement activities. Each time the SES is conducted, the same displaced peoples will be interviewed. Special attention is to be paid to the inclusion of women, poor, landless and other vulnerable groups, with set questions for women and other target groups. The database is to disaggregate information by gender, geographic and social group.

(iii) Participatory rapid appraisals (PRA) methods: In the intervals between

administrations of the SES, periodic PRA methods permit the EMO to consult with various stakeholders such as local authorities, resettlement committees, implementing agencies, NGOs, community leaders and displaced peoples. PRA methods will involve obtaining information, identifying problems and finding solutions through participatory means including: (a) key informant interviews with local leaders, NGOs and resettlement committees; (b) consultations on specific topics such as compensation payment, income restoration and relocation; (c) community public meetings to discuss community losses, integration of resettled displaced peoples in host communities or construction work employment; (d) structure direct field observations, for example, of resettlement site development; (e) formal and informal interviews with displaced peoples, women, other vulnerable groups and host communities; and (f) in-depth case studies of problems as identified by internal or external monitoring and required special efforts to resolve.

3. Database Management and Storage 158. The EMO will maintain computerised resettlement databases that will be updated every six months. They will contain files on each displaced people and will be updated based on information collected on successive rounds of data collection. All monitoring databases will be fully accessible to implementing agencies and the ADB. 4. Reporting 159. Every six months, the EMO will submit an external monitoring report to the executing agency and directly to ADB. The report should summarise the findings of the EMO, including: (i) progress of resettlement plan updating and implementation, including any deviations from the provisions of the resettlement plan; (ii) identification of problem issues and recommended solutions so that implementing agencies are informed about the ongoing situation and can resolve problems in a timely manner; (iii) identification of specific issues related to vulnerable displaced peoples, as relevant; and (iv) a report on progress of the follow-up of issues and problems identified in the previous report. 160. The monitoring reports will be discussed in a meeting between the EMO, the executing agency and PMU held after submission of the reports. Necessary remedial actions will be taken and documented.

To estimate the approximate replacement land values at the time of preparing the resettlement plan the Hung Yen PPC land rates were increased by a factor of 40% and used as a proxy for replacement land values in the Resettlement Budget Estimate in this RP. To ensure compensation for assets, land, trees and crops is consistent with replacement cost at the time of compensation, a replacement cost study will be conducted throughout the period of updating the resettlement plan to ensure that replacement values are valid for the time of compensation. The agency to conduct the Replacement Cost Study will be engaged by the Hung Yen PPC and outputs of the study monitored both internally and externally and be subject to consultation with the affected persons.

Chairman, cadastre and the head, vice head of area. - HH: + 45 people of which: 28 male, 17 female (Huong Tram Area); + 39 people of which: 12 male, 27 female (Que Tao area)

The content of meeting: I. Introduction The Resettlement Team presented the sub projects for Viet Tri city in general and Duu Lau ward in particular, ADB’s policy of compensation – resettlement, and the different issues between Vietnam policy and ADB policy. The team informed the households of the survey and IOL and that would take place after the meeting. II. Recommendation of Affected Households 1. Mr. Đỗ Tất Trửng: We have lost not only residential land but also field. In the fact compensation for people are very low, we do not want to receive compensation because money is spent out, my proposal is that the project exchange land for land. 2. Mr. Đỗ Văn Lục : The area of land that the household will be lost is larger than before the project was acquired. So to calculate the impact on Ahs, the Project needs to add the lost part of previous times to determine the rate of loss of true losses. The project needs to tally specific, accurate and fully informed of the affected area and conduct adequate compensation before starting work progresses to avoid lawsuits and complaints. 3. Mr. Đỗ Tất Thắng: Most of our people are supportive of national development; in particular the construction of roads for socioeconomic development of local. But the project also needs to learn from previous projects done because most of the projects not properly apply the policy based on Decree No 69 and 197 of providing protection to Ahs, Therefore, we request the project compensation must be in accordance with policies of the Party and State. 4. Mr. Đỗ Tất Phi: Basically I am also very supportive of the project. But in addition I also wish that the State would be compensated with land because if people lost 100% of the land, it will affect the production affecting the lives of farmers who relies on the land for their income.

92 Appendix 2.5

5. Mr. Đỗ Tất Đọ: Require project for compensation based on policy, do not violate the rights of people by giving less than they deserve. 6. Mr. Đỗ Tất Dậu: Experience with the previous project, the project's suspension period is too much, we did not enjoy the benefits brought by the project. Our life is now stable; we don’t see the good outcome, only the loss. The primarily loss that affects our lives is livelihood of the family, then the future of their children, lost land that provides us what we need for family. My wish is: First, if the project materializes, the policy must ensure that people's lives are stabilized and secure as before the project took place. Second, the transfer must be planned so that people have time to prepare the money. Main sources of local people is agriculture; our children are not good in academic. So we want the project to help create jobs for our children and offer jobs for employment. 7. Mrs. Lê Thị Hồi: If the project is approved by the CPC, the project, people cannot disagree. If my family will lost cassava land, Is compensation? Is there any support? 8. Mr. Nguyễn Quang Vĩnh: We are aware that infrastructure must be developed and if the project is approved by the bank for provincial loans, of course this must be supported by the people.. The basic characteristic of Que Trao area at Duu Lau ward is that people live by cultivated land. Much of our land has been taken by the project before and now by another project again? If farm land is taken how do we survive? Therefore, we propose the projects should ensure that the life of the farmers are stable and provide alternative means such as vocational training for children of farmers. 9. Mr. Nguyễn Đình Thắng: The proposed road is National Road so that people generally agree to support this as this contributes to the development of people’s livelihood. But the project's staff must also know that in, our people mostly live by farming. Therefore, the residential and farm land must be compensated by land also so people can continue to live as usual. 10. Mrs. Lê Thị Tý: The land price of Group 2A here is fluctuating. Therefore, the compensation price must be explicit and precise, and must be approved by the affected households. 11. Mrs. Nguyễn Thị Hoa: Hills and farmland of my family lost a lot. So I hope the project will still provide land for my family to live on and hilly land compensation price is equal to the price of farmland. 12. Mr. Lê Văn Hữu: My family has lost a lot of land already. If all my family’s land are taken, I ask the project a lot to replace the land d for my children to live. 13. Mr. Lê Công Anh:

Appendix 2.5 93

The infrastructure projects to improve people's daily lives are supported by the people. However, the project must also comply with what has been agreed. Avoid saying one thing and doing another as what happened in Huong Tram area. Besides, the project design and implementation must take into account and guarantee for next remaining fields to ensure the irrigation and drainage for the farm because in previous projects, this was not completed and people have to suffer the consequence such as drought, flood. Therefore, this project if implemented must have water supply and drainage schemes and flood prevention to ensure production, irrigation, and farming for people. III. Responses from the Resettlement Group The Resettlement Team clarified all the answers and documented all opinions of the households, for discussion with the Project management.. This activity is just the initial stage it is only the initial information of the project, to get the views and consensus of the people. The next step will be the socio-economic survey of households and the cooperation of the group is solicited. B. Vân Phú ward – Việt Trì city

Introduction of the Project The Resettlement Team presented the sub projects for Viet Tri city in general and Duu Lau ward in particular, ADB’s policy of compensation – resettlement, and the different issues between Vietnam policy and ADB policy. The team informed the households of the survey and IOL and that would take place after the meeting. II. Issues and Recommendation of Affected Households 1. Mr. Trần Như Rộng: Households in Van Phu mainly are officers, soldiers, people have hard lives, the family lived for generations. Therefore it is not eligible to buy land, or buy a home. People are completely support the project but the project planners must, follow the steps, in accordance with procedure, compensation must be fair and just in giving compensation. These households have to move so there must be a resettlement area for residents and for people to know the resettlement site. Planners should also follow the policies and listen provide the appropriate support. They should listen to people’s aspirations. 2. Mrs. Quách Thị Xuyến: We have never heard of the project, we would like some information and we want the government give attention to the interests of the people; explain the benefits and effects of the project , how it would improve the economy of the people in the local area and of the country in general.

94 Appendix 2.5

3. Bùi Duân: Two groups of 8 and 9, almost 100% are staff and members of the military and Transport Works Company. Therefore, the understanding of policies is very clear and I myself is a construction professional. We want to know the meaning and purpose of the project. If that road is really beneficial, people will support the government. The relocation of households must be ensured with the same or better life because their current living condition is very poor. Road is important so there’s no reason for us to stay where road is not good. 4. Mr. Lê Trọng Kim: When the project is implemented, people must be compensated in accordance with policies of the State, compared to other province the compensation of Phu to is always lower. We should not be forced to get compensation lower than other province. 5. Mr. Trần Quang Hưng: People fully support the project to serve the people. But adequate compensation must be given to farmers. Sometimes project requires our land that’s our only legacy left for our family. III. Responses of the group The Resettlement Team clarified all the answers and documented all opinions of the households for discussion with the Project management. This activity is just the initial stage to get the views and consensus of the people. The next step activity was to conduct the socio-economic survey of households and the cooperation of the group was solicited.

The team informed the households of the survey and IOL and that would take place after the meeting. II. Recommendation of Affected Households 1. Mr. Nguyễn Văn Út: Compensation price must be adequate. Our agricultural land for farming production is similar in our area. When compensation should not be classified as land type 1 and type 2, type 3. The policy requires to pay compensation before construction to avoid cases that construction was already completed but payment of compensation is not satisfactory. We also asked the project construction to be careful not to dig the rest of field which affect farming, even though it has been abandoned. We suggest that CPC give officials to monitor the implementation of the project so that if there is some things needed it can give action immediately. 2 Mr. Nguyễn Ngọc Chinh: Total area of current agricultural land of my family is 6 acres, we lost 2 acres in the previous time, now Trường Chinh road continues to acquire our agricultural land, it will certainly affect the lives of our family. However the project is to expand people's life so we will still support. We desire compensation at market prices to support disadvantaged families. If the project take residential land, it must be taken all, then move us to the resettlement areas to ensure our accommodation. 3. Mr. Nguyễn Văn Thiện: We don’t question the policy of the State. However in our case, the area of our plot is not large, so, if the project acquires our plots, it should be fully compensated because the remaining area is too small, crooked or no longer viable for production. 4. Bùi Văn Cải: With the previous project, compensation for people is low, which affected people's income. After the construction project completed, leaving some brick and stone were left. The commune proposed to that project cleans up the area but nobody cleaned up. The result was left for the people doing hard work to clean the area. We need to learn from this experience.

96 Appendix 2.5

5. Bùi Xuân Trường: Our family fully supports the project. However, the need to learn from experience of previous projects which made life difficult for us due to long process and complicated procedures. Support for people affected agricultural land should be calculated for the entire area if the project acquires more than what is viable left. We urge provinces and cities to help train and create jobs for young people. 6. Nguyễn Thị Sinh: We Want to be informed of the design of the alignment of the project to know the extent of land acquisition and the time to conduct the project to prepare. 7. Bùi Tải: The family has six members, has 1.2 acres of land, approximately 6 sao in both of the two routes of Truong Chinh and Phu Dong. Currently, a section of Phu Dong road was constructed and acquired the family's land, but household has not received any kind of support yet. Therefore, we propose that before conducting project, it needs clarification on policy so that people can check and monitor benefits paid. 8. Nguyễn Văn Trường: Households losing agricultural land have to move to the resettlement area with adequate infrastructure. The area to compensate must be large because this is agricultural affected households. III. Responses of the group The Resettlement Team clarified all the answers and documented all opinions of the households for discussion with the Project management. This activity is just the initial stage to get the views and consensus of the people. The next step activity was to conduct the socio-economic survey of households and the cooperation of the group was solicited.

The team informed the households of the survey and IOL and that would take place after the meeting. II. Issues Raised and Recommendation of Affected Households 1. Mr. Nguyễn Văn Long: (Area 3) Most of the local resident’s income is based on the agriculture. When constructing the road, it will divide the road, no water supply and drainage pipe, therefore crops cannot continue to grow. I suggest that when implementing the project, there should be construction of the water supply and drainage system, so we can cultivate the rest of the field. 2. Mr. Nguyễn Văn Tích: (Area 3) If the rest of the area is just 100–200 m, I suggest that the project should be take all areas because with this small area, the farmer cannot cultivate and fallow field. 3. Mr. Nguyễn Thế Kỷ: (Area 9) The local residents will obey according to the regulation of Party and Central. However, if the Central covers land, it is necessary to have the reasonable compensation. Please note to create the job for the HH who lost plenty of land. 4. Mr. Nguyễn Đức Quyền: Hùng Lô commune is narrow and crowded. We lost 50% the total land area for the previous project. Compensation price is late and extended for several months, price is not only low but also devalued, so the local residents receive a small amount of money for compensation. Therefore, we suggest that compensation should be paid on time according to the policy and agreement dome with the local people. In terms of the HH with residential land and have to move to another place, it is very important to have the resettlement site ready for them in order to build the house and stabilize their lives. Poor and vulnerable HH should be supported according to policy, create the occupation for local resident so as to stabilize their living condition. 5. Mr. Nguyễn Đại Từ: Firstly, we totally agree and approve the project. We are farmers and we will lose all the

98 Appendix 2.5

productive land. Many generations live in there including our ancestor’s tomb. So, when implementing the project, we lose a lot of things. Therefore, we request that the compensation price should be reasonable, according to Government’s policy, agreement between local resident and investor. Besides that, the local government needs to announce clearly about the compensation price in order to ensure the local residents’ rights. 6. Mr. Nguyễn Văn Cường: (Area 9) When acquiring the house and living land, it’s necessary to have the resettlement site and have to compensation as soon as possible. III. Responses of the group The Resettlement Team clarified all the answers and documented all opinions of the households for discussion with the Project management. This activity is just the initial stage to get the views and consensus of the people.

The team informed the households of the survey and IOL and that would take place after the meeting.

II. Issues and Recommendation of Affected Households:

1. Ms. Đinh Thị Nhạn: Our communes are very poor with small area of farm land. We hope that if recovering the land, it is important to stabilize their lives, by giving us a reasonable compensation, equal to all HHs.

2. Mr. Kiều Đua: Truly, we cannot do something regarding our accommodation, but this is the Government’s plan, so we have to approve. However, we suggest that if resettled, it should have enough land for our children to live. It should be readily available. The Project should learn some lessons from the previous project (project for electricity, power station). The local resident were not satisfied with this project, giving stress and psychological effect.. When implementing the project, it should take account people needs and aspirations.

3. Mr. Đinh Xuân Thi: We hope the Project Planners understand the local residents’ desires and also the current situation of the province and follow the regulation. They need to stabilize the residents’ lives. If facing difficulties, there is a need to consult with the local resident again to discuss. It is very important to clarify regarding the land laws.

4. Mr. Tạ Xuân Đạt: (area 10) Our Kim Duc commune stays next to Hung Lo commune, but the compensation price is very different. The land price for Hung Lo is very high, but for Kim Duc the land price is very cheap. I suggest that the project should increase the compensation land prices and pay attention to cost of land.

III. Responses of the group The Resettlement Team clarified all the answers and documented all opinions of the households for discussion with the Project management.

Mr. Đàm Minh Phong: The family has 4 acres of fields, which has been lost by the industrial which is 2 acres, but no support at all. We propose that when determining the percentage of land acquisition, it must calculate both the previously acquired land area. If unit price for compensation is low, it cannot restore our life back as before. 2. Mr. Phan Văn Thái: Pay attention to compensation price according to market price. The life of local resident here are mainly based on the agriculture. The industrial zone was established but lack of skilled labor so they do not work often and unsustainable. They prefer to work in agriculture related work. 3. Mr. Vũ Đình Khuyên: Pay attention to the project’s design because I know in this area it still have the project for ecological lake, hoping the combination between 2 projects to work effectively, create more jobs to improve life for people in commune. 4. Mr. Đinh Văn Thắng: Because the compensation price of previous project is low, we hope the project will have the prices according to the market price, approximately 200.000d/m2 with some kinds of supporting). When implementing the project, there is a need to find experienced contractors to do, to avoid extending the time for construction as it affects our daily activities. 5. Ms. Kim Thị Ngọc Bích: Nội hamlet has will be acquired with a lot of land. People will get worried for the family's income later. Propose compensation price should be close to market prices. Commune needs to assist households with little land, with income generation or to support employment. 6. Ms. Tạ Thị Lan: Similarly she was very interested in compensation price and other assistance. She

desires that if compensation will be reduced it is disadvantageous for households losing land. III.

Project Information Booklet

Comprehensive Socioeconomic Urban Development Project

(Viet Tri, Hung Yen and Dong Dang)

PUBLIC INFORMATION BOOKLET

1. QUESTION: What is the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Comprehensive Socioeconomic Urban Development Project? ANSWER: The Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam proposes to develop Viet Tri, Hung Yen, and Dong Dang to complement Hanoi as northern Vietnam's economic centers and to contribute to the development of the North-South economic corridor. The project will provide improved urban infrastructure and municipal services in the project cities/town as well as strengthen local governments' urban management capacities. The Project will be financed by ADB. In Viet Tri, the Project components comprise construction of three urban roads and improvement of solid waste management. The roads consist of (i) Phu Dong Road (4.1 kilometers [km] connecting Noi Bai–Lao Cai expressway with the city center), (ii) north-west section of the city ring road (4.4km of Truong Chinh Road from the northern dyke road to Thuy Van Industrial Zone through Phu Dong Road), and (iii) south-west section of the city ring road (6.5km from Thuy Van Industrial Zone to the southern dyke). The solid waste management component will provide fleet and equipment for solid waste collection and transfer.

2. QUESTION: Who is responsible for the Project? ANSWER: The Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam will be represented Phu Tho Province People’s Committee (PPC) as the project owner and implementation of the Project will be the responsibility of the Viet Tri City People’s Committee (CPC). The Viet Tri PPC has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) to manage the implementation of the Project. A Social and Environmental Unit (SEU) will be established within the PMU to implement and monitor the Resettlement Plan. 3. QUESTION: Are the improvements of the roads and solid waste management intended to benefit us? ANSWER: Yes. Improved roads will enable the transportation of goods and people to be quicker, more efficient and cheaper. The new and improved roads will improve connections between the Noi Bai–Lao Cai expressway, Thuy Van Industrial Zone, and city center, as well as reduce traffic congestions in the central area by diverting the traffic from the National Road 2 to the city ring road. The roads to complete the western part of the city ring road from the northern dyke road to the southern dyke road and build a new road from the Noi Bai-Lao Cai expressway to the city center. The solid waste management component will expand the coverage of solid waste collection from households and transport

waste to the dump site by increasing the current collection volume of 120 tons/day to 150 tons/day. 4. QUESTION: If there road construction activities in our locality, will we be affected? ANSWER: The Project is expected to require the acquisition approximately 73 hectares (ha) of land for the 3 roads which will have a total length of 15km and corridor of land acquisition ranging from 40 meters (m) to 60m (dependent on numbers or lanes required as well as road height). The solid waste management component will not require any land acquisition. The preliminary design of the roads and alignment selection has attempted to minimize impacts on private land and houses as much as possible. During the detailed design phases efforts will be made to further reduce impacts on housing and land acquisition through review of technical designs and through consultations with the affected communities. In case the effects on land, house and structures cannot be avoided, affected persons will be properly compensated in cash or in kind for their land use, houses, structures, crops and trees, as well as communal properties in order for them to restore their lost asset, resource, or income. Rehabilitation assistance will also be provided to affected persons who will be required to relocate to another location. 5. QUESTION: What if my land will be affected by the Project?

ANSWER: For affected land, compensation can be in the form of replacement land or cash at current market value. If land has been the agreed form of compensation between affected persons and the Project, the replacement land should be of equal or better productive capacity of the lost land and satisfactory to affected persons. If replacement land is not available then the only option offered will be cash compensation at market value. 6. QUESTION: What are the entitlements that we have in order to be compensated? ANSWER: There will be a cut off date for entitlement to compensation and assistance which will be set and publically announced by the Viet Tri City People’s Committee. Those APs who have occupied and used the land prior to this cut off date are entitled to compensation if the project construction affects their land and/or structures. And for anyone who has encroached and occupied the land after the cut off date will not be eligible for compensation or assistance. 7. QUESTION: Does compensation apply to my affected houses or structures? ANSWER: Yes. Houses and structures that will be affected by the Project shall be compensated at replacement cost without deduction for depreciation or salvageable materials. Partially affected houses will be compensated for the lost affected portion as well as repair costs. Other structures (e.g. fences, wells, pavement) will also be compensated at replacement cost.

8. QUESTION: What about my crops and trees? ANSWER: For annual crops, affected persons will be given 2-months notice that the land on which their crops are planted will be used by the Project and that they must harvest their crops in time. If standing crops are ripening and cannot be harvested, eligible affecte persons can be compensated for the loss of the unharvested crops at the current market value. For perennial crops, affected persons will be compensated for the loss of fruit and timber trees at replacement value, which value will take account of lost potential income and time required to re-establish the perennial trees. This will compensate for lost income until the newly planted seedlings bear fruit. Affected persons will be awarded the full value of any lost crops where the plants are near or ready to harvest. 9. QUESTION: What about our common property resources like school building, cooperative land? ANSWER: For common property resources, the affected land will be replaced in areas identified in consultation with affected communities and relevant organizations. Affected building and structures will be restored to original or better condition. Cooperative farming land will be replaced with either other land (if available) or an alternative resource to benefit the material welfare of the affected community. 10. QUESTION: If in case there will be relocation of houses or businesses

involved, how can the Project help me rebuild my house during relocation? ANSWER: Affected persons will be offered option to choose between (i) arranging their own relocation with the compensation and assistance money received; (ii) assisted resettlement at a resettlement site, including plot of land and ready constructed house; and (iii) partially assisted resettlement consisting of resettlement lot but arranging the construction of their replacement housing themselves using the compensation money received. Resettlement sites are to be suitably located and have adequate infrastructure and access to services. Affected persons will be consulted on the selection and design of the resettlement sites. In addition to the above, affected persons’ households will also be entitled to allowances consisting of: (i) Transportation allowance; (ii) Rental assistance for a limited period (if needed); (iii) Additional cash allowances for those who self-relocate; (iv) Stabilization assistance for those who lose more than 10% of their productive land in addition to being required to relocate; and (v) Incentive bonus for those who relocate before announced project target dates for site clearance. The specific amounts for compensation rates as well as allowances and assistance will be advised at the time the resettlement plan is updated. 11. QUESTION: If in case our livelihoods are affected, how can the Project help me restore my livelihood and living standards?

ANSWER: The census and detailed measurement survey (DMS) will take note of the livelihoods of affected persons and any impacts the Project may have. The Project will provide various forms of assistance to enable affected people to restore their livelihoods and living conditions to at least pre-project levels. For vulnerable households (e.g. those classed as poor, disabled, etc.), the Project will seek to improve living standards to at least minimum national standards. Such forms of assistance will include: (i) cash subsistence allowances to households losing more than 10% of the productive assets equivalent to 30 kilograms (kg) of rice per household member per month for periods ranging from 6 to 36 months depending on the severity of impact and circumstances of the household; (ii) for those losing productive land, livelihood transition allowance equivalent to 1.5 times the compensation of the affected land; (iii) agricultural extension assistance; (iv) vocational training free of charge within the province for household members of working age for a limited period of time; (v) for vulnerable households cash social support allowances for 3 years, the level of such support will depend on the severity and type of loss; and (vi) potentially other forms of livelihood restoration support if deemed needed based on consultation with affected persons and project stakeholder during preparation of the updated resettlement plan. In addition the Project will seek to maximize project work opportunities to adults in the affected local communities (both men and women) during the implementation phases. Such opportunities will be announced in the local areas.

12. QUESTION: When will the detailed measurement survey be conducted? ANSWER: The activity will be carried out after the actual alignment has been determined. The activity will only be carried out in the presence of the affected persons. The affected persons and the local authorities will be informed prior to the activity. 13. QUESTION: How will the Project consult with me and provide information? ANSWER: The Project has prepared a communication and consultation plan. The Project will keep local communities informed of significant activities. Regular information will be provided to the ward/commune People’s Committees, village chiefs and local mass organizations. The local People’s Committees will maintain a public notice board where significant information and schedules will be posted. In addition to this affected households will be consulted directly through public consultation meetings on significant matters affecting them. Such public consultation meetings will take place (i) prior to the conduct of the DMS (to advise survey schedules and procedures), (ii) following the DMS (to advise of DMS results and proposed mitigation measures), (iii) during preparation of the updated resettlement plan (to identify appropriate livelihood restoration measures, advise of compensation rates and details of allowances and assistance measures as well as details of resettlement arrangements); and (iv) on-going through implementation of the resettlement plan. In

addition the Project will publically disclose the approved updated resettlement plan through a public information brochure (distributed to all affected households), by providing a translated version to each local People’s Committee for public access and by uploading it on ADB’s website. 14. QUESTION: If I disagree or problems arise during project implementation such as compensation, technical, and other project-related issues, do I have the right to voice my complaint? ANSWER: Yes. If the affected person is not clear about or not satisfied with the compensation package offered or, if for any reason, the compensation does not materialize according to the agreed schedule, the AP has the right to lodge a complaint. Grievance/queries from displaced peoples at the first instance may be lodged verbally or in written form with the Ward/Commune People’s Committee. The complaint shall be discussed in an informal meeting with the displaced people and the People’s Committee will be required to provide a decision/further advice on the issue within 15 days from the date the complaint is received. All meetings shall be recorded and copies of the minutes of meetings will be provided to displaced peoples. If no amicable solution can be reached or if no response is received from local People’s Committee within 15 days of registering the complaint, the displaced people can elevate the matter to the City Resettlement Committee (CRC) within 45 days of originally lodging the complaint. The CRC is expected to respond within 1 month

upon receiving the grievance. If the displaced people is not satisfied with the decision of the CRC or in the absence of any response, the displaced people can present the grievance to the Provincial People’s Committee. The PPC will review and issue a decision on the appeal within 30 days from the day it is received. If the displaced people is still not satisfied with the decision of the PPC or in the absence of any response within the stipulated time, the displaced people may submit his/her case to the court. The resettlement committees concerned will properly document all complaints and resolutions. Affected persons will be exempted from all taxes, administrative and legal fees. displaced peoples may keep the SEU of the PMU informed of the nature and status of any grievances presented at any point during the grievance redress process, but the PMU can not adjudicate on any of the grievances raised. If efforts to resolve disputes using the grievance procedures remain unresolved or unsatisfactory, displaced peoples have the right to directly discuss

their concerns or problems with the ADB Southeast Asia Department (SERD) either directly (No. 6 ADB Avenue, Mandaluyong City, Philippines), or through the ADB Vietnam Resident Mission. 13. QUESTION: When is the project expect to start? ANSWER: The project is expected to commence in December 2011. The updated resettlement plan will require at least 4 months to prepare and site clearance is expected to commence in the 4th quarter of 2011. Affected communities will be kept informed of updated activity schedules from January 2012. 14. QUESTION: How will you know if these undertakings are kept and the objectives of this Project are met? ANSWER: All project activities will be monitored by: SEU of the PMU and by an External Monitoring Organization (EMO).

Monthly Report and Quarterly Reports will be prepared and submitted to ADB. A post-resettlement impact evaluation will also be undertaken to assess whether impacts of the Project have been mitigated adequately and the pre-project standard of living of affected persons have been restored as a result of the resettlement and project. ADB will also monitor these activities in its regular supervision missions during project implementation. Semi-annual reports of the EMO will be disclosed to affected communities. 15.

TERMS OF REFERENCE – REPLACEMENT COST STUDY PPTA 7516-SOCIECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

I. The Project 1. The proposed Socioeconomic Development Project comprises of various subprojects of two cities and a town namely: Viet Tri City, Hung Yen City and Dong Dang. The subprojects include: (i) roads, (ii) solid waste management, (iii) border gate, and (iv) river embankment. Within the project scope of these subprojects are households that will be affected by land acquisition. II. Affected Persons 2. It is estimated that approximately 1075 households will be affected by land acquisition. There will also be some businesses that will be adversely affected owned by affected persons. III. Objectives 3. The team shall verify and establish compensation rates for land, structures, trees and crops to ensure that Project affected persons are compensated at replacement cost. 4. The team members will be composed of:

(i) Representative from local authorities (land manager and head of village); and (ii) Replacement Cost Survey surveyors.

IV. Approach 5. The establishment of replacement costs will be carried out based on information collected from both desk research and direct interviews with people in affected area, both those persons who are affected and those not affected. 6. Desk research will focus on relevant publications, materials of Government authorities, both at central and local levels. However, these materials will play the supporting role only. As the work is aimed at obtaining reasonable replacement costs for different types of affected assets, market evidences are the factors which most strongly base the formulation of these costs. Direct interviews with people in the affected area, both those, whose assets are affected by the Project and those, whose assets are not, will produce reliable data for establishment. V. Methodology 7. Methodologies to verify the replacement costs for each type of affected assets are described in the following parts. Sample sizes below are indicative and will be confirmed by consultation between the valuer and the resettlement specialists. Data collection 1. Land 8. The objective of this establishment is to determine whether the provincial prices are sufficient or not to purchase the same quality and quantity of land. The establishment of compensation for the loss of land is based on its market value. The best way to obtain this market value is to gather data of some sales of land, which have just taken place. However, the

Appendix 2.7 107

transfer of land use right does not always go along with such sales, which makes details of such sales not recorded. The surveyors will make their best effort to collect those sales evidences to support the verification of provincial prices. In addition, information to base the establishment will be collected from direct interviews with owners of land in Project affected area, including those, whose land is resumed and those whose land is not. The interviews will cover the following issues:

(i) The recent land use rights transfer in the area; (ii) The price, at which owners (affected and not affected persons) are willing to sell

their land.

9. Apart from determining the rates for various types of land. The valuer also need to determine the transaction costs involved such as administrative charges, taxes, registration and titling costs. The valuer should bear in mind that when establishing replacement cost for each type of assets, transaction costs should be clearly specified and should be shouldered by the Project. Sample size:

Owner of affected land: 5 households per ward/commune

Owner of non-affected land (adjacent to affected land or in similar area)

5 households per ward/commune.

2. Structures

10. The objective of this establishment is to determine whether the provincial prices enable APs to rebuild their affected structures. The establishment of compensation for affected structures is based on the principle of replacement cost. The information to base the establishment will mainly be collected from direct interviews with parties involved, including owners of structures (both those whose structures are affected by the Project and those whose structures are not affected), construction contractors specialized in residential building. 11. The interviews will be conducted based on a pre-developed interview guide, which will cover the following issues: 2.1 Interviews with owners of structures: a. Construction materials:

(i) Main materials they used for their current structures (ii) Type of shops where they bought construction materials (iii) Distance of transport (iv) Origin of the materials (local or overseas) (v) Costs of various materials.

b. Labor (i) Who built the structures: owners themselves or contractors, if

owners built themselves, they use their own labor or hire other people.

2.2 Interviews with construction contractors: (i) Main materials which are most used by the local people to build

108 Appendix 2.7

their structures; (ii) Costs for those main materials; (iii) Cost of labor; (iv) Average construction cost (cost per m2 floor) for different types of

houses according to different categories; (v) Validation of provincial construction prices (cost per m2 floor for

each category).

12. The structures will include but not limited to the following: (i) Houses (ii) Kitchens (in case they are separated from houses) (iii) Toilets, bathrooms (in case they are separated from houses) (iv) Any other structure associated to the house

Sample size:

Non-state owners of structures affected by the Project:

3 households per ward/commune

Owners of structures not affected by the Project: 3 households per ward/commune

Construction contractors:

- Private construction companies/groups: 3 companies/groups - Shops retailing construction materials: 10 shop owners.

2.3 Other community-based development projects and other facilities (electric

posts, water supply system, water pipes) For those facilities, the establishment will be based on the replacement costs. Similarly in the case of structure, cost to construct those facilities will be determined to see whether the compensation is enough to reconstruct them. Information to base the evaluation will be conducted with officials in charge of constructing such facilities to determine material cost and labor cost.

3. Trees

13. The objective of this establishment is to determine whether the intended provincial prices to be paid to APs are equivalent, lower or higher than the average market price. The basis of the establishment is to determine the average market price for each type of tree. The information to base the establishment will be collected from:

(i) Secondary sources:

Publications of National Statistical Office

Publications of Price Committee (ii) Primary sources:

Interviews with people who own the same trees in the locality. The interviews will cover:

price, at which owners are willing to sell each type of trees. The prices for perennial trees will be differentiated by the age of the trees.

Team will investigate the sales price of outputs of different type of trees in the market.

Sample size:

Owners of crops and trees affected by the Project: 10 households

Appendix 2.7 109

Owners of crops and trees not affected by the Project:

10 households

Market vendors: 5 persons

VI. Establishment of Replacement Cost 14. Replacement Cost = Current Market Value + Transaction Cost 15. Apart from determining the rates for land and non-land assets indicated above. The valuer also need to determine the transaction costs involved such as administrative charges, taxes, registration and building permit costs. The valuer should bear in mind that when establishing replacement cost for each type of assets, transaction costs should be clearly specified to ensure that these expenses or costs are shouldered by the Project and should not be deducted from the compensation payment that each AP will receive. A separate section in the report should present how transaction costs are calculated.

1. Current Market Value

16. Based on the activities carried out: (i) present the methodology used, and (ii) prepare a table and discuss among the team the unit rates to be applied for the project.
