1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
1. The Project represents a 5-year time slice of Electricity of Viet Nam’s (EVN) transmission expansion program, covering 500 kilovolt (kV) and 220 kV transmission lines and associated
substations. The Project covers the northern part of Viet Nam, which is relatively poor. The Project
will enable power to be supplied to the planned industrial zones in the region, thereby facilitating
employment and income-generating opportunities. Thus, it will benefit the poor and ethnic minorities
living in the project area.

2. The Project is to (i) strengthen the northern transmission network to improve system
reliability and quality of supply, (ii) facilitate power transfers by removing transmission bottlenecks,
(iii) reduce transmission losses, and (iv) facilitate efficient utilization of existing and planned power
plants.
3. EVN is the Executing Agency (EA) responsible for overall implementation of the Project. The
Project will be implemented as a sector loan, and additional subprojects will be introduced during
implementation. NPPMB and CPPMB, as the implementing agencies, will be responsible for the day-
to-day implementation of the 500 kV and 220 kV project substations and transmission lines.
Adequately staffed project offices have been established in the Hanoi headquarters of NPPMB and
CPPMB to supervise the Project. The loan was approved on 21 December 2005, signed on 22
August 2006 and declared effective on 24 November 2006 for a total amount of $360 million.
Original loan closing date was 30 June 2010 which was extended thrice until 31 December 2013, 30
June 2014 and 31 December 2014.

Observation: LIC directly interviewed AHs at their houses, while observing their living
standards and the convenience. In addition, LIC interviewed AHs on how they use the
money and the methods to restore livelihoods of AHs after the project
24.
Quantitative analaysis: Collect the information of affected household, 100% of
heavy affected household and 20% of other affected household.
25. The methods were applied throughout the following process: (i) Sampling process (sample
selection and size); (ii) Data collection and analyzing; and (iii) Implementation arrangement.
Sampling and sample size
Sampling
26. AHs were the target group, including: (i) resettlers, (ii) households loosing more than 10% of
agricultural land, (iii) households loosing agricultural land and/or forestland and/or garden …LIC chosen to interview 20% of total AHs including about 20% severely affected households (resettlers and
households loosing more than 10% land).
27. The selection of interviewees was made in two steps: (i) selecting surveyed districts and (ii)
selecting AHs in the communes. In the selected districts, AHs were selected based on simplified
random selection method, from the list of AHs by subproject. In the selected households, the
interviewer prioritized heads of the households. In case they could not do not, the interviewers asked
other family members (who are from 18 to 60 years old, in their right mind, etc. In case they could not
meet AHs (working elsewhere, not at home after two visits, etc) the interviewer replaced them with
other AH next to that AH.
Sample size
The sample size was selected to represent the total AHs in the project. In this survey, the sample size
was identified based on the following principles: (i) 20% of total AHs (ii) 20% of total severely AHs
(resettlers, more than 10% agricultural land area). 10% samples were added (about 160 households)
of the interviewed households in case the selected AHs refuse to answer or working elsewhere or for
any reasons of not answering the questions. The sampling is as follows:

32. Out of the 1376 people surveyed, the majority of the affected people are Kinh, accounting
68.8% of the respondents. However, the project also affects EMs such as Muong, Thai, Mong and
San Diu. These EMs mainly concentrated in two subprojects of Son La - Nho Quan Hoa Binh and Son
La - Hiep Hoa.
33. EMs affected by the project is distributed in the provinces of Son La, Hoa Binh, and a few
districts in Phu Tho. EMs has seperated language and culture. Most of the project areas are
convenient to transport links, infrastructure, as well as basic social services. Agriculture is their main
source of income including annual agricultural crops as well as the type of product to be harvested
from the forest: wood, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, as well as the exploitation of non-timber products
to serve their life.
34. Today, EMs has access to all production activities, animal husbandry as well as the business
of the Kinh (agricultural trade, handicrafts, as well as models of agriculture production...). Most of them
go to school and are able to communicate in Vietnamese (except for some elderly and illiterate).
Therefore, they also contribute to the development of the region in general and in particular projects.

groups use the wooden housing with the architecture of their ethnicity.
52. The surveyed resultes presented that the ownership and the form of the households changes in
comparision with pre-project implementation. Especially for relocation HH. Most of resettlement HH
have rebuilt a new house, in the resettlement areas, as well as their land accordingly their needs. The
observation results showed that the new housings of resettlement HH are better than the on in the
past. Working with these HHs, they said they felt happy about their new home. Households only have
affected land, property, some HH use the money to repair and rebuild their homes.
4.1.5. Access to Infrastructure and Social Services
49. 23 resettlement sites of the sub-projects are built in project communes and they are near with
old places. Therefore, the access to basic social services, including health, transport, electricity and
schools are favorable. Moreover, in the project provinces, during 10 years of project implementation of,
the government of Vietnam has implemented some programs and projects to improve the
infrastructure, inclduing transportation projects, Northern mountainous poverty reduction programs, the
new rural program, 135, ... has invested in subprojects districts / communes. All districts and
communes have inter- district and inter-commune road. Besides, many districts also developed
waterways, transported by boat, raft for commodities such as bamboo, wood or sand mining in the
river ....
53. Health services: All the project communes have health stations, districts has the general hospitals
to meet the health care needs of local people. Households can access health services through this
channel. Also, communes and villages also have other private clinics else.
50. Market: subproject areas have marketplaces for trading, buying and selling. Markets are
arranged depending on the local and meetings rotate periodically. People can access the market via
the transport system of communes and districts.
55. Schools: communes have nursery schools, primary schools, secondary school and high
secondary school. The high secondary school is arranged for the village cluster or in a location
convenient for transportation. Most of the people in these areas have access to education, especially
for young people.
4.1.6. Participation in neighborhood or community groups
51. The project's impact caused by T/L is small and mostly relocated households selected self
relocation. For the displaced households in resettlement areas, HH are consulted to select locations to
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 24
build resettlement areas and entire resettlement sites are located in the communities of the displaced
households, so the displaced people are not much affected by the loss of relationships, the
connections in the community.
52. The survey results presented that 80% of respondents participated in the mass organizations
at the local movement: farmer’s union, women union, youth union, veteran’s union.The project
information are also informed and disclosure in community meetings, thus HH know fully about the
project information.
4.2. Compensation and resettlement
4.2.1. Resettlement and livelihood restoration
53. The compensation for land affected by project was applied regulation and law. After the 2003
Land Law put in use, Project province People’s Committees issue the regulation related to annual unit
price of land, trees and crops and structures for compensation calculation. The DMS results presented
that there is not business affected by the project.
54. During the resettlement of AHs, they had been informed about the involuntary resettlement
policy and involved in selecting and preparation of resettlement sites. The RPs and compensation
plans had been disclosed to APs during community meetings and loudspeakers. APs were also
consulted on safety while working under the high voltage transmission lines.
55. DMSs were conducted for the assets of AHs (land, crops and trees and structures). Most of
the assets were adequately counted (some case of inadequacy, additional DMS was carried out upon
the request of AHs).
56. Compensation plan for AHs included the amounts for compensation and assistance for AHs
which were very clear and detailed (compensations for land, crops and trees, and structures) and the
assistance together with compensation were paid to all AHs.
57. Payment of compensation and assistance was conducted in a public and transparency way, at
the coordination and witness of NPPMB staff and local staff as well as AHs. Documents related to the
project were relayed to the AHs, both the husband and wife had been signed in the payment receipts.
58. In general, the payment of compensation did not meet with difficulties thanks to consultation
and consensus with the local people in advance. There was no incident during compensation.
59. Payment of compensation was conducted in line with the procedures and processes (with the
participation of local leaders, Center for Land Fund Development, NPPMB, Bank, Police …).
60. All entitlements of APs including compensation and allowances have been delivered to them
prior to displacement from their houses, land, and assets. In some cases, where construction of
resettlement site could not be completed before displacement the rent has been provided for relocated
household until a plot has been allocated in the resettlement site. For vulnerable affected households
including poor and ethnic minority people, addition to compensation, special allowances have been
provided to help them improve their socio-economic status. Severely affected households have been
also provided allowances of job training and subsistence so that they have restored and improved their
living standard.
61. After receiving the compensation payment, during consultation process of RP implementation,
all relocation HH wanted to build thier new houses accordingly their needs. For households received
plots in resettlement sites, they carried out building houses. Some households have not built or selling
to another person. For households who did no receive plots in resettlement sites, they built houses on
the remaining land. LIC found that, there is not impact on livelihood restoration for households in

resettlement sites or built houses, in the fact, the resettlement sites are near the old place where they
live in the past.

4.2.2. Before and after land acquisition and resettlement comparison
62. The survey results presents that there is a change both income and job of AHs.The socio-
economic survey of RP implementation shows that the average incomes of AHs is 600 thousand /
person / month. At the time of evaluation, the average income has increased by about 792 thousand /
person / month. In the fact, these households have used the compensation payment to continue
agricultural production and investment in farming or business.

Source: Socio-economicsurvey by LIC, August, 2014
63. The survey results present that the change of job structure is quite obvious for AHs. The ratio
of employees has increased from 10.2% to 19.3%, the ratio of agriculture reduced, accounting for
68.2% of total surveyed households. In project areasl, in addition to L2225 project, there are some
programs and projects, this led to this change. For example, in Hiep Hoa 500kV station subproject,
who are beolw 40 year-olds or younger were involved in secondary job, such as masonry, motor-bike
repairment, carpentry ... Those people who are in the age group of 20-30 often do as workers for
industrial areas such as Yamaha, Samsung, or Pho Yen industrial zone ...
Box 2: Model of change of job structure in Hiep Hoa – Bac Giang
Currently, Bac Giang has 39 traiditional handicraft villages (to the end of 2015, 2 more villages) recognized by PPC; including 14 traditional handicraft villages, in addition to nearly 14.3 thousand of handicraft workshops with processing industries such as agriculture and forestry product; mechanical production; building materials; crafts, weaving, paper making do ... attract significant local labor and labor from other places. In the past, mostly rural labor resources have low education levels, seasonal workers are low disciplined. By implementing the criteria of employment and education structure mentioned in the national criteria of new rural has contributed to reduce the percentage of workers in the field of agriculture - forestry – fishery, it is expected at the end of 2015 was 56% ; the trained-employment rate reached 47% (up 13.5% compared to 2011), in which trained worker reached 30.5%, meet 2015 target sooner 1 year. This is annually addition labor resource and provide to local enterprises.
The success of the expansion and development of industry, handicraft and traditional craft villages has contributed to change of economic and labor structure, land accumulation and consumption of agricultural products. This is an important making change of economic and labor structure, the ratio of agricultural labor is transferred workers. This helps to improve income for rural people.

64. There are employment opportunities in garment and other factories in the provinces/ districts
and there are existing training courses offered by the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 27
Affairs (DOLISA) to help members of AHs to obtain employment. However, shifting to non-
agricultural work remains a challenge for people who are more than 50 years old due to the
preference of factories to hire younger applicants. Trading is another opportunity, but would require
good planning, location and capital. Because of these challenges, many older APs are resigned to
the idea of not finding alternative jobs, and relying only on the capacity of the younger members of
their HHs to find better paying and sustainable jobs, thereby adding economic strain to the
household.
65. The success of resettlement planning in restoring living conditions is thus inextricably bound
to income restoration, and effective income restoration in turn necessitates a clear understanding of
livelihoods, capacities and risks faced by those displaced.
66. The crucial role that women play in the socio-economic well-being of the HH can often be
overlooked when AHs’ livelihoods are only examined at the HH level. The nature of women’s work can often be quite different to that of men. The implications for resettlement are that these
differences in the general characteristics of productive work mean that women can experience
different risks and impacts on livelihoods compared to men. Work located close to the home tends to
be the income source most severely affected by resettlement. Women’s separate incomes, while generally lower than those of men, are an important element for empowerment within the HH and
make a significant contribution to HH wellbeing. Overall, lost incomes for women pose significant
risks in terms of increased time, poverty, disempowerment within the family as well as
impoverishment of HHs.
4.3. Restoration of livelihoods
4.3.1. Income restoration models/programs
67. Following Decision No. 1956/QD-TTg dated 27 November 2009 of the Prime Minister, and
Decision No. 1201/QD-TTG dated 31 August 2012 of the Prime Minister approving the National Target
Program on Employment and Training for the period of 2012–2015, local authorities in subproject area:
Organize annual surveys on labor supply and demand and develop a database of households within the communes;
Established a steering committee to oversee the implementation of the employment and training plan in the commune;
Conduct information dissemination on the vocational training scheme for rural laborers;
Guide departments, divisions and missions in implementing the vocational training program; and
Monitor the implementation of vocational training classes in the commune.
68. Vocational training and job referrals have been implemented widely, resulting in significant
improvement in skills development, job creation, and increasing income of people in the commune.
This program is carried out for people under working age affected resulting from land acquisition by
various projects in the province/district. Members of AHs) losing agricultural land under the Project
are eligible to participate in one short term vocational training course (up to 6 months) free of charge.
The main State provider of vocational training is the Provincial DOLISA as stated in Decision
1956/QD-TTg.
69. In the fact, income restoration program for the AHs has not implemented in project area. The
reason is that the ratio of severely affected households is small (less than 10% of total AHs) and not
focus (only 21 resettlement sites of Project). Aside from compensation for tác assets Costs Applying
the unit stipulated by PPC, những HHs received assistances phụ thuộc on Regulations in each
province, như relocation assistance, and temporary housing assistance, and finding new residence and bonus for themselves.
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 28
70. In the project areas have some programs and projects, includinge 30A, 135, ... of the
government. Therefore, programs of job training, job change have combined into these programs. AHs
have not only received support from L2225 project but also receied from nother projects done in local
areas.

71. The vulnerable groups had chances of income improvement in construction time (hire local
labour) or receive allowances from the project, such as vocational training and particularly allowance
for vulnerable groups and priority access to microfinance loans for economic development. In general,
vulnerable groups felt quite happy with the project allowance. The implementation of the project
activities has brought quite sustainable opportunities for vulnerable groups. They can have access to
various resources through local organizations and unions
72. Generally, resettled HHs received same assistances such as relocation assistance,
assistance to self-resettled HHs, incentive for relocation by progress; assistance for occupation
change and job creation, assistance for electricity fee, assistance for vulnerable HHs etc…Mostly
HH did have any complaint (excepts HH of Mr Trần Thanh Tùng under Sơn La – Hiêp Hoà
subproject).
73. For the resettled HH received plots in resettlement sites felt happy, because the location is not
far from their old home. Thus, there is not difference for their relationship and livelihood. These
households who did not receive land in resettlement sites often built houses in the remaining area,
they also receive compensation amount as well as project allowance.
74. Those HHs only having their land and assets affected were provided with assistance for
occupation change and job creation. In addition, HHs who were temporally affected during project
construction were provided with assistance for their affected assets (for example: soil, sand filled on
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 29
productive land, damages caused to trees etc). All AHs did directly receive compensation in
payment meetings with participation of NPPMB, DCRB and local commune/village’s authority at the appointed time which was notified to HHs. The receivers all signed for confirmation in the list of
compensation payment receivers. For households losing of asset, land, crop and tree, compensation
payment completed. There is not any compalints (except five/5 HH of Trại village, Lê Lợi commune,
Thường Tín district, Hanoi).
75. The project had no impacts on public and spiritual works and thus, no impacts on the
community’s benefits in local activities. Therefore, traditional and cultural features suffered no influence.

76. In order to ensure the entitlement of severely AHs, NPPMB should closely coordinate with
local authority to prepare a list of severely AHs which then shall be sent to District Agriculture
Extension Center (agriculture extension services) and the district Vocational Training Centre
(training).
4.3.2. Restoration of livehoods
77. The income restoration has been implemented through allowances in cash as RPF required,
including: job training, job change for wholly project.
78. Vulnerable Groups: According to the RPF, vulnerable groups include the (i) female-headed
households with dependents; (ii) disabled household heads; (iii) poor households; (iv)landless
elderly households with no means of support; and (v) households without security of tenure.
Vulnerable group have to receive a cash allowance equivalent to 30 kg of rice per family member
per month for a minimum period of six months as per RPF. LIC found the number of vulnerable
households through DMS data. The data of vulnerable groups presented that (i) Son La-Hiep Hoa
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 30
T/L has 146 poor HHs; (ii) Hiep Hoa substation has 95 poor HH; 40 female-headed HHs ; (iii) Kim
Dong substation had 15 poor HH; 42 female-headed HHs and (iv) Thuong Tin- Kim Dong T/L had 3
poor HHs, 40 female-headed HHs and these two subprojects had none ethnic minorities HHs. They
received a specific allowance equivalent to 2.000.000 VND/AH.
79. For households losing of asset and land, the remaining land is enough to produce, there is not
much difficulty. Resettled HHs has disruption due to housing rebuilding. However, LIC found, the
remaining land area is combined with project allowances, their livelihoods are restored.
80. It can be seen that, some findings related to livelihood restoration of subproject presents
following paragraphs:
Son La - Hiep Hoa subproject: Households received allowances for r livelihoods
restoration. In this sub-project, there were some households losing more than 10% of
productive land. However LIC found, their livelihood restored. The infrastructure works
in the resettlement sites completed and handed over to the household here. Currently,
only case of Mr. Tran Thanh Tung still lives under operated transmission lines, and has
not built new house in resettlement sites. Phu Tho town PC coordinated with
stakehoders settle this case.
Hiep Hoa 500kV Substation subproject: completed payment of additional alowance for
200 seriously affected households losing more than 10% of total gricultural land in the
end of 2013. The surrounding fence of station made difficulties for sewerage. Thus,
stakeholder should study to construct a pumping station to ensure drainage in rainy
season. Besides, the operation of the substation use regular light system at nigh, this
attracts worms, butterflies and affects agricultural production. NPPMB should consider
to solve this situation.
220kV Thanh Hoa - Vinh T / L: Completed compensation and assistance payment for
households in 10 districts / cities in 2 provinces of Thanh Hoa and Nghe An.
220kV Tuyen Quang substation: Completed compensation and assistance payment,
especially severely AHs and 04 resettled AHs (issued LURC for resettlement plots)
based on DMS result. Both husband and wife were named in LURC. Besides, some
HH felt unhapply for temporarily affected land used by the contractors, because the
contractor used land without their acceptance ( they provided compensation payment
for affected asset on land).
500kV Son La - Nho Quan – Hoa Binh T/L : Completed compensation and assistance
payment.
Hai Duong 220kV station: Completed compensation and assistance payment
220kV Bim Son: Completed compensation and assistance payment (including 2 HHs
of Nguyen Thi Nhuong and Le Thi Voi). The contractors handled land spill out some
land in the construction time.
220kV Kim Dong: Completed compensation and assistance payment
220kV Thuong Tin - Kim Dong: Completed compensation and assistance payment. AT
this moment, only 5 households in Tari villafe, Le Loi commune, Thuong Tin District
requires land for land. LFDC has coordainted with stakeholders to soon settle.
81. The full package of compensation resulted in all interviewed households being able to live
better condition than previous. The AHs received compensation for the structures and no deductions
were made for the value of the salvageable material from their former houses. It was noted that new
houses built were larger and of better quality than their original houses. For Son La – Hoa Binh –
NhoQuan T/L, Son La – Hiep Hoa T/L and 4 HHs of subproject Tuyen Quang 220 kV substation,
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 31
some of the affected houses have been relocated onto remaining land owned by the affect
households. Therefore, compensation provided to AHs appears to be satisfactory. With the
compensation received, AHs were able to buy an equivalent plot of land in a RS or at an individual
site in the same vicinity. They were also able to build a larger house and of better quality.
Box 3: opinion by local citizens in project area
‘In Tien village Thung Nai commune, many affected HHs converted land use purpose from farm land
to residential land. Districts must be adjusted annual price fluctuations. The Red Book is done in
parallel with to compensation payment for land and new house construction.’ (Dinh Van Thanh, CPC chairmen Binh Thanh Commune, Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province)
"You can see, most households which have been relocated have relocated onto remaining land.
Relocated houses were reconstructed on the AH’ land owned by themselves and they were safe and
far away the transmission lines.Where AHs were relocated off their own property, they were able to
use compensation money to purchase land in the immediate vicinity of their original house, and to
build a new house’’. (Vu Dinh Viet, Chairman of DRC and Vice Chairman CPD of Cao Phong
district, Hoa Binh province.)
((Source: Socio-economic survey by LIC, August, 2014)
82. In summary, most HHs were satisfied with the project compensation and assistance. Self-
relocated HHs did reconstruct their houses, which were mostly better than their old one. There was
no enterprise/trading HH affected by the project. Vulnerable groups were able to access job creation
opportunities via project compensation and assistance.
83. Issuanceof Land Use right Certificate (LURC), which serves as ownership document for the
new plot of land, in a resettlement site or for individual plot, has not been provided to all relocated HH
due to slow process. Currently, only 8 RS completed issuance of LURC.

84. For the issuance of LURC of resettled households in resettlement sites, as LIC knows that
Department of Natural Resources and Environment of District (or LFDC) is repsonsible for issurance of
LURC. However, the procedures for change of land use purpose local needs appraisal, thus, this leads
to extended time. In addition, some resettled households said that they do not need to use LURC due
to in the process of life restoration, so, the time of LURC issurance may take longer than they
expected. Currently, local government has mobilized quickly households to soon complete the
procedure to LURC issurance, to ensure their entitlement.
4.4. Public, participation, consultation and Grievance resolution
4.4.1. Public Consultation, Disclosure, and Participation
85. The main objectives of information disclosure, stakeholders participation and consultation with
APs aim: (i) provide AHs project information, both project components and operation; (Ii) collect
information on the needs and desire of AHs and affected communities, their views to project policies
and activities; (iii) mobilize the cooperation and participation of AHs in the proposed activities related to
the preparation and implementation of RP; (iv) ensure AHs can participate and express their direct
opinions to income and life restoration; and (v) ensure transparency in the process of land acquisition,
relocation and life restoration.
93. The information disclosure has been made for all AHs. AHs understand fully about the
implementation project as well as the grivance mechanism, compensation and allowance of the
project. However, the implementation of information disclosure is not uniform and frequently, because,
project areas goes through many provinces/districts/communes. Mostly commune staffs are part-time
workers ... Overall, the project gets effectiveness to provide the information to AHs.
94. The consultation results present that, the meeting was held for AHs. In addition, the project
information is combined into community meetings, village meetings. The meeting time is flexible and
they are usually in the evening to ensure the participation of AHs. Participants in community meeting
included both men and women. These meetings often held in house of the village heads or community
house. LIC reliazed that, all AHs fully informed about the project and the project's impact
95. At the project area where ethnic minorities live, in addition to arrangement of suitable meeting
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 33
time, the use of language is also particularly considered. In the fact, LIC reliazes that mostly ethnic
minorities in the project areas can understand and speak Kinh language. The project areas have also
implemented many projects/program so they know fully about project cycle. In addition, selling of
agricultural products also helps to reduce the gap of language of EMs group in the project area.
Therefore, Kinh language is used in community meetings (only a small number of elderly people, the
use of Kinh language is limited - such as project staff used local interpreters to consult with them .
96. In addition, project information is often consulted on compensation and resettlement regulation
according to the current regulations of Vietnam. Very few people can understand ADB policy. Local
AHs only care about the money and where are their resettlement plots?
97. AHs also involved in DMS and they signed in the inventory minutes of the project. However,
the inventory records can present a part of affected asset, not clarify that households belonging to
which groups (vulnerable households, resettled households ...). Thus, LIC met some difficulties to
check allowance accordingly project RPF.
4.4.2. Grievance Resolution
86. During the consultation process, project staff informed grivance mechanism for affected
households. Besides, during the DMS, to avoid complaints, public disclosure was made at the office of
CPC. Since then, complaints will be collected and processed, resolved in the meeting. These
complaints often involve to the lack of inventored assets and additional requirements. Mostly these
complaints settled.
87. According to the regulation of the Law on Complaints in 2011, and Decision No 75 on the
implementation of the Law on Complaints, all complaint must be recorded to solve. The settlement
results must be publicly posted at the CPC’s office Howeve, mostly sub-projects are not carried out this
process, working with District Compensation Board of the Project presents that the implementation of
this issue is not good. Besides, NPPMB did not consider this issue, thus, LIC met difficulties to
synthese the complainants.
88. Some problems during the compensation, resettlement and site clearance of the sub-projects
are as follows: (i) provision of allowance for 83 vulnerable households in Hiep Hoa substation, (ii)
compensation for small and not viable remaining land area affected by Thuong Tin-Kim Dong
transmission line, (iii) disagreement of 16 AHs on low compensation price for land in Nghi Loc district,
Nghe An province and Nong Cong district, Thanh Hoa province under Thanh Hoa-Vinh transmission
line, (iv) complaint of Mr. Tran Thanh Tung about compensation price and relocation in Phu Tho town
under Son La-Hiep Hoa transmission line, and (v) issuance of LURC for relocated HHs. At time of this
mission, all above pending issues have been resolved by responsible agencies, except issuance of
LURC:
83 vulnerable AHs have been provided allowance by cash equal to 30kg of rice per person per month
for 6 months for all members of the HHs.
In Thuong district, Ha Noi PC has approved compensation plan for the small and infeasible remaining
land area, payment for AHs has been done.
Nghe An and Thanh Hoa provinces have recruited independent appraisers to evaluate the market land
price and paid compensation for the complainants according to the market price.
NPPMB agreed to pay 100% compensation amount for Mr. Tran Thanh Tung’s affected house (not 50% as proposed). He agreed but still asking allocation of 3 plots in resettlement site for his household
whereas he is eligible for one plot of 400m2 only. Currently, he is building a new house in the
resettlement site.

Box 4: Feedback of people on grievance redress
"We sent our complaints to the commune. The commune endorsed and relayed to the project about our case. We
waited for about 30 days, before we received feedback from the Project on the assistance policy for our family. We
agreed with the compensation rate and handed over the site to the construction unit” (Tran Van Lam, Tung Lam
commune, Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa Province).
"Out family mostly doing agriculture. Now the land is acquired, we afraid that the farming is not enough. We want
land-for-land compensation to ensure the production. However, the project informs us that due to the local land
fund is not available so they cannot arrange land-for-land compensation. Also other agencies and organizations
visited us to talk to us about that. After sometime we agree because we think we should let go some of the benefits
to contribute to the work of the country” (Nguyen Van Thu, Dien Chau district, Nghe An Province).
"We ready to move, however we should have 3 resettlement lots, since our children got married still living with us,
so we need more land for them. Regarding affected land and assets, we want to be compensated properly
according to the law. We sent our letter to Provincial Peoples Committee of Phu Tho for consideration.” (Tran
Thanh Tung, Phu Thu town, Phu Tho Province).

4.5. Effectiveness of resettlement planning
4.5.1. Resettlement Objects
According to the Consultant’s assessment, agencies responsible for preparation of RP / DDR (VICA,
CEFACOM) conducted the resettlement plan rather than the actual situation. According to RP / DDR
and actual situation, there are 9309/9409 AHs for the project. In addition, resettled HH determined in
the first phase, this helps to prepare the capital, resettlement sites as well as implementation plan to
better support these AHs.

89. Subproject Son La-Hoa Binh- Nho Quan 500 kV transmission lines showed were that for this
transmission line resettlement activities have been well implemented. The seriously AHs are also
discussed and advised for their resettlement from NPPMB and DCRB. The AHs received
compensation for the structures and no deductions were made for the value of the salvageable
materials from their original house. It was noted that new houses built were larger and of better
quality than their original houses. DCRB also provided specific allowance to relocated HH to drill
wells. For Son La – Hoa Binh –Nho Quan TL, some of the affected houses have been relocated onto
remaining land owned by the AH. Compensation provided to AHs appears to be satisfactory. With
the compensation received, AHs were able to buy an equivalent plot of land in a RS or at an
individual site in the same vicinity. They were also able to build a larger house and of better quality.
Therefore, basically, in the subproject 500 KV Son La - Hoa Binh - Nho Quan, the social safeguard
requirements of the ADB have been well complied with. The construction component of subproject
was completed and the line put in use in December of 2010. The transmission line was fully
energized in November 2010 and has been evacuating power from Son La hydropower since
December 2010.
Box 5: Opinion on compensation for AHs in project area
‘‘In the past, I lived with my parent. When our residential land was affected, our family was compensated with some money and a piece of resettlement land. We were then supported to buy land to build a new house, so now I have a
new one. Now my wife and I only do business. I think we're very lucky’’ (Bui Van Tien, Tan village, Phuc Lai
commune, Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh province).
“I received VND 600 million, (70% value of compensation) in May /2012. I used the money to buy my father's land. He half sold but also half gave me for free, so I had land to build a new house. I also received the remaining compensation amount. Although I have used all amount of compensation for house, but a new building is large and beautiful like this, we're glad to investment in this beautiful home” (Hoang Thi Duc, village 13, Kim Phu
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015

commune, Yen Son district, Tuyen Quang province)
(Source: Socio-economic survey by LIC, August, 2014)
90. Interviewed AHs confirmed that they were very happy, because the compensation provided
by the District/Project as well as the infrastructure provided allowed them to improve their living
conditions. Examples include that where two households lived in one house (parents and a son and
his family) both the parents and the son and his family were provided with land and compensated
and after that they can build two houses and operated live. The result is that for them, the post
project condition is better than the pre-project condition.
91. It is considered by LIC that the entitlements of AHs as well as relocated HHs were all
secured when they did receive compensation for their lost assets and assistances. Vulnerable
groups were identified and paid with assistance in accordance with decisions approving
compensation plans.
92. At the time of evaluation, in some cases, AHs who have stable incomes from some
employments, such as: staff, employee… can well settle down in their new accommodation. These AHs usually are civil servants for state offices, or working as permanent staff for private sectors. In
general, these AHs settled down well in their new accommodations, and did not complain much.
They also get used to the life in RS.
Gender and Ethnic Minority Issues
93. Monitoring results presents that stakeholders consultation and HHs interviews discussions
revealed that local women, generally are treated in an equitable way with males. Females/ ethnic
minority HHs are invited and actively participate in different social, economic events, meetings,
agricultural extensions, etc held in the communes. In the preparation of RP and DDR, women
attended in detailed measurement survey, community consultation meetings. This is to ensure that
all information and opinions can be collected and that they include the women’s perspectives. Women also presented when compensation payments are made to ensure that any decisions
regarding use of compensation monies will be open to decisions made by husband and wife. Sex-
disaggregated data was collected in the socio-economic survey and inventory of loss.
94. Regardless of fairly good status of women observed in the affected communes, to ensure
gender equity, the following points has been implemented to obey the gender strategy for the
subproject:
Ensure registration of land-use rights in the names of both husband and wife in instances
where households are allocated alternative agriculture and/or residential land.
Husband and wife attended to receive compensation payment from RC and local PPMU
95. Monitoring results didn’t find inequality in land holdings nor reasonable differences of subproject impacts between male and female.
96. Besides, the contractors hired female in subproject area for simple works at site, in which
woman also participated in odd-jobs in construction time (cooks for worker, auxiliary workers)
97. Son La has different ethnic groups live in the region, where the most populous ethnics
include Thai and Muong minorities, other named ethnic groups including Hmong and Dao. During
process of technical design, preparation of RP different measures and many efforts were taken by
NPPMB and its consultant, in conjunction with local authorities and concerned agencies, to minimize
land acquisition and resettlement impacts on the local population. The measures taken included
selection of route or alignment that crosses the residential, historical and preserved areas.
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 40
98. There is no specific ethnic minority development plan prepared for Son La, Hoa Binh
province. In the fact, action plans applied for EM were mentioned and mixed in RP to ensure the
entitlement of EM.
99. Relating ethnic minority issues, there is notEM in 3 subprojects of 500 KV Hiep Hoa
substation, Kim Dong substation and Thuong Tin- Kim Dong T/L, except 500kv Son La- Hiep Hoa
hasEM (in Son La province)
100. During process of technical design, preparation of RP different measures and many efforts
were taken by NPPMB and its consultant, in conjunction with local authorities and concerned
agencies, to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts on the local population. The
measures taken included selection of route or alignment that crosses the residential, historical and
preserved areas.
101. There is not specific ethnic minority development plan prepared for Son La. In the fact,
action plans applied for EM mentioned and mixed in RP to ensure the entitlement of EM.
4.5.2. Executing Agency and Implementation Agency and RP implementation progress
102. Ministries, Departments: MOF, MONRE, MPI coordainted to provide guidance as required
laws.
103. Implementing Agency - NPPMB:
NPMB has strengthened implementation ability to and coordination for resettlement
activities through training courses by the project before proceeding. Project
Preparation Technical Assitance (PPTA) organized training courses for NPPMB,
training in combination with job performance.
NPPMB established Department of Environment and Society, specialized staff
qualified will monitor and implement resettlement, compensation activities, closely
coordinate with the project districts, the Council of Compensation and Resettlement
(CARB); and guide and support the districts/ communes. NPPMB are responsible for
preparing and implementing the RPs. NPPMB appoint at least 3 staff with social
science qualification and / or working experience in social safeguard to working with
CARB. If there is disagreement between CARB and NPPMB staff, NPPMB and
EVNNPT will participate to solve the problem if any.
However, during implementation of the project, due to overload work, the project
area extends on many provinces/districts and the number of staffs of Compensation
department under NPPMB is limited (26 people - Annex 5) and they are responsible
for many projects. Thus, complaints have not yet recorded fully. In general, NPPMB
solved arising problems during the project implementation.
104. People’s Committee at province/district level
PPC: direct departments or authorize the DPC to solve the problems in project
implementation.
District PC: as direct agency repsonsible for inventory, arrangement of resettlement
sites and livelihood restoration programme for AHs through CARBs. These CARBs
support PC at all level to implement compensation, allowance and resettlement.
Chairman of DPC is head of CARB of District and representative from Finance,
client, department of natural resoures and environment, CPC, AHs and other people.
In coordination with NPPMB, CARB set up compensation cycle for AHs: (i) inform
payment work plan for AHs at least 2 weeks; (ii) prepare the list of AHs and the
entitlement and compensation amounts for AHs; (iii) prepare 03 copies of
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 41
compensation document (for AH, PPC and NPPMB); prepare and update the list of
AHs, including payment date and data. However, the munite of comaplants have not
yet recored fully.
CPC: as direct agency to coordinate with local people and CARB to implement
project. Basically, the CPC has completed the task.
105. RP and DDR preparation consultants : VICA and CEFACOM are agencies to prepare RP and
DDR for L2225 subprojects. Basically, these agencies have completed accordingly required TOR.
106. LIC: carry out basic survey and submit progress report once/6 months and give out
recommendations related to certificated issues after 6-12 months of resettlement activities
107. Project monitoring consultant: this is one loan project, thus, mobilize monitoring consultant and
improve capacity to ensure effectiveness of land acquisition. Monitoring consultants include a
international expert (working for a short time ) and a national expert (working for overall project)
108. In general, agencies implemented well proposed objectives. However, the enhance of capacity
is limited: only used for IEE preparation without resettlement.
4.5.3. Time frame and budget arrangements
109. As workplan and budget are sufficient to meet the objectives of this project. Based on the
approved RP, NPMB registried the capital plan for the implementation of compensation. The cost of
compensation is from the counterpart funds of National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT).
110. Every year, based on recommendations of agencies, EVNNPT assess and assign the capital
plan for the unit members including full cost of compensation and site clearance for each sub project.
111. National Power Transmission Corporation uses annual, quarterly, monthly capital to prepare
the budget to meet the timely compensation implementation. When CARB has approval decision,
NPMB will report to EVNNPT to issue the cost for compensation payment.
5. LESSONS LEARNT
112. All subproject provinces have put a lot of efforts on undertaking compensation, site
clearance and all accomplishments have been analyzed above. DCRCs are very experienced in
compensation and resettlement in line with Government’s policy, if training on ADB’s policy is given, it is sure that they can handle it well too.
113. NPPMB is coping with a great deal of obstacles during the implementation of compensation
and resettlement which is attributable to the deficiency in fulfilling its responsibility in the project
activities at both provincial and district levels. The subprojects were carried out in significantly large
area which spreads through many remote areas; its staffing for compensation is insufficient which is
exacerbated by its plurality to lots of different subprojects so NPPMB has to hire consulting units for
compensation and assistance, it is the result why the quality management of these units leaves
much to be desired.
114. Information disclosure on Vietnam’s resettlement policy at local level has been carried out
relatively well; however, ADB’s compensation policy for this project has been yet made known to the
district level and especially AHs and other stakeholders at district level.
115. Compensation staff at the sample districts have not yet been trained on the ADB’s policy for compensation and resettlement under which NPPMB should pursue a plan to improve this issues;
NORTHERN POWER TRANSMISSION EXPANSION SECTOR PROJECT Post Resettlement Evaluation Report December 2015
Page 42
116. The information of Project policy and grievances mechanism has not been fully disclosed to
the APs.People also said that there is a need to inform them the complaint process before payment
of compensation amounts.
117. In order to facilitate women’s involvement in the project implementation process, LIC recommend that the requirements on gender which set out in the Resettlement Plan should be fully
complied with.
118. NPPMB has not provided enough guidance and/or supervision at all stages of the ADB’s resettlement process, as well as there is an absence of external independent monitoring and
evaluation of either activities or outcomes.
119. From starting every project, NPPMB and stakeholders should be together introduction of
livelihood programs on seriously affected HHs and vulnerable groups in project regions.
5.1. Monitoring and Evaluation
120. For external monitoring, at the time of assessment, NPPMB has not hired any agency (or
individual consultant) to carry out independent monitoring assignment; therefore, no independent
monitoring and evaluation report is available to submit to stakeholders on the implementation of RP
and compensation payment for AHs.
6. CONCLUSIONS, LESSONS LEARNT
121. All subproject provinces have put a lot of efforts on undertaking compensation, site
clearance and all accomplishments have been analyzed above. DCRCs are very experienced in
compensation and resettlement in line with Government’s policy, if training on ADB’s policy is given, it is sure that they can handle it well too.
122. NPPMB is coping with a great deal of obstacles during the implementation of compensation
and resettlement which is attributable to the deficiency in fulfilling its responsibility in the project
activities at both provincial and district levels. The subprojects were carried out in significantly large

exacerbated by its plurality to lots of different subprojects so NPPMB has to hire consulting units
forcompensation and assistance, it is the result why the quality management of these units leaves
much to be desired.
123. Information disclosure on Vietnam’s resettlement policy at local level has carried out rather well; however, ADB’s compensation policy for this project has been yet made known to the district
level and especially AHs and other stakeholders at district level.

Annex 1:Relevant Documents on Resettlement and Compensation
1. As being mentioned above, all surveyed districts comply with the policies of GoV related to
land acquisition, compensation, assistance and resettlement. The key laws, Decrees, Circulars all
the districts applied to 4 subprojects are as below.
Land Law 13/2003/QH11.
Decree 197/2004/ND-CP dated 3 December 2004, on compensation, assistance and
resettlement when the land is recovered by the State, as amended by Decree 17/2006/ND-
CP.
Decree 188/2004/ND-CP and 123/2007, specifying the methods for land pricing and land
price framework in the event of land recovery by the State.
Decree 84/2007/ND-CP, dated May 25, 2007 supplementary stipulations on issue of land
acquisition, land use right, procedure of compensation, assistance in the event of land
recovery by the state and grievance redress.
Circular 116/2004/TT-BTC, December 7, 2004 guiding the implementation of Decree 197.
Circular 116/2004 TT-BTC setting out in detail the types of compensation for different types
of users and losses; assistance policies; provisions for individual and group resettlement;
and the roles and responsibilities for the implementation of resettlement projects.
Circular 114/2004/TT-BTC elaborating the methods (direct comparison and income methods)
for determining land prices.
Decree No. 69/2009/NĐ-CP issued by Government dated 13/08/2009 supplementary
stipulations on land use right, land price, land acquisition, compensation, allowance and
resettlement.
2. All surveyed districts comply with national policies on compensation, assistance and
resettlement as set forth in Land Law 2003, Decree 197/2004, Decree 84/2007, Circular 114/2004;
Circular 116/2004, Decree No. 69/2009/NĐ-CP etc, and decisions of the provinces on
compensation, assistance and resettlement. No district applied project’s RPF, consequently, DMSs and compensation plans were in conformity with legal requirements on compensation and
resettlement policies of the Viet Nam Government.
3. The differences between the Project’s RPF and the actual implementation are (i) compensation and other payments have been calculated and paid in accordance with the project
provinces’ regulations rather than at market prices as being requested in RPF (in our experience, the
replacement price is usually higher than the prices as the one being issued by the Project PPCs); (ii)
eligibility for compensation and assistance (legal basis); (iii) special assistance to the vulnerable
groups, female headed household etc). The main gaps between the implemented entitlement by the
districts and the ADB policies are shown in Table 4below.

Subproject affected people, without legal or
recognizable legal claims to land acquired, will
be equally entitled to participation in
consultations and subproject benefit schemes
where possible, and be compensated for their
lost non-land assets such as dwellings and
structures occupied before cut-off date. They will
be entitled to resettlement assistance and other
compensation and social support to assist them
to improve or at least restore their pre-subproject
living standards and income levels.
Compensation
for lost land
Article 9, Decree 197: The compensation
rates for land shall be determined by the
PPC in accordance with the Government
regulations for the type of land which has
been used for at the time of land acquisition.
Decree 69, Art 11, Art 16, Compensation is
land for same-use land or if not available the
DP can be compensated in cash based upon
the market transfer price of such land at the
time of the decision to acquire.
Compensation limited to the allowable land
quota, unless land over limit due to
inheritance or legally transferred from other
persons, or unused land developed
according to the land use plan approved by
the authorities. If not, compensation only for
improvements on that land.
Where appropriate land-based compensation is
not viable, replacement cost surveys will be
carried out by the subproject staff to ensure that
subproject rates for all categories of loss will be
equivalent to replacement cost at current market
value. This work will be updated at the time of
compensation and will combined with other
assistance and livelihood restoration measures
to ensure full restoration and improvements.
Provided DP has legal or recognizable claim,
compensation will be for full amount of land
acquired.
Based on the ADB SPS 2009 land-for-land
compensation strategy is mandatory in the case
of involuntary resettlement impact on Ethnic
Minorities.
Differences
between
compensation
rates and
market rates
Dec 69 Art 14(2): If compensation is through
new land or allocation of land at a
resettlement area or by housing and the
replacement is valued at less than the land
acquired, the price difference will be paid in
cash. Dec 69 Art 14(2a) If replacement
residential land or the amount compensated
to purchase a replacement house is more
than the actual replacement cost, the DP still
receives the full amount. Dec 69 Art 14(2b)
if the compensated amount is less than the
replacement residential land and house the
DP will pay the difference themselves except
for cases covered by Art 19(1) – this will not
apply to (poor) DPs who will be assisted by
the State. If the DP does not receive land or
house at the resettlement site the DP will
receive the cash difference.
Physically displaced (relocated) DPs are to
receive relocation assistance, secured tenure to
relocated land, with comparable access to
production and employment opportunities, and
civic infrastructure and community services as
required, transitional support and development
assistance such as land development, credit
facilities, training or employment opportunities.
