1.2. Survey

In March 2011, Resettlement Consultant group of the Project conducted socio-economic survey of land I assets affected by the project. About 481/1.821 affected households are conducted with socioeconomic surveys (equivalent to 20%, for lias with many ethnic minorities, the survey quantity is 30%). 100% of households having affected land and assets are surveyed and made statistics, (attached appendix). The public consultation is also carried out during the investigation and survey.

According to primary design, the project is implemented on range of 8 wards, the investigation must be done at the same time for all wards of the project. The social-economic investigation results as the results of inventory of assets that are affected will be shown in the following parts.

In total 481 households who are investigated and studied, there are 433 houeholds of

Component 1 (as 89.9%), 33 households of Component 2 (as 6,1 %) and 29 households of

Component 3 (as 4%).

Vulnerable group: According to mentiones survey results there are 37.8% of households who answered in interview of ethnic minority, so that the report on Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP) on OP 4.10 of World Bank will be made as a component report in this project. There are 6.4% of households that make part of the vulnerable group: they are families under preferential treatment policy (wounded solider, revoluntionary martyr, people who made merits in resistance wars, heroic Vietnamese mothers), 28 poor households (according to the Pacific Ocean Engineering.) JSC (PCO) - 2011


poor standard of MOLISA, basing on Decision no. 09/QD-TTg on 30 January 2011 of Prime Minister about issuing the standard of poor household, close-to-poor households during 2011 to 2015 period). This group is a weak group in our society so that they need more care of the project as well as local authorities during preparation as well as implementation the resettlement plan.

According to the preliminary design, the project was deployed across the eight wards; the survey was also conducted simultaneously on all the wards of the project. The results of socio-economic survey as well as results of the inventory and measurement of affected assets are shown in the following sections of the report.



2. MITIGATION MEASURES 2.1. Objectives

Accoring to the World Bank OPAI12 upon is to avoid or minimize the impact of land acquisition, in the case the said minimization is not feasible, minimizing measures and I or adequate compensation for households affected by the project should be applied.

In the spirit agreed in the project implementation principles of the RPF, land acquisition should be minimized. The PMU with the assistance of consultants and other relevant department representatives have put effort to minimize impacts of land acquisition in the stage of preliminary design and improvement of project investment report and will also continue to do so during implementation. Therefore, the scale of resettlement impacts of the project has bee reduced and minimized. Yet project impacts are unavoidable due land adquisition needed to improve, upgrade, and build new roads, alley lines, water supply systems and resettlement areas. The consultations between the resettlement consultant group established to support the project and local authorities, mass organizations and households affected has been undertaken to minimize the impact caused by resettlement. Efforts to identify alternatives and select the best solution to avoid the relocation of of households have made during project design.

2.2. Measures to minimize site clearance and resettlement

Following the WB OP 412 alternatives to avoid or at least to minimize the volume of involuntary resettlement have been fully considered, to mitigate the inevitable impact of the resettlement is due to the demand of land for construction or land used temporarily during construction project.

Measures to minimize scale of site clearance and involuntaryresettlement include:

During project preparation stage, much effort has been made to avoid or minimize the scale of resettlement and relocation. Designs and Plans to reduce scope of impacts of of road and allies width have been anlised and considered

Measures to minimize the impact of the project will continue to be carefully reviewed in the with the detailed design stage to reduce the cost for the project and resettlement impacts. During the construction stage, appropriate measures and the optimal allocation will be considered to minimize the negative impacts for the affected areas and people.

Objectives of Resettlement Plan

Principles and objectives of RP is to develop a resettlement plan on the basis of unity and harmony between the rules (laws, decrees and circulars) in Vietnam and World Bank's guidance (OP I BP 4.12) on involuntary resettlement. However, if there are discrepancies between the OP 4.12 and the Vietnam regulations and policies, the WB policy prevails

Thus, the main objectives of the RP are:

a) To ensure land acquisition and site handover to implement the construction works on time and overall progress of the entire project.

b) To determine accurately and fully impact or damage on land, houses, buildings and other assets of all affected individuals and organizations.

c) To ensure adequate costs and timely funding to make payment for compensation and assistance to those affected.



d) To ensure adequate preparation of resettlement areas for displaced households.

e) To implement assistance programs to minimize to the difficulty for households during and after resettlement to ensure life target of households after resettlement to be "better than or at least equal "to the former habitat.

The project implementation units must try to create conditions for people affected by the project to improve living conditions, income and production levels, at least maintaining the living standard equal to those before the project.

Encouraging participation of affected people and the public in the process of planning, implementation and monitoring of the compulsory resettlement plan, determining the damage to people's livelihoods.

Socio-economic condition of affected households

a) Contents o/the socio-economic survey:

• Assessment of population general characteristics (population, ethnic, gender, education level, occupation, employment, income)

• Assessment of population's living conditions (traffic, health care, schools, communication).

• Record of comments and proposals of the affected people to be reflected in the process of planning and implementing project.

• Procedures for the improvement of public awareness about the project to help implementation of projects with ease.

b) Training/or socio-economic survey and damage survey, statistics

Before perfonning socio-economic surveys and damage survey and statistics on affected subjects, RP implementation group organized training for participants. The surveyers, project's staff and from the related agencies: Department of land use registration and compensation and site clearance board (under City people conunittee). Beside, staff from the conununal PC as well as representatives of the ethnic minority The contents of the training was trained as follows:

o The training course aimed to provide information about the project and survey technique, to help interviewers create friendly relationships to reach audiences, communicate and record full and accurate information, content in the survey.

o Before beginning the formal survey, the implementation group conducted trial surveys in the field to draw experiences to help prepare conditions to ensure qualite the survey results at the highest accuracy.

c) Survey methodology

Surveys will be conducted primarily by direct interview (face to face). Every project is



responding to one group (including: Compensation board, Department of land use registration, technical staffs of project and staffs in Lias) However, to wards having big work amount such as ward 5, 7, 8 need support and help from othet groups. The implementation process is as follows:

i) Step 1: Preparation for work

o Making a list of interviewed households based on the infonnation about affected alleys

o Planning for the survey, survey schedule.

o Preparing necessary documents to explain, maps.

o Preparing question samples used for the survey based on the attached questionnaire fonn in Appendix;

o Organizing survey groups,

o Providing training to enhance surveypractical skills , knowledge about the project for interviewers ...

ii) Step 2: Survey implementation

o Explaining and discussing with local officials about the survey;

o Identifying interviewedhouseholds ;

o Arranging appointments (if necessary) with householders I important persons in affected households to interview.

o Interviewing householders I important persons in affected households.

The result shows that out of 1.821 PAH, there are about 98% of interviewees are household owners or husband/wife of owners (in which 62% are male, and 48% are female) and 501 households are ethnic monority people.

iii) Step 3: Additional interview (if necessary)

Implementing additional interviews with those households that the answers are not enough to ensure quality of collected data.

3.2. . Results of socio ~ economic survey

During the period from January 2010 to the end of March 2010, Resettlement Consultant group of the project has conducted a socio-economic survey and a survey on land I assets affected by the project. Accordingly, approximately 30% of affected people (481 households) in 23 LIAS in eight wards were surveyed on socio-economic issue. Subject to the socioeconomic survey were chosen randomly in the affected wards, with particular attention to the affected severely objects, female householders, households enjoying social policy, minority households. Results of the survey are as follows:

3.2.1. HOllseltolfl size

Household Demography: Total number of households in the area affected by the project is 481 households with 2290 inhabitants, of which 1237 are male and f 1054 female.

3.2.2. Population size

Population size: In the project area, in average, each household has 4.61 inhabitants. Survey showed that most households are mostly nuclear households (with only two generations of parents I children living in a household); type of traditional household with three generations



of ancestors / parents / children does not appear much in the project wards. However, household size is relatively large, because some households have a number of children. Especially, with traditions of Khr'me people in Tra Vinh city that having sons to serve their parents is one important reason that scale of household members is relatively large.

3.2.3. Income and expenditure of /lOuse/lOlds

There have been many definitions of poverty are made. Depending on each region or country, the concept of poverty has a few differences, but generally, the main criteria used to define poverty is an income or expenditure to satisfy the most basic demands of people like food, clothing, housing, health care, education and social interaction. Based on the level of development and practices of each country, this income or expenditure has different variability according to standards prescribed by that society. The poverty benchmark is a dynamic concept; it not only changes in space but also over time in each stage of socioeconomic development. Considering the poverty benchmark period 2011 - 2015, overall poverty rate ofTra Vinh city was 7:34%, the rate of close to-poor households is 6:51 %.

During preparation and execution of the project, information disclosure and public consultation is aimed at collecting information to assess resettlement impact of the project and to make recommendations on options.

Methods of information disclosure and public consultation, including rural rapid assessment with participation and consultation of the relevant, using techniques such as visiting affected households and places, community meetings, group meetings and focused group discussions, and socio-economic survey. The discussions have given criteria for classifying households economics in the project area, the result is as follows:

Thus, the identification of household groups based on various criteria, however community criteria is in the first concern, and income factor is still the most important:

- Poor group: This group includes people who have low income according to the given community criteria (from 500,000 VND per month or less). Among them, there are those who still have to borrow to buy livestock and poultry, but in general, their income is very low, even seasonal.

- Transition Group (close to-poor): this group includes those who have passed limit of poverty (income from 500,000 to 650,000 VNDI personlmonth and approximately 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 VND I household I month) but they are more vulnerable than wealthier groups when there are natural disasters or fluctuations in the economic situation. In general, the households in this group have low income and even, 10-15% of them are still having difficulty with meeting their basic demands.

According to socio-economic survey data on affected households, there is a difference in living standards: poor households 27%, close to poor households 11%, Average households 51%, and Wealthy households 8% of, Rich households 3 %. However, in the project area, there are substantial disparities between wards. Specifically: Ward 9 is the ward with the highest poverty rate to 35%, the percentage of close to poor households is 12%, followed by Ward 2, the poverty rate is 34%, close to poor households is 15%. The main cause is that this ward is far from the downtown Kher'me people rate is 75% - 80% of population, level of awareness is still restricted, occupation is mainly agricultural production fragmented, small and outdated ... unstable.

relatively high. According to the survey, their works are mainly: rent clothes laundry / ironing / dyeing, construction, cargo transport. Implementation of Urban Upgrading Project will be somewhat positive impact on improving and stabilizing life for households in the project area.

- Trading / service: In the 23 LIA's areas of the city, currently, trade / service is one of the main occupations of 21.6% of households. However, according to survey results of business / trade, it is mostly small and scattered: breakfast restaurant, coffee shops or restaurants, small grocery, food service cart ... In total 481 households, the number of working people focuses in ward 4 (40.6%), ward 5 (32.1 %), Ward 6 (20.6%). Cause is that almost area in the ward is agricultural land with large population; moreover, in the city, there are several centers, business units, it also quite favorable condition for development of production and business activities.

Rice cultivation (agriculture): according to statistics in 2009 the total area of agricultural land in the city was just over 6,000 hectares, of which it was concentrated the most in Long Duc commune, ward 7 and 9. Agricultural land area in the remaining wards is too small, almost negligible. Furthermore, in the early of 2010, Tra Vinh was recognized as a City (Item 3) so the job structure was also changed. According to the survey, the number of affected households operating in the agricultural sector accounts for 36.4% focused on three wards 7, 8, 9, with rates respectively as follows: 44.5%, 41.7%, and 35.3%. In the near future, with socio-economic growth - as the current, the proportion of farming households will tend to decrease.

Staff officer / local officials / retired: Occupying rate of 3.2%, mainly in wards 1, 2. Through the survey process, this force has been actively involved in all processes: project preparation, project implementation, project execution and ... Specially, actively involved in the propagation of content related to the project to people.

- Other occupations: accounting for 4.6% (22 people). In the process oflocal reality, the number of employees without stable jobs is pretty high; the condition for seasonal labor is common in all LIAs of project wards. There are many people doing many different jobs, but mostly the jobs are temporary and uncertain: sale of lottery tickets, bottles, beggars, hawkers, fruit, com, peanuts boiled, tea, making sauce ...

In summ, the results of socio-economic survey on affected households show that local people have mostly low-income jobs, and unstable, precarious and of seasonal nature.

3.3.5. Etlmicity

Tra Vinh is one of the cities of the Mekong River Delta with ethnic minorities, among Kher'me ethnic accounts for majority. However, due to customs and culture of ethnic minorities, they concentrate into clusters of residents in Ward 7, 8, 9. In the remaining wards, ethnic minorities are less, mainly intermingled Witll the Kinh.

Following the World Bank OP 4.12 in Mekong River Delta Urban Upgrading Project, the households of vulnerable groups are of most importance. In particular, households under the social policy account for 6 households, landless households (making living off the land of another account 1 0 households), and other households facing particular difficulties account for 15 households: single with women as householders, elders and shorthanded households. As such, in the project area, there are many households facing particularly difficult circumstances, and therefore in the process of compensation implementation, should define, appropriate assistance to reduce difficulties for these households.

The average income of affected households in the sample of households gradually increases from poor households to the average and highest in wealthy/rich households. The average income of household groups is 1.617.000 VNDI person! month. Specifically, the income of group of poor households is 370,000 VNDI person! month, the income of group of nearlypoor households is 536,150 VNDI person! month and the average households is 1,401,000 VNDI person! month, the wealthyl rich households is 4,161,000 VNDI person! month (about 11.2 times more than the poor households, 7.7 times more than nearly-poor households and 2.9 times more than the average household).

The average expenditure of 1,718,0001 person! month gradually increases in groups of household, specifically: the poor households are 536,000 Vl\TD, the nearly-poor households are 469,000 VND, the average households is 1,380,000 Vl\TD, the wealthy 1 rich households is 4,456,000Vl\TD. Expenditure compared to income (saving): According to statistics the majority of households with expenditures greater than income. There are groups of nearlypoor saving 39,950 VNDI person! month. By many households think that in the recent time, besides daily items of expenditure they have to invest in businessl manufacture, purchasing appliances. For wealthier households, the last time they invest in manufacturel business, building a house. Thus, the majority of affected households don't have enough money to spend, although expenditure and income are not much difference. However, considering the potential for economic development of households is still restricted.

When researching "who is the main support of the household on economic issues?" with 55.1 % of households said that the husband created the main income in the household, then 42% believed that the wife created the main income for the household, 2.9% remain believed that grow-up children created the income. Thus, most men create the main income for their households. However, the issue of deciding expenditure in the household becomes more equal, 61.2% of interviewees said that both husband and wife decide the expenditure in the household; 21.8% said that the wife decided; 15% said that husband decided, 2% said that the children decided.

3.3.7. Public Service

3.3.7.1 Using clean water.

Survey results showed that most households in the areas of LIA's have different sources of water provision. Overall, most people use tap water, however, there is still a fairly large percentage of people using water in wells or dig wells, and even some households also use water in channels / canals

According to survey data, 64.3% of interviewees said that they used their own meter for water, 4.7% use public meter for water, 0.7% use public tap water, still 20.3% of households are using water in wells or dig wells, especially there is 01 household using water in channels/ canals.

If analyzing according to living standard and income, we also found large differences in water sources used between the poor and the non-poor. While 81.0% of non-poor households are using tap water in their own home, this rate at the poor only holds 60.5% and nearly 40% of them are using well water.

3.3.7.2 Drainage:

When asked about the current status of drainage of households, 58.1 % of households believed that waste water is self-absorbed! overflowed into the land, 16.5% believed that it comes out in public drains, only 10.6% said that it escapes through tunnels, 13.1 % thought that it left out pond ! channel ! canal. Situation above shows that the drainage system is not invested to construct synchronously in residential areas, waste water will cause air pollution, affecting the living environment of households.

That is a hidden risk of disease outbreaks. However, considering on household economy, there is the difference in drainage places. In particularly: 72.4% of poor households drain waste water by absorbing! overflowing into the land, wealthy households 45.9%, on the contrary the form of draining water through public sewage system only is used by 5.3% of poor households, wealthy households 21.6%. Thus, poor households tend to not have much chance to use the public culvert services of the city; they are using other forms affecting the living environment. The result of public consultation is 94.3% of households in the alley would like to invest, upgrade and renovate the drainage system. Building connection points, creating conditions for 100% of households in Lia's approached to this service of the project.

Flood happens quite commonly in the areas of LINs because of many different reasons. 70.2% of households said that the !!poor drainage when it rains, 9.1 % of households said that poor drainage even when it does not rain, only 9.1% of households said that the drainage system!! using well "in all conditions. To improve the situation, urban upgrading project designs, invests the drainage system combined with the renovation and upgrading of roads.

3.3.7.3 Environmental sanitation: To the question is the garbage collected daily? 42.3% interviewed answered that they use garbage collection services of sanitation group, 57.7% answered no. In which, Ward 8 and Ward 9 the rate of collected household is the most, respectively 91.3 % and 98.1 %. That is due to two wards located far from the center of the city, popUlation density is sparse, populations is scattered on the routes, so the garbage collection and treatment services there has no conditions for investment.

The data showed among households, nearly 66% empty the garbage by burning, 17.4% digging dust-hold! throwing into garden, 11.1% of households empty the garbage arbitrarily, 5.5% of households throw into rivers, canals. Current situation shows that the investment and setting up garbage collection and treatment systems (component 6 of the project) is entirely practical, serving basic demands of the poor in the areas of LINs in the city, giving them better opportunities to approach to social services.

According to the statistics table, with 30.2% of households said that the surrounding environment is not polluted and 69.8% of households said that environment is polluted. This rate is different between wards: Ward 2 and 9: 100%; Ward 1: 95.1%, Ward 6 and 7 over 80%. When asked about the pollution levels, there are 60.1 % of households said that current pollution problems have become serious, impacts negatively to human health, only 39.9% of households believed that environment are being polluted at low level.

3.3.7.4 Toilet:

Most low-income people in the LIRA's still are not interested in building sanitary toilet. The survey results about 76.5% of households have separate toilets. Among households having



toilets are as follows: among the poorer 43.4%, and accounting households without toilet are about 23.5%.

For types of toilet, septic tanksl semi-septic tanks hold the highest percentage of 46.8%, toilet tank 33.6%, latrine 2.3%, fish latrine 12.7%, and public toilets 4.5%. In general, types of household toilets are mostly rudimentary toilets with very simple design: with excrement storage tanks, over the tank putting some boards of wood enough to set feet, the surrounding shielded by the rudimentary shelL In addition, the type of toilet in the pond 1 channell canal, also known as "fish latrine" is one type of toilet popularly used by the households in the Lia's area. This type has extremely simple design, just a few trees and some corrugated plate, the manure is discharged directly into water without any form of treatment Overall, despite of using any type, the waste water of the toilet is mostly self-absorbed or direct drained into canals, causing serious impacts to the surrounding environment. Right now, there is a need to change these practices or otherwise, there is serious environmental pollution caused by habits and practices of daily life of people.

3.3.7.5 Use of electricity:

According to the data processing results, among 446 households, 406 households (91%) have electricity and use their own meter, 34 households (7.6%) are using electricity, but share 1 connect with brothers or neighbors, 6 households (1.3%) have no electricity. Households without electricity are scattered in the Ward 5, Ward 7, and Ward 9. Because these households mainly locate deeply inside the populated area, the city's electrical system may be eligible for these households connecting to the common system of the city. The investment, upgrading of power lines in the alleys of the urban upgrading project will be an opportunity to ensure that 100% of households in the low-income areas of LIAs.

3.3.7.6 Housing and land ownership status

Through the survey, the average land area used by households is 150m2lhousehold. In which households have the lowest area of 8 m2, households have the highest area of 16.000m2

•

Generally households little land area and there is no land left for gardens or plant trees. According to survey data, houses of residents of wards in the project areas are semipermanent (51.9%). However, the proportion of temporary 1 leaf house is about 17.1%. The rate oftemporary 1 leaf house at 9 wards is the highest with 67.3%, followed by ward 7 with 15.9%. There are wards with low-income households and two wards with quite high rate of Kher'mer ethnic. Ward 1 is locates at the center of the city, so the number of households in temporary houses are largely unavailable.

Status of land and house using: according to project, design there are eareas where land affected by the project is mainly agricultural land. For residential land, which is relatively stable; in the project area, stable land use rate before 18/1211980 accounts for the highest percentage (up 94.3%); percentage of land use from 1811211980 to 1511011993 is 5.4% and the lowest proportion (only 0.3%) is after 15/10/1993 Not clear;

Regarding the legal status of affected land, the survey data shows that most of the project land has been certified with land use right or can get the land use certificate (up 22.8%), percentage of rent or hire for temporary use is 22.8% and the proportion of land without legal permission is only 1.4%.

4. LAND ACQUISITION IMPACT

Of all components of the project, component 1 (upgrading tertiary infrastructure), component

2 (upgrading related primary and secondary infrastructure) and component 3 (construction of

resettlement site) are those ralated to the land acquisition and resettlement, of which

component 1 and 2 take a large part. For Tra Vinh City, characterized with 25% of ethnic

minorities, total affected households accounts 1.821, of which 501 households are ethic

households. Therefore, in this part, the consultant indicates the impacts of land acquisition

process in particular and for ethnic households in general. The land acquisition demand for

construction of this component as follows:

Compensation level for affected architectures depends on quality, type and construction

material of those works. Based on construction materials and specific conditions, architectures

are identified as different types. Each structure corresponds to one type. Most affected

architectures involve yards, access roads, gates, and fences.

4.1.3 Impact to business and manufacturing

According to the survey results there are 20 businesses which will be affected, 4 classified

as big businesses mainly at the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street (due to the Nguyen Dang street

upgrading). During construction, these affected by the road might need to be relocated and in

case of loss of production compendated The remaining 16 are small businesses. For other

architectures, most households in LIAs of Component 1 are mainly affected in their walls,

fences, among others (easely removed and replaced) Otherwise, other stable buildings as toilet, water meter, electrical meter of households who are in large lanes or roads will be

affected.

4.1.4 Impact on crops

Temporary impacts. Apart from 1821 permanent affected households, the project will affect

to 2587 households temporarily, during the project implementation. Engineering and

resettlement experts calculated to reduce at maximum to avoid impacts. Some temporary

impacts of the project as traffic inconvenience will be limited because these streets have

larger bed roads so locals could be abel to transit normally. Temporary impacst to bussinnes ,

and households are minor

4.2 Screening of linked projecs

Three potential projects in Tra Vinh city have been considered for screening and the results

showed that only water supply project is linked to MDR-UUP. The details are as below:

4.2.1 Drainage project - Germany ODA (KFW)

• Investment item:

Construct one interceptor pipeline, rehabilitate other pipelines to collect wastewater.

Construct 2 overflow chamber systems (PS-l and PS-2) in the North and South of the City to

pump wastewater to the treatment plant in the West, far from the City.

- PS 1: Q = 9600 m3/day on Ly Thuong Kiet road

- PS 2: Q = 3015 m3/day on Doc Lap road

- PS 3: Q = 5146 m3/day on Nguyen Dang road

• Time: 0212011 - 612015 (53 months), of which the construction time is 9/2012-

812014.

• Land acquisition impacts: Total acquisition area is proposed about 4.832 m2• of

which:

- The newest PS is located on rice field, garden land of local residents (2.600 m2), near

asphalt road in My Chanh commune, Chau Thanh district, including 13 stations.

- Water supply plant: This is rice field area of 1.183 m2 planned for the water supply

plant near Dien Bien Phu road (ward 6).

- Booster pumping station: This is rice field owned by the the local residents, near the

road to Bac church (in Long Duc commune - Tra Vinh city).

- House, achitectural works, farm produce: not impacted.

- Total resettlement households: 0

l Consultation Meeting were conducted with the pagoda representative that the land taken is quite marginal and none of physical and spiritual works are affected.



- Total ofland acquired households: 15

Total of compensation is estimated at 289.969.000 VND - provincial budget

• Relation: the MDR-UUP area is not covered by the new system to be built by this

project, so it is not considered as linked project to MDR-UUP.

• Recommendation: due diligence is not required.

4.2.2 Water supply project - Korea ODA

• Investment items:

At present, Tra Vinh City has treatment plant, capacity 18.000 m3/day, located on Dien Bien

Phu road - ward 9.

As the present capacity of the new plant only meets the demand of the city center and

surrounding area, so enhancing the capacity of the treatment plant is very necessary. From the

actual demand, the city has received the Korean funding source.

With total investment of about $US 34.000.000 for upgrading the capacity of the treatment

plant to 50.000 m3/day, constructing raw water pipeline DN600 with the length of 17 km and

the distribution pipelines for industrial and surrounding areas without clean water.

• Project duration: 2011 - 2015: The detailed designs for this project are not foreseen,

the compenstation for resettlement has not been carried out.

• Relation: The urban upgrading project and constructing water supply pipeline of

component 2 will connect to water supply system of the city and the water supply project of

Korea to ensure the water consummption. In addition, the project also design connection

points for households, fire hydrants in LIAs. Without this project, the urban upgrading project

will not achieve expected objectives.

• Recommendation: land acqusition activities in the future will have to follow MDR

UUP policy. TraVinh city will have to work with the project owner to ensure OP4.12 will be

applied for this project.

4.2.3 Rehabilitation for market in ward 2, Lia 2

Currently, the market in ward 2 (bordering Lia 2) has been upgraded, drainage and water

supply system can not perform well and cause impacts on surrounding environment,

especially for households in Lia 2 of the project. To promote the investment efficiency for

Lias (component 1 of the project) and ensure the project objectives, the upgrade and

rehabilitation of market is obligatory. On 18th of October, 2011, the Project Mangement Unit

organized the meeting with representatives of the Department of Economics of the City,

Management Unit of market of the city, People's Committee of ward 2 to reach consensus

about the investment option for the market (Minutes No. 14IBB-BQLDA dated 2411012011-

see details in the appendix).



Relation: After rehabilitation of water supply/drainage system for market area, connection points will be connected to the drainage/water supply system of the urban upgrading project.

Duration: 2011 - 2012

Recomnendation: Civil works will be implemented in existing area of the market in ward 2

and that land acqusition is not required.

World Bank' Policy/Procedure on involuntary resettlement

The WB policy OP 4.12 requires to present options to affected population as a way to avoid involuntary resettlement. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, plans should be made for compensation and assistance to restore the DPs' living standard to pre-project levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation. This policy for the recovery of land and other assets is applied when the land acquisition causes loss of shelter, part or all of the DPs profitable assets, or accessibility to sources of income and/or production.

Required measures for the best resettlement results:

a) Consulting DPs about feasible measures for compensation and resettlement plans; b) Providing DPs with options for resettlement and recovery; c) Offering DPs opportunities to participate in and choose planning options; d) Compensating fully at replacement costs for losses attributable to the project;

e) Resettlement site must be provided with fundamental infrastructure and services same as the DPs' previous residential areas at least;

f) Providing DPs with allowances, supports, vocational training and income assistance to facilitate their relocation;

g) Identifying special supports for vulnerable groups and;

h) Setting up an institutional structure to ensure the successful compensation and resettlement;

Compensation Criteria and Eligibility:

a) DPs who are entitled to the compensation are: (a) those who have legal rights to land or other assets; (b) those who currently do not have legal rights to land or other assets but have claimed for legalizable land or assets in accordance with the Vietnamese laws based on the storage of such documents as land tax bills, certificates of residence status, or residential permissions of local authorities to occupy and use the land in the project affected areas; and (c) those who have no recognizable legal right or no claim to legalizable land they are occupying.

b) People stated in section (a) and (b) of above item are compensated for their affected land and assets. Persons stated in section (c) are given Resettlement Assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistances, if necessary, to achieve the objectives of the policy. If they occupy land in the project area prior to the cut-off date determined in each RP. People encroaching land after the cut-off date determined in each RP are not entitled to the compensation or any resettlement assistances (however, they may have some supports based on the current policies).

Valuation and compensation for losses: Methods used for the valuation of losses in WB funding projects are based on replacement costs. For this project, the losses consist of damages to land, structures and other assets. The replacement cost of land includes the land value as defined in accordance with the prevalent market price plus the fee for obtaining



certificate of land use rights. For affected houses and other structures, the valuation is based on tlle market prices of construction materials and labor costs to build a replacement house of equal or better quality and area to the affected one. For works partly or wholly affected by the project, the compensation includes the market price of building materials plus costs for transportation, labor and contractor fees, registration fees and transfer taxes. Asset depreciation and value of salvaged materials are not deducted.

Vietnamese GOV's policies and practices both in resettlement and compensation are mostly compatible with the WB' s guidelines. The most compatible domains are as follows:

• Vietnam has procedures that allow compensation for losses of people who have no legal land use rights but possibly satisfy conditions of land legalization.

• Registered permanent residents are entitled to choose what form of compensation they want such as relocation to a better resettlement site, receiving cash, or combination of both resettlement and receiving cash.

• New resettlement locations for DPs should have better infrastructures and public services than DP's previous locations and higher living condition.

• There will be mechanism to assist DPs in transition period and keep people informed; thereby they can negotiate for compensation and voicing their grievances.

• For the DPs who are not entitled to the compensation, the Government has support policies in accordance with the WB policy to help them restore their livelihood.

To satisfy WB's requirements (OPIBP 4.12) on Involuntary Resettlement, articles in the laws and regulations of Vietnam that do not guarantee the DPs' right to compensation at replacement costs, or eligibility articles that do not extend the right of being restored andlor assisted to households without valid land papers, or otherwise limit the compensation required by WB OPIBP 4.12, will not apply. The requirements ofWB's policy OPIBP 4.12 will fully apply in all cases.

5.2 Policy on compensation, assistance and resettlement

5.2.1 Principles and Objectives

The principles mentioned in WB Operational Policy 4.12 (OP/BP 4.12) are used for the preparation of this RPF. The following principles and objectives will be applied:

costs and (v) any other supports in demand to help DPs improve their living conditions and income capacity, or at least keep their economic conditions as before the project implementation.

(d) Replacement of residential and agricultural land will be as nearby affected land as possible and acceptable to DPs.

( e) Displacement time for resettlement should be minimized and the rehabilitation means shall be provided to DPs no later than one month prior to the expected commencement of works in the respective project areas.

(f) Plans for land acquisition and other assets and provision of rehabilitation measures must be taken under the consultation with DPs to minimize their disturbance. Entitlements shall be provided to DPs prior to the expected commencement of works at the respective project areas.

(g) Existing public services shall be maintained or improved.

(h) Budget for resettlement shall be available in the project implementation stages.

(i) The executing organization must ensure the design, planning, consultation and implementation of the Resettlement Plans (RP) effectively and timely. The executing organization must ensure the design, planning, consultation and implementation of the Resettlement Plans (RP) effectively and timely.

(j) Checking, monitoring and assessing the implementation of RP timely and effectively should be conducted.

.:. Voluntary Laml Donation

Voluntary Land Donation refers to any land take not attributable to eminent domain or other forms of land acquisition backed by powers of the state. The operative principles in voluntary land donation are "informed consent" and "power of choice". Regarding Project Component 1 (Tertiary Infrastructure Upgrading), residents in low income areas, who are direct beneficiaries, are expected to contribute to the infrastructure upgrading cost. The Contribution Cost will be agreed in Community Upgrading Plan in each community through consultation process. Marginally affected DPs may choose to voluntarily donate affected land instead of contributing building cost by cash.

a. Major principles for voluntary land donation

Households are fully provided with free and prior and had access to project information on the full replacement compensation and resettlement policy.

Households themselves, and/or in partnership with the city CARB to decide the scope of land acquisition for the Project and to confirm the scope of their voluntary land donation. As ussual, the scope of affected land is small (less than 10% of land area and DPs are not resettled)I

Suitable mechanism for complaint redress.

If the voluntary donation ofland is not the case, otherwise the OP 4.12 would apply

b. Identifying process of voluntary land donation

The PMU and its consultants provide full information about the upgrading options, including policies of compensation and resettlement, as well as the principle of voluntary donation of land for the proj ect

The affected households will select the scale of land acquisition for the purpose of road widening in the process of making community upgrading plan (CUP)

The affected households will discuss the donation level of the land. If the majority of them want to donate the affected land but there are affected households who do not want to donate, the affected households and the commune have to figure out the proper method to compensate for the households including implementation of lossshare mechanisms. Otherwise the affected households will be compensated by the project.

Inventory of land and other propeliy damage and the cost estimation will be delivered to households by the District Compensation Board.

Households sign to confirm their land donation leveL If there are other losses left, including all structure and other assets attached to the affected land, these will be compensated.

Disclosure of information about compensation and voluntary donation of land in the public areas.

6. In case, DPs are able to donate more land than expected, the Project can accept provided that the Independent Monitoring Agency must check if the land donation affects the DPs'living condition.


Resettlement plan Tra Vinh city Sub~project

Tracking and monitoring: PMU has to report on the voluntary donation ofland to the CPC and the World Bank to consider before perfomling this task. This work always requires the regular monitoring and reporting to receive the unity of the CPC and the World Bank.

Statistizing data of laud dOllation

According to the survey as infoffilation supplied by officers, there is previous ample

experience with this type of construction projects in Tra Vinh city. Land donation has been

Approximately 10% of households in LIAs do not agree to donate the land affected: either (1) by the area affected is large, and thus requested that a proportion must compensated under the provisions of the state regualtions; or (2) because many poor families, families with economic difficultie. There is small number remaining is to be determined. For Component 2 and 3 donation of land is not considered

5.3 Ethnic minority

According to the Indigenous People Policy (OP 4.10) of the World Bank, the project adversely affects EMs, so the project's EM policy is aiming to: a) minimize and mitigate project impact on the livelihoods of EMs in the project area and; b) ensure tlIat the development process fosters full respect for the dignity, human rights and cultural uniqueness of ethnic minorities in the project affected area, and takes into account their development needs and aspirations.

The social assessment conducted in project areas by a consultant ofPCO in May 2011 shows that there are Khmer people, Kinh people (dominant ethnic group) and Chinese people living in 23 project selected LIAs. Undoubtedly, the project brings significant benefits to local people including Khmer EMs. However, it also involves negative impacts as a result of land acquisition, that could be affecting livelihoods and incomes. The identified negative impacts of project's components on Khmer people and mitigation measures are summarized in table below:

Some policies to be applied with ethnic minority are:

Ethnic minority people are encouraged to participate in all project activities and they will get benefit from the project in appropriate way with their culture;

Adverse impacts on ethnic minority communities who are special and vulnerable groups shall be avoided or minimized by exploring all viable options;

If being directly affected by the sub-project, the ethnic minority community (as well as all persons being affected by the Project) shall be entitled for compensation for losses or affected assets, income and business activities according to replacement price, and proper restoration method shall be provided to support them to improve or at least remain their living conditions, income and production ability as the level before the Project occurence;

The lack of legal right for property being lost or being adversely affected (including traditional hunting, fishing and natural resources of community) will not influence the right for getting compensation and assistance method for restoration;

- In case households are being required for relocation or resettlement, efforts shall be taken to re-establish the culture and social institution, the community relationship between where they go and where they move to shall be remained in possible extent; Apart from entilementlinterests similar to other relocated households, Khmer households are assisted 3 million of cash per household too.

The preparation ofEMDPs (as a part of preparation for city upgrading subproject) and the implementation of these plan shall be carried out with participation and consultation of ethnic minority people;

- Khmer households who are affected by the subproject and who have demand on loan for doing business shall be listed by the Project Managerment Board to send to the city and get loan through city loan programs such as: (i) from city's Farmer Association with limit of 10 - 15 mil. VND/each household of farmer, (ii) from Bank of social policy with limit of 10 mil. VND/each household of farmer.

- Training courses for business start for Khmer households are held under the program. According to survey data, most Khmer households are in need of loan for business activities. But to successfully run business and to keep business capital intact, orientation must be worked out and support to Khmer households in their start shall be required. This content is considered neccessary and important as Khmer households in the project area have no traditional job. The Project management board of the city shall coordinate with consulting group to held classes in order to introduce some home crafts, invite some small scale sucessful private enterprises to introduce their successful experiences in business development, to organise some visits to sucessful business models that may be suitable to Khmer households so that to provide them with more expericence and to help them take opportunities and foresee difficulties that they may coppe with during business operation.

- Ethnic minority development plan still spend a fund for vocational training, job introduction so that during project implementation, if Kllffier households are in need of vocational training their demand will be sactisfactory.

In the stage of detemination of design extent and basic design, an appropriate technical design option shall be presented to effectively minimise negative impacts, mitigate adverse effects and absolutely solve negative impacts. Concretely, upon design of tertiary infrastructure upgrading in LIAs, the usage of the existing alley layout shall be maximised In case of unavoidable impacts on assets, satisfactory



compensation must be made and compensation amount shall assure recovery of damages at least.

- During the project preparation and implementation, propagation activities on project information, land acquisition and site clerance, compensation and ressetlment shall be intensively and widely propagated to attract participation and support of the local people, in general, and of the Khmer people, in particular.

Set up credit fund for loan to renovate house by the affected households including Khmer families so that they have chances to renovate, upgrade their houses as the floor elevation is lower than the alley elevation after alleys are increased by the Subproject.

During design process, consultation with the Khmer people should be promoted, opinions of heads of pagodas and prestigrous people should be sought and more favourable conditions shall be provided to the Khmer people so that upgrading of LIA will not cause adverse impacts or damage traditional customs of the Khmer people.

- Measurement, calculation for compensation work must be closely supervised to ensure benefits of the Khmer people as well as the equality of the Khmers with other people. Prior to compensation implementation, meetings must be held for affected Khmer households to inform them details of compensation policy so that they can understand what they can get for compensation, what they shall get as a support and that they detect any error in calculation of compensation and support carried out by the Project Management Unit.

• During construction execution, appropriate and suitable methods must be worked out to minimize adverse impacts to business activities and travel of Khmer people. Labor safety must be regulated strictly to minimize accident.

5.5 Implementation

The project's resetttlement mplementation needs a coordination among organizations, local offices of the ward, district, commune levels. City People's Committee will be responsible for the stipulated activities in the project's Policy Framework and Resettlement Plan. Compensation Councils will be established in city as of Decree no. 197120041NB·CP and Decree no. 17/2006INB- CP, Decree no. 84/2007INB-CP, Decree no. 69/2009INB-CP at city People's Committee level.



6. RESETTLEMENT SITE

6.1 Options of resettlement

On-site resettlement: this is applied for the affected households losing a portion of land or entire but the remaining is economically viable for reconstruction of houses. The affected households will be received compensation at full replacement and support cost for rebuilding houses on the remaining land when required.

Scattered resettlement: This is applied for the case of households who need relocation but expect to receive at cash compensation and move themshelves to another place (not resettlement site of the project.) In this case, affected households besides receiving compensation according to replacement cost, they also receive support as prescribed by this RP.

Resettlement in the project resettlement areas: For households affected the entire house, having no place for resettlement, the project will arrange accommodation (plot of land for building, or apartment) in the resettlement areas. Through survey, most of households who must be moved have demands to receive the places in resettlement area. Some big businessmen (in Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street, are affected by new construction of Nguyen Dang extended road) have demands to take money to buy in other places so that they are suitable to their business.

6.2 Development of resettlement areas

Sellection of the resettlement location

The area proposing for construction of the Tra Vinh City resettlement sites is determined in ward 1 and a part from Long Duc commune - Tra Vinh city, serving relocation demand for various projects in the Tra Vinh City. Detailed master plans for this area has been already established (promulgated by Document No. 2864fUBND-KTKT on 25/812009 of Tra Vinh province). Following the document, the resettlement area covers an area of about 20ha.

- The Northwest: bordering to ring road - The Southwest: bordering to Ring road 2 - The Southeast: bordering to people's rice land.LI - The Northeast: bordering to people's garden land.

The Resettlement area under Tra Vinh City Urban Upgrading Sub-project is a part of the Resettlement area which its area is approximately 5.04 hectares (out of the total area of 20 hectares of the city's resettlement area).

The number of displaced and resettled households is determined on the basis of technical solutions. The resettlement of households is due to: (i) upgrading and expanding the alley, (ii) Renewing prolonged Nguyen Dang road; (iii) at-site resettlement households in the resettlement areas. Based on this the numbes are as follows:

Synthesis of Component 1, 2 and 3, to determine the number of resettled households as follows

Public consultation on resettlement area

The PMU carried out consultations through many different methods to inform impacted peoples about the location of the proposed resettlement area. Also, in the process of public consultation (Marchi 2011), during the preparation of RP impacted households were consulted and informed about possible resettlement areas .. In general, the resettlement areas are located near the center of the city, convenient for travel, so it will limit the life changes when households displace, therefore households also have no idea about these resettlement areas.

Design and construction oj the resettlement area

As recommended by City People'S Committee, the resettlement areas will be also serving other government projects. The WB willl fund in the scale needed for households affected by Tra Vinh City Urban Upgrading Sub-project, and thus all the procedures, on, procurement, execution an cosntruction must be approved by WB.

Other items expected to invest in the resettlement areas include:

(i) Provision of Land Plots in the Project Resettlement Site: The project will provide a land plot with area of 90-120 m2 for each.

(ii) Leveling: simple and feasible height planning solution today is reinforcing and dredging Ben Xuong channel with a width of 6 m, exalting existing ground to ensure requirements of not being flooded due to influence of tides.

Average Construction controlled height is 2.20 m;

Ground leveling to create local slope i=O.3% to the intersections.

Average leveling height: 1.8 m;

Total embankment volume: 280.000m3

(iii) Construction of roads in the resettlement areas

Outbound traffic: Pacific Ocean Technology JSC (peO) - 2011 74


- According to master plan, Ring road 2 and Ring road 3 (outside the design boundary) are routed linking regional planning areas with the other in urban areas, ensuring the requirements of traffic and also the two main roads accessing from the outside to the planned area.

- Connecting with Ring road 2, 3 are main lines: N1, N2.

- Also, in the planning, also arranging the main road D 1 linking internal routes connecting with Phu Hoa road to create linkages for traffic in planned area with Phu Hoa road.

Inbound traffic:

- Main roads of planned area are Dl, N1, and N2. These are the three arterial roads to allow large truck to flow to transport cargo. Road boundary is about 14 m to 16 m.

Branch track of the planned area is the road from the main road to the subdivisions. Minimum road boundary is 12m.

(iv) Construction of water supply system

Water source: Tra Vinh town Water plant through the pipe system D600 along Ring road 2 and 3.

Water supply network: Pipeline network for sub-area is truncated, using PVC pipe under pressure from 10 to 12.5 KgF/cm3 to layout on the sidewalk and under roadbed. Water supply pipe is buried at least 1.0 m above the finishing elevation and far from edge of the work at least 0.3 m.

Arranging valves in the water supply branches and supply pipeline to the work. In front of the work, depending on the nature of each type that can put the water regulation works and local pressure increasing work in cases where the overall water supply system is insufficient to meet.

On overall water supply pipelines, arranging with fire hoses # 100 along the pipeline at the offense, when fire occurs will take water from these fire hoses to serve all area.

(v) Construction of rain water drainage system.

Design principles: dividing basins reasonably, utilizing drainage direction of leveling terrain, combining drainage culverts along the road to ensure easy drainage, flooding does not cause local congestion.

The main drainage direction is to Ben Xuong canal.

Rain water from pavement and works is made into the culvert line located on the pavement; culverts are located along the internal roads, regional roads of the planned area.

On culvert system, arranging manholes to collect water along the route and from the works and take at the comers and along line with the distance 20-50m/manhole, manholes are built with reinforced concrete.

Calculating stormwater drainage network by the method of limited intensity, where selecting sewage overflows cycle T = 2 years for track culverts and T = 3 years for main culverts.

(vi) Construction of waste water drainage system



Design area has relatively flat terrain. Planning wastewater collecting culverts on sidewalks along regional lines. D300 collecting culverts take waste water to the treatment station with a capacity of Q = 600 m3

/ day (Investment for the entire 20ha).

Waste water drainage culverts are circular reinforced concrete culverts. Minimum depth of buried culverts Hc = 0.7 m, minimum culvert slope ensures self cleaning culvert.

Designing culverts by the principle of vertice connection.

On the culvert line, arranging manholes receiving sewage from works, combining as leaching pits, manholes are built with reinforced concrete, having measures to prevent corrosion and microbiological aggressivetivity.

Wastewater treatment

Domestic wastewater from townhouses and villas is handled by two levels.

+ Level 1: in works, wastewater is treated through a septic tank is built properly (3 compartments).

+ Level 2: wastewater is treated concentratedly at treatment stations in accordance with Standard QCVN 14-2008 before being discharged into the common drainage system of the area.

(vii) Construction of lighting system

Currently, this area has not had a complete low-voltage network, expected to be powered from low voltage lines running along the Ring road 2 and Ring road 3.

Plan for power supply and wiring solutions:

Power supply goes floatly; power, lighting, and information lines will be hung on the electric posts.

Technical solutions:

Comparing the actual scene and planning projects, choosing the power supply plan as follows:

Medium voltage overhead lines:

Connection point: At the medium voltage locating in the junction between D1 and the outer road outside the resettlement area between Ring road 2 and Ring road 3. Medium voltage lines runs from connection points to the substation-03, 04 on road D 1, N9 (expected in the future will connect with Ring road 2 to form loops).

(viii) Construction of communication system

The entire planned area is expected to have 02 main cable cabinets (cq placed on the BTLT MDF pole installed by the post-. Each specific item (shown in the planning drawings 11500) will be provided with signals from cable systems floating on BTL T posts, taking the signal to the branch cable cabinets - IDF and from there will be taken to each household. To ensure the telephone system and high speed internet access - ADSL, investing in new telephone cable systems for the entire residential area.

7. INCOME RESTORATION AND LIFE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

7.1 Income restoration policy

Restoring life is an important part of the resettlement activities to the affected people loosing production facilities, business, employment, or other income source. When negative effects of the project to the people are negative, they may be poor and broke the resources to create life. This may result in loss of land, loss of their jobs, houses, separated social marginalization, illness, food shortages, loss of use for public assets, and risk becoming the object of disturbing social order, including crime and theft. Therefore, measures to restore life are the core of the implementation of resettlement and require maximum attention. Measures to restore life will be designed with extensive consultation from the people affected by the project.

The objective of income restoration program is to help the affected loss income due to project intervention (including loss of land, impact on business production, means of production, change of jobs., among others) to restore affected households income equal to or better than pre-projects and ensure that those affected by the project can early adapt to new conditions in the shortest time. Income restoration ia aiming to improve basic skills or extra opportunities for poor households, and vulnerable groups.

For implementing the Resettlement Plan (RP), Management Unit of Tra Vinh city Urban Upgrading Project, the Tra Vinh province will join with local government agencies at all levels, social organizations such as the Women Union, Fund for vocational training assistance, and. conduct activities aimed at restoring income for households affected by the project.

7.2 Demand assessment

Through socio-economic surveys on affected households the information provided included: (i) nember of household members, (ii) unemployment rate, (iii) number of affected business Iservices households, (iv) the poor households conditions, (v) number of vulnerable households. Since then, assessment of revenue and the ability to change careers, demands and adaptation of their income when implementing projects is carried out. During the public consultation on the restoration of income, a questionnaire survey, and direct interviews determined the demand for assistance and restoration of the affected households (as job training, ccredit needs, desires expectations and habitats.

During planning income restoration program, 119 affected households have been identified as loosing (from 20% or more of productive land or 10% or more for vulnerable households), 10 households loosing business, 121 households in vulnerable groups. Among 1.821 affected households, there are 501 households of ethnic minorities. Beside compensation for land, they will receive additional assistance for job change and are entitled to participate in income restoration programs of the project if required.

8. GENDER STRATEGY

Gender strategy is built to assess the impacts from land acquisition and gender inequality in the family under different forms. The different impacts depend on their gender roles in society. Women often suffer more severe impacts due to loss of livelihood and disrupted social networks. It not only affects the women themselves, but also affects all household members. Therefore, this is not only vital, and their value in the community but also the happiness oftheir households.

Simply, load from removing house often affects each gender. In which, women in households often suffer more. Indeed, the resettlement plan has to understand gender and have specific measures taken to ensure that the impact on women is recognized, understood and concerned. Gender strategy during the detailed design and implementation of the resettlement plan stage includes the following:

(a) In the first stage of the project, will design a training program on capacity building for resettlement activities for staff and affected households to get them into resettlement activities. Make sure to have the participation of poor women, female householders and ethnic minorities in the training course; this training course will have representative of the PMU, agencies at the same level and representatives of ward Women Union and Youth Union ...

(b) The training course for building resettlement capacity will be done separately for women in female householders by ensuring the participation of women of ethnic minority people of Khrme.

(c) Livelihood restoration activities will be planned with the participation of women; assessment activities demanded for livelihood and livelihood development skills will be done separately for women members, poor women, female householders, elderly women, women in ethic minority group.

(d) Consultancy and dissemination activities on gender will ensure meaningful participation of women. Both men and women as backbone of households (e.g. husband and wife) will be invited and encouraged to participate in public consultation meetings. In addition, other consultancy activities such as group discussion and personal interview, if necessary, will be conducted with women to ensure that the review and the demand for women will be given out sufficiently.

(e) Women Union from city level to ward level will be encouraged to playa role in the resettlement plans and implementation activities. The roles will include participation in the Compensation and Resettlement Council. All community consultation activities, such as identifying and implementing income restoration activities, consultancy for affected women, as well as consensus support of the households in the resettlement areas.

(f) Both male and female householders will be encouraged to participate in the detailed measurement survey (DMS).

(g) The livelihood restoration activities will be planned based on assessment of activities and demand for both men and women. The plan will be based on individual consultancies for women and women's interest groups (such as Women Union) and different labor recognition of women, their hobbies, demand to meet at the same time different roles in their production activities as well as household works.

(h) The payment of compensation and cash assistance will be given in the presence of the spouses as affected householders and two people manage the payment. In the case



of drug abuse, gambling, domestic violence from the husband, demand to empower to the women under the custody of the unions. If necessary, ask the ward Women Union to stand out in tenns oflegal aid for these households.

(i) New Certificate of land use rights as well as new rights for any assets allocated as part of the compensation and resettlement assistance measures will be issued for both names of the wife and husband of the affected household.

G) Plans and measures in housing resettlement, including land allocation for resettlement, housing design and construction of social infrastructure will be consulted significantly with women affected households. Special measures will be implemented in the relocation of female households with special help for cases such as the elderly and female householders so that they have sufficient conditions to move to new location along with others in the assistance of social assistance network such as household and friends.

(k) The surveys must get data on gender and demographics in each household in the aspect of livelihood.

(1) The indication of gender index will be the basis for building resettlement monitoring operation, consideration of socio-economic conditions (including impacts and benefits) and livelihood restoration plan for affected households.

11. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

11.1 Goal of information disclosure and public consultation

Ensuring the participation of the community of affected households, local authorities, involved organizations in sharing project information, consultation on chosen technical options, plan of the proposed resettlement areas, expected impact on income, land and assets on land. Information disclosure is an important contribution in promoting the progress of the project during preparation, implementation, and when the project goes into operation with the consensus of the community, government and the PMU, minimizing the possibility of arising conflict and other risks, increasing investment efficiency and social significance of the project.

The goals of the information and public consultation program include:

(a) ) Ensuring that the local competent authorities as well as representatives of the affected people will be involved in the planning and decision making process. The PMU will work closely with the district and wards in the process of project implementation. The participation of the affected people during implementation will be continued by asking the district to invite representatives of the affected people as members of the district Compensation, site clearance & resettlement Council and participating part in resettlement activities (the detailed measurements survey process - Detail Measure Survey (DMS).

(b) Sharing all information about items and planned activities of the project for affected people.

(c) Collecting information on demand and priorities of affected people as well as receiving information of their response on policies and proposed activities.

(d) Ensuring that the affected people can be fully informed with decisions directly affecting their income and living and they have the opportunity to participate in activities and decision making on issues directly affecting them.

(e) Obtaining the cooperation and participation of affected people and communities in . activities necessary for planning and implementing resettlement.

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

For Vietnam, a next important step in promoting democracy at the grassroots level is Directive No.30-CTITW Central Communist Party of Vietnam in "Developing and implementing regulations on grassroots democracy", and Decree No.29/l998/ND-CP on this issue also. The bottom line of this legislation is the famous slogan "people know, people discuss, people do and people supervise".

o Decree No. 29/1998/ND-CP pointing out the problems that local governments and concerned agencies should inform people, talk with people, and people monitor and / or realize by them.

o Article 39, paragraph 2, 2003 Land Law requires disclosure of issues related to resettlement, such as reasons, plans for land acquisition, displacement plan, collectively compensation plan, site clearance for affected people.

As such, consultation and participation is an innovation in the implementation of projects in Vietnam. Both local residents and the project implementers lack of experience in this field. The



following points demand attention in order to encourage stakeholders to participate in the consultation process in the project:

a) Identifying and attracting all stakeholders, especially the affected people, to the process of consultation and participation;

b) Developing participatory strategies for planning, implementing, monitoring and assessing projects.

c) Listing details demanded for the information disclosure campaign, and constructing process for affected people to negotiate their interests.

d) Engaging stakeholders in decision making at all stages of project implementation (e.g., compensation method, consultation with affected people in the compensation method, implementation schedule, etc ... ).

e) Establish a schedule for completing activities such as information disclosure campaign, extent and form of compensation, benefits, location and displacement plans.

±) Developing a process for settling complaints.

11.2. Process of participation and consultation

Public consultation in the process of project preparation

During project preparation, information disclosure and public consultation is conducted aimed at collecting information to assess the impact of resettlement of the project and making recommendations on alternatives plans. This is to reduce or eliminate potential impacts of the project for local residents and prepare to deal with issues that may arise during implementation.

Methods of information disclosure and public consultation include rapid assessment method with the participation and consultation with stakeholders, using the field techniques and meet affected households and areas, community group meeting meetings, socio-economic surveys.

In the stage of project preparation, local government at all levels and the heads of various concerned agencies have been notified of the proposed project, the objectives and proposed activities of the project. They are consulted and actively participate in discussions about development demands and priorities of their localities, their awareness of the objectives of the project. Different forms of public consultation have been done.

The results of survey and public consultations with affected people show that most affected people are in favor of investment in the project, saying it is necessary for the development of a city. They have said that when State requested acquisition of land for public purposes, for the development of the city, they are ready to perform. What they worry is the compensation price. In community consultation process, the Consultancy Group also provides information on the policy framework for compensation and resettlement on the principle of conformity between the Vietnam and WB's policis.

In meetings and public consultation, resettlement Consultant has efforts to communicate projects information for the displaced households. The PMU will have displacement plans of households as follows (i) compensating in cash, selling land in resettlement areas, Oi) compensating in cash for self-displacement of households. The households are also provided with information about the location, site planning orientation in resettlement areas, projected size and area, technical infrastructure.

Pacific Ocean Technology JSC (PCa) - 2011 98


According to the assessment of the Consultant, discussions, public consultation have contributed to increased understanding of the atIected households about the project, the project's resettlement policy, reducing the number of households who do not support the project.

The survey results show that, due to the components of the project focus on upgrading and expanding with not large width, so most of the households are only affected partially and they can continue their previous jobs after completing construction of the project. For the entirely disp1cedhousehold depending on home-business, they wish to be assisted in changing job and stabilizing life.

One common and special concern of affected people is that they expect the project is early undertaken to shorten the time to cause psychological instability for people as well as allowing them to quickly restore and stabilize the conditions of life.

Community consultation during project implementation

After the project is approved, the mass media will disseminate extensive information about the project. Information disclosure includes information on the objectives, components and activities of the project. PMU coordinates with local government to be responsible for the dissemination of information and public consultation. The consultations of affected people will continue to be implemented during project implementation.

Information disclosure and public consultation

In the course of project implementation, PMU, with the assistance of Consultants, will undertake the following tasks:

13. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Monitoring of the Project implementation is a continuous process relating to the agreed schedule. It provides concerned agencies with updated information on the Project's status. It will determine the Project's actual progress, the possibility of its success, and any difficulties arising, and facilitate adjustments to the Project implementation as soon as possible.

Monitoring for the following purposes:

1. Verifying project activities whether they are in compliance plans and completed efficiently or not, including quantity, quality and time.

n. Detecting problems in the process of project implementation, proposing settlement method to ensure conformity with the policy framework and ensure the interests of victims.

iii. Assessing the resettlement activities whether they have achieved the objectives and purposes set out by the project or not, and the level of how to achieve.

Regularly monitoring the implementation of Updated site clearance & Resettlement Plan to ensure scheduled and expected implementation to work out minimization measures to address the socially adverse effects of the project. The resettlement monitoring will be implemented by an internal organization or an independent organization.

13.1 Internal monitoring

PMU will act as internal monitoring organization. So the PMU will store all data collected on the site including data on affected households. PMU will submit quarterly monitoring reports to the Ministry of Construction from implementation of site updated clearance & resettlement plan coinciding with the time of the detailed measurement survey. PMU will in turn update regularly the resettlement report of the project to the Ministry of Construction and the WB. The social assessment report will be prepared and submitted to the WB and posted on the website of the WE.

Supervision and internal monitoring will have the following purposes:

a. Compensation and other rights of compensation are calculated according to replacement price and the process set out in the approved resettlement and site clearance plan and having no gender distinction, members of ethnic minorities or other factors;

b. Affected Households are paid compensation and other benefits under the approved updated resettlement site clearance plan including implemented cash compensation, benefits, the resettlement so that people can move to;

c. The income restoration programs have been designed and issued including amendments of programs and provision of additional cash and assistance for affected households to participate in the program as required;

d. Information, public consultation and complaint resolution process, as mentioned in the approved resettlement and site clearance plan;

e. Expeditiously restoring the affected buildings and public infrastructure



The PMU will submit its internal reports on RP implementation as part of the quarterly reports they are required to submit to the WB. Internal monitoring reports will include the following information:

(i) The number ofDPs according to types of impact, and the components and conditions for compensation, relocation and recovery of income for each one.

(ii) Money distributed for activities or compensation and money disbursed for each activity.

(iii) Final resolutions of complaints and outstanding issues demanding resolutions from management agencies at all levels.

(iv) Issues arising during the RP implementation.

(v) Updated RP Schedule.

13.1. Independent Monitoring and Assessment (External Monitoring and Assessment)

An independent organization will be employed by the PMU to monitor and evaluate the RP implementation. This agency is called as Independent Monitoring Agency (IMA). The IMAs may be from institutes, research agencies, non-governmental organizations, independent consultancy companies etc. but they must specialize

In social science and be experienced in independently monitoring RP implementation. For projects that are highly risky or contentious, or that involve significant and complex resettlement activities, the PMU will normally engage an advisory panel of independent, internationally recognized resettlement specialists to advise on all aspects of the project relevant to the resettlement activities. The size, role, and frequency of meeting depend on the complexity of the resettlement. The IMA must follow the terms of reference approved by the IDA and begin its assignment soon after the commencement of the Project.

The general objective of independent monitoring is to periodically supply the assessment findings of resettlement objectives, changes of living standard and job, DPs' restoration of income and social establishment, effectiveness, impacts and sustainability of benefits of people, and the necessity of mitigation measures (if any) and is to learn strategic lessons for future policy making and planning in the next period.

In addition to reviewing information provided in assessment and internal monitoring reports by the PMU, the IMA will conduct a survey every six months. The survey sample of each RP may cover 100% of the displaced and severely affected households (a census) and at least 20% of the remaining households (which may be through random selection), in order to:

a. Determine if procedures for DPs' participation, procedures of compensation and recovery conform to the RPF and RP.

b. Process of project implementation, consultation and information dissemination, and politicize the compensation policy:

c. Evaluate whether the objective of the RPF for restoration or improvement of living standards and income of DPs has been reached

d. Gather quantitative indicators of the Project's socio-economic effects on DPs.

e. Propose modifications to the RP implementation, if necessary, to achieve the principles and objectives ofthe RPF.



f. DPs' satisfaction in various aspects of the RP will be monitored and recorded. The operation of the complaint mechanism and the speed of complaint resolution will be monitored also.

g. During the implementation, the trends of living standards are recorded and monitored. Any potential issues regarding recovering living standards are reported.

The IMA must report their findings every six months and the report will be discuss with the PMU prior to submitting to the WB.

13.2. Assessment

Actually, this is the assessment of the RP's impacts and the objectives compliance in a stipulated time. The IMA will conduct an assessment of the RP's progress and its aftennath 6-12 months after the completion of all resettlement activities. Assessment questions will be based on the Project databases and sample questions used in the monitoring surveys.

If this assessment indicates that severely DPs have not recovered their lives according to the Project objectives, an additional fund should be established to continue assistance for them. The independent monitoring report, in addition to be submitted to the PMU, will be submitted to the World Bank for monitoring and assessment and effectiveness of the compensation. Or in another hand, while a project is not considered complete, the Bank supervision continues until the resettlement measures set out in the relevant resettlement instrument have been implemented. Upon completion of the project, the Implementation Completion Report (ICR) valuates the achievement of the objectives of the resettlement instrument and lessons for future operations and summarizes the findings of the PMU's assessment referred to in OPIBP 4.12. If the assessment suggests that the objectives of the resettlement instrument may not be realized, the ICR assesses the appropriateness of the resettlement measures and may propose a future course of action, including continued supervision by the Bank. The ICR's assessment of the extent to which resettlement objectives were realized is nonnally based on a socioeconomic survey of affected people conducted at the time of project completion (or sUb-project completion), and takes into account the extent of displacement, and the impact of the project on the livelihoods of displaced persons

13.3. Method and approach

a. General approach is used to monitor activities and assess the impact to ensure the participation of all stakeholders especially women and vulnerable groups. Monitoring tools can include both qualitative and quantitative methods.

b. Survey of households in the representative samples, not based on gender and vulnerable groups to achieve infonnation on basic indicators of right distribution, the effectiveness, impact and sustainability.

c. Focused group discussion (FGD) should allow monitoring organizations to consult the areas of stakeholders (local government, resettlement workers, community leaders, and most importantly affected people).

d. The important interviews: selecting local leaders, workers and other individuals experienced in the operation and implementation of resettlement.

e. The community meetings: organizing community meetings in the resettlement areas to collect information on the implementation of resettlement activities.

f. The direct observations: field observations on the state of implementation of resettlement, plus focused groups and individual interviews for cross-check of infonnation.



g. Unofficial surveys I interviews: The unofficial survey on affected people, indigenous people, workers, resettlement staff and implementation methods without templates.

h. For special problems, using in-depth interviews on affected people and indigenous peoples belonging to different social groups to assess the impact of resettlement.
