Executive Summary of the Resettlement Plans

Jiji and Mulembwe Projects

Project name : JIJI AND MULEMBWE HYDROPOWER PLANTS

DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Country : BURUNDI : ALGERIA, NIGER AND CHAD

Project Number : P-BI-FAO-100

1. Project Description

1.1 Description of the Jiji Hydropower Plant Project and Related Works:

The Jiji project is small-sized, with a 13.5-m high and run-of-river dam, that is, without a

significant reservoir. The impoundment is limited to 80,000 m3.

The production plant is located on the same river, about 2.5 km downstream of the dam. The

water is directed by a 710 m-long intake channel (buried), followed by a 1130 m-long

underground power tunnel and a 800m-long surface penstock (diameter, 1.8 m). The water

diversion produces the head height which, from the design flow, will produce the hydroelectric

power for the development. All the water flows into the dam up to 9 m3/s are diverted to the

water intake to be pumped through the turbines. Once pumped through the turbine, the water is

discharged back into the river. In addition, all flow rates above 9 m3/s are returned to the river.

In order that the stretch of river between the dam and the plant (2,500 m) does not dry up, there

are plans to install pumping equipment at the dam to ensure a minimum firm yield of 0.328 m3/s

at any time in this section.

The project characteristics are:

- Design flow: 9 m3/s

- Length of intake channel: 700 m of underground pipe

- Length of gallery: 1130 m with surge chamber

- Turbine height: 439 m (free fall)

- Installed capacity 31.5 MW

- Estimated production: 146.5 GWh/year

Other components of the project include the establishment of a base camp to accommodate

operating personnel after construction and various access roads, including the rehabilitation of

17.25 km of existing track roads (for access to the dam and plant) and the construction of 7.6 km

of new roads.

1.2 Description of the Jiji Hydropower Plant Project and Related Works:

The Mulembwé project is small-sized, with a less than 15-m high and run-of-river dam

(therefore not classified as a large dam), i.e. without a significant reservoir (limited to 50,000 m3

only). All the water flows into the dam up to 8 m3/s are diverted to the water intake to be

3

pumped through the turbines. In addition, all flow rates above 8 m3/s are pumped back into the

river.

The production plant is located on the same river, about 1.5 km downstream of the dam. Water

flows in through a 1.13 km-long underground intake tunnel (2.8m diameter) followed by a

600m-long surface penstock (diameter, 1.6 m).

In order that the stretch of river between the dam and the plant (1,500 m) does not dry up, there

are plans for pumping equipment at the dam to ensure a minimum firm yield of 0.424 m3/s at

any time in this section.

Other components of the project include the establishment of a base camp to accommodate

operating personnel after construction and various access roads, including the rehabilitation of 2

km of existing track roads (for access to the dam site) and the construction of 10.75 km of new

roads.

The project characteristics are:

- Design flow: 8 m3/s

- Length of intake channel: 600 m of buried pipe

- Length of gallery: 1130 m with surge chamber

- Turbine height: 258 m (free fall)

- Installed capacity 16.5 MW

- Estimated production: 90.5 GWh/year

2. Legal framework

2.1 At National Level

2.1.1 Burundi's new Land Code Law No. 1/13 of 9 August 2011 amending Burundi's Land

Code culminated in the "new Land Code," with major changes to its predecessor of 1986.

Accordingly, it provides for the formalization of unwritten rights and also defines the various

regulations, principles and legal regimes that govern them. The new Code establishes the

National Land Commission.

2.1.2 Provisional Declaration of Public Utility (PDPU): The PDPU lays down the stages

involved in the expropriation preparation and decision. It is published and submitted to the

appreciation of population and PAPs to elicit their support and involvement in all phases of the

resettlement process.

2.1.3 Expropriation Decree or Ordinance: This decree lays down all stages of loss

assessment and acceptance by project affected persons. It will be posted at the offices of the

municipalities and Ministry concerned, and published in Burundi's Official Gazette. It will then

be notified to those concerned through meetings with project affected persons to inform them of

their options, including redress, acceptance or not of one of the options proposed.

4

2.1.4 Ministerial Order No. 720/CAB/304/2008: Ministerial Ordinance No.

720/CAB/304/2008 of 20/3/2008 lays down the compensation rates for lands, crops and

buildings in the event of expropriation for public utility.

2.2 For Donors:

2.2.1 The Resettlement Action Plans are elaborated in compliance with the applicable

policies: (i) the African Development Bank's Involuntary Resettlement Policy (2003), the World

Bank's Operational Policy 4.12, and (iii) EIB procedures. In case of discrepancies between the

policies of donors, the more stringent requirements will be applied. The guiding principles of

donor resettlement policies are similar. They aim to avoid or minimize population displacement

or relocation and, when these are unavoidable, seek to improve their livelihoods and living

standards.

2.2.3 For all donors, summary resettlement plans are acceptable when the impacts are

"minor", or if less than 200 persons are displaced for the project needs. Considered globally

within the framework of this project (Jiji and Mulembwe hydropower projects and the 110 kv

transmission line for energy transportation to Bujumbura), the number of displaced persons

exceeds 200 and the impacts cannot be described as "minor". Thus, the preparation and approval

of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is a prerequisite for project financing.

2.3 Comparison between national legislation and donor requirements: The following

3. Institutional Framework

3.1 Ministries

3.1.1 Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM): Responsible for implementing and monitoring

Government's policy on the country's energy infrastructure equipment and mining development,

it is the Contracting Authority for the construction of the Mulembwe and Jiji hydropower

development projects.

3.1.2 Ministry of Water, Environment, Regional Development and Urban Planning

(MEEATU): This Ministry is responsible for the design and implementation of Government

policy on land use and urban development, through its various directorates and services. Within

the framework of this project, it is in charge of developing the platform to accommodate all

persons to be resettled.

3.1.3 Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Equipment (MTTPE): This Ministry

conducts all operations related to the development of roads and tracks nationwide. Within the

framework of this project, it is responsible for the development of linear components (roads,

etc.).

3.2 Administrative Structures

3.2.1 REGIDESO: Within the framework of the project, Burundi's Water and Power

Production and Distribution Corporation will be the Delegated Project Management Authority.

3.2.2 Resettlement Committee: The Resettlement Committee will comprise members of

government, local authorities and PAP. It will determine compensation and support measures,

and organize resettlement. The Resettlement Committee will conduct information and

communication operations to publicize the various RAP components and the options available to

affected persons as well as receive feedback and suggestions.

3.2.3 Land Commission: The Land Commission will assess the compensation and review the

RAP based on the findings of public compensation budgeting consultations. It will be

responsible for forwarding the finalized RAP to regional authorities (area managers, community

leaders [chefs des collines]), to the Minister, and to the Minister of Finance for approval by the

project's supervisory Ministr(y)ies, the Ministry of Finance, the World Bank.

4. Eligibility and Entitlement to Compensation

4.1 Eligibility: Any person whose property or livelihood is adversely affected by the

project's implementation, be it through physical displacement (loss of home or business) or

economic displacement (loss of part or all property, assets and sources of income), identified

before the cut-off date. Specifically, eligible persons will include the following:

- Those who have written evidence of their rights to land prior to the cut-off date

according to the land or customary code: title, proof of purchase, administrative

documents, purchase deeds, deeds of sale by landlords, etc.

- Those who do not have written evidence, but have claims to the land prior to the

cut-off date and who are so recognized by customary law. These are entitled

7

customary landowners who, without land titles or deeds of sale or purchase, are

recognized as legitimate owners by customary and/or local administrative

authorities.

- Tenants who, prior to the cut-off date, are occupying houses, commercial

premises or land with written evidence.

- Tenants who, prior to the cut-off date, are occupying houses, commercial

premises or land without written evidence.

4.2 Cut-off Date: The cut-off date for eligibility to compensation is set at 1 month after

the date of posting of the provisional PAP list. Any person concerned, who is absent or not on

the list or with claims may contact the Sector Head during this period. REGIDESO will decide

on the posting, depending on the progress of the project schedule. Beyond this date, no new

occupation or use of land or resource affected by the Project will be subject to compensation.

4.3 Entitlement to Compensation: For two-parent families, both spouses will be

considered as entitled to a single financial compensation and there is provision for both of them

to benefit from livelihood restoration actions; respective procedures (for instance the signing of

compensation agreements) must be performed in the presence of both spouses. For single-parent

families, the rights will be in a single person's name, that of the head of household. The financial

compensation process should be monitored (see Section 17 on the monitoring and evaluation

mechanism) to ascertain that the money benefits the entire household.

5. Project Impacts in Relation to Involuntary Resettlement

5.1 Summary of Assets and PAPs Affected: Land needs for the project are 75.9 ha.

According to estimates of the resettlement plans for the Jiji and Mulembwe projects, the

project will cause the involuntary resettlement of 724 households, representing 4,749 persons.

This is mainly economic resettlement, given that physical resettlement is limited to less than 200

households.

Estimates made on the basis of ratio by surface or PAP (PAP identification, but no census of assets

affected for each PAP). These ratios were established during surveys of PAPs affected by the non-

linear components

5.2 Impact of Non-Linear Components

5.2.1 For the non-linear component, the number of PAP represents 262 households. The

same household could have several assets affected by the project.

5.2.2 Loss of land: Less than 13 hectares will be subject to expropriation for non-linear

components, which include the dams’ reservoirs. These hectares are shared among 227

households, which confirms the high fragmentation of land in the area (as is the case all over

Burundi).

5.2.3 Annual and perennial crops: Agricultural losses include both annual crops (cassava,

beans, maize, potato, onion, etc.) and perennial crops (citrus, banana, mango, avocado trees,

etc.).

5.3 Linear and Undefined Components

A first estimation of the number of PAPs affected by the linear and non-defined components of

the two facilities (e.g. road building, workers camps, quoted operating) was conducted during the

elaboration of these RAPs. The final census, which will determine the number of PAPs affected

by these components will be conducted once the detailed designs of roads and the location of

camps / cities are finalized.

Guiding Principle: As specified in the Involuntary Resettlement Policy of the African

Development Bank, when finalizing the layout of roads and site selection for workers ‘camps,

borrow areas, the goal will be to avoid involuntary resettlement to the extent possible.

5.3.1 Methodology: Estimation of the assets affected by linear and undefined components of

the project is based on the following two assumptions:

The basic reasonable assumption is that the average compensation cost per unit

surface area affected is the same for the linear and non-linear components.

This assumption also means that the proportion of vulnerable persons is the same

for linear and non-linear components.

The surface areas affected by linear components were calculated on the basis of:

A permanent 4 meter-wide right-of-way for roads;

11

A permanent 2-meter easement for penstocks;

A temporary 2-meter right-of-way on both sides of roads or penstocks for the

passage of equipment;

An 8-hectare right-of-way for currently undefined project components for each

site, but which will occupy a surface area to be taken into account: (i) road

embankments in steep areas, (ii) quarry or borrow areas, (iii) dump sites for

excavated and other materials, and (iv) temporary workers' camps.

5.3.2 Determination of number of PAPs affected: There are 465 PAPs affected by the linear

components. The tables below show the breakdown with respect to works and property affected.

5.4 Other Impacts

5.4.1 Impacts on Social Facilities: Only one impact on social facilities (schools, health

centre, administrative building) was identified. This is the primary school near the Jiji site, which

will have to be moved temporarily. The school will be moved to a temporary site and rebuilt at

its original location with durable materials. The budget required based on 100 m2

is FIB

11,000,000. It is included in the ESMP.

12

5.4.2 Impacts on Cultural and Sacred Sites: No sites of cultural value (historical,

archaeological or religious), sacred sites or tombs were identified in the project area during field

visits or reported by residents. However, in case of accidental discovery during excavation, a

procedure for immediate cessation of work will be implemented in conjunction with Burundi's

Interior Ministry and local authorities to secure and preserve any physical cultural resource

discovered. Whenever necessary, in case of discovery of a tomb, the inhabitants will be allowed

the opportunity to move the latter.

5.4.3 If a PAP is deprived of a significant part of his or her assets, alternatives to financial

compensation such as compensation in kind should be considered (e.g. land for land, house

reconstruction, etc…).

13

5.4.3 Number of PAP significantly affected (more than 30% of their assets): For the non-

linear component, the number of PAPs with over 30% of their assets affected is 159 (114 for Jiji

and 45 for Mulembwe). PAPs significantly affected will benefit from additional compensation

measures and special assistance (see Section 6 below).

6. Vulnerable Persons

6.1 Eligibility Criteria:

The various categories of vulnerable persons proposed in the RAP are defined as described

below:

The poorest households, headed by persons without or almost without resources

(less than FIB 30,000 monthly income), i.e. those who cannot meet their needs.

Female heads of household farming on land at their disposal (usufruct) and/or

dependent on relatives (children, siblings, parents, etc.) for their income.

Children heads of households (orphans): these children are particularly

vulnerable and need special assistance to manage the compensation that could be

paid to them or used for their resettlement. The measures taken shall ensure in

particular that ties (if they exist) with relatives and neighbours offering them

support are maintained and that the resettlement offers them the same or

preferably improved conditions of access to social services (especially education)

compared to their current situation.

The elderly, particularly those living alone: they also often depend on their

relatives and/or neighbours to help them farm their lands or meet their needs.

Resettlement measures should provide them benefits similar to the pre-relocation

situation.

Farmers: they are vulnerable because they depend on seasonal farming, have

very few resources and limited access to land.

Physically (war) or mentally challenged, who depend on others to meet their

needs and are especially more vulnerable to any change in their lifestyle.

The sick (including those with HIV/AIDS or other serious or incurable diseases)

that are also particularly vulnerable to any change in their lifestyle and for whom

resettlement must consider access to health services and facilities (in conditions

similar to, or better than, the pre-relocation situation).

6.2 Valuation of the Number of Vulnerable PAPs

The number of vulnerable PAPs is estimated at 260. Whereas vulnerable PAPs were

specifically identified for non-linear components (see Table 11 below), the figure proposed for

non-linear and undefined components is based on the reasonable assumption that the proportion

of vulnerable PAPs is the same both for linear and non-linear components. Using the same

proportion, there would be 169 vulnerable PAPs for the linear components (57 for Jiji and 112

for Mulembwe).

7. Brief Socio-economic Analysis

7.1 Livelihood of PAPs

7.1.1 Agriculture: As is the case over the entire Burundian territory, subsistence farming is

predominant in the Songa and Buyengero municipalities. It hinges on a traditional farming

system based on a combination of crops, with very limited access to inputs, rudimentary tools

and almost no storage system. Land fragmentation, soil degradation and the inability to allow the

land to fallow (due to land pressure) are additional factors explaining low agricultural yields. It

should be noted that cassava is the most important subsistence crop and is vital to the food

security of the local population.

7.1.2 Livestock and Fisheries: The area is characterized by a strong pastoral tradition,

especially in the Buyengero municipality. The extensive system is the main mode of animal

production, but semi-intensive systems are beginning to develop as a result of population

pressure and the need to mix livestock and agriculture in order to restore and maintain soil

fertility. Compared to cattle rearing, other livestock types are marginal. Pig breeding is rare but

does exist. Poultry farming systems are exclusively based on the traditional system (free-range

hens).

7.1.3 Trade, Industry and Crafts: Rural markets (numbering 4 and 5 respectively in the

Buyengero and Songa municipal councils), cabarets and shops are the main areas of commercial

activity. The key products are food and household items. There are no industrial facilities in the

Buyengero and Songa municipalities, with the exception of three small coffee pulping and

washing units. Handicraft is not developed and is limited to two municipal councils with thirty

carpentry workshops, about sixty brickyards, some bakeries and garages.

7.2 Access to Basic Facilities and Services:

7.2.1 Health: The Buyengero municipality has 2 health centres located in the Muyama and

Muzenga areas. The Songa municipality has 4 health centres located in the Muheka, Kiryama,

Ndago and Songa areas. There is a regional hospital at the level of the province. Malaria is the

most prevalent disease in the two municipalities, followed by acute respiratory infections and

diarrhoeal diseases.

7.2.2 Education: The Buyengero and Songa municipalities have 71 complete functional

primary schools. They total 274 classrooms and 130,170 pupils, of which approximately 45%

girls. Pupil-per-classroom ratios show slight variations between 60 and 79 between the zones.

Pupil-teacher ratios are more balanced among zones with ratios between 26 and 37. The average

primary school drop-out rate is 3.10%, while repetition rate stands at 30.7%. Twelve secondary

schools, of which 2 are full-cycle, are functional in the Buyengero and Songa municipalities.

15

They total 89 classrooms and 1,421 pupils, of which approximately 37% girls. The average

secondary school drop-out rate is 0.6%, while repetition rate stands at 2.9%. There is only one

vocational technical school in the Songa, with an enrolment of 821 students, of which 14.4%

girls.

7.2.3 Household energy: The Buyengero municipality gets electricity from the Manga plant

and the Mugamba-Tora-Buyengero 30 kW medium voltage line. In addition to the medium

voltage lines, Buyengero has some standby generators used in the headquarters of the

municipality in the event of power failure. The Songa municipality is connected by the Kiryama-

Rumeza line. For want of sufficient hydropower, firewood is an important energy source in the

two municipalities. Coal is rarely used.

7.2.4 Drinking water: The Songa and Bunyengero municipalities each have several hundred

water points managed by the Municipal Water Authority (RCE). These water sources include

harnessed water sources, standpipes and private connections, a number of which are not working.

Each household has access to a water point within 500 meters of home.

7.2.5 Transport and access roads: The asphalted sections of road infrastructure are in good

condition. However, all dirt and rural roads are in very poor condition, which is an inaccessibility

factor for certain areas of the municipality and a major handicap for trade with neighbouring

municipalities.

8. Loss Valuation and Compensation

8.1 Calculation Method According to National Legislation

8.1.1 Provisions of the Ordinance Updating Compensation Rates (2008): In Burundi, the

provisions on land expropriation for public utility are governed by the Land Code and

supplemented by Ministerial Order No 720/CAB/304/2008 20/03/2008 updating the

compensation rates for land, crops and buildings in case of expropriation for public utility (the

Ordinance). This order establishes procedures for calculating compensation, using formulas

adapted and applied to annual and biennial food crops, perennial crops (banana, coffee, tea, etc.)

and constructions.

8.2 Basis of Valuation Chosen

8.2.1 Lands: Lands were assessed based on a workshop held on 18 October 2013 in

Bujumbura with REGIDESO, representatives of institutions and representatives of inhabitants

living around the Jiji and Mulembwe rivers. The participants highlighted the shortcomings of the

2008 Ordinance and indicated that the rates depend on several factors: slope, soil quality,

existing relationships between the buyer and seller, etc. Land is generally sold among people of

the same family and rarely to a third party outside the family circle; where this is the case, the

price can be much higher than for intra-family land transactions. In the project area, participants

were of the opinion that the price of farmland on steep slopes and with poor soil quality stood at

around FIB 2,500/m2, and good quality agricultural land on a mild slope and with rich soils

could go up to FIB 5,000/m2. The working group's proposal is to adopt a median price of

FIB 4,000/m2 and, accordingly, this is the unit rate of farmland used in this RAP.

16

8.2.2 Homesteads: The compensation price per m2 of buildings is determined on the basis of

a typical building (brick walls, ceiling batts). The price of the built square meter was estimated at

FIB 146,200 (based on the price of a semi-durable house of FIB 60,000 pursuant to the 2008

Ordinance but increased by an inflation rate of 16% over 6 years - that is, about 2.5 times the

base value of 2008), namely:

FIB 4,385,000 for a building of 30 m2



8.2.3 Annual crops: Compensation rates for annual crops were estimated based on the rates

specified in Order No. 720/CAB/304/2008 20/03/2008, taking into account an annual inflation

rate of 16% over the 2008-2014 period (6 years), which is equivalent to about the initial value of

2008 multiplied by 2.5. If new crops are identified at the time of final implementation of the

RAP, their rates would be calculated on this basis, factoring in inflation. This method allows for

a valuation close to, or slightly higher than market rates (depending on the crop).

Sweet potato 35,279

Cabbage 36,254

Tomato 203,488

Egg plant 112,464

8.2.4 Perennial crops: The compensation rates for perennial crops were also estimated based

on the rates specified in the Ordinance of 2008, taking into account an annual inflation rate of

16%.

8.2.5 Trees (timber): The compensation for trees (pinus and eucalyptus are the predominant

species) is based on the "softwood lumber and timber" table of the 2008 Ordinance, taking into

account inflation rate of 16% over 6 years (over the 2008-2013 period) and considering an

average diameter of between 30 and 59 cm. The unit price (per tree) was thus estimated at BIF

3,300.

9. Additional Resettlement and Livelihood Restoration Measures

Implementation of the RAP includes a set of measures in addition to compensation and

assistance as outlined in the previous sections. These measures aim to satisfy the requirement

that the project ought to improve the general living conditions of persons affected.

9.1 Livelihood Improvement Measures (M1)

9.1.1 A small Farmers' Organization (FO) adapted to the status of PAP will be

established to coordinate and stimulate the economic agricultural activities handled by men

as well as those handled by women. Considering the population density and very low offer of

farmland for sale in the region, it is unlikely that the PAPs losing farmlands will find others

through financial compensation.

9.1.3 The FO will propose and promote the following initiatives:

Training farmers in new agricultural practices for better yields;

Pooling the purchase of farm inputs in bulk to benefit from better prices;

Research on high-yield seeds and plants;

Pooling of resources to access the best markets for agricultural products.

9.1.4 The budget required is estimated based on the following principles:

The budget is to be allocated between the Jiji project (40%), Mulembwe project

(40%) and HT lines (20%)

Project duration: 5 years

Full-time positions for Burundians: (i) one manager (BIF 15,000/day), (ii) one

secretary (10,000 BIF/day), (iii) three agronomists (BIF 15,000/day), (iv) two

supervisors (10,000 BIF/day). That totals BIF 165,000,000 over five years.

A utility vehicle for the unit and its operation over 5 years: BIF 50,000,000

The visit of an international expert ten days every year for 5 years: BIF

150,000,000

A non-salary operating budget of BIF 10,000,000 per year over 5 years

An investment budget of BIF 50,000,000 per year over 5 years (nurseries, plants,

seeds, tools, soil improvements, ...)

18

Total: BIF 665,000,000 to be broken down as follow:

– Jiji hydropower project BIF 266,000,000

– Mulembwe hydropower project BIF 266,000,000

– Power lines project: BIF 133,000,000

9.2 NGO Support during the Resettlement Process (M2)

9.2.1 All PAPs will be assisted, if they so desire, during the resettlement process by a local,

national or international NGO (to be identified before the start of the project), whose operation

will be covered by a budget included in this RAP. This NGO will be supported by the services

and mediation of local facilitators. Assistance may take the form of:

Training/sensitization on the use of compensation (NGO);

Assistance for land search and price negotiation;

Assistance in the opening of postal accounts (or in credit agencies such as the

Savings and Credit Cooperative - SACCO) for vulnerable PAPs, primarily those

for whom the compensation amount will be high.

And in general:

– Implementation of actions for the protection of vulnerable persons;

– Implementation of actions to ensure that women receive equal treatment in

access to compensation and technical assistance measures. 9.2.2 The budget required is estimated below:

The budget to be allocated between the Jiji project (40%), Mulembwe project

(40%) and HT lines (20%).

Project duration: 5 years;

Full-time positions for Burundians: (i) one manager (BIF 15,000/day), (ii) one

secretary (BIF 10,000 /day), (iii) one specialist in land tenure law (BIF

15,000/day), 5 field facilitators (BIF 10,000 /day). That totals roughly BIF

165,000,000 over five years.

A utility vehicle for the unit and its operation over 5 years: BIF 50,000,000:

A non-salary operating budget of 10,000,000 per year over 5 years;

Total: BIF 265,000,000 to be distributed as follows:

– Jiji hydropower project BIF 106,000,000

– Mulembwé hydropower project BIF 106,000,000

– Power lines project: BIF 53,000,000

19

9.3 Food Aid for the Transition Period (M3): There is provision for food support to assist

identified vulnerable PAP and tenants. Each family (regardless of the number of children per

family), over a period of six months, will receive per day on average: 2 kg of cassava, 500 g of

beans, 500 g of meat, ¼ litre of oil and 250 g of sugar. Based on 2013 prices adjusted at a 16%

inflation rate for 2014, the fixed amount per day is BIF 5,500, i.e. food aid to the tune of BIF

990,000 over 6 months.

9.4 General Assistance to Resettlement and Arrangements Regarding all PAPs (M4):

This measure covers a range of costs caused by the several arrangements attendant to the

successful conduct of the resettlement. The amount is set at BIF 17,000/PAP.

9.5 Training in financial management (M5): From experience, the payment of financial

compensation can generate unintended negative effects, especially for women and children. To

minimize these adverse effects of sudden cash availability within the household, the project will

provide training on the rational use and management of compensation prior to any compensation

payment. The budget required is BIF 35,000 per household.

9.6 Additional Measures: Rural Electrification This measure aims to improve the living

conditions of inhabitants of the project area. It is a major factor for social acceptability of the

project. Rural electrification costs will be included in the project budget and does not represent a

specific expenditure item in this RAP.

22

10. Environmental Protection

10.1 The negative impacts of reconstruction activities on the environment will be similar to

those of an isolated housing site with very limited noticeable impact on the immediate

environment of the building. These potential impacts concern mainly noise and dust nuisance in

the neighbourhood. Mitigation measures are outlined in the Environmental and Social

Management Plan (ESMP).

11 Integration with Host Communities:

11.1 Insofar as the PAPs will remain in their hill or area of origin, integration in host

communities is not a subject of concern and relevant action for this RAP. There is no foreseen

impact or specific provisions to be implemented for the grouped integration of displaced persons.

12 Organizational Responsibility

12.1 REGIDESO: REGIDESO will be responsible for implementation of RAPs through a

dedicated RAP Implementation Unit (RIU). REGIDESO will work with the Resettlement

Committee (RC) and an NGO for the implementation of RAPs. REGIDESO will also be

responsible for monitoring the performance of the resettlement operation and participate in

control audits. REGIDESO will maintain close collaborative relations with public technical

structures involved in the resettlement, interested PAPs and NGOs.

12.2 RAP Implementation Unit: The RIU will be responsible for the implementation of

RAPS and coordination with the various stakeholders. It will maintain permanent presence in the

Project area and constant communication with the administrative bodies, local government

structures as well as persons affected and their local resettlement committees. The RAP

Implementation Unit will be established by REGIDESO and will include: a project manager, a

land specialist and a sociologist.

12.3 Resettlement Committees (RC): The RC is a high-level committee that will oversee

and guide the overall implementation of RAPs for the various components of the Project. The

Ministry of Mines and Energy will be responsible for appointing the committee members.

Representatives will be appointed by ministerial decree, except in the case of private companies.

The Committee will comprise at least the representatives of municipalities, sectors, REGIDESO,

the Ministry of Finance, the works contractor, civil society and PAPs.

12.4 Local Resettlement Committees: Local resettlement committees will be established upon approval of the PRC and RAP summary. They will play a key role in the consultation process, facilitate communication with PAPs and be actively involved in consultation activities.

12.5 National Land Commission (NLC): The NLC is established by the Land Code (Art.

452) and is tasked with assisting the government in the preparation, implementation, monitoring

and evaluation of the national land policy. Its composition is established by decree; it is required

to issue an opinion prior to expropriation to ensure proper implementation of land legislation.

23

13. Participatory Process

13.1 Description of the Participatory Process Conducted to Date:

13.1.1 Consultation process: There was extensive public consultation during successive

studies undertaken on the project since 2010:

The former Consultant, Fichtner, organized several meetings at the level of the

municipalities and hills concerned by the project; communication with

stakeholders was maintained throughout the period of socio-economic surveys

conducted in 2010-2011.

In addition to Fichtner's surveys in 2011, public consultations were held between

August and September 2013 by ARTELIA and SHER, during which each person

identified as a PAP was presented and called upon to participate in the socio-

economic survey.

Local consultations: On 6 August 2013, a briefing and sensitization meeting on

the Mulembwe and Jiji projects was held in the Songa municipality at

Nyamitanga, for the populations of the Muheka and Musenyi hills; 61 people took

part in this meeting. A second briefing and sensitization was organized in the

Byengero municipality at Songorero for the populations of the Karambi and

Kanyinia hills during which 34 participants were recorded.

National consultations: The first national consultation took place on 23 August

2013 in Bujumbura. The consultation concerned Jiji and Mulembwe hydropower

development projects as well as the High Voltage Overhead power lines (HVOL)

and electrical sub-stations. The first public consultation was attended by 50

representatives of central and regional administrations, project affected persons

and NGOs. The second consultation was held on 18 October 2013 with 49 persons

following submission of the draft ESIA report.

13.1.2 Main Topics

The concerns and expectations of the various stakeholders include:

– Safety measures planned in the vicinity of dams and roads;

– Equity with respect to the compensation of affected assets;

– Equity regarding the persons impacted, in particular consideration for non-

owner operators;

– Compensation in connection with natural species in the right-of-way;

– Hiring of local labour during the works and sub-contracting to local firms -

development of income generating activities during and after project

implementation;

24

– Financing of community groves in villages in compensation for felled trees

along the road during works, with the choice of species to be planted left to

the populations concerned and technical services; and

– Organisation of information and awareness campaigns on issues related to

safety, hygiene and prevention against sexually transmitted diseases

(HIV/AIDS in particular) as well as preservation of natural resources,

cultural sites and monuments (specific measures relating to the marking of

sacred places).

13.2 Consultations During Project implementation

13.2.1 During RAP implementation, the RAP Implementation Unit (RIU) will be responsible

for planning and regular consultation with affected communities, thus covering the various PAP

groups, including vulnerable persons.

13.2.2 From the beginning of RAP implementation, the RIU will set up an office on the project

site. Information concerning the opening of the office will be widely communicated to the

affected persons, including schedules during which the staff contact person will be available. The

office location will be properly signposted. The office will be set up in a location where access

shall in no way be hindered or blocked by the works.

13.2.3 All consultation and communication activities will be recorded (in reports) and

archived. Attendance sheets signed by the participants will be established for each consultation

and information activity.

13.3 Dissemination of RAPs:

13.4.1 PAPs and communities in the project area will be provided a summary of measures, as

explicit and as precise as possible, written in French and Kirundi. This information sheet will be

given to councils and organizations that will so request during consultations. The persons

consulted will have time, between presentation of the final RAP measures and expression of their

opinion, to deepen their knowledge of the proposals from the information sheet.

13.4.2 After approval by the Government of Burundi and the World Bank, the plan will be

published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Burundi, the World Bank Info-Shop and the

websites of the African Development Bank and European Investment Bank.

14 Grievance Redress

14.1 Grievance Recording and Monitoring

14.1.1 The grievance mechanism will be available to all affected parties, including vulnerable

persons. Therefore, it will be possible to record grievances at the local level through

resettlement committees, the RIU office and REGIDESO offices. For each grievance, a file will

be opened, containing a grievance form (in Kirundi or French), an acknowledgement of receipt

of grievance to be handed to the complainant, a follow-up sheet and a closure sheet.

25

14.2 Three Levels of Grievance Redress

14.2.1 First Level: Local Level in Cooperation with the RIU: Resettlement

committees/village leaders receive training from the RIU in order to deal with problems that can

be addressed by explanations (that is, explanation of the resettlement policy, determination of

compensation strategy or eligibility, construction regulations). The grievance redress team will

cooperate with representatives of local resettlement committees and representatives of the

construction contractor, and will meet directly with the complainant to provide detailed

explanations and, if necessary, combine the explanations with a field visit to the area subject to

dispute/construction grievance.

14.2.2 Second Level: Mediation Committee: The second level will handle grievances that the

first level is unable to resolve and will come up with solutions which, if accepted, will be binding

on the implementing agency and the complainant(s). However, the objective is to avoid legal

proceedings and to try to reach an amicable settlement, if possible. The second level of grievance

redress will work with a Mediation Committee established at the level of the municipality and

will include a representative of the Municipality, the RIU and three representatives of affected

persons.

14.2.3 Third Level: Legal Redress

If this mechanism fails to come up with an amicable agreement, the complainant or respondent

may seek legal redress (at any time).

15. Implementation Schedule

In accordance with the implementation schedule of the basic project and particularly the

resettlement plan, the duration of services, including compensation of all beneficiaries, will be

four (4) months. This timeframe includes the phase of negotiation with PAPs, and monetary

compensation for the physical resettlement of displaced persons, the provision of additional

services, capacity building, etc.

16 Cost and Budget

The budget for compensation, support and assistance to PAPs for non-linear components was

calculated based on a comprehensive census of PAPs, as set out in the annexes. Hence, it is a

reliable estimate of assets affected by non-linear components. The budget for compensation,

support and assistance to PAPs for linear components and undefined components has been

estimated. The "final" compensation costs will be determined after negotiations with PAPs,

based on signed agreements.

The estimated costs of the Resettlement Plan include:

Compensations to affected populations;

A set of measures and activities to be undertaken for implementation of the RAP

rated from M1 to M5.

An operating budget for the RAP;

A RAP update budget;

10% contingency allocation

The total budget for the RAPs of the Jiji and Mulembwe projects stands at USD 4,349,816 (BIF

6,796,788,133). The tables below provide a summary of the budget for each site.

17 Monitoring and Evaluation

The monitoring of activities will include three main components:

Internal monitoring of RAP implementation (activities/results): evaluation of

activities, implementation timelines, degree of compliance with RAPs and directly

measurable results, such as:

- The total compensation amount paid over a period of one month (see below)

- The number of persons undergoing livelihood restoration training sessions

- The number of lost and restored homes, surface areas of replacement land affected

- Business activities restored.

Remark: the monitoring of compensation/benefits payment will be entrusted to an external

independent entity.

External monitoring (by external experts): Internal monitoring will ascertain

progress and analyse problems at regular intervals (for instance quarterly) to

provide information for necessary updates of RAP procedures.

Final RAP audit (by one or more international experts): The final compliance

audit aims to ascertain project compliance with the conditions set out in the RAP

and the fulfilment of commitments by all parties.
