The CSEDP to invest in the development of the basic infrastructure services for Thanh
Hoa city, which comprises 05 Components: (1) urban road development; (2) water supply upgrading and expansion; (3) drainage and wastewater treatment improvement;
(4) human resource development, including the upgrading of vocational schools and development of training curriculum; and (5) tourism development.
The External Resettlement Monitoring Report - The Fifth Mission (EMA5) presents the compensation, site clearance and resettlement of CSEDP. The report provide an
independent periodic review and assessment of (i) The compliance of compensation and resettlement implementation with the approved RP; (ii) achievement of resettlement
objectives; (iii) changes in living standards and livelihoods; (iv) restoration and/or improvement of the economic and social base of the affected people; (v) effectiveness
and sustainability of entitlements; and (vi) the need for further mitigation measures
The community consultation and information dissemination are fully carrying out at all
levels with various forms such as consultation meetings, using public address system, posting update RP at the community headquarters and distributing booklets.
The process of information dissemination, community consultation have been strictly
undertaken at all 17 communes/wards including not land acquisition locations and site
clearance. The CSEDP coordinating with the City CSCC, People’s Committees of communes/wards organized many meetings and direct dialogue with HHs, who had
complaints to resolve these complaints/petitions
The information on resettlement problem, land prices, completed process of resettlement
infrastructure areas, priority-support policies of the City for each project and recent program as income restoration are quickly published/ disseminated to AHs and
communities.
The resolving complaints/petitions of EMA 4: By the time of EMA 5 (dated 4/9/2013),
70 Decisions were approved by PPC to compensate for CSEDP before dated 4/6/2013 (EMA 4). Local authorities has paid for 98.4% of approved money out of 1628 HHs,
accounted 97.6% of approved HHs. Many remaining complaints from the EMA 4 have been resolved with highly effective. However, the impacts on construction have yet to
resolve fully.
At the time of EMA5, the inventory process have basically completed all of communes
located have the site clearance. The inventory team have enough members following the Project’s provisions. The process of additional inventory and support lacked assets have
undertaken well in order to contribute resolving the comments/petitions. At the present,
some lands and assets of 07 AHs at Dong Cuong of the component 4 have not yet inventoried and compensated additionally
7
The price fixing in accordance with PPC’s Decisions has applied to count the compensation for affected types
The compensation paying has complied with provisions. From EMA 4 (04/06/2013) to EMA 5 (04/092013) paid for 10 approved Decisions. The CSCC paid completely
compensation for 5/10 approved Decisions. Result as 98 % of money was paid and 92.2% (83/90 HHs) of HHs were received.
Totally, at the time of EMA 5 (04/9/2013), 80 Decisions were approved with the number of money as 384,405,963 VND. Of which 378,306,480 VND paid (including
fees for CSCC) accounted 98.4%. The number of HHs who were approved the
compensation as 1.758 HHs and 1.711 HHs were received compensation, accounted
97.3%.
At the point of dated 04/9/2013 (EMA 5), All of 04 Components were cleared the sites.
The packages are enough conditions to construct .
From EMA 4 to EMA 5, the resettlement has been implemented effective with the
participation of the functional departments, local government and political institutions. All 255 compulsorily resettled households on 7 communes/wards have already received
compensation for land transfer. Most of the resettlement households have received land
allocation decisions and land in the resettlement areas. However, some households
received resettlement land quite more slowly compared with the time their land was handed over for the project. Approximately 60% of resettlement households are building
their house for stable lives. Some households have received the Red Book (land use right certification) after fully paying for the land
There are 03 outstanding problems and receiving many comments/petitions from resettled HHs as: (i) Infrastructure at resettlement sites must be completed quickly.
There are only 50% of resettlement sites having full electricity, water; (ii) HHs who have fully paid for purchasing land also should deliver over Use land Right to them as
soon as possible (iii) Build a additional supportive plans for housing and workshop rent for households which have not been allocated land in time (slower than the time they handed their ground); and recommending solutions to support AHs to do their business
The Project is being implemented land acquisition to construct infrastructure of resettlement sites for 05 collective organizations by refunded method. The public works
of the localities such as the interior canals, rural roads, electricity cords, etc. which have been affected by the implementation of the project can be remade after the Project
completes. However, all the temporary impacts on production and life (while they have not been remade) must be compensated
8
The project has strictly followed subsidizing policies as stated in the RP, and the support
levels are assessed low by community. Thanh Hoa city/province has special support
policies for resettlement HHs of the Project to speed up resettlement progress as well as secure on livelihood for HHs at least as before.
The income restoration program begins to be implemented following the Decision No. 2872/QĐ- UBND dated August 14th 2013 of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee.
The income restoration program (though being deployed slowly) have turned to the right beneficiaries under provisions of Vietnam and ADB.
The petitioning process has relatively followed regulated steps. All written petitions
have been addressed in written forms or witnessed dialogues between responsible
agencies and local HHs.
Gender issues have not been properly cared. There is not yet any form of information
dissemination or assistance exclusively for the group of families headed by women or single mothers in the proces of solving complaints and petitions.
Participation by women or women’s associations at all levels in the entire process of executing the project has not yet shown efficiency. They have not yet upheld the
women’s role in supervising, examining petitions and petition settlement.
The income restoration program of the project has targeted the single women group;
nevertheless, there should be special policy priorities for seriously affected households with many women laborers.
Construction was effected to the communal daily life and production. Most of these impacts on construction have been having since EMA1 to now, even tend to increase

2.2. Solutions to outstanding problems and other petitions
As of the EMA 5 (04/9/2013), all of the complaints have compensated or supported with the satisfactions as the lack of assets inventory; stabilizing life (some persons have yet to
support or proportion of land acquisition lacked…); the types of land are not exactly determined ; the land acquisition area is not exactly comparing with the Land Use Right.
There are now 04 HHs at Dong Cuong are affected by the Component 4 and they have not yet resolved because of raising from determining un-clear the demarcation of land
acquisition.
19
In Tan Son, Quang Thanh, Dien Bien, Ham Rong, all of resettlement HHs have received
compensation money and handed their grounds over to the Project to construct. The most of
AHs at all communies/wards have agreed with receiving compensation and handing the grounds over on the shorted time because it is the result of City/Province ‘s the special support policies to speed up Project progress such as: discount the resettlement areas (30%); ensure the resettlement price ≤ the acquisition land price; have the land/money support policies for HHs who are living in collective building or renting kios; and with many other support policies.
The tattered and uncultivated land acquisition were satisfactorily resolved and had no
comments.
2.3. Impacts on construction.
Many impacts on construction that were presented on EMA 3 report were still unresolved such as difficulty of transport, harvest, irrigation and uncultivated and drainage problems or
in Quang Thanh, Dong Ve, Quang Thang, Dong Hung. Furthermore, many projects are constructing together in the communes/wards affect seriously to resident’s life. The CSEDP
and CSCC coordinating with local authorities work with construction contractors in order to take measures mitigating damages and protect environment, and pay compensations for
AHs.

PETITIONS (Paper 41 )

III. SOME SPECIFIC RESULTS OF THE EMA 4 (EMA 4)
By the time of the EMA 5 (dated 04/9/ 2013) the compensation of land acquisition and
resettlement of the CSEDP Project for all four components having site clearance which has
almost been completed. The contract packages are qualified for construction. Only few
additional compensation proposals for affected areas (with low values) arise, and the CSCC
is checking and counting, submitting for approval in the soonest time. Some issues that need
to be resolved and completed in the coming period are as follows:
• Completing the infrastructure: electricity, water, road, drainage of resettlement areas to
facilitate the housing construction and stable lives of AHs.
• Land acquisition and infrastructure construction in the resettlement of 5 collective
organizations by refunded manner.
• Implementation of income restoration program abiding by Decision No. 2872/QĐ-UBND
dated August 14th 2013 of Thanh Hoa PPC approving the income restoration program of
CSEDP.
• Examining, identifying objects and preparing additional supportive plans for housing and
workshop rent for households which have not been allocated land in time (slower than the
time they handed their ground); and recommending solutions to support AHs to do their
business.
The monitoring results of 04 these Components will be presented below – The Project
3.1. Consultation community and information dissemination
Although the site clearance and resettlement have completed basically, the consultation community and information dissemination carried on undertaking all of communes/wards
relevant to the Project where have land acquisition. The CSEDP coordinating with the CSCC, People’s Committees of communes/wards organized many meetings and direct dialogue with HHs, who had complaints to resolve these complaints. Especially, from EMA 3 (3/2013) to EMA4 (6/2013), CSEDP have to make advocacy, disseminate information
about priority and supportive policies of Province/City to speed up the site clearance of the Project. Make sure that AHs have sufficient information as quickly as possible.
The consultation community and information dissemination have been implemented in accordance with ADB’s regulations. Consultation community has been launched city-wide,
to every commune, precinct, ward and hamlet. It has received strong support from the
21
community on such themes as land and properties which have been affected and qualified
for compensations in cash. The policy for resettlement HH is « land-to-land » exchange
equivalent to the compensated properties. Resettlement sites are similar to those of the recovered land. The appropriate support policies will be undertaken for each APs in
accordance with the Vietnamese Government’s provisions and the entitlement matrix following regulations of the projects using ODA. And especially in accordance with priority
and supportive policies of Province/City for the Project.
Resettlement HHs have received consultancy on resettlement sites and were given rights to
choose ways of resettlement. They have, however, not been involved into the supervision of
the entire process of the construction of the resettlement sites such as designing,
construction, infrastructure
There were no meetings for the women group. There were no methods of disseminating
special information for vulnerable groups. Information and plans on executing a new program about income restoration that was approved by Thanh Hoa PPC in accordance
with the Decision No. 2872/QĐ- UBND dated 14/08/2013 is being undertaken to the communes/wards of Project areas
Project’s handbook have been distributed to almost all AHs and none AHs living in the Project’s sites. The process of petition, locations of solving complaints were also disseminate in the meetings.
The RP updated of the Component 4 have given to AHs and posted in the commune
People’s Committees/hamlet cultural houses but some AHs have not known/or have clearly unknown about RP’s information. The coordination between responsible agencies and socio-political organizations to encourage AHs to abide by law has been conducted with high efficiency from EMA 4 to EMA 5
Province/City’s priority and supportive policies for the Project and especially the decreasing price of resettlement site, supporting money to buy houses for HHs who have had land
timely and supporting for HHs who are doing business affected by land acquisition have been disseminated widely and received high consensus of AHs. AHs’ comments/petitions are resolved satisfactorily by these policies and contributed stability livelihood of HHs
Comments and Findings:
Information on methods to solve differences between AHs’ rights as stated by the resettlement plan and Provincial regulations and policies, (in accordance with Land Use Right, land and assets compensation) is disseminated widely and fully to HHs.
The CSEDP and CSCC have been strictly coordinated with local authorities to consult
about making decisions of the City/Province’s institutions in order to speed up process of the compensation and site clearance of the Project
22
3.2. Inventory and Price fixing.
At the time of EMA 5, the inventory has completed almost of the site clearance areas. The
inventory teams consisted of all elements according to rules as the CSCC, local authorities, land registry offices, socio-political institutions, leader of hamlets and representatives of
AHs. AHs’ representatives signed in inventory minutes. The copy of inventory minutes were given to AHs. The inventory of additional assets, lacking/wrong supports have
completed basically with some AHs’ petitions. At the present, some land areas and assets of 04 AHs at Dong Cuong have been inventorying and waiting approval.
On-the-spot inventorying was conducted in relations with residential land, architecture
types and other assets. In regard to agricultural land : to calculate two kinds of inventory : conducting on-the-spot inventory and basing themselves on maps (if AHs agreed). most
representative HHs participated the inventory. The HHs recovered the agricultural land were not participated in the inventory process. They agreed calculation the area in
accordance with basing themselves on maps without conducting on the field inventory or authorized HH’s other representative participating the inventory because of owner HH working far from family.
The replacement price in accordance with the Decisions of Thanh Hoa People's Committee
on compensation and support for site clearance and resettlement of Components 3&5 has been applied to calculate the compensation prices for all affected types. The plans of
compensation price fixing were handed over to almost HHs and posted in People’s Committee of commune/ward in order to receive feedback before paying compensation at
least 05 days.
Comments and Findings:
From EMA 4 to EMA 5, the inventory process and fixing prices for affected additional assets at Dien Bien, Phu Son, Ham Rong wards of the components 3&5 were
implemented with high efficient and exactly contributing speed up the site clearance and resettlement process of the Project.
3.3. Compensation paying.
Compensation paying process has strictly followed rules and regulations:
i. The payment teams consist of all sectors : the CSEDP and the City CSCC,
representatives from the local administrations, supervision consultancy, communal chiefs, land registry offices
ii. The payment has been paid directly to (those who were listed in the decision), in case the others received the compensation money on the land owners ’ behalf they were required to show proxy sealed with local authorities’ stamps, full compensations
23
were paid just one time at the communal offices. If there were no testimonies for
heritage (the owners had died) the beneficiaries should have to show the minutes of
family meetings with consensus reached by all family members and their proxy. The compensation money receivers signed all related documents, including commitments
to handing over the ground. iii. Full compensations were paid just one time at the communal offices
Some AHs is continuing to receive compensation money. The CSCC cooperates with local
authorities to advocate AHs having consensus, receiving compensation money, and handing
over ground. From EMA 4 (4/6/2013) to EMA 5 (4/9/2013) Thanh Hoa PPC approved 10
Decisions about Project’s compensations with many efforts and priority policies of the Project. 5/10 approved Decisions were paid by CSCC. As a result as 98% of the total
money was paid and 92,2% of HHs were received money (83/90 HHs). See more Table 3.1

Resettlement
From EMA 4 to EMA 5, the resettlement has been implemented effective with the
participation of the functional departments, local government and political institutions. CSEDP coordinates with the City CSCC holds many meetings in order to consulting to
resettlement HHs, listening to HHs' opinions and aspirations to build up the most appropriate policies for APs, who will agree receiving compensation payment and hand
over their land for the Project in Quang Hung, Tan Son, Quang Thanh, Tan Sơn, Phu Sơn, Dien Bien, Ham Rong. The local authorities create favorable conditions for HHs to be able
to get land in resettlement sites (having Decision of allocation land, or having Land Use Right in somewhere)
In addition, the CSCC coordinates with the CSEDP also consulted for the Thanh Hoa
city/province having adjustments or special support to speed up resettlement progress. The City had priority supports for the Project in order to clear quickly the ground of resettlement
areas and finalized resettlement infrastructures for AHs:
1. The city has used resettlement sites with its position correspond to position of recovered
land. Resettled HHs are relatively satisfied with the resettlement sites
2. To resolve AHs’ comments/petitions about land price at resettlement sites is high, The City has discounted 30% of land at resettlement sites. This decision has received AHs’ consensus and they handed over ground.
26
3. Consultation with beneficiaries to adjust resettlement sites to smaller areas to meet their
demand, such as site 4221 was adjusted from 150 m2 down to 70-90m2/lot
4. Create conditions for households to buy land in accordance with their compensation amount and their circumstances (number of children, etc.)
5. The HHs who lived in office’s collective block in Dien Bien ward have get the City’s priority policies applied for CSEDP. They will get support policies for resettlement if
they have eligibility (no residential land acquisition – collective land): 1/ If HHs distributed before 1993, they will get land 50m2 without unpaid money for 50m2 in
resettlement site (If they do not receive land, they can get money as 175 million VND =
50m2 x 3,5 million VND/m2; 2/ If HHs distributed from 1993 to 2004, they will get
50% of support level above; 3/ If HHs distributed from 2004 to now, they will be considered to purchase lot of resettlement site/or house for low-income employee at the
ground 73 (if required) .
6. Due to site clearance to build resettlement area, HHs who have moved out or affected
doing business will receive aid priority from PPC as HHs who are forced resettlement of the Project
7. A family of serious invalids soldier will be supported 60m2 of resettlement land or
received 580.000.000 VND (equivalent to 11,6 million VND/m2).
At the time of EMA 5 (dated 4/9/2013), the results as all of 255 resettled HHs have received compensation and handed over ground to the Project in 07 communes/wards. The packages
are enough conditions to construct.
There are three outstanding problems and receiving many comments/petitions from resettled
HHs as:
Infrastructure at resettlement sites must be completed. Water, electricity, roads, sewer
must be had fully as soon as possible due to people can build their houses after handing over ground. In accordance with uncompleted statistics, there are 6/12 (50%) of
resettlement have yet complete infrastructure (including roads, electricity, water for each HH) and 60% resettled HHs (146/255 HHs) have/being built houses to stable life.
Build a plan to support additionally HHs who must to rent house/factory. Land were not
distributed to them timely (compared to the time they are handed over their ground to the project) and support HHs, who affected doing business (These HHs have received
support levels following the Decree No. 69/2009/ND-CP of Government).
HHs who have fully paid for purchasing land also should deliver over Use land Right to
them as soon as possible. The HHs can borrow money from bank to build their houses
27
(compensation for architecture types are not enough to build the houses) and restore
their business interruption after moving if they have the Use land Right
The refunded projects
The land and architectural types acquisition project for 5 collective organizations, namely: Thanh Hoa Provincial Post Office; Thanh Hoa Electric and Chemical Joint Stock Company; Thanh Hoa Broadcasting – Television Centre, Thanh Hoa Telecommunications; Thanh Hoa Army (Regiment 767). Such areas are compensated by infrastructure refunded method. Currently, Thanh Hoa province and the City are working hard to fulfill procedures for land allocation and infrastructure completion to assign to these organizations. They are expected to be completed in late 2013.
The provincial hospital and the maternity hospital of the Province have remained land; thus, the affected works will be rebuilt on the land of the hospitals. As the medical waste incinerator of the hospitals has been affected, the Project pays for medical waste incineration of the provincial hospitals (with the average amount of 200kg/day).
The public works of the localities such as the interior canals, rural roads, electricity cords, etc. which have been affected by the implementation of the project can be remade after the Project completes. However, all the temporary impacts on production and life (while they have not been remade) must be compensated.
Comments and Findings:
Resettlement HHs have received consultation services and reached consensus on land-to-land exchange, counting on the compensation value therefore the Project’s site clearance progress will be speed up.
The City/Province had some reasonable policies to implement Project’s safeguard policy and lawful interest of HHs lost houses including all houses located in office’s collective block.
Implementing the additional supports were suitable to the entitlement matrix and ODA’s regulations among the period that resettlement land was not distributed to HHs timely
28
Some producers are affected temporarily by collective works being constructed: interior canals, rural roads that have yet to compensate
3.5. Support Policies and Income Restoration
The project has strictly followed subsidising policies as stated in the resettlement plan. For HHs losing agricultural land supported stabilising life for those families which lost 10
percent upwards, in employment. For resettlement HHs supported to rent house for six months and transport service for moving out. Vulnerable, disadvantaged groups, poor
families and families target to social welfare have received a package subsidy of 1.5 million
VND. For 29 HHs affected doing business at Hang Dong street – Dien Bien ward have
received supports for 06 months in accordance with the provisions in the entitlement matrix and Government’s Decisions
Currently, the LARU of Thanh Hoa city is determining objects and preparing additional compensation plans for housing and workshop rent, supporting the business and production of households/units which have not been promptly allocated land compared with the time
they hand over their land (apart from the supporting levels under Decree No.69). Such additional supports are consistent with the interest matrix of the AHs, contributing to life
stabilization and income restoration for households which are required to resettle
Thanh Hoa city/province has special support policies for resettlement HHs of the Project
(presented above). These are as remarkable efforts of the local government to speed up resettlement progress as well as secure on livelihood for HHs at least as before.
In addition to supporting policies as stated in Decree No. 69 of the Government, the income restoration program begins to be implemented following the Decision No. 2872/QĐ- UBND
dated August 14th 2013 of Thanh Hoa PPC. The program is implemented from the beginning of the third quarter of 2013 (June, 2013) to the end of the third quarter of 2014
(September, 2014) with such main activities as: (i) implementing the income restoration
models, (ii) providing supports for life and production stabilization, (iii) raising awareness
and capacity.
Participants of income restoration program are determined in accordance with the
provisions of ADB: households severely affected by losses which are equal or more than 10% of production land, or equal or more than 10% of income from livelihood activities;
the relocated households and vulnerable households (poor, families of revolutionary martyrs or invalid ex-soldiers, of the elderly and helpless, single women households, minorities,
etc.). According to the survey, 948 of the 1434 AHs (66 %) are eligible for the income restoration program.
Comments and Findings:
29
Some subsidy rates were put by the community as low, far away from the replace costs
to stabilise their life. The lowest rate of financial support for employment at 1.5 times of
cultivated land prices as set by the Government decision 69 was not suitable in urban areas neither.
By considering the content, the independent consultant unit found that the income restoration program (though being deployed slowly) have turned to the right
beneficiaries under provisions of Vietnam and ADB. With various activities which will be implemented in all 17 wards/communes in the project covering areas, the program
will help to restore the life stability, ensuring the goal that the living standards of the
AHs will be at least equal to the standards prior to the project.
3.6. Petition and petition settlement
As at the time of EMA 5 (4/9/2013), the remaining comments/petitions of EMA 4 (13 petitions) have resolved with high consensus of community.
Preliminary inventory showed that there are only 6 petitions (accounted 0.4% out of AHs) have comments about additional compensation for affected assets. All most of petitions are
reviewed and resolved in accordance with the Law and ODA Project’s provisions.
All written petitions have been addressed in written forms or witnessed dialogues between
responsible agencies and local HHs. The petitioning process has relatively followed regulated steps.
Many communal petitions asked for restoration of communal projects in service of essential production and daily life of the community such as inter-field ditches and canals, rural
lanes, electricity grids and water pipes. The problems have been solved or are under consideration by the CSEDP and the CSCC.
SEE MORE APPENDIX 1: SUMMARY OF HHs’ COMPLAINTS/PETITIONS IN EMA 5 (Page 36)
Comments and Findings
Petition settlement has been well done by responsible agencies in association with the community.
The priority/supportive policies of the Province/City are the key to resolve all of petitions with high effectiveness and creating consensus from community
3.7. Gender and Ethnic minorities
30
Not any ethic minorities are affected by the project
Not any exclusive meetings or consultancy services were held for women. There is not yet
any form of information dissemination or assistance exclusively for the group of families headed by women or single mothers in the proces of solving complaints and petitions.
Participation by women or women’s associations at all levels in the entire process of executing the project has not yet shown efficiency. They have not yet upheld the women’s role in supervising, examining petitions and petition settlement.
The income restoration program of the project has targeted the single women group;
nevertheless, there should be special policy priorities for seriously AHs with many women
laborers. The program should give priorities to income restoration models, providing
vocational training towards the employment of women laborers being affected by the project.
3.8 Impacts on construction.
Construction the ring road (Component 1) effected to the communies' daily life and production. Most of these impacts on construction have been exited since the bid-packages
starting construction and remaining for now. Basically as follows :
Impacts on production: floods and droughts affecting cultivated land, blocking inter-
field canals in many communes/wards. For instance, in Quang Thinh : 10 hectares of Dong Sen affected by irrigation ; in Quang Thanh : 06 hectares of Thanh Mai hamlet
affected by irrigation systems and 03 hectares are uncultivated. In Thanh Yen : 16 hectares of rice are effected by construction without irrigation
Impacts on daily life: construction trucks damaged rural transport roads-the road cut cross the rural lane has blocked transport. No guarantee of environmental regulations,
detritus transport trucks, construction materials impacted on communities life (Quang Thinh, Quang Thanh, Quang Thang ...)
It’s important that all the above-mentioned effects have shown the trend to get further prolonged and more serious at the point the construction work is at its peak and uses a
greater quantity of machines, especially during the rainy and stormy season.
Currently, PPC is reviewing the supports for affected areas by the Projects are being
constructed (not belong to scope of Project’s site clearance) that can not be cultivated (following Document No. 6922/UBND-KTTC dated 03/9/2013 of PPC)
Comments and Findings
A lot of communes located in Project areas are influenced by many constructions that
were being undertaken at the same time. Therefore, these impacts are overlapping and
difficult to separate. The CSEDP must coordinate with local authorities having reasoned
solutions to clarify the Project’s effects of which can be minimized the impacts, and supported for AHs.

3.9. The satisfaction of the AHs about the compensation, site clearance and
resettlement of the Project.
3.9.1. Community consultation and information dissemination
In general, AHs participated and relatively satisfied with process, content, and form of the community consultation and information dissemination of the Project such as: (i)
differences and how to resolve the differences between Provincial regulations/policies and ADB’s safeguarding policies, (ii) the complaints procedure and where resolved the complaints.
The Decisions and separated support policies/additional support of the Project have been disseminated as immediately as possible, and received the community’s consensus. These policies not only contribute improving resettlement process but also undertake restoring livelihood for AHs.
3.9.2. Inventory/Price fixing, Compensation and Resettlement
For HHs who loose their agricultural land: most of them agreed with the inventory
procedure, replacement cost and compensation prices fixing, paying compensation. At the point of EMA 5 . Some questioned about shortcomings in inventorying have compensated
additionally.
For resettlement HHs: Although many of them claimed that compensation prices for their
land and Architecture types are low, the method of land to land is in line with the compensation amount, the resettlement area is located just within the commune, land price
at resettlement area is quite reasonable that satisfy resettlement HHs. The local authorities said that resettled HHs have received benefits from the Project.
3.9.3. Policies for income support and restoration
All of AHs will receive support from policies for income support and restoration in accordance with the RP. However, AHs confirmed that many support levels are low and
they are not satisfied. Income restoration program for heavy AHs are being started implementation. It will contribute to restore income and stable life to AHs
3.10. About CSEDP and Thanh Hoa Compensation and Site Clearence
Commitee
32
CSEDP project management unit has performed very well their function. During the project
implementation, CSEDP has coordinated effectively with CSCC. CSEDP has provided
compensation amounts fully and in time as soon as the city finalised the payment decision. CSEDP has given fully information about the project regulations to the CSCC to support
their implementation, regularly coordinated in dealing with disputations, suggested/consulted solutions to provincial authorities in order to deal with remaining
issues.
The CSEDP has great success in consulting to Province/City that offered many special
support polices for the Project, showing the respect for AHs' Rights and contributed
speeding up Project’s progress. At the present, CSEDP is coordinating with CSCC to
undertake the additional compensation plan for renting house/factory and supporting doing business for resettlement HHs, who were not distributed the resettlement land timely.
CSEDP is also implementing the income restoration program following ADB’s regulations
The CSCC is a professional unit (not having any other functions), which is experienced in
Site Clearance and Resettlement. Number of staff is rather sufficient to meet the demand of the project. Furthermore, CSCC is concurrently processing many projects, thus difficulty in
lacking staff at some time is unavoidable. However, the inventory process, compensation, and resettlement implemented in accordance with procedures and high effectiveness
The PPC and CSCC of Thanh Hoa city have instructed concerned authorities, communes/wards to give priorities to the project. However, some problems can not be
solved at once due to mechanisms, which need consideration and approval from higher authorities. The progress of land acquisition and resettlement can be by these issues
[33]
IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
As of the time for EMA5, 04/9/ 2013, the compensation and land clearance of CSEDP project have been basically completed. All AHs have received compensation and handed over their land. All components which have clean surface have been deployed construction.
All 255 compulsorily resettled households on 7 communes/wards have already received compensation for land transfer. Most of the resettlement households have received land allocation decisions and land in the resettlement areas. However, some households received resettlement land quite more slowly compared with the time their land was handed over for the project. Approximately 60% of resettlement households are building their house for stable lives. Some households have received the Red Book (Land Use Right ) after fully paying for the land.
The number of AHs is quite large (1484 households), especially the compulsorily resettled households count for 17% of AHs, among which the majority live in urban areas; nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of the project implementation authorities, the compensation for land acquisition & resettlement of the CSEDP has been conducted efficiently, fairly quickly, getting the consent of the AHs and communities:
- The CSEDP and CSCC had great achievement in collaboration with local authorities of communes/wards to carry on the site clearance and resettlement of the Project with high effects. Especially, the CSEDP and CSCC consulted priority/supportive policies for Province/City to speed up resettlement progress as well as secure on livelihood for HHs at least as before
- The process of information dissemination, consultation with community has implemented strictly following rules. However, not all AHs in particular and the entire community in general have thoroughly grasped regulations and rights.
- Province/City’s priority/supportive policies are disseminated timely to AHs and communities, contributing to satisfactory resolution of the outstanding complaint.
The checking and inventorying of affected assets has basically completed at the localities having site clearance. There are only few supplemental affected assets/land which are being checked, counted and submitted for approval in the coming period. The checking group has various kinds of participants as regulated.
The replacement price was applied for counting compensation for all types of affected properties and land. The compensation has been compliant with the stated
34
procedures. The compensation has been paid directly, once, at the communal office and at least one month prior to the construction.
As of 04/9/2013 (EMA5), with lots of efforts by the city Board of land clearance and the supportive coordination of CSEDP (sufficient and timely money transfer), a total of 80 decisions have been approved with a total compensation amount of 384,405,963 VND. 378,306,480 VND has been paid (including costs for the GPMB Board), counted for 98.4%. The not yet been paid money is mainly for households (25 households) which are being reviewed their eligibility to be allocated land and resettlement houses in the area of Hồ Thành 4 – Điện Biên Ward.
The city need to: (i) rapidly improving the infrastructure of resettlement sites for the population to build houses for their life stabilization. (ii) Issuing land decision-making and land owner rights certifications for resettlement HHs which have fully paid for land. As quickly as possible, completing the subject identifications and preparing additional compensation plans for housing and workshop rent, providing supports for the business of resettlement HHs which have not been promptly allocated land.
Thanh Hoa Province and the City need to implement land acquisition and complete the infrastructure for the resettlement grounds handover to the affected collective units by infrastructure - infrastructure refunded method. For the public works which are refunded pending, the CSEDP needs to coordinate with the contractors to compensate for temporary impacts caused by the construction to the AHs (causing flood/drought that reduces production or makes cultivation impossible, etc.)
The CSEDP needs to inform thoroughly and have penalties (if needed) so that the construction contractors must ensure their management compliant with the regulations for environmental protection in the project areas (in causing dust, road cracks, noise, etc.)
The project has been compliant with the supportive policies provided in the RP; nevertheless, the communities have seen some supportive levels as being low. The CSEDP should coordinate with the CSCC to effectively implement the income restoration program stated in Decision No. 2872/QĐ – UBND by the People’s Committee of Thanh Hóa Province dated on August 14th 2013 to help stabilize their lives and reduce the negative impacts of the project.
The CSEDP should continue to strengthen supervisions over the implementation of income restoration program to ensure that the program has targeted the right objects and effectively contributed to achieve the goal that the living standards of AHs are not lower than previously.
The process of complaints/petitions and resoluting petitions have been strictly disseminated and implemented following ADB’s provisions. All remained comments/petitions from EMA 4 have completely resolved. At the present, there
[35]
only 06 petitions (accounted 0.4% of total of AHs) are reviewing and resolving in accordance with the Law and the rules of ODA Projects.
Gender issues have not yet received due attention. In the next stages of the project,
it’s necessary to give priority policies in support of women for employment changing, income restoration. To take measures to protect reproductive health when
women have to change their jobs and work far away from home due to losses of agricultural land
Apart from priority policies for single women households, the income restoration program should have production transition models towards the use of female laborers, or have priority policies for the AHs that have many female laborers.
Women/women’s associations have not yet effectively participated nor shown high effective role in the entire process of executing the project. Women’s ineffective part in supervising, monitoring the entire process of implementing the project poses a problem that should be addressed in the coming period of the project.

Basically, there has been no complaint. The resettlement households in ground No. 2185 have
land allocation decisions and land owner right certifications. The infrastructure in this area has been comparatively well completed. Currently, due to the weak water pressure, the water is not so good. The water plant is finding solutions.
The Household of Mrs. Quy still has questions. The City is considering approving additional money to support poor households or households led by single women (Under the provincial regulations, if the household is eligible for different kinds of support, it can only be entitled to one highest one).
