A. Executive Summary

1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on 16 December 2011 approved a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) in the amount of $730 million for the Power Transmission Investment Program (PTIP). The Vietnam Electricity National Power Transmission Corporation (NPT) is the executing agency (EA), while the Southern Power Project Management Board (SPMB) is the implementing agency (IA). ADB approved Tranche 1 in December 2011, Tranche 2 in November 2012, and Tranche 3 in December 2015.

2. Among the nine subprojects included in PTIP-Tranche 3, seven are under the management of SPMB. In which, three subprojects, namely the 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa Transmission Line (TL), 500 kV Duc Hoa Substation (SS), and 220 kV Vung Tau SS involve land acquisition while the four subprojects, which are the extension of (i) 220 kV Tra Vinh SS, (ii) 220 kV Uyen Hung SS, (iii) 220 kV Duc Hoa SS, and (iv) 500 kV Cau Bong SS requires the installation of second transformer within the boundary of the existing substations, thus no additional land acquisition impact is occurred.

3. As of December 2017, the subprojects of 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL and 500 kV Duc Hoa SS are identified to affect a total of 1,890.9 m2, affecting 3,005 households. In addition, the two subprojects will cause impacts on 17,396 m2 of houses and 8,162.4 m2 of secondary structures. As for 220 kV Vung Tau SS, the subproject affects 99 households (including 79 households at the substation location and 20 households by the connection line component) and acquires 36,485.8 m2. The 220 kV Vung Tau SS requires the relocation of 15 households who have already moved to the resettlement site in Ward 10 of Vung Tau City since 2016.

4. This internal social safeguard monitoring report is prepared covering the period from October to December 2017 and key activities implemented for the subprojects during the said period. These focus on the preparation of the updated Resettlement Plans (uRPs) based on the progress of DMS and consultation activities and compensation plan preparation for the affected households. Compensation payment activities under the 3 subprojects are reported as well as outstanding issues and further actions are also proposed in the report.

A. Background of the Report and Project Description

5. Recognizing the need to overcome current constraints in the power sector to ensure that the rapidly growing electricity demand could be met in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner, the Government of Viet Nam (GOV) approved in 2011 the National Power Sector Development Master Plan VII (PDMP VII). Under PDMP VII, the government approved multiple power generation and transmission projects to be implemented during 2011-2020.

6. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on 16 December 2011 approved a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) in the amount of $730 million for the Power Transmission Investment Program (PTIP). The Vietnam Electricity National Power Transmission Corporation (NPT) is the executing agency (EA), while the Central Power Project Management Board (CPMB) and Southern Power Project Management Board (SPMB) are the implementing agencies (IAs). ADB approved Tranche 1 in December 2011, Tranche 2 in November 2012, and Tranche 3 in June 2015. Tranche 3 is being carried out with nine subprojects, namely, the installation of a second transformer bank each for the (i) 220 kV Duc Hoa Substation (SS), (ii) 500 kV Cau Bong SS, (iii) 220 kV Tra Vinh SS, (iv) 220 kV Uyen Hung SS, and (v) 220 kV Vung Tau SS; construction of new transmission lines that include the 220 kV Binh Long-Tay Ninh Transmission Line (TL) and the 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL; and construction of new substations that include the 500 kV Chon Thanh SS and the 500 kV Duc Hoa SS and Connections. Among these subprojects, seven subprojects, namely the installation of second transformers for the 220 kV Duc Hoa SS, 500 kV Cau Bong SS, 220 kV Tra Vinh SS, 220 kV Uyen Hung SS, 220 kV Vung Tau SS and the construction of 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL and 500 kV Duc Hoa SS are under the management of SPMB whereas the remaining two subprojects are under the management of CPMB.

8. It is noted that the Extension of 220kV Vung Tau SS does not involve land acquisition impacts. Social safeguard documents were prepared for Construction of 220kV Vung Tau SS-associated facility; therefore, impacts on land acquisition of 220kV Vung Tau SS will not be included in Table on Scope of impacts of Tranche 3. Results on Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and RP implementation of Vung Tau SS will be presented in corresponding sections of this report;

9. As presented in the table above, in 2015, during the project preparation phase, 4 resettlement plans and 1 due diligence report were prepared for three subprojects involved land acquisition under SPMB management. In addition, 4 DDRs were also prepared for the subprojects involved the installation of second transformer within the existing boundary of the substations.

2 Resettlement Ethnic Minority Development Plans (REMDPs) are required for the 220 kV Binh Long-Tay Ninh TL subproject under CPMB’s management whereas no REMP is required for the subprojects under SPMB’s management.

8

10. During the implementation phase, based on the detailed design and detailed measurement survey (DMS) progress as well as compensation payment progress, the RPs will be updated by province or district and project as shown in the table above. Particularly for the 220 kV Vung Tau SS, due to the compensation payment which is already conducted and emergence of 28 additional affected households for the connection line, a resettlement plan addendum is therefore required for this subproject.

11. As of December 2017, the uRPs for the TL segment in Duc Hoa District in Long An Province under the 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL and Duc Hoa Substation Component under the 500 kV Duc Hoa SS and connection lines have not been prepared as the DMS has just been finished internal checking of land origins and compensation plan preparation are being conducted.

12. Internal monitoring of the subproject implementation under Tranche 3 is undertaken by SPMB with the support of Loan Implementation Consultant (LIC). The general objectives for internal monitoring are to ensure:

(i) The implementation of land acquisition and resettlement of project is in compliance with the approved Resettlement Plans, and the other safeguard documents

(ii) The availability of resources and the efficient, effective use of these resources to implement land acquisition and resettlement activities;

(iii) That resettlement institutions are well-functioning during the course of project implementation;

(iv) Resettlement activities are undertaken in accordance with the implementation schedule described in the RPs and the others safeguard documents;

(v) Identification of problems, if any, and proposal of remedial actions and solutions.

13. The internal monitoring report is submitted to NPT and ADB for review and concurrence on a quarterly and semi-annual basis. This quarterly report is prepared to cover the internal monitoring activities over the period of fourth quarter of 2017, from October to December 2017, concerning the subprojects of which the land acquisition, compensation, assistance, and resettlement activities are ongoing.

Vung Tau 220kV substation: the subproject affects 107 households (including 79 households at the substation location and 28 households by the 110kV connection line component) and acquires 36,485.8 m2. The 220 kV Vung Tau SS requires the relocation of 15 households who have already moved to the resettlement site in Ward 10 of Vung Tau City since 2016.

18. Four subprojects which install second transformers do not cause land acquisition impacts as well as economic impacts to any household or organization;

C. Detailed Resettlement Implementation Progress

1. Public information disclosure and consultation

19. Project information disclosure is an important task during project implementation. When this work is implemented effectively, it will facilitate project implementation process as local people will have comprehensive understanding of project information and benefits. Therefore, they will support and actively participate in the project. Project information disclosure and public consultation are aimed to: (i) increase local people’s awareness of the project; (ii) avoid the risks of project delay; (iii) design an appropriate resettlement program for APs and maximize the project’s socio-economic benefits; (iv) ensure that AP’s can really participate in making decisions on issues directly concerning their income and living standards; and (v) ensure transparency of all activities related to land acquisition, resettlement, and living restoration.

20. Public consultations have been conducted during the preparation process for all subprojects by the Project Preparation Consultant in 2015. In the implementation phase, before implementation of DMS, the DMS plan has been discussed and agreed between SPMB, District Compensation, Assistance, and Resettlement Boards (DCARBs), Commune People’s Committees (CPCs), village chiefs, representatives of local organizations and affected households and then disclosed on audio media. Women are encouraged to participate in all activities of DMS such as inventory on affected land and assets, participating in meetings to disseminate information to complete and announce the results, concerns over inventory.

21. DCARB and SPMB coordinate with the CPC have held meetings with village chiefs, representatives of mass organizations and all those affected to provide inventory form for the affected people to fill in themselves. The content of the inventory form has been explained and clarified for households to easily complete. During the DMS in 2017, also involved the participation of the party as the head of household, women, heads of villages and cadastral officials, representatives of the CPC and others. DMS outcome of each household is listed in public places (office of People Committee, the Cultural house of Village) within 07 days for households to crosscheck and edit errors.

22. Information disclosure. RPs and DDRs in English have been posted on the ADB website and the summary documents in Vietnamese have been disclosed to the affected households in 2015 for the subprojects.

25. Regarding 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL, DMS has been completed for 3 districts in Long An Province whereas the DMS activities for 1 district in Long An and 2 districts in Tien Giang Province are ongoing. It is noted that the DMS activities in Tien Giang Province have been finished for the affected households subject to permanent land acquisition at the tower foundations while the DMS for the remaining households affected by restrictions on land use within the ROW has not been implemented.

26. Regarding 500 kV Duc Hoa SS and connection lines subproject, the DMS activities have been completed for the substation component in Duc Hoa District in June 2017 while the DMS for the connection lines component in Duc Hoa and Ben Luc districts are ongoing. The DMS for the connection lines components is anticipated to be completed in December 2018.

27. 5 subprojects, namely the installation of second transformers for the 220 kV Duc Hoa SS, 500 kV Cau Bong SS, 220 kV Tra Vinh SS, 220 kV Uyen Hung SS, and 220 kV Vung Tau SS do not cause impacts on land, impacts on trees and crops to any household and organization;

28. As for the 220 kV Vung Tau SS, DMS had been completed for all of the AHs in November 2015. For the 110kV connection line, there are 28 AHs, and the DMS was completed for 20 AHs but 8 AHs do not identify and SPMB posted an announcement on the Ba Ria – Vung Tau newspaper to find the owners of the affected lands (date 12, 14 and 15 August 2017) and until December 2017, no one has contacted SPMB or Vung Tau LFDC for DMS.

3. Preparation and approval of compensation plans

29. Corresponding to the DMS progress as described above, the compensation plans for the affected households has not yet been carried out;

30. Compensation plans for households affected by Vung Tau SS had been prepared, completed and approved from 2014 to the end of 2016;

31. For the connection line, the replacement cost was approved by People’s Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province (Decision No.1549/QD-UBND dated June 09, 2017). CARB of Vung Tau City prepared the draft compensation plan with a provisional amount of 3,104,594,251 VN to disclose in August and submit for approval in September, 2017.

4. Process of compensation payment

32. For 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL subproject, during this reporting period, as of December 2017, no compensation activity was undertaken. However, 79 AHs received advance payment by the contractor so the construction units got their permissions to conduct advanced construction of 73 tower foundations, in Tan Phuoc (4 towers), Chau Thanh (5 towers) districts (Tien Giang province) and Thu Thua (27 towers), Thanh Hoa (7 towers), Duc Hoa (10 towers) and Ben Luc (20 towers) district in Long An; the total of advance is VND 20,036,173,500 (Please see Annex 2 for summary of compensation payment).

33. The advance payment procedures are as follows:

- The contractor has coordinated with the local authorities to meet with the affected households and disseminate to the household the reason for construction prior to compensation, negotiate on advanced payment for land and assets recovered by foundations. Negotiation on advanced payment is based on acquired land area, affected assets, provincial compensation rates and AH’s opinions;

- Once the agreement of the household has been reached, the contractor shall make a minute of advance payment and pay to the household. In the advance payment minute, the contractor also stated that this was only the advance; compensation payment will be made when the official compensation plan is approved in accordance with the PTIP policies.

- The 79 households commit to repay the advanced amount when receiving fully compensation according to the project policies.

14

- The construction of tower foundations is only carried out after the advance payment is completed to the affected households.

34. As of the monitoring period, such activities have been stopped.

6. Income Restoration Program

39. The project is classified category A for Involuntary Resettlement and C for Indigenous People because there is no ethnic minority present in the project area of all subprojects under SPMB management. Severely affected households including those losing 10% and above of their productive landholdings and relocating households as well as vulnerable households are entitled to participate in the Income Restoration Program (IRP) of the Project. The IRP will be prepared during the RP updating. The finalization and progress of the IRP will be included in the next monitoring report.

D. Operation of Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)

40. A grievance mechanism has been set up to help ensure that the complaints of AHs are resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. Through the holding of consultations during RP preparation and implementation, including the distribution of PIBs, the AHs have been and will be made fully aware of their rights to file a complaint, as needed. The resolution of a complaint will pass through 3 stages, beginning with the commune, then the district, then the provincial level of the People’s Committee before it is elevated to a court of law as a last resort. The NPT will shoulder all administrative costs and legal fees incurred in the resolution of grievances.

41. As of the monitoring period, there is no complaint recorded from the affected households.

E. Institutional Matters and Capacity Training

42. In order to ensure the compliance of the project with regard to the implementation of safeguard policies of ADB, since the beginning time of project preparation stage, the SPMB has assigned an officer who take responsible for social safeguard policy issues, including social and land acquisition and environment with support of the Loan Implementation Consultant. In addition, for each subproject, SPMB has assigned additional staff to be responsible for land acquisition activities on site. However, due to the termination of the individual consultant contract (LIC), SPMB has encountered certain difficulties in monitoring activities as well as preparation of the internal monitoring reports. SPMB is in the process of recruiting a replacement of the LIC Consultant and it is expected that the new contract will be signed in July 2018.

2. Recommendations and Time-Bound Actions

45. The termination of the LIC Consultant has affected the preparation of updated social safeguards documents as well as the implementation of internal monitoring activities. It is recommended that SPMB to accelerate the recruitment process to have a new consultant on board in July 2018.

46. DMS activities and compensation plans are available in the project districts in Long An Province under the 500 kV My Tho-Duc Hoa TL, the preparation of the uRPs for these districts should be carried out to ensure full compliance with process and procedure of the project on implementation of compensation, assistance, and resettlement. SPMB needs to cooperate closely with the DCARBs and CPCs to ensure that compensation procedures are in compliance with the regulations of the project policies.

47. As for the 220 kV Vung Tau Subproject, the compensation payment has been completed for 17 out of 28 AHs under the connection line component. The remaining 3 AHs are not yet provided with compensation due to several transactional activities, leading to the issue that the right land owners eligible to the compensation payment have not been identified. SPMB in close coordination with Vung Tau Land Fund Development Center and the local ward authorities should accelerate the identification of land owners via public announcement for identified 8 AHs who are affected by the 110 kV Vung Tau connection line, which is identified as a part of the phase-1 220 kV Vung Tau SS. Therefore, RP addendum will be prepared covering all of these 28 households, as they have to be compensated in line with project resettlement policy.
