III. DUE DILEGIENT ACTIVITIES

12. The REMDP for the project in Gia Lai province have been developed and

approved by ADB in November 01, 2012. There is a DDR has been

prepared by CMPB for the project at the same time due to land acquisition

had been done before the REMDP approved. So far, the implementation of

REMDP and DDR has still been incomplete though the construction has

ended to put the project into the operation phase from 5/2015.

11

13. There are some existing issues which now are largely focused on the

impact under the project corridor with the changes in the regulations on

land acquisition and compensation by the Government of Vietnam.

Therefore, an updating DDR is required to develop in order to ensure the

operational implementation of REMDP matching the requirements of the

SPS 2009 and policies in REMDP which are approved by ADB for the

implementation.

IV. POLICY OF THE PROJECT ON LARP/REMDP

14. The Power Transmission Investment Program has 20 common policy

requirements, stated as NPT’s policy commitments, which were written in

the REMDP documents. They were reconciled from the relevant

legislations of the Government of Vietnam (GoV) and the policy

requirements of ADB and reflected in this report as among the bases in

assessing the CPPMB’s compliance on land acquisition. While the policies

were prescribed for the updating of REMDPs, they are also applied in the

PPTA. They cover the activities in planning and implementation as well as

the management of the social safeguard documents, such as follows:

1. Policy Prior to DMS and Updating of REMDPs

(i) No land acquisition or site clearing will be done for the ROWs and towers

ahead of Project implementation. Land acquisition or clearing of the

ROWs will only be undertaken upon completion of payment for

compensation based on updated REMDP duly approved by ADB drawn

from detailed design of the Project.

(ii) Permanent or temporary acquisition and/or clearing of lands that will result

to physical and/or economic displacements of persons or households will

be avoided or minimized, as much as possible, by identifying feasible

alternatives in Project engineering design, alignment of ROWs, access

roads, and work stations.

12

(iii) Joint participatory consultations and meetings with Project-based

stakeholders, displaced persons (DPs also known as APs) and community

organizations will be carried out prior to detailed measurement survey

(DMS), during the updating and implementation of the REMDP. Women,

disabled, the elderly and ethnic minorities will be invited to participate in

the consultations and meetings. The comments and suggestions of the DPs

will be recorded and taken into account for consideration in the updating or

implementation of the REMDP, where legally acceptable and ethically

relevant.

(iv) DPs will be systematically informed and consulted about the Project, the

rights and options available to them, the proposed mitigating measures,

special assistance measures to vulnerable groups and the need for the

preparation of REMDP. The REMDP will be disclosed in a language

according to the ethnicity of the DPs and involve them in decision-making

process concerning their resettlement.

(v) The NPT will conduct due diligence on the ownership of affected assets,

with assistance from representatives of the commune or village

government, and identify 100% of the DPs who are severely and

marginally affected by land restriction and/or land acquisition. Severely

affected DPs are those who stand to lose 10% or more of their economic

and important assets while marginally affected DPs are those who will lose

below 10% of the same.

(vi) Detailed measurement survey will use a survey tool that will enable to

segregate important data on DPs by sex and ethnicity as basis for updating

the compensation and assistance due them.

(vii) The authority that should declare the cut-off date of eligibility of the DPs

who are eligible to receive compensation and assistance will be vested on

the respective district resettlement and compensation committee.

(viii) Replacement cost surveys will be carried out as bases for compensation of

DPs, based on replacement costs, in compliance with the compensation

policy of the GoV and ADB.

2. Policy on REMDP Implementation

13

(i) Compensation on the affected properties of DPs will be based on

replacement cost, without provisions for deduction of the following: (i)

stamp, duties, fees or other payments in case of land; and (ii) depreciation

and salvage value of construction materials in case of houses and other

structures.

(ii) Payment of compensation to DPs will not be differentiated between the

male and the female household heads and between the member of

mainstream society and the ethnic minority.

(iii) DPs residing, working, cultivating land and/or doing business during the

DMS for the update of the REMDP are entitled to be compensated for their

lost assets, incomes and businesses at market prices prevailing at the time

of compensation.

(iv) All DPs whose names are included in the cut-off date established by the

district compensation and resettlement committee are entitled to receive

compensation. DP from the mainstream society who has no title or any

recognizable legal rights to land will be compensated for non-land assets,

at replacement cost.

(v) DP from any of the recognized ethnic minority groups without title to the

affected land but with claim to such land will be compensated based on

replacement value, if it remains viable for use, or replacement land that is

culturally appropriate to their environment or habitats.

(vi) Special assistance measures will be provided to the severely affected DPs

who shall become vulnerable due to the project, with particular attention to

women, children without means of support, disabled, the elderly and

landless as well as ethnic minorities and people with incomes below the

poverty line. Institutional DPs are excluded from receiving such assistance.

(vii) Resettlement of people will be implemented only upon confirmation on the

availability of resettlement site/s that was consulted with DPs and

culturally appropriate for DPs who are ethnic minorities. DPs who decide

to be relocated in the earth grounding zones will be provided with fireproof

materials and lighting arrestors.

3. Management and Administration

(i) Effective institutional arrangements and human resources for consultation,

liaison, land acquisition, resettlement and monitoring will be established to

ensure the efficient implementation of REMDP

14

(ii) Effective mechanism for arbitration of grievance redress will be

established with their members will come from the project-based

stakeholders, DPs, women representatives and ethnic minorities.

(iii) Adequate budgetary support for payment of compensation, assistance, and

resettlement will be committed and released to DPs during REMDP

implementation.

(iv) Reliable and efficient database system will be established for the internal

monitoring of REMDP implementation.

(v) The NPT will hire an external monitoring agent (EMA), in behalf of ADB,

for the bi-annual external monitoring and evaluation of REMDP

implementation. Confirmation by EMA on the satisfactory compliance on

REMDP implementation will pave the way for NPT to request for “No

Objection” from ADB for the award of civil works contract/s.

15. Also, in the province of Gia Lai, the following decisions have been applied

in the REMDP implementation process.

Decision 05A/2011/QĐ-UBND dated on 25/04/2011 promulgating

regulations on compensation, assistance and resettlement as the State

V. FINDINGS

1. Consultation, participation, information disclosure

16. Immediately after receiving the REMDP, CMPB translated the documents

into Vietnamese language and prepared a summary REMDP. In May 2012

and June 2012, PECC4 had worked with CMPB officials to conduct

information disclosure in the project. The safety data sheets of summary

REMDP were distributed down widely to the villages/communes affected

by the project and asked publicly listed in CPC’s office.

17. The community meetings were also implemented and performed by

DCARBs on all the villages affected by the project, with the participation

of the staff of the CMPB Compensation. However, the monitoring result is

shown that there is still 20% of people do not understand the information

of the project due to language barriers, or they were absent from the

meetings or they did not attend the consultation meetings at their reasons.

Also, the monitoring found that there is weak capacity of DCARBs staff

force officials to disseminate information about the project.

2. Detail measurement surveys

18. The detail measurement surveys were carried out after the DPC issued the

notice of the cut-off date. The detail measurement surveys were conducted

by the participation of the heads of affected households, commune land

officers in the affected communes and village heads in the affected

villages.

19. The process of DMS was properly done as the results of detail

measurement surveys were recorded in the working minutes of the

counting and representatives of affected households kept a copy.

3. Entitlements

17

20. The unit prices of compensation for lands acquisition, for trees and for all

crops are all applied from the bases of the separate Decisions issued by Gia

Lai PPC for unit prices in the case of land acquisition, compensation for

trees and for all crops in Gia Lai province.

21. Unit prices for compensation and assistance are all based on the Provisions

of the National Government, and Decisions issued by the PPCs. Thus, the

compensation rates and assistant level for all types of lands and trees and

crops and infrastructures have been implemented based on the guidance

and support from third parties to conduct the information investigation on

the replacement cost at the time of the application for compensation and

assistance prices.

22. In the process of detailed measurement survey, the compensation officers

of CMPB working in a collaboration with members of the District Board

of Compensation and Land Clearance to consider and examine the

application of the unit prices which are most beneficial to the affected

HHs. The confusion in the application of unit prices (Krong no - Dak Lak

province) were detected and CMPB officials required the District Board of

Compensation and Land Clearance to re-apply correctly the principles of

compensation and assistance stipulated in Decree 69/2009/ND-CP and

Decision of the PPC (assisted more than 2 times of the unit prices of

agricultural lands for households whose agricultural land affected). As that

the Krong No District Board of Compensation and Land Clearance

implemented the additional compensation and assistance for these affected

HHs.

4. Compensation payment

23. CMPB has collaborated with the District Board of Compensation and Land

Clearance to implement the compensation payment and assistance to all

affected households in the Gia Lai province. CMPB paid all compensations

to the affected HHs of lands and trees and crops and infrastructures with

the CPCs’ witness and confirmed by the certification of the compensation

payments were held at the headquarters of the CPCs. Some cases of special

reasons, the affected HHs could not come CPCs’ offices or wards’ offices

to receive the compensation payment the CMPB and the same commune

officials travelled to the affected HHs to pay and the CPCs’ representatives

confirmed the amount of all compensations and assistance which the

affected HHs have received.

26. The information of solving complaint and grievance mechanism have been

fully implemented through community meetings and information

disclosure was done directly from CMPB. Although there is no complaint

so far, however, there are a total of 53 grievances at commune level. The

grievances are often sent directly to the DPC, and then the DPCs often

send via to CPC. In addition, the monitoring officers noted that there are

many grievances during the construction stage, these grievances were sent

to the CPCs, but CPCs did not record them properly. Besides the

monitoring mission has detected some grievance cases have been

unresolved in Ia Grai district and Chu Pah district (see Annex 1).

27. The independent monitoring was mobilized in 2013 and they conducted 03

missions in total 04 monitoring missions.

28. The recruitment of individual consultants of the project was later than it

planned. The individual consultant was mobilized in September 2014, so in

the process of implementing REMDP (from 1/2012 - 8/2014), internal

monitoring was carried out by CMPB. CMPB has sent 02 staff in charge of

the operation of compensation, support and resettlement in the province of

Gia Lai. The officers regularly collected data and sent to CMPB. However,

the collected data is poor quality so far.

VI. GAPs AND RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

1. GAPs
