Study Notes
Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement
- ESS5 recognizes project-related land acquisition and land use restrictions can negatively impact communities and individuals.
- Involuntary resettlement occurs when affected people or communities lack the right to refuse land acquisition/restrictions resulting in displacement.
- Physical displacement (relocation, shelter loss) and economic displacement (loss of income, assets) can result from these restrictions.
- Involuntary resettlement is undesirable and should be minimized. Appropriate measures to mitigate negative impacts should be implemented.
- Objectives include avoiding involuntary resettlement, minimizing it when unavoidable through alternative project designs, avoiding forced eviction, and mitigating adverse impacts (providing compensation).
- Compensation should ideally cover the replacement cost of assets. Assistance for improving livelihood standards to pre-displacement levels or to the levels prior to project implementation is also crucial.
- Resettlement is considered a sustainable development program with sufficient investment for displaced people to benefit from the project.
- Applicability of ESS5 is determined during initial environmental and social assessments (ESS1).
- This ESS applies to permanent or temporary displacement due to land acquisition/restrictions.
- ESS5 does not apply to voluntary transactions where sellers retain the right to refuse and are fully informed.
- ESS5 does not apply to impacts on income/livelihoods unrelated to acquisition/restrictions, disputes between private parties regarding land titling, or land use planning/natural resource management for sustainability at a regional, national, or subnational level.
- ESS5 does apply to cases of land acquisition/restrictions where persons are forced to vacate due to project decisions regarding land status (e.g., if project supports a determination that land is state land) and to land claims relinquished without full compensation.
- Land acquisition includes outright purchase, expropriation, and acquisition of access rights (easements, rights-of-way). It may include unoccupied/unutilized land, repossession of public land, and project impacts that render land inaccessible or unusable.
- Restrictions on land use pertain to limitations or prohibitions on land use (agricultural, residential, commercial) directly introduced as part of a project. This includes restrictions on access to legally designated areas (parks, protected areas), common property resources, and within utility easements or safety zones.
- ESS5 also applies to land rights or claims relinquished without full compensation; and land acquired/restrictions put into place before the project, but in anticipation of it.
Project Design
- The Borrower must demonstrate that land acquisition/restrictions are limited to the project's needs and timeframe.
- Feasible alternative project designs to minimize displacement should also be explored. Project modifications must consider potential environmental, social, and financial impacts; particularly, impacts on the poor and vulnerable.
- Involuntary land acquisition/use restrictions must be limited to direct project requirements within a specified period. Time sensitivity must be considered, and the timeframe must be clearly stated.
Compensation for Affected Persons
- Affected persons should receive compensation at replacement cost, and additional assistance, if needed, to restore livelihoods and living standards to pre-project levels or prior conditions, whichever is higher.
- Compensation standards for land and fixed assets should be disclosed and consistently applied.
- Compensation rates may be adjusted upward based on negotiation strategies.
- A clear basis for compensation calculation should be documented and transparently executed.
- Compensation is distributed according to transparent procedures.
- Replacement cost considers market value (when available) plus transaction costs. If no functioning market exists, an alternative method to calculate replacement cost is needed. This includes output value for land/assets, undepreciated value of replacement materials/construction, and all transaction costs. Especially replacement costs must cover housing that meets acceptable safety/community standards.Â
- Consider alternatives to direct cash compensation, like land, resources, or infrastructure. Compensation in-kind is to be considered where appropriate.
- For affected business owners, compensation covers relocation costs, lost income during transitions, machinery relocation, re-establishing businesses, and assisting employees with loss of wages.
- In cases of absentee owners or competing claims, a special plan, with Bank agreement, to deposit compensation in an escrow account, allowing for timely releases as needed to meet reasonable timeframes, and contingencies. This may be a last resort when all other efforts have failed.
Community Engagement
- Affected communities, including host communities, must be actively engaged using the stakeholder engagement process.
- Decision-making related to resettlement and livelihood restoration should include diverse options for consideration. Options to avoid forced resettlement must be explored. Options must be presented based on a fair and transparent process that considers the needs of all parties.
- Women's perspectives and needs are to be included in the planning and implementation process, and any special considerations for women's livelihoods.
- Consultations must include displaced Indigenous Peoples and all affected people/groups.
Grievance Mechanisms
- Clear grievance mechanisms for specific grievances (related to compensation, relocation, and livelihood restoration) should be in place for project-affected persons as early as possible in project design.
- Grievance resolution mechanisms should utilize or complement existing formal or informal processes, and be further supplemented by project-specific measures.
- The grievance mechanisms will be communicated and accessible to all parties.
- Grievance resolution timescales will be clearly outlined and readily available to all affected individuals.Â
Displacement
- Physical: Plans for physical displacement must include at least the appropriate ESS standards regarding compensation, regardless of the number of people affected. These plans aim to lessen negative displacement effects and identify any developmental opportunities. Consider alternative locations and relocation methods. Provide assistance for transition. Costs associated are included in the total project costs. Negotiable alternatives to displacement should be considered.
- Economic: Affected persons, including those with legal/recognized claims for land, should be supported in restoring or improving economic situations. Compensation should cover the replacement value of lost assets and livelihoods, including those gained from customary/informal/alternate/secondary rights. Â
- The Borrower is not responsible for people who encroach upon a project area after valid eligibility criteria deadlines.
- A distinction is made as to how to handle cases of physical and economic displacement, with specific measures for each.
- Relocated families may experience livelihood changes if moving.
- Relocated families may have competing claims to assets/land. Resettlement plans address, mitigate, and provide resources to address any potential impacts, which includes conflicts with host communities.
Collaboration and Other Agencies
- Collaborations between project implementing agencies and relevant government agencies, subnational jurisdictions and others are necessary and appropriate. Collaboration must be clearly defined including roles and responsibilities of each party.
- The plan will specify roles/responsibilities of all parties involved in resettlement efforts, including timelines and clear action steps.
- Arrangements should be made for financial support for unforeseen costs and contingencies.
- If the procedures or standards of other agencies are insufficient, the Borrower should develop/implement supplemental plans to address any shortfalls, potentially involving financial support/assistance and coordination.
- Plans must be flexible and address potential issues proactively, including potential legal conflicts.
Technical and Financial Assistance
- The Bank may provide technical support to enhance institutional capacities for resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring across the project.
- Individual resettlement projects can be separate or integrated with the main project, with clear definitions of each method and rationale behind the proposed structure.
- Consider the possibility of procuring entire land parcels (even if it renders remaining land unusable/economically unviable) when necessary to protect the interests of the main project and all affected persons.
- Ensure consideration for the needs of all affected persons during project planning and implementation, as well as potential long-term impacts. A comprehensive risk assessment is required before any action is undertaken. These will be reviewed by external advisors and Bank staff.
