Study Notes

Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement

ESS5 recognizes project-related land acquisition and restrictions on land use can negatively impact communities and individuals.
Involuntary resettlement occurs when affected persons or communities lack the right to refuse land acquisition or restrictions leading to displacement.
Physical displacement (relocation, loss of housing) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, income) are potential consequences.
Project-related impacts may destroy production systems, increase poverty, disrupt community structures, and displace people to areas with less job opportunities and resource competition.
To mitigate these impacts, resettlement should be avoided where possible, or minimized and carefully planned.
Objectives of the study include avoiding involuntary resettlement, minimizing it when inevitable by exploring alternatives, avoiding forced eviction, and mitigating adverse social and economic impacts with compensation and support for affected individuals.
Compensation should be based on replacement cost, considering transaction costs, including administrative charges, registration or title fees, reasonable moving expenses, and similar costs.
Resettlement should be considered a sustainable development program.
ESS5 applies to permanent or temporary physical and economic displacement due to land acquisition or use restrictions.
These restrictions can include expropriation, negotiated settlements, restrictions on land use and access to natural resources leading to loss of traditional resource usage, relocation of people already occupying the land, and land being rendered unusable, includes land relinquished without full compensation, or land acquisition in anticipation of the project, or cases where land or resources are relinquished without full payment of compensation.
ESS5 does not apply to impacts on incomes or livelihoods not directly caused by land acquisition or restrictions, voluntary market transactions where the seller is informed and has the option to refuse, or land-use planning and natural resource regulation for broader sustainability at regional, national or subnational level, management of refugees, or internal displacement due to natural disasters, conflicts, or violence, or land use disputes between private parties.
Affected persons can be classified as having formal or informal legal rights to the land, or having no recognizable legal claim to the land.
Project design should be limited to direct project needs within a clarified timeframe, consider alternative designs to avoid displacement, balance social, environmental, and financial impact, and address impacts on vulnerable groups.
Compensation will be offered at replacement cost, along with other appropriate assistance, which may be in-kind, not just cash.
Compensation standards for fixed assets and land must be consistent. Compensation rates may need adjustment, particularly in areas with high inflation or significant time between calculation and compensation.
In instances of collectively owned land, consideration will be given to land-based livelihood replacement.
Land acquisition and related assets will be acquired only after compensation is made available, including all compensation and moving costs.
Involvement of affected communities will be through consultation, options, and meaningful participation, considering women's perspectives.
A grievance mechanism exists for addressing concerns on compensation, resettlement, or livelihood restoration, including formal and informal structures.
For projects with minor land acquisition or use restrictions with minimal impacts, plans will set eligibility criteria, compensation procedures, consultations, and grievance mechanisms.
For projects causing displacement, additional relocation measures will be outlined, specifying all the additional needs.
For projects with significant economic displacement, plans will include measures to restore or improve livelihoods, including advising employees on temporary wage loss or finding alternative employment, and providing opportunities for income generation, including identifying alternative locations, credit, skills training, business assistance, etc.
Where restricting access to resources (including those in natural protected areas) is involved, a participatory process will help determine appropriate restrictions and mitigate adverse impacts.
The Borrower will be responsible for financing, contingency measures, and response to unforeseen delays to ensure effective implementation of these measures.
Project costs should include resettlement costs, and net benefits from resettlement will be added to the project benefits, ensuring overall benefit to all stakeholders.
Monitoring and evaluation of the resettlement plan is essential, with corrective actions being taken as necessary, ensuring the process is effective, and consistent engagement with all affected parties.
The Borrower will ensure that a grievance mechanism for the project is established.
This mechanism will include consideration of existing grievance mechanisms and additional project specific arrangements, in an impartial manner to resolve disputes.
The resettlement plan will cover the project details, identifying potential impacts and risks.

Scope of Application

The applicability of ESS5 is determined during environmental and social assessment.

Project Design

Involuntary land acquisition or use restrictions should be limited to specified project needs within a specified time period.
Alternative designs are encouraged to avoid or minimize displacement, balancing social, environmental, and financial impacts on all impacted parties.

Community Engagement

Affected communities should be engaged throughout the process, to consider relevant options, and meaningful participation, including host communities.

Grievance Mechanism

The need for a grievance mechanism for project-related concerns (compensation, relocation, livelihood restoration) and any existing methods that are suitable for the project will be established, ensuring a clear and accessible process.

Planning and Implementation

Conducting a detailed census to identify affected persons and their assets, establishing inventories, determining eligibility, and discouraging ineligible persons, with a defined cutoff date.
A plan will be developed, proportional to the risk and impact for all projects causing any level of physical or economic displacement, detailing measures to mitigate these consequences, including activities affecting livelihoods, income generation, and access to local resources.

Financial and Technical Assistance

Borrower can seek technical assistance from the bank to build their capacity for resettlement and address the relevant needs, including staff training, policy formulation, and financing assessments.
Resettlement projects can be financed, separate or in conjunction with the main investment, including in some instances an independent resettlement project.

Displacement (Physical)

Plans for physical displacement will be developed, regardless of the number affected, mitigating any negative impact and identifying development opportunities.
Resettlement options will include replacement housing, or cash compensation, prioritizing equal or better quality of living compared to the previous conditions, considering the individuals' needs and preferences where appropriate.
New resettlement sites must offer equivalent or better living conditions to the previous living conditions, provide access to facilities, services, and communities where possible, considering access to essential services and resources.
Continued access to facilities in host communities and the rights of displaced communities will be considered, including access to the same status as the host community if possible.

Displacement (Economic)

Measures to restore or improve incomes or livelihoods, including compensation for lost income and businesses, and alternative livelihood options, and assistance for re-establishing these livelihoods.
Compensation will be provided for loss of assets and income in compliance with replacement-cost parameters, clearly defining and documenting the calculation methods.
Individuals will be provided with, or alternatives for, the income-earning opportunities, production levels, and standards of living they previously maintained. Alternative locations, credit, skills training, business assistance, etc will be considered as necessary measures.
Measures will be developed to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these livelihood measures, noting and addressing any gaps and evaluating impact over time.
