Study Notes
Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement
- ESS5 acknowledges project-related land acquisition and use restrictions negatively impact communities and individuals.
- Involuntary resettlement results from physical displacement (relocation, loss of homes), economic displacement (loss of assets, income), or both.
- Resettlement is considered involuntary when affected people lack the right to refuse land acquisition or restrictions leading to displacement.
- Physical and economic displacement, if unaddressed, creates severe economic, social, and environmental risks, impacting production systems, livelihoods, community structures, and cultural identity.
- Involuntary resettlement should be avoided; if unavoidable, it's to be minimized with careful mitigation measures to minimize adverse impacts on displaced persons and host communities.
Objectives
- Avoid involuntary resettlement, or when unavoidable, minimize it by exploring project design alternatives.
- Prevent forced evictions.
- Mitigate unavoidable social and economic impacts from land acquisition or use restrictions through timely compensation for lost assets and assistance to improve displaced communities' livelihoods.
Scope of Application
- ESS5 applies to permanent or temporary physical and economic displacement resulting from project-related land acquisition or restrictions.
- Includes expropriation or negotiated settlements, or restrictions on land use/access to natural resources.
- Excludes impacts on incomes or livelihoods not directly tied to project land acquisition, disputes between private parties, land use planning, refugee, or internally displaced persons situations.
- Includes voluntary, legally documented market transactions where sellers retain rights and full information.
Project Design
- Projects are to limit land acquisition and use restrictions to clearly defined project needs and a specified timeframe.
- Projects should consider feasible alternatives and balance environmental, social, and financial factors.
Compensation and Benefits
- Affected people are to receive compensation at replacement cost, along with support for their recovery.
- Standards for compensation will be consistent and transparent.
- Where land-based livelihoods are impacted, alternative land or appropriate compensation may be offered.
- Compensation is subject to the provisions of paragraph 26-36 of ESS5.
Community Engagement
- Engage impacted and host communities through participatory processes in line with ESS10.
- Decision-making about resettlement and livelihood projects incorporates multiple options and community participation considerations.
- Consult with displaced Indigenous Peoples according to ESS7 guidelines.
- Women's perspectives and interests are to be factored into resettlement planning and implementation.
Grievance Mechanisms
- Projects must include a grievance mechanism tailored to the specific project's concerns regarding resettlement, compensation, and livelihood restoration.
- This should leverage existing mechanisms or implement new ones to promptly resolve disputes.
Planning and Implementation
- Conduct a census to identify people affected by the project, inventory assets, and define eligibility.
- Determine a cutoff date to avoid claims from newcomers.
- Prepare a proportionate resettlement plan that covers specific considerations depending on project-related impacts (e.g., physical vs. economic displacement, resource access).
Displacement
- A plan encompassing relocation, housing, asset compensation, or alternative livelihoods is needed for physical displacement.
- Resettlement sites provide equivalent or better living conditions than before displacement.
- Compensation and assistance are based on individual scenarios and needs.
Economic Displacement
- Compensation for lost income and assets is provided for those experiencing economic displacement.
- Compensation accounts for transition and re-establishing income sources.
- Compensations and measures to address loss of livelihoods are to be equitable.
Collaboration
- Establish collaboration between project implementers, government agencies, and other stakeholders.
- Involve other responsible agencies when their capacity is insufficient.
