Study Notes
Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement
- ESS5 acknowledges project-related land acquisition and land use restrictions can harm communities and individuals.
- Involuntary resettlement occurs when people are displaced due to land acquisition or restrictions. This includes physical displacement (loss of homes, relocation), economic displacement (loss of income sources), and combined effects.
- Resettlement is considered involuntary if affected individuals or communities don't have the right to refuse land acquisition or restrictions.
- Physical and economic displacement, if unmitigated, poses significant economic, social and environmental risks; disrupting production systems, increasing poverty, damaging community networks and cultural identity.
- Involuntary resettlement should be avoided whenever possible. Mitigating adverse impacts on displaced people and host communities is crucial.
- Objectives include avoiding resettlement, minimizing it where unavoidable, avoiding forced evictions, and mitigating social and economic impacts through compensation for lost assets and assisting individuals in improving livelihoods.
- Avoidance is prioritized under ESS1's mitigation hierarchy. Exceptional situations may exist where public health or safety might be at risk.
- The Borrower must demonstrate involuntary land acquisition is limited to project needs within a specific timeframe.
- Feasible alternatives should be sought to avoid or minimize such impacts.
- Compensation should be provided at replacement cost, along with other assistance to improve/restore pre-project living standards.
- Compensation standards for land and assets should be consistently applied.
- Resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs.
- The information disclosure, meaningful consultation and participation of affected communities are paramount.
- This ESS applies to permanent or temporary displacement arising from land acquisition or restrictions; including those undertaken during project preparation, expropriation or compulsory procedures or negotiated settlements.
- It does not apply to voluntary transactions where sellers have legitimate opportunity to refuse the deed, or livelihoods and income issues not directly caused by the project.
- Cases involving refugees or internally displaced populations from conflict or disasters are excluded. Legal disputes between private parties are also excluded.
- Project design will demonstrate that involuntary land acquisition is limited to specific project reasons, within a set time frame, and with consideration for feasible alternatives.
- Compensation funds may be held in escrow in certain circumstances (e.g. dealing with absentee property owners with complicating ownership issues, or when project timelines are impacted).
- Resettlement plans should identify impacts, minimize displacement and offer relocation assistance, or cash compensation.
- Consultation with affected communities and consideration of women's concerns are essential.
- Vulnerable groups and communities must be prioritized.
- The plan should include actions to support affected communities/persons during the transitional phase, and will cover the additional measures for relocation, livelihoods, and resources.
- The document emphasizes that people are considered affected if they lose land or assets, including agricultural, commercial or residential land, rights, water bodies, or businesses (including shops, restaurants, services, manufacturing facilities).
- Compensation might include the cost of finding alternative locations, lost income during transition, and re-establishing businesses to pre-project levels.
Scope of Application
- Applicability of ESS5 is established during the environmental and social assessment (ESS1).
- ESS5 applies to permanent or temporary displacement due to land acquisition or restrictions.
- The following are included:
- Land rights or land use rights acquired/restricted through expropriation or other compulsory proceedings.
- Land rights or land use rights acquired/restricted via negotiated settlements with property owners.
- Restrictions on land use and access to natural resources causing communities to lose customary use (e.g., protected areas).
- Relocation of people without usage rights occupying land before a project's cut-off date.
- Displacement due to project impacts rendering land unusable.
- Restrictions on access to natural resources or communal properties.
- Land acquired or restrictions on land use that occurred before the project but were intended as project preparation.
- Land rights or claims relinquished voluntarily without full compensation.
- The document excludes disputes between private parties, and populations displaced due to conflict, natural disasters. Relocation of people with no recognisable usage rights is also included.
- It also does not apply to land use planning or natural resource management on regional, national, or subnational levels.
Requirements and Eligibility
- Affected individuals may be classified based on formal legal rights to land/assets, claims that are recognised under national law, or no recognizable right.
- The census, described in paragraph 20, will determine the status of affected persons.
- Land use planning and natural resource regulation—on a regional, national, or subnational scale—are outside the scope of this ESS; as are management of refugees and internally displaced peoples.
- The documentation states that voluntary transactions between communities, government, or investors involving substantial land areas, require particular care to ensure fair value, appropriate conditions, and mechanisms for monitoring compliance.
- The Borrower will not resort to forced evictions.
- The document clearly describes a framework and process for dealing with involuntary resettlement.
- Projects may use alternative nomenclature—for example, livelihood plans or process frameworks.
