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
  • Land acquisition encompasses various methods like outright purchase, expropriation, or acquiring access rights, including unoccupied or unutilized land, repossession of public land and impacts rendering land unusable or inaccessible
  • Restrictions on land use involve limitations or prohibitions on land use for projects, including restrictions on access to legally designated parks, protected areas, common property resources, or utility easements
  • Involuntary resettlement refers to the negative impacts of project-related land acquisition or restrictions, including physical and economic displacement
  • Physical displacement can involve relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter, including loss of livelihood
  • Economic displacement includes loss of land, assets, income sources, or livelihood means, affecting production systems, impoverishment caused by lost resources, relocation to less applicable environments with greater competition for resources; weakened community institutions and social networks; kin group dispersal; and the loss of cultural identity, traditional authority, and potential for mutual help.
  • Involuntary resettlement means affected communities or individuals don't have the right to refuse land acquisition or restrictions.
  • Physical and economic displacement can lead to severe economic, social, and environmental risks
  • Avoiding or minimizing involuntary resettlement is crucial.
  • Objectives include avoiding involuntary resettlement, minimizing it with alternative approaches, avoiding forced eviction, and mitigating impacts through compensation and support for displaced individuals
  • Replacement cost compensation is a crucial part of mitigating these impacts, including transaction costs such as fees, reasonable moving expenses, and other associated costs when appropriate.
  • Security of tenure for resettled people is crucial for long-term success.
  • ESS5 applies to permanent or temporary displacement due to various factors including expropriation, negotiated settlements, restrictions on land access, relocation due to project impacts, and restrictions on natural resource use.
  • ESS5 doesn't apply to impacts on income or livelihoods not directly caused by land acquisition or restrictions.
  • ESS5 doesn't apply to voluntary land transactions where sellers have choices and are fully informed, particularly where there are fair prices and appropriate conditions for transfer.
  • ESS5 doesn't apply to land use planning or natural resource regulation as long as it's not for project needs, unless these are related to a physical or economic displacement
  • ESS5 doesn't apply to refugee or internally displaced persons due to disasters.
  • Affected persons can be classified as having formal legal rights to land, recognized or potentially recognized (under national law), or not holding any recognizable legal right, including identifying individuals and families to better understand, and address specific needs.

Project Design

  • Projects should be limited to direct requirements and needs within a reasonable timeframe, considering environmental, social, and financial impacts
  • Alternatives to land acquisition should be explored, especially when displacement results
  • Balancing environmental, social, and financial aspects is important, particularly considering impacts on the poor and vulnerable, especially regarding gender impacts. Avoiding unnecessary land acquisition or restriction wherever possible and using timeframes consistent with stated project plans. Feasible alternatives should be considered.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Affected parties should receive replacement cost compensation and other assistance for livelihood improvement or restoration, including restoration projects to improve livelihoods to pre-displacement levels
  • Clear standards for compensation for different categories of land and assets.
  • Compensation rates can be adjusted upwards when necessary
  • Compensation should be delivered via transparent mechanisms and appropriate procedures, including detailed documentation of agreements
  • The provision of land in lieu of compensation should be available where replacement land is available.
  • Special assistance may be provided to people who are being resettled to support transitioning
  • Land will only be taken after compensation is resolved. Compensation can be in cash, or in kind, providing suitable alternatives for those whose livelihoods are closely tied to the land.; compensation is contingent upon a suitable plan regarding the use of the land post acquisition, including relevant legal, environmental, and sustainability requirements.
  • In cases with difficulty contacting owners, or contesting claims, a compensation fund may be deposited according to a detailed plan, with prior Bank agreement and confirmation of reasonable efforts to resolve the situation. Compensation to affected parties should be handled fairly, taking into account all relevant circumstances, and be subject to approval by the lending institution. This includes a process for addressing competing claims in a timely manner, using applicable court procedures and appropriate steps to resolve contested claims.

Community Engagement

  • Host communities need to be engaged through stakeholder engagement, considering women's perspectives and indigenous peoples' rights
  • Affected individuals should be offered options for resettlement and livelihood restoration, including consultation on preferred options and clear communication channels
  • Transparency and consultation are key parts of resettlement decisions.
  • Female perspectives and livelihood considerations should be taken into account. Women's interests and preferences in compensation should be considered. Consultations should ensure women's perspectives are included in all stages of resettlement planning and implementation. Consultation needs to occur with affected communities, and with host communities, throughout the planning, implementation, and monitoring process. Specific measures need to be in place to ensure meaningful participation and to respect indigenous peoples rights and practices as necessary.

Grievance Mechanisms

  • Grievance mechanisms should be made available to handle concerns during resettlement, following best practices, ensuring mechanisms are in place to address specific concerns about compensation, relocation, and livelihood restoration measures.
  • The process should be swift and equitable for affected parties.
  • Formal and informal mechanisms should be used as appropriate. A grievance mechanism needs to be in place early in the project's development. A plan should be created with dispute resolution mechanisms and procedures for those aggrieved by the project.
  • Monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of the dispute resolution system on affected groups should be included, incorporating specific mechanisms for evaluating both the effectiveness of the mechanisms and whether displacement's impacts have been addressed.

Planning and Implementation

  • A census of affected parties helps establish records and identify needs, documenting all assets and resources affected by the project.
  • A plan that addresses risks and impacts should be proportionate to the size and complexity of the project, including eligibility criteria, procedures, and a defined cut-off date. The plan must provide methods and timelines for implementing measures to mitigate displacement
  • Eligibility criteria and procedures should be in place, as agreed to by the project and bank (lender) and clearly communicated and understood by all stakeholders.
  • A cut-off date should be defined and communicated effectively. The cut-off date for eligibility needs to be clearly communicated, publicized, and enforceable.
  • Resettlement plans are needed for physical and economic displacement, including timelines for implementation and completion, clearly outlining the roles and responsibilities of involved parties and organizations
  • Roles and responsibilities of individuals, organizations, and agencies involved in the process should be outlined clearly, along with contingency financing to address unforeseen circumstances. Plans for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of measures need to be developed, taking into account all potential risks and impacts of the resettlement process, with specific metrics for measuring success in terms of mitigating adverse impacts.
  • The plan should consider compensation for loss of income and related livelihood impacts, with specific measures to ensure economic security/livelihoods post-displacement, clearly describing expected changes and the timeline for support and implementation. Plans should be detailed with provisions and timelines, that consider relevant legal, environmental, and sustainability requirements.

Displacement

  • Plans for physical displacement address relocation, including adequate replacement housing or financial compensation, as well as moving assistance for affected parties, also considering existing infrastructure and supporting services in the new settlement or relocation site
  • New sites must meet or exceed existing living standards wherever possible, incorporating measures to enhance the living conditions
  • Compensation for individuals losing land-based livelihoods will differ depending on their circumstances, including providing replacement land for those impacted, or appropriate compensation in case adequate replacement land isn't available. Compensation may be provided in cash or other forms depending on the situation. Resettlement can involve negotiation for improved or changed living conditions to support the affected people, as well, factoring existing local costs and availability. Resettlement plans need to include alternative options, including financial compensation.
  • Compensation may be provided in cash or other forms depending on the situation. The criteria, procedures, and timing of payments should all be outlined in full, and accessible to affected groups.
  • Compensation is contingent on resolving tenure disputes and ensuring a safe, accessible, and suitable resettlement location. Thorough and exhaustive measures to address issues with land ownership and access should be integrated within the project and transparently communicated

Economic Displacement

  • The plan must address economic displacement, which may include income loss, the identification of viable alternative locations, Lost income during the transition, cost of transfer and re-installation or equipment (especially for businesses), re-establishment of commercial activities, and assistance with employment opportunities. Measures to support affected persons economically post-resettlement, considering potential training, support and/or resources for generating income in the new location, or equivalent compensation and support. Specifics regarding financial compensation and livelihood restoration are necessary, outlining amounts, timelines, and procedures for disbursement.
  • Alternative livelihood options, training, and/or support for income generation should be available post-displacement.
  • Special attention should be given to businesses impacted by the project. Additional care needs to be given to affected people's business needs to support their transition to a new location. Details of how this would be implemented should be included in the plan.

Collaboration and Responsible Agencies

  • Cooperation is needed with agencies responsible for land acquisition, resettlement planning, and related aspects, in addition to NGOs or international organizations that can help with the process.
  • Capacity building and training for relevant agencies is important to ensure proper procedures are followed, along with appropriate levels of coordination and communication between agencies. Agencies should have the ability to handle disputes and ensure efficiency in executing the project. A thorough review of the capabilities and capacity of all relevant agencies is required.
  • Consultations with communities and agencies responsible for carrying out the project during planning and implementation stages should be included, with a defined protocol and schedule. Stakeholder, including indigenous peoples, consultations must be in place and documented.
