8 1 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Background The Asian Development Bank (ADB) intends to provide an investment project that will contribute to the Government s goal of providing safe water supply and improved sanitation facilities for rural households in Vietnam. The Central Region Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project (CRRWSSP) aims to improve the rural environment and enhance poverty reduction activities in six provinces of the Central Regions of Vietnam, namely, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Nam and Binh Dinh provinces, located in the North and South Central Region. The Executing Agency (EA) for the CRRWSSP is the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), with responsibility delegated to the National Centre for Water Supply and Sanitation (NCERWASS). The Implementing Agencies are the Provincial Centres for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (PCERWASS) established in each of the 6 provinces. Six subprojects in six target provinces were selected for project preparation for Phase 1 in January 29. Phase 1 will involve provision of piped-water supply system and sanitation facilities in the following subprojects: In Thanh Hoa province, Tien Loc commune, Hau Loc district. In Nghe An province, Dien Yen commune, Dien Chau district. In Ha Tinh province, Thach Bang and Thach Kim communes, Loc Ha district. In Quang Binh province, Thanh Trach commune, Bo Trach district. In Quang Nam province, Ag Roong hamlet, A Tien commune, Tay Giang district. In Binh Dinh province, Tay Thuan and Tay Giang commune, Tay Son district. Based on ADB Social Safeguards Policy, a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) shall be prepared when social impacts on land acquisition and resettlement activities are identified so that mitigation measures and compensation for loss of personal properties and assets of project-affected-persons or households will be undertaken so as not to impoverish them and make them victims of the subproject. The intial LARP for Tien Loc Commune, Hau Loc District rural water supply and sanitation subproject in Thanh Hoa province was prepared in February 212 and this was updated in November 213 after the detailed engineering design was completed and approved. This Updated Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan is based on the following: Results of Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) of Affected Households (Ahs); Hiring of an independent consultant to validate replacement costs based on the market price and to apply this to the Compensation and Resettlement Plan; The provincial People s Committee s approved the compensation unit prices for compensation and resettlement. After detailed engineering a DMS of affected households was carried out in November 213. There were no major changes between the basic design used as the basis for approved LARP and the approved detailed design. Therefore small updates on amount of required land area, amounts to be compensated have been made. The number of affected households has been increased from 8 AH to 81 AH.

9 2 1.2 The Thanh Hoa Subproject Description The Thanh Hoa Subproject is located in Tien Loc commune, Hau Loc district of Thanh Hoa province. Present, water sources for domestic use are surface water, groundwater, irrigation water and rain water. Except for rain water, most of the other sources of water for domestic use are unsafe because of chemical pollutants from farming and from mechanical production from recycling of junk iron and steel. Subproject area in Thanh Hoa With the construction of the new water supply project, households will have easy access to clean and safe piped-water to their houses. It is estimated that the construction will be undertaken within a period of 2 years. The long-term goal is to provide of 9,565 persons (1% of commune population) with clean and safe piped-water by 22. The water supply component of the Subproject will consists of the following:

11 4 Figure 1 Layout of Thanh Hoa Subproject Water Supply System in Tien Loc Commune. 2 SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT 2.1 Inventory of Losses The Thanh Hoa PPMU and PPTA consultant have conducted initial survey of losses for all affected land, assets, properties and trees in the project area. The initial survey of losses was conducted in 29 to prepare feasibility study of the subproject. Since the above-mentioned survey was conducted 3 years ago and the data was out of date, a follow-up survey of losses was conducted by PPMU Thanh Hoa on Feb 13-17, 212 to validate and update the 29 data. 2.2 The Affected Land and Non-Land Assets 2.3 Loss of Land Land for borehole and water treatment plant. There is one borehole located within the treatment plant area. The water treatment plant will be located on agricultural land and presently it is used for rice farming. Area required for WTP is 2,516 m 2 and following the result of survey of PPMU Thanh Hoa there are 2 affected households by construction of water treatment plant. out of which five (5) HHs lose more than 1% of their productive land.

12 5 Figure 2 Land to be acquired for borehole and water treatment plant. Land for the Water Reservoir and access road to the reservoir The water reservoir/tank will be constructed on a hill with an elevation of 4 meters above sea level, and approximately 225 meters away from the water treatment plant. The land area to be acquired for reservoir is 216 m 2 and it is public land, therefore there will be no compensation for land acquisition. However, the 21 timber trees (mainly cajuput) that will be felled/cut will be compensated. Two (2) households are affected. The land acquired for this access road to the reservoir is 482 m 2.

13 6 Land for Access Road to water treatment plant widening The access road leading to the location of the water treatment plant will be widened to allow equipment and construction materials to be transported to the worksite. It also is the road to be used for the operation and maintenance stage.

14 7 Figure 4 Access Road to the water treatment plant to be widened. The present access road s width is around 3,8 meters. It will be widened on the right side of the road for 5 meters and the affected land is agricultural land planted mostly to rice. The total length of the access road to be widened around 391m and the total affected area is 1,14 m 2 including 1,54m 2 paddy rice and 5 m 2 fishing and this fishing land also is public land, there are 43 HHs affected because of loss of farmland, in which 1 HHs will lose fishpond. Clean water distribution system pipe line Clean treated water distribution system pipeline including main pipeline, secondary and services network pipeline s total length is meters. Around 23.9 m 2 public land will be temporary acquired for construction of the distribution system pipeline. The main pipeline, with diameter 15mm, from reservoir on the hill to the intercommunes road will have a length of around 24m, will pass through rice and vegetable fields. PPMU will permanently acquire this land, with area of 59m 2 ( out of which 239m 2 is rice field and 351m 2 is peanut). Following the survey of PPMU Thanh Hoa, there are 16 households to be affected by this component.

Based on field survey, there will be no impacts to architecture, buildings, electric posts and other public utility structures for the laying of the network pipeline as well as the construction of the reservoir on the hill and water treatment plant. The Roads in Xuan Hoi Hamlet The Roads in Thi Trang Hamlet

17 Cultural/Aesthetic Structures Based on technical design there will be no impacts on cultural or aesthetic structures Disturbances to Livelihoods Following the design of the pipeline located on the inter-hamlet roads, service roads located on the edge of the hamlets, show that there will be no impact or loss of structures, crops as well as other assets of households during the construction of pipeline. Disturbance to businesses located along the road where the pipeline will be laid and experience temporary difficulties in terms of access, and noise and dust pollutions. To minimize temporary disturbances particularly on access to businesses, services and other activities along the road, the Contractor will provide information 2 weeks in advance, about the date, time and duration of the construction activities so that the affected households/businesses and/or institutions will be able to prepare their activities. Wooden or steel planks will be placed across excavations to provide access and ease traffic movements. Other measures and timing to minimize disturbances and impacts are: Pipelines will be put in parallel with the process of digging ditches to save time. Once the pipes have been laid, this will be immediately covered with earth/soil. It is estimated installation of pipes will be around 2 days. Wooden planks will be placed where there are excavations crossing the road to ensure continuous traffic movement. Pressure test will take about 2 days. Total time for construction of each 3-5 m about 1 week.

24 17 4 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND CONSULTATION 4.1 Consultations Disclosure of information and consultations are conducted during preparation and implementation of subprojects to ensure that Affected Households and other stakeholders are timely informed about land acquisition, compensation and resettlement so that they will have opportunities to participate in and express their preferences and concerns regarding the resettlement program. Consultation meetings at the commune level with concerned stakeholders and community meetings with affected households were held on February 21, 212 to discuss on potential impacts on land and non-land properties during construction of the subproject components. Consultation and information dissemination has been an integral component of the RP preparation. During the preparation of the RP, significant information dissemination and consultation with primary stakeholders has been undertaken, through walk through the affected area, village level meetings, sample household surveys, random interviews with people in the village, and meetings with other key stakeholders. Resettlement Consultation Workshops attended by representatives from the PPMU, District and Commune authorities were conducted to present: (i) Project s components; (ii.) GOV s laws and procedures on land acquisition; ADB s policies on Involuntary Resettlement; (iii) Project s Policy Framework and Entitlements; (iv) Project Impacts and Entitlements for each type of impact ;(v.) Preparation of Resettlement Plan; Budget Costs and Tentative Implementation Schedule. The workshop allowed the participants to raise questions to clarify the resettlement policies particularly compensation and entitlements.

26 19 5 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM Grievances related to any aspect of the Project will be handled through negotiation aimed at achieving consensus. Complaints will pass through 3 stages before they could be elevated to a court of law as a last resort. First Stage, Commune People s Committee An aggrieved affected household may bring his/her complaint before any member of the Commune People s Committee, either through the Village Chief or directly to the CPC, in writing or verbally. It is incumbent upon said member of CPC or the village chief to notify the CPC about the complaint. The CPC will meet personally with the aggrieved affected household and will have 3-45 days following the lodging of the complaint to resolve it (Note: in remote and mountainous areas, the complaint should be resolved within 45-6 days. The CPC secretariat is responsible for documenting and keeping file of all complaints that it handles. Upon issuance of decision of CPC, the household can make an appeal within 3 days. If the second decision has been issued and the household is still not satisfied with the decision, the household can elevate his/her complaint to the DPC. Second Stage, District People s Committee Upon receipt of complaint from the household, the DPC will have 3-45 days (or 45-6 days if it is in remote or mountainous areas) following the lodging of the complaint to resolve the case.

28 21 6 POLICY FRAMEWORK AND ENTITLEMENTS 6.1 Legal Framework The Resettlement Legal Framework and Entitlements for the Project have been built upon the laws of the Government of Viet Nam and the ADB's Involuntary policy as outlined in the RF. However, provisions and principles adopted in the Resettlement Legal Framework for the project supersede the provisions of relevant decrees currently in force in Viet Nam wherever a gap exists. The overall objective of the policy is to ensure that all people affected by the subproject are able to maintain and, preferably, improve their pre-subproject living standards and income-earning capacity from compensation and life rehabilitation assistance for the loss of movable and immovable assets. The policy is based on the laws and regulations of the Government of Viet Nam (GOV) and the ADB. The principal Vietnamese laws and regulations include: The 23 Land Law dated 26 November 23; Decree 181/24/ND-CP dated 29/1/24of the Government guiding the execution of amended land law 23; Decree 197/24/ND-CP date 3/12/24 of the Government on compensation, assistance and resettlement in the event of land recovery by the State; Decree No. 188/24/ND-CP dated November 16, 24 of the Government on methods of determining land prices and land prices framework; Circular No. 114/24/TT-BTC dated November 16, 24 of Ministry of Finance guiding the implementation of Decree No. 188/24/ND-CP of the Government; Decree No. 17/26/ND-CP dated January 27, 26 of the Government amending and supplementing some articles of the Decree guiding the implementation of the Land Law and Decree No. 187/24/ND-CP on the transfer state-owned companies into joint stock companies. Decree No. 84/27/ND-CP dated May 25, 27 of the Government on additional regulations on the granting of land use right certificates, land acquisition, implementation of land use rights, compensation order and procedure, resettlement when the State recovers land and settle claims about land; Decree No. 123/27/ND-CP dated 27 July 27 amending and supplementing some articles of Decree No. 188/24/ND-CP dated 16 November 24 on methods of determining land prices and frame land prices; Decree 69/29/ND-CP dated August 13, 29 of the Government of Vietnam regulating additional planning of land use plan, land prices, land acquisition, compensation, assistance and resettlement; Circular 14/29/TT - BTNMT dated January 1, 29 by MONRE regulating compensation, assistance and resettlement procedures and land acquisition, land allocation, land lease in details; Decision No 3644/211/QD-UBND date Nov of Thanh Hoa People s Committee issuing the compensation price of tree, crops on land when required land on the Thanh Hoa area. Decision No 4194/212/QD-UBND date Dec of Thanh Hoa People s Committee issuing the price lands on the Thanh Hoa area in 213.

29 22 Decision No. 4137/213/QD-UBND dated 25 November 213 For Issuance of Replacement cost for implementation of Land Clearance Project: Central Region Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project, Subproject Tien Loc, Hau Loc district, Thanh Hoa province. Annexed hereto, refer to Annex Reconciliation of Government and ADB Policy on Resettlement With the promulgation of Decree 197/24/ND/CP (3/12/24) and Decree 69/29/ND-CP and relevant decrees stated above, the policies and practices of the Government have become more consistent with ADB s social safeguards policies. Nonetheless, provisions and principles adopted in this Resettlement Framework will supersede the provisions of the relevant decrees currently enforced in Viet Nam wherever a gap exists, as provided for under Decree 131/26/ND-CP (November 26), which regulates the management and use of official development assistance. It should also be noted that as per Decree 69/29, Article 23, it states "Apart from the support prescribed in Articles 18, 19, 2, 21 and 22 of this Decree, basing themselves on the local realities, the provincial-level People s Committee shall decide on other supporting measures to stabilize life and production of persons who have land recovered; special cases shall be submitted to the Prime Minister for decision, therefore, if additional gaps not mentioned below are found during RP updating, the required assistance or support will be included in the Updated RP. The differences between the Government s Laws and Decrees and ADB Policy with regard to resettlement and compensation, and how to address these gaps for this Project are shown in the table below.

30 23 Table 5 Gaps Between National Laws and ADB Policy Key Issues. Key Issues National Laws ADB Policy Project Policy Vulnerable groups those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples. Definition of Vulnerable groups Provision of Assistance to Economically Displaced Households. Decree 197/24 (as amended by Decree 69/29) states that affected households losing 3% or more of their productive land will be provided assistance. However, Article 23 of Decree 69/29 also states that based on actual conditions at the local area, PPC shall determine other assistance methods to ensure accommodation and life stabilization. It also states that households who are directly involved in agricultural production and derive their major income from the land that are to be acquired by the Government, PPC shall consider the assistance level on a case by case basis based on actual conditions. Decree 17, 26 also states that In any case where any household or individual Provide economically displaced persons with needed assistance. Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. Focus on strategies to avoid further impoverishment and create new opportunities to improve status of the poor and vulnerable people. (i) female headed households with dependents (ii) households with disabled persons, (iii) households falling under the current MOLISA benchmark poverty line, (iv) children and elderly households who are with no other means of support, (v) landless households, and (vi) non-integrated and vulnerable ethnic minorities; and (vii) social policy households as defined by the Government Specific measures will be provided to ensure that all vulnerable groups are assisted to improve or at least restore living standards to pre-project levels and in a manner that is culturally sensitive and appropriate.

31 24 Key Issues National Laws ADB Policy Project Policy from whom land is recovered has a living standard which is classifies either as a poor household according to criteria set for poor households by MOLISA, they must be assisted to overcome the poverty. The actual amount and time of assistance will be decided by the People s Committee of a province or city under Central control but it must not be less than 3 years and must not exceed 1 years counting from the day of completion of land recovery. Non-titled users Clause 2 of Article 23, Decree 69/29, the Peoples Committees of the provinces or centrally-run cities shall consider providing such support on case-by-case basis. Non-titled households, including displaced tenants, sharecroppers and squatters, are not entitled to compensation for land but are entitled to payment for non-land assets and assistance to restore their pre-project living standards. If they are poor and vulnerable, appropriate assistance must be provided to help them improve their socio-economic status. Poor and vulnerable non-titled users will be provided appropriate assistance to help them improve their socio-economic status. The type of assistance will be identified during RP updating as per consultation with households. Unregistered businesses Compensate and support only registered manufacturing and business enterprise or households Promptly compensate all economically displaced persons for the loss of income or livelihood sources at full replacement cost, and assist through credit facilities, training and employment opportunities Assist displaced persons/households who do not fall under registered business by providing assistance in cash or in-kind during transition period.

32 25 Key Issues National Laws ADB Policy Project Policy Houses and structures Decree 197/24, Articles 18-2: Houses and structures constructed prior to land use plans or the right of way announcements will be assisted at 8% of replacement cost. Structure to be compensated 1% of replacement cost, without depreciation and regardless of status of the AH on the land as long as structure was put prior to the cut-off date Houses and other structures on land without sufficient conditions for compensation that were constructed prior to the decision on land recovery (cut-off date) will be compensated 8% of new construction price. Plus: cash assistance amounting to 2% of new construction price if at the time of construction there is no clear or proper announcement of land use plan or remote operation website. Entity that conducts the valuation of acquired assets Provincial and cities people s committee under central authority will establish specific land prices based on the principles stated in clause 1, Article 56, Land Law. Qualified organizations may provide consultancy on land prices (Article 57, Land Law) Qualified and experienced experts will undertake the valuation of acquired assets Qualified and experienced experts will be engaged to conduct replacement cost surveys for the project which will be used as input by the District Compensation Boards under the District People s Committee for determining compensation amounts.

33 26 7 ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS 7.1 Objectives The overall objectives of the resettlement policy for this RP are (i) to minimize, if not avoidable, resettlement impacts; (ii) if impacts are unavoidable, RP is prepared in a way to ensure that AHs are not worse off; rather, they should be able to at least maintain or otherwise improve their pre-project living standards and income-earning capacity. Principles adopted for this Project, irrelevant to current situation but might be relevant in the future in case there will be major changes in alignment designs, are presented below: Involuntary resettlement and impacts on land, structures and other fixed assets will be minimized where possible by exploring all alternative options. Compensation will be based on the principle of replacement cost at the time of compensation. Displaced persons without title or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for non-land assets at replacement cost. Residential land, residential house and agricultural land for replacement should be close to the previous places as much as possible and be suitable to displaced persons. Meaningful consultation will be carried out with the affected households and concerned groups and ensure participation from planning up to implementation. The comments and suggestions of the AHs and communities will be taken into account. The RP will be disclosed to AHs in a form and language(s) understandable to them prior to submission to ADB. Resettlement identification, planning and management will ensure that gender concerns are incorporated. Special measures will be incorporated in the resettlement plan to protect socially and economically vulnerable groups such as households headed by women, children, disabled, the elderly, landless and people living below the generally accepted poverty line. Existing cultural and religious practices will be respected and, to the maximum extent practical, preserved. Culturally appropriate and gender-sensitive social impact assessment and monitoring will be carried out in various stages of the project. Resettlement transition stage should be minimized. Restoration measures will be provided to displaced persons before the expected starting date of construction in the specific location. Budget for payment of compensation, resettlement and support will be prepared sufficiently and made available during project implementation. Sites for resettlement and restoration will be available as required. Reporting and independent monitoring (if any) should be defined clearly as part of the management system of resettlement. Independent assessment of the duration and results of the land recovery should be carried out. PPMU will not issue notice of possession to contractors until DPC has officially confirmed in writing that (i) payment has been fully disbursed to the displaced persons

34 27 and rehabilitation measures are in place as per Updated RP agreed between PPMU and ADB; (ii) already-compensated displaced persons have cleared the area in a timely manner; and (iii) the area is free from any encumbrances. No land recovery or site clearing will be done until and after the Updated RP has been agreed between PPMU and ADB and the provisions in the Updated RP have been implemented satisfactorily. 7.2 Project Entitlements The project entitlements (i.e. compensation and support) developed and presented in the entitlement matrix below corresponds to the impacts identified during the DMS carried out in November 213. Consultation with AHs and other stakeholders were carried out on 27 November 213, for details refer to section 4 Information and Disclosure and Consultations. Entitlements adopted are based on government policies and decisions and ADB policies. Entitled persons are those who satisfy the cut-offdate.

41 34 8 RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN 8.1 Source of Resettlement Funds All land acquisition, compensation and resettlement costs of the subproject are taken from provincial counterpart funds of Thanh Hoa province. 8.2 Replacement Cost Survey All compensations will be based on the principle of replacement cost. Replacement cost is the amount calculated before displacement which is needed to replace an affected asset without deduction for taxes and/or transaction costs. Replacement Cost Survey has been prepared to assess if the compensation rates issued by the Thanh Hoa People s Committee corresponds to replacement costs. The market rates have been determined through desk study and field survey by an independent accredited valuation company. Information about price was mainly collected through direct interviews with affected and non-affected households. Affected households were prioritized for the selection of sample for the survey. Households who have recently bought land and built structure on this land were also prioritized. In addition, information was also collected from various provincial departments and commune, district and other stakeholders. The results of this replacement cost survey are summarized in Table 1 The market prices identified by Southwest Information and Appraisal Corporation Land Thanh Hoa Branch dated 26 October 213 and was approved by Thanh Hoa PC in decision No. 4137QĐ-UBND dated 25/11/213. For details refer to Annex 5. We should note that, in addition to the PPC compensation rate, farmers will receive an allowance equivalent to 1.5 times this compensation rate for the support for job change when acquired land.
