For the purpose of this assignment, AF-Consult Switzerland Ltd (“Consultant”) has prepared the Ressetlement Action Plan (RAP) and the Social Assessment Report (SA) in the affected community. The Government of Albania (GOA) has assigned high priority to improve the conditions of the electricity sector in Albania. The economic and political importance of this sector for the country has prompted a series of World Bank projects since the inception of the cooperation with the World Bank. In despite of the past projects, the electricity sector in Albania continued to display significant deficiencies. The Power Recovery Project of Albania has an objective to improve reliability of power supply and financial viability of the power sector. This proposed project consists of four components: i) short-term complementary power import support; ii) upgrading distribution infrastructure, iii) transmission meter/data center upgrade; and iv) supporting power sector reforms and project implementation. As part of the financing scheme, the ‘Power Recovery Project of Albania’ (hereinafter the project) is financing a new power Sub-Station (110/20KV – 80 MVA) in the Kombinat Area of Tirana. This new substation is expected to enhance the power supply for the area. Thus the current assessment contributes firstly, to the preparation and implementation of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the new power substation and any associated power system investment. While, the Ressetlement Policy Framework (RPF) aims to describe all potential future social safeguard risks and mitigation measures for all project components for which exact footprints and impacts are not fully known or confirmed to date. The RAP’s main findings are given below: 1. To minimize resettlement effects OSHEE has selected a vacant land, without any dwelling or other facility. This is confirmed through RAP field observations. However, the inevitable private land affected results for 1 agriculture plot owned by one land owner only. 2. RAP reveals that the only affected party from land acquisition, for the construction of the new power substation, is a private land owner (Family Shurdhi with four brothers and sisters with their families). This land owner is identified to be expropriated per the Albanian legislation in force. The land acquisition affects 1 plot, in total 4231 m2. The land plot is located in the Kashar administrative unit, in the Municipality of Tirana. 3. Land needed for the new power substation is registered as “agricultural land”. Field observations and data collected through RAP census-survey show that the land is currently a pasture land, with no usage. There are no dwellings or any other structure or trees in the identified plots to be expropriated. Through the land passes a high-voltage 110kV line and there is another high-voltage tower currently not used. 4. The compensation method, as per Albanian legislation in force to be applied for this expropriation procedure is cash compensation. The option “land for land” is not provided by the Albanian legislation to private owners1. Cash compensation is fully sufficient to compensate the 1 The only case when “land for land” compensation method could be applied, is when the affected entity is the commune itself and a communal property is being expropriated. The Council of Ministers gives another property in compensation to the affected commune. In every other case, as per basic principle, for AF-Consult Switzerland Ltd Technical Assistance to the Project Management and Implementation Units for Implementation of the Page 4 (30) Power Recovery Project - RfP No. PRP-CS-QCBS-1 RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN - December 2016 acquired agriculture land. The landowner has accepted cash compensation as a method to compensate its expropriated land. 5. The estimated total cost of land compensation for the proposed project is calculated to the amount of 28,466,674 ALL (Approximately USD 224,6422 ) for a total of land surface of 4231 m2. 6. The valuation method for estimating the compensation considered all the available sources of information in order to propose a market / replacement value of land in the new power substation area. Main assumptions taken into consideration in the frame of methodology are related with current regulatory framework for land expropriation and its recent amendments; and eventual transaction (sales and leasing) and other listings on the footprint substation region as well as interviews with real estate agents and valuation experts (See Annex 2: Methodology for Estimating Land Compensation Rate). In these conditions the RAP applies an average price for land expropriation of USD54 per m2. 7. It is provided that the Government of Albania will compensate the project affected people (PAPs) for any loss of physical assets, revenue, and income resulting from economic displacement or physical relocation whether these losses are temporary or permanent. However, the census survey found that construction of the new substation will not affect neither immovable properties, such as houses or structures, nor revenues and income. 8. Public consultation suggests that PAPs have to be compensated in a timely way, so that they can make any adjustments early on, before any impact. RAP reveals that potential impacts due to land acquisition for the construction of the new substation appear to be quite moderate and manageable. Field observations and the census survey showed that that the planned power substation will be constructed by avoiding buildings and structures. 9. During RAP implementation, monitoring will be ensuring that any issue, which may arise, is properly addressed. Nevertheless, safety and compensatory measures are provided if needed and any land, which is temporarily affected, must be restored to its original condition. 10. Social safeguard measures and guidance are provided for both construction phase and post-completion phase impacts relating to land acquisition/expropriation, impacts on livelihoods and related compensation, as needed. 11. The socio-economic assessment indicates that, the economic status of PAPs will not be worse off than before the project as a result of land acquisition. The land to be expropriated is currently vacant and not being used for any activity. Therefore, the consultant assesses that the land is not affecting PAPs’ source of income. As far as it concerns the vulnerable groups, such as: handicapped or disabled, children, the elderly, widow, women heads of household, who are usually the most affected in such situations, there is no evidence that such groups will be affected. The RAP does not require rehabilitation assistance and/or moving allowances and no houses and/or other structures are affected, but only cash compensation for the lost land. Finally, RAP foresees that assistance with project-related issues is to be provided by the local grievance committee to all PAPs, especially as regards the vulnerable groups. 1.1 Methodical approach The

  • Youth Policy in Albania Council of Europe in 1997
    ID 9540 Albania is the seventeenth country to have undergone an international review of its national youth policy, a series which was started by the Youth policy in Albania Council of Europe in 1997. The review was performed in 2009 during two one-week visits by a team of international experts working on the basis of the Albanian National Youth Strategy, published in 2007. The report focuses on three issues identified by the Albanian government: the law, delivery mechanisms and youth participation, and three issues identified as important by the review team itself: youth information, leisure-time activities and youth crime and justice. While reviewing the youth policy in Albania with special attention to theses issues, the international team came across a number of specific or cross-sectoral subjects (education, health, minorities, etc.) which helped depict a broad picture of the situation of young people in the country. Recommendations made by the international team, cover not only government action, but address steps to be taken by those who take part, at all levels, in the shaping of youth policy in Albania. Youth policy in Albania The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe. It seeks to develop common democratic and legal principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights and other reference texts on the protection of individuals. Ever since it was founded in 1949, in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Council of Europe has symbolised reconciliation.

  • Tirana Area and Other Regions of Albania and Is Now Considered a Leading NGO in Albania in Supporting the Development of Sustainable Lifestyles and Green Economy
    Description of the organization: The Institute for Environmental Policy (IEP) is a non-governmental, non-profit environmental organization founded in November 2008. IEP's general objective is to enhance environmental sustainability in Albania through the implementation of projects aimed to raise awareness among the local population and to formulate environmentally friendly policies in collaboration with local and national authorities. IEP was founded by a group of young experts committed to bringing about positive change after years of environmental degradation and negligence in Albania. IEP members are highly motivated and have the required experience and education to influence the Albanian society towards a sound environmental protection and sustainable living. In its activities, IEP frequently cooperates with other NOGs, local and international experts and volunteers from the local youth. EP has implemented various projects and activities and has experience in awareness raising, trainings, seminars, campaigns and working with youth; this is done connecting different spheres of the Albanian society with a particular attention at the sustainability of activities and processes. IEP has also implemented several public actions on pollution and environmental sustainability with the help of young volunteers in the Tirana area and other regions of Albania and is now considered a leading NGO in Albania in supporting the development of sustainable lifestyles and green economy. IEP was a partner organization with Ethical Links during the "Developing green skills and behaviors" Youth Exchange, organized in Estonia in June 2013. IEP is currently working with local and international young volunteers in IEP, (currently there are two EVS volunteers from Italy, project 2014-3-IT03-KA105-005030), training them on how to manage projects, teaching them environmental management, and is also helping them in learning new foreign languages (in the case of foreign volunteers, the staff of IEP is teaching them Albanian).
