Glossary of the Terms
Bigha There are three major units (Bigha, Kattha, and Dhur) used to measure and keep official record of land in Southern plain of Nepal known as Terai. One Bigha is equivalent to about 6869 sq.m. (Twenty Dhur makes one Kattha, and twenty Kattha makes on Bigha) Chief District Officer (CDO) There are 75 administrative districts in Nepal. Chief District Officers (CDO) are the Chief Administrative Officers of these districts. Among others, the responsibilities of the CDOs also include managing and maintaining district administration, law and order situation in the district, and implementing Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan for the development projects to be implemented in the districts. Dalit (Minor Caste Group) Dalit is commonly known as untouchable in traditional Nepalese society. They belong to occupational and artisan group. Dalit Commission has defined dalit as, “the community discriminated on the basis of caste and marginalized in terms of social, economic, educational, political and religious sectors.”
The Dalit caste, has further been divided into different groupings in accordance with socially prescribed type of works. For example, communities traditionally engaged in tailoring, or playing musical instruments, making shoes or communities involved in washing clothes, are given different family names in accordance to the type of traditional occupation they are involved with. District Development Committee There is one District Development Committee (DDC) in each administrative districts of Nepal to be headed by elected district level political leader. Janajati (Ethnic/Indigenous People) In broad, Nepalese indigenous population consist two major groups, the Indo-Nepalese, whose ancestors migrated into the country from the south and the Tibeto-Nepalese, whose ancestors entered Nepal from the north. There exist cultural, linguistic, and religious differences both between and within the two groups. Differences within the Indo-Nepalese grouped are marked more by caste (a system of social hierarchy) than by ethnicity. The Tibeto- Nepalese group comprises several different ethnic groups including Bhutia, Sherpa, Gurung, Magar, Tamang, Rai, and
iii` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
Limbu people. The Tibeto-Nepalese are concentrated in hill and mountain and the Indo- Nepalese are concentrated in the Terai plain and inner Terai.
As defined by Nepal indigenous/nationalities/tribal, Act defines; “People having their own mother tongue, distinct traditional values, and cultural identities, including social structure and written/non-written history are Indigenous and nationalities population.” Land Acquisition and Compensation The committee to be formed under the Fixation Committee chairmanship of CDO for acquiring and compensating land and properties based on Land Acquisition Act of Nepal (2034) 1977 and Electricity Rule 1993. Permanent Acquisition Land and other assets permanently acquired for the construction of sub-stations, transmission towers and other associated works related to the project in accordance with the prevailing Acts. Permanently acquired land and other assets are paid compensation on replacement cost based on current market rate. All the permanently acquired land are transferred in the name of Executing Agency. Permanent loss of Crops Long term loss of crops production in the cultivating land permanently acquired for the project. Restriction to Use of Land Land not acquired permanently but used to maintain the RoW of the transmission lines. Ownership of such land will not be transferred and the owners will be allowed to cultivate their land. However, there will be restrictions to construct structures and for plantation of trees within the specified zone of influence of the transmission lines (e.g. 9m both sides for 132 kV T/L) subject to be compensated under the prevailing law as provisioned in Land Acquisition Act 1977 and Electricity Rule 1993. Ropani Land measurement unit, practices in the hilly regions of the country. One Ropani of land is equivalent to approximately 508.74 sq. ft. There are three sub-units under the Ropani.

Executive Summary
I. The Project Introduction
1. The proposed Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project consist of six investment components and one component on provision of expert services. The Investment component supported by the ADB grant covers six main outputs each consisting of several activities. The first four major investment outputs are; (i) Transmission System Augmentation; (ii) Distribution System Enhancement; (iii) Distribution Loss Reduction; and (iv) Generation Plant Improvement. The investment components have been proposed by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) based on its generation and rehabilitation plan, transmission system master plan and short-term distribution augmentation plan. The other two investment outputs are (v) Energy Efficient Lighting and (vi) Solar Power based Street lighting. The final component is to provide (viii) Expert Services assisting Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in distribution.
II. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Planning
2. This Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) has been prepared for (a) Dumre- Damauli-New Marsyangdi Transmission Line (T/L) section under the Middle Marshyangdi - Dumauli – Marshyangdi 132 kV transmission line and related Sub-station works, (b) Construction of Chapali Sub-station, and (c) Constructing Distribution and Switching Sub- stations in different ten districts.
3. Land acquisition and resettlement planning however, may not require for; (i) Stringing of 132 kV second circuit between Middle Marsyangdi-Marsyangdi (44 km), (ii) Expansion, reinforcement and construction of new sub-stations at Damauli, Middle- Marsyangdi, and Marsyangdi (Aanbu Khairini) under the Middle Marsyangdi-Damauli-Marsyangdi New Marsyangdi 132 kV transmission line and sub-station construction components, (iii) Second circuit stringing between Butwal-Kohalpur (200 km,), (iv) Construction of distribution sub- stations and switching centers at Swyambhu, Synaja, Mahottari, (v) Expansion of Matatirtha sub-station at Kathmandu, (vi) 66 kV underground cabling from Chabahil to Lainchaur (7.5 km) and associated sub-station upgrading works, and (vi) Installation of 220 MVAR capacitor banks to reactive power compensation at eight transmission existing sub-stations. Project activities under these components will be carried out on the available Government/NEA land or existing RoW. However, taking into account to likely losses of crops and trees during second circuit stringing the LARP has provisioned compensation for the same. Similarly, land acquisition and resettlement plan also may not require for the investment component of (i) clean energy plant development, (ii) supply side energy efficiency improvement, (iii) public private partnership in distribution, and (iv) energy efficiency in lighting, and renewable energy for street-lighting as the activities are basically related to the replacement of available technical equipment/appliances and management aspects. Table 1 provides land acquisition requirement for different investment components under the project.

4. As shown in the table above, an estimated area of 26.05 ha of land is required to implement the project activities. Out of which, about 4.66 ha to be acquired permanently and another 21.39 ha of land will be restricted to use except for agriculture purpose. As the land restrict for RoW will not be acquired permanently, the cultivator will be allowed to use the land for agriculture purpose. The Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) prepared under the Technical Assistance (TA) ensures; (i) types and extent of losses due to the project (ii) Principles and legal framework applicable for mitigation of losses, (iii) Entitlement matrix for compensation and other assistance based on the inventory of losses, (iv) Provisions for relocation assistance and restoration of house/businesses/income, (v) Budgets, and institutional framework for the implementation of the plan, and (vi) Responsibilities for monitoring of the LARP measures.
III. Impacts
5. A total of 314 households and 1654 persons likely to be affected due to the proposed Project. The major impacts include permanent acquisition of land, restriction to use land (except to use for agriculture purpose), and acquisition of residential/commercial structures along the proposed T/L RoW (Table 2).

6. Of the total (314) affected households, 22 households likely to have significant impact (2 households due to effect on residential land and 20 households due to effect on their residential/commercial structures).
7. The project may also cause loss of crops in 146.55 ha of land and private trees in the affected land.
8. The LARP has devised mechanism of addressing likely resettlement issues at local and project levels as much as possible through the Grievance Readdressal Committees (GRC) to ease the LARP implementation before going to the court.
9. All the project-affected households will be paid compensation at full replacement cost (market price) based on prevailing Acts/Rules, ADB Guidelines, and NEA practices. In addition to the compensation, the LARP has also provisioned different types of financial assistance (e.g. shifting, cost, transitional allowance, compensation for loss of business etc). In accordance to the Government’s policy, and ADB guidelines at least, one family member from each project affected vulnerable people will also be enrolled in income restoration and improvement program to be implemented as a part of resettlement plan in Dumre-Damauli 132 kV T/L construction section, as the number of vulnerable households is comparatively higher in this project section.
IV. Project Locations
10. The Project activities will cover 14 administrative districts of all-five development regions of the country (Table 3). As per the technical design, construction and

V. Resettlement Principles, Policy, and Legal Frameworks
11. Land acquisition principles adopted for this project recognize the Land Acquisition Act 1977, Electricity Act 1992, Electricity Rule 1993, and ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement 1995. Besides, other relevant Acts, Government policies and applicable NEA practices and experiences will also to be considered, while implementing this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan. The resettlement principles adopted in this Project will provide compensation and resettlement assistance to all affected persons and businesses, irrespective of titles and extent of impact, in accordance with ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and Government’s Act. Based on the above policy features, the principles of R&R for this Project will entail the following:
Negative impact on persons affected by the Project would be avoided or minimized as much as possible;
Where the negative impacts are unavoidable, the Project-affected persons will be assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living. Vulnerable groups will be identified and assisted to improve their standard of living;
Land replacement1/or cash compensation at replacement costs based on current market rate to the households affected by the loss of land. ;
Cash compensation will be paid for residential/commercial/residential-cum-commercial and other structures affected by the Project at current market price;
Assistance should be provided to the owners of structures and non-titleholders, who may incur loss of ability to maintain livelihood during relocation and resettlement;
1 There is also provision of land for land compensation to the APs having complete loss of their land only if government land is available in the area (Land Acquisition Act 1977, Clause 14)
ix` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
Rehabilitation assistance i.e.; compensation for lost business and workdays (including employees) due to relocation and disruption of business enterprise.
Before taking possession of the acquired lands and properties, compensation and Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R) assistance will be provided in accordance with this policy.
Appropriate grievance redress mechanism will be established at the district, and local level to ensure speedy resolution of disputes.
All activities related to resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring would ensure involvement of women, vulnerable groups and APs.
VI. Consultation and Stakeholder Participation
12. Stakeholders at different level were consulted during Resettlement Plan preparation process. The consulted stakeholders also include representatives of relevant line agencies (e.g. NEA officials, CDO, Land Measurement Office, District Forest Office, and Local NGOs etc), local people and project-affected families including the vulnerable groups, forest users groups, local level social workers, representatives of political parties, businesspersons, and other resource persons. The stakeholder consultations was found effective on disseminating information about the project, conducting socio-economic and census survey, and soliciting other relevant information/data to prepare the resettlement plan.
VII. Institutional Framework
13. NEA will be the Executing Agency (EA) of the project. Managing Director will be the Chief In-charge for the implementation of all components under the project. Under the Managing Director, a project implementation team will be formed for the Transmission and Distributions Departments. NEA will assign Project Managers (PM) for the components under Directors of both Transmission and Distribution Departments. The PM will act as Project Implementation Unit (PMU) and report to the respective Directors (Transmission and System Operation Department and Distribution and Consumer Service Department) of Executing Agency. Technical, administrative and account sections will support in the overall project and LARP implementation activities to be carried out by the Project Office (PO).
14. Four Project Managers (PM) will be assigned under the Transmission and System Operation Department to implement the project activities under: (i) Butwal - Kohalpur Second Circuit Stringing; (ii) Middle-Marsyangdi–Damauli–Marsyangdi; (iii) Chapali-substation Construction and Chapahil-Lainchaur Underground Cabling and Sub-station Enhancement; and (iv) Expansion of Matatirtha Sub-station. Similarly, two Project Managers (one for eastern and one for central and western districts) will be assigned to implement the distribution components in 10 different districts including Kathmandu. The PM to be assigned for Eastern districts will be stationed at Dhanusha will implement the project in Eastern districts (Jhapa, Siraha, Dhanusha, Mahottari and Sarlahi). The PM to be assigned for Central and Western districts will be stationed at Pokhara and implement project activities in Western (Kathmandu, Kaski, Syanja, Parbat, and Bardiya) districts. These PMs will also be supported by technical, administration and account sections.
15. The PM will regularly update the EA on the progress of LARP implementation activities. The PM will coordinates with the Chief District Officers (CDOs) and formally request for the formation of Land Acquisition and Compensation Fixation Committee (LACFC) for the project. All land acquisition and resettlement related documents prepared for

I. THE BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
1. Government of Nepal aims to expand electricity to rural areas by providing quality services at a low cost, to adopt hydro-electricity as the foundation of overall economic development, and develop it as an exportable item.2 The proposed Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project consist of six investment components and one component on provision of expert services. The investment component supported by the ADB grant covers six main outputs each consisting of several activities. The first four major investment outputs are; (i) Transmission System Augmentation; (ii) Distribution System Enhancement; (iii) Distribution Loss Reduction; and (iv) Generation Plant Improvement. NEA proposed investment components based on its generation and rehabilitation plan, transmission system master plan and short-term distribution augmentation plan. The other two investment outputs are (v) Energy Efficient Lighting and (vi) Solar Power based Street lighting. The final component is to provide (vii) Expert Services assisting Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in distribution
(i) Facilitation of Access to Clean Energy (Component 1): The following activities have been included under this components:
a. Middle Marshyangdi - Dumauli – Marshyangdi 132 kV transmission line and related substation works: This component is to improve the security of power evacuation from the newly constructed 70 MW Middle Marshyangdi hydropower station, and will provide general reinforcement through the important Damauli sub-station. Work will include construction of 19 km new double circuit 132 kV transmission line in Dumre-Damauli-New marsyangdi section, second circuit stringing on an existing 44 km 132 kV transmission line from Middle Marsynagdi to Marsyangdi, construction of a new 15 MVA, 132 kV/33 kV sub-station at Marshyandi, reinforcement of Damauli sub-station with construction of two 132 kV line bays, and extension of 132 kV line bays at Middle Marshyandi and Marshyandi switchyards.
b. Butwal-Kohalpur 132 kV second circuit transmission line: This 200 km line is used to transfer power imported from India to Mahendranagr to the west and centre of the country. The project involves stringing of the second circuit of an existing 132 kV line built on double circuit towers, increasing the power import capacity by up to 100MW.
c. Construction of Chapali Substation: This sub-project includes construction of a new 30 MVA, 132 kV/11 kV sub-station, installation of 15 km of underground 11 kV distribution line for 6 feeders at Chapali, and extension of two 66 kV GIS line bays at Lainchaur sub-station and installation of 7.5 km, 66 kV underground cable form Lainchaur to Chabahil.
d. Expansion of Matatirtha Substation: The western part of Kathmandu Valley is relatively well served with 132 kV transformer capacity. However, the area experiences poor power supply due to the loading imposed on and length of
2 Three – Year Interim Plan, Approach Paper (2064/65-2066/67), National Planning Commission, July 2007
1` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
11 kV feeders, resulting in frequent feeder tripping and high losses. The project will reduce average 11 kV feeder length by converting the Matatirtha 132 kV switching station into a full 132 kV sub-station. It involves constructing additional 132 kV bays, installing two transformers, and constructing 33 kV and 11 kV lines to connect to existing circuits.
e. Installation of Capacitor Banks: This project involves installation of approximately 220 MVAR of capacitor banks for reactive power compensation at eight transmission sub-stations.
(ii) Energy Access Quality Enhancement (Component 2): In order to improve distribution system reliability, quality of supply, and reduction of technical losses, NEA has proposed to construct eight new 33/11 kV, 6/8 MVA sub-stations at (i) Kusma, (ii) Burahathwa, (iii) Mainapokhar, (iv) Dhanusha/Dharampani, (v) Paraul; (vi) Baniyani; (vii) Mirchaiya; (viii) Dhikurpokhari/Banskot, and three new 11 kV switching substations at (i) Swoyambhu, (ii) Mulpani, and (iii) Mirmi, taking into account the technical urgency and optimization of revenue generation. This will reduce the incidence of scheduled and unscheduled supply interruptions, reduce losses, and improve supply quality.
(iii) Clean Energy Plant Improvement (Component 3): Under this component Marsyangdi (69 MW) Gandak (15 MW) hydropower plants will be partially rehabilitated. This work will increase availability at both power stations and will reduce self-consumption at Lower Marshyangdi, providing an estimated additional 4 GWh of energy per year. This component is composed of (a) replacement of weir control system and modernization of excitation system at Marshyangdi; and (b) installation of trash rack cleaning system at Gandak for the improvement of plant availability. NEA is contemplating engagement of individual consultants to support it during the bidding process.
(iv) Supply-side Energy Efficiency Improvement (Component 4): This component is proposed to address high technical and non-technical losses in medium voltage and low voltage distribution networks in Kathmandu Valley. A series of pilot project have been prepared by NEA; 16 11 kV feeders and downstream low voltage networks with unacceptably high losses have been identified and are to be rebuilt from the 11 kV feeder circuit breaker down to the customer service connection and revenue meter. These pilot projects will become “model networks” that can be replicated across Nepal. They will incorporate best international practice with respect to design, construction and commercial operation. To ensure that best practice is adopted, Individual consultants will be engaged to provide technical advice and support NEA for detailed design and implementation.
(v) Public Private Partnership in Distribution (Component 5): NEA is committed for introducing a franchising modality for the management and operation of selected distribution areas. NEA will identify three cities in which it will form strategic partnerships with private sector entities for management and operation of the urban electricity supply systems. ADB is presently supporting development of a franchising model, bidding guidelines, and related legal and bidding documentation. Loan proceeds will be used for expert services required to support the bidding process.
(vi) Energy Efficiency in Lighting (Component 6): Presently NEA has a pilot CFL program targeting about 250,000 domestic consumers within 21 identified areas. This
2` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
investment component involves scaling-up of this program to nationwide program with an estimated 1 million high quality CFLs of capacities 9W, 12W and 20W. The Project will target phase-wise domestic consumers in all electrified areas with emphasis on high impact areas. It is expected that this program will free up a minimum of 10MW of power plant and a potential reduction of 23 GWh of consumption. Also, assistance will be provided for a public awareness campaign and for an implementation consultant (local) and other resources required for the Demand-side Management (DSM) cell to be established by NEA.
(vii) Renewable Energy for Street-Lighting (Component 7): This component will facilitate the promotion of solar-powered street lighting in urban areas of Nepal and will fund a pilot project involving Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and Lalitpur areas. The identified areas are durbar squares in all three municipalities, areas around Pashupati Nath temple, Swyambhu and Boudha Nath Stupas, Thamel and New Road/Indra Chowk. The Project includes purchase of solar-powered street lighting systems, replacement/installation and setting up a system to ensure proper maintenance system. It is estimated that around 1,200 street lights will be replaced with solar which will reduce peak load demand of about 0.2 MW and save about 700 MWh per year.
1.2 Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan
2. Resettlement-planning document is required to both Government and ADB in the development projects having scope of affecting and acquiring individuals/ community assets. In line with the policy guidelines of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Government’s Land Acquisition Act (LAA) 1977, this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) has been prepared for the project activities under the investment components of (a) Dumre- Damauli-New Marsyangdi Transmission Line (T/L) section under the Middle Marshyangdi - Dumauli – Marshyangdi 132 kV transmission line and related Sub-station works, (b) Construction of Chapali Sub-station, and (c) Constructing Distribution and Switching Sub- stations in different nine districts (Fig 1).
Figure 1: Scope of Land Acquisition Resettlement Planning

3. Land acquisition and resettlement planning however, may not require for (i) Stringing 132 kV second circuit between Middle Marsyangdi-Marsyangdi (44 km), (ii) Expansion, reinforcement and construction of new sub-stations at Damauli, Middle, Marsyangdi, and Marsyangdi (Aanbu Khairini),(iii) 132 kV second circuit stringing between Butwal-Kohalpur (aprox 200 km,), and (iv) Construction of distribution sub-stations and switching centers at Swyambhu, Synaja, Mahottari, (v) Expansion of Matatirtha sub-station at Kathmandu, and (vi) Installation of 220 MVAR of capacitor banks for reactive power compensation at eight existing transmission sub-stations.
3` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
4. These project activities will be carried out on the available Government/NEA land or existing RoW. However, taking into account to likely losses of crops and trees the LARP has also provisioned compensation for the same. Similarly, land acquisition and resettlement plan also may not require for the investment component of (i) clean energy plant development, (ii) supply side energy efficiency improvement, (iii) public private partnership in distribution, and (iv) energy efficiency in lighting, and renewable energy for street-lighting as the activities are basically related to the replacement of available technical equipment/appliances and management aspects. Table 1-1 provides land acquisition requirement to implement the project activities. Detailed information on land acquisition and restriction requirement by investment components is included in Appendix A-1.

5. As shown in the table above an estimated area of 26.05 ha of land is required to implement the project activities. Out of which, about 4.66 ha to be acquired permanently and another 21.39 ha of land will be restricted to use except for agriculture purpose. The land restrict for RoW will not be acquired permanently, and the cultivator will be allowed to use the land within the RoW only for agriculture purpose. The LAND Acquisition and Resettlement Plan is to ensure; (i) Types and extent of losses due to the project (ii) Principles and legal framework applicable for mitigation of losses, (iii) Entitlement matrix for compensation and other assistance based on the inventory of losses, (iv) Provisions for relocation assistance and restoration of house/businesses/income, (v) Budgets, and institutional framework for the implementation of the plan, and (vi) Responsibilities for monitoring of the LARP measures.
1.3 Projects Benefit and Impact
1.3.1 The Benefits
6. Opportunity for hydropower development, reduction of outage in the distribution network, and total network loss, supply of efficient and reliable energy are some of the key expected benefits of the Project. Implementation of the Project may also bring several positive impacts in the socio-economic scenario of the Project districts thereby contributing towards poverty reduction through enhancing economic activities in the area through creation of employment opportunities in the production sectors due to reliable and efficient electricity supply, and even employment opportunity during construction period.
1.3.2 The Impacts
7. A total of 314 households and 1654 persons likely to be affected by the proposed Project. The major impacts include permanent acquisition of land, restriction to use land (except to use for agriculture purpose), and acquisition of residential/commercial structures
4` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP along the proposed T/L RoW (Table 1-2). Appendix A-2 provides details on land acquisition and resettlement impact by investment component and locations.

1.4 Measures to Minimize Impact
8. Appropriate measures have been taken by the project design in order to minimize acquisition and resettlement impact by using the available Government/NEA lands, wherever feasible and even by changing alignment route of the 132 kV new transmission lines. NEA has changed its design drawing of 132 kV new Middle Marsyangdi-Dumre-Damauli section from Angle Point 0 – 7 in order to avoid the settlement area and valuable land. 3 Likewise, Government/NEA land have also been identified and proposed for the implementation of some distribution sub-stations and switching centers in different districts (e.g. construction of switching stations at Mirmi- Syanja, Swyambu-kathmandu, and distribution sub-stations at Mahottari, Dhanusha, Mainapokhar, and transmission sub-station at Marsyangdi). NEA further aims to minimize the alignment route of the transmission line in critical sections based on community demand4 as far as technically feasible and carrying out the construction- erection of towers and stringing transmission lines during off seasons.
1.5 Objective of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan
9. The Resettlement Plan (RP) also mentioned in this document as Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP), is guided by ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, Land Acquisition Act of Nepal 1977, and other relevant Acts, Rules (e.g. Electricity Act 1992, Electricity Rule 1993) and Government policies, and guidelines related T/L construction. The main objective of LARP is to identify impact and to plan measures for mitigating various losses likely to occur due to the Project. It further aims to provide guidelines to address the identified acquisition and resettlement impact and to ensure compensation and other assistances to the affected households and people under the prevailing legal norms of GON in keeping with the ADB guidelines. The LARP is based on the general findings of field reconnaissance, socio-economic, and census survey of the Project affected household and their affected assets. The plan to be up-dated and finalized during the detailed design based on changes in technical design and verification of affected persons and their assets.

II. THE PROJECT LOCATION
10. The proposed Project activities will cover 14 administrative districts of all-five development regions of the country (Table 2-1). Key socio-economic characteristics of the project districts are included in Appendix B-1.
11. Construction and expansion/strengthening of transmission sub-stations (Chapali, Matatirtha, and Lainchaur including underground cabling) and two switching centers (Mulpani and Swyambhu) will be implemented at Kathmandu. The New 132 kV T/L will be implemented in Tanahu and Gorkha districts, and nine distribution sub-stations will be constructed in different districts across the country. A brief descriptions on the locations of each investment component is given in Appendix B-2.

Far-western Development Region Kailali and Kanchanpur Source: NEA, Technical Design and Census Survey Feb. 09 –Apr. 2009
2.1 Locations of Transmission Line /Sub-station Components
2.1.1 Middle Marsyangdi – Damauli-Marsyangdi
12. New 132 kV T/L will be constructed in Dumre-Damauli (18 km) section and for New Marsyangdi Sub-station (1 km) under Middle Marsyangdi-Damauli-Marsyangdi T/L and sub- station construction component. The proposed Dumre-Damauli T/L starts at Angle Point (AP) 0, located inside the compound of Damauli sub-station and passes through ward No. 1,3.5,6, and 11 of Vyas Municipality, ward No. 1 and 9 of Barbhanjyang VDC, Ward No. 1,2,3,4,6,7, and 8 of Ghansikuwa VDC (Tanahu District), and get connected with the tapping point (known as AP 39 of MMHEP T/L tower) located at Ward No. 8 of Chynagli VDC in Gorkha district. As per the technical design, most of the alignment route of Dumre-Damauli new T/L covers Tanahu district except from AP 21 to the tapping point (known as AP 39) located in Chyangli VDC of Gorkha. The proposed T/L mostly passes through the community forest and cultivating land. Similarly, the new T/L for proposed New Marsyangdi sub-station (approx 1 km) starts from the proposed sub-station location at Markichowck, Ward No. 3 of Aanbu Khairini VDC (Tanahu district) and crosses the agricultural land towards south and get connected at existing Marsyangdi Tower near Raudi Khola.
2.1.2 Chapali Sub-station
13. Chapali sub-station site is located at Chapali Bhadrakali VDC; ward No. 8, Bhangal, approximately 10 km north from the center of Kathmandu. As per the National Census 2001,
6` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP there are 903 households in the VDC with the total population of 4544 (comprising 2278 male and 2268 female). Over the last few years, urbanization within this vicinity has been increasing rapidly. Many new residential buildings have come up in this area and this area is of potential importance from distribution expansion viewpoint. The likely impacts associated with this sub-station construction appears to be less as the proposed sub-station area is already occupied with 132 kV and 66 kV transmission line Right of Way (ROW). About 35 ropani (approx 1.79 ha) of land will be required for the proposed sub-station and about 500 meters of existing access road from main road to the substation site shall be improved.
14. Another three project activities under the transmission components (expansion of existing Matatirtha S/S and Improvement of existing Chabahil sub-station and 33 kV underground cabling) will be implemented in Kathmandu.
2.2 Locations of Distribution Components
15. Project activities under the distribution component covers 10 administrative districts of the country. Out of them, two distribution switching center (Swyambhu and Mulpani) will be implemented in Kathmandu and rest of the project activities will be implemented in different nine districts. For this component, NEA had identified locations prior to the mobilization of the TA team. However, some of the locations were confirmed during the project preparation phase. While doing so, it was also approached to identify alternative locations for some of the sub-stations. NEA will construct distribution sub-stations in one of the proposed locations of each project district. Information on the proposed locations for the distribution sub-stations and switching centers is given in Appendix B-3.

III. SOCIOECONOMIC SURVEY AND CENSUS
3.1 Socio-economic Information
16. ADB guidelines require a complete socio-economic survey and census of project affected families early in the Project preparation phase to identify all losses from acquisition due to the project. Accordingly, approach was made to collect socio-economic information from the affected households and census of their affected assets and to solicit other relevant information/records from different sources (APs, Land Measurement Office and community) in between February - May 2009). Of the total households likely to have Project impact, about 77 % households form Dumre-Damauli T/L section were contacted and interviewed to collect socio-economic information and information on their affected assets. Interview from the households likely to have project impact in Chapali sub-station and distribution sub- stations/switching centers (from different 10 districts), could not be carried out as the affected households from these locations were found absentee and residing in other locations (Table 3-1). However, information on affected land, number of affected households and APs for these project locations were collected through the records of Land Measurement Office and the local community. A set of cadastral map containing information on the affected land parcels in Dumre-Damauli T/L and Chapali sub-station project is included in separate volume as Supplementary Appendix in the report submitted to NEA.

17. Corridor of 18 meters (nine meters both sides for 132 kV T/L was taken as a standard benchmark to collect socio-economic information from the affected households. For the transmission and distribution sub-station components, information was collected through technical design prepared by NEA, cadastral maps and land records and affected
9` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP communities in the project locations. Key socio-economic characteristics of the affected households is incorporated in Appendix C-1.
3.2 Affected Families and Assets
18. A total of 314 households likely to be affected due to the project. Among them 301 households will have effect on their land and another 20 households will have effect on their residential/commercial structures (Table 3-2). Appendix C-2 provides breakdown of the impacts by locations.

19. Compared to the total number of affected households (314) the number of significantly affected households is quite low. Based on the census data, there are only 22 (7%) households likely to have significant impact due to the project. Among them, 2 households will have significant impact on their residential land, and another 20 households likely to have affect on their residential/commercial structures. Table 3-3 provides the number of households likely to have significant impact due to the proposed project.

3.3 Effect on Land
20. An estimated area of 26.05 ha of land will have effect due to construction of sub-stations, towers, and due to restriction of land except to use for agriculture to maintain RoW for new 132 kV transmission lines. Of the total affected land, a significant proportion (about 82%) of land will have effect only due restriction of land except to use for agriculture for RoW. As per the NEA practice in other T/L Projects, the restricted land except to use for agriculture to maintain RoW will not be acquired permanently. Ownership of such land remains to the usual owners. The owners/tenants will be allowed to cultivate the land and just be restricted to use for constructing structures and plantation of trees. For such effect, NEA will provide compensation to the APs based on the total market value of the affected land subject to be fixed by the Compensation Fixation Committee (CFC). As being practiced, in most of the transmission line projects NEA is providing 10% compensation to such land out of the total market value subject to be fixed by CFC. However, the Project will have to acquire an estimated area of only 4.66 ha of land permanently. Table 3-4 provides estimated area of land likely to be acquired (permanently and restricted for RoW).

3.3.1 Ownership Type of the Affected Land
21. Of the total identified households having effect on their land, 102 were titleholders of Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi section, 13 were absentee titleholders of the proposed land for Distribution sub-stations across the country, and another 74 were absentee titleholders of Chapali sub-station location. Table 3-5 provides breakdown of the ownership of the affected land from different sub-project. List of landowners is given in Appendix C-3.

22. NEA will approach all the affected households/persons including the absentees through the Compensation Fixation Committee to be formed under the Land Acquisition Act 1977 and they will be notified, and contacted from the beginning of acquisition process as per the prevailing Acts.5
3.3.2 Extent of Effect on Land
23. The extent of impact due to effect on land could not be assessed from the locations of all investment components as the project affected households in Chapali sub-station and distribution sub-stations/switching centers (from different 10 districts), were found to be absentee (Ref. chapter 3.1). Therefore, the analysis on extent of impact on land is limited to 102 project-affected households having land ownership certificates in the location of Dumre- Damauli –New Marsyangdi 132 kV Transmission Line construction section.
24. Of the total (102) affected titleholders (having ownership certificate), 87 (85.29%) households will have effect on their land only up-to 10% out of their total owned land and there are only 15 (14.70%) households having more than 10% effect on their land out of their total ownership (Table 3-6). Effect on land by (i) total land ownership, and (ii) affected plot is included in Appendix C-3.

25. In resettlement planning, households loosing more than 10% land out of their total ownership are considered as significantly affected. In Nepal, land under the transmission line is not acquired permanently for maintaining the RoW. The owners will be allowed to cultivate them as usual. However, the RoW affected land will be restricted to construct buildings and plantation of trees within the corridor of influence (e.g. both sides 9 meters for 132 kV T/L) as provisioned by Electricity Rule 1993. In such cases, affected households/APs will be paid compensation based on current market price to be fixed by the Compensation Fixation Committee (CFC). Thus, generally, in the transmission line projects, households having more than 10% effect on their cultivating land due to restriction for RoW are not considered as significantly affected. Accordingly, significant impact due to effects on land have been expected to be low even in the proposed project. It is in the sense that the project requires
5 As provisioned in the Land Acquisition Act 1977, information about acquisition plan to be publicly notified as a part of land acquisition and resettlement process. As stipulated in Clause 9 (1) of the Act, such notification, also include information on several aspects such as: (a) Purpose of acquiring land; (b) Whether to acquire land only or also the structures (residence, wall etc); (c) Name of place and ward number of the location; (d) Parcel numbers of land plots to be acquired or their remarkable boundary, if parcel numbers are not available; (e) Area of land to be acquired; and, (f) Other relevant information. Such information are disseminated through the notice boards of relevant central, district and local level government offices. These days, it is also being practiced to notify about the acquisition plan even from the national and local newspapers and radio program. Furthermore, there is also provision notifying individually if needed (Land Acquisition Act 1977, Clause 9, Sub-clause 2).
12` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP only about 4.66 ha of land for permanent acquisition and 21.39 ha of land for RoW (Ref. Table 1-1, and Appendix A-1 for details).
26. However, exceptionally 2 households in Dumre-Damauli T/L section likely to have significant impact (75%-87% of the total plot area) on their residential land causing restriction to construct houses in the affected land for maintaining the RoW of the proposed Dumre- Damauli 132 kV new transmission line (Table 3-7). As both of these households have been found owning only the affected land plots. The area of affected land plots is four Aana (127.18 sq.m.)6 of each affected household. The LARP has provisioned compensation to such households at full replacement cost for the effect on their land. Details on total land ownership status of APs and extent of project’s impact is included in Appendix C-3.

27. The project also likely to affect 23 residential/commercial structures and associated utilities) in Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi T/L and Chapali Sub-station sections. Of the total affected structures, 19 are residential, one is residential cum commercial and three are toilets of the affected residential structures (Table 3-8). Description of the affected structures by construction types and other details is included in Appendix C-4.

3.4.1 Ownership of the Affected Structures
28. Twenty structures are owned by either titleholders encroachers or squatters and only five (about 25%) households are owned by titleholders. The titleholder encroachers are the owners of affected structures having land in the area, but having their houses constructed in Government land. Similarly, the squatters are those who have constructed their houses temporarily in the NEA land near to the tapping point of proposed New Marsyangdi sub- station area along the bank of Raudikhola (a river) of Aanbu Khairini VDC, Tanahu district (Table 3-9).
6 As reported by the APs they do not have any alternative land to construct their house except the affected plot

29. The affected residential/commercial structures may not require relocation sites as the owners of the affected structures having been reported owning alternative land to shift their house in the same location. The squatters residing in the NEA land near the tapping point for proposed New Marsyangdi sub-station may also be temporarily shifted in the nearby land acquired by NEA early during the construction of Marsyangdi Hydroelectricity Project. The squatters have been found migrated from the adjoining district (Lamjung) to the project location for employment/better earnings and being involved in small-scale income generating activities (e.g. wage earning, making and selling bamboo baskets etc) in the vicinity.
3.5 Loss of Agricultural Crops and Trees
3.5.1 Loss of Crops
30. Implementation of the Project may also cause temporary and permanent loss of agriculture crops in an estimated area of 291.26 ha of land. Based on the technical design, an estimated area of 4.66 ha of permanently acquired agriculture land will have permanent loss of crop production and another 286.60 ha. of land along the corridor of transmission line will have temporary loss of crops during the construction phase. Table 3-10 provides the estimated quantity of permanent and temporary loss of crops due to the Project. Details on estimated quantity of permanent and temporary loss of crops, and cultivation area is included in Appendix C-5.

3.5.2 Loss of Private Trees
31. Implementation of the Project may also likely to affect private trees existing along the proposed RoW corridor in different project locations. Table 3-11 provides the estimated number of trees likely to be affected in different Project locations.

3.6 Impact on Indigenous/Ethnic and Minor Caste Households
32. For ADB assisted development projects that affect indigenous people adversely and significantly, an Indigenous People Development Plan (IPDP) to be prepared. ADB Handbook on resettlement mentions, if more than fifty people experiencing resettlement effects are particularly vulnerable, for example; hunter-gatherers the impact to indigenous people is considered significant.
33. In line with the ADB guidelines, the numbers of Indigenous/Ethnic and Minor Caste households likely to have significant impact due to the project were also enumerated during the census. As revealed by the census data only few (17) indigenous/ethnic and minor caste household likely to have significant project impact in Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi T/L construction and Chapali sub-station sections (Table 3-12).
34. However, the Indigenous/Ethnic people in the Project locations has been found assimilated with the main social stream sharing common social and cultural values and norms as well as languages and benefiting from the similar economic opportunities. The IP and minors in the project location are neither hunter nor pastoralist groups. They were not found having district language, culture and other traditional or cultural livelihood (like, fishing, hunting, collecting herbal plants) sources. Rather they were also found involved in different occupation in private and even in Government jobs. The LARP has made provisions of compensation and other assistance to such affected IP based on Government and ADB policy. In addition, Income Restoration and Improvement Program (IRIP) have also been incorporated in the LARP for project affected indigenous/ethnic/minor caste groups and other socially vulnerable households in order to ensure project’s benefits to such households.

35. During the census the project affected indigenous HHs have opted for compensation at replacement rate and other financial assistance as per the provisions in the project. List of Indigenous/Ethnic and Minor Caste HHs likely to have significant Project impact is included in Appendix C-6.
3.7 Impact on Other Socially Vulnerable Groups and Below Poverty Households
36. ADB policy also specifies about the need of adequate attention to vulnerable groups in designing and implementing land acquisition and resettlement plan. The vulnerable groups for ADB guidelines are (i) the poorest without legal title to assets, (ii) household headed by women, (iii) indigenous peoples, (iv) ethnic minority and pastoralist, (v) minority groups, disable and those unable to work. Here it is to be noted that these categories of people are also equally considered as vulnerable by the Government and have given priority to consider them as the target groups focusing to improve their socio-economic status while planning and implementing development projects. The provision of income restoration and improvement in the LARP aligns with the Government’s Three Interim Plan, Millennium Development Goal, and other policies and guidelines. In line with the Government policy and ADB guidelines, it was also approached to identify socially vulnerable groups having project’s impact through socio-economic survey and census while preparing the LARP. Based on the census data 205 vulnerable households (single women headed households 14, households headed by aged person 44, households having disabled persons 6, Dalit or traditional occupational caste households 30, indigenous households 93, and below poverty households 4) have been identified in the location of Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi section (Table 3-13).

Below Poverty Level Households 4 - 4 Total Vulnerable Households 191 14 205 Source: Census, May – June 2005
37. As shown on the table above the project also likely to affect 4 Below Poverty Level (BPL) households in terms of per capita cash income require to maintain subsistence level. Major reasons of better household income of the project affected households have been reported due to migration of family members from a majority of households (84.02% HHs) to India, overseas, and other parts of country - mostly for job. Ref Appendix C-1 for details). The provisions of compensation, other financial assistance and income restoration and livelihood improvement program made under the LARP will support the affected BPL and other vulnerable household to maintain their living condition. In addition, the employment opportunity likely to be generated during the construction phase further support them on enhancing their household income. The above number of vulnerable households however, needs to be finalized based on sensitivity analysis during the detail design or implementation phase for effective implementation of income restoration and improvement program. Some of the indicators to select vulnerable households for income restoration as suggested in ADB guidelines are:
16` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
How will the project affect sources of income and livelihood?
What are the income levels of APs?
Are there other non-monitory sources of livelihood?
What are the constraints and opportunities for income generation
Is replacement of land available?
Will it be possible to continue with agricultural activities?
How many of the APs cannot be reabsorbed back into their previous occupations?
What are the existing skills of APs?
What type of training do APs need and is there capacity to provide it?
How many APs would like to start their own business?
3.8 Loss of Common Property Resources
38. Seven community forests in Dumre-Damauli projects likely to be significantly affected due to construction of new 132 kV transmission line. Based on walkover survey across the Angle Points (from AP 0 – AP 39) of the proposed T/L alignment route the following community forests likely to be affected by the project (Table 3-14).

39. The Government owns community forests in the project locations. They are just handed over to the community for better management, conservation, and rational utilization of forest products. As reported by the community in different locations of Dumre-Damauli section, before 1990 the forests in the project locations used to be managed by the Government and were in degraded conditions due to extensive smuggling and irrational exploitation. However, after 90s the forests gradually handed over to the community in different locations. The community also started to replant the forest in some areas. Norms for the rational utilization of forest resources (e.g. by forming forest users groups, scheduling harvesting seasons for wood and timber, keeping watchers in the forest to prevent wood stealing, restricting the cattle for grazing especially the regenerating seasons in order to avoid the loss of new generation plants etc) were developed, which ultimately helped to protect the forest better than before.
1`7 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
40. The consulted community forest user groups were found supportive to the proposed project and also opted for compensation and other supports as per the Government rule for the likely impact. Some of the community forest users groups, particularly between AP 0-7 and AP-17 (Basudev Community Forest) and local community have requested NEA to consult with them while fixing the final alignment route in order to further minimize the impact. It is also to be note that the Basudev Community Forest Users groups have requested to push back the existing location of AP 17 (about 100 meters), towards north, in order to avoid the concentrated impact. The users group between AP 3-4 has opined their view to avoid the commercial land from RoW impact by pushing back toward to forest. Similarly forest users’ community between AP 0-2 have also requested to finalize the alignment only after consulting the group as they have plan of making a Martyrs Memorial Park in the forest located between AP 0-2.

IV. RESETTLEMENT PRINCIPLES, POLICY, AND LEGAL FRAMEWORKS
41. Land acquisition principles adopted for this project recognize the Land Acquisition Act 1977, Electricity Act 1992, Electricity Rule 1993, and ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement 1995. Other relevant Acts, Government policies and NEA practices and experience on implementing acquisition and resettlement plan will also be considered while implementing this Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan under the project.
4.1 ADB Resettlement Policy
42. It is mandatory for all ADB assisted Projects to follow specific ADB safeguard guidelines on environmental and social issues. The Bank Policy recognizes and addresses the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) impacts of all the affected persons irrespective of their titles and requires for the preparation of an appropriate land acquisition and resettlement plan in the case of where involuntary resettlement exists. These ADB policies are the guiding rule to identify impacts and to plan measures to mitigate various losses likely to occur due to the project. The key objectives and principles of the ADB Involuntary Resettlement Policy are:
Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible.
Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring all viable project options.
People unavoidably displaced should be com pensated and assisted, so that their economic and social future would be generally as favorable as it would have been in the absence of the project.
People affected should be informed fully and consulted on resettlement and compensation options.
Existing social and cultural institutions of resettles and their hosts should be supported and use to the greatest extent possible, and resettles should be integrated economically and socially into host communities.
The absence of formal legal title to land by some affected groups should not be a bar to compensation; particular attention should be paid to hou seholds headed by women, and other vulnerable groups, such as indigenous people and ethnic minorities, and appropriate assistance provided to help them improve their status as a part of the project.
As far as possible, involuntary resettlement should be conceived and executed as a part of project.
The full cost of resettlement and compensation should be included in the project cost.
Cost of resettlement and compensation may be considered for inclusion in Bank Loan for the project
19` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
4.2 Policy and Legal Frameworks
43. Land acquisition, compensation and resettlement in Nepal is still considered as project based activity. As there is no na tional policy to d eal on the matters related to l and acquisition and resettlement issues, it is guided by Land Acquisition Act 1977, and various sectoral Acts (e.g. Immovable Property Acquisition Act 1956, Land Reform Act 1963, Water Resources Act 1992, Electricity Act 1992/Rule 1993, Civil Aviation Authority Act 1997, Environmental Projection Act 1997 etc). At present, hydro-electricity, irrigation, roads, civil aviation and industrial projects are some of the main sectors requiring land acquisition. Since 1980 development projects in Nepal have been guided by their respective policies on case- to-case basis, which have resulted in v ariations in criteria on compensation for land and assets acquired for the project. Among others, such inconsistencies have been considered one of the factors affecting the project adversely. In consideration to this issue and the underlying policy gaps on land acquisition and resettlement activities, the Government of Nepal have drafted a National Policy on Land Acquisition, Compensation and Resettlement in Development Projects in 2004 with the technical assistance of ADB TA 4422 NEP. The policy however, yet to be implemented.
44. At present, Land Acquisition Act 1977, is considered as the core legal document to guide the tasks related to land acquisition and resettlement activities in Nepal. The Act seems insufficient to c over a wide range of resettlement issues that may emerge while implementing resettlement activities in different sectors (like; hydroelectricity, transmission lines etc). Therefore, the Act also use to be supplemented by different sectoral Acts and rules (e.g. electricity acts and rules) and even the guidelines of dif ferent funding agencies (e.g. ADB, WB etc) while implementing land acquisition and resettlement plan in different sectors (e.g. road, electricity, urban development, drinking water, irrigation etc). Some of the key provisions of Land Acquisition Act and other related Acts/Rules are as follows:
A. Land Acquisition Act:
Government can acquire land for any public purpose (Clause 3&4 of the Land Acquisition Act).
Land Acquisition Officer (LAO) shall be responsible to identify, survey, and notification to the concerned parties and other works related to acquisition (Clause 5&6)
The LAO shall determine the amount of compensation for the damaged property (house, wall, trees, etc) while conducting initial survey works (Clause 7).
Within 15 days after the preliminary actions the LAO has to confirm the required land and submit other details of the required property to the Chief District Officer (CDO).
The CDO to publish public notification with details of the affected property after receiving the report of the preliminary activities (Clause 9)
Any grievances to disable land and property acquisition could be reported to Home Ministry within 7 days of public notification to CDO. Home Ministry is to decide on the grievances within 15 days as a capacity of district court (Clause 11)
Upon addressing the grievances CDO can hold the land for acquisition for the purpose of project (Clause 12)
20` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
Compensation for the acquired land / property to be d ecided by a compensation fixation committee comprising of Chief District Officer, Land Revenue Officer, Project Manager, and representatives of the District Development Committee. The compensation to be paid in cash and separate compensation rates could be fixed for the partially affected land or completely affected land (Clause 13).
Official tenant to be paid compensation as per the prevailing laws (Clause 20).
Unpaid Government tax could be deducted from the compensation amount (Clause 21).
Preliminary hearing of grievances/cases related to the Act shall be done by CDO. Appeal to such hearing could be made to the appeal court within 35 days (Clause 40).
B. Electricity Act and Rule
Government can acquire any private land through standard process in order to utilize for water resources development including electricity generation, transmission, and distribution (Electricity Act, Clause 33).
Government can prohibit use of land in th e places of generation, transmission or distribution infrastructures or, other structures, for other specific purpose in and around them through publication/dissemination of public notice in Government Gazette from time to time (Electricity Rule 66).
Land and property owners of acquired or restricted property shall be paid full compensation amount as determined by compensation fixation committee (Electricity Rule 87).
A compensation fixation committee under the Chairmanship of Government appointed person, and representatives (concerned person or representative of the project, an expert appointed by the Government in the field of e lectricity, fixed property owners or representative, representative of Land /revenue Office, VDC representative) shall decide the compensation of affected land and property (Electricity Rule 88).
4.3 Difference between ADB Policy and GON Resettlement Framework
45. Both Government Acts and ADB aim to compensate the APs having acquisition and resettlement impacts. However, there are some differences between ADB guidelines and GON legal framework on the issues related to land acquisition and resettlement matters. Some of the key difference is briefly summarized on Table 4-1.
21` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
Table 4-1: Difference between ADB and GON Policy on Resettlement Framework
S.N. ADB Policy GON Policy 1. Compensation to land irrespective of Legal ownership required ownership 2. Compensation to all affected assets as per Subject to be determined by Compensation Fixation prevailing market rate Committee 3. Provision of relocating land to Aps Only if Government land is available 4. Have own guidelines Have only draft guidelines (awaiting for Government approval) 5. Provision of hundred percent compensation NEA have been pay ing only 10% compensation for the affected loss based on the market value to the RoW effected land restricted to use except for agriculture in most of its projects outside the capital 6. Previsions of multiple options for Moe focused on cash compensation compensation 7. Provision of full compensation without any Government tax and loan can be deducted (LA Act deduction 1977, Clause -21)
4.4 NEA Practices on Land Acquisition and Resettlement
46. NEA has been implementing Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for several projects. Such projects also include the projects financed by different funding agencies (e.g. world bank, ADB, KfW etc) having their own land acquisition and resettlement guidelines. Therefore, in addition to the prevailing Acts, Government guidelines and ADB Policy, NEA will also consider its past experiences and practices while implementing this LARP. Appendix D-1 provides a synopsis of NEA’s practices on implementing resettlement plan in its completed and ongoing projects.
4.5 Resettlement Principles & Assistance of the Proposed Project
47. The resettlement principles adopted in this Project will provide compensation and resettlement assistance to all affected persons and businesses, in accordance with ADB’s Policy on I nvoluntary Resettlement and Government’s Act. Based on the above policy features, the principles of R&R for this Project will entail the following:
The negative impact on persons affected by the Project would be avoided or minimized as much as possible;
Where the negative impacts are unavoidable, the Project-affected persons will be assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living. Vulnerable groups will be identified and assisted to improve their standard of living;
Land replacement7/or cash compensation at replacement costs based on current market rate to the households affected by the loss of land.
Cash compensation will be paid for structure residential/commercial/residential-cum- commercial and other structures) affected by the Project at replacement cost
Assistance should be provided to the owners of structures and non-titleholders, who may incur loss of ability to maintain livelihood during relocation and resettlement
7 There is also provision of land for land compensation to the APs having complete loss of their land only if government land is available in the area (Land Acquisition Act 1977, Clause 14)
22` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
Rehabilitation assistance i.e.; compensation for lost business and workdays (including employees) due to relocation and disruption of business enterprise.
Before taking possession of the acquired lands and properties, compensation and Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R) assistance will be made in accordance with this policy.
Appropriate mechanism will be established at the district level to ensure speedy resolution of grievance and disputes.
All activities related to resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring would ensure involvement of women, other vulnerable and APs.
4.6 The Entitlements
48. The entitlements for this Project are based on Land Acquisition Act, 2034 (1977), Nepal Electricity Act 1992 and Rule 1993, ADB guidelines and NEA past practices and experiences from the T/L projects. The LARP has provisioned compensation for all ty pes of losses (land, structures, business / employment, and workday wages etc). All affected persons under the project will be compensated at full replacement cost based on current market price. The APs will also receive other cash grants and resettlement assistance such as shifting allowance, compensation, for loss of workdays / income due to dislocation, income restoration and improvement assistance, and other financial assistances to vulnerable groups in addition to the compensation for the loss of affected assets.
49. In the Resettlement Plan, compensation and assistance provisions have been made to cover compensation for lost assets and restore or enhance the livelihoods of all categories of affected people. Table 4-2 (Entitlement Matrix) provides further details regarding application of the principles, definition of entitled persons, and entitlements. As mentioned in Clause 9 Sub-clause 3 of the Land Acquisition Act 1977, the duration of compensation days will be determined by Compensation Fixation Committee (CFC). Further, Clause 37 of the Act illustrates that the Committee may extend the period of additional three months, if those affected not collect compensation. After termination of extended three months’ period, the amount will be deposited to the Government account. Any grievances and objections will be referred to the Grievances Redress Committee (GRC). Description on compensation provisions made for different items are discussed in the following sub-chapter.
4.6.1 Compensation for Land
50. There are two types of project’s effect on land; (i) permanent acquisition for the construction work, and (ii) restriction to used certain portion of land except for agriculture purpose to maintain RoW of the new transmission line (9 meter both side for 132 kV). Ownerships of the permanently acquired land will be transferred to NEA after compensation whereas it will not be transferred in the case of land restricted to maintain the RoW. Similarly, the permanently acquired land will not be allowed for cultivation but the land restricted to maintain RoW will be allow for cultivation. The LARP has made following provisions to compensate for the effect on land: 51. The LARP provisions for cash compensation to the APs at replacement cost for the permanently acquired land (agricultural, residential, commercial, forestry and others) to construct T/L structures, or sub-stations, and other associated works.
52. However, the land restricted to use except for agriculture will not be acquired permanently. The owners will be allowed to cultivate but restricted to use such land for the
23` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP purpose of constructing structures and plantation of trees. Such restricted land for RoW will be paid compensation for the affect based on current market prices subject to be fixed by Compensation Fixation Committee (CFC) as being practiced in most of the NEA’s T/L projects. NEA in most of the T/L projects has been paying 10% compensation to the land restricted to maintain RoW based on current market price to be fixed by CFC.
53. If the remaining land parcel after the permanent acquisition is too small, and that cannot be made as a separate parcel by breaking from the existing parcel8 and AP does not own adjoining plot and is willing to dispose the land, the entire plot shall be acquired at the replacement cost.
54. If the APs with small sized residential land have been restricted to maintain RoW for the new transmission line and the APs do not have alternative lands to construct their house (subject to be confirmed by CFC) such land will be acquired at replacement cost based on current market price. However, this provision may not be applicable to the APs having adequate area of land to build their house in the remaining portion of affected land or having other alternative land.
4.6.2 Compensation for Loss of Crops and Trees
55. One time compensation will be paid to the APs having temporary (one time) loss of standing crops/plants and trees due to construction activities at current market price based on average production. The provision will also applicable to the encroachers and squatters. For the APs having permanent loss of crop production in their cultivating land due permanent acquisition will be paid compensation for a period of 15 years at current market rate based on the average production on their acquired land.
4.6.3 Compensation for Structures (residential/ residential-cum-commercial)
56. Compensation for the affected structures used as residential, commercial and other utilities (e.g. toilet, well, cattle shed etc) shall be paid to APs at full replacement costs. The squatters/encroachers will also be eligible for assistance for the loss of structures/assets at full replacement costs. Owners of the affected structures will be allowed to take/reuse all the salvageable materials for rebuilding/rehabilitation of the structures without any deduction from the compensation amount.
4.6.4 Compensation for the Loss of Community Forest
57. The new 132 kV T/L in Dumre-Damauli section likely to have significant impact on seven-community forests. The community forest users groups shall be compensated in consultation with respective forest users groups and District Forest Office (DFO). Compensation cost for the Community Forests have been incorporated in Environmental report as being practiced in other transmission line projects implemented by NEA.
4.6.5 Financial Assistance to Tenants
58. Registered tenants of the affected land will be entitled to get 50% compensation for the affected plot as per the prevailing law.
8 As practiced by Land Measurement Office in Nepal, land piece less than 2 Aana 2 paisa (79.49 sq.m.) cannot be broken from the existing plot.
24` Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP: LARP
4.6.6 Shifting/Transportation Allowance
59. Households having affect on their residential/commercial structures will be paid transfer/shifting allowance @ NRs 25,000 per household to cover the cost of moving structures (transport plus loading and unloading). The shifting costs have been estimated in consultation with the APs having affect on their structures.
4.6.7 Land Replacement Cost
60. Based on the census survey two households in Dumre-Damauli new T/L section likely to have 75% to 87.5% affect on their residential land. The area of both residential land is 129.18 sq,m. The RP has provisioned land replacement costs @ NRs. 500,000 per households. The cost required to purchase equivalent land (124.18 sq.m.) in the location have been estimated based on the current local market rate assessed during the census survey.
4.6.8 Compensation for Loss of Business and Shifting Allowance
61. Households having affect on their business will be provided one time financial assistance @ NRs 25,000 to meet the cost require to shift the business premises plus compensation for the loss of business for the transitional period. The amount has been estimated in consultation with APs assuming one month as the average time that may require to find/shift to the alternative premises in consultation with the AP. The cost was calculated based on average per month income from the affected business, including transportation costs required to shift the business.
4.6.9 Transitional Allowance to the Affected Structure Owners
62. Households having affect on their residential/commercial structures will be paid one time financial assistance @ NRs 24,000 per each affected household to meet the rental cost for alternative/temporary accommodation for the period of six months (NRs. 6,000 per month) plus associated management cost to be require during the transitional period.
4.6.10 Income Restoration and Improvement
63. Land acquisition and resettlement activities in Dumre – Damauli-New Marsyangdi section likely to lead several issues on the regular income and livelihood of the APs having effect on their residential/commercial structures and assets. The vulnerable affected households considered in the LARP are; (i) households having affect on residential/commercial structure, (ii) households having significant loss of land; and (iii) other vulnerable project affected households (e.g. indigenous, ethnic, minor caste households, women headed households, below poverty level households etc).
64. The LARP has provisioned income restoration and improvement activities to the project affect vulnerable households having significant impacts as well as other socially vulnerable households (e.g. indigenous, ethnic, minor caste households, women headed households, below poverty level households etc). Here, it may be noted that the Government of Nepal aims to improve the living conditions of poor and vulnerable people also by involving them on different income generating activities and providing them skill trainings. Based on the socio-economic survey and census data there are 223 number of vulnerable households in Dumre-Damauli T/L and Chapali sub-projects. Table 4-3 provides the breakdown of vulnerable households likely to have project effect.

65. As shown in table above most of the vulnerable households (except two households in Chapali sub-station area) are the residents of different locations within the corridor of Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi T/L section. As Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi section is located along the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway (aprox 200 km) there are several scopes of income generation along the highway corridor through small scale enterprises ( e.g. tea and snack shop, other shops fruits and vegetable shops, automobile repairing center, restaurant and hotel business etc). Therefore, consulted family members of the vulnerable households were found interested on skill training or to initiate small enterprise development activities (e.g. cattle farming, vegetable farming, keeping small shops etc) for their livelihood improvement.
66. In the location of Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi section, there are several Government, non-Government and private sources including NGOs,9 involved on imparting skill trainings to different target groups. Some of the potential skill training options available in the location are related to agribusiness activities (e.g. vegetable and fruit farming, cattle farming, pig farming, fishery, bee farming), ready made and fast food production, auto mechanic, driving, beauty parlor, tailoring, hotel and restaurant business, house wiring, electric and electronic good repairing, radio-TV repairing, carpentry, metal works etc. Different NGOs are also available in the district to facilitate on organizing skill-training and enterprise development program under the project.
67. The LARP has provisioned small scale skill training and enterprise development program to the vulnerable groups based on consultation with the targeted population and local market in Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi section. In order to implement the program, local NGO to be hired by NEA to support on implementing LARP will also be assigned to play facilitators’ role on implementing income restoration and improvement program. The project office will provide a list of project affected vulnerable households to the NGOs with the key selection criteria (e.g. households having affect on residential/commercial structures, household with significant impact on land, below poverty level households, Indigenous/ethnic minor caste/women headed household etc). With the support of project office, the NGO will identify potential candidates for skill training or enterprise development activities from the vulnerable project affected households with special priority to women.

V. CONSULTATION AND STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION
5.1 The Approach
69. Stakeholders were consulted at different levels during the Resettlement Plan preparation process. The consulted stakeholders also include representatives of relevant line agencies (e.g. NEA officials, CDO, Land Measurement Office, District Forest Office, and Local NGOs etc), local people and project-affected families including the vulnerable groups, forest users groups, local level social workers, businesspersons, and other resource persons. The stakeholder consultation was found effective on disseminating information about the project, conducting socio-economic and census survey, and soliciting other information/data required to prepare the resettlement plan. A detailed consultation matrix is included in Appendix E-1.
70. Some of the major feedbacks derived from the consultation with the affected people are:
Involvement of local people in project design finalization: Being the primary stakeholders and the population directly affected by the Project, local people are eager to be kept informed and consulted with regard to finalizing Project design and implementation the resettlement plan;
Employment opportunity for local people: As far as possible local people should be encouraged and prioritized to get them involved in the Project construction activities as skilled and unskilled labors;
Fair and timely compensation: The community is positive towards the project and had no reservations provided they are consulted while finalizing the project alignment route, adequately compensated for all their losses whether partial, complete, agricultural, residential or commercial and there will not be descriptions on compensation for similar types of losses of similar value.
Special consideration: The Project should either change the technical design or provide compensation at replacement cost based on current market price and other assistance to the vulnerable households likely to have significant impact on their land/structures;
Regular monitoring: The Project office to ensure technical quality of work and compliance of contractors liability to the affected people and the Project; and
Project to support on address grievances: There should be provision of a separate unit in the Project Office to listen to the suggestions and grievances and to address them;
5.2 Disclosure of LARP
71. Disclosure of LARP to the local people could be helpful on informing them about the Project and provisions of compensations and other assistance made for the losses due to the project. NEA endorsed the LARP and they are disclosing translated (in Nepali) version of Summary Resettlement Plan to the affected households through respective District Development Committees (DDCs) or other sources/media. The approved LARP will be posted on ADB web site.
5.3 Further Consultation & Community Participation
72. Several additional rounds of consultations with the APs need to be carried out during the detail design and Project implementation phase for the effective implementation of the LARP. Such consultation should be collaborated with the district level line agencies, NGOs to be hired by the Project and local people including the APs and vulnerable groups.
34 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP:LARP
VI. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
6.1 The Setup
73. NEA will be the Executing Agency (EA) of the proposed project. The Managing Director (MD) of NEA will be the Chief In-charge for the implementation of all components under the project including the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan. The MD will form a project implementation team headed by the Directors of Transmission and Distributions Departments. NEA will assign Project Managers (PM) for the each project components under the respective Departments (Transmission and Distribution). The PM will act as Project Implementation Unit (PMU) and report to the respective Directors (Transmission and System Operation Department and Distribution and Consumer Service Department) of Executing Agency. Technical, administrative and account sections will support each Project Office headed by PM to implement the LARP. Land Acquisition Officers under the NEA or in house social scientist will also support the PM on initiating and implementing the land acquisition and compensation distribution activities as and when required.
6.1.1 Transmission and System Operation Department
74. Four Project Managers (PM) will be assigned under the Transmission and System Operation Department to implement the project activities of (i) Kohalpur-Mahendranagar Second Circuit Stringing; (ii) Middle-Marsyangdi–Damauli–Marsyangdi; (iii) Chapali-substation Construction and Chabahil-Lainchaur Underground Cabling and Sub-station Enhancement; and (iv) Expansion of Matatirtha Sub-station. Among them, PM for Kohalpur-Mahendranagar Second Circuit Middle-Marsyangdi–Marsyangdi second circuit and Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi new T/L and sub-station activities will be stationed at project locations and the other PM will be stationed at the central level as these project locations are located in Kathmandu district. The PMs will be supported by technical, administration and account sections during the overall implementation process of LARP.
6.1.2 Distribution and System Operation Department
75. Though apparently, the distribution sub-stations and switching centers to be constructed under the distribution components are scattered across the country the scale of project activities in these sub-stations/switching centers are small. In this sense, only two Project Managers (one for eastern and one for central and western districts) will be assigned to implement the distribution components in 10 different districts including Kathmandu. The PM assigned for Eastern districts will be stationed at Dhanusha to implement the project activities in Eastern districts (Jhapa, Siraha, Dhanusha, Mahottari and Sarlahi). Similarly, the PM assigned for Central and Western districts will be stationed at Pokhara and implement the project activities in Central and Western (Kathmandu, Kaski, Syanja, Parbat, and Bardiya) districts. These PMs will also be supported by technical, administration and account sections.
6.2 Roles and Responsibilities
6.2.1 The Executing Agency (EA)
76. Executing Agency (EA) will be responsible for the overall implementation of project activities and the implementation of LARP. The EA also mobilizes NEA’s Land Acquisition and Resettlement Officers11 or in-house social scientist to support, and supervise the LARP implementation activities under the project as needed. Similarly, the EA will engage local NGO/s
11 As provisioned in Land Acquisition Act 1977, NEA will recommend Government to select Land Acquisition Officer(s) to initiated and pursue acquisition related for different components as needed. 35 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP:LARP to assist PM on implementing LARP and other associated activities (e.g. HIV/AIDS, Trafficking, income restoration and improvement etc.) as per the scope of land acquisition and resettlement impact and requirement to implement other associated activities (e.g. information awareness campaign to AP, HIV/AIDS, income restoration etc).
6.2.2 The Project Office
77. Project Managers (PM) will head the project Office. The PM will regularly update EA on the progress of LARP implementation activities. The PM will coordinates with the Chief District Officers (CDOs)12 and formally request for the formation of Land Acquisition and Compensation Fixation Committee (LACFC) to pursue the verification, valuation and compensation distribution activities of the project. Land acquisition and resettlement related documents prepared for the project will be handed over to the CDO. The PM to assist CDO on the valuation, verification and finalization affected assets and APs. The PM also to involve local NGO, wherever applicable to implement the LARP, and associated activities. The PM will also coordinate with the CDO to establish Grievance Redressal Committee in accordance to Clause 11 of Land Acquisition Act 2034 (1977) (see chapter 6.2.3). The PM will update and report the EA, district level line agencies and form a local level committee as per the need and scope of resettlement activities of the projects.13
6.2.3 Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)
78. There are provisions under the Land Acquisition Act of Nepal – 2034 (1977) to allow unsatisfied persons (i.e. APs) to file or represent their cases to the CDO and raise objection against acquisition by a notice to Ministry of Home and get redressal under the LA Act Clause 11 Section 1,2, and 3. 79. As stipulated in Clause 11 of the Land Acquisition Act 1977, CDO is responsible to give decisions on the grievances related to land acquisition and resettlement issues. In order the facilitate the process, the PM will coordinate and support the CDO as a member secretary on addressing the grievances. With the view to reduce the pressure of grievances in LARP implementation process, general issues, such as; family members share on the amount received from compensation, demands of other financial grants and assistance. etc will be handled and addressed by PM, or also with the help of other district / local level, stakeholders (e.g. district level line agencies, local people, representatives of local level political parties, APs etc). The organized form of such stakeholder groups on deciding such general issues is also known as Grievance Readdressal Committee (GRC), and use to be represented by different stakeholders depending upon the scope and complexities. The other members to be included in the GRC includes representatives from the district level line agencies (Land Revenue Office, Land Measurement Office, Municipality or Village Development Committee, District Development Committee, District Agriculture Office, District Forest Office, etc), Community Based Organizations (CBOs)/NGOs in the districts, representatives of affected/ vulnerable households including women, local representatives (eg. school techers, health workers, businessmen, local resource persons etc), local leaders and other relevant persons. Figure 2 provides an organogram of the GRC.
12 There are 75 administrative districts in Nepal. Chief District Officers (CDO) are the Chief Administrative Units of the districts. As per the Land acquisition Act 1977, CDO the legally authorized person to implement the land acquisition activities under respective districts. 13 For example; PM involved in implementing land acquisition activities for distribution sub-station or switching centres may not require to involve NGOs as the area of land to be acquired for such project activities is maximum about 0.70 ha of land

80. However, there could be several other issues that may also be emerged and may go up-to the level of CDO and even up-to court. As provisioned in the Land Acquisition Act, issues related to APs objection on the acquisition and the compensation rate may also be formally complained to the Ministry of Home through Chief District Officer (CDO). Clause 11 and 18 of Land Acquisition Act illustrates that, the Ministry of Home, seeking the view of CDO (if necessary), decides on such grievances and the decision is considered as of the decision of District Court. However, complains and cases related to the issues on ownerships, will be forwarded to the court and compensation will be given as per the court decision.
6.2.4 Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)
81. ADB guidelines, suggests to involve local NGO/CBOs as local partners while implementing the LARP. It is in the sense that local NGOs with experience, knowledge of, and contact with APs can assist a resettlement-implementing agency in many ways. It is anticipated that involvement of NGOs in land acquisition and resettlement activities is considered useful with respect to:
o Identifying the APs and updating land acquisition and resettlement record o Planning compensation distribution activities o Coordinating with the APs and local level institutions o Developing information campaigns and community participation; o Strengthening local institutions and community self-reliance, and o Gathering and sharing information and avoiding potential problems; o Planning and implementing income generation schemes and awareness program against HIV/AIDS and Human/Drugs Trafficking o Delivering services to hard-to-reach communities in a more efficient and cost effective manner. 82. However, involvement of NGOs in land acquisition and resettlement activities may be determined by several factors, that also include; (i) scope of resettlement activities and extent of impact, (ii) complexities of tasks (iii) project locations, (iii) scope of incorporating other associated programs (e.g. income restoration, HIV/AIDS, information and awareness campaign etc). In consideration to such factors, there appears scope of involving local NGO on implementing LARP in Dumre-Damauli-New Marsyangdi new T/L and sub-station construction component. As shown by the census data an estimated number of 225 households likely to be directly affected due to
37 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP:LARP land acquisition and resettlement activities in the location of this investment component. The affected households also include vulnerable households (irrespective of the type and extent of loss). As a Transmission Sub-station is also be going to be constructed under the component there is scope of implementing awareness program against HIV/AIDS, Human & Drug trafficking and so on.
6.3 Role and Responsibilities
83. NGOs will assist the Project Office on informing people about the likely resettlement effects and solicit their views regarding compensation and relocation options, and facilitate both the APs and Project Office. NGO with the support of Project Office also launch information and awareness program on health safety and hazard related to electricity and transmission line and HIV/AIDS and Human Trafficking in the settlements along the corroder of Dumre-Damauli new transmission line and sub-station construction areas. The NGOs will also be responsible for execution and monitoring the progress of the works related to implementation of LARP. A Sample Terms of Reference (ToR) of the NGO is incorporated in Appendix F-1.
84. Institutional frameworks to implement the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Activities have also been prepared in consultation with the NEA Officials in Distribution and Transmission Departments. The figure of institutional framework is given in Figure 3.

6.4 Implementation Schedule
85. The Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) is expected to be implemented from the Third quarter of 2009 immediately after the loan negotiation. In order to meet the targets set- forth, advance actions such as; establishment of the Project Office (PO), formation of Land Acquisition and Compensation Fixation Committee (LACFC) under the CDOs and hiring NGO will be carried out in the early stage immediately after the loan negotiation. The Project will provide adequate advance notification to the APs and will pay their due resettlement benefits, including shifting and income restoration/assistance prior to start of construction work. Table 6-1 provides tentative schedule to implement the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan prepared based on project implementation schedule as envisaged in the Aide Memories circulated by ADB on 27 March 2009. Contractors for civil works to be mobilized only after the completion of compensation, land acquisition and resettlement activities.

6.5 Staff Training on Resettlement Implementation
86. Staffs to be involved in land acquisition and resettlement activities, including officials of land revenue office of the Project districts and NGO staff will be provided a brief orientation and training in ADB’s resettlement policy, Land Acquisition Act, Electricity Act/Regulation and other relevant Act, regulation and policies. The training session will focus on (i) public consultation and participation, (ii) Entitlements and compensation & assistance disbursement mechanisms; (iii) grievance redressal; (iv) income restoration and improvement (v) HIV/AIDS and Trafficking (vi) Resettlement data-base management; and (vii) monitoring of resettlement operations.
6.6 Resettlement Data Bank
87. A detail measurement survey of the affected assets will be carried out during the detail design in order to prepare an updated inventory of affected assets and persons. All this information will be collected by the respective Project offices, and NGOs and computerized by the Project Office. This data bank will form a basis for implementation, monitoring and reporting of the LARP implementation. 40 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP:LARP

VII. COMPENSATION ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT BUDGET
88. All the costs required to implement this land acquisition and resettlement plan for Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project to be borned by GON/NEA. Both the Government as well as NEA is committed to set aside and provide the respective amounts of funds to implement the LARP for the Project and guarantee to meet unforeseen obligations in excess budget estimates, if required.
7.1 Valuation of Affected Assets and Fixation of Compensation Rate
89. Compensation Fixation Committee (CFC) to be formed under the Land Acquisition Act 1977 and Electricity Act 1993 to determine compensation for the acquired/restricted assets and associated loss due to the project. According to Clause 13 (2) of Land Acquisition Act, and Electricity Rule 1993 Clause 88, the other members to be included in the committee are (i) Chief of the District Land Administration Office or Land Revenue Office, (ii) Chief of the Project, (iii) Representative of District Development Committee (DDC). The Land Acquisition Act 1977 also ensures separate compensation rate for those having complete loss of land, and those having partial affect and also land for land compensation (if Government land is available in the project area/VDC) in Clause 14. Clause 16 the Land Acquisition Act, further stipulates to consider; (i) Government guidelines, and policies published in different time; (ii) likely losses to be beared by the affected people; (iii) current market value of acquired land; (iv) value of affected structures, crops, land etc, and (v) losses caused due to relocation/shifting of the affected people, while fixing the compensation rate. In line with the Land Acquisition Act, Electricity Act/Rule and ADB policy, this preliminary land acquisition and resettlement cost has been calculated with a view to estimate the likely cost to implement the land acquisition and resettlement plan prepared for the project. The estimated cost includes compensation for the affected assets including land and structures and other financial assistance/support to be provided to the APs and vulnerable groups and other associated costs.
7.2 Valuation of Affected Assets and Associated Costs
7.2.1 Valuation of Land
90. Cost for land has been calculated based on the current market price derived through socio- economic survey of project affect families, prevailing land transaction rate in the project locations, and consultation with NEA officials at central and district level and local key informants in project locations.
91. The principle adopted while estimating compensation for land are; (i) hundred percent compensation based on local market price for permanent acquisition, and (ii) ten percent of the total value of affected land based on current market price for the land restricted to maintain the RoW of new transmission line as being practiced by NEA while compensating in previous projects. However, considering the social sensitivity on restricting land for RoW, an additional amount (10 % of the compensation cost) has also been calculated as contingency in the total estimated compensation cost to meet the other unanticipated compensation cost and administrative expenses required to implement the LARP. The current market rate of the affected land as responded by the APs during census and socio-economic survey is given in Appendix G-1.
7.2.2 Valuation of Structures
92. The rate determined by Government of Nepal, Department of Housing has been taken as a basis to estimate the cost of affected structures. The Department of Housing is the authorized
42 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP:LARP
Government body for the valuation of costs for structures through the Government Gazette (Nepal Rajpatra, Section IV, number 50, Date 2045/12/6 (1988). The Department annually updates its rate based on current market price.
7.2.3 Valuation of Affected Crops
93. The average quantity of crop loss has been estimated based on technical design and estimated land area to be acquired and affected due to the project. Compensation for the affected crops has been calculated based on Government standard rate14 taking into account of major crops, average production and value of produced crops on market rate.
7.2.4 Valuation of Affected Private Trees
94. The number of affected trees and costs for compensation for affected trees for Dumre- Damauli- New Mrsyangdi section has been calculated based on socio-economic data. For other project the same is estimated during the field investigation and cost has been calculated in lump- sum basis assuming NRs 1,000 per tree in average as recommended by local people.
7.2.5 Valuation of Shifting/Transportation Allowances
95. Shifting/transportation allowances to the households having affect on their structures to move the household goods and materials of demolished house has been estimated to be NRs 20,000 per affected structure based on consultation with APs.
7.2.6 Valuation of Land Required for Replacement
96. The resettlement plan has also provisioned land replacement compensation at market price to the households having significant RoW impact on the residential land causing complete restriction to built residential house in the affected land, and if the APs don’t have alternative land to built their house (subject to be confirmed by compensation fixation committee).
7.2.7 Valuation of Affected Business and Shifting Cost
97. Compensation for the loss of business and shifting allowances to the affected business has been calculated based on the estimate made by affected persons. The estimated cost covers the average monthly income from the affected business, time require to find the alternative premises, and shifting/transportation cost.
7.2.8 Estimation for Income Restoration and Improvement Activities
98. The average cost for income restoration and improvement have been calculated based on consultation with the APs asking minimum amount required to get involved in small scale skill training at least up-to three months, or to initiate small enterprise development activities like; cattle farming, fish farming, keeping small shops etc.

VIII. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
8.1 Need for Monitoring
101. Monitoring is required as the back-up support for the successful implementation of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP). ADB guideline suggests to involve local NGOs to play key role on implementing LARP. The LARP implementation activities will be monitored internally and externally. Generally, internal monitoring is conducted by Project Office and external agencies or independent consultants undertake the task of external monitoring.
8.2 Internal Monitoring
102. The Project Office and NGO will be responsible for internal monitoring. The LARP includes indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives under the resettlement program, which can be categorized as follows:
Process indicators: Includes project inputs, expenditures, staff deployments, etc.;
Output indicators: Results in terms of numbers of affected persons compensated and resettled, incomes restored, additional assistance provided etc; and
Impact indicators: Relates to the long-term effect/impact of the project on people’s lives in the project-affected area.
103. The first two types of indicators, related to process and immediate outputs and results, will be monitored internally by the Project Office. The Project Office will collect this information from the project site and assimilate in the form of a monthly progress report to assess the progress and results of LARP implementation, and adjust the work program, where necessary, in case of any delays or problems. Specific activities under RP implementation that will be monitored internally by Project Office are the following:
o Information campaign and consultation with APs o Status of land acquisition and payments on land compensation o Compensation for affected land, structures and other assets o Relocation/shifting of APs o Payments for loss of income o Income restoration activities
104. The Project Office will also be responsible for monitoring day-to-day resettlement activities with the support of NGO. Baseline socio-economic census and the land acquisition data provides the necessary benchmark for field level monitoring. Field level monitoring will be carried out through (i) review of census information; (ii) consultation and informal interviews with the APs; (iii) in-depth case studies; (iv) informal sample survey of APs; (v) key informant interviews; and (vi) public meetings at community level.
105. A performance data sheet will be developed to monitor the project at the field level. Quarterly reports will be received from the field offices and Project Office will be responsible for
48 Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project SSTA 7176 NEP:LARP overall project level monitoring. Also, Resettlement Officer or the NEA in-house social scientist will monitor the LARP implementation and report on a quarterly basis to EA on the progress.
8.3 External Monitoring
106. An external monitoring agency will be engaged by NEA to carry out independent monitoring on bi-annual basis that also include post Project evaluation. External monitoring is carried out through outside researcher or consulting agency or NGOs, or through independent consultants. The external monitoring will be focused on:
- Evaluating social and economic impact of land acquisition and economic rehabilitation of the APs;
- Verifying the objective of enhancement or at least restoration of income levels and standard of living of the APs have been met;
- Suggesting modifications in land acquisition and economic rehabilitation, where necessary, to achieve the principles and objectives as set before; and
- Making final ex-post evaluation to ensure all resettlement and Land acquisition activities have been completed; any problem issues identified are followed-up (including recommendation of mitigation measures for the budget); and learning lesson for such Projects must be recorded.
- More specifically following activities will be required to be performed by the External Monitoring Agency:
Verification of internal monitoring – to ensure the appropriateness of activities being carried out by PIU and the field offices;
Demographic baseline and biannual household surveys – to monitor progress from a pre- Project, pre-resettlement benchmark.
Evaluation of delivery and impacts of entitlements – to determine if they are as per the approved Resettlement Plan.
Evaluation of consultation and grievance procedures - especially levels of public awareness of grievance procedures, access by AP’s and households to information and rapid conflict resolution.
Evaluation of actual operations of grievance committee - assisting APs as required and acting as observers.
Declaration of successful implementation – summing up the outcome of activities on completion of all entitlements distribution and resettlement activities.
Recommend follow-up actions for the EA - relating to outstanding actions required to complete achievement of objectives of the RP and resettlement policies, additional mitigation measures for APs, if required, and timing and budget of these additional measures.
107. Such external monitoring will be carried out on a biannual basis throughout the Project period. The external agency will directly report their findings to both NEA and ADB. The ToR of External Monitoring is included in Appendix I-1.

8.4 Reporting Requirements
108. The Project Managers responsible for supervision and implementation of LARP will prepare monthly progress reports on resettlement activities and submit to the EA, and quarterly reports to EA and ADB. The external monitoring agency will submit bi-annual reviews directly to ADB and determine whether or not resettlement goals have been achieved, more importantly analysis of whether livelihoods and living standards have been restored/enhanced is mandatory and suggestion of suitable recommendations for improvement must be made. The external monitoring agency will also carry out a final ex-post evaluation to ensure that all resettlement and Land acquisition activities have been completed. Any problems or issues identified are followed-up (including recommendation of mitigation measures and supplementary budget); and learning from such issues must be recorded which would help to deal with issues such as these more effectively.

Appendix C-1 Key Socio-economic Characteristics of the Affected Households
C-1-1 Households by Family Types
Of the total affected household interviewed 147 (about 84%) households are headed by male and about 30.46% affected household have joint family system followed by 68.87% nuclear, and 0.66% Single family. The proportion of Ethnic/Indigenous and Dalits (Minor Caste) groups seems to be higher (66, 86%) of out of the total project affected households. However, the extent of impact to such groups appears to be negligible as only 67406 (132.50 ropani) of land likely to be permanently acquired for the construction work. Moreover, the Indigenous/Ethnic people in the sub-project area are assimilated with the main social stream sharing common social and cultural norms and values as well as language and benefiting from the similar economic opportunities. Consultation with some of the indigenous/ethnic people in the study area has shown that are also found involved in different occupation and job as the advantage caste groups (e.g. police, army, civil servant, owners of boarding schools, business etc). Table 1 provides distribution of households by family types.

C-1-7 Poverty Status
In Nepal, poverty is defined in absolute term based on the requirement of minimum subsistence level rather than per capita income. CBS has calculated National Poverty Line (NPL) to be NRs. 7695.70 per person per year based on the Basic Minimum Need (BMN) required for the minimum subsistence of an individual As revealed by the socio-economic data of the total affected households, only 2 (2.28%) household have been identified as Below Poverty Level (BPL) households with per capita income, less than NRs. 7695.70 per person per year (Table 7). The lower percentage of BPL households is due to availability of better economic opportunities and remittance in the project area. Table 7: Below Poverty Line Affected Households

Migration to India, overseas, and other parts of country - mostly for job is on the major reasons of better household income in the project location. As the data shows, family members from about 84% household have their family members migrated mostly for employment and education.

C-1-8 Gender Role on Decision Making
Women’s role on decision making on the household matters have been found almost confined in the matters related to household chores and limited on property ownership, property selling, cash keeping and transaction. The census data shows that women are solely responsible for deciding on Household Chores whereas it is only about 10.7 percent on the matters related to owning property and 8.7%, on cash transaction.

C-1-9 Use of Electricity
All hundred percent project affected households are connected to electricity. Among them about 50% households are using electricity also for entertainment followed by education and communication (21.7%), fan cooler (18%), cloth pressing (18%) and others (Table 10). Here it may be interesting to note that use of electricity for cooking have been reported only by 1.7% households for which job women are solely responsible. As reported, high electricity tariff, and inefficient services are some of main reasons for not using electricity for cooking. Supply of improved and reliable electricity in a way affordable to the community may significantly contribute on reducing women’s drudgery especially associated with cookery on smoky environment.

Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project I Terms of Reference for External Monitoring Agency
Background
Nepal Electricity Authority is implementing a Project, Nepal Electricity Connectivity and Energy Efficiency Project consists of six investment components and one component on provision of expert services. The investment components are; (i) Transmission network capacity augmentation, (ii) Distribution network capacity augmentation, (iii) Generation rehabilitation, (iv) Distribution network loss reduction, (v) Assistance for public private partnership (PPP) in distribution, (vi) Energy efficient lighting, and (vii) Solar-powered street lighting. The Project Preparation Technical Assistance (PPTA) to prepare feasibility studies to improve; (i) grid connectivity (ii) efficiency of electricity distribution, and (iii) demand-side management, through appropriate interventions to ease the supply and shortage constraints in the proposed Project locations and even in other different parts of the country. The proposed Projects studied under the TA to be funded by ADB loan and implemented by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).
The Project is expected to enhance the opportunity for hydropower development in the region, reduction of outage in the distribution network, and reduction of total network loss, supply of efficient and reliable energy are some of the key expected benefits of the Project. In addition, it is also anticipated that implementation of the Project may bring several positive impacts in the socio- economic scenario of the Project districts thereby contributing towards poverty reduction in the area, for example; creation of employment opportunities in the production sectors due to reliable and efficient electricity supply, and employment opportunity during construction period, are some of the other tangible benefits of the Project.
