1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
1.1.1 General Overview
This Cameroon CompensationPlan (Plan) was developed for the Cameroon portion of the Chad Export Project (the Project)to complywith Cameroonlegislation and to meet World Bank Directiveson compensation. The Plan'sbasic goals and principlesare shared by the Republic of Cameroon,the CameroonOil TransportationCompany (COTCO), and the World Bank.
An earlier version of this Planentitled CameroonCompensation Plan, Chad Export Project,' and dated June 1998 was distributedboth nationallyand internationallyfor comments. In addition, extensive consultationhas occurred in rural communitiesconcerning the Plan during 1998. Commentsreceived were assessedand adjustments made as presentedin this final Plan.
The Plan is one of the environmental managementtools defined in the Environmental ManagementPlan (EMP). The EMP describesthe implementationprocedures for the mitigation measuresproposed in the October 1997version of the EnvironmentalAssessment (EA) 2 study that was conductedfor the Project.
The Republicof Cameroonwill participatein the Projectby:
* Makingthe land neededfor the constructionand operationof the CameroonTransportation System(CTS) availableto the Projectin compliancewith applicableRepublic of Cameroon legislationthrough allocationof that land after paymentof compensationcosts. These lands shall be incorporatedinto the Private Property of the State; in addition, authorizationsto occupyPublic Propertywill be grantedon an as-neededbasis. * Acquiringinterest in COTCOand participatingin Projectfinancing with a loan from the World Bank and/or other lenders.
This Plan describes compensationto be paid under Republicof Cameroonlaw in force at the time of the drafting of the Plan and supplemental compensationto be paid by COTCO. Supplemental compensation is the difference between the amount due under Cameroon legislation and the amount due to meet the intent of the World Bank directives concerning compensation.Supplemental compensation applies only as specifiedin this Plan.
The earlier version of this Plan, entitled CameroonCompensation Plan, Chad Export Project, June 1998was issued by the COTCO/ESSOPipeline Company. 2 Dames & Moore, October1997, EnvironmentalAssessment, Chad Export Project: Cameroon Portion, COTCOlEsso Pipeline Company.

The Plan calls for fair and adequate compensation for adversely affected individuals, households, and communities. The compensationprocess will be monitored to ensure the intent of the Plan is being met. Early Projectdesign and siting of facilities avoided populated settlements. Consequently,disruption of local peopleswill be limited.
1.1.2 ProjectOutline
The objectiveof the Chad Export Project is to produce,transport, and sell oil from three oil fields in the Doba Basinof southern Chad to world marketsin a mannercompatible with the balanced environmentaland economicneeds of the peopleof Chad and Cameroon(Figures 1-1 and 1-2).
The Project has therefore been designed and will be carried out to preserve the environment and the living standardsof local communities.
The Project will be implemented in a manner that recognizesthe following socio-cultural characteristicsof the Project area:
- The predominanceof oral tradition, * A low literacyrate, * Limitedexperience with projectsof this type.
The Project will be designed, built, and operated by COTCO. Even though a Declarationof Public Purpose (DPP) will be issued for the Project, it is still a private venture and COTCO's activities (transport of hydrocarbons)cannot be considered as a public service (Article 2 of Decree97/1116).
The Projectwill require about 3,500 hectares(ha) 3 of land for pipelineconstruction and facilities within Cameroon,most only temporarilyduring construction.About 3,200 ha of this land will be used for three to six months; another 175 ha for a maximum of two to three years during construction. The remaining 125 ha, or approximatelyone percent,will be permanentlyclosed to public use during the estimated25 to 30 year operationsphase. To accomplishthis, land needed only during constructionwill be reclaimedso that it can be returned to its prior use as describedin the EMP.
The majority of the land requiredfor the Projectwill be neededfor constructionof the pipeline's "Land Easement." This constructioneasement is estimatedto be about 3,200 hectares,which generally representsa 30 m wide strip of land extendingbetween Kribi on Cameroon'sAtlantic Coast and the Cameroon boarder with Chad. In areas of difficult construction and at river crossings,the Land Easementmay be expandedto 50 or 60 m. Followingconstruction of the

The vast majority of the land neededfor constructionand operationof the pipeline is currently classifiedas NationalLand by the Republicof Cameroon. As part of the Republicof Cameroon'sexpropriation process, this landwill be convertedto PrivateProperty of the State. Althoughthe land classificationwill change,the Republicof Cameroonis in favor of utilizationof this land by pre-constructionusers.
For additionalinformation on Projectfacilities which will includethe constructionof ancillary facilities, including pump stations,telecommunications systems, storage facilities, the terminal and all ancillaryequipment, see Section2.0 and the Project Description(Supporting Documents - Volume 1).

1.2 PLANNINGFOR COMPENSATION
1.2.1 Concept of SupplementalCompensation
One of the fundamentalprinciples underlying this Plan, and resultingfrom the specificnature of the Project and the special context of its financing by the World Bank Group (WBG), is the concept of SupplementalCompensation for damages,which the Project will implementwhen Cameroonianlaw providesfor a compensationlevel that is insufficientto meet the requirements of World Bank directives.
The EMP and CompensationPlan provisionsare applicableonly to the Project.
1.2.2 ApplicableLegislation And ContractualDocuments
Referencedocuments and enactmentapplicable to the acquisition,allocation, and use of land, as well as Compensation(provided by law), in connection with the Project, include the internationalagreements, laws, ordinances,decrees, ministerial orders, contractualdocuments, and studieslisted in AppendicesE and F.
1.2.3 World Bank Directives
In addition to the provisions contained in the documents and enactment's listed in Appendix E, the Project shall apply the measures, described in the EMP and Plan. Additional requirements by the World Bank, that were mutually agreed upon by both the Republic of Cameroon and
Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 1-3 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT
COTCO, are aimed at ensuring that the Compensation Policy meets the requirements of the following World Bank directives:
* Operational Directive 4.01 (Environmental Assessment)
* Operational Directive 4.30 (Involuntary Resettlement)
* Operational Directive 4.20 (Indigenous People)
* OPIBP 4.11 (Cultural Property)
1.2.4 Goals and Objectives
The overall goal of this Plan is to ensure fair and adequate compensation to affected individual and communities. The overall guiding principles of the Plan are:
Philosophy The local populationsees the compensationas fair and equitablebased on: - Localcultural values, - Peoplereceiving what is perceivedas fair. . Compensationis as transparentas practicable. .

1.2.6 Triggersfor InvoluntaryResettlement
1.2.6.1 World Bank Policiesand ProceduresRelated to Resettlement
World Bank guidelinesrequire that the potentialfor involuntaryresettlement be considered as per World Bank OperationalDirective 4.30 (Table 1-3). This policy considersany movementof individualor householdinvestments such as housesand fields as resettlement.
For the purposesof this Plan,the term resettlementwill be usedto refer to circumstanceswhere families would need to resettle outside of their home community. This effort would typically involve constructionof new housing,movement and reestablishmentof all agriculturalfields, as well as other economicpursuits. Such a movewould also require integrationinto a new social environment.
Alternatively,the term relocationwill be used to refer to circumstanceswhere an individual or family stays in the same community,but may need to move a few of their fields or possibly a house to a new location. The overall socio-economicimpact is not considered to be as substantialas resettlement.
In Cameroon, no families have been identifiedwho would need to be resettled as a result of Project land needs. This is a result of the Project's successful efforts to avoid populated settlements along the pipeline route. In several cases the pipeline was rerouted to avoid a
May 1999 1-6 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 single structure. In addition, fixed facility sites were sited to avoid houses, agricultural fields (if possible), and in some cases on lands which were not claimed by any surrounding settlements.
However, less than 10 families may need to have some of their fields and/or houses relocated. These families will be potentially eligible for relocation grants and assistance because of Project land needs.
As per Operational Directive 4.30 no resettlement plan is needed because:
Where only a few people (e.g., about 100 to 200 individuals) are to be relocated, appropriate compensation for assets, logistical support for moving, and a relocation grant may be the only requirements.
However, the principles on which compensation is to be based are the same as for larger groups (World Bank Operational Directive 4.30, page 2 of 8).
The World Bank uses a criterion of 25 percent loss of a family's total available land due to the Project as a potential trigger for economic hardship and hence the potential eligibility of the family for assistance under the Bank's resettlement policy.
In Section 1.2.6.2, the potential for resettlement or relocation associated with different aspects of the Project are discussed in greater detail. For each aspect, Project land needs for construction of different facilities are summarized in Tables 1-3 and 1-4. Additional information can be found in Section 2.0 and the Project Description (Supporting Documents - Volume 1).
As will be described later (Section 4.4, Appendix B, and Appendix L) socio-economic studies have been completed at many of these locations. On the basis of these studies less than 10 families were considered to be potentially eligible for relocation assistance.
1.2.6.2 Assessment of Potential Eligibility for Resettlement as a Result of Project Land Needs
The potential for resettlement, resulting in either resettlement or relocation assistance, was evaluated based on land use and ability to reuse land following construction by the previous users.
Pipeline Land Easement (about 3.200 ha)
In the case of this Project, no individuals or families have been identified as having the potential to meet the criteria that would trigger WBG resettlement policy on land to be occupied for less than one year. All of this temporarily used land falls within the Pipeline Land Easement and constitutes about 95 percent, or 3,200 ha of all land needed for the pipeline easement and fixed facility sites.

The WBG resettlementcriterion of 25 percent of land loss creating economic hardship and hence triggering resettlement was evaluated. Project use of the land in the pipeline Land Easementwas considerednot to triggerthis policy because:
* The Republicof Cameroonis in favor of makingthis land availableafter constructionto pre- constructionusers. * Almost all land will be usedfor less than six monthsand reclaimed. * All land users will be compensatedfor loss of investments. * Communitiesand individualswill be compensatedfor loss of wild resources.
Fixed FacilitySites (about275 ha)
Land needs at the fixed facility sites, includingpump stations and storageyards generallyrange from one to two years (175 ha) to the duration of the Project (100 ha; see Section 2.0). Because land will be used for more than one year, the potential for economic hardship was considered.
During the socioeconomicsurveys of the Project'sfixed facilitysites, several families have been identified who may require assistance to relocate fields within their home community. To minimize impacts on the affected individual, COTCO will implementa process to provide as much advance notificationas possibleand to providecompensation in a timely manner (Table 1-2).
Road Easements(Direct ImpactArea-about 350 ha)
The inventory of resourcesto be compensatedwithin the direct constructionimpact zone along the road easement have not been completed. However, preliminaryassessments have been completedto estimatethe potentialthat may trigger the applicationof WBG resettlementpolicy in the direct impact zone of the Projectsince many of these road shoulderswill be maintained for environmentand safety purposesduring the constructionperiod. In fact, reuse of the land for its originaluse is in the long term impractical.
Most impactsto compensableresources will result from cutting bush to improve visibility, and regradingor improvingthe shouldersalong both sides of existing roadway. As discussedin the ProjectDescription and Section2.0 of this Planthe shoulderswill be clearedand recontouredto improve drainageand improvevisibility.
Prior to construction,compensation will be paid for crops, trees, and wild resourceswithin the direct construction impact zone. Some fields may need to be relocated outside of the direct impact zone. No resettlementis expected as a result of economichardship due to loss of land because:
May 1999 1-8 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3
* Populationdensity is extremelylow. * The constructionimpact corridor is extremelynarrow. * Virtually no land pressureexists. * Reroutesare plannedaround densely populatedareas.
Some houses near the edges of some villages may need to be relocated but this is not expected to trigger WBG resettlementpolicy. Impacts to houses are expected to be limited becauseof:
* Rerouting, due to safety issues, around villages where the existing roadway is already narrow and lined with housesand markets. * Reductionof roadwidths.
* Narrowing roadway shoulders where appropriate, or use of alternative techniques for shoulderconstruction
In sum, the Project will provide assistanceto individualsand families in those cases where WBG resettlementpolicy is triggered. However,based on completionof over 95 percent of the land survey for all land needs, less than 10 families have been identified for relocation. This information,combined with informationobtained during the preliminaryassessment of the direct impact zone of the roadway easements indicatesthat Project assistance needs will fall well below the thresholds of 100 to 200 individualsestablished by the WBG as triggeringthe need for a resettlementplan. In the case of this Project,these individualswill be providedfair and adequatecompensation as per this Plan and other assistanceas neededto re-establishfields and/orrebuild houses as part of relocationwithin the same communities.
1.3 CURRENTSTATUS OF LAND ACQUISITIONAND COMPENSATIONACTIVITIES
At the time this Plan was updated,the Project'sCLS had been completed. About 3,500 ha of land was surveyed along the 890 km-long route. Inventoriesof crops, cultivated trees, and other compensable resources had been recorded for about 3,000 individual land users as describedin Section4.2 and AppendixB.
The work of the Republicof Cameroon'sVerification and ValuationCommission (WC) had also been initiated. Meetings have been or will be held in each of the 238 villageswhere individuals have been identifiedas eligible for compensation.The VVCs work at the Departmentlevel has been largely completed in the 11 Departmentscrossed by the pipeline. The balance of the Commission'swork is expectedto be completedby the middle of 1999.
Additional work is scheduled to review and adjust, if necessary supplementalcompensation paymentsfor several crops, includingcocoa, coffee, raffia palms,and manioc.

Indicate that effective resettlement involves: * Compensation for lost assets in full consultation with affected families. * Assistance with resettlement and support during the transition period. * Assistance in re-establishing or improving the former standard of living. * Sufficient community participation to protect social fabric.
Operations Manual Statement 2.33
Establishes two important goals: * Resettled population should at least regain its prior socioeconomic status within a reasonable transition period. * No environmental degradation ensues from the resettlement process.
Operations Policy Note 10.08
Gives supplemental guidelines for the financial/economic aspects of resettlement: Resettlers should benefit from any economic development brought about by the Project that led to resettlement. Options should be offered to enable people to enhance, not just replace, their productive/income-earning opportunities.

This Section describes Project land needs in Cameroon associated with construction and operationsof the Project. About 3,5004hectares 5 (ha) will be requiredduring Project pipeline constructionand for fixed facility sites. Most of this land use is associatedwith temporary pipeline construction. Almost all land will be reclaimedand made available for most pre- constructionuses. The pipelineeasement and associatedfacilities havebeen sited to avoid populatedsettlements. However,there is a possibilitythat some houses and ancillarystructures may be impacted by the Projectand will need to be relocatedwithin the same village. BecauseProject land needs in most areas of Cameroonare generally small relativeto availablelands, it is estimatedthat no familieswill be resettledto newvillages because of Projectland needs. Based on informationgathered during the CLS, future adjustmentsin location or total land needed for the pipeline route, facility sites, special constructionareas, and temporary access roads may be madeto avoid populatedareas. 2.2 EXISTINGLAND USES The majority of land in the pipeline easement is undevelopedforest, secondary forest and savannalands. The predominantuse is agriculture. It is estimatedbetween 15 to 20 percentof the pipelineland are in active agricultureor activefallow. The pipelineeasement crosses lands of 238 villagesin 11 separate Departmentsin Cameroon. For more detailed informationon land uses and cultural characteristicsof villages along the route refer to Section4.2 andAppendix B. 2.3 PROJECTLAND NEEDS 2.3.1 Land Neededfor Project Construction and Operations Land needed for the Projectfor pipeline constructionand fixed facility sites is estimatedto be almost 3,500 ha as detailedin Table 2-1. Of this estimated3,500 ha, only about 125 ha will be neededfor permanentfacilities duringthe operationsphase of the Project. In addition, a 10 to 4 Thisestimate is basedon currentinformation. 5 To convertfrom hectares:to squarekilometers (multiply by 0.0100);to squaremiles (multiplyby 0.0039);to acres(multiply by 2.4682).

A 30 m wide Land Easement for construction of the pipeline will be needed from the Republic of Cameroon. In areas of difficult construction, such as those areas with steep slopes, and road and railroad crossings, the width of the Land Easement may be expanded to 50 m depending upon the terrain. At river crossings, the Land Easement will be extended to 60 m. The pipeline itself will be buried between 1.0 to 1.5 m below surface. In rocky areas, the final depth would be 0.5 m. Construction activities at any given location along the pipeline should last approximately three months. This period corresponds to the time required to clear the land; excavate the trench; lay, weld, inspect, and test the pipe; and backfill the trench. Once construction is complete in one area, the construction crew will move to the next construction location. 6 The figures are subject to change. The final figures will be jointly established by COTCO and the CameroonianParty. May1999 2-2 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 The land will be reclaimedto allow prior users of traditionallyused land to resumetheir former activities. The only areas to be retainedsolely for the Projectwill amountto about one hectare neededfor the valve stationsand the onshore-offshoretie-in. Following completion of pipeline construction, COTCO will submit new coordinatesto the Republicof Cameroonfor the permanentsystem easement. This easementis about 10 to 15 m in width. COTCOwill maintaina permanent10 to 15 m wide system easementover the pipelinefor long- term maintenance and operation of the Cameroon Transportation System. This system easementis expectedto be approximatelyhalf the size of the original Land Easementor about 1,350 ha. During operations,this 10 to 15 m wide strip of land will be made availablefor most pre-constructionuses, but with the restriction that the use not interfere with the normal functioning and maintenanceof the pipeline. Some restrictions are necessary, since the pipeline must be periodicallyinspected and the easementmust be kept clear of large bushes and trees. Cultivationof crops will be permittedprovided digging and plowingdo not exceed 60 cm in depth. Constructionof houses,animal sheds, and other structureswill not be allowed.

The actual routes of these roads have yet to be determined but it is estimated they will have a 4 m wide easement and will be about 15 km in length. New roads will be built at locations listed in Table 2-6. 2.3.5.3 Storage Yards Access Roads Seven new access roads totaling about 3,000 m in length will be built. It is estimated each road will have about a 20 m wide easement. Each road will be about 7 m in width. New access roads will be built at locations listed in Table 1-3. 2.3.5.4 New Railroad Sidings Four new railroad sidings will be built and have a total estimated length of 3,000 m. The estimated width of the easement within the storage yards will be ten m. New railroad sidings will be built at locations listed in Table 1-3. 2.4 LAND TO BE USED FOR IMPROVEMENT OF PUBLIC ROADS Roads in northern Cameroon will be upgraded to permit cargo transportation from the railhead at Ngaoundal to the Mbere River bridge at the Cameroon - Chad border. The 300-km road (survey length 298.3 km) from Mbere to Meidougou will be upgraded and widened to 7 m.'° The road easement will vary in width depending on the nature of terrain and adjacent land use, but is estimated to average 20 m. Land needed for upgrade of the public road system is either already Public Property or will be converted to Public Property if new road easements are needed. New roads to be built include: • Access to Mbere bridge 5.2 km * Mbal-Mboum bypass 2.8 km * Mbang-Rey bypass 0.5 km o Total Length 8.5 km '° This Public Propertyincludes: * National and provincial motorways,and a 40 meter wide easement on each side of the road centerline;the easementwidth measuredfrom the externaledge of the sidewalkis reducedto 10 and 5 meters in agglomerationsand inside towns, respectively. * Departmentalroads and an easementof 25 meterson each side of the road centerline;the easement width measured from the external edge of the sidewalk is reduced to 10 and 5 meters in agglomerationsand insidetowns, respectively. * Rail roads and a 35-metereasement on each side of the centerline. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 2-7 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT The official easement associated with this national road is 100 m, but actual clearance averages about 8 m.

Lands required for the construction,operation, and maintenanceof the CTS shall either be allocated to the Project by the Republic of Cameroonor used by COTCO based on terms agreed to with the landownersor administrators,or Public Propertylands which are subjectto an authorizationto occupy. Lands required for the Project shall come from the Private Property of the State and Public Propertylands, and shall form what is referredto as the Land Easement. This Land Easement shall be created by incorporatingthe requestedland into the PrivateProperty of the State after expropriation or de-allocationif necessary. For Public Property lands, an authorization to occupyshall be issued. Although built and operatedon lands belongingto the Private Propertyand Public Property of the State, the CTS is and shall remain COTCO's property; the latter shall be granted the following rights so that it can conduct its activities. A description of these rights shall be included in the CameroonianLand Registry. * Land use rights * Right of user on lands allocatedfor the construction,operation, and maintenanceof the CTS * Free access rightson CTS facilities * Usage rights on CTS facilities * Right to protectionperimeters around CTS facilities In addition,within the Land Easement,COTCO shall be authorizedto cut the timber neededfor its activities,to alter as necessaryand use waterfalls, and to use quarries. The principlesof land tenure and privateownership according to Cameroonianlaw will be briefly outlinedto providea basisfor obtainingthe lands and compensationprocedures. The state in Cameroon is the guardian of all lands. There are four types of land tenure in Cameroon: Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 3-1 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT * Private Property, * Public Propertyof the State, * PrivateProperty of the State and other public bodies,and * NationalLand. Based on information obtained during the CLS, over 99 percent of the land within the Land Easementis NationalLand. 3.2 ACQUISITIONOF LANDNEEDED FOR THE PROJECT 3.2.1 Private Property Private ownership of land may be obtained by registeringthe land with the Land Registry to obtain a land title, which is referredto as "Titre Foncier." The land title is the officialcertification of ownershipof the land. It is unassailable,inviolable, and final. Lands which are privately owned underthe definitiongiven by the current legislationgoverning land tenure, consistof: * Registeredlands with a "Titre Foncier' _Lands held by virtue of (i) a decree granting State land as compensation,(ii) a decree approving a sale by mutual consent, (iii) assignmentof a parcel belongingto the Private Propertyof a regional administrativesubdivision, or (iv) a decree granting,as an irrevocable concession,a parcel of the NationalLand, which is underdevelopment. Those rights conferred by private ownershipof the land are generally acquiredfrom a private person, usuallythrough sale, exchange,grant, or legacy. It may also result from acquisitionof an allotmentof the PrivateProperty of the State. Finally,a privateperson or a local communitymay also obtain a land title from a dependencyof the NationalLand, so long as the provisionsof the relatedlaws and regulationsare met. In the case of the Project, privatelyowned lands shall be expropriated,compensated for, and incorporatedinto the PrivateProperty of the State. 3.2.2 Private Property of the State and Other Public Bodies Private Property of the State consistsof, among others personaland real propertyacquired by the State either without considerationor for a valuable considerationaccording to the rules of expropriationfor public utility and the commonlaw. May1999 3-2 CamEng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 Permanent or classified forests are part of the Private Property of the State or that of individual districts, unless otherwise provided by the duly approved land-allotment plan of the area. Real property of the Public Property and National Land may, in some cases, be integrated into the Private Property of the State, by the transfer procedure and by incorporation, respectively. Real property belonging to private persons may also be integrated into the Private Property of the State by deed of expropriation, for public utility. Real property of the Private Property of the State may be allocated to a public service or alienated by sale, assignment, or exchange. In the case of the Project, lands belonging to the Private Property of the State will, if necessary, be freed from their current use and allocated to the Project. This provision is also applicable to land held by regional public authorities or other public entities. 3.2.3 National Land National Land comprises lands that are not classified as either Public Property, Private Property of the State, or Private Property. They may be divided into two categories based on land occupation. * There are, on the one hand, lands occupied with houses, farmlands, and plantations, grazing lands, and paths. The occupation of this type of land must be manifested through an effective human presence and conspicuous improvement. - There are, on the other hand, land free of any effective occupation. Mines are the property of the Nation. Certain types of forests may also form part of the National Land. Lands ranked as National Lands may be allocated by temporary grant or lease. Cameroonian law recognizes the right of communities having customary rules, and their members, to continue to occupy and use National Land that they had developed before Ordinance 74/1 of July 6, 1974 took effect on August 5, 1974. In the case of the Project, National Land shall be freed from its current use, compensated for, and incorporated into the Private Property of the State. 3.2.4 Public Property Public Property of the State is inalienable, imprescriptible, and non-attachable. Land occupation or land use rights and parking permits may be granted by the Administration on such lands, as temporary and basically revocable rights. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 3-3 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT The Public Property of the State consists of all personal and real property which, by nature or intended purpose, is made available either for direct use by the public or for use by State agencies. The Public Property of the State shall be divided into Natural Public Property and Artificial Public Property. Natural Public Property includes public property on sea, rivers, and land; the airspace; soil and subsoil of the territorial sea; waterways, marshlands, lakes, ponds; as well as the subsoil below and the airspace above the territory of the State and the territorial sea. Artificial Public Property includes main motorways, national and provincial highways, divisional roads, tracks, railways, commercial ports, military ports, telegraph and telephone lines, and their respective easements, alluvia, monuments, market places, graveyards, concessions of the traditional chiefdoms and related assets, more particularly in provinces where these concessions are considered as an undivided and joint estate of the community to which the chief has only user rights. Any type of real property can be integrated by decree into the Artificial Public Property. Such a decree of classification constitutes an expropriation deed. Bona fide owners and occupants who hold rights on such classified lands are entitled to compensation as in the case of outright expropriation. Bona fide owners and occupants who hold rights on dependencies of public land prior to the date of August 5, 1974 shall not be dispossessed unless the public interest so requires and only after compensation has been paid. An authorization shall be issued for the occupation of Public Property lands by the Project. 3.3 TYPES OF LAND OCCUPATION In addition to the rules and laws relative to land tenure, the occupation of the lands needed for the Project shall be govemed by the law establishing the Transportation of Hydrocarbons from foreign states (T.P.L.), its implementing decree, and the Convention of Establishment of COTCO. Lands required for the Project shall be occupied either temporarily or permanently. 3.3.1 Land Easement The works related to the construction, exploitation, and maintenance of the Cameroon Transportation System shall be declared for public purpose by order of the Minister in Charge of Lands. May 1999 3-4 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHAD EXPORTPROJECT CAMEROON PORTION- VOLUME3 The decree establishing the Authorization of Pipeline Transportation (ATP) shall grant to COTCOoccupation rights as well as rightsto use the lands of the easement. The Land Easementportion belongingto the Private Propertyof the State will be allocatedto the Project by decree, for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Cameroon TransportationSystem. An authorizationto occupy will be issued for Public Property lands requiredfor the Project. The decree allocates the easement lands to the Project on a temporary basis. Once the certificate of conformityis issued,an amendmentdecree shall limit COTCO'susage rights on the Land Easementto that which is neededfor the CameroonTransportation System. After Project constructionis completed,almost all land requiredtemporarily would be reclaimed and allocated to other uses, subject to the restrictions provided by law. The Republic of Cameroonis in favor of making this land available to pre-constructionusers. The majority of this land will then be availablewithout restrictions. In the case of offshore concessions,land occupationshall result from an agreementbetween the concession holder and COTCO, with the participation of the Republic of Cameroon. COTCOshall negotiatewith concessionholders the terms and conditionsfor freeing said land, includingcompensation for which COTCOshall be responsible. For lands allocated to the Project, where agro-industrialor mining concessions have been granted in the requiredform and by the qualified authoritiesbefore the attributionof the ATP, based on a requestfiled beforethe filing date of the ATP request. COTCOwith the participation of the Republicof Cameroon,shall negotiatewith the affectedconcession holders the terms and conditions for freeing said land, including compensationappertaining thereto, which shall be paid by COTCO. If an amicable agreementcannot be reached, COTCOcan either requestthat the Republic of Cameroonexpropriate the land at COTCO'sexpense or modifythe pipelineroute or the sites of ancillaryfacilities so as to avoid these concessions. For lands where forestry concessionhave been granted,the Republicof Cameroon,will take all necessary measures to make available these lands which will be needed for the Land Easement. All deeds to grant or allocatesuch concessionsshall be modifiedby the Republicof Cameroon to take into account COTCO'srights. In all cases, the affected lands will, if necessarybe incorporatedinto the PrivateProperty of the State and be included in the Land Easement.

If no amicable agreement can be reached and when COTCO's request is deemed justified, COTCO can be authorized to occupy the land temporarily in exchange for adequate compensation. In this case, COTCOshall address a requestfor temporary occupationto the Minister in Chargeof Mines,containing the following: - A note describing the activities to be conducted and explaining the reasons why the requestedland is neededto carry out its activities; _ Proof that negotiationswith the land owner(s)have failed; - Proposedlength of occupationand compensation; * A map showingthe coordinatesof the requestedland. GrantingAuthorization The authorizationfor temporaryoccupation shall be granted by a decree issued by the Minister in Charge of Lands (MINUH), based on a favorable recommendationfrom the Minister in Charge of Mines (MINMEE). The said decree shall note the validity of the request, state the parties rights and obligations, particularly restrictions on granted rights provided that such restrictions are compatible with a normal execution of planned activities, and authorize temporaryoccupation of the land for a period of less than one year. A temporary occupation procedurecan not be initiatedif the requestedperiod of occupationis more than one year. The authorizationfor temporaryoccupation does not grant COTCOfreehold on the land.

The latter cannot take any action or perform any work that is likely to hinder construction activities. 3.3.3 System Easement After construction of the pipeline is completed, COTCO will apply to the Republic of Cameroon for a 10 to 15 m wide system easement over the pipeline. Almost all of this land retained by COTCO, as part of the permanent pipeline system easement will be reclaimed. The Republic of Cameroon is in favor of making this land available to pre-construction users, but with restrictions against some actions, such as constructing houses and planting large trees. 3.3.4 Infrastructure In the case of infrastructure improvements and construction (roads, bridges, port and airport facilities, as well as landing strips, either existing or to be constructed in the Republic of Cameroon, which will be used for the Project and which are located outside the Land Easement), the Republic of Cameroon shall provide COTCO, in a timely manner and according to the terms defined below, with all easements, authorizations, and permits necessary to carry out such improvements or construction: a) Existing road easement, regulation size, created in accordance with Ordinance No. 77/2 of January 10, 1977, which supplements the provisions of Ordinance No. 74/2 of July 6, 1974 (legislation governing State land); b) Regulation-size easements needed for the construction of new road sections, and for road realignments and detours near agglomerations; c) Additional easements needed for creating detours to keep traffic out of the main road easements, easements needed for construction-site facilities and borrow pits, as well as easements needed for access to these areas. The eviction, expropriation, release and compensation in respect of the easements defined in paragraphs a) and b) above shall be for the account of the Republic of Cameroon.

Basedon 1987 NationalCensus, data villages and towns in this Projectarea includes about 800,000individuals (Table 4-2). Most of the landsare traditionallyowned and officialtitled land is rare. Traditionallyland is privatelymarketed. Land marketing activity is directlyassociated with land demands. The 890 km pipelineroute covers several major ecological zones and economic zones including the: * AtlanticLittoral Evergreen Forest * YaoundePeri-Urban Area * Forest-SavannaZone * AdamaouaZone * NorthemSavanna Zone These areas can be briefly summarizedas follows. Detailedsummaries of each area by Departmentmay be foundin AppendixB andin Table1-4. 4.2.1.1 AtlanticLittoral Evergreen Forest (Departments of Oceanand Nyong-et-So'o) This regionstretches 162 km from the Oceancoast in Kribi to the NyongRiver. This zone vegetationconstitutes Atlantic littoral and Biafranforest (zones1.2.2 and 1.2.1 accordingto Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 4-1 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT Letouzey's" classification). Duringthe first 120 km, Bantu ethnic groups and a minorityPygmy populationinhabit the area. The main crops in the area are cassava (>50 percent), cucumber, and inter-croppedfields, based on cassava mixed with banana, plantain,some maize, macabo (cocoyam)and others. Fifty-fourvillages are crossedin this area. 4.2.1.2 Yaounde Peri-UrbanArea (Departmentsof L6kie,Mefou-et-Akono, Mefou-et-Afamba, and Mfoundi) The vegetation is a very degraded semideciduousforest. This region is much more densely populatedand agricultureis more intensivelypracticed. Ethnicgroups are mainly Beti. Cassava is still the major crop (>50 percentof the field area) but maize, peanuts and macabo each have a 10 percent share of the field area. Cocoa is much more importantthan in the Atlantic littoralforest zone. Fifty-sevenvillages are crossedin this area. The economy in this area is based on foodcrops for the Yaounde market. Tomatoes and vegetablescan be good sources of income wherever transportationfacilities to the town are availableand inexpensive. 4.2.1.3 Forest-SavannaZone (Departmentsof Haute-Sanagaand Lom-et-Djerem) This region covers the area, along the Sanaga River, up to the Deng Deng forest and is primarily semideciduousforest. The administrativedepartments of Haute-Sanagaand Lom-et- Dj6rem are used as limits, making this distinctionsomewhat artificial. Beti are present until Belabo. Seventy-fourvillages are crossedin this area. Cassava, representingonly 40 percent of the field area, is more often replacedwith macabo (north of Belabo, along the railway) and maize (west of Belabo) then in the other areas. Robusta coffee replaces cocoa as the major cash crop. Large stretches along the pipeline are uninhabited. 4.2.1.4 AdamaouaZone (Departmentsof Mbereand Vina) The zone is primarily wooded savanna land is classified as Sudanese-Guinean(2.1 and 2.2 according to Letouzey), and forest is only present near the rivers, savanna elsewhere. The ethnic group is the Baya. " Letouzey,R. 1985.Notice de ia cartephytogeographique du Cameroon au 1/500000. Inst Carte Intem. V6g6tation.Toulouse et Inst Rech.Agron., Yaounde. May 1999 4-2 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 Cereals are the major crops: together maize, sorghum, and millet cover 45 percent of the field area. Manioc, remains important (37 percent). The karite is an abundant tree for oil preparation, and is present everywhere in the savanna. Cattle herding is an important activity in this zone. Transhumant cattle herders of Fulbe and Bororo origin regularly visit the pastures in the area, and the fields of the local farmers are protected against their incursions. Twenty-eight villages are crossed in area. Except near the main roads, large stretches along the pipeline are uninhabited. 4.2.1.5 Northem Savanna Zone (Department of Mayo Rey) The zone vegetation is Sudanese. Here cotton is a major cash crop (24 percent) of the fields. Sorghum and maize are the main food crop, and only some cassava is still grown. In the savanna, African peach, karite and Annona senegalensis are abundant. Twenty-five villages are crossed in this area. 4.2.2 General Characteristics of the Area Along the Pipeline Easement During the CLS, about 4,500 individual inventory forms were prepared representing about 2,700 individual farmers (Table 4-3). Based on preliminary estimates there are about 55,000 individuals in villages and towns crossed by the Land Easement. In order to estimate the percentages and types of land uses along the Land Easement, the right- of-way assistants evaluated Individual Inventory Forms. Table 4-4 illustrates the results of this evaluation and shows a high proportion of agricultural land with forest diminishing from 30 to 0 percent from west to east, while savanna increases from 0 to 40 percent. The category 'others" includes land such as fallow, roads, and rivers and was not further subdivided. 4.2.2.1 Summary of Measured Fields, Counted Plants, Tree, and Natural Resources by Department Along the Land Easement12 Table 4-5 summarizes fields, counted plants, trees, and natural resources recorded along the Land Easement during the CLS.13 An estimated 232 ha of the Land Easement are cultivated fields. Of the counted plants and trees, 46 ha are the estimated area of food crops such as bananas, sugarcane, and pineapple,'4 81 ha of coffee or cocoa plantations; and 68 ha of other, minor cash crops, such as rubber, improved varieties of oil palm, and officially recognized medicinal plants such as Voacanga. 12 These data are derivedfrom the first versionof the databasecovering the entire 890 km of the pipeline in Cameroon. 13 It should be noted that these data are estimatedas of January1999 and do not reflect amendments which may be made by the Verificationand ValuationCommission in the north. 14 For countedplants, the surfacehas beencalculated using the officialmaximum density per hectare.

Cassavais the main staple food everywhereexcept the north. Cereals become importantfrom Yaoundeto the east, and especiallyin the north. Peanutsare importantaround Yaound6; in the east, various sorghumsand milletsare only grown in Adamaouaand the north. 4.2.2.3 Cash Crops Cash crops are cocoa in south-westand central Cameroon,coffee in eastern Cameroonand cotton in northern Cameroon. None of these crops are grown betweenthe Deng Deng Forest and the Mayo Rey department in the north. Other, less important, cash crops are rubber, medicinalplants and trees, sometobacco, and improvedvarieties of oil palm, and pineapple. 4.2.2.4 Useful Wild Resources Many usefulwild trees were counted along the pipelineeasement of which only some have a established value in the official 1981 decree on compensationof cultivated crops and trees. Over 50,000 wild resourceswere recordedduring the CLS. Over 75 percent of these were in communityfiles in the Departmentsof Mbere, Vina, and Mayo Rey. Most trees were coded in the CLS databaseas 'other fruit trees' or as 'other cultivatedtrees.' Additional information on the use of these resources is currently being evaluated by the Republicof Cameroon'sVerification and ValuationCommission (see Section5.6.5). In addition, COTCOwill collect additionalinformation on the use of these resourcesas duringthe interactive participatoryconsultation process described in Section4.5.4. 4.3 ENVIRONMENTALBACKGROUND DOCUMENTS This Plan is based on a series of socioeconomicstudies and on informationpresented in the October 1997 version of the EA and this EMP. These studies, which are based on the principlesin this Plan, are undertakento facilitateits implementation. Data collection methods and conclusions drawn from these studies are summarizedbelow. Summary information on data collection, field studies, and Bakola Pygmy village consultationefforts can be found in documentsdiscussed below. The key conclusions drawn from the following Project studies form the basis of the compensationmeasures and processelaborated in this Plan.

This EA identified physical, biological, and human socioeconomic environmental issues pertaining to the Project to limit adverse impacts through avoidance or redesign early in the Project-planning process and through adoption of mitigation measures for the remaining identified impacts. The 1997 version of the EA was undertaken at the preliminary engineering phase of the Project. As part of this early EA Project planning, a socioeconomic data collection program was initiated and led by the Institute of Development Anthropology.16 Also participating in the study from the Republic of Cameroon were the University of Yaound6, the Ministry of Scientific and Technical Research, the Ministry of Territorial Administration, the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The purpose of the study was to gather information relevant to the identification and assessment of potential direct and indirect social impacts of the proposed Project. The study had three components. * A background literature review. * Initiation of a field data collection program which included focus group interviews as well as administration of questionnaires. * Review of aerial photography to assess land-use trends. First, background data collection included an extensive review of literature and databases concerning socioeconomic issues in the proposed Project areas. Data was collected related to demographics, existing infrastructure, and compensation rates established under Cameroonian law. Second, more than 200 person-days of field survey work were completed to collect information about communities in or near proposed Project facilities. The group collected survey data on 68 communities and 185 households in four representative areas along the pipeline route (near Touboro, Meiganga, Nanga Eboko, and Kribi). Village surveys focused on community level resources and characteristics such as population size, ethnic and religious affiliations, linguistic composition, and primary and secondary production systems.

Third, the group also studied and analyzedavailable aerial photographsand interpretationsof habitatand land usage madefrom the same. Based on these data, the 1997 version of the EA made, among others, the following conclusions: * Customary users are entitled to compensationfor improvementsmade to land that is expropriatedfor projectssuch as this. * Siting of the pipeline constructionroute was successfulin avoiding populated areas to the extent practical. * The vast majority of Project-relatedimpacts will require only relocationof existingfields and or structureswithin the same community. For example,structures may need to be removed from the Project'sLand Easementand rebuiltor "relocated"in the same village. * It was estimatedthat no resettlementwould be requiredin Cameroonas a result of Project activities. Resettlement differs from relocation in that resettlement would require an individualand their householdto move to a new community. Resettlementis not expected because of the relative abundance of available land in most areas of Cameroon and becausethe CTS and associatedfixed facility sites were sitedto avoid settled areas. * The Bakola Pygmies, considered a vulnerable people, live in small villages and camps scatteredthroughout the Kribi-Lolodorfarea. Because their social and cultural identity is distinct from that of the majority of Camerooniansociety, this group warrants special considerationand attention. Summaryinformation on the data collectioneffort and the resultsof the socioeconomicsurveys can be found in the October 1997version of the EA-CameroonPortion. 4.3.2 EnvironmentalManagement Plan and Appendices This EMP also provides summaries of specific biophysical,socioeconomic, and health-related Project expectations and issues, along with associated Project mitigation and monitoring actions. Other elements of the EMP includediscussion of the roles and responsibilitiesof the Republicof Cameroonand COTCO environmentaloversight organizations, and environmental managementtools. The EMP built on goals and principles set forth in previous biophysical, socioeconomic,and health studies. The EMP summarizesvarious mitigationstrategies that will be employedto limit May 1999 4-6 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 the impactsof the Project's land use on the affected public. Many actions set forth in the EMP will have direct or indirect impacton the needfor compensationsuch as: * Limiting physical land usage to the extent practical, including limiting pipeline easement width and use of lands for constructioncamps and storageyards. * Reclamationand return of lands within the CameroonTransportation System easementso these lands can be returnedto their prior uses. * Designingor locatingfacilities to limit disturbancesto knownsacred and culturalsites. * Developingand implementingthis CompensationPlan. Considerableeffort was made in the route selectionto limit the potentialfor social disruption. This was achieved in rural areas primarily by siting the TransportationSystem Easementand fixed facility sites to avoid settlements. 4.4 SOCIOECONOMICSURVEYS AND PLANS 4.4.1 Bakola Pygmies 4.4.1.1 Surveys In response to the identification in the 1997 version of the EA of the presence of Bakola Pygmies in the general vicinity of the proposedpipeline route between Kribi and Lolodorf, a survey of the Pygmy population in that area was completed. The study was conducted by GEPFE (Groupe d'itude des Populations Forestieres gquatoriales),a group of expert anthropologistswho have studiedthe Pygmiesin this areafor well over a decade. The primary focuses of the field study were to identifythe locationsand sizes of Pygmy villages occurring within five km of either side of the pipeline route, to identify the locations of their hunting areas, and to assess the impactsthat the pipeline constructionmight have on these people. To ensure that Project-relatedimpacts to the Pygmy population were limited, GEPFE was contractedto conduct a consultationprogram with Bakola Pygmy villages in advance of the CLS, and assistthe CLS in routing aroundsettlements to limit Project-relatedimpacts. During this effort, the Pygmy settlement location data that had been gathered in the original Pygmy survey (Koppert et a/., 1997) was refined using enhancedGlobal PositioningSatellite (GPS) equipment. Using this improveddata, adjustmentswere made to the pipeline route to altogetheravoid or at least limit, where practical,impacts to the settlements located near the pipelineroute. Cam EngCP 05-12.doc 4-7 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENWRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHAD EXPORTPROJECT Within the general Project area (<10 km from the pipeline route), a total of 73 Bakola settlementswere identified,including some temporarycamps and abandonedsettlements. The estimatedpopulation for these settlementsis about1,500 people. * Of the 73 Pygmy settlementsidentified in the Project area, 48 are 2 km or more from the final pipelineroute. The Projectwill have a negligibleimpact on these settlements. * Followingthe route adjustments,a total of 18 Pygmysettlements were located 0.5 to 2.0 km from the final pipeline route. Project impact for these settlements will be temporary, confined to the estimated 30- to 60-day constructionperiod. Two other settlements are closer than 500 m from the route, but are separatedfrom the route by a substantialbarrier (e.g., major river or road). Impactsat these settlementswill be minimal. * In a few cases, groups of Pygmieshave settled very near the Kribi-Lolodorfroad. Under these circumstances,it was not feasible to maintainthe 0.5 km distance. In those cases, the routewas chosen in close consultationwith the Pygmyvillagers to limit impacts. Several meetings were held with each of these villages. In most cases, at the request of the villagers,the route was movedtowards the road and away from the fields and hunting areas used by the Pygmies. No Pygmyfamilies are expectedto be resettledas a result of the Project. The pipeline avoids all known remote-huntingcamps established by Pygmies. In additionto consultingwith villages near the pipeline, GEPFE also consulted with the other Pygmy villages in the vicinity of the CameroonTransportation System easement. The purpose of the additional consultationwas to inform them of the CLS survey work and to discuss the pipeline Project. During the ongoing consultation process, information was solicited conceming appropriate compensation for Project-related impacts. The results of this consultation and the recommendationsof GEPFEare summarizedin AppendixC. 4.4.1.2 IndigenousPeoples Plan An IndigenousPeoples Plan will be implementedto mitigatepotential adverse effects as a result of direct and indirect Projectimpacts. This Plancan be found in Volume4 of this Environmental ManagementPlan - CameroonPortion. 4.4.2 SocioeconomicStudies at FixedFacility Sites Informationon the Project's potentialsite-specific socioeconomic impacts was initiated as part of the CLS effort and is currently being completed and evaluated. In addition, focused May 1999 4-8 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 socioeconomicstudies were completedat the proposedfixed facilities' sites and the locationsof proposedstorage yards. (See AppendixG for terms of referencefor the studies.) The survey's at the fixed facilitysites were carriedout by a socioeconomicspecialists, and were designed to gather information to facilitate the implementation of compensation and/or mitigation measures for potential impacts of permanent land losses. One purpose is to determinecurrent usage of these lands and the specificusers of the land. Based on results of the survey, mitigation measures have been identified as necessary to address impacts not compensatedunder applicableCameroon legislation at a few locations. If necessary,measures such as technical assistancefor impacted individualswill be considered by COTCO in areas where larger blocks of land are needed for constructionand operation/maintenanceof these facilities.

This involved visiting the Cam EngCP 05-12.doc 4-9 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT approximately100 settlementsalong the roadfrom Meigangathrough Gbabongo,Belel, and on the Chadfrontier at Mbai Mboum. Whereverfeasible (that is, whenever anyone was present in the village - this being a heavy agriculturalwork season and many of the settlementsbeing very small), Dr. Phillip Bumham and COTCO'sLocal CommunityContact, Mr. DjafarouGarba, stoppedin each village to discuss issues relating to the proposed road constructionwith the local inhabitants. Interviewswere carried out in local languages- chiefly Gbaya, Fulfulde,and Mbum. On the basis of these interviews,as well as, a visual inspectionof presentroad layoutsthrough each village, a database listing all locations that were thought likely to present problems of compensation,road safety, or other socio-economicissues was constructed. This database is now availableto informfuture road constructionplanning. The resultsof his work can be found in his report entitled PreliminaryAssessment of Proposed RoadwayImprovements from Meigangato the Chad Border(Burnham 1998). 4.4.4 FutureStudies Evaluation of data collected during the CLS and socioeconomicstudies is currently being evaluated concerning the types and numbers of assets and investments eligible for supplementalcompensation by COTCO. Based on these data a focused marketsurvey will be conductedto assessand potentiallyrevise COTCOsupplemental compensation rates. In addition,studies will be completedfor those fixed facility sites not yet studied. During these studies COTCO and the Cameroon Party representativeswill work together as described in Section6.0. 4.5 CONSULTATIONAND OUTREACHPROGRAM 4.5.1 Introduction Many activities have been undertaken within the framework of the public information and consultation process. Consultation has been conducted on an ongoing basis since the preliminary engineering phase of the Project, continuedthrough the CLS, and is continuing today. The public information and consultation activities conducted for this Project are described in detail in the Consultationand Public Review Program(Supporting Documents - Volume3). Some of the activitiesdescribed in this documentinclude: * Project consultationprior to and during developmentof the EA with governmentagencies, affectedgroups, and Non-GovemmentalOrganizations (NGOs). * Meetingswith NGOsboth locallyand internationally. May1999 4-10 Cam EngCP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 * A Public Information Campaign (PIC) consisting of information dissemination and consultationwas conducted during two rounds of consultationbetween August 1997 and November 1998. During this time meetingswere held in 59 communitiesthroughout the Projectarea. * Focusedconsultations with individualsresiding in Pygmy settlementsbefore and during the CLS. Additionalconsultation is scheduledconcerning the implementationof the Indigenous PeoplesPlan andthroughout the implementationphase of the Project. * Establishmentof reading rooms in February1998 in all provinceswithin the Republic of Cameroonto permitindividuals the opportunityto read and commenton the draft versions of the EA, EMP, and CameroonCompensation Plan. * Disseminationof the EA, EMP, and the CompensationPlan to the World Bank Information Shop(s),and InternationalHeadquarters of several NGOs. Ongoing consultationduring the CLS has been one of the major avenues for collection and disseminationof informationconcerning compensation. This effort included is described in Section4.5.2 below. Finally, prior to Project implementation,interactive participatoryconsultation meetings will be held in all of the estimated238 villages directlyaffected by pipelineconstruction. This effort is describedin Section4.5.4. 4.5.2 Consultationand FeedbackDuring the CLS The CLS for the CameroonTransportation System was initiated by COTCO during November 1997 and completed in October 1998. The primary purpose of the survey was to select COTCO's final routing. This survey is an important step in acquiring necessary information required in defining the Land Easementfor the purpose of acquiring land for the Project. In addition,the surveyaffected the Project's compensationprocess by: * Identifying the owners/usersof land so that compensationcan be paid for clearing costs associatedwith the CLS, and, later, for damages/lossof use incurredduring construction. * Inventoryingcompensable resources along the proposedeasement and at fixed facility sites and related constructionareas. * Allowingrefinements in the easementto be made to avoid,where practical,settlements and sacredsites that were not identifiedin previoussiting and routingefforts or that were built in the meantime. * Gathering additionalsocioeconomic data from people in close proximityto and/or directly affected by the pipelineeasements. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 4-11 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVWRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHAD EXPORTPROJECT This work also benefited the CompensationPlan in that it has led to increasedcontact with affected populations and a better understandingof their potential concerns. In addition, experience gained in paying compensationfor damages incurred during the CLS effort, has been useful in developingthe CompensationPlan. Representativesof the Cameroon Party have participatedin the CLS. Several survey teams worked simultaneously during the CLS. Each team included representatives of the Republic of Cameroon and COTCO. As the survey proceeded a complete inventory of compensable resources was made for each individual land user. Informationwas also collectedon the type of land and land classification. Each team was also assistedby COTCO'sLocal CommunityContact (LCC) for the Department where the surveyteam was working. Currently,COTCO employs nine full-time LCCs for the 11 Departments along the pipeline route. LCCs are knowledgeablelocal individuals who are responsiblefor the day-to-dayinteractions with local individualsand communities. Use of these LCCs assistedthe surveyteams by: - Presentingthe Projectin understandableterms of the local language,and * Facilitating resolution of concerns and problems between land users or between crop owners. The LCCs were also responsiblefor the completionof communityinformation questionnaires at each of the approximately238 villagesalong the pipelineeasement; as well as completionof a sample of supplementalindividual questionnaires. Several key lessonswere leamedduring the CLS: * Hiring of local manual labor to clear the survey line greatly facilitated the identificationof rightful land users. * Assistance from the village chiefs or their representativesalong the CLS and in the compensation process alleviated false representation of crop ownership and their contributionswas very usefulin payingcompensation during the survey. * By deferring paymentof CLS damagesto another day, rather than paying at the time the damage occurred, concerns relating to payment could be easily resolved by rechecking resourcesand makingadjustments as necessary. * Additional training of personneland evaluationwas needed in the identificationof various types of wild resourceswhich might be encounteredalong the surveyroute. * Improvement is needed in providing farmers with timely documentation of inventoried resources. May 1999 4-12 Cam EngCP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 * Identification of fallow fields needed better definition. * The need for additional information was never lacking. Some information needed to be discussed two, three, or more times. Provisions needed to be made for explanations which presented conceptual and/or mathematical problems. Inventories were competed in the same manner as per the CLS at fixed facility sites. Inventory work has been initiated in the area to be affected by roadway improvements but has not yet been completed. 4.5.3 Departmental Verification and Valuation Commission As part of the compensation process the Republic of Cameroon's Departmental Verification and Valuation Commission (DWC) holds meetings at each of the estimated 238 villages where compensable resources have been identified during the CLS as described in Section 4.5.2. During the presentation, COTCO presents additional information on the supplemental compensation process. These meetings are noticed in advance and anyone in the village can attend without restriction. The meetings generally include 12-15 members of the DWC, two COTCO right-of-way agents, and the LCC for the Department. Meetings are attended by most men in the communities. Most women attending are those whose crops and fields are affected and to whom compensation is due. The meetings begin with a short presentation concerning Republic of Cameroon participation in the Project, followed by a COTCO presentation of the requirements of the World Bank and the concept of supplemental compensation. Afterwards a general question and answer session is held. The names of the land owners/users are then called individually by the DWC. In front of all present the DVVC asks the land owner/user if he/she agrees with the quantities of crops registered during the CLS and which had been posted the previous month for review. The land owner/user then states their agreement or disagreement. In the event of a disagreement, the DWC publicly notes the declarations made by all sides and seeks ways and means to reach a decision that is satisfactory to all sides. Frequently, the DWC accompanies the land owner/user to their fields to resolve issues raised by the land owner/user during this visit. 4.5.4 Future Participatory Consultation With Affected Individuals and Communities Prior to Project start-up and payment of compensation, directly affected communities along the pipeline right-of-way will be consulted to solicit, through an interactive process, ongoing Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 4-13 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORT7ON - VOLUME3 CHAD EXPORTPROJECT thoughtsand concernsrelating to the CameroonCompensation Plan. This effort is partof the ongoingconsultation described in Section4.3.3 of the Consultationand PublicReview Program (SupportingDocuments - Volume3). It will be initiatedafter Projectapproval and priorto (3-6 monthspayments of compensation. To the extentpracticable (based on weatherand accessibility)each of the communitieswill be visited.The format used to encourageinput in eachcommunity will vary dependingupon issues such as the size of the community,social organization, religion, and ethnicity. It is envisioned that inputwill be encouragedthrough a combinationof communitywide meetings,focus group discussionswith community based organizations, key interviews, and informal discussions. The meetingswill be translatedinto one or more local languagesdepending upon group composition. The Project's LCCs are currently collecting informationon NGOs, CommunityBased Organizations(CBOs) and othergroups in eachof the communitiesalong the pipelineright-of- wayfor purposesof thisconsultation effort. Regardlessof the format of the consultation,input will be solicitedon the range of topics describedin Table4-8. The anticipatedoutcomes include: * An opportunityfor impactedindividuals and communitiesto raiseissues, ask questions,and providecomments on the CompensationPlan, including opinions conceming the adequacy of compensationrates. * An opportunityto update communitieson the latest revisionsto the Plan, include compensationfor wild resources,the grievance procedures,and any changes in supplementalgap compensation payments. * Solicitationof inputsconcerning potential community compensation (at fixed facilitysites), andregional compensations along the pipelineright-of-way. * Assessmentof the understandingof the compensationprocess by impactedindividuals and communities. * Agreementon howto proceedwhere there are differences. In orderto providetimely feedback two to four consultationteams will be formedto conductthe work. Eachteam will includethe localLCC andtwo or three otherindividuals. It is envisioned that the team will consistof the LCC,and two or three other members. In some areas,it is preferablethat oneof the membersbe a womanto encouragefemale participation where social proscriptionslimit such participation. In additionto the LCCthese individuals may be: * Membersof localor non-localNGOs. May 1999 4-14 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 * Specialistswith social sciencetraining in interviewingtechniques. * Specialistsin the Jocalagriculture. * Local respectedmembers of the communitywho would be able to solicit a wide range of opinions. Prior to starting their consultationeffort, work team members will participate in a training processon interactiveconsultation. Duringthis trainingperiod, they will developconsistent key messages and agree on appropriate oversight reporting and data managementtechniques. They will also review continuing, outstanding issues identified by the LCCs and review commentsand lettersreceived during the DWC meetings. The LCCs will informvillages of the estimateddate of arrival and duration of the team's stay in the area during their regularlyscheduled meeting every other month. To the extent practicable, the consultationeffort take into accountlocal agriculturalschedules. Priorto the consultationmeetings, the LCCswill reviewthe topics which will be coveredwith the local communities. At this time, the LCC will recordany new or ongoing questions,concerns, and/orissues which will need to be includedas part of the consultation. Duringthe consultationeffort, the teams will: • Provideadditionai information on key pointsas set forth in Table 4-8. * Always encouragelocal input,comment, and feedback. * Documentcomments. * Respondto questionswhere they haveclear answers. * Committo gettinganswers with a time frame commitment. * Ensurevillagers understand their commentsare being documented,how the commentswill be reviewed,and the follow-upprocess. * Clearly and in local terms, explainwhere COTCO will and will not support communityor individualrequests. * Ensure enough notification and information is given on sessions and enough time is providedfor meetings. * Be preparedto have sessionsthat are informal and flexible in natureto meet local cultural views and to accommodatelocal priorities.

Compensation will be based on land status, usage and improvements, official rates and rates from market surveys and is intended to meet the intent of World Bank Operational directives concerning compensation. Community compensation will be based on negotiated agreements at fixed facility sites as discussed in Section 5.7. Compensation for concessions will be based on negotiated agreements as discussed in Section 5.8. Most Project land needs were identified during the CLS. Additional inventory work is still to be completed in areas where road improvements will be made. The Republic of Cameroon and COTCO representatives will inform affected individuals and communities of estimated future timelines when land will be needed by the Project in a timely manner. This information is updated during regularly-scheduled meetings held once every two months at each village along the Land Easement. This process is designed to provide as much advance notification as possible to limit impacts. During both its design phase and the site surveys conducted to select the pipeline route and fixed facility sites, the Project has been concerned with ensuring that lands requested are selected in such a way as to avoid involuntary resettlement of people. The majority of the compensation is concerned with compensation for crops and other resources. Based on field observations, Project Land Easement requirements in most cases will affect only a minor portion of an individual's fields, and/or a few structures will need to be removed. In this case, compensation will provide for replacement and structures in different, but nearby, locations - in other terms, structures will be "relocated." Individual compensation in such cases will include labor costs and will provide for cash and/or in-kind compensation. 5.2 GENERAL COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES In order to meet the intent of World Bank directives, the following general compensation principles have been adopted concerning supplemental compensation due as per individual and group entitlements.

Road Easements: Individuals potentially eligible for supplemental compensation as discussed in this Plan, will be provided supplemental compensation only if their compensable resources are physically affected by COTCO works. 5.3 ENTITLEMENTS FOR LAND BASED ON LAND CLASSIFICATION Table 5-1 summarizes responsibilities of how land will be acquired and is based on specific terms agreed upon between the Republic of Cameroon and COTCO. Compensation for the Land Easement in accordance with applicable legislation is the sole responsibility of the Republic of Cameroon. This table lists actions to be taken by the Republic of Cameroon to make land available to the Project. In certain cases, COTCO is responsible for negotiating lease payments for their temporary occupation of the land on private property. COTCO will not pay for land provided by the Republic of Cameroon to the Project for the Cameroon Transportation System Land Easement. In only one circumstance will COTCO consider payment towards the purchase of land, and that is in the case where Republic of Cameroon rates are not sufficient to meet current market value. (See following Section.) May 1999 5-2 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 In the majority of cases, land will be acquired through expropriation and eviction as described in Section 3.2. However, there are two circumstances under which the Republic of Cameroon will issue COTCO an authorization to occupy the land (see Table 5-1 at the end of this Section). These are: * Where land is needed for only a short time period during construction. * When land needed for the construction and the operation and maintenance of the Cameroon Transportation System is Public Property. 5.3.1 PrivateTitle Land Less than one percent of all land surveyed during the CLS is Private Title Land. This land consists of about 21 individualproperties. Most of this land originallycame from the National Land or the old procedure of registering customaryland rights. This land will be acquired through an expropriation/evictionprocedure by the Republicof Cameroon. Compensationwill be as follows: Situation Method . Inthe caseof landobtained by .

Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 5-3 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT 5.3.2 Private Property of the State Land will be acquired for the Project through an allocation process. Only one parcel was identified during the CLS as Private Property of the State. No compensation will be paid for land itself. 5.3.3 National Land Many of the lands are traditional use lands. No compensation will be paid for land itself. The users will be evicted by the Republic of Cameroon. However, as per Section 3.3.1 the Republic of Cameroon will not object to pre-construction users reusing the land again, subject to some restrictions, in the System Easement. 5.3.4 Public Property No compensation will be paid for Public Property land. Bona Fide owners and occupants who hold rights on Public Property lands since before 8/5/74 (Date when Ordinance n° 72.2 of 7/6/74 took effect) are compensated in the same way as owners of expropriated lands. 5.4 ENTITLEMENTS FOR STRUCTURES, CROPS, AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS BASED ON LAND CLASSIFICATION Section 5.3 discussed compensation for land based on the type of land under Cameroonian law. In the same manner, compensation for structures, crops, and improvements varies by: * Land classification, and * Project use of that land. Table 5-2 summarizes responsibilities of the Republic of Cameroon to pay legal compensation, and COTCO to pay supplemental compensation based on land classification and Project use of the land. 5.4.1 Private Title Land In case of expropriation, the Republic of Cameroon will pay for structures, crops, and all other improvements as per applicable Cameroon legislation. COTCO will evaluate the difference between the total value and total due to the account of the Republic of Cameroon and determine any supplemental compensation due by COTCO to meet World Bank Group guidelines.

Methodologies used by COTCO are explained in greater detail at the end of each of the following subsections. 17 Land within the Land Easement, primarily for pipeline construction corridor. Most land needed 30- to 90-days. Pre-construction land users may continue to use land for the life of the Project with some restrictions. 8 Fixed facility sites include pump stations, airstrips, and storage yards used by the Project for more than one-year.

Compensationwill be paid to the individualwho has primary rightsto the structure,as definedin Appendix A. This individual will be responsiblefor compensatingany other users of the structure, not the ROC or COTCO. In the case of communally owned structures and improvements,in-kind replacement compensation will be provided. People will receive legal compensationaccording to Cameroonianlaw and COTCO will pay supplementalcompensation where applicable. Structuresimpacted by the Projectwill be either replaced by an equivalent structure or compensatedin cash and/or in-kind at local regional rates. The style and cost of the new structureto be built by the recipientwill be at the discretionof the recipient. However,compensation will be limitedto the value of the impactedstructure. Anyone who plans to build a newdwelling must respectdates establishedfor abandonmentof structures and/orassociated facilities. Any houses rebuiltwill be equippedwith a new latrine as per World Bank requirements. The owner or inhabitant may reclaim for salvage any materials s/he can. The COTCO DesignatedRepresentative (CDR) will arrange for transport, or the paymentfor transport, of householditems such as furnishings,grain, animals, and equipment.

This individualwill be responsiblefor settlingwith anyoneelse who may also use the resource, not the Republic of Cameroonor COTCO. For questions concerningprimary rights, the village leaders and membershipopinions will be requested. * People will receive legal compensation. Supplementalcompensation will be paid where appropriate. * Compensationwill recognizethe value of field labor'9 (for clearedor fallow fields) as well as crop loss. For this reason,"field" is definedas an area: - In cultivation, - Being prepared for cultivation, or - Was cultivatedduring the last agriculturalseason. 19 Thisdefinition recognizes that in mostcases the biggestinvestment farmers make in producinga crop is their labor.

COTCOSupplemental Compensation In July-August1997, a market survey was conductedto determine appropriatecompensation rates for potential damages to crops incurred during land clearing for the Project's CLS. COTCO was responsiblefor payment of all compensation related to damages incurred to people'sassets and investmentsduring the CLS. This study was conductedfor COTCO by GEPFE,and the final report is entitled Cameroon Market Survey,Kribi to Meiganga, Republicof Cameroon. It was preparedby a an experienced team of nutritionists, anthropologists, and economists with the assistance of several Camerooniangovernment ministries and agencies(including the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministryof Urbanismand Housing,and the Instituteof AgriculturalResearch for Development). The 1997 market survey entailed three weeks of field survey work and several weeks of collectingbaseline information and consultingwith knowledgeableindividuals. The study looked at the principalvariables that determinethe value of a crop in the field: marketprice of the crop, average yields of cropland in an area, and labor required for clearing and other farming activities. To study marketprice, marketswere visitedin 11 villagesand towns alongthe intendedpipeline route from Kribi on the west to Meiganga in the northeast. Both buyers and sellers were interviewed about prices of various crops. To determine crop yields, farms were visited and observationswere made on densities of planting and other pertinent parameters including fertilizer and seeds.

Basedon feedback receivedduring the CLS, pricesfor selected crops will be re-evaluatedprior to payment of compensation. Prices for these resources will be tested, and if necessary, updatedwith any necessarysupplemental information collected on current market values at the time compensationis paid. Resultswill be communicatedto impactedparties as necessaryand in an appropriatemanner. 5.5.5 CulturalSites 5.5.5.1 CompensationPrinciples Ongoing efforts are being made to limit potential impacts to cultural sites. Because this informationis often known only to a few individuals,information was collected during the CLS aboutthe locationsof sites to be avoidedor moved. Several adjustmentswere made in the proposedTransportation System's easement to avoid cemeteries,tombs, and other sacred sites and trees. In other cases, the locations of sacred sites were not specificallyidentified, but villageswere asked to assist in selectingan alternative route around a settlementwhich would limit potentialimpacts to valuable resources,including sacredsites. Compensationprinciples will be based on: Tombsand Compensationfor displaced burial sites is intendedto coverthe costsassociated with burials the traditionaland/or religious ceremony, the burialof remains,and, if necessary,the rebuildingof the tomb.

The WBG further states compensation for communal resources may be satisfied through environmental offsets and through community compensation on a regional basis. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 5-13 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT In additionArticle 8 of the 1994 ForestryLaw no. 94/01 of January 20, 1994 of Camerooncalls for compensationfor the loss of the right to use the forest, wildlife, and fishery resources by riparianpopulation. It states: Section8: (1)Within the contextof this law,logging or customaryright means the right whichis recognizedas beingthat of the localpopulation to harvestall forest,wildlife and fisheriesproducts freely for their personal use, except the protectedspecies. (2) TheMinisters in chargeof forestry,wildlife and fisheries may, by reasonof the public interest,and in consultationwith the populationsconcerned, temporarily or permanently suspendthe exerciseof loggingrights, when necessary. Suchsuspension shall be donein consonancewith the generalregulations on expropriationby reasonof publicinterest. (3) Theconditions for the exerciseof loggingrights shall be laiddown by decree. As a consequenceRepublic of Camerooncompensation under the ForestryLaw shall be made underthe same conditionsas in the case of expropriation. Types of resourcesand individualversus communal ownership varies along the pipeline route. Resourcesare largelydefined based on ecologicalzones. Individualversus group ownershipof resourcesvaries considerablybased on ethnic and social group organization. During the CLS, wild resources identified by individuals and communities were noted on individual inventory forms or on communityinventory forms. Approximately50,000 trees and plants, representing over 600 individual species were recorded. Analysis of these data indicated over 85 percent of all wild resources recorded during the CLS are community resources,mostly in the Departmentseast of Yaoundb. 5.6.2 CompensationPrinciples * Compensation principles concerning natural resources meet the intent of World Bank Operationaldirectives. * Individually and communally-ownednatural resources will be compensated including resourcessuch as beehives, medicinalplants and trees, individuallyowned wild trees, and fisheries. * Compensationfor firewoodwill be fully mitigatedby access of the local populationto wood which will be felled and stackedon the side of the ROWduring construction. * Informationon resourceseligible for compensationby the ROC that was collectedduring the CLS is currently being further evaluated by the DWCs as described in Section 5.6.5.1. Payment for these resources by the ROC will be made directly to the individual or communitythat "owns"the resource. May 1999 5-14 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATION PLAN ENWRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHAD EXPORT PROJECT CAMEROON PORTION - VOLUME 3 * In-kind regional compensation for communal resources will be made by COTCO. The regional compensation must directly benefit communities whose land is needed for the Land Easement. * COTCO will provide gap compensation for individually owned wild resources. This compensation will take into consideration: information collected during the CLS, results of the inquiries of the DWC, advice of experts, and information collected during the participatory consultation process described in 4.5. The list of resources is: Beehives Beehivesare placedin variouslocations by individualsfor honeygathering. .

The forest products shall comprise mainly wood and non-wood products as well as wildlife and fishery resources derived from the forest. The conditions for the exercise of logging right are laid down by decree No. 95/531/PM of 23 August 1995. This decree provides the exploitation norms in the forests. Article 26, part I stipulates that: The populations living around State forests shall maintain their usufruct consisting in carrying out within these forests their traditional activities such as collecting secondary forest products, notably raffia, palms, bamboo, cane or foodstuff and fire wood. (See Note 1 at the end of this Section.) By reason of public interest, the exercise of these logging rights must be temporarily or permanently suspended, when necessary. The Verification and Valuation Commissions will identify all the forest products. May1999 5-16 CamEng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORT7ON - VOLUME3 The compensation for these forest products will be calculated based on the by-law No. 58/MINAGRIof 13 August 1981 providingthe amendmentsfor the compensationrates to be paid to the landownerin case of any destructionof his cultivatedtree and food stuff. For the secondary forest products, namely raffia, bamboo, cane or foodstuff, the National Verificationand Valuation Commission(VVC), in accordancewith the land law regulations,will appoint an ad hoc Committee. This Committeewill classify those products,function of their usage, and botanic characteristicsin the categoriesof products listed in the above-mentioned by-law. Their compensationrates will be calculatedbased on the same range productsand eitherwith the same usage,or with the same botaniccharacteristic or even similar functions. Some forest productssuch as ebony, ivory, wild animalshorns, as well as certain animal, plant and medicinalspecies, or those which are of particularinterest, shall be classifiedas special. The list of special forest products shall be fixed, as and when necessary,by the competent Ministry. Throughthe decree No 95/531/PMof 23 August 1995,Articles 87 and 88 relatedto the License for the harvest of special forest productsprovide their exploitationnorms. (See Note 2 at the end of this Section.) 5.6.5.2 COTCO COTCO will make its best efforts to contract with an independentthird party to establish the value per hectare of Non-TimberForestry Products (NTFPs) along the right-of-wayin a timely manner. This valuationwill: * Includea range of values recognizingno formal recognizedvalues now exist for each major ecological/agriculturalzone. * Recognizethat many parts of the Land Easementhave no active market in bush products, and hence only subsistencevaluations shall be used. Adjustmentsto the basevaluation may be madeto accountfor: The fact that many of the resourcestypically includedin NTFP valuationsper hectare are compensatedas part of this Plan under rate sheets establishedfor crops and cultivated trees as describedin Section 5.5.4. Examplesinclude safou, kola, African wild mango, oil palms,raffia palms,Voacanga, and Yohimbe. * Recognize that direct construction impacts may affect only a small portion of the total communitywild resourcesavailable. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 5-17 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHAD EXPORTPROJECT * In many locations along the pipeline route, only a small portion of the total available resources are actually collected, and most of the value of the product is in the labor to processand harvestthe resource. In the event that such valuationscannot be obtained in a timely manner,COTCO will use an alternativemethodology. This alternativemethodology will be submittedto the WBG for review and comment prior to implementation. This will be implementedas part of the change managementprocess outlined in Section6.7 of the Plan. The actual in-kind regional compensationsto be made based on this assessment will be discussedduring the participatoryevaluation process and implementedas describedin Section 6.5.1.2. 5.7 SUPPLEMENTALCOMMUNITY COMPENSATION AT FIXED FACILITY SITES FOR PERMANENTLOSS OF LAND COTCO will pay in-kind communitycompensation on a case-by-casebasis to communities permanently losing land use to the Project for pump stations and storage yards. It also addressesthe loss of wild communalresources at these locations. Additional information on the communitycompensation process is presentedin Section6.5. 5.7.1 CompensationPrinciple Communitycompensation will be paid if constructionof pumpstations and storageyards results in the permanent loss of customaryrights to use land from the communalland pool. * Each communitywill receivea one-timecommunity compensation. * Compensationwill constitute an in-kind improvementproject for the local community as a whole. * Compensationwill addressthe loss of communityrights to permanentuse of the land. * Each communitywill be involved in selectingthe type of in-kindproject.

In a few cases land, will be used through a "TemporaryAuthorization to Occupythe Land" processas describedin Section3.3.2. Land within the boundariesof official concessionsgranted by the Republicof Cameroonmay also be used. Use and compensation of concessionlands will be through a negotiatedprocess. This Section describes the compensation process for land to be acquired for the Land Easement. It also describesgrievance processes to be implementedduring various stages of Project implementation,the processto be usedfor paymentof communitycompensation, and a changemanagement process. 6.2 UNIQUE NATUREOF THE EVALUATIONAND PAYMENTOF COMPENSATIONTO MEET THE INTENT OF WORLD BANK DIRECTIVES FOR THE CAMEROON TRANSPORTATIONSYSTEM Construction of the Cameroon Transportation System is unique in that the standard for compensation as required by the World Bank is different from that normally applied under Cameroon law. As discussed in this Plan, the Project will meet the intent of World Bank Operationaldirectives relating to compensation. In the following parts of this Section, the land acquisition and compensation process is explained. The processunder which land is expropriatedor acquiredthrough eviction, and the terms under which compensationis paid are well defined under Cameroon Law. The dual process described here is a unique process specific to construction of the Cameroon TransportationSystem and will not be the basisof future compensationefforts by the Republic of Cameroon. COTCO has agreed to pay supplementalcompensation as described in Section 5.0 to individualswhose land use is directlyaffected by the Project. The supplementalcompensation COTCOis responsiblefor is limitedto that describedin this Plan and is defined in generalterms as the difference between compensation required under Cameroonian legislation and compensationto meet the intent of World BankOperational directives. The concept of supplemental compensationincludes the necessity of being flexible for the following reasons: * It covers a range of resourceswhich peopleuse, and will not be limited to the resources normallycompensated under Cameroonianlegislation.

The range of compensations available will be based on the valuation of wild resources as described in Section 5.6.5.2 and regional consultation as descrbed below. It is envisioned that compensation may include a broad range of items depending upon regional needs such as: * distribution and planting of improved varieties of seeds and trees, * stocking regional dispensaries with medications, * vaccination programs, and * schools and/or wells. Regional community compensation will always be in-kind. The process to implement this compensation program is as follows: Departmentsand communitiesdirectly affected by pipelineconstruction eligible to participatein the regionalcompensation program will be notified. Those notifiedwill include: * The Prefetof each Department . Appropriatesous-prefet in the arrondissementin whichthe communitiesare located,and .

COTCOwill inform the communitythat the two- year limit is an administrativedecision set solely by COTCO. The communitycompensation process will providean opportunitynot only for improvementof the village,but also for communitydevelopment. The communitywill have to evaluateits needs,evaluate the costs of maintenance,and assess its capabilityto sustain one kind of investmentover another, and operationalizethe upkeepof the new communityimprovement.

For compensation paid by the ROC, as per this Plan, the first channel is through the MINUH, as described in Section 6.6.2.2. May 1999 6-12 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 The primary channel for handling grievances for supplemental compensation is through the LCC as described in Section 6.6.2.1. 6.6.1 During Preparation of Impact Assessment 6.6.1.1 Centerline Survey Compensation Disputes and concerns concerning compensation due as a result of damages during the CLS land clearing were handled at the time of compensation payment. All CLS compensation was paid entirely by COTCO. Prior to payment of this compensation, land user/occupants were asked to review the list of compensable resources. If there was a dispute concerning crops and/or cultivated trees these were handled immediately. Since, evidence of the crop/tree was still present these claims could be handled promptly. A large number of concems were made concerning the value of several crops during the CLS, notably cacao, coffee, raffia, and manioc. As a result of these inputs, the gap compensation to be provided by COTCO will be re-evaluated. Adjustments will be made as appropriate. 6.6.1.2 Land Acquisition at Fixed Facility Sites Concerns related to ability to acquire new land during the socioeconomic impact assessments at fixed facility sites will be the focus of follow-up assessments. Based on more intensive consultation with affected individuals, local authorities, village chiefs, and elders, appropriate compensation measures will be determined and implemented. 6.6.2 During Implementation of the Compensation Plan 6.6.2.1 COTCO Informal Grievance Procedures The primary channel for handling grievances for supplemental compensation is through the LCC. As explained in the Section 4.5.2, the Project employs nine full-time LCCs to work in the 11 Departments along the pipeline route. These individuals hold regularly scheduled meetings in each of the approximately 238 villages along the Pipeline route approximately once every two months. At that time, individuals may express concerns either during the meeting or afterward in private. To the extent possible the LCC will seek a provisional solution to the issue. If a provisional resolution cannot be agreed upon, a technical representative of COTCO will go to the village to validate the claim, document the discussion, and negotiate a provisional resolution. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 6-13 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT The provisional resolution of either the LCC or the technical representativeis submitted to COTCO management to approve. Management then instructs the organization how to implementit. If COTCO managementdisapproves the resolution,a managementrepresentative of COTCO will go to the villageto negotiatethe final resolution. All grievancesnoted by the LCC are includedin weekly reportssubmitted to COTCO. Issues of significant concern needing follow-up action by more senior managementare included in COTCOIssues Follow-UpForm as illustratedin AppendixJ of this Plan. Recordationof CompensableResources During the CLS individual inventory forms were completed and reviewed with each land user/occupant. If there were no objections,the form was then signed and information on the form entered into the master database. If objectionswere made, the survey and right-of-way crewsworked to resolve any differences. Approximatelya month or more beforethe arrival of the DVVC in a village, a sheet listing the name of each land user/occupantwas postedin each village by the LCC. This sheet included informationon the number and types of compensableresources recorded. In addition, rate sheets listing the types of compensable resources and amounts due by the Republic of Cameroonand by COTCOwere posted. At the time the individual inventory summary lists were posted in each village, the LCC requestedthat each individualuser/occupant review this recordfor completenessand note any discrepanciesin a notebookleft with the villagechief or other designatedrepresentative. During each subsequentvisit to the village,the LCC checkedthe contentsof notebookfor comments. Other Grievances/Conflicts During any informal meetings,it is the responsibilityof the LCCs to provide current information on the progress of the Project as well as to recordany grievances/concemsof villagers in the Departmentsfor which they are responsible. If grievancesand concerns cannotbe resolved by the LCC, they will be broughtto the attentionof the CDR for resolution. Grievancesfor any purpose can be brought to the LCC for recordationand considerationby COTCO management. Affectedindividuals/families may seek the counsel of village chiefs and elders who can also representthem in their claims, or seek to negotiate resolution of minor disputes.

I 6.7 REVIEWSTRUCTURE AND CHANGEMANAGEMENT PROCESS It is normal that some supplemental compensation procedures and rates may require revision during the program. COTCO will implement any changes through a Change Management Process. The Change Management Process involves feedback from/during: * The Public information Campaign, the CLS, and public inquiries held as part of the compensation process. * From the Republic of Cameroon through the PSMC. * Formal and informal discussions with individuals and during village meetings. * Testing of the valuations of resources during the compensation process. * Monitoring of inflation in the cost of goods and services. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 6-15 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROON PORTION - VOLUME 3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT * Suggestionsfrom interestedorganizations. COTCO will evaluate information received and assess if follow-up inquiries or changes are necessary and appropriate. If COTCO assesses that additional follow-up is appropriate, COTCOwill notify the PSMCfor scheduledinput and comment. COTCOwill considerthis input and incorporateit into the decision-makingprocess.

These goals and variables are in addition to those discussed elsewhere in other Project documents, such as the monitoring parameters set forth in the EMP. The variables proposed here are designed to measure the success of the land acquisition and compensation process, and the success of individuals and families to re-establish their economic land base on temporarily used land. In the following Section, issues and variables associated with different aspects of Project development are discussed. 7.2 MONITORING PROCESS 7.2.1 Collecting and Recording of Comparable Data The ability to successfully evaluate impacts (negative, neutral, and positive) requires: * Selection of appropriate, defined variables which can be directly linked to direct Project affects (e.g., amount of land under cultivation in the Land Easement, cultivation of high vs. low value crops), * Avoidance of multi-variate measures which can vary due to a number of causes not directly Project related (e.g., general measures of well-being); * Development of standards for data collection and recording; - Collection of comparable information at specified intervals needed to assess affects, * Timely and proper evaluation of information to assess if changes are needed, and * Initiation of the Change Management Process described in Section 6.7. This Section identifies variables to be monitored associated with the compensation process. The Project has developed or plans to develop a number of databases which can be used in the monitoring process. The overall collection and monitoring effort will administratively follow procedures described in Volume 1, Chapter 3 of this EMP. 7.2.2 Data Collection Data on appropriate, defined variables will be collected using a variety of methods and include: Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 7-1 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORTPROJECT 7.2.2.1 Administrationof Questionnairesand Completionof InventoryForms Examplesof forms and questionnairesin use or plannedinclude: * Individual Inventory Forms: These forms include information such as each individual farmeresname, address,village, and the numberof types of compensableresources. * Compensation Forms: These forms will be used to collect information on the type of compensationrequested. As part of this effort, a random sample of individualswill also be requested, but not required, to answer questions concerning the proposed uses of the compensation. * Community InformationForms: Questionnairesmay be administeredto collect community specificinformation related to infrastructure,etc. * Key Indicators Survey: A simple survey form will be prepared to assess local food and housingprices, as a measureof comparisonto normal inflationfactors. • ResettlementEligibility Questionnaires: Individualsand families who may be eligible for relocationassistance will be asked more detailedinformation in order to track their success in establishingnew fields and re-establishingtheir agriculturalbase. Dependingupon the informationneeded, these questionnairesmay be completedby specialists (e.g., sociologists,agronomists, etc.) or under the supervisionof specialists,by individualswho have been trained in the administrationor recordingof these data in a systematicfashion. This may include use of the LCCs, other Project personnel,or other organizations.This work will be under the oversight of COTCO'senvironmental monitoring staff. 7.2.2.2 Evaluationof ProjectStatistics and RequiredPeriodic Reports Project specificationscall for contractorsto periodicallysubmit a report to COTCO conceming their local procurement practices, employment, and housing. These data may be used to evaluatethe success in meeting Projectgoals. These reports will be prepared by the responsible Project personnel and evaluated by a designatedmember of COTCO'senvironmental monitoring staff. 7.2.2.3 ParticipantObservation and Key Interviews The following two techniques are best used by an individual with specific training in such techniques. The basic premiseof this techniqueis to systematicallycollect informationon a set of topics by observing particularactivities in a community. These qualitativeobservations are later coded and usedto track changesin communities. May 1999 7-2 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 During key interviews, a sample of knowledgeableindividuals in a sample of communitiesis interviewedwithout replacementover a set period of time. These individualsmay include the village chief, a key health worker,key representativeof women's interests,etc. Followinga first interview,they are reinterviewedconceming the same issuesduring the courseof the study. In the case of this Project, it would be both beforethe start of construction,during or immediately following initial start-up,and at regularintervals during construction. 7.2.3 Databases 7.2.3.1 CompensationDatabase One major sourceof informationto be used as part of the compensationmonitoring effort is the Compensation Database containing information on over 3,600 iridividual farmers to whom compensationis due as a result of Project land needs. This number is expected to increase following completionof the road survey. For each individualidentified in the database,detailed information has been collected on the number and types of plants and square meters of different types of crops in the pipeline easement. As the compensationprocess progresses, additionalinformation such as total compensationpaid and type of compensationselected (cash or in-kind)will be entered. Additionalfields such as grievancesexpressed (type and date), and resolution (how resolved and date) can be entered to generate the basic descriptive data describedbelow 7.2.3.2 CommunityInformation Database In addition to the CompensationDatabase, information is in the processof being collected on the 238 villages whose lands are needed by the Project. Informationfrom these Community InformationQuestionnaires will provide informationon communities. 7.2.3.3 Other Databases Other databaseswill be developedas neededto evaluateboth qualitativeand quantitativedata. 7.2.4 Timing After Project approval and prior to Project construction, more detailed strategies will be developedto collect and evaluatedata needed. This work will be conductedunder the auspices of the Project's environmental monitoring staff and will include a specific timeline for the developmentof questionnairesand database,testing the usefulnessof these, establishmentof a time schedule for administrationof the questionnaires,and proceduresfor evaluation and input. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc 7-3 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHAD EXPORTPROJECT 7.3 EXPROPRIATIONAND COMPENSATIONPAYMENT PROCESS Overall,land expropriationand releaseprocedures as set forth in this Plan are designedto meet the intent of World Bank directives regardingcompensation. In addition to ensuringwide and unrestricted representation of affected individuals during public inquiries conducted in expropriation/evictioncases, it also established the basis for assessment and payment of appropriatecompensation in a transparentand fair manner. The overalltransparency and fairness of the Planwill be assessedby monitoring: * The proportionof contentiouscases out of the total numberof expropriatedindividuals in a given area or alongthe entirepipeline route; * The qualitativeanalysis of disputes(minor or difficultto manage); * The time within which disputesare settledand the numberof settled disputes. The type of compensationselected and reasonsfor the selectionwill be monitored. Collection and timely feedback of this informationcan assist in making adjustment to the compensation process as payments are made along the length of the pipeline route. Informationto be collectedincludes: * Percentage of individuals selecting all cash or a combination of cash and in-kind compensationby Department; * Variables influencing selection of in-kind compensation(size of compensationpayment, types of in-kind compensationsprovided, availability of bankingfacilities); * Proposeduse of payments. If, as a result of monitoring,it is clear that the overall goals of the Plan are not being met, as indicated by measures above, changes to the Plan will be considered, as part of change managementprocess. 7.4 FIXED FACILITYSITES LANDACQUISITION As discussedin Section4.4.2 and AppendixB socioeconomicstudies have not been completed at some fixed facility sites and follow-upassessments are neededat others. In generalthe land acquisition process can be divided into two parts: (1) acquisition, and (2) reuse after construction of the pipeline. The only exceptionsbeing the Pump Stations and two storage yards which will be usedfor the life of the Project.

As needed,the Projectwill assist individualsand families as set forth in Section1.2.6. 7.5 PIPELINELAND EASEMENT One of the key goals of the Project is to ensure that affected individualsand families keep at least the same standardof living after Projectexecution, as they had prior to constructionof the Project. Sincethe majorityof the land neededby the Projectis for the pipelineLand Easement (about3,200 ha), much of the successof the Projectdepends on the ability to ensurecontinuing accessto this land, and the ability for individualsand families to re-usethis land subjectto the restrictionsover the 10-15m wide systemeasement over the buriedpipe itself. As discussed in Section 4.2 and Appendix B, about 15-20 percent of the pipeline Land Easementis in active agricultureand/or fallow. Althoughland pressureis low along much of the pipeline route, the ability for individualsto re-establishfields is considereda key monitoring variable. To accomplishthis goal,the followingvariables will be monitoredusing a samplingframe based on a multi-year monitoringprogram without replacementof sampledindividuals/communities in the sample. These variables will be monitored at a minimum one and three years after construction. Variable Basis Purpose Percentland in ROWin Comparisonto CLSinformation Assessability of the population agricultural to reuseland Types/valuesof crops/trees Comparisonto CLSinformation Assessrelative contribution to incomeof affectedindividuals andgroups Agriculturalproductivity of the Directobservation, Assessrelative contribution to disturbedsoil measurement,account for income variationin rainfall,etc. These measures will be in addition to any set forth in the EnvironmentalMonitoring Plan in Volume 1.

Compensation to be paid for direct Project impacts in the road easements include crops, cultivated trees, and other improvements. Since the edges of the road must be periodically cleared, individuals will be encouraged not to re- establish crops in the road shoulder. However, any economic offsets are expected to be mitigated not only by payment of compensation, but also by increased trading opportunities. Variables to be monitored include: * Increase of vehicular travel, both Project and non-Project. * Number of market trucks/traders operating in communities. May 1999 7-6 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATION PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORTPROJECT CAMEROON PORTION- VOLUME3 Changes in market access including: quantitative measures and qualitative measures of the typeslquantities/prices of goods and commodities being sold locally and exported. These measures are in addition to those proposed elsewhere to measure health and safety issues. 7.8 COMMUNITY COMPENSATIONS AT FIXED FACILITY SITES AND REGIONAL COMPENSATIONS This Compensation Plan sets forth provisions for the identification and implementation of community compensations and regional compensations. As stated in earlier Sections of this Plan the compensations will be in-kind and may include a wide range of items such as distribution of improved agricultural plantings, healthcare and or vaccination programs, construction of schools, drilling of wells, and improvements of roads and the general environment. Since COTCO will not provide for long-term maintenance of these facilities, communities will be encouraged to select compensations that meet existing needs and that can assist in long-term needs. Monitoring of these compensations will focus the following aspects: Implementation Phase Variables Consultationand selection . Timely notificationand consultation process .

Table B-1 summarizesthe names of villages, land files, and land uses by alignmentsheets. In addition,the reader should consult the 1996 report entitled The Chad-CameroonPipeline Project Environmental Assessment: Socioeconomicand CulturalIssues. 23 In general, most of the pipeline route passesthrough rural Cameroonwhere the economy is based on agriculture. For over 50 years cash crops such as cocoa, coffee, or cotton have provideda basic sourceof incometo rural farmers. Recentfluctuations in the world market and governmentwithdrawal of investmentsupport have considerablydiminished the importanceof these crops. However,cocoa, coffee,or cotton,plantations are part of rural life, and especially older peoplemay neverabandon their 'cacaoy6re" cocoa plantation,which has been their pride for so manyyears. Palm wine, mainly derivedfrom oil palms, and sometimesfrom raffia palms, is now an important source of appreciableincome in the forested areas of the Projectarea. A liter sells for about 300 FCFA/liter,and can provide a regularincome to farmers. Hunting is still important in the less densely inhabited areas. Hunters still use traditional methods,mainly snaresand traps. Nowadays,use of guns has becomemore importantto local and commercialhunters. Often, an individualin need of bush meat will buy bullets for a hunter, who will repay him with part of his catch. The marketfor bush meat is very important,not only in the rural areasalso in the major towns. Bush meat is not only highlyvalued, it is much more expensivethan other meats (beef, mutton, chicken) in rural areas. In Yaoundeit is an importantrestaurant item and is sold as street food. It usuallycosts aboutthe same as a dish of beefor fish. Fishingin bigger rivers, like the Sanaga,produces a good incomefor some fishermen,since the demand for fish exceeds supply.

Only medium sized villages in southern Cameroon have regular markets. Village women often sell beer and soft drinks from their homes, and bars can only be found in the bigger villages. Itinerant merchants sell clothing and household utensils in the villages Salaried jobs are difficult to find outside urban areas, and those that are available are often on plantations. Along the pipeline route, salaried jobs can be found at the palm oil plantations of Socapalm near Kribi, the sugar plantations of Sosucam in Mbandjock, and Camsuco in Nkoteng. Logging companies hire in some areas along the pipeline route, especially in the Departments of Haute-Sanaga and Lom-et-Djerem, and in the Deng Deng forest. Logging in semi-deciduous forests is significant. Five to ten trees of commercial value can be harvested, per hectare, during a first cut in this zone, compared to only one or two trees per hectare in the Atlantic Littoral evergreen forest zone. B.2 OCEAN DEPARTMENT2 4 Many ethnic groups live in the Ocean Department; those leading the most traditional lifestyles being generally categorized as the Bantus and Pygmies. Each is culturally distinctive and have their own communities. Most live along the main roads those between Kribi-Edea; Kribi-Bipindi- Lolodorf; Kribi-Campo, and Kribi-Akom II. Most individuals are Christians of various denominations. Around Kribi most are Roman Catholics with some Presbyterians. More recently, churches have been established by the Neo- apostolic church and by Jehovah's witnesses. The major commercial activities are in the Kribi area and include industrial plantations such as Socapaim (palm oil) and Hevecam (rubber), and some commercial enterprises in the harbor area, and a weekend tourist trade. Retirees from the private enterprises play important roles in the local economy. Outside of Kribi, the coastal Batanga rely on fishing, while other groups rely primarily on subsistence agriculture and cocoa as a cash crop. There are only two markets in the region: the daily market in Kribi and the weekly market, on Saturdays, in Bipindi. The coastal populations have markets but no products to sell, and the inland populations have products to sell but no market, as transport costs are very high. 24 The economyof the area has been extensivelystudied by GEPFEduring the market survey of August 1997 (Kribi and Lolodorf), the socio-economicstudies around the storage yards (Kribi, Bipindi and Lolodorf)and during the consultationprocess for the Bakola Pygmies. This text is based on the reports written by GEPFE.

Local villagers work on these projectswhenever possible. Rainfall of about 2,000 to 3,000 mm/year allows a growing season of 245-365 days. Subsistenceagriculture is widely practicedfollowing an agriculturalcycle that lasts for 2-3 years followedby a fallow periodof 5 to 15 years. Cocoafields are still planted,but sincethe world pricesof cocoa and coffee crumbledduring the late 1980s,their importancehas diminishedsubstantially. During the last few years prices have risen, but fields have not been significantlyrehabilitated. Many plantationshave crop disease problems. Since pest control products are not readily available, many farmers have little production. In the Kribi area most people grow only food crops. lntercroppedfields belong to the woman and in rare instancesto men as well. The coastalpopulations primarily grow cassava, but their agriculturalproductivity is low comparedto inlandgroups whose agriculturalproduction is more varied and with higheryields. A typical crop rotationin the Kribi area is as follows: Year (Bidou) (Bikondo) (Bwambe) Fallow 4-5 years 3-4 years 5 years 1A cucumber, yam, macabo Maize + groundnuts + cassava Cassava + maize + some cocoyam 1B Cassava + bananas + yam + cocoyam 2 cucumber-cassava-maize Consumption of cassava Consumption of cassava 3 Consumption of cassava Mostproduce is sold in the villagesfor food crops and at the beach for fish and fishing products. Selling at the Kribi market is rare. The most frequentlysold items includecassava tubers, their derivatives, and salt-water products such as fish. These items are an important source of income. In the Lolodorf area men farm, tap palm wine, and hunt. Women farm and sell produce in the Saturdaymarket. Most agriculturalproduction is food crops. Cocoa,the only cash crop, is of little importanceand the plantationsbelong to men. Coffeewas formerly an importantcrop but was abandonedby most farmers about 10 years ago. Fruit trees are abundantand are usually more than 25 years old. Fruits and nuts for food and many medicinalplants are gatheredthroughout the Department. Exceptfor traditionalhealers, women usuallyhave more knowledgeconceming medicinal plants for daily use than men. The Bantus buy Strophanthuslianas for medical purposes from Pygmiesfor their use.

Some individualskeep sheep,goats and chickens but their use is limited to festive occasions. Hunting is also importantthroughout the area, but game is rapidly diminishingdue to population pressure,use of riffles,hunting with lamps duringthe night, illegal huntersfrom outside the area (poachersor "braconniers"),and logging activities. Salt-waterfishing is practicedonly by the Batangaaround Kribi. Some river dwelling peoplefish in the LokoundjeRiver but it appearsto be of secondaryimportance. B.3 NYONG-ET-SO'O The pipelinecrosses only 16.2 km in the Nyong-et-So'oDepartment or less than two percentof its total length. The 1987 censusindicated a populationof 96,038. The most important ethnic group in the area is the Ewondo, belonging to the Beti. The populationis largelyChristian of various Catholicand Protestantdenominations. The livelihood is very similar to that of the Mvenguearea (Oc6andepartment). Significantforest reservesstill exist, and Leplaideurestimated sufficient land was availablefor 80 percentof the farmers,although 11 percent of the availableland for agriculturehas already been used. The agriculturalsystem practiced in this region is slash-and-bumagriculture. A land use of over 12 percentin swidden agriculturemeans that fallow periods are too short and longtimefertility not assured. Rainfall is lower than in the Ocean province and the forest is of the semi evergreen style accordingto Letouzey. Agriculture is based on crop rotations similar to Oc&an Department using crops such as groundnuts,cassava, macabo, cucumber,and plantain. As in the whole peri-urban area of Yaounde, the diet is based on cassava and peanuts (Leplaideur, 1985; Santoir, 1992; Koppert,et aL, 1997). Yearly differencesin climatic conditionsplay an important role in food sufficiency. B.4 MEFOU-ET-AKONO The pipeline crosses the Mefou-et-AkonoDepartments for 56 km. The population is mainly made up of the Ewondo (Beti ethnic group), and the estimated population density varies between40 and 60 inhabitants/km2 (Santoir,1992). In 1992the old Mefoudepartment was split into two, Mefou-et-Akonoand Mefou-et-Afamba.Population of the two departmentsgrew about 14 percentfrom 125,000inhabitants in 1976to 143,000in 1987. Accordingto missionreports at least 90 percentof the populationis Catholic. A few families are Protestant,and there are some Muslim immigrants. Newer churches and sects are starting to attract some members.

The road connectingNgoumou to Kribi and to Yaounde(about 30 km) is in a poor state of repair. The Ngoumoueconomy was formerly based on cocoa cultivation,but has since shiftedto food productionmeant for the Yaounde urban area. No importantcommercial and manufacturing activities have been established in the area. Logging is absent. The commercialactivities in the region are: the sale of cocoa, agriculturalproducts and palm wine and petty trading. As elsewhere,palm wine is a very regular source of income. The local markets have a strong growthpotential. Ngoumou is an important educationcenter for the area with primary and secondary schools. The literacy rate is high, but so is the dropout rate from the schools, often because of parents inabilityto pay school fees. However,most peoplespeak French. Accordingto a recent survey by a CatholicMission, 25 the averagefamily size is 5.4 in the area and 62 percentof the population is less than 25 years old. The report describesthe area as one of degraded forest, rather swampy and of low fertility, and thus suited for agriculture. Income is low, and the area is characterizedas being "structurally poor," as shown by the quality of housing, sanitary conditions, the lack of good medical care and difficulties of communication. Mefou-et-Akono,is located in an agro-ecologicalzone 5, a semi evergreen forest, with a bimodal rainfall (May-June and September-November).Rainfall reaches 1700 mm and the average temperature is 240C. Land use is dense in both Mefou departments. Leplaideur (1985) states that 15 percent of the land is under cultivation,which is high for a system based on slash-and-burnagriculture. Cassava is the main food crop, but which suffersfrom cochineal,mosaic virus and early rot of the roots maize and groundnutsare also cultivated,but in lesserquantities. Bananasgrow well in the area, but plantain banana are rare. Cocoyamis of secondaryimportance, as are yams and sweet potatoes. Some farmers grow beans and soybeans. Vegetables include various Amaranthusand Solanumleaves, bitterleaf,gumbo, red pepper,and onions. The main cash crop in the area is cocoa, but once again, due to low prices and the absenceof fertilizer and pest control, its productionis dwindling. Perennialcrops are cocoa, fruit trees: (mangoes,bush butter, avocado,citrus fruits) cola tree, raffia and oil palms, and pineapple. Oil palms, which are semi domesticated,are more and more rare as they are reserved for the productionof palm wine. 25 Centred'Etudes Redemptor hominis (1995); Programmer ensemble le developpement.Enquete socio-economiquedans les missionsd'Ozom, Nkum-Eye, Nkol-Messi).

Other fishing is in the Akono River durng the dry season. Fishing in the artificial ponds, left after the railroad construction, is accessible to the entire population. Game is scarce and hunting is rarely practiced anymore. B.5 MFOUNDI The pipeline route crosses only 1.3 km of this department, affecting only one village. The village of Nkolnkoumou has an estimated population of about 2000 that belong to the ethnic groups of Ewondo, Bamilekes, and Eton. The village has a primary school and a health clinic, but no electricity. Economic activities are oriented towards the Yaounde market. B.6 LEKIE Lekie is part of a densely populated area (75-150 inhabitants/km) and includes important villages near the former dirt surfaced road to Douala such as that of Ngoya (population 2,500) and the asphalt road of Ydi-Okola, and near the Yaounde-Bafia asphalt road. The markets at Okola on Saturdays and NKometou on Sundays, constitute very important supply centers for the Yaounde area. Proximity to Yaounde, makes the sale of agricultural products important not only for women, but increasingly important for men. Palm wine used to be a wide spread product and was sold in large quantities. It is still an important product, but many of the local palm trees were cut down during the last decade and not replanted. As a result, the amount of palm wine which can be produced and sold is limited. Cocoa is an important source of revenue. Traditionally, Eton's plant a main food crop field with cassava, plantain, cocoyam, sugar cane and cucumber (Ngon, Cucumeropsis mannil), and smaller fields with groundnuts. Yams are grown in other fields, often in monoculture. Now maize has become more important, since it is easily sold at market. Plantain bananas are grown in the kitchen gardens near the house, but bigger fields further in the bush are also used.

The pipeline crosses the arrondissementsof Soa and of Esse. The former is densely populated and close to Yaounde with about 60-80 inhabitants/km2 (Santoir, 1992. Towards Esse it is more rural and the populationdensity falls to less than 20 inhabitants/km2. In NKometou,the populationis mainly Eton, an ethnic group of the Beti family. Agriculture is very similar to that practicedin the L6kiedepartment. B.8 HAUTE-SANAGA Haute-Sanagais crossed by 173 km of pipeline including, 10 km in the CAMSUCO agro- industrialplantation. The 1987census cited a populationof about 80,000 individuals. Most ethnic groups in the Departmentare relatedto the Beti group. The sugar plantationsthe Toupouri,Massa, and Mousgoumhave migrated from northernCameroon to do manual labor in the sugar plantation. Towardsthe east, other groups from the north, such as the Fulb6, have their southernextension. Bamilekeare especiallyactive in commercialactivities. The Nanga Eboko region in the Haute-SanagaDepartment is the northern limit of the Beti populations. Most ethnic groups in the area understandeach other, includingthe Ewondo-B6ti or Eton-Betispeaking people, except the Baboul1,that live near Mbandjock. The majority of the populationis Christian,mainly Catholic or Protestants. Muslim minoritiesare immigrantsfrom the north, and some animismis practicedamong some of the southerners. The railway is very importantin the local economy,as the road networkis often in a poor state of repair. As a result, the rail system is used extensivelyto transport food products to the Yaounde markets for sale, and by the two agro-industrialsugar production complexes: the SOSUCAM(in Mbandjock)and the CAMSUCO(in Nkoteng). Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc B-7 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT Agricultureis the major economicactivity of the region. In the southern forested areas coffee, cocoa, and plantaingrow the best, and the northern savannasare suitablefor maize, cucumber and groundnuts. There arefour climatic seasonsin this region,including two rainy seasons andtwo dry seasons. Yearly rainfall ranges from 1,200 to 1,500 mm. Fields, sown in March, produce better than those sown in August, but in manyfields farmers plant only in March. * Local agriculture of the Beti type, with strong emphasis on tubers, bananas, and maize cultivation. * Foodcrop fields grown by the estimated5,000 SOSUCAMand CAMSUCOworkers, most of whom are from northernCameroon. Most of their fields are located in gallery forests inside the plantations. The crops grown (cereals,maize, yam, sorghum and red sorrel), as well as the agricultural methods used, resemble those of the north. They also grow cassava, (manioc),macabo, sweet potatoand other tubers, followingthe agriculturalpractices of the local populations. Local cash crops are varied. Cocoa and Robusta coffee are the main crops, with coffee becomingmore importantthan cocoa. Marketcrops such as tomatoes,melons, and vegetables are sometimesgrown for local marketsand for transport by rail to urban centers Sugar cane is grown for both home consumptionand for sale in local markets. Oil palms have just been introducedin the region.

It is called ofara bikoro (the fallow invader). People fish in the Sanaga river, althoughfishing is generally limited to villages closest to the river. Hunting is an extremelyvalued activity for the men, but consumptionof bush meat is not as significantin this area as in the forest zones.

The town of Belabo has a mixed population. These populations are different from the Ewondo-Beti group. In the Betare Oya area the main ethnic group is the Gbaya. B.9.1 B6labo Arrondissement The area around Belabo is densely populated, especially along the railroad track. Further north, density diminishes rapidly, and for a stretch of 70 km near the Deng Deng forest no fields are to be found. Over the last 38 km of the Betare Oya arrondissement there are again some villages and fields. Belabo is the main town of the suns-prefecture (in the department of Lom-et-Djerem, capital Bertoua). Its population in 1987 was about 23,000 inhabitants for an area of 5,960 km2 or about 4 inhabitants/km2 . It is an important market place, developed on the railway line from Yaounde to Ngaound6re. It is an important dispatch center of wood toward SOFIBEL. The town is linked to Bertoua, the capital of the Eastern Province, by a good tarred road. The main market crop transported by train to Northern Cameroon is plantain. The climate is bimodal with two rainy seasons (March-June and September-October), and a total rainfall between 1,200 and 1,500 mm. The vegetation is a transitional zone savanna - forest. This region is characterized by the higher production of maize than cassava, and the fact that cassava is not planted at the beginning of the rotation of the field, but only after one or more crops of maize, cucumbers and groundnuts. The fields lie fallow for long periods, but are used far longer than in the western zone of the project area. Soils appear to be more fertile here than in the forest zones to the west. Cash crops are cocoa, Robusta coffee, rubber and pineapple. Average yield is, according to the agricultural extension service, 1,000 kg/ha for coffee and 800 kg/ha for cocoa. Such yields are higher than those observed in other departments. Maize is the staple food around Belabo, followed by cassava. Both products are eaten as a thick paste called "foufou." Secondary crops are plantain, banana, cocoyam, yam and sweet potato. There is a tendency to have separate fields for plantain bananas, cocoyam and yam. Market garden crops are tomato, parsley, leek, and celery. They are cultivated in the fields around Belabo. Some are sold in the market, but several are shipped to Ngaounder&.

The pipeline crosses the area in its least densely populatedregion, of which large parts are uninhabited. The populationof the district in 1987 was 33,000 inhabitants. Most of them are of the Gbaya ethnic group, and are farmers. Some Fulbe merchantsand Mbororo cattle herders live in the area. The town, founded by the Germans during their colonial occupationof Cameroon,is knownfor gold mining. Here, contrary to practicesof all the other populationsto the south, fields are tilled before the planting. Plantingand sowingare in a regular patternonly in the fields of farmers that follow the recommendationsof the agriculturalextension program. Fertilizer and pesticides are hardly used, as they are unavailable. However,there is a strong demandfor these products. The most importantcash crop cultivated in the region is Robustacoffee. Around Bitom, some cocoa is grown. Tobaccohas been introducedby the CameroonianTobacco Company.

Avocados are planted mainly around the compounds. Oil palms do not grow naturally in the region, but are mostly planted. A small commercial plantation exists in Boull. There is no real sexual division of agricultural labor, and all activities are practiced by men and women alike. There are mutual assistance groups that are invited to help in the agricultural labor. B.10 MBERE DEPARTMENT The population of this wooded savanna zone is comprised predominantly of Gbaya farmers, with substantial minorities of pastoral Fulbe herders, and sedentary Fulbe farmers and traders. Population density in the area is 5-10 persons/kM2, except in the immediate surroundings of Meiganga, the principal town with a population of some 31,000 according to the 1987 census. From 1966 to 1987, according to the national census, the department's population doubled, corresponding to an annual growth rate of some 3.5 percent. The largest religious group in the Mbere Department is the Lutherans (EELC), followed by the Catholics. Islam is practised by a sizeable minority. Modem education came relatively late to the Mber6 region, but most larger villages now have a primary school, run by government or by churches. Secondary school is only locally available in Meiganga. Opportunities for local employment for people with primary and secondary diplomas are currently very limited. Koranic schools exist in several villages and towns. Commercial activity in the department, aside from the very important cattle trade, is limited mainly to small and medium scale trade in consumer and agricultural products, within the system of weekly rotational markets. The settlements of the department, with the exception of the herders' encampments, are largely concentrated along roads with motor traffic, and large tracts of land away from the road remain only very lightly utilized. Transport links with the rest of Cameroon are rather of poor quality, with the unpaved national north-south motor road in a very bad state. A paved road from Meidougou gives access to the railhead town of Ngaoundal, some 120 km to the west. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc B-11 May 1999 COMPENSATION PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT The economy of the Mbere Department is based on subsistence and market-oriented agriculture, with cassava and maize being the principal crops, and on cattle herding by transhumant Fulbe herders. Other crops include groundnuts,sweet potatoes, yams, and a great diversityof vegetables,including gourd seeds, okra, red pepper, amaranth,and other leaf plants. Bananas, mangoes, pineapples,citrus and guavas are relatively common, and small livestockis raised fruits. Agricultural land is not scarce, except in the immediate vicinity of Meiganga. Most Gbaya farming families prefer to spend about one-halfthe year living in bush encampments,often at some distancefrom their homevillage, to guard distantfields, to hunt, gather bush productsand fish. Cassava fields are traditionally planted in the upland wooded savannas and begin to produceafter some 14 months;the cassavacontinues to yield for some 4 to 5 years, after which the field is fallowed for a minimumof 15-20 years. Maize is normally cultivatedby long-fallow methods in the wooded valley bottoms. Most Gbaya fields are usually intercropped with subsidiaryspecies. Fulbe cattle herders utilize the wooded savannas of the Mbere Departmentchiefly in the wet season (May-October),moving further south during the dry season to seek green pastures. Stocking rates on the pasturesof the Mbere Departmentare not, generally excessive,except in certain areas on the southernflanks of the Mbere river valley, where groups of herders have concentratedto take advantageof favorableherding and marketconditions. Cattle trade is a key element in the local economy,and the systemof rotationalweekly markets, held in numeroustowns and villagesin the region, is much more active during the wet season when the herders are present. B.11 VINADEPARTMENT The pipeline crosses about 24 km of Vina. The Belel arrondissementhad a population of 21,000 in 1987. The ecologyof the area is similarto Mbere Department;31 per cent of the area crossedby the pipelineis estimatedto be coveredwith fields. The population of this wooded savanna zone is comprised of sedentary and pastoral Fulbe, several Mbum-speakinggroups, and Gbaya. Populationdensity is 5-10 persons per kM2, with the population concentrated along the few roads of the region (except for herders' encampmentsin the bush). The predominantreligion of the area is Islam,with significantminorities practicing the Lutheran and Catholic faiths. Public facilities are available in B6lel.

Agriculturalland is generally available. Cassava is the principal crop of Gbaya farmers, who utilize long-fallow farming methods. Subsidiary crops include maize, groundnuts, sweet potatoes,okra, peppers,amaranth and other leafy vegetables. Mbum and Fulbe cultivatorsfocus particularlyon sorghum,with cassava, maize, groundnuts, sweet potatoes, okra, peppers and various leafy vegetablesalso important. Mbum and Fulbe utilize short fallow methods, employinganimal dung and fertilizers where available, and also sometimesuse ox ploughs. Hunting and fishing are of limited significancein the department,while certain bush products- such as kariteand nere (dadawa)used for sauces- are gatheredin some quantity. Cattle raising, particularlyby the Fulbe,forms another importantelement in the local economy. Transhumantpastoral Fulbegroups visit the area duringthe wet season but are largely absent in the dry season (Octoberthrough April). The more common mode of cattle herding in the region is based on an agro-pastoralsystem practiced by sedentaryFulbe farmer-herders,who nonethelessalso send their herds out of the region during the dry season in search of greener pasturesand water. B.12 MAYO REY DEPARTMENT The populationis comprisedof several Mbum-speakinggroups, sedentaryand pastoral Fulbe, and Gbaya. Populationdensity is 5-10 persons per kM2, with populationconcentrated along the few roads of the region. Road access in the area of the departmentthat the pipeline ROW traverses is poor, with some areas that can become inaccessible to vehicles in the rainy season. The predominantreligion of the area is Islam,with significantminorities practicing the Lutheran and Catholic faiths. The school system is poorly developed. Many villages still lack primary schools and, even where schools have been built,there is often difficulty in recruitingteachers, many of whom do not wish to live in this isolated region. Modern health facilities are also absentin the zone adjacentto the pipelineROW. The economy of the area is based primarily on subsistence and cash-crop agriculture. Agricultural land is generally available. Cassava is the principal crop of Gbaya farmers, who utilize long-fallow farming methods. Subsidiary crops include maize, groundnuts, sweet potatoes, okra, peppers, amaranth and other leafy vegetables.

Mbum and Fulbe utilize short fallow methods, employinganimal dung andfertilizers where available,and also sometimesuse ox ploughs. Cotton is the most important cash crop in much of this region, especially in the plain area adjacentto the Chad frontier. The governmentalcotton para-statalSODECOTON takes a very active role in promoting this crop, offering extension advice and assistance to farmers, extendingcredit for seeds and chemical inputs, maintainingroads, offeringveterinary care for oxen, and purchasing the crop. Cotton is thereforecultivated using quite intensivemethods on permanentlycleared fields. Cattle raising, particularly by the Fulbe, forms another element in the local economy. Environmentally,however, the region is not a prime cattle herdingarea, and trypanosomiasis is a particular threat, which is combated with modern drugs where available. Transhumant pastoral Fulbevisit the areain small numbers,usually during the dry season. Aside from cotton marketing and the very active market on the Chad frontier at Mbai Mboum, the market economy of the region is quite poorly developed. Many villagesare only served by itinerant"buyam-sellam" traders on bicycles.

APPENDIXC COMPENSATIONISSUES RELATED TO BAKOLAPYGMIES C.1 INTRODUCTION The following Appendix was prepared by Groupe d'Etude des Populations Forestieres Equatoriales(GEPFE). The purposewas to set forth-specificissues related to individualand communitycompensation, which may be appropriatefor Bakola Pygmy settlementsaffected by Project land needs. Becausethe Bakola Pygmiesare considered vulnerablepeoples by the World Bank (see OperationalDirective 4.20, September 1991), informationwas gathered to assess appropriatecompensation measures related specificallyto the Bakola Pygmies. Based on this assessment,compensation will includeprovisions discussed below. C.2 RESOURCESELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION Pygmy camps have been avoidedas much as practicableduring the CenterlineSurvey (CLS) through re-routing of the pipeline. Individualdamage to their fields and crops will be minimal, but some damage can be expectedto occur to trees used for food and/or medicinethat are dispersedin the forest, and may require some compensation. Resourceseligible for individual compensationare the same as those set forth in Section6.0 of this Plan. Individualproperty includes: * Food and cash crops. * Fruit, medicinaltrees, and plants. * Forestresources that can be traced backto individualproprietors. * Housesand other constructions. * Sacred sites such as graves, sacredtrees, and other sacred items(thoughlargely avoided during the CLS, these might be found in the 30 m width of the route during the construction phase). Individual property should be compensatedas far as possible using fixed rates; e.g., as establishedduring the market surveywith compensationin-kind as discussedbelow. C.3 ISSUESRELATED TO PAYMENTOF COMPENSATION GEPFE has providedthe followingcomments regarding Pygmy compensationduring the CLS. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc C-1 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT C.3.1 SpecificNeeds of the Bakola * Recognitionof their civil status and their civil rights in the same way as other Cameroonian populations. * Educationwould help them to understandand negotiatewith outsideinterests. * Hygieneand public health are lackingmore for the Pygmiesthan for other populations. * Insufficientagricultural production makes them more dependenton other populations. * Self-confidenceand pride are still lacking. C.3.2 IndividualCompensation In the Kribi-Lolodorfarea, all CLS compensationin 1997 and 1998 was paid to the owner of the crops, not the owners of the land. This is an importantdifference. Pygmies often live on village land or on land given to them by Bantuvillagers. Ownersof land and crops presentedthemselves during the CLS to the survey team. The CLS team was always accompaniedby the village chief (who is paid for this work) and bush-cutters from the same village. Although one can imaginethat disputes can originate on whom is the rightful owner/userof resources,few disputestook place. During the CLS, compensationwas paid during a public meeting in the presenceof the village, a COTCO representative,and the owner/user. Paperswere signed anda digital photographwas taken as a proof of payment. As has been promised during the CLS, future individualcompensation for Pygmiescan be in- kind. During the CLS, most Pygmiespreferred in-kind compensationconsisting of construction material and corrugated iron sheets in those cases where the amount of money for compensationallowed for purchase of a sufficientnumber of sheets to cover a roof (GEPFE, 1998). Other items to be purchased for lesser amounts of compensation are machetes, kerosenelamps and kitchenutensils. Compensationof food crops can be in cash, but provisionsshould be taken to provide improved planting material to the farmers for in-kind compensationof trees: fruits, coffee, cocoa, oil palms. In-kind compensationfor cocoa, coffee and other cash crops should not only include improvedplanting material, but also includefertilizer and pest control productsnecessary for the new field to come into maturity. Assistancemay be neededto organize this, as the planting seasonfor these crops not necessarilycorresponds to the moment of payment,and to show the correct use of fertilizer and pest controlproducts. Disagreementsare usually avoidablebut when they occur but they must be dealt with as much as possiblein a local contextwith the villagechief and the village elders. May 1999 C-2 Cam EngCP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN EVVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 Gender issues can partly be avoided by paying compensationto the person who actually cultivatesthe fields. For food crops in South Cameroon,this is usuallythe woman. C.4 SPECIFICSOCIOCULTURAL CONSTRAINTS OF THE BAKOLA Compensationshould consider: * The ostracismof Pygmiesby other Cameroonians. * Their seasonalmobility with permanentsettlements and huntingcamps in the forest. * That Pygmy settlementsare frequentlyfar from the villagesof the other ethnicgroups. * The interrelationshipsbetween Pygmies and villagersare ancient. * Pygmieshave a non-hierarchicalegalitarian society. * The function of Pygmy chief is not a traditional one, but was imposed by the (colonial) administration. Chiefs are not always representativeof the population, and important decisionsare taken togetherby all adult men of the settlement. - Pygmieshave very limited personalproperty, but appropriationof resourceson a collective basis is important. It is extremely importantnot to interferewith the equilibriumthat exists between Pygmiesand Bantu villagers by giving help and equipmentto the Pygmieswithout equivalentcompensation to the villagers. This would be a seriouserror and could lead to importantsocial and interethnic tension.

The remaining studies will be completed prior to Project start-up. The terms of reference will be modified for each site dependingupon variablessuch as: * The location of each yard (urban/ruralarea). * Possibilityof individualsbeing displaced. * Use of the yard (logisticscenter with a large numberof supportpersonnel present versus a pipe storageyard with fewer individuals). This will need to be evaluatedon a case-by-casebasis. One of the key issues in the socioeconomicanalysis is the nature of land tenure, since the majority of land needed by the Project is held under customaryrights. It is the goal of the Projectthat there be no resettlementin Cameroon. To date stackedProject facilities have been sited in such a manneras to avoid the need for resettlement,although relocation is expected at one location. The following documentation will be recorded for individual and household assets and investmentson land neededby the Projectin orderto assess Project-specificimpacts. * Mappingof individualhousehold uses of land to be acquired. * Documentationof the use of each field or locationover the last several years (for example, when a field was cleared,or when it was tumed overto fallow). * Recordingof the location,types, and agesof all individuallyowned trees. * Recordingof other assets and investmentsthat are potentiallycompensable. * Photo documentationof affected resourceswith landmarksin the background,which can be identifiedafter land clearing. * Documentationof total square meters and percent of each individual owner/user's land needed by the Projectin relationshipto their total landholdings. * Informationon how the individualwould acquire new land for activitiessuch as farming or grazingto replacethose neededby the Project.

For each category, these rates per m have been computed based on a 100 m2 area at ground level (see attachment on the classification of houses to be expropriated/compensation rates). The state of dilapidation has been estimated on the basis of formulas provided by the Administration and is given by: - VA = VN x V (see attachment) - VA = Present Value - VN = Value when new - V = Dilapidation Coefficient. The total cost VA is increased by 5% to account for the electrical installation and by another 5% for the water system. The present value takes into account the house's age and the level of maintenance, as shown in the following table prepared by the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing. THE VALUES USED FOR THE DILAPIDATIONCOEFFICIENT "V" ARE BASED ON THE INFORMATIONPRESENTED IN THE FOLLOWINGTABLE No. Type Of Structure Age Average Dilapidation Coefficient 1 New with no defects 0 to 2 years 1 2 Clean and well maintained (on the inside 2 to 5 years 0.90 and outside) 2 bis Badlymaintained 2 to 5 years 0.80 3 Well maintained 5 to 10 years 0.80 4 Well maintained 10 to 15 years 0.70 5 Well preserved 15 to 20 years 0.60 6 Habitable 20 to 30 years 0.40 7 Habitable but badly maintained 30 to 40 years 0.20 8 Habitable Over 40 years 0.10 TABLE 2: HABITABILITYCOEFFICIENT Factors Partial Observations Coefficient Layout of rooms inside the house, 0 to 0.35 around the iiving room Immediate neighborhood 0 to 0.30 Make the distinction between a house and an apartment Building's location 0 to 0.15 Make the distinction between rural, urban, and Iperi-urban settings May 1999 1-20 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENWRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORTPROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 Building's orientation 0 to 0.20 Orientation with respect to the south for the kitchen and patio or veranda; orientation of the openings and street. OTHER ASSETS TO BE EXPROPRIATED In accordance with the terms of its contract, the engineering consultant shall take into account any burial sites located on the easement, any pylons that need to be displaced, water lines, etc. and ancillary structures associated with existing buildings (fences, platforms, etc.) a) Burial Sites All burial sites (599) located within the confines of the easement have been systematically listed on the owners' inventories. Compensations for burial sites are different in nature from those for structures. In the case of burial sites, the costs are associated with the exhumation and inhumation of remains, the rebuilding of the tomb (tiled, cemented, clay), and measures aimed at bringing family members together for the occasion. The following rates have been proposed: * Exhumation/Inhumation costs: 80,000 FCFA per tomb * Rebuilding of a Tomb: - Tiled tomb = 60,000 FCFA per tomb - Cement Tomb = 40,000 FCFA per tomb - Clay Tomb = - Marble Tomb = * Costs associated with bringing family members together = 40,000 FCFA b) Ancillary Structures Such ancillary structures include fences (there are only 2 on the route section between Oveng and Akono, Mr. Atangana Sheet No. 29 at Fegmimbang 1, and Sheet No. 284 at Ngoumou in the Ngoumou Prefecture). Rates are computed based on the rate schedule used for buildings. The same applies to concrete platforms, open staircases, outside plumbing, water wells, etc. The cost of titled land, as well as acquisition (??) costs, is also included under this category. c) Pylons Pylons are listed on the planimetry layouts provided by the Committee. The displacement of these pylons is done in consultation with the concessionaire (SONEL). A total of 92 (ninety-two) pylons have been counted along the Project route.

Priorto construction,socioeconomic surveys at the remainingsites will be completed and follow-up at other sites completedas recommendedbelow. In addition, more detailed socioeconomicstudies will be completedat many sites, to supportthe socioeconomic monitoringeffort. In addition, if the proposedupdate of market pricesresults in revisionsto compensationpaid by COTCOfor cropssuch as cocoa, additionalcompensation will be paid to owners/usersof lands at fixed facility sites. L.2 SOCIOECONOMICSTUDIES AT FIXED FACILITY SITES BETWEEN KRIBI AND BELABO L.2.1 Introduction The socioeconomic surveys on the storage yards in the Departmentsof Oc6an, Mefou-et- Akono, and Lom-et-Djeremwere conductedby Dr. GeorgeKoppert and Pr. Jean-FelixLoung of GEPFE in May 1998. Both have extensive experience in Oc6an Department conceming socioeconomicand Pygmy issues.26 Dr. Koppertalso conductedthe Project'smarket survey in 1997. This survey included all of the fixed facility sites visited by Koppertduring the market survey. The results of this study can be found in the report entitled "Evaluationof Socioeconomic Impactsat the Lolodorf,Bipindi, and NgoumouStorage Yards, Belabo Pump Station, and Kribi PressureReduction Station." (Koppert and Loung 1998). L.2.2 KribiStorage Yard The storage site is located in the villages of Tala (population100-150) and Mpango (population 300-400). Tala is inhabitedprimarily by the Mabea ethnic group who is engaged in agriculture pursuits. Mpangois inhabitedprimarily mainly by the Batangagroup and immigrantsof Ewondo and Bassa. The primary economicpursuits in this village are agricultureand fishing. The two villages have a land and border dispute since at least 50 years, that includesthe area of the storageyard. 26 SeeSection 4.4.1 of this Planfor a summaryof thesestudies. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc L-1 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROON PORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORTPROJECT Although both villages are close to Kribi, they engage essentially in rural activities and few peoplehave paid jobs. At the time of the study, constructionof the storageyard was almost complete. Thirteenpeople had receivedcompensation, six for morethan 0.1 ha of land. Duringthe 2.5-dayvisit to the site Loung and Koppertinterviewed: * Local authorities,village chiefs,and village elders in bothcommunities. * The farmers, mostly women, who had been compensatedfor more than 1,000 square meters of fields for the storageyard were contacted. Resultsof the study indicated: * The dispute overthe storageyard land concernsonly the ownershipof the land. * All parties agree on the compensationof lost cropsto the land users. * Though village elders assured GEPFE that there was enough land availablein the vicinity, all concernedwomen farmerscomplained about difficulties to find replacementland. * Employmentfor locals on the constructionsite was consideredinsufficient for locals:only six peoplefrom Mpangoand ten fromTala had a job on the constructionsite. Follow-uprecommendations: * It is recommendedthat follow-upinterviews be conductedwith individualscompensated for land at the Kribi storage yard who stated they would have difficulty finding land for new fields. This informationshould be verified with local authoritiesand village chiefs and village elders. If appropriate,the Project will then implementa program of additional grants to obtain access to land and establishnew fields. L.2.3 Bipindi (Ndtouah)Construction Camp The construction camp of Bipindi is located in the village of Ndtouah II, quartier Minlouolmio about 47 km from Kribi and 20 km from Bipindi. The quartier is home to about 40 individual Bantu, mainly Ngoumbaand two Fang families. Two Pygmy camps are on the roadsidein the village, of which one seems to be abandonedand the other has 36 inhabitants. One of the Project'sCLS campshad been locatedin Ndtouahfor three months. Althoughthe GEPFEteam spent only two days in the village in May 1998,they knew the village well from the many months GEPFE spent in the area during the CLS working on consultation and reroutesaround Pygmy settlements. May 1999 L-2 Cam EngCP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 The focus of the survey was a 10 ha area of cleared land where the constructionsite may be sited. However,the sitingof this campwas not yet finalized. The population was informally contactedand the area visited one day, while a more official meeting with all the (male) villagersand Pygmieswas also organized. All aspectsof local life were discussed during these consultationssuch as agriculture, employment, land tenure, religion,sacred sites,hunting, and expectationsabout individual and communitycompensation. Subsistencefarming, cocoa growing,hunting and fishing are the main activitiesin the village. Only three people had paid jobs. The locals expectedwork and the possibilityto sell food to the workers duringthe constructionwork of the site and later of the pipeline. Results of the study indicated: * Two villagers have fields on the land where the facility was proposed. They assured the GEPFE team they had no difficultiesfinding other land. * The local populationstrongly favors the installationof a constructioncamp in the village. * Local Pygmiescontacted privately and publiclyhad no objectionseither. * The globally satisfyingway the CenterlineSurvey crews had campedin the village and had hired local laborers,positively influenced the opinionon the Project. Follow-uprecommendations: * If the location of the camp is moved,additional consultation should take place concerning the availability of replacementland, since all land appears to be claimed in the area. However,given the abundanceof land in the area,as stated in interviews,re-establishment of fields should not be difficult. L.2.4 LolodorfStorage Yard and ConstructionCamp The Lolodorf storage yard and constructioncamp is situated in the village of Sabally (approx. population 200 of different Ngoumbaclans), 1.5 km from Lolodorf. The village stretches for some three km on the roadfrom Lolodorfto Eseka. The GEPFE team visited the area and conductedinterviews with village elders from May 17 to May 19 1998, after having made a courtesyvisit to the sous-prefet. Pr Loung of the GEPFE team lives in Lolodorf, and greatlyfacilitated contacts. In this village, we discussedall aspects of local life with the elders of the concerned area, including individual and community compensation,the possibilityof sellingfood to the Project,and the Project'shiring policy. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc L-3 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT Sabally is economically dependent on Lolodorf for commerce, secondary schools, and transport. The economyis basedon agriculture,tapping of palm wine and hunting. Only some grow cocoa as a cash crop. Paidemployment is virtuallyabsent in the village. The proposedstorage yard site had been chosen after consultationof the villagers concerned. The entire area belongsto one lineageof Ngoumba. The amountand size of fields in the area is limited and GEPFE was told that there was enoughland left to create newfields. Resultsof the study indicated: * People abandonedfields at several locationswhich were under considerationfor final siting of the facility, but were ultimatelynot chosen. Better communicationis neededto assure peopleto keep growingcrops untila final decisionis made. * People told GEPFEthat they were satisfiedto have the Project come to their village and the compensationthat had alreadybeen calculated. - The villagers expressed great worries about a long-term occupation of the land and the difficultyin havingthe land returnedto them after the Project. - They are countingon local villagersbeing hired for the local workforce. * They are keenly interestedin sellingfood and preparedmeals to constructionworkers. Follow-uprecommendations: - No follow-upwork is recommended. L.2.5 NgoumouStorage Yard The GEPFE team spent three days in Ngoumouin May 1998, a town they had already visited during the Cameroon Market Survey. The Ngoumoustorage yard and construction camp is situated in the village of Nkong Meyos,about 5 km from the railroad bridge in Ngoumou. The village stretches for some 2 km on the road from Mbankomoto Ngoumou. The population of Nkong Meyos I is about 250 inhabitants,of differentTsinga clans of the Ewondoethnic group. The team contacted the local authorities (prefet and sous-prefet)and spoke with the village chief,village elders and peoplewho had fields in the projectedarea. The team discussed important aspects of village life including local economy, agriculture, religion,job opportunities,land tenure, sacredsites, hunting and related subjects. The projectedarea is alongthe Douala-Yaounderailway. The area has already been measured for the storage yard. The land is owned by two families who have it markedbut apparentlynot yet titled. One family of about 50 membershas an estimatedtotal of 98 ha of which 1-1.5 ha are taken by the storage yard. The other family (25 members) owns an area of about 60 ha, May 1999 L-4 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTPLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 includingthe remainingpart of the storageyard area that includesat least 2-3 ha of cultivated fields and a cocoa plantation. The owner of this field expressed an interest in using the compensationmoney to open a frozenfish shop. Locals consider constructionof the storage yard in the village Nkong Meyos as a welcome activity that will lead to increased economic opportunities and village development. The expectationsof its impact seem exaggerated. Recruitmentof local workers and opportunities for small trading by women,through the creation of mini markets,are very positivelyregarded by the villagechief. Follow-uprecommendations: Follow-upis neededto assesswho in the extendedfamily, which had the importantloss of land, can/hasfound new land for fields. If appropriate,the Projectwill provideassistance to find new land and re-establishthese fields. L.2.6 BelaboStorage Yard and ConstructionCamp The GEPFEteam spent 3.5 days in Belaboin May 1998,a town they had alreadyvisited during the marketsurvey in 1997. NdoumbaKanga is a large village with, accordingto its chief, about 700 inhabitants.All are of the Bobilisethnic group. The village center has about40 houses and is located 3 km SW of the railroad. The team spokewith the local authorities,and village chiefs and organizedan informalmeeting with the local population. The storage yard was already under construction and all the compensation paid before the socioeconomicstudy took place. The storage yard and construction camp affected 12 families. Three have fields in the constructionarea and needed replacementfields elsewhere. These families were contacted individually. Though everyone interviewedseemed very satisfiedwith the compensationpaid, some worries persist concerningreturning the area to its former use and about how to obtain replacementland for new fields. Accordingto the population,no land cultivatedthe previous year was not measured,and as there were no more signs of it now, there is no way to take it into accountfor purposesof compensation. Local economy is based on agriculture,cocoa and coffee,fishing, hunting, palm wine and palm oil trade. Contrary to the populationsin the forests west of Belabo, the agricultural cycle is longer with often 2-3 years of maize grown in the same field, followedby 2-3 years of cassava, and 5-7 years of fallow. Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc L-5 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT Traditional influences are much stronger in Belabo than in the areas to the West the team visited. Special precautions have to be taken and sacrifices have to be performed to the ancestorsand spirits. The contractingcompany agreed to organizesuch a celebration. Employmentwas a major issue, though 32 percent of the temporary workers came from the village and another 20 percent from the neighboring village. The complaint was that no permanentworkers were recruitedin the village. The implantation of the storage yard was well perceived in the village, but the lack of consultationprior consultationhas ledto someavoidable problems. Follow-uprecommendation: * It is recommended that follow-up interviews be conducted to determine if individuals compensatedwere able to find new land to establishfields. This informationshould be verified with local authorities,the villagechief, and villageelders. If appropriate,the Project will then implement a program of additionalgrants to obtain access to land and establish newfields. L.2.7 Recommendations The followinggeneral recommendationswere madeby GEPFEin their study. * In several cases, the socioeconomicstudies occurredduring or after construction. If these studies have taken place before the work started, some of the problems the team encounteredmight have been attenuated. * In the case of storage yards used only during construction, it is recommendedthat individualswhose land is used be compensatedeach year until the land is returned. This provisionwould make it possiblefor affected individualsto purchaseall extra food needed duringthe occupationof their land. * Trees should be compensatedonly once; although,based on the time necessaryfor a new productionof many trees, there is a strong argumentfor increasingthe compensationrate for trees by 50 percent. * Good guaranteeson the return of the storageyards to the local populationin its former state and for its former use if so desired,should be given. e It needs to be made very clear to the local populationthat, for their own (financial)interest, they must go on working their land as usual until the final compensationagreement has been signed with the Project. * Recruitmentissues are very importantand it seems difficult to completelysatisfy the local population. The main argumentsheard during the GEPFE survey were that no people (or May 1999 L-6 Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 not enough) were hired from the affected villages, and that "people responsible for recruiting"would bring kin from their own regionto be recruited locally. In Kribi, less than 25 percent of the temporarywork force came from the adjacentvillages, in Belabo more than 50 percent. * Strict adherence to COTCO central hiring policy, with preferencefor local employees is essential. Good informationon working conditionsand duration of employmentis equally very important,especially for dailyjobs of very short duration * The presenceof an official COTCOrepresentative during all public informationmeetings by contractingcompanies seems essential in orderto obtainequal and consistentapplication of the recruitmentpolicy. L.3 SOCIOECONOMICSTUDIES AT FIXED FACILITYSITES IN THE DEPARTMENTSOF MBERE,VINA, AND MAYO REY L.3.1 Introduction Dr. Phillip Burnham,an anthropologistat the Universityof Londonconducted the socioeconomic surveys for the Project in the Departmentsof Mbere,Vina, and Mayo Rey. Dr. Burnhamhas worked in the area for over 20 years and has written two major books on the Fulbe and Gbaya populationswho live in the area. He is fluent in both languages. During two field trips to the region in 1998 Dr. Burnhamwas able to assessthe socioeconomicimpacts of the fixed facility sites and update his knowledgeon the area, having carried out research there on several previousoccasions from 1968 to 1993. L.3.2 MeidougouStorage Yard Dr. Philip Burnham visited Meidougou, a village of some 4,000-5,000 population, on two occasionsin 1998 for a total of five days. Duringhis visits he gatheredinformation directly from local chiefs and quarter heads,groups of elders,youth, and women in both formal and informal interviewsusing the two main local languages- Gbaya and Fulfulde. He was able to visit the public facilities of the village, includingrestaurants, auberges, shops, weekly market, schools, church,mosque, health center, and cassavamill. Meidougou is inhabited primarily by members of the Gbaya ethnic group, with other village population being drawn from the Fulbe, Mbum, Duru peoples as well as migrants from the Central African Republic. Farmingand cattle husbandryare the chief local occupations,with cassavaand maizethe principalcrops. As a crossroadstown where the principaleast-west and north-southroads meet, Meidougoureceives a regulartraffic of busesand markettrucks. The site of the proposed storage yard, located 2.5 km west of the village was found to be situated on unclaimed land in uncultivatedwooded savanna. Farmland in the area around Cam Eng CP 05-12.doc L-7 May 1999 COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 CHADEXPORT PROJECT Meidougouwas not consideredby the local people to be scarce, and a land market has not developed. The resultsof his work can be found in his report entitled "Evaluationof SocioeconomicImpacts at the DomptaPump Station,and Meidougouand NgaoundalStorage Yards"' (Burnham1998). L.3.3 NgaoundalStorage Yard Dr. Bumham visited Ngaoundal, a recently established (since the early 1970s) multi-ethnic railhead town of some 10,000 population, on two occasions in 1998 for a total of four days. During his visits he gatheredinformation directly from the sub-prefect,his assistant,the mayor, the canton chief, quarter heads, prominent local businessmen, mission personnel, health workers, groups of elders, youth, and women in both formal and informal interviews using the two main local languages- Gbaya and Fulfulde as well as French. He was able to visit the public facilities of the town, including sub-prefecture,restaurants, auberges, cinema, bank, railway station, military encampment, COTCO Project reading room, shops, daily market, schools,churches, mosques, and healthcenters. On the basis of Burnham's first visit, he was able to determine that the originally proposed storage yard site southeast of town was located in an unsuitable position, with marked drawbacksfrom the point of view of accessibility,road safety, and public acceptability. Through consultationwith local officialsand inhabitants,Burnham was able to identifya more acceptable site in uninhabitedsavanna land on the northeastmargin of town. The results of his work can be found in his report entitled "Evaluationof SocioeconomicImpacts at the DomptaPump Stationand Meidougouand NgaoundalStorage Yards"(Burnham 1998). L.3.4 DomptaPump Station Dr. Bumhamvisited Dompta,a small village of some 300 population,on two occasionsin 1998, spendingof 4 days there. Duringhis visits, Dr. Burnhamgathered information directly from local chiefs and quarter heads, groups of elders, youth, and women in both formal and informal interviewsusing the main local language- Gbaya. Dompta and its surroundingregion is very isolated and underdeveloped,with poor motor road access to larger centers. Population density is very low. Modem schools, health facilities, wells, and stores are lacking, and the local economy is predominantlyoriented to swidden agriculture,with cassava the main subsistencecrop. Small quantities of cotton are grown for sale, but the environmentis not well-suitedto this. On his first visit to the area in 1998,the final siting of the proposedCOTCO facility had not been determined. On his subsequentvisit, andwith the help of local villagers,he was able to locate a May1999 L-8 Cam EngCP 05-12.doc COMPENSATIONPLAN ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENT PLAN CHADEXPORT PROJECT CAMEROONPORTION - VOLUME3 promisingsite for the proposedpump stationin the uninhabitedsavanna some 2 to 3 km north of Domptavillage. The results of his work can be found in his report entitled "Evaluation of Socioeconomic Impacts at the DomptaPump Station,and Meidougouand NgaoundalStorage Yards" (Burnham 1998).
