EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Rural Energy Project (Component 1: Rural Electrification of Svay Rieng Province) (hereinafter referred to as "the Project") is an AusAID funded grant and will assist the efforts of Eléctricité du Cambodge (EDC) to electrify approximately 8,000 households by extending 220 km of 22 kV medium-voltage (MV) sub-transmission line and 400 km of low-voltage (LV) distribution network in Svay Rieng Province. The development of an electricity transmission network in rural areas will displace expensive and environmentally unsustainable off-grid diesel generation by rural electricity enterprises (REEs) providing them with more cost-effective electricity supplies. The project is classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement and Category C for indigenous peoples under ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). 2. Generally, a Corridor of Impact (COI) of the Project is within Right-of-Way (ROW) of the road which is classified as the state land. No physical relocation will be required, and potential impact will be limited to the installation of concrete poles using about 0.2m2 of land and the stringing of conductors requiring tree branches to be trimmed. Some trees may need to be removed in some villages and market areas. The type of productive trees identified that may require removal includes mango trees, palm trees, coconut trees and of lesser importance, tamarind trees, and so forth. The assistance in cases of removal is calculated on the basis of 5 years of production. 3. The 22 kV sub-transmission lines will be connected from grid-substations in provincial towns to the existing and new Low Voltage (LV) distribution and service lines owned and operated by private REEs. 4. EDC will own, operate and maintain the 22 kV sub-transmission lines installed under the project. The ownership and the responsibility for operating and managing the LV distribution network will remain with the respective REEs and EDC will supply electricity to REEs under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). 5. This Updated Resettlement Plan (URP) is prepared based on the Resettlement (Assistance) Plan which was prepared by EDC and disclosed on ADB website in August 2012, and the URP updated and approved in December 2014. 6. Due to the change of drawings and alignment, it is required that the 2014 resettlement plan has to be updated again. Its main contents include compensation policy, entitlement matrix, role & responsibility and grievance redress mechanism. During the URP preparation, a number of consultation meetings (public and house to house consultation) were also conducted to allow APs to understand about the project. 7. The resettlement policy in this URP allows compensation for affected economic tree or affected assets at replacement cost to ensure improvement, or at least maintaining their living standards and income to the level they would have without the project. 8. The compensation rates implemented are based on 2014 market price, to comply with ADB’s SPS 2009, this rates have to update based on 2017 market price. Therefore, Resettlement Expert of PIC has been mobilized to prepare this URP. Since the project already compensate to all affected households, using 2014 market rates, it is recommended that additional compensation (with 2017 rates) should be made or consultation with affected people shall carry out whether or not the affected households are still voluntary donate their trees or additional compensation is required. 9. It is agreed with EDC and SEPRO that the methodology for updating the market price for compensation rates from 2014 to 2017 is based on Cambodia consumer price index (CPI). From 2014 to 2017, the inflation rate was calculated at 12% increase1 and is used for calculation of compensation rates of affected economic trees at 2017 market price.

10. With the new rates, the resettlement expert together with EDC/SEPRO and the Contractor, on 22 – 23 December 2017 and 14-15 February 2018, conducted public consultation meeting with Local Authorities at four main communes and APs who had compensated during implementation. In addition, house to house consultation, from 5-9 February 2018, with every affected household had done by the EDC/SEPRO. The objective for these public consultations were to get their view on the differences of compensation using rates in 2014 and 2017 and if additional payment for the differences is required. 11. These consultation were carried out at Ang Tasou commune, Pouthi Reach commune, Thlok commune, and Kouk Pring commune of Svay Chrum district, Svay Rieng province where affected fruit/economic trees are cut and compensated. All affected households, were invited to joint these public consultation meeting even though they had provided thumb print during house to house consultation from 5-9 February 2018. In this significant occasion, project information was disclosed to the participants, such as 1) general civil works of the Rural Energy Project; 2) Phases of Application for connection (information in PIB); 2) the comparability of compensation rates 2014 and the new rates based on 2017 market price; and 3) Revised PIB were distributed to all participants. The rates of economic trees were updated with 12% based on the inflation rate from 2014 to 2017 (see in Table 3). 12. As the result of consultation meeting, all APs are informed about the new calculated rates and the different from previous compensation. Though the compensated rates in 2014 were slightly lower than actual market rates in 2017, people in the meeting express their willingness to participate in the project and together agreed that additional compensation for the affected trees is not required. The minutes of meeting, photos and attendant sheets are compiled in annex 5 of this URP. 13. In general, Executing Agency, EDC, of the project established a mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of affected peoples’ concerns, complaints, and grievance about the project social and environmental performance. The grievance redress mechanism was disclosed to the villagers or affected people during public consultation meeting, house to house consultation during compensation and the recent consultation on 22-23 December 2017 and 14-15 February 2018. The GRM process is detailed in section 5 of the main report. 14. According to March 2017, based on verification process using the collected data of the 620 likely affected households, the actual number of the trees subject to compensation has been reduced from 3,619 mixed of type of trees to 1,009 fruit trees only (reduced by 72%). And the number of likely affected household has been reduced from 620 AHs to only 246 AHs (reduced by 60%). This significant reduction of number of affected tree is based on the entitlement matrix of the approved RP. 15. The implemented/compensated resettlement costs are USD 48,687.5. This amount excludes the inflation of 12% from 2014 to 2017 since additional amount (in total about US$ 5,842.50) was not claimed by affected people due to recent consultations. However, the total estimation based on 12% inflation is of the resettlement plan is USD 54,530.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. Rural Energy Project (Component 1: Rural Electrification of Svay Rieng Province) (hereinafter referred to as "the project") is an AusAID funded grant and will assist the efforts of Eléctricité du Cambodge (EDC) to electrify approximately 8,000 households by extending 220 km of 22 kV medium-voltage (MV) sub-transmission line and 400 km of low-voltage (LV) distribution network in Svay Rieng Province. The development of an electricity transmission network in rural areas will displace expensive and environmentally unsustainable off-grid diesel generation by rural electricity enterprises (REEs) providing them with more cost-effective electricity supplies. The project is classified as Category B for involuntary resettlement and Category C for indigenous peoples under ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). Generally, a Corridor of Impact (COI) of the project is within Right-of-Way (ROW) which is the state land. No physical relocation will be required, and potential impact will be limited to the installation of concrete poles using about 0.2 m2 of land and the stringing of conductors requiring tree branches to be trimmed. Dependent upon tree density and final design, some trees may need to be removed in some villages and market areas. The type of productive trees identified that may require removal includes mango trees, palm trees, coconut trees and of lesser importance, tamarind trees. The assistance in cases of removal is calculated on the basis of 5 years of production. 2. The MV lines will pass along existing roads within the existing ROW of the rural roads and will be strung from concrete poles located approximately 60m to 80m interval between each pole (see Figure 1). Any transformer required will be pole-mounted which will avoid any land requirement. During the final design of the MV lines, they will be sited to avoid houses and livelihood assets to the maximum extent possible.

Figure 1: Overview of Medium Voltage and Low Voltage Lines 3. Construction will involve mainly manual activities and will be confined to small-scale works including transporting poles to the road side, erection of poles, stringing of line conductors and erection of poles mounted transformers where required. No excavation is required other than auguring a hole for the pole footing. Removal or trimming of some roadside trees may be required to ensure appropriate safety clearances for the power lines. The blue colour lines indicated MV lines.

II. PROJECT IMPACTS 2.1 Introduction 4. Affected persons will, in most cases, be direct project beneficiaries as a result of receiving rural electrification. Potential resettlement impacts are not significant as they are located within existing road corridors. Further, the poles will be located to avoid disturbance to land owners and the conductors will be fixed at 10 m height resulting in a very low impact on vegetation and structures. Limited scope of construction activities involving small teams of workers, minimal use of powered mechanical equipment and insignificant excavation will further ensure minimal impacts. 2.2 Methodology Used in Updating the Resettlement Plan 5. The following sections describe the processes and methods employed in the survey on adverse social impacts for the project. The impact survey involved the conduct of IOL wherein all potential affected trees located inside the COI were identified, counted. The owners of those properties were identified, and their replacement values were also calculated. Likewise, the severity of impact on the affected assets and to the livelihood and productive capacity of AHs were determined. The impact survey of AHs was conducted in 2016 during the project implementation. 2.2.1 Data Gathering Instrument 6. The survey questionnaire was use during in the IOL with the help from Contractor (see annex 3 for voluntary donation). The questionnaire also included information of the affected assets and income, and their perception on the project. 7. The data in the URP was based on resettlement plan approved in 2014. However, the updating/identifying of affected economic trees was carried out by the Contractor as per detail engineering design and realignment of the rout line during construction. 2.2.2 Basic Unit Cost of Affected Assets/Trees 8. The RCS of affected assets in the project area was carried out in 2014 by the research team which was led by a local resettlement specialist. The main objective of the RCS is to determine the rate of productive trees for costing the resettlement plan. In compliance with ADB safeguard policy 2009, it is therefore, the unit rates of affected assets/trees need to be updated at current market price 2017. 9. The resettlement expert together with EDC/SEPRO decided that the project only compensate to those economic tree of up to five years or more. Smaller tree will not consider to be compensated as it will not affect or only branch trimming. Furthermore, it is agreed that to update the replacement cost from 2014 to 2017, Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be served to factor the change in pricing. And this new rates will be used for compensation. The below table is indicating the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from 2012 to 2017.

2.3 Inventory of Affected Trees 11. During IOL, a total of 620 households will be affected with 3,619 productive trees. However, the actual number of the trees subject to compensation can be smaller than 3,619 because (i) the contractors will finalize the detailed alignments minimizing the negative impact to the extent possible, (ii) some of the counted trees might not contribute to the affected persons (APs)’ livelihood, and (iii) some of the counted trees do not need to be cut but just trimmed slightly. There is no any physical displacement2 and affected private land. 12. However as of March 2017, based on verification process using the collected data of the 620 likely affected households, the actual number of the trees subject to compensation has been reduced from 3,619 mixed of type of trees to 1,009 fruit trees only (reduced by 72%). And the number of likely affected household has been reduced from 620 AHs to only 246 AHs (reduced by 60%). This significant reduction of number of affected tree is based on the entitlement matrix of the approved RP. 13. Below is the table of affected tree and the cost in 2014 and 2017 (increase inflation rate of 12%) for comparison.

III. Socio-economic Information and Profile 14. Since the project carried out Social Impact Assessment (SIA) in February 2017, this information is now used in this section of socio-economic profile for the project in this URP. 15. From SIA, the total of 150 affected households are interviewed. Of which 100 households as treatment group (within the project area) and 50 households as control group (out of project area). Below is the information adapted from SIA. 3.1 Household Background 3.1.1 Civil Status 16. In 75% of the households is the couple married. The remaining 25% is in most cases widow (34 of 37) and some were divorced. The widows and divorcees were all female except one. None of the households belong to a minority group. 3.1.2 Age and disability 17. The average age of the family head is 53 years. The typical household has five members of which 53% is female. In 22% are household members aged below 17, while 12% is above 61 years of age. At six households was a member with a disability. Three of them were blind while others had a mute boy, mental sick boy and lame daughter. 3.1.3 Education 18. Most of the heads (68%) and their wives (75%) have primary school as highest formal education. Illiteracy is found considerably more with both wives and widowed or divorced female heads. There is a clear relation with the education level versus the average age. Younger generations had more (access to) education.

3.1.4 Living Conditions 19. The majority of the households (74%) live on paved roads in good condition. The remaining 26% have unpaved road in front of their homes. The condition of unpaved roads varies. Also due to some parts of the visited districts were flooding during the last wet season. It is remarkable that 82% of the unpaved roads were in treatment villages. 20. All households own the house they live in. The data regarding housing materials was influenced by the selection criteria. The reason for this is that focusing on housing

12 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) materials helps the team to quickly identify candidates for the interviews and is often a good indicator of the relative social class of the household. In 53% do households live in houses with wooden or concrete walls in combination with a titled roof. The remainder has houses of cheaper materials like zinc and thatched walls and or roofs.

3.1.5 Social Economical Information 21. Income: Based on the Social Impact Assessment indicates that the income in the yearly or monthly income is not easy to calculate as family members get income from several separate activities (see figure below) and often do not have a regular monthly income or any administration. Most of the households make their income from agriculture-related activities, of which the profit depends on inputs or activities bounded to self-sufficiency, labour costs, harvest seasons and weather conditions. Nearly all households are involved in rice cultivation (99%), however just 29% makes an income with rice farming followed by animal husbandry of pigs, cow or chicken as foremost agricultural activities. A significant number households receive from contributions from often migrated (within Cambodia or abroad) family members. The reported average annual income is nearly $ 1,600 or about $ 5 per day, but this is without those family contributions. The majority (89%) of the households have monthly income while others are dependent on seasonal or harvest related income alone. For 42% of the households is the income not sufficient to cover the expenses. Loans are taken at $ 2,000 on average and savings, $ 560 on average are reported at respectively 29% and 18% of the households.

22. Animal holdings: Compared to 2015 is a downwards trend noticeable for large animal categories as cows, buffaloes and pigs. In total were animal holdings decreased by 26%. In 2017 does a household own 3 large animals on average. The strongest decline (57%) is seen with buffaloes as small tractors (ko-yun) are quickly changing the local scenery. The small tractor is owned by 19% of the households. Many households have some chicken and ducks at their house, but none of them raise them in large numbers. 23. Energy for cooking: Traditional stoves with fuel wood are very common in the project area with 87% of the households using this as primary cooking fuel. Due to the wide availability of wood is this wood usually gathered for free. LPG is the secondary cooking fuel with some households (6%) using it as primary source, but mostly is LPG the secondary source for special occasions in 27% of the households. Biogas, dried dung (typical for the area) and charcoal are used at the remaining households. Besides family cooking at all households are water boiling (67%) and animal food preparation (25%) the other purposes for the cooking fuel. Only 29% of the households have costs related to cooking. These costs are almost exclusive to LPG and are on average $ 53 per year or about one dollar per week. 24. Energy for electricity: A major finding in the baseline survey was the mix of electricity sources found in the project area. Solar energy is by far the most used primary source of electricity in the project area with 89% of the interviewed households while the traditionally used (car) batteries were used at only 8% of the households. This energy mix in the project area near the Vietnamese border is quite unique compared to many off

13 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) grid areas where car batteries and to lesser extend local grids often outpace solar energy due to barriers as upfront investment costs and trust issues. SEAC5 and industry insiders, contacted by the consultant, mentioned that solar energy adoption rates of this considerable scale is unique in Cambodia. Contacted village chiefs however confirm the data and point to the money that migrated family members to Thailand and Korea bring in to support their families.

Table 5: Development in % of households with solar energy

25. The average reported solar home system has 110wp capacity. At least that is the system size the household assumes to have as in the past cases are known in rural areas with untrustworthy vendors who cheat with the system size specifications. It is however not checked whether this was the case at any of the households in the survey. In 88% are the systems between 51-150-watt peak and often did this include an energy efficient LCD/LED TV.

26. Electrical appliances: A remarkable number of 62% of the households have a modern energy efficient LCD/LED television in their homes while another 8% consider buying a LCD/LED television. This significant adoption rate can be explained due to the solar home systems kits that often comes with LCD/LED television that 97% of those households have. Households have the plan or desire to buy kitchen related appliances as a refrigerator, rice cooker and also electric stoves. Water cookers are not mentioned despite 67% of the households reported frequent water boiling. Water pumps for better irrigation of rice fields is another planned purchase that could potentially double or triple the rice harvest. The follow-up survey will give insight if the planned purchases also were materialized.

27. The households estimated the average time per day that they use their electronic appliances (see table below). This data will be compared with their replies in the future follow-up survey. Table 6: Hours of household usage of electricity

IV. Information Disclosure, Consultation, and Participation 4.1 Consultation 28. Public Consultations were arranged by EDC during the study of RP, in four different places among the seventeen (17) communes which were affected areas. The aim of the public consultation is to disclose the project to the community and discuss resettlement issues due to the project activities. During that time, awareness of Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) was disseminated to all APs as well. 29. The first meeting of public consultation was conducted on November 24th, 2014 (at 9:30 am) for the two communes: 1) Chan Trea, and 2) Thmey in Chantrea Commune, Chan Trea district. During implementation, the consultation has been carried out from house to house with the help from the Contractor during settlement negotiation of the affected economic trees. Annex 6 is the pictures of house to house consultation implemented by the Contractor. Below is the summary of consultation for the project. 30. However, the following meeting was prepared on December 23, 2017 at 8:30 AM in Ang Tasou Commune Centre at Ang Tasou commune, the two villages, namely: Cheng Meng and Roka villages were invited to join this meeting. The participants came from 2 villages, with a total of 40 persons, 21 are women. The minutes of meeting and attendance lists is shown in Annex 5.

4.2 Disclosure 32. The public consultation meetings conducted in the project areas since the feasibility study in 2014 because of at that time the national individual consultant did not mobilize yet. However, during implementation in 2016 – 2017, house to house consultation was carried out by the Contractor. In addition, during this updated RP consultations had conducted on 23 December 2017 and 14-15 February 2018 to disclosed the project situation, presented information on the project design, expected timing, scope of impacts, eligibility, entitlements, and the grievance redress mechanism. An information booklet in Khmer language (please see in Annex 4 for the final the project information booklet in Khmer).

V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS 33. The project (Grant:0336) has established a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) and this project will also provide a well-defined grievance redress and resolution mechanism to resolve grievances and complaints in a timely and satisfactory manner. All affected persons will be made fully aware of their rights, and if households change their minds (donation of affected trees), it will be a priority task for the implementation team (especially for contractor) to resolve complaints as quickly as possible and at the local level through a process of conciliation; and, if that is not possible, to provide clear and transparent procedures for appeal. The community will be provided the details of the implementation grievance redress procedure as an added safety valve. 34. A grievance redress committee (GRC) will be established at provincial level with a process starting from Commune Offices. As practiced, the GRC include the relevant local commune or village chiefs and where needed, a local NGO may assist the affected persons in filing complaints, particularly for those who are illiterate, do not know how to prepare written complaints, and ethnic minority who have language difficulties. The designated commune officials shall exercise all efforts to settle complaints and issues at the commune level through appropriate community consultation. All meetings shall be recorded in each grievance process and copies shall be provided to the affected persons. A copy of the minutes of meetings and actions undertaken shall be provided to EDC and ADB upon request. 35. The grievance redress procedures set out as below: 36. Stage 1: Affected person/household (AP) will submit a letter of complaint/request to the village or commune office (a copy may be submitted to the provincial resettlement sub- committee (PRSC). The Commune Office will be obliged to provide immediate written confirmation of receiving the complaint. If, after 15 days, the aggrieved AP does not hear from the village or commune, or if the AP is not satisfied with the decision taken by in the commune office, the complaint may be brought to the district office. 37. Stage 2: The district office has 15 days within which to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of all concerned. If the complaints cannot be resolved in this stage, the district office will bring the case to the Provincial Grievance Redress Committee. 38. Stage 3: The Provincial Grievance Redress Committee meets with the aggrieved party and tries to resolve the complaint. The Committee may ask for a review of the detail measurement survey (DMS). Within 30 days of the submission of the grievance, the Committee must make a written decision and submit a copy of the same the AP. 39. Stage 4: Court Procedures. If the aggrieved AP does not hear from the Provincial Grievance Redress Committee or is not satisfied with the proposed solution, the AP can bring the case to the Provincial Court. The Court will make a written decision and send copies to the AP and to provincial GRC. If any party is still unsatisfied with the Provincial Court’s judgment, the party can refer the case to a higher level court. 40. In cases where APs do not have the writing skills or are unable to express their grievances verbally, it is a common practice that APs are allowed to seek assistance from any recognized local NGO or other family members, village heads or community chiefs to have their complaints or grievances written for them. Aps will be allowed to have access to the DMS or contract document to ensure that all the details have been recorded accurately enabling all parties to be treated fairly. Throughout the grievance redress process, the responsible committee will ensure that the concerned APs are provided with copies of complaints and decisions or resolutions reached. 41. If efforts to resolve disputes using the grievance procedures remain unresolved or unsatisfactory, APs have the right to directly discuss their concerns or problems with the ADB’s Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Division, Southeast Asia Department through the ADB Cambodia Resident Mission (CARM). If APs are still not

17 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) satisfied with the responses of CARM, they can directly contact the ADB Office of the Special Project Facilitator. The Office of the Special Project Facilitator procedure can proceed based on the accountability mechanism in parallel with the project implementation.

VI. LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK 42. Cambodia has experienced severe social, economic, and political turmoil during the last quarter century. Before the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, private land ownership was widespread and governed by the Cambodia Civil Code of 1920. Under the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 however, private property was abolished and all records were destroyed. After the said regime, the new government introduced usufruct rights to facilitate orderly occupation by people returning to urban areas, of vacant land and structures. However, all lands in Cambodia remained under the property of the state until private ownership on residential land of maximum 2,000m2 was restored in 1989. The current legislations governing land ownership is the Land Laws of October 1992 and of August 2001, which recognize claims to land made after the downfall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979. There is no specific government policy relating to the details of resettlement and compensation in Cambodia, other than general requirements for compensation to be provided. Therefore, compromise between relevant Cambodian laws and development partner policies is necessary in terms of dealing with resettlement issues caused by development projects. 6.1 Cambodia Legal and Policy Framework 6.1.1 Relevant Laws (a) 1993 Constitution 43. The 1993 Constitution of Cambodia has established one governing principle in Article 44 pertaining to land acquisition.  Article 44 states that “All persons, individually or collectively, shall have the right to ownership. Only Khmer legal entities and citizens of Khmer nationality shall have the right to own land. Legal private ownership shall be protected by law. The right to confiscate properties from any persons shall be exercised only in the public interest as provided for under the law and shall require fair and just compensation in advance.” (b) Land Law 44. The rights to land and property in Cambodia are governed by the 2001 Land Law, which are primarily based on the provisions of the 1993 Constitution. The law defines the scope of ownership of immovable properties, such as land, trees and fixed structures. 45. The Land Law, Article 5, states that “No person may be deprived of his ownership, unless it is in the public interest. Any ownership deprivation shall be carried out in accordance with the governing procedures provided by law and regulations, and after the payment of fair and just compensation in advance.” 46. Other provisions of the Land Law that are relevant to land acquisition, compensation and resettlement include:  Only legal possession as provided by law can be transformed to land ownership. (Article 6)  Any regime of ownership of immovable property prior to 1979 shall not be recognized. (Article 7)  Article 15 states that “the following properties are included as public properties of state and public legal entities: a) any property that has a natural origin, such as forests, courses and banks of navigable and floatable rivers or natural lakes and seashores; b) that is made available for public use such as quays of harbors, port, railways, railways station and airports; or, c) any property which is made available, either in its natural state or after

18 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) development, for public use such as roads, tracks, oxcart ways, pathways, gardens or public parks and reserved lands.”  Article 18 states that "the following are null and void and cannot be made legal in any form whatever: a) any entering into possession of public properties of State and public legal entities and any transformation of possession of private properties of State into ownership rights that was not pursuant to the legal formalities and procedures that have been stipulated prior to that time, irrespective of the date of creation of possession or transformation; e) any entering into possession of private properties of State, through any means, that occurs after this law comes into effect".  Article 19 states that “any persons whose land title or factual circumstance fall within the scope of article 18 of this law shall not have the right to claim compensation or reimbursement of expenses paid for the maintenance or management of immovable property that was illegally occupied. Any illegal and intentional of fraudulent acquisition of public properties of state or of public legal entities shall be penalized pursuant to article 259 of this law. The penalties shall be doubled where any occupation of public properties because damages or delay to works undertaken in the general interest, especially the occupation of roadway reversed land".  Ownership of immovable properties described in Article 25 is granted by the state to indigenous minorities3 as collective ownership. This collective ownership includes all of the rights and protections as enjoyed by private owners. The exercise of collective ownership rights shall be subject to the responsibility of the traditional authorities and decision-making mechanisms of the indigenous community, according to their customs and subject to the laws of general enforcement related to immovable property such as the law on environmental protection. (Article 26)  Persons with legally valid possession of land for five years (at the time the law came into effect) are allowed to be registered as the owner of the land (Article 30). Persons who (at the time the law came into effect) held legal possession but had not yet completed the five years were allowed to remain in possession until they were eligible to be registered as the owner. (Article 31)  Any beginning of occupation for possession shall cease when this law comes into effect (article 29). After this law comes into force, any new occupant with title to an immovable property belonging to the public bodies or private persons shall be considered as illegal occupant and shall be subject to the penalties provided in Article 259 of this Law (Articles 34).  Article 38 states that "in order to transform into ownership of immovable property, the possession shall be unambiguous, non-violent, and notorious to the public, continuous and in good faith".  Landless people may apply for land for residential and subsistence farming purposes at no cost, as part of a social land concessions scheme. The concessionaire may obtain ownership of this land after fulfilling conditions set out in a separate Sub-Decree on Social Land Concessions. (Articles 50, 51). (c) Expropriation Law Dec. February 2010 - procedures for acquiring private properties for national or public interest  Article 2: the law has the following purposes: (i) ensure reasonable and just deprivation of a legal right to ownership of private property; (ii) ensure payment of reasonable and just prior compensation; (iii) serve the public and national interests; and (iv) development of public physical infrastructure.

3 As per Article 23 of the Land Law, “An indigenous community is a group of people that resides in Cambodia whose members manifest ethnic, social, cultural and economic unity and who practice a traditional lifestyle, and who cultivate the lands in their possession according to the customary rules of collective use.”

19 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province)  Article 7: Only the state may carry out an expropriation for use in the public and national interests.  Article 8: The state shall accept the purchase of the remaining part of the real property left over from an expropriation at a reasonable and just price at the request of the owner of land/or the holder of rights in the expropriated real property, if he is no longer able to live near the expropriated scheme or build a residence or conduct any business.  Article 16 states that “Prior to make any expropriation project proposal, the Expropriation Committee shall conduct a public survey by recording of a detailed description of all entitlements of the owners and/or of the holder of real right to immovable property and other properties subject to compensation as well as recording of all relevant issues.” 47. In conducting the survey, the Expropriation Committee shall organize public consultations at the Capital, Municipal-Provincial, and District-Khan authority levels with Commune/Sangkat councils and Village or community representative to be affected by the expropriation to provide specific and concise information and collect inputs from all stakeholders regarding the proposed basic public infrastructure project. 48. In order to set a dateline for the expropriation or relocation or compensation, the Expropriation Committee shall conduct a dateline interview with all concerned parties about the issues of immovable property to be affected by the public physical infrastructure project. 49. Within 30 (thirty) working days after the completion of the survey, the Expropriation Committee shall produce a report with recommendations and submits it to the Royal Government for approval.” 50. Article 22: Stipulates the amount of compensation to be paid to the owner of and/or holder of rights in the real property, which is based on the market value of the real property or the replacement cost as of the date of the issuance of the Prakas on the expropriation scheme. The market value or the replacement cost shall be determined by an independent commission or agent appointed by the expropriation committee. 6.1.2 Other Relevant Regulations 51. The private ownership of land was re-established in 1989, and confirmed in the 2001 Land Law (Article 4). Cambodians are able to register the land they occupy with the local Cadastral Administration Office, whereupon a certificate of land title is granted. Issuing land titles is a lengthy process and most offices have a major backlog of applications. People are given a receipt and until the official title deed is issued, this receipt is accepted as a proof of real occupant of the land for land purpose or sale. 52. The present legal status of land use in Cambodia can be classified as follows: (i) Privately owned land with title: The owner has official title to land, and both owner and the Cadastral Administration Office have a copy of the deed. (ii) Privately owned land without title: The owner has made an application for title to land, and is waiting for the issuance of a title deed. The Cadastral Administration Office recognizes the owner. (iii) Land use rights certified by the Government: In this case, a receipt for long-term land use has been issued. This land use right is recognized by the Cadastral Administration Office. (iv) Lease land: The Government or private owners lease the land, usually for a short period. There is provision for the owner to reclaim land if it is needed for development. (v) Non-legal occupation: The user has no land use rights to State land that he occupies or uses. The Cadastral Administration Office does not recognize the use of this land. 53. Sub-Decree on Social Land Concession, March 2003 - provides for allocations of free private state land to landless people of residential or family farming, including the replacement of land lost in the context of involuntary resettlement. 54. Prakas No.6, entitled “Measures to Crack Down on Anarchic Land Grabbing and Encroachments”, sets ROW for road and railway. In support of this Prakas, Ministry of

20 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) Economy and Finance (MEF) on 6 April 2000 issued Decree No.961 prohibiting compensation for structures and other assets located in the ROWs. Some Road dimensions are modified by the Sub-Decree No.197 adopted on 23 November 2009 on to Management of ROW along the national road and railway in Cambodia.

MEF Circular No.006 on the Resettlement Implementation Procedure for development projects dated on April 2nd, 2014. This new circular instructed clearly the administrative management and role and responsibility of all relevant Implementing Agency and Provinces in implementing the resettlement for development project. 6.2 Policy Gap Analysis 55. Law and regulation framework on resettlement and land issues are still in the stage of development in Cambodia, and some implementation documents and institutions are not yet prepared completely, however, RGC understands such situation and the SPS, and considers supplemental measures and assistance in URP on a case by case. 56. Thus, in terms of practical operation, there is not so much crucial gap between Cambodian country system and the SPS’s concept and requirements (see Table 2-2). Some other discussing points which are not mentioned clearly or concretely in Cambodian country system are also considered based on the SPS, this URP, and other relevant documents to fulfil gaps.

VII. PROJECT RESETTLEMENT POLICY 7.1 Objectives 57. The project’s resettlement and assistance policies are to be in accordance with Cambodian law as well as the SPS. 58. The URP aims to ensure that the losses incurred by APs are redressed such that APs share project benefits and are not worse off than they would have been without the project.

22 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) 7.2 Key Principles 59. A key area of difference in relation to the comparison between Cambodian Law and the requirements of the SPS is that MEF Decision no. 961 requires that RGC will not spend national budget to make payments for structures or other items located on the RGC claimed rights of way, i.e. ROW for roads and railroads. The requirements of Cambodian Law and ADB policy are in contrast on this point as ADB’s policy requires that anybody who experiences a loss of an asset or income source as a result of an ADB funded project will receive full and fair assistance for that loss, regardless of title. 60. In seeking ADB funding, RGC and EDC agree to comply with the core safeguard principles of ADB, as summarized below: (i) Negotiated settlements based on meaningful consultation with APs, including those without legal title to assets offering a fair price for land and/or other assets will be the key approach adopted by the project. EDC will ensure that any negotiations with displaced persons openly address the risks of asymmetry of information and bargaining power of the parties. (ii) When involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, the responsibility rests with the borrower country to follow the Bank’s policies. Where there is conflict with the Borrower’s policies and laws, the ADB policies shall be applied, as per the URP. The URP is viewed as a legal commitment in this regard. (iii) In principle, poll installation and conductor stringing will be done within the existing ROW and not require acquisition of private land, but it may request the donation of crops, trees and other structures. (iv) Non-titled APs, including displaced tenants, sharecroppers and squatters, are entitled to various options of resettlement assistance, provided they cultivated/occupied the land prior to the eligibility cut-off date. Resettlement assistance to non-titled APs may also include replacement land, although there is no entitlement to this. The resettlement package may include measures to ensure that such APs are able to find alternative sites or income sources, depending on their losses. (v) For non-land assets, all eligible APs, whether titled, legalizable or non- titled, must be provided assistance at replacement cost, through cash or replacement assets.

7.3 Entitlements 61. Anticipated impacts are minimal and restricted primarily to the removal of trees which may be used for livelihood purposes and possibly impacts on informal crops. It is not expected that businesses will be affected nor that acquisition of private land will be required, however to ensure completeness of the URP, these eventualities are addressed and provision established for assistance. 62. Economic trees that yield fruits every year or season are eligible for assistance if APs can demonstrate that the trees contribute to their livelihood. If reliance cannot be demonstrated, or if the community leadership cannot confirm the use of the tree by a particular AP, then assistance will not be paid. Commercial trees that have only one-time value, basically trees for timber and naturally grown, will not be compensated because AH can sell it at present market value when tree is cut. 63. The entitlements adopted were guided by the applicable national laws and regulations and the SPS. Negotiated settlements based on meaningful consultation with APs, including those without legal title to assets offering a fair price for land and/or other assets will be the key approach adopted by the project. EDC will ensure that any negotiations with displaced persons openly address the risks of asymmetry of information and bargaining power of the parties. Full and fair information has to be provided to the APs (including disclosure of what would be a fair replacement cost), and all negotiations need to be overseen by the Project Implementation Consultant (PIC).

As of March 2017, 246 households with 1009 productive trees are affected by the project and the actual compensation amount was USD 48,687.5. However, based on the updated rates at 2017 market price, the total budget of updated resettlement plan is USD 54,530.00 (based on inflation rate increasing of 12% in 2017). According to public consultation at field on 22-23 December 2017 and 14-15 February 2018 and house to house consultation from 5-9 February 2018, all affected households opted for no additional compensation. 65. Below is the cost estimation comparison of resettlement budget.

It is noted that the resettlement implementation budget was only USD 48,687.50 since additional budget for affected trees (5,842.50) were not claimed as per recent consultation with affected people.

IX. ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK 66. The owner of the project is the Executing Agency (EA) which is EDC; therefore, it has overall responsibility for the successful implementation of the URP. This chapter presents a brief summary to illustrate the role and responsibility of various institutions and organizations dedicated to resettlement implementation.

26 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) 9.1 EDC/ Social, Environment and Public Relations Office (SEPRO) 67. EDC through its SEPRO is responsible for resettlement operations and management of the project. To achieve this, EDC will:  Implement this URP as approved; the Contractor cooperates with EDC/SEPRO for house to house consultation and compensation to affected households.  Act as internal monitor to supervise the activities regarding social impacts of the project including: (i) Documentation of impacts and benefits including recording and photographs of assets to avoid potential later grievances. (ii) Informing the communities APs of their rights under the URP (iii) Collect information from the APs to determine level of AP satisfaction (iv) Ensure all assistance is provided to AHs before any physical impact is created.

9.2 Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) 68. One national social safeguard specialist (PIC) engages to support EDC with the preparation and implementation of social safeguard measures. The PIC helps build capacity in EDC in relation to resettlement and compensation (assistance); ensure effective and timely implementation of resettlement activities. The PIC will work with EDC, the Contractor and local authorities to ensure the URP is implemented so that the requirements of the SPS are satisfied. 69. The PIC will identify, and propose solutions to, safeguards related project risks and assist with regular reporting to ADB. Where negotiated settlements are achieved with APs, the PIC will prepare a report of the negotiation and settlement processes which documents that: (i) full and fair information was provided to the APs (including disclosure of what would be a fair replacement cost); (ii) the Project is not severely affected to the living standards of APs; (iii) the project is linked directly to benefits for the AH; (iv) any negotiated settlement will be confirmed through written record; (v) there is an adequate grievance process; and (vi) no AH will be displaced from housing. A template, which collect and report on information to demonstrate that negotiations with displaced persons openly address the risks of asymmetry of information and bargaining power of the parties to ensure both parties are adequately protected, has been prepared (see Appendix 1: Template of Negotiated Settlement Agreement). 9.3 Construction Contractor 70. The key role of the construction contractor under this URP is to ensure the design and alignments of the MV/LV lines have the least possible impact on livelihoods and assets including resettlement assistance (in contract agreement). The contractor will be required to work with the PIC to ensure the optimal design and construction methodologies to minimize impacts are adopted. The contractor will also liaise with the PIC to ensure APs are well informed and compensated prior to any impacts.

27 ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Rural Energy Project No.0336 (Component 1: Rural electrification of Svay Rieng province) X. IMPLEMENTAION PROCESS AND SCHEDULE 71. EDC will be responsible for the implementation of the URP and social issues with support from PIC. In addition, EDC will be responsible for ensuring that the funds for the assistance are available in a timely manner. The URP will be implemented before civil works in any given geographic area. 72. The following activities will be undertaken during project implementation to ensure compliance with this URP and the SPS: (i) During spotting of the pole footprints, contractor, village/commune/district leaders, EDC, and PIC will confirm potential losses and negotiate acquisition from APs based on meaningful consultations; (ii) EDC will implement the URP prior to any civil work; (iii) Assistance for those who may experience livelihood loss or loss of private land/assets will be delivered by EDC before the impact is created; (iv) EDC will retain evidence that such assistance was provided and the APs agreed; (v) The PIC will conduct spot checks on this process including verification of negotiated settlements.

XI. MONITORING 73. The central role of monitoring activities will be to ensure that all compensation payments/arrangements including any negotiated settlements are based on meaningful consultation with affected persons, including those without legal title to assets. A negotiated settlement will offer adequate and fair price for trees and/or other assets. 74. The PIC will document the negotiation and settlement processes. Once the resettlement activities start, quarterly (every three months) monitoring reports will be prepared by EDC assisted by PIC, and submitted to ADB. Based on ADB’s Public Communication Policy (PCP 2011), these will be uploaded to the ADB website as received.

Expansion Sector Project, Package 1

ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE

ADB Grant No.0336

PUBLIC INFORMATION BOOKLET

1. QUESTION: What is the rural electrification project?

ANSWER: The project is a rural energy project sub-transmission expansion sector project of Medium Voltage and Low Voltage, Which will expand the electricity sub-transmission infrastructure by constructing about 8,000 household in 5 districts and 1 city at Svay Rieng province.

Distribution route maps of AP’s province revised after site survey by PIC/EDC are

Attached hereinafter.

2. QUESTION: Will the sub-transmission line affect us?

ANSWER: The design and construction of the sub-transmission line will attempt to avoid or at least minimize the negative impacts on the communities. Generally, the sub-transmission line will be constructed within the right-of-way of existing roads which is the state land. The potential impact will be limited to the installation of concrete poles using about 0.2 m² of land and the stringing of conductors requiring tree branches to be trimmed. Some trees may need to be removed in some villages and market areas.

The actual alignment will be determined during detailed design through consultation with you and the rest of the local communities. After the detailed design, the area that will be affected by the Project will be marked on the ground and trees will be marked so you, as project affected persons (APs), will know that your asset will be affected.

3. QUESTION: Does compensation apply to my affected trees?

ANSWER: Yes. The affected trees will be compensated. The contractors of the project will discuss the compensation rate with you. In addition to the compensation, you can take the cutting tree to use for other purposes.

4. QUESTION: Does that mean any affected trees can claim for compensation? Page 2 (Appendix 2)

ELECTRICITÉ DU CAMBODGE Medium-Voltage Sub-Transmission

Expansion Sector Project, Package 1 ANSWER: No. Only if APs can demonstrate that the trees contribute to their livelihood, the economic trees that yield fruits every year or season are eligible for assistance. If reliance cannot be demonstrated, or if the community leadership cannot confirm the use of the tree by a particular person, then assistance will not be paid. Commercial trees that have only one-time value, basically trees for timber and naturally grown, will not be compensated because people can sell it at present market value when tree is cut.

5. QUESTION: Do we need to clear the affected trees immediately once it was identified as affected?

ANSWER: No. The affected trees will be removed by the contractors of the project.

Clearing the affected trees will only take place after APs have received compensation for the lost trees. After the APs have acknowledged receipt of payment, the Project shall provide a reasonable time for them to clear the affected trees in order for construction activities to commence.

6. QUESTION: Do we need to pay any administrative or service fees to the project once we receive our compensation?

ANSWER: No. APs are do not need to pay any service fees. APs who are asked for service fees or donations by any government or Project staff in the area must report directly to the Provincial authority or EDC.

7. QUESTION: If there will be disagreements or problems that arise during project

Implementation such as compensation, technical and general project-related disputes, do I have the right to voice out my complaint?

ANSWER: If APs disagree with assistance options, they may present their questions or complaints to the local administrative officials and grievance committees either in person or in writing. A grievance redress mechanism has been established for the project as follows. Nothing in the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) stops complainants from resolving the issue through the Cambodian legal system if Page 3 (Appendix 2)
