The target group will be poor smallholders in the main country’s tree crop producing counties, with particular attention given to the participation of women and youth. This RPF was developed as part of the accompanying reports on Environmental and Social management Framework (ESMF) and on the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) conducted in Liberia in July-September 2011. The RPF is a requirement for projects that may entail involuntary resettlement as mentioned above. Such involuntary resettlement may imply issues of compensation, land acquisition, impact on people’s livelihoods, restriction of access and restriction of access to assets including economic and natural resources. Besides this requirement, the RPF presents an opportunity for project stakeholders on how to address compensations issues relating to affected properties, livelihoods, land matters and incomes generated through project implementation and has the potential to make PAPs better off than what their previous conditions were prior to the commencement of the project if mitigation measures are well developed, effectively implemented and consistently evaluated and monitored. The policy objectives of OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement relevant for this Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) comprise the following broad principles: (a) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs; (b) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons 3should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs; (c) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. The RPF addresses the issues of estimated population and categories of project affected people (PAP), the consultation and participation mechanisms, their eligibility criteria and methods for valuing their assets, the organizational procedures for the delivery of entitlements, implementation, funding, grievance redress mechanism and M&E arrangements. The RPF is prepared to take care of any potential social impacts related to land, restriction of access and livelihood impacts. AGRER S.A RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK iii LIBERIA SMALLHOLDER TREECROP REVITALIZATION SUPPORT PROJECT (STCRSP) 1. INTRODUCTION: PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND METHODOLOGY Introduction The Government of Liberia is exploring the feasibility of a World Bank supported agricultural development project – the Smallholder Tree Crop Revitalization Support Project (STCRSP), with the principal objective of improving the income opportunities of poor farmers by a combination of rehabilitating unproductive farms, undertaking replanting and new planting programs, facilitating future replanting and development programs, and improved financing mechanisms and institutional arrangements. The proposed STCRSP has been identified in response to this request. The proposed project activities include rehabilitation of existing farms owned by small holders in cooperatives through various support mechanisms, rehabilitation or development of nurseries, rehabilitation of feeder roads and reconstruction of small bridges and office refurbishment. These activities have potential social safeguards implications and could lead to impacts that would need to be mitigated. As a result, the proposed project has triggered the World Bank policy on involuntary resettlement, OP 4.12 which aims at reducing adverse social impacts associated with project development and implementation and outlining mitigations measures where avoidance of impacts would not be possible. The GOL has responded to this policy by preparing a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) to serve as guidance for the project since the actual sites for project intervention are not known at the early project preparation stage. The GOL through the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) is applying part of the fund secured to prepare this RPF. Project Description The following is a short description of the Project’s main features, for more details refer to Annex A-1. The main characteristics of the Liberian tree crop sector at present are the old age of plantations, as there have been no significant replanting activities for the last twenty five years, and their low productivity. The proposed project will be the first, preparatory stage of a long term pro-poor growth program focused on developing the tree crop sector. The target group will be poor smallholders in the main country’s tree crop producing counties, with particular attention given to the participation of women and youth. Objectives The proposed project’s development objective is “to increase incomes and productive assets of poor smallholder tree crop farmers by facilitating their access to finance, markets and inputs, and strengthening their organizations, and prepare a national development program for the various tree crops through testing various technical options and institutional and financial mechanisms.” To achieve such an objective, the project is structured around three components: (i) Smallholder Tree Crops (cocoa/coffee, oil palm & rubber) Revitalization; (ii) Institutional AGRER S.A RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK 1 LIBERIA SMALLHOLDER TREECROP REVITALIZATION SUPPORT PROJECT (STCRSP) Building and Preparation of Future Large Scale Tree Crop Development Program; and (iii) Project Coordination and Management. Components Component 1: Smallholder Tree Crop Revitalization Component one has three sub-components focusing on cocoa, coffee, oil palm and rubber revitalization. The activities to be implemented under the component include rehabilitation of existing small farms, new planting, and promotion of improved marketing and value chain system. Other activities include the strengthening of farmer-based organizations at all levels through provision of

  • Liberia CERF Report 2008
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANITARIAN / RESIDENT COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Liberia Humanitarian / Resident Mr Jordan Ryan Coordinator Reporting Period (on-going) October 2007 – March 2008 I. Executive Summary The people and Government of Liberia have made impressive progress in consolidating peace, strengthening national authority, and paving the way for more sustainable recovery and development. However, many Liberians remain vulnerable and confront acute humanitarian needs on a daily basis. In particular, people in underserved and isolated parts of the country, especially the Southeast, suffer from an extreme lack of access to basic health services, improved water and sanitation facilities, poor road conditions, and low food production. Significantly high rates of maternal and child mortality, frequent outbreaks of water-borne diseases, and increasing disparity in access to basic social services provides a strong reminder that critical humanitarian needs remain despite the country’s progress. Funding for humanitarian activities in Liberia has declined steadily since 2004, in line with the decreasing humanitarian imperative in the country. In January 2007, the humanitarian community launched a $ 117 million Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) to address remaining humanitarian needs. By mid-July 2007, the requirements were revised to $110 million for the remainder of 2007. At the time of the request for CERF funding, only 21.1 percent of the 2007 Liberia CHAP had been funded, and by the end of 2007, the CHAP was 62 percent funded. Overall, the total humanitarian funding to Liberia in 2007 was $ 97.5 million. The health and water/sanitation/hygiene (WASH) sectors received far less than their estimated requirements ($43.7 million in total), and were funded at 19 percent and 36 percent, respectively.
