EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Introduction: The Basic Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Quang Tri Provinces Sector Project (Project) funded by the ADB is implemented in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Quang Tri. This report concerns the output one representative subproject in Quang Binh province “Construction of tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province”. The road is divided into three separated route sections, passing communes of Dong Hoi city, Quang Ninh district and Le Thuy district. The total length of the three route sections is 17.145km. These route sections include: (i) The route section No.1: Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh section has a total length of 10.829km, connecting from the tourism center of Dong Hoi city, Bao Ninh commune to the center of Hai Ninh commune, Quang Ninh district; (ii) the route section No.2: An – Son section, Le Thuy district has a total length of 3.225km, connecting from the center of Kien Giang town, passing An Thuy and Son Thuy communes to the East branch of Ho Chi Minh road; (iii) the route section No.3 connects from BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac sea, Le Thuy district with a total length of 3.061km and technical infrastructures of Tan Hai beach and Ngu Thuy Bac sea service area. 2. The tourism road connects Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province has an important significance in connecting the tourism destinations and movement of goods and contributes to socio-economic development in localities. The investment in constructing the road will contribute to connecting famous tourist destinations of locality, facilitating convenient transportation for tourists to visit the spiritual places, resorts and historic sites in Dong Hoi city and Quang Binh province, contributing to an important process of economic restructuring of the province in the trend of travel - services. In addition, the investment in construction of the road will facilitate people in exchange of goods with nearby areas, facilitate people in changing from doing agriculture and fishery to doing trade and service, reducing risk caused by natural disasters and drought. Moreover, it has been gradually improved and stabilized the lives of people. 3. The original RP of subproject (for 03 sections) which was prepared and approved during the project preparation will be split and updated by 2 packages in line with construction stages of each package. Two (02) packages include: package QB01.1 for the route section No.1: Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh section and package QB01.2 for 2 sections: the route section No.2 and the route section No.3 1. Therefore, this updated RP is prepared for 02 sections (An Son section and BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac sea section). The RP for section No.1: Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh section will be updated after completing the DMS and RCS. 4. Scope of impacts: 02 sections affect a total of 32 HHs (25 HHs (119 people) and 7 organizations). There is no household adversely affected by construction of the subproject who loses more than 10% of their productive land and no household who has house affected and relocated. 07 affected organizations include: An Thuy CPC, Son Thuy CPC, Tan Le village and Ngo Xa village, Ngu Thuy Bac CPC, Quang Binh Center for Applied Science and Technology Statistics and Nam Quang Binh protection forest management unit. There is 01 affected HH is disabled household heads. 5. Total land area anticipated to be acquired is 94,552.5 m2. In which, there are 4,214.1 m2 of paddy land of 16 HHs/organization (1,226m2 of 14 HHs and 2,988.1 m2 managed by An Thuy and Son Thuy CPC); 9.4 m 2 of annual crop land (2HHs); 225.3 m2 of aquaculture land of 02 organizations (Quang Binh Center for Applied Science and Technology Statistics and Son Thuy CPC), 10,382.0m2 of productive forest land managed by Ngu Thuy Bac; 14,732.9m2 of protection forest land of Ngu

Thuy Bac CPC and Nam Quang Binh protection forest management unit, 13,780 m2 of unused land (public land) managed by Ngu Thuy Bac CPC and 51,208.8m2 of riverside land, land for roads, embankments, dykes managed by An Thuy, Son Thuy, Ngu Thuy Bac CPC. The subproject affects to structures of 12 households/organization (11HHs and Tan Le Village) in An Thuy commune at route section of An – Son. The subproject affects crops of 17 HHs (5,440.1m2 of paddy and 5m of vegetable). There are 218 affected trees of various kinds of 14 HHs/ oganizations including 10 HHs and 03 organizations) in 4 communes along the routes. 6. Legal and policy framework: The Resettlement Plan of the subproject has been prepared based on policies and laws of Vietnam Government, regulations of Quang Binh province and ADB’s safeguard policy statement (SPS 2009) on Involuntary Resettlement (IR). The overall objective of these-above mentioned policies is to ensure that all people affected by the subproject shall (i) improve or at least restore their living standards to at least pre-Project levels; (ii) receive appropriate culturally socio-economic benefits; (iii) not be negatively affected by the subproject; and (iv) actively participate in projects that have impacts on them. 7. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) : To ensure that all APs’ grievances and complaints on aspects of land acquisition, compensation and resettlement are addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner and APs can send their complaints in the most satisfactory and convenient way, a well-defined grievance redress mechanism is established in this uRP. All APs can send any questions to implementation agencies about their rights in relation with entitlement of compensation, compensation policy, rates, land acquisition, resettlement, allowance and income restoration. Furthermore, APs will not be ordered to pay any fee during the grievance and complaints at any level of trial and court. Complaints will pass through 3 stages before they could be elevated to a court of law as a last solution. 8. Information disclosure, Community consultation and participation : Community consultation, information disclosure, discussion meetings at village level with APs and local officials have been carried out during the uRP preparation. Full consultations with affected people have also been carried out during subproject preparation and uRP preparation. Project policies, options for compensation, resettlement, and income restoration were discussed during the meetings. Concerns and proposals raised by the affected persons were elicited and incorporated into the uRP. The grievance mechanism is designed and disclosed to people to ensure that APs’ concerns and grievances are addressed and resolved in a timely, culturally appropriate and satisfactory manner. APs will be made fully aware of their rights verbally and in writing during consultation, survey, and at the time of compensation. 9. Issues on Gender and EMs: People living in the five subproject communes are all Kinh people and there is no ethnic minority group living in these communes. In addition, there are still remaining issues relating to gender in the subproject area such as position of women in their family and community and their limited participation in decision making process. Moreover, education level of women is lower than men. A gender action plan is prepared for this subproject to address concerns of women in order to improve their social status in the subproject area. There is no EM in the subproject area. 10. Institutional Arrangements: Quang Binh Provincial People’s Committee as the Executing Agency will allocate a provincial budget and direct its departments and district authorities to implement land acquisition as scheduled. Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) as the project owner is responsible for overall management and coordination of project implementation. Provincial Project Management Unit (PMU) have been established under DPI as Implementing Agency to manage and implement the subproject and will ensure that compensation and assistance are administered according to the provisions of this uRP. A Compensation, Assistance and 8

Resettlement Board (CARB) with representatives from affected persons (AP), will be established to implement the uRP. 11. Implementation schedule: This uRP will be implemented before commencement of civil works. It is expected that land acquisition will be carried out in Q3/2020. 12. Monitoring and evaluation: The subproject is category B in Involuntary Resettlement (IR) therefore, it is not required external monitoring experts. During resettlement implementation, Quang Binh PMU will conduct internal monitoring and evaluation to ensure the implementation of the RP in compliance with ADB safeguard policy (SPS 2009) and prepare semi-annual internal monitoring report to submit to ADB for review. 13. Total resettlement cost : The total cost for implementation of the uRP, including management and contingency cost, is estimated to be VND 1,086,679,432 equivalent to USD 46,738.90 . The financing will be from Quang Binh province’s budget counterpart funds.

I. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Background 14. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is planning to fund the Basic Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Quang Tri Provinces Sector Project. Objective of the project is to use ODA loan to invest in poor provinces and sub regional economic zones to be a mean to connect and coordinate among provinces to promote economic development. The project is expected to improve the economic competitiveness of the North Central provinces in accordance with socio-economic development plan of the provinces. The Project will: (i) improve infrastructure for value chains; (ii) improve infrastructures for business development; and (iii) professionally manage the provincial infrastructure. It is consistent with ADB’s Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) 2012– 2015. 15. Quang Binh is one of the four North Central provinces under the the Basic Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth Sector Project in four North Central provinces with the representative subproject, namely: “Construction of tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province”. The route section is proposed to be upgraded to grade III-plain road in accordance with Standard TCVN 4054-2005. The road has a total length of 17.5km, including three separated route sections as follows: 16. The route section No.1 : Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh route section has a total length of 10.6km, connecting from the tourism center of Dong Hoi city, Bao Ninh commune to the center of Hai Ninh commune, Quang Ninh district. The starting point of the route section is from Km0 to road 60m under Bao Ninh commune and the ending point of the route section at Km10+ 829,93 in the center of Hai Ninh commune connects to the road running to tourism destinations, resorts, sport and entertainment areas of FLC group. The route section is under provincial road 569, running along the sea, from Dong Hoi city to Quang Ninh and Le Thuy districts, and locates on the same place with Vietnam coastal road with detailed planning approved in accordance with Decision 129/QĐ-TTg dated 18 th January 2010 by Prime Minister. On the both sides of the route section, there are mainly casuarina trees and weeds. The ending section of the route with a length of 300m crosses Tan Dinh village where there is a high-density population. Because it is the aggregate pavement, it is muddy in rainy season and dust in dry season which cannot meet the demand of serving the tourism purpose in the coastal area from Bao Ninh to Hai Ninh.

Figure 1: Map of Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh route section

17. Route section No.2: An – Son, Le Thuy district has a total length of 3.225km, connecting from the center of Kien Giang town, passing An Thuy and Son Thuy communes to the East branch of Ho Chi Minh road. The route section was constructed in the period of 1999-2000 with the width of pavement of 3.5m. Because of the high demand of transport and travelling and effect caused by nature, structure of roadbed and pavement and some structures on the route have been seriously downgraded which cannot meet the demand of travelling and circulating goods of people living in the region. About 2km of the starting section of the route (from Km0 to Km2) is concreted with the width of 3.5m; the remaining route section having length about 1.4km (from Km2 to Km3+400) is the aggregate road with the width of 3.5m÷4.0m. On the route section, there is one bridge with the width of 4m and length of span of L=12m being exploited, however, the bridge has been downgraded and will not ensure safety for heavy truck. In addition, there are two old large culverts on the route which are box culverts and structured by cast in situ place concrete with aperture of 2x (3mx3m) and 3x (3mx3m) and log brush slit to prevent salinization. Thus, it needs to have a suitable construction method for upgrading of the route section.

Figure 2: Map of An-Son route section 18. Route section No.3: connects from BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac sea, Le Thuy district with a total length of 3.061km and technical infrastructures of Tan Hai beach and Ngu Thuy Bac sea service area. The starting point of the route is at Km0, connecting to BOT road (NH 1 A has been invested in accordance with BOT method), and the ending point is at Km3+ 637,60 in Tan Hai beach, Ngu Thuy Bac commune. This is the main road, connecting coastal communes in the east of Le Thuy district to the BOT branch road, NH1A to the center of Kien Giang town. The route section is rural road on the existing earth roadbed which does not meet technical standards. Pavement is asphalted with the width of 3.5m and has been seriously downgraded. Because the road is designed with one lane, it is difficult for drivers to avoid opposite direction vehicles and will cause risk of traffic accident so that it does not meet the demand of travelling and circulating goods of people in the region. There is no bridge on the route section, only some small drainage culverts are existed on the route; therefore, it is proposed to be lengthened these culverts to be suitable for the aperture of expanded roadbed.

19. This updated RP is prepared for 02 sections (An Son section and BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac sea section). The uRP for section No.1: Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh section will be updated after completing the DMS and RCS.

Figure 3: Map of the route section connecting BOT branch road to Ngu Thuy Bac B. Civil works to be undertaken 18. According to preliminary design, route sections of Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh; An-Son; and route section connecting from BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac beach under the subproject of constructing tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province are designed to grade V - plain road in accordance with standard TCVN 4054-2005 with main specifications as follows: + Width of roadbed: Broadbed= 7.5m + Width of surface road: Bsurface road= 5..5m + Width of roadside: 2x1. 0m + Cross fall of pavement: 2% + Cross fall of earth roadside: 4%. 20. Route direction: The route central line is based on the existing roadbed. And it is constructed by reinforcement concrete for An- Son route section; asphalt concrete for Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh route section and the route section connecting BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac beach, specifically: (i) Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh route section basically runs on the old 569 road with some sections adjusted to ensure specifications of grade III – plain road, specially the ending section is adjusted to pass adjacently residential area to avoid clearing house of people; (iii) the route section of An- Son, Le Thuy district and the route section connecting from BOT bypass to Ngu Thuy Bac sea with central line completely run on the existing roadbed. 21. Structures on the route: According to the proposal of the province, it is newly constructed one bridge and lengthened two old irrigation culverts on the route section of An- Son, Le Thuy district, newly constructed two bridges passing two spillways on Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh route section, specifically: (i) bridge on An – Son route and two bridges on Bao Ninh – Hai Ninh route: are designed with B=12m, width of 7m, span structure of 1x12m, concrete tensioned beam, length of span of L=12m; beam with box cross section; thin abutment made by reinforcement concrete is put on reincorcement concrete pile; (ii) on the route of An – Son, Le Thuy district, there are two old culverts with structure of box culvert having aperture of 2x (3mx3m) and 3x (3mx3m) and log brush slit to prevent salinization. 12

Currently, quality of the culverts are in good condition and it is proposed to be lengthened to be suitable for the aperture of pavement of the project. C. Mitigation measures 22. To minimize impacts of land acquisition and resettlement on the local people, the measures taken are as follows: improving the roads based on the existing alignments. Realignment will only be undertaken locally where the curves do not meet the design standard. Temporary use of land may be considered to avoid more loss for local people. The APs will be informed early about the land acquisition schedule so that they will not plant crops that cannot yet be harvested by the time the land is required for construction and also will not construct new houses and structures in the ROW. Positive and negative impacts during the subproject construction process have been determined such as noise and effect on traffic. However, when mitigation measures are applied, the negative impacts will be mitigated. D. Objective of Resettlement Plan 23. This uRP ensures that the subproject will wherever possible (i) avoid involuntary resettlement; (ii) minimize involuntary resettlement by design solutions; (iii) improve or, at least, restore living conditions of people to their pre-project condition, and (iv) improve living condition of the poor and vulnerable groups. 24. This uRP is the guiding document that identifies the key issues to address in reconciling the requirements of ADB’s SPS (2009) on Involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples Policies with National and Provincial Government Policies. The concerns about involuntary resettlement and ethnic minority are included in this document. The uRP includes the main issues as follows: (i) Policy and procedural guidelines for asset acquisition, compensation, resettlement, and strategies that will help ensure full restoration of the AH’s livelihood and standard of living; (ii) Identification of HHs and communities to be adversely affected by the subproject, what asset will be compensated and poverty reduction measures. (iii) A plan on how AHs will be involved in the various stages of the Project, including resolution of grievances; (iv) An estimate budget for uRP implementation; and (v) A monitoring mechanism on resettlement implementation for the subproject. 25. The uRP is based on the subproject’s detailed technical design. This uRP will be submitted to ADB for review and approval before awarding civil works contract. Full payment of compensation, support and allowance to all AHs must be completed, and confirmed by the resettlement consultant, before commencing civil works construction II. PROJECT IMPACTS A. Survey process 26. The social impact assessment (SIA) was conducted in the 04 communes affected by the subproject. The SIA comprised of Detail measurement survey (DMS) for all AHs and socioeconomic survey (SES) of AHs within the subproject area. A meaningful consultation with both local residents including affected people was held in all subproject communes in June 2020. Additionally, a replacement cost study (RCS) was also carried out in February 2020. 27. Detailed measurement survey (DMS) was undertaken from December 2019 to May 2020 and based on the detailed engineering design of the subproject. The DMS was completed by the land development fund of district in cooperation with CPCs and PMU through reference to the cadastral records of the affected communes combined with the detail engineering design and confirmed with 13 local commune officials and through measurement of the affected area and assets on land of all affected households. DMS included collection of the following data and information: - Households information: name of householders, gender, ethnic and address; - Affected land: residential land, agricultural land, forestry land, ponds, lakes and others, etc., classified as type, area, and legal status; - Affected houses and structures: houses, kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, warehouses, garages, yards, gates, fences, animal facilities, wells, etc., classified as type, construction structure, area, or volume; - Affected trees and crops: perennial crops, fruit trees, bonsai, shade trees, rice, crops are classified as quantity or area; - Impacts on production: stands, stalls, manufacturing establishments, income, labors, etc., - Impacts on public infrastructures: schools, healthcare station, telecommunication, power, water, etc., - Impacts on cultural or religious structures: churches, temples, etc., - Demands and selection of resettlement; 28. Socioeconomic survey : The SES was conducted by collecting socioeconomic information of affected households (including demographic characteristics of AHs, their income and livelihood, ethnic composition, education levels and on their concerns). By doing the survey, questionnaires are conducted for about 20% marginal AHs and 100% vulnerable households to collect information. The survey also collected statistical data from the Province, District and Communes and from the Provincial and District publications including the annual socioeconomic reports in 2019 of communes. 29. Replacement cost study : has been undertaken by the technical resource and environment center and in February 2020. Replacement cost assessment aims to collect information on the market prices of crops and assets/structures in areas surrounding the proposed civil. Following Quang Binh province policies 2, the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities are responsible for organizing appraisal and decision on land prices and adjusting the increase in price land coefficient (K – Land adjustment coefficient) with the land allocated by District People's Committee, which is annually enacted by the Provincial People's Committee in accordance with the laws. The People's Committees of districts, towns and cities are responsible to the Provincial People's Committee and the laws for their competent decisions. Therefore, Le Thuy district People's Committee is responsible for appraising and approving land prices to calculate compensation for affected households. 30. The compensation rate for “construction of Tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province (Phase 1)” had been approved on 13 March 2020 by Le Thuy people committee. 31. All the surveyed rates were used as the compensation rates to calculate the compensation and support cost of subproject. The compensation rates in the uRP had been informed with all affected households through public consultation. There are no comments about the estimated cost in public consultations. . B. Permanent impacts 32. Impacts caused by the subproject on households/organizations: The subproject affects a total of 32 HHs (25 HHs (119 people) and 7 organizations).

62. Ethnic minorities : In the subproject area, there are no EM households. 63. Gender issue : Most women at subproject communes participate in Women's Union. In addition, they also participate in other associations such as farmer association, parent association. They were given the opportunity to participate in community activities such as training on cooking, agricultural extension, and vocational training – making. In some communes of subproject area, reconciliation committees are established so that, when there are issues related to domestic violence, they can assist and support women. 64. Both women and men share farming such as rice, crop cultivation, irrigation; and family works. Women play the main role in family chores as cooking and cleaning. Men participate more in community activities. In the family, gender equality is shown clearly through decisions made by both husbands and wife on type of plants, stocks, investments and uses of money, education of children, and things between paternal, maternal sides. Thanks to training on community awareness of gender and gender equality, awareness of women role in the family and social matters is relatively enhanced. 65. Gender Action Plan. A Gender Action Plan was prepared for the subproject during project preparation in favor for women participation, creating income increase chances for women without burdening their life and empowering women in subproject areas. During the project implementation, there will be have some potential negative affected women and children such as the construction of subproject roads may lead to traffic disturbance; the outsource worker may come to the local area to carry out the construction can lead to social evils such as gambling, the spread of social diseases that will affected to the local people, especially women. There are some expected activities to enhance women participation, creating income increase chances for women without burdening their life and empowering women in subproject areas: - Enhance women’s participation in decision making: in all community participation consultation during subproject implementation, the women should be encouraged to join and give the opinion. The subproject community supervision and monitoring committee, will consist of at least 1 female member. During the public consultations, the representatives of Women Union of commune have been invited. - Economic empowerment for women: Contractors gives Equal employment opportunities for female and male local people (equal pay for work of a similar value, prohibit use of child labors...) C. Social impact assessment 66. Potential negative project impacts . A social impact assessment (SIA) has been conducted through socio-economic survey and DMS and community consultation to identify both positive and negative impacts caused by the subproject, and measures of negative impact mitigation and enhancing subproject benefits to local people. Results of SIA show that land acquisition is insignificant so that it does not much impact on incomes and livelihoods of APs. 67. For use of local labor during the subproject implementation process: a large number of workers will be mobilized to carry out the construction, these workers may cause risks disease transmission to local people, especially women such as sexually transmitted infections like HIV and also social evils like drugs. 68. The construction of the subproject may cause negative impacts on women. However, these impacts are not significant because a few of workers from outside and construction duration is short. Moreover, mitigation measures will be considered through the processes of design, compensation and resettlement. In addition, during the construction process, environmental pollution such as dust, construction waste and noise may affect people. The impacts can be mitigated through mitigation measures proposed through EMP.

69. Expected Positive impacts . The subproject will bring a lot of positive effects to local people. The expected positive impacts are as follows: (i) To Improve transportation conditions in project communes where the poor people live; improve accessibility to the markets, production locations, health centers and schools of local people; reduce living costs and improve potential for adding value to agricultural products; (ii) To create new jobs/works for local people leading to improving income for them and/or vulnerable persons from the subproject; (iii) To provide opportunities to improve the role of women and enhance their participation in community activities through gender action plan; and (iv) To directly contribute to poverty alleviation in the subproject commune. D. Measures taken to minimize the negative impacts 70. In order to mitigate negative impacts on local peoples, at all stages of the project, the project staff will disseminate project information to and conduct consultations with people to ensure that they will get maximum benefit from the subproject outcomes in a culturally appropriate manner such as: mitigation of impacts on land acquisition, avoiding impacts on religious works of people in the locality. During the construction process, the contractor should use dust and noise mitigation measures and restore quality of road if construction vehicles cause damage to the road. The contractor also needs to use measures of disseminating and preventing risks of sexually transmitted infection and discouraging or preventing social evils. 71. The subproject does not affect negatively livelihoods of local people. There are no severely affected HHs in subproject. Only 1 vulnerable HH affected by subproject. This HHs are encouraged to join in annually training programs freely of communes. Thus, it is not necessary to establish a livelihood restoration program. IV. INFORMATION DISSEMINATION, PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION A. Information dissemination 72. In compliance with the ADB requirements, the PMU will collaborate with the CARB/LFDC and CPCs in publicly disseminating the final RP as approved by the PPC and ADB. The subproject information booklet has been made available in the Vietnamese language and delivered to affected community in May 2020. 73. APs are notified in advance of resettlement activities, including community meetings to disseminate subproject information about the scope of the subproject, work alignment plan, site clearance plan and construction plan. They are also involved in public meetings to discuss (i) detailed measurement survey results; (ii) lists of eligible APs and their entitlements; (iii) compensation rates and amounts, (iv) payment of compensation and other assistance; and (v) the grievance redress mechanism. 74. This uRP will be uploaded in ADB websites in English and disclosed to people through commune and village meetings. The staff of CPC and mass organizations will disseminate the information to community through loud speakers and other oral communication means in traditional market days as well as in public meetings. B. Public Consultation and Participation 75. Public consultations and community participation is encouraged in all the project cycle, including planning, designing, implementing, and monitoring. The objective of the Public Consultation and Participation is to develop and maintain avenues of communication between the Project and different stakeholders including APs to ensure that their views and concerns are incorporated into 22 project preparation and implementation with the objectives of reducing or offsetting negative impacts and enhancing benefits from the Project. Feedback from consultations plays an important role in the planning process, leading to the formulation of mitigation measures and compensation plans for project-affected communities, and for environmental mitigation measures. 76. The aims of Public Consultation and Participation are to: (i) provide full and impartial information to affected persons about the subproject, its activities, and potential impacts that affect them, and to provide an opportunity for their feedback on the subproject; (ii) explore a range of options for minimizing subproject negative impacts, and for those impacts that cannot be avoided, explore the range of options for, and ensure APs participation in the design of mitigation measures; (iii) gather information about the needs and priorities of APs as well as their feedback on proposed resettlement and compensation policies, options and activities; (iv) obtain the cooperation, participation and feedback of APs on activities to be undertaken in resettlement planning and implementation, in particular on the location for resettlement, planning and design of housing (if necessary), land and community facilities, and the development and implementation of the livelihood program to affect livelihood restoration and development; (v) provide a mechanism for continued dialogue, raising of concerns and monitoring of implementation; and (vi) Exploring options for the co-management of natural resources through participatory approaches aimed at sustainable use and conservation. (vii) The method of consultation and participation has to ensure two-way exchange of information between the affected community and the project in accordance with the traditional culture of the locality, taking into account gender issues, social justice and the principle of equality. 77. Consultation and participation during the RP preparation. Five focus group discussions and consultation community consultation were conducted with local authorities, mass organizations, APs and non-APs in December 2016 and April 2017. The objective of the consultation meetings was to provide information, as much as possible, on the subproject to local authorities, mass organizations, APs and non-APs, and discuss and document their comments on subproject issues. Specifically, the following subjects were presented and discussed: (i) subproject description: location, size and scope of impacts; (ii) the subproject’s implementation plan; (iii) the Sub-Project’s policies in terms of land acquisition, compensation and resettlement assistance as well as eligibility criteria; (iv) the Sub-Project’s grievance redress mechanism; and (v) issues related to gender, restoration of incomes, livelihood and other support policies 78. Results from observations and consultation meetings with local authority, organizations and affected people are summarized as follows: (i) affected and non-affected people support and agree with improvement and upgrading of the road; (ii) during the meetings, the potential impacts of the subproject in terms of land acquisition were duly discussed with APs whose lands and assets will be affected; All

agreed that the impact of subproject is marginal however all impacts on the assets should be compensated and assisted; (iii) The APs agreed with the subproject's principle on compensation and resettlement assistance; (iv) During the detailed design phase, it is necessary to consult with communal authority and local people; (v) It was noted that the environmental impacts of the subproject during construction are inevitable, but these can be minimized with the proposed mitigation measures in the EMP; (vi) It is necessary to have proper construction method especially for the road section running through residential area, structures of households near the road, structures of CPC, school, bridge and culvert in the territory of communes. During the construction period, the traffic should be controlled so that the disturbances to transportation, production and business of local people as well as enterprises will be avoided. (vii) Before civil work commencement, it is necessary to check the condition of houses close to the road to avoid the dispute on the cracking of the house; (viii) It was proposed that meaningful consultation with and participation of women in the process of RP implementation, management and monitoring will be continuously undertaken in next steps; (ix) APs proposed that the compensation payment should be paid at one time and before the start of construction. The APs also mentioned that the issues on the quality of the subproject should be considered and that they are willing to be representative in the Community Monitoring Board during subproject construction; (x) Complaints of APs should be resolved timely and successfully.

In order to ensure that all APs’ grievances and complaints on any aspect of land acquisition, compensation and resettlement are addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner, and that all possible avenues are available to APs to air their grievances, a well-defined grievance redress 25 mechanism needs to be established. All APs can send any questions to implementation agencies about their rights in relation with entitlement of compensation, compensation policy, rates, land acquisition, resettlement, allowance and income restoration. Furthermore, APs will not be ordered to pay any fee from all administrative and legal fees that might be incurred in the resolution of grievance and complaints at any level of trial and court.

In case the court will rule in favour of PPC, then the complainant will receive compensation approved by PPC. 87. The grievance redress mechanism has been disclosed to APs during RP preparation and will be continuously disseminated to people during RP implementation. VI. LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK 88. The legal and policy framework for dealing with the resettlement impacts of the subproject is given based on relevant policies and laws of Viet Nam and the ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy (SPS 2009). In this section, the relevant policies and laws of Vietnam, including policies of Quang Binh Province, and policies of ADB are outlined, then if difference between these policies (of Vietnam and of ADB) exist, reconciliation is done to establish policies and principles to be applied under this subproject.

A. ADB Policies 89. Involuntary Resettlement . The main objectives of ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement is to avoid or minimize the adverse impacts on people, HHs, businesses and others in the implementation of development project. Where resettlement is not avoidable, the involuntary resettlement must be minimized by exploring project and design alternatives, and enhance or at least restore the living standards of the affected persons to at least their pre-project levels. The SPS June 2009 also stresses on a new objective of improving the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. The policy applies to full or partial, permanent or temporary physical and economic displacement resulting from (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. Resettlement is considered involuntary when displaced individuals or communities do not have the right to refuse land acquisition those results in displacement. 90. Indigenous Peoples (IP)/Ethnic Minorities (EMs). The main objectives of ADB’s IP safeguards policy under the SPS 2009 5 are to: (i) avoid adverse impacts of projects on the environment and affected persons, where possible; (ii) minimize, mitigate, and/or compensate for adverse project impacts on the environment and affected persons when avoidance is not possible; and (iii) assist in strengthening country safeguard systems and develop the capacity to manage environmental and social risks. The policy is triggered if a subproject directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of EMs or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that EMs own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral domain. Should ADB projects affect EMs, a set of general policy requirements are observed to maintain, sustain, and preserve their cultural identities, practices, and habitats (SR-3 of SPS 2009). A set of special requirements are in place should projects be (i) within ancestral domains and lands and related natural resources, (ii) commercial development of cultural resources and knowledge of EMs; (iii) physical displacement from traditional or customary lands; and (iv) commercial development of natural resources within customary lands under use that would impact on livelihoods or cultural, ceremonial, or spiritual uses that define the identity and community of EMs. 91. All people living in the territory of the subproject communes are Kinh people. The subproject also does not cause effect on the identity, culture and life of people. Thus, RP/uRP will be established and REMDP is not required for the subproject. B. National Laws on Involuntary Resettlement 92. Compensation, Assistance and Resettlement. The Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (2013) confirms the right of citizens to own and protect the ownership of a house. In addition, the Government has enacted a number of laws, decrees and regulations that constitute the legal framework for land acquisition, compensation, assistance and resettlement. The principal documents include the Land Law No. 45/2013/QH13, dated 29/11/2013, providing Vietnam with a comprehensive land administration law; Decree No. 47/2014/ND-CP, dated 15/5/2014 on compensation, assistance, rehabilitation and resettlement in the event of land recovery by the State; Decree No. 44/2014/ND-CP, dated 15/5/2014 specifying the methods for land pricing and land price frameworks in the event of land recovery by the State and Decree No. 43/2014/ND-CP dated 15/5/2014 providing guidelines on implementation of the Land Law 2013 and Circular No. 37 /2014/TT-BTNMT, dated 30 Jun 2014, guiding on implementation of Decree 47/2014/ND-CP, and Circular No. 36/2014/TT-BTNMT, dated 30 Jun 2014, guiding on implementation of Decree 44/2014/ND-CP.

5Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 27

93. Laws, decrees and decisions relevant to public disclosure of information include the Law on Land, No. 45/2013/QH13, Article 67, requiring disclosure of information to the DPs prior to recovery of agricultural and non-agricultural lands. 94. In Quang Binh province, the compensation payment of construction of tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province are based on the following decisions: - Decision No.1498/QD-UBND dated March 13, 2020 of the People's Committee of Le Thuy district approving specific land prices for calculation of compensation for site clearance for the construction of the “Tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province (Phase 1)”. - Decision No.40/2019/QD-UBND dated December 20, 2019 of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province, promulgating compensation rates for all types land in Quang Binh province in the period of 2020-2024; - Decision No.20/2018/QD-UBND dated August 28, 2018 of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province, promulgating compensation rates for aquatic plants, animals, tombs, and relocation costs when the State recovers land in in Quang Binh province. - Decision No.22/2018/QD-UBND dated September 13, 2018 of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province, promulgating compensation, support and resettlement policies when the State recovers land in in Quang Binh province. - Decision No.41/2016/QD-UBND dated December 15, 2016 of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province, promulgating compensation rates for houses and structures on affected land when the State recovers land in Quang Binh province. C. Reconciliation of Government and ADB Policies on Resettlement 95. With the promulgation of the Land Law 2013, including Decree No.47/2014/ND-CP and Decree No.43/2014/ND-CP, Decree No.44/2014/ND-CP, the policies and practices of the national Government have become more consistent with ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (SPS 2009). However, there are still some significant gaps between the Government policies and the ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. 96. The following table provides a gap analysis of ADB’s Policy (SPS 2009) and Government’s policy on involuntary resettlement and ethnic minority, and measures for filling gaps applied for the subproject.

119. Replacement cost . A replacement cost survey has been undertaken by the technical resource and environment center and in February 2020. The Methodologies of the replacement cost study are that: 120. For land: the coefficient-based method was used for determining the price of target land plot. Land prices determined using the coefficient-based method as follows: - Collect information about at least 03 plots of land in the same target area that have been transferred or sold at land auction over the previous 02 years. If information in the target area is not sufficient, information shall be obtained from adjacent areas with similar natural conditions, socio-economic conditions, technical and social infrastructure as the target area. - If income and cost of the land plot have been determined, information about income and cost of at least 03 plots of land in the same target area shall be collected to determine land prices using income-based method. - Determination of common land prices at each location. If market land prices fall within a price range, the common land price shall be the arithmetic mean of the prices at that location. - The land price coefficient is determined according to common land prices, local socio- economic conditions, and land prices on the land price list. - After that, value of the target land plot = Land price on the price list x Land price coefficient 121. For structures, the market price is evaluated by both reviewing existing legal documents (Regulation of provinces and the decrees, circulars regarding principles on compensation in case of land acquisition by the State for the purposes of national defense, economic development, public utilities) and checking some quotas for list of construction materials from nearby construction material stores; 122. For crops and trees, it is evaluated by asking market prices of these crop and/or seeking perceptions of local seller and agricultural producers. 123. The compensation rate for “construction of Tourism road, connecting Dong Hoi city to the southern areas of Quang Binh province (Phase 1)” had been approved on 13 March 2020 by Le

Thuy people committee. The compensation rates for crop/tree and structure are based on the rates issued by the PPC and the results of public consultations indicate that the current prices for houses and structures and crops and trees issued by Quang Binh provincial People's Committee for compensation are acceptable. 124. For uRP, the selected price of structures, land, crops are at the replacement cost. All these prices had been used to calculate the compensation cost. The compensated rate in the uRP had been informed with all affected households through public consultation. There are no comments about the estimated cost in public consultations. The market price of land, structure and trees are presented in tables below.
