1.1 Background The Government of Nepal has given high importance to the expansion of the country's road transport facility to remote areas. In this context the Ministry of Physical Planning and Works (MOPPW), Department or Roads (DOR) is implementing a number of road projects in various parts of the country. Road Sector Development Project (RSDP) is one of those projects which will provide better road network and momentous links that can enhance the poverty reduction ,in different hilly districts of Nepal.

Upgrading of existing earthen road facilities to all weather motorable roads through rehabilitation, widening of road width, upgrading to bituminous or sealed graveltotta seal level depending upon the economic importance as well as the traffic volume plying in the particular road sections will definitely facilitate mobility of people and transportation of goods from market to remote areas and vice versa. It will ultimately help to foster the socio-economic development of the remote rural areas of hilly regions.

1.2 Proposed Road Sector Development Project The Government of Nepal, through the Ministry of Physical Planning and Works (MOPPW), Department of Roads, has appointed the consultants for the detailed engineering design and construction supervision of up-gradation work of different Roads being financed under the World Bank assistance.

Satabanjh - Jhulaght road is classed as Feeder Road (FRN 50) and it starts at Satabanjh Chowk and ends at Jhulaghat of Nepal India border. This road section links the district headquarters of Baitadi district. This road is intended to be upgraded to sealed gravel standard by which it will provide transportation facility to a wider influence area of Baitadi district.

This study consists the findings of social aspects of the Satbanjh-Jhulalghat (36.85 km) to all weather sealed gravel standard with 5.5m width. Regular bus and truck services operate to Satabanjh - Jhulalghat. The objective of the study is to prepare Resettlement Action Plan for the project affected people and severely affected persons. It is also aimed to identify the affected land, houses, trees etc. along the construction width of the road.

1.3 Present Road Sector Program RSDP is concerned with the improvement and upgrading of the existing road. Satabanjh- Jhulaght road is to be constructed using low-cost methods. This road is located in the Far Western Development Region. This Road is anticipated to improve the general mobility and access to Basuling, Gurukhola, Dehimandu VDCs and Dasharath Chand Municipality (DCM) of Baitadi district. The influence of the road for the people in close proximity will benefit considerably. 1.4 Impact and Losses Road construction will have a range of positive and negative socio-economic impacts. Positive impacts will be envisaged at both macro and micro levels. The road will provide improved access to markets and other social service facilities within the influenced area. It will also improve the economic activities in the local area. The negative social impacts are basically related to the loss of assets like houses and structures, land, trees and other community property.

1.5 Aims of the Resettlement Action Plan This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is particularly focusing to address the folloqing adverse impacts associated with road improvement and upgrading works. RAP addresses social impacts and ensures successful rehabilitation of project affected households; specially the RAP details: Private and community resources affected by the project (eg. Land, houses, infrastructures etc) and the entitlements required for effective households reestablishment; The likely number of individuals and households affected by the project and the number of households that may be displaced; Organizational and institutional requirement for the implementation of compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation activities; Implementation schedules and monitoring mechanisms and Compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation cost estimate The overall aims of the RAP with Government of Nepal (GoN) legislation and World Bank guidelines (OD 4.30 and OP4.12), are as follows: The acquisition of private assets and the displacement of people will be avoided or minimized to the extent possible, through the incorporation of social considerations into alignment selection and road design. Where asset acquisition and population displacement are unavoidable, the pre-project living standards of affected persons will be restored. Community consultation ensures people's views; concerns and suggestions will be incorporated into implementation procedure. An institutional framework will be developed as an integral part of the project to ensure that appropriate social impact management mechanism are set up and maintained during implementation. These mechanisms and arrangements will ensure that compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation are camed out timely and effectively. Construction work will commence on road sections only after acquisition procedures completed.

1.6 Methods of RAP The RAP research method includes social impact assessment followed by a census of potentially affected persons and verification of their affected assets.

1.6.1 Social Impact Assessment The social impact assessment was undertaken as a part of environmental study. The study identified the following key social issues for investigation: Loss of private property and other assets (land and houses) and compensation modalities for these losses Population displacement Construction employment opportunities Potential for social development

1.6.2 Census and Asset Verification A census of potentially affected persons was recorded. The census teams consisted of Sociologist, Research Supervisor, Design Engineer, Enumerators, representative of District Land Survey Office and other concerned District Level Officials. The engineering staff identified upgrading requirements and likely areas of land acquisition.

I.6.3 Land Acquisition Suwey The objective of the land acquisition survey is to identify extent and effect of land loss, to assess entitlements and to prepare land compensation award papers. The technique of survey is review of land records and ownership deeds.

1.6.4 Assets Inventory Suwey The objective of the household census survey is to prepare a complete inventory of affected persons and their assets as a basis for compensation, to identify non-entitled persons. The technique is complete enumeration of all affected households and their assets through household questionnaire.

1.6.5 Socio-economic Survey The objective of the socio-economic survey is to prepare profile of affected persods, to prepare resettlement action plan, to assess incomes, to identify productive activities and plan for income restoration, to develop relocation options and to develop social preparation phase for vulnerable groups. The technique is around 20% sample survey of affected household using household questionnaire.

Census and asset verification entailed the following: Recording of household size, composition and related demographic features; Recording of household assets Identification and joint verification of affected assets Numbering, photographs of affected buildings and structures;

1.7 Scope of RAP Most of the highways and feeder roads in Nepal have a legal right of way of 50m and 30m. On the existing road, land acquisition was based on land donations. The government did not legally acquire any land outside the actual road surface. In the context of the existing project, land acquisition is limited only to the additional road surface for the improvewent of road width of 5.5m. The corridor of influence of the road is limited to the formation of road surface.

For the existing RSDP, the corridor of influence (COI) is defined as the road formation plus a safety zone where necessary. Asset acquisition will only take place where required for upgrading purposes or safety zone. Other assets outside the COI will be left undisturbed.

Compensation is applicable only to persons who are directly affected through, the loss of privately-owned or community property within the COI. However other rehabilitation and mitigation measures will be extended to include persons outside the COI who may be affected in less direct ways.

An abbreviated RAP is generally acceptable if fewer than 200 people are displdced even if more than 200 people are affected, and land acquisition is less than 10 percent andno physical relocation is involved (OP 4.12). In case of this road section, the number of affected population that needs to be resettled due to road upgrading works is less than 200.

1.8 Road Length Covered by the Project The Entitlement Policy will cover the whole section of the road approved for World Bank funding under the project. The road length to be covered by the Entitlement Policy is shown below. Table 1.2: Road Length Covered for RAP Name of Road Start Point Road Length End Point VDCIMunicipality Covered Satabanjh-Jhulaghat Satabanjh 36.85 krn Jhulaghat Basuling, Gurukhola, Dehimandu & Dasharath Chand Procedures have been established for the transfer of titles of land acquired for the initial construction of the upgrading road sections. In addition, owners who are affected by current construction activity within the start to the end points will be considered as project affected persons (PAP) and eligible to entitlements. 2. APPROACH AND OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK

2.1 Approach The RAP is prepared under the GoN policies and World Bank guidelines. WB policy and guidelines emphasize the need to avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement. Where the acquisition of private property is unavoidable, involuntary resettlement should be an integral part of project design and preparation.

Nepal Government policy also acknowledges the importance of avoiding adverse socio- economic impacts in road design and construction. Attempts should be made to avoid areas of small land parcels, homes hops and other structures as far as possible.

The preparation of the RSDP has been guided by the GoN and WB objectives and social considerations have been incorporated into road design. However, geological and topographical factors, as well as land use and settlement patterns, make the acquisition of private property for road construction inevitable. I 2.2 Operational Framework As the project authority, DoR will assume overall responsibility for the panagement procedures as mentioned in the RAP. Key activities to be undertaken to ensgre effective implementation of resettlement, compensation and rehabilitation activities are: ~ Implementation of procedures to (i) minimize adverse social impacts includinb acquisition of land and assets throughout the planning, design and implementation phbses and (ii) accurately record all project-affected persons, by means of census and asset verification and quantification exercises, and the issuing of identification; I Establishment of systems and procedure for the co-ordination of resettlement and I compensation activities; Establishment of Local Consultative Forums (LCFs) at VDC level to effectibely address the social issues associated with the project. The objectives of this participation program I will be to: (a) ensure ongoing dissemination of project information to affected households, (b) structure regulate and strengthen communication between roadside combunities, (c) involve affected communities and local government structures in social impact

management, grievance resolution and monitoring. I Distribution of copies of the approved Entitlement Policy, and follow-up community meetings to ensure full comprehension of its contents; I Capacity-building initiatives to create a supportive environment fpr the implekentation of RAP activities, including training on accepted resettlement and rehabilitatibn practices, training in the establishment of compensation plans for affected household; Co-ordination with other government line agencies like Department of Forestry and Ministry of Local Development to ensure effective delivery of mitigation and rehabilitation support measures; and Collaboration with non-governmental agencies to provide .grassroots expertise and resources in areas such as project information campaigns, poverty alleviation and income- generation projects, and impact monitoring.

2.3 Definitions The following definition will be applied in the Resettlement Action Plan under Road Sector Development Project: Compensation: The payment in cash or kind for private property acquired by the RSDP, based on replacement value as defined by the Compensation Determination Committee (CDC).

Major children over the age of 18 years will be entitled to rehabilitation measures as outlined in the Entitlement Matrix but not to compensation for properties held by other members of the household. Severely Project Affected Family (SPAF): A household which has to be resettled because of the acquisition of its house, business enterprise, or rented accommodation or a household from which land acquisition exceeds 25% of its total landholdings, in the case of landholding larger than 0.25 ha, or 10% of its total landholdings, in the case of landholdings of 0.25 ha or smaller, or where land losses lead to the remaining landholding not being economically viable. Project Affected Group (PAG): Communities or groups which lose community resources to the project. Rehabilitation: The measures taken to mitigate identified social impacts, including compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation and transition allowances where required. Replacement Cost: The open market value of the project-affected pfoperty. For agricultural land, this includes reference to land of equal size, type and productive potentially in the vicinity of the affected land and land preparation costs where required. For houses and other buildings, this includes reference to the market price of &aterials and labor, and the cost of transporting materials to the building site. Replacement cost further includes the cost of any registration and transfer taxes for land and buildings. Titleholder: The person in whose name the project-affected land andlor building is registered and who is authorized by law to receive the compensation gra~tedfor the acquisition of land.

This chapter considers key positive and adverse social impacts associated with improvement and upgrading road, including prospect for general social development, against the background of current socio-economic conditions.

3.1 Project Area Satabanjh-Jhulaghat road is located in Baitadi district of Far Western Development Region. The road has linked Basuling, Gurukhola and Dehimandu VDCs as well as Dasharath Chand Municipality. The project area is hilly and mountainous having less agricultural productions. Project Affected Persons (PAPS) in majority of the cases are unable to rely on agricultural production to be self sufficient. Facilities for the improved education, healthcare, access to market are needed.

VULNERABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

4.1 Introduction Altogether 5 vulnerable (Dalits) households were found in the study area basically in direct impact zone. All these families are affected by the project though the extent of impact is low. The case histories of these 5 families are given below. This will give the socio-economic status of the vulnerable households.

Case Study 1

Ram Prasad Poudel aged 45 years is the head of the family. His original title of the family name is Sunar (goldsmith), but he prefers to be known as Poudel. He lives in Gurukhola-6, of Baitadi. His main livelihood comes from agriculture. He has 7 members in the family. He has total land of 0.05 hectare. Because of the project his land to acquire is 70 m2. His 13% land will be affected. This will affect his family subsistence in a sustainable way. His demand is for good compensation of his land. He has been informed that compensation of land is to be estimated by CDC.

He is aware of this rule and he is also ready to work in the project as laborer. He is also ready to have training in any income generating activities. MR Ram Prasad Paudel's family will not be displaced from his settled house due to the acquisition of land by project.

Case Study 2

Bhakta Bahadur Poudel aged 70 years is the head of the family. He lives in Dehimandu Bazar area of Dehimandu-8. He has 13 members in the family. Out of which 8 are male and 5 are female. His occupation is agriculture but has service too. He is also a trader. He has business (a shop) in the market. He has total land of 0.52 hectare. Among the total land holding, about 64 m2 lands is affected by the project which is about 1 percent. He wishes to have good compensation for his land. He is aware that this development of road and his location of land in the bazaar area will create good income for his family. He also wants to have his children employment in the project.

The family of Mr. Bhakta Bahadur Poudel will not be displaced from his house because of the acquisition of land by project. Case Study 3 Kashi Ram Tiruwa, aged 22 years is the head of his family. He has only 3 members in his family. He is settled in Buthkhola of Dasharath Chand Municipality, Baitadi. His main occupation is agriculture. He has 0.56 ha land. The project will take around 60 m2 of his land. He is not worried aboqt it because road will developed in the area soon. He wants that compensation of land should be given as soon as possible. He is also given as to how the process of compensation moves and how CDC will give priority for compensation. I

He wants that some kind of employment or training for his economic development. Mr. Kashi Ram Tiruwa's family will not be displaced from his house because of the acquisition of land by project. I

I I Case Study 4 I I Padam Ram Tiruwa, aged 28 is the head of family. He is settled h Buthkhola of Dasharath Chand Municipality, Baitadi. He has 4 members h his family. His main subsistence depends upon agriculture. He holds 0.55 Ha, land. His 18 m2 land falls under road which has to be acquired. In this way he will lose about 0.33 percent of his agricultural land. I

He wants to be employed in the project. His desire is to get mo@ compensation of his land from the project. Mr. Padam Ram Tiruwa's fami9 will not be displaced from his house due to project.

It will be better to get involve any incode generation activities. She wants to have good cash as compensation for her land. This family will not be displaced from their house due to $e acquisition of land. 4.2 Suggested Program for Vulnerable Community Livelihood and standards of living of vulnerable communities, in this road mostly Dalits will have to be assisted through training or given opportunities of income generating activities. Consultation with Dalits regarding their skills, needs and priorities was made and found that they were not having any special skills. Based on the findings of the social assessment, some of the program should include:

a Skill training on repair and maintenance construction works (such as electrical, mechanical, house wiring, masonry, carpentry, sewing and knitting. Training on income generating activities such as vegetable production, non-timber products collection afid cultivation, food processing, agricultural micro-enterprises, poultry, bee- keeping, livestock raring and furniture etc. Informal education literacy course to women, Hygiene and sanitation campaigns Saving and credit schemes Nursery establishment, plantation of fodder and fruit trees etc. Knowledge that improves hill farming techniques and soil protection measures against erosion and mineral depletion. 5. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

5.1 Introduction The study team has visited and consulted with different governmental organization, project affected people, key informants and other relevant people of the project area. The government organizations which were directly consulted within the field study period are: District Administration Office, District Land Survey Office, District Land Revenue Office, District Development Office, District Forest Office and District Agriculture Office.

Furthermore, the study team visited all the affected households of the project area. The team recorded information of affected assets of the affected household and other socio-economic

I information through household census and survey. I

In this way this Resettlement Action Plan has been prepared in close consdltation with stakeholders at different levels including the district level line agencies, local pebple, project affected households, local level social workers, representatives of political business I men, and other stakeholders. The objectives of such consultation comprised of: I = Assessment of socio-economic information required for the study. Information dissemination to the people about the project in terms of project ictivities and I scope of work. I

Understanding the perception of the local people. I I Generate idea regarding the expected demand of the affected people. Assess the local people's willingness to get involved with project and e{urnerate the measure to be taken during the implementation.

5.2 Methods of Public Consultation , The task of public consultation was carried out in different stages during the project preparation. In fact, since the beginning of the field reconnaissance survey to the period of censes, the process of consultation remained continuous varying over different tim&periods.

5.1: Methods Employed During the Course of Consultations II Stakeholders Purpose ~ethdd I Department of Road To collect government's Policy, Frequent individbal meetings guidelines and to seek advise for initiating with the official bf DOR I

5.3 Scope of consultation The scope of consultation, especially with the local people and project affected population was focused to inform them about the nature of project and its activities. During the consultation information was also shared about the possibilities of acquisition of private assets by the project at compensation cost. In addition, along with information dissemination the consultation also aimed at taking people's opinion and suggestions on the project and its impact.

5.4 Issues Raised in Public Consultation Affected land owners must be paid appropriate compensation at the earliest period as the land price is increasing at the alarming rate. Construction of the road should begin immediately. Road should be maintained on regular basis and should be blacktopped. The transportation fare is very costly for the people. If the construction work and blacktopped is done, people will get the employment opportunity. Majority of the people are poor, they do not have the income source therefore people are attracted to involve in road construction activities. Some people are thinking that government will compensate house amount for their displaced household. They are aware on the procedure of land, house compensation which will provide by CDC, which is chaired by CDO. Some people of Dehimandu Bazar say that two years before their houses were removed by DOR but the compensation of land was not provided. Road has affected the land of Niglasaini Temple located at Dehimandu Bazar. Even if the land belongs to Guthi, its compensation should be provided. Previous survey gave the information that some houses at Dehimandu were affected by road but it is not affected now. They asked the question why it is not affected now. So they are asking that their houses should fall under the road. There is willingness among the people to provide land for the road construction and improvement with appropriate compensation. Traffic police, staff of the buses, traders and business men demanded that road should be made wider and strongly built. Especially, the road within market area should be wider. Turning portion of the road should be wider. They also asked if the compensation of their land and houses will be given within the ROW of 15m, they are ready to provide their land. 6. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

6.1 Domestic Legislation Land and asset acquisition will be undertaken within the framework of the Land Acquisition Act (for permanent land acquisition) and the Public Road Act (for temporary land acquisition).

Key provisions of the Land Acquisition Act are: I The act empowers GoN to acquire any land, on the payment of compensation, for public purposes and works. The acquisition and compensation of privately-owned assets are undertaken adcording to a formal procedure, consisting of initial procedures, preliminary investigation process, I acquisition notification, compensation notification, and appeal procedures. ~ I a Compensation Determination Committees are established (at district level) ;to ascertain I I compensation rates for land and other assets. I Compensation must be paid for damages caused by the road construction and for land and assets permanently acquired by the project (including standing crops, trees and houses). a Compensation must be in cash, although titleholders who have lost all of their1 landholding

may be given replacement land, if available. I Titleholders are required to submit compensation claims or complaints within a specified period after issuance of the land acquisition notice by the Local Authority (dhief District Officer). Compensation for land is paid after determination of rates and verifibation of the I list of entitled applicants by the CDC. , I I I I Key Provisions of the Public Road Act: l a The Act empowers Department of Roads (DoR) to acquire any land on a tedporary basis (for storage facilities, construction camps etc.) during road improvement an4 upgrading. The temporary acquisition of land containing any buildings (houses, shebs, temples, schools etc.) is avoided wherever possible. The Act also empowers DoR to "lid earth, stone or sand from any adjoining land" during construction and upgrading works. ~ a The Act does not provide for leasing of land. However, DoR is required to pay compensation for any damages caused to buildings, crops and trees, where the farming I activity of the landowner is interrupted, and where the landowner has to incur~ expenses to restore the land after its return. I Compensation is determined between DoR and the titleholder, or througd mediation, involving officials from the relevant VDC and District. , GoN may prohibit, through notification the Nepal Rajpatra (Government Gazette), the construction of any permanent structure (other than walls) within 6m of the ioad limit or l edge. I

The provisions of the Land Act, 2021 (1964) pertaining to the maximum permitted size of individual landholdings also apply to land acquisition, since a landowner $ay not be compensated for more land than he is entitled to under the Land Act regulations. The Land Act additionally specifies the compensation entitlements of registered tenants on land sold by the owner or acquired for development purposes. The registered tenant entitled for 50% compensation.

Land acquisition must also comply with the provisions of the Guthi Corporation Act, 2033 (1976). Section 42 ofxthis Act states that Guthi (religious trust land) acquired for a development must be replaced with other land (rather than compensated in cash).

6.2 Policy Guidelines Land acquisition, compensation and resettlement will, furthermore, comply with World Bank Operational Directive 4.30 (being reissued as Operational Policy 4.12 and Bank Procedure 4.12), dealing with involuntary resettlement and compensation for losses associated with development projects. The overall principle of OD 4.30lOP 4.12 is that PAPs are provided with prompt and effective compensation for all loses directly attributable to the project, with lost assets valued at full replacement cost. The value of benefits to be derived from the project is also not deducted from the valuation of the affected asset, not is depreciation of the asset or the value of salvage materials.

OD 4.30/OP 4.12 requires that PAPs who lose land are given a range of options from which to choose, rather than cash compensation only. It recommends replacement land where losses occur in an agricultural setting, while acknowledging that cash payments may be appropriate "where the residual. landholding of the affected person remains economically viable." It also states that a flat rate of cash compensation (based on, or exceeding, local land market rates) may be paid on linear projects where narrow strips of land are required and it is "inefficient to determine the precise replacement cost for each affected parcel," provided that these land losses do not have a significant effect on household living standards. To ensure that living standards are maintained, this practice is recommended only where land losses amount to less than 10% of any land parcel.

Apart from legal titleholders, OD 4.3 OIOP 4.12 additionally specifies the compensation entitlements of different categories of non-titleholders. Those with no legal rights at the time of the census and verification exercise who have a claim to such rights under domestic law (from uninterrupted use of public land with no official eviction orders) should qualify for the full range of entitlements, provided that "such claims become recognized under the laws of the country through a process identified in the resettlement plan." Other PAPs who occupy land in violation of domestic laws are entitled to compensation for assets such as buildings and standing crops but not to compensation for land losses. Where they have had uninterrupted possession of the land "for at least one year prior to the commencement of census, they are entitled to resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for land."

Finally, OD 4.30lOP 4.12 specifies a number of measures to enhance the reestablishment of PAPs. These include timely consultation with affected and host communities and assistance to PAPs during the acquisition, resettlement and reestablishment periods. 7. ENTITLEMENT FRAMEWORK

Through the acquisition of private and community assets, the RSDP will affect property owners, their dependants and community groups. This Entitlement Framework accordingly specifies compensation andlor rehabilitation measures for two units of entitlemeni individuals including affected individuals and their households, and groups.

7.1 Unit of Entitlement I Individuals I This category includes individuals who may suffer one or a combination of tHe following I losses: Loss of cultivation land (titleholders and tenants); Loss of all or part of residential building (titleholders, tenants and squatters); Loss of all or part of a commercial building (titleholders, tenants and squatters); I Loss of rented accommodation (tenants); Loss of income sources and income-earning capacity; ,

This category also includes the household members of the person suffering any of the abovementioned losses i.e. PAF. For compensation against the loss of privately-helh assets and resources, the unit of entitlement will be the titleholder. For rehabilitation assistaice, the unit of entitlement will be the PAF. For example, in some cases, household subdistence and survival strategies may be disrupted through the loss of land or business enterpriies. In these cases, rehabilitation measures will be extended to all adult household members to support the re-establishment of their former diving standards. I I

Groups ,I I The project may also have indirect, less-quantifiable or unforeseen effects on people living in the vicinity of the road corridor. Positive impacts (such as the potential for agricul$ral exports and diversification of local economic activities) may occur spontaneously or Irequire co- operation between different government sectors. Potential negative impacts may include a reduction in the constrained access to natural resources, impacts on water supply a4d irrigation systems, or changes to local employment practices, where these impacts occur, dhey will be mitigated under the project. Special attention will be given to social categories and boups who because of their social position may be vulnerable to the changes brought about bqi the project or excluded from its associated benefits.

7.2 Houses and Other Structures I Owners of houses and other structures such as sheds and water mills will be compensated in cash for full or partial losses, at replacement cost as determined by the CDCs. This will include titleholders, tenants and squatters occupying public land at the time of the eligibility cut-off date (i.e. census). Owners will have the right to salvage materials from the affected buildings. The value of salvaged materials will not be deducted from the final compensation amount. Owners (i.e. titleholders, tenants in own accommodation, and squatters on public land) of houses and commercial establishments to be relocated will receive displacement allowances as described in Section 7.5. Displaced occupants of rented accommodation will receive a rental stipend as described in Section 7.5. Displaced households and owners of commercial establishments who own the affected residential land will be assisted with the identification of suitable replacement residential or commercial plots in the vicinity, or paid cash compensation (at replacement value) for the lost plot. Tenants who have built their own houses on rented land will be assisted with the identification of alternative residential sites in their local communities. Since this is a linear development, the relocation of large numbers of households to new settlements involving host communities is not anticipated. However, if this is to happen, resettlement assistance will be provided to ensure effective integration with host communities and adequate provision of facilities. Affected community buildings and facilities will be repaired to their previous condition or replaced in areas identified in consultation with affected communities and the relevant authorities. These include schools, temples, health posts, water points, irrigation canals and footbridges.

7.3 Land Titleholders will be compensated for all permanent land losses at full replacement cost. The current DoR practice of acquiring private land through donations will be allowed provided that; o The land in question is free of squatters, encroachers or other claims or encumbrances; o Affectced owners and communities participate equally with project authorities in . alignment selection; o Affected owners are informed of their right to compensation for the acquired land; o Affected owners are not classified as SPAFs; o Affected owners have recourse to CDCs to raise and have grievances resolved; and o The voluntary nature of each donation is fully recorded and verified by the donor, DoR and relevant district and local officials. In conformity with current international and local practice, households will be classified according to the percentage of land loss for the determination of entitlements and rehabilitation assistance. The overall principle will be that titleholders with total landholdings of 0.25 ha or smaller who lose more than 10% of their landholdings; and titleholders with total landholdings above 0.25 ha who lose more than 25% of their landholdings, will be classified as SPAFs and entitled to additional rehabilitation measures. However, SPAF classification based only on percentage land loss, potentially ignores or simplifies complex socio-economic processes and additional context-specific criteria will be applied in conjunction with local official and representative of local community for the further identification of SPAFs. One of the most important losses is the loss of inigated cultivation, since this land type plays an important role in household agricultural production. Another is the size of household landholdings, both before anh after land acquisition. Additional social criteria to determine severity of land losses include the household's development cycle and off-farm economic activities. , Titleholders who lose less than 10% (landholdings of 0.25 ha or less), or 25% (landholdings larger than 0.25 ha) of their total landholdings, or whose prodiction levels are not severely affected by the loss of land, will be offered cash compensation. Titleholders who lose more than 10% (landholding of 0.25 ha or less), or 25% (landholding larger than 0.25 ha) of their total landholdings, or whose production levels bre severely affected by the loss of land, will be offered a choice of assistance with the ipentification I and purchasing of replacement land or cash compensation. I At the request of project authorities, local government authorities, CDC will be: responsible for determining the SPAF status of households whose productioh level is dkemed to be severely affected. , I A titleholder, who loses more than 75% of land parcel or total landholding, will have the option to relinquish the remainder of that parcel or landholding, in return for assistance with the identification and purchasing of replacement land or cash comiensation at replacement cost. = Tenants will be eligible for the portion of the compensation payable to the affected I landowners as required by GoN legislation. Where tenants lose mdre than 10% of the land being cultivated by them (in the case of a cultivated area less than 0.25 ha) dr more than 25% of the land being cultivated (in the case of a cultivated area less than 0.h ha), they will receive a cultivation disruption allowance as specified in Secti~n7.5. I Temporary occupation of private land will be undertaken withih the framekork of the Public Road Act. A temporary occupation contract will be; signed with affected landowners, specifying - the period of occupancy, the formuli( for the calculation of production losses and annual inflation adjustment, the frequency of compensation payment and land protection and rehabilitation measures. I = It is not assumed that the project will have a significant impact on communal land (grazing land). However, where such land is acquired by the project, the Department of figriculture, and Forestry will assist affected communities in the improvement of remaiiing grazing areas and fodder resources to ensure the pre-project levels are nhaintained dr improved

upon. I

I 7.4 Crops and Other Natural Resources I Construction works will as far as possible be planned to allow for the harvesting of non- perennial and perennial crops before land is acquired. Where crops can not bk harvested, cash compensation will be paid based on crop market values as determined by the CDC. All other privately-owned resources will remain the property of the concerned oher. Compensation will also be paid for the loss of future production from individually-owned fruit, fodder and timberlfuelwood trees, and other perennial crops. Compensation rates will be calculated by the CDCs based on five years annual net production for fruit and fodder trees, and three years annual net production for timberlfuelwood trees, and other perennial crops. The annual production value of the different categories of trees will be established by a local natural resource specialist. Affected owners will additionally be assisted by the Department of Forestry and Agriculture with the reestablishment of new treeslperennial crops. Where community-owned trees are acquired, the Department of Forestry will consult with user groups regarding future production losses and compensation modalities. These consultations will be formally recorded to ensure equitable access to rehabilitation and compensation measures. User groups will also be assisted with the reestablishment of new treeslperennial crops and the establishment of community forestry programs.

7.5 Displacement Allowance

In addition to compensation for asset losses, Severely Project Affected Families (SPAFs) will qualify for the following allowances: Households who are required to relocate will receive a Housing Displacement Allowance equal to two month poverty line income (PLI) (calculated for a household of 5.5 members). Titleholders, tenants in own accommodation and squatters will be entitled to this allowance, to be paid at the time of compensation payment.

Owners of commercial enterprises who are required to relocate will receive a Business Displacement Allowance equal to two months PLI for a household of 5.5 members, paid at the time of compensation payment. Households whose landholdings are no longer economically viable as a result of land losses will receive a Cultivation Disruption Allowance equal to one season's production on the area of cultivation land lost. The amount payable will be based on published District and VDC production figures, land type and market prices for crops for the year in which the land is acquired. The allowance will paid at the time of compensation payment. Displaced households of rented accommodation will receive a Rental Stipend equal to 0.5 month PLI for a household of 5.5 members, paid at the time of compensation payment to the house owner.

I

7.6 Rehabilitation Measures I Apart from the provision of displacement allowances, the rehabilitation of SPAFs will additionally be supported through the following measures: o Counseling regarding project impacts, compensation alternatives and risks, and resettlement options (where required); o Counseling on saving schemes and cash management o Preferential access to road construction employment opportunities, to the extent possible; l o Assessment of current economic activities and potential for improvemdnt of these activities, as well as alternative income earning opportunities; I l o Assistance, with training in life skills; and l o Assistance to gain access to national poverty alleviation and credit program$. The project will, in addition, facilitate the assessment and (where feasible) establishment of small-scale income-generating schemes for SPAFs. These schemes impledented by a number of INGOs and NGOs include horticulture, sericulture, handicrafts and bee-keeping I etc. I I These rehabilitation measures will be extended to vulnerable groups to the vi$inity of the road corridor who may be adversely affected by the project even though they do not lose assets within the COI. The social categories will be identified by consultatio communities and may include: o Porters and other non-vehicular transport providers o Tribal groups, and o Landless households.

7.7 Government Property , Government infrastructure and facilities affected by the project will be repaired or replaced in consultation with the relevant departmental authorities. I I I Government forest area will be acquired in consultation with the Ministry of ~oiests. I The loss of government trees in the COI will be mitigated by means of dfforestation exercises undertaken by DoR in consultation with the Department of Forestry. ~ Entitlement Matrix Type of Loss / Entitlement Unit I Description of Entitlements Implementation Measures 1 1.

SOCIAL IMPACT MANAGEMENT

Since the RAP deals with a wide range of different communities and complex social systems and issues, it will always have element of uncertainty. Emphasis should be given on strategic and adaptive management, monitoring of local reactions and timely implementation of corrective measures. This chapter outlines the organizational framework to be established for RAP implementation. It also discusses monitoring requirements, before concluding with an overview of the major planning, administrative and logistical requirements for the successful implementation of the RAP.

8.1 Organizational Framework - An organizational setup for RAP implementation is necessary for effective coordination to ensure compliance with policies and procedures, land acquisition and resettlement activities and implementation of mitigation measures.

As the project authority, DoR will assume overall responsibility for RAP implementation. This -- will require: Implementation of procedures to minimize adverse social impacts throughout the planning, design and implementation phases; = Implementation of procedures for the recording of all project affected persons by means of census and asset verification and quantification exercises; Establishment of procedures for the coordination of resettlement and compensation activities; Implementation of information dissemination campaigns Capacity building initiatives to create a supportive environment for the implementation of RAP activities; Coordination with other government line agencies and NGOs to ensure effective delivery of mitigation and rehabilitation support measures;

To ensure the achievement of these activities, organization for RAP implementation and management will occur at both central and district project level.

8.1.1 Central Level Arrangement The program coordinator will be responsible for overall project coordination and management. Operating form the DoR head office, the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) will have small team of DoR support staff dedicated to the social aspects component. The social development support team within PCU will be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a centralized RAP management system.

8.1.2 Project Level Arrangement While central level arrangements are necessary for coordination of RAP activities, project level arrangements are required for effective RAP implementation. Each road section will be headed up by a Project Manager. The Project Manager will have a road section support team. Other relevant district officials will be deputed to RSDP team during the land acquisition process when required.
