INTRODUCTION A. Background 1. The Government of Madhya Pradesh (GOMP), with a sector project loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB), has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein referred as ‘the Project’. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) shall be the Implementing Agency (IA) and the State Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) shall be the Executing Agency (EA) for the Project. A project management unit (PMU) created under MPUDC is implementing the MPUSIP. 2. The Resettlement Framework for MPUSIP outlines the objectives, policy principles and procedures for land acquisition, if any, compensation and other assistance measures for Displaced Persons1 /Affected Persons, if any. This framework reflects the borrower’s law on the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013, State Government policies, ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 and other social safeguard guidelines. A detailed description of compensation measures and assistance is provided in the entitlement matrix. 3. An entitlement matrix, consistent with the existing norms and guidelines of the country and the state government, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement has been prepared to cover losses identified in this Project. The matrix recognizes that the lack of title/customary rights recognized under law will not be a bar to entitlement and has special provisions for non-titled persons. The eligibility for compensation will be determined through a cut-off date. People moving into the sub- project area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to compensation or other assistance. 4. Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Program (MPUSIP) proposed to be funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) envisages provision of sustainable water services to 128 towns in the State; out of which provision, of sewerage and storm water management services is proposed in some towns.
