Development interventions such as physical infrastructures undoubtedly result into significant positive impacts to the community and the residents both in terms of economic and social activities. However, it is equally true that any development intervention results in some negative externalities. In the case of road infrastructure projects, the obvious negative consequence would be in terms of the social costs associated with environmental damage and human dislocation. The department has promulgated the social policy framework and specific guidelines for the implementation of projects under NRIMP. The framework and specific guidelines are operationalized in the Policy Framework for Land Acquisition Resettlement and Rehabilitation (LARR) in general, and in the principles outlined for the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), in particular. The said framework is anchored on the philosophy that the adverse impact of NRIMP should be avoided, minimized and/or mitigated to ensure that the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) will not be worse off, if not, benefit from the project. Implicit in the framework are elements of just disturbance compensation based on fair market value and replacement cost, participatory process through local consultations, and internal/external monitoring to ensure proper and effective implementation of the projects. In order to operationalize the policies and principles outlines earlier, it is necessary to conduct rigorous and systematic assessment of the project areas based on acceptable standards in research methods and analysis. 2. In general, the objective of the RAP is to assess the extent of disturbance that NRIMP project will cause to local settlers and to provide the structure for RAP including the logistical requirements for implementation. Specifically, the objectives of RAP include: to set up a process to allow for public consultations with PAPs on the NRIMP projects; to determine the number and geographically locate the PAPs and assess the extent of disturbance; to estimate, based on current market value and replacement cost, the disturbance compensation; to provide the operational mechanisms for timely -RAP implementation including total budgetary allocations; and to formulate the terms of reference for internal and external monitoring of RAP implementation. RAP preparation and implementation was designed as a collaborative effort among three key institutions, DPWH, the LGUs, and the consulting firm. To ensure smooth implementation and effective coordination among these institutions, a series of orientation and public consultations were organized. The basic inputs for RAP preparation include primary and secondary data. Secondary data about the overall social and economic situation obtaining in the communities along the project sites were generated through municipal NRIMP-RAP: Bacuag-Gigaguit-ClaverRoad ii documents. Further, secondary data were also generated pertaining to assessed values of land improvement including structures and productive crops. Secondary data pertaining to the technical description of the project design were used in the linear acquisition and mapping. The determination of the compensation matrix for each of the affected households and the total compensation package was fairly straight forward. Valuation of structures affected by the Project were based on the concept of Replacement Cost. Values were determined based on the estimated quantity of materials needed to put up a structure similar to the one that will be demolished due to the Project and monetized using the current prices of materials as per records of the District Engineer's Office. Similarly, valuation of agricultural and other biological land improvements were based on the assessed value provided for by the District Engineer's Office. In special cases where additional entitlements were required, valuation schemes based on the principles outlined in the LARR Policy were adopted. The mechanical routine of generating summary of actual values were accomplished by simple algorithmic instructions for the computers using standard application software. The cost component of RAP implementation was determined by employing simple budget planning. 4. To ensure that the implementation of RAP will be done smoothly, it was embodied in the policy framework of NRIMP to undergo a series of public consultation. The public consultation was done at two levels. i.e. at the municipal level and at the barangay level. 5. The Bacuag-Claver Provincial Boundary Road segment under NRIMP I is part of the long- term development of the Surigao-Davao Coastal Road. However, for Phase I of NRIMP, the Surigao Norte Contract Package is only one of the three which includes Marihatag-Barobo-San Francisco Road in Surigao del Sur and Mati-Manay in Davao Oriental. The Bacuag-Claver Provincial Boundary road improvement section comprises of two sections which apparently stretches across the three municipalities for a total road length of about 44.5 kilometers. The other segment which starts from the town of Claver up to the provincial boundary is generally a gravel road. Only about 2.7 kilometers of road is paved with concrete and the remaining stretch of roughly 26 kilometers is paved with gravel characterized as either in very bad or bad condition. 6. The total number of affected structures is 159.
