Wolff, Gary | Hirji, Rafik | Davis, Richard
The objective of the Khammouane Development Project for Laos is to strengthen the planning process and public financial management associated with the decentralized delivery of public services and infrastructure, including irrigation development, in Khammouane Province. Some of the negative impacts and the mitigation measures of the project are: (i) acquisition of land and other assets, and resettlement of people will be minimized as much as possible; (ii) all Project Affected Peoples (PAPs) are identified in the project impacted areas as of the date of the baseline surveys. They are entitled to be provided with rehabilitation measures sufficient to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living standards, income earning capacity and production levels, lack of legal rights to the assets lost will not bar the PAP from entitlement/compensation to such rehabilitation measures; (iii) the rehabilitation measures to be provided are: (a) cash compensation at replacement cost without deduction for depreciation or salvage materials for houses and other structures; (b) agricultural land for land of equal productive capacity acceptable to the PAP; (c) replacement of residential and commercial land of equal size acceptable to the PAP; (d) and transfer and subsistence allowances; (iv) replacement residential and agricultural land will be as nearby as possible to the land that was lost, and acceptable to the PAP; (v) plans for acquisition of land and other assets and provision of rehabilitation measures will be carried out in consultation with the PAPs, to ensure minimal disturbance.
