The training also served as an opportunity to finalise the socio-economic
baseline survey and asset valuation questionnaires. The training workshop
was concluded in June 2011.
6.4.4 Stage 2B: EIA Study - Detailed Enumeration Study for RAP
Following preliminary investigations it was found that resettlement of certain
communities was required and would thus require an enumeration survey.
Although this enumeration survey is required for the RAP, the results of the
survey were also used to augment the socio-economic study. The associated
stakeholder engagement activities are described below.
The socio-economic enumeration survey was conducted 22-27 August 2011 by
a team composed of four surveyors from the Ministry of Lands, Survey and
Housing and the four social specialists from the University of Ibadan. The
survey covered the three key communities of Ihovbor-Evboeka, Orior-
Osemwende and Idunmwowina-Urho-Nisen with the aim of obtaining
baseline socio-economic data, and a quantitative description of the
communities surrounding the proposed Project. The survey focussed on
identifying all households, graves and shrines within these three
communities.
The collection of additional data on the existing land users in the area also
provided an opportunity to inform the community about the Project, obtain
community approval for the forthcoming asset census survey and to define
cut-off date for this survey. The results of the survey are being used to plan an
asset census survey, which will assess the direct economic and social impacts
resulting from the proposed resettlement.
The detailed outcome of the survey will be further discussed in the RAP,
which is being produced alongside the EIA. Further details of meetings held
as part of the enumeration survey can be found in Annex A.
6.4.5 Stage 2C: Asset Census Survey for RAP
As part of the requirements for an international standard RAP, an asset census
survey was carried out in the Project-affected communities of Ihovbor-
Evboeka, Orior-Osemwende and Idunmwowina-Urho-Nisen. The census
made use of detailed questionnaires and census forms to develop a thorough
understanding of the socio-economic profile of the affected communities,
including property, livelihoods, housing and income/ savings.
In addition to being used to calculate compensation as part of the RAP, the
information gathered during the asset census survey will be contribute to the
data used to evaluate the social baseline, impact assessment and development
of management measures. The asset census survey was completed in October
2011.
