PAD - LGED

Social and Environmental Rating Substantial
Description:
Social: LGED has experience in dealing with
land acquisition and resettlement with similar
projects including RTIP-I. However, this has
included a number of difficulties in the
valuation of acquired structures, delays in
payments and disputes on acquired land during
RTIP-I implementation.
Lack of precise assessment of land acquisition
and resettlement impacts creates difficulty in
implementation of resettlement plans and
aggrieve the affected persons. LGED has the
experience of dealing with land acquisition and
resettlement in similar other projects including
RTIP-I, yet it has experienced a number of
difficulties including valuation of acquired
structures, delay in payment and disputes on
acquired land during RTIP-I implementation.
Project components foreseen to not require land
acquisition and resettlement may need
additional private lands during implementation.
Delays in implementation of resettlement action
plans hamper project execution.
Environmental: Despite LGED's previous
satisfactory performance to date on
implementation of environmental action plans,
LGED's does not have adequate capacity to
implement environmental management plans
under RTIP-2.
Delay in the effective implementation of
resettlement action plan jeopardizes project
completion. Implementation of resettlement
action plan under RTIP1 has been marginally
