settled elsewhere. Also crops and trees lost will have to be compensated. It is therefore
imperative that with the planning:
� HH survey data is analysed and Focus Group Discussions held with the PAPs
� Land is identified for resettlement
� PAPs are involved in identifying where they want to relocate
� PAPs are identified and confirmed and their structures are noted
� PAPs whose crops and trees are affected are also noted and crops and trees noted
� Modalities of compensation have to be worked out
� PAPs are involved in identifying alternative livelihood strategies should land not
be available for cash crop farming and planning for these strategies.
� Host communities are involved in the planning as they take on new settlers and
to ensure that conflicts are avoided.
� Infrastructure in host communities is upgraded to avoid pressure from increased
use due to additional people.
� Carry out public consultations. The consultations with all stakeholders
(involved) will be open, transparent and continuously ongoing in order to plan
and implement a successful programme.
� Institutions that will deal with resettlement are identified and their roles spelt
out.
� Eventual cut-off date will be set by the project (LEC) to avoid new people
moving into the project area
� Eventual implementation plan will be drawn up
� Eventual budget for the whole resettlement will be drawn up.
22.3 Resettlement Policy Framework
Since Liberia has no National Resettlement Policy, the Consultant will draft a
resettlement policy. The framework will be based on the WB OP 4.12 and the
legislations of the country that deal with land acquisition and expropriation. These laws
are shown in Chapter 2 of this report. The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) will
be written under separate cover.
22.4 Resettlement Plan Outline
The outline of the RAP will follow the points shown in section 22.2. A summary
follows:
� A complete survey of all affected settlements is carried out and data analysed.
Each and every individual affected has to be interviewed.
� A detailed survey of the farm land i.e. counting valuable trees, measuring the
land and valuing this.
� Creating a comprehensive databank indicating name, gender of affected and
what they will lose. The data bank should be made with the possibility of adding
new information when collected. Data should be disaggregated to capture which
gender has ownership, income and other socio-economic aspects in the HH.
� Establishing a cut-off-data once the survey is concluded. It is crucial that people
are informed as early as possible if they have farm land in the reservoir.
� Drafting of livelihood strategies and income restoration.
