USD: United States Dollar
Definitions:
Asset Inventory: A complete count and description of all property that will be acquired by the project.
Carriageway: Area of road used by vehicles. It is bounded on either side by road shoulders.
P a g e | ii
Compensation: Payment made in cash or in kind at replacement value for an asset or a resource affected by the
project at the time the assets need to be replaced.
Displaced Persons: People or entities directly affected by a project through the loss of land and the resulting loss of
residences, other structures, businesses, or other assets.
Economic Displacement: Loss of income or means of livelihood resulting from land acquisition or obstructed access
to resources (land, water or forest) caused by the construction or operation of the road.
Economic Rehabilitation: This implies measures taken for restoration of income or economic recovery so that the
affected population can improve or at least restore its previous standard of living.
Eligibility: The criteria for qualification to receive benefits under a resettlement program.
Eminent Domain: The right of the state to acquire land, using its sovereign power, for public purpose. National law
establishes which public agencies have the prerogative to exercise eminent domain.
Grievance Procedures: The processes established under law, local regulations, or administrative decision to enable
property owners and other displaced persons to redress issues related to acquisition,
compensation, or other aspects of resettlement.
Kibanja: “Kibanja” is a Luganda word for a parcel of land on Mailo land. No title deed is associated with
kibanja purchase: the Mailo owner (who holds the title deed) simply writes a purchase agreement
witnessed by village local leaders (LCs), giving a person buying kibanja full rights to own and use
the purchased portion of Mailo land. Such buyers can sell their bibanja to new owners but notify
Mailo owner and local leaders about the changed ownership. “Bibanja” is plural for kibanja.
Luganda is language of Baganda- the largest tribe in Uganda. Bibanja ownersare protected by
Ugandan law, but are obliged to pay annual royalties to the Mailo owner. Mailo land tenure system
is feudal land ownership introduced by the British in 1900 under the Buganda Agreement (of 1900).
"Mailo" is a Luganda word for “mile” as the original grants under the agreement were measured in
square miles. Mailo land is owned in perpetuity by owners and all such land parcels have title
deeds.
Land Acquisition: This is the process of acquiring land under the legally mandated procedures of eminent domain
Physical Displacement: Loss of shelter and assets resulting from land acquisition associated with the project,
requiring affected persons to move to other locations.

P a g e | iii
Population Census: A count of the people or persons who would be affected by land acquisition and related
impacts. When properly conducted, the population census provides information necessary for
determining eligibility for compensation.
Project Cycle: This is the process of identifying, planning, approving, and implementing a Bank-supported
development activity. In the African Development Bank, the project cycle is divided into the
following stages: Identification, Preparation, Appraisal, Negotiations, Approval, Loan Effectiveness,
and Implementation.
Project-Affected Area: The area subject to a change in use as a result of construction and operation of the road.
Project-Affected Households (PAH): A PAH is a household that includes one or several project-affected persons
and usually comprises a head of household, their spouses, children and other dependents (for
example, parents, grandchildren).
Project-Affected Person (PAP): Any person who, as a result of the implementation of the project, loses the right to
own, use, or otherwise benefit from a built structure, land (residential, agricultural, pasture or
undeveloped/unused land), annual or perennial crops and trees, or any other fixed or moveable
asset, either in full or in part, permanently or temporarily. Affected people might be displaced either
physically (“Physically Displaced People”) or economically (“Economically Displaced People”).
Replacement Value: The rate of compensation for lost assets, that is, the market value of the assets plus
transaction costs (taxes, registration fees and cost associated with registration or transfer of new
land). The replacement value of an item must reflect the cost at the time it is due for replacement.
For land and structures, “replacement value” is defined as follows:
i) Agricultural land: the market value of land of equal productive use or potential located in the
vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of preparation to levels similar to or better than those
of the affected land including fees of any registration and transfer taxes;
ii) Land in urban areas: the market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved
public infrastructure facilities and services, preferably located in the vicinity of the affected
land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes;
iii) Household and public structures: the cost of purchasing or building a new structure, with an
area and quality similar to or better than those of the affected structure, or of repairing a
partially affected structure, including labor, contractors’ fees and any registration and transfer
taxes.
Resettlement Action Plan: A planning document describing measures to address direct social and economic
impacts associated with involuntary land acquisition for the project.
Resettlement Assistance: Support provided to people who are going to be physically displaced by the project.
Assistance may include transportation and other services that are provided to affected people
during relocation. Assistance may also include cash allowances to compensate affected people for
inconveniences associated with resettlement and settle up expenses during transition to a new
locale and lost workdays.
Resettlement Entitlements: Resettlement entitlements with respect to a particular eligibility category are the sum
total of compensation and other forms of assistance provided to displaced persons in the
respective eligibility category.

P a g e | iv
Resettlement Strategy: The approaches used to assist people in their efforts to improve (or at least to restore) their
incomes, livelihoods, and standards of living in real terms after resettlement. The resettlement
strategy typically consists of payment of compensation at replacement cost, transition support
arrangements, relocation to new sites (if applicable), provision of alternative income-generating
assets (if applicable), and assistance to help convert income-generating assets into income
streams.
Road reserve: Area of land typically extending from the centre line of the road, owned by the road and within
which the roads authority has rights to extend the road and place associated infrastructure. This
area can also be used for placing surface or subsurface utilities (water mains, electricity, telephone
cables etc).
Stakeholders: A broad term that covers all parties affected by or interested in a project or a specific issue—in other
words, all parties who have a stake in the project. Primary stakeholders are those most directly
affected—in resettlement situations, the population that loses property or income because of the
project. Other people who have interest in the project such as the UNRA itself, beneficiaries of the
project (e.g., road users), etc are termed secondary stakeholders.
Vulnerable Groups: People who may by virtue of gender, ethnicity, age, physical or mental disability, economic
disadvantage or social status get more adversely affected by resettlement than others; and who
may have limited ability to claim or take advantage of resettlement assistance and related
development benefits.

Executive Summary
P a g e | ix
Project Name: Road Sector Support Project 4: Upgrading of Kyenjojo – Hoima – Masindi – Kigumba Road
to Bituminous Standard.
Country: UGANDA
Project Number: ………………
1. Introduction
Government of Uganda (GoU) through Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) is seeking funding from the African
Development Bank (AfDB) to finance the upgrading of Kigumba - Bulima (69 km) and Bulima - Kabwoya (66 km) road
section which is part of the 238 km “Kyenjojo–Hoima–Masindi–Kigumba” Road that is currently a gravel road
originating from Kyenjojo Town through towns of Hoima and Masindi, ending at Kigumba. According to AfDB
environmental screening guidelines, projects involving upgrading and rehabilitation of major roads, are classified
“Category 1”. AfDB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy (2003) requires a full Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared
if number of project affected persons (PAP) exceeds 200 people. This project affected 9005 property owners, hence
this RAP study. The study was undertaken by Air Water Earth (AWE) on behalf of an engineering design consortium
comprising Mott MacDonald and Kagga & Partners LTD.
Currently, the existing road is dilapidated and not able to meet current demand for service provision. It is anticipated
that the road project and development induced by it, will stimulate and uplift economic activity and increase demand
for infrastructure services along areas it passes through. Without the project, access to these areas will continue to
be difficult which inhibits socio-economic development. Different sections of the road are:
� Kyenjojo–Hoima: 150.5 km (Note: Section between Kyenjojo Town and River Muzizi, all in Kibaale District
will not be funded by AfDB);
� Hoima–Masindi: 54 km;
� Masindi–Kigumba: 33 km.
2. Project Description and Justification
The road to be upgraded is 238 km with gravel carriage way located in Western Uganda, running through Districts of
Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and end up at Kigumba Town Council in the newly created Kiryandongo District
connecting to Gulu highway. It is subdivided into three links (Table E1).
Table E1: Lengths of sections along the road
Link Section Length (km)
I Kyenjojo to Hoima 150.5
II Hoima to Masindi 54
III Masindi to Kigumba 33
Total length 238
The gravel road will be upgraded to Class II paved road standard with a carriageway width of 6 meters and 15 meter
road reserve. The rationale for the upgrade is comprised in the following key objectives:
� Provide a strategic link between the northern corridor (specifically south western Uganda, Rwanda and
Burundi and eastern DRC) and the Kampala - Gulu -Juba corridor. The Northern Corridor anchored by the
port of Mombasa in Kenya, is a key transport route for national, regional, and international trade of the five
East African Community (EAC) countries - Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.

P a g e | x
� Improve access to markets, social and health services and employment possibilities for residents within the
zone of influence of the proposed road.
� Provide a high standard road to support on-going and future oil and gas operations in the area.
The proposed project offers enormous distance and journey time savings for traffic to Fort Portal, southwestern
Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and in areas north of Kigumba (Gulu, Sudan and
northeastern DRC). The distance between Kyenjojo and Kigumba via Kampala is approximately 485 km; via the
proposed road it is 234 km, a saving of 251 km. Once the proposed project is completed, transport costs would
reduce by 50%.
3. Potential Impacts
Although upgrade of the gravel road to a paved surface will follow existing alignment, there will be social impacts
such as land take and impact on residential and commercial houses, business units, kiosks, crops and trees
(including fruit trees) where the road alignment is altered either to widen the carriageway or remove dangerous
corners. Several structures will be affected in Kagadi Trading Centre, Muhorro, Haikoona, Bwijanga and in other
places as detailed on strip maps. Along each section of the road, table below shows number of people affected and
land take.

Total 9005 516.89

Bulima-Kabwoya (66 km) 2406 59 354
Kigumba-Bulima (69 km) 1866 32 144
Total 4272 91 498
Along Bulima-Kabwoya (66 km) section, 59 buildings comprising 354 people will be demolished while the respective
numbers along Kigumba-Bulima (69 km) section are 34 households comprising 144 people. All together however, as
documented by the property count and valuation exercise, 4272 people were recorded to be losing various types of
assets along both these sections. These assets range from crops, fences, kiosks to permanent buildings.
Most of structures affected in towns and trading centres are permanent buildings while in rural areas both permanent
and semi-permanent buildings will be impacted by the project. Disruption to businesses and temporary loss of
income during relocation can be minimized if owners are allowed to rebuild replacement structures before completely
vacating the old ones where possible during the regulatory 6-month “notice to quit” period. Economically-displaced
people are people whose livelihoods are affected by the proposed road project and associated land acquisition. This
only applies to those whose business that will be required to relocate, but also to those employed in a business, or
those who lose livelihood (income or subsistence) due to loss of crops.

P a g e | xi
The proposed project offers enormous distance and journey time savings for traffic to Fort Portal, southwestern
Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and in areas north of Kigumba (Gulu, Sudan and
northeastern DRC). The distance between Kyenjojo and Kigumba via Kampala is about 485 km; via the proposed
road it is 234 km, a saving of 251 km. Once the proposed project is completed, transport costs would reduce by 50%.
It is expected that during construction, over 150 local people will benefit employment opportunities working on the
road sites or various economic activities such as support services (catering, housekeeping, etc) at workers camps.
There will be financial benefit for material suppliers and owners of land to be rented for camps, equipment yards and
borrow sites will. As indicated in the property valuation report, several churches, schools and health centres will lose
strips of land to the road reserve. Many community resources would lose land to the project and road redevelopment
could also cause temporary disruption to their access, such as when overburden is dumped into junctions leading to
these faculties such as to render them impossible to be accessed by women, children elderly or disabled people.
In some places, water mains and 33 kV power lines adjoining the existing road will need relocation during road
upgrade, causing temporary disruption in supply. There may also arise injurious damage (e.g. cracking) of private
property which, since outside project area, would not normally be compensated. Injurious damage to property during
project implementation can be mitigated or compensated as follows:
a) Monetary compensation to owners from contractor’s insurance.
b) Contractor to repair or replace, to owner satisfaction, any injuriously damaged property.
4. Organizational Responsibility for RAP Implementation
Uganda National Road Authority (UNRA) will be responsible for implementing the RAP. The Ministry of Lands,
Housing and Urban Development (MoLUHD) is a key institutional agency in which the Chief Government Valuer
(CGV) who approves valuation and compensation reports is found. The Ministry is also responsible for issuance of
land title deeds. District Land Boards in respective local governments develop compensation rates and will be useful
during RAP implementation, monitoring and grievance management. Local Councils will authorize compensation
payment schedules. Local councils will be involved in verifying identity of PAPs and grievance redress. UNRA may
sub-contract a contractor to implement the RAP but this is expected to work through the District Committees which
will comprise members from the District Land Board, Parish Land Committees, Local Councils (I-V), local leaders,
representatives of the PAP and identified NGO/CBO active in the area.
5. Public Consultations and Community Participation
Consultations with affected people were conducted from 22 nd September 2010 to 11 th November 2010. Consultations
also involved local leaders in the project Districts of Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo (which until
01 July 2010 was part of Masindi District). Largely upgrading the road from gravel to bituminous standards was
prevalently considered a timely and beneficial to the districts/ region and country. In spite of this, some of the key
issues were: UNRA to ensure equitable and timely compensation for all affected assets before road construction
commences. Property located away from the road and otherwise not eligible for compensation should be duly
compensated if damaged by contractors. Besides structures, this applies to water mains or power lines in towns e.g.
Katooke Trading Center. If 90% one’s land is affected and the remaining parcel is so small that it is not useful for
farming or settlement, the project should provide compensation for all the land so that affected persons can resettle
elsewhere they can purchase sufficient land. Additionally, PAPs required UNRA to ensure quick and proper
grievance resolution during RAP implementation.
6. Integration with Host Communities
It is expected that most affected home owners would have some land to reconstruct their dwellings a little back from
affected locations. Conversely, due to linear settlement pattern along roads and small size of commercial land
parcels (plots) in towns and trading centres, this may not always be possible and affected persons would have to

P a g e | xii
relocate to new plot of land but still within town. There is thus little possibility that a large population of PAPs would
be relocated to an entirely new host community.
7. Socio-economic baseline conditions
The existing road lies in five districts of Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo, in western Uganda. The
population comprised of Banyoro, Batooro, Banyankole and migrant tribes such as Bakiga, Baganda, Bafumbira and
Alur plus other migrants are from surrounding countries of Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite some regional and
localized differences, poverty in the districts is generally considerable and attributed to inadequate skills, land
shortage, poor farming methods, gender inequalities, low productivity, morbidity due to malaria and HIV/AIDS. More
men than women owned land in the project-affected area. Prevalently land is owned under tenure customary tenure.
The average affected household comprised of 6 people (higher than the national mean household size of 5.08). The
most affected age group was between 36 and 40 years. Most affected households were headed by males compared
to female-headed households. Firewood is the principal source of energy for cooking in the project districts. The
road project would not affect wood stock or access to firewood. Proportions of households using other types of fuels
like paraffin and electricity are almost negligible. Prevalently, households in project districts use paraffin candles for
indoor night lighting and only 9.5% of households had access to grid electricity for lighting.
A number of households with vulnerable PAPs, headed by terminally ill, widows, elderly people, orphans or disabled
people were identified along the road. These sought additional assistance during resettlement as documented in the
RAP. Malaria fever was the most prevalent disease in affected households followed by respiratory ailments (coughs
and flu). Most people (97% of people interviewed) in the project areas were aware of HIV/AIDS and how it is
transmitted. Health centres at sub-county levels and major hospitals (Hoima Referral Hospital, Masindi Hospital and
Kiryandongo Hospital) play a central role in the fight against HIV/AIDS and provide treatment, nutrition, free testing
and counselling including other outreach programmes like community sensitization through drama, music and sports.
From the survey, findings indicated that 19% of people aged 10 years and above have never attended school, while
20% completed primary school and only 8% completed secondary school with 5% have attained high tertiary
education. Primary data shows that a majority (51.4%) of PAPs dispose their waste in their gardens while (36%)
dispose it in a compost pit at the back yard while 12.6% of respondents burn their waste.
Significant historical buildings and monuments were found in this area. The region is an ancient place with evidence
of ancient settlement starting from colonial building together with Indian settlement terraces. Old buildings of the
colonial nature (1920-1930s) were observed especially at administration institutions. Fortunately they sites (old
buildings) will not be directly affected since they are about 70m from the road center. Monuments were also
recorded and these might not be affected except Businge monument which located in a roundabout of Kyenjojo-
Hoima -Masindi Road. This can be covered during construction but also maintained after construction phase.
Settlements along the project area are generally linear especially in trading centres. There is a mix of residential,
commercial and small scale industrial (maize, mills saw mills, welding) buildings including shops and market stalls along
the road. However, most buildings especially residential ones are located away from the road.
8. Institutional and Legal Framework
Key legislations governing compensation and resettlement in Uganda are the Constitution of Uganda (1995) and the
Land Act (1988). Article 237(1) of the Constitution vests land ownership in citizens of Uganda, however under Article
237(1)(a), the Central or Local Government may acquire land in the public interest. The Constitution prescribes
various tenure regimes in accordance with which rights and interests over land may be held. It provides procedures
to follow in acquiring land in the public interest and provides for the “prompt payment of fair and adequate
compensation” prior to taking possession of land. The Land Act (1988) is the principal legislation on land tenure in
Uganda which emphasizes adequate, fair and prompt compensation by the developer of the occupier or owner of

P a g e | xiii
land. The Act creates a series of land administration institutions consisting of Uganda Land Commission (ULC),
District Land Boards (DLB), Parish Land Committees (PLC) and Land Tribunals. Section 78 of the Act gives valuation
principles for compensation i.e. compensation rates to be yearly approved by DLBs.
The following legal instruments provide the legal framework for compensation and resettlement in Uganda:
� The Uganda Constitution (1995)
� The Local Government’s Act 1997
� The Land Act, 1988
� Physical Planning Act , 2010
� Valuation Act 1965
� The Access to Roads Act ,1965
UNRA’s Land Acquisition Manual (LAM) was designed to satisfy regulatory and key financiers resettlement
requirements, based on the following principles: (i) Compensation should be aimed at minimizing social disruption
and assist those who have lost assets to maintain their livelihoods. In accordance with Ugandan laws and standards,
a disturbance allowance is to be provided to PAPs to cover costs of relocation during resettlement; and (ii)
Community infrastructure must be replaced and ideally be improved in situations where it was deficient. This for
example includes roadside water sources.
Preparation of the RAP has taken into consideration safeguard policies of the AfDB (Involuntary Resettlement Policy,
2003) with the aim to ensure that project-affected persons should be assisted to improve their livelihoods and
standards of living or restore them to pre-displacement levels or levels.
9. Eligibility
The cut-off date was considered by the surveying and valuation consultant as the last day of the census of affected
people and properties, i.e. 10 February 2011. No structure or field established in the project-affected area after that
date would be eligible for compensation. The cut-off date after which no settlers or developers are eligible for
compensation was publicized among potentially affected people. This was explained during the census and valuation
exercise to all stakeholders in the area, including: Project-affected people, identified and individually surveyed, Parish
Land Committee (LC2 level), District Land Board (LC5 level), LC officials in which consultations were undertaken
The following categories are eligible for compensation:
� People who have been in the surveyed part of the proposed road reserve and working areas;
� Landlords owning land affected by the road;
� People whose structures are to be affected by the development;
� People who rent land for cultivation (sharecroppers) and their crops or trees are to be removed or damaged
due to land acquisition activities.
� Any other group of persons that has not been mentioned above but is entitled to compensation according to
the laws of Uganda and World Bank/Donor policies.
� Public or community facilities such as churches, schools and water sources.
10. Valuation of and Compensation of Assets
Section 78 of the Land Act (1988) prescribes valuation principles for compensation including compensation rates
which are approved by District Land Boards and are updated on yearly basis. Other requirements for assessment of
compensation of assets are provided under the Valuation Act 1965. A full census of affected persons and survey/
valuation of and their assets will was completed on the cut-off date by Surveying /Valuation Teams who worked with

P a g e | xiv
Local Councils, especially LC1 of affected villages and towns centres to verify identity of affected persons and their
physical assets including land sizes, crops, trees and buildings.
The basis of valuation for compensation purposes is provided in the Constitution of Republic of Uganda 1995 and the
Land Act 1998. The value of land and buildings is based on the market value, that is, the probable value the property
will fetch when offered for sale. Affected land was categorized as semi-urban, rural or dry land and hence different
rates applied for each category. Valuation rates used for affected land were “market values” based on evidence
obtained during property inspection and surveys. Most project-affected residential and commercial buildings are
constructed in permanent materials such as burnt clay bricks and iron roof sheets. However, valuation also
encountered many semi-permanent and temporary structures built in very low-cost materials such as timber.
Buildings and structures were valued on the basis of Replacement Cost Method to arrive at their market value.
District compensation rates were applied to derive compensation values for crops, fruit trees, flowers and shrubs
owned by PAPs. According to Uganda’s compensation regulations, annual crops which could be harvested during
the period of notice to vacate given to land landowners are excluded in determining compensation values.
Along Kigumba - Bulima (69 km) and Bulima - Kabwoya (66 km) sections to be funded by AfDB, the following assets
are to be affected and 17 strips of gardens of estimated area 16 acres.

12. Grievance Redress Mechanism
P a g e | xvii
Based on experience of earlier RSSP projects, most grievances will be related to property valuation. These are likely
to arise when households consider compensation values for their assets insufficient, especially when PAPs doubt if
valuation values do indeed provide replacement value or if PAPs misunderstood the compensation process and
believe they are entitled to additional compensation. Given this, UNRA will constitute a dedicated committee and
procedure to manage and close out grievances. While some grievances would be resolved by the committee, others
might not, such as when claimants contest compensation rates developed by District Land Boards. Inspite of the
grievance procedure, if, the aggrieved person is not satisfied with resolutions of the Grievance Committee at local
level/village, he/she will have the choice of resorting to courts of law.
12. Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring is essential to ensure that RAP implementation achieves desired results. A monitoring and evaluation
framework for RAP implementation has been developed to include a plan for monitoring and evaluation of
compensation packages with indicators for measuring performance, impacts and outcomes. This plan also provides
for reviews by stakeholders including AfDB. The Framework includes a review of financial disbursements,
compensation complaints and grievance redress, adherence to compensation payment schedule and support of
vulnerable PAPs. Monitoring will be both Internal monitoring by UNRA, and External evaluations by AfDB and other
national stakeholders. During resettlement, monitoring shall focus on resettlement issues such as:
� Number of families that have been compensated;
� Number of people who have acquired legal documents to new property,
� Number of business owners who have restored their businesses,
� Efficiency and effectiveness of grievance redress mechanism.
Post resettlement monitoring should focus on rehabilitation issues, for example:
� Success level of restoration of livelihoods
� Success level of restoration of assets
� Efficiency and effectiveness of grievance redress mechanism.
A review of regular progress reports produced by UNRA will be carried out by all stake holders both at national and
local levels including the AfDB. After completion of resettlement, a final report will be submitted by UNRA to AfDB
prior to preparation of the project implementation report. The report shall indicate effectiveness of project
implementation and disbursement of compensation payments, effectiveness of public involvement and socioeconomic
impacts of roadside communities. This report will give overall assessment of the RAP process indicating
activities undertaken, success of mitigation action and monitoring and well as useful lessons learnt.
A key aim of resettlement is to ensure compensation and other mitigation measures restore or enhance affected
people’s quality of life and income levels. If quality of life of PAPs can be demonstrated to have been restored, then
resettlement and compensation process can be considered “complete”. The purpose of Completion Audit will
therefore be to establish whether UNRA implemented all activities needed to ensure compliance with proposed
resettlement commitments and applicable national and AfDB requirements.

1.1 BACKGROUND
1 INTRODUCTION
P a g e | 1
Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) received funds from the Government of Uganda (GoU) and intends to
apply a portion of the proceeds towards the cost of The National Road Development and Maintenance Plan
(NRDMP). One of the gravel roads to be upgraded to bituminous standard is Kyenjojo – Hoima – Masindi – Kigumba.
African Development Bank (AfDB) will finance only Kigumba - Bulima (69 km) and Bulima - Kabwoya (66 km) section”.
Despite periodic maintenance, there is inadequate drainage and the road alignment needs to be improved. The
whole stretch lies in hilly and rolling terrain with dense forests in Kibaale district and parts of Hoima district. There are
2 bridges along this link: the Muzizi Bridge constructed from reinforced concrete and Nkusi Bridge which is more of a
Bailey bridge. The Hoima - Masindi link is 54 km that connects Hoima District to Masindi District. Some parts of this
link were also in fairly good condition following periodic maintenance while other parts were characterized by surface
corrugations, potholes, inadequate drainage and poor alignment. The Masindi - Kigumba link is 33 km that connects
Masindi Town to Kigumba Town Council. At Kigumba, the road connects to Kampala - Gulu Highway. This section
was in poor condition characterized by surface corrugations, potholes, inadequate drainage and poor alignment.
Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) contracted Mott MacDonald, a UK-based engineering consultancy firm in
association with Kagga & Partners (Ugandan) to carry out the feasibility studies, detailed design, tender document
preparations and project management for upgrading the road. Air Water Earth (AWE) LTD was contacted by the
consortium to undertake a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) to guide land acquisition for the project.
The road will no doubt play a major role in economic development of the project Districts by providing an essential
link to markets and social services, industry, health and education. While the upgrade will for most sections follow the
existing alignment, road widening will in some cases affect private land, permanent and semi-permanent residential
and commercial structures. The purpose of this RAP is to guide implementing of the impending resettlement and
ensure equitable compensation. The road and its reserve of 30 m (15 m on either side of its centerline) would affect
about 9005 property owners, with effects ranging from loss of strips of land adjoining the road and structures.
It is currently a policy of Uganda Government to have all road projects comply with national as well as donor
safeguard policies among whose requirements is a RAP. The goal of this RAP is therefore to minimize economic and
social impacts that would arise from involuntary resettlement such as:
� relocation or loss of shelter;
� loss of assets or inability to access to assets;
� loss of income sources and livelihood.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE RAP
This RAP was designed to provide guidance on how project-affected persons in the project-affected areas should be
equitably compensated and upon relocation, able to cope and lead a normal life as was previously lived or a better
one. The RAP is primarily for property and landowners adjoining the proposed road project.
Cadastral surveys and property valuation that informed this RAP were done with the aim to:
i) Delineate private land and properties to be affected,

P a g e | 2
ii) Compile an accurate list of the project-affected persons (that is, owners and land users having an interest in
the road reserve)
iii) Establish monetary worth of all immoveable assets, including structures (permanent or semi-permanent),
perennial and annual crops and trees within the road reserve.
In view of the foregoing, the main objectives of this RAP were to:
i) Prepare social profiles of PAPs through a social-economic survey.
ii) Ensure that the displaced people receive equitable compensation prior to their displacement.
iii) Raise awareness of the project and its consequences among affected communities.
iv) Carry out consultations with relevant stakeholders, including potentially affected persons and obtain their views
and suggestions regarding social impacts of the proposed project and measures to cover the losses. The results
of the consultations will be made available to all relevant stakeholders, including potentially affected persons
through RAP disclosure.
v) Determine the extent of the impacts due to involuntary resettlement associated with the land acquisition for
purposes of construction and alignment of the road, and put in place measures to mitigate those impacts. The
impacts here are to do with land acquisition and the accompanying losses or interruption of livelihoods of the
project affected people due to the construction activities related to the proposed roads, etc.
vi) Establish the actual compensation costs necessary for resettlement and quantify the land area to be acquired for
the road reserve.
vii) Prepare resettlement strategies including entitlement matrix and arrangements for implementation that would
mitigate adverse socio-economic impacts and grievances.
viii) Prepare strategies to mitigate adverse socio-economic impacts and possible grievances arising from
resettlement.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE RAP
The RAP will set the parameters and establish entitlements for project affected people (PAP), the institutional
framework, mechanisms for consultation and grievance resolution, the time schedule and the budget, and propose a
monitoring and evaluation system.
The package of agreed entitlements in the form of a matrix that will include both compensation and measures to
restore the economic and social base for those affected. It will address the requirements of the Government of
Uganda and the Policy of AfDB on Involuntary Resettlement. Therefore the RAP shall follow the policy of AfDB on
Involuntary Resettlement (2003) which requires that people who are adversely affected by project activities receive
compensation to the extent that their livelihoods and standard of living is restored to at least a pre-project level.
Similarly, the resettlement shall be carried out in line with requirements of the legal, policy and regulatory framework
of Uganda. However, where there are gaps, the policy of African Development Bank overrides in order to ensure that
the losses of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) are well addressed.
Therefore to achieve the objectives of the RAP, activities were limited to the following:
i) Identification persons or groups affected by the project either through destruction of buildings or crops or loss of
land and income.
ii) Consultation with project affected people (PAP) in each village along the road. The consultations sought to
involve PAPs in formulating ideal compensation and resettlement strategies.

P a g e | 3
iii) Identification of options for resettlement and compensation of project affected persons (PAPs), which according
to the legal requirements of Uganda Legal Legislation and are consistent with the relevant policies of UNRA and
the African Development Bank
iv) Review of Uganda legislation and guidelines on land acquisition, compensation and development of
infrastructure projects.
v) Census of property owners to be affected by the road project and property valuation.
vi) Socio-economic survey on a representative sample of affected households to obtain a social profile of affected
persons. The survey aimed at establishing a baseline against which effectiveness of resettlement assistance
could be measured. It was based on a comprehensive socio-data questionnaire (Annex 3) and covered the
following:
� information on family/ household members
� household land holdings and assets
� livelihood in affected households
� health & vulnerability
� welfare indicators
� expenditure patterns
vii) Preparation of a resettlement action plan (RAP) comprising of an entitlement matrix with impact categories.
Compensation and assistance for resettlement were based on the premise that lives of the affected people
should not be worse than before displacement.
viii) Arrangements for implementation providing guidance on proper implementation of the RAP including
institutional arrangements; implementation timeframe and compensation budget derived from property
valuation.
ix) Consultation and participation of affected communities were undertaken throughout preparation of the RAP
and their feedback incorporated in designing resettlement strategies.
x) Developing a grievance redress mechanism.
xi) Developing a monitoring, evaluation and completion audit framework.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
2 SURVEYING AND VALUATION METHODOLOGY
P a g e | 4
The RAP was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Affected households and property were
determined from the road survey and a census of PAPs. Social data of affected persons was obtained from
interviews, meetings and questionnaires. Property surveying and valuation entailed inspection and referencing of
land and buildings. Crops (including fruit and timber trees) were counted and their value established basing on
compensation rates of respective District Local Governments. Sections below provide the methodology used.
2.2 APPROACH FOR SOCIAL SURVEY
A social survey was conducted to establish the social profile of the project affected people and project area in
accordance with Ugandan requirements for involuntary resettlement. Information obtained from the social survey was
used to analyze poverty and welfare indicators in households, social-economic needs and impact on livelihoods of
affected people if the project is implemented as proposed. Broadly, site-specific data gathered from the survey
comprised of three main categories: population and demographics; landownership and land use; businesses and
socio-cultural resources. Among other things, ethnicity, gender, health, household income levels and sources were
captured in the social survey. These categories and respective survey criteria are presented in Box 1.

c) Businesses (restaurants, video halls, eateries, bars, etc)
d) Income from agriculture and value of agricultural land
e) Views of project-affected people
f) Expenditure patterns in households
2.3 SOCIAL SURVEY
2.3.1 Criteria for Identifying PAPs
The criteria for identifying the project-affected people (PAP) was that everybody whose property (land, building,
crops) is affected in part or whole by widening the road, would be eligible for compensation. These PAPs were

P a g e | 5
identified by the cadastral surveying team and through follow-up surveys and were included in the census.
Employees and tenants were to be established at the stage of disclosing individual household entitlements.
Prior to undertaking the detailed social survey, sensitization meetings were held in each village along the road to
disclose and explain the forthcoming RAP study, explain the valuation process and how it is conducted according to
Ugandan guidelines. These meetings were conducted by social survey teams and a representative of the property
valuation consultant. In the meetings, the project planning schedule was disclosed, cut-off for eligibility explained,
rights of PAPs and grievance procedures outlined.
All meetings were chaired by either the village’s Local Council (LC1) chairperson or LC 3 Council member
(Councillor). These meetings aimed to create awareness about upcoming RAP, quell any apprehensions PAPs might
have about resettlement hence, enabling them to provide true household and personal information during the social
survey.
2.3.2 Fieldwork, Socio-survey and Data Analysis Tools
To develop a social profile of PAPs, a structured questionnaire (Annex 3) was administered for a representative
sample of 40% of all affected people. Prior to administering the questionnaire to each PAP, its content was explained
and purpose of requested information carefully explained. Social data collected in the questionnaires was cleaned
up, coded, entered in a database then analyzed using SPSS 1 microcomputer package.
2.3.3 Census and Property Valuation
The census was conducted by AWE and findings compiled into a MS Access database, linked with the property
valuation data. Property census and valuation was conducted by Associated Engineering (AES).
Census entailed enumeration of all project affected persons and their household members and dependants. The
census was conducted all along the road between 1 st October 2010- 9 th February 2011.
2.4 VALUATION OF PROPERTY
Valuation of property, the results of which fed into the RAP, was executed by an independent chartered surveying
and valuation firm based on prevailing market prices. Property valuation and census were conducted.
2.4.1 Topographical and Cadastral Surveys
Land of all the people was surveyed and mapped indicating respective tenure systems. Customary land tenants and
registered proprietors were recorded and a strip map produced. Survey beacons were placed at locations where the
cadastral lines cross the road alignment. This information is presented on a strip map of the road showing the
position of the proposed works on the existing cadastral maps. No land title deed mutations were signed as the
registered proprietors can only sign after compensation. Based on this, acreage of land affected for both the
registered plots and customary interests were calculated and a property valuer determined the commensurate
compensation values for each affected property.
2.4.2 Inspection, Referencing and Valuation
Data collected covered registered land, bibanja holdings, permanent- and semi-permanent structures, crops and
economic trees.
1 SPSS: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.

P a g e | 6
This data was entered on the compensation assessment forms. Enumeration of crops and trees and referencing of
property was witnessed by property owners or their representatives and area local council leaders (LCI officials). This
ensured that all queries associated with ownership, quantity of items and sizes of land are accurately documented.
The land surveyors provided acreage of affected land which was used by property valuers to establish
commensurate compensation conforming to Uganda Government laws.
2.4.3 Basis of Valuation
The basis of valuation for compensation purposes is provided in the Constitution of Republic of Uganda 1995 and the
Land Act 1998. The value of land and buildings is based on the market value, that is, the probable value the property
will fetch when offered for sale. In arriving at market values, it was assumed that:
� The owner is a willing seller,
� Prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the
property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the interest, for the agreement of price and
the completion of the sale,
� The state of the market, level of values and other circumstances were, on any earlier assumed date of
exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of valuation,
� No account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective purchaser with a special interest,
� Both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without coercion.
2.4.4 Derivation of Compensation Rates
a) Land
Wherever available, recent agreements of sale of physical property (land and buildings) were reviewed during
surveys. This information provided insight into purchase prices that were prevailing in the project area at that time.
These values were analyzed and adjusted before use because of the heterogeneity of land parcels to which they
were applied to determine the market value.
Affected land was categorized as semi-urban, rural or dry land and hence different rates applied for each category.
Valuation rates used for affected land were “market values” based on evidence obtained during property inspection
and surveys.
b) Buildings and structures
Most project-affected residential and commercial buildings are constructed in permanent materials such as burnt clay
bricks and iron roof sheets. However, valuation also encountered many semi-permanent and temporary structures
built in very low-cost materials such as timber. Buildings and structures were valued on the basis of Replacement
Cost Method to arrive at their market value. African Development Bank stipulates that depreciation of an asset and
value derived from salvaging materials from razed structures should not be discounted when deriving replacement
cost. Additionally AfDB policy on resettlement requires replacement value to include cost of materials transport to
site, labour costs and any transfer fees or taxes involved in replacing an asset.

P a g e | 7
For rented commercial properties, Investment Method 1 of valuation was used and necessary adjustments made to
derive the final value. For PAPs losing businesses, production or rental income occasioned by loss of commercial
structures, additional compensation of 6% was allowed on top of the value of affected building. This additional value
was estimated sufficient to cover loss of sales over the time replacement buildings would be reconstructed. Semipermanent
and temporary structures including pit-latrines were valued using District compensation rates. In both
cases, the design, standard of construction, fittings, finishes and general condition of repair were taken into
consideration in arriving at property values.
c) Crops
District compensation rates were applied to derive compensation values for crops, fruit trees, flowers and shrubs
owned by project-affected persons. According to Ugandan compensation regulations, annual crops which could be
harvested during the period of notice to vacate given to land landowners/ occupiers are excluded in determining
compensation values. The valuation rates for crops takes into account the possible income generated from crops.
2.4.5 Assumptions and Limitations of Valuation
The following assumptions and limitations were encountered during property valuation:
i) Bibanja owners on Mailo land have legal ownership rights as provided for by Ugandan law. An
apportionment of land value of 60% and 40% share of the market value was given to the landlord and
bibanja owners respectively, depending on developments invested on the affected land. For example, a
kibanja owner who has a permanent structure such as a house or perennial crops is entitled to a 60% share
of the compensation value while a person with only temporary structures or annual (seasonal) crops is only
entitled to 40%. This is generally adequate for replacement value, and if a new kibanja ownership
agreement was to be sought on a new piece of land, it would cost the same 60/40 split applied depending
on the temporal permanency of developments thereof.
ii) Acreage of kibanja holdings provided by the land surveyors represents the actual physical land taken from
each kibanja owner.
iii) The acreage on "Private Mailo' titles are assumed to be the correct record as entered in the Lands and
Surveys Department Registry.
iv) The compensation assessed is for land and property as they existed at the time of inspection and valuation.
Subsequent developments and structural improvements after the cut-off date will not be considered for
compensation purposes.
v) The property owners expect to be given a 3-month “notice to vacate”, hence a 30% statutory disturbance
allowance has been provided in property values.
vi) Buildings which only have portions damaged are assessed as wholly affected and necessitating full
compensation.
vii) Incomplete buildings and structures were valued in their existing (“as is”) state.
viii) Where private Mailo land owners could not be identified or verified due to lack of records in Central Lands
Registry, the valuer assessed value of the land taken against the Plot Numbers on cadastral maps.
Details of valuation assessment of every owner/claimants property are presented in a separate Valuation Report.
1 “Investment Method”was used for commercial (and residential) property that is producing future cash flows through letting or renting. The method derives market value of a subject
property by reference to observed recent transactions of similar properties in the same area. Note that this method is really a comparison method, since the main variables are
determined in the market.

2.5 STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS
2.5.1 Introduction
A “stakeholder” can be defined as:
Any individual, group, or institution with a vested interest in the natural resources of the project area and/or
who potentially will be affected by project activities and have something to gain or lose if conditions change
or stay the same 1 .
P a g e | 8
Stakeholders are all those who need to be considered in achieving project goals and whose participation and support
are crucial to its success. Stakeholder analysis identifies all primary and secondary stakeholders who have a vested
interest in the project. It is a process of systematically gathering and analyzing qualitative information to determine
whose interests should be taken into account when developing and implementing a project. The analysis includes
characteristics of stakeholders such as knowledge of the project, interests related to the project, position for or
against the project, potential alliances with other stakeholders, and ability to affect the project process (through power
and/or leadership).
A stakeholder analysis will help the road project to identify:
a) Interests of all stakeholders who may affect or be affected by the programme/project;
b) Potential conflicts or risks that could jeopardize the project;
c) Opportunities and relationships that can be built on during implementation;
d) Groups that should be encouraged to participate in different stages of the project;
e) Appropriate strategies and approaches for stakeholder engagement; and
f) Ways to reduce negative impacts on vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
Three essential steps utilized 2 in stakeholder analysis were:
� Identifying key stakeholders and their interests (positive or negative) in the project;
� Assessing influence, importance and level of impact upon each stakeholder;
� Identifying how best to engage stakeholders.
2.5.2 Identification of Key Stakeholders and their Interests
Identification of different groups of stakeholders started with investigating specific threat and opportunity factors and
developing a list of associated key stakeholders. This was based on key questions indicated below:
� Who will benefit or be affected by the road project?
� Who are the key players in the development and implementation of the road project?
� What key resources will be impacted?
� Who is most dependent on these resources?
� Who possesses claims on resources to be affected – including legal jurisdiction and customary use?
� Are several government sectors and ministry departments involved?
� Are there any national and/or international bodies involved either as funding agencies or because of specific
laws or treaties?
1 Golder. B, Gawler. M, 2005: Cross-Cutting Tool: Stakeholder Analysis, WWF (USA).
2 Ibid

P a g e | 9
� Which agencies license certain aspects of the road project or are most knowledgeable about, and capable
of dealing with project impacts or resources to be affected (forestry, wetlands, wildlife areas)? Who is
managing these resources?
� Are there major events or trends currently affecting the stakeholders (for example, development initiatives,
migration, and population growth).
Key stakeholders identified are presented in Table 2.1.
2.5.3 Interests, Influence & Importance of Stakeholders
To assess influence and importance of each stakeholder and the potential impact of the project upon each
stakeholder, key issues investigated included:
� Who is directly responsible for decisions on issues important to the project?
� Who holds positions of responsibility in interested organizations?
� Who is influential in the project area (both thematic and geographic areas)?
� Who will be affected by the project?
� Who will promote or support the project, provided that they are involved?
� Who will obstruct or hinder the project if they are not involved?
� Who has been involved in the area (thematic or geographic) in the past?
� Who has not been involved up to now but should have been?
To assess influence, importance and level of impact upon each stakeholder – a simple grid, presented in Table 2.1,
was used for developing strategies on how different types of stakeholders might be engaged. The grid was utilized to
organize stakeholders according to their likely influence over decisions to be made, and likely impact of project
decisions upon them.
Issues below were useful when considering where stakeholders sit on the Influence/Impact analysis quadrant:
� Are they likely to influence success or failure of the proposed road project?
� What is their relationship with the project?
Analysis of final influence is presented in Figure 2.1.
2.5.4 Engagement of Stakeholders
Finally, the third step involved determining how to involve the different stakeholders identified. It was evident that
different types of stakeholders would be engaged in different ways at the various stages of the road project, from
gathering and giving information, to consultation and dialogue. For some aspects of project implementation like
HIV/AIDS awareness, NGOs such as those engaged in related activities should be engaged by UNRA during road
construction. The avenues for stakeholder engagement include:
a) Consultation meetings
Discussions were organized with various people and stakeholders along the road to verify general perspective of
stakeholders. The people consulted included Local Council (LC) officials, opinion leaders and NGOs.

P a g e | 10
Consultations aimed to inform people about the project, explain RAP process, and seek views on valuation and
compensation criteria as well as possible impact mitigation recommendations. Also discussed were gender-specifics
benefits, vulnerable people, income restoration and replacement cost for lost property.
b) Survey interviews
Interviews and discussions were held with boda-boda cyclists, commuter omnibus and taxi operators who operate on
the various sections of the road. Most transporters were concerned about the future of their operations in case the
new road design removed existing bus stops. Discussions were also held along the road and key questions received
were about criteria for compensation of affected assets. Criteria as provided by Uganda government was explained
as well as additional resettlement requirements required by African Development Bank such as income restoration
and assistance to vulnerable people identified during resettlement process. Women predicted the possibility of
domestic violence resulting from compensation, if men deny family fair access to resettlement payments and benefits
or squander it on multiple new marriages. Although solution to this is provided in the Land Act where spouses must
consent to and witness compensation due to the household, local leaders were encouraged to take active role in
grievances management to avoid domestic violence.
During consultations conducted between September 22, 2010 and January 2011, above stakeholders expressed
support for the road project and willingness to participate if their involvement, as either witnesses or monitors, is
sought in RAP implementation. However, a key factor indicated to influence this involvement was financial facilitation
from the implementation agency (UNRA).
All RAP implementation agencies would report to UNRA, which has the technical and institutional capacity to
coordinate and supervise implementation of the RAP. Entities involved in RAP implementation have that mandate;
some like lower local administrations (Local Councils- LC I, III) to be involved in monitoring activities will need
financial facilitation for travel and lunch allowances. These costs have been provided for in the RAP implementation
budget under “monitoring & evaluation.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ADJUSTMENTS TO MINIMIZE IMPACTS
3.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The road section to be funded by AfDB (Figure 3.1) is Kigumba - Bulima (69 km) and Bulima - Kabwoya (66 km)
in Western Uganda. This stretch is part of the entire road from Kyenjojo to Kigumba through the Districts of
Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo. The entire road is subdivided into three links: Kyenjojo–Hoima
(150.5 km), Hoima-Masindi (54 km) and Masindi – Kigumba (33 km).
The proposed project road is categorized as a Class II bitumen road and will have a road reserve of 30 m in rural
areas and 20 m in urban areas including trading centres. Kyenjojo - Hoima section passes through Kibaale
District and this stretch lies in hilly and rolling terrain with dense forest reserves in Kibaale district and parts of
Hoima district. There are two bridges along this link: Muzizi Bridge constructed from reinforced concrete and
Nkusi Bridge which is a Bailey bridge. Various trading centres along the road are indicated in Table 3.1.

The existing road has uneven width varying between 3.0 and 7.0 m and the ground material on the road varies
between laterite gravel and a mixture of laterite and sand with rock outcrops at various points. Geometrical
alignment of existing road is sub-standard, drainage inadequate and the running surface poorly maintained in
most areas. The existing geometrical elements include:
� Inconsistent road alignment due to difficult terrain
� Inadequate cross-falls and super- elevations
� Poor visibility splays
� Inconsistent traffic speeds, costly and unreliable journey times.

The proposed upgrade has three objectives:
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 30
� Provide a strategic link between the northern corridor (specifically south western Uganda, Rwanda and
Burundi and eastern DRC) and the Kampala-Gulu-Juba corridor.
� Provide a high standard road for the expected increase in transport of oil and refined products from
Masindi to Hoima and from Hoima to Kyenjojo.
� Improve access to markets, social and health services and employment possibilities for residents within
the zone of influence of the proposed road.
3.2 PROJECT AREA OF INFLUENCE
The area of influence denotes the zone which will be most affected by the project. To understand potential
impacts and design appropriate mitigation measures, the areas under project’s zone of influence (zoi) have been
mapped. The zone of influence is that area which will receive primary impacts resulting from project activities.
Width of a corridor to be studied depends on legal requirements and the predicted extent of the impacts identified

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 31
during the project scoping. Corridor widths range from 100 m to 10 km for green-field (or new) roads 1 . The study
considered a 2-km direct impact area/ zone of influence for primary impacts. However, secondary impacts could
take on a wider spatial local, national or even regional extent. The 2-km impact zone of influence was considered
for this project based on the most probable extent of direct impacts especially during the construction phase,
namely: accidents, dust plumes, noise, sources of construction labour and social effects, for example influx of
people seeking construction jobs. The proposed road project is shown in Figures 3.2.

4 LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
P a g e | 32
Uganda Government requires that compensation is paid to affected entities if a project would damage structures
and other property, or take private land. The same requirement is also articulated by policies of the African
Development Bank (the funding agency of this project), key of which in regard to this RAP is the Policy on
Involuntary Resettlement (2003). Sections below discuss the legal and institutional set up governing this RAP.
The legal section summarises entities, laws and regulations relating to implementation of resettlement activities
and legal set up associated with effective implementation of the RAP including recognition the claim to land
rights under various tenure systems. The institutional section provides arrangements, resources and inter-agency
cooperation necessary to implement this RAP. The RAP will be implemented by UNRA and the institutional
section therefore evaluates the capacity of this agency
4.1 LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Land take refers to acquiring of land for some public purpose by government agency, as authorised by the law
from land owner(s) after paying compensation for losses incurred by land owner(s) due to surrendering their
land. For land take and displacement of people, specific attention is drawn to two Ugandan laws that will be
applicable to land tenure, compensation and resettlement in this project, namely:
� The Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995
� The Land Act, Cap 227
4.1.1 The Constitution of the Republic of Uganda (1995)
This gives government and local authorities a statutory power of compulsory acquisition of land in public interest
and makes provision; inter alia, for “prompt payment of fair and adequate compensation” prior to the taking of
possession of any privately-owned property.
Such compensation is assessed in accordance with the valuation principles laid out in Section 78 of the Land Act
(Cap 227), briefly outlined below:
� The value for customary land is the open market value of unimproved land;
� The value of buildings on the land is taken at open market value for urban areas, and depreciated
replacement cost for rural areas;
� The value of standing crops on the land is determined in accordance with the district compensation
rates established by respective District Land Board. Annual crops which could be harvested during the
period of notice to vacate given to the landowner or occupier of the land are excluded in determining
compensation values;
� In addition to the total compensation assessed, there is a disturbance allowance paid of 15% or, if less
than six months’ notice to vacate is given, 30% of the total sum assessed.
4.1.2 The Land Act, Cap 227
This addresses four issues namely; holding, control, management and land disputes. In regard to tenure, the Act
repeats (in Section 3) provisions of Article 237 of the Constitution which vests all land ownership in the citizens of
Uganda, to be held under customary, freehold, mailo or leasehold tenure systems. However, the Land Act
provides for acquisition of land or rights to use land for execution of public works.

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 33
Regarding control of land, the Act reaffirms the statutory power of compulsory acquisition conferred on the
government and local authorities under articles 26 (2) and 237(2) (a) of the Constitution (Section 43). Since the
Act does not repeal the Land Acquisition Act No. 14 of 1965, it is assumed that this legislation, meets
requirements of Article 26(2) of the Constitution that requires a law to be in place for payment of compensation
and access to courts. The Act also requires that landowners manage and utilize land in accordance with
regulatory land use planning (Sections 44 and 46).
Section 77(2) of the revised edition (2000) of the Land Act 1998 provides for a disturbance allowance on top of
the computed compensation amount as shown below:
� 30% of compensation amount if quit notice is given within 6 months.
� 15% of compensation amount if quit notice is given after 6 months.
The foregoing laws form the basis of compensation requirements necessary to fulfil Uganda’s regulatory
requirements.
4.1.3 The Local Government Act (1997)
Local Government Act 1997 provides for a system of Local Governments based on the District. Under the District
there are lower Local Governments and administrative units. This system provides for elected Councils whereby
chairmen nominate the executive committee of each council, functions of which include:
� Initiating and formulating policy for approval by council;
� Overseeing the implementation of Government and Council policies, and monitoring and coordinating
activities of Non-Government Organizations in the district; and
� Receiving and solving disputes forwarded to it from lower local governments.
Because local leaders participate in above roles and will be crucial not only during compensation process but
also project implementation, this law is important.
4.1.4 Land Acquisition Act (1965)
This Act makes provision for procedures and method of compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes
whether for temporary or permanent use. The Minister responsible for land may authorize any person to enter
upon the land, survey the land, dig or bore the subsoil or any other actions necessary for ascertaining whether
the land is suitable for a given public purpose. However, compensation should be paid to any person who suffers
damage as a result of such actions.
The Land Acquisition Act stops at payment of compensation to the affected people. In Uganda, it is not a legal
requirement for a project to purchase alternative land for affected people. Once affected people are promptly and
adequately compensated, the project proponent’s obligations stop at this extent and there is no legal requirement
that people should be moved or provided with alternative land. In Ugandan legal context, once people are
compensated, they are expected to vacate affected properties without further claim.
4.1.5 The Access to Roads Act (1965)
This Act seeks that a private landowner who has no reasonable means of access to public highway may apply
for leave to construct a road of access to a public highway. This law also establishes a mechanism of applying
for such access. It also establishes a legal regime to ensure the safety of the neighbouring environment.
The Act permits an owner of land who is unable through negotiations to obtain leave from adjoining land owners
to construct a road of access to the public highway, to apply to a magistrate for leave to construct a road of

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 34
access over any land lying between his land and the public highway. This law also provides for means by which
an order for the construction of an access road can be revoked.
The Act further provides for maintenance of the access road in a good and efficient state of repair, and for
payment of compensation in respect of the use of the land, the destruction of crops of trees and such other
property. This law may be invoked by property owners who may be cut off from the new road in places where
alignment of existing road is changed from original location.
4.1.6 The Roads Act (1964)
The Roads Act of 1964 is a critical piece of legislation with respect to road development projects in Uganda. It
defines a road reserve as that area bounded by imaginary lines parallel to and not more than fifty feet distant
from the centerline of any road. The Act prohibits erection of buildings or planting permanent crops within a road
reserve.
The Minister or, with the consent of the Minister, a District Commissioner (currently referred to as “Chief
Administrative Officer”), in relation to any road within or passing through any government town or an
administrator in respect of any area not being in a government town, may by order: -
� Prescribe the line in which buildings shall be erected in such town or area, or;
� Prescribe distance from the centre of the road within, which no building shall be erected in such town or
area.
The road authority is required to give written notice to the owner or occupier of land on which prohibited activities
have been carried out so as:
� To pull down or remove the building or structures; or
� To cut down or uproot trees or crops;
The Act allows the road authority to dig and take away materials required for construction and maintenance of
roads in any part of a road reserve approved by the local government authority without payment to any person.
For the forgoing reasons, this law is relevant to the proposed project.
4.1.7 Land Tenure Regimes and Transfer of Land
Article 237 of the Constitution, 1995, vests land ownership in the citizens of Uganda and identifies four land
tenure systems, namely: customary; freehold; mailo; and leasehold. The incidents of these systems are detailed
under Section 4 of the Land Act (Cap 227). Those relevant to the road project are:
� This tenure is governed by rules generally accepted as binding and authoritative by the class of persons
to which it applies. In other words customary regime is not governed by written law.
� Land is owned in perpetuity.
� Customary occupants occupy former public land, and occupy land by virtue of their customary rights;
they have proprietary interest in the land and are entitled to certificates of customary ownership which
may be acquired through application to the Parish Land Committee and eventual issuance by the
District Land Board.
4.1.7.2 Freehold tenure
� This tenure derives its legality from the Constitution of Uganda and its incidents from the written law.
� It involves holding land in perpetuity or for a period less than perpetuity fixed by a condition.

� It enables the holder to exercise, subject to the law, full powers of ownership.
4.1.8 Leasehold tenure
This tenure system is:
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 35
� Created either by contract or by operation of the law;
� A form under which the landlord of lessor grants the tenant or lessee exclusive possession of the land,
usually for a period defined and in return for a rent;
� The tenant has security of tenure and a proprietary interest in the land.
Although only these latter forms of tenure are legally defined under the Land Act, the context of common law also
recognizes the statute of “Licensee” or “Sharecroppers”, these terms having similar meanings in practice.
Licensees are persons granted authority to use land within for agricultural production. Traditionally, such
production would be limited to annual crops. Licensees have no legal security of tenure or any propriety right in
the land. Their tenure is purely contractual.
4.1.9 Right of spouse and children
The rights of spouse and children are protected under the Constitution of Uganda and the Land Act (Cap 227).
The consent of spouse and children must be acquired prior to any transaction by the head of household on land
on which the family ordinarily resides.
Section 40 of the Land Act, 1998 requires that no person shall:
a. Sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, mortgage or lease any land; or enter into any contract for the sale,
exchange, transfer, pledge, mortgage or lease of any land;
b. Give away any land inter vivos, or enter into any transaction in respect of land:
� In the case of land on which the person ordinarily resides with his or her spouse, and from which
they derive their sustenance, except with the prior written consent of the spouse;
� In the case of land on which the person ordinarily resides with his or her dependent children of
majority age, except with the prior written consent of the dependent children of majority age;
� In the case of land on which the person ordinarily resides with his or her dependent children
below the majority age, except with the prior written consent of the Committee 1 ;
� In the case of land on which ordinarily reside orphans below majority age with interest in
inheritance of the land, except with prior written consent of the Committee.
4.1.10 Local Governments Act, Cap 243
This Act provides for decentralized governance and devolution of central government functions, powers and
services to local governments that have own political and administrative set-ups. Districts have powers to
oversee implementation of development activities. They also have units such as District Land Tribunals
responsible for solving complaints that arise from land acquisition valuations and compensation payments.
According to Section 9 of the Act, a local government is the highest political and administrative authority in its
area of jurisdiction and shall exercise both legislative and executive powers in accordance with the Constitution.
1 “Committees” are defined under Section 65 of the Land Act ; they are Parish Land Committees.

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 36
District Local Governments, through which the road passes, namely: Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and
Kiryandongo will be key stakeholders in RAP implementation and monitoring.
4.1.11 The Persons with Disability Act, (2006)
The Government published its National Policy on Disability in February, 2006. It states that “four in every 25
persons in Uganda are persons with disabilities”. Thus, the disability fraternity appreciates that by enacting the
disability policy and other relevant pieces of legislation, the government of Uganda is fulfilling its constitutional
obligation of addressing the plight of people with disabilities (NUDIPU, 2007).
The strategic objective of this policy is "promoting equal opportunities and enhanced empowerment, participation
and protection of rights of persons with disabilities (PWDs) irrespective of gender, age and type of disability".
Article 16 recognizes the rights of persons with disability and states that the "Society and the State shall
recognize the right of persons with disability to respect and human dignity". This law is relevant to the proposed
project and the proposed road should have provision that allows access and movement of pedestrians, including
persons with disabilities.
4.2 REQUIREMENTS OF AfDB
4.2.1 Requirements of AfDB
The proposed road project will trigger the AfDB “Involuntary Resettlement” policy in so far as road upgrade will
involve involuntary land acquisition. The AfDB’s involuntary resettlement policy of 2003 stipulates and considers
among other things;
“a category of displaced persons who have no recognisable legal right or claim to the land they are
occupying in the project area will be entitled to resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for land.
Nevertheless at the minimum, under the bank’s policy (with no contradiction to the borrower’s
legislation), land, housing and infrastructure will be provided to the adversely affected population,
including indigenous groups, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, and pastoralists who may have
usufruct rights to the land or other resources taken for the project”.
The primary goal of the involuntary resettlement policy therefore is to ensure that displaced people are treated
equitably, and that they share in the benefits of the project that involves their resettlement. The objectives of the
policy are to ensure that the disruption of the livelihood of people in the project’s area is minimized, ensure that
the displaced persons receive resettlement assistance so as to improve their living standards.
The bank puts people at the centre of development. Hence in all operations the Bank pays a close attention to
projects that may result in the displacement and resettlement of people, particularly when they are the
disadvantaged group such as elderly and children, female headed households, the poorest and the marginalized
communities. The involuntary policy therefore helps to further reinforce the bank’s vision of which poverty
reduction is an overarching objective.
AfDB has several safeguard policies applicable to the project, namely:
1. Involuntary Resettlement Policy, 2003,
2. Policy and Guidelines on Cooperation with Civil Society Organizations 1999;
3. African Development Bank Group Policy on the Disclosure of Information, 2005;
4. The Gender Policy, 2001;
5. Environmental and Social Assessment Procedures for Public Sector Operations 2001;
6. African Development Bank Group’s Policy on the Environment, 2004.

Only policies 1, 2 and 3 apply to this resettlement study and these are discussed below.
i) AfDB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 2003
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 37
The primary goal of the involuntary resettlement policy is to ensure that when people must be displaced they are
treated equitably, and that they share in the benefits of the project that involves their resettlement. The objectives
of the policy are to ensure that the disruption of the livelihood of people in the project’s area is minimized, ensure
that the displaced persons receive resettlement assistance so as to improve their living standards, provide
explicit guidance to Bank staff and to borrowers, and set up a mechanism for monitoring the performance of the
resettlement programs. Most importantly, the resettlement plan should be prepared based on a development
approach that addresses issues of livelihood and living standards of displaced persons as well as compensation
for loss of assets, using a participatory approach at all stages of project design and implementation.
Compensation at the full replacement cost for loss of lands and other assets should be paid prior to projects
implementation with the view to improve the former living standards, income earning capacity and production
levels of the affected population. The improvement of these living standards should also apply to host
communities. In addition, the needs of disadvantaged groups (landless, female headed households, children,
elderly, minority ethnic, religious and linguistic groups, etc.) must be at the centre of the development approach.
Resettlement associated with the proposed road project has been addressed in a separate document- the
Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
It is expected that most affected home owners would have some land to reconstruct their dwellings a little back
from affected locations. Conversely, due to linear settlement pattern along roads and small size of commercial
land parcels (plots) in towns and trading centres, this may not always be possible and affected persons would
have to relocate to new plot of land but still within town. There is thus little possibility that a large population of
PAPs would be relocated to an entirely new host community.
ii) AfDB’s Policy and Guidelines on Cooperation with Civil Society Organizations 1999
Civil society organisations (CSOs) extend beyond NGOs to encompass people's organizations, trade unions,
human rights bodies, religious groups, community-based organizations, policy advocacy bodies, associations of
business and professional people. The African Development Bank has recognized the importance of such
organizations in achieving sustainable development. In its 1999 Vision statement and elsewhere, the Bank has
clearly stated its commitment to participatory practices and constructive engagement with civil society as
responsible and promising ways forward. The Bank, in pursuing its development goals and objectives, will draw
on the knowledge, contacts, experience, and delivery capacity of individual CSOs and networks. Where they
possess necessary skills and experience, CSOs may be involved as volunteers or as contracted agents.
Effective CSO participation, starting in the ‘up-stream’ stages is expected throughout the project cycle.
The bank puts people at the centre of development. Hence in all operations the Bank pays a close attention to
projects that may result in the displacement and resettlement of people, particularly when they are the
disadvantaged group such as elderly and children, female headed households, the poorest and the marginalized
communities. AfDB policy seeks to promote participation of affected people in resettlement planning and
implementation, and its key economic objective is to assist displaced persons in their efforts to improve or at
least restore their incomes and standards of living after displacement. This policy aims to avoid involuntary
resettlement to the extent feasible, or to minimize its adverse social and economic impacts.
iii) AfDB’s Policy on Disclosure of Information, 2005
In December, 1997, the Boards of Directors approved a policy for Public Disclosure of Information which
established the procedures and the types of information for disclosure in the absence of compelling reasons for
confidentiality. The Bank Group’s Policy on Disclosure of Information became effective in 1998. The policy was
based on the principle that the Bank Group should be open and transparent in its operations. The main lessons
from the implementation of the 1997 policy is that many institutions, civil groups and individuals have come to
understand, appreciate and get involved in the work of the Bank Group. There has also been increased demand

for disclosure of Bank Group documents and information on its activities. This RAP report prepared for the
proposed project has been disclosed as shown in Annex 7.
4.3 INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The main actors to be involved in carrying out resettlement and/or compensation as required in the upgrading of
the road are discussed in the sub-sections below while their roles are outlined in Table 4.1.
4.3.1 Ministry of Works and Transport
Government of Uganda and development partners requires preparation of a Resettlement Action Plan for road
development projects. This is done to ensure equitable compensation and minimize social disruptions or
negative effects on people’s livelihoods arising from construction of roads. Compensations assist PAPs to
restore their livelihood. During RAP implementation, MoWT would mainly be involved in supervision and ensuring
compliance with policies of the transport sub-sector.
4.3.2 Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development
The Chief Government Valuer in the Valuation Division in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is
responsible for approving the Valuation Roll. This demands fair and transparent compensation and as such all
property valued are first inspected by the Chief Government Valuer. Chief Government Valuer’s office is also
involved in resolving public complaints that arise from valuation for land acquisition and compensation payments.
4.3.3 Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA)
This RAP will be implemented by UNRA in conjunction with respective district local governments (Kyenjojo,
Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo Districts and village-level local councils) and key implementation
processes will include: (a) payment of compensation to affected people; (b) rehabilitation assistance to
vulnerable people identified in this RAP or by local leaders/RAP implementation unit; (c) possible jobs as
employees on the road rehabilitation project; (d) monitoring and evaluation.
The overall implementation responsibility will be of UNRA through the Resident Engineer and appointed
consultant. UNRA will ensure that PAPs have adequate time to replace their assets and will work with such
affected persons to ensure they are able to achieve this before expiry of notice to vacate their affected
properties. UNRA will make available financial resources necessary to meet compensation and resettlement
costs, as well as additional actions necessary to satisfy AfDB guidelines.
4.3.4 District Local Governments
All the districts traversed by the road (Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo), like all other Uganda
districts, have five levels of local councils (LCs), namely: District, County, Sub-county, Parish and Village these
are referred to as LC5, LC4, LC3, LC2 and LC1 respectively. Local Councils are responsible for local policy
matters, economic development, resolving local conflicts and providing orderly leadership and democratic
practices at the grass roots level in their respective areas. The system has facilitated mass participation in
government affairs and awakened the rural population to their rights of citizenship and obligations particularly
regarding involvement in development programs and projects. In the project-affected area LC1s and LC3s are
very active and directly interact with the affected population. These councils will thus be helpful during the
identification of rightful property owners and resolving compensation grievances.
4.3.5 District Land Boards
District Land Boards set compensation rates for crop and semi-permanent structures. Therefore it is often
important that RAP implementation involves participation of district land boards. In this regard, Kyenjojo, Kibaale,

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 39
Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandongo district land boards will have roles of overseeing appropriation of district land;
facilitating registration and transfer of interests in land.
Note that in performance of its functions, district land boards are independent of the Uganda Land Commission
but takes into account national and district council policy on land.
4.3.6 Uganda Land Commission
The Uganda Land Commission holds and manages land in Uganda vested in or acquired by Government of
Uganda and would be involved where such land is affected by the proposed road project.
4.3.7 Private Sector Entities
RAP implementation will entail involvement of private sector consultants hired by UNRA for verification and
actual payment of compensation to PAPs. These entities are not known at this time since they will be hired
through competitive bidding as per Uganda’s procurement laws.
All foregoing institutions are considered to have sufficient skills to undertake their respective tasks, which for
government ministries/ agencies are within their mandate. LCs however would need facilitation to enable their
active participation in project activities.
4.3.8 National Forestry Authority, NFA
All gazetted forests in Uganda are managed by NFA and Sector (District) Offices of this institution will be
stakeholders if any loss of trees protected national forest reserves (e.g. Kagombe Central Forest Reserve on the
northern bank of River Muzizi) occurred.
Institutions and their roles during implementation of this RAP are provided in Table 4.1 below.

4.4 VALUATION AND COMPENSATION OF ASSETS
Land take, compensation and relocation were the most frequent issues of debate encountered during
consultations with PAP. Hence, at the core of this RAP is an aim to ensure project development embraces
equitable and appropriate compensation approaches that meet Ugandan law and international requirements.
Valuation and compensation are in accordance with rates set at district level for crops and “non-permanent”
structures. The rates, which are enacted by District Land Boards, are established and updated at District level. It
should be noted however that, unlike for crops and semi-permanent structures, land value is not determined by
districts. Permanent structures and land are valued based on market value.
However, to meet AfDB requirements, in some cases, additional compensation measures were identified in order
to ensure that all households improve, or at least restore, their livelihoods and standards of living. Since no
household will be moved by the project, this applies to income restoration where roadside businesses are
temporarily disrupted or lost.
There are some gaps between Uganda and AfDB resettlement requirements (Tables 4.2). For example, while
AfDB requires provision of resettlement assistance where needed, according to Uganda’s laws project
proponents are not legally bound to procure alternative land nor provide relocation assistance to affected people
if they provided fair financial compensation based on a legally accepted valuation process. Additionally, African
Development Bank does not recognize “depreciated value” for replacement of assets while Uganda’s Land Act
Cap 227 (excerpted below) allows depreciated replacement cost in rural areas.
The Land Act, 1998:

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 41
1. The District Land Tribunal shall, in assessing compensation referred to in paragraph (b) of
subsection (1) of section 77 take into account the following:
a. In the case of a customary owner, the value of land shall be the Market Value of the
unimproved land;
b. The value of the buildings, which shall be taken at market value in urban areas and
depreciated replacement cost in rural areas;
c. The value of standing crops on the land, excluding annual crops which could be harvested
during the period of notice given to the owner, tenant or licensee.
2. In addition to compensation assessed under this section, there shall be paid as a Disturbance
Allowance of fifteen per cent or if less than six months’ notice to give vacant possession is given,
thirty per cent of any sum assessed under subsection (1) of this section.

In a number of situations, as shown in Table above, AfDB requirements are more favourable to affected persons
than Ugandan law. UNRA is committed to undertaking appropriate compensation approaches to meet Ugandan
law and AfDB requirements such as:
� Compensating for loss of income after affected persons are displaced.
� Compensation for tenants who might not have legal land rights, but have undertaken development or
farming activities on affected land.
� Wherever feasible and acceptable to the affected persons, provide land-for-land compensation.
� Provide property owners with cash compensation at full replacement cost.
� Wherever appropriate, provide skills assistance to affected farmers in areas such as improved crop and
animal husbandry and records keeping.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
5 SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE
P a g e | 46
The socio-economic study was confined to the road environment. The aims were to suggest ways and means to
complete the economic rehabilitation of PAPs along the roads so that they would recover a living standard at
least equal to or better than the one they enjoyed previously and in any case raise their living standards above
the poverty line.
5.2 PROJECT AFFECTED DISTRICTS
The existing road is found in five districts of Kyenjojo, Kibaale, Hoima, Masindi and Kiryandogo, in western
Uganda. The population comprised of Banyoro, Batooro, Banyankole and migrant tribes such as Bakiga,
Baganda, Bafumbira and Alur plus other migrants are from surrounding countries of Democratic Republic of
Congo. People living in these areas are the same since this region follows under Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom, and
Kiryandongo district was original part of Masindi district before it was it was given district status. All these districts
are renowned for subsistence agriculture, mainly food crops and a few plantations.
5.3 SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
The project area districts belong to the western region of Uganda which is among the better-off regions in
Uganda as the economy in the region is not affected by acute poverty. The five districts have attained
remarkable improvements in poverty reduction and human development indicators compared to the northern and
eastern regions of the country.
Despite some regional and localized differences, poverty in the districts is generally associated with low incomes
at household level, food insecurity, high levels of illiteracy and low levels of employment. The major causes of
poverty being inadequate skills, land shortage, poor farming methods, gender inequalities, low productivity,
morbidity due to Malaria, HIV/AIDS and climate change. The nuclear family and to some extent, the clan
constitutes significant traditional social support system for their members especially in times of difficulties.
Beyond the family and the clan, there is currently a socio-political system of organization the Local Council (LC)
system that was introduced in 1986. It starts from the village level up to the District level. The LCs play important
roles in community matters for the development of community infrastructure such as communal access roads,
water sources and in provision of other basis needs of community wellbeing e.g. the living environment, housing,
sanitation, access to public services and in settlement of disputes.
5.4 SOURCES OF LIVELIHOOD IN PROJECT AREAS
Subsistence farming is the principal source of livelihood in all the project districts. In all the five districts most
affected households are dependent on earned income from subsistence agriculture. Subsistence agriculture in
the project affected area comprised of cultivation of bananas, Millet, Rice, cassava, beans, sweet potatoes,
ground nuts, and sugarcane. In addition to the agricultural activities there are other income generating economic
activities as indicated by Table 5.1.

P a g e | 47
Subsistence agriculture was noted to be a significant source of livelihood for the project- affected households in
the villages. Consultation with affected persons revealed that subsistence farmers selling their surplus produce
earn as much as UgShs 5,000 per day or as little as UgShs 1000 per day depending on the season and type of
crops sold. In busy towns and trading centers like Hoima Town Council, Masindi Town Council and Kigumba
Trading Centers, PAPs earned higher.

5.4.2 Spending Patterns
From interviews, potentially affected households spend their incomes on food, housing (rent), medical bills,
clothing, dependants and transport as shown in Table 5.3.

Source: Primary data
The relatively high expenditure on transport is explained by the poor state of existing road, which is unattractive
for public transport operators, so the few taxis or trucks plying this route charge exorbitant fares. In absence of
affordable public transport, proximity to trading centers, which are the sources of employment, goods and
services, are essential for the project-affected people. If affected persons relocate further from towns, they might
suffer higher cost of living resulting from higher transport costs.
Medical expenses were noted high due to a lack of adequate healthcare facilities (clinics and drug stores) in the
affected area. Most of the commonly used hospitals in the affected areas included Hoima Referral Hospital,
Masindi Hospital, Kiryandongo Hospital and Kagadi Hospital plus a number of health centres along the proposed
road. However, due to inadequate services at the health centres, many people were reported to move long
distances to referral hospitals in search for better services. The list of health centre in the affected areas is given
below.

5.5 LANDUSE AND SETTLEMENT IN PROJECT AREA
P a g e | 48
Sections below present results of a socio-economic survey for a 40% sample of PAPs surveyed. The aim was to
understand socio-economic profile of the project-affected people. The road passes through subsistence
agricultural land and residential areas that comprise houses some of which were built with burnt brick with iron
sheet roofs; some of mud/wattle with iron-sheet roofs while others were of mud/wattle with grass thatched roofs.
The road project with a reserve of 30 m would affect 9005 property owners with effects ranging from taking land
strips along the road mainly in Hoima and Masindi districts, demolition of temporary and permanent residential
and commercial buildings which is mainly in Kiryandongo District. The number of PAPs whose residential or
agricultural land would be affected are presented in Figure 5.1 while number of permanent (P) and semipermanent
(SP) structures to be affected in each district along the section AfDB will fund are listed below:
� Kibaale District: P = 55; SP = 47
� Hoima District : P = 53; SP = 26
� Masindi District: P = 26; SP = 08
� Kiryandongo District: P = 05; SP = 01
5.5.1 Land Ownership and Tenure
More men than women owned land in the project-affected area (Figure 5.2). When asked under which tenure
they owned land, most affected people indicated customary tenure. In most of the affected areas men owned
more land than women.

female household heads were encountered and these were often grandparents looking after grandchildren
orphaned by HIV/AIDS. These constitute part of a “vulnerable category”.

5.6 WELFARE OF HOUSEHOLDS
Status of the welfare of the households in the project districts is presented according to selected parameters as
ownership of assets, energy sources for cooking and lighting, access to safe drinking water and availability of
basic minimum consumer needs.
5.6.1 Ownership of Assets
Ownership of minimum household assets in all districts is presented in Table 5.7. About half of the affected
households owned bicycles and almost all of the households had radios. Ownership of television or cellular
phones was low combined with very poor network coverage probably due to the hilly terrain.

Assets YES(%) NO(%)
Two sets of clothes 97.5 2.5
Radios 93 7
Phones (mobile and fixed) 71 29
Bicycles 53.9 46.1
5.6.2 Energy Sources
Firewood is the principal source of energy for cooking in the project districts (Table 5.8). There is also usage of
charcoal but it is limited to a small proportion of households. Proportions of households using of other types of
fuels like paraffin and electricity are almost negligible. Prevalently, households in project districts use paraffin
candles for indoor night lighting and only about 9.5% of households had access to grid electricity for lighting
(Table 5.9).

It was observed that around 70% of the households in the project districts use borehole, protected wells and
rivers (Table 5.10).Piped water was mainly in trading centres while the majority (85%) of residences are more
than 100 m from the nearest water source (Figure 5.4).

5.7 VULNERABLE GROUPS
Vulnerability is the degree to which a population, individual or organization is unable to anticipate, cope with, resist
and recover from the impacts of misfortunes (WHO, 2002). Children, elderly people, malnourished people, and
people who are ill or immune compromised, are particularly vulnerable. Poverty – and its common consequences
such as malnutrition, homelessness, poor housing and destitution – is a major contributor to vulnerability.
A number of households with vulnerable PAPs, headed by the terminally ill, widows, elderly, orphans, female
headed households or disabled people (Annex 4) were identified with a number of challenges including a heavy

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 53
workload on women, male dominance over women and low participation in household or community decisions,
high levels of girl child school dropout, early marriages for girls and general poverty. Such vulnerable homes
might need special assistance during compensation and resettlement process. Number of vulnerable people in
each district through which the road passes are shown below.
� Hoima District: 45
� Masindi District: 41
� Kiryandogo District: 19
� Kyenjojo District: 20
5.8 HEALTH
Malaria fever was the most prevalent disease in affected households followed by respiratory ailments (coughs
and flu). Although most PAPs were reluctant to give their HIV/AIDS status, a few responses from several people
who were frank about their sero-status confirmed high prevalence of HIV/AIDS along the road. Other common
ailments included waterborne diseases like cholera and dysentery attributed to lack of safe drinking water.
Common diseases along the project road and expenses on treatment are presented in Tables 5.11 and 5.12
respectively.

Cough/flu % - - - - 0.1 0.6 0.7
HIV/AIDS % - - - - - 0.1 0.1
Most people (97% of people interviewed) in the project areas were aware of HIV/AIDS and how it is spread. Their
main sources of information are health centres, local radio stations and NGOs involved in HIV/AIDS prevention
programs. Nonetheless, risky sexual behaviour still prevails. Of the people interviewed, 17% of men and 4% of
women reported multiple sexual partners. Female-headed households were found to be more vulnerable to
HIV/AIDS than male-headed counterparts because of poverty which lead them to sexual exploitation for material
favours from men.
Health centres at sub-county levels and major hospitals (Hoima Referral Hospital, Masindi Hospital and
Kiryandongo Hospital) play a central role in the fight against HIV/AIDS and provide treatment, nutrition, free
testing and counselling including other outreach programmes like community sensitization through drama, music
and sports. However, it was reported that most health centres lack drugs, have inadequate staff, and lack space
to accommodate a large numbers of patients. The proportions of disabilities and chronic disease cases in the
project affected area are presented in Figure 5.5 while problems, by proportion, encountered at health centres
and distances travelled are presented in Figures 5.6 and 5.7.

There are also community based groups and NGOs active in community sensitization and empowering people
living with HIV/AIDS by providing them with free seeds, bee-keeping skills, poultry and improved farming
methods and finding markets for their produce.
5.9 SANITATION
Access to good sanitation is very crucial to the health of the population. Poor sanitation poses one of the greatest
threats to health. Within the project area it was observed that pit latrines are used for human waste disposal.
However some very poor households in Masindi, Kiryandongo and Kigumba district do not have latrines and
people relieve themselves in the bush. Therefore keeping the area clean is a challenge because of the poor
hygiene practices in the communities.
5.10 WASTE DISPOSAL INFRASTRUCTURE
There are no designated waste management sites in the project affected area and households discard rubbish in
the nearest bush or a compost pit in the backyard. Primary data shows that a majority of respondents (51.4%)
dispose their waste in their gardens while (36%) dispose it in a compost pit at the back yard. Only 12.6% of
respondents burn their waste.
5.11 SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROJECT AFFECTED COMMUNITIES
5.11.1 Ethnicity
The most dominant ethnic groups of PAPs in Kyenjojo, Kibaale and Hoima districts were Banyoro and Batooro
(Table 5.13). Banyoro were the dominant tribe in Masindi and Kiryandongo but due to Lord’s Resistance Army
(LRA) insurgency in the North, many migrant tribes (for example, Alurs, Baruuli and Acholi) settled in the area. All
these tribes have equal access to resources and economic opportunities without discrimination.

5.11.2 Education
From the survey, findings indicated that 19% of the population aged 10 and above have never attended school,
while 20% completed primary school and only 8% managed to complete secondary school with 5% have
attained high tertiary education (Table 5.14). Table 5.15 presents the level of education by gender, from which it
is clear that the literacy level for the females within the project area is much lower than for the males.

5.11.3 Cultural Characteristics and Physical Cultural Resources
The cultural characteristics of the project area are as diverse as the tribes living in the area. Each migrant tribe
comes with its own culture; however there are some cultures which are universal to all tribes. These include
families where households are headed by men, and marriage which demands that men pay dowry for their
brides. Widow inheritance was common in the past but the act is slowly dying out mainly because HIV/AIDS.
Polygamy is also another practice common in the project area.
A physical cultural resources assessment along the road (Annex 6) documented archaeological artefacts,
features pottery scatters and iron slags. The analyzed pottery finds follow in the later Iron Age periods (Roulette
decorations) which are not very rare in archaeological finds hence less significance but are good indicators of
possibility to encounter older finds, hence the need for monitoring of road construction activities.
No paleontological remains were observed during surface inspection in the project area although the geological
formation suggests possible sites far beyond the project area.
Historical building and monuments significant as per the historical Monuments Act were found in this area. The
region is an ancient place with evidence of ancient settlement starting from colonial building together with Indian
settlement terraces. Old buildings of the colonial nature (1920-1930s) were observed especially at administration
institutions. Fortunately they sites (old buildings) will not be directly affected since they are about 70m from the
road center. Monuments were also recorded and these might not be affected except Businge monument which
located in a roundabout of Kyenjojo-Hoima -Masindi Road. This can be covered during construction but also
maintained after construction phase.
It should be noted that archaeological and paleontological deposits are usually underground level. Should any of
this kind be disinterred during road construction activities, such activities should be stopped, and Museums and
Monuments Department engaged to investigate, evaluate and protect these chance finds.
5.11.4 Settlement Pattern and Housing of the PAPs
Settlements along the project area are generally linear especially in trading centres. There is a mix of residential,
commercial structures along the road that will be affected by the project. For example in Kyatiri, Pakanyi and
Kigumba Trading Centers, buildings to be affected include shops and market stalls along the road (maize, mills
saw mills, welding). However, most residential structures are located away from the road and this is why no
fewer dwellings will be affected during road upgrade.

6 RESOURCES TO BE AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT
P a g e | 57
This section presents categories and inventory of property to be affected based on records in the valuation roll.
Wherever applicable, project components and activities leading to resettlement have been presented with the
specific sections of road where resettlement shall occur. A summary of project impacts is presented in Table 6.1.
6.2 ASSETS AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT
Land to be affected by upgrading and operation of the road is the road reserve measuring 15 m on either side of
the road centerline. In some areas, the existing road is wide enough to take into consideration the proposed
adjustments without significant effect. Owners of affected land with perennial crops, timber trees and fruit trees
(mango, jack fruit, guava, oranges, oil palm, etc) which are important sources of income for households, shade,
timber, building/fencing poles, herbal medicines, etc would be compensated basing on District property rates.
Considering that they can be harvested within the six-month “notice to quit” period, annual crops would not be
compensated.

Total 4272 91 498
Along Bulima-Kabwoya (66 km) section, 59 buildings comprising 354 people will be demolished while the
respective numbers along Kigumba-Bulima (69 km) section are 34 households comprising 144 people. All
together however, as documented by the property count and valuation exercise, 4272 people were recorded to
be losing various types of assets along both these sections. These assets range from crops, fences, kiosks to
permanent buildings.
From consultations with PAPs, it was established that it would be possible for some people to rebuild affected
structures a small distance behind the damaged buildings. This will reduce the adverse socio-economic effects of
resettlement. Disruption to businesses and temporary loss of income during relocation can be minimized if
owners are allowed to rebuild replacement structures before completely vacating the old ones where possible
during the regulatory 3-month “notice to quit” period.
Table below shows types and number of assets affected along the road sections to be funded by AfDB.

As indicated in table 6.1c above, several churches, schools and health centres will lose strips of land to the road
reserve. Many community resources would lose land to the project and road redevelopment could also cause
temporary disruption to their access, such as when overburden is dumped into junctions leading to these
facilities such as to render them impossible to access by women, children elderly or disabled people. Location of
community facilities (schools, health centres, places of worship and water sources) is shown in Annex 1.
In some places, water mains and 33 kV power lines (Plate 1) adjoining the existing carriageway will need
relocation during road upgrade, causing temporary disruption in supply. Facilities along the project road are
presented in Figure 6.1.

6.4 LIVELIHOODS
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 59
Economically-displaced people are people whose livelihoods are affected by the proposed road project and
associated land acquisition. This only applies to those whose business are required to be relocated, but also to
those employed in a business, or those who lose livelihood (income or subsistence) due to loss of crops.
Because buildings in both rural and urban sections of the road are built away from the carriageway, no significant
economic displacement is envisaged. Several commercial structures housing income-generating businesses will
be affected. Along sections to be funded by AfDB, 17 strips of gardens of estimated area of 16 acres will be lost
to the project but these will not result into food insecurity to affected owners.
6.5 INJURIOUS DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
Injurious damage to property (whether structures or crops) during implementation of the road project will be
mitigated or compensated as follows:
� Monetary compensation to owners from contractor’s insurance.
� Contractor to repair or replace, to owner satisfaction, any injuriously damaged property.
6.6 PROJECT COMPONENTS RELATED TO RESETTLEMENT
During preparation of this RAP consideration was given to project components/ activities that would give rise to
resettlement. This mainly included sections of the road where resettlement would be undertaken and alternatives
and mechanisms to avoid or minimize resettlement were also considered. Considering that the road will follow
existing alignment, trading centers/ townships were identified as areas that would require larger resettlement cost
than road sections through rural areas. It was noted that some construction in new upcoming trading centers did
not conform to building lines from existing road, therefore to minimize impact on built structures hence
resettlement, the design provided for a 30 m reserve in rural sections and 20 m in urban areas.

7.1 KEY PRINCIPLES
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
7 COMPENSATION AND RESETTLEMENT PRINCIPLES
Key principles that the proponent (UNRA) will commit to during resettlement are presented in Box 2.
Box 2: Key principles to heed during compensation
P a g e | 61
� Resettlement and compensation of Project-Affected People (PAP) will be carried out in compliance with
relevant Ugandan laws and AfBD standards. All physically or economically displaced people shall be
adequately and equitably compensated. Wherever possible, UNRA shall assist affected people in
restoring their livelihoods by providing transitional assistance, where necessary, if livelihoods are not
restored to pre-project level.
� Resettlement shall be implemented in a gender-sensitive manner. Consent of spouses shall be sought,
as provided by the law (e.g. Section 40 of the Land Act, 1998). In addition, resettlement-based options
shall be strongly promoted, since cash compensation to male household heads is often detrimental to
women.
� Cash compensation, although sought after by heads of households, cash payment could be detrimental
in the medium-term to other household members, particularly female spouses and children. Wherever
agreeable, the project should provide “land-for-land” compensation rather than cash compensation.
� Compensation shall aim to ensure that people are not worse off after resettlement and attention and
should be given to ‘vulnerable’ categories such as the child-headed and female-headed households.
7.2 ELIGIBILITY FOR COMPENSATION
In resettlement terms, eligibility is defined as the criteria for qualification to receive benefits under a resettlement
program.
7.2.1 Eligibility, Census and Cut-Off Date
The cut-off date was considered by the surveying and valuation consultant as the last day of the census of
affected people and properties, i.e. 10 February 2011. No structure or field established in the project-affected
area after that date would be eligible for compensation. The cut-off date after which no settlers or developers are
eligible for compensation was publicized among potentially affected people. This was explained during the
census and valuation exercise to all stakeholders in the area, including:
� Project-affected people, identified and individually surveyed,
� Parish Land Committee (LC2 level),
� District Land Board (LC5 level),
� LC officials in which consultations were undertaken
The following categories are eligible for compensation:
� People who have been in the surveyed part of the proposed road reserve and working areas;
� Landlords owning both cultivated and uncultivated land that is affected by the road;
� People whose structures are to be affected by the development;
� People who rent land for cultivation (sharecroppers) and their crops or trees are to be removed or
damaged due to land acquisition activities.

P a g e | 62
� Any other group of persons that has not been mentioned above but is entitled to compensation
according to the laws of Uganda and AfDB/Donor policies.
� Public or community facilities such as churches, schools and water sources.
Public facilities along the road are presented in Annex 1 and any of these which would be affected by
the road project were valued and included among those eligible for compensation. Compensation would
be given to respective communities through local government structures or owners (in case of private
schools) and administrative structures in case of places of worship.
7.2.2 Speculative Structures
Opportunistic uninhabitable structures established for the sole purpose of compensation pose a specific eligibility
problem and will be addressed through the use of the following methods to ascertain the validity of the
compensation claim:
� Inspection of the structure to determine whether it is indeed habited or not;
� Consultation with LC chairpersons’ authorities to ascertain whether the contested structure existed at
the time of the cut-off date or census and whether it was established in good faith or for an opportunistic
compensation purpose.
7.3 OVERVIEW OF ENTITLEMENTS
7.3.1 Categories of Affected People
During compensation, an important legal requirement is that contained in Section 40 of the Land Act that makes
it compulsory to seek consent of spouses before compensation packages is paid out. As mentioned earlier
(Section 7.1, Box 2), cash compensation entails a number of risks for impoverishment of female spouses and
children, when for example, a household head decides to marry another wife or buy luxuries instead of rebuilding
a new home.
Affected persons irrespective of their status (whether they have formal title, legal rights, non-legal right) are
eligible for some kind of assistance if they occupied the land before cut-off date.
Vulnerable people are people who by virtue of gender, ethnicity, age, physical or mental disability, economic
disadvantage, or social status, may be more adversely affected by resettlement than others and who may be
limited in their ability to claim or take advantage of resettlement assistance and related development benefits. In
this case, stakeholders form the PAP identified vulnerable people as the following:
� Widows;
� Orphans;
� Disabled or terminally ill people (particularly people living with HIV/AIDS and other illnesses);
� Second or third wives, particularly those where there is a risk that they will be abandoned by their
husbands after compensation;
� The elderly;
� Households whose heads are female and who live with limited resources.
� Households whose heads are orphans (child-headed households).
It should be noted that vulnerability is not a static condition. For instance PAPs who were normal at the time
valuation/ surveys might be found vulnerable a year later at the time of effecting compensation payments. Others
who were found terminally ill with AIDS and therefore vulnerable during field surveys might have passed on but
their heirs healthy and not vulnerable. This situation should therefore be handled on a case-by-case basis during
RAP implementation.
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 63
Based on the above, information provided on vulnerable PAPs (Annex 4) should serve to inform RAP
implementation team to identify nature and state of prevailing vulnerability and accord special assistance
necessary.
7.3.2 Compensation and Resettlement Measures
Two main resettlement packages, the details of which are provided in the section below, have been designed to
ensure adequate compensation for PAPs who lose assets or livelihoods when the project is implemented. These
packages have been developed in consultation with the affected community, including PAPs and local
councillors to give PAPs, depending on their vulnerability categorization, the opportunity to choose options that
best suit their relocation needs and circumstances.
Entitlement measures were developed basing on facts below:
� The majority of PAPs will only lose a small section of land that abuts the road reserve. In some cases, this
will also result in the loss of permanent or temporary structures, or crops. If they have room on their
remaining land holding, PAPs are likely chose to construct new structures or plant crops on their adjacent
land, rather than moving to a new village. As such, current social ties and access to infrastructure or
services such as water sources, schools, shops, transport services and places of worship will be maintained.
� The majority of PAPs have expressed a strong preference for cash compensation rather than replacement of
assets. This is despite their concerns regarding the rising price of land and construction materials;
� Some PAPs however, particularly vulnerable groups, demonstrated a preference for replacement assets.
a) Option 1: Primary entitlement measures
These measures are designed to be appropriate for the majority of PAPs, who are likely to only lose small strips
of land adjoining existing road, some permanent or temporary structures. The measures include a mix of cash
compensation for lost assets (including land, structures and crops), other assistance measures such as
relocation assistance, and where appropriate, measures to cover any short-term changes in livelihood. It is
presumed that the cash compensation will be used by PAPs to replace lost assets by purchasing new land
where necessary and/or constructing a new structure on remaining portions of their current land plots.
Livelihoods will be replaced through the development of new structures.
b) Option 2: Other entitlement measures (provided to vulnerable groups or those whose land will become
unviable as a result of the Project)
These measures have been developed to assist vulnerable groups, or those whose land will become unviable
after the resettlement. In this scenario, land and structures would be replaced (with the same tenure as preresettlement),
and assistance would be provided to move household or business goods. No cash compensation
would be provided for assets, but a transition and disturbance allowance shall be provided to overcome any
short-term changes in livelihood.
c) Measures common to both scenarios
Taxes and charges associated with the purchase of new land will be paid directly by the Project. PAPs choosing
cash compensation will have a choice of either receiving a cash payment or into a bank account opened by the
Project (if a PAP does not have one) covering all associated bank fees and charges associated with opening a
new account.
The following provides a description of each of the entitlement measures for loss of assets, loss of livelihoods
and other entitlement measures.

7.4 VALUATION AND COMPENSATION LOSSES
7.4.3 Description of Entitlement Measures
7.4.3.1 Compensation for loss of land
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 64
Compensation for the loss of land will be offered to all PAPs who currently own or use land, irrespective of
legality their tenure. Strip maps showing location of PAPs by road section or location and detail of type and
amount and value of assets (crops, trees, structures, dwelling houses, storage facilities, ancillary structures like
fences and latrines) are provided in a separate volume “Property Valuation Report” prepared by an independent
consultant. Reference should be made to this document for detail of PAPs and assets affected.
Under the Primary Entitlement Measures (Option 1), cash compensation will be provided, based on market value
and disturbance allowance of 30%. This is considered adequate for replacement value. During consultation,
households mentioned that they had already begun looking for replacement land and were waiting on the
compensation payment to affect the purchases.
For vulnerable groups or those whose land will become unviable, an option will be provided for replacement land
of similar size, quality and tenure (freehold or lease).
7.4.3.2 Compensation for Loss of Crops
a) Perennial crops
Cash compensation will be provided for the loss of perennial crops, calculated using the approved district rates.
However, since Uganda government rates do not include provision for loss of income associated with these
crops, a transitional allowance will also be provided to cover any loss of livelihood during the period between loss
of crops and availability of income from new (replanted) crops.
The purpose of the perennial crop transition allowance is to cover lost income incurred by households during the
transition period until replacement crops are ready for harvest. Compensation is paid based on assumption that
10% of perennial crops are sold annually. Farmers are aware of possible future road expansions and do not
grow permanent (perennial) crops in road reserves, or near roads generally. Since perennial crops are grown
away from the road, 10% is suggested as a realistic proportion of potentially affected perennial crops. PAPs will
be paid 10% of their annual crop income for 3 years to provide a transition allowance while new crops are grown.
Considering the small strips of land to be lost along the road, respective compensation values shall be
proportionately derived for each affected land size.
b) Annual (seasonal) crops
The project will provide all compensation under the entitlement matrix three months prior to the commencement
of construction. At the time of payment, the timing of the project will be made clear and instruction provided as to
how crops will be managed during this time. This timeframe provide adequate opportunity for all seasonal (or
“annual”) crops to be harvested, and thus there is no impact to annual crops. As such, no direct compensation
will be paid for these crops.
A transitional allowance will be provided to ensure that any changes in livelihood derived from such crops is
adequately compensated. Compensation will be paid in the amount of Ug. Shs 24,000 per household which
loses annual crops. This is calculated on the basis of 10% of the average daily income from agriculture, for a
period of one month. The assumptions that underpin this calculation are as follows:

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 65
� The range of income earned from agricultural products in the project affected areas is Ug.Shs 1,700 -25,000
daily, thus an average of Ug.Shs 12,000 per day. This includes income derived from livestock, which will not
be affected by the Project;
� Most households will only lose a small percentage of their land plot, and thus agricultural activities and
income derived from them would mostly remain unaffected in the remaining land;
� Adequate time will be provided for the harvest of crops and compensation for lost land and other assets will
be provided in advance, enabling replacement. Impacts therefore, are likely to be minimal.
These measures are the same under Option 1 and 2. Compensation rates for crops are guided by district rates
usually updated regularly.
c) Unintentional damage to crops
If there is unintentional damage to crops during road construction whether owned by PAPs or not, compensation
will be paid for both annual and perennial crops, based on the approved district rates.
7.4.3.3 Compensation for loss of structures
a) Owners of permanent structures
For current land owners, under the primary entitlement measures (Option 1), cash compensation for permanent
structures will be provided, calculated basing on prevailing market value, and a disturbance allowance of 30%.
In addition, a further payment is recommended to cover the increase in cost of construction materials from the
time government rates were developed in each of the two districts. This will be calculated at the current inflation
rate.
Those who would prefer the non-cash based compensation (Option 2), a new permanent structure (either
business or residential) will be provided. This will be of similar size, design and tenure as current structures, and
where possible, will be located in the same village as the current structure. This process will be undertaken in
consultation with the affected household/business.
b) Tenants of permanent structures (residential and commercial)
Under the primary entitlement measures (Option 1), if tenants of permanent or temporary structures are
identified, they will be provided with cash compensation for any fixed assets that cannot be relocated. It is
however unlikely that these will exist since tenants are not usually allowed to develop permanent assets on
rented premises.
c) Owners and tenants of temporary structures
Affected persons may salvage building materials at their own cost from old structures to reuse elsewhere.
Also, for those moving to a new settlement, or non-adjacent land, transport assistance will be provided by UNRA
forthe households or business goods. In addition, for vulnerable groups only, labor will be provided where
necessary to assist with loading and unloading of property, as determined on a case by case basis. This
measure is considered unnecessary for non-vulnerable households, as they would prefer this to be done by
household members to avoid theft, and maintain privacy about their household or business property. Districts
have also established compensation rates for temporary structures that are updated regularly.
d) Damage to structures (permanent and temporary)
If there is unintentional damage to the structures during the construction process, compensation will be paid for
all losses by the contractor. This will be calculated based on approved district rates (for semi-permanent

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 66
structures) and market value (for permanent structures) and will be available for all structures whether owned by
PAPs or not.
7.4.3.4 Compensation for loss of business (owners and tenants)
Compensation will be paid to business owners and tenants for the potential loss of business income. A transition
allowance will be provided in the amount of UgShs 240,000, which is calculated on 50% of the average daily
income for a period of one month. This measure has been based on the following assumptions:
� The range of income earned in businesses in the project affected areas is UgShs3,500-60,000 per day, thus
an average of UgShs18,500 per day (see baseline section);
� Most PAPs are likely to choose to relocate their business onto the adjoining portion of their land, and thus
will remain in their current village (see above for compensation measures for the loss of land);
� Much of the trade for retail or restaurant/bar businesses is from within the locality (town or trading center),
and thus is likely to remain constant during the construction and operation phases of the Project; and
� Households are likely to be able to continue to operate their current business from the old structure while
new premises is constructed (using compensation payment), therefore income will still be generated during
this time.
7.4.3.5 Compensation for loss of employment
The number of PAPs who will lose employment as a result of the Project, even in the short term, is very low.
Those most likely to be affected are those working in roadside wooden kiosks, shops, bars and restaurants. For
those who do lose employment, a transition allowance of UgSh 95,000 will be provided for workers in all affected
business. This is calculated on the basis of the average wage for a period of one month. The assumptions that
underpin this calculation include the following:
� Bar or restaurant workers generally earn between UgShs 35,000 per month (when housed and UgShs
70,000 per month if not housed. Shop workers generally earn slightly more, between UgShs 82,000 per
month (when housed) and UgShs 125,000 per month (if not housed). The average income therefore is
about UgSh 89,500 per month.
� Most workers will continue their employment in the new premises, and thus there will be minimal change to
livelihoods. However, a transition allowance will provide assurance that their livelihoods are not affected.
7.5 PAYMENT MODALITIES
7.5.1 Payment of bank charges
For households which do not currently have a bank account, but would prefer compensation not to be made in
cash, the Project will facilitate opening of a bank account and will pay all associated costs directly to the Bank.
Account opening charges might also entail costs associated with acquisition of identification documents or
recommendation documents from local councils and all these will be refunded by UNRA on a case-by-case
basis. UNRA is aware of the possible risk of squandering compensation payments made in cash. This however
will not preclude the choice of cash payment for PAP who so wishes.
7.5.2 Transport refund when collecting compensation
The project will provide cash compensation in advance for the payment of transport to payment stations for the
collection of compensation payments. This will be in the amount of 20,000 per household, based on prevailing
average transport costs in the project areas.

7.5.3 Payment options
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 67
All PAPs will receive cash compensation in a lump sum before project implementation commences in line with
African Development Bank Policy which calls for full compensation prior to property demolition or displacement.
7.5.4 Notification of Compensation
Before receiving their compensation, each PAP will have had chance to view their entitlement. The household
entitlement will indicate details of their property valuation and compensation sum due, including the following:
� Compensation amount approved by the Chief Government Valuer.
� A description of methods used, including specifics of the valuation of structures, crops and land.
� Additional measures to be paid by the project, such as transitional or transport allowance, and also detail the
other support offered by the Project, such as relocation assistance.
� Information regarding documents required to claim compensation (such as original documentation or
passport photos).
Upon receiving the individual entitlement matrix, the PAP must sign acceptance of their entitlement choices. In
addition, the claimant will be asked for identification.
In cases where landowners do not reside in project areas:
� UNRA will check with caretakers on the land to establish contact detail of actual owners.
� If this fails, UNRA will place advertisements in national papers or radios to inform these land owners about
their compensation entitlements.
a) Payment Days
Dates on which PAPs receive payment will depend on payment days assigned to the PAPs’ respective villages.
Payment will be disbursed to PAPS two villages per day (“Village Payment Days”).
Heads of households should be accompanied by spouses to receive compensation payments. However, if a
spouse is unable to come along then claimant should carry a letter signed by the spouse to this effect. In the
case of polygamous households, UNRA will encourage all their spouses to be present during compensation
payments. Complaints arising from such compensation will be addressed under the grievance process. UNRA
will ensure that communities are made aware of this during RAP disclosure.
Also during disclosure, women will be encouraged to accompany their spouses to payment stations if there is a
possibility of misuse of compensation payments by their husbands. Wherever practical for such couples, UNRA
will seek to know the proposed plan for use of compensation payments and provide appropriate advice.
If a PAP misses their respective “Village Payment Days” – the PAP should make special arrangements with
respective LC1s to collect their payment. However, every effort will be made by the Project to ensure that
households are available on allocated payment days.
b) Location
Disbursements will be handed out at a local bank (“Disbursement Location”).

c) Who shall be present at payment location
At least three of the following representatives will present at the Disbursement Location:
� UNRA representative
� Representatives of the local administration
� A representative of the district administration
d) Tracking payment:
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 68
To track payments, photographs of all PAPs will be taken, which will be entered into the compensation log.
e) Payment by instalment
UNRA will provide full upfront payment before commencing construction of the proposed.
f) Exceptional situations
� Deceased Owners: A heir or representative of the deceased appointed by the Administrator General
will receive compensation on behalf of a deceased person. During RAP disclosure, PAPs will be
informed of documentation required for this purpose.
� Joint Owners: Before compensation is done to one of joint owners, a signed letter must be presented
showing that the other parties have authorised the said person to receive payment on their behalf.
� Disputed Ownership: In case of property disputes, ownership of a property has to be verified by a
letter from the local village council (LC1). Ownership of a disputed property is resolved by a land
committee (at Sub-country level) together with local council (LC) leadership of the village in which the
property is located. Modalities and processes for resolving such disputes are already in place within the
local government administration system. If these free structures fail, a person resorts to the courts of
law.
7.5.5 Mutation of Compensated Land
Upon payment, Mutation Forms will be filled and Letters of Surrender issued to title deed holders. Land
compensated by the project will be mutated from title deeds and ownership reverts to UNRA as a road reserve.
A summary of entitlement matrix is shown in Table 7.1.

Affected people prevalently preferred cash compensation for assets (land and structures) in spite of inherent risks (e.g. squandering resources before rebuilding their livelihoods, theft, inflation, etc). For buildings PAPs
would have liberty to salvage construction materials or any material they desire from affected structures.

8 CONSULTATION WITH AFFECTED COMMUNITIES
P a g e | 72
Consultations were carried out with project affected people and district officers during preparation of this RAP to
provide opportunity for them to know project objectives, possible social-economic impacts and resettlement
options were available to them. Feedback from consultations was analysed, documented and integrated in
resettlement measures reported in this report. During consultations, it was clearly explained to PAPs that
resettlement did not only mean displacement and relocation in the literal sense but also loss of income
(economic displacement). The cut-off date was communicated to stakeholders and its implication on assets
developed after that date explained.
Consultations were conducted from 22 nd September, 2010 to 9 th August, 2012 in each trading center of village
along the road in form of town-hall meetings open to all PAPs and stakeholders. Villages suitably located near
each other were often consulted in a joint meeting. Notably, there was no restriction on women to attend
consultation meetings, which in some places were attended almost in equal numbers by both men and women.
In each district, consultants started with Local Government Officials before meeting communities.
Table below gives a summary of key stakeholder views detailed in Annex 2.

accounts and requested UNRA to facilitate opening them at local
banks such as Stanbic, Centenary Bank and Post Bank.
2 Lack of legal title deeds for land and
buildings to prove ownership may preclude
such PAPs from receiving compensation.
3 Lack of letters of administration and family
conflicts about rightful person to receive
compensation may cause delay in
receiving compensation.
4 PAPs developing property wanted to know
if construction should cease or continue
after a given building had been valued for
compensation.
5 When would compensation payments be
made?
6 There is need to protect existing public
infrastructure such as water sources,
water mains and electricity mains.

a 10% fee on compensation payments

case, is it legal?
8 Gender violence may increase in

All persons irrespective of their ownership status (i.e. with or without
title deeds and users) are eligible for compensation so long as they
existed during property census and valuation period.
Any conflicts between titled land owners and occupants will be
managed through the grievance process developed as part of this
RAP.
In such cases, money will be kept until family grievances are resolved.
Any additional investment made on affected buildings will not be
compensated if they were not captured during property census and
valuation exercise.
UNRA will communicate these dates to PAPs.

therefore it is not taxable income.

P a g e | 73
Those property owners should inform valuers as soon as possible for
records to be corrected.
In summary key issues routinely encountered in communities along the road are outlined below:
� Keeping cash payments at home could induce spates of robberies after compensation.
� Lack of asset ownership documents (title deeds) may preclude PAPs from compensation.
� There was need to know exact project commencement date and when compensation would be
undertaken.
� UNRA needs to protect existing infrastructure such as water sources, electricity mains and repair them
if damaged by road works
� Gender violence in households can increase if men control /squander compensation payments.
These and other findings were utilized in development of resettlement strategies for the project.

9 GRIEVANCE MANAGEMENT AND REDRESS PROCEDURES
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 76
This section describes avenues for PAPs to lodge a complaint or express a grievance against the project, its staff
or contractors during RAP implementation. It also describes procedures, roles and responsibilities in grievance
management process.
This grievance procedure will not replace existing legal process in Uganda rather it seeks to resolve issues
quickly so as to expedite receipt of entitlements and smooth resettlement without resorting to expensive and
time-consuming legal process. If the grievance procedure fails to provide a settlement, complainants can still
seek legal redress in courts of law. The grievance system will operate for a total of three years.
The project will put in place an extra-judicial mechanism for managing grievances and disputes based on
explanation and mediation. Every aggrieved person shall be able to trigger this mechanism, while still being able
to resort to the formal judicial system. Objectives of the grievance process are as follows:
� Provide affected people with avenues for making a complaint or resolving any dispute that may arise during
land and asset acquisition,
� Ensure that appropriate and mutually acceptable corrective actions are identified and implemented to
address complaints,
� Verify that complaints are satisfied with outcomes of corrective actions,
� Avoid the need to resort to judicial proceedings.
9.1 GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE
A dedicated Grievance Committee will be established to assess grievances during RAP implementation. This
committee must have a quorum of at least 3 people and decisions will be reached by simple majority. The
Grievance Committee should be constituted for as long unresolved grievances are pending.
This will include the following members:
� Two representatives of PAPs (one woman and man)
� Local Council III (LC3);
� District Land Officer - Surveyor;
� UNRA representative
� A property valuer,
� Grievance Officer (GO): This is sociologist provided by the RAP implementation consultant contracted
by UNRA.
9.2 GRIEVANCE MECHANISM
The Grievance mechanism will receive inputs from three main sources:
� Directly from PAPs residents or other members of community and not necessarily PAPs.
� From implementation teams executing the resettlement.
� From Monitoring and Evaluation Officer who will forward concerns identified in project affected areas.
Main actions of the grievance process are illustrated in Figure 8.1 and described in sections below.

Step 1: Receipt of complaint
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 77
A verbal or in written complaint from a PAP will be received by the Grievance Officer and recorded in a grievance
log (electronically if possible) which will be held at UNRA field office. There will be need for the grievance team to
hold meetings at sub-county headquarters where grievances are received by a contact person such as the Subcounty
Chief. This would then hand over received complaints to UNRA’s grievance officer, for entering into the
grievance log. The log would indicate grievances, date lodged, actions taken or reasons the grievance was not
acted on (i.e. the grievance was not related to the resettlement process); information provided to complainant
and date the grievance was closed. Grievances can be lodged at any time, either directly to UNRA office or
through a grievance committee member. The process for lodging a complaint is outlined below:
� The Grievance Officer will receive a complaint from complainant.
� The Grievance Officer will ask the claimant questions in their local language, write the answers in
English and enter them into the Grievance Form.
� The local leader and complainant both sign the Grievance Form after they both confirm the accuracy of
the grievance.
� The Grievance Officer lodges the complaint in the Grievance Log.
Step 2: Determination of corrective action
If in their judgement, the grievance can be solved at this stage, the Grievance Officer and will determine a
corrective action in consultation with the aggrieved person. A description of the action; the time frame in which
the action is to take place and party responsible for implementing the action will be recorded in the grievance
database.
Grievances will be resolved and status reported back to complainants within 30 days. If more time is required,
this will be communicated in advance to the aggrieved person. For cases that are not resolved within the
stipulated time, detailed investigations will be undertaken and results discussed in the monthly meetings with
affected persons.
Step 3: Meeting with the complainant
Corrective action and timeframe in which it is to be implemented will be discussed with the complainant within 30
days of receipt of the grievance. Written agreement to proceed with the corrective action will be sought from the
complainant (e.g. by use of an appropriate consent form). If no agreement is reached, Step 2 will be re-visited.
Step 4: Implementation of corrective action
Agreed corrective action will be undertaken by the project or its contractors within the agreed timeframe and
completed action recorded in the grievance database.
Step 5: Verification of corrective action
To verify satisfaction, the aggrieved person will be approached by the Grievance Officer to verify that corrective
actions have been implemented. A signature of the complainant will be obtained and recorded in the log and/or
on the consent form (see Step 3). If the complainant is not satisfied with outcome of the corrective action,
additional steps may be undertaken to reach agreement.

Step 6: Action by local leaders and project contractors
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 78
If the Grievance Officer and independent observer cannot solve the grievance, it will be referred to UNRA for a
solution that satisfies the aggrieved party.
Step 7: Action by Grievance Committee
If the complainant remains dissatisfied and a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached, the complaint will be
handled by the Grievance Committee. Once the Grievance Committee has determined its approach to the
lodged grievance, this will be communicated to the Grievance Officer, who will communicate this to the
complainant. If satisfied, the complainant signs to acknowledge that the issue has been resolved satisfactorily.
However if the complainant is not satisfied, outstanding issues may be re-lodged with the Grievance Committee
or the complainant may proceed with judicial proceedings. This grievance management process recognizes that
the formal judicial process would be lengthy and costly for PAPs and is recommended only after all free redress
options are exhausted.
Step 8: Action by UNRA management
If no satisfactory solution can be provided by the Grievance Committee the complaint will be resolved by UNRA
top management and the independent office of the Chief Government Valuer. If after management intervention,
resolution is not reached the complaint has the option to pursue recourse by judicial processes in courts of law.
Sections below provide key people involved in the grievance redress process and associated actions.
a) Grievance Officer
A Grievance Officer (GO), who is a member of the implementation team, will lead the grievance mechanism.
Principal responsibilities of the GO will include:
� Recording grievances of affected people, categorizing and prioritizing them and providing solutions
within a specified time period.
� Discussing grievances on a regular basis and developing decision/actions for issues that can be
resolved at that level.
� Reporting to the aggrieved parties about developments regarding their grievances and decisions taken.
� Providing inputs into the Monitoring and Evaluation process.
All PAPs along the road will have access to the grievance process.
b) Specific tasks of the GO
i) Set up a systematic process of recording grievances in a register (“Grievance log”) as well as
electronically (database). Upon request, PAPs may view a log of their grievances.
The grievance log will be sent to the implementation team and UNRA management monthly so as to be
aware of the nature of complaints being filed. Where confidentiality is sought by the aggrieved parties,
their names would be concealed in this log.
ii) Record both written and verbally communicated grievances.
iii) Categorize issues in 3-4 broad categories in order to review and resolve them more efficiently. Suggested
categories are grievances regarding:

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
1. Replacement structure or land, and procurement of construction materials;
2. Agriculture and crops;
3. Livelihoods; and
4. Valuation process and payment of compensation.
P a g e | 79
iv) Prepare a database for recording and keeping track of grievances and how they were resolved. The
database shall be a ‘living’ document, updated weekly. Access to making entries into the database
shall be restricted to the implementation team, but a PAP will be able to obtain feedback on the status of
his/her grievance at any time.
v) Communicate the grievance procedure to people, process of recording their complaints and timelines
for redress. Communication will be provided during household disclosure process and to community
leaders. Information will also be provided to affected persons outlining procedures and commitments of
the grievance mechanism.
vi) Raise grievances at the regular Implementation Team meeting for discussion. Some resolutions will
require coordination with the local authorities, which the GO should follow up, while some would require
intervention from UNRA.
c) Capacity building of the GO
Since his/her role is crucial in ensuring that the RAP process is transparent, UNRA will select the GO not only
based on educational qualifications and experience, but also commitment and communication ability. A flawed
grievance process can disrupt the RAP process, leading to resentment and dissatisfaction among affected
communities. Depending on the GO’s experience, capacity building for the GO may require initial orientation and
a follow-up training program. In such cases, training should include the following:
� Use of computers and maintenance of databases to record and update the Grievance Register,
� Effective use of communication mediums and methods to interact with the community as well as for conflict
resolution, and
� Coordination with relevant stakeholders which may include the implementation team, contract team, or local
authorities.
Other members of the committee are considered to have straight forward roles in grievance redress process,
similar to their usual job mandate, as outlined below:
� Local Council III would provide counsel related to verification of identity of property ownership and related
citizenry complaints.
� The District Land Surveyor will provide guidance on complaints related to property survey.
� The valuer will guide about how property values are derived based on either market value or District
Compensation Rates.
� The UNRA present positions representing the institutions view.

9.3 SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR ADDRESSING VALUATION GRIEVANCES
9.3.1 Valuation
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 80
In addition to the overall management process for grievances (Figure 8.1), there are likely to be grievances
specifically related to property valuation. These are likely to come when households consider compensation
values for their assets insufficient. This might arise when PAPs doubt if valuation values do indeed provide
replacement value. If PAPs misunderstood the compensation process and believe they are entitled to additional
compensation, they might lodge complaints. Given this, the project has developed a dedicated procedure to
manage and close out grievances relating to valuation.
9.3.2 Valuation grievance decision making procedures
While some grievances would be resolved by the committee, others might not, such as when the claimant
contests District property or crop compensation rates. Therefore the Grievance Officer (GO) will determine
whether a complaint can be resolved by the committee or, if not, referred to the Chief Government Valuer
(“CGV”).
� If not, the GO refers the complaint to the CGV.
� CGV refers grievance to the valuer and surveyor. If no settlement is reached at this stage, the
aggrieved person can resort to judicial process.
� If a complaint concerns the road contractor, the Grievance Officer refers such a complaint to UNRA
Management.

10.1 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
10.1.1 RAP Implementation Unit
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
10 RAP IMPLEMENTATION
P a g e | 81
Before road works commence, affected people will be fully compensated before taking their land or demolishing
structures. RAP implementation will be a responsibility of UNRA, which may hire an independent consultant. This
consultant will constituted a RAP implementation unit implement which will, at a minimum, comprise the
following:
� Land surveyor
� Property Valuer
� Accountant
� Sociologist
� Legal officer
Districts political leadership may be involved mainly serving as witnesses to the RAP implementation process. A
technical representative, preferably from the District Land Office or Social Development Office will be useful in
providing on-the-spot technical answers to PAPs, at the payment desk, when necessary.
Before resettlement, the entities will be responsible for planning implementation of the RAP, communicating
compensation measures identified in the RAP to PAPs (disclosure of entitlements) and dealing with day-to-day
activities associated RAP implementation. Throughout and after RAP implementation UNRA and AfDB will be
responsible for monitoring and evaluation activities.
10.1.2 Implementation Schedule
RAP implementation is proposed over a period of 16 months during which monitoring would be undertaken
throughout the construction period and for extra 6 months after construction (Table 10.1). The RAP
implementation unit and local committees would be formed shortly afterward approval of valuation report by
CGV’s office.
The implementation schedule in Table 10.1 covers all resettlement activities from preparation through
implementation, including target dates for achievement of expected benefits.
10.2 RESETTLEMENT BUDGET
Compensation and resettlement budget (Table 10.2) was based on valuation surveyor’s computations of value of
affected land, structures as required by Uganda’s Chief Government Valuer. In Table 10.2, RAP implementation
costs have also been added to asset valuations to derive overall RAP budget that entails both resettlement and
implementation.
Table 10.3 provides RAP budgets for Bulima-Kabwoya Kigumba-Bulima road sections to be funded by AfDB and
detailed in Annex 8.

11 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND COMPLETION AUDIT
P a g e | 85
The purpose of monitoring and evaluation for this RAP will be to check effectiveness of RAP implementation,
covering resettlement, disbursement of compensation money and public involvement. Monitoring will also entail
evaluation of effectiveness of the grievance management process.
Sections below present the proposed monitoring and evaluation framework for RAP implementation, including a plan
for monitoring and evaluation of compensation packages with indicators for measuring performance, impacts and
outcomes. This plan also provides for reviews by stakeholders including the AfDB. The Framework includes a review
of financial disbursements, compensation complaints and grievance redress, adherence to compensation payment
schedule and support of vulnerable PAPs.
11.1 GENERAL OBJECTIVES AND APPROACH
The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) mechanism provides a basis to assess overall success and effectiveness of
various resettlement processes and measures. This mechanism is based on two components:
a) Internal monitoring – undertaken by the implementation unit’s Monitoring Officer,
b) External evaluations –by AfDB and other national stakeholders.
11.2 INTERNAL MONITORING PROCESS
11.2.1 Overview
Overall objectives and tasks of the internal monitoring process are:
� Identification of suitable indicators;
� Measurement of indicators at appropriate intervals;
� Creation of a mechanism to analyze M&E data against a pre-resettlement baseline. This baseline should be
contemporary and established by measurement, especially of incomes, income stability and livelihoods.
� Set up a system to regularly respond to M&E findings by adapting existing measures or by modifying
implementation processes.
This monitoring process will be used to analyze progress and change at regular intervals. It shall be linked to the
various stages of the RAP, as follows:-
a) During resettlement
During resettlement, M&E should focus on resettlement issues such as:
� Number of families that have been compensated;
� Number of people who have acquired legal documents to new property,
� Number of business owners who have restored their businesses,
� Efficiency and effectiveness of grievance redress mechanism.

) After resettlement
Post resettlement monitoring should focus on rehabilitation issues, for example:
� Success level of restoration of livelihoods
� Success level of restoration of assets
� Efficiency and effectiveness of grievance redress mechanism.
11.2.2 Key Activities and Responsibilities
AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 86
i) Set up a system: The RAP implementation team will provide a monitoring form to be completed monthly by
a dedicated M&E officer. Information collected will be entered into a database at UNRA for further analysis
and compilation into quarterly reports.
ii) Ongoing Monitoring: The M&E Officer will be in-charge of regular monitoring of the implementation
process. This will involve:
a) Feedback and inputs from the Implementation Officers.
b) Reviewing of the resettlement database.
c) Receiving reports from Grievance Officer and of the grievance database.
d) Receiving information from local representatives.
e) Direct consultation with the resettled community at each location.
iii) Monthly reports: Consolidated monthly reports with key findings from on-going monitoring should be
submitted to the implementation team and discussed every month and action points determined. This
monthly progress review should aim to ensure that the important issues are immediately rectified.
iv) Vulnerability assessment: It is essential that vulnerability is closely monitored in order to provide timely
support to susceptible households. A vulnerability assessment shall occur as part of quarterly auditing of all
households, and those households that are most vulnerable shall be prioritized for monthly auditing and
targeted assistance. This may be undertaken by the implementation Officer. Key activities are:
a) Develop a set of criteria to identify vulnerable households (Note that this is intended to act as a
guideline only and should be modified as appropriate).
b) Every three months visit vulnerable households to assess key needs/ issues (e.g. unemployment) with
the rehabilitation process.
c) Develop a plan to address these issues in conjunction with members of the household.
11.3 EXTERNAL EVALUATION PROCESS
11.3.1 Overview
In addition to internal monitoring, external assessment of the resettlement process should be undertaken through an
external evaluation agency appointed by UNRA. The external evaluation process will be informed by internal
monitoring reports prepared by UNRA, and also through independent surveys and consultation conducted by an
evaluation agency UNRA may hire.
The evaluation system will be based on:

AWE Engineers

P a g e | 87
a) Process indicators that measure effectiveness (consultation, grievance) and inputs like people, equipment and
materials and identify areas where improvements to existing processes are required. These may include the
following:
� Transparency of the implementation process.
� Adequacy of staff and capacity of implementing entities agencies.
� Compliance of the resettlement process with Ugandan law and African Development Bank
standards.
� Effectiveness of the grievance mechanism.
� Adequacy and effectiveness of public involvement.
� Effectiveness of the internal monitoring mechanism.
b) Outcome indicators will assess effectiveness of resettlement and changes that have occurred to the
communities’ standard of living. Key indicators are outlined in Table 11.1.
Table 11.1: Monitoring indicators during resettlement (quarterly basis)
Category Indicator
Fund disbursement � Number of PAPs paid
� Amount of money disbursed
� Number of PAPs not paid in prescribed time (respective quarter)
� Reasons for not paying PAPs

assets livelihoods
� Projected disbursements in the next 3 months
� Number of PAPs who have reconstructed buildings
� Reasons for not reconstructing dwellings
� Number of commercial buildings replaced
� Reasons for not reconstructing commercial buildings
� Number of businesses restored
� Reasons for not re-establishing businesses
Public involvement � Participation of local leaders and community in resettlement process
Grievance

� Number of grievances received
� Number of grievances resolved
� Number of complaints reported to other government agencies and outcomes including how
grievance was resolved
� Number of grievances refereed to Uganda Courts of Law
� Number of outstanding grievances and reasons for not resolving them
� Land title deeds received
� Land title returned to owners
� Number of vulnerable PAPs resettled
� Kind of special assistance provided
11.3.2 Key Activities and Responsibilities
UNRA will liaise with relevant ministries (MoLGD, MoFPED, AfDPlB, CGV’s office) to undertake external evaluation
of resettlement mid-term and at end of resettlement. These evaluations will focus on reviewing the process and
making necessary recommendations for modification to existing rehabilitation measures and grievance redress
processes.

AWE Engineers
www.awe-engineers.com
P a g e | 88
As part of its RAP supervision and monitoring, UNRA will at end of resettlement activities conduct a rapid socioeconomic
survey, based on a sample of the total number of PAPs to establish effectiveness of resettlement. For the
reason that baseline data in RAP will be old by end of resettlement activities, findings of this survey will also be
compared with prevailing general socio-economic conditions along the road.
RAP monitoring will also involve local government offices such as the district Community Development Officer (CDO)
who is mandated to address social issues including community mobilization. For this role, the district CDO can work
with Assistant Community Development Officer (ACDO) at sub-county level. UNRA will identify and train NGOs to
undertake monitoring of RAP implementation. It is noted however that local government structures (district and subcounty
level) do not usually have the required knowledge, skills and financial resources to support RAP
implementation and monitoring. It would be in the projects interest to develop a training program and provide
necessary financial facilitation. UNRA therefore needs to sensitize district staff and other stakeholders about this
RAP and implementation responsibilities required of them. This activity will be catered for under the budget line of
RAP monitoring and evaluation. During RAP implementation UNRA will submit to AfDB quarterly RAP
implementation progress reports.
11.3.3 RAP Completion Report
After completion of resettlement, a final report will be submitted by UNRA to AfDB prior to preparation of the project
implementation report. The report shall indicate effectiveness of project implementation and disbursement of
compensation payments, effectiveness of public involvement and socio-economic impacts of roadside communities.
This report will give overall assessment of the RAP process indicating activities undertaken, success of mitigation
action and monitoring and well as useful lessons learnt.
11.3.4 Completion Audit
A key aim of resettlement is to ensure compensation and other mitigation measures restore or enhance affected
people’s quality of life and income levels. If quality of life of PAPs can be demonstrated to have been restored, then
resettlement and compensation process can be considered “complete”. The purpose of Completion Audit will
therefore be to establish whether UNRA implemented all activities needed to ensure compliance with proposed
resettlement commitments and applicable national and AfDB requirements.
The completion audit will be based on progress and outcome evaluation indicators and shall aim to answer the
following questions:
Have the objectives of the RAP been reached in terms of:
� Compensation for all impacts of all affected people,
� Timely delivery of entitlements and compliance with Uganda’s and AfDB resettlement requirements,
� Has compensation been fair and adequate to mitigate social impacts,
� Have livelihoods been restored.

12 CONCLUSION
P a g e | 89
The proposed project has considerable local and national socio-economic benefit. An improved road will bring
considerable social benefits for Districts it passes through by stimulating trade and attracting public transport hence
lowering transport cost for people and goods. Considering that the road project follows existing alignment,
resettlement impacts are expected to be manageable with good planning, RAP implementation, grievance
management and monitoring.

On Contractors � Contractors are mobile people and when they are in an area they increase economic
activities for example increasing in trade within the project area because they will be
buying commodities from the communities.
� Contractors are always young, energetic and sexually active and this leads to
transaction of sex and hence prostitution and increased HIV/ AIDS and other sexually
related diseases.
Recommendations
� Contractor’s camps should have clear rules and guidelines that will be given to the
workers in order to guide them on how they should behave in the communities. The
workers should also be sensitized on how to use condoms and provide them if
possible.
� It is a governmental principle for contractors to mainstream HIV/AIDS activities among
their activities. It is recommended that they should set up an HIV/AIDS policy. The
contractors should also have a focal person to create a good relationship between the
contractor and the communities.
� The road contractor should coordinate with local HIV/AIDS organisation to
sensitisation about HIV/AIDS in the worker’s camp

road during construction.
� The consultant should provide maps and GPS coordinates for the rivers, wetlands
bridges and culverts along the project road.
� Consultant should include the EHS management plan and the contracture agreements
from UNRA in the appendix of the report.
� NEMA as the lead agency will carry out the project monitoring with UNRA and the
contractor.
On waste � Hazardous wastes should be managed properly to avoid oil spillage and other related
impacts on the soil and ground water.
On Community � The contractor should identify trading centres along the project road and sensitise the
people about road safety and impacts associated with a new road.
� The road contractor should sensitise the community and road workers about
