7 PART I - INTRODUCTION I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220 kv Transmission Line (TL) Project has a total length of km. It startes in Nhuan Duc Commune of Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City and end in Duc Hoa Substation of Tan My Commune, Duc Hoa District, Long An Province. A double circuit connection is created among the Cau Bong 220kV Substation which was financed partly by the World Bank and the new substations at Cu Chi financed by the Ho Chi Minh Electricity Company and the Duc Hoa 220kV Substation in neighboring Long An Province (to be partly financed by JICA). The corresponding TL uses partly the right-of-way (ROW) of the existing 110kV Phu Hoa Dong - Trang Bang TL and partly the ROW of the 110kV Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park TL. These existing 100kV TLs would be dismantled on that section of the ROW used by the new Project and the corresponding 110kV circuits would be relocated on the new TL.

No land is required for the earth grounding zone because this is a 220kV TL and subject to a range of conditions. Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 1

8 Houses and other physical structures need not be relocated outside what is termed in Decree 14/2014/NP-CP dated 26th February 2014, the power transmission safety corridor. However, they have to be earthed if metal structures also constitute a portion of the physical structure or fireproofed if made of combustible construction materials. II. PROJECT IMPACTS 3. Results of Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) showed that the implementation of the Project will cause land restrictions and acquisition in six (06) communes, of which five (05) communes belong to Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City namely Nhuan Duc, Phuoc Hiep, Trung Lap Ha, Phuoc Thanh and Thai My, and one (01) commune of Tan My belongs to Duc Hoa District, Long An Province.

The Project will affect 266,704.2 m² of land, of which 252,625.5 m² is covered in restriction on lands under the ROW and 14,077.7 m² of land is permanently acquired. The Project affects 89,289.1 m 2 of rice, 14,370.1 m 2 of other annual crops (maize, cucumber, cassava, etc.), 76,006 trees (including fruit trees, timbers, ornamental trees and shade trees). There are 16 houses of 14 AHs which are located under the ROW. 5. Of 296 HHs and 2 organizations affected by land acquisition, there are 87 HHs having only land affected, 193 HHs having land and crops and trees affected, 14 HHs having land, houses and other structures. 6. There are not any public facilities, historical and cultural structures affected by the project implementation. Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 2

9 III. PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION 3.1 Progress of the Project Construction 7. There are three contractors carrying out the construction for the Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV TL project that are the Song Da Joint-venture 11; Song Da Co. Ltd. 11 Thang Long and IEC. 8. The construction works of the Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV TL was commenced in December However, the construction works of the project have only been implemented when there were agreement of affected households from April As the construction and installation progress, up to the end of June 2015, the works carried out by the three contractors of Song Da Joint-venture 11; Song Da Co. Ltd. 11 Thang Long and IEC have been under the planned progress as table below. Table 3: Construction works up to July 2015 Item Activities Unit Design volume Construction volume Completion rate 1 Foundation excavation Tower foundation % 2 Foundation concretion Tower foundation % 3 Backfilling Tower foundation % 4 Grounding for tower Tower % 5 Tower erection Tower % 6 Cable stringing m 13, %* * Cable stringing has been carried out from tower 18 to 19 and from tower 01 to G Contractors are assembling towers at the positions 6 and 32. Disadvantage during contractor construction include: (1) clearance site have not been yet implemented completely at the positions 10, 13 and 34; (2) AHs at the positions 12, 16 and 21 have not assembled towers, they requested paying compensation before they allow assembling tower. 10. Plan of compensation and support have been delayed in comparison with the site clearance and construction progress as well as overall plan of the project. However, to meet with the progress of the construction works, at almost all positions, the contractors and AHs have signed an agreement in which the contractor pays AHs in advance to support for their affected land and assets and get site handover for construction of tower foundation. 3.2 Progress of URP Implementation 11. Updated RP of the project approved by ADB in October The update RP were established based on reuslt of DMS and the approved resettlement policy framework which was established during RP preparation stage. The policy framework is consistent with the governing policies of the REMDF concurred by ADB and NPT that were applied in all TL projects of the Power Transmission Investment Program. 12. In Duc Hoa District: Up to the last quarter of 2015, Duc Hoa DPC issued the Decisions No. 5555/QD-UBND, 5557/QD-UBND, 5558/QD-UBND, 5559/QD-UBND, 5560/QD-UBND dated June 30, 2014 and 139/QD-UBND dated January 15th, 2015 Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 3

10 approving the Compensation Plan of the Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV TL Project through Tan My commune for 6 affected households. There are 5/11 HHs and 1 organization received payment for compensation and support (one affected by ROW and four by towers - No.40, 41, 42, 43) with total amonut of VND294,412,308. Up to this quarter of 2015, Duc Hoa DPC issued continuously the decision No. 2339/QD-UBND dated April 24th, 2015 and decision No. 4576/QD-UBND dated May 3rd, 2015 approving additional the compensation plan of the Cau Bong Duc Hoa 220KV TL project through Tan My commune and paid completely for 5 AHs with amount of VND 259,238,500 in period from May 12th, 2015 to June 6th, In general, the compensation implementation in Duc Hoa district has had much change advantageously in compare with the last quarter. 13. In Cu Chi district, DMS have been carried out completely for 39/39 (49 households and 2 organizations) tower foundations and 531/531 compensation records of 272 affected households within ROW. 36/39 tower foundations were handed over ground for project construction. Three positions (10,13 and 34) have not been yet handed over ground for construction because AHs request calculating compensation sheet and pay before constructing. In case the compensation plan have not yet been established and approved so that the compensation payment could not be done. AHs request SPMB, Cu Chi CARB and contractor must pay in advance before construction. Cu Chi CARB and contractors cooperated with together to negotiate AHs for project construction from March 9, 2015 to March 11, After that, from April 27th, 2015 to May 21st, 2015 SPMB has negotiated with households who affected at positions 10, 13 and 34 for handing over ground. However, almost of AHs have not agreed handed over ground for project construction. They only hand over ground when they have received compensation or advance from contractors. 14. Of which 531 compensation records, there are 10 records need to be implemented verification include: 3 records at Trung Lap Ha commune, 2 records at Nhuan Duc commune and 5 records at Thai My commune. The communes of people s committee and the Department of Natural Resources has been checking and determining the legal sovereignty of records. Total AHs are 285 HHs and 02 organizations. Until now, the compensation, allowance and resettlement plan has not been done. Cu Chi DPC has issued document No. 5008/UBND-BTGPMB dated July 7th, 2014 submitted to the City s compensation appraisal council on appraising land price for calculating compensation and allowance. However, Ho Chi Minh City PC has not had yet instruction for calculating compensation, allowance price. 15. In the April 14th, 2015, SPMB has issued document No. 2546/QMN-DB on asking for the undertakings to accelerate the implementation of compensation process. Contents of the document were summarized such as: 1) Ho Chi Minh city PC issues document allows applying the draft compensation, allowance policy according the document No. 1844/TNMT- KTD dated March 26th, 2015 of City s MONRE submitted to Ho Chi Minh City PC; 2) Ho Chi Minh city PC allows applying ADB s policy according the document No. 1865/UBND-DTMT dated April 9th, 2015 of Ho Chi Minh city PC for difference policies between the Land Law 2013 and ADB s policy. The original document, please reference to appendix. Present, it is being processed by Ho Chi Minh city PC. 16. Ho Chi Minh city PC issued the decision No. 23/2015/QD-UBND dated May 15th, 2015 on regulating for compensation, allowance and resettlement when the state recover Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 4

11 land on the Ho Chi Minh City area. However, until present it has not had implementation instructions. In the June 29th, 2015, SPMB issued document No. 4579/SPMB-DB on requesting for Cu Chi District support and stakeholders for stringing cable of the Cau Bong Duc Hoa 220KV TL project through the Cu Chi District. 17. For the Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV TL, the Resettlement Plan is carried out following its steps conformed to the project s policy, and the progress of RP implementation is as table below.

SAFEGUARD POLICY AND HUMAN RESOURCES 4.1 Project Policy and Compliance with Government s Regulations and ADB s Requirements 18. The NPT has reconciled the provisions from Safeguard Requirement 2: Involuntary Resettlement of the SPS 2009 and other cross-cutting policy themes of ADB, and the relevant laws of the GoV, from where the legal and policy framework for the compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation of DPs were formulated. The framework is consistent with the governing policies of the REMDF concurred by ADB and NPT that will be applied in all TL projects of the Power Transmission Investment Program. 19. The ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) consolidates three existing safeguard policies: Involuntary Resettlement (IR), Indigenous Peoples (IP), and Environment. The objectives of the IR policy are to: (i) avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; (ii) minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; (iii) enhance, or Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 5

12 at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and (iv) improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. 20. To address the discrepancies between ADB Safeguard Policy and relevant GoV regulations, the project principles on resettlement policy are as follows: a. Meaningful consultations have been carried out with the APs and concerned groups and ensure participation from planning up to implementation. The comments and suggestions of the APs and communities have been taken into account; b. The RP is disclosed to APs in a form and language that understandable to them; c. Involuntary resettlement and impacts on land, structures and other fixed assets are avoided or minimized where possible; d. Compensation and assistance is based on the principle of replacement cost; e. Severely affected household is entitled when they are losing 10% or more of the household s productive land; f. Special assistance has been incorporated in the resettlement plan to protect socially and economically vulnerable groups such as households headed by women, children, disabled, the elderly, landless and people living below the provincial poverty line; g. Gender concerns are incorporated through RP implementation; h. Reporting and independent monitoring is defined as a part of the subproject management system. Periodically independent monitoring on implementation of RP has been implemented. 21. Since the 1 st July, 2014, the updated and amended compensation and resettlement policy of the Government of Vietnam had been entered into force which are applied in the implementation of the updated RP include: (i) The newly revised Land Law 2013 No.45/2013/QH13 dated November 29 th, 2013; (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Decree No.43/2014/ND-CP dated May 15 th, 2014 guiding the implementation of the Land Law 2013; Decree No.44/2014/ND-CP dated May 15 th, 2014 regulating land price; Decree No.45/2014/ND-CP dated May 15 th, 2014 regulating collection of land use levy; Decree No.47/2014/ND-CP dated May 15 th, 2014 on compensation, assistance, rehabilitation and resettlement in the event of land recovery by the State. 22. At the national level, however, policy framework on land acquisition, compensation and resettlement came into force, the provincial level decision guiding the implementation of the Land Law as well as provisions on compensation, support and resettlement at province level by Ho Chi Minh City People s Committee are going on. This process of preparing a decision of the City PC is taking time and that leads to the delay of issuing the compensation plans and compensation payment. 23. Details of project policy for compensation and allowances are indicated in the Entitlement Matrix (see Appendix 3). Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 6

13 4.2 Safeguards team 24. Monitoring and evaluation the implementation of compensation and assistance activities is continuously conducted to ensure that activities have been carried out effectively and sufficiently as per the RP and mitigation measures of the project. 25. The NPT and the SPPMB have joint responsibilities in the internal monitoring of the RP implementation with results will be reported to ADB on quarterly basis. All activities in resettlement are time bounded and the progress of implementation will be obtained by SPPMB from the field on monthly basis and transmit them to the PICs for its assessment, and adjust the work program if necessary. The monthly internal monitoring reports will cover those related to performance indicating the measurement of input indicators against proposed timetable and budget including the provision and physical delivery of compensation, repair of houses and structures and assistance to APs, including grievance and redress, among others. 26. SPPMB had assigned a full-time team allocated from its Compensation Department for supervising and implementation of the RP. Compensation Department has assigned tasks to support the Director Board on the implementation of compensation, land clearance, resettlement and environmental impact assessment. It has a total number of 22 staff specializing in both resettlement and environment aspects. For this project, five persons are frequently involved in the assigned works. 27. In addition, in June 2014 two consultants (resettlement and environment) were recruited and mobilized on intermittent basis to support the implementation of project s resettlement and environment safeguard policy (resettlement consultant had terminated the contract from early of Until early of June 2016, SPMB has signed contract with other consultant for replacing the former consultant). PICs closely work with safeguards team under SPPMB in the implementation of RP. The resettlement consultant has assisted SPPMB team to: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Continue undertaking the consultation and disclosure programs. Ensure that options or agreements reached with affected people (APs) in terms of replacement of assets, i.e. cash or in-kind are provided in a timely manner. Establish and implement liaison mechanisms to ensure proper technical and logistical support to SPPMB and DCARBs, as well as procedures for a centralized resettlement and social management information system and internal monitoring. Assist in the implementation of all resettlement activities, and ensure that the terms of references are properly and effectively achieved. Review and assess grievance redress mechanism and ensure that the responsibilities, reporting requirements, and budget allocation to support the committee's functions are in place. Carry out on-the-job training on consultation and grievance mechanism strategies to SPMB, CARBs and mass organizations, so they will be able to provide correct and clear information and culturally appropriate support to affected persons.

15 PART II - IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFEGUARD POLICY I. PUBLIC CONSULTATION, PARTICIPATION, AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE 28. Information disclosure and public consultation have been implementing continuously by SPMB. However, from the last quarter to now there are no meetings for information disclosure and public consultation were implemented. Because, compensation plan has not been established yet so that it could not carry out meeting for information disclosure and public consultation. Therefore, the below descriptions are mentioned again from the last quarter report. 29. In compliance with GoV s Land Law 2013 (Article 48, Article 67, and Article 69), SPS (2009) and ADB s Public Communication Policy: Disclosure and Exchange of Information (2011), the SPMB, as representative of NPT in Southern Vietnam, promotes the active participation of the Project-based stakeholders. They have been identified during the series of disclosures and public consultations at District, commune and village levels, involving stakeholders such as the District level CARBs, CPCs, mass organizations, non-ap residents, and the APs. 30. The disclosure of information, with the consultation and participation of all APs and relevant stakeholders, will help minimize the risk of disputes and Project delay. This also facilitates the Project to design resettlement and rehabilitation program as a comprehensive development program that meets the needs, preferences and social benefits of the project investment. Information disclosure will also be done throughout project cycle with the updated policies. 31. After the updated RP approved by ADB in October 2014, the updated RP has been provided to relevant stakeholders and posted in public in order to ensure involving stakeholders such as the District level CARBs, CPCs, mass organizations, non-ap residents, and the APs be fully informed and understood and to implement the RP conforming project s policies and regulations. 32. The Project PIB was also distributed to the AHs, in which the following information included (i) a brief background of the Project, especially the main works to be undertaken and the scale of land acquisition; (ii) impacts on land and on-land assets; (iii) the entitlements due to affected land and assets; (iv) detailed plan of implementation of compensation, assistance and resettlement payments and (v) grievance redress mechanism. 33. During the information disclosure and public consultation campaign organized from December 19 to 27, 2014 in the project communes, which are Trung Lap Ha, Thai My, Nhuan Duc, Phuoc Thanh, project implementation consultation in cooperation with SPMB carried out intensive consultations with relevant stakeholders (CARBs, CPCs, APs) to disclose and consult the stakeholders, information disclosure are including: (i) Scope of project, right-of-way, and location of towers: AHs and local authorities were informed and understood about the importance and necessity of the project, project scope, locations of tower foundations and the ROW going through the communes. The local people and authorities are all come to common consent and support to the Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 9

16 implementation of the project that will contribute to the development of local socioeconomic condition and national power grid development as well. (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) Scope of land acquisition; alternatives of land acquisition mitigation: The project will have two types of impacts: land acquisition for construction of tower foundations and land use restriction under ROW. Potential impacts (both positive and negative) of the land acquisition on affected households/community, on culture, religion, ethnicity, and on women: For almost of AHs the land acquisition made minor impacts on their livelihood and religion. Entitlements of affected households/community; gender and ethnic minority policies and strategies: The AHs were informed and understood about the current policies and regulations of the GoV, as well as Ho Chi Minh City and Long An Province People s Committee on compensation, support and resettlement, and their entitlements and obligations during the implementation of the project. Income restoration activities for severely affected households, and vulnerable groups: No severely AH is in existence so income restoration activities are not required. Procedures and action plan for compensation payment, support and resettlement: The procedures and plan for the implementation payment for compensation, support and resettlement must be publicly disclosed to all AHs to know to strictly implement and monitor according to project policies and entitlements. (vii) Grievance redress mechanism: AHs were disclosed and understood about the procedures and steps of logging complaints and grievance redress mechanism by four steps based on the principles of publicity, democracy, protection of rights and interests of the APs. 34. The APs during the discussions raised their issues of concerns, mentioning about: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) In several locations, the tower foundation is too close to the houses and structures. Safety measures should be applied to protect people s life and assets. For this case, according to the Decision No.14/2014/ND-CP, if the safety distance is less than 6 meters, houses and structures are to be dismantled. The Project implementation plan, particularly compensation plan, should be informed as soon as possible so that they can prepare for themselves to repair their houses and/or to have time in collecting their agricultural products and avoid waste. The contractors during the construction stage have unintentionally made damages on AH s crops and trees but did not pay compensation. It is requested that the contractors must take measures implementing the environmental protection plan during construction and if they made affected the agricultural lands, they must pay compensation for the damages. Temporary land acquisition should be minimized to avoid great impacts to residents. In case where unavoidable, contractors must made agreement with AHs for the temporary impact and adequate payment should be made for the AHs. Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 10

17 (v) If land is acquired, compensation must be in accordance with the current government regulation and ADB policies. (vi) For households whose houses are near the ROWs, the Project should ensure that electromagnetic field will not affect their health; otherwise they should be relocated from that area. (vii) The advance payment should be made with the witness of four parties (contractors, SPMB, CPC s representatives and the APs) for the reason that the then compensation amount in case of higher or lower still ensures the legitimate entitlements of the APs. CPC shall be then certified for that payment. (viii) The reasonable demands of the AHs (upgrade of houses and structures, household splitting) in the remaining land area that was not acquired and/or under ROW should be considered and permitted by project and local authorities. For this case, it should be conformed to the Circular No.31/2014/TT-BCT of the Ministry of Industry and Trade regulating in detail power safety contents. (ix) (x) Some AHs having land acquired for tower construction, the remaining land areas are cut in the bias, deformed, and too small that could not be further used or hard to use. It was proposed that the project should consider and work out for the acquisition of the remaining land. Losses made by temporary impacts even after the stage of tower construction have not been fully and adequately paid and borrowed land was not fully restored as the prior construction condition. The farmers are in the main cropping season but could not continue to do their production because excavated and filled land becomes aluminous contaminated that causes losses for the AHs. The work of construction monitor is not given full attention so that the restoration of temporarily borrowed land could not be done timely and satisfactorily. 35. The above-mentioned issues of concerns and proposals from the APs were listened and consulted by resettlement consultant and representatives of SPMB then clearly explained and discussed at the meetings in terms of project policies, entitlements as well as obligations of the APs. Some cases with the AHs, however, the situation should be investigated in the site. The SPMB requested contractors to be engaged together with SPMB to work directly with the AHs at the site to resolve the problems satisfying AHs requirements and arrange the compensation at AH s satisfaction at the soonest time. 36.

These activities will be continued to ensure that affected households concerns and grievances are addressed and resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. Affected households are fully aware of their rights for grievance mechanisms about any aspects of the project and they can lodge their complaints at any time during the project implementation. II. DETAILED MEASUREMENT SURVEY AND ENTITLEMENT 38. Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) has been carried out since May It is already completed in August 2014 and now on the process of reviewing the ownership of APs property and approval of compensation plan. During DMS, enumeration was conducted fully and exactly for all lost land and assets on land of the AHs and affected communities.

The results of the DMS found that more than 30% headed households are female for both TL projects. Women play an important role in implementation of RP as they have actively participated in decision making of their household and community, as well as the supervision of the project implementation activities. Women involve not only in domestic works but also in income generation and local associations activities. 2. Women are encouraged to participate in all project activities and play higher role in making family and community important decisions. Especially, during the process of public consultations with the APs, female APs are encouraged to raise their voice, actively engage in and fulfill their rights to be free and prior informed, involve in discussion and making decision, and monitoring and evaluation of all project activities. 3. To enhance the active participation of women and reduce the impact of land acquisition and clearance process on women in the project area, a gender strategy during Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 15

22 the preparation and implementation of resettlement plan is necessary. The organization of public consultation to ensure men and women are engaged and listening to their opinions fully, the consultations ensure at least 30% women participants. In order to implement this objective, the consultation meeting should coordinate with locality and districts Women Union to organize the meeting such as invitation and arrange a suitable time for women to avoid the busy times such as family cooking, picking up the child/children...). 4. The gender Strategy is to help the AHs including both men and women participate in the implementation of RP and benefit distributed equitably between men and women from achievements of that development. The gender strategy in the stage of implementation of the RP includes the following: - Mobilize the participation of the women's unions in DCSCCs: DCSCC must include at least a representative of women of affected households. In this quarter, Districts are consolidating the district compensation and site clearance council. This work is to ensure that woman who participate in all activities of RP implementation. - Poor female headed households are vulnerable people so they need more assistant from the project: Strategy of disseminating Project s information to the community focused on them. They have been invited to participate in all public consultation meeting for disseminating Project's information; - Both men and women are encouraged to participate in DMS. They participated in DMS and spoke out their opinions about the implementation process of detail measurement survey; - The Project have been working closely with the district women's unions, ward/commune women's unions to mobilize the participation of women in all activities of RP implementation (public consultation through questionnaires, people s meetings...). They raised concern issues of women to implementation process of compensation, allowance, resettlement and site clearance. Thence, they suggests solutions to redress these issues ensure women s benefits in all activities of RP implementation; - Women have invited to partipate in all public meetings and must ensure at least 30% of the participants as women. So far, in almost public meeting women have partipated and spoken out their opinions. Participation rates of women in public meetings described in Table 5; - The payment of compensation and assistance in cash will be given to the affected households in the presence of both husbands and wives; In case, husbands or wives absent, the compensation payment only is carried out when husbands/wives receive compensation have to have proxy letter of others and have confirmation of local authorities. - LURCs which are newly granted should be named both husbands and wives.

INFORMATION REGARDING PROJECT COMPENSATION AND RESETTLEMENT POLICIES AND REGULATIONS Question 1: What is the Cau Bong - Duc hoa 220kV Transmission Lines Project? Answer: The Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project is designed to supply to 220kV Duc Hoa Substation to ensure reliable electricity supply to industrical zones in districts of Duc Hoa and Duc Hue belong to Long An Province and to load centres in the Northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, contribute to strenthening the connectivity capacity for power network of the region. The Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project has a total length of 13.42km, starting from G anchor tower turning from 220kV Cau Bong - Cu Chi Transmission Line to 220kV Cu Chi Substation and turn to Duc Hoa and ending at 220/110kV Duc Hoa Substation (Long An Province). Question 2: How will the Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project affect the local population? Answer: The Project will cause the following effects: (i) Buildings and other structures and buildings on land lost permanently; (ii) Trees are cut off on the land affected permanently; and (iii) Reduction of the use of land, buildings / infrastructure in the safety corridor of high-voltage grid (ROW). Question 3: What is the main objective of the Project Resettlement Plan? Answer: The main objective of this Resettlement Plan is to ensure that all APs will be restored their socio-economic conditions at least equal to or better than they would have been in the absence of the Project. Poor households, difficult condition households and other vulnerable households (women-headed, eldly-, children-, disable person-headed, under-policy-assisted households) will be supported rehabilitating their socio-economic conditions equal to or better than prior Project conditions. Question 4: What if my land is affected by the Project? Answer: The affected land will be compensated for replacement land (if land fund available) OR in cash at replacement value at current market rates at the time of compensation. All affected households and local authorities will participate in replacement cost survey. If the leased land is recovered, compensation will not be made for the land but the investment costs in land. Question 5: Do we need to have a land title in the order to be compensated? Answer: No, lack of formal legal rights to land does not prevent any APs from receiving compensation or allowances and/or rehabilitation assistances. Those APs who possess a land use rights certificate (LURC) or any other form of written or verbal agreement to utilize the land are entitled to compensation for the lost land as well as assets on the land. Those APs who do not Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 54

61 have legal/legalizable or temporary/lease rights for land will still be compensated for the assets on the land, such as any structures, crops and trees. Question 6: Is the compensation applied for affected houses and structures? Answer: Yes. Compensation will be applied for all affected assets including houses, shops and other structures (kitchen, bathroom, toilet, well, livestock cages, fence, etc.) as well as other fixed assets at replacement value at current market prices (including materials and labour) without any deductions for building depreciation or salvageable building materials. This will ensure that APs are able to reconstruct their houses and other structures with better or at least the same quality as in the absence of the Project. Question 7: What about affected crops and trees? Answer: Affected crops, fruit and timber trees and tree fences will be compensated in cash at current market prices. Compensation for non-harvested crops will be based on the average production in the past 3 years multiplied by current market prices. Compensation for trees will be based on the type, age and productivity of trees. Question 8: In addition to compensation, how will the Project support us? Answer: In addition to compensation for affected land and asset as per Project policy, the Project will provide rehabilitation assistances to eligible APs to ensure that their living standard is restored or improved at least equal to or better than their pre-project level. Rehabilitation assistances for eligible APs include: Severely affected households: Households that lose 10% or more of their total productive land will receive rehabilitation assistances include (i) life stabilization assistance (ii) income restoration assistance such as agriculture extension assistance for better use of the remaining land area, participating in credit access programs or recruitment related to the Project. The assistances are presented in the Entitlement Matrix. Relocated households: Affected people who must be relocated have rights to get: (1) transition assistance; (2) life stabilization assistance for transitional period; and (3) assistance for house rental at replacement cost. The assistances are presented in the Entitlement Matrix. Business owners that lose income while they relocate or rebuild their shops/businesses: Households with small, unregistered businesses will receive cash compensation equal to the provincial minimum wage for 3 months. Owners of registered businesses will receive cash assistance due to loss of income equivalent to 30% taxable income in a year. Annual taxable turnover average is determined on the basis of financial statements of three years ago. Employees and hired laborers who lose their jobs: will receive cash compensation for lost salary/wages for each month they cannot work, if the loss is temporary; or, if the loss is permanent, cash compensation equivalent to the provincial minimum wage for 6 months or cash compensation for remaining contract period whichever is higher. Allowance for changing job: the affected households either have or not have registered certificate on their residential land that after relocation but they could not be continued, the person in working age who belonged to the affected households will be participated in the free Cau Bong - Duc Hoa 220kV Transmission Line Project 55

62 cost training course in one of the local vocation training centers, suitable for the facts of region and their ability. Question 9: How our affected public assets will be compensated? Answer: With respect to affected public assets, compensation will be provided to recover or newly construct depending on scope of impact after consulting with local authorities/affected community. Question 10: Does anybody in our community can claim for compensation? Answer: No. Entitled Affected Persons (APs) are those persons or households that are surveyed during the detailed measurement survey (DMS) activities. The APs and local authorities will be informed of the cut-off date (the date of completion of census) for the Project. Anyone moving into the Project area after cut-off date will not be entitled to compensation and assistance under the Project. Question 11: What can I do if I am not listed as affected people during the DMS but I am asked to be relocated? Answer: You are not in affected people list might be due to some mistakes during the DMS. However, you will get the same kind of compensation as other APs. DCARB will responsible for adding your name in the list of affected people. Question 12: How will APs be consulted and informed? Answer: A consultation and public information program will be organized in your commune to ensure that APs receive complete and timely information about the Project.
