PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND PROJECT COMPONENTS The develpment bjective f the Vietnam Industrial Pllutin Management Prject (VIPMP) is t imprve with industrial wastewater treatment regulatins in fur f the mst industrialized prvinces in Vietnam. The prject's ultimate beneficiaries will be the general public in the fur prject prvinces and beynd, wh will benefit frm reduced envirnmental pllutin. The prject will deliver direct benefits t: (a) MPI, by imprving its capacity t prmte sustainable industrial zne develpment; (b) MONRE, by imprving its mnitring and enfrcement capacity fr industrial pllutin management; and (c) the fur prject prvinces, by strengthening their industrial develpment planning practices and their mnitring and enfrcement capacity. IZs in the fur prvinces will have access t cncessinal financing t cnstruct Centralized Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) and technical assistance t imprve the design, peratin and management f the CETPs. The prject cnsists f three cmpnents: (1) Cmpnent 1: Envirnmental Plicy, Mnitring and Enfrcement; Cmpnent 2: Perfrmance-Based (CETP Financing; Cmpnent 3: Implementatin Supprt. The PDO level results indicatrs are the extents f cmpliance with natinal regulatins fr effluent discharge frm prject-financed and nn-prject-financed industrial znes in the fur prject prvinces. B. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW (DD) Purpse: RP1326 V5 REV The Bank received a prpsal frm the Vietnam Envirnment Prtectin Fund (VEPF) wh requested the Bank t cnsider financing the installatin f an Centralized Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) fr Phu My 3 IZ (Ba Ria Vung Tau prvince) t imprve the envirnmental pllutin management fr the IZ. Since the CETP that Phu My 3 IZ required is lcated inside the IZ, and that the land fr IZ was acquired frm lcal residents (with its Overall Cmpensatin Plan being apprved prir t the cut-f-date f May 2010), the Bank cnducted a due diligence f the land acquisitin fr the IZ as per the Prject Envirnmental and Scial Management Framewrk (ESMF) befre deciding, alng with envirnmental due diligence, financing the installatin f the prpsed CETP. 1

2 Objective: The cntext f this prject cnstitutes hw the DD is carried ut. First f all, it shuld be nted that under this prject, nly Industrial Znes that have their Overall Cmpensatin Plan apprved by the Prvincial Authrities prir t the cut-ff date f May 2010 (the date f prject identificatin missin) are eligible fr prceeding a due diligence. Secndly, since the cmpensatin payment/supprt prvisin/resettlement activities (assciated with the IZ area requiring DD) were already cmpleted by the time the prpsal was submitted, and given that Overall Cmpensatin Plan apprved by the gvernment in 2008 (prir t the date f prject identificatin missin), the bjective f the due diligence fr this IZ is: a) Evaluate if all invluntary resettlement activities assciated with the IZ area (requiring due diligence) were carried ut in full cmpliance with regulatins f the Gvernment f Vietnam (by the time f cmmencing resettlement), b) Cnfirm if the cmpensatin payment/prvisin f supprt/resettlement dne by lcal gvernment (including its resettlement utcme) meets the bjectives f Bank s OP 4.12, c) Check if there are any resettlement related issues that remain pending at the time f Bank s due diligence - t prpse fllw-up actin(s). Since the Bank is expected t finance the installatin f the CETP nly (as per PAD), the DD fcused n invluntary resettlement activities that happen with land areas that are required fr a) the installatin f the CETP 1 itself, and b) the area (within the IZ) which the prpsed CEPT is expected t prvide its service. Tw key elements that are f particular imprtance fr this DD include a review t (i) cnfirm if an effective Grievance Redress Mechanism have been existing (t respnd t cmplaints, queries r any aspects related t the n-ging resettlement); and (ii) mnitr the livelihd restratin prcess f the peples affected by the land taking fr the purpse f the IZ. If Gvernment regulatins applied are nt cnsistent with the Wrld Bank s safeguards plicy bjectives, a remedial actin plan will be prepared fr implementatin by the IZ subject t the Bank s clearance prir t implementatin. This due diligence was cnducted by Bank s Cnsultant - under the guidance f Bank s Scial Develpment Specialists. The DD reprt was prepared by Bank s cnsultant, with additinal inputs frm Bank s Scial Develpment Specialists. 1 In this prject, the CETP service area is defined as being: i) the land area within the IZ physically ccupied by the CETP which will be financed by the prject, r the area already ccupied by an CETP if the prject is upgrading it; and ii) the entire land area within the IZ that will be ccupied by industries that are r will be serviced by the CETP. 2

3 C. METHODS This due diligence was cnducted in accrdance with the prject s ESMF. The methds emplyed include: (i) desk review f secndary infrmatin (including prject dcuments prvided by the GV (see details in Appendix 1); (ii) interviews and cnsultative meetings with representatives frm affected husehlds, relevant gvernment fficials, Phu My 3 IZ, and cmmune/village leaders (see details in Appendix 2). Field trip t the IZ was als cnducted t validate the review results. Field visits. The first field visit was cnducted by the Bank s Scial Develpment Specialist (fr field bservatin and assessing the financing eligibility as per prject s ESMF). Fllw-up field visit was made by Bank s cnsultant t hld interview/cnsultatin with lcal peple, including representatives frm affected husehlds, cmmune s Peple s Cmmittee, and IZ wner. Sampling. Since the ttal number f affected husehlds (assciated with the CETP installatin lcatin and its service area) are large (241 husehlds), a stratified sample was taken (as belw) t ensure the representativeness in the cnsultatin with affected husehlds (by the magnitude f impact, and by IZ area). As such, a ttal f thirty nine (39) husehlds were invited t the cnsultatin/ interviews per the DD bjective. N Type f Impacts HH lsing agricultural land/structures In which, number f HHs lsing 30% r mre f their ttal land hlding.

FINDINGS This sectin presents sme basic infrmatin abut the Phu My 3 IZ (which the due diligence cvers), fllwed by an evaluative review f varius factrs with a view t assessing the level f cmpliance f resettlement activities implemented by the gvernment. Finally, the sectin presents a list f key safeguards issues that remain pending by the time the DD reprt was finalized. 3

4 a) Basis Infrmatin f the Phu My 3 IZ: Phu My 3 IZ was established in Octber The IZ has a planned ttal area f 999ha which has been develped in tw phases. While Phase 1 aims t meet the initial demand f the Clients, Phase 2 will be further develped if the demand becmes clearer. Presently, Phase 1, which cvers an area f ha) has been ready with regards t land t prceed with infrastructure develpment. The Phase 1 will need t have an CETP installed with a capacity sufficient t cver all the industries that will be active within the Phase 1 area. It is nted the while land acquisitin required fr Phase 1 has been cmpleted by the time the due diligence exercise, land acquisitin fr Phase 2 has nt been cmpleted. The land area required fr installatin f the prpsed CETP is 8.06 ha while CETP service area accunts fr ha. As field visit indicated, the area where the new CETP is t be installed, the area that the prpsed CETP will serve (within Phase 1) are cmpletely vacant, which is ready fr the CETP installatin. The land acquisitin (fr Phase 1) was implemented by Tan Thanh District Resettlement Cmmittee. The land acquisitin cmmenced in early Within the ha prepared fr Phase 1, a ttal f 231 husehlds were affected, f which 15 husehlds were affected by the CETP installatin area and 216 husehlds by the CETP service area. All the affected area is agricultural and agrfrestry land (with n peple residing n it). Thus, nne f the affected husehlds need t physically relcate their huses. With regards t land use prir t land acquisitin, mst f the land was fr agr-frestry purpse (246.7 ha), ha is agricultural land (f lw prductin value), and the rest is paddy land. The table belw presents a summary f IZ impacts with regards t land acquisitin (by CETP installatin area, and CETP service area). This is fr Phase 1. Table 2: Summary f prject s land acquisitin.
