11.

The site clearance and resettlement will continue to be updated by PMU-TL until the

completion. In beginning stage, there was an independent monitoring of land acquisition and
resettlement of affected households to implement the monitoring. The monitoring results are
objective and timely to meet the compensation requirements of households. However, the
relocation is a process that depends on the implementation steps and can not be acquired at
once with the following details:
-

Inventory of property damage of households within the scope of land acquisition

-

Make compensation plans for resident compensation payment and publicize these plans.

-

After obtaining the consent of the people; at that time, make a compensation decision.

-

Resolve arising complaints to speed up the payment process for households.

-

Site handover for the project.

-

To relocate the affected people by the project for removal resident resettlement.

-

Organize the forms of income restoration etc.

12.

In addition to these solutions, income recovery assistance for affected people has to

be relocated to new places, including those who are disadvantaged in the affected
communities through the social organizations such as Veterans Association, Farmers'
Association, Women's Union, etc.
13.

Currently, all three districts of Ha Trung, Cam Thuy and Ba Thuoc are developing

programs in line with the actual schedule, informal courses (to be shown in details in the next
report IMR).

crossroad at the beginning of route and improves two reverse curves with small radius
(R=30-40M) which is the black spot of traffic accident on the route, (ii) section at Km
70+100 – Km 72+500 has total length of bypass of 2.25 km. The bypass is on the right

standard. The designed speech is 80 Km/h. The road width is 12m wide. The road
surface is 7m wide. The minimum curve is R250. The culvert design load is H30-XB80.
The bridge design load is HL93. Speed at intersection at the right direction reaches 40
km/h and at the left direction to NH 1A reaches 15 km/h. The Flyover Bridge at central
line passing railway and NH 1A has the length of 372.0 m which ensures clearance
height of railway of 6.55 m. The intersection is arranged by shape of T-junction is land
and middle separator of NH 1A at Km 300 + 570 is widened to turn left; Pedestrian
Flyover bridge is supplemented to pass NH 1A and railway which is 150m far from the
current intersection to the South direction.

Other Remarks on Livelihood Restoration

General difficulties: For DCARBs, the IRP implementation is currently new as the

DCARBs staff have not considerably experienced in the ADB projects. Therefore, during the
IRP implementation, there should be supports from the other stakeholders for the
implementation. In March 2018, DCARB of Ba Thuoc, Cam Thuy and Ha Trung made written
to ADB and TL-PMU for requests Consultant to support in preparation and implementation of
the detailed IRP, but TL-PMU not yet approved.
67.

Households' livelihood needs may change by the time because this will inevitably face

difficulties for the stakeholders when implementing activities.

Objectives of Consultation and Participation

Implementation of consultation with the affected HHs, affected organizations and

community will reduce the conflicts and minimize delay of the project. Based on this, it
enables the project to update the resettlement plan which is compliance with the needs,
benefit of the affected HHs and organizations.
69.

The objectives of the public consultation and participation of local people include: (i)

ensuring the participation of the affected HHs, affected organizations and local community
into the progress of design, preparation and making decision of project; (ii) disseminating all
the information, activities related to the project to APs; (iii) collecting the idea, concern, need
or priority of affected people; (iv) ensuring that all the APs notified all the decision which is
related directly to their income and living standard; and (v) ensuring the transparency in
implementation of land acquisition, compensation and assistance payment, and relocation.
