DEFINITION OF TERMS

Compensation – This is payment given in cash or in kind to affected persons

(APs) at replacement cost or at current market value for

assets and income sources acquired or adversely affected by

the project.

Replacement cost – The level of compensation that is sufficient for an AH or AP

to acquire, build or purchase a replacement of assets

adversely affected by the project. The replacement cost is

calculated at current market price of the affected assets

without deduction for depreciation or salvageable materials

for structures, or of equal productivity or similar attributes in

the case of land where there is no active market. Transaction

costs, administrative charges such as taxes, titling costs, etc.

will be shouldered by the project owner or the executing

agency and not the AH or AP.

Severely affected

households

– This refers to AHs who (i) lose 10% or more of their total

productive assets, (ii) have to relocate, and/or (iii) lose 10%

or more of their total income sources due to the project.

Resettlement and

Ethnic Minority

Development Plan

(REMDP)

– A time-bound action plan that includes objectives, principles,

entitlements, specific activities, responsibilities of concerned

agencies, groups and individuals and budget for the purpose

of addressing the displacement of people from assets,

sources of incomes, homes, and communities towards

reconstructing their disrupted lives and improving or restoring

their standards of living to at least pre-displacement levels.

Replacement Cost

Study

– This refers to the process involved in determining

replacement costs of affected assets based on empirical

data.

Inventory of Losses

(IOL)

– This is the process where all fixed assets (i.e., lands used for

residence, commerce, agriculture, including ponds; dwelling

units; stalls and shops; secondary structures, such as

fences, tombs, wells; trees with commercial value; etc.) and

sources of income and livelihood inside the Project right-of-

way (ROW) are identified, measured, their owners identified,

their exact location pinpointed, and their replacement costs

calculated. Additionally, the severity of impact to the affected

assets and the severity of impact to the livelihood and

productive capacity of APs will be determined.

Detailed Measurement

Survey (DMS)

– With the use of approved detailed engineering drawings, this

activity involves the finalization and/or validation of the

results of the IOL, severity of impacts, and list of APs done

during preparation of resettlement plan (RP).

Affected

person/Affected

– Refers to any person or persons, household, firm, private or

public institution that, on account of changes resulting from

iv

household (AP/AH) the Project, will have its (i) standard of living adversely

affected; (ii) right, title or interest in any house, land

(including residential, commercial, agricultural, forest and/or

grazing land), water resources or any other moveable or

fixed assets acquired, possessed, restricted or otherwise

adversely affected, in full or in part, permanently or

temporarily; and/or (iii) business, occupation, place of work

or residence or habitat adversely affected, with or without

displacement.

Vulnerable groups – These are distinct groups of people who might suffer

disproportionately or face the risk of being further

marginalized by the effects of resettlement and specifically

include: (i) female headed households with dependents, (ii)

disabled household heads, (iii) households falling under the

generally accepted indicator for poverty, (iv) children and the

elderly households who are landless and with no other

means of support, and (v) landless households, (vi)

indigenous people or ethnic minorities.

Entitlement – Refers to a range of measures comprising compensation,

income restoration support, transfer assistance, income

substitution, relocation support, etc. which are due to the

APs, depending on the type and severity of their losses, to

restore their economic and social base.

Resettlement

– This includes all measures taken to mitigate any and all

adverse impacts of a project on AP property and/or

livelihoods, including compensation, relocation (where

relevant), and rehabilitation as needed.

Land acquisition – Refers to the process whereby an individual, household, firm

or private institution is compelled by a public agency to

alienate all or part of the land it owns or possesses to the

ownership and possession of that agency for public purposes

in return for compensation at replacement costs.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 8

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The GMS: Kunming-Hai Phong Transport Corridor: Noi Bai - Lao Cai Highway Project (the

Project for short) is owned by Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) and financed by

Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Project highway has a total length of 264km,

starting at interchange between Bac Thang Long - Noi Bai and National Highway No.2 in

the District of Soc Son, Ha Noi City, crossing the provinces of Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen

Bai and Lao Cai before terminating at Bat Xat District, Lao Cai Province. The section of

highway runs through Ha Hoa district, Phu Tho province with total length of 20.9 km (from

km 88 + 750 to km 109 + 650).

As per ADB’s policy, the Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP for

short) for Ha Hoa District was prepared and approved in 2010. In 2015, then, an updated

Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) for Ha Hoa District was

prepared and approved in 2010. In 2015 construction items requiring additional land

acquisition in Ha Hoa District include weak foundation treatment, cracks treatment

construction of the diversion system for drains in downstream, supplementing frontage

road - section connecting underpass culverts, restoration of frontage road, etc. Therefore,

a REMDP Addendum for Ha Hoa District was prepared for the additional land acquisition.

Construction of additional items of the Project will impact on land of 91 HHs with 406

persons. All these HHs lost land due to the project previous acquisition in 2009. Of the

AHs, 35 AHs have DMS completed by DCCSC in January 2015 and have received

compensation and assistance payments for their additionally affected land. For 56

remaining AHs, DMS was conducted in March 2016.

Area to be acquired is 65,983.1 m2 including 60,522.52 m2 of 91 HHs and 5,460.58 m2

under management of Minh Coi CPC and Song Thao Plantation. The total area of

additionally affected land of these HHs is 60,522.52 m2, including 931.78 m2 residential

land, 3,248.65 m2 garden land, 13,607.1 m2 paddy land, 18,531.2 m2 perennial tree land,

4,770.62 m2 annual crops land and 19,433.17 m2 productive forest land. Of 87 HHs

having agricultural land affected, 27 HHs with 120 persons are severely affected. These

HHs were severely affected previously by the Project. There are no more severely

affected HHs and relocation HHs due to this additional land acquisition impacts.

Furthermore, additional construction items will also impact 780 fruit trees (including

mango, longan, jackfruit, star-fruit, pomelo, etc.), 22,311 timber trees (acacia, eucalyptus,

etc.), 165 ornamental trees 4,683 m2 crops (maize, cassava, vegetable, etc.) and 13,607.1

m2 paddy land of 27 HHs (120 persons).

Of households affected by the land acquisition, there are 09 households having structures

such as houses, secondary structures, yard affected. Total area of structures affected by

the additional land acquisition is 953.2 m2 including 279.7 m2 of house, 153.14 m2 of

kitchen and secondary structures, 87.6 m2 of pigsty and 432.76 m2 of yard.

The policy on compensation, assistance and resettlement applied for affected persons

(APs) will be compliant with Project policy as envisaged in the updated REMDP

Addendum 2010. In case the regulations issued by the Provincial People’s Committee

(PPC) provide higher entitlements, compensation, assistance and resettlement for the

additional land acquisition will be in line with the PPC regulations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 9

Information disclosure and public consultation meeting were conducted in all communes

of Bang Gia, Minh Coi, Van Lang, Vo Tranh and Xuan Ang in Ha Hoa District, Phu Tho

Province. The total number of participants is 111, of which 32 participants (28.82%) are

female. Contents of public consultation meetings focused on: (i) Introduction of the

Project, emphasizing additional construction items and land acquisition; (ii) summary of

scope of additional land acquisition impacts; Project policy on additional land acquisition;

(iv) grievance redress mechanism; (v) schedule for REMDP Addendum implementation.

As per the policy on local participation in the Project, AHs need to be informed of updated

information and entitled to participate in the REMDP Addendum implementation.

Grievance redress mechanism will be in compliance with the grievance redress

mechanism outlined in the updated REMDP 2010. This mechanism should ensure that

AH’s grievances will be solved timely and satisfactorily. AHs should know their

entitlements through oral disclosure and documents distributed in consultative meetings

and during compensation and assistance payment process

Total budget of compensation and assistance for additional land acquisition impacts in Ha

Hoa District is VND 1,739,915,567 ($77,865), of which the total cost of compensation and

assistance that was disbursed to AHs is VND 583,506,821 ($26,113). This budget

includes costs of compensation and assistances and administrative costs. VEC will

ensure that costs of resettlement and unexpected costs will be provided in a sufficient and

timely manner in order to meet requirements and objectives of resettlement. Assessment

of compliance in the implementation of compensation and assistance for 35 households

has been conducted during the preparation of the REMDP Addendum.

VEC, through the Noi Bai – Lao Cai Expressway Project Management Unit (NBLCEPMU),

is overall responsible for the satisfactory implementation of resettlement. A Planning and

Site Clearance under NBLCEPMU has been created to provide guidance to the Is. Staffs

of the NBLCEPMU will represent VEC in Committee for Compensation and Site

Clearance (CCSC).

The Provincial and District CCSCs, through the Resettlement Task Force (RTF)

coordinates with NBLCEPMU and with assistance from the Project Supervision

Consultant (PSC), spearheaded the REMDP Addendum.

The Project Supervision Consultant (PSC) will assist the NBLCEPMU and the CCSCs in

ensuring that compensation, assistance and resettlement is carried out according to the

social safeguards laid out in the loan agreement.

PROJECT BACKGROUND 10

A. PROJECT BACKGROUND

GMS: Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor - Noi Bai - Lao Cai Highway Project

(hereinafter referred to as the “Project”) is located within the Kunming-Hai Phong transport

corridor and is a part of the Cooperation Program between six (06) GMS countries

namely, Vietnam, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar and

People's Republic of China (PRC). The Project highway is designed and constructed

according to standard A. The section from Hanoi to Yen Bai has a total length of 121 km

with 4 lanes, 2 emergency stopping lanes and a design speed of 100 km/h. The section

from Yen Bai to Lao Cai has a total length of 123 km with 2 lanes, 2 emergency stopping

lanes and a design speed of 80 km/h. The project construction was commenced in quarter

3 of 2008 and divided into two phases:

- Phase 1:

• Construction of Hanoi - Yen Bai section with 4 lanes and a total length of

121 km.

• Construction of Yen Bai - Lao Cai section with 2 lanes and a total length of

123 km.

- Phase 2: Widening Hanoi – Yen Bai section and Yen Bai – Lao Cai section which

are constructed in Phase 1:

• The section from Hanoi to Yen Bai: widening from 4 lanes to 6 lanes.

• The section from Yen Bai to Lao Cai: widening from 2 lanes to 4 lanes.

• Construction of the last 20km of the Project highway, connecting Noi Bai –

Lao Cai Highway and Kunming – Hekou Highway

The highway project has the total length of 264 km, passing through the area of Hanoi

city, Vinh Phuc province, Phu Tho province, Yen Bai province and Lao Cai province.

There are 76 communes/wards/towns of 18 districts affected by land acquisition activity of

project. The construction activities of Phase 1 of the Project were finished and the

highway was officially inaugurated issuing traffic and put into operation on September 21,

2014. The project highway aims to support the socio-economic development, national

defense, promote the economic development of the Northwest region and connect the

Northwest region with Hanoi capital.

Resettlement and ethnic minority development plans (REMDPs) of 18 districts, provincial

cities and towns in 05 provinces and cities were prepared in 2009 and 2010. These

REMDPs have been all approved and implemented. In early 2014, due to the requirement

on additional acquisition of land for bypass road and frontage roads, REMDP addendum

was prepared for 4 districts including Soc Son (Hanoi City), Phu Ninh (Phu Tho Province),

Van Ban and Bao Thang (Lao Cai Province). These REMDPs were approved by VEC and

ADB and have been implemented.

Currently, project provinces have requested for additional acquisition of land along the

highway that is no longer viable for cultivation as a result of erosion, landslide or cement

deposition resulting from the highway drainage; land adjacent to the inlet of the highway

drainage and other areas of land affected by design adjustments (culvert, interchange,

frontage road,…) in 27 communes of 11 districts in Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai and Lao

Cai Province. According to these reasons, the REMDP addendums for 2nd addition are

PROJECT BACKGROUND 11

required to prepare for districts have additional acquisition of land, included Ha Hoa

district of Phu Tho province. The construction items required additional land acquisition in

Ha Hoa district includes weak foundation treatment, cracks treatment construction of the

diversion system for drains in downstream, supplementing frontage road - section

connecting underpass culverts, restoration of frontage road.

The Noi Bai – Lao Cai highway goes through the area of Minh Coi, Van Lang, Vo Tranh,

Bang Gia, Xuan Ang, Quan Khe and Hien Luong commune of Ha Hoa district. The total

length of the highway section in Ha Hoa district is 20.9 km (from km 88 + 750 to km 109 +

650). However, in additional land acquisition phase, project only acquires the land of

households in Minh Coi, Van Lang, Vo Tranh, Bang Gia and Xuan Ang commune.

SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS 12

B. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS

Additional land required

Based on requests of local people and local authorities of Bang Gia, Minh Coi, Van Lang,

Xuan Ang and Vo Tranh Commune in Ha Hoa District, Phu Tho Province as well as the

results of field survey, VEC released decisions on additional land acquisition to submit to

Phu THo PPC for approval. Details of these decisions are shown in the table below.

During collection of documents and working with Phu Tho LARPMU, DCCSC, the

Consultant also collected further information on scope of additional land acquisition in Van

Lang (not listed in VEC’s land acquisition decisions).

2.1. Mitigation measures for additional land acquisition

To minimize impacts of land acquisition and other negative impacts of the Project on

production and lives of local people, the following mitigation measures have been

considered:

- Local people halted their cultivation on agricultural land to be additionally acquired

or planted short-term crops only.

- For construction of frontage road connecting underpass culverts or drains for

downstream drainage system, design of these items was considered in order to

minimize acquisition of households’ land.


- In addition, construction activities will be monitored by local people, community

and local authorities to ensure that there will be no impact on the surrounding area.

2.2. Scope of project impacts

Additional land acquisition of the Project will affect 91 HHs (406 persons) living in Bang

Gia, Minh Coi, Van Lang, Vo Tranh and Xuan Ang Commune. Most of affected land of

these HHs is productive forest land, annual crops land and paddy land. Of 91 HHs having

land affected, there are 09 HHs losing residential land, 13 HHs losing garden land, 12

HHs losing paddy land, 34 HHs losing perennial crops land, 31 HHs losing land for other

annual crops and 19 HHs losing productive forest land (one HH may have more than one

type of land affected).

Of the AHs, 35 AHs (38.46%) had DMS completed by DCCSC in January 2015 and had

received compensation and assistance payments for their additionally affected land. For

56 remaining AHs, DMS was conducted in March 2016.

Impacts on land

In the additional land acquisition of the Project, a total area of 60,522.52 m2 of 91 HHs

with 406 persons will be affected including 931.78 m2 residential land, 3,248.65 m2 garden

land, 13,607.1 m2 paddy land, 18,531.2 m2 perennial crops land, 4,770.62 m2 annual

crops land and 19,433.17 m2 productive forest land. Each HH will lose an average of

665.08 m2 land. In addition to land of households, the Project will also affect public land

under management of CPCs, specifically 110 m2 paddy land under management of Minh

Coi CPC and 5,350.58 m2 productive forest land under management of Song Thao

Plantation.

All 91 AHs have LURC for their affected land. Therefore, they have legal rights for their

affected land and are entitled to compensation and assistances for the affected land.

Of 87 HHs losing agricultural land by the project additional construction items, there are

60 marginally affected HHs (273 persons) losing less than 10% of total agricultural land

holding and 27 severely affected HHs (120 persons) including 12 HHs (54 persons) losing

from 10%-30%, 07 HHs (31 persons) losing from 30%-70% and 08 HHs (35 persons)

losing more than 70%. Detailed scope of impacts on land in affected communes is as

Impacts on livelihoods

As Ha Hoa District is a rural area, agriculture is the main occupation of all AHs. These

HHs are all engaged in rice farming, planting perennial trees, fruit trees and other timber

trees.

Of 91 AHs, except 04 HHs losing only residential land, 87 remaining HHs have agricultural

land affected including paddy land, garden land, annual crops land, perennial crops land

and productive forest land. As per the agreed REMDP and REMDP Addendum,

households affected by this additional acquisition were affected by the project previous

land acquisition and participated in the project IRP.

At present, according to the results of SES conducted in Bang Gia, Minh Coi, Van Lang,

Vo Tranh and Xuan Ang Commune, 76 AHs have main occupation based on cultivation

and livestock breeding (83.51%). Monthly income from agriculture of these AHs is VND

5,100,000. The information collected from focus-group discussions and in-depth

interviews indicates that the households affected by additional land acquisition have still

faced many difficulties; their lives depend on agricultural production so the additional land

acquisition will impact on their economy as well as their income.

Although agriculture is main income of most of AHs (81.3%), income from agriculture does

not present a high percentage (31.9%). Main income of these HHs is from wages.

Although the income is not stable but their wage is quite high, from VND100,000-

200,000/day. Therefore, income from wages is income of many households (35.2%). As a

result, most households (85.7%) have monthly income more than VND 2,000,000. In

addition, of 91 affected households, 3 households have monthly income of less than VND

1,000,000 (3.3%); 3 households have monthly income from VND 1,000,000 to 1,490,000,

(3%); and 7 HHs have monthly income from VND1,500,000 to 1,900,000 million (7.7%).

Interviewed HHs have evaluated that quality of public facilities is medium. Though

electricity is from the national grid, it is still week and unreliable. Quality of water is

assessed medium; water is clear without sediment and other substances. Quality of inter-

village roads was evaluated medium as the roads are not fully concreted and many

sections are inundated and muddy in the rainy season. Quality of drainage system and

irrigation system were evaluated medium because inundation and waterlogging have still

happened in the rainy season and irrigation canals are not entirely concreted.

Gender issues are not sensitive or concerned issues in the affected communes in general

and in affected households in particular. Percentage of male and female members sharing

works is relatively high. Specifically, 84.62% of HHs having male and female members

sharing cultivation; 59.34% of HHs having both male and female members participating

public meetings; 54.95% of HHs having both male and female members making decisions

and 75.82% of HHs having both male and female members participating in mass

organizations. The following tables describe percentage of male and female members

REPLACEMENT COST STUDY 48

E. REPLACEMENT COST STUDY

5.1. Objectives

The Replacement Cost Study is conducted to calculate compensation rates for affected

land, structures, trees, crops and other income not generated from land (ex: business, fish

farming, etc.) to ensure compensation for affected households at replacement cost.

This RCS has been conducted to establish compensation rates for affected land, assets

on land and trees, crops by additional acquisition of land. RCS has been implemented by

project consultant in September 2015 and updated in August 2016. The results of this

RCS will be used to estimate compensation price with fully replacement price as required

in ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS 2009).

As mentioned above, the implementation of additional acquisition only affects some

assets, so this RCS only focuses primarily on affected properties by additional land

acquisition, without referring to all common types of assets as other implemented surveys

in 2008.

5.2. Methods

The market price is the amount for which asset should exchange ownership on the date

of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after

proper marketing in which the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and

without compulsion or restriction.

Replacement cost of an asset is calculated at prevailing current market rate plus any

transaction costs and other administrative charges (if any) to replace the loss of this asset.

Legal documents used for the RCS include:

Documents of the Government and related Ministries:

- Law on prices No.11/2012/QH13 of June 20, 2012;

Documents of Phu Tho Provincial People’s Committee relating compensation assistance

and resettlement:

- Decision No. 24/2014/QĐ-UBND of Phu Tho PPC dated 29/12/2014, promulgating

prices of land for a period of 05 years (2015-2019) in Phu Tho Province.

- Decision No.11/2014/QĐ-UBND dated 10/9/2014 of Phu Tho PPC, detailing a

number of contents on compensation, assistance and resettlement and

compensation unit prices of structures and crops, trees in the event of land

acquisition by the State in Phu Tho Province.

Calculation of replacement cost was conducted based on the information collected from

desk study and interviews with affected and non-affected people in the affected area.

Desk study focused on relevant documents, Government’s regulations at central and local

levels. However, these documents only play as supporting documents.

Since the objective of the RCS is to determine reasonable replacement costs of affected

assets, the evidences collected on the scene were considered as a key factor to calculate

these costs. Direct interviews with people in the affected area, including those whose

assets affected by the Project and those who are not affected, provided reliable data for

calculating replacement cost; and the independent commercial transaction in normal

market conditions.

Land: Project consultant conducted 32 interviews with officers of District Division of

Natural Resources and Environment and District Land use right registration office,

affected households and unaffected households to determine (i) recent land use rights

transfer in the area and (ii) price, at which owners (affected and non-affected persons) are

willing to sell their land; (iii) transaction costs involved such as administrative charges,

taxes, registration and titling costs. Additionally acquired land of 91 AHs is mainly

agricultural land (paddy land, garden land, land for other annual crops, land for perennial

crops and forest land) and residential land. Interviewed affected households and

community opined that there are no transactions of residential land and agricultural land in

recent 12 month-period in the locality. Compensation unit prices of residential land and

agricultural land in the Project area as per Decision No. 24/2014/QĐ-UBND of Phu Tho

PPC are substantially reasonable.

Source: Results of RCS, August 2016

A comparison between the compensation unit prices of land under Decision No.

24/2014/QĐ-UBND of Phu Tho PPC and those AHs expect to receive indicates that there

is a minor difference between the prices of the PPC and the surveyed prices. The

Consultant consulted with AHs and concerned stakeholders about the PPC’s

compensation unit prices and all AHs agreed upon the unit prices. In addition, as per

Decision No.11/2014/QĐ-UBND dated 10/9/2014 of Phu Tho PPC, apart from

compensation for affected land, AHs losing agricultural land will also receive assistance

for job transition and creation equal to 2 times the compensation price of affected

agricultural land. As a result, the total amount of compensation and assistances that AHs

will receive is equivalent to 3 times the compensation price of affected agricultural land.

Affected households opined that the level of compensation is acceptable and sufficient to

buy a new land with the same area, position and production conditions.

Structures: Objective of the RCS for structures is to determine if the compensation unit

price of structures (house, yard, wall, etc.) issued by Phu Tho PPC is equal to, lower or

higher than the average market price of structures. Information used as a base for

determination of replacement cost collected from interviews with structure owners.

Content of the interviews include cost of building structures, costs of construction

materials in the locality. The results of the interviews indicate that compensation price of

structures issued by Phu Tho PPC is reasonable. All AHs agreed upon this compensation

unit price.

Crops and trees: Objective of the RCS for crops and trees is to determine whether the

compensation unit price of affected crops and trees issued by Phu Tho PPC is equal to,

lower or higher than the average market price of the same type of crops and trees. Basis

of the RCS is to determine average market price of each type of crops and trees.

Information used as a base for determination of replacement cost was collected from

interviews with 30 owners of crops and trees in the locality. Content of the interviews

include the price, at which owners are willing to sell each type of their trees and the crops

(during three recent years) and the sales price of outputs of different types of crops and

trees in the market. The results of the interviews indicate that compensation price of crops

and trees issued by Phu Tho PPC is reasonable. All AHs agreed upon this compensation

unit price.

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 52

F. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

The grievance redress mechanism for additional land acquisition of project will be in line

with the mechanism specified in the updated REMDP 2010. Favourable conditions will be

created for affected people to raise their complaint/grievance. As per the prepared

grievance redress mechanism, grievances will be solved through 4 steps. Affected people

will not have to shoulder all administrative and legal fees that might be incurred in

the resolution of grievances and complaints. The Grievance redress mechanism is

presented in detail in the agreed REMDP and its Addendum.

POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK 53

G. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

7.1. Relevant Laws and Regulations of Vietnam

The Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (2013, effective from 01 January,

2014) confirms the right of citizens to own and protects the ownership of house and

production materials of citizens – compensation by market rate is made for impacts by the

projects implementing for the purposes of national defense, security or public benefits

(Article 32). Similarly, organizations and individuals have land use rights and the rights are

protected by laws –and the in-case of land recovery for the purposes of national defense,

security and socioeconomic development, compensation shall follow provisions of laws

(Article 54). In addition, the Government has enacted a number of laws, decrees and

regulations that constitute the legal framework for land acquisition, compensation and

resettlement. The principal documents include the Land Law No. 45/2013/QH13; the

land acquisition and resettlement. There are several aspects of this Land Law 2013 which

are similar to the policy objectives, and principles of the ADB safeguards on involuntary

resettlement. The Law stipulates compensation by specific rate (the methodology to

identify of specific cost is similar to this to determine replacement cost), resettlement sites

must be developed and fully completed before relocation of APs; and various assistance

for life stabilization.

and impacts on other assets of APs, entitlements to compensation and assistance,

for affected households, grievance redress mechanism, compensation and

assistance payments and resettlement schedule, etc. will be disclosed to APs in

Vietnamese language including the distribution of PIB- prior to submission of the

REMDP Addendum to ADB for review and approval;


▪ Resettlement identification, planning and management will ensure that gender

concerns are incorporated including gender-specific consultation and information

disclosure. This includes special attention to guarantee women’s assets, property,

and land-use rights, and to ensure the restoration of their income and living

standards.

▪ An effective Grievance Redress Mechanism is established for hearing and

resolving grievances during implementation of the addendum.

Appendix 4: Project Information Booklet (PIB)

INTRODUCTION

The Project was approved by Asian Development Bank (ADB) on 14 December 2007. The

Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) of the Ministry of Transport (MOT) is the project

executing agency.

The Project highway has a total length of 264km, starting at interchange between Bac

Thang Long - Noi Bai and National Highway No.2 in the District of Soc Son, Ha Noi City,

crossing the provinces of Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai and Lao Cai before terminating at

Bat Xat District, Lao Cai Province.

The project construction is divided into 2 phases:

• Phase 1:

- Construction of Noi Bai – Yen Bai section with 4 lanes with the total length of

121km.

- Construction of Yen Bai – Lao Cai section with 2 lanes with the total length of

123km.

• Phase 2: Widening of Hanoi – Yen Bai section and Yen Bai – Lao Cai section

constructed in phase 1:

- Widening Noi Bai – Yen Bai section from 4 lanes into 6 lanes.

- Widening Yen Bai – Lao Cai section from 2 lanes into 4 lanes.

Construction of the last 20km of the Project highway, connecting Noi Bai – Lao Cai

Highway and Kunming – Hekou Highway.

The first phase of the Project was commenced in Q3/2008 with the total length of 244km

from Hanoi City to Lao Cai City and the highway was officially inaugurated issuing traffic

and put into operation on September 21, 2014. The second phase is to be implemented.

The Noi Bai – Lao Cai highway goes through the area of Minh Coi, Van Lang, Vo Tranh,

Bang Gia, Xuan Ang, Quan Khe and Hien Luong commune of Ha Hoa district. The total

length of the highway section in Ha Hoa district is 20.9 km (from km 88 + 750 to km 109 +

650). However, in additional land acquisition phase, project only acquires the land of

households in Minh Coi, Van Lang, Vo Tranh, Bang Gia and Xuan Ang commune.

SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION

Additional land acquisition of the Project will affect 91 HHs (406 persons). Of 91 HHs

having land affected, there are 09 HHs losing residential land, 13 HHs losing garden land,

12 HHs losing paddy land, 34 HHs losing perennial crops land, 31 HHs losing land for

other annual crops and 19 HHs losing productive forest land (one HHs may have more

than one type of land affected).

In the additional land acquisition of the Project, a total area of 60,522.52 m2 of 91 HHs

with 406 persons will be affected including 931.78 m2 residential land, 3,248.65 m2 garden

land, 13,607.1 m2 paddy land, 18,531.2 m2 perennial crops land, 4,770.62 m2 annual
