GLOSSARY

Census and Inventory If the project needs to change the land use or to acquire land for

project purposes, a census survey of people that will be affected and an Inventory of

affected assets will be undertaken based on the technical design of the project. The

Census will include key socioeconomic information of the project affected persons

(PAPs), such as main occupations, sources of income, and levels of income in order to be

able to determine vulnerable households as well as to establish baseline data for

monitoring livelihood restoration of the PAPs. The Inventory will include a detailed

description of all affected lands, trees, structures, to be acquired permanently or

temporarily in order to complete the Project; the names of the persons entitled to

compensation (from the census); and the estimated full replacement costs, etc.

Compensation (in cash or in kind) for loss of assets and rehabilitation measures to

restore and improve incomes will be determined in consultation with the PAPs.

Compensation for loss of assets will be at replacement costs.

Cut-off-date is the date when the land acquisition purpose (for the WWTP) is officially

and publicly announced by the Compensation Committee of District 2 People’s

Committee (in accordance with the letter approving the location of the WWTP by HCMC

People’s Committee and announcement of land acquisition need (for the WWTP) from

District 2 People’s Committee. Project affected households and local communities will

be informed of the cut-off date
