3. OUTSTANDING RESETTLEMENT ISSUES

17. This section presents the outstanding issues regarding resettlement.

3 One HH can be allocated more than one plot, if extended families jointly reside on the same acquired lot and are eligible for separate HH registration books.


13

3.1 Land Assets in the 4 Interchanges

3.1.1 Interchange with NH 30 (CW1A)

18. MOT approved clearance of the Interchange with NH 30 (CW1A) in letter No: 3259/BGTVT-

CQLXD issued on 29 March 2017 to ensure traffic safety, creating favorable condition for people to live and cultivate as proposed by Dong Thap PPC and Cuu Long CIPM.

19. The date of the public announcement by local authorities (cut-off date) is the 26 July 2017. DMS was conducted in July 2017. A qualified appraiser was hired by Dong Thap PPC to carry out a replacement cost survey (RCS) The RCS reports, which includes current market rates as proposed by

the qualified appraiser, was approved by Dong Thap PPC. In January 2018, Dong Thap PPC authorized to PC of Cao Lanh district to approve the compensation plan. It was approved on 13 March, 2018.

Budget has not been yet allocated for payment.

20. A RP for the loops of the interchange with NH30 was prepared in September 2017 based on DMS data and RCS. It was revised in October 2017 to include the land acquisition for the relocation of the 220 kV Transmission Line which is crossing the interchange. Comments from ADB were received in December 2017 and a revised version was submitted to ADB on 10 January 2018 and was approved by ADB in February 2018. A total of 77 HH area affected by the clearance of the loops and 29 HH will need to be relocated.

3.1.2 Three other Interchanges

21. On 20 August, 2018, MOT had a meeting with Dong Thap PPC and issued the notice No. 428/TB-BGTVT: Due to lack of capital, Dong Thap People's Committee agreed with MOT that land acquisition will not be implemented for three other interchanges. CIPM is assigned to study and propose technical solutions to enable people to have access to the loops and continue agricultural production, ensuring social security and traffic safety. CIPM is conducting the nest steps.

3.2 Relocation of 220 kV Electric Line in An Binh Commune

22. Two towers (No. 9 and 10) of the 220-kV transmission line Cai Lay - Cao Lanh and Cao Lanh - Thot Not, are located within the IC with NH 30 (see Figure 1-3) in package CW1A (An Binh commune). Based on MOT standards, the clearance between the existing line and the new bridge above NH30 (Dinh Chung bridge) is not sufficient. Therefore, the relocation of the line is needed. We should note that the new TL will cross one of the loop with the IC of NH 30. Four new towers will be necessary.

23. On 10/19/2015, CIPM sent a document No. 3900/ CIPM/QLDACL to Dong Thap PPC to request relocation of the 220-kV transmission line out of Dinh Chung Bridge.

24. DMS was conducted in July 2017 and a RCS was conducted in August 2017. A total of 33 will be affected, 1 HH will need to relocate. RCS was approved by PPC. In January 2018, Dong Thap PPC

authorized to PC of Cao Lanh district to approve the compensation plan. It was approved in March 2018.

25. A RP addendum for the loop of the interchange with NH30 which also includes the land acquisition/compensation for the relocation of the line has been submitted to CIPM on 11 October 2017 based on DMS and RCS. Comments from ADB were received in December 2017 and a revised version was submitted to ADB on 10 January 2018. 26/34 HH received compensation; 7 HH did not receive compensation and requested to increase allowance rate for land use limitation.


14

26. Relocation of 220 kV TL started in August, 2018 and constructed 2 towers; 2 remaining towers have not been constructed because HH have not handed over land. It’s expected to finish in December, 2018.

3.3 Physical Demarcation of the Safety Corridor for Stage 1 CMDCP

27. As per Vietnamese regulations, the investor (CIPM) has to prepare the plan for removing demarcation marks and to submit the plan to Dong Thap PPC for approval and implementation. CIPM

assigned the contractor (VNC) to prepare documents. The contractor prepared documents and CIPM submitted them to PPC.

28. On 15 February, CIPM in letter No.: 385/CIPM-QLDACL requested Dong Thap PPC to get the legal basis for completing the design alternative of marks for the safety corridor as per the instruction of MOT by the letter No-. 13807/BGTVT-CQLXD dated 22 November, 2016.

29. On 17/08/2017, CIPM sent letter No.2273/CIPM-QLDACL to DOC. In this letter, CIPM indicated that Cao Lanh City PC only provided the boundary lines of some roads in Cao Lanh City (it is not the

boundary line for the CMDRCP). CIPM requested PC of Cao Lanh City to provide the boundary line in order to install the demarcation markers. Until now, PC of Cao Lanh City didn’t answer.

30. CIPM is directing the contractor (VND) to revise the design documents according to MOT’s comments.

3.3.1 Rental Allowance

31. Rental allowance was not paid to all HH in Can Tho City. Of the remaining 12 HHs (8 HHs in Vinh Trinh and 4 HHs in Thoi Thuan), 10 received these allowances. 2 HHs have not received rental

allowances: 1 HH went to oversee (Tran Van Dung: 10,200,000 VND), 1 HH cannot be contacted (Nguyen Phuoc Hai: 1,200,000 VND).

4. GRIEVANCE PROCESS

4.1 Resettlement and Land Acquisition Grievances

37. MOT in letter 12079/BGTVT-CQLXD dated 26 October, 2017 approved in principle the implementation of survey and assessment of land subsidence at CMDCP to determine compensation

for the affected households as requested by ADB/DFAT at Cuu Long CIPM. Bas ed on the above approval, Cuu Long CIPM is assigned appraisal and approval for the TOR and cost estimate for survey and assessment of land subsidence in the project.

38. Cuu Long CIPM approved the TOR, cost estimate for survey and evaluation work of the land subsidence in Decision 3625/QD-CIPM dated 8 December, 2017. On December 2017, CIPM sent letter

3643/CIPM-QLDACL to Lap Vo district PC to inform of the land survey and to ask Lap Vo district to put the necessary resources to support the implementation of the land survey.

39. The land survey was undertaken by the N&N Construction Investment Consultant JSC. The survey started on 6 February 2018 and was completed on 31 March 2018. The objectives of the survey were to identify areas affected by land subsidence and the severity of impacts (difference of ground level between pre-construction period and current situation) along sections where VCM was

used (i.e. 6 km).

40. The land survey was conducted in collaboration with local authorities and affected farmers.

Representatives of local authorities join the meeting. Each affected farmer was also present at the time of the measurement. Each affected farmer had to present an identity card, or the family registration book and proof of ownership (i.e. Land Use Right Certificate or other documents).

41. Results of the survey were submitted to farmers during the workshops conducted on 21 May 2018 in Binh Thanh commune, on 24 May 2018 in Binh Thanh Trung commune, and on 25 May 2018

in My An Hung B commune. During these workshops, each HH received an individual form with the following information: i) map of the plot of land with identification of the area affected by land

subsidence; ii) area affected by land subsidence; iii) average depth of land subsidence; and iv) volume of topsoil needed to restore land. 42. A total of 383 plots4 (247 HHs) have been recorded as affected by land subsidence and the

area affected is 66.78 ha. This area considers the adjustments of measurement following complaint

from farmers.

4 The data from the land survey measurement are by plot. Compensation will be done by plot

for review and uploading on ADB website. This activity is now completed.

5.2 Disbursement

48. Can Tho City has disbursed 88.3% of the IRP budget and Dong Thap Province 99%. We should

note that, all expenses/fees for staff have to be justified. The non-used fund will be not disbursed by CHLFD without justification.

5.3 Liquidation of Funds

49. Regarding liquidation of funds used for the IRP, CLFD Can Tho prepared Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) in December 2015 (1,971,847,991 VND) and July 2016 (1,599,668,267 VND), and January 2018 (434,783,709 VND) and submitted to CIPM. CHLFD Dong Thap submitted the first IPC in August 2016 (8,477,199,081 VN), the second IPC in July 2017 (13,301,662,373 VND) and the third IPC in January 2018 (514,200,255 VND).

6. SOCIAL ACTION PLAN

50. Annex 4 presents the status of implementation of the Social Action Plan (SAP). The national

gender and social development specialist resigned by the end of December 2017; she will not be replaced.

51. A gender social completion report is planned to be prepared by the end of November 2018.

6.1 Employment of Female Workers by Contractor

52. Up to the end of October 2018, women represented 3.7% of all staff (11.2 % of management and office staff and 1.3% of workers). We should note that most of the civil works are now close to completion and a large number of staff have been demobilized. As per former reports, the number of women is more important among management and office staff (i.e. secretary, accountant, interpreter etc.) the workers. To explain why few women are employed as workers, contractors gave gender

stereotype reasons such as women do not like hard work and working outside under hot weather.

6.3 Name on LURC

60. Table 14 shows that still few LURC have been issued in both name of husband and wife. For the 127 HH who received a LURC (mainly in RS) in Dong Thap Province, only 11 HH have both name on

LURC while 65 are under husband’s name and 51 under the wife’s name.

61. As per Vietnamese Law, new LURC has to be issued in both name of husband and wife. However, by customs, new LURC follows the provisions of the former LURC (i.e. if only the husband


19

name was on the former LURC, the new LURC will also be under the husband’s name). The explanation given is because the land came from inheritance from the husband or the wife’s family and they want to keep ownership. DDIS is working with WU to issue new LURC in both name.
