DEFINITION OF TERMS
i) Displaced Persons (DPs)
Displaced Persons (DPs) include a person or many people, households, agents or organizations,
individuals who are verified by their collected primary information during each inventory and
resettlement plans (RPs), based on surveys and documents and impacted or potentially impacted
directly on their socio-economy condition by the project implementation, due to the followings:
(a) Mandatory land acquisition which leads to:
Relocation or loss of residential place;
Loss of properties or approach ability to properties; or
Loss of income sources or facilities for earn a living, regardless whether DPs have
to be relocated to other residential place; or
(b) Were involuntarily limited to approach to preserving and legally assigning locations, causing
adverse impacts on their livelihodd.
Generally, “DPs” are all of affected people mentioned above.
ii) Compensation
Compensation is the process of payment in cash or in kind to DPs who lose partially or totally their
asset value due to the project. The compensation also includes valuation and return in cash or in kind
for financial and material loss due to the project impacts.
iii) Cut-off date
Cut-off date is the last day of the survey when all of the DPs are inventoried. After the cut-off date, no
more DP will be put into the inventory of DP. The inventory listed all possible DPs, including their
primary information. People who relocated their residential or business locations into the Right of way
after the cut-off date will be not compensated following this policy framework.
iv) Restoration
Restoration is assistance for severely DPs due to loss totally or huge part of their production materials,
income, jobs or other way to earn their livings, in order to supplement the compensation payment for
acquired properties to improve or at least restore their income and living standard as before the project
implementation.
v) Replacement Cost.
A concept is used to calculate the compensation amount for an asset and involves using current
market value plus the transaction costs, which may include taxes, fees, transportation, labor, etc. The
market value is determined by the PMU confirmed by local authorities in consultation with the PAP.
The methods of estimation of prevailing market value should evolve over time to achieve good
practice. (Footnote 11, OP 4.12)
vi) Resettlement
Resettlement mentions all methods done by the project to mitigate any and all of adverse social
impacts of the project on DPs, including the compensation for lost assets and income as well as
provision of other benefits, assistance for restoration of income and resettlement, when necessary.
3
vii) Right of way (ROW)
In this policy framework, the Right of way (ROW) is determined as ROW along the electric line, with its
width, length and height regulated by Decree 106/2005/ND-CP dated on 17 August 2005 on related
voltage. Safeguard for high voltage system is amended by Decree 81/2009/ND-CP on 12 October
2009.
viii) Vulnerable groups
They are those who might suffer disproportionally from adverse project impacts and/or be less able to
access the project benefits and compensation including livelihood restoration and assets
compensations, when compared to the rest of PAP. Vulnerable peoples include people who, by virtue
of gender, ethnicity, age, physical or mental disability, economic disadvantage or social status, may be
more heavily affected by economic or physical displacement than others and who may be more limited
than the population at large in their ability to claim or take advantage of resettlement assistance and
related development benefits. Vulnerable people can be an entire group (like an ethnic minority
community), or individual households (HHs).
ix) The DPs who have no legal status
The DPs who have no legal status are those use land and houses but have no legal use rights; and
individuals or groups who own business stores located in the project areas but have no official
registration and will be affected adversely due to the relocation.
The DPs who have no legal status but have legal rights according to Vietnamese law and verified by
commune People’s Committees (CPCs) will receive the compensation, as long as their properties
which are affected by the project are inventoried in the project population survey which is implemented
prior to the cut-off date published.
The DPs who have no legal status and no legal rights according to Vietnamese law but verified by
CPCs will be assisted instead of compensated in order to achieve the policy objectives, as long as
their properties which are affected by the project are inventoried in the project population survey which
is implemented prior to the cut-off date published.
x) Land use right certificate (LURC)
Land use as well as house and other property attached to land right certificate are issued by the state
authorities to land users so as to protect their legal rights and benefits.

CHAPTER I.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1. Introduction to Trung Son Hydropower Project
Trung Son hydropower project will be constructed on the Ma River, in the territory of Trung Son
commune, Quan Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province. The proposed project aims to provide least-cost
electric power to support Vietnam’s further economic development and improvement of living
standards through the development of hydropower resources in an environmentally sustainable and
socially responsible manner. The proposed project will provide support for EVN’s development of one
of the country’s medium-sized hydropower development projects. The goal is to provide a “good
practice” case of sustainable hydropower development in this core part of Vietnam’s power sector.
Trung Son Hydropower project with its installed capacity of 260 MW and mean annual energy of 1018
GWh is a multipurpose project, providing both power generation and flood control benefits. The
proposed dam is about 40km downstream from Lao PDR, with the reservoir tail about 10km from the
border. The roller compacted concrete dam will be 84,5 m high and have a crest length of 513 meters.
Full supply level is 160 meters. The total reservoir volume will be about 348.50 million m3 including a
flood control volume of about 112 million m3. It will cover an area of about 13.13 km2, inundating
mixed forest and agricultural land.
The project will consist of the following four components:
Dam construction. This will include the construction of the main dam, including the spillway,
intake gate, penstock, power house and discharge channel, supply and installation of the
electromechanical and hydro-mechanical equipment. Auxiliary investments including the
access road and bridges, internal roads and construction camp will be included in this
component, as will consulting services for supervision of construction.
Construction of power lines, one from the switchyard to the connection point into the existing
Hoa Binh – Nho Quan 220kV system and a 110/35kV line from the area of Mai Chau to the
construction site.
Impact mitigation and compensation, which will include the implementation of resettlement,
livelihoods restoration, ethnic minorities, environment management and public health
management plans.
Technical assistance to support preparation of further hydropower projects and improvement
of capacity to meet best international practice for hydropower development.
Total costs are estimated at $412million, of which about $2.9 million is for environmental management
(in addition to remediation requirements placed on construction contractors) and $35.1 million for
resettlement and restoration of peoples’ livelihoods. Vietnam Electricity officially received a loan of
$330 million from International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).

The alignment is divided into 2 sections which can be described in details as follows:
- Section 1: From starting point – G26 15.396m long
Starting from 110/30kV Mai Chau substation expected to build in Tong Dau Commune, Mai Chau
District, Hoa Binh Province. The alignment intersects Mai Chau-Hoa Binh 35kV TL and Hoa Binh- Moc
Chau 110kV TL. The line goes along with the National Highway 15 on its right side with the average
distance from 250 to 500m and many lock angles to avoid the residential areas to G16. The line
passes through the terrain which is relatively flat with productive land for growing rice, mixed with fruit-
trees and hills growing “luong” bamboo. The line traverses Tong Dau Commune, Mai Chau Town,
Chieng Chau Commune, Mai Ha and Van Mai and Mai Hich communes in Mai Chau District, Hoa Binh
Province.
- Section 2: From G26 – tower No. 59 DZ 35kV (REII) supplying power for Ban Uon substation, Phu
Thanh Commune, Quan Hoa District: 4.031m long
From G26, the line turns left and goes along with the inter-commune road on its right side to Trung
Son hydropower plant with the average distance from 100 to 300m. The line passes through the terrain
which is quite complex with many high mountains and hills, canyons and land for growing “luong”
bamboo mixed with thickets. From G37, the line turns lock angle and links to 35kV line of REII Project
in Quan Hoa District, Thanh Hoa Province. The line goes through Van Mai and Mai Hich communes
(Mai Chau District, Hoa Binh Province) and Phu Thanh Commune (Quan Hoa District, Thanh Hoa
Province).

Anticipated impacts of the subproject
Impacts on land acquisition:
Permanent land acquisition relates to land area of electric poles of line 35kV and site of Mai
Chau 110kV substation.
o Total permanent land area of line 35kV: 3,513.41 m2
o Total permanent land area of Mai Chau 110kV substation: 8,336.0m2
Temporary land acquisition will be required for erection of towers and stringing of conductors.
Temporary affected land area most likely depends on implementation plan and camping
arrangement of the implementation unit. ROW of the line is 3m; temporary occupied land area
is estimated to be approximately 58 ha during 1-2 weeks.
These generally will be relatively minor in terms of impacts on household land areas and livelihoods.
Impacts on ethnic minority communities (Ems): Except for the impacts identified, the power line will
pass through the region where (EMs) live, with the majority of the Thai people and a small part of
Muong, Hmong, Dao and Kinh groups. The impacts of the power line on the minority community are
temporary, because it only causes a small impact on some of the households, which is not adverse to
the entire community, as well as their culture. On the other hand, the 35 kV line will deliver power to
the households along the route, including the ethnic minority households in the area so there is a
positive impact in the socio-economic development of these ethnic minority communities.
Impacts on other structures: the subproject does not cause impacts on structures for the national
defense and economic purposes, historical monuments, cultural, dykes, etc.
Impacts on the environment: the line is designed in the scope to minimize the permanently acquired
land area. Some parts pass through the planted forest area; therefore, during construction period,
there will be certain impacts on the environment and socio-economic activities.
Scope of survey
Socio-economic survey, IOL and consultations were conducted with community affected by the
construction of 110kV Mai Chau Substation and the 35 kV power line. Specifically:
Survey, IOL and consultations were carried out with households whose land in the scope of
construction of 110kV substation and towers of the 35kV power line was acquired
permanently;
Survey, IOL and consultations were carried out for households temporarily affected on land in
the Right Of Way of the 35kV line, with the width of the ROW of 3m, measured from the center
to the two sides of the line.
11
CHAPTER III
SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY
3.1. Socio-economic Survey
A socioeconomic survey in order to collect socioeconomic information related to the project affected
people. The socioeconomic survey was conducted by the Development Research and Consultancy
Centre (DRCC) and the data collected through the survey will serve:
To design income restoration and livelihoods improvement program;
As the database to compare the living standards of the households losing land before and
after compensation delivery and resettlement (to be used for the monitoring and evaluation
later in the RP implementation phase).
Survey method
Use of terrain map, actual land use map of the affected communes (scale: 1/50.000) and
planimetric map of 110kV substation, 35kV power line coupled with field surveys to identify
magnitude of losses on land, crops and affected households;
Use of questionnaire to collect statistical information on socio-economic conditions of the
commune for accurate assessment of the actual socio-economic status of the communes in
terms of population and ethnics;
Use of socio-economic survey questionnaire at households level; carry out survey on 30% of
the affected households to grasp the actual socio-economic status of the PAPs;
Use of detailed questionnaire at household level; questionnaire is carried out in 100% of the
households affected by construction of the project to assess the magnitude of impacts on the
households;
Carry out consultation, combined with field works with staffs of the communes, towns and
villages to inspect the field to identify the level of impacts on infrastructures and public
structures;
Conduct in-depth interviews with village elders and leaders, and people who are main source
of information to understand the customs, traditions and spiritual sites and sources of
livelihoods for ethnic minority communities;
Conduct group discussion with EM households to understand opinions of EM communities
with regard to the subprojects;
Conduct community meetings with affected and non-affected households to disclose
information on the subproject and to find out opinions of the community with regard to the
construction of subprojects;
Carry out consultations with staffs of the commune and district-level authority to assess
livelihood restoration potential for affected households in case there is potential impacts on
severely affected households;
Processing of data: IOL data is handled using Excel; SPSS is used to analyze socio-economic
data and quanlitative data is summarized using methods of Nvivo programs;
Survey content
Socio-economic survey
Consultants collected the following information:
Socio-economic information in the locality;
12
The demographic information on the population, especially of the affected households;
Brief description of Ems: Population and information on the culture, society, economic and
relevant institutions; identification of the affected EM groups classified or not as category IP by
World Bank and whether or not it is necessary to apply IP policies of WB;
Land system and legal status;
Social development trend and matters of concern within affected households;
Identification of affected households that need special attention and support.
Survey, IOL conducted along the power line
(i) Survey of losses on residential land and assets on residential land and land of other types on
the same plot as residential land, which belong to the same owner
Based on survey for construction of the line, identification of affected households, survey conducted for
each household includes the following information:
Number of households whose residential and garden land is affected by construction of the
power line;
Area of affected land;
Type and area of affected house;
Structures on land (kitchen, storage and auxiliary works etc.);
Types and quantities of trees in the area of residential and garden land;
Types of assets on land;
Results of survey are indicated in the questionnaire for each household. For affected households that
have to relocate, pictures of household heads and their houses should be included.
(ii) Survey on losses of assets on land along the power line.
Survey is conducted along the power line with borders identified as 3 m from the center on each side
of the line.
Area around the towers will be acquired permanently; the required safety height for trees
planted along the ROW is measured as follows: the distance from the highest point of the tree
to the height of the lowest point of the lowest conductor (when it is sagged to the greatest
extent) can not be lower than 2.0 m.
Under the circumstances that trees outside the ROW of the transmision line, the distance from any
part of the tree if the tree falls down to any part of the transmission line can not be lower than 0.7 m.
Trees that can potentially grow quickly in a short time, which can risk the safety and trees that, after
being trimmed will no longer generate economic value, have to be cut down and it is strictly prohibited
to be replanted. Rice and crops can only be planted 0.5 m away from the tower foundation.
Inventory of losses for trees on acquired land: survey is carried out for the type, quantity and
age of each tree for perennial trees and type and area of each tree for annual trees.
Inventory of losses for assets on land: survey is carried out for different types of camps, other
auxiliary works serving for domestic activities and production activities of the people etc.
Inventory is conducted for other losses as well.
Consultation with relevant parties and in-depth interview
Consultations with local district authority’s offices:
o Office of Ethnicities;
13
o Office of Agriculture;
o Office of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs;
o Women’s Union, Fatherland Front;
o Compensation Board;
Consultation and in-depth interview carried out with representatives of Ems:
o Village elderly;
o Village leaders;
o Women;
o Men;
Consultation and community meeting:
o Consultation is carried out with affected households including EM people (since the
majority of PAPs are of ethnic minority);
o Consultation/community meeting is carried out with affected and non-affected
households;
3.2. Socio-economic status in the project area

The subproject construction will affect permanent and temporary land acquisition. With the total
permanent land acquisition area is 11,849.41 m2 for both 110kV station and line 35 kV, the impacts on
land is generally considered as minor.
Temporary affected land area with ROW is 3 m wide will impact on about over 58 ha of land during
stringing of conductor. However, the affected period is short, so these impacts on livelihood are not
significant.

3.2.3. Living standards
The communes in the project area have per capita income levels lower than the national poverty line
(VND 400,000/person/month) in the 2011-2015 period. According to the data provided by the CPCs,
the living standards of the communes are shown in the table 6 below.

Apart from Mai Chau Town with the smallest poverty incidence of 3.7%, the other communes in the
project area have relatively high poor household rates, from 8.7% (Tong Dau) to 12.1% (Chieng Chau)
to the highest of 31.4% in Mai Ha Commune.
It is notable that the percentages of households with the average standard of living in the communes
are quite high, approximately 50% of total households in these communes. As the national poverty line
is built upon the principle of ensuring minimum energy, the households with average living standard,
which is approximately around the poverty line, are also those who are at high risk of falling back into
poverty if they have to suffer any adverse effects in life.
3.2.4. Production activities
The economic structures of the project communes show that they mainly depend on agriculture
(except for Mai Chau Town with the service proportion of 60%).

The table above shows that the number of households engaged in agricultural and forestry production
in the communes account for a large proportion, which does not commensurate with the economic
values in these communes. That is agricultural products do not have high value.
Main crops in agriculture are wet rice and maize and in forestry are “luong” bamboo and bead-trees.
Small and individual industry activities are mainly to serve daily life and partly due to contributions of
the handicraft products including brocade and bamboo and rattan weaving products to serve tourism.
Services activities do not develop strongly and mainly occur in Mai Chau Town where have tourism
development and a number of small businesses and services to serve people living in the mountainous
villages.
3.2.5. Healthcare services, education and energy
All communes have solid or semi-solid clinics with sufficient staff. 4 communes, namely Tong Dau,
Mai Hich, Mai Ha and Chieng Chau, have doctors at the commune clinics. Primary and secondary
schools are available in all communes and town; however, no commune has high school.
All communes are able to access to the national grid. However, clean water is still a difficulty to people
in the area.

Except for Chieng Chau Commune with 672 out of 861 households have access to tap water; people
in other communes still have to use water from drilled and dug wells or surface water including river,
spring, lake, pond and rain water for their domestic and production activities.
3.2.6. Thai community in Mai Chau
Thai people in Mai Chau in general as well as Thai community living in 5 communes and one town
mentioned above belong to White Thai (Thai Trang- Tay Khao) group who migrated from Muong Huoc
Puoc Kha (Bac Ha- Lao Cai) since the XIVth century. Due to the proximity to Muong people, Thai
people are affected in some cultural elements of Muong people, which are shown in their houses,
costume and funeral ceremony. Regarding spiritual culture, some ceremonies still keep Thai traditional
elements.
(i) Livelihoods
Most of Thai people grow wet-rice (Nà) as the main crop. The Thai people in the project area, apart
from wet-rice growing, also cultivate on mountainous fields (háy). Before, Thai people cultivated 2
17
crops (fall crop and winter crop), mainly glutinous rice. Nowadays, they have grown new varieties of
non-glutinous rice producing higher yield. Besides, they also grow rain crops such as maize, sweet
potato and cassava. Hunting barely exists anymore. Most of Thai households are engaged in livestock
husbandry such as cattle, pigs and chickens to serve their daily needs and as sacrifices for the
ceremonies like funerals or weddings, etc. Some households also keep fishes.
Handicraft is developing, particularly brocade weaving. Some products are quite sophisticated such as
blankets and headgears which are preferred by the domestic as well as foreign tourists. Since 1992,
the villages such as Lac Village, Pom Coong Village (and Van Village later) began to establish Tourism
Villages in form of community-based management, which operate quite effectively.
Currently, a number of families in the above-mentioned Thai villages also open small grocery stores at
home. Some people are engaged in brocade business (for example Ms. Mai in Van Village) quite
successfully.
Some jobs newly appear such as employees (porters, bricklayer), motorbike taxi drivers.
(ii) Physical culture
Thai people live in stilt houses (with 5 compartments, 2 lean-tos and 2 stairs with many windows).
Their stilt houses are affected and learn from the stilt house structure of Muong people. Thai women in
Mai Chau also wear costumes with many elements from Muong group.
Before, Thai people only ate sticky rice; today, in many areas, Thai people have changed to eat non-
glutinous rice. Some delicious dishes can be mentioned are grilled fish, sour fish, sour pork, boiled
pork on banana leaf. In the cuisine of Thai people in Mai Chau, there are elements from Muong
cuisine, including the type of square and wooden tray.
(iii) Social culture
Thai people in Mai Chau often gather and live in villages. Leaders of the village are head (tạo bản) and
deputy-head of the village and a person responsible for ceremonies called Chắm bản. Each village has
many families; in some villages, Ha family is the majority. The Thai families in Mai Chau include
Ha/KHa, Vi, Luong, Ngan and Quang. Aristocratic family name is Ha Cong.
(iv) Spiritual culture
Before, Thai people in Mai Chau worshiped village ghosts and district ghosts. Each village and district
had its own temple which was worshipped in August annually according to the Lunar Calendar. The
worship ceremony of district ghost was then followed by the worship of village ghost. After 1954,
village and district ghost worships are no longer maintained. Nowadays, they only worship house
ghosts (phi hườn) and the father; that means after their father died, the sons have to set up altar in
their house.
Thai people in Mai Chau have their own writing in Pili-Sanskrit system. Contents of the ancient books
are often related to migration history, family annals or customs and traditions. However, nowadays, the
number of people able to read and write Thai is very small. 3.3. Socio-economic survey results of
the project affected households Socio-economic survey results show that 288 households are
directly affected by land acquisition and construction of 35kV TL and Mai Chai 110kV substation
subproject. These impacts include impacts caused by permanent land acquisition for the construction
of tower foundations of the 35kV TL and Mai Chau 110kV substation.
18
Apart from the impacts caused by permanent land acquisition, there are impacts related to
construction activities and temporary impacts on land and crops during the construction period. These
impacts are evaluated as insignificant and short-term on the income and livelihoods of the DPs.
As the number of affected households who are ethnic minority people account for the majority (249
households out of 288 households), this section also describes the socio-economic status of the EM
affected households.
3.3.1. Household size
288 households are affected by the subproject implementation in which 249 households are ethnic

Considering the household incomes shows that among 108 PAHs in the survey samples, 16
households have income lower than VND 2 million/household/month, which is considered as the
income of the poor households; therefore, compared to the data of the households who have “poor
cards”, the number of households whose income is below the poverty line is higher. It is remarkable
that among 16 poor households, one household is woman-headed.
With the monthly income level from 2 to 3 million dong of a household, on average, the monthly per
capita income is from VND 500,000 to 750,000. If near-poor households are those who have income
level 125% higher than the poverty line, these 36 households are considered as just above the poverty
line, which means that if such households encounter any adverse impact such as natural disasters,
flood, land loss, crop loss, etc., they will easily fall back into poverty.
The remaining households have income level from 3 to 6 million dong/month. In general, these
households are regarded as middle-income to high-income households in the mountainous
communes. As for these households, their livelihood capacity is more sustainable.
3.3.8. Other services
(i) Energy
100% of the PAHs have access to the national grid. They use electricity for the purposes of lighting,
and audio and visual entertainment activities on the communication channels such as radio, television
or listening to music and working. However, for cooking purpose, they mainly use wood/firewood,
accounting for 90.74% of the total surveyed PAHs. This figure is not different from that of the EM
group, which is 90.72%.

The Table 20 shows the land acquisition of 58,500.3 m2 in the ROW including 57,980.6 m2 of forestry
land and 519.7 m2 of garden land. Land acquired for ROW is mainly forestry land in Van Mai and Mai
Hich communes, in which 42,732.8 m2 are in Van Mai and 15,247.8 m2 are in Mai Hich commune.
This area is calculated by width of ROW which is 3m and length of the line which is 19,456km.
Although the affected area is large, level of impacts is not much, because time of temporary land
occupy is only maximum 2 weeks for stringing the conductor.

Impacts caused by land acquisition are evaluated as insignificant as the figures show that compared to
the total number of the affected households, only 24 households are affected more than 10% of their
landholdings including 20 EM PAHs in Tong Dau Commune (13 HHs), Mai Ha commune (1 HH) and
Van Mai (6 HHs).
Among the households losing more than 10% of land area, 20 households lose from 10% to 30% and
4 households lose more than 30% of their landholdings.

(ii) Land use right
Types of lands affected by the subproject are mainly annual crop growing land, garden land and
forestry land. According to PAC PC, land user right certificate was issued to the households at the end
of the 90s. Although some households currently have yet had LURC, they have sufficient claims for
(eligible to) the granting of LURCs.
The two tables below show the status of LURCs for different types of land of the PAHs by commune.

90 households are affected on their trees due to the subproject implementation, including 52,400
“luong” bamboo trees, 7,830 bead trees and 880 Chukrasia tabularis trees to be cut down. These
types of trees have high economic value to people in the project area.
Such affected trees are mainly in Van Mai Commune as 100% of the affected bead-trees belong to 10
households in this commune, 33,650 “luong” bamboos are owned by 41 households and 50% of the
affected Chukrasia tabularis trees (lat) belong to 6 households in Van Mai.
Impacts on fruit trees (longan and mango) are quite significant as the number of affected trees is quite
considerable on the average of each household. Specifically, 1,070 mango trees are affected
belonging to only 3 households in Van Mai commune and out of the total of 639 affected longan trees,
up to 615 trees are owned by 5 households in Van Mai.

CHAPTER IV.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK (FOR LAND AND ETHNIC MINORITY)
4.1. Policies of the Government of Vietnam
4.1.1. Policies of the Government of Vietnam (Gov) on land acquisition
This part presents legal framework and policies of GoV and policies of World Bank (WB) regarding
land acquisition, compensation as well as resettlement and compares between two approaches. Due
to differences between policies of WB and legal framework of Vietnam, the project needs to exempt
some certain articles of GoV’s circulars and regulations in terms of compensation, assistance and
resettlement. According to that, plan of compensation, assistance and resettlement will be
implemented by the project’s policies.
Law on land 2003 issued on 26/11/2003 by Vietnam Assembly stated that “people who are
acquired their land will be compensated by land for the same use; if there is no land for
compensation, they will be compensated by value of land use right at the time issuing
decisions on land acquisition. PC of provinces and central cities will edit and implement
resettlement projects prior to land acquisition and compensation for houses and residential
land for people who are acquired land and relocated their residential places. Resettlement
locations need to have same or better development conditions than those of old residential
places. If there are no resettlement areas, the people who are acquired land will be
compensated in cash and prioritized to buy or rent houses owned by the State, in cases of
urban areas; and will be compensated by residential land, in cases of rural areas. In cases
land acquisition from households and/or individuals which are in direct production process, but
there is no compensating land for continuing production, besides compensation in cash, the
people who are acquired land will be assisted to stabilize their lives by being trained to change
their production and/or business methods via assignment of new jobs” (Article 42)
Law on complaints and denunciations are approved on 2 December 1998 by National
Assembly
Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on complaints and denunciations
are approved on 15 June 2004
Decree 181/2004/ND-CP of the Government of Vietnam issued on October 29, 2004 guiding
the implementation of the Land Law 2003.

Decree 188/2004/ND-CP of the Government of Vietnam issued on November 16, 2004 on
methods to determine land prices and assorted land price brackets. This decree stated clearly
maximum and minimum prices of different land types and categories all over the country.
These land prices were established to serve the Government’s land acquisition, tax on
changing land use right, renting the state’s land and for national as well as public objectives.
Decree 123/2007/ND-CP dated July 27, 2007 on revision and supplementation of some
regulations in decree 188/2004/ND-CP.

4.1.2. Policies of the Government of Vietnam on Ethnic minorities
For ethnic minorities, the Vietnamese Government's policies are built based on the respect and
equality among ethnic groups, solidarity and mutual assistance among different ethnic groups. The
application of socio-economic policies for each region, each group taking into account the needs of
ethnic minorities is a requirement. Socio-economic Development Plan and Socio-economic
36
Development Strategy in Vietnam give special attention to the ethnic minorities. The major programs
for the ethnic minorities can be listed are the Program 135 (Infrastructure in poor and remote areas),
Program 134 (Eliminating temporary houses). Besides, there are also policies on education and
healthcare for ethnic minority people.

4.2. World Bank’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) and Indigenous Peoples (OP
4.10)
4.2.1. Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12)
The primary objective of the World Bank policy is to explore all alternatives to avoid or at least
minimize involuntary resettlement. Where resettlement is unavoidable, the living standards of
displaced persons should be restored or improved relative to those conditions that prevailed prior to
the Project. The policy applies to the taking of land and other assets when land acquisition results in
the loss of shelter, the loss of all or part of productive assets, or access to them, and the loss of
income sources or other means of livelihood.
Policy on Indigenous Peoples (OP 4.10)
The objectives of the World Bank Policy on Indigenous Peoples aim to:
To ensure that the ethnic groups adapt to the meaningful opportunities to participate in
designing project activities that have impacts on them;
To ensure that the opportunities for those ethnic groups have taken into account culturally
appropriate benefits; and
To ensure that any adverse impact caused by the project is avoided or otherwise minimized.
For purposes of this policy, the term “Indigenous Peoples” is used in a generic sense to refer to a
distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics in varying
degrees:
(a) self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of
this identity by others;
(b) collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the
project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;
(c) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those
of the dominant society and culture; and
(d) an indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region.
OP 4.10 requires a “free, prior, and informed” consultation with the ethnic minorities that might be
affected and establishes assistances for the project affected communities.
4.3. Comparison between Government of Vietnam and World Bank Approaches
There are a number of ways in which the approaches of the Vietnam Government – either in policy or
practice – are compatible with World Bank guidelines. The most important compatibilities are:
Vietnam has a process whereby most people without legal land rights may meet conditions of
legalization and receive compensation for losses.
Permanent residents are provided with options that include relocation to an improved site, or
cash, or a combination of the two.
Resettlement sites offer not only improved infrastructure and services but represent a higher
standard of living.
Allowances are provided to help the DPs in the transition period and there is an institutional
structure through which people are informed, can negotiate compensation, and can appeal.
38
Differences between the approaches and measures that need to be addressed within the
program also exist. However, in this context, procedures exist within national and City
governments that allow the granting of waivers of domestic law on specific projects that may
be in conflict with that of the funding agency.
On the issue of land tenure and the legal right to compensation, the Government and World
Bank approaches are compatible. The government has its own process in place whereby land
occupied without legal documentation can be legalized; this land, however, is compensated for
at a rate equal to 100% of land price minus the taxes and fee for land use right registration
from 15 October 1993 (Articles No.42, 49 and 50 of the Land Law 2003).
Required Waivers
In order to meet the requirements of the World Bank OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement a number of
articles in various Vietnamese laws and regulations which do not ensure compensation at replacement
cost or set eligibility provisions which do not extend the right to rehabilitation and or assistance to
households without proper land paper, will be waived.
The articles of law and regulations that will be waived are mentioned below:
Eligibility to Compensation and or assistance – Decree 197
Article 7 of Decree 197 of 2004 (Cases where land is recovered without compensation) stipulates that
any person whose land is recovered and who has not met one of the conditions of Article 8 of this
Decree, or who has violated the plan, or who violates the protecting corridor work, or who illegally
occupies land shall not receive compensation when the state recovers the land. In case of necessity,
the Provincial People’s Committee shall consider and decide on a case-by-case basis.
Article 18, 20 of Decree 197:
Houses and structures on non-eligible-for-compensation land, which have not violated
announced land use plans or the right of way will be assisted at 80% of replacement cost
Houses and structures on non-eligible-for-compensation land, which have violated announced
land use plans or the right of way will not be assisted. If necessary, the PPC will consider on
the case by case basis.
Article 29 of Decree 197: DPs losing more than 30% of productive land will be entitled to living
stabilization and training/job creation assistance
To ensure that the objectives of this resettlement policy are met, a special decision of the Government
waiving Article 7, 18, 20, 29 of Decree 197 and article 24 of Decree 69 is needed to permit assistance
and rehabilitation measures for illegal users of land as proposed in the policy. This was represented in
Decision on approval of the project’s policy framework in Decision No. 1856/TTg-KTN dated on 15
October 2010.
Price of Land for Calculation of Compensation
Article 9 of Decree 197: The compensation rates for land shall be determined by the PPC for the type
of land which has been used for at the time of land acquisition
To ensure that the objectives of the project resettlement policy are met, unit price for land
compensation established by the Project Provincial/City People’s Committees will be adjusted to meet
the replacement costs on the 1st of January every year according to the law.
39
Assistance Policy for DPs who Rent State-owned dwelling houses – Decree 197
Article 21 of Decree 197/2004/ND-CP states that DPs who rent State-owned dwelling houses shall be
provided with monetary supports equal to 60% of the land value and 60% of the value of currently
rented houses; in cases where there are no resettlement houses are to be arranged for them.
To ensure that the objectives of the policy are met, a special decision of the Government of Vietnam
regarding waiver of Article 21 of Decree 197/2004/ND-CP is needed to permit assistance and
rehabilitation measures for DPs who share State-owned dwelling houses as proposed in this policy.
Article 2 of Decree 188/2004/ND-CP states that the land price shall be defined by the provincial
People’s Committees and/or cities directly under the central government. To ensure that the objectives
of the project resettlement policy are met, unit prices for land compensation established by the project
related provincial/city People’s Committees shall be adjusted to meet the replacement costs.
Item 5, Article 2 of Decree No.131/2006/NĐ-CP dated November 9, 2006 issuing Regulations on
management and usage of Official Development Assistance (ODA) stipulates “Conform to regulations
under Vietnamese Law and international treaties on ODA of which the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is
a member. In case an international treaty on ODA where the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a
member has contrary regulations to those of Vietnamese Law, the international treaty shall prevail”.

5.3. Consultation plan and methods of information dissemination during the project
implementation
The consultation and information dissemination need to be implemented during the whole time
preparing for the project and also planning and implementing the project in order to ensure
requirement of information dissemination, consultation and participation. So as to ensure EM people
can be aware of the project information, participate in the consultation and other activities of the
project, following actions need to be done:
(i) Disclosed materials
RP and EMDP need to be summarized and publicly disclosed to PAHs in different forms.
In terms of provincial and district level, REMDP materials need to be provided to Office of Provincial
and District PC as well as District Compensation Council and Minority Department with the full
versions and in Vietnamese.
In terms of communal level, Vietnamese summary will be placed at Office of CPC.
In terms of community, summary of REMDP will be distributed to head of villages’ houses in
Vietnamese.
Flyer of REMDP will be distributed to PAHs and archived at head of villages’ houses in Vietnamese.
(ii) Language of the materials
All of EM PAP can read, listen, write and speak Vietnamese fluently. According to people’s responses,
language of the materials can be Vietnamese with a clear printed version which is easy for them to
understand.
(iii) Steps of implementation and methods of consultation
The consultation needs to be done during the project preparation, implementation and operation. At
least, the following activities need to be done:
46
Consultation, information dissemination via flyers and publicity via loudspeakers regarding the
project information before conducting DMS;
Consultation and information disclosure via public meetings during the whole time of preparation
for the project;
Publicly posting results of DMS and applications of compensation price prior to payment;
Consultation and information disclosure via publicity and training about safe power network during
the project operation.

CHAPTER VI
COMPENSATION, SUPPORT AND LIVELIHOOD RESTORATION
6.1. Compensation
6.1.1 Compensation and Resettlement Objectives
Following the op 4.12 and the Government policies on land acquisition, compensation, assistance and
resettlement, the overall objectives of this resettlement policy are:
to avoid, if not, minimize resettlement impacts;
if impacts are unavoidable, the RAP is prepared in a way to ensure that affected persons are not
worse off; rather, they should be able to at least maintain or otherwise improve their pre-project
living standards and income-earning capacity. The Project should also provide an opportunity for
the local population to derive benefits from it. Likewise, the Project should serve as an occasion for
the local population to participate in its planning and implementation, thereby engendering a sense
of ownership over this development undertaking.
The main objectives and principles of WB on involuntary resettlement are:
Involuntary resettlement and loss of means of livelihood are to be avoided when feasible by
exploring all viable alternatives. When, after such an examination, avoidable is proved unfeasible,
effective measures to minimize impact and to compensate for losses must be agreed upon with
the people who will be affected;
People must be resettled involuntarily and people whose means of livelihood will be hindered or
lost must be sufficiently compensated and supported by project components etc. in a timely
manner. Host countries must make efforts to enable people affected by the project and to improve
their standard of living, income opportunities, and production levels, or at least to restore these to
per-project levels. Measures to achieve this may include: providing land and monetary
compensation for losses, supporting means for an alternative sustainable livelihood, and providing
the expenses necessary for the relocation and reestablishment for communities at resettlement
sites; and
Appropriate participation by affected people and their communities must be promoted in the
planning, implementation, and monitoring of resettlement action plans and measures to prevent
the loss of their means of livelihood.
In addition, appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms must be established for the
affected people and their communities. For projects that will result in large –scale involuntary
resettlement, resettlement action plans must be prepared and made available to the public. In
preparing resettlement action plan, consultations must be held with the affected people and their
communities based on the sufficient information made available to them in advance. When
consultations are held, explanations must be given in a form, manner, and language that are
understandable to the affected people. It is desirable that, the resettlement action plan include
elements laid out in the World Bank Safeguard policy, OP 4.12.
48
6.1.2. The Compensation and Resettlement Principles
To achieve of the above objectives, the following principles are adopted:
a. The acquisition of land and other assets and resettlement of the project affected persons will
be minimized as much as possible.
b. All DPs residing, operating, working or cultivating land in the project area either permanently or
temporarily which identified or can prove that they have properties in the project affected areas
before the cut-off date are entitled to compensation, restoration and rehabilitation measures
sufficient to assist them to at least restore or otherwise improve their pre-project living
standards, income earning capacity and production levels. Lack of legal rights or
documentation will not bar DPs from entitlement to such measures.
c. No land recovery or site clearing will be done for the project construction in anticipation or
ahead of it being approved for inclusion in the project subject to this plan. Compensation will
be at the costs issued by local authority; no deductions of depreciation and for salvageable
materials.
d. The compensation measures will be provided include (i) in cash or in kind compensation for
houses and other structures with the unit compensation costs issued by local authorities.(ii)

6.2. Support and income restoration
Support Policy
Experience shows that, unless mitigated, involuntary resettlement resulting from development projects
often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental problems: production systems are
dismantled; people face impoverishment when their affected productive assets or income sources are not
replaced.
In addition, there are people who on account of their position in society and/or their physical and
economic situation are less capable of re-establishing themselves than the others and, therefore, face
greater risks of impoverishment. Assistances through different types of allowances and economic
restoration plan is needed to be developed in order to make sure that the project affected person will not
be worse off or otherwise improved their livelihood and living standards at new places. The Decree
69/2009/ND-CP has improved its provision of compensation and assistance to affected households,
especially those who depend heavily on agricultural production as their main source of income.
Results of the consultations with the stakeholders described in the Consultation and Participation Chapter
show that most of the severely affected households wish to receive cash to restore livelihoods by
themselves.

The following assistances will be provided for the PAPs to ensure that they can restore their income
affected partly by the project implementation:
(a) DPs losing agricultural/productive land and crops:
i. if the portion of the land to be lost represents 10% or less of the total area of the landholding,
and the remaining land is still a viable economic holding, cash compensation, at full
replacement cost for the acquired area may be provided to the DP.
ii. if the portion of the land to be lost is more than 10% of the total area of the landholding or the
remaining holding is not viable then the project will acquire the entire landholding and provide
"land for land" arrangements of equal productive capacity, satisfactory to the DP. However, if
the DP prefers to receive cash instead of land, then cash compensation at replacement cost
is applied.
iii. DPs will be compensated for the loss of standing crops at market price; productive trees will
be compensated at replacement cost.
iv. DPs whose land is temporarily taken by the works under the project will be compensated for
their loss of income, standing crops and for the cost of soil restoration and damaged
infrastructure. Land will be rehabilitated after the project construction by NPPMB or TSHPMB
as the case may be.
(b) DPs will also be provided compensation at full replacement cost, without deduction for depreciation
and salvage materials for any other fixed assets affected in part or in total by the project, such as tombs and
water wells, etc.
In cases where community infrastructure such as schools, factories, water sources, roads, sewage systems
is damaged, NPPMB or TSHPMB will ensure that these would be restored or repaired as the case may be,
at no cost to the community.
Besides the direct compensation for the losses, DPs will also be entitled to additional assistance
(subsidies/allowances) as below:
Livelihood Allowance
DPs, who are involved in agricultural production, will receive an allowance in cash as follows (i) equal to
30kg of rice/person/month for a period of 6 months if DPs lose between 10% and 70% of their agricultural
land holdings; (ii) equal to 30kg of rice/person/month for a period of 12 months if DPs lose greater than
70% of agricultural land holdings.
Production disruption allowance
DPs, who are permanently affected by losing more than 10% of productive land or incomes, or have to
relocate will be entitled to training or other economic restoration programs at 3,000,000 VND for one
person and a further 2 million VND for every additional person in the household.
Support to job transfer and employment creation
DPs, who are involved in agricultural production and do not receive land for land compensation for their
agricultural land acquired by the project, will be entitled to cash allowance equal to 1.5 to 5.0 times the
agricultural land price for the acquired area of agricultural land in addition to the cash compensation at
replacement cost. The land area which is eligible for allowance shall not exceed the limit of agricultural
land allocation permitted in the province. The Provincial People’s Committee stipulates the allowance
rate suitable for local conditions.
66
However, the consultation results show that the PAPs wish to receive assistances in cultivation and
livestock husbandry activities, job conversion and access to loans.
Based on result of consultation with local authorities, various organizations and affected households, the
subproject construction did not impact greatly on PAHs’ livelihood sources, including EM ones. However,
impacts on income sources and ability to restore income of people need to be monitored strictly.
Independent monitoring unit and internal monitoring activities need to review and observe these impacts.
In cases adverse impacts, identified as resulted from construction of subproject, affect PAHs’ living
standard, the following activities/programs are listed below are considered as the subproject’s livelihood
restoration program:
Prioritize employment for qualified persons of both genders during the construction and
operation of the Project.
Cooperate with local authorities to implement vocational training and provide non-agricultural
jobs to PAHs. These programs should be discussed between Trung Son HPP and the local
authorities in order to prioritize PAHs among currently implementing vocational training
activities according to Decision No. 1956 of Prime Minister on approval of Vocational training
project for rural labour until 2020.
Maximize the number of the affected households to the loans which available in the localities
as Decision No. 52/2012/QD-TTg on policy supporting and resolving jobs and
vocational training for labours who are acquired agricultural land.
As it is a component of Trung Son Hydropower Project, these technical assistances activities should
focus on the severely affected households of the subproject and be closely supervised by the livelihood
consulting expert as well as officials from the environmental and social group. During the implementation
period, if any potentially adverse impact that may worse the existing impacts on the PAHs is identified,
the livelihood activities should be in place for these households in accordance with the income restoration
program framework of Trung Son Hydropower Project.
67
CHAPTER VII
ETHNIC MINORITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND GENDER STRATEGY
The subproject construction impacts on 288 households, including 249 EM households of which majority
are Thai people community. The project impacts on permanent as well as temporary land acquisition and
this only affect slightly the people’s livelihood. During design process, mitigation methods to avoid
maximum impacts on production land (especially the people’s rice crop land) were implemented via
choosing one best solution for the line, including choosing conductor and route which traverses
residential areas the least; therefore, impacts on houses and residential land of people as well as
relocation of their houses were mitigated to the greatest extent.
The construction of 35kV line and Mai Chau 110kV substation does not bring direct benefits to PAP due
to not providing electricity for living or develop production directly. Positive impacts of the project are
provision of electricity for main construction which causes long-term increasing impacts in general
promotion of regional and national GDP.
In order to mitigate adverse impacts of the subproject construction on EM PAPs, a legal framework for
EM of the project was built and approved in October 2010. According to the regulation, an EMDP need to
be built for the project. As the DPs of the Project belong to the ethnic minority communities, resettlement
activities described above are also a part of the Ethnic Minority Development Plan.
Negative impacts of land acquisition, impacts on livelihood, environment as well as the project scale were
presented in consultation meeting with PAP and EM PAP, of which nearly 100% of representatives of
PAHs participating. In-depth interviews with village and family leaders as well as prestigious people in
Thai community were conducted in the communes. Responses from the consultation and in-depth
interviews focus on following main ideas:
Completely in support the project construction;
The project causes minor impacts, does not affect the community structure, livelihood as well as
worship places and sacred land area of Thai ethnic community;
Compensation and support in cash, directly payment for PAHs;
The compensation and support should be conducted once and the compensation activities should
be informed soon to people as planned;
The information dissemination activities can use Vietnamese because people mostly can read,
write, listen and communicate directly by Vietnamese.
So as to ensure mitigation of impacts on land acquisition and negative impacts of the project construction
on EM community as well as compliance with EM cultural customs, following content will be observed:
The project will not agree to land acquisition from ethnic minority peoples if they have not
provided their broad support;
Affected ethnic minorities participate in the preparation of any land acquisition;
If directly affected by a project, ethnic minorities are entitled to compensation for all lost land and
affected assets, incomes and businesses at replacement costs and provided with rehabilitation
measures sufficient to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living
standards, incomes and productive capacity;
Lack of legal rights to assets and access lost or adversely affected will not bar them from
entitlement to such compensation and rehabilitation measures;
Compensation for ethnic minorities, female headed-households, families with the disabled or
elderly will be carried out with respect for their cultural values and specific needs.
68
Besides, the EMDP and Gender Strategy added a number of specific activities to ensure the project
benefits for EMs and women in the project. The following activities will be done:
Consultation meeting on resettlement activities will be held separately with women, female
headed households and elderly women;
The district compensation committees will include representatives from district and commune
Women’s Union and women from affected households;
At the inception of the project, a capacity building training program on resettlement activities will
be designed for the women and men commune officials, and women and men from affected
households to orient them about resettlement activities. Participation of poor women, female
headed households and ethnic in the training will be ensured; The training will also include
representatives from the Project Management Board, respective line agencies and
representatives from commune Women’s Union, Youth Union involved in resettlement
committees;
The training will include information on resettlement activities, compensation, management of
compensation money, grievance procedures and impact of the project on livelihood activities
related to loss of agricultural produce, and other productive assets. The objective of the training is
to provide affected communities with understanding of resettlement issues and better access to
compensation resources and information on grievance procedures; ensure participation of
women/ EM women in training activity;
During the conduct of the DMS in the RAP implementation phase, men and women from PAHs
will participate in the said activity;
Livelihood activities will be planned with active involvement of women; need assessment for
livelihood activities and skill development of livelihood activities will be conducted separately for
women members, poor women, female-headed households, elderly women, ethnic minority
women;
Compensation payment and cash assistance will be given to both men and women from the
households; Specific attention will be provided for the poor women headed households, elderly
women in paying the compensation on time and developing suitable livelihood activities for
elderly and poor female headed households;
Joint registration of land rights in the names of husband and wife and female headed households
will be issued in instances where land is acquired;
Special measures will be taken in the relocation of elderly, disabled and female headed
households. Special support will be added.
Disaggregated monitoring indicators by gender will be developed for monitoring of Social
benefits, economic opportunities, livelihood program, and resettlement activities.
