I. SUMMARY ON COMPENSATION, RESETTLEMENT AND LIVEHOOD
RESTORATION PROGRESS
1. Implementation progress of the main project components was basically in line with the
schedule approved by EVN under the Decision No. 47/QD-EVN dated 24th January 2011 on
approving the overall progress (revision) of SB4HP. The items of the main works were
commenced on 25th June 2010.
2. By the monitoring time, compensation payment has been made and completed in 12 main
work items and auxiliary work items. The key work item (reservoir flooded area) has been
completed as follows: (i) compensation and assistance payment were made for AHs in Pa Pang
village and village No. 2 in Ta Poo commune; (ii) compensation and assistance payments were
made for reservoir flooded area and areas acquired for construction of Resettlement Sites for
people in PaDhi village, Pa Rum A village, and Pa Rum B Village; (iii) compensation payments
were made for work items in administrative quarter of Zuoih commune; (iv) payments of
allowance for reclamation of farm land, construction of Guol house were made for Pa Rum A, Pa
Rum B and PaDhi villages; (v) the compensation payment was made for 125 AHs in Khe Vinh
reservoir flooded area under Vinh village, Ta Poo commune; (vi) non flooded land area of Pa
Rum B village has been completed measurement survey and identification of land status. It is
expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.
3. As for power lines, the implementation progress of the power lines is as follows: (i) 35kV
power line has been erected, accepted and put into operation; (ii) 22kV power line has been
installed in Pa Pang RS and power has been provided for households in new village No.2 and Pa
Pang village; iii) 35kV power branch line to PaDhi, Pa Rum A and Pa Rum B resettlement sites
has been erected and put into operation.
4. The construction of access roads to Pa Rum A and Pa Rum B RS (in combination with
the temporary road for SB2HP construction) had been completed and put into use since April
2012. Completion of Song Bung Bridge has facilitated travel and transportation from other
villages to Pa Rum A and Pa Rum B RS. Currently, the access road to Pa Pang RS has been put
into use since April 2012. Construction contractors and local people can access to Pa Pang RS
through the bridge and the asphalted road (at the connecting section with National Highway 14D).
By the monitoring time, the access road to PaDhi RS has been completed and put into use since
Quarter II of 2013. 2.5 km –long flood-over bridge and road 14D have been completed and put
into use.
5. For Pa Pang, village 2, Pa Rum A, Pa Rum B and PaDhi RSs, the implementation
progress has been presented in detail in Section IV.6 below.
6. Some project activities such as: construction of RSs, access road to RSs had been
lagging in comparison with the project’s schedule (for about 8 months) due to some subjective
reasons/causes (such as the cooperation among local authorities to reach agreements on
procedures, delays in granting license and making decisions, and delays in contractor’s
construction) as well as objective reasons/causes (natural disasters, floods), which were out of
PMU’s control.
7. Co Tu APs were assisted in accordance with the Project Policy Framework (PPF) and
Vietnam Government’s policies on affected ethnic minorities. The compensation and assistance
amount had been paid in full to them (with the presence of both husband and wife) after they
signed (or finger printed) on the List of acknowledgement receipts.
8. SB4HP is funded with USD 2 million from JFPR Fund of Japan to restore livelihood for
AHs. CHF is recruited to provide technical assistance, livelihood restoration measures for AHs,
especially relocated HHs in the subproject area (activities ended in March 2013). Generally,
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 5
livelihood restoration activities have been conducted by CHF in the whole project. Irrespective of
achievements, there are some certain outstanding issues mentioned in section IV.7 of this report.
9. In general, compensation and resettlement progress was delayed about 8 months in
comparison with the approved schedule due to various reasons. However, according to the
independent monitoring consultant’s evaluation, the compensation and assistance payment for
AHs was implemented in compliance with approved REMDP’s regulations by Center for Land
Fund Development in Giang Nam district in collaboration with SB4HPMU. During the DMS
process, some arisen affected assets (mostly the trees) have caused some claims/grievances
from AHs. These queries/complaints have been jointly settled by CPCs and Center for Land Fund
Development in Nam Giang District, ADB’s Consultant and SB4HPMU.
10. By the monitoring time, the construction work items were completed. The inundation of
the reservoir was implemented since August 1st 2014, with the operation of the Electricity
Generation Unit No. 1 in September 2014 and of the Electricity Generation Unit No. 2 in October
2014, jointing the national power line through Cady 500kV Substation.
11. The consulting service has taken effect from 2009 to December 2014 (six years), thus this
report is the final periodical monitoring report of the consulting service. The Independent
Monitoring Consultant will prepare the final Evaluation Report which consolidates the
assessments on the implementation of the service contracts, including about the Resettlement,
commencement of livelihood models and changes as well as shortcomings in implementation of
gender equality, ethnic minority and delivery of health care and education service. In addition, the
assessment on the project impacts caused to the downstream area will be provided and come
together with the recommendations and lessons for the similar projects.
II. OVERVIEW
II.1. Project General Introduction
12. Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project (SB4HP) is to be built on Bung River, a tributary of Vu
Gia River. The project is carried out in territory of Zuoih, Ta Poo communes of Nam Giang
District, Quang Nam Province, and 75km far from Da Nang to the Southwest. Dam and reservoir
are located in Nam Giang district, Quang Nam province. Song Bung 4 Dam, located on an
effluent of Bung River, lies on the boundary of Zuoih and Ta Bhing communes (currently known
as Ta Poo commune) of Nam Giang District. The reservoir influences on Zuoih and Ta Poo
communes. The project has been commenced since 25th June 2010.
13. The Project works include a dam of 110m high with the length of the dam at the top of
367m, an underground water conveyance system and a Song Bung 4 dam power station. Song
Bung 4 Project, located on Bung River some 3km upstream of the confluence with A Vuong
River, will create a reservoir with an area of some 15.8 km2 at the Full Supply Level (FSL) of
+222.5 m and an area reduction of 7.8 km2 with minimum/ dead water level of +205 m.
14. Water from Song Bung 4 Reservoir will be diverted, via a headrace tunnel and an
underground penstock to a power station located on Bung River some 5km downstream of the
dam. The difference in elevation between the reservoir and the power station is some 125 m at
the FSL. From the power station, the water is conveyed back to Bung River via a short tailrace
canal.
15. By the monitoring time, SB4HP has been approved by ADB for updating REMDP Vol. 1;
Vol. 2 and Vol. 3A in 2010 and after reaching an agreement with ADB missions the resettlement
plan was revised in compliance with new timeline.
16. In accordance with the revised plan on the latest progress, reservoir flood discharge will
be approved by ADB once all compensation has been paid to AHs as well as the resettled AHs
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 6
have been relocated to the Resettlement sites under the approved REMDP. As a result of the
adjustment, total investments dramatically increase in comparison with the initial design. This is
mainly because of increased payment for AHs, resulting from the adjustment in
compensation/assistance policy and inflation.
17. Under approved REMDP for SB4HP, an amount of some $US 2 million from Japan Fund
for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) is granted for the programs of livelihood rehabilitation and
assistance, gender and ethnic minority development as well as healthcare and medical services,
and technique assistance undertaken by CHF reserved for SB4HP and ended in February 2013.
18. According to adjusted construction plan for Resettlement sites, the latest Project’s
relocation and resettlement activities were completed on 31st December 2013.
19. Construction progress approved by EVN (after having the agreement between SB4HPMU
with Sino contractor and Mott MacDonald Consultants) has some key milestones as follows:
• Construction commencement: 3/9/2010;
• River backfilling: 16/1/2012;
• Storing water in the reservoir: 1/8/2014;
• Operation of the Electricity Generation Unit No. 1: 9/2014;
• Operation of the Electricity Generation Unit No. 2: 10/2014;
• Construction completion: Quarter 1/2015.
20. The consulting service for SB4 HPP has taken effect for six years (from 2009 to 2014).
Because it is the final monitoring of the consulting service, the Independent Monitoring Consultant
has reviewed all activities from the date of commencing the project in order to have an overview
to prepare the final Evaluation Report of the consulting service. The assessment on the project
impacts on people including resettlement, livelihood restoration and other issues will be
mentioned in the final Evaluation Report of the project. The table below will summarize the time
and locations of implementing the consulting service:

III. IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY
III.1. Scope of monitoring and Objectives
23. The previous Independent monitoring reports on the implementation of REMDP of the
project were in full of the objectives, contents and monitoring methods at the request of
SB4HPMU. The twelfth Independent Monitoring Report summarizes the main objectives and
scopes of the monitoring as below:
• General objective: To strengthen the efficiency of project activities (progress and quality
of activities, compliance level with requirements prescribed in REMDP).
• Specific objectives:
o Studying the implementation status of REMDP in the three project areas namely the
reservoir, the upstream/downstream areas of the reservoir and the land-acquisition
area (for construction) of the project.
o Monitoring the implementation of compensation, assistance and site clearance for
work items not conducting compensation payment including: non-flooded area of Pa

VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 8
o Monitoring the activities related to livelihood restoration for AHs, issues of gender,
ethnic minority and healthcare and medical services.
III.2. Monitoring methods
III.2.1. Desk review
24. Before conducting field monitoring, the Consultants started with studying and reviewing
relevant documents available in office as usual to collect qualitative information and quantitative
data to capture the general progress of compensation, assistance and resettlement of the project
to date. The documents scrutinized by the Consultants include: (i) VICA’s Independent Monitoring
Reports (until this time); (ii) Updated REMDPs (especially Chapter 6, 7, and 8 of updated REMDP
Vol. 2); (iii) Internal monitoring report of SB4HPMU; (iv) Statistics of compensation and support
amounts for AHs in villages.
III.2.2. Field monitoring
25. During the field trip monitoring process, different methods were used and combined to
obtain the best monitoring results, including the followings:
Document analysis and collection
26. The Consultants reviewed the documents related to safeguard policies, legal documents,
internal reports and other documents on the results of compensation, assistance and
resettlement activities to diversify information sources, which support the collection and analysis
of relevant matters during REMDP implementation. The Consultants had conducted random
checks on records and documents relating to the implementation of compensation, assistance
and resettlement of SB4HPMU, RMIU.
In – depth interview
27. The Consultants carried out in-depth interviews with project affected persons (APs),
project staff and those responsible for REMDP implementation by a prepared list of questions.
This will supplement the information collected from questionnaires and document analysis. During
this monitoring mission, in-depth interviews were conducted with the following:
• PMU’s staff: 3 persons
• District staff: 10 persons (including representatives of Divisions of Health Care,
Education, Agriculture, Ethnic Minority, Women’s Union, Planning and Finance,
Infrastructure Economic, Land Fund Development Center etc)
• Ta Poo commune’s staff: 5 persons
• Staff of Village No.2 and Pa Pang village: 4 persons
• Staff of Pa Dhi, Pa Rum B and Pa Rum A villages : 6 persons
• AHs in village No.2, Pa Pang village, Pa Dhi and Pa Rum B and Pa Rum A villages: 10
persons
Group discussion
28. The group discussions were conducted in three sessions with village officials and
representatives of the AHs in Pa Rum B and Pa Rum A villages of Zuoih commune and village 2
of Ta Poo commune. These discussions are to collect information on the advantages, difficulties
and solutions during the project implementation and re-evaluate project framework as well as
policy framework for the implementation of the project. This method, moreover, was carried out
with a focus on evaluating other issues related to benefits/entitlements of APs, community
participation, efficiency of construction investment, efficiency of compensation spending for
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 9
livelihood restoration and capacity of project staff, ability of officials in charge of the project’s
implementation. There were 6-8 participants in each discussion.
Observation
29. During the field trip, the Consultants visited and interviewed some AHs to observe their
living conditions and facilities. The Consultants, also, interviewed APs about how they used their
compensation as well as took advantage of supporting measures for AHs’ livelihood restoration
after the project implementation.
IV. RESULTS OF THE TWELFTH REMDP MONITORING
IV.1. Information Dissemination, Consultation and Community Participation
30. The information disclosure has been conducted under a consultation meeting among the
stakeholders. Most of AHs fully participated in the community consultation meetings to grasp
information of the project on: compensation, assistance, livelihood activities, public health care
programs, gender mainstream in project’s activities.
31. At the public consultation sessions, basic information about the Project, as well as AHs
benefits, grievance redress mechanism and livelihood restoration have been disclosed to
AHs/APs.
32. Most of resettled AHs were all aware of the project impacts, their interests and
obligations, the resettlement plan, all of which were revised for their stable life and livelihood
restoration. The local people also said that, most of AHs here thought that thanks to the Project.
Their life has been changed positively because now they have new strong house, road in the
village, electricity, as well as better infrastructures in resettlement areas. However, during the
monitoring process, consultants know that some APs are worried that their future livelihood
development will encounter more difficulties because of narrowed cultivating land (village 2) and
steep slope which make them more difficult to cultivate (Pa Dhi and Pa Rum B villages are
affected), soil in the resettlement sites is not as fertile as soil in the old place, livelihood
assistance activities will be ended after the project is completed that will remarkably affect their
future living. In addition, households in Dai Son commune, Dai Loc district also expressed their
desire to have quicker and more effective communication plan upon the discharge of the reservoir
to local people as soon as possible. At present, seven villages in Dai Son commune have been
equipped with the loudspeakers for direct notification when there is reservoir discharge. SB4HP
had agreement with A Vuong Hydropower Plant and other hydropower projects in the same basin
to coordinate with Natural Disaster and Flood Prevention Committee in Dai Loc District, Quang
Nam provice to organize annual meeting to sum up about the flood prevention, discharge of
reservoir of the plants, examination and repair of the warning system before the wet season,
conduct public consultation to keep local people updated about the warnings of reservoir
discharge, strengthen the hotlines and other communication channels etc.
Nguyen Thi Hong, Dong Cham village, Dai Son commune, Dai Loc District:
“Our commune is located in the downstream area of hydropower plants. During the past time, there
were many discharge sessions, which we know are unavoidable. There are difficulties for us when
sharing our home with the flood but they should inform us in advance so that we could evacuate our
stuffs or avoid being swept away when crossing the stream. Only that way could ease the burden on
us.”
Duong Tai Lieu, chairman of Dai Son CPC, Dai Loc District:
“I requested to connect the hotline to the phone number of hydropower plant management unit and to
my phone number. Upon the reservoir discharge, no matter when it is, at night or in day time, please
call to hotline so that I could timely inform the households in our commune. We have had the
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 10
loudspeaker and some board instructing the discharge procedures for the information of local people
etc”
IV.2. Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) and Establishment of Compensation
Plan
IV.2.1. Detailed Measurement Survey
33. Inventory and DMS were implemented by the coordination between officials of District
Land Fund Development Centre, project’s officials, local officials and affected persons. Inventory
and DMS were carried out following the project schedule1. The application of compensation price
is in compliance with prevailing regulations of Vietnam and ADB. By the monitoring time, the
inventory and DMS in all work items for households affected by the project have been basically
completed in compliance with procedures and regulations in the REMDP.
34. The duration of inventory at affected areas as follows:
• Main work items and auxiliary work items (camps, quarry, non-flooded road) : completed
at the end of 2011 ;
• Resettlement areas and reservoir for affected villages namely village 2, Pa Dhi village, Pa
Rum A village and Pa Rum B village: started on May 01, 2011 and completed on July 20,
2011.
• The areas including access road to resettlement areas and administrative quarter of Zuoih
commune, reservoir flooded area from dam to Khe Vinh; reservoir flooded area of Taul
village: started on May 25, 2008 and completed in December 2011.
• For non-flooded land area of households in Pa Rum B village, by the monitoring time, the
stakeholders were reviewing measurement survey to prepare the cadastral map dossier
to submit agencies for approval (demarcation, measurement in accordance with the HH’s
confirmed land area etc). Upon the approval decision based on cadastral dossier, the
PMU will conduct measurement and DMS for this non-flooded area. The inventory and
compensation payment are expected to be completed in Quarter 1/2015.
IV.2.2. Establishment of compensation plan
35. The compensation and assistance options were prepared on the basis of project policy
framework which was approved by ADB and under related Decisions of Quang Nam PPC. The
losses and damages on trees, structures, and assets would be compensated in cash, equal to the
value of the affected assets. The households eligible for resettlement would be compensated
“land-for-land” together with various assistances to restore their living standards. In addition,
since AHs were the ethnic minority ones, the compensation and assistance options had been
adopted under the policies for ethnic minority people in accordance with project policy framework
and Vietnam Government’s regulations.
36. By the monitoring time, compensation plans have been conducted as follows:
• Completed plans:
o Compensation plan for resettlement area: completed
o Compensation plan for the main work items, auxiliary work items, access road to
resettlement area: completed;

compliance with the project’s procedures/process. Some households having complaint about their
affected assets have been re-checked their affected assets and established detailed
compensation and assistance plan by the SB4HPMU in coordination with LFDC and other
stakeholders.
IV.3. Unit Price and Compensation Pricing
38. Compensation unit price applied for households affected by the project is the unit price
annually promulgated by Quang Nam PPC. Basing on the basis, compensation pricing for
affected assets of households was implemented based on the regulated unit price.
39. By the monitoring time, the compensation pricing has been basically completed. For non-
flooded land area of Pa Rum B village, the latest unit price in 2015 - at the time of preparing
compensation plan will be applied.
40. Compensation plan approved by Nam Giang DPC is presented in detailed summary table
of compensation, assistance and resettlement value in accordance with each work item for each
affected asset such as houses, land, trees, crops and various assistances of each affected
household.
IV.4. Compensation and assistance payment

44. In July 2014, PMU coordinated with stakeholders to conduct compensation payment for
the work items of reservoir flooded area from dam to Khe Vinh (the second and third phases) to
62 HHs in Vinh village, Ta Poo commune with total amount of VND 41,673,791,000.
45. Procedures of compensation and assistance payments are implemented publicly and
transparently, with the coordination of SB4PMU staff and local staff as well as AHs. Project
relevant documents are delivered to AHs, both husband and wife are able to sign in the
compensation payment minutes and both are owners of saving accounts to which compensation
amount is deposited.
46. In general, compensation and assistance payments for AHs was made without much
difficulty during the compensation payment thanks to successful consultation and advanced
negotiation with AHs. Until the monitoring time, independent monitoring consultant has not
acknowledged any problem during compensation payment process for affected households.
IV.5. Site Clearance
47. All work items’ sites were cleared and handed-over to contractors. Site clearance
basically encountered no difficulties because there has been the agreement of all stakeholders.
At present, the Project is speeding up the completion and construction contractors are also
quickly executing construction of works to meet the scheduled progress.

48. At the time of monitoring, site clearance for all categories of the project has been
substantially completed (See the above table for details). At the time of monitoring, site clearance
for almost work items of the project has been done. The AHs and PMB prepared Commitment not
to encroach the cleared site in order to help Song Bung 4 PMB hand-over land to contractors
timely for their clearing of reservoir, ensuring that the project’s reservoir will be inundated in
August 2014.
49. Beside advantages, site clearance also faced many difficulties and was implemented
behind the approved schedule: utilization of forest products was prolonged due to rainy season in
the central region; inventory and determination of current status of land faced a lot of challenges
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 19
because of large area of the project site; conversion of forest use purpose took a lot of time as
the newly issued policies had to be submitted to and reviewed by departments at various levels
for approval; the capacity of local officers is limited; assessment of current status of land in
reservoir area of households in Vinh village and DMS of over-flooded land of households in Pa
Rum B village had to be submitted for approval of People’s Committee of Nam Giang district
before IOL, etc.
IV.6. Construction of resettlement sites
50. The resettlement sites were constructed to relocate 4 villages of 2 communes to the new
residential area replacing the old villages which will be flooded by reservoir. The 4 villages
including PaDhi, Pa Rum A, Pa Rum B of Zuoih commune; village No. 2 (new village) of Ta Poo
commune.
51. The project has constructed the Zuoih administrative office in Cong Don village and 3
RSs in the commune, including:
• PaDhi RS with 67 households;
• Pa Rum A RS with 48 households;
• Pa Rum B RS with 64 households;
52. Pa Pang RS (Ta Poo commune) for 53 resettled HHs from former Village No. 2 has been
completed under the project.
53. In resettlement sites, expected cultivation land area to be allocated to RHs include: (i)
400m2 of residential land; (ii) 600m2 of garden land; (iii) agricultural production land: 1.5 ha of
terrain land and about 8-10ha of agro-forestry land (forest land allocated for village community).
Besides, it was estimated that the rice cultivation land area in project villages will be reclaimed
with a total of about 10ha, of which, Pa Pang village has about 6ha, Village No. 2 have about 4ha
respectively.
54. RS construction plan was prepared upon the agreement with AHs.
55. All work items designed in association with RS, including concrete road, bridge, Guol
house, water tank, school, health care station etc were built, handed over by the PMU and put
into operation since October 2014 (proven via the Minute of hand-over of work items to local
authority).
56. The construction of administrative area in Zuoih commune has been completed and
handed over for operation. It includes administrative office for People Committee of Zuoih
commune along with the commune health station and schools.
57. Most of the AHs in villages of Pa Rum A, Pa Rum B, PaDhi utilized frames of their old
houses to build new houses for saving cost. In contrast, all households in village No.2
constructed their houses by new materials. Allocation of resettlement lots was achieved by
random drawing or based on the agreement of the AHs on the position of land lots.
58. In general, construction progress of resettlement sites met the schedule agreed by ADB’s
mission through periodical field trips. As construction progress of resettlement sites is subject to
overall schedule of the project, completion time of resettlement sites was adjusted to be in line
with actual progress of the project. In fact, resettlement of local people was finalized at the end of
2013.

59. Outstanding issues from the flood in late 2013 such as erosion of slope on internal road in
Pa Dhi village, sunk road causing cracks in wall of kindergarten school in many location;
damages of bridge in Pa Rum A, landslide at the slope of suspended bridge in Pa Rum B, landslide
of slope obstructing the access to RSs in Pa Rum B and Pa Dhi etc were fixed and addressed by PMU
and handed over to local authority. By monitoring time, there was no record on such outstanding
issues in the RSs.
IV.7. Income Restoration and Livelihood Development for APs
IV.7.1. Changes in social awareness, production capacity and capital utilization of affected
HHs living in the reservoir flooded area
Positive changes
60. Technical assistance on growing and caring crops for forest plantation (loong boong, gio)
to all resettled HHs (in Village 2, Pa Rum A, Pa Rum B and Pa Dhi villages) initially helped people
in these villages better sustain their livelihoods thank to suitability of these activities toward the
soil conditions and production practices of those AHs.
61. Some HHs in Village 2 having better conditions (with pond for fish raising) did raise fish
and earn positive results. Though the production was not large enough for selling out, this could
somehow help to improve the nutrition in their daily meals, especially for their children. It is known
that the resettled villages are all far from the commune markets, meaning it is difficult for these
AHs to have fresh food on daily basis. Therefore the results gained from this activity should be
recognized.
62. Non-agriculture livelihood: there appeared some non-agriculture livelihood activities in
some villages such as Pa Pang, Pa Rum B such as transportation and small grocery shops.
However, the percentage of HHs engaged to this activity is very small (only 1-2 HHs per village).
63. Attendance in the project training enabled some HHs to be more active in selecting some
cash-crops for plantation to generate more income (pineapple).
64. Some HHs are able to replicate and effectively apply the training models such as raising
pigs in pigsty and not grazing outside; buying breeders of cow, pig, duck for more livestock
activity, buying seedling for forest plantation (for example: 35 HHs in village 2 together bought
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 21
2,750 huynh dan trees from Le Giang company in Gia Lai to grow in the community forest area
planned and assigned by the Project).
Non-positive changes
65. Like the previous monitoring, by this monitoring time, the production cycles of some crops
from previous livelihood models, which were recommended for AHs, ended so the Consultant
were able to collect no images from the field about the development of such crops. Thus, it is
difficult to determine whether there is any positive change in the crop production activity of AHs.
On the other hand, livestock activity saw no positive changes.
66. Content of some agricultural production models is not completely appropriate, leading to
low sustainability. After completion of CHF project, only model of bean production has been
maintained. However, as mentioned in the previous reports, planting bean on slope land in the
affected villages is not reasonable in our opinion. The reasons are: Although models of growing
beans could quickly generate income for APs, their sustainability is not high given the fact that
these cash-crops are grown in slope land where there are direct impacts of soil erosion, water
runoff which fast reduce the soil fertility and crop yield in following crop seasons.
67. The time for implementation of livelihood improvement overlapping that for resettlement of
affected people and construction of work items in RSs under SB4HP is not suitable. Accordingly,
affected people in 4 resettled villages only focused on moving their houses, assets and building
resettlement houses and thus, paid little attention to caring the provided models of cow, pig,
ducks.
68. The proportion of dead poultry and cattle to the total number of domestic animals
provided by the project which is over 80% in all villages is extremely high (according to all
interviewed households). Moreover, the number of cows provided by the project to AHs in Pa
Rum B village were dead and then their pathogen drifted with the stream, making the cows of the
households in Pa Pang village die and infecting the cows of other households (according to Mr.
B’Nuoc Chop, the village head). Breeding models of the project haven’t been promoted.
69. In addition to limited awareness of cattle breeding development of local people (habit of
cattle grazing), insufficient area of residential land and garden for construction of breeding
facilities are one of the reasons why most of the households maintain livestock grazing.
70. Veterinarians trained by the project monitor breeding activities of AHs in the villages
irregularly, resulting in local epidemics not timely detected.
71. Sustainability of the project’s veterinary cabinet supply is not high. Specifically, by the
time of monitoring, there isn’t any kind of medicine added into the cabinet and thus this activity is
useless for AHs to treat diseases for poultry and cattle (according to observation of monitoring
team and opinions of Blinh Nhan, A lang Bot in village No. 2; Hoih Son; A Viet Thoi in Pa Rum A
village, etc.).
72. On the cultivated land area for rice production, local people harvest only one crop due to
difficult conditions of terrain and water. In addition, since rice production is a new type of
livelihood for local people, not all AHs could succeed in this activity although JFPR project
conducted training in rice production technique and water operation process many times.
IV.7.2. Project’s effect in the downstream area
73. The downstream area of the project is in Dai Loc district, Quang Nam province. However,
both A Vuong and Song Bung Hydropower systems discharge water into this area thus,
identification of impacts caused by each Hydropower project is quite difficult due to the overlap
effect. The downstream area only conducted livelihood restoration activity because there is no
household lost assets or displaced. The project has identified specific areas affected by it to
provide assistance, including: Pa Dau village II, Thanh My town, Dai Son commune, Dai Loc

74. In general, livelihood models assistance for households living in the downstream area has
brought positive effectiveness. Model of livestock has gained certain result, especially model of
raising cow. By the monitoring time, some models had been well developed. Models of growing
rice and bean also well developed. Veterinarians in villages were trained on enhancing veterinary
experience and capacity in order for them to treat common diseases such as (diarrhea and
Pasteurellosis). Training on non-agricultural models such as training on enhancing awareness of
people of sanitation was improved.
IV.8. Gender, Ethnic Minorities and Healthcare Considerations
IV.8.1. Gender issues
75. According to Mrs. Tran Thi Chien Thang, Deputy Chairman of Nam Giang District
Women’s Union, the Project did consult, provide information and communicate to ethnic
community and women in concerned villages.
76. The district Women’s Union, in coordination with commune Women’s Union,
communicated on prevention of woman trafficking in all communes in the district. In 2013, there
were 8 women trafficked in Ca Dy commune (3 women), Ta Bhing (3 women), Cha Val (2
women) while Zuoih and Ta Poo communes in the Project saw no human trafficking case. The
traffickers, who were not the local people and had no relation to the Project, were eventually
arrested.
IV.8.1.1. Reservoir area
77. Participating in resettlement activity: there have been 188 out of 412 women participating
in community consultation meetings in all affected villages. In Zuoih and Tà Pơơ communes,
Communes’ Development Boards were established with participation of communal Women’s
Union. Especially, Development and Resettlement Groups were established in four resettled
villages and Pa Pang village in which number of women participating in these groups includes:
one community facilitator; one agricultural extension staff and one veterinarian. In addition,
women also participated in medical team and women’s union in villages.
78. Participating in conducting training classes on:
• Agriculture: (i) Participating in livelihood models: growing vegetable, rice and black
bean ; raising chicken, geese, cow, sow and fish. In addition, women also participated in
growing grass for cattle.
• Non-agriculture : i) participating in ‘literacy classes’ in the resettled villages and Pa Pang
village with 192 people who registered in attending three times/week/five months ; (ii)
Participating in capacity building classes such as, study tour at the resettled villages
under Son La Hydropower project in Son La province, communication campaign of
enhancing awareness of community health; training on enhancing capacity for health
programme in villages and enhancing capacity for officer of health in villages. (iii)
providing health facilities such as, medical box, medicine, bin and other infrastructures.
IV.8.1.2. Gender issues in the downstream area
79. In Pa Toih village, two community facilitators were employed (including one woman) to
support livelihood activities.
80. Participating in conducting training classes:
• Agriculture: (i) participating in livelihood models: growing black bean ; raising chicken,
geese, cow and sow. In addition, women also participated in some livelihood models
such as : growing banana and pineapple.
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 29
• Non-agriculture:(i) communication campaign of enhancing awareness of community
health; training on enhancing capacity for health programme in villages and enhancing
capacity for officer of health in villages. (iii) providing health facilities such as, medical
box, medicine, bin and other infrastructures; (iii) participating in model of rice bank-
turning in Pa Dau 2 village. In addition, women also participated in developing model of
traditional brocade weave in order to enhance living condition for women in Pa Dau 2
village, Thanh My town.
81. In general, women in the project’s area have been encouraged to participate in the
livelihood models to enhance awareness and to access to a new livestock and production
orientation. Women in the resettled villages have gradually participated in social work and
management (Pa Rum A village with the village’s head is woman). Villages’ head and people
living in related villages confirmed that the project has sufficiently conducted consultation
activities with participation of community including: women, villages’ head, households, elder and
directly affected people as well as indirectly affected people.
IV.8.2. Ethnic minority considerations
82. It was said by Mrs. Tran Thi Chien Thang - Deputy Chairman of Nam Giang District
Women’s Union, the Project did satisfactorily pay compensation to local people; adequately assist
affected ethnic people and women in terms of cash, seedlings, materials and training on
livelihood development.
83. Mr. Mac Truong – officer of the District Division of Ethnic Minorities said that the project
livelihood activities were all designed based on the thorough consultation with the ethnic people
in the concerned villages. However, the coordination between his division to the project is not as
expected. Though Nam Giang District Ethnic Committee is one of the members of RMIU, they
has no participation in the project implementation given the coordination among the divisions in
RMIU which is only in formalism. Thus, their voice has no weight to the Project regarding the
conservation and promotion of local custom, especially in terms of construction of houses in RSs,
in which many Kinh workers illicitly charged higher than market price when doing construction
(local people build their houses by themselves); as well as of people’s management of
compensation money and construction of Guol house in concerened villages. In addition, the
representative of the Ethnic Division also supposed this as the local authority toward local people
despite the limitations in coordination among the divisions. Nevertheless, Mr. Truong also
recognized that the Project succeeded in minimizing the potential risks during the resettlement.
84. Mr. Nguyen Cong Binh, Director of Nam Giang LFDC commented on the ethnic issues as
follows: i) regarding the good points: the Project paid close attention to needs of local people, let
them choose the location for resettlement sites, build houses by themselves as well as allow
them to select the locations for schools and health care stations. The Project also provided
consultation to people regarding these matters. ii) On the other hand, regarding the drawbacks,
given the fact that local people have rights to decide about matters, it resulted in some problems
such as few students in comparison with the scale of school; the inconvenient topographical
conditions of RS in Pa Dhi village (Zuoih commune) though the people chose it by themselves.
This location is 3.7 km long, which is both inconvenient and not to the eyes given the traditional
standards for a village. In addition, despite the adequate public consultation, there are some
details not grasped by ethnic people, which led to their grievances. For this matter, the Consultant
found that, many schools in Pa Rum A, Pa Rum B, village 2, Pa Dhi village are of such scale
because of the direction from Nam Giang District Party Committee and Quang Nam Provincial
People’s Committee, who want to develop the infrastructure in anticipation for needs in future and
better facilitate the study of local students. Besides, the location of RS also followed the selection
of local people through the consultation and it is also difficult to allocate the resettlement sites
given the complex topography and limited land fund.
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 30
85. Concerning the infrastructure in the RSs, the village leader of Pa Dhi village, Zuoih
commune recognized the adequate provision of electricity, road, school, health stations and
domestic water. The local people have settled down and generally satisfied with improved
spiritual and physical living conditions. However, as the water pipelines are made of plastic, it is
easy to be broken given the topographical conditions of the villages, resulting in regular water
shortage. Mrs. Blieng Bel, Blieng Trinh, and A Lang Luon in Pa Rum A village said that there are
about 10 HHs lacking water due to broken water pipelines, which were caused by the storm and
landslide. In addition, some HHs even broke the pipelines to take water to their houses when
needed. It was also found by the Consultant that one of the reasons for water shortage in many
households is they didn’t follow the procedures trained by the project. On the other hand, villagers
also play the ape of the others or seek the water sources near their houses to use. It is also the
main reasons for the rapid degrade and damages of the water source provided by the project.
86. It was reflected by the people in Pa Dhi village, regarding the cemetery, it is locate on the
other side of the reservoir why they are not provided with the boats, they got stuck when there is
a person who passes away while Co Tu traditions and customs do not allow bringing the dead
person along the access road to their field to the cemetery. However, the Consultant learned that
the location of each village’s cemetery is selected by the villagers, thus, there was no plan to
cross the reservoir to reach Pa Dhi’s cemetery. On the other hand, the needs for boat will not be
satisfied as it is related to the reservoir security and protection. In general, it is the custom of Co
Tu people that the graves will be deserted after the dead is buried, such opinions were not
reasonable.
IV.8.3. Healthcare and other considerations
87. Health stations have been built and come into operation to meet local people’s health
care demands. New medical equipment and facilities will provide better health care services to
local people. Schools have also been built, which help local students to save more time to go to
school than before.
88. Most of households live in the traditional way: raising cattle around their houses, domestic
animals are kept under the house floor, etc. which has more or less impacts on their health.
89. Although community supervision group has its members in charge of healthcare, public
hygiene and health care have not been taken into consideration in the affected villages. Training
classes on public hygiene and health care have been organized for people however effectiveness
brought by the classes is not high due to local people’s habit.
90. In general, the status of health care and medical conditions of AHs has been improved
since the project was implemented. This will gradually improve the health of local people in the
near future. Since the moving in RS, there has been no epidemic influencing the health of
communities in villages.
IV.9. Complaints and Grievance Redress
91. Grievances have been settled in line with the procedures prescribed in REMDP. All
questions/complaints on quantity and types of affected assets had been publicly tackled by Nam
Giang RMIU in combination with PMU, CPCs and AHs. The appraised results had been recorded
and certified by all the stakeholders, and DMS results had been revised correctly before making
the compensation pricing.

Summarize the main content of Announcement No. 85/TB-UBND by Nam Giang DPC on handling remaining issues of Song Bung 4 HPP
Announcement No. 85-TB/UBND dated August 15, 2014 by Nam Giang DPC which was announced by Chairman –A Lang Mai at the meeting
of handling remaining issues for HHs affected by Song Bung 4 HPP:
� Consented to considering compensation and assistance for affected land plots in Khe Giua area and HH of Mr. Blup Nheu in accordance
with regulation and coordinated with the client, related agencies and Ta Poo CPC in handling situation of Mr. Nguyen Hoa Ninh HH.
� For unflooded land area in Prum B, because affected HHs could not cultivate on the former land area, the client and local authorities
consented to compensating for the affected HHs, conducted zoning measurement (zoning dossier has not been completed), and continued
urging the client and LFDC to review and complete the dossier and establish compensation plan in accordance with the regulation.
According to verification of Nam Giang district’s LFDC and Topographic Map of Quang Nam Provincial Environment Monitoring and Analysis Centre, it
is identified that affected land area is productive forestry land but trees growing on the land are mainly natural trees such as: Flagellariaceae, Bambusa
procera, Arrenga sacchariferasp, Baccaurea sapida, Mangifera and Lausium domestium Corr …and there is no planted trees as other land plots
cultivated by local people. Thus, the land recommended to be being used by HHs is unreasonable.
According to Item 3, Article 10 of Decision No. 23/QĐ-UB dated September 30 2010 on regulating cases not being compensated, specifically: annual
crop land and aquaculture land will not be used for 12 consecutive months, perennial crop land will not be used for 18 consecutive months, and forestry
land will not be used for 24 consecutive months.
Through field monitoring missions, reports of District’s Appraisal Council and Quang Nam Provincial Environment Monitoring and Analysis Centre,
zoning dossier has not been completed to hand over to LFDC thus, the LFDC does not have a basis to establish compensation plan. As a result,
compensation payment for these HHs has not been conducted.
� According to the regulation, HHs in Khe Giua will not be compensated for their affected land. However, according to ADB’s policy, it needs
to avoid affecting HHs’ livelihood so that Independent Monitoring Consultant recommended that the client should consider reasonable
assistance plan for these HHs due to losing income source from forestry auxiliary products.

92. Due to good information dissemination, there have been few grievances from people. During the project implementation process (since 2009),
DCARB has received more than 50 people’s grievance letters with main contents focusing on unit price, errors in the DMS and recommendation on
assistance policy. The grievance letters have been resolved in accordance with regulation and there has been no grievance letter extended the time of
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 34
resolving and affected the project implementation process. (After receiving grievance letter, DCARB/LFDC together with HHs verified assets through
measuring and re-checking assets as mentioned in the grievance letter under the witness of local authority’s representatives. If asset is missed out, it will
be supplemented in compensation plan, if asset is not missed out as mentioned in the grievance letter, it will not be compensated. All of the grievances
have been feed backed /answered by Nam Giang district’s LFDC through official note).
IV.10. Coordination among Stakeholders
93. Coordination among stakeholders in the implementation of compensation and resettlement has been established, as described in REMDP.
94. In general, close cooperation between SB4HPMU, Quang Nam PPC, Nam Giang DPC and CPCs had been done and in compliance with their
assigned functions and tasks in REMDP. District’s Land Fund Development Centre is the core agencies with the task of collecting, summarizing and
preparing annual report then submitting to chairman of DCARB for signing. In case, it needs to coordinate with PMU in conducting DMS and establishing
compensation plan or handling grievance of affected HHs, the District’s LFDC will organize meeting to assign its staffs to participate in resolving. There
are some shortcomings to be resolved including (i) delay in inventory, measurements for compensation for HHs in Pa Rum B village with non-flooded
area ; (ii) revise the decision and progress of planting forest to make up for the area affected by the Project etc.
IV.11. SB4HPMU Internal Monitoring
95. Internal monitoring activities of SB4HPMU were conducted on the monthly and quarterly basis through monthly and quarterly reports submitted to
ADB from EVN.
96. The Project information/data filing and documentation had been done well by SB4HPMU. The information of project activities is always fully
updated. Besides, the SB4HPMU makes favourable conditions for ADB’s consultants and IMC to access and collect required data in timely manner.
SB4HPMU submits monthly and quarterly reports to EVN for reviewing and forwarding to ADB.

V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
V.1. Conclusions
V.1.1. Resettlement and Compensation
97. SB4HPMU and stakeholders have implemented well the project information
dissemination, which helped local households understand the project clearly.
98. DMS, compensation option preparation, compensation payment and resettlement are
strictly complied by SB4HPMU and stakeholders in line with procedures specified in REMDP.
These activities were usually behind the schedule due to the inventory, compensation option
preparation and submission took times for appraisal.
99. There is no difficulty in site clearance thanks to the negotiation with local people about not
occupying the acquired land areas. The existing item of non-flooded area in Pa Rum B Village
where the people couldn’t come back for production is being resolved. However, there are some
problems as people claimed for land in the area planned as the forest land. .
100. RS construction schedule was revised to be consistent with the actual construction
progress upon the agreement with ADB Mission. Basically, the progress keeps the schedule. At
present, people in the resettlement villages have finished constructing houses for living and
moved to settle down.
101. Grievances of local people had been timely and satisfactorily resolved.
102. Issue of land use right certificates (including residential land, production land) for
households in resettled villages was submitted to DPC for approval and LURCs were issued to
each household, which was finished in late October.
V.1.2. Livelihood restoration, gender, ethnic minority development, healthcare service
103. Livelihood restoration and living rehabilitation activities for AHs had been implemented by
JFPR and achieved some progress.
104. The focus of livelihood assistance activities was on agro-forestry, besides, non-agriculture
activities like vocational training, driving, etc. have also been implemented.
105. Most of AHs pay no attention to future livelihood development after Project completion
and without assistance from project staff. As aforesaid, this is due to the Co Tu community living
features of relying on available local sources. The locals think that the compensation they receive
can help them lead the lives in a long period of time without other activities. Local people think
they can survive by exploiting the resource instead of planning for future. With the compensation
amounts which are much greater than what AHs had before, most of them feel satisfied and think
that their families can survive for long time based on that amount without any other activities due
to limited educational level. Most of the AHs believe they are under prioritized subsidy policy by
GoV in food supplies, healthcare and education services. Thus, livelihood development for the
future is not of great impact on their current daily lives.
106. Gender equity and ethnic minority activities had been effectively integrated into the
project activities. Training topics for women only focused on raising their awareness of social and
healthcare issues. The strengthening on household expenditure management capacity (which
could increase the position of Co Tu women in their families) has not yet been satisfactorily
mentioned.
107. The construction of Guol house and worship in accordance with traditional customs has
been implemented in accordance with traditional customs of Co Tu people. Health stations and
Independent Monitoring Report No.12 Resettlement and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (REMDP) Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project – funded by ADB
VICA Consultants Ltd., Page 36
schools have been basically built and come into operation. Healthcare and medical services had
initially implemented at all project villages/ communes by members of village resettlement groups.
108. Local communities have set up a water resource maintenance team (checking the
pipeline, dredging water sources) to ensure quality of domestic water for local people.
V.2. Recommendations
V.2.1. Compensation and resettlement
109. Regarding information dissemination: Currently, the project has been completed and put
into use thus, during the operational process of the project, protection measures used for the
project as well as arising issues related to the reservoir should be disseminated to people.
110. Compensation payment for non-flooded area of households in Pa Rum B village should
be completed promptly.
111. To deal with the rainy season at the end of the year, PMU is requested to continue to
cooperate with local authorities and households to prepare a more effective anti-flood plan.
112. To avoid violation in DMS and compensation plan preparation like the case found by the
functional agency at grassroots level in 2011, it is recommended that the PMU should review and
more strictly monitor this activity in the project area.
113. For household living in Khe Giua, Vinh village that are not compensated in accordance
with Official Announcement No. 85/TB-UBND dated August 25, 2014 by Nam Giang district
people’s committee, it is recommended that the client should consider to provide additional
assistance for these HHs due to losing income source from forestry auxiliary products.
114. It is recommended that Ta Poo CPC quickly establish plan of handing over land to HHs
affected by Song Bung 4 Hydropower project to be the basis for establishing income restoration
assistance plan for these HHs. In addition, for HHs in Pa Pang village, it is recommended to
consider providing additional assistance for them due to losing income source from forestry
auxiliary products under land’s area being used by people in village No. 2 (exception of 1.5ha of
land handed over to one household in village No. 2).
V.2.2. Livelihood activities:
115. The time for implementation of income restoration activities should be after the local
people settle down in the RS.
116. Development of demonstrations and selection of seedlings:
• Models of cultivating on slope land or growing drought-tolerant crops (various types of
bean) on slope land with biological shield. The crops which are expectedly selected to be
biological shield must be drought-tolerant ones with a well-developed root system and
land holding capacity to minimize soil erosion and washout, or model of planting banana
on slopes.
• Model of breeding productive goat and meat goat in some villages such as Pa Rum A, Pa
Rum B and Pa Dhi.
117. Diversification of livelihood activities:
Opening of shops selling agricultural materials: result of livelihood activities shows that models of
growing rice and bean and breeding sow achieved initial success. Hence, in order to scale-up
these models in the affected villages, CHF and stakeholders should consider encouraging and
instructing some Co Tu households who possess good educational background to open shops
selling agricultural materials. This will provide both supply of agricultural materials (fertilizer,
feedstuffs, etc.) and job opportunities and source of income generation for these households.

118. Training and study tours:
• Consider opening training courses in livestock and farming ;
• Hold more training classes with method of “Farmer to farmer training”;
• Study tours to the places where Co Tu farmers do business well within and outside the
province should be conducted;
• Training on household expenditure management for women in affected villages should
also be conducted.
119. Vocational training: Nam Giang is one of the 62 poor districts of the country which benefit
from 30A program of the Government. Therefore, with the budget for assistance of vocational
training, Livelihood Assistance Board of Quang Nam province and Nam Giang district should
consider cooperating with Division of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affair of Nam Giang district,
Labor, Department War Invalids and Social Affair of Quang Nam province and the enterprises
which want to recruit labors for export, especially recruiting young labors in the project area to
send them to foreign markets for working; or cooperating with the enterprises in the province to
recruit labors to work in factories managed by such enterprises.
120. It is necessary to integrate livelihood activities such as cultivating short-day crops on
slopes with land protection measures by implementing demonstration (instead of stopping at
dissemination level like what the district livelihood board have been implementing)
121. The sustainability of supply of cabinet of veterinary after the project completion should be
taken into account.
122. Labors trained to be drivers should receive assistance to find jobs in the district.
V.2.3. Gender, ethnic minorities, health and medical services
123. It is necessary to provide training in household budget management for efficient
management of compensation payment.
124. It is essential to encourage people to share their experience in efficient management and
utilization of money and ensure consolidation in families and the community of Co Tu people.
125. It is recommended to promote the livelihood improvement models via farming
development activities and service supply which suit the capacity of local ethnic people.
126. Conflicts related to land dispute, compensation rate, customs and habits, especially
funerals and graves of local people should be considered, prevented and resolved satisfactorily.
The Project should work with the commune authority and officers in villages and coordinate
among the commune, villages and District division of Ethnic Minorities to address the grievances
raised by the local people etc.
127. It is necessary to enhance the participation of women in particular and Co Tu ethnic group
in general in community activities and their idea sharing/contribution in meetings leaded by village
heads or women’s union. Suitable incentive actions (physically and mentally) should be taken.
128. It is essential to enhance key farmers (Co Tu group), especially women, those want to
enrich and have communication skills to share production experiences to other households in the
community. They should be provided assistance in implementation of suitable livelihood
development activities and encouraged to share information with other households in the
village/commune.
129. Training courses on gender equality should be held at all villages (for both men and
women). Periodic contests on gender equality should be organized among the project affected
villages and communes. Rewards should be given to those with good achievements.

Annex 7: Grievance and redressing situation as of March/2015
1/ Village
Households having land in Khe Giua area have claimed the compensation and the
Commune’s People’s Committee has confirmed the origin of such land area in the former Prao
village which was merged in Vinh village now. These land areas were used for production,
farming before 2008 without disputes among related HHs.
Based on the Minutes of field survey prepared by Agriculture and Rural Development,
Forest Management, Natural Resources & Environment sectors, Center for Land Development, ,
Project Management Unit of Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project, the Provincial Center for Natural
Resources and Environment Engineering and Ta poo commune authorities together with the
monitoring mission at Khe Giua area on 09/8/2013, 30/8/2013 and 17/12/2013, HHs’ land lots on
the maps No. 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13 are evaluated to be the natural forest, with bushes, without the
signal of cultivated production.
According to the minutes of the meeting dated 17.06.2014, since 1975, the local people
have relocated in Vinh village but they often returned to the old places to take care of trees
planted by their ancestors and built camps for breeding cattle. However, according to some local
people’s ideas, it is customary that once moving to other places, local villagers would not come
back. On the other hand, this area is covered with big trees, and indeterminable time of
cultivation. Only some lots are covered with Loong Bong, Ta Vat trees, big trees and bushes and
some camps which have been built for 3-4 years. Some HHs claimed that they are the
descendants of old Prao villagers and inherited land from their ancestors but their land has not
been measured. These HHs include: Ho A Rat Van, A Lang Ro, A Lang Huoi, B Lup Penh, Po
Loong Nhon,.... The land area claimed by such HHs is located quite far from their existing living
places, with difficulties in travelling, so it is impossible for local people to walk and cultivate
regularly in such a large area (some HHs having 10 ha). According to the map extracted by the
Provincial Center for Natural Resources and Environment Engineering, such land area is the
productive forest land, but the current status of the plants checked includes natural plants such as
water Rattan, Bambusa balcooa, Ta Val, Strawberry, carambola, Loong Boong,etc. As a result,
HHs’ proposals on such land area are not appropriate.
According to the Item 3, Article 10, the decision 23 / QD- UBND dated 30/9/2010 of Quang
Nam PPC, the following land acquisition cases are not compensated: land for annual crops,
aquaculture, land for producing salt which is not used in a period of twelve consecutive months
(12 months); perennial crop land which is not used in a period of consecutive eighteen months
(18 months); forest land which is not used for a period of consecutive twenty four months (24
months).
Through field surveys and reports No. 07/BC-HDTD dated 26/12/2013 of the District’s
Appraisal Board; Report No. 156/TTKT-BCDD dated 31/12/2013 of Quang Nam provincial Center
for Natural Resources and Environment Engineering, the Center for Natural Resources and
Environment Engineering is the independent Consultant firm to conduct zoning documents for
Project Management Unit of Song Bung 4 Hydropower Project but it cannot complete the zoning
documents to hand over to the Center for Land Development. Consequently, the Center for Land
Development has no basis for preparing compensation options.
The Center for Land Development has reported this issue to the District’s People’s
Committee (DPC) and the DPC has issued the Announcement No. 85/TB-UBND dated 15/8/2014
on the conclusion of Mr. A Lang Mai – Chairman of the DPC in the meeting of solving issues
relating compensation and site clearance for construction projects in the district’s area, in August
2014, with the contents: Agree to not consider the compensation and allowances for acquired
land lots in Khe Giua area.

The Center for Land Development has cooperated with the Client and Ta Po CPC to
organize a meeting to explain HHs about the conclusion of the Chairmain of DPC. However, to
date, HHs of B Lup Thi, Coor Nhung, A Lung Tre, A Lang Mlech still propose related stakeholder
to consider the compensation.
2/ Pa Pang village
On 08/10/2014, the Center for Land Development received complaints from 23 HHs living
in Pa Pang village on continuing proposal for compensation for the around 70 ha of land area
cultivated by local people living in village 2.
Regarding this issue, the DPC has issued the Decision No. 936/QD-UBND dated
28/3/2014 on establishing the Review team to check the status of productive land used by local
people living in village 2, Pa Pang village, Ta Poo commune. The team is led by the Deputy-head
of District’s Division of Natural Resources and Environment. At present, the team is conducting
the measurement to collect and consolidate data for reporting and proposing the solutions.
3/ The land area above the flooded area in Village 2
Some HHs in Village 2 proposed the compensation for the land area above the flooded
area.
For the cases of unflooded land area in the former Village 2 on the North Bank of Song
Bung river, in the past, it was confirmed by stakeholders that this land area is the unused
mountainous and hilly land which is planned to be the protective forest. The resettlement area is
about 5.8km far from the productive area. The Client has agreed to build the road to local people
to go back for production so no compensation payment is made.
So far, complaints have been basically solved and only some have been left. The Center
for Land Development will cooperate with the Client and local authorities to continue explaining
and disseminating policies on compensation and allowances to local people.
