7. Installation capacity of Than Giap hydropower plant is 6 MW, average annual output
is approximatetly 21.49 million kWh, is diversion hydropower plant with daily regulated
reservoir. The main specifications are: catchment area to the slected route: 496.8 km2, total

Qmax: 14.10 m3/s; ensure flow is Q đb: 0.94 m3/s, output voltage is 35 kV.
8. This resettlement plan is prepared to ensure that: (i) Involuntary resettlement must be
avoided where possible, or be reduced to the lowest possible extent by selecting appropriate
design options, (ii) Where involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, the resettlement
activities must be prepared and executed with sustainable development programs and
sufficiently provided investment supports, enabling displaced people to benefit from the
subproject. The displaced people will be fully consulted and allowed to participate in
preparing and implementing activities in Resettlement Plan.
II. Objectives
9. The general objective of the external monitor is to provide a third party periodic
review and assessment of:
(i) Resettlement activities, including:
- Achievement of resettlement objectives;
Page 8
8
- Changes in living standards and livelihoods;
- Restoration of the economic and social base of the affected people;
- Effectiveness, impact and sustainability of entitlements and income restoration
programs; and
- Strategic lessons for future policy formulation and planning will also be drawn from
the monitoring and evaluation of resettlement;
(ii) The issues relevant to development for ethnic minority groups:
- How are the mitigation measures proposed and implemented;
- Is there any other negative impace on ethnic minorities that have not been evaluated,
not identified mitigation measures;
- How are the Community Development Supports for ethnic minorities set and
implemented;
- Is the information provided adequately, is the consultation process with ethnic
minorities implemented or implement effectively or not; and
- The grievance redress process about the development plan for ethnic minorities and
other issues that they are facing.
III. Approaches
10. The methods for external monitoring and evaluation of land acquisition, compensation
and resettlement activities include:
- Review of Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS): As soon as the detailed design is
finalized and staked to the ground by Truong Minh Limited Company and CARB,
data collection from all APs to establish their eligibility and entitlements will be
carried out. The data that will be entered into a database to document the following:
a) socio-economic status of affected households; b) nature and extent of losses; and
c) entitlements to compensation and other assistance. These data will be made
available to the EMA, to enable them to establish a baseline for monitoring and
evaluating project benefits. During the conduct of the DMS, the EMA will also
monitor the DMS process to determine and assess if DMS activities are being
carried out in a participatory and transparent manner
- Socio-Economic Survey (SES): The SES is designed to provide a clear comparison
of the success and/or failure of the resettlement program to restore their livelihoods
and living standards. In general, if a lag of 3-5 years or more occurs between census
and SES and actual land acquisition, demographic and socio-economic factors may
change significantly. In this Project, if land acquisition is not carried out within two
years after SES, Truong Minh Limited Company and CARBs will carry out another
SES. A post resettlement survey will also be undertaken by the EMA 6-12 months
following completion of resettlement activities. Special attention will be paid to the
inclusion of women, ethnic groups, the very poor, the landless and other vulnerable
groups, with set questions for women and other target groups; and, the database
disaggregates information by gender, vulnerability and ethnicity.
- Participatory rapid appraisals (PRA): The PRA will involve obtaining information,
identifying problems and finding solutions through participatory means including: a)
key informant interviews; b) focus group discussions on specific topics such as
compensation payment, income restoration and relocation; c) community public
meetings to discuss community losses, integration of resettled households in host
communities or construction work employment; d) structured direct field
observations, for example, of resettlement site development; e) formal and informal
Page 9
9
interviews with affected households, women, ethnic minority, and other vulnerable
groups; and, f) in-depth case studies of problems are identified by internal or
external monitoring and required special efforts to resolve
- Verification of Replacement cost survey: The EMA will also verify whether
compensation paid were at replacement cost. A special market study to validate
whether the rates used in compensation in land and other non-land assets were at
replacement cost will be undertaken.
IV. Capacity requirements to external monitoring agency (EMA)
11. External monitoring agency is a unit who is capable and experienced in the field of
resettlement and social development or ethnic minority. External monitoring agency is
established from those who have experience of implementing monitoring of resettlement,
social and ethnic minority development projects funded by ADB, World Bank, and JICA.
They must have a University degree/postgraduate (social sciences or related field), with at
least 5 years experience in preparation and implementation of resettlement plans,
development plans for EM and can use English very well (writtingn and read).
V. Report
12. The external monitoring agency or EMA, conducted by an experienced resettlement
and social development consultant and selected by PMU (under MOIT). External
monitoring, inspection and evaluation will be made on a yearly basis, except for the first
stage, it is requested to be made twice/year. All external monitoring reports will be made
available to the affected households by placing reports in the commune / ward and field
offices and will be uploaded on WB website. Table 1 and Table 2 below describe
