• Sufficient compensa:on should be made on basis of fuller calcula,on of loss
• Thorough social and environmental impact assessment and prepara,on before rese6lement
• Respect consulta:on and decision by rese6led community in development schemes
• Benefit sharing between electricity operators and affected people
