    I. INTRODUCTION

    1. The Ho Chi Minh City Long Thanh Dau Giay (HLD) Expressway Project is part of theNorth South Expressway which connects District 9, Ho Chi Minh City up to Dong Nai Provincewith the total length of about 51km. The HLD expressway will traverse 4 wards at District 9, Ho

    Chi Minh City and 10 communes with 1 town of Dong Nai Province. The construction of theHCMC - Long Thanh - Dong Nai Expressways places a significant role in the development ofnational and local economies. It would contribute to economic development in other provinces ofsouthern Vietnam by strengthening economic linkage between HCMC and those provincesthrough the Expressway.

    2. A Resettlement Plan (May 2008) was agreed by both the Government of Viet Nam(GOV) and Asian Development Bank based on preliminary design and initial census andinventory of losses. The overall objectives of RP policy are (i) to avoid, if not, minimizeresettlement impacts; (ii) if impacts are unavoidable, RP is prepared in a way to ensure thataffected persons are not worse off; rather, they should be able to at least maintain or otherwiseimprove their pre-project living standards and income-earning capacity. All compensation willbe based on the principle of replacement cost. In addition, allowances will also be provided andsuitable income restoration program will be designed and implemented during projectimplementation.

    3. To date, the Resettlement Plan is being updated by district by the Southern ExpresswayProject Management Unit (SEPMU) following the completion of detailed design. In parallel withthe conduct of census and detailed measurement surveys, SEPMU, with the assistance of theTA Loan consultants, also carried out socio-economic surveys, key informant interviews, andmeetings with the local officials and affected households to determine the severity of impactsand vulnerability of households and discussed suitable approach or strategy in the design andimplementation of income restoration program.

    4. This Income Restoration Program (IRP) will cover households who are consideredseverely affected due to loss of 10% or more of their productive/income generating assets (i.e.,loss of productive land or business). It will also include people who on account of their positionin society and/or their physical and economic situation are less capable of re-establishingthemselves than the others and, therefore, face greater risks of impoverishment. These peopleare those who fall in any of the groups of vulnerable households. For this IRP, they will bereferred to as severely affected and vulnerable households (or SAVH).

    II. INCOME RESTORATION STRATEGY, OBJECTIVES, AND ACTIVITIES

    5. The overall strategy of the IRP is to stabilize the livelihood activities or sources ofsustenance of the SAVHs by focusing on diversified activities to bring immediate income such

    that they will be able to produce for their basic needs and long-term livelihood managementcapacity.

    6. The objectives are to (a) maximize the use of remaining productive lands for foodproduction; (b) create career opportunities through vocational trainings and job creatingactivities; (c) provide technical advice or/and small business/service pilot models for those whowant to venture into business. It will also include capacity building interventions for localauthorities/responsible agencies and mass organizations in program management andimplementation.

    7. The specific activities of the IRP are: (i) provide funds and appropriate technique forSAVHs whose remaining land are still viable to implement agricultural extension models (ii)organize training courses which are suitable to APs capacity; provide supplementary trainings,consulatations, allowance and other supports to participants attending the courses; and (iii)provide technical advise, pilot models on small business/services and other training courses,

    study tours on efficient economic enterprises.

    III. SEVERELY AFFECTED AND VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS

    8. A total of 408 severely affected and vulnerable households in affected districts of DongNai province were identified during the DMS, surveys and interviews with the local officials andaffected people.

    IV. SOCIO-ECONOMICS AND NEEDS ON INCOME RESTORATION OF SAVHs

    11. Age distribution of SAVHs plays an important role in designing appropriate IRP activitiesso that these activities are applicable to individuals or families as well as local conditions. Datashows that the middle-aged labor group from 30-65 years old and the young labors from 16-34years old are in the same percentage with more than 34%.

    1Data were collected through Socio-economic Survey implemented by TA Consultants from Dec., 2008 toApril, 2009.

Based on needs assessment of SAVHs carried out by SEPMU, together with the TALoan consultants, demands for access to loan (292 households) and vocational trainings (194households) were identified in the survey. Group meetings with the affected households alsoshowed the same results. With regard to loan requests, households want to use the money ascapital for agricultural and husbandry activities and business start-up or expansion activities.On vocational trainings, specific areas of interests are driving, sewing, motorbike repair,

    hairdressing, and training related to construction works. Computer literacy, foreign languagestudies were also stated by the household members.

    V. IRP ACTIVITIES

    A. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION

    15. A number of agricultural extension models were initially designed in collaboration withthe concerned Farmers' Associations, Women's Unions, Agricultural Extension Centers andaffected households. Cow-raising, pig-breeding, frog-raising, duck-raising, raising local varietychicken, raising anabas fish on paddy field and raising mushroom were selected as they aresuitable with local conditions, being practiced by some local residents and there is availablemarket to sell the produce.

    16. Households participating in the pilot projects will be selected. A selection criteria will bedesigned by VEC/SEPMU together with the concerned agencies. Households selected will besubject to trainings and will also be required to share experiences and train other affectedhouseholds as well. Given the number of responsibilities in implementing these pilot projects,each selected household will be required to make a commitment in writing (similar to a contract)once they have understood the process and activities involved.

    17. Participating households will visit other livelihood models within or outside Dong NaiProvince as part of their training. They will also be made aware of the risks involved, forexample, disease or death of animals due to lack of or increase in production inputs; or suddendrop in prices at the time of marketing and how these risks can be avoided or mitigated. TheIRP team will ensure continuous support through technical training courses, and closemonitoring of pilot projects to allow timely resolution of constraints and problems encounteredduring implementation.

    18. In any case that households wish to expand their production, the Farmer's Associationand Agriculture Extension Center will assist the households to have access to funds through theSocial Policy Bank or Agriculture and Rural Development Bank.

    B. VOCATIONAL TRAININGS AND JOB PLACEMENT

    19. The trainings provided or being provided organized in the affected districts are limited.The training centers are mostly located in Bien Hoa City and Long Thanh District due to thepresence of industrial zones and factories.

    In Nhon Trach District: there is no center which has no government vocational centers

    except some small private production shops that receive limited trainees.

    In Cam My District: the Government vocational training center has been established but

    there are no training facilities.

    In Thong Nhat District: There is one government vocational training center but has

    limited facilities. There are only some old sewing machines and about 20 computers.

    20. In parallel with the finalization on the type of training courses and participants, variousactivities will also be undertaken:

    Creation of database of interested affected households to reflect qualifications, jobexperience, skills and desired occupation.

    Establish and maintain linkages with the management of construction projects;commercial, industrial and institutional establishments within the Province with theintention of identifying their manpower requirements (i.e. number, qualification, scheduleof deployment, etc.) and securing agreements (quota for hiring) for deployment ofqualified SAH members to fill job vacancies.

    Establish a program to provide information to the affected communes on the availabilityof jobs through posting of job vacancies in the commune offices and through commune'slocal radio.

    Close coordination and establish linkages with the project contractors and consultants torecruit local labors, specially the affected households, on a priority basis. Labor

    standards will be maintained and will incorporate applicable workplace occupationalsafety norms. There will be no differentiation between men and women on payment forwork of equal value, and no child labor will be used for construction and maintenance.

    Establish and maintain linkages with academic and training institutes for training of SAHmembers to qualify for desired job positions

    Conduct job fairs and providing consultation.

    21. The Project will allocate funds for supplementing the required fees and expenses to beincurred by participants. It is estimated that 148 participants will enroll in various trainingcourses.

    22. The consultants (TA or supervision) will monitor the performance of deployed SAH andprovide regular progress reports to VEC/SEPMU.

    C. TECHNICAL ADVISE AND PILOT MODELS ON SMALL BUSINESS/SERVICE

    23. There are households who wish to venture into small business or services. It can eitherbe shops to sell their own products, groceries or service stalls (motorbike repair). SEPMU havesigned the MOU with the Long Thanh Nhon Trach Vocational School to provide technicaladvice, conduct specific trainings on entrepreneurship and carry out some pilot models on small

  • 7/29/2019 Income Restoration Program-Ho Chi Minh City-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway

    8/38

    8

    business/services. Households will also be made aware of what to look into such as the rightproducts, market situation, competition, amount of investments and potential profit, and risksinvolved.

    VI. RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

    24. There are a number of risks related to the pursuit of the IRP. It had to be recognized thatthe implementers are the households themselves and that the roles of VEC/SEPMU andconcerned government agencies and organizations are support in nature. Proper monitoringand appropriate and timely guidance and support is essential in the successful implementationby the SAVHs of their respective livelihood projects. Summary of the risks and mitigation isindicated in table 7 below.

    Table 7. Risks and Mitigations

    Risk Description Mitigation Responsible

    1. Utilization offinancial resources(i.e. compensation

    and allowances; andloans) for non-livelihood relatedexpenses

    Once compensation payments aregiven to the SAH, there is a bigtemptation for households to use the

    amount for other expenses whichthey believe is important but may notbe related to livelihood (i.e.purchase of motorcycle, purchase ofhousehold appliances, payment ofdebts, etc.).

    Advise households to refrain if notminimize the use of their money for

    non-livelihood related expendituresthrough public meetings, groupconsultations.

    2. Availability ofreplacement land

    Based on the land availabilityassessment carried out in 2008,there is an active land market inDong Nai. The risk of not findingreplacement land is low.

    Timely provision ofcompensation payment. Thiswill allow households to buyreplacement land within or innearby districts.

    3. Untimely andinsufficientavailability offinancial and supportservices that cancompromisesuccess of livelihoodprojects

    Risks related to the raising of theseanimals may include pests anddiseases brought about by lack ofproper production inputs, poorsanitation, insufficient knowledge byraisers of appropriate technology,and general negligence on the partof participating households.

    4. Suddenunexpected increasein production inputsat the start ofproduction cycleand/or sudden drop

    in prices ofchickens/hogs at thetime of marketing

    There are instances that thebehavior in the prices for productioninputs and farm products in the openmarket becomes irregular. It ispossible that prices of productioninputs (i.e. feeds, veterinary

    medicine, breeder stock, etc.) at thetime of purchase are higher thanexpected, and farm products getsold at the time prices are low. Thiswill result in higher production cost,lower sales and therefore lower oreven negative net income.

    To help avoid this highlyundesirable situation, it is importantthat regular market information beprovided by concerned governmentagencies to the participatinghouseholds to advise them of

    irregularities in the prices ofessential commodities therebyavoiding income losses resultingfrom price fluctuations.
