1.2.3. Ethnic minority development Plan (EMDP)

1. The project is implemented at Phuoc Trung, Phuoc Chinh communes (Bac Ai

district); Tan Rai commune (Ninh Rai district) and Bac Phong commune (Thuan Sac

district).

In the project area, in addition to the Kinh, there are also other ethnic groups such

as the Raglai and a few Cham. Land acquirement for tower foundation and substation

construction can't avoid.

2. In reality, high-voltage transmission lines and substation construction only

cause impacts separately. In addition, almost impacts are temporary. Only land

acquirement for tower foundation and substation construction is pennanent. Trees and

crops within ROW will be cut down to service wire pull and scatter. Therefore, the

project will cause impacts on their life (including culture, economy and society) when it

is implemented.

3. Thap Cham 220kV Substation & connecting branches project need establish

EMDP report because the following reasons:

+ The project crosses production land owned by ethnic minority people. RP and

EMDP implementation assists the project-affected EM people to have an opportunity to

stabilize their life and obtain advantage conditions to develop their economy, income and

improve their I lving standards;

+ EMDP implementation creates conditions in order to ethnic minority people to

raise their awareness on the high-voltage power grid, GOV's project construction

objectives is by project infonnation disclosure, organizing propaganda work and training

in rules of electric safety ...

4. EMDP Report is fom1Ulated based on WB's OP4.l0. This report is established to

meet WB's goals and policies, Feasibility Study and Technical Design Stage. It is based


Thap Cham 22 Ok V substa/io_n_&_·_co_'_tn_ec_t_in..:=:g_h_ra_n_c_he_s ___________ ~Feasibility Study

on the results obtained from surveys and consultation the local authorities, unions and

ethnic minority people 1'1 order to collect their infonnation and feedback on the project,

potential impacts and other influences that are will affect local people.

Moreoyer, EMDP report also rrcommends compensation measures for PAH's

damage and socio-economic benefit enhancement measures for P AH, including local EM

people.

commune (Thuan Bac district), inhabited by households of ethnic the Raglai who live in

dispersion in the hamlets and villages among the Kinh people.

The Rag/ai is main indigenous ethnic groups in the project area.

* The Raglai people's living and production habits

- Language and occupation

The Raglai, also written as Ra-glai (other names: Ra GHiy, Hai, Noana, La Yang)

is ethnic minority, it belongs to the Malay-Polynesian languages. They live mainly in

Ninh Thuan, Khanh Son district - southern ofKhanh Hoa and Binh Thuan provinces.

Previously, the Raglai live by shifting cultivation. Their fields often grow oryza

montana and maize ... Currently, they also cultivate wet rice. Hunting, gathering and

handicrafts (mainly ironwo:k and weaving: trades) played an important role in every

family.

- Community organizations:

The Ragai lives in every "pa-Iay" (every village) on hillland area, flat and near to

water resources. There are often some ten HHs with the same blood in each "pa-Iay". The

family often has parents and unmarried children. I-lead of the "pa-Iay" is "po pa-lay"

(village chief), who is the first person reclaiming the land. Village chief is responsible for


Cham 220kV substation & connecting branches Feasibilitv Study

worshiping Heaven and Earth when having serious drought. "Kay pa-liii' is the most

prestigious person in the same blood group (eld'T village).

-Houses:

House on stilts is the RaglaFs tradition; i house. Distance from ground to floor

isn't higher than 1m.

- Clothing:

It isn't difference in traditional clothing with the other ethnic groups, but it is

influenced by ethnic groups in the same language group such as the Cham, the Ede.

- Marriages:

In Raglai society, the matriarchy still exists with men living at wife's family,

children are born mother's name and the oldest woman in the family inherited the

property. Mother or wife is the owner of the family to decide every thing. If girl falls in

love with a man, her parents will prepare wedding ceremony to married husband for their

girl. In marriage, in addition the right of mother, the role of uncle is rather important. The

Raglai has many families: ChamaJe or Cham Ma-Lec (Vietnamese translates to be Mau),

Pi Nang (Vietnamese translates to be Cau, read is Cao), Ka-Silk or KaTor (Vietnamese

translates to be Bo Bo), Ha Vau (Vietnamese translated as Tro), Pu Puoi, Asah, ... in

which Chamale family is largest. Each of them has a historical story, a legend about the

origin of their family.

- Culture:

+ The Raglai has epIcs, mythology, and legend with historical value, artistic,

educational, and insightful.

Form of sing with replied song is popularly in cultural activities. The Raglai

instruments include different types, in addition gong and Chieng, there are also

monochord, lip pan-pipe, musical instrument by bamboo, ...

+ Over the historical process, culture of the Raglai is influenced by many cultures

of other ethnic groups such as the Kinh, the Cham, the Chu Ru ... Previously, some

researchers judged that Raglai traditional culture has lost much and been heavily affected

by the culture of the Kinh, the Cham especially in expressions such as clothing, housing,

work tools, folk art, culture food ...

However, the Raglai community has also built for themselves a special cultural

space with typical rituals and customs. Through traditional cultural activities, spiritual

life of the Cham partial sketched. One of typical cultural activities is rituals in eating new

rice festival and New Year's customs.

+ Eating new rice ceremony and greeting New Year's custom Raglai:

Origin of festival:

agriculture, the tree gods, the god of the mountain, river... and animal will not come to

destroy crops.

Festival time:

Every year, in March or April when the thunder resounded with the conception to

start clearing land - air of obstruL~ion, negative-positive reconciles, trees are in bud, the

Raglai still organizes eating new rice ceremony.

Space and the community of the festival:

The Raglai has not a village patriarch as the central Highlands ethnic, the head of

ethos is a woman, who decides big matters of the ethnic community. However, although

according to the matriarchal role of women is great, but the ritual worship ceremony held

men, women only play the leading role and housework. Location ritual practice is usually

'chapi'. They confide in each other by the sound of musical instruments and 'giao duyen'

songs such as manhi, hari, sari, mayeng, kathang, doh dam da ra ...

11.1.2. The inhabitants at the affected communes

Survey results show that Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Tlung communes of Bac Ai district

have ethnic minority living.

11.2. General Situations

Like as general policy of Party and State for ethnic minority people, the Raglai in

the project areas have been interest from the local authority and GOV's preferential

policy as programs 134, 135 and 30a. Therefore, the living standard of the people in the

project areas is more and more improved.

In the project localities, the communication systems have been conveniently

developed for goods transport and exchange, ... and there has been much social-cultural

growth, but the lifestyle of eflch ethnic group is different from others owing to the

difference in the groups' awareness of economic development. As cOL1pared with the Kinh

people, the general educational level of the ethnic minority groups as well as their starting

point is relatively lower. The Kinh households have reached better and more consistent

economic growth that: other Raglai' s ethnic households.



It is harder for the Raglai's ethnic households to catch up with the Kinh's rate of

living standard improvement as the former's economy depends on the awareness, the

application of technologies and professional skills to cultivation and husbandry, and to

some extent, their development of production still relies much on nature (the weather).

The Raglai's household deserves proper attention to ensure equality and concern

from the project corresponding to their socio-economic status so as to help them obtain

awareness of the project objectives towards national socio-economic development, hence

becoming aware of their own socio-economic development issues.

So far, all the children from the Raglai in the project communes have been

attending the same schools as the Kinh children, with similar scnooling process.

11.3. Land use right

According to the Law on Land of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, ethnic

minority people have the same right as the Kinh in land ownership and are issued with

certificates of long-term land use right.

11.4. Production

All the affected ethnic minority households within the ROW at the communes of

Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trun); are agricultural production families, living mainly on

cultivation and husbandry.

The main food crops are dry rice, wet rice, com. manioc, peas and beans and a

number of other auxiliary crops.

Perennial trees are mainly cashew trees, forest trees (china trees, eucalyptus trees ...

), and some fruit trees.

Husbandry mainly consists of breeding oxen, cows, and poultry (chickens,

duck ... ).

11.5. Living conditions

- Communication systems are convenient for the inhabitants in the project areas.

In addition to National Road No. IA transited Tan Hai and Bac Phong commune, two

communes Phuoc Trung and Phuoc Chinh have asphalt roads to Commune people's

committee making convenient for people trading.

- Public works: at the communes of Phuoc Trung, Phuoc Chinh, Tan Hai, and Bac

Phong Commune, there are nursery, primary and junior secondary schools for the

children's schooling needs. The communes also have culture houses, post-officl.'s and

health care stations to meet the people's needs.

- Health care: For some years, the project communes have received considerable

investments into health care; in each commune, there is a health care station; at all

residential hubs there are pharmacies of western medicine.


"

Cham 220kV substation & lnn,:'rTll1{T branches Feasibility Study --------------------------~--~

- Service, business: The exchange and trade of commodities in the con munes are

often carried out by retailers who receive goods from trade' people from other localities.

- The main source of income of the people in the projeet areas is from agricultural

production (cultivation and husbandry). Per capita income is around VND 200,000 -

VND 300,000 Imonth.

- Power consumption: 70% - 95% of the households in the project communes use

power supply from the grid.

- Conveniences: In general, most of the families have motorbikes, TVs, radios or

cassette players for entertainment.

- Using fresh water: about 11 %-16% of the families in the proj ect communes have

access to fresh water (from bored wells, dug well and tap-water).

II.6. Education

In the project communes, favorable communication systems have contributed to

the high rate of children attending school and to a very low rate of illiteracy among

children. Primary and nursery schools have been constructed near areas inhabited by

ethnic minority people to encourage school-age children to attend classes, resulting in a

reduction of students quitting school.



III. LEGAL BASIS

This EMDP Report formulation bases on the OP 4.10 guideline documentary by

WB and on community conditions of ethnic minority peoples in Vietnam.

111.1. Vietnamese legal basis

Article 5 of the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (1992) clearly

states: "The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the unified State of all nationalities living

on the territory of Vietnam. The State carries out a policy of equality, solidarity and

mutual assistance among all nationalities, and forbids all acts of national disCi~imination

and division. Every nationality has the right to use its own language and system of

writing, to preserve its national identity, and to promote its tine customs, habits,

traditions and culture. The State carries out a policy of comprehensive development and

gradually raises the material and spiritual living conditions of the national minorities."

Article 94 in the 1992 Constitution states: "The Nationalities' Council studies and

makes proposals to the National Assembly on issues concerning the nationalities;

supervises and controls the implementation of policies on nationalities, the execution of

programs of education and health care development."

The existence of the NA Nationalities' Council and the Government Committee of

Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas, together with various programs of socio

economic development and natural resources improvement for the future in mountainous

and elevated areas inhabited by ethnic minority peoples, is a sure evidence of a policy on

equality, non-discrimination against ethnic minority peoples, and attention to bettering

their conditions of life and living.

The most important policies related to ethnic minority peoples issued by the

Government are mentioned in Decision No. 327 dated 15/9/1992; Directive No. 525/TT

dated November 02, 1993; Decision No. 556/TT dated September 12, 1995; Decision No.

6611QB-TT dated July 29, 1998; Decision No. 135/1998/QD-TTg dated July 31, 1998;

Decision No. 134/2004/QD-TTg dated July 20, 2004 and Resolution No. 30al20081NQ

CP dated December 27,2008.

111.2. The OP 4.10 policy framework of the World Bank on ethnic minorities

- The OP 4.10 Operational Policy by the World Bank (WB) was promulgated with

an aim at contributing to carrying out WB missions in poverty reduction and sustainable

development, ensuring that progress respects sufficiently human dignity and rights,

economic values and cultural characters of ethnic minority peoples.

For all projects proposing for capital loans frum WB affecting ethnic minority

peoples, WB requests that the capital borrower raise cmsulting opinions from the public,



and the public be supplied with adequate information and be free to participate in project

related issues.

WB only grant loans to those projects influencing ethnic minority peoples after

consulting opinions have been raised from the public, the public has been supplied with

adequate information, the public is free to participate in project-related issues, and results

have shown that most of the ethnic minority people are affected by the project. Such

projects funded by WB shall devise measures to: (a) avoid adverse impacts against the

communities of ethnic minority people; or (b) in unavoidable cases, to minimize, reduce

and compensate for these effects. WB-funded projects must be designed in such [. way to

ensure ethnic minority peoples will enjoy social and economic profits suitable to their

cultural characters, including gender issues and intergenerational traits.

- \VB realizes that the cultural characters and features of ethnic minority peoples

have a close link to their area of residence and the dependent source of natural resources.

It is because of these very features that ethnic minority peoples are likely to suffer from

risks and impacts from development projects, including the danger of losing their

characters, culture and living habits as well as the threat from illnesses and diseases.

Gender and intergenerational issues among ethnic minority peoples also are

complex. As social groups with identities that are often distinct from dominant groups in

their national societies, ethnic minority peoples are frequently among the most

marginalized and vulnerable segments of the population. As a result, their economic,

social, and legal status often limits their capacity to defend their interests in and rights to

lands, territories, and other productive resources, or restricts their ability to participate in

and benefit from development. At the same time, the World Bank recognizes that ethnic

minority peoples play a vital role in sustainable development and that their rights are

increasingly being addressed under both domestic and international law.

IV. PROJECT IMPACTS ON THE ETHNIC MINORITY

The project "Thar Cham 220kV substation and connecting branches" crosses

though agricultural production area at Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trung, Tan. Hai and Bac

Phong communes. In which, 220kV TIL connecting Da Nhim - Nha Trang 220kV TIL to

Thap Cham 220kV substation impacts on Em people three village such as in Nui Ray

village, Phuoc Chinh commune, Upper Ra and Lower Ra villages in Phuoc Trung

commune. Therefore, the project has some negative and positive impacts on EM people

community in the project area. Specifically as follows:



IV.1. Impacts on land and resettlements

In the above project villages, there are 8 Raglai HHs losing a part of productive land

for tower foundation construction of 220kV connecting branch (there are not any HH

losing more than 10% of total their land), and 12 HH affected to land in ROW temporarily.

In the mentioned affected households, no household suffer from impact on their

shelters and other construction works on land. The project does not consider resettlement

of these households, as they desire to receive money as compensation for the affected

land, crops, and architectural objects on land and to settle residential land and production

land on their own in a manner suitable to each individual situation.

List of permanent land acquisition and land affected of the households in the ROW

of TIL shown detail in the Appendix.

IV.LL Impact on the households

The project directly impacts on 30 households, including 10 Kinh households with

60 people and 20 Raglai households with 115 people, in which:

IV.2. Project positive impacts

Thap Cham 220kV substation and connecting branches project is constructed to

supply power for power load centers in Ninh Thuan Province that create a ring circuit

connection of 220kV power network in region, enhancing stable, safe, and reliable

operation of power network in the region.

The project significantly contributed to increase the supply of electricity to the

national electricity system in general and in particular the province of Ninh Thuan,

special project areas are well developed as the demand for increased regi<Jnal power.

Thus, when the project comes into operation will contribute to important national

industrialization and modernization of Ninh Thuan province and contribute indirectly to

reducing power shortages in the country.

According to the results of the public consultation and discussions in groups, all of

EM people at Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trung, Tan Hai, Bac Phong communes wish for the

implementation of the project so that more power would be supplied to develop the

economy of Southern Central Vietnam and the Western Highlands in general, even if

they are lost a proportion of their productive land. In their opinions, the improved power

supply would rather bring benefits to them and positively impact to their living and

economic conditions more than cause negative impacts, which are very small in fact.

V. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION

- Public consultation and participation had been carried out in the pre-construction

stage.

- Methods and forms of performance:

+ Posting public announcement at the People's Committees of Phuoc Trung

Commune, Phuoc Chinh Commune, Tan Hai Commune and Bne Phong Commune to

collect contributing opinions from the inhabitants on affects, resettlement policy, and

project implementation plan;

+ Interview some inhabitants about their affected land area, RP to collect their

opinions about the project;

+ Discuss and consult the local authorities, woman association, inhabitants in the

affected area about project impacts to HHs, compensation policies, implementation plan,

positive impacts of the project.

To EMs, village patriarch (or head of village) are respected the highest, thus

village patriarch (or head of village), and Woman and Farmer Association's

Representative, Fatherland Front's Representative will be invited to take part in a

meeting of information dissemination of project, RP and EMDP.


Thap Cham 220kV substation & connecting hr_a_nc_h_e_s ____________ F:_ea_s_ib_il_ity"---St_udy-"'-

People who carry out consultations present the selected project site and

compensation and resettlement policy. Then people taking part in a discussion present their

opinions of the project impacts and recovery measures, the project's benefits,

compensation and resettlement alternatives and development programs.

The affected EM people in Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trung, Tan Hai and Bac

PhongCommunes fully support the project. Both the local authority and EM people

engage actively in the discussions about their needs, difficulties, and desires relating to

the project in order to take full advantage of and uphold project's benefits to increase

imcome and improve social cultural economic life of EMs.

The inhabitants participating in the discussion expressed the desire that the local

government and the Project Owner would create conditions for the affected households to

obtain small-scale capital loans to develop their household economy. The EM people also

ask about measures to improve their current agricultural production.

The EMs and the local authority's feedback will be mentioned to the development

plan described as below.

VI. RECOVERY MEASURES AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS

- The EMDP is not only applied for the project directly affected people due to land

loss, it is but also used for the EM community (the Raglai) living in the project impacted

areas. EMDP report is based on the results of information dissemination, public

consultation, and participation of the EMs and the local authorities.

- Special compensation, assistance and resettlement provisions for ethnic

minorities ensure the consideration of EM peorle's views about various issues and their

legal rights being appropriate to the laws.

- In addition to, there are other activities such as propaganda, training about the

following matters:

+ Potential electric shocks

+ Traffic or industrial accidents in the construction time

+ Disorder and obstruction is ..:aused by works construction and concentration of

workers in the project areas

VI.l. Policies for PAPs acquired land

All PAPs lost permanently or temporarily land and properties on land will helVe an

entitlement to compensation

- The policy towards households with land and properties on land affected by the

project is mentioned in detail in the RP Report (See Chapter 3 - RP Report).


Thap Cham 220kV substation_&_c_on_n_e_cl_in-'g"-h_r_a_nc_h_e_s ____________ Feasibility Stuc!,,-

- However, once the affected households carry out resettlement on their own in

Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trung, Tan Hai, Bac Phong Communes, the local authorities and

CPPMB need to pay lip service to the following issues:

+ The EM's possession of the land on the pieces of land they have appropriated or

used or cultivated some time;

+ Sources of natural resources: forests and forest fauna as one of the factors that

help maintain spiritual and material life; the need for protecting forest land and natural

resources from illegal violation and possession;

+ Traditional cultural values and typical customs of the EM (the Rag;li) at the

communes.

VI.2. Development plan to the EMs in the project area

A development plan, established for the EM people who are acting or living in the

project area, consists of the following parts:

VI.l.t. Project information dissemination

Dis!::.eminating the project's objectives, negative impacts, P AHs, resettlement and

compensation plan and implementation plan has been carrying out as a part of RP and

EMDP implementation.

Project infonnation dissemination will be carried out in common with EMP and RP

implementation by project owner.

To ensure explicitness and publicity, infonnation dissemination has carried out as

below:

+ Public announcement on the project \vas posted (project objectives, project

impacts, compensation policy, Ethnic minority development policy, ... ) at the People's

Committees of Phuoc Trung Commune, Phuoc Chinh Commune, Tan Hai Commune and

Bac Phong Commune;

+ Consultants went to the project area and its vicinity to meet the inhabitants,

provide hem with information, and interview them for opinions on project establishment;

+ Meetings were held to raise consulting opinions from the community;

participants of the meetings included: representatives of the affected households, the

affected households, hamlets heads, representatives of the Women's Union, and

representatives of the local governments; the meetings focused on issucs related to the

socio-economic status of affected people, compensation and assistance policy, Ethnic

minority development policy, ... ;

The release of project information to ethnic minority peoples was carried out

simultaneously with RP implementation in the announcement of infonnation on

resettlement.

The consultants and the staff from CPPMB will coordinate with related communes

to perform these tasks. The expenses for these operations are included in the total

estimates of the project and will be paid by CPPMB.

VI.2.2 Propaganda, training in the electric network safety

It is very necessary to organize a training in the electric network safety for the

inhabitants of Phuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trung, Tan Hai and Bac Phong Communes, including

also ethnic minority people to help protect the people's health and safety. For the

trainning to be effective, CPPMB needs to coordinate with the People's Committees of

the communes to define clearly what should be propagandized and to organize a training.

This consists of the following main tasks:

• Leaflets, which introduce the safety rules to the high voltage power network and

methods to discover the warning signs of the high voltage transmission line and

give first aid to people get an electric shock will be disseminated to every

household, school in the project area.

• Guiding the local inhabitants and the primary and secondary pupils identifY the

scope of ROW of the high voltage power network and methods to give first aid to

people get an electric shock.

• Guiding inhabitant methods to define the scope of ROW of the high voltage power

network, activities which they can and can't be carried out within ROW.

• Cost for these activities is included in contingency cost of the project. See

implementation costs in Table 9.l.

VI.2.3. Financial support policy

Financial support is intended for households seriously affected by the project.

Financial support program also contains a training program of method to make an

application, use and manage funds, and funds supply .

. According to investigation results, the 30 affected households suffer from land

loss of more than 10% of possessive productive land, and have the desire to receive

compensation money for the affected area.

All the affected households receive compensation for the lost land area and

properties as stated in the RP report.

Besides, as the Government's Program 134, 135 and 30a is being carried out at the

communes ofPhuoc Chinh, Phuoc Trung, Tan Hai and Bac Phong. CPPMB and the local

authorities integrate financial support program for this project.

VI.3 jlecovery measures

1. Construction will carry out after harvesting crops of local inhabitants (by

scheduling a reasonable construction progress).

Ethnic Minority Development Pian (EMDP) 32


2. CPPMB sets up the traffic and labor safety' regulations (for Management Board and

project construction units).

3. CPPMB and the construction units will place warning signs on communication

roads 1 DO-200m from the sites and other danger warning signs at places close to the

construction sites.

4. Provisions minimizing the negative impacts caused by the project implementation

should be stated in the contract with construction contractors. In these provisions,

CPPMB should state clearly that the contractors must compensate for the damages to

the EMs' property which they cause at the replacement value.

S. Supervising EMDP implementation process.

VII. IMPLEMENTATION ORGANIZATION

Organization and implementation is as shown in the RP report.

To perform EMDP effectively arid continuously, CPPMB will cooperate together

closely or work independently to the following issues:

- Decide suitably number of people implementing the plan,

- Hiring the experienced experts implement project.

- Arranging the experienced staffs to implement EMDP

- Carrying out periodic monitoring (internal and independent mortitoring).

Ensure that compensation, assistance and propaganda, training in the electric

network safety is implemented well.

Ensure that all of the heads of villages (village patriarches), associations'

representatives (farmer association, woman association, fatherland front

committee, etc.) participate in RP and EMDP implementation.

VIII. MONITORING AND APPRAISAL

- Monitoring of E"NIDP implementation is a part of monitoring of RP

implementation. The general plan of RP implementation monitoring is stated in RP

report.

- Independent monitoring agency: CPPMB will form an independent monitoring

unit by hiring an agency with experienced experts in demographics and sociology.

This independent monitoring agency have to check and appraise report on RP and

EMDP implementation schedule, and forward reports on implementation progress, the

quantity and quality of performed tasks to the Project Owner.

- CPPMB and independent monitoring agency will strictly supervise RP and

EMDP implementation process in order to assist in dealing with all possible matters.

production (crash-and-burn cultivation and husbandry).

4IForm of ownership:

All the ethnic minority households have long been living and cultivating crops on

their land. Their land ownership and use is certified by local government authorities



Appendix 5: A proposed action plan

1. Framework policy

To apply the law and instructions by the Vietnamese Government with reference

to WB's OP4.10.

2. Mitigation measures

The potential negative impacts:

- Permanent land acquisition for building substation, road to substation and tower

foundation. Houses, auxiliary structures, plants, and crops in affected areas have to

remove.

- Temporary land acquisition in the ROW of T/L connecting to Substation:

warehouses/ depots, temporary tents ...

- Temporary impact on crops below the line corridor apply stretching

- Risk of labor accidents and communication limitations at intersections with

communication roads will happen during the construction process.

- Cost of living and food at the project areas may increase because of concentration

of workers during construction process.

Mitigation measures

Information from "Assessing social impacts" and feedback from community

meetings will be used while designing, planning, and selecting construction methods for

the project. These tasks include:

a) Designing the plan of the line route and positions of tower foundations by

referring to opinions from local government authorities and from every related sector and

agency. The design alternative would be so selected as to avoid impacts on ethnic

minority households in the communes.

- Devising reasonable construction alternatives and preferably right after crop

harvest cut down income losses.

- Focusing on completing each tower foundation at each position reduces the time

of land acquisition.

- Building Substation: arrange temporary tents, warehouses, depots in the plan of

the building Substation reduces temporary land acquisition area ..

- Carrying out compensation for the affected households to speed up land clearance

before construction

- Compensation for damages to houses, auxiliary works, and crops at replacement

costs in compliance to comply the prescriptions by the provincial People's Committee of

Ninh Thuan.

b) Attention is paid to ecological and psychological issues, customs and daily

habits, as well as other sensitive issues of the people in the project area during designing

and construction.

Sensitive issues were treated with special care and attention in the very stage of

agreement on the position of the line route.

c; Developing propaganda and training on power grid safety, community health,

and production development in the project area as follows:

- Carrying out propaganda and training on high-voltage power grid safety among

the inhabitants in the project area;

- Collaborating with the People's Committees of Phuoc Chinh Commune, Phuoc

Trung Commune, Tan Hai Commune, and Bac Phong Commune to instruct and create

conditions for the affected households to obtain bank loans for developing agricultural

production and stabilizing the living;

In addition, there are also some other supportive programs launched by the State

such as Program 135 (program of sucio-economic development in favor of especially

disadvantageous communes).

d) Land acquisition and compensation: project land acquisition will be

compensated for the same conditions of lost land. The compensation will carry out in

. accordance with the terms stated in the RP Report.

- Land permanently affected by the project will be compensated for at

replacement costs as stated in the RP Report

Houses, auxiliary structures, crop will be compensated for at replacement costs as

stated

- For land temporarily affected in ROW of TIL: compensation will carry out for

perennial trees; while crops (annual trees) will be compensated for if they are in the parts

of the area affected by conductor installation and used as gathering place of construction

materials.

e) Management of construction workers:

The construction unit will carry out strict management of the construction

workers; register construction workers' temporary residence at local agencies; provide

training on labor safety; strictly prohibit construction workas from causing losses and

damages to the people's properties and crops, from harming social order and security and

from taking part in social evils in the locality.

f) Construction safety:

- Training construction workers on labor safety before construction;

- Requiring the workersc observe safety rules during construction.



3. Assistant activities

By regular development programs to aid EM people living in the project areas, for

example, priority people living in the affected areas in jobs which created in project

construction, operation and maintenance process. They are also prioritized in loaning the

medium or short-terms credit from Bank of social policies to assist to agricultural

production development to improve output.

Training: The project will assist training in electric safety. These also includes

training courses, workshops for local authorities and local EM leaders (village leaders,

village patriarches in the project areas) in assessment of social impacts, compensation,

and monitoring EMDP implementation.

Special cnnsultation and training for women, particularly women who are heads of

households in areas such as credit, agricultural extension encouragement, use of

fertilizers, etc.
