  3. Involuntary Resettlement (2) • Resettlement is prepared in accordance with the • Government of Tanzania (institution/project) Resettlement Policy Framework and the • World Bank’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy OP/BP 4.12 • The World Bank policy applies to all components of the project that result in involuntary resettlement, regardless of the source of financing.

  4. Objectives of Resettlement Aims of resettlement are: • Design and implement resettlement as a sustainable development program; • Consult displaced persons meaningfully and provide them opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement plans; and • Assist displaced persons in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels.

  5. Impacts Covered by Resettlement Management Framework • Relocation of loss of shelter; • Loss of assets or access to assets; • Loss on income sources of means of livelihood (whether or not the affected persons must move to another location); and • Involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons

Best Practice for Requirements of Resettlement (cont.) • To provide with residential houses, or housing sites, social services and/or agricultural sites, as required, at least to the advantages of the old site • Offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living • Provide with development assistance in addition to compensation measures, such as land preparation, training, job opportunities, etc.; • Include the total costs of resettlement activities in the total costs of the project.

  9. Eligibility for Resettlement • The borrower must carryout a census to identify the PAPs and to determine who will be eligible for assistance. A cut-off date is established and informed to affected people • Those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights) • Those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets (a recognized claim in the country) • Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land that they are occupying

  13. Resettlement Policy Framework • In sectoral projects or financial intermediary projects or a project with multiple subprojects where population to be displaced not known during project preparation Process Framework For projects involving restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of affected people
