IDA has provided support to the Ghana Thermal Power (P-VII) Project (P000296) since project approval in Fiscal Year 1995. As one activity under this project, IDA agreed to finance the construction of a high voltage transmission line and associated facilities (hereafter, the 'line'), running from Prestea to Obuasi, in the Western, Central, and Ashanti Regions. The line, which runs for some 114.6 km between the two towns, parallels an existing line but with its own right-of-way (ROW), and was built in 2002 to enhance the power carrying capacity of transmission line in the Western part of Ghana. IDA assistance requires that the Prestea-Obuasi Transmission Line (POTL) Project follow established environmental and social safeguard policies, including IDA approval of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) under OD 4.30. Brief versions of such a plan were submitted for comment, but no final resettlement plan was accepted by IDA before construction began. The implementing agency, the VRA, did, however, take steps under Ghanaian law and VRA practice to provide compensation to affected people along the transmission line. This audit of the actions is undertaken by VRA to assess the adequacy of resettlement along the line and to address the question of compliance with IDA policies. The report is presented in three parts: Part I consists of the POTL Resettlement Action Plan; Part II presents the findings of the resettlement audit; and, Part IlIl synthesizes lessons from the present undertaking for future investments. This mission finds that VRA has minimized resettlement, conducted a complete and thorough inventory of assets that unavoidably must be taken, used relatively current and fair valuation procedures, and has successfully begun computerizing its record- keeping system. In short, VRA has implemented a strong data collection and analysis system for its resettlement compensation operations. At the same time, inter-agency coordination with the Land Valuation Board (LVB) and the understanding of the impacts of infrastructure development on local population could be improved. Specifically, two observations warrant mention: First, the Land Valuation Board (LVB) is legally mandated to establish compensation rates, conduct the physical asset inventory, issue a formal inventory registry to affected persons, and calculate compensation amounts. LVB has failed to fulfill its obligations in a timely and consistent manner. Asset registers are commonly approved and delivered as much as a year or two after the actual field inspection, greatly delaying compensation payments to affected persons. Also, LVB's legally required asset register (Form F) do not always accord with the Board's own physical asset inventory. Nor do the compensation calculations always accord with the Boards inventory and unit price list. As a result, determining compensation amounts and fulfilling commitments of project- affected persons become problematic. * Second, VRA can usefully expand its focus from land acquisition per se to include the impacts of those actions on local population. In this regard, o Public information and participation can be expanded: * notification and information meetings can include not only local notables but also the community at large; * PAPs can be provided not only the inventory of assets to be taken but also the unit price list for assets and an itemized breakdown of their compensation offers; * affected people can participate more integrally in planning and implementing projects, not only identifying affected plots, but also in dispute resolution and by suggesting possible changes to the line route based on information that may not be available to the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), o A local-level grievance procedure can deal more efficiently with complaints, especially those for unanticipated construction damage. o Attention needs to be paid to the special needs of vulnerable project- affected persons, particularly the elderly and widows. o Expanded socio-economic information about project-affected persons (PAPs) would facilitate project monitoring and guide remedial measures. o Compensation payment must be better coordinated with construction schedules, so that affected persons are paid before the construction begins, not after the infrastructure has been built. In this situation, recommendations for the POTL project to conclude its compensation payment operation include: * Verify compensation amounts for each PAP because the legal inventory of assets lost (Form F) does not always accord with the actual physical count made during the field inspection. * Pay for all land taken permanently, not only house and building plots but also pylons. * Distribute unit price lists for lost assets, and provide itemized compensation offers to PAPs. * Establish local-level grievance committees to record and help resolve disputes. * Open local bank accounts to make compensation payments easier for PAPs. * Implement a systematic procedure for identifying and compensating for construction damages. Longer-term recommendations for VRA's consideration include: * Coordinate the inventory of physical assets and socio-economic survey more closely with the engineering studies and topological survey. * Institute a socio-economic data collection and monitoring system that identifies vulnerable populations and facilitates tracking the effectiveness of remedial measures. * Institute a broader program of public information, consultation, and participation, involving affected communities in planning and implementation, providing unit prices for lost assets, and instituting a system of local-level grievance committees not only for anticipated losses but also for accidental construction damage, which constitutes a large proportion of existing complaints. * Develop a Resettlement Action Plan to guide implementation of each investment. * Institute measures to ensure that compensation payments are completed before construction activities are started on short segments of transmission lines and phase such activities on long segments. The mission thanks the management and staff of VRA for its unstinting assistance, support and collaboration at headquarters and in the field, thus greatly facilitating the conduct of this review.

More specifically, o Determine that affected persons have been fully and fairly compensated o Ensure that no claims or entitlements have been overlooked o Ascertain that documentary evidence exists in support of adequate compensation o Ascertain that Land Valuation Board values represent full replacement value for assets as defined by IDA policy o Determine that social and community infrastructure has been compensated o Determine whether valuations for structures have been finalized and, if not, set a firm timetable for finalization o Ensure that there are no outstanding disputes or complaints still unresolved o Develop an Action Plan for any shortcomings identified o Ensure that vulnerable people are provided any necessary additional assistance o Provide a full report that documents the tasks undertaken and the remedial plan, if any 2. RESETTLEMENT PLAN AND AUDIT o Determine that affected persons have been fully and fairly compensated All affected persons were identified in the field inventory undertaken between September 2001 and October 2002 (Audit, Section A). Compensation payment, however, remains incomplete. Most project affected people (PAPs), including those with structures, were paid half of their estimated compensation amount in April 2003, in anticipation of the Land Valuation Board estimates, which were delivered between May and July 2003 (RAP, Section X, Table 2). o Ensure that no claims or entitlements have been overlooked All affected persons were identified in the field inventory undertaken between September 2001 and October 2002 (Audit, Section A), and overlooked entitlements have been corrected in the interim (Audit, Section G). However, some 150 claims have since been received for construction damage. Funds are allocated to compensate for these damages, and will be paid at the same time as the final payment for lost assets. o Ascertain that documentary evidence exists in support of adequate compensation The field inspection notebooks and summary sheets of both VRA and LVB were compared for consistency in recording the extent of assets to be taken (Audit, Section A). LVB unit value rates for assets were reviewed with LVB (Audit, Section B-1) and indirectly verified in the field (Audit, Section B-1). Some discrepancies between the field inventory and the LVB legal inventory (Form F) were discovered in one village (Audit, Section A), and VRA was been asked to verify the VRAILVB field inventory with the LVB-issued Form F. Any difference between the two documents was rectified by accepting the higher inventory count of assets. This work is now complete, and compensation amounts have been finalized. Payment is anticipated to be made by October 2003. o Ascertain that Land Valuation Board values represent full replacement value for assets as defined by IDA policy LVB unit value rates for assets were reviewed with LVB (Audit, Section B-1) and indirectly verified in the field (Audit, Section B-1). One difference with IDA policy was noted: LVB values, and VRA compensates for, land associated with structures, but VRA does not pay for land taken permanently for pylons, which is inconsistent in policy. Barring practical or logistical difficulties, this difference will be corrected by the time final compensation payments are made. o Determine that social and community infrastructure has been compensated Social and community infrastructure has been inventoried (RAP, Table 1, p. 9), and is being compensated. Like PAPs, communities received half of the estimated compensation payment in April 2003, with the other half expected to be paid by October 2003. The one exception is the relocation of three shrines, which work was completed before project construction began. o Determine whether valuations for structures have been finalized and, if not, set a firm timetable for finalization The valuation for structures has been finalized, and a timetable set for payment of the remaining compensation amounts (RAP, Annex B). This covers 19 houses and one school. o Ensure that there are no outstanding disputes or complaints still unresolved As noted above, all affected persons were identified in the field inventory undertaken between September 2001 and October 2002 (Audit, Section A), and overlooked entitlements have been corrected in the interm (Audit, Section G). However, some 150 claims have since been received for construction damage, and these will be paid at the same time as compensation for lost assets. o Develop an Action Plan for any shortcomings identified An Action Plan is provided in Section H of the Resettlement Audit. The plan calls for: o immediate verification of compensation amounts and updating of compensation amounts where necessary to accord with policy (i.e., pylons), o the opening of local bank accounts prior to the initiation of compensation payment to eliminate difficulties that PAPs have encountered in cashing compensation checks, o the establishment of local-level grievance committees by the time compensation is initiated in each place, o distribution of unit price lists for assets taken and provision of itemized compensation offers at the time compensation is effected, and o implementation of a systematic grievance procedure by the time of compensation payment in order to register compensation payment complaints, and to identify and indemnify for construction damages. o Ensure that vulnerable people are provided any necessary additional assistance The RAP (Section Vil) considers the matter of vulnerable populations. The number of vulnerable people will be small because of the nature of the project (i.e., taking a 30-meter wide strip at most) and mitigative measures put in place by VRA (i.e., clearing only the minimum necessary area in the ROW for construction activities). VRA will, however, determine the number of vulnerable people in high-risk areas (i.e., full ROW clearing of plantation crops), and put in place a program of additional assistance if necessary. In summary, the Ghana Thermal Power Project Prestea-Obuasi Transmission line has inventoried all affected property, valued that property at current rates, negotiated compensation amounts with the affected parties, and made partial payment to most of the people and communities affected. Final payment for asset loss and construction damage is expected to be made by October 2003, by or at which time VRA will institute local grievance committees as necessary, distribute the unit price list for assets, provide an itemized breakdown of compensation amounts, and conduct a vulnerability survey to identify any persons who may require additional assistance. Successful completion of all of these measures will ensure that the POTL project complies with national laws and regulations and international standards for resettlement operations. At the same time, the experience of the Ghana Thermal Power Project Prestea- Obuasi Transmission Line project to date provide several lessons for future investments. These are: o Develop a Resettlement Action Plan to guide implementation of the operation as part of the planning process. o Coordinate topological survey for transmission lines and other infrastructure more closely with inventory of physical assets that will be lost. o Record basic socio-economic information for each affected household in order to identify vulnerable populations, monitor project impacts and assess effectiveness of remedial measures during implementation. o Involve affected people integrally in the project planning and implementation, and provide all basic information (e.g., unit price lists). o Complete resettlement before initiating investment construction. And, o Implement a monitoring system, with particular attention to vulnerable populations.

PROJECT BACKGROUND, PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS A. Project Background The World Bank (IDA) has provided support to the Ghana Thermal Power (P-VII) Project (P000296) since project approval in Fiscal Year 1995. As one activity under this project, IDA agreed to finance the construction of a high voltage transmission line and associated facilities, such as access roads, (hereafter, the 'line'), running from Prestea to Obuasi, in the Western, Central, and Ashanti Regions. IDA assistance requires that the Prestea-Obuasi Transmission Line project (POTL) follow established environmental and social safeguard policies, including IDA approval of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) under Operational Directive (OD) 4.30'. Brief versions of such a plan were submitted for comment, but no final resettlement plan was accepted by IDA before construction began. The implementing agency, the VRA, did, however, take steps under Ghanaian law and VRA practice to provide compensation to affected people along the transmission line. This resettlement plan and audit of the POTL project are therefore undertaken by VRA to assess the adequacy of resettlement planning and implementation in terms of IDA policies, and, as necessary, to propose additional actions so that the POTL operation is in compliance with those policies, specifically, the IDA social safeguard policy on involuntary resettlement, OD 4.30. B. Project Description The Prestea - Obuasi Transmission Line project erected a 114.6114.6 km long, 161 kV line that parallels an existing line, but has its own right-of-way (ROW). POTL involved erecting pylons approximately every 300 meters along the route. This work required access roads, where these did not already exist, as well as staging areas to erect the pylons and string the wire. POTL did not require additional land for substations because the two termini for this line already operate and both had sufficient land for the extension of their facilities. In Prestea, the VRA substation is on the outskirts of town, and the additional facilities were built on land owned by VRA that is adjacent to the existing substation. In Obuasi, the substation is on land held by the Ashanti Goldfields Company, Ltd., but, again, the existing power station there simply had to be extended on adjacent land already available to VRA. The line was built in 2002, and energized in April 2003, to enhance the power carrying capacity of the transmission network in the Western part of Ghana. 'OD 4.30 was superseded by Operational Policy 4.12 in December 2002. Nonetheless, OD 4.30 is the applicable policy here because this project was approved in FY 95, well before OP 4.12 became elective. There are few substantive differences between OD 4.30 and OP 4.12 with regard to the project iiinder consideration. C. Potential Impacts and Minimization of Resettlement Building POTL required clearing in the ROW, erection of pylons, new access roads and staging areas to string line. All of these activities require land, either permanently or temporarily, and therefore create potential adverse impacts on local populations At the same time, the amount of land taken in any area is at most a 30-meter wide strip, so that the project would affect relatively few people in any locality and most affected people would lose only a portion of their agricultural lands. In other words, for the most part, the potential impacts of the project would be relatively limited, although the impacts could be significant for any particular individual. As planned and executed, the line affected 669 households in 47 communities, which, figuring six people per rural family, would represent approximately 4,000 project-affected persons (PAPs) in total. Most project-affected families - over 95 percent - lost agricultural production, either temporarily (e.g., field crops) or permanently (e.g., palm oil and other tall tree crops). A small number of structures were also affected -- 19 houses, one school; three shrines had to be relocated outside of the ROW; and, four cemeteries were affected by removal of tall trees. In addition some 160 people have lodged complaints of unanticipated construction damage, mostly due to access roads; many of these people are PAPs who also lost crops within the ROW. VRA instituted several measures to minimize the extent of resettlement impact. First, near populated centers, VRA rerouted the new line away from the existing line in order to avoid residences and other structures. For example, in Bogoso, rerouting the line away from the town reduced the number of affected structures from 30 residences that would have had to be removed to just one in another village near the town. Similarly, the line at Dunkwa was also diverted away from the town in order to similarly reduce resettlement impact. Second, VRA instructed its contractor to clear as little productive land in the ROW as possible for its activities. In hilly areas where the line runs near the highway, this measure meant that the contractor could access the site for pylon construction with minimal damage to crops, and did not have to clear the entire ROW between pylons. In other areas, where the contractor needed to move between pylons, VRA limited the extent of clearing to the minimum necessary for efficient construction. Thus, in many areas, a strip between 5 and 10 meters wide (rather than the entire 30 meter ROW) was cleared by the contractor for access to pylon sites, although tall trees within the ROW were cut also down. Third, VRA permits cultivation of low crops, including some tree crops, under the transmission line in order to limit permanent crop loss to the irreducible minimum. Under this measure, all annual crops and any low tree crops may be cultivated within the ROW once the line has been erected. Effectively, this measure means that only coconut and tall trees must be removed from the ROW; improved oil palm and mature cacao, which reach a height of about 15 feet, may remain in at least the 10 meters on either side of the central transmission line corridor. II. OBJECTIVES OF RESETTLEMENT PLANNING As a good corporate citizen striving to foment development and reduce poverty, VRA subscribes as a matter of policy and practice to the following resettlement objectives: * To conceive of and execute resettlement activities in a socially responsible manner as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient resources to enable persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits; * To consider involuntary resettlement as an integral part of project design, and deal with resettlement issues from the earliest stages of project preparation; * To avoid land acquisition and involuntary resettlement wherever feasible, and to minimize land acquisition and involuntary resettlement wherever such is unavoidable; * To consult with project-affected persons (PAPs) in a meaningful manner, and to provide opportunity for their participation in the planning and execution of resettlement programs; * To assist PAPs in proportion to impact, recognizing the special needs of vulnerable populations; 0 To compensate PAPs fully and fairly for all assets lost permanently or temporarily, which means timely payment of full replacement value prior to construction; * To ensure that all PAPs who lose residences or businesses are provided acceptable alternative accommodations before demolition of the structures and construction of the infrastructure; * To ensure that PAPs who lose income-generating resources are assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least restore them, in real terms, to pre-project levels; These policy objectives apply to all direct economic and social impacts that result from the project and that are caused by the involuntary taking of land that results in relocation or loss of shelter, loss of assets or access to assets, or the loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location. Further, these policy objectives apply to all components of the project that result in involuntary resettlement, regardless of the source of financing. Ill. ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES In accord with the Volta River Development Act, 1961, The Volta River Authority is responsible for the acquisition of land, including compensation of landowners, necessary for performance of its mandated activities. In addition, the Land Valuation Board (LVB) is legally responsible for issuing inventories of assets to be taken (the Form F), establishing compensation rates and determining compensation amounts for each PAP. For this reason, VRA collaborates with LVB in the asset inventory and verifies the LVB determination of compensation amounts. Within VRA, the Engineering Department plans the alignment of the transmission line and surveys the prospective line. About the same time, the Environment Department commissions an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to identify critical environmental and social issues. Once the topological survey has been completed, the Engineering Department provides the Real Estate department (VRANRE) a copy of the topographical map. The Real Estate department then conducts a field survey to inventory the plots and structures that will be affected by the proposed alignment and infrastructure. VRA/RE conducts this inventory in collaboration with regional representatives of the Land Valuation Board (LVB) and the affected persons. The VRA/RE and LVB inventories are reconciled, and, in principle, LVB issues to each PAP a legal registry of assets lost (Form F). The assets affected are then valued by both VRA and LVB on the basis of the LVB unit cost list, so that VRA can verify the LVB determinations. Once VRA and LVB agree on compensation amounts, VRAIRE issues an offer of compensation to each affected person. VRA/RE then provides the individual agreements to the VRA Finance Department, which writes the cheques on the corporate account. At scheduled community meetings, VRA/RE distributes the cheques to the PAPs in the presence of local authorities, and collects the Form F from each PAP once compensation has been completed. VRA/RE works closely with local opinion leaders in the affected communities throughout this process. VRA/RE or its contractors contact local leaders to inform them of the proposed investment, maintain contact with these leaders during the physical asset inventory and valuation, rely on the local leaders for feedback on PAP grievances and unanticipated developments, and involve the leaders in the negotiation and compensation payment process. In addition, VRA/RE and project construction staff maintain close personal contact with PAPs, listening to concerns, explaining procedures, and recording grievances, among other matters. IV. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND INTEGRATION WITH HOST POPULATIONS VRA and its contractors inform the local populations on the POTL about each of the various steps of the project. Once the official notification of intent to acquire land is published in the newspapers, VRA surveyors first contact local officials in each locality to inform them of the project and to request permission to enter village lands for the topographical survey of the line. Subsequently, VRA enumerators contact village leaders in the communities along the line, including Chiefs and their Elders, District Chief Executives, District Assemblymen, Unit and Town Development Committee members, in order to solicit their support and cooperation for the study. In the POTL project, appointments were made with all communities except Prestea and Bogoso, which presented particular issues, in order to collect relevant information about the communities and the individuals affected for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Finally, VRA/RE representatives contact the notables in each locality to organize community meetings with the PAPs. On these occasions, the VRA and LVB representatives walk the transmission line with the PAPs in order to identify ownership of each structure and agricultural plot affected and, together, to inventory the structures and crops for valuation. Once the inventory of physical assets affected has been compiled and checked by VRA/RE and LVB, the agency representatives attend a meeting in each locality to verify and agree upon the extent of impact on each PAP. At these meetings, the VRA representative reads the inventory of affected assets to each PAP who then signs to indicate his or her agreement with the inventory. In the instance of a disputed inventory, the PAP may request a re-assessment or may, in exceptional instances, commission an independent assessment. In those instances where residences and other structures are affected, VRA enlists- the assistance of local notables to assist in the identification of acceptable, alternative plots, if necessary. All residential relocation takes place within the PAP's current town or village, and usually requires moving back a relatively few meters out of the ROW. PAPs can and do, however, chose to purchase replacement plots in more central locations within their communities. For this reason, the question of integration with a host population does not arise in the POTL project because all physical relocation occurs within the PAPs' current communities. V. SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY In order to assess the nature and extent of impact on local populations generally, VRA undertook an analysis of the socio-cultural, economic, and demographic situation in the project area as part of its Environmental Impact Assessment. The POTL EIA also examined the vulnerability of PAPs and their families as a group in order to provide a general measure of project social risk. The purpose of this part of the study was to help identify mitigation measures necessary to redress possible negative impacts of the project (EIA, p. 1). The social survey under the EIA recorded basic information about the population of each community (compiled by district), its social infrastructure, and its economic activities (e.g,, agriculture, livestock, manufacturing, mining). The basic finding of the EIA social study is that outside several mining communities and administrative towns, the population is essentially agricultural, and is engaged in the cultivation of both food crops (cassava, plantain, cocoyam) and cash crops (oil palm, citrus, cocoa, coffee, and kola nuts). Many villagers keep some livestock (cattle, poultry, pigs), and some process agricultural produce (e.g., cassava, oil kernels). In some localities, artisanal mining is important to some households. The EIA social survey also interviewed the 303 affected persons identified at that time. The vast majority of those affected (93%) were primarily farmers, with the others engaged as teachers, artisans, traders, public administration. Nearly all those affected (over 95%) would lose food or cash crops or both; very few (1.3% at that time) would lose residential structures, while 1 percent of the respondents were unsure of how they would be affected. Because of the importance of agricultural impact, the EIA looked into the land tenure situation. Nearly half the PAPs (48.2%) own their own lands, while another quarter (24.4%) have lands on loan 'to be used freely' (p. 17), usually from parents or spouse. Nonetheless, nearly a fifth of all cultivators (17.2%) till land through sharecropping arrangements with the land owners, while another 5 percent have land loans although the arrangement was unspecified. From a social perspective, approximately 10 percent of this group were then over 65 years of age, and nearly a third of the landowners were women (86 of 299). The EIA found a high dependency ratio: the majority of the respondents (68.3%) have from 4 to 9 dependents, and about one-fifth (18.4%) have between 10 and 18 dependents. "In all, the dependency ratio is about 15 dependants to one affected person" (p. 16). In other words, there was a high potential rate of vulnerability among the affected population. The EIA survey also inquired into PAP concems. While the majority of respondents (60%) expected some crop loss, most (90%) expected adequate compensation, although a quarter of those canvassed expressed a concern that compensation payment could be delayed (p. 15). VI. LEGAL FRAMEWORK The Constitution of the ReDublic of Ghana, 1992 (Article 20), establishes that no property "shall be compulsorily taken possession of or acquired by the State" unless it is, among various purposes, 'to promote the public benefit" (Clause 1). "Compulsory acquisition of property by the State shall only be made under a law which makes provision for (a) the prompt payment of fair and adequate compensation; and (b) a right of access to the High Court by any person who has an interest in or right over the property...: (Clause 2). Further, "where a compulsory acquisition or possession of land effected by the State in accordance with clause (1) of this article involves displacement of any inhabitants, the State shall resettle the displaced inhabitants on suitable alternative land with due regard for their economic well-being and social and cultural values" (Clause 3). If property acquired in the public interest is not used for that purposed, the original owner is given first option to purchase the property at a price equivalent to the original compensation amount (Clause 6). The State Lands Act. 1962 vests in the President the authority to acquire land for the public good. The President "may, by executive instrument, declare any land specified in the instrument ... to be land required in the public interest" (Sect. 1-1). A copy of the instrument shall "(a) be served personally on any person having an interest in the land; or (b) be left with any person in occupation of the land; and (c) be affixed at a convenient place on the land; and (d) be published on three consecutive occasions in a newspaper circulating in the district where the land is situated" (Sect. 2). "On the publication of an instrument..., the land shall, without any further assurance than this subsection, vest in the President on behalf of the Republic, free from any encumbrance whatsoever" (Sect. 1-3). The State Lands Act 1962 theoretically places responsibility for registering a claim on the party affected. "Any person claiming a right or having an interest in any land subject to an instrument made under section 1 of this Act or whose right or interest in any such land is affected in any manner shall, within three months from the date of the publication of the instrument.. .submit in writing to the Minister, (a) particulars of his claim or interest in the land; (b) the manner in which his claim or interest has been affected by the instrument; (c) the extent of any damage done; (d) the amount of compensation claimed and the basis for the calculation of the compensation, and the Minister may, having regard to the market value or the replacement value of the land or the cost of disturbance or any other damage suffered thereby, pay compensation in respect of that land or make an offer of land of equivalent value" (Section. 4-1). 'According to the State Lands Act, 1962, "where there is a dispute as to the right or interest claimed by reason of conflicting claims or interests, or any person is not satisfied with the compensation assessed by the Minister, the Minister may refer the matter to the Tribunal" (Section 4-2). The Tribunal is established by the President, in consultation with the Chief Justice (Sect. 3). [Note: the 1 992Constitution, which supersedes this earlier law, provides for juridical resolution of compensation disputes. The Tribunal no longer functions.] The State Lands Act, 1962 defines the terms cost of disturbance, market value, replacement value and other damage (Sect. 7). "'Cost of disturbance' means the reasonable expenses incidental to any necessary change of residence or place of business by any person having a right or interest in the land." "'Market value' means the sum of money which the land might have been expected to realize if sold in the open market by a willing seller at the time of the declaration made under section 1 of this Act." "'Replacement value' means the value of the land where there is no demand or market for the land by reason of the situation or of the purpose for which the land was devoted at the time of the declaration made under section 1 of this Act, and shall be the amount required for reasonable re- instatement equivalent to the condition of the land at the date of the said declaration." Finally, "'other damage' means damage sustained by any person having a right or interest in the land or in adjoining land at the date of the declaration made under section 1 of this Act, by reason of severance from or injurious affection to any adjoining land." The Volta River Development Act. 1961, establishes the Volta River Authority (VRA) and defines its functions and responsibilities. Part 4, Section 17 (2) (d) of the Act authorizes the VRA to acquire land necessary "for the proper discharge of the Authority's functions." The Act (Sect. 28 (a)) further specifies, in relation to lands acquired for Akosombo Dam, that 'the market value of any property so acquired shall be the amount which that property might have been expected to realize if sold in the open market by a willing seller to a willing buyer" as of the date March 6, 1957. The Lands (Statutory Wavleaves) Act. 1963, provides for entry on any land for the purpose of the construction, installation and maintenance of works of public utility, and for the creation of rights of way for such works. The owner/occupier of the land must be formally notified at least a week in advance of the intent to enter, and be given at least 24 hours notice before actual entry. (An authorized person may enter at any time for the purpose of inspecting, maintaining, replacing or removing any specified works [Section 5].) Any damage due to entry must be compensated in accord with the procedures established by the Minister (Sect. 6-1) unless the land is restored or replaced. (In the case of highways, no compensation shall be paid, unless the land taken is more than one fifth of the total holdings of an affected person; Section 6-3(b).) Where a right of way must be established in the public interest, the President may declare the land to be subject to such statutory wayleave. On publication of a wayleave instrument specifying the area required, and without further assurance, the land shall be deemed to be subject to wayleave. Compensation is then determined and paid, with the right of appeal to a Tribunal established by the President, in parallel with the Lands Act, 1962. (Again, appeal to the Tribunal has, under the 1992 Constitution, been replaced by appeal to the courts.) The Lands (Statutory Wayleaves) Regulations. 1964, restates the principles of the Lands (Statutory Wayleaves) Act of 1963, and establishes provisions for Wayleave Selection Committees to determine the optimal routing and to ensure that the selected wayleaves are consistent with town and country planning. Any claim for compensation must be made "not later than six weeks after" formal notification, and must be made on the requisite form (Section 8). Any dispute over compensation can be submitted to the Tribunal. "The first hearing of any matter referred to the Tribunal shall be held not later than six weeks after the date on which the matter was so referred, and the Tribunal shall give notice of any such hearing to all parties thereto in the appropriate form... Subsequent hearings by the Tribunal shall be on such dates and at such times as the Tribunal may from time to time direct" (Sect. 1 1). The complainant has the right to be represented by a lawyer of his or her choosing (Section 12). Volta River Authority (Transmission Line Protection) Regulations. 1967, states that it is forbidden "to place, drive, tow, pull or carry any crane, jig, boom, or any other object, under, over or near the transmission line, unless the minimum distance from the conductors or any of them of such object is not less than eighteen feet" (Section 1 [fI). VRA has interpreted this section to extent to any object, including economic trees. The VRA does have authority (Section 1 [g]) to provide written consent to permit construction of "any building or structure or carry on any kind of cultivation, farming, or farming activity within the right of way"; such activity is illegal without such consent. Provisional National Defence Council (Establishment) Proclamation (Supolementarv and Consequential Provisions) Law .1982 (Section 43[1]) establishes a Land Valuation Board "responsible for -- "(a) determining all matters of compensation for land acquired by the government, any organ of government or public corporation on whatever terms; "(b) preparing the valuation list for property rating purposes;"... "(h) advising all organs of government on all matters of valuation of interests in immovable property;"... "(k) collating in a register all valuations conducted by the Board and collecting information relating to land values throughout the country; "(I) publishing in periodic official bulletins information regarding land values throughout the country and any such information regarding its valuations as it deems fit in the national interest; "(mi) developing a recommended code of valuation to regulate the procedures and practices for the rating of immovable properties." "Any public corporation in existence before the coming into force of the Proclamation shall continue to operate under the enactment by which it was established," unless the Council otherwise directs (Section 441l]). Finally, The Ghana Land Policy. 1999, provides guidelines and policy actions for land use (e.g., agriculture, forestry, extractive industry, settlement, infrastructure). These guidelines are aimed at enhancing conservation and environmental quality, thus preserving options for present and future generations. Key objectives of the Land Policy, which are relevant to POTL project, include: protection of the rights of landowners, ensuring payment, within a reasonable time, of fair and adequate compensation for land acquired; and promoting public awareness at all levels and community participation in sustainable land management. Annex A contains copies of various of the pertinent legislation that constitutes the legal framework for resettlement operations. Annex B presents the notification of intent to acquire that was published for POTL in newspapers that circulate locally. VIl. VALUATION AND COMPENSATION FOR LOST ASSETS A. Eligibility All persons who are directly affected economically by the loss of residence, business, land, or economic livelihood are eligible for compensation in proportion to the extent of the loss, taking into account any special requirements of vulnerable populations. Land is assessed at local market value. By law (State Lands Act 1962), land is valued either as the "sum of money which the land might have been expected to realize if sold in the open market" or "the amount required for reasonable re- instatement equivalent to the condition of the land" at the date of the notification to acquire is published. In POTL, land compensation is paid for plots with houses or community structures. Agricultural land is not reimbursed because farmers can cultivate the area in subsequent years. Because VRA permits farmers to cultivate in the ROW plots once the transmission line is built, agricultural crops are compensation for loss and damage, but not for land. Agricultural loss covers both all economic trees within the ROW and all annual crops. Landowners who cultivate the affected plot receive compensation for all economic trees and all annual crops within the ROW whether or not the entire ROW is cleared. When landowners and tenants or sharecroppers both have claims to the affected plot, each receives the portion of the crop compensation payment to which each is entitled under the sharecropping agreement, usually one-to-one. (Economic trees that predate the tenancy agreement are credited to the landowner.) Women, who constitute an appreciable number of the landowners, receive compensation in their own names, just like men. Residential loss covers both the house plot and all structures thereon. If only part of a plot is taken, compensation is limited to those structures in the affected part of the plot if the remainder of the plot is habitable and there is room to rebuild the affected structure or structures. If it is not possible to replace the affected structures on the existing plot in a manner acceptable to the residents, the entire plot is acquired, just as if the entire plot had been affected. If community property is affected, the owner or responsible authority is compensated for the loss. Specifically, in the case of a school, compensation is paid either to the community if they built and maintain the structure or to the Ministry of Education if they built and maintain the facility. In the case of a cemetery, compensation is paid to the community, and includes funds for locally appropriate rites. In the case of a shrine, the project consults the local chief and elders in order to determine the appropriate compensation necessary to conduct the rites necessary to relocate the religious property. B. Inventory of Affected Assets The VRA undertakes a field inventory of all affected assets, in collaboration with both the Land Valuation Board and the villagers concerned. In order to organize the asset inventory, VRA/RE holds meetings in each affected village with local notables (e.g., chief, elders, opinion leaders) to inform them of initiative. Subsequently, VRAIRE informs village authorities a day or two before the asset inventory will be carried out so that they can alert villagers to plan to participate in the inventory. On the day designated, the VRAIRE representative, the regional LVB representative and the villagers together carry out physical asset inventory. This involves walking the line, and noting for every plot the area affected if in food crops and/or counting the number of trees for tree crops. Tree counts are estimated from area planted, using assumed spacing distances, in areas with high, dense weeds. Where plots have structures, the inventory records the size of the plot and, for each structure, the external dimensions of the structure, the construction materials of each (floor, walls, ceiling, and roof, as well as doors and windows), and the general condition of the structure. The inventory also records any infrastructure (e.g., animal pens, borehole) along with necessary descriptive information. Upon completion of physical asset inventory, each field surveyor recopies his field notes into a book. The VRA and LVB field surveyors compare notes and rectify discrepancies. VRA enters the information into a master file in Excel; data entry is double-checked for accuracy. Subsequently, the VRA and LVB surveyors compare their separate summary compilations and reconcile any discrepancies. The inventory of physical assets is complete in that every plot is inventoried. The VRA practice of going out with LVB technicians and the villagers themselves helps ensure that the plot inventory records every parcel affected, and that the counts are accurate and verified in the field. Certain details about a plot, such as the name of the owner, any sharecropping arrangement, the precise number and type of trees may have to be revised after consultation with the PAPs. Not all villagers are available the day the asset inventory is undertaken, so some plots must be recorded as 'unknown' ownership. Sometirmes the landowner or cultivator designates a representative to attend the physical inventory, which can give rise to disputes over asset counts with some owners. (The field notebooks do not usually record whether the participating villager is the land owner, the cultivator, or a representative of either the owner or cultivator.) VRA strives to resolve such situations as quickly and amicably as possible. But in the POTL project, there was no instance of a cultivated plot or house site that was overlooked during the physical inventory. Table 1 summarizes the findings of the asset inventory, by type of impact for each region. (Annex C presents the list of individual PAPs, their losses and compensation, by village and region.) Table 2 similarly summarizes the losses of community property. Table 1: Number of Project Affected Households*, By Type of Impact and Region Western Central Ashanti Total Region Region Region Field Crops 284 139 227 650 Houses 7 8 4 19 Total 291 147 231 669 * The number of individuals affected may be estimated by multiply the number of households by six (6), which is the average rural family size. Table 2: Community Property Affected, By Type and Region Western Central Region Ashanti Total Region Region School 0 1 0 1 Shrines 2 1 0 3 Cemeteries 1 3 0 4 Total 3 5 0 8 C. Valuation Methods The VRA Real Estate department uses the Land Valuation Board (LVB) unit prices to determine the compensation for agricultural crops and residential properties. (See Annex D for the unit rates for crops and economic trees and for structures.) LVB values land, structures, and crops (annual crops and economic trees) separately. With regard to land, LVB consults with the Land Commission on recent land sales of titled properties. In rural areas, where land is held under customary tenure, LVB investigates the current market price of land, and verifies this price information with indirect measures, such as informal payments to chiefs at the time of the land transfer. For structures, LVB determines replacement cost based on the current price of building materials. In this method, calculating the amount of material necessary for structures of different types provides a unit value per square foot that is multiplied by the area of the structure to be taken in order to establish the value of each structure. In rural areas, these estimated amounts are verified with local housing prices. (Annex D presents the costing of the 20 structures affected -- 19 residences and one school.) LVB uses one of two methods to calculate crop values. For large estates and commercial plantations, LVB uses the 'investment method,' which essentially tailors the compensation to the productive life of the assets to be taken in that estates with younger productive trees receive proportionately more than estates with older productive trees. For small-hold takings, LVB uses a tree count and multiplies the count by a standard unit value for that type of tree. In both methods, calculation of the unit value is based on production techniques, yield and farmgate price information collected regionally by the Ministry of Agriculture. (Annex E presents the unit price list for crops and economic trees.) LVB takes two other considerations into account in determining compensation. An amount of up to 10 percent may be added to cover legitimate costs incurred by the PAP in locating replacement land or structures (the disturbance allowance). In addition, LVB adds an average of 20 percent to crop values in order to account for inflationary price increases in the year or two that may pass between the time of the site inspection and issuance of the LVB compensation amounts. LVB maintains current valuation rates that represent actual market price at the time of payment. VRA concurs in this view, that the Board and the Authority use realistic rates in computing compensation amounts. If at the time of payment, the current LVB rates are found to be uneconomic or out-of-date, the Authority will, in consultation with all concerned government agencies, generate fair rates on the basis of current prices. Finally, for sensitive lands, such as shrines and communities, VRA negotiates with the community to determine the sum necessary for propitiatory rites. (Annex F presents the negotiate sums to relocate the shrines affected and to cut tall trees in cemeteries within the ROW.) D. Negotiation of Agreements Negotiation of agreements between the project authority and project-affected persons is effectively limited to discussion of the physical asset inventory because unit price information is not disclosed publicly. Once the physical assets affected are inventoried and valued, VRA/RE, in collaboration with the LVB, determines its offer to each affected person. VRA writes a letter of offer to each claimant, and LVB prepares a Declaration Form (Form F) for each PAP. The Form F, which lists the assets affected, is delivered to the PAPs at a village meeting convened in their localities. The inventory of assets lost is given to the PAP (or, read to an illiterate PAP, in a language he/she understands), who signs the Form F to signify his or her agreement with the physical inventory. Due to LVB stipulations, the unit price list for lost assets is not provided to PAPs. VRAIRE does provide the unit price list to local notables on an informal basis. And, a global estimate of the compensation amount may be provided to the PAPs, especially when, as happened in POTL, compensation payment is made in more than one installment. E. Compensation Payment Compensation is paid by VRA to each PAP at a meeting in each of the affected villages. The VRAIRE representative provides the list of affected assets and the global compensation amount to the PAP (or reads it to the PAP if illiterate) to ensure that there is continued agreement on the compensation sum. If so, VRA delivers a cheque drawn in that sum on the corporate account to the PAP, who signs the relevant papers signifying receipt of compensation in part or in full, as is the case. VRA then collects the Form F, and the case is closed, unless a grievance has been registered. Vil. Assistance to Vulnerable Populations Vulnerable groups at particular risk of impoverishment are the landless and semi- landless, the elderly, and households headed by females. The resettlement plan therefore includes land allocation or culturally acceptable alternatives to protect the livelihood and living standards of these people. VRA collects complete information for the physical asset inventory only. The focus on the physical asset inventory without full complementary socio-economic information on each affected family makes it difficult to assess the proportion of vulnerable families in the affected population. While the number of vulnerable people affected by POTL is likely to be small, such people do reside in many communities even though the numbers of people in each category have not been specifically studied. The POTL Environmental Impact Assessment (Section 6.3, table 3, p. 13) indicates that 25 percent of the population in the major project districts is 55 years of age or older (males: 24.4%; females, 26.8%). The EIA (Section 6.3, Arrangements for Land Use Table, p. 16) also indicates that a significant amount of sharecropping occurs in the project area: while almost half (48.2%) of the population own their own land and another quarter (24.4%) cultivate land on loan to be used freely, almost a fifth of the farmers (17.2%) share the market proceeds with the landlord after harvest while a few (2.6%) share the farm produce. Finally, there is a high dependency ratio in the region: "About 2 out of every 10 respondents (18.4%) have a number of dependents between 10 and 18 persons" (Section 6.3, p. 16). As the EIA notes, 'with such a high dependency ratio among the affected communities, the impact of the project on families/households and the entire community will be greatly felt if appropriate measures are not put in place before implementation of the project" (p. 16). The POTL project has put in place measures that help mitigate such impacts. These measures are more effective for some crops than others. Specifically, the impact on annual crops (e.g., cassava, maize) is temporary. These crops may be lost - and compensated-during the year of line construction, but these fields can be planted without problem in subsequent years. By contrast, some tree crops cannot continue to be planted within the ROW once the transmission line has been built. For most citrus (e.g., lime, orange) and fruit trees (e.g., guava, mango), this is not a major economic issue in that no PAP has more than one or two such trees within the ROW, so that it should be possible to replant these trees elsewhere. (The importance of these trees may lie more in their contribution to family nutrition than in their contribution to family income.) The major impact is likely to fall on tall plantation trees, particularly coconut, possibly cocoa (if young trees are shaded by tall trees), and oil palm (which reaches only 15 feet in height, so it could, possibly, continue to be cultivated under the line). IX. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES Disputes over compensation and resettlement measures may be raised by PAPs informally with local notables or VRA staff or, failing resolution at the informal community level, formally with the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and, ultimately, the courts. Most questions involve disputes over the physical inventory counts. Although the field -counts are generally accurate, it may be that some economic trees were overlooked during the field count. Such oversights are typically brought to the attention of the VRA staff, either the representative from the Real Estate Department or from the project engineering staff. The VRA representative verifies the validity of the complaint, and corrects the official count accordingly. In the POTL project, disputes over unit prices have not arisen, in large part because PAPs have not been provided the unit price list. Such disputes have arisen in other projects, usually when a transmission line crosses a commercial plantation. In such instances, the plantation owner engages an independent valuer to assess the value of the crops affected and submits the independent assessment to VRA for its consideration. The majority of such cases center on the age and cultural quality of the affected crop. Average unit prices are usually acceptable when the plantation is older and yields are declining; these unit prices may be disputed, however, when the plantation is reaching maturity and yields are increasing. VRA, in consultation with the LVB, decides each instance on a case-by-case basis. PAPs may raise issues formally when informal mechanisms fail to redress the concern. In one instance in the POTL project, a small group of farmers has lodged a complaint with the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice over the delay in compensation and over the difficulty of cashing the cheques distributed earlier for partial compensation. If the issue cannot be resolved at this level, the aggrieved party has, in theory, access to redress through the judicial system, although in fact judicial resolution is expensive and time-consuming. X. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE The timing of resettlement should be coordinated with the implementation of the main investment component of the project. Ideally, resettlement activities - land acquisition, relocation of residences and businesses, as well as initiation of economic rehabilitation activities, when required - are completed before construction begins in an area so that the project-affected people are not further disadvantaged. In the POTL project, engineering studies and construction preceded most resettlement activities. The implementation schedule for the project is given in Table 3. Table 3: Implementation Schedule for Line Construction and Resettlement Western Region Central Region Ashanti Region Line Construction * Notice of Construction (Notice in national dailies July 01 July 01 July 01 and Gazette; village meetings) .- .

MONITORING Arrangements for monitoring implementation of resettlement and for incorporating monitoring results into management decisions will be developed during project preparation and used during supervision. Monitoring provides both a waming system for project managers and a channel for the resettlers to make known their needs and their reactions to resettlement implementation. Monitoring and evaluation units should be adequately funded and staffed by specialists in resettlement. In-house monitoring by the implementing agency may need to be supplemented by independent monitors to ensure complete, objective resettlement. Projects with relatively limited resettlement impacts commonly institute an in-house monitoring system within the project agency. In the case of POTL, VRA relies upon its staff in the Real Estate and Engineering Departments, to keep track of land acquisition, compensation, and grievances. VRAIRE maintains a complete set of administrative records on asset inventories, payment receipts, and complaints. (LVB maintains the file for the legal agreements on physical assets to be taken (Form F).) Both VRA/RE and Construction Department representatives hear complaints on an informal basis and report administratively on project progress. XII. COSTS AND BUDGET VRA has made the necessary budgetary provisions to ensure that mitigation commitments (including compensation), and monitoring programs can be implemented effectively. VRA will pay full replacement cost for assets lost. The initially approved budget estimates are given in Table 4. Table 4: Original POTL Compensation Budget (in Cedis) Cost 2001 Cost 2002/03 Land under Right of 810,000,000 810,000,000 Way Structures (and Other 300,000,000 500,000,000 Incidental Expenses) Crops 1,200,000,000 1,400,000,000 Economic Trees 500,000,000 500,000,000 Access Tracks 4,000,000 40,000,000 Total Budget 2,850,000,000 3,250,000,000 The actual financial cost of land and asset acquisition is provided in Table 5. Table 5: Current POTL Compensation Budget (in Cedis) Actual Cost 2003 Land under Right of Way * 1,400,000 Structures 221,000,000 Crops and Economic Trees 2,856,000,000 Access Tracks and Construction 490,000,000 Damages 10 % Contingency on Damages 49,000,000 Total 3,6178,400,000 * Each of the 290 pylons requires 1 0/m2, for a total of 2,900/m2, at an estimated average value of C 1,250,000/ha.

Tab E i i i I i i i i I I I I RESETTLEMENT AUDIT The Prestea-Obuasi Transmission Line (POTL) project built a 114.6 km long 161 kV high-voltage transmission line with a 30 m right-of-way (ROW) adjacent and parallel to an existing line. The existing substations in both Prestea and Obuasi were extended onto land already available to the Volta River Authority (VRA), the implementing agency, in order to accommodate the additional facilities. POTL therefore entailed a relatively limited resettlement operation in that narrow strips of land were required, permanently or temporarily, for access roads (where these were not available), pylons, the wayleave (or ROW), and staging areas for building the pylons and stringing the wire. Because POTL was routed away from population centers, most damage involved cropland along the ROW. A total of 654 agricultural plots with annual crops, economic tree crops, or both were affected; these plots were owned or farmed by 650 people. In addition, 19 residences, one school, and three shrines had to be moved out of the ROW, and the tall trees in four cemeteries were cut down. All relocation took place within the project-affected persons' (PAPs) own communities; there was no distant relocation. Moreover, the limited land taking in each case obviated most need for reconstitution of PAP livelihoods and standards of living, which occurs most commonly in large-scale resettlement operations such as relocation from reservoirs. In view of the limited impact of the POTL resettlement operation, this audit deals primarily with the compensation process. The audit reviewed the inventory of assets lost, the valuation rates, the procedure for determining compensation, negotiation of compensation amounts, and the payment of compensation. Nonetheless, the audit also examines several wider issues, such the nature and extent of public participation, grievance procedures, socio-economic baseline information, special assistance to vulnerable populations, and project monitoring. A. INVENTORY OF ASSETS LOST 1. VRA Procedure for Inventorying Assets Lost The VRA Real Estate Department procedural manual specifies that 'before any work commences on the required Estate, the Land Valuation Board [LVBJ or any recognized valuer shall be requested, in accordance with statutory requirement and as far as practicable: a) to conduct a site inspection for the purpose of referencing and assessing all properties (including crops and valuable trees) to be affected; [and] b) to submit to the Chief Executive for the attention of Director (RED) recommendations on compensation to be paid for acquisition" (VRA/RE Procedural Manual [excerpts], Section D). 2. Enumeration of Plots Once the intent to acquire land has been publicized, VRA/RE informs local notables about the intention to conduct a site inspection in order to inventory and assess all properties affected by the investment, and subsequently informs those notables when the site inspection will take place. On the day scheduled, the concerned villagers or townsmen are convened, and they walk the line along with the VRA and LVB representatives. The PAPs' role in the site inspection is to certify ownership or occupation of each cultivated or habited plot, and to informally certify the measurement of the plots, the inventory of crops and economic trees on each plot and the description of any structures thereon. Local participation in the site inspection of assets to be taken greatly facilitates compilation of a complete and accurate inventory in each locality. This audit verified the completeness of the site inspection through several indirect measures since it is impossible to ascertain the accuracy of the field counts once the right-of-way has been cleared, even in part. * First, VRA and LVB notebooks for the Ashanti Region were compared for internal consistency. This comparison examined the entries in each notebook for the town of Tweapease, which has 56 PAPs (equivalent to a 10 percent sample). The two sets of field notebooks, which are kept independently, were fully consistent, with the exception of one transcription error (pawpaw, which is coded as 'PA,' being recorded in recopying as bananas, which is coded as 'BA'). * Second, the field notebooks were compared to the topological map supplied by the Engineering Department. This map indicates the length and use of each affected property. Since the field inspection is done from one end of the line to the other, the entries in the field notebook should accord directly with the notations on the topological map, as is indeed the case. * Third, during field visits to the affected villages, no PAP indicated that he or she had been overlooked during the site inspection, even though there may have been disputes about the precise number and type of economic trees on a plot. Also during the field visits, no chief or other local notable interviewed recalled any instance of a plot having been omitted from the original inventory. In other words, internal consistency of field notebooks and other project documentation, along with the lack of complaints by PAPs and local opinion leaders about omission from the original counts, attest to the accuracy of the identification and measurement of affected plots. 3. Accuracy of Count of Physical Assets (Inventory) on Plots To judge from the field notebooks and the records of complaints maintained by VRA/RE, the count of physical assets on each plot is generally accurate, considering conditions at the time of the field inspection. For plots with structures, the procedure is simple and accurate. The plot and exterior dimensions of the buildings are measured by tape and recorded in the field notebook. In addition, the enumerator notes the construction materials of each structure (walls, roof, windows and doors). Significantly, there are no complaints about the record taken for structures. although the villagers in Esaase would like a better, 'modern' school to replace what they now have, an old three-room, mud-brick structure with corrugated iron roof. There is also no difficulty in enumerating cemeteries and shrines. With cemeteries, VRA/RE ensures that pylons are sited outside the cemetery area, so that the only 2 question is the cutting of tall trees, which requires ritual propitiation. (Village cemeteries are basically natural areas where villagers bury their dead. There are usually no tombstones, and the only maker of a tomb is a slight indentation in the earth at one end of the internment.) Similarly with shrines, the location is noted, and the community organizes its relocation outside of the right-of-way, with the requisite propitiation, because shrines should be in secluded locations. The procedure for estimating field crops is also straighfforward. For annual crops, the cultivated area is measured by tape, and the area to be taken is multiplied by a standard yield and crop value provided by the Ministry of Agriculture to LVB. There are, therefore, no complaints about the estimates for areas planted in annual crops. By contrast, counts of economic trees encounter two types of difficulty. In the simpler case, one or another economic tree, usually a citrus or mango tree is overlooked during the field inspection. In these cases, the landowner can call the attention of the project officers to the oversight, and it will be corrected. During the field visits, no farmer mentioned a continuing grievance about overlooked assets of this type. In the second case, the procedure for determining the number of economic trees can create variance in the tree count when the count is estimated from the area measured, as is the usual procedure. In such instances, the number of trees is calculated by dividing the area planted by a presumed planting density (or spacing distance). The difficulty here is planting densities can vary appreciably, and there are large differences between the recommended agronomic density and the usual tree spacing in farmers' fields, where more than the recommended number of trees is usually cultivated. The official spacing of 29 feet between coconut trees, for example, results in a count of 60 trees per acre, whereas the usual density per acre on farmers fields is more like 80-90 trees because plant spacing is only 20 feet or so (and variable at that). The difference between recommended and actual tree densities can confuse not only farmers who believe they should be compensated for more trees than the official inventory estimates, it can also - and does - underlie differences in the field and official inventories of economic trees when the agencies involved do not use standard planting densities (below, Section A-4). 4. Correspondence Between Physical Inventory at Field Inspection and the Legal Inventory of Affected Assets (Form F) The audit found some discrepancy between the original asset inventory at the time of the field inspection and the legal inventory of assets to be compensated, which is recorded on the government Form F issued by LVB to PAPs. This issue is important because the legally required Form F is the official registry of assets lost and thus the official basis for calculating compensation. The asset count at the site inspection is recorded on the legally required Form F, which is issued by the LVB, usually at the time of the site inspection. (In the instance of POTL, LVB issued the Form F to PAPs at a later time, once the physical asset inventory had been reconciled with VRA.) The presumption is that the assets recorded on the Form F will be identical to the list of assets recorded in the original asset inventory during the field inspection. 3 Such would appear not to be the case, however. The VRA field inspection notebooks were compared with the VRA summary sheets, and found to be in accord. Subsequently, the VRA summary sheet was compared with the LVB field inspection notebook and summary sheet for Ashanti region. The two inventores of physical assets were also found to be in accord (apart from one copying error, already mentioned). It was therefore expected that the Form F, which is the legal inventory of lost assets provided to each PAP, would be identical to the physical inventory recorded in the field notebooks and summary sheets. This expectation did not hold when these documents were compared in one village: 9 of the 18 Form Fs differed from the VRA summary inventory sheet that had earlier been verified with the LVB records. The discrepancies varied between 2 and 20 trees. Although the rate of discrepancy between the original asset inventory and the Form F was much lower in the other villages visited, there were differences noted in the field in one other village. Because in a few cases the legal inventory of assets affected, as listed on Form F, did not accord exactly with the original physical inventory agreed upon by VRA and LVB, VRA reviewed every Form F with the original asset count done at the time of the field inspection in order to determine the number of variant cases. This review of the documentary records indicated that in some 10 percent of the cases in Ashanti Region and some 2 percent of the cases in Western and Central Regions the legal inventory recorded on Form F varied from the original asset inventory taken during the field inspection. Significantly, the vast majority of such discrepancies concerned the count of economic trees when the number was estimated from the area cultivated. It is, therefore, presumed that the difference arose because of the use of different tree densities in the calculation. This occurred because VRA and LVB did not agree in advance on a standard density, because VRA and LVB enumerators calculated the tree counts after the enumerators had reconciled their field notebooks (which simply noted the area planted), and because VRA certified but did not verify the Form Fs at the time they were issued by LVB to PAPs. In this situation, VRAIRE has implemented the optimal solution, that is, to accept the higher of the two asset counts as the basis for computing compensation. When the Form F recorded more trees than the original asset inventory in the field, the Form F was taken as the basis for compensation calculation. If, however, the original asset inventory in the field recorded more trees than the Form F, the original count was taken as the. basis for the compensation calculation. In this way, the uncertainty created by discrepancies in the official registry and field records is always resolved to the benefit of the affected person. 5. Determining the Number of Project-affected People The inventory of plots differs slightly from an enumeration of affected people because of ownership issues. One plot may have two or more owners; one person may have two or more plots; any plot may be owned by one person but cultivated by another. For this reason, ownership must be recorded at the time of the plot enumeration and asset 4 inventory, and the census of project-affected people determined on the basis of ownership and cultivation rights. In the POTL project, 10 plots have two customary owners, usually a husband and wife with equal rights in the land. In such cases, the asset inventory is divided equally between the two owners. Sixteen people had two plots along the ROW; one person had three plots. In these cases, the individual receives full payment for all assets on all plots. Finally, four plots are farmed on a sharecrop basis. In these cases, in accord with customary tenure, the share of annual crops is divided equally between owner and sharecropper while compensation for any economic trees not planted by the sharecropper is allocated to the owner. Taking these adjustments into account, the enumeration of project affected people counts 650 people affected by crop loss and 19 people by loss of residence, for a total of 669 affected persons. (In no instance was a business other than a farm affected.) In addition, some community property was affected by the transmission line: one school, three shrines and four cemeteries. Table 1 presents the enumeration of project impacts on people, by type of impact and region. Table 2 presents the impact of the project on community property by type of property and region.

VALUATION PROCESS 1. VRA Procedure The VRA/RE Procedural Manual (Section C [excerpts]) states that: ii. "All valuation cases shall be assigned by the Director, Real Estate Department or his Manager, to the Estate Officer or an external valuer. Assignments must include a clear statement on the purpose for the valuation. iii. The Estate Officer shall carry out the valuation in accordance with the principle and practice of the profession and guidelines approved within the Real Estate Department. iv. The Estate Officer shall, as part of the valuation assignment, produce and submit to the manager for review a valuation report produced in accordance with the approved format v. The Manager shall review the report to ensure that the content meets the required standard. - In carrying out the review, any statutory requirement to consider the opinion of a designated government department shall be complied with. - Where consultation with a government department is not obligatory, it is still expedient, for cases of large monetary values, to obtain a second professional opinion on the report. - The review shall have due regard to the approved check list for i review of valuation reports." 6 2. VALUATION RATES VRA uses the unit rates established by the Land Valuation Board, amended as appropriate, to value lost property. LVB values land, structures, and crops -- both annual crops and economic trees -- separately. With regard to land, LVB consults with the Land Commission on recent land sales of titled properties. This approach is most useful in urban areas. In rural areas, where land is held under customary tenure, LVB investigates the current market price of land, and verifies this price information with indirect measures, such as informal payments to chiefs at the time of the land transfer. (See Annex D of the RAP for examples.) For structures, LVB determines replacement cost based on the current price of building materials. In this method, calculating the amount of material necessary for structures of different types provides a unit value per square foot that is multiplied by the area of the structure to be taken in order to establish the value of each structure. In rural areas, these estimated amounts are verified with local building costs. (See Annex D of the RAP for examples in the POTL project.) For community property such as cemeteries and shrines, VRA/RE uses a quite different approach because people have great emotional attachment these properties. In recognition of the different qualitative nature of these properties, which transcends mere compensation, VRA/RE insists, first, that no graves be disturbed, that is, pylons are sited outside of the cemetery, so that only tall trees need to be cut. Second, VRA/RE consults with the community leaders in order to determine what support is necessary in order to perform the necessary propitiatory rites. In these instances, VRA/RE provides whatever assistance is suggested by the community. (See Annex F of the RAP for examples in the POTL project. For crops and trees LVB uses one of two methods to calculate values. For large estates and commercial plantations, LVB uses the 'investment method,' which essentially tailors the compensation to the productive life of the assets to be taken in that estates with younger productive trees receive proportionately more than estates with older productive trees. For small-hold takings, LVB uses a tree count and multiplies the count by a standard unit value for that type of tree. In both methods, calculation of the unit value is based on production techniques, yield and farmgate price information collected regionally by the Ministry of Agriculture. (See Annexes C of the RAP for the list of assets lost and compensation calculations for each PAP, and Annex E for the unit price list.) LVB takes two other considerations into account in determining compensation. An amount of up to 10 percent may be added to cover legitimate costs incurred by the PAP in locating replacement land or structures (the disturbance allowance). In addition, LVB adds an average of 20 percent to crop and tree values in order to account for inflationary price increases in the year or two that may pass between the time of the site inspection and issuance of the LVB compensation reports. LVB maintains that its valuation rates are current and represent actual market price at the time of payment. VRA concurs in this view that the Authority uses realistic rates in computing actual compensation amounts. If at the time of payment, the current LVB 7 Authority to the beneficiaries," and " compensations shall be paid within reasonable time from the date of the acquisition of the property" (Section C-8; excerpts). Payment can be made to representatives of the claimant under specified circumstances. "Where payment is to be made to persons acting on behalf of the claimant, such persons should produce an authentic authority note plus three passport size pictures of himself duly endorsed." Also, "the successor of a deceased claimant shall, in addition to the appropriate papers, support proof that his claim has been established in a law court" (Section C-10; excerpts). Finally (Section D), "payment of compensation shall be by cheque made direct to the beneficiary or his/her accredited representative, only upon submission of a claim." "Payment of compensation entitlements is usually done at the local level: a) A convenient town or village is selected as the pay center on the basis of its centrality. b) To facilitate identification of claimants, a team comprising a representative of the Corporate Estate Manager, Opinion Leader in the village, elder/chief may be present at the time of payment. C) Paying officer shall ensure that the claimant who is on the pay-roll presents the appropriate documents (where applicable Standard Form F, title documents, etc). Both the original of the document and the duplicate held by the paying officer must tally." 2. Compensation Payment to Date VRA usually makes one payment in the full amount due to liquidate its obligations to the PAPs. In the POTL project, however, because the LVB estimates were unduly late and because villagers were agitating for payment, VRA made partial payment of half the estimated amount for crops and structures, with the intention of paying the remaining amount once the LVB compensation valuations were available. The payment for other community property, shrines and cemeteries, has been effected in full. The partial payment for crops and structures was made by VRA to each PAP at a meeting in each of the affected villages. The VRAIRE representative provided the list of affected assets and the global compensation amount to the PAP (or reads it to the PAP if illiterate) to ensure that there is continued agreement on the compensation sum. VRA then delivered a cheque drawn in that sum on the corporate account to the PAP, who signs the relevant papers signifying receipt of compensation in part. Most but not all PAPs received the first, partial payment. In particular instances, payment was not effected because the PAP was not available and had not nominated a representative to receive the payment for him or her. In these instances, the PAP will receive the full amount of compensation when the accounts are paid in full, which is estimated to be by October of this year. The statement of compensation accounts at present is given in Table 3. Annex B provides the list of compensation payments to date, by village, PAP and type of impact. Table 3: Total Compensation Due, Payments to Date and Amounts Outstanding (Crops) (in Cedi 000) Total Compensation Amount Paid Amount Due Outstanding Ashanti Region 1,173,590 545,980 627,611 Central Region 594,246 288,756 305,490 Western Region 1,087,235 486,721 600,514 Total 2,855,070 1,321,457 1,533,615 In the instance of the community school, VRA/RE paid half the estimated compensation amount to the community, with promises to complete payment once the community start rebuilding the structure. To assist in that endeavor, VRA requested its contractor to clear and level a nearby plot that the community identified as available for the new school building. While the plot has been cleared, the community is waiting for final payment before beginning to construct the new facility. VRA has negotiated with the communities affected to conduct the propitiatory rites required to allow felling of tall trees within the right-of-way over cemeteries and to relocate shrines out of the ROW. The negotiated compensation amounts are provided in Annex C. Payment by cheque drawn on the corporate account may cause difficulties for PAPs who do not have an account in that bank locally. During the field visit to affected villages, various PAPs independently raised the issue of difficulties in cashing checks. VRA has also received a written complaint that several people, including a chief, have been unable to cash their check. VRA has agreed to open corporate accounts at local banks in the project area in order to eliminate the difficulties PAPs encountered in cashing their initial payments. (The use 6f local accounts parallels the practice of some mining companies.) E. PROJECT MONITORING 1. Project Monitoring Projects with relatively limited resettlement impacts commonly institute an in-house monitoring system within the project agency. In the case of POTL, VRA relies upon its 12 staff in the Real Estate and Engineering Departments to keep track of land acquisition, compensation, and grievances. VRA/RE maintains a set of administrative records on asset inventories, payment receipts, and complaints. Both VRAIRE and Engineering Department representatives hear complaints on an informal basis and report administratively on their resolution. 2. Monitoring Impacts on Vulnerable Populations Projects that take land, no matter how limited the amounts, impact different people differently. The elderly, women without access to labor, the landless and near-landless all may find it more difficult to recover from land-taking than other people in that they may be unable to find alternative land, rebuild their homes, or open new fields. For these reasons, it is incumbent on projects that must take land to assess the impact of their actions on different segments of the population affected. Because POTL recorded little socio-economic information on the affected population after the EIA social assessment, it is difficult to assess the actual impact of project activities on vulnerable populations. For this reason, VRA/RE has agreed to administer a brief socio-economic questionnaire to all PAPs at the time of the final compensation payment. The questionnaire will cover basic dimensions of vulnerability (age, number of dependents), economic resources (primary occupation, other farms), and PAPs ability to date to replace their lost land. (The draft questionnaire appears in Annex D.) Using this information, VRAIRE will determine whether any PAPs require additional assistance to restore their incomes to the pre-project level. VRA/RE will submit this report, along with the nature of the additional assistance proposed, to the World Bank for its consideration. F. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND PARTICIPATION VRA and its contractors inform the local populations on the POTL about each of the various steps of the project. After official notification, VRA engineerng surveyors contact local officials in each locality to inform them of the project and to request permission to enter village lands for the topographical survey of the line. Subsequently, VRA enumerators contact village leaders in the communities along the line, including Chiefs and Elders, District Chief Executives, District Assemblymen, Unit and Town Development Committee members, in order to solicit their support and cooperation for the study. In the POTL project, appointments were made with all communities except Prestea and Bogoso, which presented particular issues, in order to collect relevant information about the communities and the individuals affected for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Finally, VRA/RE representatives contact the notables in each locality to organize community meetings with the PAPs. On these occasions, the VRA and LVB representatives walk the transmission line with the PAPs in order to identify ownership of each structure and agricultural plot affected and, together, to inventory the structures and crops for valuation. 13 Once the inventory of physical assets affected has been compiled and checked by VRAIRE and LVB. the agency representatives attend a meeting in each locality to verify and agree upon the extent of impact on each PAP. At these meetings, the VRA representative reads the inventory of affected assets to each PAP who then signs to indicate his or her agreement with the inventory. In the instance of a disputed inventory, the PAP may request a re-assessment or may, in exceptional instances, commission an independent assessment. In sum, public information and participation in the POTL project could be broadened. Specifically, unit price information is not publicly divulged to PAPs although the practical realities of land acquisition obligate the Authority to provide the information informally. To redress this situation in the current context, VRA has agreed to disseminate the unit price list for crops to PAPs and to provide an itemized breakdown of the compensation package at the time of final payment. G. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES Presently, disputes over compensation and resettlement measures may be raised by PAPs informally with local notables or VRA staff or, failing resolution at the informal community level, formally with the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and, ultimately, the courts. Most questions have involved questions over the physical inventory counts. As has been discussed above, although the field counts are generally accurate, some economic assets may be overlooked during the field inspection. Such oversights are typically brought to the attention of the VRA staff, either the representative from the Real Estate Department or from the project staff, and the VRA representative verifies the validity of the complaint, and corrects the official count accordingly. In the POTL project, disputes over unit prices have not arisen, in large part because PAPs have not been provided the unit price liSt.3 To systematize its current informal process of grievance redress, VRA/RE has agreed to institute local-level grievance committees that can attempt to resolve the issues, and, if unsuccessful, will forward the grievance to VRA for resolution. The local-level committee will consist of: the village chief, the Unit Committee Member (or Assemblyman), and a representative elected from the PAPs. VRA/RE will provide each committee a grievance registration form in order to standardize the records, and provide a tracking system for dispute resolution. (See Annex E for an example of the draft form.) These committees will be in place in time to register any complaints over the final compensation payments. The committees will also be responsible for hearing and, if necessary, forwarding claims for construction damages. 'Sucih disptiles have arisen in otlihe projects, usually whien a tralnsilmissioll line crosses a commercial planitation. InI SuLCh instanices, the plantation owner engages an independent valuer to asset the value of the clops alfcted anid submilts the indepenident assessment to VRA for its consideration. (By law, VRA is obligated to reiibuilrs this cost.) 'I'he majority of such cases center on the age and culLural quality of the afictedciCOp Averaloge unit prices are usuially acceptable when tie plantation is older.and yields are declininiig; thSre uLilt priices may be disputed, however, when the planitationi is reaching maturity and yields aire Increasing. VRIA. In consLiltalloni with the LVB, decides each instance on a case-by-case basis. 14 VRA will maintain a log of complaints at headquarters, with a monthly summary of complaints outstanding compiled at month's start (new complaints received, complaints resolved, and complaints not resolved but over three months old). The summary will be provided monthly to VRA management, who will take up the issues raised in old complaints (i.e., those in contention for three months or more) H. ACTIONS TO COMPLETE RESETTLEMENT OPERATION The Environmental Impact Assessment inquired into PAP concerns about the POTL project. While the majority of respondents (60%) expected some crop loss, most (90%) expected adequate compensation. A quarter of those canvassed expressed a concern that compensation payment could be delayed (EIA, p. 15). That proportion has today increased to the totality of the affected population because the transmission line was built in 2002 and energized this earlier this year while compensation has yet to be completed. In this situation, the need is to ensure that final compensation payments are completed in full as quickly and accurately as possible. The following recommendations are submitted with the aim of increasing transparency in the resefflement operation, reducing the number of grievances over compensation amounts and payment procedures, and thus completing the operation in the shortest period of time possible. The recommendations are summarized in Table 4, below. 1. Establish local-level grievance committees to record and resolve disputes. The current informal approach to grievance hearing and resolution can usefully be systematized so that complaints are registered locally and formally forwarded to the project agency for action within a specified timeline. Specifically, two local notables, such as the chief and the unit committee leader, as well as one PAP elected by the group, will be constituted as a local information and grievance committee. The committee members will register any complaint on a simple form and forward any complaints to the implementing agency, along with its recommendation on the disposition of the matter. The project agency will then have a specified time, two weeks, to investigate and resolve the matter. If negotiation at this level is unsuccessful, the matter can be referred to Corporate Management for decision, again within a specified timeframe, i.e., a month. If the dispute still continues, the aggrieved party has the prerogative of lodging a complaint with the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice or the courts. 2. Distribute unit price list for lost assets to PAPs, and provide itemized compensation offers. PAPs are unable to discuss their compensation offers knowledgeably when they are provided only a global compensation figure, without an itemized breakdown and unit price list. At a minimum, providing this information enables the PAP to verify the calculation of his or her compensation offer. Perhaps even more importantly, this information makes it possible for the PAP to understand how the compensation offer 15 was calculated, and helps eliminate confusion and disputes. Providing this information to PAPs is a basic requirement for PAPs' verification of compensation amounts, dispute resolution, and good corporate-community relations. For the present Prestea-Obuasi project, VRA has agreed to -- and will -- distribute the unit price list and the itemized breakdown of the compensation to each PAP at the time of final payment. Any disputes about the compensation payment will be registered as grievances, to be investigated by VRA, as specified in Action 1, above. In the future, VRA will distribute the unit price list at its first meetings with project-affected persons, and will provide the itemized breakdown of the compensation at subsequent community meetings, and as soon as possible after the physical asset inventories have been completed. 3. Verify compensation amounts for each PAP for accuracy, and update to current rates where necessary. VRA has calculated its compensation offer on the basis of the asset inventory agreed upon with LVB and the PAPs. The discrepancies found in the field between the VRA and the LVB asset inventory, on the one hand, and the physical asset inventory on Form F, on the other, mean that some PAPs may not be paid their righfful amount in compensation, while others may be overpaid. VRA has, therefore, compared the asset inventory and Form F for each PAP for consistency. When the inventory and Form F are not in agreement, the higher of -the two asset inventories was accepted. That is, if the Form F recorded more assets than the original field inventory, the Form F was accepted as the basis for calculating the amount of compensation. If, however, the original inventory listed more affected property than the corresponding Form F, the official form must be revised to reflect the actual count of physical assets. VRA/RE has now completed this action. 0 Pay for all land taken permanently, specifically the pylon sites. At present, VRA pays for land that is occupied by structures (e.g., houses, school) that must be removed from the ROW. Otherwise, within the right of way, VRA considers that it occupies the land on a temporary basis only. This view is generally correct in that most access roads and staging areas are used only during the construction period and low-height cultivation is permitted under the transmission lines once in operation. However, some limited amounts of land are acquired permanently, such as the areas where the pylons are erected and possibly some access roads, and these must be compensated in the same manner as is land with structures. 4. Open local bank accounts to eliminate difficulties that PAPs have encountered in cashing checks. The difficulties some PAPs encounter in cashing their compensation checks can be eased if the project authority open an account in its name at a local bank with the express purpose ot liquidating the compensation claims. In this way, PAPs will be able to cash their compensation checks without difficulty. The Authority can close the account after a specified time, such'as six months. (Mining companies in the POTL project area already use this approach because they maintain local accounts.) 16 5. Pay the balance of the compensation. VRA has already paid approximately half of the compensation due to almost all of the PAPs. Once the compensation amounts are finalized, the unit price lists distributed, grievance committees formed, and local bank accounts opened, VRA should proceed to'. effect final and complete payment to all PAPs in as efficient and efficacious a manner as possible. 6. Implement a procedure for systematically identifying construction damages, and institute a procedure for payment of these sums. The current informal system for registering complaints about construction damage will be systematized by using the local grievance committee (Action 1, above) to record and forward complaints to the project authority. 7. Administer a Vulnerability Questionnaire to PAPs at the time of the second compensation payment in order to determine whether any people affected require additional assistance. If so, determine what additional assistance is required, and how it will be provided. Because little socio-economic information about the people affected by land acquisition is collected at the time of the field investigation, it is difficult to determine the number of people who might require additional assistance and the types of assistance that might be needed. Because VRA values its reputation as a good corporate citizen, the Authority has agreed to administer a Vulnerability Questionnaire (Annex E) to PAPs at the time of the second compensation payment in order to determine whether any people affected require additional assistance. If so, the Authority will determine what assistance is required, and will specify how that assistance will be provided. In future projects, VRA should undertake the following additional actions: 8. Implement a land valuation process that facilitates timely compensation calculation, compensation offers and negotiation, and compensation payment before construction begins. By law, VRA is legally required to work through the Land Valuation Board for the determination of fair compensation. VRA has collaborated closely with LVB -- notifying its staff when their participation will be required for a physical asset inventory, providing transport and other facilities as necessary, corroborating the findings of the field inventory in order to ensure consistency of assessments. LVB, however, is inordinately slow in providing the official valuations, requiring at least one year and often two to complete its valuations because all of the work is done by hand. Moreover, LVB staff may, as happened in the current project, use different assumptions about spacing densities, which lead to significant differences in asset loss and compensation amounts. 17 In this situation, while VRA must continue to collaborate with LVB, the Authority can also use complementary techniques in order to expedite the valuation process. For example, VRA can suggest to project-affected people that they, the PAPs, engage an independent valuer to assess the extent of each individual's loss. The cost of the independent valuer will be borne by the Authority, as is, by law, already the case when a PAP disputes compensation and engages an independent valuer. Whatever the valuer's assessment, the Authority reimburses the costs incurred by the PAP. The only differences in the proposed technique is that the Authority would engage independent valuers systematically and would itself pay the valuers for their work on behalf of the project- affected people.

These include: 1. Develop a Resettlement Action Plan to guide implementation of the operation. Development of a resettlement plan is not only a common pre-condition for donor assistance, it is a fundamental necessity for project implementation and, no less importantly, for public information and good corporate relations with the communities affected. For project personnel, a resettlement plan (RAP) provides guidelines on what to do and how. For affected communities, a RAP provides basic information about the extent of impact, the method for determining compensation and other measures, grievance procedures and the like. In other words, a Resettlement Action Plan provides a common basis for project staff and affected people, thus facilitating the operation. 2. Coordinate the inventory of physical assets that will be taken with the topological survey for transmission lines and other infrastructure. When the topological survey for an investment is conducted prior to, and independent of, the field inspection for land acquisition, engineering concerns are not only paramount, they are the only concerns taken into account. Other factors such as minimization of social disruption and minimization of economic cost are, however, also important. Thus, when the preliminary alignment of a transmission line or other infrastructure has been determined on a preliminary basis, a field inspection of the proposed line should be carried out to determine whether alternative alignments might reduce the extent of land taking, especially in populated. centers and sensitive areas, such as cemeteries and shrines. The Engineering Department, in consultation with the Environment Departmrent and the Real Estate Department, can then determine the optimal alignment taking the various relevant factors, and public opinion and suggestions, into consideration. Further, the field inspection of land taking can be done at the same time as the topological survey. In this way, affected communities are involved in the physical lay- out of the investment. Also, all of the plots and structures can be included on the. blueprints of the alignment, which greatly facilitates dispute resolution and monitoring. Finally, access tracks and other temporary borrowings need to be included in original planning to the fullest extent possible. Such planning reduces the extent of social and economic disruption, improves corporate relations with communities, and helps ensure that the necessary funds are available to compensate for such collateral damage. 3. Record basic socio-economic information for each affected household at the time of the physical asset inventory. Taking land and other assets affects different people differently. In order to assess the probably impact of loss on individual families, it is necessary to collect basic socio-economic information about each landowner and any land user. In this way, any necessary additional remedial measures required by vulnerable populations can be planned from the outset of the project. The present focus on physical assets is understandable since a basic aim of this - work is inventorying assets and valuing them in order to pay appropriate compensation. Nevertheless, the aim of any investment is to contribute to the development of the country without impoverishing those who are directly and adversely affected by the undertaking. There are, therefore, additional concerns, such as the identification of vulnerable populations, which include the elderly, women-headed households, and small farmers and in-migrants who cultivate very small holdings. To determine whether these affected, vulnerable groups need additional assistance, it is necessary to collect a modicum of basic information about landowners and cultivators. This information can be collected at the same time as the field inspection. This complementary information includes, but is not limited to age, marital status, number and age of children, primary occupation, extent of total holdings (in addition to extent of affected holding), and other income opportunities. This information helps identify those PAPs who are either unable, or who would have inordinate difficulty to obtain or open a new field, plant tree crops to replace the ones lost, or find or construct a replacement house or place of business. It would also help identify those small farmers who might lose a significant share of their land, and who would thus lose a significant source of livelihood. (The identification of such vulnerable people can be verified through interviews in the villages.) With this information, the project can institute additional measures to help those people who require special assistance to restore their income to pre-project levels. The success of these measures would be monitored periodically in order to provide project management with timely information on any needed adjustments to the program. 4. Implement a land valuation process that facilitates compensation calculation, compensation offers and negotiation, and compensation payment before construction begins. By law, VRA is legally required to work through the Land Valuation Board for the determination of fair compensation. VRA has collaborated closely with LVB -- notifying its staff when their participation will be required for a physical asset inventory, providing transport and other facilities as necessary, corroborating the findings of the field inventory in order to ensure consistency of assessments. LVB, however, is inordinately slow in providing the official valuations, requiring at least one year and often two to complete its valuations because all of the work is done by hand. Moreover, LVB staff may, as happened in the current project, use different 2 assumptions about spacing densities, which lead to significant differences in asset loss and compensation amounts. In this situation, while VRA must continue to collaborate with LVB, the Authority can also use complementary techniques in order to expedite the valuation process. For example, VRA can suggest to project-affected people that they, the PAPs, engage an independent valuer to assess the extent of each individual's loss. The cost of the independent valuer will be borne by the Authority, as is, by law, already the case when a PAP disputes compensation and engages an independent valuer. Whatever the valuers assessment, the Authority reimburses the costs incurred by the PAP. The only differences in the proposed technique is that the Authority would engage independent valuers systematically and would itself pay the -valuers for their work on behalf of the project-affected people. 5. Involve affected people integrally in the planning and implementation of the program, including the establishment of local grievance committees. People in the communities affected by new infrastructure can assist importantly in the design of the investment. Moreover, they also have a right to know how they will be affected by the investment. People can help in the design of projects in several ways, if they are consulted meaningfully. People identify alternative routes that may take less private and more government land. They can identify the owners of land parcels and their whereabouts. Local committees can and do help resolve disputes more readily at the local level. And, they can assist in clearing the line and maintaining the right-of- way. At the same time, projects have an obligation to inform the affected population as fully and accurately as possible about project actions. People want to know - and have a right to know - about the timing of land taking, the procedure for calculating compensation, the terms and conditions for land use under transmission lines after construction, and other matters. Every project has an obligation to keep people informed, and to answer their questions are fully and honestly as possible. This not only facilitates project implementation, it enhances corporate reputation. 6. Complete resettlement compensation and initiate any rehabilitation programs before investment construction begins. By its nature, involuntary acquisition of land and other assets disadvantages the population affected. Any delay in compensation and any required economic rehabilitation programs only increases the impact of the involuntary resettlement program on the affected population. Good corporate practice requires that any resettlement compensation be completed, and any rehabilitation program be initiated, before construction for the investment begins in the area in order to minimize the resettlement impact. In this regard, VRA legally must collaborate with LVB in determining compensation values, but VRA can also institute an alternative process that facilitates the valuation - process and conduces towards timely payment. Namely, VRA can suggest to project affected people that they, the PAPs, engage an independent valuer to assess the 3 extent of each individual's loss. In this approach, as mentioned earlier, VRA would engage valuers systematically, and would itself pay the valuers for their work on behalf of the affected people. 7. Implement a monitoring system, with particular attention to vulnerable populations. The responsible corporate view of an investment is that it is not only a technical undertaking, but also an environmental and social intervention. For this reason, good corporate citizens implement environmental and social monitoring systems to ensure that their activities do as little harm and ideally enhance the areas and communities where they are working. Land acquisition for an investment is a basic, but not the only, concern. The consequences of that land taking, and the success of measure to remedy adverse consequences, are also of concern. For all of these reasons, the project authority not only tracks land-taking and its consequences, but also closely follows the success of remedial measures in order to maintain and restore conditions in the areas affected and to improve future investment interventions. p 4 VOLTA RIVER AUTHORITY PRESTEA - OBUASI TRANSMISSION PROJECT ASHANTI REGION CROP VALUATION ADAMSO FARM/ SIZES RATES TOTAL VALUE AMOUNT ACREAGE KIND L M S SDLG L M S SDLG ¢ P P 1 OPA 51 125000 _ 6,375,000.00 PL 16 8000 _ _ 128,000.00 - 6,503,000.00 2 OPA 20_ 75000 1,500,000.00 PL 16 14 24 8000 6400 4800 332,800.00 1,832,800.00 3 OPA 48 125000 6,000,000.00 - 6,000,000.00 41 OPA 27 100000 2,700,000.00 _ 2,700,000.00 5_ OPW 18 9 11 80000 64000 48000 2,544,000.00 PL 28 14 12 8000 6400 4800 371,200.00 Pawpaw 5 _ 6000 30,000.00 1253*100 CA 0.58 145061 84,135.38 6_Pawpaw. 6 - - 3,029,335.38 6 _________ Pawpaw 6 - 6000 36,000.00 OPW 2 80000 _ 160,000.00 229*100 Cocoa 316 _ 23000 7,268,000.00 _ 7,464,000.00 7 OPA 16 125000 2,000,000.00 AVP 1 70000 70,000.00 _100*100 PNP 0.23 3130260 719,959.80 __ _________ ______ _______ - 2,789,959.80 8 513*100 Cocoa 706 23000 G16,238,000.00 I_ _________ * 16,238,000.00 9 OPA 58 125000 7,250,000.00 . - 7,250,000.00 10 157*100 Cocoa 216 18400 3,974,400.00 1157*100 PNP 0.36 2947560 1,061,121.60 _________ ______ _______ =______ ______ 5,035,521.60 _________ =______ =___ =_ 58,842,616.78 VOLTA RIVER AUTHORITY PRESTEA - OBUASI TRANSMISSION PROJECT ASHANTI REGION CROP VALUATION ________ ADAMSO .
