They are the Tay, the Nung, the San Diu, the Cao Lan, the San Chi and the Hoa. 2.4 Land-owned system of the EMs in the project areas Most of the cultivation land of the ethnic minorities is the field land and hill land. Besides, they still have residential and garden land. 2.5 Farming land system of the EMs in the project areas Farming and planting forestry and fruit trees are the main production of the ethnic minorities in the project areas. 3 Legal framework 3.1 The OP 4.10 on Indigenous people of the World Bank The plan is developed based on OP 4.10 on Indigenous People of the World Bank and Policies for EM GOV. According to OP 4.10: " The Bank's broad objective towards indigenous people, as for all the people in its member countries, is to ensure that the development process fosters full respect for their dignity, human rights, and cultural uniqueness. Particularly the objective at the center of this directive is to ensure that indigenous people do not suffer adverse affects during the development process, particularly from Bank-financed projects, and that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits.", and "The Bank's policy is that the strategy for addressing the issues pertaining to indigenous people must be based on the itnfornzed participation of the indigenous people themselves. Thus, identifying local preferences through direct consultation, incorporation of indigenous knowledge into project approaches, and appropriate early use of experienced specialists are core activities for any project that affects indigenous people and their rights to natural and economic resources". 3.2 Vietnam law Equality right of ethnic people was clealy stipulated in the Vietnam law and Vietnam Constitution (1992). Article 5 in the Vietnam Costitution (1992) stipulated that ' The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an united nation with many nationalities. The State implements an equality and united policy and supports spiritually all nationalities and prohibits race discrimination and separation. Each nationality has the right to use its own language and ways of living to preserve their characteristics and to improve its own good tranditional and cultural customs. The State carries out a policy to develop thoroughly and gradually improve the quality of life of ethnic minorities in Vietnam physically and spiritually" One of the most important policies in relation with etlnic groups is the Government id Guidance No 525/TTG on November,02" , 1993 regarding in detail on implementation guiding of development in high land areas and ethnic area with the main points (a) Construction Investment & Technology TransferJ.ls.c., 3 Victnam - Ruiral Distribitiioii Project ENIDP Bac Giaang Provinice develop infrastructure especially transportation road system and fresh water supplying, (b) step by step overcome the lack of food and (c) consolidate of education system; adjust education program basing on characteristic of provinces; create favor conditions and support the irregular education program and develop internal economic force. 3.3 Organisations and institutions undertake the EMs There are some professional organisations and institutions are responsible for the ethnic minority issues, i.e Council of Ethnic Minorities under National Assembly. Council of Ethnic Minorities is play an important role in making decisions on all projects/programs or issues related to EM and mountainous areas. The other important institution is the Committee for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas (CEMMA). CEMMA is the member of the Government. Each local also has the respective institution, i.e provincial level has the Provincial Ethnic Minorities Committee. 4 Project Impact on EMs There are 439 EM HHs are impacted by the project.

The project would focus on rehabilitating and increasing the capacity of existing distribution lines and substations and standardizing them to 110, 35, and 22kV to enable them to meet the growing demand more efficiently, provide better quality and quantity of electric power for productive uses, and reduce power system losses. The project shall be executed at 31 communes belong to 8 districts of Bac Giang province. These districts are: Yen The, Yen Dung, Hiep Hoa, Tan Yen, Lang Giang, Luc Nam, Luc Ngan and Son Dong. The project components: - Installation of new transformer stations: 55 stations with totaling 10,100 KVA - Construction of Medium voltage T/L: 34.006Km Current data shows that there are many places overloaded with high electricity loss and low service quality. Therefore, implementing this project will not only to satisfy with the ever increasing demand but also meet the full development demand on economics, culture, polictics and socio for the project area in privacy and for the whole socio in general. 1.1.2 Project scale Medium voltage * Step - downt transformer station Total transformer substations of the whole project: 55 subs Total capacity: 10,lOOkVA In VhiCh: - Installation of new transfoimer stations: 55 stations - Capacity of new transformer stations: 18,773kVA - Type of transfonner station: Suspend Construction Investment & Technology Transfer J.s.c., 6 Vietnaim - Ruiral I)istribii ton Proijet ENIDP Bac G iang Province - Voltage level: 35/0,4; 10(22)/0,4; 6(22)/0,4 kV - Capacity: 400-250-200-160-100 KVA Mediumt voltage T/L Total length of the MV T/L: 34.006Km In wvhich: - Installation of new 35Kv T/L 12.048Km - Installation of new 10(22)Kv T/L: 19.826Km - Installation of new 6(22)Kv T/L: 2.132Km - Conductor: AC -50 To implement the rehabilitation and expansion of MV system, land acquisition will be required. However, rehabilitation and expansion of MV system would not cause large scale of land acquisition and resettlement. 1.2 Ethnic Minority Development Plan The Bac Giang - Rural Distribution Project is proposed to invest to rehabilitating, upgrading and expanding its power network, improving the power supplied quality to all households in 31 communes of 8 districts covered by the project. These districts named: Hiep Hoa, Tan Yen, Yen The, Yen Dung, Lang Giang, Luc Nam, Luc Ngan and Son Dong and there are 8 communes belongs to 5 districts that have the EM affected. The EMDP's objective of the "Rural Distribution Project of Bac Giang province" is to ensure that the construction process shall not cause large affected scale to local people on their life, socio-economy and culture. It also means that there are no negative impacts on EM and they will be received many benefits from the project. 1.3 Policy framework for EM The WB Policy framework for EM and its Guideline have been prepared for the project. This policy framework is developed based on the WB OP 4.10 and the EM policy of Vietnam GOV. The Guideline is to ensure that all EM will be fully informed, consulted and participated into the project investigation process. Their participation is not only bring to them firm benefits but also protect them from the negative impacts during development progress. The EMDP report is developed in line with this Guideline (See Appendix 2 " Policy framework and Guideline for EMDP". 1.4 Ethnic Minorities in Vietnam The ethnic minority people are commonly among the poor groups and have limited benefits from social development and they are vulnerable to the apperance of possible physical impacts by their land occupation for the infrastructure project or social impacts due to the changes of favorable living place and acquaintance. Constructioii Investment & Technology Transfer J.s.c., 7 Vietnam - RuralI Distribuitioni Project Fi1DP Bac Giang Province WB policy aims to recognise the potential impacts, analyse cultural tradition of the affected persons in order to build up the best action plan to support them. During the process of building plan, the policy framework should be carefully studied before applying into the implementation stage. For this project, all administration units under EVN related to the preparation and implementation of this EMDP will be responsible for preparation and implementation EMDP. Therefore, the information of EMDP consultant and community meeting, the implemetation, grievance and monitoring organisations will be presented in EMDP profile. The policy framework for compensation and rehabilitation of EM is as similar to the other DPs. There are only special policy and programs are mentioned in EMDP basing on the consultant and feedback information from the EM and local authorities in the project affected areas The EMDP aims at providing information on ethnic group in the project areas and having development plan in compliance with WB policy OP 4.10, ensuring (a) the respect of characteristics of customs, habits and cultural tradition of the ethnic groups, (b) avoid negative impacts on ethnic groups during development progress and, (c) ethnic group will be entitled to socio-economic interests suitable to their cultural tradition. 2 Socio-economic conditions of the EMs in the project areas 2.1 Ethnic Minorities in the project areas The project areas have the following ethnic minority groups: Tay, Nung, San Diu, Cao Lan, San Chi, and Hoa. Feartures of surveyed EM households are as follows: * Average of family size 4.2 persons - Man 52% - Women 48% * Age groups - 1-17 yrs old 35% - 18-60 yrs old 58% - Above 60 yrs 7% * Heads of HH - Male 85% - Female 15% * Education - College/preleminary 0.5% - High school 7.5% - Primary 39% Construction Iovestmenit & Technlology Transfer J.s.c., 8 Vietilaill - Ru r-al Distributiion uPr'jiect ENID)P Bac Giang Province - Secondary 51% - Illierates 2% * Occupation DPs are mainly earning living by farming and live-stock breeding * Income (annual average income) 4,250,000VND/person/year * EM with motobike 70% * EM with TV 40% * EM with radio 45% * Water resource well 2.2 Features of Ethnic Minorities 2.2.1 The Tay The Tay people speak Tay-Thai language. In Bac Giang, the habits and customs of Tay people is ancestral worship. Ancestor position is the most solemn in their house. The Tay live on wet rice cultivation. They often choose to stay alongside rivers, plain areas, and valleys. The Tay's customs and habits are almost similar to those of the Kinh majorities. The influence of the wet rice cultivation is also found in their festivities. The Long Tong (Starting harvest season) is a typical example. This festival is often held in the first lunar month at the onset of rice and subsidiary crops. Other festivities of the Tay include praying for happiness and plentiful crops. Tay people cultivate rice, maize, potatoes and vegetables. Each of their hamlets accommodates about 20 houses, which can be stilt houses, earth houses or enforced houses. In the house, men often live in outer rooms and inner rooms are for women. The Tay wear clothes made of dyed indigo cotton. The Tay observes their own customs and habits alongside the State's legal system to strengthen their race and community. The preferences are still dominant in many Tay families. Married couples are faithful and few are divorced. The Tay worships their ancestors in the central and most respectful place in the house. The bed in front of the altar is always left empty, and strangers are not allowed to sit or lie on it. The Tay people also observe taboos. For instance, setting foot on the kitchen oven frame is forbidden. T hose coming back from a funeral must wash carefully before they can set eyes on their cattle or poultry. A woman who has just delivered a child must not come close to the ancestral altar. Coonstruction Iivestmeiit & rechnlology Tranisfer J.s.c., 9 Nietnam - Rural Distribtitioni Project ENIOP Bac Giang Provincec The Tay have a rich cultural life with diverse arts and literature covering poetry, sollgs and dance. They also perfonn puppetry, an art linked to the wet rice cultivation. The inhabitants treasure a huge volume of folk songs, proverbs and sayings, lullabies, and wedding carols. Many Tay natives have become noted national writers and poets. The Tay is straightforward, honest, courageous and united. They are hospitable and friendly. Once people begin to be acquainted, they treat each other as close friends or relatives. The Tay is an inseparable part of the community of 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam. 2.2.2 The Nung The Nung language is close to that of the Tay and belongs to the Tay-Thai Group. The Nung mainly worship their ancestors. The altar is placed in a room of the house and above it hungs an altar to deities, genies, saints, both Confucian and Kwan Yin. In Bac Giang the Nung live on rice and corn. They cultivate rice in submerged fields or grow crops and fruit trees. The Nung prefer to eat fried dishes with pig fat. A unique and luxurious dish of the Nung is "khau nhuc". Cross-drink has been a long-standing custom of the Nung. The Nung preserve an abundant collection of folk arts and culture including folksongs, and alternative songs (sli). The smooth melodies of sli in harmony with the natural sounds of the forests and mountains are deeply impressive to those who come to the Nung regions. 2.2.3 The Hoa The outstanding feature of the Hoa is their solidarity spirits and mutual help between their communities, groups, and families. They try their best to preserve their private cultural tradition. They always get married with the people in the same community. The head of the family play an important role in being the host of the wedding for his family's members. The Hoa 's class is sharply divided and is patriarchical. The solidarity spirits is fully preserved by the labour force. In Hoa family, the father or the husband is the head. When their daughters or sons get married, the eldest son will receive the bigger asset that their parents devide. Construction Investmenit & Tecninology Transfer J.s.c., 10 Vietnam - Rltiual Distributioni Project ENIDP Bac Giang l'rovince The worship their ancestors and ghost are verv important to the Hoa people. With the idea that everything has its supemnatural power, each community, people groups are sharply affected by the religion, Buddhism, and Confucianism conceptions. Each village has pogoda, temple of mountaini, river,... and the person who reclain waste land. The Hoa has diversified traditional culture as folksong. Song "son ca" is the most interested form that the Hoa people like. "Son ca" is not only the love song for young people but also expresses the Hoa's spirits in fighting fudalism, the bad habits of the old society and their adaptability with nature for existing and sustainable development. The Hoa is the small nation in Vietnam. Their entitlements are closed to the others nations in the whole country. 2.2.4 The San Diu The San Diu have other names such as San Deo, Trai, Trai Dat. San diu language belongs to the Han Group. The San Diu engage in farming either in submerged fields and on a part of burnt-over land or river banks. They also practice animal husbandry, forest exploitation, fishing, fish-raising, tile-and brick-making, blacksmithing and basketry. For a time immemorial, the San Diu manufactured the nowheel quet cart drawn by a buffalo to transport goods. The way of carrying goods by pole uses only when they go to the market. The San Diu's daily meals include steamed rice and poridge. They use weak poridge as refreshments. The San Diu have gradually adopted the Kinh's wear. It is San diu women's habit to chew betel and always bring with them a segment-shaped cloth bag to contain betel and a small knife to open areca. The bag is embroidered with many colorful motifs and the knife is protected by a wood scabbard engraved with many beautiful figures. The San Diu settle in each small hamlet. The house is built level with the ground, the roof is covered with thatch or tile and the walls are built by bricks. Patriarchy is the rule of San Diu family. The husband (father) is the head of the family. The children take the family name of the father and only sons have the right of inheritance. The parents decide the marriage of their children. although it still depends on the "examination of age" of the future couple. The funeral is celebrated with many rites. Three years otter the burial, the dead is exhumed to take the remains to bury again in a final tomb. This is also one of the San Diu's joyful ceremony. Construction Investment & Technology Transfer J.s.c., i1 Vietnam - Rur al Distribution Project E[IDP Bac Giang Province The San Diu worship their ancestors, the god of the kitchen, the genie of the earth and even the Goddess of childbirth. In a year, they hold many ceremonies such as before crop, after crop, new rice and rain praying which are related to the production. Thle San diu also worship Kwan Yin, Three Saints and their group founders. The San Diu's traditional folksongs are riclh. They use to sing altemating songs (soong co) in their cultural activities and at festivals. They possess an unique treasury of stories, particularly stories in verses. The dances are always performed to serve funerals. Musical instruments comprise horns, clarinets, drums, flutes, cymbals and castanets, to serve the religious ceremonies. Many games are much liked by the people including walking on sticks, game of sticks, badminton in San Diu way and tuck-of-war. 2.2.5 The San Chi Also called Cao Lan, San Chay. The San Chi comprise two groups which speak different languages. The language of the Cao Lan is close to that of the Tay and the Nung, and that of the San Chi to the Han dialect, both classified in the Tay - Thai Group. Ancestral worship is the main spiritual activity practised but is influenced by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The San Chi mainly cultivate wet rice but agriculture as a whole plays an important role. Dozens of families form a village and live in a close association. Formerly, houses were built on stilts but now those built level with the ground are very popular. The house is imagined to be "the Buffalo Genie", with its four pillars symbolizing the four legs, the beams as the ribs, and the roof as the backbone. One of the two corners of the top floor is a room for the altar to worship ancestors, and is regarded as the holiest section in each house. Today, the attire of the San Chi tends to imitate the Kinh or Tay. On ordinary days, women use the cord carrying the knife sheath as a waist belt. On festive occasions, they usually wear 2-3 silk belts of different colours. The San Chi inhabitants belong to various family lineages, each lineage having several branches and peculiar habits and customs, and worshipping a definite genie. The father is the head of the family. The family of the young man organizes the marriage but after wedding, the wife stays living with her parents and visits her husband's family now and then. She settles definitively at the husband's house only after child-bearing. The San Chi possess many old tales, folk songs, proverbs and sayings. Particularly, "sinh ca" (alternating love song chants) which is the most attractive form of cultural activity. They also have many dances like the drum dance, bird dance, harpoon fishing dance, shrimp-catching dance, and lamp dance. The most popular musical instruments are castanets, small copper bells, cymbals, wind instruments and drums. 2.2.6 The Dao The Dao are classified into many nation groups as Dao Do, Dao Tien, Dao Thanh Y, Dao Quan Trang, Dao Quan Chet. This classification depends on the color of their Construction Investmeint & Technology Tranisfer J.s.c., 12 Vietnam n- Rural Distribtition Project ENIDP Rae Giang Province clothes. Each group has their private traditionl. In some places, they are festival the God of Sun, the God of Water. In these festivals, they tell about their record in thle old year and pray good omen for the new year. Furthennore, there are also some other activities play during the festival. But the most atractive form that the joiners like is the love song. Alike the Tay , the Dao always open festivals to pray for good harvest for the next crops. 2.3 Preliminary screening of the EMs in the project areas The Rural Distribution Project is implemented at 31 communes of 8 districts of Bac Giang province.These communes have the followings EM groups: The Tay, the Nung, the San Diu,the San Chi, and the Hoa. There are 5,171 EM HHs in the project areas, of which 76 EM HHs are directly affected by the project (permanent land acquisition and temporary land acquisition) and 606 EM HHs live in the project area.

According to OP 4.10: " The Bank's broad objective towards indigenous people, as for all the people in its member countries, is to ensure that the development process fosters full respect for their dignity, human rights, and cultural uniqueness. Particularly the objective at the center of this directive is to ensure that indigenous people do not suffer adverse affects during the development process, particularly from Bank-financed projects, and that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits.", and "The Bank's policy is that the strategy for addressing the issues pertaining to indigenous people must be based on the iizforined participation of the indigenous people themselves. Thus, identifying local preferences through direct consultation, incorporation of indigenous knowledge into project approaches, and appropriate early use of experienced specialists are core activities for any project that affects indigenous people and their rights to natural and economic resources". 3.2 Vietnam law 3.2.1 Equality right of ethnic people was clealy stipulated in the Vietnam law and Vietnam Constitution (1992). Article 5 in the Vietnam Costitution (1992) stipulated that ' The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an united nation with many nationalities.

Proposed project development objective(s): The objective of the proposed project would be enabling the supply of sufficient power of acceptable quality to the rural retail level. 2. Preliminary project description The project would focus on rehabilitating and increasing the capacity of existing distribution lines and substations and standardizing them to 110, 35 and 22kV to enable them to meet the growing demand more efficiently, provide better quality and quantity of electric power for productive uses, and reduce power system losses. Based on suitability and priority of the subprojects and the interest expressed by the PCs, the project would have up to 7 components, one per participating PC. The proposed project would cost about US$158.5 million, of which about US$107 million would be financed by IDA. It would be implemented by Power Companies (PCs) under the supervision of EVN. 3. For the subprojects to be located in the areas of Ethnic Minorities, every special effort will be made through design, construction measures and construction schedules to reduce adverse impacts on Ethnic Minorities. For the rehabilitation/expansion of the Medium Voltage system, the adverse impacts would be on individuals and at low-intensity, most of impacts on land of Ethnic Minorities will be temporary, some families of Ethnic Minorities will be permanently acquired land for constructing of towers/poles and substations. Therefore, the project subcomponents would not cause any culturally specific impact on the affected ethnic minority households and the nature of impacts does not result in community- wide socio-economic effects. 4. Sub-projects may be implemented in Provinces, Districts and Communes where ethnic minority people are present as part of the population. In line with the World Bank's OP/BP 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Minority Plans (EMPs) will be developed for areas that have ethnic minority households according to this planning framework for ethnic minorities. I I WN- Rzrcil Disul ibuttioi P',rjoct. Ethl/iC A fjilojtwiis Plan1ing I- FlY7111CIOrn k JUly, 2007 F.thnic minorities are social groups with a social and cultural identity distinct from the dominant society that may make them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in the development process. According to OP/BP 4.10 ethnic minorities can be identified in particular geographical areas by the presence in valying degrees of the following characteristics: (a) Self-identificationi as members of a distinct indigenious cultural group and recognition of this identity by others; (b) Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories; (c) Customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and; (d) An indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region. 5. The purpose of this planning framework is to ensure that the development process foster full respect for dignity, human rights, and cultural uniqueness of Ethnic Minority People. More specifically, the objective of this planning framework is to ensure that EM do not suffer adverse effects during the development process and that they will receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits. 2. ETHNIC MINORITIES IN VIET NAM 6. Ethnic Vietnamese, known as Kinh, with about 85 percent of total population, dominate the political, economic, and social affairs of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. There are officially another 53 ethnic groups in Viet Nam who constitute the category of ethnic minorities. Most of ethnic minorities population live in the uplands. Population of ethnic minority groups range from over a million to only a few hundred. The only ethnic minority groups who live mainly in the lowlands are Hoa (Chinese), Cham and Khmer. 7. Ethnic minorities in Viet Nam are diverse origin. A majority (39) as well as Kinh speak languages in the Austro-Asiatic language family. But others speak Austronesian and Sino-Tibetan languages. They differ greatly in ways of livelihood, social organization. Some have had relationship with Kinh society for a long time, while others have lived in relative isolation until recent decades. Some groups have lived in their present locations for many centuries, while others have migrated into their present location within the past hundred years. 8. In the past fifty years, many ethnic minorities communities have shifted residence because of war, governmental settlement programs, or a depleted resource base. As many as five million Kinh have been relocated from the lowlands into upland areas. The biophysical, social, and political context of the lives for most ethnic minorities has changed drastically in the past fifty years. 9. Equality right of etlnic people was stipulated clearly in the Vietnam Law. Article 5 in the Vietnam Constitution (1992) stipulated as follows: The Socialist Republic of Vietnlamn is an united nationi having many nationalities.

Since 1968, the Governmenit has promulgated sedenterization policy for ethnic groups, reducing migration trends of the ethnic people. One of the most important policies on relation with ethnic groups is the Government Guidance No.525/TTG on 2/11/1993 regarding in detail on implementation guiding of developnmenit in high land areas and ethnic areas with the main following points: * Develop infrastructure especially transportation road system and fresh water supplying; * Gradual increase food security; * Consolidate of education system; adjust education program based on the characteristics of provinces; create favor conditions and support the non-fon-nal education programs and develop the internal economy. 11. Ethnic minorities in Vietnam have enjoyed better legal and political status than minority groups have in many other countries in the region, or around the world. They have received many benefits as a result of government policies. They have received preferential treatment in college admission processes. Cooking oil, kerosene, and iodized salt have been provided to them at heavily subsidized rates. The govemment, foreign donor agencies, and many NGOs have organized numerous development and special assistance programs that targeted ethnic minorities. Very large sums of money have been invested with the intention of helping the uplands in general and ethnic minorities in particular to "catch up" with lowland areas. 12. While many-probably most--ethnic minority households have better material standards of living today than they did ten or fifteen years ago, they are still not catching up with the rest of the country economically. Indeed, they are in many ways falling further behind. There are many reasons for the poverty of ethnic minority groups in Vietnam. The peoples are struggling to adapt to severe stresses placed upon them from population pressure, resource depletion, and cultural dislocation resulting from decades of externally imposed change. Development of the region must concentrate on promoting the process of adaptive change, recognizing that it must be accomplished by the people themselves, and that they will inevitably have to devise many different ways of doing it. 3. THE STRATEGY 13. The Bank's OP/BP 4.10 on Ethnic Minorities indicates that the planning framework for addressing the issues pertaining to ethnic minorities must be based on the free, prior anid ia formied consiultation of the ethnic minority people themselves. Thus, identifying local preferences through direct consultation, incorporation of indigenous knowledge into project approaches, and appropriate early use of experienced specialists are core activities for any project that affects Ethnic Minority Peoples and their rights to natural and economic resources. 14. The State of Viet Nam has the policy of not discriminating against Ethnic Minority Peoples as showed by the presence of Ethnic People Council in the National Assembly and Ethnic People Committee in the Govemment. Article 94 in the Constitution, 1992 states that the Etlhnic People Committee has the right to submit proposals, plans or related issues of 3 I-'N rnil D)istuibuttion P'roject Ethni7C Afin,?rlties IPih,mimg I-r(mtic'0rk JUly, 2007 indigenous peoples to the Assembly, monitor, control the implenmentation of nationial policies, development programs on various areas such as, education, health care, etc. Article 5 of the Constitution also indicates that ethnic minority people could use their own languages to reserve its cultural distinctions. In the Govemjiienit of Viet Nam, directly undcr the supervision of the Prime Minister is the Committee of Ethnic Minorities (which is equivalent to a Ministry). Development programs are supervised by this Committee. such as the poverty reduction Program 135 according to the degree No, 135/1998/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister to promote the construction of small-scale infrastmicture in poor ethnic minority villages. 15. According to the Government of Viet Nam, ethnic minorities have the following characteristics: - An intimate understanding and long stay in the territory, land or area of their ancestors closed attachment to the natural resources; - Self-identification and recognized by neighboring members by their distinctive culture - A language different from the national language - A long traditional social and institutional system - A self-provided production system. 16. This planning framework will applied to all of the sub-projects of Rural Distribution Project where applicable. 4. ETHNIC MINORITY PLANNING FRAMEWORK (EMPF) 17. In case the project involve the preparation and implementation of annual investment programs or multiple subprojects and when the screening indicates that ethnic minority groups are likely to be present in, or have collective attachment to, to project area, but their presence or collective attachment can not be determined until the subprojects are identified, the EMPF provides for the screening and review of these subprojects. The planning framework seeks to ensure that ethnic minorities are well informed, consulted and mobilized to participate in the sub-projects to be supported by Rural Distribution Project. Their participation can either provide them benefits with more certainty, or protect them from any potential adverse impacts of sub-projects to be financed by the Project. The main features/process of the EMPF will be a preliminary screening process, then a social assessment to determine the degree and nature of impact of each work under the sub-project, and a plan will be developed if warranted. Consultations with and participation of the ethnic minority population, their leaders and local government officials will be an integral part of the overall EMPF. 4 UN-Rur,-aII)istrihution l'loic'tC Ethnic Alinor,iticy Pl,,nni,, Fr,a,mewoiAk July, 2007 5. SCREENING 18. All communes which have ethlic minlority communities and are candidates for sub- Project will be visited (at the time of first consultation with communes) by PCs, relevant local authorities consultants. Prior to the visit, respective PCs will send a letters to the communes informing the commune leaders that they will be visited by the respective PCs and local autlhorities which would like to discuss about the sub-project. The letter will request that the commune invite to the meeting representatives of farmers and women associations, village leaders, and key staff of commune for discussion on the sub-project. During the visit, the commune leaders and other participants will present their views with regards to the sub- project. 19. At this visit, the social scientists (consultants) will undertake a screening for ethnic minority population with the help of ethnic minority leaders and local authorities. The screening will check for the following: (a) Names of ethnic groups in the commune (b) Total number of ethnic minority groups in the commune (c) Percentage of ethnic minority of commune population (d) Number and percentage of ethnic minority households along the zone of influence of the proposed sub-Project. 20. If the results show that there are ethnic minority communities in the zone of influence of the proposed sub-project, a social assessment will be planned for those areas. 6. SOCIAL ASSESSMENT 21. The Social Assessment (SA) will be undertaken to evaluate the project's potential positive and adverse effects on the ethnic minority groups, and to examine project alternatives where adverse effects may be significant. The breadth, depth, and type of analysis in the social assessment are proportional to the nature and scale of the project's potential effects on the ethnic minorities, whether such effects are positive or adverse (see annex 2 for details). The social assessment is carried out by the social scientists (consultants) whose qualifications, experience, and TOR are cleared by the Bank. 22. Infonnation will be gathered from separate group meetings: ethnic minority leaders; ethnic minority men; and ethnic minority women, especially those who live in the zone of influence of the proposed work under sub-project. Discussions will focus on sub-project impacts, positive and negative; and recommendations for design of sub-project. The borrower will be responsible for analyzing the SA, and for leading the development of an action plan with the ethnic minority communities, project engineers and other staff. If the SA inidicates that the potetitial inmpact of the proposed sub-project will be siginificaitly adverse or that the ethnic inioritv community rejects the project, the sub-project will niot be imiplenmented in that localit, n1o fiurther action is nieeded ini this case. 23. If the ethnic minority supports the sub-project implementation an EMP will be developed. 5 I N-R itii D1istrtibution Proicct Ethnic Afinorilic' / '1Ia a g Frwn mew'/-k J1l y '2007 7. ETHNIC MINORITY PLAN (EMP) 24. The ethnic minority plan will consists of a numlber of activities and will include mitigation measures of potentially negative impacts, modification of sub-project design, and development assistance. Where there is land acquisition in ethnic minority communities, the project will ensure that their rights will not be violated and that they be compensated for the use of any part of their land in a manner that is culturally acceptable to them. The compensation and rehabilitation will follow the Resettlement Policy Framework of the project. An Ethnic Minorities Development Plan will include: (1) Legal Framework (2) Baseline data; (3) Land tenure information; (4) Local participation; (5) Technical identification of development or mitigation activities; (6) Institutional arrangement; (7) Implementation schedule; (8) Monitoring and evaluation; and (9) Cost and financing plan. 8. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT 25. Consultants will also be responsible for training respective PCs, and a similar social organization to undertake the work of consultation, screening, social impact assessment, analyses and preparing EMPs. 26. PCs of the EVN and local authorities (People's Committees, Committees for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas, Resettlement Committees, Women Union and Land Departments etc. at different levels) are responsible for implementing EMPs (arrange adequate staff and budget). 9. MONITORING 27. Implementation of the EMPs will be regularly supervised and monitored by PCs of EVN and respective Peoples' Committees and Committees for Ethnic Minorities at provincial and district levels. The findings and recommendations will be recorded in quarterly reports and to be fumished to EVN and World Bank office in Viet Nam. 28. The independent agency or agencies which would be used by PCs to undertake external monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of resettlement action plans for the Project will also be tasked with monitoring the activities for EMP. the external monitoring agency will visit a sample of affected households in each relevant province on an annual basis. 10. SCHEDIJLE 29. The EMP should have an implementation schedule that is coordinated with the sub- project implementation. Logically, social impact assessments and group meetings should be 6 [VA-Rnral Distribution Prccl l-/c EIiii ,,o,iic,Aloitics F rame nork July. 2007 undertaken before sub-project designs are prepared. Compensationl for land acquisition should be satisfactorily completed at least one mointh prior to start of civil work. Monitoring should take place at the recommended times during project implemelntationi. It. BUDGET 30. The EMP, while provides development activities, will include information on detailed cost of mitigation measures and other rehabilitation entitlements for ethnic minority in the affected areas. Sources of funding for the various activities and financing plans will be clearly specified in the cost tables. 12. REPORTING/DOCUMENTATION 31. The EMPs will be prepared and submitted by PCs to EVN and then the World Bank at the same time that respective PCs submit their annual work programs to EVN and the World Bank for review. When EVN submit the final annual work programs of all the provinces to the World Bank for approval, an integrated EMP report for the provinces will also be furnished. Annexes: 1.

The social assessment includes the following elements: (a) A review, on a scale appropriate to the project, of the legal and institutional framework applicable to ethnic minorities. (b) Gathering of baseline information on the demographic, social, cultural, and political characteristics of the affected ethnic minority communities, the land that they have traditionally owned or customarily used or occupied, and the natural resources on which they depend. (c) Taking the review and baseline information into acco0unt, the identification of key project stakeholders and the elaboration of a culturally appropriate process for consulting with the ethnic minorities at each stage of project preparation and implementation. (d) An assessment based on free, prior, and informed consultation, with the affected ethnic minority communities, of the potential adverse and positive effects of the project. Critical to the determination of potential adverse impacts is an analysis of the relative vulnerability of, and risk to, the affected ethnic minority communities given their distinct circumstances and close ties to land and natural resources, as well as their lack of access to opportunities relative to other social groups in the communities, regions, or national societies in which they live. (e) The identification and evaluation, based on free, prior, and informed consultation with the affected ethnic minority communities, of measures necessary to avoid adverse effects, or if such measures are not feasible, the identification of measures to minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects, and to ensure that the ethnic minority groups receive culturally appropriate benefits under the project.

Mitigation measures Information from the SIA and meetings with the ethnic minority communities will be used by the Project Engineer in preparing the design, construction schedule and construction measures for the subprojects and the estimated cost of required work. These will include: a. Recommendations for changing line alignments, locations, constructionmeasures and construction schedule for subprojects to accommodate needs and preferences of ethnic minorities: Try to avoid the EM residential land b. Identify areas for particular cultural, spiritual or ecological sensitivity which should be considered in design and construction activities: Avoid constructing in the sensitive areas such as particular cultural, spiritual or ecological sensitivity c. Develop a program for communication, information and education by the commune for the ethnic minority community in the zone of influence on electric safety, potential health and social problems Open training courses d. Land acquisition and compensation: Where there is land acquisition in ethnic minorities,the project will ensure that their rights will not be violated and that they will be compensated for the use of any part of their land in a manner that is culturally acceptable to them. The compensation will follow the Resettlement Policy for Project Affected Person under the Project. Ethnic minority leaders will assist with consultation of affected households and with compensation activities. 2 Technical Identification of Development Assistance The province through its regular development program will provide assistance to the ethnic minorities living in the sub-project areas, e.g., priority for those living near the influenced areas in getting employment in subproject construction and maintenance. Priority for accessing to credits of Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development in medium and long terms. Assistance for agricultural development such as land reclamation. Where the areas overlap with other World Bank financed projects, ethnic minority areas will be targeted wherever possible. Appendix 4 -1/3 - Training: The Project will provide trainings for EM in the influenced areas on training on electric safety, agricultural extension. It will also include etlnic minority leaders in training sessions on SIA, resettlement, and participatory monitoring for EMDP implementation.
