RELOCATION ACTION PLAN
Kibaran engaged a specialist international environmental and social consultancy group to manage the Relocation Action Plan (“RAP”) to ensure its meets IFC Performance Standards. This group has valuable Tanzanian experience and extensive experience working with the World Bank and other international lenders.
A socio-economic survey of the communities affected directly and indirectly by the project is currently being finalised. The preliminary land and asset survey has largely been completed. Potential resettlement sites have been identified and are currently being reviewed by the Relocation Working Group, which consists of representatives from all stakeholders groups, the Epanko community, Regional and District Government, Regional Land Valuer and Ministry of Energy and Minerals.
A preliminary valuation of the land and assets identified in the land and asset survey has largely been completed. The results of the surveys and preliminary valuations will feed into a Resettlement Policy Framework. This framework and completion of the technical work is a requirement by KfW IPEX-Bank for the UFK submission.
Completion of the above work is targeted for the current quarter for approval by the Chief Government Valuer. The approval will enable the completion of the RAP, providing a detailed procedure for compensation, relocation and the monitoring and evaluation of the RAP implementation.
