The key tools used in resettlement planning includes: census, socio-economic surveys, and detailed measurement surveys.
Census: The census is used to collect detailed information on affected households and properties at the Project area. The information is collected for a full understanding of the project impacts in order to develop mitigation measures and resettlement plan for the affected persons. The objective of the census survey is to generate an inventory of all affected assets including land, crops, fruit and non-fruit trees, and structures/buildings and to compile a list of all affected families and people taking into account the social and economic impacts of land acquisition and resettlement.
Socio-economic Survey: The socio-economic survey is also conducted to get an overall picture and general characteristic of the affected area and profile of affected households (AHs).
Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS). The DMS is a detailed and precise inventory of affected assets that will be affected such as, but not limited, to the following:
● Land to be acquired for the project;
● Housing structure including dimensions, and construction materials used;
● Businesses and potential income losses;
● Trees and crops;
