Resettlement Action Plan

Section: 500 HVAC Transmission Line Route (T/L Central segment)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction:

1. Involuntary acquisition of lands could result in physical and economic displacement warranting the preparation of a site specific Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) to address such issues in a manner to ensure, at least, the same level of well-being of affected people with the project as without it. The RAP presented herein relates to addressing permanent/temporary land acquisition as a result of the construction of electrical transmission lines (TL) construction and operation under the Central Asia-South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade Project (CASA-1000). The RAP is prepared based on the provisions of the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF), which was approved by the Government of Tajikistan and WB in 2014.
