8.1. Issues Concerning the Institutional Framework

• Does the borrower or executing agency have any experience in resettlement?
• Is there any existing institutional arrangement for resettlement planning and operations? Or will a new institution be needed?
• Is there a need for a separate resettlement unit under the project? If so, what are the administrative and financial mandates of the unit?
• Is there any need for training to build institutional capacity?
• Are mechanisms for interdepartmental coordination for resettlement activities at local and higher levels in place?
• What plans are there to involve NGO and AP groups in the planning and implementation of resettlement?

Broadly speaking, there are two types of resettlement institutions: government agencies, and private, voluntary organizations like NGOs.

Government agencies include resettlement or environment agencies, government line agencies, training institutions, local land and civil administration agencies, and coordination committees.

Nongovernment, voluntary resettlement institutions include NGOs, CBOs, APs resettlement committees, informal GRCs, and resettlement monitoring and evaluation agencies.
