7.1. Issues in Income Restoration

• How will the project affect sources of income and livelihood?
• What are the income levels of APs?
• Are there other non-monetary sources of livelihood?
• What are the constraints and opportunities for income generation?
• Is replacement agricultural land available?
• Will it be possible to continue with agricultural activity?
• How many of the APs cannot be reabsorbed back into their previous occupations?
• What are the existing skills of the APs?
• What type of training do APs need and is there capacity to provide it?
• How many APs would like to start their own businesses?
• Are there any employment opportunities or income generation in the main investment project?
• Is the project management committed to income restoration beyond compensation?
• Are there any ongoing income-generating or livelihood development programs (e.g., poverty alleviation) in the project area?

If a relocation site is being developed:

• Have any income restoration options been designed in consultation with and approved by APs?
• Are there any provisions for group-specific, targeted income restoration plans (e.g., microcredit or small business development for women, indigenous people, the disabled)?
• Are there enough funds and resources to implement income restoration plans?
• What formal and informal credit sources are available to APs?
• Are there any government agencies, community organizations, or NGOs who can provide technical or financial assistance for relocation and income restoration?

The flow chart on the next page provides a step-by-step analytical process designed to identify both skills and needs of APs for income restoration plans.
