3.8. Land Acquisition and Resettlement Time Line

Although the components of resettlement may vary in specific projects, resettlement activities normally take between three and five years, and often extend beyond the project cycle of the main investment project. Typical resettlement activities include policy assessment, setting of entitlements, data collection, planning, compensation, relocation, demolition, participation, and M&E of the programs. A time line should be established based on the scope and scale of resettlement work identifying the schedule for key resettlement activities. Normally, the compensation, income restoration and relocation work would all need to be completed before demolition and construction can commence.
