6.4. Relocation Plan and Targets

The relocation plan, selection of options, and development of infrastructure and services at relocation sites must be integrated with the project cycle of the main investment project so that APs can be resettled with minimum disruption to their lives. All relocation must be completed one month before construction commences. This requires project authorities to consult with APs and to work closely with them at all stages of the RP--from site selection to relocation of the resettlers at the new sites.

If the number of potential relocatees is significant, project authorities must establish annual relocation targets (within the context of the project cycle) to complete the relocation of APs well ahead of the construction phase. Appropriate consultation with the relocatees and host communities should be carried out to establish relocation targets and to achieve those targets.
