5. Socioeconomic Information

Resettlement planning and implementation need dependable and accurate data reflecting the precise impacts on APs so that appropriate entitlement policies can be developed. In projects involving land acquisition and resettlement, data collection serves three essential purposes: to understand fully how the existing socioeconomic profiles may be affected by the project, particularly the adverse impacts; to identify and assess all social dimensions that are needed to formulate plans to restore and improve the quality of life of the APs; and as a baseline to monitor and evaluate the implementation of RPs.

The Mission Leader commissions the data collection efforts and agrees upon the implementation arrangements and reporting requirements.
