| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | PPCs and ADB have agreed upon an environmental assessment and review framework. The road works are limited to upgrades within the existing or newly established right-of-way and environmental impacts will be minor and temporary. They will not infringe on protected or environmentally sensitive areas and will require only simple mitigation measures such as proper management of construction camps or storage of building materials. Each initial environmental examination prepared for the nine representative subprojects includes an environmental management plan with appropriate mitigation measures and have been publicly disclosed. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | PPCs and ADB have agreed on a combined resettlement and ethnic minorities development framework. Resettlement and ethnic minority development plans were prepared for all representative subprojects. They are supported by public consultation and information disclosure, which will be continued during implementation. The only impacts will be minor land acquisition and compensation for roadside trees, crops, or small structures within the rights-of-way, for which compensation, allowances, operation and administration, surveys, monitoring, and reporting will be financed from government counterpart funds. The internal monitor will ensure that any impacts are evaluated properly and reported to ADB semiannually through the PPCs. |
| Indigenous Peoples | Impacts on indigenous peoples, referred to as ethnic minorities in Viet Nam, are overwhelmingly positive and will enhance economic and social improvement. The project will neither cause displacement from traditional or customary lands nor negatively impact the identity, culture, or customary livelihood systems. The resettlement and ethnic minorities development framework will ensure the inclusion of ethnic minorities within project benefits and provide the basis to prepare subproject resettlement and ethnic minority development plans with impact mitigation measures, capacity development, a grievance redress mechanism, and compliance with ADB information disclosure and consultation requirements. |
