Channel: iaiachannel
Date: 2016-12-19

IAIA member, Liz Wall, looks at points where the worlds of resettlement and impact assessment intersect and how they can help to inform each other.  Case studies from around the world are used to illustrate the points of intersection, focusing on project design considerations, baseline surveys and management measures.
