Part V contains three chapters focusing upon sector specific issues in resettlement planning and implementation. Chapter 18 covers resettlement issues in linear projects and Chapter 19 describes specific resettlement issues in regard to urban sector projects. Chapter 20 summarizes key issues relating to vulnerable groups, especially the poverty group, and recommended mitigation measures. 1.4 Acknowledgement These Resettlement Technical Guidelines are prepared in accordance with the provisions of Decree 192 on Compensation and Resettlement, issued on 7 July 2005, and the Implementing Regulations on Compensation and Resettlement issued by the Science Technology and Environment Agency, and the National Policy No. 561 CPI on Environmental and Social Sustainability of the Hydropower Sector in Lao PDR issued on 7 June 2005. The material presented in these Guidelines is generally culled and assembled from several sources. Major among these include the ADB’s Handbook on Involuntary Resettlement; ADB’s Gender and Resettlement Checklist, February 2003; World Bank’s Source Book on Resettlement; Resettlement Guidelines prepared under ADB TA 3133-LAO, “Strengthening Social and Environment Management in Lao PDR”, July 2000; and Resettlement Guidelines prepared under the WB funded “Hydropower Development Strategy for the Lao PDR” in September 2000. Additionally, information presented in these Guidelines is also drawn heavily from several development projects in Lao PDR as well as in neighboring countries. Where relevant, international best practice examples are presented in the Guidelines with an objective of bringing these Guidelines to acceptable international standards, without losing focus on the country-specific context.
