The Central Mekong Delta Connectivity Project (CMDCP) will improve connectivity in the Mekong Delta Region and provide efficient access from Ho Chi Minh City to the Southern Coastal Region through construction of two cable stayed bridges across the Mekong River and associated roads: Component 1: Cao Lanh Bridge (2.4 km) and approach roads (5.4 km); Component 2: Interconnecting Road (15.7 km); and Component 3: Vam Cong Bridge (2.97 km) and approach roads (4.08 km). 2. Resettlement Plans (RP) have been approved, for Dong Thap Province & Can Tho, City by ADB on 5 April A RP Addendum for a new access road in Tinh Thoi commune (Dong Thap Province) was approved on 24 November ADB also approved detailed IRP for Dong Thap Province and Can Tho City on 17 March A Social Action Plan (SAP) has also been prepared and approved by ADB on 7 May 2013 and MoT on 4 July Finally the HIV/AIDS and Human Trafficking Prevention Program has been approved by ADB in June 2013 and by MOT on 26 th August CIPM is the representative of the executive agency (MOT) and is responsible for internal monitoring. As per agreed RPs, CIPM has to submit quarterly monitoring report to ADB and MOT. This report constitutes the resettlement & social monitoring report No.8 (QR#8). 2. OBJECTIVES OF INTERNAL MONITORING REPORT (IMR) 4. The objectives of the internal monitoring program are (i) to ensure that the standard of living of AHs are restored or improved; (ii) to monitor whether the overall project and resettlement objectives are being met; (iii) to assess if rehabilitation measures and compensation are sufficient; (iv) to identify problems and risks; and (v) to identify measures to mitigate problems. 5. The range of activities and issues that need to be recorded and verified, include: Compensation, allowance payments and delivery of assistance measures to AHs; Re-establishment of AH settlements and business enterprises; Reaction of AHs, in particular, to resettlement and compensation packages; and Re-establishment of income levels and living of AHHs 6. QR #8 covers the period from August to mid November During this period, an ADB/DFAT review mission took place from 17 to 22 August. 3. STATUS OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT ACTIVITIES 3.1 Status of Resettlement Activities 7. A total of 1,783 HH (1,525 1 HH in Dong Thap Province and 258 in Can Tho City) are affected by the project. Compensation is completed at 99.1 % for the whole project (99.1 % in Dong Thap and 99.2% in Can Tho). 8. Handover of land is completed at 99% for the whole project (99 % in Dong Thap and 100% in Can Tho). 1 This number includes the 10 HH affected by both a local project and the CMDCP; the compensation plans for these 10 HH were approved on 31st August 2015; all HH have now been compensated. 1

9 9. 16 HH are not yet compensated due mainly to pending grievances (14 in Dong Thap and 2 in Can Tho). 19 HH didn t yet handover their land (all in Dong Thap). Among the 19 HH, 5 HH committed to handover before the end of the year. Other cases are related to grievances or dispute on land. Tables 1 and 2 present the status of compensation and handover of land in Dong Thap Province and Can Tho City.

11 3.2 Relocated Households 10. A total of 571 HH will need to relocate as their house is totally affected and their remaining residential land is not viable. 350 HH (299 in Dong Thap and 51 in Can Tho) opted for self-relocation and 218 (174 in Dong Thap and 44 in Can Tho) to relocate in a serviced resettlement site. 3 HH didn t yet decide (cases under grievances).

Reasons for not building a house on the plot allocated are the following: i) some HH kept the plots as an investment and are planning to sell the plot; ii) some AH want to keep the plot for their children; iii) some HH find plots in resettlement site too small for their family. Most of these HH already built a new house (see section 4.2 on Ward 6 RS). 12. Among the 174 HH who opted for a services RS in Dong Thap Province, 165 were allocated a plot of land; the remaining 9 HH are waiting the solving of grievances. 4

The situation in package CW1A improved with the compensation of the 10 HH affected by both the CMDCP and a local funded project (bypass of NH 30). 5 among the 10 HH already handed over their land and the 4 remaining will handover when their house will be built (expected end of December 2015). Additional compensation plan is under review for 1 HH. 17. However this package still presents the most serious cases of grievances and delay in compensation (8 of the 14 HH who didn t receive compensation and 14 of the 19 HH who didn t handover land are located in this package). This situation hampers the civil works. 18. There are 9 Households (2,179 m 2 ) in An Binh commune, and 5 HH (3,914 m2) in Ward 3 who didn t handed over their land to contractor. 19. An Binh commune: (i) 4 HHs are under land dispute (Lan, Loc, Trieu and Hieu) and refused compensation; (iii) 5 HH affected by both CMDCP and local project will hand over their land in December. 20. Ward 3: (i) 1 HH (Tran Thien Hao) is in land dispute with her mother; (ii) 4 HHs (Hue, Cuc, Nguyet, Hanh) refused compensation due to grievances; 21. Annex 1 presents the status of the grievances up to November

14 22. Relocation of several infrastructures (electric lines, and telecommunication cables) is blocked due to land dispute along NH30 (An Binh Commune) and in Ward 3 due to the 4 HH who refused compensation.

In section of package 3A in Dong Thap province, all 207 HH have handed over their land. For section of package 3A in Can Tho City 100 % of land (has been handed over to the contractor and civil works are ongoing). 110/110 AHs received compensation; among the 110 AHs, 57 own graves only Package CW3B: /148 HH have been compensated but all HH handed over their land. 2 remaining cases are minor (HH didn t go to get compensation and HH has in LURC in a bank for guarantee). 3.5 Obstacles on the Right-of-Way 29. Several infrastructures (electric lines, telecommunication lines, water supply pipes etc.) are not yet relocated for packages CW1A, CW1C and CW2C. Annex 2 presents the obstacles on the Right-of- Way (ROW). These obstacles hampered the progress of civil works in these packages. In addition the relocation of a 110 kv line is ongoing (see section 4.5). 4. OUTSTANDING RESETTLEMENT ISSUES 30. This section presents the outstanding issues regarding resettlement. 4.1 Land Assets in the 4 Interchanges 31. A report has been provided to ADB/DFAT during the August 2015 review mission to propose mitigation measures to minimize land acquisition in the loops of the interchanges. Three scenarios have been proposed; the report recommended scenario 3 which is also the lowest cost option ($0.53 million. - Scenario 1 : Acquire all agriculture & garden land and all houses with current access in the loop ramp; - Scenario 2: Assist farmers located in the loop during the period without full irrigation (estimated at 15 months) and acquire all the houses with current access in the loop ramps; - Scenario 3: Assist farmers located in the loop during the period without full irrigation (estimated at 15 months) and build new access roads for HH with current access in the loop ramp; 32. In the MOU prepared for the August 2015 review mission it was agreed that : 8

16 - CIPM and the provincial authority will provide a preferred option to MOT and the financiers for their review and comment, by 30 September. If the preferred option is to adopt either Option 2 or 3 in the report, CIPM will instruct the DDIS to amend the report to reflect the mission s comments above. 33. The report was submitted to MOT and Dong Thap PPC for review in September The report is still under review by Dong Thap PPC and MOT. 34. The MOU also indicates that: - CIPM, together with DDIS resettlement team and environment team, to review the ongoing impacts caused by environment and resettlement and submit the necessary mitigation measures and support due to loss of livelihood to ADB by 15 October A report reviewing the ongoing impacts caused by environment and resettlement was submitted to ADB in early November 2015; this report includes mitigation measures for AH who experienced loss of livelihood. This report is under review by ADB/DFAT. 4.2 Access Road for Ward 6 RS 36. The main access road to Ward 6 RS is still under construction; however, a house belonging to the army has to be moved. According to CHLFD, no fund is available in 2015 to remove the house. Construction is now stopped for the main access road. 37. Another access road to the RS is now completed (see Figure 2). On 31 st July 2015, CHLFD sent a letter to all HH to be relocated in Ward 6 RS indicating that they can now build a house as the access roads are completed. Up to the beginning of November, none of the 21 HH, who were allocated a plot in the RS, started to build a house. 38. Among the 21 HH: (i) 13 HH built new house; (ii) 5 HH are living with their parents; (iii) 1 HH had house before; (iv) 1 HH is only affected residential land, their house is not affected; (v) 1 HH is renting house at ward 4 in order to be convenient for his work. He is state officer and does not intend to build house in this RS. As all of the HH who received a plot of land in Ward 6 RS relocated permanently at other location, no extension of the rental allowance was provided. This is also confirmed by the fact that none of the 21 HH started to build a house since they were authorized (end of July 2015). Figure 2: Status of Construction of Access Road to Ward 6 Resettlement Site Access road completed (October 2015) Internal roads completed (October 2015) 9

17 4.3 HH Affected by Local Project 39. Compensation plans for these 10 HH were approved on 31 st August 2015 by PPC; all HH have now received compensation and 5 of them handed over their land to the contractor. 5 HH are currently building a house in My Tho RS. The status of the 10 HH is presented in the table below. 40. An addendum to the resettlement plan was prepared for the 10 HH who were affected by both a local project (bypass of Cao Lanh City) and the CMDCP in An Binh commune. These 10 HH are now considered as AHs under the CMDCP. The final addendum was submitted to ADB in early November On 10 November, ADB indicated that they have no further comments on the Addendum. 41. This addendum also included a due diligence survey for the 20 HH who were affected by a local project (bypass of Cao Lanh City) but who were compensated and handed over land in Table 12: Status of the 10 HH Affected by both CMDCP and Local Project Name Date of compensation Handover (date) Relocation status 1 Nguyen Thi Ba 8 September End of December/2015 My Tho RS.

During the November 2014 ADB/DFAT review mission, CHLFD requested the Mission to allow use of loan funds for providing assistance to the 47 HH who affected under the initial project design (in Tan My and Tinh Thoi communes). It was answered that the Mission has no objection to use loan funds. However ADB/DFAT requested a review of the methodology and verification used for the assistance to be provided to the households. 43. At the request of CIPM a draft report on this issue was prepared by DDIS and submitted to CIPM on 18 December However a new assessment will be conducted by a team of experts will be establish to review the proposed assistance and determine the support for loss of income. 44. CHLFD set-up an assessment team with representatives of CHFLD, department of agriculture and mass organizations (WU, FU); the team checked the claims of farmers; the team met the communes in June-July to confirm claims and propose allowances. 45. A first report on Tan My commune was submitted to CIPM/DDIS on 10 November This report is under review by DDIS. Review of the methodology will be finalized by the end of November 2015 if the report for Tinh Thoi commune is available before November

18 4.5 Relocation of Electric Lines kv Electric Line 46. Part of a 110 kv transmission line is located in the RoW and affects contractors work. 10 new towers will need to be built (2 towers in Ward 3, 2 in Tinh Thoi and 6 in Binh Thanh communes) outside the RoW (see Figure 3). The 10 foundations for the towers affect HH outside the RoW of the CMDCP. CHLFD doesn t consider these HH as affected HH under the CMDCP. However, because land acquisition is linked to the CMDCP (relocation of the towers is needed due to the road construction) a due diligence has been conducted for these 10 HH. 47. To speed-up the process of construction, CHLFD paid in advance the 10 HH affected (compensation plans have not yet been approved). Compensation was negotiated directly with each HH. Compensation was done as a package (not item by item). HH negotiated directly with CHLFD and agreed once they estimated it was as a satisfactory compensation for them. HH were compensated for the foundation areas of the poles. There is no building restriction under the wires. 48. All HH were satisfied with the compensation received. Impacts are also limited (between 57 and 207 m 2 ) and no main structure was affected (See Table 13). Compensation rates vary from 300,000 to 1,000,000 VND/m 2 which is high for mostly agriculture and garden land; it also include trees and other secondary structures which may have been affected. Therefore the compensation was found fair for the 10 HH. Productive land acquisition is lower than 10% for all the 10 HH and therefore they are not entitled to the IRP. No additional compensation/assistance is needed. Table 13 identified the area affected, the compensation received and the status of construction of these 10 towers.

Two towers of a 220 kv line are located just outside the RoW (see Figure 4) in package CW1A (An Binh commune). However the safety area around these towers, encroaches on the RoW. No civil work is possible within this safety area. 50. On 10/19/2015, CIPM sent document No. 3900/ CIPM/QLDACL to Dong Thap PPC to propose to relocate the 220 kv transmission line out of Dinh Chung Bridge intersection. 51. On 21/10/2015, MOT sent document No.14003/BGTVT-CQLXD to the following persons: i) Chief of Parliament's delegation; ii) Dong Thap Province chairman; iii) People's Council Chairman; iv) Chairman and v) Secretary of Party Committee of Dong Thap province about support for completion of the ground clearance. 52. On 05/11/2015, PPC issued document No.1973/VPUBND-KTN and requested that CDHLF coordinates with relevant agencies to check and report to PPC before 13/11/2015. CDHLF is currently preparing the necessary documents.

21 4.7 Additional Land Acquisition in Package CW2C To meet the required curves, additional land acquisition is needed between km and km (Binh Thanh Trung Commune) in package CW2C. Land to be acquired is 4, m 2 of agricultural land owned by 12 households (see Table 14). 54. Among the 12 HH: i) 10 are affected by agriculture land only; ii) one by agriculture land and house and; iii) one by house only. The owners of the two houses are: (i) Lam Thi Hai and Du Van Giau and ii) Mr. Du Van Nhieu. Mr. Du Van Nhieu is landless; he built his house on Lam Thi Hai and Du Van Giau s land. He will be allocated a plot of land in Tam My RS. Regarding Mrs. Lam Thi Hai and Mr. Du Van Giau, the house affected is a temporary structure and they have another house in the same area outside the RoW. Therefore, they are not entitled to a plot in a RS. 55. CLFHD submitted compensation plans to Dong Thap PPC on 9 September These plans were reviewed and commented by DONRE. CHLFD will resubmit revised plans on 13 November 2015 following comments from DONRE. We should note that CDHLF already paid in compensation in advance (95% of compensation amount) for 6 HHs: Le Van Giang, Du Van Giau, Nguyen Thi Hoa, Nguyen Ngoc Hung, Nguyen Kim Lien, Nguyen Kim Phuong where land was needed in priority for civil works.

Among the 12 HH, 11 HH were already affected by the Project and only 1 HH is a new AH: Mr. Nguyen Thi Nhanh. However, he is marginally affected (17,6 m 2 of garden land). No additional public consultation was conducted as 11/12 HH have already been invited in public consultation on 3 August During DMS, CHLFD provided necessary information (grievance mechanism process, compensation rates, resettlement site etc.) to all AHs. 57. Among the 12 HH, 9 were already included in the IRP prepared for Dong Thap Province. Mr. Du Van Nhieu is landless and will be entitled to the RP during the next phase. Regarding the two other HH`; i) Mr. Nguyen Thi Nhanh is losing less than 10% of his productive land; and ii) Mr. Huynh Ngoc An even with the additional land acquisition is still losing less than 10% of agriculture land. Therefore they are not entitled to the IRP. 58. Compensation rates applied are based on the replacement cost study conducted in April 2014 for the Component 2 and approved by PPC (Document No 224/UBND-KTTH dated 26/04/2014).

23 5. GRIEVANCE PROCESS 59. Dong Thap Province established a task force to manage the Project grievance redress process. 13 grievances remain in the Province. In Can Tho only one HH has still a grievance but he handed over his land. 60. Table 16 presents a summary of the status and reasons of grievances. The main reasons for grievances are the rates for land, mainly residential land, (6 cases), compensation for land outside the RoW (6 cases), and land dispute (6 cases). Annex 1 presents the detailed of each grievance. 61. On 28 October 2015, a meeting was held in Dong Thap PPC with representatives of districts/city and wards, CHLFD, CIPM and DDIS. The purpose of the meeting was to review outstanding issues in resettlement. Several decisions were taken during this meeting as presented in Annex Two new grievances were submitted since the last QR: cases of Mr. Dang Kim Hung and Mr. Dang Kim Loan in package CW1A. These 2 HH are among the 10 HH affected by both a local project and the CMDCP. However these grievances have been solved in October Details on these grievance are presented in Annex 1.

24 6. INCOME RESTORATION PROGRAM 6.1 Status of IRP Activities 63. IRP is under implementation in both Dong Thap Province and Can Tho City and several activities have been conducted or are ongoing. 64. Training is now completed for small business in both Can Tho and Dong Thap. Regarding training for agriculture it is completed in Can Tho and ongoing in Dong Thap. Vocational training is also ongoing in both Can Tho and Dong Thap. 65. There is significant progress in the implementation of IRP activities especially regarding training but delivering of inputs has not yet started. For agriculture activities it is due to the need for survey among suppliers and the bidding process. For small business delivering of equipment should take place quickly. Once price of inputs known (following surveys) than the use of the remaining amount could take place. 66. A summary of the activities completed and planned are presented in the table below: Activities completed/ ongoing Table 17: Summary of Activities Completed, Ongoing and Planned Dong Thap Province - Vocational Training ` - Started in August and is ongoing; - Small Business - WU completed training and survey of input demand for each HH. - Currently, WU summarizes and classifies the list input to buy and are identifying who will be the suppliers; Input will then be handed over to HH; expected in November; - Agricultural activities - Organized visits for HH from Dinh An and Bình Thanh communes to visit farm model for raising cow in Tra Vinh province (12/7/2015).Tan My commune: at Ben Tre province (8/8/2015). Binh Thanh Trung commune in An Giang province (31/7/2015). My An Hung B in An Giang province ( 12/9/2015) - Organize site visit to model farm for raising pig for: Dinh An, Binh Thanh Trung communes in An Giang province (1/8/2015) Can Tho City - Vocational Training ` - Started in July and is ongoing; - Small Business - Training for small business conducted by WU was completed in July Currently, WU summarizes and classifies the list input to buy and are identifying who will be the suppliers; Input will then be handed over to HH in November; - Agricultural activities - Training for agriculture activities started on 29 July 2015 and was completed in September; - On 2 November, participants went to An Giang to choose cow. - Working group met all stakeholders (AEC, FU etc.) to explain their role during the follow-up phase; 17

25 Activities planned - Training for raising cow started on 4/9/2015 and 8/9/2015 for Dinh An and Binh Thanh respectively; - Training for cow breeding training was done for 176/269 HHs in 6 communes in October, Agricultural activities in Dong Thap province with big budget and large number of participants. Therefore CHLFD have prepared regulation documents for purchasing breeding animals and domestic animal follows land regulation and submitted to Dong Thap province and Steering committee was submitted to PPC and approved on 9 October 2015 ; - - Buying and delivery of inputs is expected in November and December 2015; - Inputs (animals and equipment) will be delivered to participants in November 2015; - Follow-up phase will start in November 6.2 Issues Raised 67. During meetings with SC and WG on 14 October in Can Tho and on 15 October in Dong Thap several issues were raised as presented in the sections below Change of activities 68. Following the reconfirmation of activities in last June in Dong Thap province a large number of HH changed of activities (216) as indicated below: - An Dinh Commune 56 / 231 HH changed activity; - Binh Thanh 36 / 140 HH changed activity; - Binh Thanh Trung commune 16 / 121 HH changed activity; - My Hung Commune 26/145 HH changed activity; - Tan My Commune 33/174 HH changed activity; - Tinh Thoi Commune 26/277 HH changed activity; - Ward 3 12/32 HH changed activity; - An Binh Commune 11/55 HH changed activity; 69. According to the working group on agriculture, most of the HH changed for the same type of activity (i.e. change within agriculture activities, small business). However some changed of type of activity. It was agreed that WG on agriculture needs to update the list of HH as soon as possible to identify all the changes and to identify impact on budget, training. Approval from Dong Thap PPC is needed in case of change of budget. To avoid any delay, it was agreed that training as well as delivery 18

26 19 of inputs will start with the HH who didn t change of activity (budget already approved) Buying and Delivery of Cows 70. Finding suppliers for cows was difficult as there is no suppliers in both Can Tho and Dong Thap. Participants have to buy cows in An Giang Province. There was an issue with the supplier for Xan Tho concerning appropriate invoice for liquidation. It was finally solved and a contract will be signed with supplier in An Giang province. In Can Tho City, all participants went to choose a cow in An Giang Province on 2 November. They wrote their name on the cow (see photo in Annex 3). Delivery of cows is expected on 20 November The problem is for cow only; for other inputs (pigs, chicken, duck, there is no problem because suppliers can easily be found in Can Tho and Dong Thap Reporting 72. Monthly reports have been prepared in October DDIS indicated to SC that reports should disaggregate all data by gender (person participating in training, person receiving input etc.) Use of contingencies in Can Tho 73. SC of Can Tho City sent to CIPM a letter on 7 October requesting authorization to use of contingencies for: - Additional cost for cow surveys; - Hire security guards for the IRP office; - Organize training course during holidays; - Support for WU activities to buy goods and handover inputs 74. As there was no change in the total budget the request was approved by CIPM Bidding and VAT 75. According to Vietnamese regulations, bidding are necessary for government contracts. Invoices of famers also need to include VAT. It is also necessary for liquidation issues. CHFLD of Dong Thap province issued guidelines for staff and WG on how to deal with bidding and VAT. This document was approved by Dong Thap PPC on 9 October Dong Thap SC will follow this procedure to buy inputs Involvement of Farmer s Union 76. In Dong Thap Province Farmer s Union indicated that they don t know well their role regarding IRP implementation. DDIS took the example of Can Tho City where leader of working group on agriculture invited all FU at all levels for a meeting to explain their role (mainly during follow-up). It was suggested that working group on agriculture in Dong Thap will also organize such meetings. Can Tho working groups leader (Mr. Trung) could be contacted for advice. DDIS can also join meeting if requested by working groups. Representatives of FU joined the meeting on 15 October Invoice for Shops 77. Regarding vocational training, when the number of trainees is too small to organize a training course, it is proposed to send participants in a shop/service providing the service and registered at the vocational training center. If the shop has no official invoice, it is propose to have a form signed by; i) supplier; ii) participant; iii) VTC; and iv) local authorities; leader of WG will also certify.

27 6.3 IRP to Target Women more Effectively 78. During the ADB/DFAT review mission in August, the Mission expressed its concern that the small business training was not targeting women effectively as originally intended and it may affect training effectiveness as some participants (male) will unlikely run the small business despite being trained. It was agreed that the IRP working group will ensure to target the participants who will actually operate the small businesses. The same applies to participants who will be trained and will carry out the agricultural activities. 79. DDIS worked with working groups in September 2015 on this issue. First, review and update of data of participants for small business, show that a majority of women in both Can Tho and Dong Thap (respectively 63 and 51%) participated to the training and will conduct the small business (see Table 18). 80. For agriculture activities and small business, it was agreed with working groups (AEC, FU, WU), that once the HH will received input, if the person trained is not the one who is conducting the IRP activity (especially if men follow training and women is conducting the activity), the working group will provide specific guidance to the person really conducting the activity.

SOCIAL ACTION PLAN 7.1 Status of Implementation of the Social Action Plan 81. In the MOU prepared following the August 2015 review mission, the mission reported that data collection and reporting on the various activities under the social action plan were not sexdisaggregated. In addition, reporting gender targets as per gender strategy was not sufficiently covered in the progress reports. An update of the status of implementation of the Social Action Plan with data disaggregated by gender (highlighted in green) has been prepared and is presented in Annex 4. 20

28 7.2 Capacity Building on Gender 82. As part of the SAP, the third round of capacity building for gender mainstreaming was conducted in Dong Thap province and Can Tho City in September During the August 2015 ADB/DFAT review mission, the ADB gender specialist, Mrs. Nguyen Thanh Giang, requested that the future gender training (i) include gender sensitization training for key relevant PMUs staff and (ii) include contents on how gender equality is practically promoted in the project (through increasing equal opportunity of access and control over resources for both women and men) and roles and responsibility of stakeholders in this process. 84. Even if the training was already planned at the time of the ADB mission (number of participants, agencies involved), comments regarding the content have been taken into account for the 4 th round of capacity building. 85. The objectives of the training was to ensure capacity building in gender equity and facilitate women's participation and empowerment for the CMDCP. A total of 137 persons (51 men and 86 women (63%)) participated to the 4 workshops. The table below indicates the dates, location and participants of the workshops.

After this course, participants were able to: Help to improve gender awareness among the project activities, understanding of gender roles in social life and gender roles in IRP towards gender equality in society. 7.3 Employment of Female Workers by Contractor 90. In QR #5 it was highlighted that few women are employed by contractors (around 5 %). Followup conducted in May and September 2015 showed that contractors employ women mainly for services (cooking, cleaning office etc.) and quite few workers on construction sites are employed. Only package CW3B have higher rate of employment for women. 91. Up to the end of September 2015, women represented 6.3% of all staff (8% of management and office staff and 5.8% of workers). To explain why few women are employed, contractors gave gender stereotype reasons such as women do not like hard work and working outside under hot weather.
