Environmental Checklist   INTRODUCTION The proposed Land Management and Administration Project (LMAP) is the first project (five years) of the govemment's long-term Land Administration, Management and Distribution Program, which is expected to be implemented over 15 years. The overall goals of the proposed project are to reduce poverty, stimulate economic development, promote social stability and improve environmental management. The objectives of the project are to improve land tenure security and promote the development of efficient land markets. These objectives will be achieved through: (a) development of national policies, the regulatory framework, Atd institutions for land administration; (b) issuance and registration of titles in urban and rural areas; and (c) establishment of an efficient and transparent land administration system. 1. ENVIRONNtENTAL GUIDELINES Environmental Assessment The project is classified as category B because it is not expected to have significant adverse environmental impacts. Other than rehabilitation/construction of project buildings, training facilities and institute building, the project will not support civil works, land conversion, resource extraction, industrial production or any activity that could potentially damage the environment. Technical designs and locations of civil works have not been finalized. Thus it is not possible to evaluate possible effects at this time. All buildings will be designed and constructed in accordance with sound architectural and engineering practice and will make appropriate arrangements for dust and noise control, solid waste disposal, sanitary facilities and worker safety. Contracts for civil works will be screened for environmental impacts. All policy and institutional development activities will solicit stakeholder input on environmental implications through public review procedures. Environmental Management Plan The project has been designed to promote sound environmental management and mitigate potentially negative affects arising directly from project activities. Classification of land and delitniitation of boundi(laries. Under its land management component, the project will support the classification of land and the delimitation of boundaries of land of different classifications. As making these decisions will not always be smooth, it is expected that the process will involve full participation of all stakeholders, including relevant govemment agencies, central, provincial and local government bodies, and families settled in the area. Sequiencing ofjsysteitnatic titlinig activilies. The project will not provide titles in areas of potential significance for environmental management until after decisions have been made with regard to its status and boundaries agreed. Such areas include remaining forests, protected areas, the drainage area of Tonle Sap and the lake itself, the coastal zone, riverbanks and others. Environmental input imito land policyformnlation. Wherever appropriate, the land policies and regulations being developed under the project will include environmental input. For example, the policy on the delimitation and administration of public land must be based on a good analysis of 2  the environmental implications of classifying the land in particular ways. Indeed a major principle for retaining land in the hands of the state is that it provides a public benefit in the form of improved environmental management. Other policy areas supported by the project that require environmental input include registering land in and around conservation areas (forests, protected areas, fisheries, and water resources), registering community and indigenous peoples' land rights, and allocating and developing land for the landless poor. Creation of capacityfor land management. The project will create capacity for improved environmental management in several ways. It will establish a university degree crse in surveying, land management, and land administration. It will also help strengthen capacity of the General Department of Land Management in the MLMNJPC and of the provincial and district offices of land management. The project will also link to programs of other donors supporting land use planning. Representation of environmental groups in project activities. The MoE is a member of the Council of Land Policy that is responsible for formulating land policies and regulations. The three ministries managing natural resources (MAFF, ministry of industry, mines and energy; and ministry of water resources and meteorology) are also members. The NGO Forum, which includes representatives of NGOs with an interest in sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, protection of coastal waters, and other land use issues, will be consulted regularly throughout project implementation. Advice will also be sought from multilateral and bilateral donors working in the area of environmental management. Environmental monitoring and evaluation. It is not expected that outcomes, such as evidence of improved environmental management will be measurable during the project lifetime, as the delimitation process is not expected to be completed until project year three or four. It is expected that the project's environmental impacts will ultimately be measurable through monitoring of environmental indicators planned by DANIDA (National Capacity Development Project) as input to the state of the environment report that will be produced regularly, and through research and qualitative monitoring of assumptions and trends that the Cambodian Development Research Institute (CDRI) is carrying out with support from DANIDA. 3  2. RESETTLENIENT POLICY FRANIEWORK Introduction This report sets out the Policy Framework for Compensation, Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Project Affected Persons for the Land Management and Administration Project (the Project). The Policy Framework provides the principles and procedures to be followed to compensate people who may be negatively affected by the Project so as to ensure that they will be assisted to improve, or at least restore their living standards, income and/or production capacity to pre-project levels. While no resettlement or land acquisition is anticipated under the land titling components, the Project has developed a policy framework to protect people who may be negatively impacted from three possible sources. These are: 1) land required for the rehabilitation and/or construction of project office buildings, training facilities and a building for a land management institute in the national capital and in the provincial capital of project locations; 2) potential eviction of people from land of which title is issued in the name of the state under the Project; and 3) right of way claim by the State in land inhabited by villagers before any ROW regulations were issued. Policy Framework The Policy Framework is based on the World Bank Operational Directive OD4. 30 Involwuztary Resettlement. The general principles and objectives on involuntary resettlement are as follows: 1. Land acquisition, involuntary resettlement and other negative impacts are to be minimized as much as possible by exploring alternative sub-project designs. 2. The resettlement and rehabilitation program should improve, or at least maintain, the affected person's pre-project living standards and should warrant their participation in project benefits. 3.. The compensations to be provide are: a) Compensation at replacement cost for houses and other affected structures without deduction for depreciation or salvage materials for houses and other structures b) Compensation in terms of land for land of equal productive capacity acceptable to the affected person for agricultural land (where land is not available, compensation is to be provided in cash at replacement cost) c) Replacement of premise/residential land of equal size acceptable to the affected person d) Transfer and subsistence allowance, when appropriate. 4. Plans for acquisition of land and other assets and provision of rehabilitation measures will be carried out in consultation with the affected people, to ensure minimal disturbance. 5. The compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation activities will be satisfactorily completed before a no objection from the World Bank will be provided for award of contract of civil works under each sub-project for office spaces and related facilities. Definition of Terms Project Affected Person (PAP): any person who, on account of the execution of the Project, or any of its components or subprojects would have their: 4  I. right, title or interest in any land (including residential, agricultural and grazing land), house or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; or 2. business, occupation, work, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or 3. standard of living adversely affected. Land Acquisition: the process whereby a person is compelled by a public agency to alienate all or part of the land the person owns or possesses, to the ownership and possession of that agency, for public purpose in return for compensation at replacement cost. Replacement Cost: is the method of valuation of assets which helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and transaction costs. In this valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. For losses that cannot be easily valued or compensated in monetary terms, attempts are made to establish access to equivalent and culturally acceptable resources and earning opportunities. Where domestic law does not meet the standard of compensation at full replacement cost, compensation is supplemented by additional measures necessary to meet the replacement cost standard. Rehabilitation: all measures taken to mitigate any and all adverse impact of the Project on PAP's property and/or livelihood, including compensation, relocation and rehabilitation. Compensation: payment in cash or in kind for the replacement cost of the acquired assets. Entitlement Policy. In accordance with the Bank's requirements, people eligible for compensation would be those who would experience negative impacts on their assets and livelihoods as a result of the Project. In general, people eligible for compensation would include those affected in the following ways: - Land to be permanently acquired for the project: o Owners with formal legal title c Owners/occupiers eligible for forrmal legal title under Cambodian law o Owners/occupiers not eligible for formal legal title under Cambodian law and provide evidence of occupation of the such land before August 30th, 2001. * Permanent removal of houses, otlher structures and improvements and land based assets, such as trees and crops: o Owners of houses and other such structures (whether with land title or not) and whether the house or structure was built with permit or not * Temporary effects, such as disturbance to land, crops, businesses during construction: o Farmers, land users and businesses Specifically, PAPs will be entitled to the following types of compensation and rehabilitation measures: 1. PAPs losing agricultural land: a) The general mechanism for compensation of lost agricultural land will be through provision of land for land arrangements of equal productive capacity. satisfactory to the PAP. However, if the PAP so wishes and the portion of the land to be lost represents 20% or less of the total area of the landholding, cash compensation, at full replacement cost, may be provided to the PAP. 5  b) PAPs will be compensated for the loss of standing crops and fruit or industrial trees at market price. c) PAPs whose land is temporarily taken by the works under the work contract will be compensated for their loss of income, standing crops and for the cost of soil restoration and damaged infrastructure. 2. PAPs losinig residential land and striuctiures a) The mechanism for compensating loss of residential land and structures will be: (i) the provision of replacement residential land (house site and garden) of equivalent size, satisfactory to the PAP: and (ii) cash compensation reflecting full replacement cost of the structures without depreciation. b) If the impact on residential land and/or structure is minor, cash compensation at replacement cost acceptable to the PAP will be provided. c) If the residential land and/or structure is only partially being affected by the Project and the remaining residential land is not sufficient to rebuilt the residential structure lost, then at the request of the PAP the entire residential land and structure will be acquired at full replacement cost, without depreciation. d) Tenants, who have leased a house for residential purposes will be provided with a cash grant of three months rental fee at the prevailing market rate in the area. and will be assisted in identifying alternative accommodation. 3. PAPs losinig business a) The mechanism for compensating loss of business will be: (i) the provision of alternative business site of equal size and accessibility to customers, satisfactory to the PAP; (ii) cash compensation for lost business structure reflecting full replacement cost of the structures, without depreciation: and (iii) cash compensation for the loss of income during the transition period. PAPs will also be provided compensation at full replacement cost, without depreciation for any other fixed assets affected in part or in total by the Project, such as tombs and water wells. In cases where community infrastructure such as schools, factories, water sources, roads, sewage systems or electrical supply is damaged, PMO will ensure that these would be restored or repaired as the case may be, at no cost, to the community. Partial Resettlement Plan. In case where less than 200 people are affected, a Partial Resettlement Plan for each work contract will be prepared by the Project Management Office (PMO) if the construction is meant for the center or the respective Provincial Project Management Office (PPMO) if the construction of office space is meant for the province. These documents will be furnished to the World Bank (WB)for its concurrence and clearance. Each Partial Resettlement Plan will include: (a) the baseline survey as described below; (b) detailed compensation and other rehabilitation entitlements for each PAP; (c) a schedule for provision of compensation and rehabilitation; and (d) a detailed budget and source of funding for the various compensation and rehabilitation measures. 6  After clearance from WB, the compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation activities of the Partial Resettlement Plan will be satisfactonrly completed before a no objection from WB will be provided for award of contract of civil works under each sub-project for office spaces and related facilities. Full Resettlement Action Plan. In cases where more than 200 people are affected by a work contract under the Project, a full Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for each such work contract will be prepared by the PMO and PPMO in accordance with the provisions of this Policy Framework. The full RAP will be furnished to the WB for its concurrence and cleatance. Each full RAP will include: (a) a baseline survey; (b) a socioeconomic survey; (c) detailed compensation and entitlement information; (d) implementation and rehabilitation activities; (e) grievance procedures; (f) arrangements for monitoring and evaluation, (g) implementation schedule and; and (h) cost estimate and funding source. As in the case above, after clearance from WB the compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation activities of the full RAP will be satisfactorily completed before a no objection from WB will be provided for award of contract of civil works under each sub-project for office spaces and related facilities. Baseline Survev. The information in the baseline survey for each PAP household will include the following: a) number of persons; b) number. type, and area of the houses to be affected; c) number and area of all the residential plots to be affected; d) number, category and area of agricultural land to be affected; e) quantity and types of crops and trees to be affected; f) businesses to be affected including structures. land and other fixed assets; g) productive assets to be affected as a percentage of total productive assets; h) quantity and category of other fixed assets affected by the Project; and i) temporary damage to productive assets. Socio-economic Survey. Information will include, among others, the following: a) age, sex, and education of each family member; b) main occupation and level of income of each family member; c) ethnicity of family and ethnic composition of community; d) residential history of family and of community; e) main agricultural practices of the family and community, if an agricultural area; and f) main non-agricultural employment opportunities. People's Participation The PAPs will participate throughout the various stages of the planning and implementation of the partial or full Resettlement Plans. For these purposes and prior to the preparation of the Resettlement Plans, the PAP will be informed of the provisions of this Policy at public meetings held by the respective PPMOs. 7  Each household PAP will be fully informed of their entitlements/compensation and rehabilitation under the partial or full Resettlement Plans. After compensation, each PAP household will sign an acceptance letter. Provincial monitoring will obtain feedback from PAPs to see if there has been compliance with Resettlement Policy. The WB team will also monitor these activities in its regular supervision missions during the period of project implementation; consultation with PAPs and beneficiaries will be conducted. Implementation Arrangements Implementation Schedule. A detailed implementation schedule of the various activities to be undertaken will be included in each resettlement plan. Payment of compensation and furnishing of other rehabilitation entitlements (in cash or in-kind), and relocation if that be the case, will be completed at least one month prior to the scheduled start-up date of works in the respective work contract site. Complaints and Grievances. Complaints and grievances related to any aspect of the resettlement plans including the determined area and price of the lost assets, will be handled as follows: * As a first stage. PAPs will present their complaints and grievances to the village and commune leadership. If the PAPs are not satisfied with the solution, they can present the case to the PPMO and then to the PMO. * If the PAP is not satisfied with the solution of the PMO, the case may be submitted for consideration by the Court. PAPs will be exempted from all administrative, transfer and legal fees. Supervision. Monitoring and Evaluation. Implementation of resettlement plans will be regularly supervised and monitored by the PPMO in coordination with PMO. The findings will be recorded in biannual reports to be fumished to WB. Costs and Budget Each partial and full resettlement plan will include detailed cost of compensation and other rehabilitation entitlements and relocation of PAPs, if that be the case, with a breakdown by agricultural land, residential land, business land, houses, businesses and other assets. The cost estimates will make adequate provision for contingencies. The resettlement plans will also include information on how the funds will flow as well as the compensation schedule. It will clearly state where the sources of fund will come from.  3. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES POLICY FRANIEWORK Introduction This report sets out the Policy Framework for Indigenous Peoples for the Land Management and Administration Project. As the new Land Law was enacted into law on August 30th , 2001 sub-decrees for the articles have yet to be developed. This will be at least two or th&pe years before clear guidelines will be available for communal titling in indigenous areas: While the first project will not undertake individual titling in areas inhabited by indigenous minorities, the policy framework will guide the preparatory work for the second project in this long term program of land management and administration. Where opportunities and demand emerge for communal titling, the Project will consider selective requests. Project Location The area covered by the first project has been proposed by the Ministry based on agreed criteria. They are in Phnom Penh and ten provinces and do not include provinces in the northeast where most of the indigenous minorities live. These project areas are as follows: Phnom Penh Municipality Battambang Kampong Cham Kampong Speu Kampong Thom Kampot Kandal Prey Veng Siam Reap Sihanouk Ville Takeo According to the available information, there are small numbers of indigenous minorities in two of the ten project provinces-Kampong Thom and Sihanouk Ville (see below). Indigenous Minorities EASES has recommended that the Bank's policy on Indigenous Peoples should be applied to the indigenous mninorities and should not apply to the more broad category of ethnic minorities, namely ethnic Vietnamese, Chinese, Lao and Muslim Cham (Jensby, March 2001; information on indigenous minorities below are also from the same source). In Cambodia, indigenous people are variously referred to 'Khmer Loeu' (upper Khmer), 'highland peoples' or 'hill tribes.' These groups make up a large part of the population in the northeast region; in the provinces Ratanakiri (62,000 or 66% of the total population, according to the 1995 census), Mondolkiri (23,000 or 71%), Stunig Treng (5,000 or 6.6%) and Kratie (21,000 or 8.3%). There are also small numbers of indigenous minorities in Koh Kong province in the south west (Minority Rights Group International, 1995) and in Preah Vihear, Pursat, Kampong Thiorn, and Sihanouik Ville provinces (ADB, 2000). Some of the indigenous minority groups are the Tampuan, Kui, Jarai, Phnong, Kreung, Kavet, Brou, Stieng and Lun. In general terms, most of the indigenous groups are considered to belong to the Mon-Khmer linguistic family (as do the 9  majority Khmer): the Jarai belong to the Malayo-Polynesian linguistic family. Estimated figures set the total population of indigenous minorities to approximately 120,000, or about one percent of the total population in Cambodia (ADB 2000, Inter-ministerial Committee on Highland Peoples Development 1997); more than 90% of these live in the northeast region. Land Policy for Indigenous Peoples The particular characteristics of the social/spatial use of land and natural resources in Cambodia by indigenous minorities, and the frequency of disputes conceming lands in whicl9`hey live, mean that land policy must be sensitive to the issues raised by these groups. Indigenous minorities have almost entirely depended for their livelihoods and subsistence on their natural environment, which they use for shifting cultivation and collecting forest products. Indigenous minorities in the highlands practice swidden cultivation, a rotational system of agriculture that leaves land fallow after use in order to allow the regrowth of secondary forest. If well practiced, this is a sustainable form of upland agriculture, which avoids the use of chemical inputs, does not significantly interrupt the forest and wildlife it supports and ensures a subsistence basis for the highland peoples, supplemented by the collection of forest products such as rattan, bamboo, fruits and nuts, mushrooms and vegetables, spices, herbs, roots and tubers, as well as wildlife. Govemment policy, as enshrined in the new Land Law, is that indigenous communities shall be granted communal ownership rights to their land (see Article 26). This communal ownership includes all of the rights and protections of ownership as are enjoyed by other private owner under law, with a sole exception that the community does not have the right to dispose of any communally owned property that derives from the State to any person group outside of the community. Making this policy work in practice will require careful research and pilot efforts which utilize the participation of indigenous groups. This research and piloting will result in an implementing subdecree of the new Land Law to enable communal titling. Local land use planning and enforcement will also cover areas of indigenous minorities' land and include them in the planning process. In the short-term the strengthening of dispute resolution mechanisms and control of illegal logging and land occupation are key measures which need to be taken. Policy Studies In anticipation of including the northeast area in the second project of the Government's long- term land program, studies will be undertaken during the first project. One study will be a review of the land tenure arrangements in indigenous communities. This will be based mainly on the extensive work on land issues undertaken by Oxfam in 1999. A second review will be of the projects implemented by NGOs working in the northeast area with indigenous communities and with communal land rights. Another study will be "Registration of Community and Indigenous Peoples' Land Rights". The study will develop methodologies for the registration of community and indigenous peoples' land rights and to support the preparation of any related implementing regulations. Additional studies will be identified during the conduct of the above studies. The expected outputs of the policy study on indigenous minorities are: a) A strategy and draft guidelines and procedures for titling community and indigenous peoples lands; b) inputs into the 10  preparation of relevant implementing regulations; and c) inputs into the preparation of an Indigenous Peoples Development Strategy or Plan', whichever is appropriate, for second project. The approach for working with indigenous minorities will be based on the policy guidance which a) ensures that indigenous people will benefit from development projects, and (b) potentially adverse effects on indigenous people caused by project activities will be avoid or mitigated. Included among the steps when working with indigenous minorities will be the following: o meaningful consultation with affected indigenous peoples; *1 o mechanisms incorporated into project design and implementation to foster the informned participation of affected indigenous peoples; o avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse impacts upon them; and o ensure that benefits intended for them are culturally appropriate. Titles in Indigenous Minority Areas in the First Project The project has determined that it will not provide individual titles of land in areas inhabited by indigenous minorities. Instead as mentioned above, relevant studies will be undertaken and appropriate measures will be put in place in order to include them in the second project. However, if in project provinces of LMAP there are indigenous minority communities who make a strong request for collective titles, the Project will consider their request. Collective titles will require conditions, such as: a. unanimous agreement among the community members; b. where the community has established its residence and where it carries out traditional cultivation activities; c. where boundaries can be clearly demarcated; d. no disputes or claims from others; and e. other requirements as appropriate. The NGOs contracted to undertake community outreach and preparation of village profiles in the project sites will conduct the screening to determine the presence of indigenous minorities in the area. Consultations will take place with these groups to explain about the project and to inforrm them that land titling of their areas will take place at a later date during the next project. I The Indigenous Peoples Development Strategy or Plan will be prepared based on the policy of the New Land Law (200 1), the draft policy of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Highland Peoples Development (1997) and the Operational Directive 4.20 of the World Bank. 11  IA: Environmental Guidelines Environmental Guidelines (see main text for more information) 1.
