Resettlement Action Plan Phase 2

Resettlement Action Plan Phase 2 (RAP 2) describes the progress of resettlement in the second phase (which commenced in 2017) and includes measures to ensure that past and current resettlement activities meet the requirements of both Tajikistan’s applicable laws and the international lenders’ standards1, especially the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standard 5 (ESS 5) on “Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement”. It includes the policies, procedures and processes to identify and mitigate impacts on people who are being or will be affected by physical and economic displacement due to the construction and operation of the Project.
