Resettlement is a critical social process that requires a technically sound approach adapted to the real conditions on the ground. IMPACTO has, with its team of senior consultants in the field of resettlement, ensured that Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) have been prepared so that they are effective during the implementation phase.
The RAP is a tool that guides the resettlement process and the compensation of the community affected by any particular process or development project. IMPACTO prepares the RAP on the basis of national requirements and on the policies of the World Bank Group. According to national directives, any project that involves the displacement of people and or property requires approval of the RAP by the competent authority as a necessary condition for obtaining an environmental licence.
The following list includes some of the RAP prepared by IMPACTO:
- Liquefied Natural Gas – LNG – project in the Rovuma Basin, for the Anadarko company;
