It promotes sustainable ecosystem-based and infrastructure solutions to protect communities, livelihoods, and critical assets. The Gambia’s participation in WACA aims to reduce vulnerability to flooding, improve climate resilience, and enhance socio-economic development through integrated water and coastal management approaches. To avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement, forced eviction and mitigate unavoidable adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition or restrictions on land use, the WACA Project has prepared a resettlement policy framework (RPF) to clarify the rules for identifying people who may be affected by the implementation of project and takes into account the requirements of the new Environment and Social Framework (ESF) especially Environment and Social Standard (ESS) 5, and the national laws and regulations of the Gambia that deal with Involuntary Resettlement. With the anticipated improvement works around the Kotu stream area, the present framework will be expanded into a specific plan proportionate to the potential risks and impacts to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). 2. Objectives of the Consultancy In accordance with WB ESS 5 and national regulations, the objective of the RAP implementation is to ensure that those whose livelihoods and property are affected by the sub-project are compensated for their losses, and their standard of living improved, or at least restored to pre-project levels for sustenance of livelihoods. More specifically the RAP implementation seeks to: • Review the project’s Resettlement Policy Framework and Stakeholder Engagement Plan. • Reduce the risks of poverty, exclusion, and inequitable access to benefits especially for the vulnerable and marginalized individuals and groups such as women, single-headed-households, elderly, children, etc. • Ensure the sub-project is socially acceptable to maintain credibility of WACA PIU and the WB. The RAP will identify the project-affected persons (PAPs), engage them in inclusive, accessible, and participatory discussions regarding the plan, and formulating a plan of action to adequately compensate people or entities for their losses, and restriction of uses. Scope of Work The scope of requirements and level of detail of the resettlement plan will vary with the magnitude and complexity of resettlement. The consultant will prepare the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) based on the most recent and accurate information on the: (i) selected project interventions and the potential impacts on economic displacement, restriction of access and other adversely affected components; and (ii) legal issues affecting physical resettlement. The RAP must be based on the principles, planning procedures and implementation arrangements established under the WACAResIP 2 Resettlement Policy Framework.
