Household members (often an extended family, but not necessarily restricted to family members) live off a common base (land owned and/or used by the household or its members) and/or contribute to the livelihood of all household members. Household A household is the economic unit for resettlement and compensation issues. Involuntary resettlement means any direct economic and social impact caused Involuntary by the involuntary taking of land, resulting in (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) Resettlement loss of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not such persons must move to another location. 3 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant 1. Introduction 1.1 Objective This report is prepared according to the agreement between LLC1 ‘Baker Tilly Tajikistan’ and State enterprise ‘Directorate of the Flooding Zone of Rogun HPP’. The main objective of the audit is to assess whether resettlement was carried out in accordance with the Resettlement Policy Framework, Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), and international good practice standards (including core principles of the World Bank’s operational policy on Involuntary Resettlement OP 4.12). The audit also aims to assess (a) the resettlement activities (including livelihood assistance) at the household level; (b) compensation payments to the project-affected persons (PAPs) of the first phase (that is, vicinity of the dam) of the Rogun Hydro Power Plant (HPP) project; and (c) the livelihood restoration (LR) status of households (LR is a form of assistance which aims to restore to pre-displacement levels or, where possible, improve the livelihood of resettled people). It should also be noted that the Open Joint Stock Holding Company ‘Barki Tojik’ conducted an intermediate audit of resettlements at the household level in December 2014. The main findings of the audit suggest that the resettlement process was partially completed with 163 households (56 percent) being resettled to the new sites as of 2014, and for the remaining 126 households (44 percent) the process was planned to be completed by 2015, but due to delays the resettlement was fully completed only in the summer of 2017. The audit was conducted in several phases. During the first phase, the following procedures were carried out: • Audit at the household level • Audit at the family level • Analysis of the suitability of the conditions and means of residence in the resettlement areas of the stage I settlers • Audit of payment of compensation for the cost of housing in accordance with the technical passport of the household (TPH), as well as audit of one-time assistance • Audit of the state of provision of land plots (land to land, house to house) for stage I settlers of flood zone of the Rogun HPP • Audit and analysis of indicators of the provision and accessibility of educational institutions, health care, water, and electricity (utilities) During stage II, we have studied the correctness of the preparation of financial and social reports through selective inspections, inventory, testing, and confirmation from the third-party witness nongovernmental organization (NGO) selected to monitor the compensation and resettlement process to ensure that the RAP was implemented properly. The audit at the household level of the first phase of the flood zone of the Rogun HPP covers seven villages (Kishrog, Mirog, Sech, Talkhakchashma, Tagi Kamar, Tagi Agba of Rogun and Chorsada village of Nurabad district). This report also mentions data related to 14 households from Aligalaboni (located in the reservoir of the dam), which were resettled at the time when 1 LLC = Limited Liabilities Company 4 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant PAPs from Chorsada were being resettled to Rudaki. These 14 HHs requested to be resettled along with Chorsada PAPs to maintain family connections. Chorsada and Aligalaboni HHs chose to be resettled to Rudaki, given its proximity to Dushanbe (the capital of Tajikistan). To determine correct compensation gaps and any necessary outstanding mitigation measures, the survey of each household was conducted; all 289 households that were affected in the vicinity of the dam. A full survey was also conducted to examine the payments made. 1.2 Assignments The resettlement audit (RA) at the household level applied to the households of the first phase of the flooding area of the Rogun HPP. (Kishrog, Mirog, Sech, Talkhakchashma, Tagi Kamar, Tagi Agba of Rogun city and Chorsada village of Nurabad district). The RA included the following households: • Households covered by the RAP prepared for the resettlement activities in the vicinity of the Rogun HPP • Households that received full compensation payments • Households that completed the resettlement process Within the AHL the following interrelated tasks were performed: 1. Preparation of the list of all households that received financial compensation payments and which completed the resettlement process in stage I. 2. Realization of a full review of the compensation paid to affected people to provide detailed information about how the payment was made and the extent to which they met the applicable requirements of the Republic of Tajikistan (RT), as well as international standards (the World Bank’s Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement [OP 4.12]). The benefit matrix is integral part of the Resettlement Action Plan . 3. Conducting of a detailed survey of affected households, to supplement information collected from ongoing consultations with affected persons, by identify specific problems, compensatory gaps, or typical problems faced by replaced persons. 4. Conducting of explanatory works with the heads of the HH on methods of allocating land for the construction of new houses. 5. Conducting of informational conversations about the possibility of obtaining a preferential interest-free loan through the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment of the RT, with refunding of only 50 percent of the total amount. 6. Nearly all women in original villages did not work outside of the household, while males participated in a variety of employment activities. A determination was made of the number of females in each household to gather information about preferred special education for improving livelihood opportunities. As women were unemployed outside of the household, a focus on improving women’s employment opportunities would contribute to improvement in household livelihood and standard of living above and beyond current improvements. The Resettlement Unit (RU) regularly provides material and financial assistance to the disabled resettled people of the Rogun HPP flood zone. In addition, the local authorities of towns and districts, local self-governments (jamoat dehots) of the new places of residence, and domestic 5 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant entrepreneurs provide material and financial assistance to the disabled people on the eve of public celebrations and holidays. 2. Project 2.1 Project overview The proposed Rogun HPP is located approximately 110 km from Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. The project is located on the Vakhsh River, which merges with the Pyanj River to form the Amu Darya River. The selected dam site is in a narrow gorge with steep flanks, approximately 6.5 km from Rogun town and 70 km upstream of the Nurek Dam. The Rogun dam site is located in the Rasht region which has seven districts: Fayzabad, Rogun, Rasht, Tavildara, Tojikobod and Jirgital. 2.2 History of the project and current situation The Rogun HPP was first conceived in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the regional development of what are now several independent states. The original purpose of the Rogun project has evolved from supporting regional irrigation and hydropower generation, to the present plan, which calls for Rogun to serve as a multipurpose project providing power, flow regulation, flood control, and sediment retention. Construction of the Rogun HPP began in 1982 and was interrupted in 1993 after a dam failure, in addition to the hard economic and political situation of the RT at that time. Construction restarted in 2008, but since 2012 only care and maintenance activities have been carried out pending finalization of the technical, economic, environmental, and social studies. The original design for the Rogun HPP comprised the following key components: • A 335 m high embankment dam with a clay core and a crest at elevation 1,300 masl2 • An underground power house (installed capacity per the original design: 3,600 MW) and transformer units, with associated diversion tunnels The Directorate of the Flooding Zone of Rogun HPP, herein referred to as the RU, is responsible for the design, implementation, and monitoring of the resettlement activities of the Rogun HPP in coordination with other government ministries and agencies. 2.3 Audit zones of stage I of Rogun HPP flood zone Stage I of resettlement covers seven villages located in the area of dam and HPP building construction. Resettlement of the seven villages is as follows: • Six villages (Kishrog, Mirog, Tagi Agba, Talkhakchashma, Tagi Kamar, and Sech), located in ‘risk zone’, in the vicinity of the Rogun dam construction area; two of them (Kishrog and Mirog) downstream of the dam, the remaining four along the dam, and • One village (Chorsada), located 12 km upstream of the dam, outside the construction area, but at an elevation of 1100 masl, which is the only village in the project area which would be submerged in stage I of reservoir filling, when the reservoir would reach a level of 1100 masl. 2 masl = meters above sea level. 6 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Figure 1.

Methodology 3.1 Collection and analysis of data The collected data include lists of numbers of resettled households, improvements in access to public services, improvements in education and health, and payment of compensation funds from branches of the State Bank of Tajikistan ‘Amonatbonk’ in districts and cities, as of March 1, 2018, covering entitlement obligations listed in the RAP. These obligations include compensation for land at replacement value (house plot, agriculture, pasture, and hay), houses, structures, crops, and trees (fruit and other), as well as replacement of community assets. The stock count of all households that received compensation payments and completed or plan to complete the resettlement process in stage I was drawn up using the following information: • List of all households which are under the project’s stage I influence and their resettlement status • Level of financial compensation paid in each village and household • Analytical review of information provided from affected households; also based on review the list of stock counted households created 3.2 Collection and analysis of primary data A socioeconomic survey of all the resettled households was carried out. In this case, we have compiled and generated four types of questionnaires: 1. Questionnaire for heads of households (men and women); 7 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant 2. Questionnaire for female migrants with a view to attracting them to work to determine training needs, and requests, to provide livelihood opportunities targeted toward women; 3. Questionnaire for the analysis of the condition of residential buildings, livelihoods, and availability of household appliances3; 4. Data collected from monthly reporting of RU officers. The questionnaire covers the following areas: 1. Assessment of quality of construction of newly built houses 2. Status of public services and essential livelihood infrastructure (that is, access to water, electricity, public roads, and so on) 3. Compensation package for HH 4. Transport 5. HH income 6. Education 7. Source of income (samples of questionnaire in the Annex) Method of collecting answers to questionnaires. Survey questionnaires were hand delivered to each household by the survey team. In most cases, the surveys were handed to senior family members. When they were not available other household members provided answers to the survey questionnaire. No postal delivery services were used. 4. Results 4.1 Households that are affected by the activities of Stage I of resettlement and their status as of March 1, 2018. According to the data provided by the RU, it follows that in 2017 the resettlement process has been completed. A total of 289 households were moved to new places of residence, which indicates the completion of 100 percent resettlement of households (data are presented in Figure 4). Table 1 shows the distribution of HH in villages affected by stage I of resettlement. Table 1.

Affected communities in Nurobod Figure 3. Affected communities in Rogun The resettlement from the villages influenced by the project to the villages of arrival is schematically reflected in Figure 4. Each household was given a choice of the place of resettlement. The resettlement sites were confirmed during the audit by 97 percent of the affected households. The remaining 3 percent of households did not answer the questionnaire (due to various reasons such as migration and so on). Of the respondents, households stated that they had received information about the places of settlement. Households were provided with sufficient information on the range of options of resettlement sites, including livelihood options and availability of pasture land and hay land at resettlement sites, to allow families to make an informed choice on where they would like to resettle. Figure 4. Scheme of the place influenced by the project and place of arrival of resettled persons of stage 1 4.1.1 Status of compensation payments and their progress in the process of resettlement As confirmed in the audit, all 289 households fully received compensation payments equal to the replacement value of lost assets. According to surveys and reporting from local RU staff, no households were deemed to be worse off as a result of the resettlement. In accordance with the procedure established by law, settlement accounts were opened for each head of HH in the State Savings Bank of Tajikistan ‘Amonatbank’ in the cities and districts where the compensation funds were transferred to their accounts. According to their deposit passbook, 9 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant settlers received their compensation for loss of property and assets. As evidence for this, Resettlement unit has an act of reconciliation of the compensation funds received by the settlers, where such act of reconciliation was issued by the State Savings Bank of Tajikistan ‘Amonatbank’. The status of the construction of the main HH housing areas controlled by the RU, with assistance from jamoats and districts, is directly related to the payment made from the compensation package allocated to each HH. Thus, the status of payment according to the RU gives an indirect assessment of the status of resettlement of each HH. The RU, jamoats, and districts, ensured that HHs constructed replacement homes to ensure no one was left worse off than before resettlement. Newly constructed and operational schools now serve as venues for high quality training facilities, and auditoriums are venues to conduct community gatherings. Table 2.

As evidence for this, Resettlement unit has an act of reconciliation of the compensation funds received by the settlers, where such act of reconciliation was issued by the State Savings Bank of Tajikistan ‘Amonatbank’. 4.2 Compensation fee, stage I Box 1 provides extracts from the Constitution, Civil Code (CC) and Land Code (LC) of the RT about the right of each citizen to private property and guaranty of compensation in the case of involuntary resettlement. They are summarized here while keeping in perspective that the 10 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant requirements of OP 4.12 and the RAP apply as well (including one of its main principles on replacement cost standard). Box 1. Constitution (Basic Law) of the RT Article 32 “Everyone has the right to property and inheritance. No one has the right to deprive [a citizen of] and limit the citizen's right to property. The confiscation of private property by the State for public needs is permitted only on the basis of law and with the consent of the owner with the full compensation of its value. Material and moral damage inflicted on a person as a result of illegal actions by State organs, social associations, political parties, or individuals are compensated in accordance with the law at their expense”. Article 13 “the land, its resources, water, airspace, fauna and flora, and other natural resources are exclusively the property of the State, and the State guarantees their effective use in the interests of the people”. Land Code and Civil Code Compensation for land withdrawal and other impacts due to public interest projects are regulated by the LC, the CC, and various normative-legal acts, which govern land withdrawal and land allotment and affects compensation to the citizens. The withdrawal/allotment of lands and resettlement is based on the principles of compensation for losses incurred by land users or users of other registered rights connected to land when the land plot is withdrawn for state and public need.

Data on the compensation process and the level of support provided by the project for HHs affected by suffering in stage 1 of resettlement was collected in cooperation with the RU (including primary and secondary data). Support included but was not limited to support waiving of all land certification fees, replacement of pasture and hay land, provision of 12 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant agricultural land for those requesting agricultural land replacement, free transport of all assets and salvaged materials, and relocation of graves. Particular attention was focused on the following points: • Compensation for lost housing and related losses of assets, including trees • Exchange land for land Houses were valued at market price, calculated at the price for constructing a new house, including costs of material, labor, and transportation of materials, which meets the the World Bank standard of compensation at replacement cost. Replacement of agricultural and pasture land was made as required, equivalent to land taken and acceptable to the PAP. In accordance with the legislation of the RT for the construction of houses and other buildings, land was allocated in the following areas: • Teppai Samarkandi and Moinkach in the districts of Rudaki, 0.1 ha each family (260 land parcels = 26 hectares). • Toichi 1, 2, the city of Tursunzade, 0.08 ha to each family (120 land parcels= 9.6 ha) • Yoli Garmoba and Saidoni Nav, 0.08 ha (Yoli Garmoba - 64 land parcels = 5.12 ha; Saidoni Nav - 58 land parcels = 4.64 ha). Most HHs received a plot of land equal to or greater than their original plot. As families chose relocation sites, families were made aware of the size of plots available at new sites. If a HH’s plot was less than the original, additional compensation was provided. Between 2009 and 2011, five options (Tursunzade, Rudaki, Yoli Garmoba, Saidoni Nav, and Chormakhzak) for resettlement areas were presented to affected households. Before relocation, the RU arranged for PAP representatives, community leaders, and local authorities to participate in site visits to all five relocation options. These representatives reported their findings back to the community as a whole. Households were informed as to the nature of rural and peri-urban conditions of each site. These options were consulted on within households. All of the affected households chose to be relocated to one of these four options - Tursunzade, Rudaki, Yoli Garmoba, and Saidoni Nav. No household chose to relocate to Chormakhzak due to its location in the higher altitude areas which have longer, more severe winters, and poor soil conditions. Compensation consisted of valuation and/or replacement of the lost asset and included: • Houses valued at market price, calculated at the price for constructing a new house, including costs of material, labor, and transportation of materials, which meets the World Bank standard of compensation at replacement cost. • Replacement agricultural and pasture land, as required, equivalent to land taken and acceptable to the PAP. • Most HH received plot of land equal to or greater than original plot. As families chose relocation sites, families were made aware of the size of plots available at new sites. If a HH’s plot was less than the original, additional compensation was provided. Therefore, 46 ha was allocated for the construction of houses in stage I of the resettlement. 13 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Construction of living houses and subsidiary farms The RU prepared master plans for new resettlement sites, which were then agreed with local government authorities. Once the RU had secured acquisition of land from local government authorities, the RU could then propose relocation options from which the affected HHs could choose. Figure 5. General plan of the Teppai Samarkandi village of Rudaki district Settlers built houses in accordance with the norms and rules of urban development (the designs of apartment houses were developed by architects of cities and districts). HHs were responsible for securing the services of contractor of their choice. Compensation for replacement of households included costs of material, labor, and transportation of materials. Upon request, the RU, with assistance from jamoats, provided assistance in securing services of contractors for building replacement homes and monitored progress to ensure completion of replacement houses. Figure 6. Figure 7. It should be noted that in the compilation of lists of resettlers HHs from the village of Chorsada (147 HHs) and Aligalaboni (14 HHs)5 of the Nurabad district in 2008—a total of 161 HHs— 5 Although Aligalaboni is not located in the vicinity of the dam, 14 HHs from the location were resettled at the same time as HHs from Chorsada were being resettled. These 14 HHs chose to be resettled to Rudaki given its proximity to Dushanbe (capital of Tajikistan), as well as to maintain the family connections with the households from Chorsada. 14 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant were recorded as owning land, and the RU prepared passports for residential buildings. When allocating land plots, 260 land plots were allocated to the heads of households and their families (according to the legislation of the RT) from the village of Chorsada and Aligalaboni poyon. Thus, 99 families that previously lived together with their relatives (parents, siblings, and so on) were able to receive separate land plots. Note that the village of Aligalaboni poyon is not included in stage I of the flood zone of Rogun HPP. Such a tool for accounting for HHs and allocation of land plots was applied in all new resettlement areas (see Table 4). Table 4.

As shown in Table 5, in new sites, 258 houses were built in compliance with necessary documents from architects of the Rudaki district, as well as with all building codes and regulations of Tepai Samarkandi and Mohinkaj of Rudaki region. A total of 73 houses were built of bricks, 7 houses were constructed with cement, 124 houses have basements, and 18 houses are one or more story while the remaining 240 houses are one-story with reinforced concrete foundation. Thus, in new places of resettlement, compared to the old sites, 76 more houses were constructed for newly formed families, therefore benefitting the households that have been resettled. The total area living in these settlements is 18,580 m2, coming to more than 16 m2 per person, twice as much as in the old places of living. Table 7.

As shown in Table 7, 96 houses were built on the basis of the relevant documentation issued by the architects of Rogun town, in compliance with all building codes and regulations and in accordance with the general plan of the village of Saidoni Nav in Rogun. Of the constructed houses, 6 were built from bricks, 6 from cement, 17 have a basement, 5 have more than one floor while the remaining 91 are single-story, and all houses of this village have a reinforced concrete foundation. Thus, comparing the new places of resettlement to the old places of living, 44 more houses were built in the new living sites. The total area of living in these settlements is 6,680 m2, with more than 19.31 m2 per person, twice as much as in the old places of living. 19 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Table 9.

In the new sites of living, as shown in Table9, only 121 houses were built on the basis of the relevant documentation issued by the architects of Tursunzade town, in compliance with all building codes and regulations and in accordance with the general plan of the village of Toichi. Of the constructed houses, 15 were built from bricks, 7 from cement, 42 have a basement, 2 houses are two-story buildings and the remaining 119 are single story, and all houses of this village have a reinforced concrete foundation. Thus, comparing the new places of resettlement to the old places of living, 62 more houses were built in the new sites of living. The total area of living in these settlements is 7,785 m2, with more than 14.86 m2 per person, twice as much as in the old places of living. Table 11.

As shown in Table 11, 64 houses were built on the basis of the relevant documentation issued by the architects of Rogun town, in compliance with all building codes and regulations and in accordance with the general plan of the village of Yoli Garmoba in Rogun. Of the constructed houses, 57 were built from bricks, 2 from cement, 25 have a basement, 3 houses have more than one floor and the remaining 61 are single-story, and all houses of this village have a reinforced concrete foundation. Thus, comparing the new places of resettlement to the old ones, 30 houses more were built in the new sites of living. The total area of living in these settlements is 4,770m2, with more than 15.09 m2 per person, twice as much as in the old places of living. 22 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant In the new living sites only 539 houses were built on the basis of the relevant documentation issued by the architects of Tursunzade town, in compliance with all building codes and regulations and in accordance with the general plan of the village. Of the constructed houses, 151 were built from bricks, 45 from cement, 208 have a basement, 28 houses are two-story buildings and the remaining are single-story, and all houses of this village have a reinforced concrete foundation. Thus, comparing the new places of resettlement to the old places of living, 212 more houses were built in the new sites of living. According to Part I of Article 36 of the Housing Code of the RT, a living accommodation must provide 12 m2 per person. New houses, in both rural and urban locations, exceeded constitutional requirements of the minimum of 12 m2 per person. When analyzing the accounting for the construction of residential buildings in new locations, the following area per person was revealed in the villages: Saidoni Nav - 19.31 m2; Yoli Garmoba - 15.09 m2; Rudaki district - 15 m2; Tursunzade - 14.86 m2. These values meet international and local housing requirements. In the old places of residence this indicator was as follows: Kishrog and Mirog - 3.98 m2; Sech - 8 m2; Tagi Agba - 11.55 m2; Tagi Kamar - 8.95 m2; Talkhakchashma - 8 m2; Rogun city and in the village of Chorsada in the Nurabad district - 8 m2. As shown from the analysis, the indicator of housing area for each member of the family have improved significantly. Compensation provided for replacement of homes of size equal to the original home, as well as associated costs. Some PAPs made the choice to build houses larger than their original houses with HHs choosing to cover additional cost for construction of the larger home. Conditions of infrastructure in the resettlement villages In new resettlement areas, social and economic infrastructures were built, for example, water supply, health centers, schools, shops, roads and pedestrian paths, and power lines. The list of constructed facilities at new places of resettlement is shown in Table 6. 23 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Figure 9 Table 13.

All households had access to electricity before relocation; however, there were availability limitations throughout all of Tajikistan and not limited to the Rogun HPP region. Limitations were lifted in 2017. All relocated households, as well as all of Tajikistan, now have access to electricity without limitations. 1. The village of Chorsada of Nurobod District There was one school in this village for 200 pupils; the walls were made of clay and without a foundation; basically in that school only children from that village studied and it was partially attended by children from the nearest villages located at a distance from 5 km to 15 km. The water supply in Chorsada village was both for drinking and agricultural needs and was used from the Vakhsh River, by irrigation canals and partially used springs that were located below the village (without chlorination and filtration). The central water supply or the group water supply networks were absent. In new sites, there is access to water in each household. In total 23,986 m of water pipes were installed in the new sites (expense equaled 4.2 million somoni). In Rudaki, as per the wish of resettled households, a Water Users Association was established, which oversees maintenance and other water-related issues. This association estimates that the households will be responsible for around 10 somoni for water regardless of consumption (that is, this is a fixed rate for water). Although there is no Water User Association in other new settlements, local utility organizations are responsible for ensuring access to water. Payment for water is also around 0.9 somoni (US$0.10) per month per HH. 0.9 somoni pays for around 1,000 liters of water. So far, each household has been paying 10 somoni or less per month depending on the usage. Although this is not a fixed rate, as in Rudaki, paying the water utility bill is generally considered to be very affordable for HHs. In previous locations, electricity was provided with time limitations especially during the winter period. 2. Aligalaboni village The village of Aligalaboni, which was not included in stage I of the flooding zone, by mutual consent, due to the fact that they had family ties with the residents of the village of Chorsada of the Nurabad district, were also resettled in Teppai Samarkandi district of Rudaki. In total, there were 14 households in the village. There was no school and medical center in that village. The children went to the school of Aligalaboni bolo village distance (3 km), (till class 9). After finishing class 9, the children went to the village of Chorsada, at a distance of 10 km, to continue their studies. 25 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant The visiting medical team from the district center of the village of Komsomolabad (20—26 km) served this village twice a week. Access to power supply was for temporary periods of time, and there was a lack of electricity during the winter period. 3. Tagi kamar village, Tagi Agba, Sech, Talkhakchashma, and Kishrog and Mirog towns of Rogun The only school was in the village of Tagi Kamar for 180 pupils, with clay walls and without foundation, and was attended by the children from this village, from the village of Talkhakchamsha (after primary school) (5 km), from the village of Tagi Agba (6 km), from the villages of Kishrog and Mirog (15 km), and from the village of Sech (1.5 km). It should be emphasized that in the winter time, it was extremely difficult for students to get to school, as evidenced by the analysis of education of the inhabitants of these villages, where only 3 percent had higher education and about 10 percent had secondary education; the others (female part of the population) basically had primary education. (See page 38: education). Access to power supply was for temporary periods of time, and there was a lack of electricity during the winter period. Water supply in these villages, for drinking and agricultural needs, was only by springs, by means of temporary irrigation canals (without chlorination and filtration) and plastic pipes from a distance of 1.5–2.0 km. The central water supply or the group water supply networks were absent. Construction of facilities in new places of resettlement 1. Teppai Samarkandi village, Rudaki district There are resettled settlers from Chorsada and Aligalaboni poyon villages, Nurobod district. In this village a school is built in Teppai Samarkandi for 640 pupils and one school for 320 pupils in the village of Mohinkaj with all the requirements of the latest technology and meeting world standards (that is, schools of high quality construction with laboratories, science rooms, computer rooms, libraries, auditoriums, gymnasium, training facilities, sewing class rooms, kitchens, and toilet facilities) where the maximum distance from home to school is 300 m. These schools attract specialists and teachers from higher education levels and the district center and the city of Dushanbe. In total 100 teachers work in these new schools, and 46 of them are from communities that have been resettled. The directors/principals of the schools are all from resettled communities to ensure better integration of children. Some teachers are also from Dushanbe. All teachers employed in the new schools hold university degrees. As the facilities of the schools (including equipped classrooms) are of international standards, teachers are generally attracted to work in these modern environments. All teachers have requested employment in new schools and none were administratively reassigned. Two medical centers were built in the villages (in Teppai Samarkandi and Mohinkaj) with capacity of 25 visitors in each. The central line of water supply was constructed with observance of all sanitary and ecological norms for the village of Teppai Samarkandi and the village of Mohinkaj, for which the source is artesian wells (for more details see Table 8). Lines of water supply networks are connected to all the houses of the village. 26 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant In the same settlements, external roads were built and asphalted—internal and pedestrian paths with tray cuvettes, and in comparison with previous places of residence all available roads were gravel-soil. In the settlements, external and internal power lines were built and connected to all HHs. Both water and electricity access provisions were completely paid for by the government. 2. Toichi village, Tursunzade town In this settlement, settlers relocated from the villages of Tagi Kamar, Tagi Agba, Talkhakchashma, Sech, and partly from the villages of Kishrog and Mirog, of Rogun town. In this village, a school was built in Toichi No. 1 for 1,176 pupils with all the requirements of the latest technology and world standards, where the maximum distance from home to school is up to 300 m. This school attracts specialists and teachers with higher education levels from the city center of Tursunzade. In the village, a medical center was built with a capacity for 25 patient visits. The central line of water supply was constructed in compliance with all sanitary and ecological norms for the village, for which the source is artesian wells (for more details see Table 13). Lines of water supply networks are connected to all the houses of the village. For the cultivation of agricultural crops and homestead plots, irrigation water is supplied with the help of chute nets. Also, in the village, external and internal roads and pedestrian paths with tray cuvettes were built and asphalted, and in comparison with previous places of residence all available roads were gravel-soil. In the village, external and internal power lines were built and connected to all HHs. 3. Yoli Garmoba and Saidoni nav, Rogun town. In the settlement of Yoli Garmoba, settlers mostly resettled from the villages of Kishrog and Mirog, and in the village of Saidoni bolo the settlers were from the village of Tagi Kamar, Tagi Agba and from the village of Saidon, which is below this village (and not in stage I of resettlement). In these settlements, two schools were built for 320 pupils, with all the requirements of the latest technology and world standards, where the maximum distance from home to school is up to 300 m. These schools attract specialists and teachers with higher education levels from the village of Obi Garm and Rogun city. Two medical centers were built in the villages (in Yoli Garmoba and Saidoni bolo) with a capacity of 25 patient visits each. In the village of Yoli Garmoba, a central water supply line was built in compliance with all sanitary and ecological norms. In the village of Saidoni Nav, a hood construction was built (water intake), and a water supply line was also built at a distance of 1.3 km from the spring, which was used for supply of drinking water and irrigation of household plots. (for more details, see Table 8. In these villages, water supply networks were connected to all the houses in the village. 27 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant In the same settlements, external roads were built and asphalted—internal and pedestrian paths with tray cuvettes, and in comparison with previous places of residence all available roads were gravel-soil. Part of the road works, it is at the stage of completion. In the settlements, external and internal power lines were built and connected to all HHs. In all new constructed villages a Water User Association was formed by settlers themselves, where monthly fees, according to the current regulations, is paid for maintenance of water supply networks, with the support of local authorities. Also, in early 2017, all restrictions on the use of electricity were lifted in the entire territory of the RT under the decree of the President of the RT. This has led to an improvement in the standard of living of the population. For example, in old places of residence by settlers, the use of a refrigerator accounted for by 8 percent of the population; in new sites it is more than 72 percent. (see the Table № 18 of the account of home appliances) It should be noted that in new places of residence all children are attracted to education, and progress is being made in attracting female pupils, because in the old places of resettlement due to various problems (remoteness of schools, material conditions, and so on) they fall behind in studies. Provision of transport Provision of transportation services for the resettlement of households was carried out directly under the direction of the RU, with assistance from jamoats. The transport service was provided directly to meet the needs of households. A total of 1,295 journeys were made, amounting to more than 4.01 million somoni for transport services. (See Table 15.) Notably, all 289 HHs received cash compensation at replacement value. Moreover, additional assistance was provided to expedite the resettlement process. Table 14 shows some information on the additional assistance received by HHs (in addition to cash compensation and new land allocation at replacement cost). Table 14.

On the part of the RU, 700 graves were reburied to higher places (above 1,290 m), in accordance with religious and sanitary requirements, taking into account all the requirements of sanitary and environmental standards. Figure 10. Moving of graves After the resettlement of the villages from the RU side was completed, the old places of the villages were rendered harmless in accordance with all the requirements of sanitary- epidemiological and environmental standards 29 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Figure 11. Securing vacant villages 4.2.1 Cash compensation and TPH Under the contract between the RU and the Interregional Bureau of Technical Inventory (IBTI) of the resettled villages and towns, technical passports were prepared for each HH. In addition, according to the agreement between the RU and the state unitary enterprise ‘Narkhguzor’, the TPHs estimated at market value 6 the compensation amount for each household under the influence of stage I of resettlement. Estimates of the value of houses and other household buildings of settlers at the prior places of living in accordance with the prepared technical passports from the IBTI of districts and cities were estimated by the state unitary enterprise ‘Narkhguzor’ of the State Investment Committee and the management of the state property of the RT at current prices. Valuation was carried out in accordance with the RAP, meeting a replacement cost standard. Once the household agreed to the compensation amount which met the replacement value, a final document was signed. Each HH was issued a technical passport that documents ownership rights, as well as confirms consent of HHs to the compensation offered. 6 Houses valued at market price calculated at price for constructing a new house, including costs of material, labor, and transporting materials which meets World Bank standard of compensation at replacement cost. 30 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Figure 12. Sample of the Technical Passport of Household 31 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant 32 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant During the analysis of 289 TPHs it was revealed that their preparation was completed between 2009 and 2014. The list of properties and associated cash costs are included in each TPH. Compensation for lost housing covers payments for the relevant assets, including from fruit bearing trees. Houses and structures are valued at market value at the time of loss, including labor costs. With participation of jamoat representatives, the state unitary enterprise (price valuation enterprise under the State Investment Committee) is mandated by the government to carry out the valuation. Under its charter, it is also responsible for monitoring the market value of construction materials and immovable properties. The Intra-district Technical Inventory Office then develops a TPH, which reflects owner’s information and his/her agreement. The RU also receives necessary documents determining the final compensation price and ensures that it meets the replacement cost. All compensation covered the replacement of assets, that is, met the replacement cost standard. The increase in the size of new houses was strictly a voluntary choice. Figure 13. Sample of the valuation table 33 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant 4.2.1.1 Management of compensation According to the World Bank Operational Policy all resettled persons in the following categories are considered to determine eligibility for compensation: • Persons who have official legal rights to land plots, including rights based on customs and traditions, which are imposed by law • Persons who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time of the census, but claim their rights to such plots or property, provided that such claims are recognized by the legislation of the country • Persons who do not have legal rights and claims with respect to their land plots that are subject to recognition According to the presented data, all the heads of HH received compensation in accordance with the World Bank policy. In the places of new settlement, the land plots were allotted to each HH, as well as each family within the HH. Monetary compensation was paid for lost assets to the owner of the lost assets (typically, a head of HH), Thus, in some instances, the families which had no assets before relocation and were allocated lands after relocation are continuing to work toward building new homes. The land allocation is an added benefit to families within individual HHs who previously did not have access to land plots. The RU is responsible for monitoring the construction work of each household and family. (Table 4). 4.2.1.2 Payment process With regard to the cash payment system, for the amounts in the TPH, each head of HH is given access to the deposit. To ensure cash compensation went toward replacement of assets and to provide better contract management and budgeting, compensation payments were made in four tranches: 30 percent, 30 percent, 30 percent, and 10 percent. Each HH had access to the next payment tranche, once RU monitoring of construction works confirmed progress in construction of the main HH premises. The last tranche of 10 percent was paid when the construction of the house was completed and the HH was ready for resettlement. The system of monitoring the progress of construction is designed to reduce the risk of non-targeted use of compensation allocated for construction to ensure replacement of assets, as per the resettlement objective. The right to own a new house is given in the case of demolition of the old house. This mitigating measure will avoid attempts to sell or lease a compensated asset during initial phases of relocation to ensure no household is left homeless. Once the asset has been officially handed over to an affected household, they can make choices for maintaining their homes. 4.2.1.3 Loan and one-time payments The Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment of the RT provides loans to each family to a total of 3,000 somoni. The request for such benefit can be considered as one of the options. In the event that this loan is requested, there is no obligation to pay 50 percent of the amount received, and the remaining part (50 percent) must be returned without interest. A one-time benefit also provided amounts to 100 somoni per HH and 50 somoni for each family member, without any obligation to repay the amount received. 34 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Survey data showed that 99 percent of households interviewed received such loans and benefits, as an additional example of assistance provided above and beyond replacement compensation for affected and lost assets.

Benefits and Participation 5.1.1 Services in rural settlements In resettlement sites, there was an improvement in the provision of services in comparison with the places of origin of immigrants. Health services, schools, access to electricity, and availability of drinking water was positively assessed by the majority of households surveyed compared to previous conditions. Visiting the localities confirmed that there is a progressive advance in several new resettlement sites. It was also noted that in former places of residence there were no medical centers. All intra-settlement roads and access roads were mostly gravel- soil. Several secondary schools, including in the villages of Sech, Tagi Agba, Tagi Kamar, Talkhakchashma, Kishrog, and Mirog, had only one secondary general school (up to grade 10) (see Table 17).

In addition, additional assistance is provided in the form of building materials, for example, cement, sand, gravel, and crushed stone, as well as food aid in the form of food products. (presented earlier in Table 14). The survey aimed to clarify the construction of new residential buildings, the level of education, and sources of income and employment among the population, in particular with the female part of the population of immigrants, and was conducted with all heads of households. According to the analysis, 28 percent of the population is earning a living through wages, about 20 percent through small and medium-sized businesses, 45 percent through seasonal overseas labor migration, 2 percent through seasonal domestic work, and the remaining 5 percent through other incomes. No impact is expected on livelihoods for households that relocated within their existing district. During project implementation and relocation, no impact was expected on livelihoods for households that relocated within their existing district. Before resettlement, households often utilized land around their houses for subsistence farming, with some households using additional land for farming. Most households kept livestock in pasture land that was widely available. After resettlement, pasture land is readily available in the rural communities and therefore those who relocated within Saidoni Nav and Yoli Garmoba will not experience negative changes to livelihood. Good agricultural land is being made available for those who relocated to the peri-urban areas of Tursunzade and Rudaki, which includes an existing irrigation system. The peri-urban areas, however, have less pasture land available. Over 40 percent of affected adults, mostly men, have sought training in new farming techniques. Additionally, those moving from rural to peri-urban areas considered this an opportunity to no longer work in agriculture, expecting that peri-urban areas will offer better employment opportunities, and provide better opportunities in the future for their children. A total of 180 women, who had previously only worked within the household, are now involved in social work, small businesses, crop production, and seasonal work outside of the household. Before resettlement, households often utilized land around their houses for subsistence farming, with some households using additional land for farming. Most households kept livestock in pasture land that was widely available. After resettlement, pasture land is readily available in the rural communities and therefore those who relocated within Saidoni Nav and Yoli Garmoba will not experience negative changes to livelihood. The desire to create a dehkan farm is an indication of household planning and was not affected by resettlement. Households, following national procedures, place a request for land with the government which then allocates plots as they become available. 36 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Figure 14.

Reliable supply of and access to electricity has allowed households to no longer rely on alternate fuel sources such as wood, which was often scarce in previous locations (in more detail in Table 18). 5.1.3 Education More than half of all respondents in the census (60 percent) reported completing secondary education, or 9th or 11th grades, and an additional 19 percent have primary education. Only a small number of family members reported that they have higher education, either through vocational education or a degree, and 9 percent of respondents have no formal education at all. 7 Household goods provide an indicator of improved standard of living, as well as improved income levels as households can now afford more luxury goods. 38 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Figure 16: Proximity of schooling facilities at earlier settlements Figure 17. Level of education in resettled households Level of education (289 households) 3% Higher education 10% 9% Secondary general education (up to 11th grade) Secondary education (up to 9th 11% grade) Secondary technical 66% Primary (up to 4th grade) The level of education in the original villages was associated with the remote location of schools, as well as the lack of good specialists and the financial condition of schools. In the town of Rogun, in the villages of Tagi Kamar, Tagi Agba, Sech, Talkhakchashma, Mirog, and Kishrog there was only one secondary school in the village of Tagi Kamar. The average distance from these villages to the school was from 1 km to 15 km. (See Figure 16). In total, there are 901 students in 5 new schools. Of them, 490 are boys, and the remaining 411 are girls. The mechanism for handling complaints and applications The World bank had recommended that resettlement offices be built in the affected areas to assist with the relocation process, serve as a repository of information, provide a local area by 39 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant which to receive beneficiary feedback, and report any grievances. In response, the RU designated resettlement offices, in particular, in Teppai Samarkandi village of Rudaki district, in Toichi village of Tursunzade city and in Rogun town. Offices were staffed by 2 social citizen engagement employees who permanently work in each office, which closely cooperate with settlers and timely solve issues arising from settlers. These employees have medical and pedagogical backgrounds. In offices in the places of resettlement, complaints and applications are registered in special journals. The format of the record is: 1. Name of the applicant 2. Type of complaint of the head of HH 3. Type/topic of complaint (land, construction, and rail) 4. Date of registration 5. Solution Also booklets have been developed, which talk about the frequently occurring issues among the settlers and to whom and how to apply. For example, applications must be filled in and submitted to the local authorities. Training as part of improved livelihood initiatives The RU has continued its training initiatives which will be an ongoing for stage 2 of resettlement. The RU provides PAPs with a list of trainings that can be made available to interested parties. To date, only women have requested training in the field of sewing, embroidery, and handmade crafts. Training courses (sewing skills) were organized by the RU in close cooperation with the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment of the RT in Tursunzade city and Rudaki town for resettled women and girls. As a result, a total of 40 women and girls were engaged in training and received certificates (designer, sewer) upon completion of the course. These training opportunities are an ongoing Rogun initiative allowing additional people to participate in continued future training activities. As of today, of those who were trained, a total of 10 women and girls have permanent jobs in local public sector organizations (schools, medical center, and so on), and another 30 women and girls have home-based jobs with a monthly income ranging from 900 to 1000 somoni, which is equivalent of US$100. In the local context, it is considered good income. These training courses (designing, sewing) were organized again in August 2018 and a total of 20 resettled women and girls attended them. Conclusion 1. All 289 households received funds in full on the receipt of monetary compensation for residential buildings and outbuildings, including payments of credit benefits and assistance. All payments are certified by the State bank of the RT ‘Amonatbank’. 2. All 289 households are fully relocated to new places of residence, including from village Chorsada of Nurabad district to the village of Teppai Samarkandi, Moinkach; from Talkhakchashma, Sech, and Mirog villages to Toichi village of Tursunzade city; 40 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant from the villages of Tagi Kamar and Tagi Agba in the village of New Saidon; and from the villages of Kishrog and Mirog to Yoli Garmoba of Rogun city. No household was forced to move until their replacement house had been completed. In addition, relocated households were allowed to continue using previous plots until all crops had been harvested. 3. All resettled HHs built replacement homes, while families which had no assets prior to relocation, but received land plots as an added benefit, continue to build their homes in new places of residence. 4. In accordance with the approved master plans of new settlements, engineering communication facilities, health centers, as well as educational institutions were built and commissioned. 5. At the request of the World Bank, offices were set up in new resettlement areas and qualified community specialists recruited. 6. Five options for resettlement areas were presented to affected households, however no household chose one option presented. These options were consulted on with households and they were aware which ones were rural and peri-urban. 7. The standard of living in the new resettlement areas has improved much. (see Annex 1: Social Indicators Pre- and Post- Resettlement). 8. The children of the migrants are fully involved in studying, especially girls, as in the old villages because of the remote distance of schools there was no possibility to continue their education. 9. As reported in the survey, women in former places of residence mainly engaged only in housekeeping, and in new places of residence in Tursunzade, more than 180 women were involved in social work, small business, crop production, and seasonal work (harvesting of raw cotton, grapes, and other crops). 10. The Resettlement Unit provided training courses for females who had not received any education (sewing courses). After completing the course, 40 students received certificates and are employed in the formal sector or work out of their homes. 11. It is necessary to support the initiative to involve women in public and seasonal work. Since this significantly positively affects the standard of living and the source of income. 12. Multiple training opportunities are available, but only women have requested training on sewing and handmade craft. 13. Most of the settlers from Chorsada moved to Teppai Samarkandi and Moinkach district of Rudaki, because they are close to the capital, and found sources of income. 14. Audit also found that some of the allocated land is used (about 90 percent) for growing agricultural crops and fruit trees. Of the relocated HHs, 90 percent grow agricultural crops and fruit trees in household gardens adjacent to their newly built homes. As per the legislation mandate, the RU will continue to carry out the activities listed in Table 19. Table 19.

Although the plan was created for resettlement in the vicinity of the dam, the principles and process from this plan will serve as a basis for implementing LR activities in subsequent resettlement phases, which the RU expects to last for a period of 16 years. The RU understands that LR will continue beyond the physical relocation of households and families. 42 Resettlement Audit of the Flooding Zone of Rogun Hydro Power Plant Annex 1.
