EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ethiopian economy has grown quickly. Along with the speedy development of economy, the
power demand also greatly increased.
The Power demand in the future can be supported with reliable and quality supply of
electricity. EEPCo has a mandate to satisfy the future need of the customers by keeping the
balance between satisfying the power need of the society and the remaining with in the
capability of the Environment.
In order to achieve this objectives /responsibilities, EEPCo has to develop a new power
projects and re enforce the existing transmission systems on going base.
Accordingly EEPCO planned additional transmissions for new power developments which
are under construction. One of the planned transmissions line is, Gibe III – Addis Ababa 400
kV Power Transmission Project which link the generated energy from Gibe III Hydro Power
Project to Ethiopian’s National Grid.
GibeIII -Sodo 400 kV transmission line is one section of the Gibe III-Addis Ababa power
transmission project.
The construction of the proposed Gibe III –Sodo 400 kV power line project can create
various potential adverse environmental and social effects such as involuntary displacement,
disruption of livelihoods and impoverishment. To mitigate these adverse impacts, appropriate
mitigation measures required to be applied. RAP is one of the major means of addressing
these impacts in a planned and coordinated manner.
a. Objective of the Resettlement Plan
The objective of the resettlement plan is to provide a plan for resettlement and rehabilitation
of the PAPs so that their losses will be compensated and their standard of living will be
improved or at least restore to the pre project levels. To achieve these objectives the plan
provides the rehabilitation measures so that the income earnings potential of individuals is
restored and sustains their livelihoods.
b. Methodology
Various methods, tools and techniques were adopted to collect data and information required
to prepare the resettlement plan. Both primary and secondary data collected using different
methods.
Public consultation also conducted with the project affected people and communities to
create awareness about the project possible impact and how mitigation measures will be
implemented including compensation payments.
The Field survey conducted by the study team comprises sociologists, engineer, and
surveyor.

A. Brief overview of the Project.
Power is one of the most essential amenities required for acceleration the economic
development .The Ethiopian economy growth for 5 consecutive years. Along with this
economic growth the demand for power also increases. In order to ensure the load in the
future can be supported with reliable and quality supply of electricity, EEPCO has a long
term strategy to support the government in promoting social and economical progress by
promotes the development of electric power generation and transmission.
As part of the strengthening of the national grid, EEPCO has developed serious of high
voltage direct inter regional links. With the growth in installed capacities and power demand,
the existing transmission facilities are required to be strengthened by establishment of 400
kV.
Accordingly EEPCo planned additional transmissions facilities to transmit the generated

power from newly developed hydro powers. One of the planned transmissions is the Gibe III
400kV –Addis Ababa power line transmission line which links the generated energy from
Gibe III hydro power project to Ethiopian National Grid.
The Gibe III-Sodo transmission line is one section of the Gibe III-Addis Ababa. The line will
have two lines of double circuit tower configuration on one of these lines the two circuits will
be stranded while on the other only one circuit will be stranded when Gibe IV is realized.
Project Location and Description
The Gibe III – Sodo 400 kV transmission line project located in Southern Nation
Nationalities Reginal States/SNNRS/ of Wolita Sodo Zone. The line cross three Woredas
namely Sodo zuria , Damote Sore and Kindo Koiysha .
Description of the Project Components
The proposed 400 kV transmission line is to be constructed between the Gibe III hydro
power project and the newly built Sodo Substation. A distance of 65 km. 50 meter wide
Right of Way is required.
Towers
Transmission line conductors are strung on in line suspension tower and bend (strain) towers.
For the proposed 400 kV transmission line between Gibe III hydro power and Sodo
substation, compact cross –rope suspension structure and self supporting towers might be
used. The towers are generally 30-40 meter in height and a total footprint area
Approximately 12 m x 12 m is required the average span between two towers will be 350
m. Approximately about 186 Towers are required for erection.
EEPCo Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) ii

Right of Way /ROW/.
The ROW width for a 400 kV transmission line is 50 m i.e. 25 m either side of the center
line .The ROW is required to ensure the safe construction , maintenance and operation of the
power line .
Any farming activities except commercial trees such as Mango, Avocado tree can be
practiced underneath the power line.
No vegetation will be grown above 8 m under the conductor and also no building will be
constructed under the power line.
The minimum distance of 400 kV transmission line from public road is 95 m from the center
line of the structure to the center of the road.
Foundation
The foundation is influenced by the type of terrain encountered as well as the underlying
geotechnical condition. The actual size and type of foundation to be installed will be
depending on the soil bearing capacity. The area required for construction of the foundation
will be 12 m x12 m. Foundation will be excavated manually and using machines such as
compressor and excavator. All foundation will back filled, stabilized through compaction,
and capped with concrete at ground level.
Stringing
Stringing can be under taken mechanically or by hand - A pilot cable conductor is used
between towers.
Access Roads
Access road is required to allow access along the entire length during construction and
operation /maintenance phase of the transmission line power life cycle. During survey, route
line was designed along the existing road in order to reduce the potential impact associated
with the construction of new road .Existing roads will be used as far as possible where
available. About 6 meters x 0 .456 KM new access road will be constructed where the
existing roads can not be used.
The construction of access roads should be in the manner of avoiding permanent removal of
the existing vegetation. All access point and roads will be negotiated with land owners.
Substation
The project will occupy the construction of a new substation at Sodo Zuria Woreda Warza
Lasho Kebele occupies an area of 25 ha.. The total cost of the construction of substation is
estimated about 9.6 Million Birr.
EEPCo Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) iii

Project Cost
The total cost is estimated for the construction of the project is about 412 Million Birr.
B. Review of Policies, Legal and Institutional Frame Works.
Various policies and legal documents that are relevant with resettlement planning is
reviewed. Some of these documents deal with issues related to land ownership,
expropriation, entitlement, compensation and resettlement issue include;
The Constitution Of The Federal Ethiopia ,Civil code of Ethiopia Environmental Policy of
Ethiopia, Proclamation No 455/2005 on land expropriation of landholdings for public
purpose and payment of compensation and regulation No. 135/ 2007 council of ministers
regulations on the payment of compensation for property situated on land holdings
expropriated for public purposes.
Review of relevant policies and legal frameworks revealed a number of points pertinent to
involuntary resettlement. These legal and institutional frameworks provides a detail
principles and procedures regarding resettlement such as expropriation of land for public
purpose, property valuation, computing compensation rate, compensation payment and
mechanisms for grievance redress.
In addition, there are both national and secotral policies developed to be applicable for all
development projects which entail involuntary displacement. The objective of the policies are
avoid dislocation of people as far as possible, when displacement of people becomes an
avoidable, then the policy principles, institutions, and structure of the government of Ethiopia
provide for the adoption of a wider developmental approach which seek to share the benefit
of the development project with project affected people and local communities. The principle
is that development project at least should not impoverish people by degrading the physical
environment.
In general the national policies, legislation and regulations are all consistent with the World
Banks Operational Policies (OP 4.12) and bank procedure (BP 4.12) on involuntary
resettlement. More over, the national frameworks are also consistent with international
convections, treaties and frameworks which Ethiopia is ratified.
C. Socio Economic Condition of the Project Affected Area
The proposed Gibe III- Sodo 400kV transmission line cross three Woredas namely Sodo
zuria ,Damote Soreand Kindo Koiysha.
About 406,283 people living in the three Woredas .The average family size for all affected
Woreda is 7 which is more than the national averages 4.8. The average population density is
501.93 persons per km squared with regard gender proportion of current population
constitute 51% female and 49% male. The population growth rate estimated about 2.9 %.
The project area is characterized by a great deal of ethnic and religious diversity. About three
ethnic groups live in the project Woredas .The major ethnic group in the project affected
EEPCo Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) iv

woreda is Wolita. (95%) and others 5%. The major religious group exist in the area are
Christianity which is 75% the rest are 25%. Regarding language all of them speak Wolita.
There is no ethnic minority or tribal people in and around the project area.
As far as education status concerned about 70% of the head of household has no formal
education of any sort. Only 30% can read and write.
a. Economic Condition and Lively Hood Activity
The primary economic activity and source of income for the majority of the population in the
project affected area is agriculture. Their livelihood depends on crop production. The
common annual crop produced in the project area are Teff ,wheat ,Barely and Maize etc. and
perennial crop such as Enset, Avocado ,Mango ,Sweet Potato ,Potato ,Yam ,Coffee, Banana
,Cassava and Ginger are predominantly grown in the area. Next to crop production live stock
raring is also the source of livelihood in and around the project area. Livestock raring is very
minimal because of shortage of grazing land.
b. Socio Economic Impact of the Project
The major socio economic impact that can be created due to the project is loss of farm land
and loss of income of household they can get from it and demolishing of residential houses.
The project will affect a total of 177 house holds; totally about 335 ha of land will be affected
Due to ROW, access road, tower pad foundation and substation, out of which about 27.67 ha
and 307.33 ha of land will be affected permanently and temporarily, respectively.
The project will not affect cultural historical and religious structures and community and
public infrastructures or institutions.
c. Public Consultation
During census and socio economic survey, a number of consultations were carried out with
PAPs and communities group and selected communities at different location.
The objective of consultation is to fully share the information about the project and its
components and obtain information about the needs of the affected people and the reaction to
the proposed project and to ensure transparent in all activities related to land acquisition and
compensation payment.
During discussions, important points were raised and discussed. The major issues raised
during discussions were the positive and negative impact of the project, compensation option
and income restoration.
D. Institutional Arrangement for the Implementation of RAP
Institutional and organizational arrangement is essential for successful implementation of the

RAP. The over all activities and responsibilities for the implementation of RAP is EEPCO.
For this purpose the main responsible unit with in EEPCo, namely the Gibe III –Sodo 400kV
EEPCo Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) v

transmission line project office will establish RAP implementing unit for direct and day to
day execution of the activities of the RAP will take place.
Under the resettlement implementation unit valuation committee will be established and
valuation of assets and payment of compensation will be carried out at local level.
The RAP will be implemented along with relevant organization, and grievance redress
committee will be established to address the problem of PAPs during implementation of RAP
The implementation of the RAP will be carried out with the active participation of PAPs and
the local kebele administration and consultation would continue every stage of
implementation process to assess the effectiveness of implementation.
E. Monitoring
Monitoring is the essential activities for the resettlement plan .The main type of monitoring
to be adopted for the purpose of resettlement are internal and external monitoring.
The Environmental monitoring unit of EEPCO will made an internal monitoring of the
proper compensation and implementation of the RAP.
The external monitoring will undertake by environmental protection authority /EPA/. EPA
will undertake all basic supervision on the impact of the project on PAPs and income
restoration, degree of satisfaction of PAPs during implementation of resettlement include
payment of compensation.
F. Implementation Budget and Schedule

provides the compensation and rehabilitation measures so that the income earnings potential
of individuals is restored and sustains their livelihoods.
The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is also provide details on:-

• the likely impacts resulting from land acquisition for the construction of transmission
line project activities and the mitigatory measures that will be put in place to address
these adverse impacts;
• the policies governing land expropriation, the range of adverse impacts and
entitlements;
• Present strategy for achieving the objectives of the resettlement/ land acquisition
policy;
EEPCo Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) 1

• a framework for implementation of the stated strategies to ensure timely acquisition

of assets, payment of compensation and delivery of other benefits to project affected
persons (PAP);
• the public information, consultation and participation, and grievance redress
mechanisms in project planning, design and implementation;
• provide identified sources and estimates of required resources for implementation of
the RAP; and
• a framework for supervision, monitoring and evaluation of resettlement
implementation.
1.3 Methodology
The following methodologies were used to prepare the Resettlement Action Plan.
1.3.1 Review Literature
Relevant document and published regulations, guidelines and national policies have been
reviewed.
1.3.2 Census and Socio-Economic Survey
Census and inventory have been conducted to get information required to identify the owner
of the lands and the loss of affected assets with in the proposed project area.
Socio-economic survey also conducted to solicit the opinion of the project affected peoples
about the project impacts and compensation payments.
During the census and inventory, the assessment team was assisted by surveyors and local
daily laborers. The daily laborers can help the team to consult local people with their
language.

in mind the three basic principles i.e. avoidance, minimization and mitigation. The final route
line has been selected following various factors and comprehensive analysis was carried out
and due consideration was given to agricultural land, social impact number of families
getting affected, and cost of compensation and extent of resettlement.

3. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR LAND ACQUISITION,

ACTIVITY AND USE
3.1 Policy framework
The constitution to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, National Policies, Laws,
Regulations and Institutional Frameworks regarding expropriation of land for the
development project has been reviewed.
Land required for the construction, operation and maintenance of the project shall be
allocated to the project by the government.
3.2 Constitution of FDRE
Constitution of the Federal Democratic Ethiopia Proclamation 1/1995 contains several

relevant policy legal and institutional frame works that have direct relevant with the
expropriation procedures for those people who might be affected by the proposed project.
The Constitution addresses the land owner ship and holding right. Article 40.3 of the
constitution provides the right to ownership of both rural and urban land as well as natural
resources to government and the people of Ethiopia.
It further states that land is the common property of Ethiopian people and can not be subject
to sale or to other means of exchange .In addition; article 4015 of the constitution guarantees
the right of farmers to obtained land with out payment and protection against eviction from
their possession. The detail implementation of this provision is to be specified by subsequent
laws.
The ownership of land is vested in the state and this people of Ethiopia. The rural and urban
dwelling have only usufruct right over land this right gives to the people, the right to use the
land and benefit from the fruits of his /her labor, which may be crops, trees ,etc found on the
land or any permanent works such as buildings etc, any interference on the use fractural
rights such as expropriation shall entail compensation, this is clearly provided in Article 40.7
of the constitution which says that every Ethiopian shall have the right to the immovable
property the buildings and to the permanent improvement are bring s about on the land by his
labor or capital the owner of that right is entitled to compensation and the detail
implementation shall be determined by law.
Article 40.8 of the constitution strengthens this by providing for expropriation of private
property for public purpose requires advance payment of compensation. The detail
implementation of this provision is also left to be determined by subsequent law.
The resettlement /rehabilitation policy framework prepared by EEPCo also expresses

appropriately and recognize these constitutions and they are the basis for the compensation
procedures and the legal framework for the resettlement and rehabilitation policy of EEPCo
(EEPCo 2006, Page 3).

In the course of the preparation of resettlement and rehabilitation action plans as it is stated
clearly in the constitution ( Article 35.6 ; 43.2 and 92.3 ) , all affected stakeholders – special
attentions should be given to project affected women – need to be appropriately consulted to
participate them and identify their needs and interests including determination of the amount
of compensation required .
3.3 National Policy of Women
The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has declared its unequivocal commitment to
the development of women with announcement of the national policy on women in 1993.
The women’s policy primarily aims to institutionalize the political, economical and social
rights of women by creating an appropriate structure in government offices and institutions
so that the public policies and interventions are gender – sensitive and can ensure equitable
development for all Ethiopian men and women.
Consistent with the above policy, Article 25 of the new constitution guaranties all persons
equality before the law, and prohibit any discrimination on grounds of gender. In addition,
Article 35 reiterates principles of equality of access to economic opportunities, including the
right of equality in employment and land ownership. The democratization process, the new
constitution, the women’s policy and the institutional set up have created conducive
atmosphere for the promotion and the advancement of women and the implementation of the
plan of action.
The policy states that the responsibility of ensuring the implementation of the National
Policy on Women lies mainly with the Government. Besides, various women’s organizations
are formed to promote women issues in different areas.
All development programs at national and regional levels should be able to integrate gender
concerns in their plans and program to see that women participate, contribute, benefit and
their effort is recognized and technologically supported. Thus the mainstreaming of gender in
all development programs should focuses at establishing a system where by each sector
program would use gender as a measuring indicator to quantify project and achievements. To
this effect, the resettlement planners should have referred the Women Policy during the
preparation of this RAP report.
3.4 Environmental Policies
The environmental policy of FDRE was approved by the Council of Minister in 1997. The
policy contains sectoral and cross-sectoral policies including provision required for the
appropriate implementation of the policy it self.
There are relevant elements regarding compensation plan incorporated in cross-sectoral

policies documents. The policy element, which is relevant in the preparation of compensation
plan, is community participation and the management of environment and monitoring and
evaluation during all phases from the project conception to planning and implementation are
undertaken based on the decision of resource users and managers.

3.5 Review of Laws and Regulation
3.5.1 The Rural Land Administration and Utilization Proclamation
The constitution of FDRE leaves the detail implementation of the provisions concerning
tenure rights over rural land to be determined by subsequent specific laws to be issued at both
the federal and regional levels. Accordingly, The Rural Land Administration and Land Use
Proclamation No. 456/2005 was issued in o 2005 to further determine the land use system
and land us e rights in the country or at the federal level. The proclamation provide that land
administration laws to be enacted by regions should be based on the provisions provided
therein and specifies the basic principles of rural land distribution and utilization including
the scope of land use rights with regional laws should grant. Similar to the constitution, the
proclamation provides that peasants and nomads (pastoralists) shall have the right to get rural
land free of charge the size of which shall be determined based up on the specific local
conditions
Accordingly, Southern Nation And Nationality Peoples Regional State /SNNPRS/ has
enacted its own proclamation regarding land administration and utilization to replace
proclamation No.55/ 2001. Since the proposed project is with in the SNNP Regional States
that subject to Resettlement Action plan, the proclamation provides the right of access to
rural land free of charge for those who lives depend on agriculture and who are aged 18 years
or above (Article 5.1). The land holder has the right to use the land for life long for
agricultural purpose or lease the land to the third party or bequeathed it to his /her heirs.
The proclamation in Article 19.1 provides that where the land is required for public use, the
land holder has the right to compensated for their assets on the land or tree, crops cultivated
on land including the right to be compensated similar land. The responsible organ designated
in the proclamation itself, as the land administration and utilization office.
3.5.2 Expropriation and Compensation of Property
3.5.2.1 Land Tenure
According to the Constitution December 1994, Land holding right became under the control
of the people and Government of Ethiopia. Article 40 states that ownership of both urban and
rural land is vested in the state of and the people, and common property, which is not subject
to sale or other means of exchange. Peasants have the right to obtained land with out
payment and are protected against eviction from land in their possession.
3.5.2.2 Expropriation of Land Holding for Public Purpose
According to the Constitution of FDRE, full right to immovable property and permanent
improvement to the land is vested in individuals who have built the property or made the
improvements but government may expropriate such property for public purpose, subject to
the payment in advance of compensation commensurate to the value of the property or
alternative means of compensation including relocation with adequate state assistance.

Thus project plans would include an attractive and sustainable compensation strategy,
offering adequate compensation and incentive to the loss of livelihood.
More relevant for this specific project, the 1960 civil code (article 1446) provides that if land
is owned by the state or other administrative bodies from part of the public area, the
competent authority may, by way of expropriation proceedings obtain the land necessary for
the construction of the project.
The proclamation on Expropriation of Land and Compensation No 455/2005 implied

repealed the outdated provisions of the Ethiopian Civil Code of 1960 regulations land
acquisitions and compensation for the purpose of public project. It is a new legislation
established detail procedures setting the time limits with in which land could be acquired
after a request is received from a proponent, principles for assessment of compensation for
properties on the land as well as for displacement compensation.
It also empowered the Woreda administration to established valuation committees to value

private properties. In the case of public owned infrastructures to be removed the barriers for
planned land acquisition, substantially raised the amount of compensation payable to
expropriated owners of properties and displaced people.
Recently regulation No 135/2007 payment of compensation for property situated on land

holdings expropriated for public purpose is issued for the proper implementation of the
proclamation No. 455/2005 Expropriation of land holdings for public purposes and payment
of compensation .These regulations issued for the purpose of not only paying compensation
but also to assist displaced persons to restore their livelihood.
This regulation set forth details to determine the amount of compensation for different assets
found on land holdings expropriated for public purpose and stipulated the formula to
calculate the amount of compensation payable for different assets.
3.5.2.3 Compensation
Regarding the determination of compensation in part three, article 7 of the proclamation

No.455/2005, the basis and amount of compensation is clearly explained in Article 7(1) a
land holder whose holding has been expropriated shall be entitled to payment of
compensation for his property situated on the land and for permanent improvements he made
such land
Article 7(2) states that the amount of compensation for property situated on the expropriated
land shall be determined on the basis of replacement cost of the property.
Under article 8(1) of this proclamation a survival land holder whose land holding has been
permanently expropriated shall in addition to the compensation payable under article of this
proclamation is paid displacement compensation, which shall be equivalent to ten times the
average annual income he secured to bring the five years preceding the expropriations of the
land.

All PAPs and organization (whether public or private) that loss houses crops or sources of
income will be compensated or rehabilitated according to the type and amount of their losses.
The cut –off date for compensation eligibility will set once all detailed measurements have
been completed; compensation will also not be paid for any structure erected .or crops and
trees planted purely for the purpose of gaining additional compensation. Cultivating land,
constructing settlement in project affected areas after the cut of date will not be eligible for
compensation or subsidies.
3.6 World Bank Policies and Procedure for Involuntary Resettlement
World Bank issued an operational policy on involuntary resettlement 4.12 in 2002, which is
applied to all World Bank financed resettlement 4.12 is 2002, which is applied to all World
Bank financed projects. The World Bank’s O.P 4.12 underlines the need to identify,
understand and mitigate various “impoverishment risk social cultural economic, and
environment that may arise as a result of a development project that entails displacement of
people. The three cores objectives of the O.P 4.12 on involuntary resettlement are the
following.
• Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible , or minimized exploring

all viable alternative project designs.
• where us bit feasible to avoid resettlement ,resettlement activities should be

conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient
investment resources , to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in
project benefits, displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have
opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.
• Displaced persons should be assisted in their effort to improve their livelihoods and
standard of living or at least restore them, in real terms, to pre displacement levels or
to levels higher.
• National policies and legislations are in conformity with the criteria set by the World
Bank there fore, EEPCo also committed to adopt the World Bank policies O.P4.12
and BP4.12 in its power development projects that involve resettlement.
3.7 The African Development Bank Involuntary Resettlement Policy
The AfDB involuntary resettlement policy has been developed to cover involuntary
displacement and resettlement of people caused by a Bank financed project and it applies
when a project results in relocation or loss of shelter of the persons residing in the project
area , or their assets being lost or livelihoods being affected.
The primary goal of the involuntary resettlement policy is to ensure that when people must
be displaced they are treated equitably, and that they share the benefits of the project that
involves their resettlement. The objectives of the policy are to ensure that the disruption of
the livelihood of people in the projects area is minimized; the displaced persons receive
resettlement assistance to improve their living standards and to provide explicit guidance to
Bank staff and to borrowers, and set up a mechanism for monitoring the performance of the

resettlement programs. The policy emphasizes that the resettlement plan should be prepared
and based o n a development approach that addresses issues of the livelihood and living
standard of the displaced person as well as compensation for loss of assets, using a
participatory approach at all stages of project design and implementation.
The policy among others states that compensation at the full resettlement cost for loss of land
and other assets should be paid prior to projects implementation with the view to improve the
former living standards, income earnings capacity and production levels of the affected
population. The borrower will be required to prepare a full resettlement plan for any project
that involve a significant number of people ( 200 or more persons) who would need to be
displaced with a loss of assets , or access or reduction in their livelihood.
3.8 EEPCo’s Strategies for Expropriation and Compensation
It is objective of EEPCo to avoid or reduce the environmental and social impacts of its power
projects to a minimum level. If adverse social impacts to be occurred are unavoidable,
EEPCo will open consultation with PAPs and perform legal compensation for loss of all their
properties. To achieve the social mitigation goal EEPCo will allocate adequate budget for
compensation before the project implementation.
EEPCo in consultation with the administration of regional state governments, zones,

Woredas and Kebele associations shall establish property valuation committee to properly
implement compensation payment for PAPs on time before the start of the project
construction activities.
3.9 The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and Administration Regions
The federal democratic republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) was formally established on August 21,
1995. The FDRE comprises o f the federal states with 9 Regional state members. The new
government structure takes power from the center to regions and localities. The relative roles
of government at the different level (Federal, Regional and Local) in terms of power and
duties, including on fiscal matters, have been defined by the constitution, proclamation Nos.
33 of 1992 , 41 of 1993 and 4 of 1995. Under these proclamations duties and responsibilities
of regional states include planning, directing and developing social and economic programs,
as well as the administration, development and protection of resources of their respective
regions.

4. EXISTING SITUATION OF THE PROJECT AREA
4.1 Location and Administration Setup
The Gibe III–Sodo 400 kV transmission line project located in Southern Nation
Nationalities Regional States /SNNRS/ of Wolita Sodo Zone. The line cross three Woredas
namely Sodo Zuria, Damote Sore and Kindo koyisha .
4.2 Population and Demographic Characteristics
About 406,283 people live in the three Woredas of Sodo Zuria ,Damot Sore and Kindo
Koyisha.The average family size for all the affected Woreda is 7 which is more than the
national averages 4.8. The average population density is 501.93 Persons per km squared with
regard gender proportion of current population constitutes 51% female and 49% male. The
population growth rate estimated about 2.9 %.

4.3 Religion, Ethnicity and Language
The project area is characterized by a great deal of ethnic and religious diversity. About
three ethnic groups live in the project Woredas .The major ethnic group in the project
affected Woreda is Wolita (95%) and the rests 3% are Amhara and 2% Kembata. The major
religious group exist in the area are Christianity which is 75%. The remaining 20 % and 5%
are musilims and other traditional religions respectively. Regarding language all of them
speak Wolita. There is no ethnic minority or tribal people in and around the project area.
4.4 Economic Conditions and Livelihood Activities
Agriculture is the dominant economic activity in the project area. Farming and livestock
raring are the basic livelihood of the people in all project affected Woredas. The farming
system and pattern of agricultural production vary based on the nature of agro ecology. The
project affected area classified traditionally in to three categories Dega (highland),
Woinadega (mid –altitude and Kola (low land). Sodo Zuria and Damote Sore Woreda are
part of the Dega (highland) and Woinadega /mid altitude/ and characterized by the farming
system with combination of enset as a co -stable with cereals and tubers .The Enset based
farming system is found in the highland between 1,600 and 3000 m.a.s.l. where as kindo

koiysh Woreda is belongs to kola /low land and their farming practice is differ from Sodo
Zuria and Damote Sore. They mostly produce maize and sorghums.
The common annual crop produced in the project area are Teff ,Wheat ,Barely and Maize
etc. and perennial crops such as Enset ,Avocado ,Mango ,Sweet Potato ,Potato ,Yam ,Coffee,
Banana ,Cassava and Ginger are predominantly grown in the project area .

% farmland, 18 % grazing land and the remaining 6% are forest and un used land.
4.6 Access to Social Services
4.6.1 Access to Medical Facilities
The available health institutions and health personnel of the Woreda is surveyed. The
information obtained from Woreda health bureau shows that about 50 % of the people have
access to medical services.
The available health institution and health personnel of the affected Woredas are presented in

kebeles including the project affected kebeles. Taking the total population of the Woreda
which is 406,283, the number of people per health station is estimated at 1806. This indicated
that the health coverage is above the national standard which is 10,000 people per health
station.
4.6.2 Access to Education
About 95 primary and secondary and high schools found in the project Woredas and 1039
teachers. The survey result shows that 97% of the people have access to primary and
secondary school.

4.6.3 Access to Water Supply
Protected water supply is available with in project affected kebeles. Most of the people live
in this kebeles use safe water (spring, Pipe water, pond water and hand dug well) for drinking

however the distribution of clean water supply is not adequate. Most of the families travel
long distance to fetch drinking water. The water supply coverage in the Sodo Zuria Woreda
is 57 %, Damote Sore 42.23% and kindo koyisha 21%.
4.6.4 NGOs Working In and Around the Project
Kale Hiwot, Inter Aid, Massy Foot Treatment Association and SOS Sahil Ethiopia are
working in the project affected Woredas on the area of rural water supply, provision of
educational and health services on HIV/AIDS, family planning, soil conservation, rural road
construction, provision of credit facilities etc.
The credit facilities provision mainly focus on supporting female headed households and the
poorest those who have no oxen.
4.6.5 Access to Agricultural Support Services
Farmers have access to get fertilizers and selected seeds from the Woreda Agricultural and
Rural Development Offices. They can get credit facilities for those who couldn’t afford to
buy fertilizers and selected seeds. They also get advice from agricultural experts to improve
the productivity of agricultural products and management of natural resources.

5. SOCIO- ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE PAPS
Socio -Economic survey carried out to assess and evaluate the economic resources base and
socio economic conditions of the PAPs and to understand the socioeconomic characteristics
feature of the affected households, and also their attitude and preference for rehabilitation.
The main objectives of the socio economic survey are:
• to collect baseline demographic and socio economic characteristics of affected
household whose land are being acquired ;
• to categorize the PAPs under different categories for various benefits and
entitlements ;
• to assess the peoples reaction towards the project and ascertain their preference
for resettlement and rehabilitation; and
• to suggest appropriate rehabilitation action plan for improving /restoring the
living standards of affected families.
As per the survey 177 households (1,350 families) are getting affected due to the acquisition
of land for the project. These households are distributed with in three Woredas namely Sodo
Zuria, Demote Sore and Kindo Koiysha. In terms of the geographical distribution of the
project affected households, the majority of the households 96 households (640 families) are
residence of Kindo Koisha.
The majority of the project affected households are male headed 173 (98 %) and only
4 (2 %) are female headed.
5.1 Age-wise Distribution of Members of Affected Families
The distribution of the members of the project affected families (PAFs) based on the age is
presented in Table 5 shown below.
Table -5: Age Distribution of the Project Affected Woredas
No. Age Group No. %

Children and Students less than 18
1 years 1173 87
2 Workers (18-64 years) 172 12
3 Old Persons (More than 65 years) 5 1
4 Total 1350 100
It can be seen from the above table that the majority of the affected persons (87 %) are
children and students who are economically dependent age groups. Considering the fact that
some of these families will lost their land partially and the existing land holding size of each

family will become very small and as a result their livelihood is likely to be severely
affected. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate these families appropriately.
As the socio economic survey identified, only 1% of the affected groups are olds. These
groups could be considered vulnerable as they will be adversely affected by the project.
Members of such groups require a special assistance to restore their income and livelihoods.
5.2 Distribution of the Affected Families by Religion
The families affected due to the acquisition of land in the village are all belongs to Protestant
and Orthodox Christian.
5.3 Educational Status of the PAPs
With respect to educational status of the heads of the households, result of the survey
indicates that almost all (58.8 %) of the head of the households have no formal education of
any sort. Only few of the head of households (22.6 %) reported that they have primary
education, 18% have secondary education and only 0.5% have collage diploma.
5.4 Housing Conditions of the PAPs
Socio- economic assessment has carried out on residential conditions of the PAPs to
understand their living conditions and quality of life. The survey result shows that the
majority of are living in their own houses made from mud and wood wall and grass roofed.
The local name of this type of house is called Wolita. Some of the affected families also live
in houses made from wood and mud wall having corrugated iron sheet roof.
5.5 Livestock
The primary occupation of the PAPs is agriculture. In addition raring of livestock is a

supportive occupation. So that, it is important to consider the livestock owned by PAPs. The
PAPs own a variety of livestock such as oxen, cows, sheep, donkey etc. However due to the
prevalence scarcity of grazing land in the project area, the amount of livestock is relatively
low.
5.6 Average Land Holding Size
Land is one of the most important assets among the PAPs households and land based
economic activities are the major source of livelihoods to the households. Result of the
census survey revealed that in average, about 44 .25 ha of farmland owned by 177 project
affected households.
The overall average land holding size for the project areas is 0.25 ha per household which is
small that of the national average of about 1 ha /household.

5.7 Crop Production
The result of the survey reveals that, the farmlands are used for cultivation of different kinds
of crops; such as, Maize, Wheat Barley, Sorghum, S/potato, etc. Among these s/potato is
dominantly produced followed by potato (26%) and maize (20%).

5.8 Source of Livelihood of the Affected Families
Household survey revealed that the primary economic activity of the PAPs is agriculture.
They obtain their income and livelihood from agriculture based economic activities like crop
production. Most of the PAPs use their product for household consumption. They sell only
some amount of crops for purchasing cloths and other consumer goods such as kerosene,
food oil, salt etc. Agricultural product contributes 99 % of annual household income.
Therefore, the loss of income is based on the loss of average land holding.
According to the collected data on the PAFs’ income for the past two – three years, the
average production of crops per the affected families is about 49 Quintals of cereals and root
crops per hectare per year i.e., Birr 23,520.00 (49 Quintals x 480 Birr).
The average land holding size of the project affected families is 0.25 ha. The average income
they can earn from 0.25 ha of land per Annum is Birr 5,880.00 (12.25 Quintals x 480 Birr
Next to crop production live stock raring is also the source of the livelihood in and around
the project area. However, as there is shortage of grazing land in the project area, the share of
annual income that could be collected from livestock raring production is only one percent.

Source: Household Survey, 2001
Most of the PAPs lose their agricultural land temporary due to ROW and access roads.
Therefore, the agricultural income lost due to these activities expected to be about 13 quintals
/ha /year in a normal rainfall years. The survey has also identified that a number of PAPs
will lose insignificant size of their total land holdings permanently due to the tower
foundation.
5.9 Summary of the Findings of the Socio-Economic Survey
The major observations of the socio-economic survey of the PAFs are summarized below:
About, 335 ha of land will be affected due to ROW, access road, tower pad foundation and
Substation, out of which about 27.67 ha of land will be affected permanently and 307.33 ha
of land temporarily.
Almost all PAFs belong to Wolaita ethnic group
Most of the families live in houses made up mud and wood wall and grass roofed houses.
About 133 Tukuls (grass roofed) and 59 houses (Tin roofed) would be affected due to the
ROW.
Most of the families are predominantly agriculture oriented.
The present landholding size is small to meet their essential needs.
The above factors are given due weight during the preparation of Resettlement
/Rehabilitation Action Plans (RAPs).

6.2 Impact on Housing Structures
A total of 192 housing structure (133 grass roofed and 59 tin roofed houses) will be affected
by the construction of the transmission line.

6.2.1 Impact on public and community institutions
The socio economic survey made to the project area and discussion held with affected
Woreda representatives and community elders indicated that the proposed Gibe III –Sodo
transmission line construction will have no impact on social services facilities like public
buildings, schools, health facilities, water supply and religious institutions (churches
mosques). Therefore, no compensation measures will be required.
6.2.2 Impact on Perennial Crops and Trees
Farmers in the project affected areas cultivate a large number of crops on small plots of land
includes cereals, enset and other root and tuber crops, fruits and other trees. One of the major
impacts on PAPs is loss of perennial crops and trees.
A total of 26,892 trees will be affected due to the ROW. Different types of trees to be
affected are Eucalyptus, Juniper /Tid/ and others. Among those types of affected trees, coffee
tree is the largest constitutes about 33.6% of the affected trees.

6. SOCIO - ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT
Construction of the proposed Gibe III –Sodo 400 kV transmission line involved the
demolishing of some houses and loss of annual and perennial crops and trees with in the 50
m wide ROWs.
Socio - economic survey and census and inventory of project affected properties and assets
are conducted within the proposed project affected Woredas to determine the exact number
of affected persons and the extent and nature of impacts.
The findings of the survey revealed that about 177 households are identified to be affected by
the project and most of them will lose their farm land partially. About 192 residential houses
will be affected by the project, and consequently there will be physical displacement.
However, as the project is linear one, the households who lose their houses could be able to
construct their houses at the remaining plot of land with out any resettlement or relocation
.For those who have no enough area to build own houses, there could be a need to relocate
them in short distance from the ROW or (the same location of Wolita Zone) so as to reduce
the social disruption due to resettlement. (See a census of affected persons and their affected
assets in Annex 1)
6.1 Impact on Household Assets
6.1.1 Impact on Farmland
Land is the main asset and source of livelihood for the PAPs. The project affected Woredas
are characterized by acute shortage of farming land, very small and fragmented land holdings
and intensive farming system. The average land holding size of the PAPs is only 0.25 ha. The
existing land use of the project will be affected due to ROW, foundation for towers, access
roads and substation construction which cause temporary and permanent loss of crops and
vegetation clearance.
The number of project affected households and the amount of land they will lose is
summarized in Table -8.

6.3 The Extent of Impact on the Land Use
Land is the most important source for the PAPs whose livelihood is mainly depend on small
holder farming. In the project affected Woredas, land is scarce and most valuable assets due
to the high population density and the intensive nature of the farming system.
The construction of the transmission line will cause permanent and temporary loss of land.
The permanent loss of land occurred due to tower foundation area and substation which is
about 27.67 ha .On the other hand, 322.65 ha of land would be affected temporarily due to
the creation of ROW and temporary access road construction.
The total number of PAPs affected due to the land acquisition for the project purpose is 177
(1,239 families). On the whole, 0.3 % of the people are affected out of the total population of
the three affected Woredas. Damote Sore is the most affected Woreda in terms of number of
affected households and magnitude of affected assets and properties.
Since the project is linear, most of the households will lose their land partially. The amount
of permanent land loses for each household due to the occupation of tower foundation is less
than 0.01 ha which 4% of the total land holdings .Hence, the significant of the impact is very
minimal.

6.4 Impact on Vulnerable Groups
About 3% of the project affected households are identified as vulnerable groups of which 2%
are female headed households and 1% old age above 65 years old. These groups shall be
considered for additional assistance and need special attentions to ensure that they are
supported to be benefited from compensation entitlement and other mitigation measures.
7. PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Information disseminated and consultations with the PAPs were carried out with PAPs and
communities group and selected communities at Shamba and Kuto Surfelo Kebeles in
February 26, 2000.
Besides, meeting was held with local officials and representatives from relevant offices such
as agricultural and rural development, land administration and utilization, and representative
from Kebele officials.
Consultation helps to reduce the potential conflict, minimize the risk of project deliyance and
also enable the project to include resettlement as a comprehensive development program to
suite the needs and priorities of the PAPs.
The main objective of consultation is to fully share the information about the project and its
components and obtain information about the needs of the affected people and the reaction to
proposed project and to ensure transparent in all activities related to land acquisition and
compensation.
During the discussion the important points were raised and discussed. The major issues
raised during discussion were the positive and negative impact of the project, the issue
related to compensation payment, the manner and procedure of compensation payment for
the expropriated land compensation.
The findings of the consultation indicated that the opinion of the peoples about the project is
very encouraging and positive. The consulted people believe that it is one of the development
projects of the government that will definitely improve the existing condition in and around
the project and create employment opportunity for the local people.
Small group meetings and regular interaction with PAPs will be going on and to be continued
during the course of compensation. (See Consultation Minuets of meeting in annex II).

8. ENTITLEMENT MATRIX AND ELIGIBILITY OF PROJECT AFFECTED

PERSONS
This section provides a framework for entitlement for each category of impacts that have
discussed in the previous sections.
To determine the eligible person for compensation EEPCo takes in to account the National
Proclamation and Regulations and the Criteria set by the World Bank contained in op 4.12 of
the WB Operational Manual.
Therefore, the criteria for eligibility for affected persons contained in OD 4.30 and the
National Proclamation No 455/2005 are adopted i.e. those who have formal legal right to
land and lawful possession over the land to be expropriated and owns property situated there
on.
To this effect, census and inventory of lost assets and property is conducted. The date of
census has established for the cut off-date to record the PAPs in a project area.
A person who occupies the land after the completion of inventory of affected households and
assets will not be eligible for compensation for the lost assets and /or resettlement and
rehabilitation.
Entitlement matrix below defines the eligibility for compensation and rehabilitation
assistance for impacts /losses for different types of assets for different category of project
affected persons.
8.1 Basis for Valuation of Losses
The Ethiopian legislation has well developed laws and regulation defining the basis to be
used for valuation of type of loss due to development projects. The principles of the
legislations include;
• Provide equivalent replacement land for long term losses;

• Compensating for any losses in net income; and
• Focus on restoring annual income.
Based on the compensation proclamation, EEPCo will employ the principle of replacement
cost and compensation at market cost for valuation of lost assets.
Replacement cost approach is based on the premise that the costs of replacing productive
assets that have been damaged because of project activities. The approach involves direct

replacement of expropriated assets and covers and amount that is sufficient for asset
replacement.
The process and the necessary action to be taken will be concluded after consultations with
Woreda administration and EEPCo and the entire exercise of valuating the affected assets
will be done by valuation committee.
Compensation for loss of crop calculated on the basis of;
• unit rates of compensation for loss of crops;

• measure the size of land for each type of crop (in square meter or hectare );
• quantify the amount of agricultural production in kilogram ,per hectare or per meter
square ;and
• use current market price for each crop type per kilogram ;and finally
• Calculate the amount of compensation payment based on the type, size and quality of
each type of crop production.

8.2 Compensation for Loses of Crops
The following procedure and method are used to set values for crops loss.
• The proportion of area harvested, along with the area covered by each crop will be
taken in to account;
• Yield per hectare;
• Total crop production; and
• Value of crops

8.3 Compensation for Loss of Perennial Crops and Trees
Compensation rates for loss of perennial crops and trees will take in to account the
distinction between various types of trees and their economic values.
The compensation rate for eucalyptus tree will take in to account the distinction between
various types of trees and the current local price per unit of the respective sizes of these, i.e.
big, medium, and small seedlings.
Fruit trees will be compensated for the value of lost production until the replacement tree is
at the same stage of productivity.

The compensation for ripe crops is calculated on the basis of the cost required to grow the
plant and the average annual income for each fruit trees is calculated on the basis of tree
characteristics and the ten years benefit.
The compensation for unripe perennial crop calculated on the bases of the amount of cost
expends to grow the plant and the ten years benefit.
Compensation for the loss of eucalyptus tree has been calculated using the following rates:
• Big trees 200 Birr/tree

• Medium 60 Birr /tree
• Small 25 birr /tree
• Seedlings 3 birr/ tree

9. INSTITUTION FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF RESETTLEMENT PLAN
Implementation of the Resettlement Plan is critical activity. For effective and efficient
implementation of the RAP it is necessary to establish the resettlement organ .The organ has
a responsibility to manage the plan, coordinate, and monitor the resettlement.
The implementation of the Resettlement Plan and all compensation matter such as allocation
of the compensation fee is the responsibility of EEPCo for which the resettlement
implementation unit will establish under the project implementing unit /PIU/ and to be in
charge of implement the Resettlement Plan.
Moreover, the established office will consult and establish valuation committee at Woreda
level as per the proclamation No.455/2005 which comprises 5-7 members from relevant
government offices and representative of the project affected persons from each affected
kebeles.
The members of the committee will consist of Woreda administrator as chair person, and
experts from agriculture and rural development office specially crop management and
protection, land administration and utilization offices and PAPs representatives from each
kebeles. The committee will take up the implementation of the RAP along with the project
implementing office.
The key functions of the committee will be:
• Register the PAPs and affected assets;

• Verify the entitlement right of PAPs with concerned authority;
• Determine the compensation rates with taking in to account the country’s legislation;
and
• Based on the information, implement compensation payments.
The operation of expropriation, compensation and relocation activities shall be under taken
before the commencement of the construction works.
According to the implementation schedule of the project, the tentative commencement of the
work will be starting from September 1st 2009. The Resettlement Plan is based on this
tentative implementation schedule of the project.
The implementation agency should submit report to the donor agency, African Development
Bank (AfDB), which ensure that all the PAPs are fully compensated and resettled before the
start of the construction works.

9.1 Implementation Schedule
All Woredas along Gibe III – Sodo HVTL will finalize the formulation of valuation
committee by February 1st 2009
The committee will finalizes census /inventory of the displaced persons and their assets and
approval of eligibility by March1st 2009
The valuation committee will complete the valuation of assets agreed with PAPs on
modalities of payment /compensation by April 1st 2009
EEPCO ‘s project implementing unit (PIU) will finalize budget for compensation and
agreed on mechanisms of payment to PAPs and payment will be accomplished by August
1st2009.
Woreda and kebele will facilitate construction of new residential houses and the PAPs would
have physically moved by September 1st 2009 and the construction firm takes over the site.
The construction of PAPs residential houses will be finalized during dry season.
The following Table 17 shows the detail schedule for implementation of Resettlement Action
Plan for the Gibe III-Sodo 400 kV HVTL project activities.

10. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
Dissatisfactions may arise through the process of compensation for a variety of reasons,
including disagreement on the compensation value during valuation for assets, controversial
issue on property ownership etc. To address the problem of PAPs during implementation of
compensation a grievance redress committee will be established in project affected kebeles.
The composition of grievance redress committee is depicted below.
Table -18: Members of Grievance Redress Committee

1 Representative of Kebele Administration Chair person
2 Representative of Land Administration secretary
3 Respected Elders (three) members(three)
The main function of the committee would be arbitration and negotiation based on
transparent and fair hearing of the cases of the parties in dispute between PAPs and the
implementing agencies for local government. The committee gives solution to grievances
related to compensation amount, delays in compensation payment or provision of different
type of resettlement assistance.
10.1 Grievances Redress Procedure
All PAPs will be informed in case of any grievance regarding compensation can approach to
chair man of the grievance committee or the project implementer. Any PAPs who have
grievance would present his /her cases to the grievance redress committee. The committee
examines the case and responds within a period of 15 days.
If the PAPs are not satisfied with the decision of the Grievance Redress Committee/GRC/,
they can approach the regular court.

11. MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN
In order to guarantee that the compensation plan be smoothly performed and the benefit of
the affected persons be well treated, the implementation of the compensation plan will be
under monitoring throughout the whole process. Monitoring will be divided into two parts,
i.e. internal and external monitoring.
11.1 Internal Monitoring
The internal monitoring will be performed by resettlement implementation unit. The

concerned local administration will also conduct their own monitoring .The target of internal
monitoring is to ensure that there is overall fairness and transparency while compensation
process takes place and Resettlement Action Plan is performed based on legal rights.
The main monitoring center would be compensation allocation schedule, payment and use of
compensation fee, implementation of the policies and regulation specified in the resettlement
plan and the whole course of implementation of the compensation.
The main source of data for internal monitoring will be the data base generated from the RAP
for e.g. records on compensation for assets as well as the day today observations by
implementing staffs.
The resettlement office will record the progress of land allocation and resettlement. The
office will make a summary report starting from the commencement of the activities and
special events will be reported on continuous base.
The format of the report will be prepared in terms of the requirement of the World Bank and
African Development Bank. The format usually comprises detail description of resettlement
progress and compensation payment, problems and difficulties met in the implementation
process and corresponding resolution methods and measures.
11.2 External Monitoring
External monitoring is the responsibilities of Federal Ethiopia Environmental Protection

Authority /FEPA/. EPA will under take all basic supervision on the impact of the project on
PAPs and income restoration, degree of satisfaction of PAPs during implementation of
resettlement include payment of compensation.
Environmental monitoring unit of EEPCo also undertakes the resettlement monitoring work
of the resettlement implementing office and it is the independent resettlement monitoring of
EEPCo’s power project. The main responsibility of EMU is to assess the performance of the

resettlement implementation office based on the consolidated report and take corrective
measures in case of problems.
The major monitoring areas include;
• The over all fairness and transparency of the compensation process;

• Progress of compensation payment;
• Appropriateness of grievance redress mechanisms; and
• Problems and difficulties encountered.
12. IMPLEMENTATION BUDGET
The total resettlement implementation cost for the construction of Gibe III-Sodo HVTL is
summarized below in Table -19. The total budget required for compensation payment , i.e.
for loss of crops ,trees and residential houses due to ROW, tower foundation, access roads
and substation will be 23,939,240.60 Birr 2,242,278.75 (USD). This Budget includes
compensation cost for environmental monitoring.
