RESETTLEMENT

The How-to Guide on Resettlement supports hydropower developers to identify, manage and avoid risks associated with resettlement. It provides a strategic overview and guiding principles to help inform the steps of the resettlement process at each stage of the project development cycle.

The guide encourages developers to place adequate weighting on pre-development assessment to evaluate whether resettlement is suitable.

In addition, it encourages developers to take a conscientious, holistic approach to analysing the effects of resettlement and how those affected may be compensated and cultural heritage protected.
