Development of Strategies (Plans) on involuntary resettlement of the population

For projects, which necessitate physical and/or economic resettlement of the population, the Ecoline EA Centre prepares Resettlement Strategies and/or Plans.

These documents are developed in line with the requirements of the international financial organizations as part of environmental and social assessment of investment projects. The Ecoline EA Centre was the first company in the Russian Federation that started preparing such documents.

A mandatory component of the development of any Resettlement Strategy (Plan) is a detailed assessment of the socio-economic baseline conditions of the territory and areas of potential recipients. Extensive consultations with stakeholders also take place, alongside the identification of potential migrants. Ways for losses recovery are also considered and comparative analysis of the possible alternatives is carried out.
