his Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy for Development Works and Public Infrastructure 2013 has been drafted to effectively resettle and rehabilitate the affected households and communities by restoring their lost assets, resources and means of livelihoods to pre-project level and to facilitate the management of development projects by maintaining uniformity in distribution of compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation works. This policy aims to make the resettlement and rehabilitation of affected communities a more humane, participatory, informed and transparent process. The policy will ensure that the land acquisition and valuation process is scientific, timely and realistic.
