This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) describes how risks arising from land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) and associated negative impacts upon project affected persons (PAP) will be managed in the LASED III project. The LASED and LASED II projects have managed LAR risks primarily by avoiding the need for land acquisition and, where necessary, by entering into voluntary agreements with land users who are beneficiaries of the project. LASED III is likewise expected to avoid the need for land acquisition in most cases.
