This book is an up-to-date, accessible and practical guide on how
to optimally plan for, implement and review land access and
resettlement. It provides step-by-step information on how to avoid
pitfalls, ensure that best practice is being employed and the
correct standards are being applied. With useful real-life examples
of when projects have gone well and when they haven't, the book is
based on the main lessons that have been learned on-the-ground over
the past decade. Natural resource projects can have considerable
impacts on local communities, chiefly due to the need to acquire
large areas of land. When projects are located in developing and
middle income economies, the impacts are most keenly felt, as it
often requires displacement of large rural populations, with
predominately land-based livelihoods. The authors have planned,
implemented and reviewed over 50 land access and resettlement
projects in over 30 countries internationally, and conducted
benchmarking exercises on a further 60 projects. This experience
provides the basis for the book. The book guides the reader through
the different stages of preparing for a land resettlement project.
Land Access and Resettlement is a key social risk for the natural
resources sector, particularly the mining, oil and gas industries,
who are operating in a context of increased awareness and
regulation regarding the potential social impacts of their
activities. At the same time, companies increasingly appreciate the
business case for `getting social right'. This book provides a
practical road map to corporate leaders, project managers,
practitioners, academia, government and civil society for
practically planning and implementing successful land access and
resettlement, and creating win-win outcomes for companies and
communities.
