V Approach and Methodology

A General Approach

Appropriate method will be used to collect field level information in order to review and

compare the Socio-economic condition of DPs before and after resettlement

program Collected information on the key indicators of resettlement progress

efficiency effectiveness impact and sustainability will be analyzed The monitoring and

evaluation consultant will also conduct at least one ex-post evaluation Survey to assess

the achievement of resettlement objectives the changes in living standards and

livelihoods and the restoration of the economic and social base of the DPs

B Detailed Methodology

The external monitor will use existing baseline census and survey data with their

periodic updates No later than Four weeks after the appointment by Dhaka WASA the

EMA specialist consultant must prepare and submit to Dhaka WASA and ADS the

detail plan and methodology for their monitoring activities

The external monitoring agency will perform its activity in the folowing methods

ii Identify an appropriate set of indicators for gathering and analyzing

information on resettlementrehabilitation impacts the indicators shall

include but not limited to issues like relocation of affected people

delivery of entitlement and level of satisfaction by the beneficiaries of the

programs

iii Review result of internal monitoring and verify claims through random checking

at the field level to assess whether resettlement rehabilitation objectives have

been generally met Involve the DPs and community groups in assessing the

impact of resettlement programs for monitoring and evaluation purposes

iv Conduct both individuals and community level impact analysis through

the use of formal and informal surveys key informant interviewers focus

group discussions community public meetings and in-depth case

studies of DPswomen from the various social classes to assess the

impact of RP implementation
