INTRODUCTION

At the request of the Ivorian authorities, the African Development Bank will support the implementation

of the Abidjan City Urban Transport Project (PTUA) in Côte d'Ivoire, which consists in:

(i) The construction of the 5th bridge of Abidjan linking up Yopougon to Attécoubé and its road

accesses;

(ii) The construction of the ORCA and PALMERAIE interchanges on the François Mitterrand

Boulevard ;

(iii) The development of the ring motorway Y4 (ring motorway on the straightened Boulevard de

France-Anyama including the development of crossroads, the construction of 21.3

km interchanges for Alépé, Anyama towns and the Mitterrand Boulevard);

(iv) The twinning of the eastern outgoing highway (road to the civil prison - Yopougon-Anyama

road) of 20.7 km and;

(v) The twinning of the western outgoing highway (road to Dabou) 15.9 km.

From an environmental and social standpoint, the project is classified as category 1, in view of the

nature of the work to be undertaken, project size and scope, as well as its potential direct and indirect

effects.

Rehabilitation and development project delivery for these axial highways requires expropriation for

public utility purposes, construction works, building lands, farm land, crops and trees along the road

right-of-way (road and easements). Such project will also cause harm to the means of support of some

persons situated on the right-of-way of the project. Also, in accordance with the African Development

Bank Involuntary Population Shifts Policy, the Ivorian government must develop a comprehensive

resettlement plan to ensure the compensation and resettlement of the persons affected by the project

(PAPs). Its objectives are to: (i) minimize, where possible, involuntary displacements; (ii) avoid as much

as possible property destruction and (iii) indemnify the people affected to compensate for the loss of

housing units, housing units, farmland, built-up areas and equipment, as well as the loss of income.

The RAP forming the subject of this summary focuses on:

- The construction of the 5th bridge of Abidjan linking up Yopougon to Attécoubé and its road

accesses,

- The construction of the ORCA and PALMERAIE interchanges on the François Mitterrand

Boulevard ;

- The development of the ring motorway Y4 (ring motorway on the straightened Boulevard de

France-Anyama including the development of crossroads, the construction of interchanges for

the towns of Alépé, Anyama and the Mitterrand Boulevard;

- The twinning of the eastern outgoing highway (road to the civil prison - Yopougon-Anyama

road);

- The twinning of the western outgoing highway (road to Dabou).

This RAP spells out the principles and procedures of implementation of the efforts for PAPs

compensation and resettlement and establishes an approximate budget and an indicative implementation

schedule.

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND RATIONALE & ITS ZONE OF INFLUENCE

1.1 Project description and rationale

- Justification of the project

In the context of its comprehensive policy to turn Côte d'Ivoire into an emerging country by 2020, the

Ivorian Government attached a peculiar importance to the development and strengthening of road

infrastructures. In this perspective, large-scale and nationwide construction projects of roads and bridge

infrastructure have been undertaken to relieve isolation associated with villages, connect regions and/or

departments, to improve in-city traffic conditions and to come up with an appropriate response to traffic

fluidity at the economic capital city. Therefore, the continued momentum for the living conditions

improvement of the whole of the population living in Côte d’Ivoire, the government mainstreamed into

the 2016-2020 NDP, a good number of projects including the construction of the bridge linking up the

Commune of Yopougon to that of Attécoubé, called “the 5th Bridge of Abidjan”; the construction of

ORCA and PALMERAIE interchanges on the François Mitterrand Boulevard ; the development of the

ring motorway Y4 (ring motorway on the straightened Boulevard de France-Anyama including the

development of crossroads, the construction of interchanges of Alépé, Anyama towns and the Mitterrand

Boulevard) of 21.3 km; the twinning of the eastern outgoing highway (road to the civil prison -

Yopougon-Anyama road) of 20.7 km and ; the twinning of the western outgoing highway (road to

Dabou) 15.9 km.

Construction of the 5th bridge of Abidjan linking up Yopougon to Attécoubé and its road

accesses:

This component consists in a comprehensive manner of the creation of a connection between the

Communes of Yopougon, Attécoubé and Adjamé through the construction of an express way with a

total length of 7.5 km. specifically, the project will build:

- A 2x3 lanes roadway including the development of rectification work (interchanges) at the

intersection along with the main arteries existing within Yopougon -total length= 4.025 km-;

- A toll platform over a length of 0.850 km in the area of Attécoubé;

- A 0.794 km viaduct onto the Banco bay;

- Three (3) interchanges or ramps at the intersection of the Boulevard de la Paix; Boribana

Interchange (0.603 km), - southern ramp (0.540 km), northern ramp (0.755 km);

- A 2x2 lanes roadway between the end of the interchange of Boribana and the Indénié over a

length of 0,875 km;

- A hopper (tunnel) on the Nandjui Abrogoua Boulevard;

- A development of a CENTRAL RESERVE (20 m) which will serve as a wall pocket for the

TUA2 Project.

Construction of ORCA and PALMERAIE interchanges on the François Mitterrand

Boulevard

This is the construction of 03 interchanges and the development of traffic circles described below:

5

Interchanges

The type of structure opted for is a reinforced concrete underpass similar to a frame. This frame has a

dual aperture unit with 12 m width. The access roads of a 40m wide average right-of-way in the form

of 2x3-lanes (roads adjacent to shoulders are 3.50 meters and the other 2 lanes are 3 meters wide in the

Directorate of Bingerville). Each roadway is lined with a shoulder of 2 meters in width drained by

open-air gutters, box drains or culverts in the crosswalk of the roadway. The reference speed

recommended is 80 km/h while that of arteries of penetration from nearby neighbourhoods as well as

side paths is 60 km/h.

The 03 interchanges to be built will be set at the following points:

- Carrefour “Ecole de Police” (or «Carrefour CHU»)

- Carrefour ORCA

- Carrefour Palmeraie

Traffic circles

The junctions SOTRA, Total and FAYA will be constructed in the form of traffic circles.

Development of the ring motorway Y4

This 24.3 km highway to be built is 2x2 lanes that can be widened into 2x3 lanes. The cross-section

selected shall be made up of:

- A median strip of 12m to subsequently make room for widening;

- Roadways of 2x3.5 m;

- Emergency parking shoulders of 2x2.5 m brought to 4% to resume the strengthening of the

roadway through widespread surfacing; as for a heavy road vehicle traffic exceeding 2 000

vehicles/day, it will be measuring 3m.

- Berms: 2x0.75 m at 8%.

The ring motorway will be connected to the road network by the junctions and interchanges below:

- A traffic circle on the straightened Boulevard de France, constituting the eastern end of the ring

motorway;

- A rotary interchange was built on the Mitterrand Boulevard. Crossed over by the highway

through a viaduct, this interchange designed like a hopper is a partial toll station. In fact, only

the southwards ramps are equipped with toll stations, housing three (03) corridors that support

the segment connecting the Boulevard de France straightened at the Mitterrand Boulevard. The

building of reinforced earth walls is planned to serve as a physical separation structure between

the ramps tied to the motorway and to the latter.

- An interchange on the road to Alépé, linking up the ring motorway to the road of Alépé;

- An interchange on the road of Anyama, linking up the ring motorway to a road bar of junction,

a parallel bar to the ring motorway and linking up the motorway of Abobo and the road of

Anyama. As well the interchange system will ensure all movements between the ring motorway,

the Abobo highway and the road of Anyama.

Twinning of the Eastern outgoing highway, Yopougon-Anyama (road to the civil prison)

The twinning of the Eastern outgoing highway, Yopougon-Anyama (road to the civil prison) will consist

in a comprehensive manner by its widening, modernization with a further-tailored coating to the traffic

that it supports and the construction of infrastructure to improve road safety and the living environment

(parking areas, roundabouts at major junctions, crosswalks, storm water drainage systems, street lamps,

etc…). The proposed road alignment has a total length of 22 km and includes two sections: the North

Highway Section - Large Crossroads of Anyama (approximately 17 km); and the Large Crossroads of

Anyama Section (Thomasset Toll Station with a total length of approximately 5 Km). The operation

will start in the north of the interchange with the northern highway and will come to an end at the

Thomasset Toll Station at the sub-Prefecture of Anyama at PK 22 approximately. The twinning project

in the urbanized areas will take the form of an avenue of thirty meters in width.

On the Section 1, the cross-section will be built from the outside toward the inside:

- Two sidewalks of four meters in width, demarcated by kerbstones,

- Two parking lanes of three meters in width,

- Two roadways of Sept. meters each consisting of two traffic lanes of 3.5 meters,

- A median strip of two meters in width and demarcated by kerbstones.

On the 4.2 km section bordering the Banco National Park, the cross-section will be dissymmetrical with

a total width of 25.5 meters from the West toward the East and will be as follows:

- A sidewalk of 4 meters in width,

- A parking lane of 3 meters in width,

- A roadway of 7 meters with two traffic lanes of 3.5 meters,

- A median strip of 2 meters,

- A roadway of 9.5 meters with two traffic lanes of 3.5 meters and a shoulder of 2.5 meters.

Twinning of the western outgoing highway (road to Dabou).

The twinning of the western outgoing road (road to Dabou) is 19.01 km long and in the urbanized areas

it has lit avenues of thirty meters (30) in width, with sidewalks and parking lanes. In the sections of the

open country, the project will take the form of four-lane roads with shoulders and median strip, over a

width of twenty-two (22) meters. It will be constructed in a highly urbanized area and will therefore

require involuntary displacement of the populations settled along the rights-of-way of fifty (50) meters

in the Commune of Yopougon and forty (40) meters in the Commune of Songon.

1.2 Zone of Right-of-way of the project

Location and demographics

The 5 construction sites are located within the Autonomous District of Abidjan which is the Department

of Abidjan involving ten (10) Communes of the former city of Abidjan (Adjamé, Abobo, Attécoubé,

Cocody, Koumassi, Marcory, Plateau, Port Bouët, Treichville and Yopougon) and four (4) sub-

Prefectures: Anyama, Bingerville, Brofodoumé and Songon. Endowed with a surface area of 2 119 km²

the Autonomous District of Abidjan is bordered in the North by the Commune of Agboville; in the South

by the Atlantic Ocean; in the West, by the Commune of Dabou, Jacqueville and the East, by Alépé and

Grand-Bassam. According to the data from RGPH 2014, the Autonomous District of Abidjan has a

population of 4 707 404 inhabitants including 2 373 012 women.

- Specific location of the 5th Bridge

The construction project of the crossing work for the Banco Bay (5th Bridge) and access roads is located

in the Communes of Yopougon, Attécoubé, Adjamé, and plateau. It crosses the neighbourhoods of

Mamie Faitai, Yaosséhi, Doukouré, Nouveau Quartier Extension (Commune of Yopougon); some

neighbourhoods and the Fromager village, Jean Paul 2 en Haut, Santé 3, commonly called Mossikro,

Abidjan Santé, Boribana (Commune of Attécoubé); and neighbourhoods and village of Dallas, the

Boulevard Nandjui Abrogoua, the Red Light District, Adjamé Village (Commune of Adjamé) cf. map

below.

Project area Map Sheet

- Specific location of ORCA and PALMERAIE interchanges on the François Mitterrand

Boulevard

The direct environment of layout of project infrastructure can be showcased as below:

Carrefour CHU or Ecole de Police (Police Academy)

Situated in the Commune of Cocody, the Carrefour CHU of Cocody is constituted of the intersection of

“Rue des Jardins” with the Mitterrand Boulevard, in the immediate environment of the Ecole de Police.

This crossroads is a traffic Breakdown road node for all motorists driving either to Riviera and

Bingerville, either to the II Plateaux, Cocody centre and Adjamé. The urban fabric in which the

interchange will be built is mainly a residential zone (Villas Cadres), an area of private residences and

offices (AFD, CNDHCI) and a zone of Grandes écoles (Ecole de Police, ENSEA).

Image: View of the environment of the Carrefour CHU

Carrefour SOTRA

The crossroads of the SOTRA station in Cocody is located at the junction of Mitterrand Boulevard and

the road of the Riviera Golf. Like most of the crossroads located on the Mitterrand Boulevard, this

crossroads is a place of traffic congestion - particularly at rush hours. This road node is home to large

flows of traffic from residential zones. A residential zone, a park, the SOTRA station, the area of the

FHB University and that of the Police Academy are the elements characterizing the urban environment

of the Carrefour SOTRA. It is an area relatively less congested than the other junctions on the Mitterrand

Boulevard.

Image: View of the environment of the Carrefour CHU

Carrefour ORCA DECO

The Carrefour ORCA is located at the intersection of the Mitterrand Boulevard and some Bonoumin

and RIVIERA 3 roadways. This crossroads is a place where residential area dwellers from Palmeraie,

Bingerville and RIVIERA 3 and 4 go past daily. It is home to a huge traffic of motorists and mass transit

micro buses (Gbaka) stationed there in an erratic manner. The large flow of traffic at rush hour, the

disorganized parking of the micro buses and periodic failures of traffic lights are at the origin of the

traffic bottlenecks at this crossroads.

The Carrefour ORCA appears as one of the road nodes which heavily slows down traffic in the urban

sector of Cocody-Palmeraie. The urban fabric is composed of two (2) areas of commercial activities and

8

residential zones. There are as well shopping centres and banks. Outside of road traffic, these area hosts

a large flows of pedestrians.

Image: View of the environment of the Carrefour ORCA

Crossroads of Riviera Palmeraie

The crossroads of Riviera Palmeraie is located at the intersection of the Mitterrand Boulevard and the

roads of Palmeraie and the former military camp of Akouédo. This crossroads is home to a very huge

motorist traffic with flows from the residential zones of Palmeraie and Abatta-Bingerville. The urban

environment of the crossroads of Riviera Palmeraie is marked by the presence of commercial activities

and residences.

Image: View of the environment of the Carrefour Riviera Palmeraie

Crossroads of the Total service station

In the western part of the new military camp of Akouédo, a vast residential zone emerged including the

access from the Mitterrand Boulevard has become hard to be reached due to the presence of a separator

in concrete. The urban space in which the construction of the Total traffic circle is planned (or the

ironworks crossroads) is characterized by the presence of a total gas station and an events promotion

enterprise (Espace Triangle) and a private domain under construction.

Image: View of the environment of the Carrefour TOTAL station

Carrefour FAYA

The crossroads “FAYA” is located at the junction of Mitterrand Boulevard and routes to Akouédo and

the Housing Estate Genie 2000. Like most of road nodes located on the Mitterrand Boulevard, this

crossroads is a place of congestion, particularly at rush hours. This crossroads is a place of convergence

of populations seeking to use mass transit means of transport. The environment in which the Carrefour

FAYA is located includes a residential zone (Housing Estate Genie 2000), a military camp (New military

camp of Akouédo), a mixed zone where you can find housing units and commercial activities.

Image: View of the environment of Carrefour FAYA

- Specific location of the ring motorway Y4

The ring motorway Y4 starts at the Boulevard de France straightened at the roundabout of Lycée Blaise

Pascal and shall end at the interchange of Anyama, at Thomasset crossroads. Its kerbstone is 24.3 km.

The first section of nine (09) kilometres is located southwards of the crosswalk of the Commune of

Cocody, and uses the rights-of-way originally reserved for the corridor of road Y4. The remaining 15.3

kilometres are located in the crosswalks of the Communes of Abobo and of Anyama which are relatively

less urbanized.

Specifically, the road-of-way of the project is a 70 m corridor of which the environment is as follows:

• Section for the Commune of Cocody: starts from Riviera Palmeraie (new military camp of

Akouédo) and ends in Abobo 4th extension (precisely at 1 km of the Theological Institute of the

Companions of Jesus); this section is 10.588 km long: such shantytowns as Belleville,

9

Jerusalem, Nouveau Ouaga, Soweto and Carrefour St Viateur can be noted; these

neighbourhoods are made up of flimsy housing units. We also note some commercial activities,

bare sites and of uncompleted buildings.

• Section for the Commune of Abobo: this 3.244 km section long, starts from Abobo Baoulé

4th extension to Djibi Village (precisely to the real estate transaction for BNETD retirees): You

can find farmland, vacant lots, uncompleted buildings and a cemetery.

• Section for the Commune of Anyama: it is 10.100 km long and starts from the borders of

Djibi village to the railway in Anyama RAN neighbourhood. This section is home to Greenfield

sites, farms, uncompleted buildings, housing units and commercial activities.

- Specific location of the Eastern outgoing highway, Yopougon-Anyama (road to the civil

prison)

The project area is located in the district of Abidjan, precisely in the Communes of Yopougon, Abobo

and Anyama. It is located on the axial highway Yopougon industrial area - civil prison - Carrefour

Anyama - Thomasset Toll Station.

- Specific location of the western outgoing highway (road to Dabou).

The axial highway concerned starts from the Shell Gas Station at GESCO and ends at the crossroads of

Jacqueville. This is the road which leads to Dabou. It is located exactly in the western part of the

District of Abidjan. It crosses and/or borders on the neighbourhoods at GESCO, Housing Estates Batim

1 and 3, Déapleu, Ananeraie, Bonikro, Niangon-Adjamé, and Adiopodoumé of the Commune of

Yopougon and of the communities of the municipality of Songon.

Socio-economic activities in the district of Abidjan, zone of Right-of-way of the project

The economic weight of the city of Abidjan is dominant on the other cities in Côte d’Ivoire. The

Autonomous District of Abidjan alone accounts for 40 per cent of the GDP of Côte d’Ivoire, i.e. $12.42

billion dollars, which is more than the GDP of Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea or Benin. In comparison to

other cities of Côte d’Ivoire, it is ten times more than the city of San Pedro. The Abidjan economy, by

reason of the weight of its industry and services, covers every corner of Côte d’Ivoire and beyond

national borders.

The Autonomous District of Abidjan is the most industrialized region of the national territory. Its

industries are mainly the construction industry with the presence of large international industrial groups.

Then comes the textile industry with the conditioning of the cotton seeds grown in the northern part of

the country for either export purposes or for on-site processing in the form of loincloths, canvases, batiks

and miscellaneous clothing. The very dynamic textile sector accounts for 15.6% of net investments, 13

per cent of turnover and 24% of the added value of the Ivorian industry.

There are several offshore oil wells off the east coast (Côte d’Ivoire is an oil-producing country, even if

she is not self-sufficient in this field), which entails the presence of chemical industries like oil refineries,

and a port for hydrocarbons. It should also be noted the production of precious stones and metals

dedicated for export, wood treatment activities and the agri-food industry mainly characterized by the

manufacture of palm oil, treatment of bergamots and bitter oranges, the processing of rubber wood from

plantations based in the West, the manufacture of beverages from pineapples, oranges and mangoes and

especially Robusta coffee roasting from farms in the West and for which the country is the third largest

global producer behind Colombia and Brazil as well as the packaging and processing of cocoa of which

Côte d'Ivoire is the first world producer ahead of Ghana and Indonesia. (37 per cent of cocoa and 10 per

cent of coffee products undergo at least primary processing on-site). Abidjan is also the first African

10

tuna port and three plants pack the tuna bound for the European market essentially. This activity

generates almost 3,000 job-earners, and is an important source of foreign currency.

Like the large cities of countries in the third world, Abidjan also harbours many “smaller trades”.

2. Potential Impacts

The potential impacts on the human environment and the natural setting being presented in an exhaustive

manner in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), this paragraph will only elaborate

on the impacts on human environment in terms of expropriation for the release of road rights-of-way

and construction project delivery by minimizing at most the nuisances that may arise therefrom. Special

attention will be paid to the vulnerable persons to ensure that they do not end up in a more rickety

situation.

Rights-of-way

5th Bridge

To properly develop the viaduct, access roads and shoulders, a parking lane have been defined as

follows:

- 120 meters of Yopougon Terminalias (Mamie Faitai) at Attécoubé (Santé 3 or Mossikro);

- 80 meters of Attécoubé (Boribana) at the end of the project at Adjamé Indénié.

ORCA and PALMERAIE interchanges on the François Mitterrand Boulevard

The frame has a dual-aperture unit whose width equals 12 m. The access roads of an average right-of-

way of 40m wide in 2x3 lanes (lanes adjacent to shoulders are 3.50 meters and the other 2 lanes are

3 meters wide in the Directorate of Bingerville). Each roadway is lined with a shoulder of 2 meters in

width drained by open-air gutters, box drains or culverts at the crosswalk of roadway.

Ring highway Y4

The right-of-way of the highway Y4 is a 70 m corridor.

Eastern outgoing highway, Yopougon-Anyama

The eastern outgoing twinning has a platform of more than 7 km over 120 meters in the western segment

of the project and on 40 meters to the East.

Western outgoing highway (road to Dabou)

The road to Dabou has a platform of more than 19.1 km over 50 meters in the Commune of Yopougon

and on 40 meters situated in the Commune of Songon.

Activities coupled with impacts

The preparation work for both construction sites setting up will affect several household-owners or

residential tenants, owners of commercial or craft activities and shop assistants.

The release of rights-of-way for the bridge and road accesses are the most important operations in the

context of this project, which will affect a large number of PAPs on the whole of the populations

affected by the project. These are all the persons identified on a platform of more than 7 km over 120

meters in the western section of the project and on 40 meters eastward.

The density of the road network in the various Communes crossed by the project requires the

development of diversions in view of the optimal functioning of construction sites and the mobility of

riparian populations in the project areas.

11

The opening of storage areas for substandard materials as well as the redemption remains could disrupt

the business activities of the riparian populations.

Potential Impacts of the project on the human environment

The project implementation will have both positive and negative social impacts as shown below:

Positive social impacts: the positive impacts of the project during the preparation, construction and

operation of axial highways phase are:

The creation of temporary jobs to help the young male and female local workers concerned by

ongoing construction projects and reforestation compensatory activities to generate incomes.

The creation of income-generating activities for women and young girls selling meals (donuts,

beans, porridge and meals of all kinds) next to construction sites.

The project will allow the improvement of the living conditions in facilitating the direct mobility of

more than 4 707 404 inhabitants of the District of Abidjan.

The improvement of road connections while participating as well to the promotion of national

integration.

Negative social impacts: the negative impacts on the human environment are:

The project will affect 76 445 people located in the right-of-way of the work completion of the

different road infrastructure, as indicated in the table below:

3. ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

In Côte d'Ivoire, the responsibility of the expropriation and compensation process lies with the Ministry

of Construction and Urban Planning (MCU). This ministry carried out the whole of the operations

related to the acquisition and development of land on behalf of the State of Côte d'Ivoire. It is responsible

for validating the Action and Resettlement Plan of PAPs.

The supervision of the Action Plan for the resettlement of PAPs will be provided by the Ministry of

Economic Infrastructure (MEI). Within the MEI, the corporate responsibility for the execution of the

RAP lies with the Coordination Body of PRICI. It is mandated to ensure coordination in the project area

of intervention, deliver on implementation operations related to compensatory efforts for PAPs. In an

operational way, the Coordination Unit of PRICI through its environmentalist and its social development

4. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

In accordance with the AfDB involuntary resettlement provisions, the Borrower (the State of Côte

d'Ivoire) has taken all possible measures to inform as soon as possible the persons likely to be displaced

about the aspects of the project related to the resettlement operation, and collected their opinions which

considered into the design of the project.

Also, the process of public information and consultation was based on a methodical approach that can

be broken down as follows: (i) showcase the social impacts of the project components and activities

16

which involve some impacts: Bridge, road accesses, the activities envisaged, areas of intervention, etc.),

and the compensation measures contemplated; (ii) collect the points of view, concerns and suggestions

put forward during the different sessions of the consultation of the public.

5th BRIDGE

In the context of this project, the public consultation meetings targeted the following entities: the

appropriate designated government agencies; the local elected representatives of the Communes of

Yopougon, Attécoubé and Adjamé (mayors, municipal councillors, technical directors, etc.); local

organizations (heads of villages and land, notables, neighbourhood leaders, etc.) and the persons likely

to be affected by the project. To achieve this, there are informative meetings of the prefectural,

municipal and traditional authorities, briefing sessions and inception of Surveys (ESIA and RAP), the

consultation meeting of women and the public and public inquiry.

The concerns of the PAPs have focused on several points, the most important of which are presented

as follows:

Three field missions have been organized by the Consultant with the participation of enumerators to

administer questionnaires to the persons whose assets are located in the right-of-way, officers of the

district Directorate of MINADER in Abidjan and a team of the real estate expert. This work allowed us

to identify the property located in the right-of-way and their occupants, to administer to them a

questionnaire and on the other hand, to make an inventory of the biophysical components and human

resources under the project area.

4.2 Information and awareness-raising meetings of populations

In order to involve further the populations affected by the project and to collect their various concerns,

public informative meetings were held organized at Yopougon and Abobo on Tuesday 12 January 2016,

and Anyama on Thursday 14 January 2016 respectively. Regarding the organization of this meeting, the

Consultant informed the administrative authorities, the heads of the decentralised government agencies,

the heads of neighbourhoods affected by the project and the populations. In their turn, the municipal

authorities sent notifications to the whole of the site occupiers to attend individually and collectively the

different sessions of public information, consultation and awareness of populations.

Public informative meeting at Yopougon

The concerns and expectations expressed at the end of the presentation of the project, the impacts and

mitigation measures mainly relate to the following points:

The traffic disruption caused by the work carried out in the industrial area and the risks that this

project will aggravate the situation;

The compensation process for the affected populations;

The start date and project life;

The delineation of the overall right-of-way;

The possibility to divert the road alignment to avoid built-up areas;

The identification of re-housing sites for craftsmen;

Taking into account all the persons affected whether they are on the public domain or not, or

whether they hold titles of ownership or not.

Public informative meeting in Anyama

The concerns and expectations expressed at the end of presentation of the project, the impacts and

mitigation measures mainly relate to the following points:

The issuance of titles of ownership to users by the Administration which are subsequently

revoked by other players according to the principle of occupation of the public domain;

The involvement of heads of villages and communities in the compensation process;

Access to the secondary roads during the construction projects;

The possibility of asphalting the secondary roads;

The non-visibility of the construction stakes marking the right-of-way of the project;

The setting up of noise-deflecting barriers to reduce sound nuisance that will be generated by

the forthcoming rise in vehicular traffic;

Taking into account the traffic circle planned at the entrance of the real estate transaction

ALLIANCE under the project.

In the 3 Communes, the answers brought to the various concerns by both the Consultant, the

representatives of PRICI, by the municipal officials, helped to dispel any concerns and to secure the

concurrence of the populations in respect of project execution.

4.3 Information on the project

WESTERN OUTGOING HIGHWAY (ROAD TO DABOU)

- Meeting to launch the surveys and studies

The Coordination Unit of PRICI made arrangements to inform and raise the awareness of the authorities

through the holding of inception meeting of the engineering, environmental and social studies on 30

December 2015 at the City Hall of Yopougon and on 13 January 2016 at the City Hall of Songon. These

meetings helped to provide formal information on PRICI and projects to be completed.

- Meetings with the PAPs

Meetings organized by the Consultant in the context of the carrying out of the socio-economic study and

the development of the RAP. These public meetings were initiated for clarity, transparency and rigour

purposes, coupled with objectives:

To buttress the RAP and make it progress by considering the concerns of other players;

To seek coherence of the efforts of each of the players concerned by the RAP;

To foster the involvement of the riparian populations into the RAP;

To create a climate of confidence and cooperation, to play down potential conflicts through

an objective approach.

Consequently, the events below took place:

A briefing and awareness-raising session of the populations of Yopougon on 30 December

2015 at the City Hall of Yopougon, in view of the launch of the social study. (286

participants);

A briefing and awareness-raising session of the population of Yopougon on 07 January

2016, from 10h to 12h 30 at the City Hall Engineering Department, on the actual start of

the markings for the built-up areas that are located in the right-of-way of the project. (350

participants);

A briefing and awareness-raising session of the populations of Songon on 07 January

2016, 15h 10 to 16h 20 at the sub-Prefecture of Songon, on the arrangements for the start

of the social study, the project rights-of-way (50 participants).

During each of the meetings, the project description, the right-of-way of 50 meters to release, the content

of the RAP, its economic, social, cultural, environmental issues and the procedures of its implementation

were presented.

It transpired from these meetings, the willingness of the persons affected by the Project to release the

right-of-way of the project while recalling the support for their resettlement on new sites to continue

their economic activities.

5. INTEGRATION WITH THE HOST COMMUNITIES

Based on the formal meetings between the authorities, the host communities and the persons affected

by the Project, arrangements will be made for the integration and community involvement of the persons

to be resettled. Special attention will be given to vulnerable groups such as social misfits, ethnic

minorities, the non-nationals and gender.

The people who will lose their school enrolment or their jobs in the context of this displacement, will

benefit from a resettlement and rehabilitation program which will take into account their wishes and

their current social situation.

24

Based on the results of the supplementary socio-economic study, the equipment and infrastructure

necessary to the improvement of the new living environment of displaced persons will be implemented.

Supportive measures for the operation of these infrastructures and equipment will be contemplated

taking into account also the needs of the host communities.

Year and reason for settlement of the household on the project site: All the households surveyed

will be settled on the rights-of-way dedicated to the Project since 1920 for the first occupant. This

settlement gradually changed until the decade 2001-2010 where it recorded the highest setting up rate

(35% of cases). This trend is maintained during the decade until 2016 despite a slight decline. The main

reasons for settlement stated by households boil down to:

- Economic interests as for 49% (4236 cases), related to market proximity where they carry on their

activities.

- Family reasons as for 47% (4062 cases) substantiated by the location of their place of residence on

the site;

- 4% (346 cases) are based in their community of origin.

6.2.2 Occupancy status

Occupation of housing units: almost all the households identified, namely 7817, i.e. 90% are

residential tenants against only 8% of homeowners and 2% of recipients of free housing. The following

table provides the details of their Breakdown per commune.

Land Status: Most of the 713 heads of household owners of the identified built-up areas declared to be

owners of the plots on which their dwellings are built, without producing any genuine titles of

ownership. The main methods of acquisition indicated are the traditional sector. It should be noted in

the Communes of Yopougon and Attécoubé, the plots had previously been set aside by the State. In

these conditions, the production of any title of ownership would seem illegal in the absence of any

official justification.

27

6.2.3 Economic situation of the PAPs

Professional activities: Most of heads of household identified (6050, or 70%) practices a profession:

trade and crafts. Public and private employees account for 20%. Pensioners, students and the

unemployed account for 10% of the heads of household identified.

Places of business: The great majority of active heads of household identified (80%) engage their

activities in the Communes crossed by the Project, namely Yopougon, Adjamé and Attécoubé. The other

destinations outside of these communes, account for 20% close to the right-of-way of the project.

Economic activities and jobs affected: the main economic activities identified in the rights-of-way of

the bridge and of the road accesses are mainly trade, crafts and services. The Breakdown of 1776

managers identified in the three municipalities is as follows:

- Commune of Yopougon: 424 persons;

- Commune of Attécoubé: 376 persons;

- Commune of Adjamé: 976 people.

As a whole, the Commune of Adjamé is home to more than half of the commercial activities focussing

on the sale of various items in shops (hardware stores, supermarkets, shops of cosmetics, clothing, etc.)

and catering (restaurants, chop bars, pubs and bars, bakeries, etc.).

The monthly turnovers declared by traders and craftsmen range from 15 000 (small shopkeepers and

craftsmen) to 100 000 000 CFA F in terms of large-scale activities. The total amount of monthly turnover

figures reported by traders and craftsmen amounts to more than 150 billion CFAF. We note that the

activities with relatively high turnover figures are drugstores, restaurant-chop bars, hardware stores,

service stations, etc.

In total, 5 328 business enterprise employees and craftsmen have been identified amidst 1 776 activities.

The total payroll declared monthly by employers amounted to 532 800 00 CFAF. Monthly salaries range

from 15 000 to 2 000 000 CFAF.

6.2.4 The buildings affected

In total, 3 904 built-up areas have been identified in the direct right-of-way of the bridge and of the

access roads. They can be broken down as follows:

- 2001 built-up areas in the Commune of Yopougon;

- 956 built-up areas in the Commune of Attécoubé;

- 947 built-up areas in the Commune of Adjamé.

Type of construction and nature of materials: the built-up areas identified are individual constructed

works, common blocks of apartments and storeyed buildings. Most of identified built-up areas

constructed with permanent materials.

Function or use: The buildings identified in the right-of-way of the project are used predominantly

for commercial purposes (60% of cases) and accommodation purposes (30%). The remaining 10%

are used as community/public facilities.

Value of the constructed works: the property evaluation carried out by the Consultants-EGIS

International- and BNETD estimate the overall cost at 25 251 086 485 CFA F.

ORCA AND PALMERAIE INTERCHANGES ON THE FRANÇOIS MITTERRAND BOULEVARD

The project will affect in total, 63 economic operators, 01 homeowner, 317 employees, 03 owners of

rented building and 13 land owners.

28

6.1 Socio-economic profile of individuals identified

The socio-economic survey carried out by the BNETD in the right-of-way of the project spells out the

socio-economic characteristics of the populations in the different sections. These characteristics are

outlined below.

6.1.1 The owners of housing units

These are people who reside in the direct right-of-way of the project. In total, 06 homeowners have been

identified, including one (01) precisely in the direct right-of-way of the interchange at the crossroads

“Ecole de Police”. This Ivorian owner of housing is an unemployed widow, aged 70, resident since 1970

at the district called “Villas Cadres” adjacent to the right-of-way of the infrastructure and care three

dependants. Her housing is built on a land of 2000 m2. It is made up of solid materials (hard cement)

and includes a total of 08 rooms. It is connected to the electrical and drinking water supply systems.

This housing is affected in part by the project, including at the level of its 2.8 m high fence and 59 m

long.

6.1.2 Economic operators

93 economic operators have been identified in the right-of-way of the project. Most of them are settled at

ORCA (77% of cases) and PALMERAIE (13% of cases) junctions.

Only, 63 economic operators out of the whole identified (68%) have actually been interviewed1. They

are predominantly of Ivorian nationality (57% of cases). Non-nationals, however, account for a

significant proportion of 43%, of which 25% are from ECOWAS countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger,

Nigeria and Benin) and 18% of Arab countries (Lebanon, Morocco, etc.). In addition there are among

them 10 who are engaged in formal activities.

67% of the business people are men and 33% are women. Most of them set up on the Mitterrand

Boulevard due to the economic appeal aroused by the strong urbanization of the area and the proximity

of the customers coming from the riparian neighbourhoods.

26% obtain primarily their supply of goods, on the spot from SOCOPRIX in Riviera Palmeraie or in the

markets of the Commune of Cocody.

The monthly turnover figures reported by the economic operators vary from 30 000 CFAF and 74

million CFAF. As a whole, they amount to 221 940 000 CFAF. The financial evaluation in progress

will help analyse in detail, the income reported by the shop managers.

Almost all carry out their activities in the closed buildings (58 or 92%) of which 95% (55 cases) are

tenants, against 5% (03) who reported to be owners. The construction costs reported by the owners vary

from 50 000 CFAF to 12 million CFAF, with a total value of 17 480 000 CFAF. With regard to

the monthly rental incomes reported by the tenants, they vary from 20,000 CFAF to 4 500 000 CFAF, a

total of 22 234 525 CFAF.

6.1.3 Employees associated with economic activities

The economic operators surveyed, reported 317 employees, of whom 250 have been identified (the

remaining 67 were absent at the time of the survey). The wages paid to them vary from 10 000 CFAF 5

1 The 30 remaining operators (or 32%) were absent and/or unavailable at the time of the socio-economic survey.

29

million CFAF, i.e. a total payroll of 31 882 160 CFAF.

6.1.4 The owners of rented buildings

Unlike household-owners of built-up areas, this category of owners of buildings do not dwell in the said

buildings located in the right-of-way of the construction project. There were 03 of them whose built-up

areas are located respectively at Palmeraie (01) and FAYA (02) junctions. They are the owners of

commercial, rented buildings which provides them with a monthly overall income of 10 473 875 CFAF.

6.1.5 Owners of plots

These are holders of title of ownership on the private lands affected by the project. The census survey

counted 13 of whom 09 (or 69%) have been surveyed; the remaining 04 being absent or unavailable at

the time of the census survey. The 09 respondents declared all to be owners of the plots concerned that

they purchased. However, only 03 have produced at this stage of the study, documents or legal affidavits

authenticating their title deed, including land ownership certificates.

6.2 Characteristics of itemized assets

6.2.1 Private lots

The project will impact in total 13 private lots. The areas concerned vary from 6 m2 to 2 123

m2; all being evaluated at 3 194.06 m2, distributed in the following table between the different

junctions.

that the whole of these lots are built and occupied including 03 by government agencies such as: the

Ecole de Police-Police Academy- and a department of the Ministry of Education at the

crossroads Ecole de Police and the Felix Houphouët Boigny University at the SOTRA

crossroads. According to the findings of the socio-economic survey conducted among the owners of

the plots affected, the acquisition price varies from 25 000 to 50 000 CFA F per square meter.

It is necessary to indicate that most of these built-up areas are for commercial use (57%). They however

include the above-mentioned public infrastructure, namely the Ecole de Police and the FHB University.

The built-up areas identified are or encompass permanent constructed works including one like a R+1

building at the crossroads of Palmeraie. The total value of built heritage appraised is 592 209 300 CFAF.

The detail of the estimates per building is appended in this report.

6.2.3 Economic activities

The main economic activities surveyed and located in the right-of-way of the project have been

classified by type into three categories, namely:

a) Commercial Activities

They shall point to any purchase and sale transaction without prior processing of the product purchased.

They encompass the sale of various items in shop comprising hardware, supermarkets, shops of

cosmetics, clothing, automotive spare parts, etc. 38 outlets of economic activity of this type have been

identified. As a result of the unavailability of managers, only 27 commercial activities were investigated.

b) Craft activities

These are defined as any activity of manufacturing of handicraft objects, or products made by hand other

than food and intended for sale (example: carpentry, dressmaking, hairdressing,

mechanics, photography, etc.). 14 economic activities of this type have been identified.

c) Activities related to services

31

They include the whole of the service-related activities delivery other than trade and craft industries,

namely catering activities (chop bars, pubs/bars, coffee kiosk, bakeries, etc.), health facilities

(pharmacy, private clinic, etc.), bank agencies, money transfers, insurance companies, mobile telephone

corporations, laundries or dry cleaner, printers, bookstores, etc. 35 economic activities of this type have

been identified. As a result of the unavailability of managers, only 22 commercial activities have been

investigated. The table below summarizes the strength of economic operators identified per type of

activity.

Source: socio-economic survey/census survey, BNETD/DEAH, February 2016

Most of economic activities (51%) are carried out informally. The monthly turnover figures reported are

lower than 1 million CFAF for most of the operators concerned. They employ on the average 01 person

by activity. But a relatively huge proportion of these activities (49%) is formal and regularly relative to

the tax authorities. These activities have a given scope characterized by a relatively large number of

employees (9 people on the average) and a rather high monthly turnover (7 million CFAF on average).

Among these activities, you can list gas stations, hardware stores, money transfer services, etc. It should

be noted that on the whole of the activities concerned, only 05 are likely to be relocated from their

current site, including the supermarket CASH Ivoire and the bakery at the crossroads of

Palmeraie; the TOTAL gas station at the TOTAL crossroads and one hardware store and a

supermarket at the crossroads FAYA.

6.4 Socio-economic profile of individuals identified

The socio-economic survey carried out by BNETD in the right-of-way of the project spells out the socio-

economic characteristics of the populations in the different sections. These characteristics are outlined

below.

- Owners of housing

For accuracy purposes, homeowners are identified as the people who reside in the direct right-of-way

of the project. In total, 1 105 homeowners have been identified in the right-of-way of the motorway,

including 1 036 in Cocody section (or 94%) and 69 in the Anyama section. It should be noted that no

household has been identified at the crossing of the Commune of Abobo.

The vast majority of owners of housing are Ivorian nationals (90%), but they cohabit with some

insignificant proportion of non-nationals (10%) mostly originating in the sub-sub-Saharan region,

particularly from ECOWAS countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, Benin, etc.).

Their setting up on the project site was done since 1958 for the first inhabitant, and continued until 2016,

with a high occupancy rate between 2010 and 2015. They have therefore built interpersonal relations.

The total number of people living with these owners of housing is 2 819, i.e. an average of about 03

persons by owner. This population is composed of 898 children identified under the age group from 0

to 18 years, among whom 802 are educated (or 89% of enrolment rate) including 43 attending preschool

education, 450 in primary education, 234 at secondary education and 56 pursuing graduate studies.

It is important to point out regarding the students enrolled at the preschool and primary education, that

they are attending schools located in close proximity to their places of residence, including school groups

Anyama RAN, Akéikoi, Adja Touré in the Commune of Anyama, the primary schools at the military

camps (former and new) of Akouédo and Palmeraie in the Commune of Cocody.

74% of the owners of housing identified (822 cases) are men, against 283 (26%) women. Homeowners

mostly live as married couples (762 or 66%), with the exception of 03 who are divorced, 317 singles

and 23 widowers. The latters are at the head of single-parent families for which they alone meet the

needs; which makes them rightly vulnerable.

The owners of housing identified, have under their responsibility 229 vulnerable persons, including

under-one children (74 cases), heavily pregnant women (51 cases), the elderly over 70 years of age (06

cases), persons with physical disabilities (08 cases), jobless family heads (90 cases),

including housewives (13 cases) who meet all alone the needs of their families.

Most of homeowners identified (913, or 82%) are engaged in a profession: 13 are of government

workers, 439 operate in the private sector, 374 are traders, 09 are farmers and 78 are craftsmen. The

unemployed who are 90 (or 8%) consist of pupils, students, homemakers, religious leaders and retirees.

The monthly income reported by the active owners of housing are between 100 000 CFAF and 6 million

CFAF, all in all valued at more than 120 million CFAF.

Most of homeowners identified (87%) reside in individual dwellings with several rooms. Their housing

units are mostly built in rickety wood (planks) made up of an assembly of planks covered with plastic

film (694 cases or 63%), with the exception of a few (281 cases or 25%) built in hard and modern

materials (brick-cement, metal sheet, etc.).

33

Most of homeowners identified (610 or 55%) are tenants of the housing units they occupy, against 42%

who are owners and 2% are recipients of free housing2.

The costs of acquisition and/or construction of dwellings reported by owners vary from 60 000 CFAF

to 200 million CFAF, i.e. a total declared value estimated at more than 1 billion CFAF. With regard to

the rental incomes reported by the tenants, they vary from 8 000 CFAF to 125 000 CFAF. The total

value is 10 028 500 CFAF.

- Economic operators

One hundred and thirteen (113) economic operators have been identified in the right-of-way of the

project, including 93 in the section of Cocody, 19 in that of Anyama and 01 in the section of Abobo.

These consist owners of commercial (65), craft (20), service-related (28) activities and of farms

(unidentified).

Most of these economic operators are Ivorian nationals (55%); however the proportion of non-nationals

(45%) originating from ECOWAS countries, is relatively huge. Men account for 67% of cases

against 33% of women. Most of them set up due to the economic appeal aroused by the strong

urbanization of the zone and the proximity of their places of residence.

Most of the business people surveyed (72 cases or 63%, with the exception of farmers) secure they

supplies in goods and inputs outside the project area, especially in the other Communes of the

Autonomous District of Abidjan, and outside of that District or even abroad (21 cases or 19%).

The main markets targeted are those in Anyama, Abobo and Angré (COCOVICO). Also, supermarkets

specializing in the bulk sale such as SOCOPRIX in Riviera Palmeraie, CASH Ivoire, etc., are the local

supply points of business managers.

The monthly turnover figures reported by respondents vary between 4 000 and 1 910 000 CFA F. They

amount as a whole to 18 733 665 CFAF.

- Employees related to economic activities

The respondent-economic operators reported working with a total staff of 166 persons

including 88 salaried employees, i.e. an average of 03 persons per activity.

The wages paid to the latter vary from 7 000 CFAF to 350 000 CFAF, accounting for a total registered

payroll of 5 414 00 CFAF, i.e. an average of approximately 61 523 CFAF/employee.

- The non-resident owners of built-up areas

Unlike the heads of households-owners of built-up areas, this category of owners does not occupy the

built-up areas concerned and/or reside outside the project area. They are the owners of rented or

uncompleted constructed works. In total, 1 049 have been numbered. They are the owners of

accommodation buildings, buildings for commercial use and used as facilities. 481 of them earn a

monthly income from the rental of their built-up area, estimated all in all at 11 418 500 CFA franc.

2 They occupy dwellings with no rental expenses; the owner being in most cases a parent or an acquaintance.

34

- Owners of plots

These are holders of titles of ownership on the private lands affected by the project. The survey helped

us to identify 391 including 333 owners of house lots and 58 vacant lots.

They all declare to be owners of the lots concerned which were acquired mainly by way of purchase

(75% of cases). The documents or administrative acts produced to testify to their title deed are letters of

award and provisional concession decisions (ACP) and/or final concession decisions (ACD). The costs

of acquisition in m2 reported by the owners vary as follows according to the sections:

- Cocody: between 15 000 CFAF and 50 000 CFAF/m2, with 15 000 CFAF and 30 000 CFAF in

the sector of Cocody Angré and 30 000 to 50 000 CFAF at Riviera Palmeraie;

- Abobo: between 5 000 CFAF/ m2;

- Anyama: between 4 000 CFAF and 4 500 CFAF/ m2.

These unit costs are confirmed by the sworn designated government agencies, including the Land

Registry and Land Management Agency (AGEF).3

6.5 Characteristics of itemized assets

- Privately-owned Land

The roadway on the ring motorway to be built is 24 km long and 70 m wide, end-to-end. It will thus

have a total surface area equivalent to 1 680 000 m², of which 315 000 m² constitute the land reserve

dedicated to the layout of Y4 or bypass highway. The remaining 1 365 000 m² are privately-owned built

and/or unbuilt land, originating from modern and/or rural building plots approved or being approved by

MCU.

In total, 447 private lots have been identified during the socio-economic survey on this last perimeter.

It should be noted however that this quantity is not exhaustive, and subject to the identification of

supplementary unidentified lots due to their non-materialization on the ground and to the absence of the

owners. The areas of 447 lots concerned vary from 100 m2 to 1360 m2; the all assessed 317 399 m2,

distributed in the following table between the different sections of the project.

Besides these urban private lands, you can add the lands of Djibi village that are still governed by

customary law. A total area of approximately 28 000 m2 will be affected by the project.

- The Buildings

In total, 1 573 built-areas have been identified in the direct right-of-way of the project, including 1 272

in the section of Cocody, 05 in Abobo and 296 in Anyama.

The built-up areas identified are composed of individual constructed works (1341), buildings (10) and

row type houses (177). They are used predominantly for housing purposes (1149, i.e. 73%). 174 are

however of uncompleted buildings, 84 are foundations, 55 are fences, 101 are places of business, 10

harbour equipment (churches, cemetery, boreholes).

3 Approved agency specializing in the development of serviced land in Côte d’Ivoire.

35

Almost all the identified built-up areas are constructed with shoddy materials (1 010 cases, i.e. 64%)

against 35% (or 543) in solid materials. The remaining 1% (or 19 built-up areas) are metal boxes.

The total market value of the appraised man-made heritages is 5 086 551 710 CFAF.

- Economic activities

The main economic activities surveyed in the right-of-way of the project have been classified by type

into three categories, namely:

a) Commercial Activities

They shall designate any purchase and sale transaction without prior processing of the product

purchased. They include the sale of various items in shop composed of hardware stores, supermarkets,

shops of cosmetics, clothing, automotive spare parts, etc. 65 outlets of economic activity of this type

have been identified.

b) Craft activities

These are defined as any activity of manufacturing of handicraft objects or products made by hand other

than food and intended for sale (example: carpentry, dressmaking, hairdressing,

mechanics, photography, etc.). 20 economic activities of this type have been identified.

c) Service-related activities

They include the bulk of service delivery activities other than trade and craft industries, namely catering

activities (chop bars, pubs/bars, coffee kiosk, bakeries, etc.), health facilities (pharmacy, private clinic,

etc.), bank agencies, money transfers, insurance companies, mobile telephone corporations, laundries or

dry cleaner, printers, bookstores, etc. 28 economic activities of this type have been identified.

d) Agricultural activities

Some plantations including 03 of palm trees, a (01) of rubber tree and food crop (Plantain banana,

cassava, corn, pepper, eggplant, etc.) have been identified in some places all along the alignment in the

right-of-way of the project, particularly in the sections of Cocody and Abobo.

- Equipment and facilities

Nine (09) facilities are affected by the project : a school of 36 classes under construction and scheduled

to open its doors at the forthcoming academic year 2016-2017; the cemetery of Djibi village; a borehole

dug by SODECI supplying the water tower in Angré and 06 faith-based buildings.

6.6 Socio-economic profile of the persons affected

6.6.1 Breakdown of persons affected depending on the profession

Various professions involve the persons affected by the Project. Most of them operate in the informal

sector, are pensioners, including regular farmers, free-marketeers and civil servants. The analysis of the

surveys conducted highlighted the fact that apart from factories, faith-based institutions and service

stations, most of the PAPs, i.e. 68% operate in the informal sector, then come next farmers/cattle

breeders who account for 19%.

36

6.6.2 Nationality of the persons affected

The persons affected by the Project are of various nationalities with a strong dominance of Ivorians who

are 79% of the whole. You can note to a lesser extent the presence of a segment of people originating

from ECOWAS countries (Burkina Faso, Niger and Nigeria) which accounts for 19% and Mauritania

(2%). However, it should be noted that the nationality of 48.9% of the persons affected could not be

identified.

6.6.3 Breakdown of the persons affected depending on the educational level

Almost 54% of the persons affected by the Project having a level of academic achievement ranging from

primary to higher education. We also have a relatively high proportion of unschooled persons up to 22%

and people who attended Koranic schools up to 24%.

6.7 Nature and use of property affected

The property affected by the Yopougon-Anyama Road Twinning Project are divided into five (5)

categories, namely, the housing built in hard materials, farms, shacks, the bare sites and temporary

facilities such as auto storages and informal stations.

Most of the property affected by the project (65%) are built-up areas that are divided into apartment

houses or buildings for commercial use, fences of plants and religious buildings and places of worship.

The second category of property affected are farms of which 17% are located in the right-of-way. These

are essentially cocoa and banana plantations in Anyama and a wooded area of artificial teak in

Yopougon.

We also have temporary facilities (9%) consisting of auto storages, brick sellers, car wash, makeshift

stations, etc. and lands not yet developed (2%).

It transpires from the analysis of Table 8 that in the three (3) municipalities concerned, many assets

located in the right-of-way of the project are shops (37%), farmland (17%), businesses and factories

(16%), craftsmen (11%) and housing units (9%). There are also locations of pig farming (5%), places

of worship (4%) and bare sites (1%).

6.8 Property ownership status and desired compensation method

6.8.1 Breakdown of PAPs according to occupancy status

The persons affected by the Project are divided into owners and tenants. In the context of this project,

we have 56% of the interviewees who are claiming to be owners of the affected property while 44% are

tenants (see table).

6.8.2 Desired compensation method

As shown in the table below, in the three (3) municipalities concerned, the PAPs altogether desire (57%)

that the compensation to be paid in cash directly to them rather than in kind (re-housing). This trend is

noted in the Communes of Yopougon and Abobo where a large proportion of respectively 72% and

90%, is in support of a cash compensation. In the Commune of Anyama, the tendency is rather the

opposite. Indeed, a majority of 56% of the persons affected by the Project simply desire to be resettled.

6.9 Socio-economic profile of women affected by the project

Of the 94 PAPs associated with the Yopougon-Anyama Twining Road Project, 12 are women

(approximately 13%). These women can be divided into the three (3) Communes of Abobo, Anyama

and Yopougon where they account for 10, 14 and 11% respectively.

The situation of women affected by the project will be presented according to their marital status, level

of education and profession.

Situation of women affected according to their Marital Status

In terms of the marital status of women affected, we can record an Ivorian retired widow aged 55 and

residing in the Commune of Yopougon with Sept. (7) dependants. Given her condition of vulnerability,

specific measures of support and follow-up should be taken to improve her living conditions in the

context of the implementation of the RAP.

On the other hand, it would be appropriate to indicate that most of the women or 67% live together as

husband and wife while 22% are single and 11%, married.

More than half of the women affected by the project, that is 56% are educated. But, it should be noted

that this figure conceals the disparities noted in each Commune in the sense that, if in Yopougon women

are educated, respectively 100% and 60% of those living in Abobo and Anyama are not.

6.1 Socio-economic profile of the persons set up in the right-of-way

The socio-economic survey carried out in the right-of-way of the project, spells out the socio-economic

characteristics of the populations in the different sections. These characteristics are outlined in this

document.

6.1.1 Households

In total 501 households have been identified in the direct right-of-way of the project in the various

sections. These are 251 households in the section of Yopougon and 250 households in the section of

Songon who have actually been identified to date. Approximately 250 heads of household are still

unreachable and unavailable to take part in the census survey operations.

In the two sections, the following stakeholders were identified: 202 tenants and 19 owners of buildings

in Yopougon, and 159 tenants and 91 homeowners in Songon.

The total population identified within these households is 4 008 persons, that is an average of 8 people

per household.

40

6.1.2 Managers of commercial activities

In total, 1158 managers of commercial and craft activities have been identified in the rights-of-way.

These managers live mainly in the project area. The commercial activities carried out by these managers

were classified into three categories:

- The major activities are: pharmacies, hotels, service stations, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. that

set up in a formal way in the project rights-of-way ;

- The medium sized activities are: shops, garages, dressmaking shop, barber and hairdressing

shop, sale points of mobile telephony, etc. which are legally set up in the project rights-of-way

;

- Smaller activities: These are activities set up informally in makeshift shelters (telephone booths,

sales of details, food supplies and various products).

- Precisely in hotel industry.

The choice of the location of their activities is based on the existence of potential customers and the

proximity with the dwelling place. They set up on the project site between 2000 and 2014.

6.1.3 Owners of crops

In total, 16 fields of cassava, 1 field of plantain, 3 fields of corn, 4 farms of rubber-tree under cultivation

and 3 farms of rubber-tree have been identified in the right-of-way of the project. Almost all the owners

dwell in the neighbourhoods and villages bordering the contemplated road.

6.1.4 The Non-Residents Owners of built-up areas (PNR)

Unlike household-owners of built-up areas, this category of owners of built-up areas does not dwell in

the built-up areas concerned. These are owners of rented or uncompleted constructed works (houses and

shops). In total, 145 PNR have been identified, of whom 90 are in the section of Yopougon. The rental

incomes in force in the project area will vary depending on the type of construction, the number of rooms

and use. So in terms of housing, the prices charged are on average:

- Apartment block: 25 000 CFA F;

- Low-cost row type houses: 30 000 CFA F;

- Building: 90 000 CFA F;

- Individual constructed works in wood: 10 000 CFA F;

- Individual constructed works in hard materials: 20 000 CFA F.

For commercial activities, the prices charged are on the average the following:

- row type houses: 30 000 CFA F;

- Building: 50 000 CFA F;

- Individual constructed works in wood: 15 000 CFA F;

- Individual constructed works in hard materials: 25 000 CFA F;

- Metal constructed works: 15 000 CFA F.

On the whole these are economic constructed works apart from buildings and some permanent

constructed works.

6.1.5 Equipment manager

In total, twenty-nine (29) equipment have been identified in the project rights-of-way. These are 8

markets of food crops, 8 mosques, 7 churches, 4 cemeteries and 2 public primary schools.

6.2 Inventories of property in the right-of-way

6.2.1 Land

Most of land operated by the owners of built-up areas are located astride the public domain of the State

and the rural field in the section of Yopougon. At the level of the Section of Songon these are essentially

of rural building plots. It should be noted that the building plots identified in the project rights-of-way

are mostly in the process of being approved by the Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning.

6.2.2 Built-up areas

1473 built-areas have been identified including 18 buildings. These are the various types constructed

with materials ranging from permanent to makeshift ones. The table below indicates the characterization

of the built-up areas.

Setting up period on the project site

Most of the persons affected by the Project set up in the right-of-way of the project as from the year

2000. According to the results of the socio-economic study, nearly 80% of the managers of economic

activities set up in the right-of-way of the project from 2006 to 2015.

6.3 Vulnerable groups

The vulnerable groups consist of:

Single-parent families in which the family head is a woman;

Persons with a physical or mental disability;

People with serious diseases and who may be denied of access to care for economic

reasons;

For isolated seniors or on the contrary children without families;

Children of tender age;

Heavily pregnant women.

The persons listed above can be made even more vulnerable on the occasion of a displacement operation.

The Project Unit will be staffed with a social worker with the NGOS to provide specific assistance to

vulnerable groups before, during and after displacement with the following objectives:

Register the vulnerable persons identified within of the persons affected by the Project;

To ensure that no household headed by a woman eligible for compensation is excluded;

To ensure that the allowances actually reach their recipients by avoiding intermediaries;

To provide assistance during the actual displacement (assistance in the transport of

patients, disabled people, elderly people, pregnant women or mothers of very young

children, etc.);

Check that all displaced vulnerable people will get a shelter following the displacement.

7 LEGAL FRAMEWORK, INCLUDING THE MECHANISMS FOR THE SETTLEMENT

OF DISPUTES AND APPEAL

The legal framework for the development and implementation of the RAP takes into account legal and

political provisions of Côte d’Ivoire on the one hand and the other one the requirements related to the

AfDB policy on involuntary displacement of populations and expropriation.

7.1 Policy and regulatory framework at national level

7.1.1 General Policy Framework

- Decentralization policy

A decentralization policy was put in place and complied with by the Ministry of State, Ministry of and

Security (ME-MIS). By kick-starting the process of decentralisation and regionalisation, the Ivorian

Government globally aims to: (i) ensure power sharing between the State and the local communities,

(ii) empower the population in the management of her development, (iii) instil grassroots democracy,

(iv) enshrine a new approach based on participatory development.

43

- Poverty alleviation policy

The National Development Plan (NDP) mainstreams the improvement of the living conditions of the

populations by environmental remediation, acceleration of economic growth and the transformation of

the Ivorian economy, human capital, the economic and social balance and fiscal balance under the

Government’s priorities.

The objectives of growth under the NDP were to achieve a rate of growth of 8.1% in 2012, 9% in 2013,

10.1% in 2014 and 10% in 2015. A growth rate of approximately 10% on the average over the period

2012-2015. The NDP 2016-2020 will help Côte d’Ivoire to achieve emergence by 2020.

- Policy to achieve gender equality and women empowerment

Côte d’Ivoire is committed towards the implementation of the promotion of gender equality at all levels

and in all sectors of activities, including as well in the availability and accessibility of goods and

services.

7.1.2 Legal and Regulatory National Framework

Several enactment laws and regulations, including the following, shall be enforced through the

implementation of the RAP.

Environmental Code

The Act Nº 96-766 of 3 October 1996 establishing the Environmental Code is an enactment

encompassing the whole of the definitions and general principles applicable to environmental

conservation in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire. It stipulates under its article 13 (Title II), that any activity

likely to affect the quality of water intended for human consumption is prohibited or may be regulated

within the protection perimeters provided for in Article 15 (Title IV).

Expropriation law based on public utility

In the context of the implementation of projects of general interest, the Administration is under the

obligation to expropriate people from private property. This procedure is governed in Côte d'Ivoire by

the Decrees of 25 November 1930 and of 15 November 1935 regulating the expropriation based on

public utility respectively for the land subject to the land tenure under the Civil Code or registration and

in respect of customary land. These enactments indicate that expropriation cannot be granted, unless this

is for reasons of public utility and coupled with a fair and prior compensation.

Decree regulating the redemption on the customary rights of the soil

In the context of the expropriation procedure based on public utility, the Decrees of 25 November 1930

regulating expropriation based on public utility, Decree Nº 71-74 of 16 February 1971 relating to

procedures for private estates and land and Decree Nº 2014-25 of 22 January 2014 regulating the

redemption on customary rights of the soil, help to mitigate the adverse impacts on the rights of native

peoples. This applies to lands held based on customary rights, whether developed or not and included

into the perimeter of the planning program or development operations of general interest whose

delineation will be done subject to an order issued by the Minister for urban planning. Under article 4

of this decree, the redemption on customary rights on soils entitles the holders of such rights to

compensation, including a cash or in-kind compensation. An Administrative Commission set up for the

said operation shall be responsible to identify the lands concerned and their holders and to calculate

allowances and compensation (Article 5).

Decree laying down the rules for compensation of crops

Decree Nº 95-817 of 29 September 1995 specifies the whole of the applicable procedure and the

calculation of the scale of compensation for crops (Serial nº 4028 of 12 March 1996).

44

7.2 Regulatory framework of the African Development Bank in force

Project execution must meet the requirements of the in-built backup system (SSI) through these five

operational back-ups:

Operational Safeguard 1: environmental and social assessment;

Operational Safeguard 2: involuntary resettlement - Land acquisition, displacement and

compensation of the populations;

Operational Safeguard 3: biodiversity and ecosystem services;

Operational Safeguard 4: pollution prevention and control, greenhouse gases, hazardous materials

and efficient use of resources;

Operational Safeguard 5: working conditions, health and safety.

The other relevant policies and guidelines of the Bank shall remain applicable as soon as they are

triggered under the SSI. These are mainly:

The Bank’s Gender Policy (2001) – Gender Strategy of the AfDB Group, 2014-2018 (2014) ;

Consolidated commitment Framework of with civil society organizations (2012);

Policy of dissemination and access to information (2012);

Handbook on Stakeholder Consultation and Participation in the Bank’s operations (2001)

The Bank’s Policy on Population and Implementation Strategy (2002);

Environmental and social assessment procedures for the Bank’s operations (2015).

Follow-up must also deal with all the

social and environmental impact

indicators which have been deemed

essential at the stages of identification and

preparation of the project.

7.3 Process for the management of complaints and conflicts

There is a need to set up a mechanism providing for remedies, which will help to effectively manage

any arising complaint made by the PAPs. The remedies are shown below.

7.3.1 Amicable settlement of disputes

The preferred option for the settlement of different cases of complaints and grievances recorded and

those who can step in as part of this RAP is the amicable settlement. To this end, the following

mechanism will be opted for.

- The Implementation Unit of the RAP

Within the IU-RAP, an NGO is designated to collect the complaints and grievances of the persons

affected by the Project. The IU-RAP shall review the query in the first place, and, if need be, it shall

46

seek the opinion of the Follow-up Committee. The person shall then be called for an amicable settlement.

In case disagreement, the request will be forwarded to the Follow-up Committee.

During the identification of PAPs, a procedure for the settlement of claims under the auspices of an

NGO was put in place. During the negotiations, the complaints recorded by the IU-RAP will be

processed within five working days and the minutes of the findings will be prepared.

- The Follow-up Committee

The IU-RAP shall submit to the Follow-up Committee all complaints, grievances and claims that it

failed to deal with. The Follow-up Committee, after review, shall convene the person concerned for

amicable bargaining. The Follow-up Committee has five business days to handle complaints.

In case of failure, after exhaustion of all amicable bargaining remedies, the complainant may refer to

the appropriate courts.

In any case, the Implementation Unit of the RAP and the Follow-up Committee in charge of mediation

shall develop a conciliatory approach to preserve the rights and interests of each Party. The amicable

settlement is the only solution sought by the Follow-up Committee.

7.3.2 Settlement of disputes through legal action (cf. Decree of 25 November 1930)

Judicial mechanism in accordance with the provisions of the 1930 Decree

According to this Decree, the owner involved in an expropriation procedure may in the event of any

conflict with the Administration, appeal to a small-claims court if the latter is not satisfied with the

compensation for expropriation proposed by the Administrative Commission of Expropriation.

The procedure is automatic as soon as the person to be expropriated does not sign the certificate of

compensation. The allowance will then be recorded at the Treasury pending the judge’s decision, based

on possible appraisals that the person concerned or the administrative authorities will opt to have

performed by a sworn expert.

This procedure shall be suspend the expropriation move and commencement date of the Administration.

However, once the judgment of expropriation is stated, it shall be binding even if the person concerned

apply to the appellate court of competent jurisdiction for another remedy. This remedy will this time be

a deliberate approach on the part of the claimant. The expropriation from and demolition of the property

can therefore in this case be performed even if the owner did not collect his compensation. It will then

remain in the coffers at the Treasury, until, either the individual concerned relinquishes the procedure

and cash the compensation, or the Court of Appeal shall adjudicate. In any event, the collection of the

fee by the Treasurer shall be tantamount to the termination of all reserves on the expropriated land on

the part of both parties: the owner and the Administration.

Mechanism unrelated to the decree of 25 November 1930

Regarding any compensation irrelevant to the provisions of the Decree of 1930, the mechanism that

applies will be as follows:

- In the first place, the certificate of compensation shall be subject to the signature of the person

concerned by the project;

- In case of any agreement, the certificate of compensation shall be signed and processed for

further signatures and the preparation of payment documents;

- In the event of any disagreement, bargaining will start with the Implementation Unit of the RAP

until an outcome acceptable to both parties is reached, including a possible recourse to a third

party expert;

- In case all negotiation efforts fizzle out, the remedy will be handled by the heads of

neighbourhood or religious leaders.

47

In any event, the project management and implementation unit of the RAP, with the possible aid of an

NGO will have to work out mediation efforts via a conciliatory approach to preserve the rights of PAPs,

while promoting a sound management of public funds.

8 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

Departments and Engineering Bodies of the Administration involved in the programming and project

execution are:

- The Ministry of Economic Infrastructure (MEI): responsible for implementing and monitoring the

Government policy as regard the equipment of the country in terms of infrastructure in public works.

It is therefore the Project Contracting Authority.

- The Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning: Responsible for construction, management and

maintenance of the property assets of the State. It manages the urban domain and ensures the

technical management of urban lands, in terms of city planning. As part of this project, the MCU

aims to enforce the expropriation and compensation policy.

- The Ministry of the Economy and Finance: responsible for implementing and monitoring the

government’s policy in economic, budgetary, financial and monetary affairs. On this score and in

connection with the ministerial departments concerned by the project, it has the initiative and the

responsibility of the efforts relating to the financing of this RAP with the aim of releasing the rights-

of-way.

- The Ministry of Transport: handles the administrative trusteeship and national transportation policy

in accordance with government goals. It is thus deals with the promotion, organization, regulation

and control of several types of (road, rail, air, inland waterway, lagoonal and maritime) transport;

mass urban/intercity transit and private transport. As such, this Ministry will be involved in the

execution of the project to improve the quality of life of the population and to secure a gain of

comfort and security for all users, while balancing the requirements of the various modes of

transportation coupled with the common objectives of the transportation policy.

- The Ministry for the Environment, Waters and Forests is in charge of the development of the

environmentalist and planning policy, monitoring and control of its implementation. It ensures the

protection and development of aquatic, fluvial, lagoonal and coastal ecosystems, as well as wetlands,

the coordination of the management of major natural risks, etc.

- The Ministry of Housing and Social Housing: promotes social housing and ensures that the persons

to be resettled would be in decent conditions.

- The Ministry of Urban Health and Sanitation: Based on its prerogatives, it will be involved in the

execution of this project to take part in the oversight of the operation of sanitation and drainage

systems in collaboration with the MCU and also in the development of appropriate policies.

- The Ministry of Women Advancement, the Family and Child Protection and the Ministry of

Solidarity, Societal Cohesion and Victim Compensation: in charge of gender promotion and the

well-being of the populations in the area and especially of the support of vulnerable persons.

- The Abidjan Prefectural Office, the District of Abidjan, the City Hall of Yopougon, the City Hall of

Songon and the neighbourhood leaders concerned.

- The Emergency Project Coordination for the Renaissance of Infrastructure in Côte d'Ivoire

(PRICI): is mandated to manage infrastructure projects in Côte d'Ivoire.

- The Agency for Road Management (AGEROUTE): a Government corporation under the trusteeship

of the Ministry of Economic Infrastructure. AGEROUTE is intended to assist the State to carry out

the management missions of the road network it is responsible for.

- The National Agency for the Environment (ANDE): Its missions include: (i) to coordinate the

execution of environmental development projects (ii) to conduct the follow-up and evaluation of

PNAE projects (iii) to establish and manage a portfolio of projects for environmental investment,

(iv) to participate alongside the Ministry of Economy and Finance, in the search for funds, (v) to

ensure the mainstreaming of environmental concerns into development projects and programs, (vi)

to ensure the establishment and management of a national system for environmental information,

(vii) to implement the impact assessment procedure as well as the environmental impact assessment

48

of macro-economic policies, (viii) to enforce international Conventions pertaining to environmental

- Licensees: These are licensees or lessees of power, telephone, water supply systems which are

components of the feasibility of the project in relation to such systems. Indeed, each of these systems

are located in part, in the project area. The parts that will be affected by the construction work will

be displaced or protected. These measures will be taken in connection with the Ivorian Electricity

Utility (CIE), the Water Supply Utility of Côte d’Ivoire (SODECI) and Côte d'Ivoire Telecom that

are the licensees or lessees for the aforesaid systems.

Capacity of Bodies

It is expected that these various bodies will be taking part in the implementation of the RAP. To do this,

their representatives will be trained under the project to be able to complete the mission entrusted to

them. It should be noted that all these bodies are knowledgeable of this type of operation in the light of

the experiences gained through the building of the 3rd bridge or other similar infrastructures in Abidjan

city.

9 ELIGIBILITY

9.1 Eligibility criteria for PAPs

Eligible persons shall be the men and women negatively affected by project execution and located in

the right-of-way of the construction of the 5th bridge and its road accesses.

10 EVALUATION AND COMPENSATION OF LOSSES

5TH BRIDGE + WESTERN OUTGOING HIGHWAY (ROAD TO DABOU).

10.1 General principles of compensatory measures

Generally, compensation will cover all the investments and any inconvenience that may be caused to

local populations through the execution of the project as well as the full economic resettlement of the

displaced persons. The compensation of persons and property will be made in cash, in kind, and/or in

the form of an assistance, based on the calculation of a new value of the property affected. The

reconstruction of housing units will be preferred to cash compensation. However, the affected person is

at liberty to make a choice, if adequately informed about his/her rights. The type of compensation will

be an individual choice even if all efforts will be made to highlight the importance and preference to go

for a compensation in kind.

The following principles will be chosen for the displacement of persons resettled in the right-of-way of

the project:

The displacement of the persons affected by the Project is in line with the logic behind the concept

of involuntary displacement and therefore must be done in the context of the existing Ivorian

regulations;

The persons affected by the Project will have the right to replenish their sources of income and/or

property;

In the case the Ivorian regulations is detrimental to them, the provisions of the AfDB and the World

Bank (PO 4.12) guidelines will be enforced, if the latter prove to be more supportive;

The resettlement allowance shall help the person affected by the project to continue his/her activities

and/or to replenish his/her sources of income;

Two (2) compensation modes are opted for: a compensation in kind and a cash compensation. The

compensation in kind relates to the provision of a resettlement site for all markets affected

(provisional).

The cash compensation relates to the payment of a relocation allowance and temporary loss of

income.

This Resettlement and Action Plan (RAP) has to do with the resettlement of the persons and activities

that are in the right-of-way of the project, in compliance with the guidelines of the AfDB.

50

While taking into account the gains and proposals included in the report of the ESIA, this RAP is

proposing measures for the displacement and resettlement of the categories of the following persons:

1. Traders (clothing, manufactured products, etc.);

2. Owners of chop bars, restaurants, refreshment stalls, etc.;

3. Managers of carwash;

4. Craftsmen (garages, joiner’s workshop, dressmaking shops, barber and hairdressing shop, etc.);

5. Owners of built-up areas (housing, equipment and facilities, general services).

The table below summarizes the general principles of compensation for the affected persons selected in

the context of this plan.

10.2 Financial evaluation of housing units and constructed works

10.2.1 Inventory and assessment of real property

The appraisal of the built-up areas has been coupled with that of the population census survey. It has

been carried out so as to appraise the expropriation value of assets existing in the rights-of-way, in the

event of their release. The appraisal of the built-up areas was done in two phases:

The first one focused on the marking, red painting, the identification numbers onto the built-up areas

located in the right-of-way of the projected road;

The second phase focused on a detailed appraisal of assets based on engineering studies

(photographing, survey statement of the exterior and interior dimensions of built-up areas, condition

report of the damage sustained, report of the level of accessibility, photographing, search for

additional information on the land ownership situation in the area, titles of ownership, notarized

deeds, topographic extracts, architectural and structure plans provided by owners, etc.), etc.

The information collected has been used to calculate the expropriation values of each property. The

valuation of asset values (land, buildings and fences) is done according to the following calculation

methods:

• For Buildings: VEX = SOH x NNI x CU

51

VEX: expropriation value; SOH: Gross floor area; NNI: Number of levels

CU: Unit cost (according to the MCU price schedule);

NB: The coefficients of influence are taken into account only in the event of expropriation.

• For fences: VEX = L x CU

L: Length of the fence; CU: Unit cost (according to the MCU price schedule). The height is taken into

account.

• For lands: VEX = ST x CUM

ST: Surface of the field; CUM: Unit Market Cost (per square meter).

10.2.2 Stocktaking of economic activities and evaluation of financial loss

This operation aims to provide reliable information on the riparian economic operators who set up in

the impact zones of the project and assess the damage that they will suffer as a result of the Project.

The valuation of financial loss is conducted according to the following classification:

Damage is estimated from the economic flows of the solutions contemplated by the businesses

affected as the costs of resettlement or change of strategy;

The losses are estimated from the economic flows resulting from the temporary absence of

activity;

All other evaluation components that would be relevant to the valuation of the damage suffered by businesses.

10.2.3 Cash compensation

This compensation mode applies to the whole of the persons affected by the Project. The legal-tender

values determined are as follows per category of PAPs:

- Non-resident owners of built-up areas The non-resident owners of built-up areas are not eligible for the resettlement operation and are not

entitled to a relocation allowance. However, they will be compensated for their built-up areas as per the

assessed value and be granted an allowance for the loss of rental incomes equivalent to 2 months of

rental incomes collected.

Compensation measures Legal-tender value

Compensation of the built-up areas Assessed Value

Allowance for loss of rental incomes 2 months of rental incomes collected

Table: Cash compensation for non-resident owners (for information only).

- Shop assistants and agricultural labourers The employees active in commercial and craft activities, approximately 5 328 people, will receive a

lump sum of 80 000 CFA F for the temporary loss of their employment, equivalent to 2 months of

salary.

- Managers of commercial and craft activities The compensation measures set forth for the managers of commercial and craft activities are tantamount

to the compensation for the loss of net profit during the period of business interruption, the compensation

for buildings (only for owners of built-up areas) and the compensation for relocation. The managers of

activities will receive the following allowances:

Compensation for loss of profit: twofold net monthly profit;

Resettlement allowance: Lump sum of 50 000 CFA F.

10.1 Valuation of losses

The valuation of losses is conducted for the major property affected, namely land, constructed works

and incomes.

10.1.1 Valuation Methods

The valuation of the losses consisted in assessing the replacement cost of the property affected by the

project. The calculation bases used are shown below for each type of property concerned:

- Land: the area evaluated related to the average selling price charged in the project area;

- Built-up areas: estimate of the market value or actual value of the building as is by applying to

the total surface area out of work, a specific price per square meter fixed according to the scale

of the Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning (MCU)4, and weighted coefficients taking

into account the workmanship, the maintenance and obsolescence;

- Incomes: The estimate is for the economic operators, their employees, and the owner of the

rented buildings. The estimate is based, for the first, on the calculation of the monthly benefit

net realized, for the latter, on the net salary collected, and for the last, on the total rent collected.

10.1.2 Value of losses incurred

10.1.2.1 Cost of acquisition of the lots

The land of the project area are high and medium standard housing land located in an urban area

bordering an important commercial street with various networks. According to the results of the socio-

economic survey conducted among the owners of the lots affected, the acquisition price vary from 25

000 to 50 000 CFA F per square meter. This range of prices charged in the bordering neighbourhoods

is also the one estimated by the land registry departments, as well as the Land Management Agency

(AGEF)5. Based on this cost per m2, the estimated aggregate acquisition value of the lots crossed by the

project is 159 703 000 million CFAF, as broken down per crossroads in the following table.

10.1.2.2 Value of the constructed works

The appraisal of the buildings has been made by the Department of Constructed Works and Public

Facilities (DCEP) under the auspices of the National Engineering Studies and Development Office

(BNETD). The estimate of the value on an as-is basis of assets identified in the right-of-way of the

project is of 486 431 260 CFAF as broken down in Table 10, per crossroads.

10.1.2.3 Value of financial loss

a) Regarding the economic operators

The incomes of the economic operators are equivalent to the net profits calculated according to the

accounting documents, including:

- Monthly sales book, to check the consistency between the actual monthly sales and those

reported during the socio-economic survey;

- Financial statements for the accounting year, to consider gross margins and check the

consistency between the turnover figures given in the financial statements and those provided

by the sales book;

- Supporting documents on monthly and annual social security and tax contributions, to

check the tax status of businesses.

The accounting documents provided by economic operators carrying formal activities were reviewed by

the Economic and Financial Studies Department (DEEF) of BNETD. The total amount of the damage

suffered by the various economic operators carrying out formal activities amounted to 552 129 890

CFAF.

The value of the financial loss suffered is calculated based on the following elements:

- The loss related to the operating revenues;

- The loss related to the staff;

- The loss related to the debts.

b) Regarding shop assistants

The loss of salaries estimated for employees amount to 31 882 160 CFAF.

c) Loss of rental incomes

The loss of revenues from rental incomes are assessed at 10 473 875 CFAF, corresponding to the sum

of the rental incomes collected by the owners of rented buildings located in the right-of-way of the

54

project. The following table summarizes the valuation of financial loss. They amounted to a total

of 264 296 035 CFAF.

10.2 Compensation measures per category of PAPs according to the loss sustained

The calculation methods for compensation in compliance OS.2 are based on the principles of the

evaluation of losses relating to the full costs of replacement of property lost. On this ground, some

follow-up assessment methods or measures that are better suited to the requirements of the AfDB’s

Operational Policy have been used in the context of this study. In fact, the methodological bases of

calculation of allowances and costs of resettlement refer to local realities (local cost of replacement)

which have been captured through surveys, public consultations on the ground and the good practices

used by the Contracting Authority. Supportive measures and economic support actions including

relocation allowances and transportation fees will be used to assist the people affected. Social

monitoring of PAPs during displacement and resettlement will also be conducted.

10.2.1 Compensation for loss of lot

The compensation for loss of lots will be addressed to the owners of lots holders of legal documents or

not. This move is based on the implementation of the AfDB’s Operational Safeguard 2. The

compensation applied to affected lots is based on the replacement value relative to the average purchase

price charged in the project area. In the context of this project, the amount fixed as a basis for negotiation

is 50 000 CFA F per square meter.

10.2.2 Compensation for loss of buildings

The main measure opted for is the compensation as per the replacement cost or the new value without

depreciation or weighting of the coefficients of performance, obsolescence, maintenance and

remoteness. However, the buildings or any accessory building of public facilities and infrastructure will

have be too rebuilt. Similarly, the access roads, private areas and fences affected in the course of the

construction works will need to be reconstructed.

10.2.3 Compensation for loss of place of business

The compensation measures opted for loss of place of business shall amount to 03 months’ rent

calculated on the basis of the rental value of the built-up area affected by the project as regards the

economic operators who are tenants of the said building. The number of months has been decided on

based on existing practices in the project area. The whole of the PAPs concerned will also benefit from

a 100 000 CFAF support for moving and transport expenses.

10.2.4 Compensation for loss of income

55

The owners of rented buildings, economic operators and employees shall be eligible for a compensation

for loss of income. The scales agreed respectively for each are as shown below:

- Loss of rental income: compensation is fixed at 03 months of rent currently paid.

- Loss of net benefit for informal businesses: a lump sum compensation for 03 months equivalent

to the period of resumption of operations, calculated based on the average net profit.

- Loss of net profit for formal activities: the compensation will be made based on the valuation

made by the financial experts of the DEEF.

- Loss of salary: a lump sum compensation equivalent to 03 months of net salary collected.

The table below summarizes the key measures and compensation Base measures recommended by PAPs

in terms of the type of loss suffered. It should be noted that depending on the type of loss suffered, any

PAP may be eligible for one or several compensation measures.

10.1 Evaluation of losses

The estimate of losses is carried out for the major goods affected, namely: the land, constructed works,

and income.

10.1.1 Valuation Methods

The estimate of losses consisted in assessing the replacement cost of the property affected by the project.

The calculation bases used are shown below for each type of property concerned:

- Land : the surface area evaluated relative to the average selling price charged in the project area;

- Crops: the evaluation of losses for the crops identified in the project area will be conducted based

on the market value of speculations, relative to the average level of performance established

according to national figures and the area under crops. It should be noted that this evaluation

exercise is not covered in this report, because the identification and the survey on the crops

affected by the project are not real;

- Built-up areas : estimate of the market value or actual value of the building as is by applying to

the total gross floor area, a specific price per square meter fixed according to the scale of the

Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning (MCU)6 and the weighted coefficients taking into

account the workmanship, maintenance and obsolescence;

- Income : The estimate is about economic operators, their employees and the owners of the rented

buildings. The estimate is based, as for the first category mentioned, on the calculation of the

monthly net realized benefit; as for the staff, it is based on the net take-home pay; finally as

regards the latter category, the estimate is based on total rental incomes collected.

10.1.2 Value of losses incurred

- Cost of Acquisition of the Lots

Private lands in the Project area are mainly high, medium and low standing housing lands located in an

urbanized area with various networks and systems. According to the results of the socio-economic

survey conducted among the owners of the lots affected, the acquisition target prices range from 15 000

- Market value of Crops

The main crops identified in the right-of-way of the project are food crops (cassava, plantain, corn, etc.)

and perennial crops (palm oil and rubber trees). The identification and survey of the density squares

being carried out by the departments of the Ministry of Agriculture should help appraise the potential

losses to be incurred.

- Value of the constructed works

The appraisal of the buildings has been done by the Department of Constructed Works and Public

Facilities (DCEP) The National Engineering Studies and Development Office (BNETD). The estimate

of the value as is or market value of the assets identified in the right-of-way of the project is 5 086

551 710 CFAF.

- Value of financial loss

d) Economic operators

The income of the economic operators are equivalent to the realized net profits calculated based on

accounting documents, including:

- Monthly sales book, to check the consistency between the actual monthly sales and those

reported during the socio-economic survey;

- The financial statements for the accounting year, to consider gross margins and check the

consistency between the turnover figures in the financial statements and those provided by the

sales book;

- Supporting documents on monthly and annual social security and tax contributions to

check the tax status of businesses.

The accounting documents provided by economic operators carrying out formal activities are being

reviewed to assess the losses incurred in the event of loss of income for relocation purposes.

Pending the completion of this evaluation exercise, the financial loss to be incurred is estimated based

on the total monthly income reported by the 113 economic operators identified, which is 18 733

665 CFAF.

60

The value of the financial loss suffered is calculated based on the following elements:

- The loss related to the operating revenues;

- The loss related to the staff;

- The loss related to debts.

e) Shop assistants

The total loss of salary estimated for the 88 employees, is assessed at 5 414 000 CFAF.

f) Loss of rental incomes

The loss of revenues from rental incomes are assessed at 11 418 500 CFA franc: equivalent to the sum

of the rental incomes collected reported by the owners of the rented buildings located in the direct right-

of-way of the project.

The following table summarizes the valuation of financial loss. They amounted to a total of 35 566

165 CFAF.

10.2 Compensation Measures per category of PAPs according to the loss sustained

The calculation methods for compensation in compliance with OS.2 are based on the principles of the

evaluation of losses relating to the full costs of replacement of property lost. On this ground, some

follow-up assessment methods or measures that are better suited to the requirements of the AfDB’s and

the WB’s Operational Policy have been used as part of this study. In fact, the methodological bases of

calculation of allowances and costs of resettlement allude to local realities (local cost of replacement)

which have been captured through surveys, public consultations on the ground and the good practices

commonly used by the Contracting Authority.

However, when it comes to public or community facilities such as the cemetery of Djibi village, they

will be rebuilt under the project which will bear the costs.

Supportive measures and economic support actions including relocation allowances and transportation

fees will be used to assist the people affected. Social monitoring of PAPs during displacement and

resettlement will also be conducted.

10.2.1 Compensation for loss of lot

Compensation for loss of lot is based on the application of the Operational Safeguard 2 of the AfDB.

The compensation applied to affected lots is based on the replacement value relative to the average

purchase price charged in the project area. Compensation is based on replacement concept in accordance

with the average market price in the various areas crossed by the project. In the context of this project,

the amount fixed as a basis for negotiation is as follows:

61

- 30 000 and 50 000 CFAF respectively for the lots in the section of Cocody Angré and Riviera

Palmeraie;

- CFAF 5,000 for those in the section of Abobo;

- 4500 CFAF as for the section of Anyama.

10.2.2 Compensation for loss of rural lands

It is meant only for landowners-holders of a customary law on the land concerned. The compensation

cost proposed for the land concerned is 2000 CFA franc per square meter, in accordance with the decrees

Nº 2013-224 of 22 March 2013 and Nº 2014-25 of 22 January 2014 on the regulation of the redemption

on customary rights on the soil for general interest.

10.2.3 Compensation for loss of buildings

The main measure opted for is the compensation relative to the replacement cost or the new value

without depreciation or weighting of the coefficients of performance, obsolescence, maintenance and

remoteness.

However, the buildings or any accessory building of public facilities and infrastructure will have to be

rebuilt. Similarly, the access roads, private areas and fences affected during construction works will

need to be reconstructed.

10.2.3 Compensation for loss of housing

This compensation is meant for the households in the project right-of-way. The scales opted for are:

- For household-owners of buildings set up on land with titles of ownership recognized by the

Administration: a flat-rate rehousing assistance equivalent to 12 months of rent pegged to the

average rental cost charged in the project area for a three-room house; i.e. 100 000 CFAF in the

Commune of Cocody, 50 000 CFAF in the Commune of Abobo and 30 000 CFAF in the

Commune of Anyama; the number of months has been fixed based on the practices in the project

area.

- For household-owners of building on land with no title of ownership: a flat-rate assistance for

the rehousing of expropriated parties amounting to 150 000 CFAF;

- For renter households: a flat-rate assistance dedicated to rehousing equivalent to 03 months of

rent pegged to the cost of the current rent paid by the latter;

- For freely accommodated households: a relocation assistance of 100,000 CFAF.

10.2.4 Compensation for loss of income

The owners of rented buildings, economic operators and employees shall be eligible for the

compensation for loss of income. The scales selected respectively for each are:

- For the loss of rental income: the compensation is fixed at 03 months of rent currently collected.

- For the loss of net income: a lump sum compensation for 03 months equivalent to the period of

resumption of operations, calculated based on the average net profit.

62

- For the loss of salary: a lump sum compensation equivalent to 03 months of net salary collected.

10.2.5 Compensation for loss of place of business

This compensation is meant exclusively for economic operators who are owners or tenants operating in

the buildings set up on a site with a title deed.

The compensation measures adopted for loss of place of business are fixed as follows:

- For the economic operators who are owners of built-up areas set up on land with titles of

ownership recognized by the Administration: a flat-rate relocation assistance equivalent to 03

months of rent pegged to the average rental cost charged in the project area for a store: that is

100 000 CFAF in the Commune of Cocody, 50 000 CFAF in the Commune of Abobo and 30

000 CFAF in the Commune of Anyama;

- For renter economic operators: a flat-rate relocation assistance equivalent to 03 months of rent

pegged to the cost of the current rent paid by the latter.

10.2.6 Compensation for loss of crops

The compensation for the crops destroyed by the project, will be made in cash, according to Ministerial

Serial nº 247/MINAGR/MEF/MPMB of 17 June 2014 establishing the scale of compensation for

destroyed crops.

The table below summarizes the key measures and the compensation base recommended by PAPs in

terms of the type of loss suffered. It should be noted that depending on the type of loss suffered, the PAP

may be eligible for one or several compensation measures.

10.2.7 Relocation assistance and transport expenses

A lump sum shall be granted to each of the PAPs (with the exception of the PNRs and crop owners) to

enable them to cover the costs of relocation and transportation of property, during the release of the

right-of-way. This amount is fixed based on the costs of rental of removal trucks in Abidjan, which vary

according to the distance: from 10 000 CFA F to 25 000 CFA F per trip. The amount per person will be

at 100 000 CFAF.

10.3 Compensation for Losses

The compensation values proposed shall consider existing Ivorian practices while complying with the

requirements of the Bank Group. The legal-tender values were agreed on per type of loss.

10.3.1 The amount of compensation and other compensation measures

- Compensation for the lots

The total area of the lots identified in the right-of-way of the project is evaluated at 317 399 m². Relative

to the unit prices per square meter proposed as part of negotiations, the total value of the

compensation for the owners of the said lots is 3 129 020 000 CFAF, broken down by section in the

table below.

10.3 General principles of compensatory measures

When it turns out to be impossible to avoid it, Ivorian laws clearly provide for how to proceed with

expropriation, in using the market value of the land, as calculated by an independent body, following a

prior public announcement with a right of negotiation and a right of appeal.

In a general way, the compensation will cover all the investments and any inconvenience that may be

caused to local populations as a result of the execution of the project as well as the full economic

resettlement of the displaced persons.

The following principles will be opted for the displacement of persons resettled in the right-of-way of

the project:

The displacement of the persons affected by the Project fits into the logic behind involuntary

displacement and must in this respect be done in the context of existing Ivorian regulations;

65

The persons affected by the Project will have the right to replenish their sources of income

and/or their property;

In the case the Ivorian regulations is unsupportive to them, the provisions of the guidelines of

the AfDB will apply (policy on involuntary displacement of populations), if these prove to be

more supportive ;

The compensation and resettlement assistance will help the person affected by the project to

continue his/her activities and/or to replenish his/her sources of income;

Three (3) compensation modes are opted for: the compensation in kind, the cash

compensation, and the compensation in kind and in cash.

- The compensation in kind relates to the provision of a resettlement site.

- The cash compensation relates to the monetary payment of relocation assistance and

temporary loss of income.

- The compensation in kind and in cash relates to the provision of a resettlement site and

a cash payment of relocation assistance and temporary loss of income.

However, in cases where it would be impossible to implement the compensation in kind,

negotiations will be started with the person concerned with the aim of the payment of cash

compensation.

The table below indicates the general principles which should be applied to compensate for the persons

affected by the project.

10.4 Evaluation of losses

1.1.1 Procedure for land acquisition and property compensation

The procedure for land acquisition and property compensation will be discussed with the populations

based on the costs that will be valued based on national regulations. As regards property eligible for the

compensation process, it has been clarified that it is the landed property and various achievements and

existing activities affected which will be taken into account.

The procedure for land acquisition and compensation for losses of real estate, farms and lands shall be

established as follows:

Based on Decree Nº 2014-25 of 22 January 2014 amending decree n°2013-224 of 22 March

2013 on the regulation of redemption on customary rights on the ground for general interest;

Based on the interministerial Serial nº 247/MINAGRI/MPMEF/MPMB of 17 June 2014 laying

down the scale of compensation for crops destroyed and with the support of the District

Directorate of MINADER in Abidjan, through its local office in Anyama, that tasked some staff

to take part in field missions to report the destruction of crops and assess the associated costs,

the Consultant was able to calculate the compensation costs for the destroyed crops.

The inventory of the areas affected was done via quantity surveying on the whole of the length

and width of the alignment corridor at the sub-Prefecture of Anyama.

1.1.2 Methods of Evaluation of Assets and Compensation

According to the guidelines of the AfDB on involuntary displacement of populations, the right

evaluation method is as follows: the cost of replacement or evaluation method of assets. This method

67

helps to calculate the amount sufficient to replace the losses incurred and cover transaction costs, given

that depreciation is not taken into account. All the lands lost by the legal or customary owners will be

compensated either in cash as per market price or in kind by another land having the same size on the

host site or within a reasonable radius with the consent of the owners.

1.1.3 Scale of assessments of the system of customary ownership

The redemption on customary rights will be based on the enactments in force, especially decree Nº 2014-

25 of 22 January 2014 amending decree n°2013-224 of 22 March 2013 on the regulation for redemption

on customary rights on the ground for general interest. To this end a Commission will be set up and

chaired in Abidjan by the Minister of Economy and Finance or his/her representative and will be

composed of various representatives of line ministries.

1.1.4 Scale of assessments of the crops destroyed

As regards the price of compensation for vegetable goods, this will be done in accordance with the scale

of compensation for crops destroyed as governed by Decree Nº 95-815 of 29 September 1995 laying

down the rules for the compensation for any destruction of crops and interministerial Serial nº

247/MINAGRI/MPMEF/MPMB of 17 June 2014 establishing the scale of compensation for crops

destroyed. The evaluation is carried out by the sworn officials at the Ministry of Agriculture. Under this

project, the scale has been established by the staff of the local office of MINADER in Anyama.

The crops seen all along the road were mainly avocado, banana (plantain and dessert), cacao trees, coffee

trees, sugar cane, Kola trees, flowers, rubber-trees, palm oil and cocoyam.

1.1.5 Scale of assessments of built-up areas

The appraisal of the built-up areas has been carried out by a property valuer approved by the Property

Assessor Association of Côte d’Ivoire. The built-up areas include accommodation or commercial

buildings and substructure such as fences and bare sites.

The method used in this instance is the reinstatement method or replacement cost for the built-up areas

that will be affected by the project, namely, the market value and the resettlement allowance.

In fact, one considers from the comprehensive condition report of the built-up areas and constructed

works, to estimate a new value based on the Consultant’s experience and the price schedule established

by the Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning.

Therefore, the building value shall be the sum of the value of the two (2) components (lands and built-

up areas). We will therefore have: Total Value (VT) = Vt + Vc (Vt: Value of the land; Vc: The value of

the constructed work)

As regards loss of lands, the methodology consisted in using the scale of price established by the Multi-

party Commission on land price-fixing consisting of:

The Ministry of Construction and Urban Planning;

The Association of Architects;

The Property Assessor Association;

The Chamber of Notaries;

BNETD;

68

SOGEPIE;

The Directorate of Land Registry and Land Conservation.

Of the values selected, resettlement allowances including losses of lands were granted to owners.

Calculation of the value of the land

Based on the results of the proceedings of the multi-party commission fixing the price of lands in the

Autonomous District of Abidjan, the price per m2 of land was set as follows:

Commune of Yopougon (Carrefour Industrial Park - border of the Banco National Park): 10,000

CFAF/ m2 ;

Commune of Abobo: The reference cost is Abobo PK 18: 10 000 CFAF/m2 ;

Commune of Anyama: The reference cost is 10,000 CFAF/m2.

In doing so, the value of the land is obtained through the following formula: Cost of square

meter agreed on by the Commission x Surface Area x discount due to building volume of 0.30 to 0.50%.

Calculation of the value of the built-up areas or the constructed work

From the calls for tender and the data provided by the Directorate of Construction, we opted for a cost

of built-up area per m2 regarding the following constructed works:

Economic building of about 200 000 CFAF/m2 to 250 000 F/m²

Medium-standard building of about 300 000 F/m² to 400 000 F/m²

Relative to the reinstated built-up area, a discount for obsolescence will apply in terms of the condition

and age from 15 up to 30%.

It should be noted that all of the built-up areas visited are economic housing.

Calculation of the resettlement allowance

The resettlement allowance is calculated based on the current market value opted for over 6 months.

1.1.6 Compensation for temporary loss of income

Compensation for loss of salaries by employees of service stations

The idleness period due to the dismantling of facilities and equipment and resettlement on a new site

selected as part of this study is three (3) months. Compensation for loss of salary will therefore have to

cover this period and be fully repaid to employers who will pay the concerned employees.

To this end, a monitoring and control procedure will be implemented to ensure that salaries were actually

paid to the employees by their employers.

(i) Standard targeting of labour payroll in service stations

The proper functioning of a service station requires the presence of qualified personnel consisting

of: one (1) Manager, (1) Officer-in-charge, six (6) Gas station attendants, one (1) Greaser, one (1) car

washer and one (1) security guard.

(ii) Type of pay relevant to the profession

The pay of employees in force in the sector of service stations is shown in the following table:

69

Table: Type of pay given in service stations

Position Monthly Salary Number

Manager 350 000 1

Officer-in-charge 200 000 1

Gas Station Attendants 125 000 6

Greaser 125 000 1

Car washer 125 000 1

Security guard 100 000 1

Compensation for loss of rental income

The owners of built-up areas (whether resident or not) will receive a flat-rate compensation for the loss

of rental incomes (only for those whose built-up areas are rented). The costs in cash are fixed as follows:

compensation for loss of rental income equivalent to 3 months of rent calculated on the basis on the

current rent collected. The three-month period is equivalent to the period considered for the

reconstruction of the built-up areas if the owner has adequate resources.

Compensation for loss of premises

The occupants of the stores who must relocate permanently from the right-of-way the Project site must

collect a resettlement assistance. Based on the amount paid to the heads of households in the

implementation of the ORSEC plan (contingency plan) in Abidjan, which is 150 000 CFAF per

household, it was planned to pay 50 000 CFAF per month over 3 months to the occupants of the stores

located in the right-of-way, i.e. the sum total of 150,000 CFAF.

PREPARATION AND RESETTLEMENT PER SE

5TH BRIDGE + ROAD TO DABOU

In the context of the project, the houses in connection with the households affected will be shifted, as

well as public and community facilities. It is therefore necessary to identify resettlement sites in a

consensual manner with all stakeholders and to agree on the types of development to be performed as

well as the resettlement conditions on such sites so that decent comfort and operability be ensured.

ORCA AND PALMERAIE INTERCHANGES ON THE FRANÇOIS MITTERRAND

BOULEVARD

In the context of this RAP, three compensation modes were opted for by the PAPs. In fact, 58% of the

people affected desire cash compensation; while 16% wish to be resettled, 9% go for both a cash

compensation and a resettlement operation and 17% voiced out no opinion on any compensation

method. As for the second group desiring a resettlement approach, the State will see to what extent how

to mainstream them into the ongoing social housing program. Regarding the last group, the State will

pursue exchanges of views with the PAPs concerned in order for the latter to opt for a given

compensation mode.

MOTORWAY Y4

In the context of this RAP, three compensation modes were opted for by the PAPs. In fact, 49% of the

people affected desire cash compensation; while 23% want a resettlement approach (allocation of land

70

or reconstruction of built-up areas), 20% chose both a cash compensation and resettlement option and

8% gave no opinion on their compensation method. As for the second group desiring a resettlement

option, the State will see to what extent how to incorporate them into the ongoing social housing

program. As regards the last group, the State will carry on discussions with the PAPs concerned for

them to opt for a compensation mode.

EASTERN OUTGOING HIGHWAY

In the context of the project, the houses in connection with the households affected will be displaced, as

well as public and community facilities. It is therefore necessary to identify resettlement sites in a

consensual manner with all stakeholders and to agree on the types of development to be performed as

well as the resettlement conditions on such sites so that decent comfort and operability be ensured.

12 HOUSING, SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES

5TH BRIDGE + ROAD TO DABOU

The public social infrastructure that will be affected will be systematically rebuilt or renovated

accordingly.

In the context of the ancillary developments, the Project will contribute to the improvement of the living

conditions of the populations by providing additional infrastructure such as markets, multipurpose

centres etc.

ORCA AND PALMERAIE INTERCHANGES ON THE FRANÇOIS MITTERRAND

BOULEVARD

Infrastructure and social facilities such as the Ecole de Police (Police Academy), the garden of the FHB

University will be partially affected, but will not require a resettlement operation or even any

displacement of population. The fences and/or ancillary accommodation which will be demolished will

be reconstructed in the context of the Project. There is therefore no site to prepare, or entire buildings to

rebuild.

MOTORWAY Y4

Infrastructure and social facilities such as the school under construction, the borehole of SODECI,

religious buildings and the cemetery of Djibi Village will be affected and thus will require a relocation

operation. The buildings and/or facilities to be demolished will be compensated for in cash, with the

exception of the cemetery which is going to be rebuilt under this Project. This move would therefore

require the selection and preparation of a site. In this regard, the traditional rulers of Djibi village via

their White Paper submitted to BNETD, specified two sites:

- One on the same site of the current cemetery, hoping that sufficient space would remain after

the construction works;

- The second one will be on a ground situated 2 km away from the village.

Regardless of the site selected, development works will have to be done there. Beforehand, the affected

tombs will need to be identified and counted by the families concerned, as well as the bodies exhumed

by a specialized company.

The Project will cover all the costs associated with the funeral procedures of exhumation and re-burial

of displaced corpses. A provision of 50 000 000 CFAF is proposed to cover such expenses.

The public social infrastructure that will be affected will be systematically rebuilt or renovated

accordingly.

As part of the ancillary developments, the Project will contribute to improve the living conditions of the

populations by providing additional infrastructure such as markets, multipurpose centres etc.

13 PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

The protection of the environment will be in accordance with the Environmental and Social Management

Plan (PGES) enshrined in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.

16 FOLLOW-UP AND EVALUATION

16.1 Objectives of the follow-up and evaluation component

The monitoring and evaluation is a key component of this Resettlement and Action Plan. The objectives

of the follow-up evaluation are as shown below:

Monitoring of specific situations and challenges occurring during the execution, the compliance

of the implementation with the objectives and methods spelled out by the AfDB and Ivorian

regulations;

Evaluation of medium and long-term impacts linked to the resettlement on affected households,

their livelihoods, their incomes and their economic conditions, on the environment, local

capacities, on the settlements, etc.

Within the meaning of this document, the follow-up component aims to correct “in real-time” the

implementation methods during the project execution while the evaluation aims to verify if the

broad objectives of the policies were abided by and to learn lessons from the operation to alter

the strategies and the implementation from a longer-term perspective. The follow-up will be

internal while the evaluation will be external.

16.2 Monitoring of the implementation of the RAP

Objectives and content

The follow-up will focus on the following aspects:

Social and economic follow-up: monitoring the status of the displaced and resettled persons,

housing cost behaviour in the area of displacement and in that of resettlement.

Follow-up of vulnerable persons;

Follow-up of the complaints processing system;

Livelihood assistance: employees, commercial or craft activities, and follow-up of assistance

measures possibly implemented in this field.

Indicators

The following aggregate indicators will be used:

Number of households and persons affected by Project activities,

Number of households and persons physically displaced by Project activities,

Total amount of compensation paid,

Number of vulnerable people supported,

Number of complaints collected and processed,

Number of people informed and sensitized,

Number of PAPs satisfied with the compensation and resettlement efforts.

In addition, socio-economic indicators will be established and followed regarding a sample of PAPs:

Average cash income and average total income (with added-value if possible in terms of self-

consumption),

Average breakdown of expenditures per household,

Number of affected women and youth hired as part of the Project,

Number of full unemployed,

80

Number of children enrolled in schools.

Number of activities resumptions,

An annual report on specific follow-up in connection with the resettlement efforts will be prepared by

the Management Unit of the Project.

16.3 Evaluation

Objectives

The reference documents to be used for the evaluation will be the following:

This comprehensive Resettlement Action Plan,

Ivorian laws,

Policies of the African Development Bank (AfDB),

The objectives of the evaluation are the following ones:

General evaluation of the compliance of Project execution with the objectives and methods

specified in the context of the Resettlement Policy;

Evaluation of the compliance of Project execution with Ivorian laws and regulations, as well as

with the policy of the African Development Bank,

Evaluation of the procedures implemented for compensation, displacement and resettlement

operations,

Evaluation of the adequacy of compensation and resettlement measures compared to the losses

suffered,

Evaluation of the impact of the resettlement programs on income, standards of living and the

means of support, sustenance of living standards at their previous levels,

Evaluation of the corrective actions to be taken possibly as part of the follow-up and evaluation

of changes to strategies and methods used for the resettlement operation.

The evaluation part will make use of the documents and materials produced from internal monitoring,

and supplement, the evaluators will conduct their own field analyses in the form of RAP surveys among

the stakeholders and the persons affected by the Project.

Process

The evaluation of each Resettlement program undertaken within the Project will be conducted by

knowledgeable external auditors and if possible they should be abreast of Ivorian specificities. The

Association of International and Ivorian Auditors is recommended.

The assessment should be two-phased:

Immediately after the completion of resettlement operations,

If possible two years after the completion of resettlement operations.
