The objective of the Shanxi Coalbed Methane Development and Utilization Project for China is to develop a resettlement action plan for the people affected by the project to guarantee they can benefit from the project, improve their living standards or at least restore their living standards after the project is completed. The project will affect 14 village groups in 8 administrative villages in Zhengzhuang town and Duanshi town in Qinshui county.

This Resettlement and Compensation Framework for the Philippines Support for Strategic Local Development and Investment Project serves as a guideline for preparing Resettlement Plans and other related documents required to mitigate any adverse social and economic impacts arising from land and other assets. This report outlines national and Bank principles and policies, and the legal framework affecting anticipated resettlement and/or asset acquisition, as well as participation measures and grievance mechanisms.

Resettlement of projected affected persons (PAPs) will follow these principles: The relationship between the state, the collective, and the individual shall be appropriately considered; The resettlement area and the host area shall be chosen in keeping with the national interest. The aim is to gradually raise the living standard of the resettlers. The resettlement will consider local conditions, and the resources of the reservoir area will be reasonably used. Resettlers will be settled in their original location or be moved nearby.

Land and property are usually the most important physical assets for poor households. In low-income countries served by the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA), land reform is an important part of IDA's overall effort to address poverty and growth constraints, foster better environmental management, and promote gender equality. It also helps societies rebuild after conflicts and natural disasters, such as in Sri Lanka and Aceh, Indonesia.

It seeks to identify common analytical elements, to identify principles that have produced win-win outcomes, and to extract some general principles for policy formulation and implementation.
