Land acquisition and resettlement: Lessons learned

Description

There are no one-size-fits-all solutions for successful resettlement activities, but there are many useful lessons to learn from past experience. The 10 modules in this Land acquisition and resettlement: Lessons Learned report offer insights based on the experience of 41 projects from around the world, in both the mining sector as well as other sectors. This includes insights into planning for resettlement, engaging with stakeholders, compensating for loss of land and restoring livelihoods, addressing the needs of vulnerable people, overseeing construction, ongoing community development interventions, and monitoring impacts.

The material was originally generated for a benchmarking report commissioned by Gold Fields, Rio Tinto and Glencore. They graciously shared it with ICMM so that it could be adapted into practical and user friendly modules, aimed at on the ground practitioners.
