Policy on Involuntary Resettlement
Asian Development Bank | August 1995
Abstract
The objective of the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement should be to avoid or minimize resettlement, wherever feasible. If population displacement is unavoidable, the strategy should be to ensure that the people affected by project are, as contemplated above, generally at least as. well, off after resettlement .as they would have been without the project. Addressing resettlement in Bank operations may entail: some additional costs, but the benefits to the DMCs Should outweigh.the costs to .the Bank. Good resettlement may be beneficial fronrt economic, social, and environmental considerations, and should contribute to improved project quality and impact. It will also promote more equitable development.
