SCENARIO 1. WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED IF
VILLAGES WERE MOVED?
Solutions/considerations:
1. Involve local NGOs (e.g. FREDA), local government and villagers in discussions
about relocation to provide a basis for decisions before they are made. A neutral
mediator who speaks the local language and has a good understanding of local
culture and government should conduct discussions.
2. Considerations for the new location included:
a) New homes should be constructed according to villagers’ wishes, with most
materials to be provided by the government.
b) Provision of substantial financial compensation (e.g. 12 months income per
family) should be considered, which would depend on the funding source for the
resettlement. Other models also should be considered (e.g., provision of low or
no-interest loans from a revolving fund to help villagers develop new livelihoods
or sources of income).
c) Land and long-term training in agricultural techniques should be provided so that
people can successfully farm land in the new location.
d) Maintain social and cultural integrity as much as possible (e.g., move
monasteries and/or other important buildings or structures or parts thereof, to the
new site)
e) Organize moving of personal belongings to homes, including livestock.
f) Provide a choice of three or four sites for relocation so that people can choose
the location of their new home.
