Income Restoration Allowance for Severe Agricultural Land Impacts. When >10% of the agricultural land of a AP is affected, APs will get an additional allowance for severe impacts equal to the market value of a year’s net income crop yield of the land lost. Given the problems of measurement of APs’ holdings – see above column 5 on crop losses – this may be difficult to compute and careful negotiations with the APs will be necessary No figures because the exact sums of money involved will depend on the use to which the land is being put Although this has the appearance of objectivity for reasons noted in column 3 there may be disputes which will need to be handled sympathetically. Vulnerable group allowance Vulnerable people (APs the poverty line, women household heads, mentally challenged headed households, etc.) will be given assistance. There will need to be careful and sympathetic consultation and negotiation with these APs A one-time allowance for vulnerable APs equivalent to at least AF x and priority in employment in project-related jobs. Whether this will be seen as adequate will depend on the income forgone. It might be advisable to build in some flexibility here hence the ‘at least’. Transitional livelihood allowance APs losing land or losing a house and forced to relocate will receive a livelihood allowance. Disturbance is a standard head of compensation but it will need a willingness to be flexible on rates as disturbance is not an objective matter. At least AF xa month for transitional period This is very much a ‘guestimate’. It may be the best that can be done in the circumstances. Here too the words ‘at least’ have been added to provide for some flexibility Rental allowance House renters forced to relocate will receive a rental allowance and will be assisted in identifying alternative accommodation Negotiations with APs central to the operation of this head of compensation x months’ rent at the prevailing market rate in the project area What the prevailing market rent is must differ from place to place. It is probably not worth while trying to create a ‘shadow’ market. As with other heads of ‘allowances’ some flexibility must be built into the outcome.
