Synopsis

Land Access and Resettlement

About this title

Review

While there is a number of guidelines for the development of resettlement action plans, this book provides practical considerations and tools to assist project teams involved in resettlement action plan implementation. This is supported by the use of real life examples of good practice and challenges encountered during implementation --Jan Grobler, Principle Technical Expert for Land Acquisition and Resettlement, Royal Dutch Shell

This book is a must read for everyone in resource development. It provides the business case for relocation, provides common sense advice, and debunks the myths associated with developing robust social plans --Ross Gallinger, former Executive Director of PDAC and CSR Professional

This book is clearly written by practitioners. The project examples, tools, templates and frameworks could not be shaped other than through years of experience. The book firmly establishes land access and resettlement as a discipline that involves a comprehensive set of activities. It should end the discussion with those who still think that resettlement is just about building new houses. Many thanks for this fantastic contribution! --Luc Zandvliet, Author of Getting it Right: Making Corporate Community Relations Work
