What are the compensation and resettlement policies?

Compensation and resettlement policies are measures taken by governments, organizations, or companies to address the negative impacts of development projects on affected individuals and communities. These policies aim to provide adequate compensation for the loss of land, livelihoods, and assets, as well as support for the resettlement and rehabilitation of affected populations. Compensation may include financial payments, land allocation, or access to alternative livelihood opportunities. Resettlement policies seek to ensure that displaced individuals and communities are relocated to suitable and improved living conditions, with access to essential services and infrastructure. Transparent and fair implementation of such policies is crucial in safeguarding the rights and welfare of affected people and promoting sustainable development.
