Nghi Son Refinery

rePlan, with Monkey Forest, prepared a Resettlement Action Plan and Community Engagement Plan to guide the physical displacement of over 1000 households for an oil refinery project 200 kilometres south of Hanoi in Vietnam. rePlan worked with Government of Vietnam representatives and the project proponent towards preparation of a government-led resettlement plan that would be compliant with IFC performance standards.  The project is to be developed within a larger industrial city.  With anticipated rapid growth and urbanization, the resettlement process considered aspects of rural to urban transitions for displaced households in its approach to physical planning and livelihoods.
