              Socio Economic Surveys Rev2

              Service

              Socio Economic Surveys

              Socio-economic survey tools are designed to collect information as a means of improving understanding of local resource management systems, resource use and the relative importance of resources for households and villages.

              Eco & Partner carries out community surveys relevant to the socio-economic baseline as part of the wider social assessment. These surveys cover population, gender analysis, demographics, households, economy and livelihoods, land and property, land use, social infrastructure and services, community safety, security, and welfare, occupational health and safety, health and educational conditions, cultural aspects, and other local social aspects, so that the local socio-economic characteristics can be assessed. The planning of the survey samples takes into consideration the need for equal representation from male and female respondents, including those who may be marginalized due to their ethnicity, national origin, age, occupation, religious affiliation, among others. The planning of the surveys always considers community resources accessed by both male and female household members.

              We help our clients carry out socio-economic survey and census of affected persons and households. Our approach is in bench-marked on the IFC and World Bank ESS 5 standards to determine the socio-economic baseline conditions of the Project affected people prior to project establishment. Through our network of social experts with diverse language skills, we are able to integrate and streamline a broad set of offerings, providing our clients with efficiencies and strategic approaches.

              Socio-economic survey tools provide a means of improving understanding of local resource management systems, resource use and the relative importance of resources for households and villages. They can also be used to elicit insights on interaction with government decision-making systems, community perceptions of trends and priority issues, and community-based institutions and their role in the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources. Use of such tools is an important first step in engaging local communities and ensuring that local voices are heard and that the community relationship with resources, land rights and access are incorporated into the project design.

              We design surveys, train in conducting the surveys and our field-based practitioners are able to conduct socio-economic surveys of households and villages. We use an integrated approach employing both quantitative and qualitative methods. We undertake household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions including community mapping. We also deploy powerful mobile data collection tools such as Survey CTO and ODK.

              We also help our clients with data analysis of socioeconomic data through application advanced analytics to understand key trends, diagnose the root cause, identify correlations and hence derive effective insights from the data. We have a competent team of data analysts with ability to identify spurious data. We manage your data and unlock the full potential of your information with advanced statistical techniques, data analytics, surveys and models employing statistical software such as STATA, R, and SPSS. Our team of data managers work closely with subject matter experts to make sense of the data and translate it into actionable insights.

              We use a combination of tools to build dynamic visuals to help tell the data story effectively for stakeholders and different audiences. We use infographics and digital presentations to engage with regulators and community stakeholders more effectively. This helps to safeguard and strengthen stakeholder relations.

                  Resettlement Action Plan

                  Service

                  Resettlement Action Plan

                  Projects often necessitate land acquisition, expropriation and/or restrictions on land use, resulting in the temporary or permanent resettlement of people from their original places of residence or their economic activities or subsistence practices.
                  When affected persons and communities do not have the choice to refuse such displacement, this process is known as involuntary resettlement. Where involuntary resettlement is unavoidable it is a requirement to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan. This is where our services come in handy in assisting the client develop a feasible and implementable one. Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) connotes the document in which the proponent of a project or other responsible competent authority describes the impacts of the involuntary resettlement, specifies the procedures that will be followed to identify, evaluate and compensate the impacts and defines the actions to be undertaken during all phases of the resettlement. The resettlement process is intended to fully re-establish people in well-functioning communities and with appropriate sustainable livelihoods. We have expansive experience in conducting and preparing feasible RAPs in accordance with national legislation and internationally recognised standards of good practice. With our qualified and competent specialists, we are able to carry out a census and a socio-economic baseline assessment and assist in the preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan or Livelihood Restoration Framework for projects involving economic (but not physical) displacement of people. Here we help the client develop procedures to offer to the affected persons and communities’ compensation and other assistance. We develop RAPs that include; the resettlement objectives, project impacts, identify all people to be displaced and provide an inventory of affected assets, demonstrate that displacement is unavoidable and has been minimized, define the legal framework for land acquisition and compensation, describe the process of consultation with affected people regarding acceptable resettlement alternatives, and the level of their participation in the decision making process, define the Cut-off Date, describe the entitlements for all categories of displaced people, describe the process for selection, allocation, preparation and land titles relating to housing replacement, describe relocation assistance to be provided, provide details of sustainable arrangements for improving or restoring the livelihoods and standards of living of displaced persons, outline the institutional/organizational responsibility for the implementation of the RAP and procedures for grievance redress, provide a schedule and budget for the implementation of the RAP, provide details of arrangements for monitoring, evaluation and reporting and where the land acquisitions does not result in any loss of livelihoods or loss of income, provide fair compensation for the acquired land and any lost assets on such land at their replacement cost.   Livelihood Restoration Resettlement may impact households’ natural resource-based livelihoods in a variety of ways, including through the reduction and/or loss of household assets and changes in accessibility of household assets and natural resources. Accordingly, livelihood re-establishment and development programs that aim to improve, or at least restore, household livelihoods are essential components of the resettlement plan. Based on existing livelihood strategies, and in consultation with affected communities, the resettlement plan involves new livelihood establishment and development programs that address agriculture, fisheries and diversified livelihood activities. Our approach to delivering livelihood restoration and development programs is based on landscape and household perspectives. At a landscape-level, both external factors and accelerated rates of change associated with the projects’ development require continuous monitoring, and where appropriate, adaptation of restoration and development programs. Further, our approach recognizes resettlement-affected communities in their entirety and aims to ensure that all households within these communities have access to livelihood re-establishment and development program. At a household-level, it is assumed that individual households will pursue unique livelihood strategies and combinations of livelihood activities to best suit their circumstances. These combinations may be determined by numerous household preferences and characteristics. Therefore, our approach to livelihood restoration and development programs is to continuously provide a suite of options across livelihood activities and allow households to choose which activities to participate in and are consistent with respective priorities and customs.   We offer technical support and assistance in the following:
                  • Development of Resettlement Action Plans
                  • Development of Livelihood Restoration Programs
                  • RAP Evaluation
                  • Financial Literacy Training
                  • Agricultural and livestock programs
