EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
 
1. 
Description of the Project. The Republic of Tajikistan has received Grant 42052 from 
the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for implementing CAREC Corridor 3 (Dushanbe–
Uzbekistan border) Improvement Project (the Project). The civil works funded under the Project 
comprise the upgrading of the existing road section from West Gate to Tursunzade to a 4-lane 
road including road widening, minor realignment and improvements, upgrading the existing 2-
lane Tursunzade to the Uzbekistan border and improvement of facilities at Dusti Border Post.  
  
2. 
Scope of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan, Phase I (LARP I). LARP I is 
prepared by the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan (MOT). It addresses the land acquisition and 
resettlement impact associated with the Project, and provides an assessment of compensation 
to the affected persons and Affected households, due under the Tajikistan law and according to 
ADB requirements on Involuntary Resettlement as embedded in the ADB's Safeguards Policy 
Statement (2009). The civil works will be procured through a design-build contract. Land 
Acquisition and Resettlement for the Project will be prepared and implemented in two phases. 
The first phase of the LARP (LARP I) corresponds to four road segments for which the road 
design corridor/alignment was finalized before the award of the civil works contract, based on 
the preliminary design. It covers 36.26 km of the road, whereas the entire length of the road is 
57 km. The implementation of LARP I is expected to commence two months before the award of 
the civil works contract, to enable the contractor to commence the construction works as soon 
as it prepares the detailed design for the four road segments listed in the following table.

Scope of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan, Phase II (LARP II).The 
second phase of the LARP will correspond to the remaining segments of the road for which the 
design corridor and the road alignment was not finalized before the award of the civil works 
contract. It will be prepared after the award of the civil works contract, when the contractor 
finalizes the remaining road alignment. LARP II will cover the remaining 20.74 km of the road. 
  
4.

affected persons is estimated based on the socioeconomic survey findings published in the 
Draft LARP according to which a household consists on average of 8 persons. Of all affected 
households, 45 are headed by women. Around 63% of all affected households will loose some 
agricultural land while the rest will have some of residential or business land and structure 
losses. Only two homes and one business have to be relocated during the implementation of 
LARP I. A bit less than one third of all affected households are entitled to the vulnerability 
allowance of two months of the minimum salary.  A summary of impacts expected during the 
implementation of the LARP I is outlined in the following table.

The overall compensation and other related resettlement costs due to LARP I 
amount to TJS   
2,290,736.00
.  This amount includes 5% contingency to cover the cost of 
eventual complaints or any other costs that may arise during the implementation. The total 
budget for both phases of LARP is estimated at TJS.  7,403,062.  This amount includes the 
finalized cost of LARP I and a cost estimate of LARP II. 
 
7. 
  Public  Consultations.    Consultations with the affected persons and other major 
stakeholders were conducted at various stages of the Project preparation. Consultations with 
affected people conducted during the preparation of LARP I dominated by discussions on 
methodology for evaluation of affected assets, compensation entitlements and LARP 
implementation phases. During the preparation of the Draft LARP and final LARP I, the following 
activities involved consultations at various levels: 
 
1.  a screening survey,  
2.  land census survey,  
3.  socio-economic survey and  
4. targeted consultation meetings with Affected persons and local stakeholder 
organizations, government officials and individuals 
5.  informal consultations with each affected person  
6.  consultations with agencies involved 
7.  wide consultations with affected people 
 
8. 
Grievance Redress Mechanism. The EA established the grievance mechanism for 
complaints in both resettlement and construction period. During the resettlement period, 
Affected persons have the right to file complaints and/or queries on any aspect of land 
acquisition compensation and resettlement at three levels: first to the Grievance Redress 
Committee, second to the Resettlement Working Group Committee in MOT, and finally, if no 
solution is reached, the affected person can submit her/his case to the court. During the 
construction period, all persons living along the Project road whether or not affected by 
resettlement may claim damages for losses of property due to the Contractor’s construction 
activities or design, under the third party insurance policy that will be provided by the contractor 
in the joint names of the contractor and the employer.

1. INTRODUCTION 
1.1    General  
 
9. 
 The Republic of Tajikistan has received Grant 42052 from the Asian Development Bank 
(ADB) for implementing CAREC Corridor 3 (Dushanbe–Uzbekistan border) Improvement 
Project (the Project). The civil works funded under the Project comprise the upgrading of the 
existing road section from West Gate to Tursunzade to a 4-lane road including road widening, 
minor realignment and improvements, upgrading the existing 2-lane Tursunzade to the 
Uzbekistan border and improvement of the infrastructure and facilities at Dusti Border Post.  
 
10. 
The Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan, Phase I (LARP I) is prepared by the 
Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan (MOT). It addresses the land acquisition and resettlement 
impact associated with the Project, and provides an assessment of compensation to the 
affected persons and Affected households, due under the Tajikistan law and according to ADB 
requirements on Involuntary Resettlement as embedded in the ADB's Safeguards Policy 
Statement (2009).  
 
11. 
The civil works will be procured through a design-build contract. Land Acquisition and 
Resettlement for the Project will be prepared and implemented in two phases. The first phase of 
the LARP (LARP I) corresponds to four road segments for which the road design 
corridor/alignment was finalized before the award of the civil works contract, based on the 
preliminary design. The implementation of LARP I is expected to commence two months before 
the award of the civil works contract, to enable the contractor to commence the construction 
works as soon as it prepares the detailed design for the four road segments. 
 
12. 
The second phase of the LARP (LARP II) will correspond to the remaining segments of 
the road for which the design corridor and the road alignment were not finalized before the 
award of the civil works contract. It will be prepared after the award of the civil works contract, 
when the contractor finalizes the remaining road alignment. 
 
13. 
MOT formed a Working Group for land acquisition and resettlement planning in March 
2009 to establish an appropriate methodology for determination of a fair compensation for the 
loss of assets. The Working Group is headed by the first deputy Minister, MOT and it includes 
representatives from the National Management, Geodesy and Mapping Agency, the State 
Unitary Enterprise “Research and Planning–Surveying Institute; and representatives of the 
Hukumats of Rudaki, Gissar, Shakhrinav and Tursunzade Rayons.  
 
14. 
The Hukumats representatives participated in the preliminary survey of Affected persons 
and their assets from October and December 2009 and issued notices of cut-off dates relating 
to registration of affected assets, in November 2009. Copies of these notices are included in 
Appendix 4.  
 
15. 
Representatives of Hukumats, the Agency on Land Management and Geography, the 
State Committee on Investment and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan, 
the team of resettlement specialists conducted a detailed measurement and evaluation of the 
affected assets from November 2010 to January 2011.  
 
16. 
The final updated LARP will be translated into Russian. A leaflet/pamphlet containing a 
brief description, eligibility criteria, the entitlement matrix and implementation schedule was 
distributed to all AHs and APs by the representatives of MOT (refer to (Appendix 3).  

 
 
 
 
 
1.2   LAR-Related Project Implementation Conditions 
17. 
Based on ADB safeguards requirements and practice  Project implementation will be 
subjected  to the following LAR-related condition: 
 
Commencement of Civil Works: Conditional to the satisfactory implementation of the final LARP 
to be vouched for by a compliance report prepared by the IM. 
 
 
1.3   Scope of LARP I 
18. 
LARP Phase I corresponds to four longer road segments that will be handed over to the 
contractor 60 days after the commencement of the civil works contract. The finalization of the 
road design corridor/alignment for these segments before the award of the contract enabled a 
precise measurements of assets affected by the resettlement and finalization of the LARP I. 
(Table 1) The list of road segments for which the design corridor was finalized and which were 
included in LARP I is shown in the following table. A schematic representation of the parts of the 
site included in LARP I and LARP is given in Appendix 12.

The Project Management Consultant will assist MOT to finalize LARP II during the design 
phase of the civil works (design-build) contract. The general conditions of the civil works 
contract contain the provision that, under the terms of ADB Grant, the contractor must not 
commence the phase 2 of the civil works until LARP II is finalized, approved by the Government 
of Tajikistan and ADB, and implemented according to the set guidelines and requirements.  
 
 
1.4    Project Road Description 
20. 
The Dushanbe–Tursunzade–Uzbekistan border road traverses the districts, or Rayons of 
Rudaki, Gissar, Shakhrinav, and Tursunzade, in this order as the road moves west from 
Dushanbe down the Gissar valley. The total length of the road is 61.5 kilometers (km). The road 
heads west, south-west from Dushanbe to the Uzbekistan border in eastern Uzbekistan. It is the 
main route for road traffic and transported goods to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan from 
Dushanbe and the southern regions of Tajikistan including agricultural produce from the Gissar 
valley. It is the vital trade route for most Tajik imports and exports to and from the port of Bandar 
Abbas in Iran.  
 
21.  Consideration of the mid-point traffic volumes, levels of service and the environment 
through which the road passes lends to dividing the road into five sections/packages for design 

 
 
16 
and implementation purposes. These road sections are (1) Avicenna Monument to West Gate, 
(2) West Gate to Gissar Junction, (3) Gissar Junction to Shakhrinav roundabout, (4) Shakhrinav 
roundabout to Tursunzade Junction and (5) Tursunzade Junction to the Uzbekistan Border. The 
summary details of various road sections are described in following table. Project location map 
is shown in the Figure 1
