Who is concerned?
The construction of the toll highway affects a large number of people who have been listed within the framework of the preparation and implementation of the RPF and RAP. These Persons affected by the Project (PAP), are located on the limits of the highway routing. They might have built their homes there or be engaged in an industrial, commercial or agricultural activity and should be moved. All in all, about 7 988 households (with an average of 4 to 6 people/ household) and 2744 businesspersons located along the routing should be displaced. Â
All the PAP listed along the right-of-way are eligible for compensation, regardless of their status. The compensations are determined on the basis of the categories of PAP and the losses incurred due to the Project’s implementation:
- Residential plot owners
- Agricultural land owners
- Compensation allowances
- Tenants
- Loss of servicesÂ
- Businesses and petty trading activities
Businesses and petty trading activities might temporary loose earnings because of the project. These earnings are compensated according to the type of business, with the equivalent of a month’s activity. Street vendors will not be compensated since it is believed that their mobility will enable them to resettle elsewhere and that they will not lose income because of the project. Â
Owners of rented property will be paid the equivalent of 4 months’ rent if they lose rental revenues because of the project. Â
Farm operators who lose agricultural income because of the project will be compensated on the basis of the value of their annual harvest based on the estimate made during the inventory. A flat-rate compensation will also be paid to farm operators to make up for the costs of preparing their new farming plots.
