Resettlement Action Plan

Implementation of Zulti South resettlement action plan.

Following the completion of two resettlement action plans (RAP) for RBM between 2010 and 2012, the SRK team were requested to implement the management plans in order for project construction to commence. The resettlement implementation includes the physical displacement of 18 homesteads, 125 grave sites, and economic displacement of over 200 fields. All implementation activities are closely monitored by the Rio Tinto board and benchmarked against both company policies and international standards. The SRK team has been involved in all aspects of the implementation process from early project design to actual housing construction and negotiations. 

The team have worked closely with the project engineers to design appropriate replacement housing and ensure that the designs are endorsed by the affected people. Replacement land has also been identified and secured by the project team. 

Together with an independent valuator, compensation rates have been developed aiding in the compilation and population of over 200 compensation agreements, predominantly for economically displaced homesteads. 

Throughout the process the team has been extensively involved in various levels of stakeholder engagement, from local government, affected people, and traditional authorities, ensuring the Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) is achieved.
