Opis

Land Access and Resettlement: A Guide to Best Practice brings together for the first time a complete roadmap for practically planning and implementing successful land access and resettlement programs to create win-win outcomes for companies, communities and governments.

The authors have planned, implemented and reviewed over 50 land access and resettlement projects in over 30 countries, and conducted benchmarking exercises on a further 60 projects. This experience provides the basis for this ground-breaking book, which guides the reader through the different stages of preparing and implementing a land access and resettlement project. In clearly-set-out chapters, step-by-step information on how to avoid pitfalls and ensure that best practice and the correct standards are being applied is supported by practical tools for implementation. With useful real-life examples of when projects have gone well and when they haven't, the book is based on the lessons learned on the ground over the past decade.

An essential resource for corporate leaders, project managers, practitioners, academia, government and civil society and those involved in the extractive and infrastructure sectors.
