The project was co-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The LARP was developed in accordance with the principles of the Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS 2009) and includes an assessment of project impacts and values, as well as a detailed action plan for the provision of land acquisition and resettlement rehabilitation measures and compensation to affected persons (APs) and households (HHs).
Implementation
Media-Model implemented the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan for the 42 km Ashtarak–Talin road section under Tranche 2 of the North–South Road Corridor Investment Program. This was one of Media-Model’s first large-scale LARP implementation assignments, covering a large number of affected properties and persons along the road corridor.
