... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) allowance for loss of profit for displaced businesses. A flat rate of 300 United States dollars (USD) shall be used, equivalent to the allowance for loss of profit for businesses; (2) special focus must be given to the livelihood improvement of vulnerable groups prior to the construction of the project. Vulnerable households will be consulted at the onset of the operation to evaluate their concerns and need; (3) compensation in kind (house reconstruction, equivalent in locally bought food for crop damage) because this type of compensation tends to protect the weakest in the community (females and children, vulnerable people) while cash compensation has been shown to be detrimental to them; and (4) dedicate some funds to general development objectives, with communities taking the lead in determining which project they wish to prioritize and implement as well as how the project must be implemented.
