Example text
Adequate policy and purposive implementation actions are necessary to minimize or reverse the negative effects of compulsory relocation on individuals and on the national economy. This paper presents the basic guidelines and the procedures for World Bank-financed development projects that entail involuntary resettlement. The operational procedures are tailored to each of the different stages of the project cycle in such projects. The purpose of the paper is to assist those involved in preparing, implementing or evaluating such projects, and to contribute to the exchange of information about current approaches to involuntary resettlement operations.
A feeling of powerlessness and alienation is often engendered in those who are relocated, especially when entire communities are uprooted from familiar surroundings. To the extent that pre-existing community structure and social networks disintegrate, and tightly-knit kin groups are dispersed to new locations, social cohesion is weakened, and the potential for productive groupaction is diminished. Further, the Bank's guidelines identify and call attention to what sociologists name the "dependency syndrome" and the risks entailed if welfare-only approaches are applied.
