The Relocation and Resettlement

 a comprehensive and integrated

proposal that serves as guide for
planners in both the government and

even long term targets and resources,
integrate/synchronize institutional
arrangements and operating systems to

Objectives of RRAP:

 Clearly defined institutional linkages

among government and non–government
stakeholders to ensure efficient and
coordinated delivery of basic utilities and
socio – economic services and
