99. An External Monitoring Agency (EMA) will be engaged to provide an independent assessment of the implementation of land acquisition and resettlement activities for the entire Corridor. Specific role of the EMA for this road section is described in Chapter 11 – Monitoring. Figure 1 below shows the LARP implementation for this Project.

Implementation Schedule
101. Contractors for the civil works for km 404 – km 483 are expected to mobilize in December 2009. Related to this, the LARP needs to be fully implemented and evaluated not later than November 2009. LARP implementation activities can start after the mobilization and training of staff for the ad hoc Land Acquisition and Resettlement Unit (LARU) scheduled in August 2009. Implementation is expected to take between three to four months from the finalization of land acquisition documents, negotiation of compensation with APs, compensation payments, re-registration of plots and internal/external monitoring.
102. Civil works for the Project will be divided into two contracts. One contract will be for the upgrading of km 404 to km 443, and another for km 443 to km 483. Two separate teams will be mobilized to implement the LARP activities for both sections. Depending on which section can be completed first, LARP review can be done separately for each section which will be used as basis for contract awards. Table 26 shows the activities involved in the LARP preparation, finalization and implementation and the agencies/units involved. A summary of the Land acquisition process is shown in Appendix E.
