Elaboration of the Lokoa RAP for Tractebel – Guinea

Client : Tractebel​

Mission:

Tractebel is a subsidiary of the Engie group, specialised in the energy infrastructure sector, and has been selected by the French Development Agency (AFD) to carry out feasibility studies and environmental and social impact assessment of the Lokoa dam on the Loffa River in Forest Guinea. In this context, Tractebel mandated Insuco to implement the social components related to the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and to design a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).

Insuco has therefore developed the RAP in accordance with international standards. To this end, our experts conducted socio-economic surveys in the impacted area, identified all the properties of future physically displaced persons and infrastructure, identified relocation sites, established a price and eligibility matrix, produced an estimated budget and timetable for the implementation of the RAP, as well as provided a monitoring and evaluation mechanism for the RAP.

A photo-interpretation of land occupation and an identification of resource areas completed this analysis. 

Results:

The following deliverables have been provided to the client:

  • A non-technical summary;
