Africa: National Resettlement Framework

The expansion of projects in Guinea is encroaching on communities, necessitating resettlement. Careful management is required to guide these processes and ensure positive and sustainable outcomes for affected peoples. Suitable legislation or a clearly defined and enforced framework is not in place, so resettlement happens in an ad hoc fashion. In 2018, SRK was commissioned to develop a National Resettlement Framework. It is intended that a government decree be developed and signed into law, making the framework legally binding and enforceable.
