Corrective action and mitigation measures for past, ongoing and future land acquisition and resettlement for the Sougueta Integrated Cement Plant Project
Client : Diamond Cement Guinea SA (DCGN)
Mission:
Diamond Cement Guinea (DCGN) is a subsidiary of the WACEM (West African Cement) group, a clinker and cement producer with operations throughout West Africa. DCGN is implementing the Sougueta Integrated Cement Plant Project in Guinea.
The Project includes the construction of a clinker plant, a grinding unit, two limestone quarries and two waste rock dumps. The mining concessions covers approximately 121 km². The several constructions started in 2016 and have been going on since.
DCGN wishes to ensure the compliance of the Project with IFC Performance Standard 5 (PS:5) requirements. Hence, DCGN solicited Insuco for an audit and a social review regarding the social impact of prior operations, including a corrective action plan, as well as for the development of a policy framework and measures with regard to current and future economic and physical displacement.
Specific objectives
The specific objectives were the following:
- Conduct all the tasks in compliance with statutory as well as IFC Performance Standard 5 (PS:5) requirements;
- Allow DCGN to assess, anticipate, avoid or limit any negative impact of the Project on the population and local key stakeholders;
- Undertake relevant stakeholder consultations to fulfill the objectives of the mission.
Results:
Insuco has submitted:
- An inception report with a workplan;
- A detailed Corrective Action Plan (audit report) for the past physical and economic displacement;
- A Livelihood Restoration Plan for the past physical and economic displacement;
- A Resettlement Policy Framework including a Social Baseline survey, a price matrix and an entitlement matrix.
