The Resettlement Framework (RF) is a document containing a record of the procedures, actions and commitments which will be taken to compensate the people and households impacted by the Project, consistent with the laws of Albania and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s (EBRD) applicable environmental and social policies.

The document is a “framework” in the sense that it is being prepared before final design of the project has been determined, and before all baseline surveys have been undertaken to determine final land access and acquisition related impacts. The LRF therefore serves as a basis for the future development of a detailed Livelihood Restoration Plan (LRP).

This framework has been prepared by Steyn Reddy Associates (SRA), in close collaboration with and on behalf of Voltalia S.A, and its wholly owned Albanian subsidiary, Karavasta Solar sh.p.k (Voltalia).
