RAP (Resettlement Action Plan): step-by-step guide for any project displacing populations
On an infrastructure project, nothing is harder to remedy than a poorly conducted RAP. It is the deliverable that engages the project owner's reputation for ten years. Its quality hinges on six stages, all visible from the lender's due diligence.

Labour influx: anticipating impacts on host communities
A large construction site attracts workers, but also vendors, transporters and families. Within a few months, a rural locality sees its population swell, its rents rise and its health centre become saturated. These effects are not random. They can be anticipated, assessed and managed.
Consultation and participation: conducting successful focus groups in rural areas
A failed consultation is not visible on the day itself. Everyone has spoken, the photos are taken, the minutes are signed. The defect appears during due diligence, when the lender asks who was in the room, who was not, and what the absent would have said. The focus group is the tool that determines this answer.
Contractors' workers: how far does the developer's responsibility extend
On a large construction site, the developer rarely employs the majority of the people working there. Earthworks, formwork, security, catering, transport: everything goes through contractors. Yet IFC PS2 refuses to allow this delegation to dilute responsibility. It draws a precise line between what the client must guarantee and what remains outside its control.
