Two energy development projects were examined as the basis of recommending improvements in how resettlement issues are handled. One of these illustrated the following problems: lack of a proper communication channel from the implementing body to the local residents; the failure to address the resettlers own preferences; the compensation scheme for the resettlers did not allow them to re-build their livelihoods; employment of local people in project-related activities was only marginal; and the development of communities and local industry failed to benefit the resettlers.
