Individuals Displaced: Compensated (PI3009)

This metric is intended to capture the number of individuals (whether clients of the organization or not) displaced from their homes as a result of projects funded by the organization and who are compensated for their resettlement. For example, if the organization constructs a new road and, in the process, displaces 50 people, of whom 30 are compensated, the value of this metric would be 30. Organizations should footnote details of the displacement and corresponding compensation.

Organizations are encouraged to report this metric in conjunction with Individuals Displaced: Total (PI1297). For more on this topic, see EBRD’s Resettlement Guidance and Best Practice (https://www.ebrd.com/publications/resettlement-guidance-good-practice.pdf).

This metric may most apply to projects involving the construction or renovation of large-scale infrastructure, as well as building projects.

This metric is often used by International Finance Institutions (IFIs) as part of infrastructure analysis.

This metric is multidimensional with regard to the five dimensions of impact. It may help describe the WHO dimension of impact, which details which stakeholders the investment or enterprise aims to reach with the outcome, and may also describe the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. The selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
