  ABSTRACT: Livelihood Restoration Plans (LRPs) are prepared within a framework of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) for livelihood restoration of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs). However, experience has shown that there is a gap of information on implementation of the prepared LRPs. Therefore, the study explored livelihood restoration of the PAPs for the purpose of generating the empirical knowledge that could inform the pathway for livelihood restoration in land acquisition for development projects. The study was carried out by using qualitative research approach through case study of the Standard Gauge Railway Project in Tanzania. The research findings indicate that PAPs do not know about the LRPs. Also, the study concludes that preparation of LRPs within a framework of IFIs without integration of the local environments is not practicable. Therefore, it is recommended that a framework of local environments should be considered in LRP preparations as a key to livelihood restorations of the PAPs.
