Executive Summary 1. Summary of the URP The Subproject involves the upgrading of a Class-1 highway into a municipal highway with auxiliary lanes to integrate intersecting roads and meet mixed traffic demand, thereby ensuring fast passage on the main lanes, and improving the traffic and service capacity of the highway network greatly. In June 2019, a resettlement plan (original RP) was submitted to and approved by ADB based on draft feasibility study report (FSR). However, there were some changes specific to the increase of roadbed width when the FRS was finally approved in October 2019. According to the approved FSR, it was found that the length of the design road remained unchanged, while the roadbed width increased to 62 meters from 57 meters in draff FSR, so about 2.5 meters of slope land is reserved on both sides of the road. The slopes are irregular shape. Its width varies according to the actual use of land by the road. Amount of resettlement impacts of this project corresponding has also changed. The subproject plans to acquire 328.7 mu of collective land②, an increase of 144.64 mu compared with those in original RP. 163 HHs and 773 persons will be affected by acquisition of agricultural land and 51 HHs and 179 persons will be affected by acquisition of construction land and house demolition. In addition, among those who will be affected by agricultural land, 36 HHs and 122 persons are overlapped due to house demolition. As a result, the project will affect 178 households and 830 people in total, an increase of 10 households and 37 people compared with those in original RP. Along with land acquisition, rural residential houses of 6,666.61 m2 will be demolished, affecting 36 households with 122 persons, of which 31 households with 102 persons will also be affected by acquisition of agricultural land. Two enterprises will be affected partially which will lose some outdoor cement grounds. The Subproject will commence in December 2021 and be completed in April 2023, and land acquisition and house demotion will begin in September 2021 and will be completed in January 2022. As the construction of resettlement community is to be completed in December 2022, the relocation of AH will be completed in April 2023. The resettlement budget of the Subproject is 28.7401 million yuan, including land acquisition (occupation) costs, taxes, contingencies, etc., accounting for 5.06% of the gross budget of the Subproject.

2. LA and HD impacts The main types of resettlement impact of the Subproject are permanent LA and the demolition of rural residential houses. A total of 328.7 mu of collective land will be acquired for the project, of which 182.55 mu of collective agricultural land (including fishponds) and 146.15 mu of collective construction land (including 98.15 mu not included in the original RP). From the perspective of land types, 136.8 mu of arable land (41.62%), 45.75 mu of fishpond (13.92%), and 146.15 mu of collectively constructed land and unused land etc. (including 32.06 mu of housing land) (44.46%). In addition, the subproject occupies 90 mu of temporary land.

② In this updated RP, 328.7 mu of collective land will be acquired, which is slightly higher than the approved area of 321.84mu. During consultation meetings, AHs prefer to acquire some remaining small pieces of land.

Rural residential houses of 6,666.61 m2 will be demolished for the Subproject, including 5,545.01 m2 in masonry concrete structure (83.18%), 897.72 m2 in masonry timber structure (13.47%), 160.15 m2 in simple structure (2.40%) and a blockhouse of 63.67 m2 (3.05%), affecting 36 households with 122 persons, in which 31 households with 102 persons will also be affected by LA. The 36 households identified in this URP is same to those in original RP. A total of 178 households and 830 people will be affected by the Subproject, of which 132 HHs and 671 persons will be only affected by acquisition of agricultural land, 31 households with 102 persons will be affected by housings demolition and agricultural land acquisition, and 5 households with 20 persons will be affected by house demolition and construction land, and 10 households with 37 persons will be only affected by construction land. The Subproject affects 6 types of infrastructure and ground attachments. Furthermore, the Subproject will involve outdoor cement grounds of two enterprises with a total area of 1.91 mu: Wuhu Naiping Apparel Co., Ltd. and Wuhu Shenglong Property Investment Co., Ltd.

3. Policy framework and entitlements In order to minimize resettlement impacts, an optimum site was selected for the Subproject through consultation with the affected village groups and APs at the feasibility study stage. This RP is based on the Land Administration Law of the PRC (2004), Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28), Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition (MLR [2004] No.238), the applicable policies of Anhui Province, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). According to the above policies, and in consultation with local governments and affected persons (APs), the resettlement principles of the Subproject are: (1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible; (2) The APs are granted compensation and rights that can at least maintain or even improve their livelihoods in the absence of the Subproject; (3) The APs are given compensation and assistance in resettlement whether legal title is available or not; (4) If the land available to everyone is insufficient to maintain his/her livelihood, replacement in cash or in kind and other income-generating activities shall be provided for the lost land; (5) The APs fully understand their entitlements, the method and standard of compensation, the livelihood and income restoration program, and the schedule, and participate in the implementation of the RP; (6) No land should be acquired before the APs are satisfied with the compensation and resettlement program; (7) The executing agency and an independent agency / third party shall monitor the compensation, relocation and resettlement operations; (8) The vulnerable groups shall be provided special assistance or treatment so that they lead a better life, and all APs shall have an opportunity to benefit from the Subproject; (9) The RP is consistent with the master plans of the affected city (district, county); and (10) The resettlement costs are sufficient to cover all affected aspects.

4. Resettlement strategy Compensation for permanently acquired land includes land compensation, resettlement subsidy and young crop compensation. The uniform AAOV rate for farmland in Jiujiang District is 1,760 yuan/mu (Tanggou Town), and the compensation multiple is 22 for farmland (7 for land compensation and 15 resettlement subsidy), or 11 for construction and unused land (5 for land compensation and 6 resettlement subsidy). The HD compensation rates are 850-1,000 yuan/m2 for masonry concrete structures, 450-800 yuan/m2 for masonry timber structures, 200-310 yuan/m2 for simple concrete structures, the moving subsidy is 800 yuan per household and the transition subsidy is 6 yuan/m2 for an initial period of 18

- 2 -

months. If the resettlement community is not ready for the APs to move into after 18 months, they will receive additional transition allowances of 12 yuan/m2 until the resettlement apartments are ready for move in. Income restoration measures include cash compensation, skills training and preferential employment under the Subproject. Since the subproject area is linear in shape, it will have little impact on each AH and its agricultural production. Two options, cash compensation and property swap, were offered for affected households affected by house demolition. All 36 households chose property swap in terms of resettlement detailed measurement survey and consultations. Tanggou Town will build the Xiwanyuan Community, which will be the located in west of Heihe Road, south of Weierzhi Road, east of Jingsi Road, and north of Chujiang Avenue. The community will start construction in December 2021 and will be completed in December 2022. The resettlement community will contain green space, medical and health infrastructure/facilities. The land for resettlement community was state-owned that was reserved in 2010 by the government and now is vacant and ready for construction. The PMO confirmed that there is no legacy issue.

5. Vulnerable groups and women 7 vulnerable (MLS and five-guarantee) households will be affected by the Subproject. In addition to the above resettlement policies, they will be provided with some assistance to improve their production and living conditions: The Subproject will affect 405 women (about 48.8% of the affected population). During subproject implementation, at least 30% of unskilled jobs will be first made available to women. Women will receive equal pay for equal work and enjoy priority in skills training. Among the 150 people to be trained under the Subproject in total, not less than 80 will be women (over 50%). Compensation agreements must be signed by couples. A special FGD with women has been held to introduce resettlement policies and improve women’s awareness.

6. Public participation and information disclosure All APs (with 30% being women) have been informed of the key points of this RP by various means, such as consultation meetings, interviews, FGD, public participation meetings and community consultations, the suggestions and concerns raised from pubic participations have been recorded and have been incorporated into this RP. The Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) was distributed to the APs or groups in September 2019, and this URP will be published on ADB’s website by January 2021 and the revised RIB will be re-distributed in January 2021. If any concerns, the affected persons could contact relevant departments and get feedbacks through contact information in Table 7-4.

7. Grievance redress A grievance redress mechanism has been established, and the agencies concerned will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and all costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingencies. The aim is to respond to appeals of the APs timely and transparently. Grievances about the Subproject may be from collective land acquisition, temporary land occupation, etc. Correspondingly, the WMHAB, Jiujiang PMO, Jiujiang District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission (JDHDC), and the affected township governments and village committees will coordinate and handle grievances and appeals arising from resettlement. The APs may file appeals about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates.

Anhui PMO is responsible for organizing the resettlement of the Subproject, formulating policies on resettlement activities of the Subproject, and coordinating relations among the resettlement agencies at all levels.

9. Resettlement M&E and reporting In order to ensure the successful implementation of this RP, resettlement implementation will be subject to internal and external monitoring. Internal monitoring will be performed by Anhui PMO, WMHAB, Jiujiang PMO and other agencies concerned (e.g., natural resources bureau), and an internal monitoring report will be submitted to ADB quarterly. Anhui PMO will appoint an external agency by May 2021 to conduct external monitoring and evaluation (M&E) semiannually. M&E costs have been included in the resettlement budget.

1 Overview of the Subproject 1.1 Background and Description 1.1.1 Background The Subproject is a segment of Highway S319, which has been upgraded to G347 (from Nanjing to Delingha) is one of the east-to-west trunk highways newly added in the National Highway Network Development Plan (2013-2030), and also one of the 12 eastward trunk highways in the Infrastructure Development Plan for Industry Transfer Demonstration Zone of the Wanjiang City Belt. G347 runs through numerous towns in Hexian County, Jiujiang District, Zongyang County, Anqing City and Wangjiang County in Anhui Provinces, and plays an important role in Anhui’s transport network and economic development. The Subproject is located in Jiangbei Industry Cluster Zone in Wuhu City, with the Wuhu and Tongling Yangtze River Bridges on its wings. The strategic importance of this zone has improved with the planning and construction of a number of key transport infrastructure projects, such as the North Riverside Highway, Luzhou-Tongling Railway, Wuhu Second and Third Yangtze River Bridges, Cross-river Tunnel, and Shangqiu-Hefei-Hangzhou High-speed Railway. Jiujiang District is positioned as an important industry transfer demonstration zone in the Wanjiang City Belt, a political, cultural, transport and service center, and a livable waterfront urban district. The Subproject is located in Jiujiang District, Wuhu City. According to the Master Development Plan of Wuhu City (2012-2030), the city’s urban layout will consist of two belts and two axes, and Jiangbei Industry Cluster Zone is located in the North Riverside Urban Development Belt, where transport and public service facilities will be constructed gradually. 1.1.2 Components and Resettlement Impacts According to the approved FSR, the Subproject is a segment of Tongjiang Avenue (S319) (planned Jiangbei Avenue—Heshen Road segment), beginning with planned Jiangbei Avenue, running through Tanggou Town, and ending at planned Heshen Road, with a full length of 6.1685Km, 62 meters wide. Although the URP is updated based on approved FSR, the project scope has been fixed in light of existing alignments, and the detailed measurement survey has been done by local natural resources bureau, Jiujiang PMO, WMHAB (IA), Tanggou town government, Tanggou LA and HD management office, Design agency, Affected villages and APs as the red line for land acquisition has been finalized in July 2019. Following this, land acquisition has been approved by the Anhui Provincial Government on 28 October 2019. The Wuhu segment of Tongjiang Avenue has been upgraded and will be broadened directly for the Subproject. The original cross section is as follows: 2.5m sidewalk + 8.0m auxiliary lane + 4.75m separation strip + 0.5m side strip + 3×3.75m driveway + 0.5m side strip + 2.0m central separation strip + 0.5m side strip + 3×3.75m driveway + 0.5m side strip + 4.75m separation strip + 8.0m auxiliary lane + 2.5 sidewalk, with a roadbed width of 57m and a design speed of 80km/h. The Subproject consists of: 1) Road Construction; 2) Bridge and Culvert Construction; 3) Crossing Construction; and 4) Traffic Construction. The roadbed width is 57 meters in draft FSR, but 62 meters in approved FSR. About 2.5 meters of slope land is reserved on each side. But the slope is irregular, because the slope width is determined by the terrain and surrounding land use. So the original RP land acquisition data needs to be updated. See Table 1-1 for details. For the land occupation of irregular slopes, please refer to Figure 1-1 of the project survey boundary.

1.1.3 Summary of Resettlement Impacts The Subproject will affect 178 households with 830 persons in total: 1) 328.7 mu of collective land will be acquired. Among them, 136.8 mu of arable land, 45.75 mu of fishponds, and 146.15 mu of collective construction land (including housing plot affected by house demolition) in the villages. 2) Rural residential houses of 6,666.61 m2 will be demolished, affecting 36 households with 122 persons, of which 31 households with 102 persons will also be affected by LA. See Table 1-3. For temporary land use that is mainly induced by mixing yards, and construction and living areas, the sites to be used have not specified yet, but will be located in villages where the vacant construction land will be selected, and the farmland will be avoided. Therefore, no person is expected to be affected directly.

Note: Total HH or Population= those affected by acquisition of agricultural land + those affected by acquisition of construction land – those affected by HD 1.2 Social and Economic Benefits 1) The Subproject will improve the traffic capacity and service level of the national highway. It involves the upgrading of a Class-1 highway into a municipal highway with auxiliary lanes to integrate intersecting roads and meet mixed traffic demand. 2) Since S319 runs through development zones and industrial parks, the Subproject will promote industry clustering and urbanization. 3) The Subproject will improve the provincial highway network, and the traffic and service capacity of the highway network greatly. 4) The Subproject will promote industry transfer from the Yangtze River to the Wanjiang City Belt that consists of Anqing, Chizhou, Tongling, Chaohu, Wuhu and Ma’anshan Cities. 5) The Subproject will promote the orderly transfer of surplus rural labor to nonagricultural industries and towns, increase the income of farmers, and promote the economic and social development of Wuhu City. 6) The Subproject is necessary for improving the regional highway network and meeting the increasing traffic demand.

1.3 Resettlement Budget and Implementation Schedule The gross investment in the Subproject is 567.8388 million yuan, including self-raised funds of 479.4388 million yuan (84.43% of the investment), and an ADB loan of US$13.6 million (equivalent to 88.4 million yuan or 15.57% of the investment). The resettlement budget of the Subproject is 28.7401 million yuan, accounting for 5.06% of the gross budget of the Subproject. The Subproject will start in December 2021 and complete in April 2023. Correspondingly, land acquisition and house demolition will be implemented from September 2021 to January 2022. As the construction of resettlement community will take longer time, the AHs affected by house demolition will be relocated in April 2023 after construction of resettlement community is ready in December 2022.

2 Impacts of the Subproject 2.1 Measures to Reduce Resettlement 2.1.1 Principles for Project Design and Site Selection Generally, the project mainly will be implemented along the existing alignments of S319 by adding non-motorized side road to connect access roads, and therefore the traffic organization and management, transportation capacity and traffic safety of the existing S319 will be improved. The road will be widened in terms of real situation along S319 so as to avoid house demolition as much as possible, but not compromise to road design and safety. The following principles were taken into accounting project design to minimize land acquisition and house demolition, including: • When encountering residential areas, the width of the road is appropriately narrowed to minimize the impact of house demolition • Involvement of affected people in project design of intersection scale to minimize resettlement impacts • Combining townships and villages development planning into project design and reserving spaces for long-term planning and development of townships and villages. • The vacant construction land will be selected for temporary land occupation, and the farmland will be avoided. 2.1.2 Range of the Survey Based on the approved FSR and approval document of land acquisition, resettlement for the Subproject will affect 178 households with 830 persons in 17 groups in 5 villages in one township (Tanggou Town) in Jiujiang District. See Table 2-1.

2.2 Survey Method and Process In January 2018, the Jiujiang District Transport Bureau appointed Anhui Transport Consulting & Design Institute to prepare the Feasibility Study Report of the Subproject. Anhui Transport Consulting & Design Institute conducted fieldwork with the assistance of WMHAB in February 2018, and completed the first draft Feasibility Study Report in April 2018. In September 2018, the task force conducted a socioeconomic survey in the subproject area based on the Feasibility Study Report, covering family population, resettlement impacts, household

income and expenditure, expected resettlement modes, etc. During the survey, the task force held two FGDs (see Appendix 2), and conducted extensive consultations. The task force also interviewed and collected information from the Jiujiang PMO, Jiujiang District Transport Bureau, Jiujiang District Natural Resources Bureau (JDNRB), LA and HD management office, social security bureau, etc. From September to October 2018, the RP was completed on the basis of the fieldwork, analyzing and evaluating the Subproject’s resettlement impacts and risks, and proposing remedies. In July 2019, the project DMS which has been completed by the Jiujiang PMO, WMHAB(IA), Jiujiang natural resources bureau, Tanggou town government, Tanggou LA and HD management office, Design agency, Affected villages and APs. In February and March, November 2020, on the basis of the approved FSR and DMS, and public participations that were conducted through virtual meetings with Jiujiang PMO and the village committees due to COVID-19 pandemic, the original resettlement plan was updated. The main findings of the survey are as follows:  Almost all APs are aware of and support the Subproject.  The Subproject involves permanent LA, HD and temporary land occupation mainly, and also affects small quantities of infrastructure and ground attachments.  Almost all APs think that they are affected slightly on LA. They may continue farming on their remaining land and prefer cash compensation.  Compensation should be paid in a timely and transparent manner with minimum intermediate links.

2.3 Impacts of Permanent LA 2.3.1 Permanent LA 328.7 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Subproject, including 136.8 mu of cultivated land (41.62%), 45.75 mu of fishpond (13.92%), 146.15 mu of collective construction land (accounting for 44.46%)①, an increase of 144.64 mu of collective land than the original RP of 184.06 mu which is mainly construction land and unused land. The project will affect 178 households and 830 people, an increase of 10 households and 37 people more than those the original RP. See Table 2-2.

2.3.2 Impact Analysis LA for the Subproject will affect 17 groups (only fishponds are affected in Xiangdian and Zhouqiao Groups) in 5 villages in one township (Tanggou Town) in Jiujiang District. This section focuses on the 15 groups in 5 villages affected by the acquisition of cultivated land. 328.7 mu of collective land will be acquired, a total of 178 households and 830 people will be affected. Among them, 136.8 mu of cultivated land, 45.75 mu of ponds, and 146.15 mu of collective construction land in the villages. 163 households and 773 persons will be affected by agricultural land acquisition. Based on a comparative analysis, except Xiaorui (0.68 mu per capita), Huangcun (0.57 mu per capita) and Xiaoshang (0.62 mu per capita) Groups, the other groups will have per capita cultivated areas of over 1 mu after LA. All the 15 affected groups have land loss rates of below 28.48%. It can be seen that the affected groups will be not be affected too severely by LA in general.

① In this update RP, 328.7 mu of collective land is planned to be acquired, including 6.86 mu of fish pond land in the rural corner, which contains the remaining part. Due to the inconvenience of scattered villagers, the villagers hope to acquire it together, so the land acquisition area is slightly higher than the approved area of 321.84mu .

After LA, per capita income loss ranges from 252.88 yuan (Xiaoshang Group of Banqiao Village) to 1.92 yuan (Dayao Group of Louti Village); Xiaoshang Group of Banqiao Village has the highest per capita income loss rate of 2.68%, followed by Jiazhuang Group of Mawei Village (1.95%), while the income loss rates of the other groups are below 1%. See Table 2-3.

Since the Subproject is linear in shape, and involves expansion or reconstruction from the existing highway, each AH will be affected slightly by LA. 138 AHs have land loss rates of below 10% (84.66%), 16 between 10%-20% (9.82%), and 9 between 20%-30% (5.5%). No AH has a land loss rate of 30% or more. See Tables 2-4 and 2-5. According to the socio-economic HH survey, agricultural income accounts for 15.7% of the total income, so all AH’s income loss induced by cultivated land acquisition is less than 5%. The main income sources of the AHs are outside employment, vegetable cultivation and stockbreeding. Almost no AH relies completely on farming. In Xiaoshang Group of Banqiao Village affected more seriously, laborers mostly work outside, dealing with construction, and some women and old people deal with vegetable cultivation, stockbreeding and aquaculture. In sum, LA will have little impact on income.

Since the affected villages vary in socioeconomic profile and LA impacts, restoration programs have been developed based on degree of impact, land availability and their expectations. See Table 2-7. Cash compensation is the mode desired by and available to each AH. An AH may use cash compensation for agricultural or nonagricultural resettlement (including employment training, outside employment, doing business, etc.), or endowment insurance for LEFs.

2.4.2 Acquisition of collective construction land The land acquisition for this project involves a total of 146.15 mu of village collective construction land, including rural roads, and unused construction land, etc. A total of 51 households with 179 persons will be affected. Among them, the acquisition of housing land affects 36 households and 122 persons, and other construction land including vacant housing land affects 15 households and 57 persons where the houses are not built and affected households have other houses in villages.

2.4 Impacts on households of fish farm Among those affected by agricultural LA, 15 fishermen contract fishponds in 11 village groups in 3 villages. The contractor, Jiang Shangwei, and Sanyuan Village signed a fishpond contracting agreement (see Appendix 1). The other fishpond contracts in Louti Village and Mawei Village follow the same model as that made by Sanyuan Village. The rent is based on the size of the fishpond. The local area is mainly farming grass carp. The market price of grass carp is about 12 yuan per kilogram, and the contract period is 5 years. Jiang Shangwei, a household contractor in Sanyuan Village, signed the fishpond contracting agreement in March 2015. The contract period ended in March 2020. The rent for 3 years of 3 mu of fishpond totals 36,700 yuan, and the net profit of fish farming is about 10,000 yuan per year. The contract period of the fishpond in Louti village is 5 years. It started in 2016 and will end in 2021. The rent is about 2446.7 yuan per mu per year. According to consultation, the fishpond contractor and Louti village agreed that the contract can be terminated in advance, and the rent will be refunded by Louti village in terms of the remaining contract period. The contractor could rent fishpond nearby to continue fish farming out of redline of the road based on his/her willingness. The contract period of the fishpond in Mawei Village is 10 years, paying for 5 years, the rent of fishpond is about 2446.7 yuan per mu every year, and the contract ended in 2019.

During the survey, it was found that the information of construction of subproject was disseminated among villages, the contracts were not renewed when they were expired. Therefore, the operation of fishpond was not affected. In sum, the fishponds affected by this project are relatively small. The fishponds belong to the way of simple stocking and natural stocking. The contractor's feeding input was limited. According to DMS and interviews in 2019, the income of fishponds is only a small part of household income (about 3~9% of household income). More income is earned by working locally. Therefore, it will not have a major impact on the livelihood of the affected people. See Table 2-8 for details.

2.5 Temporary Land Occupation Stockyards, mixing yards, borrow areas, spoil grounds, construction and living areas, etc. may involve temporary land occupation during construction. Compensation and land restoration costs shall be borne by the contractor. The project temporarily covers an area of about 90 mu land and involves 5 villages in Tanggou Town. According to survey, the sites to be used have not specified yet, but will be located in villages where the vacant construction land will be selected, and the farmland will be avoided. Therefore, no person is expected to be affected directly. See Table 2-9 for details. Table 2- 9 List of temporarily occupied villages

They are all Han people and do not belong to ethnic minorities. 7 households and 12 persons are affected by LA, of which 2 households and 5 persons are affected by HD at the same time. See Appendix 3.

1 For elderly, weak, widowed and disabled members who are unable to work and have no means of living, or whose households lack labor, a rural production cooperative would provide production and living assistance, including daily supplies, education for the young and burial for the elderly. The local subsidy for five-guarantee households is not less than 2,100 yuan per annum. 2 The local MLS standard is 662 yuan per month in terms of "Notice of the Office of the Wuhu Municipal People's Government on Adjusting the Urban and Rural Subsistence Allowance and Other Social Assistance Guarantee Standards" Wuzheng Office Secretary [2019] No. 31 that was issued on 12 September 2019, and would be adjusted along with socioeconomic development.

2.8.3 Affected Women 405 women will be affected by the Subproject, accounting for 48.8% of the affected population. According to the survey, the affected women enjoy the same rights as men, including land contracting, education, family planning and election, and play an important role in family decisions. Women do housework and deal with sideline operations (e.g., stockbreeding) mainly, while men mostly do farm work or work outside. The average working time of women is almost 1.2 times that of men. By sector, women are advantaged in catering, social services, apparel processing, etc., but disadvantaged in construction and transport. Boys and girls have equal opportunities in education, and parents are always willing to support their children’s education. According to the survey, women have the same concerns as those of men: (a) Compensation should be strictly based on the applicable state laws and regulations, and paid timely; (b) LA compensation should be paid directly to the AHs; and (c) New houses should be constructed before old houses are demolished.

Women have the following needs that are different from those of men: (a) Women expect both cash compensation and land reallocation; (b) Women expect skills training in crop cultivation, stockbreeding and handicrafts; and (c) Women also expect to participate in village-level management.

2.9 Affected Ground Attachments and Infrastructure The Subproject affects 6 types of attachments, including house attachments, telegraph poles, timber trees, fruit trees, etc. See Table 2-13.

Table 3-4 Distances to Nearby Facilities Item Average distance To the county town (Km) 1.36 To the nearest school (Km) 1.68 To the nearest hospital (Km) 1.23 To the nearest bus stop (Km) 1.32

3.2.6 Land Resources The 38 sampled households affected by LA have a total cultivated area 161.12 mu, averaging 0.92 mu per capita or 3.7 mu per household. The main crops are paddy rice, corn and vegetables. 3.2.7 Household Properties Among the 47 sampled households, an average household has 1.81 TV sets, 1.25 refrigerators / air-conditioners, 0.98 hi-fi, 3.45 fixed telephones / cell phones, 1.26 bicycles / motorcycles, and 0.83 tractor / water pump, indicating that their living standard is medium. 3.2.8 Household Income and Expenditure 1) Income The per capita annual income of the sampled households is 12,170.57 yuan, including agricultural income of 1,943.56 yuan, accounting for 15.70%, stockbreeding income of 1,364.74 yuan, accounting for 11.20%, wage income of 2,079.58 yuan, accounting for 17.09%, outside employment income of 6,207.68 yuan, accounting for 51.01%, subsidy income of 123.68 yuan, accounting for 1.00%, other nonagricultural income of 324.05 yuan, accounting for 2.66%, and property income of 127.10 yuan, accounting for 1.04%. 2) Expenditure The per capita annual expenditure of the sampled households is 8,380.37 yuan, including operating expenses of 5,134.56 yuan, accounting for 61%, nonproductive expenses of 3,157.66 yuan, accounting for 38%, and other expenses of 88.15 yuan, accounting for 1%.

3.3 Sample Survey on Women 3.3.1 Summary In order to learn more about affected local women, the task force conducted a survey on women by means of interview, questionnaire and FGD. No woman-headed household (bereavement of spouse, divorce, abandonment, etc.) was identified. 3.3.2 Income Women’s occupations restrict their income, because farming and housework are not counted in income, and only outside employment does. The survey shows that the average proportion of men’s income to household income (73.88%) is much higher than women’s (26.12%). Therefore, the recessiveness of women’s income restricts their family status. See Table 3-6.

Table 3-6 Household Income by Gender Item Proportion to household income Men (%) 73.88 Women (%) 26.12 Total 100

3.3.3 Educational Level The overall educational level of local women is much lower than that of men. More men (20.30%) have received senior high school or secondary technical school education than women (16.65%), fewer women (5.39%) have received junior college or above education than men (6.49%), and much more women (35.82%) have received primary school or below education than men (22.15%). See Table 3-7.

3.3.4 Occupation Local women mostly deal with farming and housework, and few work outside. Among the sampled women, 40.79% do housework, 52.31% deal with farming, 6.9% work outside together with husbands or relatives, and few women work at nearby restaurants, hotels and factories. In contrast, 8.81% of men do housework, 60.07% deal with farming and 31.12% work outside. See Table 3-8.

3.3.5 Expected Resettlement Mode Cash compensation is the mode desired by and available to each AH (agricultural land). An AH may use cash compensation for agricultural or nonagricultural resettlement (including employment training, outside employment, doing business, etc.), or endowment insurance for LEFs. 80.12% of women prefer agricultural resettlement, and 21.69% prefer nonagricultural resettlement. This is closely associated with their current occupations and division of labor. See Table 3-9.

3.4 Additional Households in this URP Except house plots, other vacant construction land affects 10 households with 38 persons, who do not build houses on these land, but live in other houses in villages; The socio-economic profiles of these households are similar to the samples presented in Section 3.2, with a high degree of homogeneity. In the virtual interview in March 2020, all affected households hope to receive full monetary compensation in accordance with local compensation standards.

3.5 Summary According to survey and consultation, it could be concluded that: 1) Since the Subproject is linear in shape, its LA impacts are minor. Households affected more seriously may cover endowment insurance for LEFs, according to the Notice of Wuhu Municipal People's Government Office on Further Regulating Matters Concerning the Participation of Basic Pension Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers (Wuzhengbanmi[2020] No.27), the people after land acquisition by this subproject whose land is less than 0.3mu/person and who is aged over 16 years old will be entitled to endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers. When acquiring collective land since 2020, additional 19,500yuan/person subsidy for land-expropriated farmers will be borne by Jiujiang government that is not part of compensation of LA paid to affected persons.. 2) LA will have little impact on income, because farming is not a main income source;

9 In the subproject area, most villagers deal with other operations while farming to increase income. For example, in most families, old people farm at home, and their sons and daughters-in-law work outside or deal with other non-agricultural operations, so the statistics here may overlap.

3) Most APs think that the Subproject is beneficial to all and support the Subproject as long as compensation is reasonable, fair and timely. 4) With regard to fishpond contractors, they were informed in advance and their existing contracts were not renewed or could be pre-terminated with refund as per agreed contractual agreements. Fishfarms are available to rent in nearby areas and the fishpond contractors could continue their fishfarming.

4.2 Abstract of the ADB Policy ADB’s policy on involuntary resettlement has three key elements: (1) compensation for lost properties, livelihoods and income; (2) assistance in resettlement, including the provision of a resettlement site, and appropriate facilities and services; and (3) assistance for restoration, as a minimum, to the standard of living in the absence of the project, taking into account the following basic principles: 1. Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. 2. Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernmental organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and

those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. 3. Improve or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. 4. Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. 5. Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing. 6. Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status. 7. Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of nonland assets. 8. Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. 9. Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders. 10. Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation. 11. Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic relocation. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. 12. Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports.

4.3 Key Provisions of PRC Laws, Regulations and Policies The Land Administration Law of the PRC is the main policy basis of the Subproject. The Ministry of Land and Resources and the Anhui Provincial Government have promulgated policies and regulations on this basis. The Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28) promulgated in October 2004 defines the principles and rates of compensation and resettlement for LA, and LA procedures and monitoring system. These legal documents constitute the legal basis for resettlement in the Subproject. In order to regulate LA, and protect the lawful rights and interests of collective land owners and users, appropriate municipal and district measures and regulations have been developed in accordance with the Real Right Law of the PRC, Land Administration Law of the PRC and its

implementation regulations, Measures of Anhui Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC, etc. See Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 Key Provincial, Municipal and District Provisions on LA Item Key provisions Index 1.

4.4 Main Differences between the ADB Policy and PRC Laws

The main aspects of the legal system include the collective land acquisition, the procedures for transferring collective land to the state, house demolition on collective land in rural areas, and house demolition on state-owned land in urban areas triggering the need for compensating and relocating persons, households, and communities. Key gaps between SPS and the PRC’s system and how to the bridge the gaps are as follows:  Lack of identification of the poor and vulnerable groups during the screening process. Specific to vulnerable households (men, women, ethnic groups), they are identified by the Government as those who belong to the (i) Five-Guarantee program (the elderly, weak, widowed and disabled members who are unable to work and have no means of living, or whose households lack labor) who are being provided with production and living assistance (e.g. food, clothing, fuel, education and burial expenses) and (ii) those eligible for the Minimum Living Guarantee System who are provided with living subsidy each month. Furthermore, identification of the poor and vulnerable households are only done during implementation. Those who are not considered as vulnerable groups as per Government definition but may become at risk of being vulnerable or experience hardship due to impacts of LA/HD; i.e., may need special support during the transition period (e.g. during relocation such as provision of labor, transport) will also be identified and will be provided with necessary assistance. Those who belong to ethnic minorities, the elderly, and women-headed-households who do not fall under the Government criteria require greater in-depth assessment during the DMS to determine their vulnerability. In this subproject, special funds are available to assist the vulnerable groups. All measures have been specified in the RP.

 Lack of documentation on the consultation and information disclosure activities, and grievances received. Meetings and interviews held with the affected households are reflected in the RP and will continue to be documented during implementation. The grievance redress will also be documented as part of the monitoring reports. Disclosure of the key information in the RP will be carried out through the distribution of resettlement information booklets in local language.

 Inadequate social and risk analysis as resettlement planning is focused on loss of land and impacts on houses. An impact assessment was carried out during RP planning through the conduct of socioeconomic surveys, consultation meetings, inventory of losses, and key informant interviews. Gender analysis was also carried out. Such measures led to the preparation of project entitlements, relocation, rehabilitation, and gender strategies; and they are reflected in this RP.

 Assistance to households who are not eligible for compensation of houses at replacement cost. Based on the Regulations on the Demolition and Compensation of Houses on State-owned Land (2011), the illegal houses and temporary structures which were constructed after the approval period will not be compensated. However, if the APs belong to the vulnerable groups and are in need of housing, they will be assisted in securing affordable housing or low-rent housing which is according to the Regulations to Solve the Housing Difficulties for the Low Income HHs issued by State Council [GF 2007, No 24], affordable housing and low-rent housing should be provided to the households who have housing difficulties. The affected HHs can apply the affordable housing and low-rent housing. Compensation for non-land assets will be at replacement cost and provision of resettlement assistance similar to those who have licensed houses provided that the affected households meet the Project’s cut-off date. If an earlier cut-off date has been established by the Government, the Government’s cut-off date will be followed provided that the following conditions are met: (i) copy of Halt Notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition/ pre-notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition published, (ii) documents confirming dissemination of information (billboards, minutes of

public meetings, letters to households, newspapers, websites, broadcast, etc), and (iii) confirmation from households that they were informed about the cut-off-date verbally and in writing. For households who are not eligible for compensation for houses at replacement cost, the history or reason why the structure has no certification/license; and their socio-economic conditions and vulnerability will be assessed by the Project (through its local government and concerned bureaus) to determine the necessary assistance that can be provided to them to ensure that they will be able to restore or will not be worse-off. In this subproject, there were no illegal houses found.

 Inadequate monitoring and reporting arrangements Monitoring is not done on a regular basis. Different implementing agencies have their own way of monitoring and documenting the process. For this Project, regular monitoring and submission of monitoring reports will be carried out. Monitoring reports will be disclosed in public. All monitoring reports will be submitted to ADB.

4.5 Cut-off Date The cut-off date for the eligibility for compensation was 28 October, 2019, and had been disclosed after the feasibility study report is approved. Any newly claimed land, newly built house or settlement by the APs after this date will not be entitled to compensation or subsidization. Any building constructed or tree planted purely for extra compensation will not be considered.

4.6 Compensation Rates 4.6.1 LA LA compensation rates: According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition, Measures of Anhui Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC, and other applicable policies and regulations, LA compensation includes land compensation, resettlement subsidy, young crop compensation, etc. The LA compensation rates of the Subproject are based on the Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition (APG [2015] No.24). See Table 4-3. During implementation, if there are any new issued documents, the updated compensation rates will be applied. The young crop compensation rates are based on the Notice of the Wuhu Municipal Government on Young Crop Compensation Rates on Collective Land in the Urban Area (WMG [2016] No.59). See Table 4-4.

4.6.2 Rural Residential Houses All residential houses to be demolished for the Subproject are rural residential houses. The HD compensation rates of the Subproject are based on the Interim Regulations on Compensation and Resettlement for House Acquisition on Collective Land in the Jiangbei Area (WMGO [2016] No.8). The rates are made based on local housing replacement cost formulated and issued by Wuhu City Government, which have been applied in other similar domestic projects and accepted by affected households. See Table 4-5. The final compensation will be determined based on appraisal conducted by a qualified real estate appraisal agency. For resettlement community construction, the PMO committed to speed up the construction progress to shorten AP’s transition period.

According to practice in Wuwei County, temporarily occupied land will be compensated at 1,200 yuan/mu per year in Fudu Town. The period of occupation will not exceed two years. The contractor will be responsible for restoration of the temporary land occupation after the expiry of the above period, and relevant costs will be covered by the subproject. As indicated Section 2.6, the subproject will occupy the vacant construction land along the road and avoid farmland. However, in case that the agricultural land or vegetable garden needs to be temporarily occupied during the project implementation, the young crops will be compensated in terms of Table 4-4. In actual compensation, if the policy adjustment is improved, compensation will be made according to the increased standard.

5 Resettlement and Income Restoration 5.1 Resettlement Objective The objective of resettlement of the Subproject is to develop an action plan for restoration and restoration for those affected by the Subproject so that they benefit from the Subproject, and their living standard is improved or at least restored to the pre-project level.

5.2 Principles for Resettlement Some principles for resettlement and rehabilitation have been developed according to the above objectives: 1. Production and income restoration 1) The willingness of affected persons should be respected, and their existing production and living traditions maintained; 2) Resettlement rehabilitation programs should be tailored to impacts of LA and HD, and based on compensation rates for LA and HD; 3) Resettlement rehabilitation programs should be combined with group construction, resource development, economic development and environmental protection programs so as to ensure the sustainable development of the affected village groups and persons; and 4) The standard of living of vulnerable groups adversely affected by the Subproject should be improved. 2. House reconstruction 1) AHs may select the mode of house reconstruction, including self-construction under unified planning; construction sites shall be determined by the village groups in consultation with the AHs; 2) New housing sites for house reconstruction should be provided to the AHs for free, and a moving subsidy should be granted; 3) The period of house reconstruction will be about two months; new housing will be constructed by the AHs themselves; they will obtain materials from their demolished housing for free, and the costs of such materials will not be deducted from compensation fees for HD; 4) Compensation fees for HD must be paid to the AHs before relocation; 5) The AHs must pay extra costs for additional living space or higher housing quality at their own discretion; and 6) During house reconstruction and relocation, the village committees, township governments and PMO will provide assistance to households in difficulty.

5.3 Restoration Program for LA 5.3.1 Summary Based on the expected resettlement modes, different resettlement and income restoration programs have been developed through adequate consultation during the socioeconomic survey, as detailed below: 5.3.1.1 Cash compensation The village groups and households affected by LA for the Subproject will receive cash compensation. In Tanggou Town, the compensation rate for farmland is 38,720 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), and that for construction and unused land 19,360 yuan/mu. Land compensation will be paid fully and directly to the AHs without land adjustment, and compensation for young crops and attachments will be paid directly to the AHs.

The AHs may take agricultural and agricultural livelihood restoration measures themselves after receiving cash compensation. 5.3.1.2 Agricultural resettlement Due to local restraints, most affected groups have per capita cultivated areas of less than 2 mu before LA. After LA for the Subproject, no affected group will have a land loss rate of 30% or more, where land loss rates of two groups will be within 10%-20%, and those of the other 13 less than 10%, accounting for 86.67%. In addition, since the Subproject is linear in shape, the affected groups will be affected slightly, and the AHs will still have most of their land. Therefore, agricultural resettlement is a means of livelihood restoration for the AHs. WMHAB, JDHDC, the Jiujiang PMO and the IA have developed the following agricultural development measures for the Subproject through consultation with the Tanggou Town Government – cotton field demonstration, greenhouse vegetable cultivation and characteristic aquaculture. These 3 efficient agriculture patterns are expected to increase agricultural income by 20%. 1) Cotton field demonstration: Demonstration households will receive technical guidance to increase the unit output of cotton fields, including inter-planting with corn, garlic, celtuce, green bean and potato, with expected income of 30,000-50,000 yuan/mu; 2) Greenhouse vegetable cultivation: Steel greenhouses will be erected for vegetable cultivation, with expected annual income of 5,000-10,000 yuan/mu; and 3) Characteristic aquaculture: Characteristic aquaculture will be developed on a large scale, with focus on river crab and blowfish, with expected annual income of 20,000-35,000 yuan per household. 5.3.1.3 Employment 1) Employment guidance A special job fair will be organized for LEFs, and employment information, labor protection and legal consulting services provided to them to promote their nonagricultural employment. 2) Jobs generated by the Subproject The Subproject will generate 220 temporary jobs annually during construction (two years), including 100 skilled and 120 unskilled jobs, and 28 permanent jobs at the operation and maintenance stage, including 18 unskilled and 10 skilled jobs. Jobs generated at the construction and operation stages will be first made available to LEFs to promote their employment, such as road maintenance and cleaning. 3) Skills training Free nonagricultural and agricultural skills training will be offered to AHs (about 150 person- times). a) Trainees Laborers with local registered residence, affected by LA, having attained 18 years, and with a certain educational level b) Scope Agricultural skills training will cover fine vegetable cultivation and freshwater aquaculture. Nonagricultural skills training will cover cooking, sewing, housekeeping, driving, cable making, etc. In addition, farmers working outside will be trained on urban life, protection of rights and interests, work safety, disaster prevention and relief, state employment policy, etc. c) Arrangements Training will be offered by the Jiujiang District Labor and Social Security Bureau. 5.3.1.4 Endowment insurance for LEFs 1) Scope and subjects

According to Opinions on further improving the old-age security system for land-expropriated farmers in urban areas (Wuzhengban [2008] No.12, and Notice of Wuhu Municipal People's Government Office on Further Regulating Matters Concerning the Participation of Basic Pension Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers (Wuzhengbanmi [2020] No.27, subjects include: All LEFs within the urban area of Wuhu City may be covered by basic endowment insurance voluntarily after January 1, 1990; those not covered by basic endowment insurance will receive a pension subsidy; those eligible for endowment insurance for urban employees are encouraged to enroll in endowment insurance for urban employees, and those covered by endowment insurance for urban employees are not eligible for endowment insurance for LEFs. When collective land is acquired, the AHs have decided to avail of the endowment insurance, additional 19,500 yuan/person subsidy will be borne by local government which LEFs can apply for 1,300 yuan/year for 15 years. This is the procedure for applying for an insurance fund: 2) Funding sources A pooling fund of endowment insurance for LEFs is established, and its funding sources include:  30,000 Yuan/mu by land use unit when land is acquired,  special fund of local government for inadequacies, and  other sources 3) Contribution An LEF having not covered basic endowment insurance will receive a pension of 60% of MLS 1 when attaining 60 years for men or 55 years for women; an LEF who covers basic endowment insurance voluntarily paid 6,400 yuan at a time before 2008, additional 50 yuan/month will be paid.

5.3.2 Restoration Program for LA 5.3.2.1 Summary The main types of resettlement impacts of the Subproject are LA and HD.A total of 328.7 mu of collective land will be acquired for the project, of which 182.55 mu of collective agricultural land and 146.15 mu of collective construction land (including 98.15 mu not included in the original plan). A total of 178 households and 830 people were affected, of which 163 households and 773 persons will be affected by agricultural land. From the perspective of land types, 136.8 mu of cultivated field (41.62%), 45.75 mu of fish pond (13.92%), and 146.15 mu of collective construction land and unused land (including 32.06 mu of housing land) (44.46%). 5 groups are affected more seriously, with land loss rates of 5.52%-28.48%, while the land loss rates of the other 10 groups are below 4%. In addition, household income loss rates are within 0.03%-2.68%. Therefore, the AHs are affected by LA slightly in general. See Table 2-4. According to the survey, almost all APs support the Subproject. All AHs expect cash compensation for LA, and will invest it in commerce, crop cultivation, aquaculture and skills training, because this mode is easy and free. Since the affected villages vary in socioeconomic profile and LA impacts, restoration programs have been developed based on degree of impact, land availability and their expectations. 5.3.2.2 Restoration program for slightly affected groups All the 15 affected groups are affected slightly and will be receive cash compensation. The distribution modes include:

1 662 yuan/person/month in 2019 that will be adjusted with socioeconomic development.

1) Young crops are compensated as per the Notice of the Wuhu Municipal Government on Young Crop Compensation Rates on Collective Land in the Urban Area (WMG [2016] No.59). 2) Land compensation and resettlement subsidies will be paid fully and directly to the AHs without land reallocation, and compensation for young crops and attachments will be paid directly to the AHs. The specific compensation distribution mode will be resolved at a village congress. 5.3.2.3 Restoration program for seriously affected groups None 5.3.2.4 Compensation and resettlement for fishpond contractors Fishponds of 45.75 mu will be occupied for the Subproject which was contracted by village collectives to 15 households. These fishponds are used to raise local fish species, with annual income of 3,000-4,000 yuan/mu. See Table 5-1.

According to the survey, most of fishpond contracts where fishponds are located within the project were expired by end of 2019 and were not renewed due to advanced notification of project construction. Fishmen also can remove facilities that could be reused to other fishponds. The fishpond contracting agreement of the two villages (Louti and Mawei) is mainly a verbal agreement, Jiang Shangwei of Sanyuan Village signed a fishpond contracting agreement. The rent is determined according to the size of the fishpond and renting period. The project is located in the place where it is called watery place. There are other ponds in the villages nearby out of scope of the project. Therefore, the township government and the involved villages has formulated a proper resettlement plan based on the full respect of the individual wishes of the fishpond contractors, and promise that the fish pond contractors can continue to engage in aquaculture and coordinate the assistance of renting fish ponds. After discussion, ponds closer to the village for fishpond contractors will be provided to continue to operate if they want. Therefore, after reasonable compensation, the income from fishing will not be affected.

5.4 Resettlement Program for Rural Residential Houses The Subproject involves the demolition of rural residential houses of 6,666.61 m2, affecting 36 households with 122 persons. The AHs could opt for cash compensation or property swap when the original houses are demolished.

According to the survey, all 36 households affected by house demolition have chosen the method of property swap in terms of consultations when the resettlement DMS was conducted. The demolished houses have such problems as unsound indoor facilities and infrastructure, aged structure, and poor lighting and ventilation. HD for the Subproject will provide an opportunity for the AHs to improve the living environment. The following resettlement program will be implemented: 1) Resettlement modes Demolished residential houses will be subject to cash compensation at replacement cost or property swap. For property swap, resettlement houses will be provided at the standard of 35 m2 per capita. If a household affected by HD has a per capita housing size of less than 35 m2, per capita size will be made up to 35 m2 and the shortfall will be covered by the government. Within 35 m2 per capita, affected household would not pay any fee. Within 35 m2 per capita, affected household would not pay any fee, and additional size no more 10 ㎡ will be purchased at cost price of 1500 Yuan/㎡, but those exceed 45 ㎡ will be purchased at market price of 3,000 Yuan/㎡. After property swap at the specified standard (35 m2 per capita), any excess size will be subject to cash compensation at replacement cost. Resettlement houses will be planned, designed and constructed in a unified manner. The key elements for the site selected for construction of houses are of access to public service facilities such as water, electricity and public transportation, and distance to existing school, distance to downtown of the affected town (Tanggou Town), distance to clinic or hospital, and the willingness of AHs as well. See the below:

The current situation of the resettlement site is shown in Appendix 10. (1) Property rights replacement The demolished residential houses will be compensated in cash at the replacement price1. In accordance with the requirements of new rural construction, the Tanggou Town Government of the High-tech Zone follows the principles of unified planning, unified design, unified resettlement and unified construction. In communities where housing is built in a centralized manner, appropriate subsidies will be given to their public facilities. The resettlement site for the replacement of commercial housing in this subproject is located in the commercial and residential (relocation) plot near Zaoying Village, Tanggou Town, namely the commercial and residential and resettlement plot in Xiwanyuan, Tanggou Town, covering an area of 80 mu, and the land is state-owned. The resettlement house has a total construction area of 110,000 ㎡ and can accommodate about 5,000 people. It is planned to be designed and approved in March 2021, and is expected to be completed construction by the end of 2022, and relevant affected households can move in. After the completion of the project, the government will repurchase the houses and allocate them to all 36 households. It is planned to complete the relocation and resettlement work before June 2023. See Figure 5-1 below for the community plan of the resettlement site and see Figure5-2 for the current status of the resettlement site in Xiwanyuan.

1 See details in Section 4.6.2

Figure 5- 1 Xiwanyuan Resettlement Community Planning Map

Figure 5- 2 Current Status of resettlement sites (December 2020)

Tanggou Town will build the Xiwanyuan Community, which will be the located in west of Heihe Road, south of Weierzhi Road, east of Jingsi Road, and north of Chujiang Avenue. The number of relocated households in the resettlement community will come from 8 households in Mawei Village, 4 households in Zaoying Village, 4 households in Staircase Village, and 20 households in Banqiao Village. The community will start construction in December 2021 and will be completed in December 2022. The resettlement community will contain green space, medical and health infrastructure/facilities. Community infrastructure to be constructed mainly include greening, public chair, public lighting, public fire service equipment, public safety equipment (such as walls, cameras, guardrail and the park gate, etc.), public space and public roads, water supply and drainage facilities (water channel, tube well, pipe valves, storm sewer, etc.).

①Land use information The land to be used by the resettlement site is state-owned which was acquired by the local government in 2010, without any pending land-related issues. The resettlement community is currently dealing with land reserve related procedures, once completed, the property ownership permit for using state-owned land will be issued by local nature resources bureau in accordance with

relevant regulations.

②Selection schemes of resettlement houses and the willingness of resettlement There are two options for resettlement communities: the first is to select a land plot near the affected villages and build a new resettlement community, and the second is to explore a land plot in an existing reserved area1. The resettlement site selected for the subproject is located in Tanggou Town, High-tech Zone Wuhu City, and resettled HHs will have the property ownership certificates after moving in. After comparing the two options, AHs prefer the latter. They are mostly willing to choose the resettlement community located in urban area, for which the main reasons include: (i) the resettlement houses in this area have high market value, (ii) house property certificates will be provided to AHs who can sell out the houses at their will; and (iii) the new resettlement community has been well planned and designed with better public infrastructures and surrounding facilities. ③Community infrastructure and surrounding facilities Public infrastructures to be constructed in the resettlement community mainly include greening, public chair, public lighting, public fire service equipment, public safety equipment (such as walls, cameras, guardrail and the park gate, etc.), public space and public roads, water supply and drainage facilities (water channel, tube well, pipe valves, storm sewer, etc.). The surrounding facilities of the Xiwanyuan resettlement community are good and complete, including water supply, drainage and sewerage, electricity, access to market and public service, etc. Nearby the Zaoying Primary School in Tanggou Town, 1.8 kilometers away, residents of the resettlement site can arrange their children's primary school nearby; Wuhu Boai Hospital is about 1 km away from the resettlement site, which makes the daily life of APs more convenient.

④Floor Types of Resettlement Houses and Construction Schedule The floor types of resettlement houses in the resettlement community mainly include 144 ㎡, 120 ㎡, 100 ㎡, 80 ㎡ and 60 ㎡.The publicity and mobilization photos of relocation and resettlement are shown below. According to the schedule arrangements, construction of the community will begin in December 2021 and completed by the end of 2022.

Figure 5- 5 Information promotion and announcement of resettlement sites ⑤Attitudes of residents around the resettlement area According to on-site interviews and focus group interviews, it is found that the residents around the resettlement site and the residents to be resettled belong to Tanggou Town, and they are both nearby villages. They welcome the resettlement housing construction project and resettlement plan because the construction of the resettlement project can bring opportunities to them, and will increase their job and income opportunities in and around the resettlement site. At the same time, they are all villagers in the vicinity, there is no communication barrier, and they will get along well. There is also no contradiction in adaptation.

5.5 Resettlement Program for Affected Entities The Subproject involves outdoor cement grounds of two enterprises with a total area of 1.91 mu, which will be compensated for according to the Interim Regulations on Compensation and Resettlement for House Acquisition on Collective Land in the Jiangbei Area (WMGO [2016] No.8). See Table 5-2. Table 5-2 Summary of Affected Entities Proprietor Location Area (mu) Wuhu Naiping Apparel Co., Ltd. Zaoying Village, Tanggou Town 1.58 Zaoying Village, Tanggou Town Wuhu Shenglong Property Investment 0.29 (Tongjiang Avenue) Co., Ltd. Zaoying Green Garden 0.3 Total 1.91

5.6 Restoration Program for Infrastructure and Attachments Infrastructure affected during construction will be compensated for by the contractor and restored by proprietors. Restoration measures for demolished facilities must be planned in advance, and suited to local conditions so as to be safe, efficient, timely and accurate, with minimum adverse impact on nearby residents. Affected pipelines will be rebuilt or relocated before demolition in order not to affect the regular life of nearby residents.

5.7 Supporting Measures for Vulnerable Groups In the affected population, 7 households with 12 persons fall into vulnerable groups. During the whole relocation process, the Jiujiang PMO, IA and local government will pay particular attention to their resettlement. According to the public participation and discussions with relevant government departments, the village committee and the representatives of APs, it was found that it can not be implemented to directly set 1% of the resettlement fee as supporting funds for the vulnerable groups since the vulnerable groups affected in the project area have been included in the local low-income households’ program. Integrating the recommendations collected, the certain assistances to improve the production and living conditions of the vulnerable groups are proposed as follows: 1) Vocational training, and employment information and guidance will be granted to laborers in vulnerable households to increase their job opportunities. 2) Unskilled jobs generated at the construction and operation stages of the Subproject will be first made available to laborers in vulnerable households. 3) All affected VGs will have priority in receiving jobs generated by the Subproject and attending agricultural and nonagricultural training. 4) Provision of vehicle assistance to the 2 VGs when they move to the new houses.

5.8 Training for APs Training needs depend on which resettlement mode is chosen. In order to ensure that the APs change the traditional employment concept, build up a proper sense of occupation and master necessary labor skills, the IA will give training to them together with the Jiujiang District Labor and Social Security Bureau. It is learned that most of the affected laborers are willing to attend skills training on farm machinery operation and repair, construction, cooking, trading, greenhouse vegetable cultivation, aquaculture, stockbreeding, etc. Therefore, a special skills training program for LEFs affected by LA for the Subproject has been developed. At the implementation stage, JDG and WMHAB will offer different training courses to the APs based on local industrial and service development, and labor demand. The Jiujiang PMO will assess farmers’ needs for employment skills and offer all training courses for free. Such training will mitigate negative impacts of LA on farmers and enhance their capacity to restore livelihoods. At least two members (one male and one female if possible) of each AH will be trained. The Jiujiang District Labor and Social Security Bureau, and the affected town labor and social security offices will be responsible for the skills training and reemployment of the LEFs, develop a training program and set up training courses scientifically. Training will be subject to semiannual reporting, and the training program will be adjusted timely based on employment needs. All APs may attend such training for free. A training program for the APs has been prepared. See Tables 5-3 and 5-4. The training program will be disclosed in the affected villages.

5.9 Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests At the RP and URP preparation stage, local women took an active part in the DMS, and were consulted about ideas on income restoration programs. Women support the Subproject, and think the Subproject will improve the urban environment, avoid water pollution, and protect people’s health, promote the city’s long-term economic and social development. Through the Subproject, women will receive jobs, and training on crop cultivation, stockbreeding, industrial skills, catering, etc. Unskilled jobs generated by the Subproject at the construction and operation stages will be first made available to women. In addition, women will receive equal pay for equal work like men do. However, employment of child labor is prohibited. Priority will be given to female labor in terms of skills training so as to ensure that their economic status and income. 150 person-times of APs will be trained, in which not less than 80 person-times (50%) should be offered to female labor. Women have received resettlement information and participated (and will continue to participate) in public consultation. A special FGD for women was held to introduce resettlement policies and improve their awareness.

7 Public Participation and Grievance Redress 7.1 Public Participation Great importance was paid to public participation and consultation at the preparation and implementation stages in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the APs, reduce grievances and disputes, and realize the resettlement objectives properly. 7.1.1 Preparation Stage Since May 2018, WMHAB, JDHDC, the Tanggou Town Government, the design agency and the task force have conducted a series of socioeconomic survey and public consultation activities (with 30% of participants being women). At the preparation stage, these agencies conducted extensive consultation on LA and resettlement. See Table 7-1 and Appendix 2. The revised RIB will be re-distributed in January 2021. In March 2020, with the increase of the designed road width, in order to further verify the impact of resettlement, the PMO, Tanggou Town Resettlement Office conducted supplementary survey of resettlement impacts on affected people of Zaoying Village with involvement of village committee cadres. In November 2020, the discussions on resettlement program for AHs by house demolition were held virtually with the PMO, Tanggou Resettlement Office and representatives of affected household. Based on discussions, the relocation schemes of house demolition were confirmed.

7.2 Grievance Redress 7.2.1 Grievance Redress Procedure Since public participation is encouraged during the preparation and implementation of the RP, no substantial dispute will arise. However, unforeseeable circumstances may arise during this process. In order to address issues effectively, and ensure the successful implementation of project construction and LA, a transparent and effective grievance redress mechanism has been established. The basic procedure is as follows: Stage 1: If any right of any AP is infringed on in any aspect of LA and resettlement, he/she may report this to the village committee, which shall record such appeal and solve it together with the village committee or the AP within two weeks. Stage 2: If the appellant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the Jiujiang PMO within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 3: If the appellant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to WMHAB within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 4: If the appellant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may file an appeal to Foreign Investment Office of Anhui Provincial Communications Department （ Anhui Province PMO） within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. The appellant can also appeal to the external M&E agency, who will inform the ADB project management team. If the APs are still dissatisfied with the results and have been harmed by non- compliance, they can file a complaint with the ADB Special Project Facilitator’s Office or the Compliance Review Office in accordance with the ADB Accountability Mechanism. All grievances, oral or written, will be reported to ADB in internal and external resettlement monitoring reports. If AP is still dissatisfied with the grievance redress procedure or disposition, they can also appeal directly to the civil court. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingencies. During the whole construction period of the Subproject, these appeal procedures will remain effective to ensure that the APs can use them to address relevant issues. The above grievance redress mechanism will be communicated to the APs at a meeting or through the RIB, so that the APs know their right of appeal. In addition, the appeal process will be published to the affected population on mass media. 7.2.2 Recording and Feedback of Grievances and Appeals During the implementation of the RP, the resettlement agencies should register and manage appeal and handling information, and submit such information to WMHAB in writing on a monthly basis. WMHAB will inspect the registration of appeal and handling information regularly, and will prepare a registration form for this purpose, the format of which is shown in Table 7-3.

8.3 Disbursement and Management of Resettlement Funds 8.3.1 Management of Resettlement Funds Resettlement funds must be disbursed in strict conformity with the policies and compensation rates specified in this RP. The Jiujiang PMO will report construction progress to WMHAB, review disbursement application forms, and submit them to WMHAB to apply for disbursement. WMHAB will appoint a consulting agency to review the use of resettlement funds regularly. The district finance and audit departments have the power to monitor and audit the use of special funds. The external M&E agency will conduct special follow-up monitoring on the payment of compensation fees to the AHs.

8.3.2 Disbursement of Resettlement Funds All costs related to resettlement will be included in the general budget of the Subproject, and disbursed by WMHAB to the finance department of JDG directly via a special account, then to the town finance office, and then to the affected groups and individuals. LA and HD compensation will be paid before the beginning of LA and HD.

9 Resettlement Implementation Schedule 9.1 Principles for Resettlement Implementation According to the project implementation schedule, the Subproject will be constructed from December 2021 to April 2023. In order that the resettlement schedule is coordinated with the construction schedule, LA and HD will begin in September 2021 and end in January 2022. The basic principles for resettlement implementation are as follows:  LA should be completed at least 3 months prior to the commencement of construction, and the starting time will be determined as necessary.  During resettlement, the APs shall have opportunities to participate in the Subproject. Before the commencement of construction, the range of LA will be disclosed, the RIB distributed and public participation activities conducted properly.  All compensation fees will be paid to the affected proprietors directly and fully within 3 months of approval of the resettlement and compensation program. No organization or individual should use compensation fees on their behalf, nor should compensation fees be discounted for any reason.

10.1.2 Methods For internal monitoring, a normative, smooth top-down resettlement information management system should be established among WMHAB, the IA and resettlement agencies concerned to track and reflect the progress of resettlement, including the progress, quality and funding of resettlement, and collate and analyze such information. The following measures have been taken in the Subproject to implement internal monitoring: 1) Normative statistical reporting system WMHAB and the IA will develop uniform report forms to reflect the progress of disbursement of resettlement funds and LA. Such forms will be submitted monthly.

2) Regular or irregular reporting Information on issues arising from resettlement will be exchanged in various forms between the resettlement agencies and the external M&E agency. 3) Regular meeting

During resettlement implementation, WMHAB will hold resettlement coordination meetings regularly to discuss and handle issues arising from project and resettlement implementation, exchange experience and study solutions. 4) Inspection WMHAB will conduct routine and non-routine inspection on the resettlement work of the IA and the resettlement agencies, handle resettlement issues on site, and verify the progress of resettlement and the implementation of resettlement policies. 5) Exchange of information with the external M&E agency WMHAB and the IA will keep routine contact with the IA and the external M&E agency and take findings and opinions of the external M&E agency as a reference for internal monitoring. 10.1.3 Period and Reporting Internal monitoring is a continuous process, in which comprehensive monitoring activities will be conduct at least semiannually; more frequent monitoring is required at key times. Internal monitoring reports will be submitted by the resettlement agencies to the IA and the Jiujiang PMO. WMHAB will compile relevant data and information and submit an internal monitoring report to ADB semiannually.

10.2 External Monitoring According to ADB’s policy, Anhui Provincial PMO will appoint a qualified agency by May 2021 experienced in ADB-financed projects as the external M&E agency. The external M&E staff should: 1) have participated in similar tasks, have rich experience in socioeconomic survey, and understand ADB’s policy on involuntary resettlement, and the state and local regulations and policies on resettlement; 2) be able to conduct socioeconomic survey independently, have good communication skills, and be tough; and 3) include a certain percentage of females. The external M&E agency will conduct follow-up M&E of resettlement activities periodically, monitor resettlement progress, quality and funding, and give advice. It will also conduct follow-up monitoring of the APs’ production level and living standard and submit M&E reports to WMHAB and ADB. 10.2.1 Scope and Methods 1) Baseline survey The external M&E agency will conduct a baseline survey of the affected villages and village groups affected by LA to obtain baseline data on the monitored APs’ production level and living standard. The production level and living standard survey will be conducted semiannually to track variations. This survey will be conducted using such methods as panel survey (sample size: 20% of the households affected by LA, to be sampled randomly; 50% of the affected entities), random interview and field observation to acquire necessary information. A statistical analysis and an evaluation will be made on this basis. 2) Periodic M&E During the implementation of the RP, the external M&E agency will conduct periodic follow-up resettlement monitoring semiannually of the following activities by means of field observation, panel survey and random interview:  Payment and amount of compensation fees;  Preparation and adequacy of resettlement sites;  House reconstruction;  Relocation of the APs;

 Training;  Support for vulnerable groups;  Restoration and rebuilding of infrastructure and special facilities;  Production resettlement and restoration;  Compensation for lost assets;  Compensation for lost working hours;  Transition subsidy;  Timetables of the above activities (applicable at any time);  Resettlement organization;  Use of compensation fees for collective land and income of APs;  Income growth of labor through employment; and  If APs have benefited from the Subproject 3) Public consultation The external M&E agency will attend public consultation meetings held during resettlement implementation to evaluate the effectiveness of public participation. 4) Grievance redress The external M&E agency will visit the affected villages and groups periodically, and inquire the resettlement agencies that accept grievances about how grievances have been handled. It will also meet complainants and propose corrective measures and advice for existing issues so as to make the resettlement process more effective. 10.2.2 Reporting The external M&E agency will prepare external monitoring reports based on observations and survey data in order to: 1) reflect the progress of resettlement and existing issues to ADB and the project owner objectively; and 2) evaluate the socioeconomic benefits of resettlement, and propose constructive opinions and suggestions to improve the resettlement work. A routine monitoring report should at least include the following: 1) subjects of monitoring; 2) progress of resettlement; 3) key monitoring findings; 4) key existing issues; and 5) basic opinions and suggestions. The external M&E agency will submit a monitoring or evaluation report to ADB and WMHAB semiannually. See Table 10-4.

Appendix 7: Gender Analysis Form Part A—Gender analysis of rural women in the project area 1. Legal rights of According to laws of the PRC, women have equal legal rights with men, though some women women are not fully aware of this. 2. Social status of Women of the project area have relatively good social status. All key matters of a family are women determined by the couple through discussion. Men are the backbone of families, and attend the important meetings of the village. However, women can influence men when they make decisions at meetings. 3. Title to land and Women have the same title as men. Like other parts of China, in the project area, when a properties daughter is married, her land will remain in her mother’s family and she can only share the land owned by her husband’s family since the household contract responsibility system was put into practice in 1982. However, if a second round of land contracting has been carried out at the affected village (around 1999), this situation has been corrected. If land acquisition, house demolition or resettlement is involved, women will have equal rights to compensation. 4. Right to collective Women have equal rights. properties 5. Living and gender There is no restriction on gender role. However, women do housework and appropriate farm role work mainly in Chinese rural areas, while men mostly do farm work or work outside. Generally, the working hours of women are 1.2 times those of men. In addition, many young women also work outside. 6. Contribution to Women’s income is from farming and household sideline operations mainly, accounting for household income about 39% of household income.

7. Family status Women have an equal voice in decision-making; when men are away for work, women make decisions themselves in many aspects. 8. Educational level Boys and girls enjoy equal opportunities in receiving education, and as long as children study hard, their parents would do their best to support their school education. 9. Health Women’s health condition is quite good and there is no significant difference in nutrition level compared to men; however, medical expenses are rising and have become a significant burden for some households, and women may suffer more. 10. Village and Women are represented in all village committees. In addition, women have a good informal government network in the village and the village group. Women may participate in the election of the agencies village committee, and have the right to elect and be elected; local governments attach great importance to women’s development, especially in poverty reduction. Overall evaluation Women enjoy a good status in the project area, and there is no restriction on gender role; and key risks though women seldom participate in the decision-making of public affairs of the village collective, they can express their views in many ways (e.g., through male members of their families). B—Gender analysis of women during resettlement Gender issue Concern/risk Impact of the Subproject Mitigation measures 1.
