1. Introduction

1.1 Brief Introduction of the Project

Asia Development Bank (ADB) financed Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration Project II aims to attain socially inclusive and economically balanced growth by integrating urban and rural development in Chongqing. Given its imbalanced urban and rural growth which resulted in socioeconomic development gaps, the project will selectively enhance development potentials of small and medium sized cities and villages through: (i) Economically and environmentally sustainable water sector reform; (ii) Urban flood risk management for various river sizes; and (iii) Improving local road connections between poverty stricken remote areas and their nearest urban centers. The Project includes seven physical components and one consulting service: (i) Chengkou urban-rural road network improvement; (ii) Shizhu urban-rural road network improvement; (iii) Fuling urban-rural road network improvement; (iv) Wanzhou Yangliu water supply plant; (v) Youyang Longtan River flood management (Youyang County has withdrawn from the subproject list and is no longer financed by ADB); (vi) Wulong Wujiang River flood management; (vii) Rongchang Rongfeng River flood management; (viii) Consulting service subproject.

1.2 General Resettlement Action Plan

All of the 6 components of Chongqing urban-rural infrastructure construction project prepared Resettlement Plans (RPs). The resettlement plans are prepared based on detailed measurement survey of the project impact and fully asking for villagers’ opinions in accordance with the requirements of the ADB and the related domestic policies. The resettlement plans summarized relevant policy frameworks and puts forward effective measures to alleviate the negative effects caused by the project, through a series of public participation in activities and full consultation. All policies proposals and compensation measures in the RPs are committed to achieve “to make sure those who have lost their land or property inevitably in the developmental plan obtain the same or better livelihood and living standard in state of “no project”. The staff from the External Monitoring Agency carried out site investigation of the ADB projects located in various districts and counties in December 2018 and at the beginning of January 2019, and interviewed affected people and conducted household survey. In addition, they met with leaders of the land acquisition offices and

various communities. The Resettlement External Monitoring Team (EMT) mainly has six staff, namely, Wang Hong, Song Nan, Hu Yushu, Zhou Xinzhu,Xian Jihong, Tang Huayuan. Annex 1 shows the details of the visits made by the external monitoring people.

1.3 Overall Implementation Progress

By the end of Dec 2018, C01, C02 of Wanzhou have been completed, C04 has basically completed, and equipment debugging is underway; C01, C02 and C03 of Rongchang have been completed, the completion percentage of C04 is 85%; After the medium-term adjustment, the new subproject C07 in Rongchang started on 28 Nov 2018, is currently doing construction site clearance. As Rongchang has new subprojects, the total contract amount has increased to 935.8114million. Because the engineering variations and new prices have not been approved by ADB, the construction of Wulong and Fuling subprojects almost are in suspension in the second half of 2018. The progress of Chengkou goes relatively fast, and the tunnel was been broken through on December 19, 2018. The Shizhu C02 progressed rapidly, the bridge upper structure has been completed in Dec 2018, and the progress of C01 is slower due to variations and material cost increasing. The total completion percentage of the ADB project is around 81.22%. The project implementation progress for each component is summarized in Table 1- 2 below.

2. Status of Compensation

Land acquisition and house demolition in Rongchang, Wulong, Wanzhou and Shizhu have basically been completed, and compensation payments have basically been made; So this report focuses on the outstanding land compensations and house demolition compensation in Chengkou and Fuling. Resettlement subsidy for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural residents in Rongchang has been fully completed. The name list of transferring into Non-agricultural residents in Wulong subproject had been made with 162 APs. Resettlement subsidies have been distributed to the APs fully completed in Aug 2018. In Shizhu County, the non-agricultural name list has been confirmed. Huangshui Town involves 88 people. The APs who have reached the age (female: 55, male: 60) have started to receive the insurance monthly. But the resettlement subsidies have not been distributed. It is expected that APs will receive the resettlement subsidies in the first half of 2019; Only one AP is transferred into non-agricultural resident in Yuchi Town. As the AP has reached the age of receiving insurance, he has received the pension every month; resettlement subsidies in Yuelai Town have been basically completed, only a few migrant workers has not received due to outside working. In Chengkou, the first 2 demolishment households (Tang Hongyou and Liu Yiguo) have received the house demolition compensation. The demolishment of another 6 houses newly added because of the landslide have been completed as well. 88.7% of household land compensation has been paid, 11.3% is remained due to land border dispute and some villagers working outside. For the land compensation in Chengkou, It is planned to be completed by the end of first half of 2019. 75 graves have been relocated with the compensation of RMB 9500/ per grave. The land acquisition, house demolition and compensation for Contract A in Fuling have been completed; The land acquisition and enterprise relocation of contract B in Fuling is still under the progress. Damu town had paid the land compensation to VC in December 2017(about RMB 840,000). The land compensation in Yingxin Village had been distributed to the APs at the end of March 2018. The land compensation in Tujing village will be paid to the APs in the first half of 2019. In Jiaoshi town, it is estimated that the land compensation will be completed in the first half of 2019. As IA is trying to change the type of the ADB road to rural roads, now they are awaiting for the final approval of the Fuling Land Bureau. The IA planned compensation standard is consistent with the URP, and EMT will continue to pay attention to the changes in Fuling. The relocation of Fuling enterprises has not yet begun, and the Fuling government is still negotiating with the manufacturers.

2.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

2.2.1 Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts

1Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts

In URP, the Fuling subproject need to acquire 427.94 mu land, and in last monitoring, it has actually acquired a total of 417.05 mu permanent land, in which the permanently-acquired collective land for Section A totals 77.94 mu, and the permanently-acquired rural collective land for Section B totals 339.11mu (collective land 277.67 mu and state-owned land 61.44 mu). Due to the landslide near No. 5 bridge, line change of the No. 3 bridge, adjustment of K7 ending point, the newly added permanent land of the contract B in the first half of 2018 is 64.18mu (collective land 59.55 mu and state-owned land 4.63 mu), which has been finally confirmed by Fuling PIU. There is no new land acquisitioned in the second half of 2018. The newly added APs have not signed the agreements with the LA office, and will be paid according to the document 2008 (138) and 2013 (95) by monetary compensation (the same as that in URP). It is not clear when the compensation will be paid to the individual APs. The IA of Fuling Juandong-Damu Road is searching for changing the road mode to “rural road mode”, the width of the roadbed has been reduced from 8.5 meters to 8 meters, and waiting for the approval by Fuling Land and Resource Bureau. The land compensation rate as rural road mode will follow the policy of “case by case” by village public consultation. The Fuling IA has provided the villager’s public decision and meeting record to the EMT. It can be concluded that the compensation rate is 15,000 yuan /mu for cultivated land, 4600 yuan/mu for young crops and economic crops. According the survey by the EMT this time, non-agricultural transferring does not been considered in rural road mode, but the Fuling IA will still pay the equal resettlement subsides (RMB35000/person) to the APs who meet the local non-agricultural transferring policy. EMT will continue to track the status of compensation in next report.

(2)Temporary Land Use

According to the last monitoring, due to the requirement for stacking materials and construction access road, about 20mu lands is acquisitioned temporarily, the compensation had been paid by Fuling IA in Aug 2018. The compensation fees are about RMB 200,000. There is no temporary land use during this EM period.

2.2.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Compensation

Land compensation payment of RMB 11,289,100 for Contract A has been made, and RMB 13,069,100 of land compensation payment for Contract B has already been made to the village levels, and has yet to be made to the individual affected person. 1. The IA has paid RMB 840,000 to Damu town Yingxin Village in Dec 2017, VC had distributed to the affected farmers at the end of March 2018. Group 4 only refers the village collective forest land, so the cash compensation was directly paid to the village committee. 2. In Tujing village, according to the latest survey, Tujing Village has not distributed the land compensation to the villagers because some of villagers still have argues on land borders between affected farmers; and some villagers disagree with the proposed land compensation plan (The farmers want to get 70% of the land compensation. But according to the document 2008 (138) and 2013 (95) by monetary compensation, only 20% of compensation should be paid to the villagers.) . The village committee has organized several meetings to deal with the dispute. The meeting MOU is shown below in figure 2.1. EMT will continue to pay attention to the payment of compensation.

Figure 2.1 Villagers meeting record of Tujing Village

Figure 2.2 Villagers meeting site of Tujing Village

3. The land compensation of Jiaoshi Town has not been allocated to VCs yet. The land ownership has not been confirmed, such as which part belongs to the village group, which part belongs to individuals. The compensation is estimated to complete in the first half of 2019. Furthermore, the cash compensation for

confirmed collective forest land has already been paid to VC, and then will be distributed to the villagers upon their discussions in the village representative meetings.

Figure 2.3 Certificate for payment of Fuling land acquisition

There are several design changes in Contract B. Due to design variation processing and the raw material price significant increasing in Fuling Project, the construction progress is going very slowly. The completed payment by the end of Dec 2018 is only RMB 19.0 million (including advance payment), accounting for 23.80% of the total contract value (RMB 79,825,847).

2.2.3 Compensation of LA and HD

The land acquisition, house demolition and compensation for Contract A in Fuling have been completed; The land acquisition and enterprise relocation of contract B is still under processing. In the first half of 2018, at the K6+200, there is one house (80 square meters) out of red line but very close the construction site. Construction caused one house being unsafe and inconvenient. The affected householder, called Yun Keming, enjoys the five guarantees policy. Actually, the house is empty currently, and the AP is living in his brother’s house. According to the latest survey, for the sake of safety, IA will take some measures to reinforce the slope to keep the house safe and access road in order when the project is approaching completion. EMT will continue to pay attention on this issue.

2.2.4 Enterprises Demolition Impacts

The Fuling District urban-rural road network reconstruction project mainly relates to the relocation of three enterprises. According to the latest monitoring survey, in April 2018, the hydropower department commissioned a third-party agency to evaluate the Xinyu Hydropower Station and the Fuling Shankaimen Hydropower Station. The County Development and Reform Commission and the Traffic Commission commissioned a third-party agency to evaluate Jiayu Mining. It is reported that this assessment is close to the final negotiated price. The specific compensation agreement has not yet been signed. According to the latest survey, the appraisal report was submitted to the Fuling government. By the end of Dec 2018, the Fuling government hasn't given any feedback. EMT will continue to pay attention on the enterprises demolition in next survey Table 2-5Progress of Compensation and Relocation of Three Enterprises in Fuling

There are originally two affected households to be demolished. However, in this report period, newly added six houses need to be relocated. One house was damaged by blasting operation of Section A and needs to be relocated, and five houses need to be relocated due to landslide caused by excavation near tunnel entrance in Section B. At present, a total of 8 households need to be relocated. Tang Hongyou house and Liu Yiguo house have been demolished and house compensation have been made to them. EMT will continuously track the progress of relocation else. According to the external monitoring of this period: Tang Hongyou: Tang signed the house demolition compensation agreement with LA office, and the house demolishment compensation has been paid. The homestead has been well-planned near the old house. The new house has been built at the end of June 2018. Tang family expected to move into the new house in

July 2018. Tang’s house compensation is based on a comprehensive price of 1,100 yuan/m2 according to document (2012 ) No. 88, which is higher than the ratio in URP. Liu Yiguo: Liu family has received the cash compensation of old house and now live in a simple shed near his old house. Liu plans to build his new house when the road subgrade has been built to facilitate transportation of building materials for new house building. By the end of Dec 2018, his new house is under building. There is one grave which needs to be relocated originally, but now it does not need to relocate due to rerouting.

2.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

2.6.1 Project Impacts

(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impact In URP, Shizhu subproject requires 642.9 mu rural collective land permanently, including 182.3 mu cultivated land and 460.6 mu forest land. According to latest monitoring, as of December 2018, the permanent land acquired is up to 666.41mu, including the last period of permanent land 631.41 mu, of which 623.62 mu of collective land, 7.79 mu of state- owned land, and 35mu of newly added land due to landslides. 1043 persons in 299 households distributed in 13 groups of 5 villages of 3 towns in Shizhu County have been affected in total. No update in this monitoring period. Since part of the road subgrade is located in unstable geological area, landslide occurred after excavation, so the road alignment needs to be relocated and additional land needs to be acquired. About 2km landslide in Contract B and 1km in Contract A, total 35 mu (10mu in Contract A, 25mu in contract B) additional forest land is acquired permanently. According to latest survey, the newly added forest land does not involve no-agriculture resettlement compensation. APs have not signed land compensation agreements with government. Land compensation rooster and agreements will be provided in the next EMR. EMT will continue to follow up it.

(2)Temporary Land Use According to URP, 390.75 mu land will be temporarily used, affecting 129 HHs and 510 APs. In the last EMR, the temporary land for the Shizhu subproject is about 30 mu. The work of compensation has not been carried out because the IA wants to compensate the APs after completion of the project. No update in this EM period.

2.6.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund

The land compensation in Huangshui Town has been paid to the APs with RMB 260,0800, and the land compensation out of red line has not yet been paid (about RMB 45,0000yuan). It is expected to be fully distributed to APs by the end of June of 2019. There are 88 persons transferring into non-agricultural in Huangshui Town. The persons who have reached the age have received the pensions monthly (female: 55 year old, male: 60 year old), because Shizhu county has not allocated funds (RMB 3,168,000) to Huangshui town so the resettlement subsidies have not been paid to the APs. It is expected that farmers will receive the resettlement subsidies in the first half of 2019. Only one person becomes non-agricultural resident in Yuchi Town, as the farmer has been over the age of 60 year age, he has started to receive pension every month. In Yuelai town, by the end of Dec. 2018, accumulated amount of land compensation fees is about RMB 4,341,551.83. Resettlement subsidies in Yuelai Town have gradually distributed to APs. By the end of Dec 2018, accumulated paid resettlement fees are about RMB 1,470,676.6. It is expected that the distribution of resettlement compensation will be finished in the first half of 2019.

2.6.3 Implementation Progress of project

1) The contract value of C01 in Shizhu subproject is 47,777,777,000yuan. By the end of Dec 2018, the accumulated completion was RMB 33,079,109.50. At present, the progress of C01 is lagging behind of the schedule

due to blast delay and terrible weather. It is expected to be finished in May 2019.

2) The contract value of C0 2 in Shizhu subproject is 39,107,621.00yuan. By the end of Dec 2018, the accumulated completion is 40.59 million yuan, takes 104%of the original contract value. The C02 is progressing smoothly in general.

2.6.4 Compensation of LA and HD

In the last phase’s monitoring, the housing demolition and compensation work for Shizhu subproject have been completed. There is no update for this phase.

2.7 Evaluation and Conclusion

Generally speaking, the IAs in various districts and counties have paid the compensation for land acquisition quickly, but it will take a relatively long time to distribute the cash compensation to individual households due to the following main causes: (1) Farmers have dispute to the area of the land requisitioned. The farmers believe that the land measured should be more, so DMS has been conducted once again; (2) There is argue on clear boundary between farmers; (3) There is a difference between the land area recorded in the land certificate and actual land area because the contracted land has changed several times; (4) Some affected farmers can’t come back home in time to process compensation program; (5) Some farmer families have an internal dispute. Since the distribution scheme of the compensation of village reserved land needs to decide by the village public meeting, it will take a relatively long time to remit the 20% cash compensation to farmers. The compensation for housing demolition has been basically paid in time. The relocation of enterprises in Fuling has seriously lagged behind due to difficulty in reaching an agreement in the valuation of enterprise property. It needs to be coordinated by the government authorities in case.

In addition, the compensation distribution of each district or county was done in different ways. For example: the cash compensation for in Shizhu was paid directly by Shizhu town’s land acquisition and house demolition office to the farmers’ individual accounts while the cash compensation in Fuling was paid by Fuling’s land acquisition and house demolition office to the village committees and then paid to the farmers. Since only the rural elders and women are living in villages in most of rural regions, they cultivate grains and vegetables for their own food sake, and their family incomes mainly come from the outside work of young villagers, thus the land acquisition will not affect their life/income basically. On the contrary, the cash compensation could improve their living standards. For the progress from agricultural to Non-agricultural residents, Rongchang has completed in 2017. Shizhu has confirmed the non-agricultural numbers. Because Shizhu PIU has not paid the resettlement subsidies to Huangshui town LA office, Huangshui town has not paid resettlement subsidies to APs. Yuelai town has paid resettlement subsidies to most of APs. Wulong has distributed resettlement subsidies to Aps in Aug. 2018. Due to the change in the nature of the land, even Fuling will not carry out no-agricultural policy, but the IA will still pay the corresponding resettlement subsidies to APs, and EMT will pay closely attention on it.

2.8 Recommendations

1) Compared with the last report, there is no significant progress achieved in the relocation of 3 enterprises in Fuling. It is recommended that Fuling’s State Development and Reform Commission and other related governmental authorities coordinate and discuss with Shankaimen and Xinmiao Companies to speed up the relocation work ASAP. 2) Since it will be changed to rural road, then land occupation will be conducted. So people cannot be transferred to urban residents., that may cause a dispute, especially for the APs who are approaching 60 years old or 55 years old. Fuling IA should pay more effort to convince the affected villagers. 3) Chengkou has finished most of distribution of individual land compensation, urge the LA office of Chengkou to speed up the area identification of individual affected household so that the rest of affected AHs (about 11.3%)could get compensation soon. 4) Urge the IA of Shizhu to speed up the allocation of resettlement subsidies of Huangshui town and the compensation payment of newly added land.

3. Urbanization of APs

Since projects are located in various regions, the amount of per-capita cultivated land in those regions varies greatly. For example, the per-capita cultivated land of Qinglong group of Xincheng village of Shizhu Yuelai Town is 2.4mu, and the per-capita cultivated land of Gucheng group of the said village is 1.68mu while it is only 0.5 mu for Rongchang’s Changzhou Sub-district. Thus, the standards for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural vary greatly. Furthermore, the attitudes of APs towards transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural also vary. Since the project area in Rongchang and Wulong have been overall urbanized, and the land of APs adjacent to

commercial area are becoming more and more expensive, those APs are not active in transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. On the contrary, since Shizhu and Fuling projects are located at remote mountain regions, the APs have less income from land cultivation. They are keen to get better living guarantee through transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. The municipal policy for transferring from agricultural residence to non-agricultural residence is the same, namely, a person can get a quota for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural if its land acquisitioned is no less than the per-capita cultivated land. The mode of determining those persons to be urbanized is also basically the same, namely, for other APs whose acquisitioned land is less than per-capita cultivated area shall be determined by the villager meeting through discussions. And this is the common solution for the project construction in Chongqing. There are the four basic rules for determining the transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural by village meeting:

(1) Direct transferring: a quota for transferring will be offered to an AP if its land acquisitioned is no less than the per-capita cultivated land; The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition. But the village meeting often uses this simple standard to determine who can get the quota of the non-agricultural. (2) Negotiation and adjustment between APs: in case an AP’s land acquisitioned is insufficient and less than the per-capita cultivated land standard, he has to obtain other AP’s land quota through negotiation with the AP to make up the shortfall in order to get an urbanization quota via buying land in cash or replacing land (seldom used); (3) The elders and children less than 16 years old shall have the priority to be transferred; (4) Flexible transferring, namely, an AP can be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural if his remaining land after land acquisition is less than a specified lowest number of mu (for example less than 0.5 mu in Chongqing) and upon approval.

In the No.6 EMR, the characteristics of non-agricultural transferring for Rongchang, Wulong and Shizhu have been analyzed in detail.

3.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation

The transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural in Rongchang had already been completed; specific details can be seen in EMR No. 6.

3.1.1 Rongchang Vulnerable Groups Case

(1)Affected person Ao Zhiyou in Rongchang Rongfeng flood prevention and bank protection project

This affected person, 52 years old, in Fenggao Village of Rongchang County, is a villager in the second community of Donghu. The reason to survey this villager is that there are two people in the family including his son of 13 years old and himself. Ao originally owned 4 mu of dry land and 0.1 mu of dry land was acquired. Before land acquisition, his annual income was 8,000yuan, among which 4,000yuan was agricultural incomes and 4,000yuan was from other short-term jobs. In the fifth survey in June 2018, he was working as a security guard man and has a steady monthly income. The annual income is about RMB 25,000. The major expenditures are for daily life and his son`s education. In the latest survey, there is no significant changing on his income sources and living situation.

(2) Affected household Shi Xianyu: Shi Xianyu from Group 9 of Hailuo Village lives a hard life and needs major support. Shi Xianyu of 85 years old, suffering from glaucoma, has transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural when highway was built. She has an only Child Yang Xiujun of 41 years old. Yang Xiujun is an ex- soldier who is unable to do heavy work due to his serious illness on the waist. He works at part-time at Rongchang for now. Shi Xianyu’s daughter-in-law is 30 years old with worse vision and she basically has no work ability. Besides, Shi Xianyu has a granddaughter of 5 years old. All incomes of the family rely on Yang Xiujun’s part-time work and Shi Xianyu’s pension from agricultural to non-agricultural. According to the previously survey, the family’s annual income is 30,000yuan but with large living expenses. Shi Xianyu needs to take medicine, not to mention her son and daughter-in-law. Besides, her granddaughter is in kindergarten. Therefore, it’s suggested to list Shi Xianyu as the major support person and apply for poverty subsidy for her. In fifth survey, the main source of income is from her son’s work and planting crops. The annual income of his family is about 35,000yuan, but they spend a lot, almost no savings. Her family is supportive to the construction of the Rongchang project.

According the latest survey, her family has greatly improved. The main sources of family income are from her son’s work (3000/ per month), her social allowance (RMB 1500/ month) and the minimum living security fees (900/ per month) for her daughter in law. The annual income of family is about RMB 64,800yuan,the family life have got better.

3.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

The urbanization policy in Fuling is basically the same as that in Rongchang. Contract A of Fuling has over 20 mu collective woodland, and per-capita area of cultivated land is different in the affected group. There are two main forms to confirm indexes of people transferred from agricultural to the non- agricultural: 1) there is one quota when land acquisition is larger than per-capita cultivated land. If there is one quota for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural, equivalently, there is one quota for it for 2 mu woodland. 2) Internal coordination of villagers: if per- capita cultivated land in village Group is 0.8 mu and the land acquisitioned of farmer A is 0.6 mu, Farmer A needs to discuss with the other villagers ( for example Farmer B) to purchase

0.2mu land to apply for one non-agricultural quota.. Since resettlement subsidy for per person in Fuling is 35,000yuan, according to the rule, Farmer A needs to pay 7,000yuan to Farmer B for 0.2 mu purchasing. Fuling Juandong-Damu Road will be built as rural road, not refer non-agricultural resettlement indicators, but resettlement subsidies will still be paid in cash to farmers who are eligible for non-agricultural transferring. According to URP, Contract B of Fuling has 107 persons transferring into non-agricultural. At present, the government is accounting for the number of people in each group who have the right to transfer to non-agricultural, and identifying the per-capita cultivated land area of group one by one. As known by the EMT, the numbers of transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence will be decided finally by the villager conference. EMT will report on the implementation progress of specific resettlement compensation in the next report.

3.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subprojects

No non-agricultural people are affected by resettlement.

3.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project

3.4.1 Non-agricultural Progress

No plan for the affected people transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence, this is consistent with the situation described in the URP.

3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

Tang Hongyou The affected person, a villager of the fourth group in Yinghong village of Yanhe townships in Chengkou County, there are four people in Tang’s family. He originally owned 4 mu of dry land, 10 mu of forest land and 4 mu of other land and 1.3 mu of dry land, 1 mu of forest land and 3 mu of other land were requisitioned. Before land acquisition, its annual income was 8,500 yuan, among which were 4,500 yuan of agricultural income and 4,000 yuan of other income. In fifth survey, Tang Hongyou’s new home has been built. The main source of income is from his part time job, his son’s work earnings, and raising poultry. The total annual income is about 58,000yuan, which is higher than that in fourth survey. According to the latest survey, there is no bigger change in Tang Hongyou’s life compared with last EM. And he has received the compensation fees of his house and moved into the new house in July 2018, now the construction of Yanhe-shuanghe road does not affect his life. Zhao Bingkui The affected person, a villager of the sixth group in Yinghong village of Yanhe townships in

Chengkou County, belongs to poor household of the village.

In fifth survey, Zhao’s living standard has been improved a lot. The source of income is raising poultry and his son’s earnings. His breeding skill has been improved because he participated in poultry breeding training. The family annual income is up to about 60,000yuan. According to the latest survey, there is no bigger change in Zhao Bingkui’s life. The source of income is raising poultry and son’s earnings. The annual income has remained unchanged basically.

3.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project

All of the residents will be transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural gradually because of the overall urbanization in the project area. The situations of three agriculture villages involved in land acquisition situations are different: (1)Wachangba village has completed land acquisition and completed arrangements of people transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural before the ADB project starting; (2)Zhangjiaqi village has completed land acquisition before the ADB project starting as well, but, it does not take the mode of “taking social insurance by transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural”. It takes comprehensive cash compensation once for all, which is that the compensation standard is higher than the one set up for “taking social insurance by transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural”; (3)Only Wujiaping land acquisition was conducted after ADB project starting. The name list of transferring into Non-agricultural residents including APs in Wulong subproject had been made with total 162 APs. The resettlement subsidies have been distributed to the APs in Aug 2018.The lists of non-agricultural and compensation rooster are shown in below figure 3.2. The resettlement compensation fees are issued according to the number of households. All of the Wujiaping villagers has been transferred from agricultural to non-agriculture, but at moment, the LA officer can`t identify how many APs belong to the ADB project. (4)According to the latest survey, there are two main forms for determining the number of farmers to be urbanized in Wulong. One is direct turning: if more than 0.6 mu of land is acquisitioned, there will be one non-agricultural quota. Another form is the discussion between farmers: such as A in the group where the average per- capita cultivated land is 0.6 mu, if A is only acquisitioned 0.4 mu of land, A needs to negotiate with B, it is necessary to purchase 0.2 mu of B to meet the lowest requirement for urbanization policy. They do not take the land replacement way because there is less per-capita arable land in project area.

3.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

3.6.1 Non-agricultural Progress

According to the measures made in the resettlement plan, people who loss more lands will accept arrangement of transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence so as to solve some problems of living. In updated RP, Shizhuzi project planned to arrange 341 people for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural; according to the latest monitoring by EMT, Shizhu subproject has arranged 166 people for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. The detailed numbers can be seen in No.6 EMR. The resettlement subsidies of Yuelai town and Yuchi town have been paid to APs, the resettlement subsidies of Huangshui town will be paid to the APs in the first half 2019.

3.6.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies(Tujia minority)

Peng Mingxiang This affected person is from Dachuan group of Huangshui village, Huangshui Town in Shizhu County. In fifth survey, Peng has been an urban resident due to this project. She can receive pension insurance every month. Her husband also has retirement wages. Now, the source of income is mainly from planting commercial crops (chives and berberine) and endowment insurance. The annual income is more than 20,000yuan, and her living standard was greatly improved.

According the latest survey, the source of income is mainly from planting commercial crops (chives and berberine), endowment insurance(700 yuan / each month)and husband's retirement pension(4000yuan /month. The annual income is about 56400yuan, and her living standard has greatly improved.

Wang Zhongying This affected person is from Jintai group of Jinhua village, Huangshui Town in Shizhu County. In fifth survey, Wang has been an urban resident due to this project. She can receive pension insurance every month because she is more than 55 years old. Now, the source of income is from planting berberine and leeks, raising poultry, and family members’ part time working. The annual family income was about 66,400yuan, and the living standard was greatly improved. According to the latest survey, Wang Zhongying’s life has no bigger changing. Ma Peihong: In the fourth survey, Ma Peihong of 47 years old is a villager in Xincheng Village of Yuelai Town in Shizhu. There are five people in Ma’s family. Except for the daughter-in-law, Ma has a son, a daughter and a grandson. Ma’s son married, but devoiced now and works part-time job at the town, not to mention that his daughter is still on high school. Ma Peihong is the only one in the family could apply for transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural. Ma`s arm is injured seriously in a traffic accident and cannot take heavy work. His wife is engaged in farming at home. In this ADB project, 0.8 mu of land has been acquired and 2400yuan land 41

compensation has been received (15000*0.8*0.2=2400). Considering his special case, the government has provided him with 10,000yuan poverty subsidy for each member of this family to build a new house. What’s more, the government provides a small loan to Ma and trains him with breeding pig. He deliveries cargo by driving car to increase income so his family living standard is largely increased. By cultivating agricultural products and working outside, the annual income of Ma Peihong is over 30,000yuan. The main expenses are daily living expenses and traffic expenses. As we knew, his family is very supportive to the ADB project which is really beneficial to the people. In fifth survey, the life standard of Ma Peihong has improved. The source of income is trucking service and his son’s earnings. The family also breeds pigs. The annual income is at least 40,000yuan.

In this survey, the life of the Ma Peihong family has no changing.

3.7 Evaluation and Conclusion

(1) In the second half of 2018, a great progress has been achieved in the work of transferring into non-agricultural. Rongchang has completed the resettlement subsidies, Shizhu has confirmed the name list, and the resettlement compensation work is in progress; list of transferring into non-agricultural in Wulong has been confirmed, and the resettlement land compensation has been paid to the village community, the resettlement subsidies have been issued to APs in Aug 2018. After obtaining the approval as rural road, Contract B in Fuling will not refer to non- agricultural policy, but Fuling IA will still pay the resettlement subsidy in cash to the qualified APs. (2) People transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural are decided on the villager conference. The village conference has right to formulate its own rules, discuss on the conference, let everyone give their opinions and keep this issue fair. Therefore, APs has no disagreement on the compensation policy and ways for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural. (3) Because per-capita cultivated land is different, standards for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural are very different even in different groups of the same village. In some degree, villagers have some disagreements, but they can accept the result when government officers explained the policies to them.

(4) During the monitoring, there is no priority policy targeted at the vulnerable people in every area of the Counties/Districts. The villager conference usually did not give priority to the vulnerable groups, but the government's anti-poverty policy targeted vulnerable groups. (5) In rural areas, APs transferred from agricultural to Non-agricultural could have more benefits, mainly in the following aspects: 1)Non-agricultural households can enjoy the social security such as minimum living allowance, unemployment insurance, medical insurance, old-age insurance and other social benefits shared by urban residents as well as other preferential policies related to urban household registration. Especially, the minimum living allowance and medical insurance of urban residents are higher than rural residents. For example, the minimum living allowance of urban social security is about 500 yuan /month which is higher than that in rural social security of 350yuan/month. 2)Non-agricultural households have priorities on being employed , house purchasing in city and applying for low-rent housing. 3)For children's education, non-agricultural household ownership has more options to better school because the education quality of urban school is generally better than rural school. Non-agricultural children are more likely to enter better schools. 4) Non-agricultural residents can enjoy urban public services and good medical service.

3.8 Recommendations

Major problems: 1. The government take longer time to estimate and approve quota for APs transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural, which delays the time for APs to take social insurance. 2. Many APs are working outside, which makes the village conference can`t be held timely and delays time to submit the name list. 3.Shizhu county has not allocated resettlement funds to Huangshui town, which seriously delay the time of APs receiving the resettlement subsidies. 4. It’s suggested that the government should put a deadline on each time nodes of land acquisition and compensation. For example, the land compensation fees shall be issued within 90 days after land acquisition has been completed; or procedures for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural shall be completed within 100 days after land acquisition has been approved. The village meeting should be held and make decision within 40 days after the government approved the quota of non-agricultural residents, etc.

4. Use of Compensation Payments and Subsidies

Collective lands are acquired in Rongchang, Wulong, Shizhu, Fuling and Chengkou. According to Chongqing policies, 20% of compensation fees for collective land acquisition and 100% of collective young crops will be paid to the village committee. The villager meetings will discuss how to use this compensation or to distribute it to the villagers.

4.1 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

According to the latest monitoring, only Jiaoshi Town refers 20mu collective land acquired. In Damu town, Tujing village refers sporadic land .The affected farmers are still discussing for a satisfactory distribution plan. EMT would follow up the further progress in the next report.

4.2 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

The land acquired in Shizhu does not refer any public land.

4.3 Evaluation and Conclusion

(1)Compensation allocation mode of collective land in Rongchang basically represents the entire allocation modes in Chongqing. Huangjinpo village and Hailuo community at Changzhou Sub-district, as well as Hailuo community at Fenggao Sub-district had held villager representative conferences; and the collective land acquisition compensation allocation schemes were confirmed on the conference. They made their own rules, discussed together, gave personal opinions and kept it fair, etc. Consequently, Rongchang APs did not have disagreement on the compensation policies and mode for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural. (2)Fuling Damu town had completed the land compensation by December 2017(about RMB 840,000). Most of land compensation in Yingxin Village had been distributed to the APs at the end of March 2018. In Jiaoshi town, it is estimated that the land compensation will be completed in the first half of 2019. (3)In Chengkou, the land acquisition is keeping pace with the construction progress. 100% of land compensation will be gradually paid to the affected farmers by town LA office.. As of Dec 2018, 88.7% of the affected farmers' land compensation fees have been paid. (4) No public land is acquisitioned in the Shizhu. 20% of Individual land compensation is paid to the affected farmers by the town government directly.

4.4 Recommendations

In Shizhu, it is a better way that paying to affected farmers directly by the town LA office. It has been proved if the village leader pays more effort on land disputes between farmers will greatly improve the resettlement progress. 44

The EMT is impressive with the works of village leaders in Shizhu. We suggest that the village leaders in Fuling should pay more attention and give guidance to resettlement and land compensation of affected villagers.

5. Skills Training, Job Creation and Other Income Restoration Measures

The possible impacts of the land acquisition on the local population: (1) Permanent land acquisition may result in the reduction of productions goods, which can thus reduce income; (2) Housing demolition can cause many families to lose their residence, but self-building or purchasing new houses may cause a serious burden, resulting in decreased quality of life; (3) Temporary occupation of land causes failure to cultivate crops and thus brings much loss; (4) During the construction, the running vehicles, construction noise and damage to infrastructure, etc. can bother residents' original life

5.1 Participation of the Construction Works

Authorities in counties/districts and management departments have said that in the process of civic construction, almost all non-technical types of work were undertaken by local residents, and the wages were formulated independently by local districts or counties, paid monthly. Due to female physical conditions and their responsibilities of taking care of children and the old, jobs like cleaning, greening and logistics will be mainly provided to women, and there is no gender discrimination with respect to the wages.

According to the Project Agreement approved by ADB, there shall be 1865 job positions provided to the local labors during the project construction (30% are for women). By Dec 2018, the total number of laborers employed in the project was 5877, with local laborers at 4841, which accounted for 82.37% of the total. Female workers are 1432, accounting for 24.37%. Among the launched projects, majority of the non-skilled workers in each county are local residents, the wage is range from 2000 yuan to 5000 yuan/month, which helped to promote the local economic development and employment. Details of local labor force taken in each component can be found in Table 5-1.

The contractors have taken the following measures while employing local residents in the project construction:

(1) Pre-job safety education and simple skill training;

(2) Temporary work agreements were signed with local labor force in accordance with project timeline;

(3) There is no sex discrimination on wage for the same work type;

Generally, local employees may obtain income of 2800 yuan to 5000 yuan per month, paid daily or monthly.

5.2 Job skills training for local laborers

By Dec 2018, there were a total of 7927 people participating in job trainings including fowl breeding, cultivation, mechanic, catering, cleaning, repairing and other technical trainings. Through the site survey, we found that the trainings held by the local governments were open to all the villagers but not specifically targeting to the affected households, so it is difficult to gather attendant numbers of the affected persons. We suggest the county- and town-level training departments to inform the towns and villages in the affected areas to give priority to these affected persons for skills trainings and job opportunities once available.

5.3 Evaluation and Conclusion

Each project area has carried out corresponding measures to meet the poverty alleviation activities according to its own situation and characteristics. The quality of life of the residents has been improved in all aspects. Not just the financial help be provided, some life skills shall be imparted more from the long-term point of view to maintain the long-term life and sustainable development of the residents. In all district s/counties involved in ADB projects, the construction units said that most of unskilled labors during construction are local residents and the wages were set by all districts /counties and settled on a monthly basis. Because women are weak in physical strength and must take care of the old and children, women are provided with the jobs such as cleaning, greening and logistics. Wages will not be different because of gender differences. For the employment of the local labor force in each project, see (Table 5-1). Existing problems: for some training, the villagers want to add practical opportunities to practice. Taking welding as the example, after short-term training, it cannot actually used for work. If some opportunities to work in the factory for 2 months can be introduced, the trainer can be easy to apply for the job after the internship.

5.4 Recommendations

In the future, we can also start from the following aspects to reduce the negative impact: (1)To give villagers more opportunities for sustainable development by combining the national targeted poverty alleviation policies and various policies of rural revitalization, such as fixed purchase, farming with stock, development of special breeding with petty loan.

(2)To hire local affected people as far as possible in late project management and maintenance work to increase their income as much as possible (3)To invite the affected people to participate in skills training held in different districts and counties as much as possible, especially the long-term internship opportunities and provide them with employment opportunities at the same time (4)To reduce the living expenses of local residents by improving infrastructure, including public transport, water safety, electricity, rural e-commerce, communication, medical and health, culture and education to reduce the living cost of the affected people.

6. Public Participation, Complaint Handling

6.1 Public Participation (1) Announcement of Project Related Information

In the second half year of 2018, Chengkou subproject and Shizhu subproject have obviously construction progress. The IA and contractor as well as the villager committee hold a villager assembly to inform the villagers of such issues as land acquisition, construction, traffic safety, environmental protection, local labor employment and contacting person during the construction period and set up corresponding signs and warnings on the construction site.

(2) Field Investigation and Questionnaire Investigation

The EMT has made surveys to the counties and villages in the project area. The survey is mainly concentrated into the affected villager groups and enterprises. The contents of this survey included the situation of the affected villages, the social economic situation of affected group, the real situation of current road, flood prevention and control, the understanding of the project by the affected people, the local road traffic situation, water price and flood situation and the influence of the project to the residents as well as their opinions and recommendations to the project.

(3)Focus Group Discussion The focus group discussion is divided into two parts, the general villager discussion and the women's discussion. As of Dec 2018, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of public participation in project under construction has reached 8687 persons, of who 4065 were females, accounting for 47% of the total participants. The discussion focuses on residents` expectations, needs and suggestion on projects. (4)Stakeholders Meetings

Stakeholder symposium carried out in the project area including direct or indirect project influencers (such as men, women, minority people and poor people), executing agencies, implementing agencies, project offices, poverty alleviation agencies, training institutions. A total of 4 meetings were conducted by the relevant government sectors. as figure 6.1- 6.4, with Secretary Chen of Rongchang Donghu community, Secretary Ma of Xincheng village Yuelai Town, Secretary Wu of Yingxin village Damu Town. At the same time, special attention is paid to the role of women, to the needs of them and their families, so as to give full play to the role of women in the implementation of inhabitant resettlement. The EMT found in the area affected by the project that as most men worked in cities, the heavy burden of agricultural production fell on women. Therefore, in the area affected, women have played a very important role in farming and other non-agricultural production. They not only actively participated in all stages of land acquisition and resettlement, but also played an important role in public consultation, trainings, communication and public activities. 50

6.2 Complaints and Grievances The complaint channels, coordinately solving and arbitration for all subprojects are in the same ways. The general appeal process flowchart is shown below:

stage1If there is any argument on the resettlement plan for land acquisition compensation, the affected person or group will submit a written or oral complaint to the township/town government. As for oral complaint, the government will deal with it and give written record. Whenever possible, the town government will resolve the issue directly with the affected person. The town government will give a clear reply within one week.

Stage 2If not satisfied with solution in stage 1, the affected person or group can lodge a complaint to county land and resources bureau of each component according to relevant laws and regulations in Chongqing, and the Land and Resources Bureau of all counties should make solutions within ten days.

Stage 3If not satisfied with solution in stage 2, the affected person or group can lodge a complaint to district/county PMOs after receiving the decision, the district/county PMOs should make solutions within one week.

Stage 4If still not satisfied with solution in stage 3, as for any problem concerning the resettlement, the affected person or group can lodge a complaint to governmental departments including county legal department, county discipline inspection department and petition department.

Before the ADB project, another local project had acquired the land of the Fengxiangping Resort. At that time, the land acquisition fees had not been cleared. The ADB Yuehuang Road project had acquired 5.706mu lands, affecting 11 households. According to the minutes of the Yuelai Town 39th Meeting, the town government has approved that the land compensation of Fengxiangping will still be paid to the APs by ADB Yuehuang project at the same rate in URP, no matter how much compensation fees have been paid in previous project.

Up to Dec 2017, 10 householders have obtained the land compensation. Only affected farmer Zengxiangmu rejects to get the land compensation fee because he wants to become a non-agricultural resident. Zengxiaohua, Zengxiaohua’s daughter, reported to the petition office on September 18, 2017 that the Yuehuang road project acquired 0.337 mu her land.and she requested the government to solve the endowment insurance of Qin Xuxiang.. 59

Since the per capita arable land area of the Shiping group where Zeng Xiaohua is registered is 1.81 mu, and Zeng's land area acquired is only 0.337 mu, therefore, her family does not meet the non-agricultural requirements. The staff of the Land Acquisition Office has explained the policy to her several times. According to the latest survey, the petition office has officially issued a reply that her complaint is unreasonable. The petition office urges Zeng

Xiangmu to take his land compensation ASAP.

6.4 Evaluation and Conclusion 1) Every district and county will organize some public activities to make the people more aware of the subprojects of the ADB. And according to EMT survey, it is known that the local people generally support the construction of the project and expects the project can be completed soon because the villagers could get significant benefit from the projects. 2) Currently, Shizhu, Chengkou and Fuling have complaints. The complaints in Shizhu, and Fuling have been responded. The complaint of Xu Lianshan from Chengkou needs to be resolved, which is still in the processing.

6.5 Recommendations 1) Compensation for land acquisition and demolition is the most important issue for the affected people. It is also very normal to have different opinions/ disputes in the processing. Public consultation gives everyone an opportunity to express different opinions, which can not only effectively safeguard the interests of the affected people, but also allow them to understand and abide by the state policies. 2) It will have a negative impact on the daily life of the surrounding ordinary people more or less when the contractor is carrying out the construction. In case of work hindrance, it is expected that the contractor should solve

the problem rationally, hold more meeting to inform villagers the situation and negotiate the solution jointly, and avoid conflicts on fundamental interests of local people.

7. Sample HH in Survey

The EMT has conducted sampling survey on affected households of LAR, and the content includes demographics, area of land acquisition, family annual income, annual expenditure, concerns of the APs and so on.

7.1 Scope of the Survey

The current survey covers 421 persons of 108 households from in Rongchng County, Shizhu County, Wulong County, Chengkou County, and Fuling County, including 66 persons of 18 households in Rongchang, 77 persons of 21 households in Shizhu, 63 persons of 17 households in Wulong, 151 persons of 35 households in Chengkou, and 64 persons of 17 households in Fuling. Among them, 78 households were affected by land acquisition and one household was affected by demolition. The number of affected households accounted for 72.22% of the total sample.The interview scope is shown in table 7-1 Table 7-1 Sampling of SAP in Second Phase of 2017

(1)Gender statusIn the surveyed families, there are 212 men, accounting for 50.36%; 209 women, accounting for 49.64%. (2)Aging structurePeople in 0-6 are 25, accounting for 5.94%, 39 in 7-15, accounting for 12.11%, 272in16- 60, accounting for 64.61%, and 73above 60, accounting for 17.34%. (3)There are 312 laborers involved in sample survey (including the laborer who has reached the statutory retirement age and is still engaged in labor), accounting for 70.07% of the total amount.277 laborers are in the local workspace, accounting for 76.95% of the total amount; 68 laborers are migrant workers, accounting for 23.05% of the total amount; 126 people without working ability, including 126 students at school and 31 elderly above 60 years old.

7.3 Annual Household Income

According to the survey of 108 households, the total annual income in 2018 amounted to 4590080 yuan, with 42501 yuan on average and the agricultural earning per household is 4660 yuan, accounting for 10.96% of total annual family income. The average annual non-agricultural income per family is 37841 yuan, accounting for 89.04% of the total amount. The income of migrant workers per capita is 32410 yuan, accounting for 76.26% of the total income. The monitoring group finds that the agricultural income in rural families is mainly achieved by the elderly 62

over 50 years old, while the young adults are mostly on part-time jobs, working in township enterprises nearby or going out to work; thus most of their income doesn’t depend on farmland, and it almost won’t be influenced by the land acquisition involved in this project.7.4 Annual Household Expenditure According to statistics, the per-capita annual expenditure of 108 households surveyed in 2018 is 27241 yuan, of which: food expenditure is 8629 yuan/person, accounting for 31.47% of the per capita annual expenditure; per capita expenditure of utilities and fuel costs is 503 yuan, accounting for 1.83% of per capita annual expenditure; the per capita expenditure of clothes, shoes and hats, cosmetics and shopping and other entertainment consumption is 4851 yuan, accounting for17.69%; traffic expenditure per capita is 507yuan, accounting for 1.82%; communications expenditure per capita is 228 yuan, accounting for 0.83%; education expenditure per capita is 3749 yuan, accounting for 13.67%; medical expenditure is 4572 yuan, accounting for about 16.67%; gifts expenditure is 4382 yuan/person, accounting for about 15.98%.

7.5 Ethnic Distribution

7.6 Education Background

According to the educational condition survey of 421 people in 108 households :20people are preschool children, accounting for 4.75% of the total amount; 20 people are illiterates, accounting for 4.75% of the total amount;153people just have primary school education, accounting for 36.34%; the number of people who have junior middle school education is 145, accounting for 34.44%; the number of people who have high school and technical school educational is 51 , accounting for 12.11%; 7 people have junior college degree, accounting for 1.66%; the number of people with bachelor degree or above is 25, accounting for 5.94%.

Since about 97% of ethnic minority APs are Tujia in the project area, the below description only focuses on Tujia minority. In terms of religious belief, all of 108 households in this survey have no religious belief. In Shizhu County--An ethnic minority area involved in ADB financed Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration II project, the ethnicity had fused into the Han nationality since more than 2000 years ago. In habitat of Tujia minority that has been surveyed, the ethnicity family in the sampling survey did not have obvious ethnic minority characteristics. Part of the ethnicity residents even did not know the reason why they were classified as ethnic minority groups. Even for them it was hard to identify the difference with the Han nationality. They only knew that their household registration was minority. During the conversation, one old Tujia resident said that their Tujia custom remained but not prevailing nowadays.

8. Plans for the Next Monitoring Period

8.1 Changes of Project Scopes and LAR Impacts

Up to the end of Dec 2018, some adjustments have been made on the contents of the project and the scopes of the LAR impacts compared with the original RP. The number of APs in each subproject varies inordinately. A detailed assessment of the overall LAR impacts needs to be monitored continuously because the physical quantity surveys have not been completed so far. 1) Newly added acquired land for Fuling contract B is 64.18mu. The main reasons for the land increasing are: landslide occurred near No. 5 bridge, line change of the No. 3 bridge, ending point adjustment at K7.. 2) Due to subgrade landslide by excavation, about total 35mu permanent lands need to be acquisitioned in Shizhu. According to the latest survey, the land measurement work has been finished completely, the specific compensation work has not been carried out. Details including compensation policy and APs rooster will be provided in next EMR. 3) In Chengkou, the newly added permanent land for placing waste slag is 41.1mu in Contract A in the second half of 2018.

8.2 Progress of Project Resettlement Implementation

1) Both land acquisition and non-agricultural resettlement compensation in Rongchang project have been completed 2) Wulong Subproject has completed the compensation for land acquisition, house demolition, and non-agricultural resettlement works. 3) Chengkou Subproject has completed the land acquisition work of 456.8mu. The specific housing area measurement and compensation work for 6 new houses demolished was completed in March 2018. Because Chengkou road subproject is implemented in terms of rural road standards, the compensation rates have been agreed by village public meetings. The relevant meeting MOU and farmer agreements have been presented in this report. 4) Shizhu Subproject has basically completed the land acquisition and house demolition work. Due to landslides in Contract A and B, more permanent forest land acquisition without house demolishment (about 35mu forest land in total) is needed , verification and compensation work of the land areas will be completed in the first half of 2019. 5) Fuling contract A has completed the demolition of houses and land acquisition work, Contract B does not involve in the demolition of houses, except the new affected land has not been occupied, the other land acquisition work has been basicly completed. The demolition for three companies have not been started, the compensation agreements have not been signed according to latest survey. Because the Fuling road subproject will use rural road mode, non- agricultural transferring policy will not be considered. However, the resettlement subsidies will still be paid in cash to the affected farmers who are eligible for non-agricultural transferring policy. EMT will pay special attention on Fuling compensation progress in next report. 6) Wanzhou IA has solved the relocations of Liu Guangcai house and paid the compesation to the two agricutural enterprises. No further LAR work is remained.

8.3 Recommendations

8.3.1 Urging all IAs, LAR Officer and Village Leaders to Speed up Compensation to Individual AP

Due to dispute on land areas, compensation is delay to pay to individual AP in Fuling. It is suggested that the LAR officers and villager leaders should coordinate with the AP to solve the problem jointly within a specified period. Otherwise, there are more complaints on the efficiency of resettlement and compensation.

8.3.2 More Efforts on the Progress of Transferring from Agriculture and Non-agriculture to Ensure the Interest of APs.

In Shizhu and Wulong, the non-agriculture progress in second half year of 2018 is improved. It is suggested that the officers should manage to shorten the time from publication of the urbanized resident list to obtain urbanized resident social insurance to ensure the interest of the affected people.

8.3.3 Paying More Attention on Vulnerable Groups and Increasing Support for Them

Pay more attention to the concerns of vulnerable groups and poor people. As we know via surveys, there is no any priority on land compensation and resettlement compensation for vulnerable groups. The policy of LAR is full equality for all. However, there are many poverty alleviation policies and measures towards poverty village family, such as medical expense deduction, house repairing subsidy, minimum living subsidy, education allowance, petty loan, order planting, appointed poverty alleviation by enterprise, free training and etc. EMT recommend the IAs and village leader could provide these preferential policies to the affected vulnerable groups, and increase trainings for affected women and vulnerable group, communicate with construction units to employ more affected vulnerable groups in the project area. At the same time, EMT will continue to monitor the living conditions of affected vulnerable people and whether their living standards have been improved.

8.3.4 The IAs of all districts and counties should confirm the data of land acquisition, demolition and compensation timely

At present, the land acquisition and demolition work in some districts and counties are basically completed. It is recommended that the LA offices of all districts and counties should ensure the cumulative statistical of land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies, enterprise relocation fees and other payment data in a period of six months and ensure the consistency before and after data submission.
