INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Background Since the reform and opening up, China's economic rapid development increased the degree of development and utilization of water resources, however, water environment protection and repair work is relatively slow, the water environmental issues have become increasingly prominent. Data indicate that agricultural non-point source pollution is the major pollution sources of water environment in China. Guangdong Province is a major economic and agricultural province, but in recent years, with the increase in population and the rapid development of the rural economy, agricultural nonpoint source pollution situation became very grim. It is not only a serious threat to the ecological environment security, which restricts the efficiency of agriculture, but also a threat to human health. After calculation, the province's agricultural COD contributes for 40% of the province's total pollutant emissions, ammonia emissions account for 42% of the province's total emissions. Agricultural nonpoint source pollution has been directly restricting the sustainable social and economic development of Guangdong. Therefore, agricultural nonpoint source pollution control has great significance in both promoting the agricultural structure adjustment of Guangdong and improving production conditions as well as the agricultural ecological environment in rural areas. This project is China's first World Bank loan project in agricultural nonpoint source pollution control. Its goal is to systematically reduce the extent of non-point source pollution of water and soil through comprehensive prevention and control means and to promote the establishment of agricultural nonpoint pollution control system through capacity-building, knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation. Ultimately, Guangdong residents can enjoy economic, social and ecological benefits from agricultural non-point source pollution control, thus the overall well-being is enhanced. There are four sub-projects in this World Bank Project of Guangdong agricultural non-point pollution control: (1) environmental-friendly farming; (2) livestock waste management; (3) monitoring and evaluation, capacity building and knowledge management; (4) project management. The first sub-project includes the following three projects: reduced fertilizer and pollution control project, pesticide reduction project and conservation tillage project. The project implementation period is five years, from January 2014 to December 2018. The project was initiated in 2014 with 6 counties for piloting, including Huicheng, Huiyang, Boluo of Huizhou City, Taishan, Kaiping, Enping of Jiangmen City. In the second half of 2016, 9 piloting counties were added into the first phase, including Haifeng, Lufeng of Shanwei City, Xingning, Jiaoling of Meizhou City, Longchuan of Heyuan City, Yangshan of Qingyuan City, Deqing of Zhaoqing City, huangzhou, Gaozhou of Maoming City. Since 2017, 13 piloting counties will be added into the second phase, including Wuhua, Pingyuan, Dapu, Meixian of Meizhou
