The HIV/AIDS Prevention and Action Program (HAPAP) associated with the Longling- Ruili Expressway was a component of ADB TA6321-REG: HIV Prevention in the Transport Sector in Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi). It followed from a previous component of this TA supporting HIV prevention activities along the Baise- Longlin Expressway in Guangxi and the Wuding-Kunming Expressway in Yunnan, 2008-2011. This in turn drew lessons from TA4142 – Baolong Healthy and Safe Action Project (BHSA) – which supported HIV prevention activities on the Baoshan-Longling Expressway (Western Yunnan Road Project), 2005-2008. 2. The intended impact of this TA component was to contribute to mitigating transmission of HIV and STIs in Yunnan Province. The planned outcome was reduced risks and vulnerabilities of HIV/AIDS/STIs among the construction workers and communities along the Longling-Ruili Expressway corridor. This stems from (i) the requirement to avoid or mitigate adverse social impacts associated with ADB financed projects and (ii) a sector approach to address HIV and STI risks caused by the construction of the highway networks in Yunnan and Guangxi. 3. The program had four “outputs”: (i) Extend existing contractor HIV/AIDS education with value-added activities; (ii) Mobilize communities to reduce threats of HIV/AIDS through people-centered methodologies; (iii) Develop measures to strengthen cross-boundary collaboration on mobility- related HIV/AIDS issues; and (iv) Monitoring and evaluation. 4. The TA commenced in November 2013 and was completed in December 2014. Longrui Expressway Company (LREC) acted as Executing Agency and was responsible for overall facilitation of the TA. As well as implementing its own HIV/AIDS activities, LREC provided strong support to the TA throughout project implementation. The TA was implemented in close collaboration with local government agencies, principally the Dehong Prefecture AIDS Bureau, and the Dehong Prefecture and Ruili City Centers for Disease Control (CDCs). Two TA team members were staff of local NGOs, released for the duration of the TA. This allowed the team to work very closely with the NGOs concerned – AIDS Care China and the Ruili Women and Children’s Development Centre – including in accessing additional expertise for training activities. ii 5. Despite a very tight timeframe and problems with staff recruitment and illness, the TA was able to add considerable value to existing HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives along the Longrui Expressway Project, for both transport companies and communities. For transport companies, the TA team introduced participatory training techniques that can be readily used on construction sites, trained over 60 safety officers and peer educators to use these techniques and sourced and re-produced specially tailored materials and training resources which can continue to be used on this and future expressway construction projects. 6. The team also successfully piloted site-based voluntary HIV testing and counseling, covering all 27 construction sites. The team used a non-obtrusive HIV test and also offered testing for Hepatitis C, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. This added acceptability to the testing and 788 company staff and laborers agreed to take the HIV test, representing 90% of those who received training. Apart from allowing workers to know their status, this process provided rare data on HIV infection rates among transport construction workers. As recognized by the Joint Initiative by Development Agencies for the Infrastructure Sectors to Mitigate the Spread of HIV/AIDS, 1 transport infrastructure projects can increase the risk for HIV/AIDS spread, predominantly through the presence of large numbers of unaccompanied male workers engaging in sex with multiple partners, often through paid sex. Although this behavior is well documented throughout South-East Asia, and despite multiple projects addressing HIV and transport, data on HIV/AIDS rates among mobile transport workers has been extremely limited. 7. This TA demonstrated the feasibility of site-based testing and provides a first step in building the knowledge base in this area in order to ensure appropriate levels of resources are allocated to HIV/AIDS prevention in the future. Notwithstanding concerns about the HIV risks of mobile construction workers, no worker tested positive for HIV, while three tested positive for Hepatitis C. While further testing is needed across different projects, this data, from an area of high HIV prevalence suggests that HIV infection among migrant workers may not be as high as had been feared. As confirmed by the local AIDS Bureau, the testing program filled an important gap in the local HIV response, highlighting that while transport workers remain an important population, the level of risk may be lower than initially thought, and reinforcing the value of incorporating other

    Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China

    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

    Tea as Commodity in Southwest Yunnan Province: Pu’er and the Sipsongpanna in Qing China 著者 Masuda Atsushi journal or Cultural Reproduction on its Interface: From publication title the Perspectives of Text, Diplomacy, Otherness, and Tea in East Asia page range 243-266 year 2010-03-31 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10112/3388 Tea as Commodity in Southwest Yunnan Province: Pu’er and the Sipsongpanna in Qing China MASUDA Atsushi Translated: Jenine Heaton Introduction Yunnan Province is located at the southwest corner of China, adjacent to the northern area of the Indochinese peninsula. The transportation routes here thus connect China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, the land route being the gateway to China and Southeast Asia. According to historical texts written by the Chinese court, these surrounding countries were required to pay tribute to China. Relations between the Chinese court and the tributaries were ruptured once during the Song period (960–1127), while they were put directly under control as terri- tory of the Chinese court on a limited basis only after the Yuan dynasty (1271– 1368). Chinese historical chronicles acknowledge that these were frontier regions with inconvenient access. Yunnan’s unique topography accounts for this phenomenon. Elevation in Yunnan becomes progressively higher as one proceeds northwest. Meili Xueshan has the highest elevation at 6740 meters above sea level, while elevation drops off in the southeast, the lowest point being 76 meters above sea level in Hekou City. Mountains comprise approximately 84 percent of the terrain, and plateaus, about 10 percent. Only about six percent are small basins called bazi, running along the mountain ranges.1) This unique geography necessitates that mountains be crossed in order to transport goods from one plain to another.

The existence of plateau wetlands provide indispensable habitats for Grus Grus nigricollis was unknown until 1876 due to the high nigricollis, an endangered species of crane. However, the altitude and low temperature of its habitat. In the 1980s and destruction and degeneration of plateau wetlands caused by 1990s, surveys of Grus nigricollis mainly focused on the climate change and human disturbance have influenced the birds’ overwintering sites and population counts and included habitats and biological behaviors of Grus nigricollis. Previous preliminary research into the ecology of these overwintering studies have ignored the importance of particular habitats to sites (Wang et al. 1989; Zhang and Luo 1991;LiandMa the continued existence of Grus nigricollis,especiallywith 1992;Yuetal.1993;Chen1994, 1997;Lietal.1997).
