General Situations 1. Project’s Implementation Area The Project involves 199 administrative villages of 49 townships of 6 counties of 2 cities (prefectures) in Sichuan Province. The specific implementation areas are shown in Table 1.1-1.

Project Area’s Characteristics 1) In the project area, there are a large number of poor residents with a high poverty incidence. There are absolute poverty and relative poverty, region-specific poverty and poor population, economy-led poverty and knowledge-led poverty, returning to poverty and new poverty at the same time. 2) The rural human capital is uncompetitive. The residents are of poor physical conditions, of less vocational education and training, of low capacity and quality, and of less participation in social activities. 3) The two project counties under Luzhou City are located in the ranges of Daloushan Mountain and Xueshan Mountain at an altitude of about 700m, while the 4 project counties under Liangshan Prefecture are located in Daliangshan Mountain at an altitude of more than 2000m. Therefore, the natural environment is harsh with frequent natural disasters. 4) Since the project villages lack public services, many residents fell into poverty or relapsed into poverty due to illness and schooling and other issues. 5) With poor infrastructure, the project villages are vulnerable to natural disasters. 6) The large scale industrial development is suffocated because the farm produce are within several varieties, with low technology content and extensive management. 7) The narrow-minded farmers lack self-development ability and awareness to make innovation. 8) The income source is not diversified, the market information acquisition is not smooth, the sale channel for agriculture is narrow, and product brands are not well established. 1.1.2 Project Implementation and Administrative Units In accordance with the innovation in administrative requirements and farmer organization in the Project, the project administrative organization is divided into the project leading system, the project implementation system and the technical support system. Sichuan Province sets up a Project Leading Group (whose responsibility could be taken by the Provincial Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development), while the Foreign Capital Project Management Center of the Province is responsible for the organization and implementation of the Project. The cities (prefectures) and counties involved in the Project set up a Leading Group (which could be taken by the Leading Groups of Poverty
