This is an updated version of the resettlement plan originally posted in September 2016 available on https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-document/190683/48055- 002-rp-01.pdf. URP of Jiangxi Xinyu Kongmu River Watershed Flood Control and Environmental Improvement Project Note on Resettlement Plan Update The preliminary design of Package FCLW-CW-01, FCLW-CW-05, WW-CW-02 was finalized in July 2020. From August to December 2020, the Xinyu PMO organized the resettlement division of the XURCIG, the affected town (township) governments and the affected village committees conducted detailed measurement survey (DMS), socio-economic survey and public consultation in project impact areas, with assistance of resettlement specialists. This updated RP, covering the Package FCLW-CW-01, FCLW-CW-05 and WW-CW- 02, is prepared on basis of preliminary design and DMS. This URP should be reviewed and implemented together with the original RP approved by ADB in September 2016, which can be found at: https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project- document/190683/48055-002-rp-01.pdf. Relevant sections in the agreed 2016 RP without any changes or updates will not be repeated in this Updated RP. Livelihood restoration programs, resettlement funds management and monitoring and reporting requirements, etc., are similar as these in the agreed 2016 RP. The URPs for the remaining packages in the Project will be submitted to ADB for review and clearance in succession, when preliminary design and DMS data are available later on. The contents of the resettlement plan update include: 1) a note on the URP; 2) updated resettlement impacts; 3) updated affected population; 4) latest socioeconomic profile of project area and affected people; 5) updated resettlement policy framework; 6) updated compensation rates of land acquisition and house demolition; 7) updated implementation schedule and budget. See details in the table below. One point worth emphasizing is that land and house compensation standards updated in 2020 are much higher than the original RP and will be applied in the three packages (see details in subsection 4.3).
