1.1.3 Resettlement Plan

Only Output 2 , which is the improved water supply infrastructure, involves land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) impacts, therefore, the PMO prepared a resettlement plan (RP) for the LAR during the project preparation. By far, the permanent land acquisition status of the three involved water plants is consistent with the effected scope in the original Resettlement Plan, all the relevant permanent land acquisition will be strictly conducted within the prescribed scope of Resettlement Plan. Therefore, there is no need to update the part of permanent land acquisition in Resettlement Plan. Chaonan PMO has effected the payments to the affected three villages in a total amount of RMB 6.0614 million CNY for acquiring a total of 79.33mu land. In the original Resettlement Plan, the second subproject still involves temporary occupation of 2271.16 mu of land for the purpose of laying pipelines, stacking building materials, temporarily stacking waste residue and building temporary access roads for civil works, specifically including: (i) 802.83 mu of temporarily occupied state-owned land (i.e., 112932 meters of the green belts of road), which is used as the work yard of installing all the water supply pipelines or as the storage yard for construction waste disposal. (ii) 1468.33 mu temporarily occupied collective land, which is used for other construction works disposal. According to the FSR, the construction waste residue area occupies an total land area of 1400 m2. It is located inside an industrial park of textile industry’s circular economy (the open lowland between Jingtian Road and Shenshan Road), construction waste residue. All land acquisition related resettlement has been finished in the economy industrial park’s project and there is no more charges required. The construction of the pipeline will be carried out section by section, and the timescale of occupation for each construction section will be reduced to approximately 1.25 years from the previous 5.15 years in the Resettlement Plan, and shall not exceed 1.5 years at most. The compensation standard for temporary occupation of collective land is: Average Annual Output Value* Occupation period+ Compensation for standing crops/trees. Table 1-2 is 5

Resource: Chaonan Water Supply Company and CSADI.

According to the construction design drawing, the project has a total of 4239.76 mu of temporary acquisition land. A total of 1020.25 mu of land has been temporarily acquired for output 2 during this report period. As of this period, the total accumulative amount of temporary land acquisition for the project is added up to 3431.88 mu. So far, the actual temporary land occupation in the construction stage has been carried out according to the construction design drawing . The area of the temporary land acquisition is consistent with the design scopes of the construction drawing. The project has not been completed, thus after the completion of the project, the relevant temporary occupied lands will be further updated when the land acquisition is completed. See Chapter 2.6 for details of temporary land occupation for construction of each subproject.

1.1.4 Feedback to the Previous Monitoring Evaluation:

(1) Continue to implement the positive measures for SDAP and ultimately achieve various indicators of the social development and gender action plan .

In this period of the project implementation, due to the COVID-19, there are fewer female employees, local and low-income people, which fails to reach the target value in the social and gender action plan. In particular, the proportion of female employees of Guangzhou Erjian and Huizhou Shuidian (contractors) is the lowest at only 2.7%. The overall completion rate is

7

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) still not reaching the targets. At the same time, due to the COVID-19, there was basically no public consultation for decision-making activities in the first half of this period. Consultants suggest that PMO should continue to vigorously promote positive action measures in the implementation of various contracts (especially newly signed contracts) in the future. Especially when the epidemic situation has been alleviated, we should try our best to increase work opportunities for local residents, poor residents and women, especially for women in technical work and management positions, and also continue to improve women's participation in training and public decision-making opportunities.

1.2 External Resettlement Monitoring & Evaluation

The external monitoring & evaluation (M&E) work of the resettlement and implementation of the SAP and the GAP is solely undertaken by an implementing agency known as Beijing Blue Angel (BBA) Environmental Science and Technology Co., Ltd, as engaged by Chaonan Water Supply Company.

1.2.1 Scope of the M&E in this report period

According to the implementation plan of the project, by the first half of 2020, the LAR of the project had been progressing in a fair, open and orderly manner and in line with the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and the requirements of ADB’s "Safeguard Policy Statement" (2009) . Among them, the LAR for construction of three proposed water supply plants has been completed and a total of 79.33 mu of permanent land has been acquisitioned. The scope of this external M&E is based on the monitoring and evaluation of land acquisition and resettlement about this 79.33 mu permanently acquisitioned land and the construction waste residue area,. continuously tracking The resettlement, compensation and economic recovery for two affected HH swill be continuously followed up. At the same time, design institutes have made clear once again during this M&E period that the reconstruction of Longxi WSP, extension of Qiufeng WSP and reconstruction of Jinxi WPS do not involve any temporarily occupied land. The temporary land acquisition in this period has been updated for Liangying town and Xiancheng town pipeline project, Lugang town pipeline project, Chendian town and simapu town pipeline project, Xiaxin Sigao pipeline project and Heyang pipeline project, Xiashan Street pipeline project and Shanhe line and Donglan line pipeline project (basically completed).. According to the project implementation plan, by the first half of 2020, the SDAP and the GAP have also been carried out continuously, and this report also includes monitoring and evaluation on land acquisition and implementation of the social and gender action plan.

1.2.2 Procedure and Methodology of the M&E in this report period

This is the 12th external monitoring and evaluation. Our team has followed up the implementation of the LAR of various subprojects and compared the implementation of social and gender action and resettlement situation after the resettlement has arranged; and the previous findings have been reviewed again; and the newly discovered issues and the corresponding suggestions have also been put forward. The external M&E of the Project have

8

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) been conducted as per the following methods: (i) Follow-up interviews and field surveys. Discussions were held with affected townships/communities, village committees, villagers' representatives/residents' representatives and heads of households to be relocated, to understand the impact of the project, the needs and willingness of the affected HH with different incomes, public participation, compensation for LAR, and economic recovery. (ii) Survey on implementation of the GAP and the SAP. Regarding the projects or subprojects being implemented or the contract packages being executed, comparison and analysis of the workers employed and the gender proportion thereof have been carried out so as to make sure whether the target values in the SAP and the GAP have been reached . (iii) Processing and analysis of the data as collected from all the EAs and related agencies, e.g., the construction companies, the Social Security Bureau, etc. have been carried out. (iv) Report the monitoring and evaluation results. Due to the influence of the COVID-19, in the first half of this period, on-site field interviews were not able to be conducted. Instead, we conducted the online survey on the implementation agencies and contractors.

1.2.3 Scope of this Report

This report is the 12th independent external monitoring and evaluation report on Guangdong Chaonan water resources protection and utilization demonstration project , with the purpose of monitoring and summarizing the current progress on resettlement plan , the SAP and the GAP being implemented as of the first half of 2020; following up the resettlement, compensation and economy recovery of the HHs affected by the permanent land acquisition; monitoring the fulfillment of the target values in the SAP and the GAP, proposing corresponding countermeasures with respect to the existing problems, constructing a system of M&E, including the findings of, the countermeasures and suggestions on the monitoring and evaluation system, etc.

1.2.4 Schedule of the M&E in this report period

2.2 Status of the Two Affected Households

• 2.2.1 Income Restoration Status

According to the RP, this project needs to permanently acquisition a total of 79.33 mu of collective land; By the end of 2014, Guangdong Chaonan Water Resources Development and Protection Demonstration Project conducted land acquisition from three villages, and a total of 79.33 mu collective land has been permanently acquisitioned. The completion rate for permanent land acquisition is 100%. The IA of the project has acquisitioned 44.33 mu of permanent land for the construction of Longxi WSP from Dongbo Village, Shenxi Town. Compensation shall be paid to the two affected HHs as per the land lease agreement as signed between the two HHs and Dongpo Village Committee and the possible impact on the 2 HHs of the official commencement time of Longxi WSP . Currently, the project has started. Two affected HHs had received the land acquisition notification before the construction started, and decided not to rent the land as from 1 January 2015. According to one of the affected household (Zheng Yongxiong’s family), he leased 65 mu of arable land for a short term (including the 22.165 mu land to be acquisitioned, among which there is 19.33mu land to be permanently acquisitioned), which is used to plant orange. Besides, he also leased 7 mu of pond to feed fish. These two tracts of leasehold land bring them in about 120, 000 CNY every year. When the permanent land acquisition started at the beginning of 2015, the household got 20,000 CNY as the direct financial compensation for the permanently acquisitioned land as per the compensation agreement. There are totally 8 people in the family. The couple are in their 50s; their two sons are in their 20’s and both are married; and they also have two grandsons respectively at the age of 6 and 10, among whom, two of the HH take charge of

12

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) the pond’s operation and management. By far, 30,000 CNY has been ploughed into the expanded operations of the pond. And they also renewed the contract with the village committee for an additional 5 years’ contractual operation of the pond. The investment is expected to bring their annual income up 10,000 CNY from the previous period. and even more benefits will be brought about in later period. In addition, while their son and daughter- in-law were growing orange, they can earn an additional daily income of 100 CNY by taking odds jobs in local areas, such as doing temporary farm transport, working as motorcycle-taxi drivers or doing other local part-time jobs, , which can bring them an annual income of about 28,000 CNY. The two daughters-in-law help deal with household chores and take care of the two children. Moreover, Dongbo Village Committee has signed a five-year lease (2013-2018) contract with Zheng’s family regarding a tract of farmland of 58mu to be used for cultivating paddy. The village committee is planning to renew the contract with the household in 2019 and continue to rent the land to the household. This tract of land is suitable to cultivate paddy. An average paddy-planting subsidy of 160 CNY/ mu has been provided for the HH by the government. And all the harvested rice is purchased by the government so the income from planting paddy will be more stable compared with planting orange, which needs to be marketed by themselves and is susceptible to natural disaster and the damage caused by pests. In June 2019 and January 2020, external M&E experts has conducted follow-up monitoring by both site visit and made online interview in Dongbo Village again , and found that the whole year income of Zheng’s family in 2019 has increased by about 10% compared with that before land acquisition. The main increase comes from planting paddy and taking odd jobs. Meanwhile, the income from operating the pond also has increased. All the income increase can make up for the income loss of planting orange as caused by land acquisition. Therefore currently the household’s income has exceeded the income before land acquisition, and the income is coming from more reliable and sustainable sources. The monitoring results in this report period indicate that the income of this household remains stable and unchanged during the monitoring period. The annual income will be followed up again in the next report period. The permanent land acquisition produces no adverse impact on the household, and no complaints have been received as yet. The other affected household (Zheng Shufeng’s family) has totally leased 25 mu of unused arable land to operate and sell building materials (The land is used as the storage yard), which has brought the household an annual income of 300,000 CNY. There are 6 people in this family. The couple of Mr. and Mrs. Zheng are in their 50s (Mrs. Zheng is staying at home due to poor health).The son and the daughter-in-law are migrant workers at other places. They have two granddaughters. One granddaughter is still studying in college; and another adult granddaughter is staying at home to help with the business and household chores. The HH should have to pay for their younger granddaughter’s education in college. At the beginning of 2015 and during the permanent land acquisition, the family got 130,000 CNY as the direct financial compensation as per the compensation agreement. There are 6 people in the family, among whom, two people are responsible for operation and management of the construction material business. After being compensated, the family has signed the a contract with the Dongbo Village Committee for a vacant land of 7-8mu to continue their business of building materials, the cost of the new business premises is about 13

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) 100,000 CNY. With the expansion of their construction material business, the annual income is 50,000 CNY higher than that before land acquisition. Furthermore, in the transitional period of the HH after land acquisition, the balance of compensation is RMB 30,000 yuanCNY, which is enough to maintain the life quality of the HH at normal level. The monitoring and survey results in this report period indicate that Zheng’s family continue operating the transportation business of building materials with their 14 trucks, each with an capacity of 30 cubic meters . The site change has brought some inconvenience to their sand and stone business at the beginning, but with the development of their business, their income has not been affected since most of the materials are sold to the neighborhood people who are going to build houses for themselves. Since the second half of 2016, the affected household began to repair their own vehicles, reducing the cost of vehicle maintenance, and the revenue was in good and stable condition. In June 2019 and January 2020, the external monitoring experts followed up the investigation by visits and telephone interview, and found that the profit margin of the household in 2019 was basically at the same level as that of the same period of last year. Therefore, the monitoring results of this period show that the income of Mr. Zheng Shufeng's family is stable during the monitoring period, and the permanent land acquisition has no negative impact on the family, with no complaints. Due to the influence of COVID-19, field survey was not carried out in this period. Experts will visit Dongbo village for field survey byt the end of 2020.

2.2.2 Resettlement Compensation Status

On 1 December 2014, Dongbo Village Committee, Longtian Town signed the Land Acquisition Resettlement Compensation Agreement with the first affected household Zheng Yongxiong (planting fruit trees). After accounting and discussion, 20,000 CNY was determined to pay for the resettlement compensation, in compensation for the losses in their benefits of planting orange, banana, their family income and other planting benefits; the expenses for land leveling of the new planting site and investment into the planting again, which are all caused by the land acquisition for Longxi Water Plant construction. On 1 December 2014, Dongbo Village Committee, Longtian Township signed the Land Acquisition Resettlement Compensation Agreement with the second affected household Zheng Shufeng (construction material business). After accounting and discussion, 130,000 CNY was determined to pay for the resettlement compensation, in compensation for losses in business and family income, and for costs of handling the remaining materials, demolishing the existing structures, leveling the ground and erecting the buildings on new business premises, , etc., which are all caused by the land acquisition for Longxi Water Plant. The compensation payments respectively to these two families have both taken effect on 4 June 2015.

2.2.3 Resettlement Compensation Evaluation

Taking into full account the actual benefits of the two affected HHs, and the maximum compensation to them, the LAR personnel in Dongbo Village, Longtian Town have been implementing the resettlement compensation and helping the two affected households recover economy in the shortest possible time, and consequently reduced the losses of the two affected households. Land acquisition and relocation have been carried out in a friendly manner, which won the good comments of two affected households and the whole village. According to the previous M&E results, the two households’ living and production conditions have not been changed, and no reduction in the households’ income and no adverse impact on their living standard have been caused by the land acquisition. In the first half of this year, due to the impact of covid-19, field interview and survey for the actual situation of these two households has not been conducted. But the consulting experts will pay the field visit in the second half of the year for follow-up status.

On December 23, 2011 and October 30, 2012, the Financial Bureau of Chaonan district directly appropriated the endowment insurance expenses to the Social Security Bureau of Chaonan District, totaling CNY 693,000, to pay the 15-year endowment insurance for the farmers whose land has been acquisitioned. The payment standard is CNY 50 per month, and CNY 9,000 in total for each person. The endowment insurance payment of the affected villages has been completed, and the affected people have been compensated according to the resettlement plan, as follows: (1) Dongpo Village, Longtian Town: Mr. Zheng, the village head, of Dongbo Village said that the beneficiaries’ name list of 45 villagers are determined by the village committee; and the village committee is planning to put those who are poorest and who need the pension most on the name list. The list has been posted to the public before being submitted to the Social Security Bureau. According to the latest information provided by Chaonan Social Security Bureau, till the end of June 2018, there are 12 (3 females included) of the 45 villagers (22 females included) who has reached the age of 60 and started to get the pension from the account, 5 villagers (2 females included) more than those in the previous M&E report. In their

15

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) pension, 119.74 CNY/month is coming from the endowment insurance of 9000 CNY/person paid due to the land acquisition. Beneficiary’s name list and detailed pension information of Dongbo Village have been shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2: Beneficiary’s Name List and Detailed Pension Information of Dongbo Village

(2) Gucuo Village, Liangying Town : On December 2, 2018, the Gucuo Village Committee once again convened a community resident congress (see Figure 2) to discuss the name list of pension compensation (see Figure 2-3 for details). There are altogether 25 mu land acquisitioned and 23 beneficiaries’ pension insurance available in Gucuo Village. The meeting discussed and decided the 23 beneficiaries on the name list who can receive the pension in compensation. They are all residents of the community who are over 59 years old. In October 2019, the village committee submitted the name list to the Social Security Bureau through the town government, and then the Social Security Bureau paid the corresponding security funds to their respective pension accounts. Therefore, the compensation in Gucuo Village paid by endowment insurance has been completed.

(3) Shenxi village, Xiancheng Town: according to Director Liu of Shenxi village, Xiancheng Town, Shenxi village has a large population and more than 2000 people have already received endowment insurance. The acquired land belongs to collective land and is used by the collective. The project of Jinxi Water Plant has acquisitioned 10 mu land from Shenxi village. According to the original plan of endowment insurance compensation, 9 persons should be selected from the villagers for compensation. The number of persons for compensation is too small but the total number of people in the whole village is too large, so the village committee founds it difficult to 18

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) distribute them fairly. So in 2014, through the approval procedure of the Shenxi village villagers' congress, the endowment insurance which benefits 9 persons in this project , together with the 18 persons who could be provided by the land requisition of other projects in the village, were changed into the endowment insurance evenly shared by all the 2025 elder villagers who are receiving the endowment insurance .In November 2014, the scheme was officially approved by the HumanRresources and Social Security Bureau of Chaonan district (as shown in Figure 2-6). So far, the compensation issuein Shenxi village committee of Xiancheng town has been solved.

2.4 Land Use Plan for the Village Collective Reserved Land

According to the RP, the three affected villages have all marked out a total of 11.66mu reserved land (see the details in Table 2-3) according to the area of acquisitioned land and a particular proportion. Chaonan PMO has completed all the procedures to change the farmland into the homestead, and has paid off all the related taxes and charges. During this period the external monitoring experts did not visit the three villages, but according to the communication results of the two villagesthrough the PMO’s focal staff, the specific situation of each village has not changed compared with that of the previous period, and there is no updated information as yet, specific details are shown as follows: (1) According to Mr. Zheng, Director of Dongpo Village, Dongpo Village is planning to build 7 11-storied apartment buildings on a tract of land with a combined total of 27.34 mu, which includes the 6.65 mu village collective reserved land as obtained from the project, a 17.5 mu existing homestead and a 3.19 mu newly applied plot to be approved of. The project of 7 11- storied buildings will provide apartments for villagers who cannot afford a homestead, and will eventually benefit 400 peasant HHs once completed. Currently, the plan is still under review, and the increased land area has not yet been approved of by the government. (2) According to Mr. Liu, Director of Shenxi Village, their village committee has decided to merge together the 1.5mu reserved land and another tract of land with an area of 3.0mu② into a combined land for developing collective economy. (3) Again according to Mr. Zhong in Gucuo Village, the director of the village committee, due to the land acquisition for this project, they have already been allocated 3.51mu reserved land, plus another 20mu homestead, as allocated due to the land acquisition for a highway construction project and a power reconstruction project, currently they have a total of 23.51mu homestead③, on which apartment buildings are to be used for villagers. Since the existing 23.51 mu homestead has been divided into two tracts of land by the overhead high-voltage wire, and after the overhead high-voltage wire is relocated, the nature of the land below is still agricultural land. Therefore it is necessary to apply to change the nature of the land. In 2018, the village has applied for a new tract of 34.5 mu land (including 6 mu land below the existing overhead high-voltage wire and another tract of 28.5 mu land) so as to form a stretch of homestead with a combined total of 58 mu by joining together the existing 23.51 mu homestead and the newly applied 34.5 mu homestead, which will be used for building the apartment buildings in a unified way, so as to solve the housing problems for all villagers who have not been allocated the homestead. At present, the newly applied 34.5 mu homestead remains to be approved of by the district government. According to Mr Zhong, the land use application in Shantou City is being strictly controlled by the district government, and it still takes a relatively long period of time for the land use application to be approved of. Since the area of the reserved land obtained from the project for the three villages is too small to meet the demand of land planning of the village collective, each village needs to combine their existing reserved land with other reserved land so as to form a combined plot

20

21

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC)

to meet their needs of unified planning. Therefore, a large proportion of the plot, as needed in the land plan being applied for by each village, does not fall within the scope of this project, and need to be applied for and obtained through other projects’ land acquisition. And the monitoring of this project cannot cover the specific schedule of other projects’ land plans. However, procedures of this project for all the 11.66 mu reserved land in the three affected villages have been fully completed, and related taxes of the reserved land (the land nature has been changed from cultivated land to homestead) have all been paid off by Chaonan Water Supply Company as per the requirements in the RP through the Land and Resources Bureau.

2.5 Conclusion of Permanent Land Acquisition and Resettlement

Through interviews and workshops with related agencies during site visits, and literature reviews on the relative documents such as compensation policies and agreements, financial records, social security records, etc., external M&E experts have drawn the conclusion that: by the end of December 2019, the permanent land acquisition and resettlement work in this project have all been completed in compliance with the requirements of the RP; the land compensation is implemented in accordance with the principles and standards in the RP, and the payment procedures is open, transparent, and effective; all compensation payments have been paid to the affected villages and related individuals in full amount and in time. There is no complaint and compensation claim about land acquisition and resettlement; and the progress of land acquisition and resettlement can meet the requirements of the construction. The monitoring results of this period indicate that the list of endowment insurance personnel in Gucuo village has also been submitted to the Social Security Bureau, and then the Social Security Bureau have started to pay for the villagers who meet the insurance claim conditions; all the procedures and payments of endowment insurance as land acquisition compensation in the three affected villages have been completed in accordance with the requirements of the resettlement plan.The transfer application

22

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) procedures and payment of various taxes and fees required for the development and construction of the reserved land have also been handled by the Chaonan project office. However, area of land reserved for the three villages in this project is too small to make any plan, , so the specific completion time for the land’s plan, design or establishment cannot be determined only by the reserved areas from this project by far. 2.6 Temporary Land Occupation According to the preliminary design of the construction drawing, the project is estimated to have a total of 4239.76 mu of temporary land. A total of 1020.25 mu of land has been temporarily acquired in this period. As of this period, the total amount of temporary land acquisition for the project is accumulatively 3431.88 mu. Among all the contract packages under construction, no temporary land occupation is involved in the contract C1 and C8 of the exhibition hall and water plant under construction in this phase, while the pipeline engineering C7, C11, C12, C13, C14 and C15 involve temporary land acquisition. The details of the temporary land acquisition of the project are shown in the table below.

Note：The reasons for the increase of the temporary occupied land area of C12 package are as follows: 1) Pipelines with pipe diameter above DN 25 are only included in the preliminary design stage, so the total length is only 477 km. However, in the detailed construction design stage, pipelines with pipe diameter below DN 25 are also included resulting in the total length of 778

26

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) kilometers, which cause an increase of 301 kilometers, so the temporary occupied land area is increased correspondingly. 2) The ground occpation space width of the pipeline with pipe diameter below DN100 was not well designed in the preliminary design stage as its width was changed from 1.2 meters to 2.0 meters according to the construction requirements during the construction design. And the temporary occupied land area has to be also increased because of this.

III. Social Development and Gender Action Plan Implementation

As of the first half of 2020, with the project proceeding, PMO has gradually initiated Social Development Action Plan (SDAP) and Gender Action Plan (GAP) to ensure social safeguards during project implementation. The subprojects related to land acquisition include: (1) The temporary occupation of 802.83 mu of state-owned land (i.e. 112932m roadside green belt) is used for the installation of all main water transmission and distribution pipelines or waste disposal sites along the existing roads; (2) the temporary occupation of 1468.33 mu of collective land is used for temporary stacking of earthwork and other water distribution pipeline construction projects in three water plants. In addition, 483400 square meters of waste disposal site has been temporarily requisitioned, which is located in the textile industry circular economy industrial park of Longtian town (the open and low-lying land between the mine field highway and the Shenzhen Shantou Expressway)..

Poor Non-poor labor （person） 334 87.43% Local labor （person） 239 62.57% Citizen Non-local labor （person） 143 37.43% In summary, In the first half of 2020, the employment indicators of the project in social and gender action are as follows：

(1) Female employment: a total of 70 female employees were recruited, accounting for 18.32% of the current employment, 8.62% lower if compared with 26.94% of the previous period, and the current period did not reach the target value of 30% in the gender action plan. Among them, the associated contractor of Guangdong Erjian and Huizhou Shuidian have the lowest proportion of female employment in C8 contract package of Jinxi water plant expansion project, which is only 7.8%. The proportion of female employment decreased in this period mainly because of the impact of the COVID-19 in the first half of this year, for which most of the schools in China have not openedl, and then many women who originally worked as migrants had to stay at home to take care of their children. ;

(2) Local employees: there are 239 in total, accounting for 62.57% of the current employment, with 3.09% decrease compared with 65.66% of the previous period, and the overall proportion has reached 65% as the requirements of the SDAP; The main reason for the substandard employment situation in this period is also the outbreak of the COVID-19, and the number of local laborspreferred not to going out as that in previous years.

(3) Employment of low-income families: there are 48 people from low-income families in this period,3accounting for 12.57% of the total employees, a little bit decease compared with the previous period of 13.64%. The main reason for the low completion rate of this indicator in this period is that the employment of low-income workers in Guangdong Erjian and Taitong construction is 0% in this period but other all contractors has reached the requirement of 15% in the SDAP;

3 Because the Chinese government is committed to relieve poverty by 2020, and has taken a series of effective measures and actions, the number of low-income families and poverty-stricken familieshina has decreased dramatically, most of whom are those who have lost their ability to work. In view of this, the project will include labors from families with the lowest 20% income level into the low-income families. 38

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) (4) Monthly average wage of male and female employees: All contractors achieved equal pay for equal work in this period. From the statements provided by the contractor, the average wage of female workers is averagely 500 yuan / month less than that of men, but the average wages of men and women in Gansu Yi'an construction (C1) contract are the same with each other..According to the results of the field survey, women employees are mainly engaged in carpentry, bricklayers, auxiliary workers, medium-level labors, greening, logistics and cleaning, many of which are seasonal temporary jobs, while the front-line jobs are mainly for male. The difference in the nature of work results in different wage levels, but the same type of work achieves equal pay for equal work. This kind of heavy labor position usually pays higher wages, which leads to the gap between the average wage level of men and women in the current period ; Employment in the operation stage: 1) Longxi Water Plant: in the operation stage, 45 direct employment opportunities have been created in Longxi Water Plant, including 16 women (all managerial and skill positions) , accounting for 35% of the employed population. This period meets the target set in the gender action plan 2) Forest maintenance labors for Output 1: There are totally 30 new labors employed for operation stage of forestation, among which 10 are females, but no females for managerial and skill positions. So this has only reached the target of female employment rate (30%), but not reached the target of managerial and skill positions among females (50%).Due to the COVID-19, the employment indicators in the first half of 2020 are not very satisfactory. The proportion of female employees is 8.94% lower than that of last year, the proportion of local employees is 4.43% lower than that of last year, and the proportion of low-income family employees is 1.07% lower than that of last year. These indicators do not meet the requirements of the social and gender action plan. It is expected that in the second half of the year, the overall number of employees and the proportion of women, local employees and poor groups will be increased due to the alleviation of the epidemic situation. The PMO still needs to strengthen the supervision on the situation of the Contractor's employment in the construction stage of the project, especially the employment of women and low-income family workers, so as to expand the employment channels and give priority to the employment of women and workers from low-income families.

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) 3.2 Training

1) Conduct Training for PMO and PIU Since the project management consulting firm (HJI) was mobilized into the construction site in July 2016, the social and gender development specialists have provided trainings on social safeguard, social and gender actions for contractors, IAs and relevant agencies and stakeholders to enhance awareness of social and gender development and concern for vulnerable groups, and better protect the interests of women, local residents and vulnerable groups. As of this period, no training has been conducted due to the COVID-19. 2) Training carried out by the Contractor: In the first half of 2020, contractors conducted 12 on-the-job trainings for the employees of the project under construction, including health and disease prevention and control, labor law, safety, and skills, as follows:

3.3 Public Consultation

In the process of permanent land acquisition, the PMO has actively conducted various kinds of publicity campaigns on various issues concerned with the project. All agencies involved have been making concerted efforts and cooperating with each other in showing concern for all stakeholder groups of the society, especially the vulnerable groups. Assemblies of villagers’ representatives have been convened by the PMO at village committees of affected villages, and various policies relating to permanent land acquisition have been fully explained and publicized. Moreover, more and more females have been prompted and encouraged to participate as per relevant requirements of the ADB. Participating females usually account for averagely about 25%. The project of water supply pipeline network connecting all villages involves the village pipelines, alley-way pipelines and household pipelines and temporary land use in all villages, communities and sub-districts along the pipeline routes. The PMO has not only conducted extensive publicity campaigns as per the corresponding measures and requirements in the RP、SAP and the GAP; but also fully listened to and respected various opinions from all stakeholder groups. Before the finalization of working drawings for each pipeline section and the commencement of construction, public consultation and public option have been conducted for the affected communities, sub-districts, village committees and other relevant agencies in written form, through public notice or informal discussion, consequently being widely understood, supported and advocated by residents and villagers along the pipeline routes. During the reporting period, the construction sections, all along the municipal roads under the jurisdiction of the Highway Bureau, have not affected the villages, communities or streets alongside. The client (Chaonan water supply company) has asked officially for opinions from all relevant departments, streets and communities along the line before construction, and appealed the construction information as required in complaint and appeal mechanism. No complaints have been received so far during the construction of the project by far. As of this report, public consultations have been conducted for all the projects that have been constructed before the commencement of the construction, and there is no new construction started in this period.

3.4 Other Actions

Apart from the above, some other activities conducted as per the framework of the SAP and the GAP are as follows; (1) Utility of local materials: local materials are widely used in the construction, including the cement, earth, gravels, aggregate chips, steel bars, etc., which have brought good economic benefits to Chaonan District. By the end of June 2020, the value of local building materials used for the project has added up to CNY 168.56 million, among which a cumulative amount of about CNY 12.62 million is used in this monitoring period;

42

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114-PRC) (3114)PRC) (2) Trainings in safety awareness of both traffic and construction have been conducted, and the safety of construction labors has been guaranteed; (3) Bulletin boards respectively of safety instructions, civilized construction, etc. have been established on the construction sites, and the roads have been recovered timely during construction to guarantee the travel safety of residents from communities nearby.

(2) Continuously implement the social development plan and the gender action plan, and promote social inclusiveness and gender equality.

In the implementation of the project, the project actively provides employment opportunities 35

M&E on Resettlement, Social and Gender Development (3114- PRC) for local residents, women, local personnel and the poor. As of the first half of 2020, 5,206 labors were employed with 1,501 women and 925 poor labors. The completion rate of employment-rate has declined compared with the previous period due to the impact of COVID-19, and the proportion in women and low-income workers have not reached the required target. The project has provided equal opportunity for women in employment, training and public participation. However, up to June 2020, the targets of SDAP and GAP have not reached in female employment and participation. Chaonan PMO has attached great importance to the SDAP & the GAP during the project implementation and has attached the SDAP and the GAP as official appendices as well as integral parts of the contract. The PMO has assigned a focal staff to be responsible for the implementation of the SDAP and the GAP, and one female staff to be in charge of the gender-related affairs. Moreover, during this M&E period, PMO has actively provided trainings in gender and social development for contractors, and integrated the social security requirements with the construction works so as to urge contractors to make great progress during this M&E period in terms of both awareness and action. (3) In general, SAP and GAP have been well implemented, however, there are still actions not to be started yet as details set out below: • Leadership capacity development: Workshops on social inclusion and equitable access to the new economic achievements (particularly for the poor and farmers in the transitional period), and workshops on urban expansion and employment (labor opportunities for the poor and rural areas) have not been conducted so far. PMO has scheduled to develop the action plan to conduct at least one workshop by end of the project. Detailed plan will be presented in the next report for 2nd half of 2020; • Project outcome for women’s benefit in water supply: It is indicated in GAP that workload on women will be reduced as a result of the improved and equitable water supply service, in particular for rural females. But since the pipeline construction in rural areas has not been completed yet, the rural households cannot have tap water supply connected until end of 2020. PMO has scheduled to collect data and make analysis for this indicator in the 2nd half of 2021. • Evaluation of the quality of water supply service: This task has not been conducted yet by far, but has been scheduled by PMO to develop the survey plan with questionnaire by end of 2020, and then the survey and evaluation will be conducted upon the completion of the pipeline completion. More details are to be presented in the next report. • Managerial and skill positions for females in water conservation subproject (output 1): The construction of this subproject has been completed by end of 2019. In 1st half of 2020, there are 30 workers serving for forest nursery and replant with 10 females, but there are no females working for managerial and skill positions. PMO has urged forestation bureau to enhance the gender awareness, and provide more managerial and skill job opportunities.

4.2 Suggestions

(1) Taking measures and enhance social development plan to achieve targeted indicators in the SAP and GAP

In this report phase, the completion proportion in employment has all declined, especially the employment in women and low-income. 1) Female employment. According to the requirements of the GAP, women's employment account for 30% of the total , and 50% of the positions women taken should be managerial and/or skill positions. But by the end of June 2020, the status of women's employment : (i) total female employees in construction phase only accounts for 28.83% of the total, and that in Output 2 only accounts for 25.36% of the total; (ii) women who have taken managerial and skill jobs only accounts for 10.03% of all women employees, not reaching the target of 50%; (iii) Females participating in contractors' trainings only occupies 28.65% of the total trainees, while female participants in institutional capacity strengthen trainings only accounts for 32%，both not meet the target (40%) required by the gender action plan.

Although the employment status has been greatly impacted by COVID-19, but the consist failure in the required target of female employment and training reflected the necessity to enhance the capability building on social inclusiveness and gender sensitiveness of IAs and contractors. . 2) Low-income employees. The employment proportion of low-income labors has accumulatively added up to17.77%, reaching the target of 15% from SDAP, but only 12.57% in this period, 2.43% lower than the target required in the social action plan. The main reason is that Gansu Yian construction, Taitong construction and Guangzhou Dayu have no labors employed from low-income households, even though all the other contractors have reached the target in this period. In view of the above problems, experts suggest that: as of this period, the implementation of the social and gender action plan of the project is basically good, except women's employment and participation in trainings. Therefore, we should continue to vigorously promote positive action measures in the implementation before the completion of the project to improve gender equality. In the case of the alleviation of the new coronavirus epidemic situation, we should make more efforts to increase the job opportunities for local residents, low-income residents and women, expand the channels of employment information transmission and training by all means including network and smart phones, and improve the quality of jobs provided to women for more skill and management positions, and continue to improve women's participation in training and public consultations. PMO needs to continue to actively promote and coordinate the implementation of social and gender actions as always before project completion, strengthen the training on gender sensitivity, social development action plan and implementation of gender action plan of all implementing units, and monitor the implementation of SDAP and GAP in a timely manner.
