  • People's Republic of China FY2017 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese
    People's Republic of China FY2017 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan Project “Guizhou Province Environment Improvement and Education Project” External Evaluators: Toshihiro Nishino/Ayako Nomoto, International Development Center of Japan Inc. 0. Summary The project aimed to improve environment and hygiene, and to develop human resources in local farming villages and suburban cities in 12 national poverty-stricken counties in Guizhou Province by constructing or improving facilities for (i) environmental measures such as methane gas facilities, waste and disposal facilities, and reforestation; (ii) hygiene measures such as roads for daily use, water supply, and medical services; and (iii) senior high school buildings. The project has been consistent with China’s development plans and development needs as well as with Japan’s ODA policy. Therefore, the relevance of the project is high. Although the project cost was within the plan, the project period significantly exceeded it. Therefore, the efficiency of the project is low. The effectiveness/impact is high. Indicators set to measure quantitative effects such as culling of forests, flooded area, volume of soil erosion, percentage of population served water, number of patients, volume and percentage of waste disposed, and senior high school enrollment rate have largely achieved targets or improved. As to qualitative effects, improvements in the environment (including living environment) such as the decrease in the collection of firewood and charcoal, improvement of medical services, improvement of hygiene as well as effects of education have been observed. As for impacts, a decrease in the population of rural poverty, regional economic development, sustainable environmental and social development, and a reduction in the women’s household workload have been observed.

Through the literature and a field investigation, the species composition, endemism, horizontal distribution, vertical distribution and similarity were analysed. Finally, the hotspots of Gesneriaceae in Guizhou were determined by a complementary algorithm. The results were as follows: There are 153 species (including subspecies) of Gesneriaceae in Guizhou Province, belonging to 2 tribes, 8 subtribes, and 28 genera. These plants are distributed among 75 county-level administrative chinaXiv:202104.00080v1 districts. There are 128 species endemic to China and 45 endemic to Guizhou, and the vertical distribution is the most abundant at altitudes of 900-1 300 m. The calculation of the provincial similarity coefficient showed that Guizhou and Guangxi had the highest similarity. Finally, 10 hot spots were selected, representing 75% of the Gesneriaceae plants. Guizhou Province is a typical karst plateau mountainous area that is rich in species of Gesneriaceae, especially Oreocharis, Primulina, Petrocodon and Paraboea, which have high species diversity and regional specificity.
