Section 5 Monitoring conclusions and recommendations for Tacheng City project
1. Conclusions
(1) The design and implementation of the project ensured the living standards of
EM, and EM benefited from various development measures.
(2) The EMDP leadership is basically sound, but the PMO staff is not familiar with the EMDP monitoring work. It is difficult for the external monitoring organization to carry out the work. For example, the external monitoring agency has tried to make appointments for interviewing PMO staff three times, but no interview was made.
(3) EMDP provides no internal monitoring report, and the data are not archived.
2. Problems and recommendations
(1) Roadway drainage problem in Bali Village of Tacheng City. Tacheng City
PMO coordinates the relevant departments, conducts technical consultation on the drainage problems of the roadway works, and proposes corresponding solutions.
(2) Roadway is excavated in Kaerdun Village of Tacheng City. Tacheng City
PMO coordinates the relevant departments, speed up the construction progress, make corresponding plans, and resume the excavated roadway as soon as possible.
(3) EMDP data is fragmented or missing. The data required for EMDP should be collected, categorized and organized, an EMDP file created, and an EMDP internal monitoring report written.

Implementation of Measures for social environmental risks (A)
1. Implementation of affected people’s income recovery (A1)
1. optimizing the design plan, reduce land acquisition and house demolition
The specific measures for optimizing the design plan, reducing land acquisition and house demolition in Emin County 2018 are:
First, in the project planning and design process, make full use of the original roadbed and pavement, does not affect or less affect the cultivated land and grassland, buildings or structures and trees, minimize the impact on the EM residents along the road, thus the negative impact of the project is reduced to a minimum, see Fig. 4-2.
Fig. 4-2 The look of Cultural East Road after relocation and construction in Emin County Second, in the process of housing demolition, the IAs strictly consult with the residents in accordance with relevant national and local policies, and hire consulting companies to conduct evaluation and guidance, and determine relevant compensation and subsidy standards and resettlement programs on the basis of full consultation with the affected HHs and relevant parties.
Third, in the process of project implementation, the permanently acquisition of
39 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Ethnic Minority Development Plan of Xinjiang Tacheng Project Funded by ADB Loan (Year of 2018) collectively-owned land designed by the project is scattered in the HHs of the land acquisition. The land acquired only accounts for a small part of the land area of the
HHs to be acquired, and the impact on the production and living of the HHs is small.
For example, in the process of constructing the Guihuaqi Road and Guihuajiu Road in
Jiujiahu Village, the largest area of cultivated land is 3.37 mu, accounting for only
6.42% of the total cultivated area of the affected HHs.
2. Compensation and resettlement in accordance with the RP
Residents with house demolition in Emin County choose cash compensation, and residents are free to choose resettlement sites. In 2017, the compensation standard for cultivated land (excluding young crops fee) was 37,500 yuan/mu, which was reduced by 7500 yuan/mu compared with the Resettlement Plan; the external monitoring team learned that the Emin County railway project required 2,428.36 mu of land, involving
306 HHs in 32 village teams. The ADB-funded Project levied 166.83 mu of cultivated land, involving 36 HHs residents. The ADB-funded Project has land acquisition accounting for 6.43% of the total land acquisition. Therefore, the unified land acquisition compensation standard was adopted in Tacheng Prefecture.
3. Livelihood restoration and training
In 2018, a total of 456 skills training courses were organized for residents of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement in Emin County, and trained 141,000 person-times to help 5105 people master practical skills, including 3042 EM residents.
2. Reduce the restrictions on access to the shops on both sides of the roads in
Emin County (A2)
2.1 Inform the road construction period in advance in bilingual
In 2018, during the construction of Guihuaqi Road and Guihuajiu Road in Emin
County, a temporary safety slogan sign and a road construction notice notice were established to inform the construction. See Fig. 4-3.
40 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Ethnic Minority Development Plan of Xinjiang Tacheng Project Funded by ADB Loan (Year of 2018)
Fig. 4-3 Public sign for project construction 2.2 Take relevant measures to ensure the safety of children and passers-by
In 2018, Guihuaqi Road and Guihuajiu Road in Emin County were constructed until in September (in order to reduce the loss of small-sized agricultural HHs, construction was not started until the corn harvest was completed). Construction will be carried out in accordance with construction safety requirements in the later phase.
Construction units set up warning signs in EM language around important places such as mosques, shops, canals and roads to ensure the safety of children and passers-by.
3. Reduce community water cuts and other construction disturbances (A3)
3.1 Regular notice (bilingual)
In the 2018 construction process, no water cuts and other construction disturbances were caused to any community. If there is any impact in the later construction, the contractor will issue a notice in bilingual form three days in advance to remind the affected people.
3.2 Project construction order is publicized
During the construction period in 2018, no complaints were received from residents in the construction area. Before the construction of the project, the project construction sequence and construction period will be publicized (see Fig. 4-2) to let the affected people clearly understand the specific conditions of the project

6.2 The workers are well dressed and can’t be shirtless
During the construction of the project in Emin County in 2018, the contractor provided the construction workers with overalls and required uniformity during construction, not to be shirtless.
6.3 Provide translators (in Kazak or other languages) to enhance communication with Contractors
Emin County's EM residents have a higher level of bilingualism, and some of the
44 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Ethnic Minority Development Plan of Xinjiang Tacheng Project Funded by ADB Loan (Year of 2018) project management staff of Han ethnic group also understand the local EM language.
Therefore, there is no full-time bilingual translator in the project implementation process.
III. Implementation of positive impact enhancement measures (B)
1. Increase the coverage of public transport services (B1)

Section 5 Monitoring conclusions and recommendations in Emin County
1. Conclusions
(1) The design and implementation of the project ensured the living standards of the EM people, and the EM people are benefited from various development measures.
(2) The EMDP leadership is basically sound, but the PMO staff is part-time staff understanding the EMDP monitoring work not well.
(3) For EMDP, no internal monitoring data is archived, which brings certain difficulties to the external monitoring work.
2. Problems and recommendations
(1) There is no full-time staff at the PMO of Emin County. It is recommended that Emin County PMO be staffed with full-time staff to fully understand the project
51 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Ethnic Minority Development Plan of Xinjiang Tacheng Project Funded by ADB Loan (Year of 2018) content and carry out EMDP internal monitoring work.
(2) EMDP data is scattered or missing. The information required for EMDP should be collected, sorted out and archived as an EMDP file, and develop an EMDP internal monitoring report.
