1. EXECUTION CAPACITY OF RP IAS The External Monitoring Group fails to monitor the RP Leading Group under Tacheng Prefecture ADB Project and only obtained the "Members of Tacheng Prefectural Project Lead Group". At the same time, the External Monitoring Group made a proposal to hold discussions with the RP Team, but the leadership did not appear; The External Monitoring Group did not find an office dedicated to the ADB loan program. The project was not a routine management task for them. Their work on the RP was only emergency. The immigration data of the counties (cities) related to the project did not collect Tacheng PrefectureMembers. Of the project leading group office. 2. WORK EFFICIENCY OF RP IAS The specific staff of Tacheng Project RP Office has only one part-time employee. He is the section chief of the Construction Department of the Housing and Urban- Rural Development Bureau of Tacheng Prefecture. After the implementation of the project, he is mainly responsible for contacting the External Monitoring Group and the project counties (cities). This work is not very familiar with the RP Plan. As external monitoring agencies enter the field investigation, they can actively assist the External Monitoring Group. Data, documents and files related to immigration have not yet been established. Any data required by the monitoring agency needs to be collected in the Subproject area. During the process of data collection, it was also found that the PMO arranged to provide work for the RP data of the sub-PMO. Due to various reasons, it was delayed for a long time.

36 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Resettlement Plan for Xinjiang Tacheng Border Cities and Counties Development Project in 2017 RP Leading Group. In Tacheng City, only the “Notice on the Establishment or Adjustment of the ADB Loan Project Leading Group in Tacheng City” was discovered. The External Monitoring Group required the staff to discuss with the RP team, but the leader did not appear. The External Monitoring Group also did not find the ADB loan project office. The staff were all distributed. 2.2 WORK EFFICIENCY OF RP IAS The External Monitoring Group found that only one part-time worker in Tacheng City was transferred to the ADB project in March 2017, and the ADB project was not one of his routine tasks. It was only his emergency work; he was busy with other works; with the help of the External Monitoring Group, he starts to be familiar with the RP Plan; therefore, the Tacheng City ADB project staff has a high frequency of transfer, low work efficiency, and even does not understand the contents of the RP Plan, which makes work difficult. 3. Evaluation of RP internal monitoring In 2017, the RP monitoring work of the Tacheng City ADB project was not carried out, and there were few staff members. Internal monitoring of the RP was not carried out.

Section 6 RP conclusion and suggestion in Tacheng City

1. Conclusions The implementation progress of RP of Tacheng City Subproject in 2017 was slow. From the implementation point of view, there is a certain gap between the implementation of the project and the requirements of ADB and the plans in the RP plan. (1) The leadership structure and staff of the RP Plan are lacking, the coordination between the institutions is not smooth, and it is difficult to carry out the work. (2) The project staff does not understand the RP Plan and does not understand the project content and implementation progress. However, after the staff communicates with the External Monitoring Group, they can actively coordinate the various departments to provide corresponding information. (3) The land acquisition in the project area of Tacheng City in 2017: the demolition and compensation are not carried out, and the progress of the project is slow. 2. Problems and Suggestions During the external monitoring of Tacheng City Subproject in 2017, we found some deficiencies. The following suggestions are recommended: (1) Land acquisition, demolition and compensation work lags behind. Tacheng City PMO should coordinate the removal and resettlement offices and the land and resources bureau, separate the non-adjusted projects, and prioritize the implementation of land acquisition, demolition and compensation for non-adjusted projects, laying the foundation for the completion of the project on schedule. (2) The organization is missing. Establish the “RP Plan” Leading Group, and arrange at least two staff to be responsible for the “RP Plan” project, collect project progress, relevant information of various departments, etc., and cooperate with the External Monitoring Group's research and data collection.

In 2017, the External Monitoring Group conducted a survey on the satisfaction of 25 sample HHs in Emin County. Overall, the sample HHs had a high degree of satisfaction, but some of the sample HHs were not very satisfied with the health status of the residential areas, and passed sample HHs. According to the discussion, the garbage disposal time is not fixed, and the garbage collection time is long, which affects the lives of the residents near the garbage dumping point.

Execution capacity and work efficiency of RP IAs 2.1 EXECUTION CAPACITY OF RP IAS The External Monitoring Group failed to monitor the RP Leading Group under Emin County subproject. Through communication with the staff, it was learned that the Emin County subproject RP Leading Group was not established in the form of official approval, but only a simple division of work determined during the meeting. Prior to 2016, PMO was established in the Development and Reform Commission of Emin County. In 2016, the PMO was established in the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Emin County. The PMO Director was concurrently chaired by the Director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau in Emin County. There are 4 staff members who all are part-time therein.

Fig. 5-1 Discussion between External Monitoring Group and Emin County subproject staff 2.2 WORK EFFICIENCY OF RP IAS The work of Emin County RP is just one of the tasks of the PMO. The PMO is responsible for many projects and the staff is busy. The ADB project is only one of their emergency work. Therefore, the staff did not understand the “RP of Emin County” well and did not collect relevant data. The work efficiency is low and the work is difficult to carry out. 3. Evaluation of RP internal monitoring work In 2017, the RP internal monitoring of the Emin County ADB project was not carried out. The staff did not understand the content of RP of Emin County, did not establish a RP project database, did not prepare an internal monitoring report, and had no on-site inspection and supervision. Section 4 RP Fulfillment and Progress in Emin County 1. Permanent land acquisition plan and progress 1.1 Progress and Compensation of Permanent Acquisition of Collective Land (Arable Land) 1) Progress of permanent acquisition of collective land (arable land) Emin County Subproject plans to permanently collect collective land area of 81 mu. In 2017, the actual acquisition of collective land area was 166.83 mu, completing 205.96% of the collection plan. The collective land permanently acquired by Emin County includes farmer's contracted land and village collective land. The land actually contracted by Jiujiacun Village farmers is 86.81 mu, accounting for 143.49% of the planned land acquisition, and the actual land acquisition farmer households are 36,

58 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Resettlement Plan for Xinjiang Tacheng Border Cities and Counties Development Project in 2017 accounting for 112.5 of the planned land acquisition farmer households. %; The actual acquisition of Jiujiacun Village collective land 2.27 mu, accounting for 14.19% of the plan; The actual acquisition of Jiaodong Village collective land 77.75 mu, accounting for 1727.78% of the plan; 2017 actual land acquisition area does not match the planned land acquisition area, mainly because There is a gap between the previous design and the actual operation (see details in Table 5-27). The reason why Jiujiacun Village's peasants' arable land acquisition exceeded the plan was as follows: Through actual measurement and preliminary design, the land acquisition area was more accurately determined. The land acquisition area increased from the planned 60.5 mu to 86.81 mu, which was 26.31 mu more than planned. Therefore, The number of peasant households requisitioned land has also increased from 32 in the plan to 36 households, an increase of 4 households over the plan. The reason why the collective land acquisition in Jiaodong Village exceeds the plan is: According to the project unit field visit, the errors in the preliminary design were corrected, and the collective land acquisition of Jiaodong Village increased from the planned 4.5 mu to 77.75 mu, which was 73.25 mu more than planned.

According to the “Circular on Announcement of the Implementation of the Unified Annual Output Value Standard for Land Acquisition in the Autonomous Region” (Government of New Land [2011] No. 19), the first-class cultivated land for arable land compensation is 1,500 yuan/mu, and that for the second-class land is 800 yuan/mu. Tertiary cultivated land is 600 yuan/mu; According to “RP of Emin County” (December 2014 version), the

59 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Resettlement Plan for Xinjiang Tacheng Border Cities and Counties Development Project in 2017 compensation standard for collective land acquisition by Emin County is 46,500 yuan/mu, including: land compensation standard is 15,000 yuan/mu. The resettlement compensation standard is 30,000 yuan/mu, and the young crop compensation standard is 1500 yuan/mu. The land acquisition standard for the resettlement plan is calculated on the basis of the first-class arable land base. The land compensation fee is 10 times the first-class arable land base, and the resettlement compensation fee is one-grade arable land. 20 times; The actual land acquisition compensation standard for Emin County in 2017 is lower than the planned compensation standard, in which land compensation fee is lower by 3,000 yuan/mu and resettlement compensation fee is lower by 4,500 yuan/mu (see details in Table 5-28). According to the External Monitoring Group from Emin County PMO, the reason why the actual land acquisition compensation compensation rate is lower than the planned compensation rate is as follows: The compensation rate for the permanent acquisition of the collective land program is the value estimated by the demolition office. The actual compensation standard is the exact value of the evaluation company. Therefore, the implementation of the evaluation company's compensation standards.

The area of the land acquired by the land acquisition household is large, and the land levied is only a small part of the land acquisition household. The impact on the family is not great. In addition, PMO has taken various measures to restore the production and living conditions of land acquisition households. Such as (1) giving financial compensation, (2) planting and breeding technical training and other measures. 1.2 Permanent acquisition of state-owned land plans and progress Emin County Subproject plans to permanently collect 86.33 mu of state-owned land, and 0 in 2017. In the “RP of Emin County” (December 2014), the unused state- owned land was permanently collected as 8.59 mu, and the state-owned residential land was 77.74 mu. There was no collection of state-owned land in 2017 (see details in Table 5-30).

They did not understand the progress of the implementation and it was difficult to collect and coordinate the data. 2. Problems and Suggestions The External Monitoring Group found that the Emin County Subproject area has some deficiencies during the implementation of the project. The recommendations are as follows: (1) Land acquisition, demolition and compensation work information is incomplete.

Section 6 RP conclusion and suggestion in Yumin County

1. Conclusions In 2017, the RP of Yumin County Subproject had a slow implementation and land acquisition was not carried out. Through an interview with the staff, it was learned that land acquisition was completed before the implementation of the project because there was no discussion about the Members of the Project Leading Group. There is no updated "RP Plan" that has yet to be verified. From the perspective of project implementation, there is a certain gap between the implementation of the RP Plan and the requirements of ADB. (1) Documents for the establishment of Yumin County's Governing Body for the RP Plan have not been obtained and no leadership agency has been found. (2) The project staff do not know the RP Plan, the work communication is difficult, and the information is difficult to provide. Through communication, relevant departments' information can be provided. (3) The project file was not established and the data collection work was not carried out. 2. Problems and Suggestions In 2017, the External Monitoring Group found some deficiencies in the development of Yumin County Subproject. The following suggestions are made:

86 External Monitoring & Evaluation Report on Resettlement Plan for Xinjiang Tacheng Border Cities and Counties Development Project in 2017 (1) The Yumin County Subproject leading group and working organization have not been established. It is recommended to establish a “RP Plan” leading group, PMO and other working organizations, and arrange full-time staff to take charge of the “RP Plan” project. Staff should fully understand the contents of the RP Plan and collect relevant information. (2) Create a "RP Plan" data file, collect all aspects of information in a timely manner, followed by archiving them.

Therefore, no public consultation activities were held. 2. Hearing and settling the complaints of affected people There was no complaint in the implementation of Tuoli County Subproject in 2017. In order to solve the problems that occurred during the implementation of the project and ensure the smooth implementation of project construction and land acquisition, the project established complaint and complaint channels.

Section 5 RP Conclusions and Suggestion in Tuoli County

1. Conclusions The RP of 2017 for Tuoli County Subproject is being implemented, but the implementation is slow. From the perspective of project implementation, the implementation of the RP Plan (December 2014) is somewhat different from the requirements of ADB. (1) The documents for setting up a leading group of Tuoli County's RP have not been obtained, nor have interviewed any Members of the Project Leading Group, nor leadership agency was found. (2) Project staff do not understand the RP Plan and it is difficult to obtain information. (3) The project file was not established and no data collection was conducted. 2. Problems and Suggestions Some deficiencies in the implementation of Tuoli County Subproject are as found out with the following suggestions: (1) Tuoli County Subproject's leading group and working agency plays a less important role. It is recommended to improve the RP Leading Group, PMO and other working agencies, and to refine the responsibilities of various institutions and staff, and designate some person to be responsible for RP work. (2) Create a RP data file, collect all aspects of information in a timely manner for archiving.
