The Program Development Objective (PDO) is to improve the rural road network connectivity, safety and quality in selected counties in Anhui Province. Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Public Disclosure Authorized Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Loan Agreement and Program Agreement were signed on December 29, 2018. The project was declared as Effectiveness on February 26, 2019 upon successful completion of the effective process. It finances a portion of the government programs (10 counties out of total 56 counties, covering 12 million population of Anhui Province’s total population of 69 million). The ten participating counties in eight municipalities are: Lixin (Bozhou Municipality); Xiao and Si (Suzhou Municipality); Linquan and Funan (Fuyang Municipality); Shou (Huainan Municipality); Dingyuan (Chuzhou Municipality); Shucheng (Lu’an Municipality); Hanshan (Ma’anshan Municipality); and Yuexi (Anqing Municipality). The Program is on track to achieve its development objectives. It has achieved a good progress in implementing the programs, though Anhui experienced institutional reforms and the COVID-19 pandemic since last mission. The achievements of the Program exceeded the targets. To support the implementation of rural roads maintenance program, Anhui provincial government doubled its subsidies for rural roads rehabilitation/reconstruction and provided a subsidy of RMB15,000 per km for county roads, RMB7000 per km for township roads, and RMB2,000 per km for village roads. Periodical and rehabilitation maintenance works covered 7% of county and township roads last year. Anhui also piloted Public Disclosure Authorized commercial insurance for rural roads in 27 counties to mitigate the risk of natural disasters, which covers over 57,000 km of roads. In addition, Anhui promoted the Four Excellences in rural roads management and recognized 26 counties as demonstration counties of implementing the four excellences. Of which, 6 counties are on the list of national demonstration counties, including 4 participating counties (Shucheng, Lixin, Yuexi, and Linquan). The verification of achievements of the Program and the disbursement of the Loan are lagged. The first withdrawal application under the PforR for US$50 million advance payment was disbursed to the Designated Account as of January 2020. An Independent Verification Agent (IVA) was hired by the program management office to verify the achievements of the Program in November 2020. The verification report for achievements of prior results has been completed by the IVA. The verification for the programs implemented in 2019 and 2020 is ongoing.

  • Provenance of the Zhou Dynasty Bronze Vessels Unearthed from Zongyang County, Anhui Province, China: Determined by Lead Isotopes and Trace Elements
    Provenance of the Zhou Dynasty Bronze Vessels Unearthed from Zongyang County, Anhui Province, China: Determined by Lead Isotopes and Trace Elements Yanjie Wang ( [email protected] ) Anhui University https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5768-5464 Guofeng Wei Anhui University Qiang Li Anhui University Xiaoping Zheng Wenzhou Party Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology Danchun Wang Anhui Museum Research Article Keywords: Bronze vessels, Mining and smelting, Lead isotopes, Trace elements, Provenance Posted Date: June 17th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-176870/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Page 1/20 Abstract Thirteen Zhou Dynasty bronze vessels and two slags from Zongyang County along the north bank of the Yangtze River in Anhui were analyzed by LA-MC-ICP-MS and EDXRF. The results of the lead isotope analysis showed that there were two kinds of lead materials in the Zongyang bronzes. Class which could have originated from the Wannan region were mainly used in the Western Zhou and the following Spring and Autumn periods; while Class , possibly from the local mines in Zongyang County, were mainly present in the Warring States period. Such a shift in the ore material sources is also revealed by the analysis of the trace elements of the Zongyang bronzes. With reference to relevant historical documents, it can be inferred that the transformation of the bronze material sources could be related to the changes of the political situation during the Zhou Dynasty.

This study takes Anhui section of Huaihe River Economic Belt as the case studies, and then the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) theory was used to construct the ecosystem security evaluation index system. In addition, cloud matter element as well as resistance diagnosis model was adopted to dynamically evaluate the spatio-temporal evolution pattern. The final stage was to diagnose main obstacle factors of ecosystem security in Anhui section of Huaihe River Economic Belt from 2010 to 2018. The results indicate that: (1) Overall, the ecosystem security level of Anhui section of the Huaihe River Economic belt has undergone the evolution trend of “descending - ascending - descending - ascending”, and the overall change shows the curve of “W” shape.

  • Research on Logistics Efficiency of Anhui Province
    2019 4th International Workshop on Materials Engineering and Computer Sciences (IWMECS 2019) Research on Logistics Efficiency of Anhui Province Han Yanhui School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, P. R. China [email protected] Keywords: Logistics efficiency; DEA model; Anhui province Abstract: China's logistics industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and logistics efficiency is the main indicator that reflects the level of logistics development. This article first illustrated the situation of logistics development in Anhui Province and established an index system for evaluation of logistics efficiency, including four input indicators, the number of employees in the logistics industry, the mileage of graded roads, investment in fixed assets in the logistics industry and education expenditure, as well as two output indicators, the freight turnover volume and the added value of the logistics industry; then use the CCR-DEA and BCC-DEA models to evaluate the logistics efficiency of 16 cities of Anhui province. The results show that there is a phenomenon of unbalanced logistics development. Among them, Suzhou, Chizhou, and Anqing have low logistics efficiency, which is the bottleneck that limits the improvement of logistics efficiency in Anhui Province. 1. Introduction With the growth of China's economic level and the continuous transformation of economic growth pattern, the development level of logistics industry has become an important index to measure the comprehensive development level of a region. Anhui province is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river and the Huaihe river. Together with Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, forms the Yangtze river delta urban agglomeration.
