The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project 1. Introduction

On June 29 2006, Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved 200 million US Dollar from Ordinary Capitcal Resource( OCR) for Hunan Flood Management Sector Project. The first 8 subprojects were identified as the core subprojects, namely Loudi, Xinhua, Sangzhi, Wugang, Yongzhou, Huaihua and Chenxi. The external resettlement monitoring and evaluation( M&E) work was commissioned to Changsha Xinghuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co.,( CXWEETD). So far, the first resettlement M&E report had been prepared and submitted to ADB including the 4 subprojects, Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang and Sangzhi. Now, it’s the second round of the resettlement M&E. in all 36 subprojects, only 6 of 8 core subprojects had started the resettlement and land acquisition. They are Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang, Sangzhi, Huaihua and Yongzhou. Leiyang and Chenxi subprojects had some small scaled civil works construction but no the resettlement and land acquisition were involved. Therefore, this M&E report is principally centered for the remaining 6 core subprojects. Since the Project implementation and the resettlement implementation in the relevant subprojects are at an early stage, little progress has been made in these regards. Therefore, the second M&E report will focus on the establishment of resettlement organizations, the complied resettlement policies and compensation standards, land acquisition and resettlement progress and resettlement fund raising and disbursement. Based on ADB’s requirement, the external monitoring and evaluation report is a consolidated one covering all the relevant subprojects. No separate M&E report is necessary for each individual subproject.

2. Project Overview

2.1 Project Scope

Hunan Flood Management Sector Project covers 35 counties with severe flood impact. The project area consists of 8 municipalities including Zhuzhou, Hengyang, Youzhou, Loudi, Chengzhou, Shaoyang, Huaihua and one autonomy prefecture, Jishou and 27 counties located in the 12 municipalities.

The 8 core subprojects are Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang, Sangzhi, Yongzhou, Leiyang,

They are not only the county seat but also the local financial, communication, commercial and cultural center where a lot of agricultural, industrial and commercial activities concentrated. Although these cities have higher elevation above the sea with undulating topography and little flood impact from Dongting Lake and Four Rivers, they are prone to suffer from flash floods. The flash floods have the characteristics of quite rapid rise and large flow, causing substantive localized damage. Therefore, the Hunan Flood Management Sector Project has the great significance.

According to the engineering scopes and the designed flood protection standards, the structural measures of 8 core subprojects include flood control works, water-logging works, dredging and flood control roads. The total investment of 8 core subprojects is RMB 1.337907 billion Yuan including RMB 198.9377 million Yuan for resettlement cost. After the structural measures completion, the flood protection standards in municipalities will be raised to 1 in 50 year return period and the water logging standard will be raised to 1 in 20 year return period; the flood project standards in counties will be raised to 1 in 20 year return period and the water logging standards will be raised to 1 in 10 year return period. The Project will substantively reduce the flood suffering and damage. The engineering scope of each core subproject refers to table 2.1-1.

2.2 Project Resettlement Impact Summary

The scope of resettlement and land acquisition covers areas with land acquisition and areas where people’s production and their lives are unfavorably affected. According to the resettlement plans of 8 core subprojects, the total temporary land acquisition is 2666.75mu; the total permanent land acquisition is 3997.98 mu; the total affected population is 3734 households with 15396 persons; the total relocated population is 976 households with 3691 persons and the demolished house areas are 155519.8m2. The resettlement impact summary of 8 core subprojects refer to Table 2.2-1~2.2-4.

5．The Resettlement Baseline Surveys

From end 2007 to the beginning of 208, Hunan Province, especially the project area had suffered 1in 100 years snow disaster, which had tremendous impact on the normal production and lives. The traffic, power supply and water supply were stopped. The provincial highway had been paralyzed almost 20 days. This natural disaster coincided with Chinese Spring Fesitival and thousands of travelers were stopped halfway. Under this circumstance, CXWEETD managed to finish the field surveys in Loudi, Xinhua and Wugang.However, the survey works for the other remaining 4 subprojects were forced to suspend due to harsh weather conditions.

Just after the Spring Festival, CXWEETD intended to intensify the effort in conducting the baseline survey for the remaining 4 subproject but only managed to have undertaken the field survey for the only one subproject-sangzhi because the subproject areas were reconstructing the snow-struck infrastructure and their own houses besides their routine spring farming activities. The baseline surveys for Huaihua and Youzhou subprojects had to been postponed to the next M&E period.

Therefore, the baseline survey this time only covered 4 subprojects, Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang and Sangzhi. The CXWEETD collected the scio-economic data and conducted the sampled household surveys. There were 193 sampling households in total including 70 households in Loudi, 60 in Xinhua, 42 in Wugang and 22 in Sangzhi.

Immediately after the completion of the field surveys, the CXXX collated the collected data and made the analysis. A baseline survey database was also established. The summary of baseline survey refers to Table 5-1.

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project 5.1 Loudi

5.1.1 Living Conditions of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, there were 39 sample households in Loudi Subproject. Currently, the total housing areas of these households were 6213m2, including 5758 m2 brick-concrete structure, accounting for 93%, 455 m2 brick-wood structure, accounting for 7%. The average housing areas was 51 m2.

There are 70 sample households in Loudi Subproject. Currently, the total housing areas of these households are 13045m2, including 12222 m2 brick-concrete structure, accounting for 94%, 823 m2 brick-wood structure, accounting for 6%. The average housing areas is 56 m2, which is almost the same with the first M&E period.

As the subproject is distributed in a linear shape along Lianshui and Sunshui River, almost all of the affected persons live at the junction of urban and rural areas and very close to the riverine. They frequently suffered from the flooding damage and their living conditions are generally poor. Almost all the houses are old brick-concrete or brick-wood structures at the first or second floor. These houses were built in late 1980’s and in early 1990’s, some of which are already in poor conditions. Residents here hope to improve their living conditions soonest.

5.1.2 Production Conditions and Employment of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, the sampled 39 affected households had 29.1 mu farmlands in total including 6.2 mu paddy fields, accounting for 21%; 3.1mu dry land, accounting for 11%; 19.8 mu vegetable lands, accounting for 68%. The average farmland holding was 0.36 mu.

Based on the survey this time, the sampled 70 affected households have 65.15 mu farmlands in total including 14 mu paddy fields, accounting for 21%; 6.9mu dry land, accounting for 11%; 44.25 mu vegetable lands, accounting for 68%. The average farmland holding is 0.36 mu.

During the first M&E period, the typical affected households were selected for household surveys in each village. This time, more affected households were surveyed and the results showed that the average farmland per capita was the same with the previous because the land quantities are almost same in all the surveyed villages

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 32

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project whose land was contracted to each household.

As the subproject is distributed in a linear shape along the river, most of farmers only lost a small portion of their own lands.

The agriculture plantation in the subproject area is mainly vegetable and rice. The paddy fields grow vegetable, double-cropping rice and some single-cropping rice, soybean and oilseed. The dry lands grow grain, soybean, green pea, pea, sweet potato, potato, peanut, oilseed, vegetable and melon fruit etc.

The subproject area is located at the junction of urban and rural areas and the relevant infrastructures are comparatively good. Local farmers have more opportunities to get involved into non-agricultural activities. Most of rural surplus labor forces, especially young labor forces have been transferred to working in the secondary and tertiary sectors. They are migrant workers in coastal cities, such as Guangzhou. They are mainly involved into construction and service sectors.

5.1.3 Economic Income of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, the total income of 39 sample households was RMB 527,040 Yuan last year including RMB 110,040 Yuan from the primary sector, accounting for 21% of the total. The income from vegetable plantation was RMB 99,000 Yuan, accounting for 90% of the total income from the primary sector and also accounting for 19% of the total income generated from the three sectors. The income from the secondary and tertiary sector was RMB 417,000 Yuan, accounting for 79% of the total income. The salary income from the migrant workers in the secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 246,600 Yuan, accounting for the 59% of the total income from these two sectors and also accounting for 47% of the total income from the above-mentioned three sectors. The average income per capita was RMB 3,980 Yuan.

According to the resettlement baseline survey this time, the total income of 70 sample households was RMB 981,120 Yuan last year including RMB 243,420Yuan from the primary sector, accounting for 25% of the total. The income from vegetable plantation was 233,530RMB Yuan, accounting for 96% of the total income from the primary sector and also accounting for 24% of the total income generated from the three sectors. The income from the secondary and tertiary sector was RMB 737,700 Yuan, accounting for

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 33

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project 75% of the total income. The salary income from the migrant workers in the secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 505,023Yuan, accounting for the 68% of the total income from these two sectors and also accounting for 51% of the total income from the above-mentioned three sectors. The average income per capita was RMB 3,850 Yuan.

The average income per capita is slightly lower than it in the first M&E period. The reason is that little land acquisition and house demolition is implemented during the second M&E period, which may not show the full picture of the impact on the affected persons’ economic income resulted from land acquisition and resettlement.

The income structure indicated that the income was mainly from vegetable plantation in the primary sector and the income generated from the agriculture plantation accounted for a small percentage of the total family income. The major income of the affected persons is from non-agricultural employment, especially the salary income of the migrant workers, which accounted for 50% of the total income. Therefore, land acquisition in the subproject only has minor impact on their production and lives.

5.1.4 Living Quality of the Affected Persons

The affected persons live very close to the river. Their houses are old buildings with brick-concrete or brick-wood structure, either stand-alone or two-storied. These buildings are frequently damaged by floods. Generally speaking, their living conditions are poor.

The subproject area is located at the junction of urban and rural areas and the infrastructure is good. Local people have good access to water, electricity, road, post and communication. It’s also convenient for them to see a doctor and for children go to school.

The sample household survey showed that every hundred households had 9 vehicles, 4 tractors, 67 motorcycles, 73 bicycles, 110 TV sets, 16 computers, 53 video players, 57 refrigerators, 67 washing machines, 19 water heaters, 11 sets of high-medium quality furniture and 67 telephone sets. 39 out of every 100 persons have mobile phones.

5.2.1 Living Conditions of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, there were 39 sampling households in Xinhua subproject. Currently the total housing areas of these households were

5361m2，including 2820 m2 brick-concrete structure, accounting for 53% of the total,

2541m2 brick-wood structure, accounting for 47% of the total. The average housing area was 44m2.

Based on the resettlement baseline survey this time, there are 60 sampling households in Xinhua subproject. Currently the total housing areas of these households are

8481m2，including 4710 m2 brick-concrete structure, accounting for 49% of the total,

4311m2 brick-wood structure, accounting for 51% of the total. The average housing area is 43m2,which is almost same with it in the first M&E period.

The affected persons live along Zishui River in a linear shape. Almost all of the houses are old stand-alone or two-storied buildings with brick-concrete or brick-wood structures, which were built in 1980’s or 1990’s. Some of them are really in poor conditions. Residents there hope to improve their living conditions soonest.

5.2.2 Production Conditions and Employment of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, the sampled 39 households had 34.39mu farmland in total including 30.8 mu paddy field, accounting for 89% of the total; 2.59 mu dry land, accounting for 8% of the total; 1.0 mu vegetable land, accounting for 3%. The average farmland holding per agricultural person was 0.32mu.

Based on the resettlement baseline survey this time, the sampled 60 households have 57.77mu farmland in total including 40. 1 mu paddy field, accounting for 85% of the total; 6.1 mu dry land, accounting for 11% of the total; 2.57 mu vegetable land, accounting for 4%. The average farmland holding per agricultural person is 0.35mu.

The subproject is distributed along Zishui River in a linear shape. Most of the affected persons only lost a very small portion of their own lands in addition, the proposed land acquisition mainly cover the drawdown area of Zexi Reservoir, not counted as part of farmers’ own land. Therefore, land acquisition has minor impact on the affected

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project households.

Rice is one of major crops in the subproject area. Paddy fields grow double-cropping rice, some single-cropping rice, soybean, oilseed and vegetables. Dry lands grow corn, other types of grain, soybean, sweet potato, potato, peanut, vegetable and melon fruits etc. local farmers cultivated the drawdown area of Zexi Reservoir according to the local farming practices, crops’ growth cycle and Reservoir operation rules. They plant rice, oilseed, potato and vegetable at certain interval.

In recent years, the secondary and tertiary sectors have developed very fast. The subproject area has the favorable geographic location and its infrastructure is good. The local farmers have more opportunities to be engaged into the non-agricultural activities and a large portion of surplus rural labor forces have been transferred to working in the secondary and tertiary sectors.

Last year, the grain production increased in Xinhua and the grain price increased, which may contribute to improving the farmers’ income.

The income structure indicated that the income from agriculture plantation and animal husbandry almost accounted for 50% of the total income in primary sector respectively. However, the income from the agriculture plantation only had a small share of the total family income. The major income of the affected households was from the non-agricultural activities, especially the salary income from migrant workers. Therefore, land acquisition had minor impact on production and lives and the affected persons.

5.2.4 Living Quality of the Affected Persons

The urban area of Xinhua County lies both sides of Zishui River. The whole city is divided into two parts: Chengxi and Chengdong. The left bank( Chengxi) is the old city area and the right bank( Chengdong) is the new development zone. The subproject area is located in the Meiyuan Development zone of Chengdong. It is distributed along the Zishui River in a linear shape, most of which is low-lying area and frequently flooded. The living conditions there were poor.

Generally speaking, the infrastructures in subproject area are good. Local people have good access to water, electricity, road, post and telecommunication. It’s convenient for them to see a doctor and for children to go to school.

The sample household survey showed that every hundred household had 3 vehicles, 2 tractors, 18 motorcycles, 22 bicycles, 78 TV sets, 5 computers, 25 video players, 20

5.3 Wugang

5.3.1 Living Conditions of the Affected Persons

There are 42 sampling households in Wugang. Currently, the total housing area of these households was 4577m2 including 1101m2 brick-concrete structure, accounting for 24% and 3368m2 brick-wood structure, accounting for 74% and 108m2 wood structure, accounting for 2%. The average housing area per capita was 24m2.

Wugang lies beside Nanshui River, in the upper stream of Zishui River. Nanshui River passes through the city. The topography in the city is flat and spacious. The affected houses were mostly built in 1970’s and 1980’s, the majority of which were stand-alone or two-storied brick-wood structures. Since these houses were built randomly and improperly designed, each of them had limited space and the average housing area per capita was small. In addition, the ventilation and lighting of these houses were poor. Most of them lived in the dark, humid and poor sanitary conditions. Therefore, residents there hope to improve their living standards soonest.

5.3.2 Production Conditions and employment of the Affected Persons

The 42 sampling households have 15.9 mu farmland in total including 9.4 mu paddy field accounting for 59% of the total, 4.8mu paddy field accounting for 30% and 1.7 mu vegetable land accounting for 11%. The average farmland holding of per agricultural person is 0.25 mu.

The subproject is aligned along Zishui River in a linear shape. Most of the affected households only lost a small portion of their land. Therefore, the land acquisition has minor impact on their production and lives.

The agricultural plantation was mainly double-cropping rice, vegetable, water melon and oilseeds. Paddy fields grow double-cropping and some single-cropping rice, wheat, oilseed and vegetable. Dry lands grow corn, other types of grain, green pea, pea, sweet potato, potato, peanut, oilseed, vegetable and melon fruit etc.

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project The subproject area lies at the junction of urban and rural areas and its infrastructure is good. Local farmers have more opportunities to be involved into non-agricultural activities. A large proportion of rural surplus labor forces have been transferred to working in the secondary and tertiary sectors.

5.3.3 Economic Income of the Affected Persons

The total income of these 42 sampling households was RMB 809,300 Yuan last year including RMB 28,280 Yuan from the primary sector accounting for 3% of the total. The income from the secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 781,020 Yuan accounting for 97% of the total. The salary income of migrant workers in secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 234,000 Yuan, accounting for 30% of that from these two sectors and also accounting for 29% of the total from the above-mentioned three sectors. The salary income of non-agricultural population was RMB 273,520 Yuan, accounting for 34% of the total. The average annual net income per capita was RMB 4,248 Yuan.

The income structure indicated that the income generated from the primary sector had a very small proportion of the total family income. Their income mainly relied on non-farming activities. In addition, non-agricultural status population had a larger percentage (66%) and their salary income accounted for 1/3 of the total income. The income earned by migrant workers also accounted for 1/3 of the total income. Therefore, land acquisition had minor impact on their production and lives.

5.3.4 Living Conditions of the Affected Persons

The subproject area is low-lying, spacious and frequently flooded. The living conditions there were poor. Most of houses were built in 1980’s with stone-along or two-storied brick-concrete or brick-wood structures. Very few wooden structured houses existed. The average housing area per capita was quite limited.

The subproject area is located suburban and its infrastructure is good. Local people have good access to water, electricity, road, post and telecommunication. It’s convenient for them to see a doctor and for children to go to school.

The sample household survey showed that every hundred household had 2 vehicles, 43 motorcycles, 50 bicycles, 110 TV sets, 7 computers, 48 video players, 43 refrigerators, 79 washing machines, 7 water heaters, 2 sets of high and medium quality furniture and

5.4 Sangzhi

5.4.1 Living Conditions of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, there were 11 sampling households in Sangzhi Subproject. Currently their total housing area was 686m2 including 100 m2 brick-concrete structure accounting for 15% of the total, 416 m2 brick-wood structure accounting for 60% of the total and 170 m2 wooden structure accounting for 25% of the total. The average housing area per capita was 19 m2.

Based on the resettlement baseline survey this time, there are 22 sampling households in Sangzhi Subproject. Currently their total housing area was 3685 m2 including 3099 m2 brick-concrete structure accounting for 84.1% of the total, 317 m2 brick-wood structure accounting for 8.6% of the total and 269 m2 wooden structure accounting for 7.3% of the total. The average housing area per capita was 46 m2.

The incremental sampled households this time are households living at the suburban areas. Some of them are rich but some of them are very poor. Most of them live in the spacious brick-concrete houses but they are economically poor. More people live in the wooden structures than those in other subprojects.

The city seat of Sangzhi is located on the upper reach of Lishui River. The river gradient there is steep. When floods occur, the water level rises quickly and remains high. The houses were built at the grade I terrace alongside the Lishui and Youshui Rivers. The subproject area is generally low-lying, flat and spacious and most of it was frequently flooded. The houses of those affected persons were mostly built in 1980’s and the average housing area per capita was limited. The majority of these houses are stand-along or two storied old buildings with brick-wood and wood structures. The living conditions and auxiliary facilities were poor. Residents there hope to improve their living standards soonest.

5.4.2 Production Conditions and Employment of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, the 11 sampling households had 6.8 mu farmland in total and all of them grow vegetable. The average farmland holding per

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 40

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project agricultural person was 0.76 mu.

Based on the resettlement baseline survey this time, the 22 sampling households have 8.2 mu farmland in total and all of them grow vegetable. The average farmland holding per agricultural person is 0.55 mu.

The subproject is aligned along the Lishui and Youshui Rivers in a linear shape. Most of the affected households only lost a very small portion of their farmland and houses which are closely adjacent to the dikes.

The affected Liyuan Township will be in the future urban areas according to the county plan. The infrastructure there is quite good. Local farmers have more opportunities to be involved into non-agricultural activities. Most of local surplus labor forces have been transferred to working in the secondary and tertiary sectors. Especially young people went outside of their town and found employment in big cities, such as Guangdong, Wenzhou. They mainly work in the construction, timber processing, shoe-making and electronics sectors.

The agriculture plantation is mainly vegetable and rice.

5.4.3 Economic Income of the Affected Persons

According to the first resettlement baseline survey, the total income of these sampling households was RMB 93,700 Yuan last year including RMB 15,000 Yuan income from the primary sector accounting for 16% of the total. This income was all from vegetable selling. The income from the secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 78,700 Yuan accounting for 84% of the total. The salary income earned by migrant workers in the secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 48,000 Yuan accounting for 61% of the total income from these two sectors and also accounting for 51% of the total. The average annual net income per capita was RMB 2,391Yuan.

Based on the resettlement baseline survey this time, the total income of these sampling households was RMB 337,580Yuan last year including RMB 420,00Yuan income from the primary sector accounting for 12.1% of the total. This income was all from vegetable selling. The income from the secondary and tertiary sectors was RMB 295,580Yuan, which is from the salary income earned by migrant workers in the secondary and tertiary sectors, accounting for 85% of the total. The average annual net income per capita was

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 41

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project RMB 3,750Yuan,which is higher than the net income per capita (RMB 1,575.1Yuan) of rural people in 2007 Year Book of Liyuan Township but lower than RMB 6,500 Yuan of the disposable income per capita of urban people.

The incremental sampled households are urban ones, which is quite different from the sampled households in other subproject areas. However, the income per capita is only RMB 3750 Yuan, which is almost same with it in other subproject areas. Because the Sangzhi county is national key poverty county and the economic development is comparatively backward than other subproject areas.

The income structure indicated that the income sources were simplex in the primary sector and all was from commercial vegetable selling. In addition, the income from the primary sector only accounted for tiny part of the total family income. The family income mainly relied on non-farming employment especially the salary income earned by migrant workers, which accounted for 50% of the total. Therefore, land acquisition had minor impact on their production and lives.

5.4.4 Living Quality of the Affected Persons

The houses of the affected persons were built adjacent to grade I terrace alongside the river. They were old stand-alone or two-storied buildings with brick-wood and wooden structures built in 1980’s but the average housing area was limited. These houses were frequently flooded. Generally speaking, their living conditions were poor.

The subproject area is located in the urban area and its infrastructure is quite good. Local people have good access to water, electricity, road, post and telecommunications. It’s convenient for them to see a doctor and for children to go to school.

The sample household survey showed that every hundred household had 4 motocycles, 8 bicycles, 29 TV sets, 17 refrigerators, 13 washing machines, 1 micro-waver, 8 water heaters, 21 telephone sets. 34 out of 100 persons had mobile phones.

5.5 Youzhou, Leiyang, Huaihua and Chenxi

Due to the bad weather condtions mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, Huaihua and Yongzhou subproject resettlement baseline survey was postponed to the next M&E period. Chenxi and Leiyang subproject didn’t start the external resettlement M&E yet.

However, due to various factors and constraints, the actual resettlement implementation progress is far behind the schedule, such as difficulties in resettlement fund raising, delayed resettlement fund payment, complicate land acquisition approval procedures. So far, none of the subprojects’ resettlement implementation is according to the original schedules and the actual resettlement implementation is slower than the schedule to various degrees. Therefore, the original schedules are no longer relevant and need to be updated

6.1.7 Chenxi and Leiyang

The land acquisition and resettlement didn’t started yet. The external resettlement M&E work didn’t start either.

6.2 Resettlement Policies and Compensation Standards

6.2.1 Loudi

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 44

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project The adopted resettlement and land acquisition policies and compensation standards are consistent with those stipulated in the Loudi Resettlement Plan. However, the affected are not willing to accept the compensation standards in the Resettlement Plan in fact and sign the resettlement and land acquisition agreement. Therefore, the actually applied standards are substantially higher than those in the Plan. The external resettlement-monitoring agency has reviewed the signed land acquisition and resettlement compensation agreements last time and this time, and confirmed some of the actual applied compensation standards. The relevant details refer to Table 6.2.1-1and Table 6.2.1-2. The actual applied compensation standards are land compensation and resettlement subsidies exclusive the tax and fees. The empty cases in the two tables mean that actual compensation standards remain unclear or the external monitor didn’t find out the exact examples.

6.2.2 Xinhua

Some land requested in the Xinhua Subproject had been acquired by the government due to construction of Zexi Reservoir and the relevant affected had been appropriately compensated in the past. However, because most of the affected areas have been farmed by local villagers, compensation as permanent land acquisition will be provided to the affected people. The land acquisition and resettlement policies and standards to be adopted are consistent with those in Xinhua Resettlement Plan in order to guarantee the interests of the affected. During the resettlement implementation, the actual compensation standards are higher than those in the Xinhua Resettlement Plan.

There are two categories of house demolition and relocation: backward relocation and centralized relocation. The backward relocation adopts the compensation standards in the Resettlement Plan.

The centralized relocation will provide higher value of shop front housing plots to the relocated households free of charge. The land value of shopfront is much higher than it of housing plot within the original village group. The house compensation consists of two parts: high-valued land and the actual cash compensation.

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project 1. High-valued Land

The monitor checked the traded land prices in the land trade center of Xinhua County Land Resource Bureau. These lands are located in Meiyuan Development Zone and three plots of them are close to the resettlement sites.

Land price for the housing purpose：2900000/3279＝884.42 元/m2

The land only for the housing purpose can satisfy the Xinhua Resettlement Plan but the land for comprehensive purpose is selected by the Xinhua Government. This kind of land is high-valued and traded freely. its average land price is 500~1000 yuan/ m2 higher than that of the land only for the housing purpose. The lower limit is at least 500 yuan/m2 2. Cash Compensation

Confirmed by the monitor, the cash compensation of the rural house is 220Yuan/ m2for brick-concrete, 180Yuan/ m2 for brick-wood and 100 Yuan/ m2 for sundry house respectively.

3. The Actual Implementing House Compensation Standards

According to “The Resettlement and Land Acquisition Implementing Methods for the Urban Planned Area in Xinhua County”,the eligible affected household is allocated 30m2 land for one person family, 30m2 for two person family. For the households with more than 2 persons, each incremental person is allocated each incremental 10m2 land.

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 47

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project According to Xinhua Resettlement Plan, the housing demolition affects 32 households with 172 persons. The housing areas to be demolished are 5272m2. Taking the average 5 persons per household, the 172 affected persons need at least 2408m2 land with the value of 1.204 million Yuan. The average cost is 228 Yuan for dismantling1m2 house.

Therefore, the actual implementing compensation standard in Xinhua is at least as followed:

Brick-concrete：220+228＝448Yuan/m2；

Brick-wood：180+228＝408Yuan/m2；

Sundry House：100+228＝328Yuan/m2.

The external resettlement monitors have reviewed the signed resettlement and land acquisition agreements kept in the County Land Resources Bureau and talked with the affected persons who had signed the agreements. The planned and actual compensation standards refer to Table 6.2.2-2. The empty cases in the two tables mean that actual compensation standards remain unclear or the external monitor didn’t find out the exact examples.

(1) Land Acquisition Compensation Standards

The resettlement and land acquisition compensation policies and standards to be adopted are consistent with those in the Resettlement Plan. However, the affected are not willing to accept those standards and signed the resettlement and land acquisition agreement during the resettlement implementation. Therefore, the actual compensation standards are higher than the planned in the Resettlement Plan.

(2) House Demolition and Relocation Compensation Standards

There are 4 households relocated in April 2005 and the adopted compensation standards are based on No.〔2004〕27 Document issued by Zhangjiajie Municipal

Government. However, the actual standards are lower than those stipulated in Sangzhi Resettlement Plan. After endorsement of the Resettlement Plan by the local government, house demolition and relocation compensation standards will fully comply with Resettlement Plan.

The external resettlement monitors have reviewed the signed resettlement and land acquisition agreement. The planned and actual compensation standards refer to Table 6.2.4-1 and Table 6.2.4-2. The empty cases in the two tables mean that actual compensation standards remain unclear or the external monitor didn’t find out the exact examples.

The relocation progress refers to Table 6.4.2-2 against the Resettlement Plan.

Xinhua County Government has arranged 4 resettlement sites, namely Nongfeng Relocation Street, Baisha Relocation Site, Tangjialing Relocation site and Laiziling Relocation site. All of them are higher value of shop front houses close to the commercial areas. So far, all relocated households live in these 4 resettlement sites and become urban citizens.

Before the relocated households started to construct their new houses, the ground leveling and service of road, water and electricity had been completed. The new houses will follow the higher building standards and the compensation fund may not cover all the money needed to build the new houses. So the affected persons may have to find alternative sources of funding. There are two ways of construction new houses. For richer relocated households, they will build their new houses themselves. However, for the relocated households with limited financial capacity, they will build their new houses by cooperation with others. The relocated households provide the housing plots and the investors provide the money. The newly built houses will be shared between them according to the signed agreement beforehand. Since these shop fronts have great potential of appreciation, more and more investors are seeking the cooperation

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project opportunities with the relocated households. So far, the external monitor didn’t see any evidence showing that the relocated households are not able to build the new house due to lack of money.

The relocated households with the shop fronts don’t have reallocated farmland. Because the benefits from shop fronts are greater than those from farming, all relocated households are willing to live there.

LPMO responded that the affected individual shops are all in small scale and serve only the local community such as shoe repairing, keys repairing, mat making, tailor, small restaurant and small general merchandises. Moreover, most of them are located in the margin area of the city and frequently flooded. When these shops are appraised by the

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 72

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project asset assessment agency, their commercial value has been taken into account and the additional preferable measurements are provided. It’s also the normal practice of the urban demolition.

The monitor had the sampled surveys on these groups of individual shops and found that they had been compensated for their business disruption. However, they were not satisfied with the relocation sites. They thought they were different from the common residents and they need the good places, namely shopfronts with convenient access so that they could start their business again. Actually they were treated same with the common affected households and no special relocation arrangement was made for them particularly.

The monitor has requested the LPMO to regard these affected individual shops as a standalone category when being compensated. The information relevant to the individual shop’s demolition and relocation should be kept separately. The special relocation method should also be made. The monitor will follow up this matter in the subsequent M&E report.

6.6 Resettlement Site Construction Progress

The monitor noted that the actual resettlement site constructions are quite different from what have designed in the Resettlement Plans. The monitor was told that the resettlement site selection and construction were closely relevant to the affected persons and the governments. They had to have discussions several times so that all parties were happy with the outcomes. The different resettlement sites have the implication of different land values, which is also the focal point of all parties concerned. The infrastructure at the resettlement sites is not the issue because the subprojects are largely located at the suburban areas or urban areas. Table 6.6-1 has a comparison between the actual resettlement site construction and the designed in the Resettlement Plan.

6.7 Resettlement Fund Delivery

So far, the major resettlement fund is used for land and building compensation. Since the types of land and houses are different, the resultant unit price is variable. Therefore, the table below didn’t have a comparative analysis on the unit price but presented a comparison on the planned resettlement fund and the actual spent resettlement fund.

During the 2nd M&E period, the affected persons said almost the same things. All these above-mentioned issues have been communicated with Wugang PMO. The monitor suggested the LMPO hold the public meetings at the affected communities and answered the common questions and concerns from the affected persons.

A. Reply to the Issues and Requirements in the first M&E period. The replies to the issues and requirements raised by the affected persons are summarized as below: (1) Xiong Chaodong of Gaojiaping Residential Committee (relocated already) and others said that it’s not easy to get the certificates for their new houses, such as land Certificate, House Certificate and House Construction Certificate. Reply: these certificates are ready.

(2) Xiang Chucai(relocated already) said that he had bought a new apartment but he

Reply: He can buy another new house in the resettlement site. (3) Wang Songhou, Xiang Zuojun and others hope that the local government can help their children with employment. Reply: the employment can’t be found so far for him. (4) Gu Guilian and others in Gaojiaping Residential committee said that the compensation standards are low. They hope that the special subsidies should provide to the vulnerable groups. Reply: The affected households were double-checked and some of them were provided with living subsidies by the Civil Affairs Bureau. B. The major Issues and Requirement Raised in the 2nd M&E period.

(1) Group 2 and Group 3 in Wenming Road said.” They enjoy the rural cooperative medical care when they are rural people; when they become urban citizens, they couldn’t afford to see the doctor if they don’t join in the urban cooperative medical treatment.” (2) Liu Wenzhi of Group 3 in Wenming Road said, “My houses is flooded every year and can’t live any more”. He requests to relocate as soon as possible. (3) Yuan Zhengzhu of Group 2 in Wenming Road said, “ I heard that the compensation standards are quite low and I prefer to stay but suffer the flooding rather than relocate to another place.” (4) Wang Weibi of Group 2 in Wenming Road said, “ my family has relocated once for the urban development. Now, we have to relocate again for the flood control embankment construction. We have sacrificed too much and we deserve the higher compensation standards.” (5) Xiang Chucai in Gaojiaping Residential Committee said,” the minimum living subsidy is only 50 Yuan/ month in Sangzhi County, which is too low.” (6) Zhang Xinlian in Weicaowan Group said, “ lot of people in the village are poor but not provided with the minimum living subsidy. It’s unfair.” As a whole, the most common concerns in the Sangzhi subproject are compensation standards, medical care and the minimum living subsidy. None of them mentioned the bias of ethnic minorities or ignorance of the minority customs. All these above-mentioned issues have been communicated with Sangzhi PMO. The external

Huaihua and Yongzhou subprojects have not undertaken the resettlement baseline surveys. The external resettlement M&E didn’t start in Leiyang and Chenxi

8. Support of the Vulnerable Groups

According to the Resettlement Plan, the subprojects all have adopted the relevant measures to support the vulnerable groups. These are summarized as followed: Those affected vulnerable group mainly include elderly living alone, women headed households, and extremely poor families. Besides the compensation standards provided by the project, the project would provide additional financial or physical assistance so that their rehabilitation and restoration of income and livelihood could be achieved as soon as possible. (1) The project will provide special allowance for the families under the poverty line to help them construct houses and maintain their original living level at least. The concrete measures are too provide the subsidy worth of RMB 3000 yuan/household and the subsistence subsidy of RMB 600 yuan/person to help them overcome the difficulties during the demolition. (2) After implementation of the project, the affected households could apply for loan from Rural Credit Cooperative, and local village collectivities could provide guarantees for such application. (3) During the course of implementation of the project, the village committee will help those vulnerable families including elderly living alone, disabled, and women headed households with selecting new housing site, rebuilding new houses, and transferring to new houses construction. The monitor noted that the each subproject government had the mature urban (rural) minimum living standards system. The easy way to define the vulnerable groups is to identify whether the household income is below the urban (rural) minimum living

If so, the Civil Affairs Bureau will include these households into the urban (rural) minimum living subsidy and send them the subsidy monthly. The actually supported and the identified vulnerable groups in the Resettlement Plans are shown in Table 8-1 Table 8-1 Comparison of the Actually Supported and the Identified Vulnerable Groups in the Resettlement Plans

9. Public Participation, Consultation and Information Disclosure

It’s very important to get support from the affected persons to ensure the resettlement implementation smoothly. During the process of resettlement, public participation, consultation and information disclosure are crucial. The common ways of public participation, consultation and information disclosure included: (1) Public Media. In each Subproject County or City, the subproject is the key project, which has been widely reported on the TV and new paper. The publics are aware of the subproject implementation progress. (2) Resettlement Information Booklet. Before the implementation of resettlement and land acquisition, the resettlement booklets are distributed among the affected

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project households, detailing the project, resettlement and land acquisition compensation policies and standards and the entitlement of the affected persons. (3) Public Hearing Meeting. Before the resettlement implementation, the resettlement management organizations of each subproject have several meeting with the affected persons to listen to their ideas and discuss about the resettlement sites and relocation approaches. (4) Village (group) Consultation. The village (group) leaders hold meetings with the affected households informing of the resettlement policies and the entitlements and also discussing the relocation site selection. These meetings normally hold just before the implementing the land acquisition and resettlement. (5) The Poster putting up. During the resettlement implementation, the resettlement management organizations will put up the posters, set up the bulletin board at the fixed public places and hold the group discussion in each subproject area to inform the affected persons of land acquisition, house demolition, compensation standards and resettlement site construction. (6) Public Notices of Compensation Standards and Physical Indices. The confirmation of physical indices will be published openly before the affected persons sign the agreement so that they are satisfied with them.

10. The existing Main Problems and Recommendation

(1) The Slower Resettlement Implementation

Due to various factors and constraints, the resettlement and land acquisition implementation progress of each subproject is slower than the schedule to various degrees. In some subprojects, the resettlement and land acquisition have severely hindered the civil work construction. The factors affecting the resettlement implementation are:

Firstly it is insufficient resettlement fund. The resettlement fund is invested by the local government and isn’t from ADB loan. However, the investment is large and in urgent demand. Therefore, it increases difficulties of the local government to raise such a large amount of fund for resettlement and land acquisition.

Secondly some affected persons have extra high expectations. For instance, some of them ask for several times of higher compensation standards than those stipulated in the Resettlement Plan or the acting standards. This disparity has caused difficulties in agreement negotiation and consequently the resettlement implementation is slow.

Thirdly, some PMOs and local governments didn’t pay much attention to the resettlement. They think that the resettlement fund is the only issue to be considered. However, almost all of the subprojects will affect the suburban areas. People living there include mostly unemployed urban citizens and rural residents with little land or without any land. Most of them make a living by daily labor and small business. They don’t have the regular income and their living standards are low. Therefore, these groups of people attached great importance on their income sources after relocation. They are worried that they even couldn’t maintain the current living standards because they lack of skills to make a living. That’s why they constantly raise the requirement of increasing the compensation standards or finding the employment for their children. If their requirement is not satisfied, they will refuse to relocate and subsequently affect the resettlement and land acquisition implementation. Since the resettlement and land acquisition implementation is the major constraint of the civil works construction, ADB has paid much attention to it. The external

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 93

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project resettlement-monitoring agency recommended that the local governments and their relevant departments should take the appropriate measures to facilitate the resettlement and land acquisition implementation. Especially more effort should be made to raise enough resettlement funds, further explain the resettlement policies and compensation standards and speed up the construction of resettlement sites. All of them will ensure that the resettlement and land acquisition implementation matches with the civil works construction.

(2) Strengthening the Information Management

The local governments have put high priority on the subprojects and many government departments are involved into the subproject management. For instance, water resource bureaus are responsible for engineering aspects; financial bureaus are responsible for fund allocation; land resources bureaus and affected town/township governments are responsible for land acquisition and resettlement; audit bureaus are responsible for financial auditing. Such management mechanism makes the data relevant to land acquisition and resettlement to scatter within these bureaus. There is no systematic data management mechanism. The data collection, collation and consolidation at each subproject are slower than the actual resettlement and land acquisition progress. Therefore it’s difficult to know resettlement and land acquisition progress fully and genuinely. Without support of good information, it’s also hard for the relevant departments to make the right decisions.

The resettlement and land acquisition relate to every aspect of the society. They have complicate procedures with multi-department involvement. Such characteristics make the information flow huge, which is not easy to manage and keep records. Therefore, the information network construction should be strengthened via computer technology and internet. The technologies can help with the data collection and collation more effectively. With support of good information and information management system, it will be very easy for the relevant departments to make the right decisions.

The external resettlement monitoring agency recommended that the information management system should be set up at the early stage of the subproject implementation. More importantly, the qualified full-time IT personnel should be equipped to have data collection, collation and entry of database to ensure that the information management is synchronous with the resettlement implementation so that

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 94

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project the relevant people could understand the resettlement and land acquisition implementation fully and genuinely.

This issue was raised in the 1st M&E period but wasn’t seen any good sign in the 2nd M&E period.

(3) More Efforts on Resettlement Fund Raising

The resettlement fund is invested by the local government and isn’t from ADB loan. Sources of the resettlement fund include borrowings from Agriculture Development Bank and flood security funds. Currently the fund-raising is not as good as expected. The resettlement and land acquisition implementation at each subproject will be at the peak in the year of 2007 and 2008, which will have high demand of resettlement fund by then. Therefore, the external resettlement monitoring agency recommended that more efforts should be made to ensure the sufficient resettlement fund. Otherwise, the insufficient resettlement fund will hinder the resettlement and land acquisition implementation.

(4) Strengthening the Project Management

ADB has higher resettlement management requirement on its financed project. However, since the project is the first ADB-financed one, many resettlement management organizations at different levels lack sufficient resettlement experience. Therefore, the external resettlement monitoring agency recommended that the relevant experience should be summarized and lessons should be drawn from the past so as to regulate and guide the resettlement and land acquisition implementation in the future. In addition, relevant management regulations should be made, such as regular meeting regulation, coordinated meeting regulation, significant case reporting regulation, resettlement implementation reporting regulation, statistics reporting regulation and performance regulation.

This issue was mentioned in the first M&E period. The monitor noted that the resettlement management organizations had made some efforts. However, the results were not as good as expected due to lack of experience and shortage of full-time staffs.

(5) Slow Land Approval Process

The land acquisition approval process is to be involved into so many government agencies and it takes time to complete it. In some subprojects, the land was acquired

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project before the paperwork of the land acquisition approval was completed. This is not in compliance with the legitimate procedures. It also may delay the land acquisition progress. Therefore, this work should be expedited.

(6) Relocation of the Individual Shops

Resettlement Plans said,” the individual shops that operate the business in houseowners’ own houses will be relocated to the new shopfronts after the consultation with them at the crowded crossing area or both sides of major traffic roads to avoid the customer reduction and maintain the original operation.”

The individual shops in the subprojects were compensated for their business suspension, which the shop owners were satisfied with. However, there are no universal relocation approaches for the affected individual shops in all subprojects. Their relocation approaches were the same with the common affected households. The monitor noted that the individual shop owners had different requirements that their relocation approaches should be different from that for the common affected households. They should be relocated at the shopfronts with high commercial value and easy access to traffic. However, such shop fronts were often limited and have to decide their ownership by tossing the coin. If the shop owners were satisfied with the new shopfronts, the other common affected households were also unsatisfied with it.

The monitor explored some of reasons. To operate the small shops need little expertise and one shopfront is enough. Those shops have been compensated better than the houses. If new shops are provided, the other households affected by the house demolition may feel unhappy with it. It’s also difficult to provide the new shops for all the affected individuals.

All LMPOs are making efforts to solve this issue and hope to find a good solution which make all parties concerned happy.

11. Conclusions and Recommendations

11.1 Conclusions The 8 core subprojects of Hunan Flood Management Sector Project are under the implementation. So far, Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang , Sangzhi, Huaihua and Yongzhou have concluded the resettlement M&E contracts with the external monitor..

The subproject PMOs and local governments have put high priority on the resettlement and land acquisition and all of them have established or strengthened the resettlement implementation agencies equipped with qualified staffs. Currently, they have made great efforts in resettlement promotion and awareness campaigns, physical indices confirmation, land acquisition and resettlement, resettlement fund raising and delivery. All these have made a good starting point. For each subproject, the resettlement and land acquisition implementation varies.

(1) Loudi

Currently the accumulative completed land acquisition is 504.815mu, accounting for 31.76% of the total land acquisition in Resettlement Plan. The acquired land has completed the approval procedures and the relevant compensation fund had been delivered. The accumulative completed house demolition areas are 1382.52m2, accounting for 4.5% of the total house demolition areas in the Resettlement Plan. There are 8 relocated households with 21 persons. The land acquisition of the resettlement is under the way.

The external resettlement monitoring agency has reviewed the signed land acquisition and resettlement agreements and found that the actual land acquisition and resettlement compensation standards are substantively higher than those in the Resettlement Plan. The Subproject PMOs said the affected persons had required higher compensation standards. If they were compensated according to the standards in Resettlement Plan, it’s very hard to reach agreements with the affected persons.

The resettlement investment completed accounted for 32.98% of the total resettlement

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 97

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project cost. The resettlement fund raising is not as good as expected. The completed or on-going embankment construction starts at areas with few house demolition and resettlement, so the resettlement fund delivered is only small amount. However, more resettlement fund will be needed with the more civil works construction. If this situation remains unchanged, it will hinder the subsequent civil works implementation.

The most concerned issues in Loudi subproject are compensation prices of land acquisition and resettlement, traffic conditions of housing plots, employment opportunities and rehabilitation measures etc. Generally speaking, most of the affected persons support the subproject construction and its associated land acquisition and resettlement. However, the subproject is at the early stage of implementation and the resettlement and land acquisition just initiated. Some affected persons have limited understanding of the resettlement policies and they are suspicious of the compensation standards. Their expectations on the compensation are much higher than those standards in the Resettlement Plan. In addition, their reluctant cooperation has affected the resettlement and land acquisition implementation to various degrees.

(2) Xinhua

Currently the accumulative completed land acquisition is 205.112mu, accounting for 43.33% of the total in the Resettlement Plan. The acquired land has completed the land pre-appraisal procedures and the land approval procedures are under the way. The relevant compensation fund has been delivered already. The accumulative completed house demolition areas are 1955.937m2, accounting for 37.1% of the total in the Resettlement Plan. The relocation of enterprises and institutions didn’t start yet. The external resettlement monitoring agency has reviewed the signed land acquisition and resettlement agreements and found that the actual land acquisition compensation standards are substantively higher than those in the Resettlement Plan..

Besides the relocation approaches in the Resettlement Plan, the local government has provided the alternatives. The affected person can choose to relocate in the 4 concentrated resettlement sites which had been developed for all the affected persons resulting from the urban constructions. The compensation consists of two parts: high-valued land and the cash compensation. Compared with the relocation approaches in the Resettlement Plan, the affected persons prefer this option. The relocated 8 households have all chosen to live in the concentrated resettlement sites. Currently, 3

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 98

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project out of 4 resettlement sites are close to completion and the other one has completed.

The resettlement investment completed accounted for 33.78% of the total resettlement cost. The resettlement fund raising is not as good as expected, which may hinder the subsequent civil works implementation.

The common concerns of the affected persons are having shop front houses and providing the special subsidies for the vulnerable groups etc. however, most of the affected persons support the subproject construction and its associated land acquisition and resettlement. They would like to relocate in the concentrated resettlement sites.

(3) Wugang

Currently the accumulative completed land acquisition is 24.95mu, accounting for 11.43% of the total. The acquired land has completed land pre-appraisal procedures. The house demolition and relocation of enterprises and institutions didn’t start yet. The resettlement sites are under the design.

The acquired land belongs to the state. Therefore, it’s hard to check the actual compensation standards of resettlement and land acquisition.

Checked the singed agreements by the monitor, the actual implementing compensation standards are higher or same with those stipulated in Resettlement Plan.

The subproject is at the initial stage of implementation and the required resettlement fund will be ready for delivery.

The common concerns are the low compensation standards, limited financial capacity of constructing new houses and future income sources etc. Generally speaking, most of the affected persons support the subproject construction and its associated land acquisition and resettlement. However, the subproject is at the early stage of implementation and the resettlement and land acquisition just initiated. Some affected persons have limited understanding of the resettlement policies and they are suspicious of the compensation standards. These showed that the public participation, consultation and information disclosure should be strengthened in Wugang Subproject to win more support from the affected persons during the short-terms.

(4) Sangzhi

Currently the accumulative completed land acquisition is 110.31mu, accounting for

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 99

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project 65.93% of the total. The acquired land has completed the land approval procedures and the relevant compensation has been delivered. The accumulative completed house demolition areas are 1239.19m2, accounting for 7.35% of the total in the Resettlement Plan. Only one enterprise has been relocated, accounting for 13%. The resettlement site construction has completed.

The external resettlement monitoring agency has reviewed the signed land acquisition and resettlement agreements and found that the actual land acquisition compensation standards are substantively higher than those in the Resettlement Plan. However, the actual house compensation standards are lower with those in the Resettlement Plan because the house demolition and relocation happened earlier than the timing when Sangzhi Resettlement Plan was prepared. The adopted compensation standards were based on the Document (Reference No: [2004]27) issued by Zhangjiajie Municipal Government Administrative Office. The subsequent land acquisition and resettlement will follow the compensation standards stipulated in the Resettlement Plan.

The resettlement investment completed accounted for 24.65% of the total resettlement cost. The resettlement fund raising is not as good as expected. The completed or on-going embankment construction starts at Gaojiaping protection circle with few house demolition and resettlement, so the resettlement fund delivered is only small amount. However, more resettlement fund will be needed with the more civil works construction. If this situation remains unchanged, it will hinder the subsequent civil works implementation.

The most common concerns in the Sangzhi subproject are long and time-consuming procedures of applying the certificates, adaptation of new lives in the high buildings rather than tiled one-story house, expectation of high compensation standards and employment for children etc. Generally speaking, most of the affected persons support the subproject construction and its associated land acquisition and resettlement. However, the subproject is at the early stage of implementation and the resettlement and land acquisition just initiated. Some affected persons have limited understanding of the resettlement policies and they are suspicious of the compensation standards. They also complained about the insufficient support from local government.

(5) Huaihua

Currently the accumulative completed land acquisition is 343.525mu, accounting for

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 100

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project 81.35% of the total. The acquired land has completed the land approval procedures and the relevant compensation has been delivered. The accumulative completed house demolition areas are 3759.25m2, accounting for 15.51% of the total in the Resettlement Plan. There are 89 households with 101 persons relocated. Three enterprises have been relocated, accounting for 13%. The land acquisition of the resettlement sites is under the way.

Checked the singed agreements by the monitor, the actual implementing compensation standards are substantively higher than those stipulated in Resettlement Plan. It’s hard to adopt the standards in the Resettlement Plan according to LPMO.

The resettlement investment completed accounted for 32.98% of the total resettlement cost. The resettlement fund raising is not as good as expected. The completed or on-going embankment construction starts at the sections with few house demolition and resettlement, so the resettlement fund delivered is only small amount. However, more resettlement fund will be needed with the more civil works construction. If this situation remains unchanged, it will hinder the subsequent civil works implementation.

(6) Yongzhou

Currently the accumulative completed land acquisition is 367.274 mu, accounting for 40.71% of the total. The acquired land has completed the land approval procedures and the relevant compensation has been delivered. The accumulative completed house demolition areas are 8558.8m2, accounting for 21% of the total in the Resettlement Plan. There are 27 households with 303 persons relocated. Five enterprises and institutions have been relocated, accounting for 16%. The land acquisition of the resettlement sites is under the way.

Checked the singed agreements by the monitor, the actual implementing compensation standards are substantively higher than those stipulated in Resettlement Plan. It’s hard to adopt the standards in the Resettlement Plan according to LPMO.

The resettlement investment completed accounted for 25.19% of the total resettlement cost. The resettlement fund raising is not as good as expected. The completed or on-going embankment construction starts at the sections with few house demolition and resettlement, so the resettlement fund delivered is only small amount. However, more resettlement fund will be needed with the more civil works construction. If this situation

Changsha Xinhuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co., 101

The External Monitoring and Evaluation Report of ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project remains unchanged, it will hinder the subsequent civil works implementation.

(7) Leiyang and Chenxi

The external resettlement M&E didn’t start yet in Leiyang and Chenxi subprojects.

11.2 Conclusions

The resettlement management regulations should be made and improved. The resettlement implementation schedule should be updated regularly. Effective measures should be taken to promote the resettlement polices. More efforts should be made to increase the transparency of resettlement. sufficient resettlement fund should be raised in a timely manner. The house demolition and construction of resettlement sites should be accelerated. More efforts should be made to improve the rehabilitation measures to ensure that the affected person can resume their normal production and lives. Inter-agency cooperation should be strengthened. The information management should be improved including data collection, collation and management. High priorities should be paid on complaints of the affected persons and effective measures should be taken to solve them. More efforts should be made to communicate with affected persons thoroughly and effectively to eliminate the distrust and worries of the affected persons so as to win their more support for the subproject.
