7 Executive Summary

A. Background and Impacts Assessment

1. The Project includes construction of 24 deep wells, 24 water pump rooms and 1 second class pump room, 2 tank reservoirs of 2,700 m3, a water quality examining and measuring center, an office building and staff dormitory, 59.06 km of water-distributing pipeline network, and 13.06 km of connecting and water-carrying pipeline network.

2. Qingfeng Water Supply Project permanent land acquisition is 48 mu, including 30 mu (within Wuyanjing Village of Liuge Town) for the plant and 18 mu for wells and roads. Temporary land use is 812 mu, of which 688 mu irrigated land is for works associated with water source, 15 mu irrigated land for construction of the plant and 28 mu irrigated land and 81 mu (54,000m2) urban roads for construction of water-distribution pipeline network. Villages including Wuyanjing, Luojia, Bianjia and Xizhaodian within Liuge Town and villages including Meizhuang, Haozhuang, Zhifang, Zhangerzhuang and Niezhuang within Zhifang Town will be partially affected. There are 16,514 persons from 3,949 households in the project area, who will benefit from the project. The land acquisition for the Project permanently affected 39 households with 171 persons. Due to the decision taken to readjust the farmland within the village group, the Project also indirectly affected another 31 households with 92 persons of Wuyanjng Village.

B. Reasons for change of Plant site

3. The water source for the Plant was originally surveyed during preliminary design. According to the detailed survey, the water source should be shifted 3.5 km south-eastern of Qingfeng County and the numbers of wells is still 24. Through analysis of technical and economic comparison, the Plant site should be transferred from the Qingfeng County Station to the eastern part of Renmin Road. The new plant site is close to the water source, which results in less electricity consumption for water acquisition and less investment in water-distributing works due to less duplication of the works. The new scheme will also enlarge the service area and enhance the safety and reliability of water supply. Furthermore, the new site has easy access to roads and telecommunications which facilitates the implementation of construction. All the 30 mu land acquired for the new site is irrigation land without house demolition or resettlement.

C. Policy Framework and Entitlements

4. The resettlement principles of the Project are based on the land acquisition law and regulations of PRC and ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy. And that for compensation, resettlement and income rehabilitation permits differences between villages and communities of cities, which exists in kind and cash compensation and selection of income rehabilitation between community-based and private organizations. The key point is to ensure that all the APs get sufficient compensation and assistance of income rehabilitation after demolition. The main purpose of RP is to rehabilitate APs’ income and living standard minimizing the damage on their own economic and social environment. Special attention has been given to meet the need of the affected underprivileged and vulnerable groups. Due to the principle and qualification of compensation entitlement, an entitlement matrix has been formulated to instruct payment of compensation and implementation of RP, and the matrix covers all varieties of loss including loss and rehabilitation cost of land, temporary/permanent income sources.

D. Rehabilitation and Income Restoration

8 5 All affected persons will be compensated as set out in the project entitlement matrix in this RP. During Project implementation, efforts will be made to further minimize the land acquisition and resettlement impacts.

6. The income restoration and rehabilitation measures has been drafted in this RP according to the local economic situation and the purpose of them is to guarantee the living standards and livelihood of the affected persons equal or better than the ones before the project. These income restoration and rehabilitation measures have been developed in consultation with all affected persons and they have reflected the most practical ways for the easy implementation during the project.

E. Institutional Arrangements

7. Qingfeng WSP Resettlement Leading Group is comprised of Qingfeng County Government, finance bureau; government office, planning office, Construction Commitment, Environment Bureau and Water Affair Group, and etc. There is sub-office set in finance bureau belong to leader team; this office is responsible for enhancing leadership of the project, formulating resettlement policy and coordinating the organizations. It is the responsibility of government to manage the project, make decision on important matters, and coordinate the organizations to direct the project; make project progress favoring. The office is responsible for making contact with project offices of province and city as well as ADB, and arranging project works, and compiling the schedule of project.

F. Public Consultation and Disclosure

8. Public participation is a key point in the Project. Within the project area there have been numerous consultation meetings. The officials from the county government, township government, village committees (including officials from land and resources administration bureau, civil administrative bureau, and women’s federation), the affected persons and consultants attended the meetings. These meetings and survey outcomes have had remarkable influences upon policies and compensation entitlement in the resettlement plan, particularly in formation of compensation rate, cash compensation and formation of income rehabilitation based on livelihood/training program. Although several public consultations have been made, the Project executors still bear in their mind the need of extra consultation meetings during the land acquisition and construction. Main activities include: (i) distribution of the Resettlement Information Brochure in Chinese version, including description of policy, compensation entitlements, compensation rate and amount, appeal procedure and resettlement/land acquisition plan; (ii) holding formal villager meetings to decide the allocation of compensation; and (iii) carefully making an on-the-spot measurement, and reaching consensus with the affected families/enterprises in land, property and other final necessities for acquisition and resettlement.

G. Complaints and Grievances

9 Appeal procedure was set up to solve the disputes in compensation and the resettlement interest on the purpose of responding to the affected persons’ grievances timely and transparently. The affected persons are entitled to file the grievances against any dissatisfaction in land acquisition and rehabilitation, including the amount of compensation paid to them. In the Resettlement Information Brochure, detailed procedures for acceptance and processing of grievance will be issued, and these procedures will also be interpreted to the affected persons at the public meeting held by the IA or the district land acquisition and resettlement offices prior to the land acquisition and resettlement.

H. Monitoring and Reporting

10. Implementation of the resettlement plan will be monitored internally and externally. The implementation agency has assumed responsibilities for the internal monitoring. County land acquisition and resettlement offices will be staffed with the independent supervisors. Qingfeng Water Supply Company will compile the quarterly report to submit to ADB, with contents cover the implementing progress of resettlement plan, emphasizing whether it conforms to the principle set forth in the Resettlement Plan and requirements in the compensation entitlements matrix. The EA has engaged an independent monitoring organization to make external monitoring together with the ADB, prepare evaluation report on the resettlement progress after commencement of construction, specifying the distribution of the compensation, and other measures to maintain or improve the affected persons’ social and economic living conditions against the “non-project” conditions.

I. Cost Estimate of Resettlement

11. According to the project feasibility study report and resettlement survey, the resettlement costs are estimated to be CNY4.84 million, including 15% contingency cost. The budget can be adjusted based on the actual measurement of physical losses during the project implementation. The EA has ensured adequate funding for resettlement implementation and will provide budgets as necessary to meet eventual shortfall that emerges in achieving the resettlement objectives.

3. Project Impacts

3.1. Types of loss Caused by Land Acquisition

30. According to the FSR and field survey for the project, the types of losses caused by land acquisition and resettlement are shown as follows:

• Permanent arable land acquisition; • Temporary land use; • Infrastructure demolition; • Ground attachments (tombs); • Loss of other productive assets (standing crops).

3.2. Measures to Minimize Land Acquisition

3.2.1. Measures to reduce land acquisition during project design Phase

31. In the beginning, there was the comparison of the scheme on choosing the location of the Plant.

32. Scheme 1: The plant is located at the eastern part of Renmin Road at the southeast of

15 the County; the plant occupies 30 mu, with 15 mu temporarily occupied land, all of which are irrigated land within Liuge Village. There shall be no house demolition.

33. Scheme 2: The plant is situated at the southeast suburb of the county seat and at the crossing of Wenhua Road and Fengming Road; the permanent land acquisition of the plant is 30mu and temporary land is 10 mu, which belongs to the Government.

34. After comparing, we find the second scheme involves no demolition but is far from the water source which shall result in more investment in water-carrying pipeline works. So Scheme 1 is selected.

35. The water source of Qingfeng Water Supply Project is about 10 km2 area among Loujia Village, Bianjia Village, Xizhaodian Village and Zhifang Village within Liuge town. The above mentioned villages shall be affected to different extent. The wells are of east-west linear layout, with 500 to 600 meter distance between. There shall be altogether 24 wells, the wells and access paths permanently occupy 18 mu land and the construction of the wells and water conveyance pipeline requires 688 mu land temporarily. The existing paths in the farmland shall be used where possible for water-carrying, water-distributing pipes and power supply. The dimensions and lengths of the pipes shall be calculated scientifically to minimize the land acquired. The water-taking layer shall be reasonably decided to mitigate the influence to agricultural water consumption.

36. The trunk water-distributing pipelines are laid along No. 106 National Highway and Renmin Road. The design complies with the county planning. The pipes are laid along streets and pedestrian sidewalks without demolition of houses or shops.

3.2.2. Measures to Minimize Land Acquisition and Resettlement in Construction Stage

37. During the construction period, the water source well and the construction of pipelines will have more impact. Because the wells are broadly located, it cannot repeatedly utilize the land occupied, so the temporary occupied land is relatively more. During construction the scheme and the sequence of construction shall be confirmed according to terrain of water source and road distributing situation, combined with the practical demand of the project itself. The scheme of material transportation and laying and scrap disposing shall be carefully decided to improve the utilization of the existing road and the temporarily occupied land. This will help to control the area of temporary occupied lands as small as possible and try to keep away from the ground facilities in the farmland.

38. Before the construction of pipeline network, communications shall be carried out with the city planning bureau, natural gas company, water supply bureau and telecom communication company concerning detailed information about the direction, depth, location, the scheme of protection and emergency measures, and mitigation measures to minimize the project impacts. It was expected that the construction of the pipeline network will cause minor and very short-term disruption in the affected areas.

3.3. Project Impacts

3.3.1. Survey Methods

39 According to ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and combined with the relevant

16 domestic laws and regulations, a baseline survey is to be conducted for inventory indicator survey about the influence of the land acquisition and relocation. The surveys included three kinds: land acquisition survey, census and socioeconomic survey. During land acquisition survey, with the help of the Qingfeng County Land and Resources Bureau, the degree of land loss and the affected graves, wells and compensation standard are determined. At the same time, we do survey about the underground facilities in the urban area with the construction bureau, power supply bureau, Telecom Communication Company to confirm the sections and length of streets which are affected by the pipeline construction. When doing the census, with the help of Zhifang Township Government, Liuge Township Government and Qingfeng County Government, we confirm the number of the affected households and the vulnerable groups, and while doing the socioeconomic survey, the income of affected persons is evaluated by sampling, and study out the rehabilitation and compensation plans.

3.3.2. Summary of Project Impacts

40. In the project affected area, there are 18,072 mu arable land in the 9 villages. Qingfeng water supply project acquires 48 mu permanently and 812 mu temporarily, the details are shown in Table 3.1 below.

(i) Permanent land acquisition

41. Qingfeng water supply project needs 48 mu land permanently, in which (a) the plant occupies 30 mu collective owned arable land, with 83 persons in 18 households affected; and (b) the road access to the plant and the wells occupy 18 mu collective owned arable land, mainly for the pumps and access paths for maintenance and operation, with 87 persons in 21 households affected. The access paths occupy more land but are more flexible by utilizing the existing path in the farmland. The wells are scattered in the 9 villages. The total permanent land acquisition accounts for only 0.27% of the total arable land, with little influence to Liuge and Zhifang Towns. The specifics can be seen in Table 3.2.

ii) Temporary land use

42. Qingfeng water supply project occupies 812 mu land temporarily, including 731 mu irrigated land. The water source occupies 688 mu, the construction of water supply plant occupies 15 mu, the construction of pipeline network occupies 28 mu and 81 mu (54,000m2) urban road. Apart from the 9 villages in Liuge and Zhifang Towns, another 4 villages in Chengguan Town shall be affected by the temporary land occupation. It is estimated that about

18 400 persons shall be temporarily affected. After construction of this project, the temporary land will be recovered by the affected farmers, the cost of is included in the compensation (see Table 4-5).

43. The temporary acquired land for water source is scattered broadly which results in less repeatedly utilization of the land acquired. Materials transportation and wells construction need more occupation of temporary land. Measures shall be taken to increase the repeated use of the land acquired and minimize the area of land acquisition. The temporary used land accounts for about 4.5% of the total arable land of the affected villages.

44. The land temporarily used for the construction of water plant is 15 mu irrigated land. iii) House Demolition

45. All the land expropriated in this project is farmland, without any house or facility demolition. iv) Infrastructure/Ground attachments

47. On the land permanently expropriated by the Project, the facilities shown in Table 3.3 have been identified. Table 3.3: Types and Quantities of Infrastructure and Ground Attachments

Items wells (ea.) tombs (ea.) Nos. 4 10

3.3.3. Cultural Relics and Vulnerable Groups

48. The project has no impact on cultural relics; and no vulnerable groups are affected.

3.4. Project Impact Analysis

1) The Scope of the Water Source Impact

49. The water source is located in the farmland within 10 km2 in the southeast of county seat, and wells and bypath will permanently occupy 18 mu land. Because of the scattered distribution of wells, the loss to the affected people is small, and land acquisition will not bring too much impact on their living. There will be no impact on infrastructure or ground attachment. The land temporarily used is 88mu, which affects Wuyanjing, Luojia, Bianjia, Xizhaodian, Meizhuang, Haozhuang, Zhifang, Zhangerzhuang and Niezhuang villages. But these are occupied for not too long, and after completion of the project it will be reused by reclamation. For both permanent land acquisition and temporary land use, the affected persons will be compensated, which they can use for the development of individual economy, so that they can live a better life. At the same time, they can take part in the livelihood training program, from which they can get the skills they want, and some can gain employment in the project construction.

2) The Scope of Water Supply Plant Impact

50. The plant needs to expropriate 30 mu irrigated land permanently and 15mu irrigated land temporarily without any house or other facility demolition. Land shall be readjusted after land acquisition to compensate land for the affected people. The analysis of specific impacts is shown

19 the above table 3.2.

3) Impacts of the water source and pipeline networks

51. The construction of wells and pumping stations will occupy 88 mu irrigated land within the 9 villages in Liuge and Zhifang Towns. The 13.06 km connecting and water-carrying pipeline network shall occupy 600 mu irrigated land temporarily within the 9 villages in Liuge and Zhifang Towns. The project will build 59.06 km water distribution pipeline, involving a total of 109 mu temporary land use including 28 mu irrigated land and 81 (54,000m2) urban road. All the distribution pipelines shall be laid along the roads and streets in the urban area, without any house demolition. (see Table 3-1)

4. Legal and Policy Framework

52. Legal and policy framework for this project has two sets of sources: PRC’s laws and regulations and policy requirements of ADB. This chapter is aimed to describe demolition and resettlement policies and strategy concerning land acquisition and compensation.

4.1. Legal framework - State/ Local Law and Regulations

4.1.1. Legal framework

53. Compensation to the affected people and land and resettlement adheres to the Land Administrative Law initiated in 1999, involving land access and ownership, land use and protection and compensation, resettlement subsidy and proper resettlement measures to the affected people. According to the Land Administrative Law (Article 8), rural land belongs to the state land, rural and suburb land is owned collectively by village (residential land, arable land and mountain regions). Such collective and its members (majority of two thirds) have the right to determine whether reallocate or rearrange the arable land (Article 31). Furthermore (Article 47) it elaborates when land acquisition is necessary, compensation shall be made as per the original land purpose containing land compensation, resettlement subsidy, compensation for land attachment and standing crops.

54. Arable land compensation shall be multiple of average annual output of 3 years preceding such acquisition (based on local standard as prescribed by law). Alike, the resettlement subsidy for each agricultural population to be settled shall be calculated based on multiple of the average annual output of 3 years preceding the land acquisition. Compensation for standing crops shall be calculated as per one season output. Compensation method and standard for the attachments will be carried out pursuant to prescription of Provincial People’s Government. Augmenting attachments will not be compensated at the date of announcement release for land acquisition. Article 48 and 49 demand consultation to the compensation standard and the compensation is appropriated to collective owned. All the compensations will be paid to the land owners including agency or collective organization.

55. Arable land occupancy tax will be calculated according to actual land area tax payers occupied which will be collected at once based on the specified amounts.

56. With regards to the specific implementation principle, compensation eligibility, deadline, procedures of information publicity, resettlement plans and monitoring have been specified. During urban building demolition, specialized state policy and local regulations will be in charge of the management, demolition, compensation and resettlement. The laws and regulations used

20 for the project are shown as follows:

(Including demolish of circuits);

(vii) Puyang Municipal Government’s Announcement of the Compensation Standard for Ground Attachment in the Land Expropriated for National Construction（2003）

91. The compensation standard of grain land.

Table 4.1: Standard of the Compensation for the Grain Unit: CNY/mu grade The standard for classification AAOV

Excellent quality, very good irrigation、very flat plot、very First grade 1300 fertile

Second grade good quality,、good irrigation、flat plot、fertile land 1105

generic quality, have the irrigation 、flat plot, generic fertile Third grade 940 land

In bad quality, with no irrigation facilities, with undulate plot, Fourth grade 800 with low fertilizer

92. The compensation for the acquisition land is accounted according to the value of the green seeding in one season, the time is from the beginning of the land acquisition. In the summer the compensation is account as 60% of the annual value. In autumn, it is account as 40% of the annual value. It is regulated that from June 10th to September 30th is autumn, and October 1st to the next year’s June 10th is summer.

93. The green seeding compensation standard for economic crops refers to the green seeding compensation standard for the temporary acquisition land.

94. From the beginning of land acquisition to the land acquisition document make known to lower levels or over the season from the beginning of transfer, if there is no start of work to occupy land, but only check the amount of the attachment over ground, acquisition land by negotiation, the compensation is not carried out as the transfer season, but during the implementation of acquisition, the demolish on green seeding because of measure,

26 reconnaissance should be compensated according to the fact. When implementing land acquisition, the land management department should consider the period of construction, if it needs long period and over season, the farmer should be notified in time, to avoid the unnecessary loss cause by miss cultivate.

(viii) Announcement of Puyang People’s Government on adjusting compensation standard of ground attachments for National Construction

95. The compensation standard of wells (build by concert): the wells with depth of 40 m, should be compensated with CNY5,000, based on the depth of 40 m, the compensation increases 150 for every increased 1 m. The compensation decreases CNY100 for every decreased 1 m. The deposed or withered wells are compensated at 50%.

And in the principle of scientific plantation, intercrop with Tungs the number should be below 5 for each mu; Intercrop with the jujube, the number should be less than 22 for each mu; intercrop with the mixed trees, the number should be 25 below. If the number of trees exceeds the limited number and, if the number is one time or lower, the compensation should be calculated as the lower land grade, if the number exceeds more than one time, the compensation should be calculated as the lower two grade.

97. The land management in the urban area should be strengthened. No matter what units and individuals who need to dig wells, build house, plant trees, transplant crops into flowers, vegetables and Chinese medical materials, they should come to the planning department to transact the procedure of approval, or they will not be compensated for such cases.

98. This regulation lists the other ground attachment specifically; they should be compensated according to the corresponding regulations.

4.2. ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement

4.2.1. Overall Objective of ADB Involuntary Resettlement Policy

(i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. (ii) When population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring all viable project options. (iii) If individuals or a community must lose their land, means of livelihood, social support systems, or way of life in order that a project might proceed, they should be compensated and assisted so that their economic and social future will generally be at least as favorable with the project as without it. Appropriate land, housing, infrastructure, and other compensation, comparable to the without project situation, should be provided to the adversely affected population, including indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, and pastoralists who may have usufruct or customary rights to the land or other resources taken for the project. (iv) Any involuntary resettlement should, as far as possible, be conceived and executed as a part of a development project or program and resettlement plans should be prepared with appropriate time bound actions and budgets. Resettlers should be provided sufficient resources and opportunities to re-establish their homes and livelihoods as soon as possible. (v) The affected people should be fully informed and closely consulted on resettlement and compensation options. Where adversely affected people are particularly vulnerable,

27 resettlement and compensation decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase to build up the capacity of the vulnerable people to deal with the issues. (vi) Appropriate patterns of social organization should be promoted, and existing social and cultural institutions of resettlers and their hosts should be supported and used to the greatest extent possible. Resettlers should be integrated economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on host communities are minimized. One of the effective ways of achieving this integration may be by extending development benefits to host communities. (vii) The absence of formal legal title to land by some affected groups should not be a bar to compensation. Affected persons entitled to compensation and rehabilitation should be identified and recorded as early as possible, preferably at the project identification stage, in order to prevent an influx of illegal encroachers, squatters, and other non-residents who wish to take advantage of such benefits. Particular attention should be paid to the needs of the poorest households and other vulnerable groups, such as indigenous peoples, and appropriate assistance provided to help them improve their status. (viii) The full costs of resettlement and compensation, including the costs of social preparation and livelihood program as well as the incremental benefits over the “without project” situation, should be included in the presentation of project costs and benefits.

4.2.2. Resettlement Plan Preparation

99. According to the Bank policy, the contents and level of detail of a resettlement plan, which may vary with circumstances, especially the magnitude of resettlement, should normally include a statement of objectives, policies and strategy, and should cover the following essential elements: (i) Corresponding measures shall be taken for resettlement within the policy frame making sure that the affected people have their optional right and other rights concerning the resettlement; familiar with the feasible schemes technologically and economically, participating in negotiation and enjoying opportunity of selection; obtaining compensation rapidly and duly based on the resettlement costs to counteracting the direct financial loss caused by project.

4.3. Resettlement Objectives and Planning Principles

4.3.1. Resettlement Target 100. Compensation and resettlement policy to the affected people are formed based on China State laws and regulations as well as requirements from ADB. The purpose of the resettlement and rehabilitation plan is to ensure that the affected people will regain or surpass their living standards after the resettlement. Priority shall be given to poverty-stricken people and vulnerable groups.

28

4.3.2. Resettlement planning principles

101. Requirements both from China State laws and Asian Development Bank are reflected in the Resettlement principles provided in Table 4.2 are principles involving compensation, dismantling and income rehabilitation; which are adequately flexible: allowing differences between villages, and urban communities; the differences are embodied on the one hand between land redistribution and cash payment; and on the other hand, the income rehabilitation of individual income based on community. The key lies in guaranteeing all affected people could get assistance and compensation for income rehabilitation after resettlement.

Table 4.2: Resettlement Principles Principles Compensation and entitlement provided to the affected people should maintain their living 1 standard at least no worse than ever “without project”, or better. All the affected people, legally entitled or non-entitled, should be compensated and assisted 2 for resettlement. Compensation by cash should ensure the standard of living of the affected people can be 3 maintained at least no worse than ever after resettlement. In case livelihood fails to be maintained after land acquisition, cash compensation or kind 4 compensation for land loss should be made thereto. Other income generation activities should all be carried out. The affected people should have full understanding of such items as eligibility, compensation 5 modes and rate, livelihood and income rehabilitation as well as the project implementation schedule, and participate in the implementation of the resettlement plan. Land acquisition should not be carried out until the affected people are satisfied with 6 compensation and resettlement and their schemes. Compensation and resettlement would be monitored by the executive agency or the third 7 party. Special assistance or treatment should be given to the vulnerable groups to ensure they have 8 a better life.

9 The affected people should have opportunities to get profits from the project.

10 Demolition and resettlement plans should be identical with the overall plan for Puyang.

4.4. Compensation Rate

4.4.1. Compensation Principles z Compensation rate should be determined according to replacement cost principle. z Compensations shall be paid before acquisition of land and property. z Construction management shall be consolidated to shorten the down time for enterprises and shops affected. z Land compensation rate and resettlement subsidy for land acquisition shall be executed in compliance with Henan Land Administrative Regulations and Administrative Method for Land Examination and Approval and Houses Demolition Compensation for Public Welfare Construction of Puyang.

29 z The attachments involving standing crops and trees shall be compensated to the land users or proprietors in line with the policy regulations.

4.4.2. Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition and Resettlement

(i) Compensation Rate for Permanent Land Acquisition 102. The Plant shall occupy 30 mu irrigated land and the water source shall occupy 18 mu irrigated land. The AAOV for the last 3 years is determined to be CNY1,300/mu. According to the latest regulations of Ministry of Land and Resources promulgated at the beginning of 2007, the local compensation standard has been improved by increasing the land compensation multiplier from 8 to 9 times of AAOV of the last 3 years. See Tables 4.3 and 4.4.

4.4.3. Cut-off Date

104. The qualifying deadline for compensation for the ground attachment in Qingfeng water supply project was decided on 1 February 2008. Only pre-existing ground attachments and facilities can be compensated. Any newly built structures or trees planted after this date will not be compensated.

4.4.4. Disbursement of Compensation Fund

105. In principle, the compensation for the land acquisition and other attachment should be directly paid to the legal owners of the property.

106. Compensation for land acquisition and resettlement paid by the IAs should be distributed to the owner or user of the land directly before land acquisition. According to the Land Administrative Law of People’s Republic of China, the compensation for land loss should be handed to the former owners and users of the land before the land acquisition, while the resettlement subsidies must be put in the aim for relocating the farmers. Therefore, the collective land compensations will be handed to the collective economic entity who owns the lands; the resettlement subsidies will be handed to village committee for the resettlement of farmers.

4.4.5. Procedures for Compensation Payment

107. Figure 4.1 below shows the process and supervision of the compensation fund payment. The Compensation for land acquisition, demolition and resettlement should be paid to IA and township LAO. Then the township government will distribute the compensation fund to the village committee for management and supervision. The township government will monitor and audit the use of the fund, assess and evaluate the effect of the fund use and give necessary instruction to inspect for fraud.

4.4.6 Eligibility and Entitlement for Compensation

108. All the APs should get compensation for loss of their property based on replacement cost.

109. According to the compensation rules, entitlement and eligibility, a resettlement entitlement matrix (Table 4.7) is formulated to guide resettlement implementation, which includes loss of various types (such as loss of houses, land, shops/enterprises, temporary/fixed income resources), covering measures, regulations and standard as provided in this chapter and other chapters.

34 5. Compensation and Rehabilitation Measures

5.1. Resettlement Strategy

5.1.1. Resettlement Objective

110. The general objective of this RP is to ensure that: the affected person (AP) will be compensated for their land loss and will improve their living standards or at least not be worse than the current level. Based on the features of economic development and employment of the affected village, with integrated analysis, the resettlement objectives are determined as follows: (i) develop the Second and Tertiary Industry and increase APs’ income and (ii) actively take economic rehabilitation measures to ensure AP regain or surpass their living standards after the resettlement.

5.1.2. Principle of RP

111. Based on the relevant state regulations and rules and the ADB involuntary resettlement policies, this RP should observe the following basic principles: z Implement resettlement soundly and put relevant compensation into action, so as to boost or at least restore the effected residents’ living standards. z The resettlement should consider the relations of nation, community and individual. z RP should be compiled in accordance with physical index and compensation rates for land acquisition and demolition. Resettlement projects scale and standards shall be subject to the principle of original scale and standards restoring. Meanwhile, the investment gap should not be left on the basis of planned amount limitation. z RP should involve comprehensive negotiation with APs. z The resettlement should take local city’s plan, resource plan, economic development and environment into consideration. We should take effective measures based on real and local conditions, so as to create the opportunity for APs’ own development.

5.2. Rehabilitation Plan for Permanent Land Acquisition

5.2.1. Disbursement and Distribution of Compensation Fund

(i) Disbursement of the Compensation Fund

112. The compensation fund will be disbursed by the Water Supply Company directly to the accounts of every township LARO and the latter will set up special accounts for APs and directly allocate the compensation fund to APs’ account in accordance with the allocation program.

(ii) Allocation of the Compensation Fund

113. The Water Supply Company, via township LAROs, held meetings with affected villages, village committees and villager representatives concerning distribution of the compensation funds. Regarding the 30 mu permanent acquired land within Wuyanjing Village for the plant construction, with agreement of more than 2/3 villagers, it was decided to readjust the remaining 258 mu farmland within the village group equally and pay the land compensation and resettlement subsidy to every household within the group. While for the

35 rest 18 mu permanent land in the 9 villages of Liuge and Zhifang Towns acquired for construction of wells and pumping stations, the APs did not agree to readjust land but would like to obtain the compensation for profit-getting self investment. The compensation funds will be fully distributed to the affected farmers as well as the indirectly affected people after land readjustment through the village committees. Each transaction will be registered.

5.2.2. The task of Rehabilitation

114. The task of the rehabilitation is to ensure that the income of all the APs is restored to at least the present level. Training programs will also aim to further boost incomes on a sustainable basis and to assist the poor in moving out of poverty (see also paras 117 and 118).

5.2.3. Standards for rehabilitation

115. According to the ADB resettlement policies and the requirement of State laws, the APs should be safeguarded to get benefit from the project without their living halted. Living standard and condition will exceed the level before the project to achieve the goal of rehabilitation.

5.2.4. Agricultural rehabilitation plan

116. Despite the land acquisition will not have much impact on the affected villages, the directly affected land contractors shall be influenced relatively more. Accordingly, the LARO discussed with the relevant village committees and consulted fully with the directly and indirectly affected land users on the utilization of the compensation fund and the rehabilitation of agricultural production. Following consensus were reached on rehabilitation measures.

i) Readjust land. As a result permanent land acquisition, the 83 APs from 18 households in Wuyanjing Village affected by the 30 mu land acquired for the plant site lost 33% of their irrigated land (see Table 3-2). The village committee will organize to readjust the land within the whole village group before construction to ensure the relatively balanced possession of arable land. Thus the other 179 persons from 52 households of the village group were also affected. Consequently, all 262 persons from 70 households of the village group will receive a relative portion of the total compensation fund. With a total of 258 mu land readjusted for the 70 households, each household will lose about 10.4% of their land. ii) Cash compensation. Villagers meeting has been held by the village committee on the allocation of the fee to make up the loss after land readjustment. Further meetings and discussions are needed to reach final agreement. iii) Adjust the agricultural structure. After the land is reduced, the affected persons shall be helped to increase the average yield by adjusting the agricultural structure. Such activities will also increase income per unit area of land and thereby offset the result of permanent land loss.

5.2.5. Non-agricultural rehabilitation plan

117. Develop the third industry. According to the advantages of each affected village, the affected persons shall be encouraged to engage in transportation, breed aquatics, processing industry and other business services to increase income.

36

118. For the affected people, appropriate training will be provided on breeding, edible mushroom plantation and machinery operation. This will broaden their employment opportunities, and enhance their abilities to gradually engage in non-agricultural work for which greater opportunities exist. About more than 100 employment opportunities shall be provided to both directly and indirectly affected persons (APs), with priority given to the directly affected persons, in the construction of the project.

5.2.6. Measures for the income rehabilitation

(i) Measures for the income rehabilitation

119. After permanent land acquisition, the land left shall be readjusted within villages or groups, compensation fund shall be allocated to affected people for income rehabilitation.

120. Following measures shall be carried out to recover the income loss: i) enhance technical training; ii) adjust sector structure and encourage scientific farming; iii) develop breeding and aquatics; iv) encourage to participate in processing industry; v) help to seek working opportunities.

(ii) Training Measures

121. The affected persons will get compensation after part of their land is lost or damaged, but if they want to exceed their present income before the project, they must develop new skills and create new economic opportunities. To provide training for the APs is the best way for them to maintain and develop their livelihoods. Both directly and indirectly affected persons can take part in the training at no cost to themselves and the training fee will be met by the Water Supply Company. According to the former Resettlement Plan, several training programs have already been conducted on livestock breeding, planting, growing mushrooms, and skills development in plumbing, electric welding, and business management for the APs originally planned for the construction Scheme 2. Some of the APs from Liuge Town have participated in the trainings. For the new APs, as well as including APs from Liuge Town, further training programs are planned as below.

5.3.6. The employment during construction period

122. The people who have the ability to work or the skills or who are competent for the suitable work after training will get priority to work for the water supply project during construction period.

5.4. Women and Vulnerable Groups Rights Protection

123. In the scope of land acquisition, we have not discovered the single woman-headed households caused by divorce, losing spouse and being abandoned or elders. In the affected area, the female has the same right as that of male. It includes cultivating, education, family planning, and village election, and etc. Most woman labor interviewed thought they had the same production and business right as that of men, such as doing the part-time job or doing tiny business or doing the farm work. Of course, there is a different division between male and female in the housework and production. The women will tend to choose the housework, farm work, handwork and native and specialty business, while more young people choose to make a living at coastal areas.

124. The construction and land acquisition of the Project will not have obvious or extra influence on the women whose land is expropriated.

145. The external M&E on RP should be carried out by an organization or institution which is extremely independent of project executing agencies and local government. The project EA has engaged an independent institution to take charge of external M&E by means of bidding invitation.

8.2.1. External Monitoring Objectives z Confirming whether APs’ welfare is restored or maintained after completion of land acquisition and demolition. z Identifying the restraints in policy and implementation if no restoration or maintenance. z Evaluating the general efficiency, result, impact (APs’ behavior reaction included) and the sustainability of land acquisition and demolition policy and practice.

8.2.2. Means and Methods

146. The general method is monitoring the activities, evaluating project impact and safeguarding public participation of all the APs, especially of women and vulnerable groups. The monitoring tools include both qualitative and quantitative ones: z The baseline survey on the affected households is a representative sampling survey, which categorize due to gender and vulnerable groups to get relevant information of

45 main indicators such as compensation distribution, efficiency, validity, impact, sustainability and etc. 20% of the APs were taken as random samples. z Group discussion allows consultation from every related party of M&E stakeholders (local government, host site personnel, NGO, community leaders and affected groups). z The talks with key persons, visiting the significant persons with relevant experience in land acquisition, resettlement and implementation such as local leaders, village leaders. z Community public meetings: Holding the public meetings in the resettlement site, and explicating the information on the demolition resettlement. z Direct Structural/objective observation: Carrying out field study on the implementation of demolition and resettlement and cross-visiting the individuals and groups for the messages. z Informal survey or dialogues: Adopting non-sampling way to carry out informal survey on APs, main villages, workers, resettlement staff and those of executing agencies.

8.2.3. Reporting Requisition

147. The result of the internal M&E should be reported to the IA quarterly.

139. The internal M&E reports on project half-completion and total-completion should comprise evaluation reports on project key points, detailed interpretation of compensation payment and other measures to maintain or increase a little APs’ socioeconomic situations in “no project” state. And moreover, the experience and lessons from the land acquisition and resettlement should be included in the report for policy and method formulation in the future.

148. During the process of RP implementation, the external M&E institution should compile and submit M&E reports to ADB once half a year and then it should compile socioeconomic survey and evaluation reports every year until the APs’ livelihood was fully restored.

8.2.4. Resettlement M&E Outline
