3.7 Supporting Infrastructure Facilities
The ADB-financed Chongqing urban-rural infrastructure improvement II project is aimed at improving the status quo of poor infrastructure, change people's living conditions and accelerate economic growth. At present, the
roads in the project area basically are mud-gravel, and water supply mainly relies on wells or backward water supply factory; the poor transport facilities increase great difficulties for local people’s travel; well water and tap water with simple treatment process create more health risks to the local people. Meanwhile, due to inconvenient traffic and lagging economic development, the hardware and software of all supporting services measures such as medical and health care, schools, cultural activities are relatively backward.
Overall, it is ubiquitous in project areas that economy is relatively backward and the various facilities are imperfect.
4 The Implementation of SAP，GAP and EMDP
4.1 Social Action Plan
The areas that the project involves in are the places where economic conditions and infrastructure are relatively backward. Local residents there have many difficulties in traveling; their drinking water is unsafe and flood disaster occurs frequently. The project is aimed at improving the conditions of the traffic, drinking and flood disasters to increase regional economy. In the preparation stage, the social action plan is made in order to put forward measures of mitigate social negative influence and social risks, including the measures of increasing or improving project benefits. In addition, training plans of STD and HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention are also carried out; the consciousness of health and hygiene of the poor and vulnerable people are promoted and trained; and there are capacity requirements of implementing agencies, etc.
4.1.1 Local labor forces’ participation in the project
According to the ADB approved Project Agreement, 1865 work jobs will be provided to the local people (the female employers should be no less than 30%) during the construction. By the end of the report period, the related
IUs have absorbed about 999 local people into the construction, among which 207 are the female (20% of the total employers). Based on the survey, the wages of employers are different from 2500/per month to 4800/per month, which are reasonable and higher than the average wages of each county and district.

The hygienic security measures that construction units takes include: setting up fixed trash cans in camp areas; piling up all life garbage in one place; disposing comprehensively the dump of refuse on a regular basis; building a toilet; covering vehicles of transporting aggregates and cement which are liable to produce dust with tarpaulin.
4.1.4 Protection of eco-environment
This section will focus on the EMP implementation of Rongchang Rongfeng River flood control and revetment project and Wanzhou Yangliu Water Supply.
To reduce the destruction to ecological environment, the local government, IUs and construction units have conducted publicity and education about ecological environmental protection to the contractors. Civil engineering contractors take temporary and permanent measures of environmental protection and soil and water conservation measures. Noise level reaches to the national standard and the construction causes no pollution to agricultural
crops.
According to the monthly report and semiannual report of environmental monitoring as well as loan implementation environmentalists’ fieldwork, environmental mitigation measures of Rongchang and Wanzhou subprojects have correspondingly completed. The achievements of environmental management and water resource protection are of great significance.

Most participated women are less than 40 or around 40. However, the related trainings have no age limitation, and women over 40 have the same rights to participate the trainings. Since those women have to take of the old and the young, they pay more attention on the family, but if they prefer trainings and work outside, they have the same rights with others. Bedsides, the Women’s Federation will give them more guidance, and the report will update the related information in the next report.
During the external monitoring, no discrimination against women were found out through the interviews to the
Women's Federation, Poverty Relief Office and Public Security Department. In the survey, investigators had asked affected families about the ideas of nourishing kids and most of them said they didn’t care about the gender of babies and there existed no sex selection during pregnancy period since the modern society advocates gender equity.
Besides the local government and the Women’s Federations in all the project counties have conduct the sanitation training on women, especially on syncopation prevention training. Furthermore, the governments also have provided the free physical examination for the local women.
4.2.3 Women’s participation in the project construction
It must be ensured that women’s full participation in the project construction and enjoy the project benefits.
Implementing agencies and construction units as well as the community hold together to help women gain opportunities to work in physical labor and comply with all the provisions of the China labor law like “equal pay for equal work” and no employment of child labor or labor trafficking. According to current survey, women employment rate in the construction stage has reached more than 40%. As for temporary employment, local
residents (mainly relocated households) should be much hired. When hiring unskilled workers, priorities should be given women in affected families under the same conditions. Due to their main housework including laundry, cooking and taking care of children and older people, women don't have time to work in the construction site.
Local labors absorbed in each project are shown in table 4-8.

5.2 Per Capita Dispensable Income
The dispensable per capita income for urban residents is 25133 Yuan, a 9.0% increase over the previous year, among which the salary income increased 9.6%, the business net income increased
10.3%, the property net income grew by 2.8% and the transfer net income up by 9.3%. The dispensable per capita income for rural people is 9470 Yuan, up by 11.5%.
For the resident income, the urban and rural residents in Wanzhou, Fuling and Rongchang have exceeded the municipal average while both urban and rural residents in Wulong, Youyang, Shizhu and
Chengkou are below the average. From the Engel's Coefficient distribution, the expenditure on food still accounts for a large proportion of the total income, especially for the mountainous region where the spent on food even takes up nearly half of the income, which means that these regions are far from well beings. The per capita income of 2012-2014 for all the project districts/counties have increased significantly and the gap between the urban and rural are narrowing, especially for Fuling, Rongchang and Chengkou. The detailed statistics is shown in Table 5-3 below.

5.3 Poverty Reduction Performance
5.3.1Present state of poverty
In general, the rural infrastructure in Chongqing is poor and weak with wide spread poor population.
There are 33 counties with tasks of poverty alleviation in 40 districts in the whole city, which accounts for 82.5% 33 in the total number of the city's districts and counties. The city has 14 national key poverty alleviation counties, 4 municipal poverty alleviation and development key counties and 15 counties (including Wansheng economic development area) with the tasks of poverty alleviation and development. During the "12th Five Year Plan", there are 2000 poor villages in the city's plan which accounts for 22% of the administrative villages. The rural poverty reduction target is about 166 million people, the poverty rate is 6.5% which is 13.2% lower than that of the western region. The year to year tolls poverty rate due to illness and disasters is about 5%. What’s more, the distribution of poverty population is relatively concentrated which mainly distributes in the northeast area of Wanzhou district
(Daba Mountain Districts) and the central area of Qianjiang district (Wuling mountain Districts).
Besides Rongchang, all other 6 counties or districts under this Projects are the national or municipal poverty-stricken counties; among which 3 are the national poverty-stricken counties (Youyang county,
Shizhu county and Chengkou county) and 3 are the municipal poverty-stricken counties (Wanzhou district and Fuling district),..
According to national population census data, the poverty rate of the six poor districts and counties are all higher than that of Chongqing overall level. The specific situation is shown in Table 5-3.

In the field survey, the social evaluation team was deeply into the interview to the villagers groups that the project involved to learn about the status quo of the poor group, their main source of income, daily life as well as their poverty alleviation assistance and so on. Meanwhile, these poor groups are mainly consisted by the families with low income, the elderly people with no families, disabled people and female-headed households. The specific situation is shown in Table 5-4.

According to the interviews to the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Poverty Alleviation Office and related streets in the counties and districts in the project areas, the major reasons for the poverty of county residents in the project area are including sickness, male labor disability, female headed households,
“sanwu” people (the ones without identification papers, a normal residence permit and a source of income) and so on. For the poverty alleviation, in addition to the minimum living security and social assistance system, some municipal poverty reduction projects are also under implementation, for example: i. "Spring breezing plan": This plan focuses on providing more work opportunities and work policy consultations to the rural people including the rural people live in Chongqing and those returning peasant workers. In 2015, the related Chongqing government will hold 900 job fairs, providing more than 1 million job opportunities to the rural people. Based on the survey, the wages are from CNY
2000 to CNY 6000 depending on the work type and position; ii. "Rain plan": This plan is to provide related skill trainings to the poor and the subsidies to the students of the poor families. In 2015, 79 thousand poor people have participated the trainings and more than 5000 poor people have been introduced to work under this plan. Besides, this plan will provide fund to the poor college students, and in 2015 1137 students have been subsidized；
iii. The small loans for women: In order to encourage the self-employed for women, Chongqing government push out this type of loan to women only. Women can apply for (no more than) 100 thousand with free interest, and the loan period is 2 years.
At the same time, each project county also established some poverty reduction measures according to the features and customs in the poverty-stricken areas; the specific measures are in Table 5-5:
Table 5-5 Summary of poverty reduction in all project districts/ counties

5.4 Road Investment and Operation
5.4.1 Rural roads accessibility
The Project includes three road components, namely the Chengkou Road Component, Shizhu Road
Component and Fuling Road Component. Among the three components, Chengkou and Shizhu are located in the northeast and southeast of Chongqing with complicated geological condition and sharp mountains and steep slopes, which hinders the construction of the roads. The road networks in these two counties are quite underdeveloped. Apart from Fuling, whose road network and rural road accessibility are better than the municipal average, the rural road accessibility of rest two counties are
lower, which has affected the normal transportation of the local people and the economic development.
It is therefore of great significant to further improving the rural road network in these two counties.
Based on the field research to 3 components above, the monitoring group found that the planed road network constructions of Chengkou and Shizhu are relatively backward, and there exist some potential risks in the roads of Chengkou subproject area, especially when the weather is not favorable, villagers cannot go to some places like school and hospital by vehicles but on foot instead. Although the construction of Fuling road networks is comparatively fine, its remote location from the county hinders the local economic development to a great extent. Therefore, it is of great significant to further improving the rural road network in these two counties.
5.4.2 Quality and conditions of road networks
By the end of 2014, the length of the newly built and upgraded rural road has reached 90 thousands km, providing accessibility to 800 towns/townships and 4,739 administrative villages. The rural road network density has reached 134 km/hundreds square kilometer, ranking no.1 in western China and no.5 in the whole country. The accessibility to the towns/townships and administrative villages have both reached 100% while to the natural village 83.9%. In 2014, 13,800 km rural roads have started the construction with 11,400 finished, accounting for 126.7% of the annual plan. The rural road development in the road component area is listed in table 5-6 below.

through the upgrading and new building to the roads, which laying a good foundation for improving
local transportation condition and increasing transport efficiency.
5.5 Convenience of Infrastructure Facilities
According to 51 sampling villages, the household electricity and tap water conditions have improved
to a greater extent, in the first half of 2014, compared with 2013, with electricity households reaching
100%. The villagers' travel conditions have changed much. Details are shown in table 5-7

At present, all components of the project have not completed their construction yet and the roads have
not come into operation, so that the economic and social benefits cannot be defined for the moment
and will be made analysis in the following staging report according to runnability of respective project
in different districts/ counties.
5.6 The Water Supply and Drinking in Water Supply Project Areas
5.6.1 The Water Supply Situation in the Project Areas
The water supply project covers Wanzhou District. In 2014, the rate of safe drinking water in Wanzhou
reached 100%; the coverage of pipe network in the district is 97% and the project area covers land of 98%.
It is noticed that the existing 11 public water plants are located in the north part of the river. According
to the master plan, the south part will become a core development area in the future so that the
construction of a new water plant with larger coverage and capacity has become a necessity.
Because of the undulating topography of the main urban area, the water user groups are relatively scattered, resulting in this layout pattern of the water plants: “high water used at high levels, and low water used at low levels”. There are two largest water plants and the water supply facilities are mainly located in Longbao, Tiancheng, and Wuqiao (“Five Bridges”) District Areas of Wanzhou, and the towns near the urban area. The water supply area is about 105 square kilometers, with water supply coverage of nearly 100%. The total length of municipal water supply pipes of diameters of DN100 mm or more is about 525.0 km. The main water supply facilities are in the following table:
So far as we know, the integrated water price of household water-consumption is 3.50 yuan including
2.45 yuan of water charge, 1.00 yuan of collecting sewage treatment fee and 0.05 yuan of city development surcharge. The integrated water price of non-household water-consumption is 4.58 yuan including 3.23 yuan of water charge, 1.30 yuan of collecting sewage treatment fee and 0.05 yuan of city development surcharge.
Table 5-8 Statistics of Existing Municipal Public Water Plants in Main Urban Area
5.6.2 Investment, construction and progress of water supply project
WanzhouYangliu water supply plant and water treatment plant of supporting pipe networks (relocation of three water plants) cover the area of 151.2 mu (10.08 hectare), and the construction site locates in
Xuetangwan community, Shuanghekou Block, Wanzhou District. Total scale of the project is 350,000 m3/d, and a water treatment plant with daily supplying capacity of 200,000 tons will be newly built including sewage treatment facilities, water quality monitoring equipment, power supply and distribution system, offices and supporting equipment of other plants; The detailed designs of WA-01
C contract package project have been compiled and approved by consultant. The document draft of the contract has also been reviewed by the consultant before being submitted to ADB in September 2014.
On September 30, 2014, the tender documents called for bids on the Internet and the corresponding bidding evaluation report gained the "no objection" from ADB on December 2, 2014 after the review.
On December 10, 2014 the bid-winning notice was sent. After consulting with the winning bidder, the implementation unit and the winning bidder (contractor) signed a WA-C01 contract on February 25,
2015 after Chinese New Year. With the contractor’s preparation on the project site, the construction began on May 10 and will be completed in March 2016. The rest of the tender documents are being compiled.
The contract of WA-C01 was signed on February 25, 2015 and the project was carried out on May 10.
The paper pointed out that the contract period was ten months and the initial contract price is
59,635,428 yuan. The projects in WA-C01 contract include Yangliu Water Supply Project in Wanzhou
District (first phase of construction) and Changping construction including site formation, slope protection and channel wall for flood control. At the end of the project, preparations for construction site and about 10% earthwork in this contract have been completed. The achievements of major projects have not yet reached.
5.7 Flood History in Project Areas
(1) Rongchang
The project is located in the north new zone of the Rongchang County with frequent flood accidents.
The site survey found that the river reach basically has no flood control measures and the protection standard is lower than the once in 10 years. Landslide often happened due to the rush of the river and endanger to the safety of the local residents. Apart from the flood and storm, the poor infrastructure in the project areas also deteriorates the water quality of the Rongfeng River from the mixed rainwater and wastewater. The water and living environment was significantly affected.
According to county records, countywide flooding occurred six times from 1528 to 1881, seven times from 1882 to 1949, and 15 times in the 47 years from 1950 to 1996. On 17 July 1947 both river banks along the river in the county seat were flooded, and houses and furniture were washed away, with an affected population of 4.4 million, 26 people dead and 27 people injured, and a loss of 5 billion Yuan.
On 3 July 1981 a devastating flood occurred in Laixi River. In the river section in the county seat the water level rose to 11.3 m. Most of the urban area was flooded, more than 10,000 residents were temporarily diverted, and the economic loss was CNY47.97 million. In the evening of 7 July 1996,
103.2 mm of rainfall fell; more than 500 meters of pipeline trenches of the county potable water plant technology transformation project were damaged, resulting in ceasing of production for 28 township enterprises, with economic loss of CNY1.28 million.
(2) Wulong
The Wulong Component is the extension to the upstream of the World Bank project on the left bank of the Wujiang River. The objectives are finishing the left bank protection works for Wujiang River (2.6
km embankment construction) so as to improve the urban infrastructure and upgrade the flood protection level to once in 20 years.
It is visited that the river in the new urban area is in a natural state. Floodwater can spread ashore easily. The proposed project area is located in the left bank; the bank slope is steep and suffered from flood immersion and erosion, liable to cause large amounts of soil erosion. Especially during the flooding season, the flood water rises and falls rapidly, which causes the river bank to crumble and slip continually, inducing subsidence, bank collapse, landslides, and other secondary disasters, endangering people's lives and property. Due to the lack of municipal infrastructure in the project area, sewage and garbage can be seen everywhere, the environmental hygiene is poor, the surrounding water quality and ecological environment is severely affected, and the reservoir banks’ landscape and image of the urban area have also been undermined.
(3) Youyang
The component in Youyang is located in Longtan Town. Floods occur frequently in Longtan River of
Youyang County, while the flood control projects in the Longtan River Basin are inadequate. Only in the river reaches of some towns and townships and important schools and river reaches, are scattered flood control revetment work. It is difficult to form an effective water basin flood control system.
According to Youyang County urban and rural master plan, Longtan Town will be a major area for future urbanization and development. It is one of “China's famous historical and cultural towns" and
"Chongqing’s ten historical and cultural towns”, but due to lack of municipal infrastructure, wastewater is discharged directly into Longtan River. On the river bank slope there is a lot of garbage.
The river water quality is in decline, greatly affecting Longtan Town’s water environment. In Longtan
Town, with increasing size of the urban area and economy, the population continues to increase, and losses in flood disasters will continue to increase. Most reaches of Longtan River are natural embankments. The flood control standards in the project river reach are less than one in 10 years, lower than the one-in-20-year standards required by the planning.
5.8 Construction Capability Assessment of Implementing Agencies
In order to implement the ADB project effectively and smoothly, a top-down organization system for project management should be established at all levels of governments, responsible for engineering
design, examination and approval, coordination, implementation and monitoring work.
1. Leading groups of ADB project in all districts/counties
In order to organize and guide the project preparation and construction, branch leaders from
Development and Reform Commission, Land and Resource Bureau and the Transportation Bureau work together to constitute leading groups of ADB project in all districts/counties under the overall planning of governmental sectors. In the group, the district/county major acts as group leader and director of Development and Reform Commission as deputy chief, in charge of the cooperation among different departments.
The main responsibilities are to strengthen the guidance to this project, making sure that ADB projects can progress well. Meanwhile, they are responsible for coordinating organizations at all levels. There are ADB project management offices (PMOs) under the leading group.
2. LPMOs
The subordinate project management office will represent all county government to charge the overall management of the project implementation, serving as decision-making and administrative agency for project execution. LPMOs comprise Development and Reform Commission, Land and Resources
Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau, project IUs and township leaders. The main responsibilities are:
Taking charge of related personnel training to the project; organizing and coordinating preparation and implementation of all kinds of report; conducting public consultation and releasing resettlement policy; monitoring the management and use of various funds of the project; holding internal supervision activities and preparing internal monitoring report; participating in funds payment and annual audit; responsible for the specific work of project management including the contact with ADB..
3、IUs
IUs are responsible for implementing ADB projects and internal monitoring, raising funds for project construction, entrusting DIs to make design plan, drawing and relevant report and handing in design data and progress of works to ADB office and Foreign Funds office.
6 Conclusion and Recommendations
6.1 Conclusion
The results of investigation show that relevant competent units and the IUs in all sub-projects are vigorously doing the work of project publicity and mobilization of public participation:
(1) Each component in the whole project from initiation to implementation will be in the charge of specially-assigned personnel and there is also specialist responsible for the coordination in relevant departments. The team members made up cadres from different departments and responsible for carrying out the immigration are of high quality, playing an active role in the late project. In addition, the land acquisition staffs of each component show a good work style of conscientiousness and patience, which is helpful for communication of resettlement work among relevant implementing departments, and timely reflect and deal with the difficulties and problems of land acquisition work and strengthen local residents’ understanding of engineering and resettlement activities.
(2) From social actions carried out in all districts and counties, they mainly focus on project publicity, resettlement consultation and publicity of construction safety knowledge.
(3) Information disclosure of all subprojects should be made accordingly, such as posting announcement, holding a mass meeting and report and make the project and immigration work public through some media like television, newspaper and so on. In terms of Chengkou Water Supply project, for example, after a hearing, there arose some differences on the compensation for ground appendages, and then the IU and local village cadres held a meeting for coordination, which made the issue to be solved with openness and fairness and gained the understanding of the affected villagers.
Finally the resettlement work was completed successfully and got high unanimous praise.
6.2 Recommendations
In the monitoring and evaluation analysis to all targets above, some problems have been put forward and relevant recommendations on these them. As a summary, there will be several more important proposals and measures to guide the work in all levels and departments of the project and ensure the smooth realization of the goal of ADB project II.
(1) IUs need to strengthen the internal finance management and auditing management.
(2) IUs should strengthen personnel training, which is advantageous to better cooperate with the
ADB and other international consultancy for the IU and construction units.
(3) In accordance with requirements of environmental protection, the construction unit needs to ensure the construction of the project under environmental procedures and guidelines of ADB and government, ensure the implementation of the environmental monitoring plan and ensure to minimize adverse environmental impacts arising from the construction according to mitigation measures and monitoring plans in the environmental impact assessment.
(4) After the project is completed and put into use, IUs need to continue to hire local poor people at maximum, encouraging women in the project areas to participate in the activities of daily highway maintenance etc., and to guarantee men and women equal pay for equal work.
It is suggested that during the operation of subjects, corresponding policies be made to give allowance and remission to disadvantaged groups in project areas, especially those affected by the construction.
