IV. Field Findings
A. Employment of Ethnic Minority People 7. On way to the Xiaomidi Lisu natural village in Longling County, the consultant witnessed 12 Lisu women working for the project (see attaché photo in Annex 9). To the surprise of the consultant, women were doing laborious work to transport heavy sand bags by hand for slope protection work. The consultant learnt that hamlets for these women are provided by the contractor and each woman can earn CNY 100 per day. Size and members of the team are not fixed, and any women could join if she has time. The consultant further learnt that almost every household has worked for the project, ranging from the least of 15 days to the maximum of about 80 days (i.e., CNY 1,500~8,000 for a household). 8. The consultant was curious why the laborious jobs were doing by women, but got no answer from women. Later, the consultant learnt from the contractor (No.1) that men were a bit too lazy and they are unwilling to do the laborious jobs.2 The same story was also heard from other contractors; therefore, ethnic minority women are preferred by contractors than men. 9. The contactors are advised by the project to give priority to APs and ethnic minority people for employment; and all contractors followed this advice. The consultant further learnt that

the Contactor No.1 hire local women through 3 women working on the site (Annex 9), these three women are considered very dependable. However, initial contact for employment was through the village head. In the process of working for the project, the contractor found some dependable women who then became contacts and organizers for temporary employments. Most of the contractors hire local in this way, except Contactor No.5. The Contactor No. 5 hires locals through its cook, a Dai woman from the village, whenever labors are needed, the contractor informs the cook and the later then organizes labors through other villagers, mostly women. 10. To safeguard the benefits of construction workers, including APs working as unskilled labors, contactors has signed liability agreements with LREC for timely payment of wages. Yet, contractors were requested to submit to LREC the employment records (Table 2) and the list of employed persons (families) with detailed personal information (Table 3). 11. As shown in Table 2, a total of 12,756 person months of local were hired in 2013, of which 58.9%, 45.4% and 39.2% are APs, EMs and women respectively. 12. In the case of Contractor No. 14 as shown in Table 3, it had employed as many as 66 locals since February 2013 (i.e., after the Spring Festival). Of the 66 locals employed, there are 5 Dai and 15 Jingpo families. 13. Sample household questionnaire survey, with details given in the External Mentoring Report #4-RP implementation, showed that all the 23 ethnic minority households had worked for the project as unskilled labors.

The survey results, in comparison with baseline survey results, are presented in the External Monitoring Report #4-RP Implementation. Of the 23 sample EM HHs, the farmland loss ranges from 2% to 71%. The survey results of 23 EM HHs, are summarized as follows: (i) 18 HHs reported having net loss from cropping, ranging from CNY 800 to over CNY 12,000 in 2013, compared with the baseline survey year of 2011 (ii) 3 HHs have not yet restored their overall income. (iii) 20 HHs have restored their income. The income loss from cropping was mostly covered by working as unskilled labors for the project. All HHs had worked for the project and each HH earned CNY 1,500~5,000. However, if deducting the income from working for the project, only 12HHs had restored their income.
