Foreword I. Purpose of preparing this RAP 1 The RAP is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their living standard is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”.

II. Definitions of terms Displaced persons 2 Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “Displaced Persons” may be classified in one of the following three groups: a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets-provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the RAP; and c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3 Persons covered under paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objective set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date① established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land.

III. Compensation and resettlement measures 4 To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) displacement or loss of shelter; (ii) loss of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, a RAP or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following: (a) The Resettlement Action Plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: ➢ informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; ➢ consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and ➢ provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost②, for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. (b) If the impacts include physical displacement, the RAP or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: ➢ provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during displacement; and ➢ provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. (c) Where necessary to achieve the objective of the policy, the Resettlement Action Plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are: ➢ offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; ➢ provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in

① Normally, this cut-off date is the date the census begins. The cut-off date could also be the date the roject area was delineated, prior to the census, provided that there has been an effective public dissemination of information on the area delineated, and systematic and continuous dissemination subsequent to the delineation to prevent further population influx. ②"Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account.

paragraph 4(a) (iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. 5 Cut-off date: means the date of publication of the announcement of LA and property demolition in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their properties; shall not change the uses of their properties and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their properties; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person.

1 Overview 1.1 Background and Description of the Project 1.1.1 Background The Chuzhou-Nanjing Intercity Railway Project (hereinafter, the “Project”) is an important project in the Yangtze River Delta economic belt. Nanjing is an important central city in eastern China, an important portal for the Yangtze River Delta to drive the development of central and western China, and also an important node between the eastern coastal and Yangtze River Delta economic belts. Chuzhou is a core city in the Nanjing metropolitan region, and the portal north of the Yangtze River for Nanjing, an important pivotal city in the Jianghuai region, and a nodal city for the eastward development of Anhui Province and connection to the Yangtze River Delta. The Chuzhou-Nanjing Intercity Railway is located in Nanjing and Chuzhou Cities, and on the verge of the Yangtze River Delta. This efficient and green intercity rapid passenger traffic system will meet local transport demand, and promote local urbanization, economic development, and the integration of Nanjing and Chuzhou. In September 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission approved the Construction Plan for Intercity Railways in the Wanjiang Region (2015-2020), proposed to construct the Chuzhou-Nanjing segment of the --Chuzhou-Nanjing Intercity Railway by 2020. The Feasibility Study Report of the Project was completed in October 2017, and approved by the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission in May 2018. The Project broke ground in December 2018, and will be completed in 2022, with a construction period of 42 months. 1.1.2 Components The Project is located in eastern Anhui Province and western Province, running from the urban area of Chuzhou City, Suzhou-Chuzhou Modern Industrial Park (SCMIP), Lai’an County in Chuzhou City, and Pukou District in Nanjing City to planned Nanjing North Station, with a full length of 54.403km, with two main substations and a control center. It is divided by the Chuhe River into the Chuzhou (DK0+000~DK46+255) and Nanjing (DK46+255~DK54+403) segments. The Chuzhou segment consists of Chuzhou High-speed Rail Station, Chuyang Road South Station, Technical College Station, Longpan Avenue Station, Municipal Government Station, Fengyang North Road Station, Youyi Road Station, SCMIP Station, Demonstration Park Station, Lai’an South Station (reserved), Xiangguan North Station, Xiangguan Town Station (reserved), Chahe New Town Station and Chahe Town Station. Extension to Bengbu is reserved at Demonstration Park Station, and transfer with planned rail traffic line 3 of Chuzhou City is realized. A main substation will be set up near Xiangguan Town, and a control center southeast of the junction of Huizhou and Yangzi Roads. See Figure 1-1.

2 Impacts of the Project 2.1 Measures to Avoid or Minimize Resettlement 2.1.1 Principles for Project Design and Site Selection Resettlement impacts have been minimized at the design stage on the following principles: ➢ Avoiding or minimizing occupation of existing and planned residential areas; ➢ Avoiding or minimizing occupation of high-quality farmland; ➢ Gaining access to the proposed construction sites through existing state and local roads; and ➢ Minimizing construction impacts on nearby residents. 2.1.2 Comparison of Options The project design has been optimized to minimize negative resettlement impacts. Through comparison, Option 1 is preferred. See Table 2-1. At the detailed design stage, the project design will be further optimized in consultation with the APs to avoid or reduce resettlement impacts.

Table 2-1 Comparison of Options Project Option 1 Option 2 Conclusion From Fengle Avenue to Hongwu West Road Boundary width Compared to Project to Chuzhou High-speed Railway Station, about 30m, Option 2, Option 1 (Chuzhou about 2km long, involving state-owned land affecting some involves less LA segment) mainly, and almost no LA and no HD land and houses and HD.

2.2 Range of Resettlement Impact Survey In the preferred option, 271 households with 932 persons in 18 groups of 12 villages/communities in 4 townships and one sub-district in Nanqiao District, SCMIP, Lai’an County and Quanjiao County will be affected.

2.3 Survey Methods and Process In March 2019, the task force conducted a socioeconomic survey and a DMS in the project area, covering population, LA impacts, household conditions, expected resettlement modes, etc. During the survey, two FGDs were held (see Appendix 2), and extensive consultation conducted. The task force also interviewed the Chuzhou PMO, land and resources bureau, HD management office, labor and social security bureau, etc., and collected relevant information to learn LA and resettlement policies and practices. During the survey, the task force collected comments on resettlement from village committees and villagers, and conducted extensive consultation. The key findings of the survey are as follows: ➢ Almost all APs know that the Project is about to break ground and support it. ➢ The Project involves permanent LA, HD and temporary land occupation mainly, and also affects some infrastructure and ground attachments. ➢ Almost all APs think that they are affected slightly by LA, and can still farm on the remaining land. They prefer cash compensation. ➢ Compensation should be paid timely and transparently with minimum intermediate links.

2.4 Permanent LA and Impact Analysis 2.4.1 Permanent LA 222 households with 780 persons in 18 groups of 12 villages/communities in 4 townships and one sub-district in Nanqiao District, SCMIP, Lai’an County and Quanjiao County will be affected by permanent LA, with 632.48 mu of collective land acquired, including 402.82 mu of cultivated land (63.69%), 0.18 mu of traffic land (0.03%), 219.47 mu of housing land (34.70%), and 10.01 mu of water surface and water facility land (1.58%). See Table 2-3. 2.4.2 Impact Analysis A comparative analysis of cultivated land before and after LA of the affected village groups has been made according to the socioeconomic survey. After LA, except Zhaozhuang (0.76 mu per capita), Dadun (0.76 mu per capita), Chengang (0.67 mu per capita) and Luying (0.72 mu per capita) Groups, the other affected groups will have per capita cultivated areas of over 1 mu. All the 18 groups in 12 villages affected by LA have land loss rates of below 21.82%. Annual per capita income loss ranges from 966.34 yuan (Fanzhuang Group of Xinhe Village, Shizi Town, Quanjiao County) to 0.47 yuan (Shuizha Group of Yaopu Community, Yaopu Town, Nanqiao District). Among the 18 affected groups, Fanzhuang Group of Xinhe Village has the highest per capita income loss rate of 6.44%, followed by Gaoxi Group of Chentang Village (4.07%), while the per capita income loss rates of the other groups are below 4%.

Since the Project is linear in shape, and mostly involves existing road expansion or reconstruction, each AH will be affected slightly. 88 AHs have land loss rates of less than 10% (39.82%), 84 have land loss rates of 10%-20% (38%), 49 have land loss rates 20%-30% (22.18%), and none has a land loss rate of 30% or more. See Tables 2-6 and 2-7. The main crops of the project area are paddy rice, corn and vegetables, and the main income sources of the AHs are outside employment, vegetable cultivation, and characteristic stockbreeding, and no AH relies completely on farming. Most AHs will be affected slightly by LA. In Gaodong and Gaoxi Groups of Chentang Village, and Fanzhuang Group of Xinhe Village affected relatively more seriously, laborers mostly work outside, and some women and old people deal with vegetable cultivation and stockbreeding locally. In sum, LA will affect the income of the affected groups slightly.

2.5 Impacts of Temporary Land Occupation Construction will be conducted in stages to reduce traffic impacts, and all land to be occupied temporarily will be within the boundary line. Sand and stone yards, mixing plants, borrow areas, spoil grounds, production and living areas, temporary roads, etc. may involve temporary land occupation, but the occupied area is unclear for the moment. For the temporarily occupied land, compensation and land reclamation fees will be paid by the contractor. Temporary land occupation is not involved for the moment.

2.6 Impacts of Permanent Occupation of State-owned Land 1,051.92 mu of state-owned land will be occupied permanently for the Project, including 318.75 mu in Nanqiao District, 41 mu in Langya District, 646.76 mu in Lai’an County and 45.41 mu in Quanjiao County, or 155.88 mu of urban land, 3.01 mu of water surface, 5.04 mu of river flat and 770 mu of highway land.

2.7 Affected Fishponds Two fishponds will be affected by the Project, namely a 2 mu fishpond contracted by Zhao Dacheng’s family in Gaoqiao Village in Quanjiao County and a 1.8 mu fishpond of the collective of Chentang Village in Lai’an County, in which few domestic fishes are raised. Zhao Dacheng’s family in Gaoqiao Village in Quanjiao County has signed a fishpond contracting agreement with the group (see Appendix 1), where grass carps and crucians are raised mainly, with a market price of 12 yuan/kg, average annual income of 8,000 yuan/mu and a contract period of 31 years (2002-2033). Zhao Dacheng’s family pays fishpond and forest farm rental together at 20,000 yuan per annum, which was paid annually from 2003 to 2006, and at a time after 2006. Generally, the affected fishponds are small and subject to extensive culture, and there will be no major livelihood impact. See Table 2-3.

2.10.3 Affected Women 364 women will be affected by the Project, accounting for 51% of the affected population. According to the survey, the affected women enjoy the same rights as men, and play an important role in family decisions. Women do housework mainly, while men mostly do farm work or work outside. The average working time of women is almost the same as that of men. By sector, women are advantaged in catering, social services, apparel making, etc., but disadvantaged in construction and transport. Boys and girls have equal opportunities in education, and parents are always willing to support their children’s education. According to the survey, women have the same concerns as those of men: a) Compensation should be strictly based on the applicable state laws and regulations, and paid timely; b) LA compensation should be paid directly to the AHs; and c) Resettlement houses should be built before HD. Women have the following needs that are different from those of men: a) Women expect both cash compensation and land reallocation; b) Women expect skills training in crop cultivation, stockbreeding, handicrafts, etc.; and b) Women also expect to participate in village-level management.

2.11 Affected Ground Attachments and Infrastructure The Project will affect 6 types of attachments, including house attachments, telegraph poles, adult trees, fruit trees, etc. See Table 2-11.

1For elderly, weak, widowed and disabled members who are unable to work and have no means of living, or whose households lack labor, a rural production cooperative would provide production and living assistance, including daily supplies, education for the young and burial for the elderly. 2 The local rural MLS standard is 150 yuan/month.

3.3 Sampling Survey on Women In order to learn local women’s basic information, the task force conducted a sampling survey on women by means of personal interview, questionnaire survey, FGD, etc. No woman-headed household caused by widowing, divorce, abandonment, etc. has been identified among the AHs. 3.3.1 Income Occupations of women restrict their income, because farming and housework are not regarded as income-generating activities, and only money earned by men working outside is regarded as income. The survey shows that the contribution of men to household income (73.88%) is much higher than that of women (26.12%). Therefore, the recessiveness of women’s income prevents the

improvement of their family economic status. See Table 3-7.

3.3.2 Educational Level The survey shows that local women’s overall educational level is much lower than that of men. For example, the percentage of men having received senior high school / secondary technical school education (20.30%) is higher than that of women (16.65%), the percentage of men having received junior college or above education (6.49%) is higher than that of women (5.39%), while the percentage of women having received primary school or below education (35.82%) is significantly higher than that of men (22.15%). See Table 3-8.

3.3.3 Occupation Women deal with farming and housework mainly, and the percentage of women working outside is low. 40.79% of women do housework, 48.31% deal with farming, 10.9% work outside with husbands or relatives, and few women work in nearby counties and towns (e.g., restaurants, hotels, plants). In contrast, 8.81% of men do housework, 60.07% deal with farming, and 31.12% work outside. See Table 3-9.

3.3.4 Expected Resettlement Mode Cash compensation is the resettlement mode preferred by and available to every AH. After receiving cash compensation, the AHs may choose agricultural or nonagricultural resettlement (including working outside or doing business after training). Most women prefer agricultural resettlement (80.12%), which is closely associated with their occupations and family role. In addition, eligible APs may cover endowment insurance voluntarily. See Table 3-10.

3.4 Summary The task force has found that: 1) Since the Project is linear in shape, the AHs will be affected slightly in general; 2) In the affected village groups, the percentage of agricultural income to gross income is low, and outside employment is the main income, so LA will have little impact on income; 3) Most APs think that the Project is beneficial, and support LA and the Project as long as compensation is reasonable, fair and timely.

4 Legal Framework and Policies In order to promote the resettlement work of the Project, and protect the lawful rights of the affected persons and entities, the resettlement policies of the Project have been developed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the PRC and Anhui Province, and the Bank policy ESS5. The resettlement work of the Project will be conducted in strict conformity with these policies, and any change should be approved by the Bank. 4.1 Objectives of Resettlement The resettlement objectives of the Project are: 1) Take engineering, technical and economic measures to minimize resettlement impacts, including: ➢ Conduct a socioeconomic survey and prepare an RAP at the preparation stage; ➢ Conduct resettlement based on the DMS results and the compensation rates to improve or at least restore the APs’ living standard; ➢ Advocate development-oriented resettlement to promote employment based on local secondary and tertiary industries; ➢ Establish a sound basic living security system for land-expropriated farmers. 2) Encourage the APs to participate in resettlement planning and implementation.

4.3 Key Principles According to the above resettlement policy framework, assets of those adversely affectedi will be compensated for at replacement costii, and assisted in restoring or exceeding their former living standard. The key principles for resettlement are as follows: ◆ Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs. ◆ The APs should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. ◆ The APs should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs. ◆ All affected properties should be compensated for at full replacement cost. ◆ The APs should receive full compensation or a resettlement site and subsidy before LA or HD. ◆ The borrower should raise resettlement funds, including contingencies. ◆ The cut-off date for the eligibility for compensation is date of LA and/or announcement. Any newly claimed land, newly built house or settlement in the project area by the APs after this date will not be entitled to compensation or subsidization. Any building constructed or tree planted purely for extra compensation will not be counted in. ◆ Houses should be compensated for at appraised price; if such appraised price is lower than the rate specified in the RAP, the latter should prevail.

4.4 Summary of Resettlement Policies of the Project 4.4.1 Permanent LA The resettlement principles, compensation rates, procedure and supervision mechanism for LA are based mainly on the Land Administration Law of the PRC, Regulations on the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC, Real Right Law of the PRC, Regulations on House Acquisition on State-owned Land and Compensation, Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28), Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition (APG [2015] No.24), Notice of the General Office of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses, Attachments and Young Crops on Acquired Collective Land (CMGO [2015] No.37), Reply of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses and Attachments on Acquired Collective Land (CMG [2018] No.75), and district / county policies.

i “Affected persons” mean persons affected in the following ways: 1) their livelihoods adversely affected; 2) their houses, land or other fixed or non-fixed assets are adversely affected, including temporary or permanent land occupation; 3) their productive resources are adversely affected; 4) their occupations or working or living areas are adversely affected. ii “Replacement cost” is defined as follows: For farmland, it means the market value of land with the same production potential or use as the affected land, plus land restoration and registration fees, and transaction tax; for urban land, it means the market value of land of the same size and use before demolition, plus registration fees and transaction tax, where public infrastructure and services should be equivalent to those in surrounding areas or better; for houses or other structures, it means construction material costs of a building of the same size and quality, or market costs of materials for building renovation, plus transport, contract execution and labor costs, registration fees and transaction tax, regardless of asset depreciation, value of residual items, and any appreciation of assets. In some areas, extra measures should be taken to realize full replacement under Part 6 and other provisions of OP4.12.

22

For the affected districts / counties, LA compensation is based on CMGO [2015] No.37: ➢ LA compensation will be paid directly to the AHs. After receiving compensation, the APs will enjoy priority in attending training organized by the civil affairs bureau, and those eligible may cover endowment insurance for LEFs voluntarily. ➢ Young crops and ground attachments will be compensated for by township governments / sub-district offices at actual value at a time. ➢ The compensation for acquired collective land will be used for infrastructure construction, production development and public welfare in principle, and the management and use program will be adopted by over 2/3 of the participants of the village congress, and approved by the township government. The compensation rates for houses and attachments on acquired collective land in SCMIP and Nanqiao District are based on the Reply of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses and Attachments on Acquired Collective Land (CMG [2018] No.75), and those in Lai’an and Quanjiao Counties based on the Notice of the General Office of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses, Attachments and Young Crops on Acquired Collective Land (CMGO [2015] No.37). 4.4.2 Permanent Occupation of State-owned Land The compensation rates for permanently occupied state-owned land are baed on the Notice of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Disclosing and Applying Updated Land Grades and Benchmark Land Prices of 2018, and Announcement of the Lai’an County Government on Updated Land Grades and Benchmark Land Prices in the County Town. See Table 5-5. 4.4.3 Temporary Land Occupation For temporary land occupation arising from the Project, the land user should enter into a temporary land use contract with the rural collective economic organization, and use compensation according to the contract. Compensation for temporary land occupation includes compensation for ground attachments and young crops, and land reclamation fees. The compensation for ground attachments and young crops during occupation and land restoration will be paid to proprietors; land reclamation fees will be used for land reclamation and field facility construction, as detailed below: ➢ The temporarily occupied land should be compensated for the actual period of occupation at AAOV in principle, where non-cultivated land or woodland should be compensated for as cultivated land. ➢ The user of the temporarily occupied land should use the land for the purpose specified in the contract, and should not construct any permanent building thereon. ➢ In order to minimize LA impacts on cultivation income, construction should be conducted after harvest or before sowing, and the AHs notified in advance. ➢ Upon expiry of the occupation period, the land user should return the land and restore it to the original condition. 4.4.4 Demolition of Residential Houses 1) The compensation rates for residential houses in SCMIP and Nanqiao District are based on the Reply of the Reply of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses and Attachments on Acquired Collective Land (CMG [2018] No.75), and those in Lai’an and Quanjiao Counties based on the Notice of the General Office of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses, Attachments and Young Crops on Acquired Collective Land (CMGO [2015] No.37). In addition to house compensation, each household affected by HD will also receive the following compensation: ➢ Compensation for house decoration and attachments: based on appraisal ➢ An early agreement signing reward will be granted within 30 days. If the AH signs an HD compensation agreement within the first 20 days, a reward of 15% of the value of the demolished house will be granted, and will decrease by 1.5% per day afterwards. ➢ Transition subsidy: In case of cash compensation, a transition subsidy will be granted at a time for 4 months; in case of property swap, a transition subsidy will be granted for the actual period of transition (11 yuan/m2 within 24 months after agreement signing, and 16 yuan/m2 beyond 24 months and up to the notified date of resettlement) plus double the moving subsidy. ➢ If the AH waives the size to which the resettled population is entitled wholly or partly, a cash

23

reward will be granted for the waived size at integrated cost. 2) In Lai’an County, the Compensation and Resettlement Program for House Demolition on Collective Land in Chahe New District (LGTZF [2017] No.50), and Some Policies on House Acquisition Certification of Lai’an County (LGTZF [2015] No.4) apply. ➢ In case of cash compensation, a transition subsidy for 4 months and the moving subsidy will be granted; in case of property swap, a transition subsidy for the actual period of transition and double the moving subsidy will be granted. The rates of the transition subsidy, moving subsidy, tree transplanting subsidy, house decoration and attachment compensation, and public facility compensation will be based on Some Policies on House Acquisition Certification of Lai’an County (LGTZF [2015] No.4). ➢ When there is any difference between the actual and contractual resettlement sizes, the price difference will be settled at the price specified in agreement. ➢ An early moving reward will be granted at 100 yuan/m2 (up to 18,000 yuan per household) if the AH signs an HD compensation agreement on or before the first day of the period specified in the HD announcement (10 days) and moves within the specified period, which will decrease by 10 yuan/m2 per day. If the AH does not sign an agreement within the period specified in the HD announcement, or fails to move on schedule, no early moving reward will be granted. In Lai’an County, there are two resettlement modes – property swap and cash compensation. Property swap ➢ In case of property swap, the government will purchase commercial housing for resettlement. ➢ The resettlement size of an AH will be calculated at 45m2 per capita, and the price difference between the demolished and resettlement houses settled. ➢ The part of the demolished house in excess of 45m2 per capita will be compensated for at replacement cost, and a house purchase subsidy of 500 yuan/m2 of the excess size will be granted if the size of the demolished house is 45-65m2 per capita; if the size of the demolished house is less than 45m2 per capita, the resettlement size will be made up to 45m2 per capita. ➢ The made-up size will be purchased by the AH at replacement cost; for the waived part of the resettlement size, cash compensation will be paid at replacement cost. Cash compensation ➢ In case of cash compensation, compensation will be appraised at replacement cost; a house purchase subsidy of 1,000 yuan/m2 will be granted if the size of the demolished house is 45m2 per capita or less, 500 yuan/m2 of the excess size if the size of the demolished house is 45-65m2 per capita, and none for the part in excess of 65m2 per capita. ➢ The land compensation and the resettlement subsidy will be fully paid to the APs at the specified rates, and the APs may continue to do their current jobs or develop individual operations after receipt. ➢ The government will establish a sound labor service system to provide assistance to the APs, such as opening the employment market and offering free skills training. ➢ All laborers affected by the Project will be resettled properly. 3) Quanjiao County is not affected by HD. 4.4.5 Demolition of Non-residential Properties 1) Non-residential properties on state-owned land Two stores will be demolished for the Project, which will be compensated for in cash, including property compensation, moving subsidy, compensation for losses from production or business suspension, etc. The non-residential properties demolished for the Project will be appraised by a qualified real estate appraisal agency based on prevailing benchmark prices disclosed by the government, and by reference to location, structure, building area, floor, decoration, etc. 2) Non-residential properties on collective land The Project does not involve any non-residential property on collective land. 4.4.6 Ground Attachments The ground attachments and special facilities affected by the Project will be reconstructed to the original function, size and standard as required, and the amount of compensation agreed on

24

with the proprietor of any special facility shall be paid or included in the construction budget of the Project. Some public facilities (e.g., electric wire poles and telegraph poles) will be relocated and restored by their proprietors (legal persons) under the coordination of the district government. Proprietors of ground attachments will be compensated directly at replacement cost. 4.4.7 Vulnerable Groups The vulnerable households affected by the Project will be subject to rural MLS. According to the Implementation Measures of Chuzhou City for Minimum Living Security for Rural Residents, the rural MLS standard was 270 yuan per capita per month in the first half of 2017. In Lai’an County, there are 3 MLS standards (340 yuan, 280 yuan and 235 yuan) based on poverty and disability levels.

4.5 Main Differences between Bank Policy and PRC Laws The Bank’s involuntary resettlement policy is highly similar with the PRC LA and HD policies in the following aspects: 1) Resettlement impacts should be minimized during project planning and design; 2) The living standard of the affected population should be restored and improved as soon as possible; 3) The resettlement policies should be open and transparent; 4) Public participation and consultation should be stressed during resettlement; 5) The compensation rates should be fixed and implemented according to law. However, there are still some differences, mainly including: 1) Compensation for land Difference: Bank policies require that compensation should be sufficient to offset any income loss, and restore long-term income-generating potential. Chinese standards are based on AAOV. Solution: An early-stage solution is to provide replacement land, which is hardly practical. Cash compensation is the preference of most people, though they cannot ensure the rational use of such compensation. Therefore, further technical support is needed to monitor the income of seriously affected households, especially those in vulnerable groups, and local governments should provide assistance to those in need. 2) Compensation and resettlement of vulnerable groups Difference: Bank policies require that special compensation is granted to all vulnerable groups, especially seriously affected households faced with impoverishment. Chinese provisions do not require social analysis, and compensation is based only on the amount of loss. Solution: Special funds are available to assist the vulnerable groups, who will be identified during the DMS. All measures have been specified in the RAP. 3) Consultation and disclosure Difference: Bank policies require APs are fully informed and consulted as soon as possible. Chinese provisions have improved the transparency of disclosure and compensation. However, APs still play a weak role in project decision-making, and the disclosure period is usually too short. Solution: Consultation has begun at the early stage (before and during the technical assistance). The Chuzhou PMO agrees to disclose the RAP to APs as required by the Bank. 4) Lack of legal title Difference: Bank policies require all demolished houses, whether lawful or not, should be compensated for at the same rates. According to Chinese laws, people without local registered residence are entitled to the same compensation as local people. In addition, prevailing Chinese laws stipulate that no compensation should be provided for the acquisition of illegally owned land and houses. Solution: For a Bank-financed project, all APs, whether lawful or not, whether having ownership or right of use, will be protected, and provided with compensation or assistance. 5) Resettlement monitoring, evaluation and reporting Difference: The Bank requires that internal and external resettlement monitoring be conducted. However, there is no such requirement in Chinese laws, expect for reservoir projects. Solution: Internal and external resettlement monitoring systems have been established for all Bank-financed projects, and this has been included in the RAP. The requirements for internal and external monitoring reporting are specified in the RAP.

6 Resettlement and Income Restoration 6.1 Objectives of Resettlement The objective of resettlement of the Project is to develop an action plan for restoration and restoration for those affected by the Project so that they benefit from the Project, and their living standard is improved or at least restored to the pre-project level.

6.2 Principles for Resettlement and Restoration Some principles for resettlement and rehabilitation have been developed according to the above objectives: 1) Production and income restoration a) The willingness of the APs should be respected, and their existing production and living traditions maintained; b) Resettlement rehabilitation programs should be tailored to LA impacts, and based on compensation rates for LA; c) Resettlement rehabilitation programs should be combined with group construction, resources development, economic development and environmental protection programs so as to ensure the sustainable development of the affected village groups and persons; and d) The standard of living of vulnerable groups adversely affected by the Project should be improved. 2) New house construction a) For HD, an AH may choose cash compensation or property swap; in case of property swap, the AH must be resident locally; if an AH is eligible for housing land out of the urban planning area, it may file an application. b) The housing land required for relocation will be allocated to the AH for free, and a moving subsidy granted. c) The period of rural new house construction is about two months; building materials from the demolished house will be available to the AH for free, and will not be deducted from the house compensation; d) The house compensation must be paid to the AH before relocation. e) When the AH is to build a larger or higher-quality new house, it will bear extra costs. f) During new house construction and relocation, the village committee and the township government will provide assistance to households in difficulty.

6.3 Restoration Programs for Permanent LA 6.3.1 Summary Restoration programs have been developed based on the degree of impact, availability of remaining land resources and expectations of the APs through consultation, as detailed below: 6.3.1.1 Cash compensation and allocation Cash compensation will be granted to the affected groups and households. In Nanqiao District and SCMIP, the LA compensation rate for farmland is 43,019 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), and that for construction and unused land 21,505 yuan/mu. In Quanjiao County and Shuikou Town, Lai’an County, the LA compensation rate for farmland is 39,270 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), and that for construction and unused land 20,685 yuan/mu. In Chahe Town, Lai’an County, the LA compensation rate for farmland is 41,370 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), and that for construction and unused land 20,685 yuan/mu. LA compensation

38

will be paid to the affected collective economic organization, and a village congress will be held to discuss the distribution mode. The following distribution modes exist in the affected villages: First, young crops are compensated for according to the Reply of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses and Attachments on Acquired Collective Land (CMG [2018] No.75). See Appendix 12. Second, the resettlement subsidy and land compensation are fully paid to the AHs without being withheld by the village committee, and without land reallocation, and the compensation for young crops and ground attachments is paid to the AHs. Third – represented by Shizi Town, Quanjiao County, the resettlement subsidy and land compensation are fully paid to the affected group, and distributed between the group and the group members at a certain percentage through discussion at a village congress. 6.3.1.2 Agricultural development Due to local social, economic and natural restraints, most of the affected groups have per capita cultivated areas of less than 3 mu before LA. In the Project, no affected group will have a land loss rate of over 30%, 84 AHs will have land loss rates of 10%-20%, and the other 88 AHs will have land loss rates of less than 10%. Since the Project is linear in shape, and mostly involves existing road expansion or reconstruction, each AH will be affected slightly. Therefore, the AHs will have most of their land, and agricultural development is a means of livelihood restoration. The following agricultural development measures have been identified for the Project – demonstrative cotton cultivation, green vegetable cultivation and characteristic aquaculture, which are expected to increase agricultural income by 20%: 1) Demonstrative cotton cultivation: Demonstrative households will use new techniques and measures to increase the unit output of cotton fields, with expected annual income of 30,000-50,000 yuan/mu; 2) Green vegetable cultivation: Green vegetables will be cultivated in steel structure greenhouses, with expected annual income of 5,000-10,000 yuan/mu; 3) Characteristic aquaculture: Large-scale aquaculture will be developed, including crab and puffer fish, etc., with expected annual income of 20,000-35,000 yuan per household. 6.3.1.3 Employment 1) Guidance A special job fair will be organized for LEFs, and assistance in employment, labor protection and law provided to them to promote their nonagricultural employment. 2) Jobs generated by the Project The Project will generate 2,250 temporary jobs annually during construction (48 months), including 750 skilled jobs and 1,500 unskilled ones, and 1,350 permanent jobs at the operation and maintenance stage after completion, including 850 unskilled jobs and 500 skilled ones. Jobs generated at the construction and operation stages will be first made available to LEFs to promote their employment, such as road maintenance and cleaning. 3) Skills training 360 men-times of free skills training will be offered to the APs. a) Trainees Laborers affected by LA or HD, having attained 18 years, and with a certain educational level b) Scope of training Agricultural skills training will cover fine vegetable cultivation and natural freshwater aquaculture. Nonagricultural skills training will cover cooking, sewing, housekeeping, driving, wire and cable making, etc.

In addition, farmers working outside will be trained on urban life, protection of rights and interests, work safety, disaster prevention and relief, state employment policy, etc. c) Organizational arrangements Training will be offered by the IA, and the district / county labor and social security bureaus. 6.3.1.4 Endowment insurance for LEFs 1) Scope and subjects According to the Guidelines of the Anhui Provincial Government on Doing a Good Job in the Employment Training and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers (APG [2005] No.63) (see Appendix 17), subjects include agricultural population within the urban planning area losing all or most of farmland after LA approved according to law, and agricultural population out of the urban planning area having no basic production and living conditions, or with a per capita cultivated area of less than 0.3 mu after LA approved according to law, or no longer having farmland after voluntary land reallocation within the rural collective economic organization or not subject to non-local resettlement by the local government. 2) Measures a) LEFs having attained 16 years will be guided to cover basic endowment insurance for urban employees. If LEFs aged 45 years or less for men or 40 years or less for women at the time of LA cover basic endowment insurance for urban employees, the government will grant a one-time subsidy of 4,000 yuan per capita; if LEFs aged above 45 years for men or 40 years for women at the time of LA cover basic endowment insurance for urban employees, the government will grant a one-time subsidy of 8,000 yuan per capita. b) LEFs aged above 45 years for men or 40 years for women at the time of LA will be encouraged to pay premiums for 15 years at 40% of the local urban MLS standard at a time; LEFs aged above 60 years will pay premiums for one year less per year elder (any period of less than 6 months is ignored, and any period of 6 months or more but less than one year is counted as one year) but not less than 5 years, where 80% of the total amount will be borne by the individual and 20% by the government, and a pension will be paid based on the local urban MLS standard from the following month. c) Eligible LEFs may also pay 6,600 yuan, 3,600 yuan or 0 yuan at a time to receive a subsidy of 340 yuan, 300 yuan or 260 yuan monthly when attaining the specified age. 3) Funding sources A pooling fund of basic endowment insurance for LEFs will be established, and its funding sources include: ➢ Not less than 2% will be drawn from state-owned land transfer income as the government contribution; ➢ 24% will be drawn from land compensation (80% of the amount withheld by the collective) as the collective contribution; and ➢ Any deficiency will be made up by the local government. 4) Subject identification LEFs will file an application, and the list of candidates will be discussed by the village committee, disclosed in the township or sub-district, reviewed by the labor and social security or land and resources bureau, and then submitted to the district / county government for approval.

6.3.2 Restoration Programs for Affected Villages / Communities 6.3.2.1 Summary 632.48 mu of collective land in 18 groups of 12 villages/communities will be acquired, including 402.82 mu of cultivated land (63.69%), 0.18 mu of traffic land (0.03%), 219.47 mu of housing land (34.70%), and 10.01 mu of water surface and water facility land (1.58%). Since the Project is linear in shape, and mostly involves existing road expansion or reconstruction, 5 groups will have relatively higher land loss rates (5.87%-21.82%), while the land loss rates of the other 12 groups are below 5%. In addition, income loss rates are as low as 0.006%-6.44%. Therefore, LA will have little impact on agricultural production and income. According to the survey, almost all AHs support the Project, and prefer cash compensation, because this mode is easy to operate and flexible. The AHs will invest cash compensation in commerce, crop cultivation, aquaculture and skills training mainly. 6.3.2.2 Restoration Program for Slightly Affected Groups The 18 slightly affected groups will be subject to cash compensation. Compensation will be paid directly and timely to the AHs based on the LA compensation rates and land loss, and in strict conformity with the state and local policies. 1) The compensation rates for young crops in SCMIP and Nanqiao District are based on the Reply of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses and Attachments on Acquired Collective Land (CMG [2018] No.75), and those in Lai’an and Quanjiao Counties based on the Notice of the General Office of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses, Attachments and Young Crops on Acquired Collective Land (CMGO [2015] No.37). 2) The resettlement subsidy and land compensation are fully paid to the AHs without being withheld by the village committee, and without land reallocation, and the compensation for young crops and ground attachments is paid to the AHs. 3) In Quanjiao County, the land, young crop and attachment compensation is fully paid to the village collective to conduct agricultural or nonagricultural income-generating activities. 6.3.2.3 Restoration Program for Seriously Affected Groups There is no seriously affected group. 6.3.2.4 Resettlement Program for Fishpond Contractor Two fishponds will be affected by the Project, namely a 2 mu fishpond contracted by Zhao Dacheng’s family in Gaoqiao Village in Quanjiao County and a 1.8 mu fishpond of the collective of Chentang Village in Lai’an County, in which few domestic fishes are raised, with annual income of 3,000-4,000 yuan/mu. These two fishponds will be affected partly, and Zhao Dacheng’s family will be assisted in leasing water surface for aquaculture if it wishes so. Therefore, the family’s income will be fully restored after reasonable compensation is granted.

6.4 Restoration Program for HD Rural residential houses of 29,222 m2 will be demolished for the Project, affecting 208 households with 655 persons. The demolished houses have such problems as unsound indoor facilities, aged structure, and poor day-lighting and ventilation to varying degrees, and the nearby infrastructure is also poor. HD will provide an opportunity for housing condition and environment improvement. The following resettlement program has been developed in consultation with the APs: 1) In Nanqiao District and SCMIP, in addition to house compensation, each household affected by HD will also receive the following compensation:

41

➢ Compensation for house decoration and attachments: based on appraisal ➢ An early agreement signing reward will be granted within 30 days. If the AH signs an HD compensation agreement within the first 20 days, a reward of 15% of the value of the demolished house will be granted, and will decrease by 1.5% per day afterwards. ➢ Transition subsidy: In case of cash compensation, a transition subsidy will be granted at a time for 4 months; in case of property swap, a transition subsidy will be granted for the actual period of transition (11 yuan/m2 within 24 months after agreement signing, and 16 yuan/m2 beyond 24 months and up to the notified date of resettlement) plus double the moving subsidy. ➢ If the AH waives the size to which the resettled population is entitled wholly or partly, a cash reward will be granted for the waived size at integrated cost. ➢ The AH may choose either cash compensation or property swap. 2) In Lai’an County, the Compensation and Resettlement Program for House Demolition on Collective Land in Chahe New District (LGTZF [2017] No.50), and Some Policies on House Acquisition Certification of Lai’an County (LGTZF [2015] No.4) apply. ➢ In case of cash compensation, a transition subsidy for 4 months and the moving subsidy will be granted; in case of property swap, a transition subsidy for the actual period of transition and double the moving subsidy will be granted. The rates of the transition subsidy, moving subsidy, tree transplanting subsidy, house decoration and attachment compensation, and public facility compensation will be based on Some Policies on House Acquisition Certification of Lai’an County (LGTZF [2015] No.4). ➢ When there is any difference between the actual and contractual resettlement sizes, the price difference will be settled at the price specified in agreement. ➢ An early moving reward will be granted at 100 yuan/m2 (up to 18,000 yuan per household) if the AH signs an HD compensation agreement on or before the first day of the period specified in the HD announcement (10 days) and moves within the specified period, which will decrease by 10 yuan/m2 per day. If the AH does not sign an agreement within the period specified in the HD announcement, or fails to move on schedule, no early moving reward will be granted. ➢ In case of property swap, each AH may purchase an additional resettlement size of 45m2, including 20m2 at overall cost and 25m2 at a preferential price. The part of the additional resettlement size in excess of 45m2 will be purchased at market price. ➢ The resettlement site for Chentang Village in Lai’an County is Daya Community, which boasts convenient traffic and complete public infrastructure, and will be completed in 2020. The resettlement site for Xinhe Village is Xiwang Garden, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2019. See Appendix 11. 3) Quanjiao County is not affected by HD.

6.5 Restoration Program for Stores The Project will affect 4 entities, which are Zhou Quan’s sand yard in Nanqiao District, Xingmai Farm in Quanjiao County, and Lanniao Fitness Club and Xue’s Hardware & Machinery in Lai’an County. 1) Zhou Quan’s sand yard is an individual business with 10 employees, a floor area of 25 mu and an annual turnover of about 500,000 yuan, and about 15 mu of its land will be occupied. There is no land available in Zhugang Village, Yaopu Town, Nanqiao District, so the business owner will decide at a later stage where to continue his business after receiving compensation.

42

2) Xingmai Farm has an annual turnover of about 200,000 yuan, and 50 mu of its land will be occupied. The farm will continue to operate. 3) Lanniao Fitness Club is a fitness place that also sells fitness apparatus, with an annual turnover of about 170,000 yuan, an annual rental of 50,000-60,000 yuan, and 4 employees. After demolition, it will open elsewhere, and its employees will continue to work here. 4) Xue’s Hardware & Machinery is run by a couple, with an annual turnover of about 150,000 yuan, and will be reopened after demolition. See Table 2-8. The compensation rates for young crops in SCMIP and Nanqiao District are based on the Reply of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses and Attachments on Acquired Collective Land (CMG [2018] No.75), and those in Lai’an and Quanjiao Counties based on the Notice of the General Office of the Chuzhou Municipal Government on Adjusting Compensation Rates for Houses, Attachments and Young Crops on Acquired Collective Land (CMGO [2015] No.37). See Appendix 13.

6.6 Restoration Program for Infrastructure and Attachments All facilities affected by the Project will be relocated or restored by proprietors. The 120 tombs in Shuikou Town, Lai’an County affected by LA will be relocated to the public cemetery in Shuikou Town with no charge as agreed by all affected households, and moving subsidies will be paid. Restoration measures for affected traffic infrastructure must be planned and arranged in advance and suited to local conditions, so that such measures are safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and their adverse impact on nearby residents is minimized. Affected special facilities will be demolished according to the construction drawings without affecting project construction and with minimum amount of relocation. Affected pipelines will be rebuilt before demolition (or relocated) without affecting regular lives of residents along such pipelines (including those not to be relocated).

6.7 Supporting Measures for Vulnerable Groups 9 households with 17 persons affected by the Project fall into vulnerable groups, mainly including MLS households and five-guarantee households. During resettlement, the Chuzhou PMO and the local governments will pay particular attention to vulnerable groups. In addition to resettlement hereunder, they will also receive certain assistance to improve their production and living conditions, including: 1) Two members (at least one woman) of each AH will receive skills training and employment information, and have priority in receiving jobs generated by the Project. 2) The local government will grant pensions. 3) The IA will establish a special support fund to provide assistance to vulnerable groups in cooperation with the district / county labor and social security bureaus. 4) Seriously affected households with land loss rates of over 20% will have priority in receiving jobs generated by the Project, and attending agricultural and nonagricultural training.

43

6.8 Resettlement Training Training needs depend on which resettlement mode is chosen. In order to ensure that the APs change the traditional employment concept, build up a proper sense of occupation and master necessary labor skills, the IA will give training to them together with the district / county labor and social security bureaus. It is learned that most of the affected laborers are willing to attend skills training on vehicle operation and repair, construction, cooking, trading, greenhouse cultivation, poultry breeding, aquaculture, etc. Therefore, a special skills training program for LEFs affected by LA for the Project has been developed. At the implementation stage, the district / county governments and Chuzhou PMO will offer different training courses to the APs based on local industrial and service development, and labor demand. The Chuzhou PMO will assess farmers’ needs for employment skills and offer all training courses for free. Such training will mitigate negative impacts of LA on farmers and enhance their capacity to restore livelihoods. At least two members (one male and one female if possible) of each AH will be trained. The township labor and social security offices will be responsible for the skills training and reemployment of the LEFs, develop a training program and set up training courses scientifically. Training will be subject to semiannual reporting, and the training program will be adjusted timely based on employment needs. All APs may attend such training for free. A training program for the APs has been prepared. See Tables 6-2 and 6-3.

The training program will be disclosed in the affected villages.

6.9 Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests At the RAP preparation stage, local women took an active part in the DMS, and were consulted about ideas on income restoration programs. Women support the Project, and think the Project will improve public traffic, and promote local economic and social development. Through the Project,

44

women will receive jobs, and training on crop cultivation, stockbreeding, industrial skills, catering, etc. Unskilled jobs generated by the Project at the construction and operation stages will be first made available to women. In addition, women will receive equal pay for equal work like men do. However, employment of child labor is prohibited. Women will receive agricultural and nonagricultural skills training, where not less than 50% of the trainees should be women (182 men-times). Women will receive relevant information during resettlement and may participate in public consultation. A special FGD with women will be held to introduce resettlement policies and improve women’s awareness.

48

Project will be linked up with the construction schedule; the main part of LA, HD and resettlement will begin in April 2019 and end in July 2020. The basic principles of scheduling are as follows: 1) The LA, HD and resettlement work shall be completed at least one month before the commencement of construction so that the APs have sufficient time to prepare for production resettlement and income restoration; 2) During resettlement, the APs should have opportunities to participate in the Project; the range of LA should be published, the Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) issued, and public participation should be carried out before the commencement of construction; 3) All kinds of compensation should be paid directly to the affected proprietors within 3 months from the date of approval of the RAP; no organization or individual should use property compensation fees on their behalf, and such compensation should not be discounted for any reason. The overall resettlement schedule of the Project has been drafted according to the progress of preparation and implementation of LA, HD and resettlement. The times listed in the table are subject to adjustment with actual progress. See Table 7-3.

8.2 Grievance Redress 8.2.2 Grievance Redress Procedure Since public participation is encouraged during the preparation and implementation of this RP, no substantial dispute will arise. However, unforeseeable circumstances may arise during this process. In order to address issues effectively, and ensure the successful implementation of project construction and LA, a transparent and effective grievance redress mechanism has been established. The basic grievance redress mechanism is as follows: Stage 1: If any right of any AP is infringed on in any aspect of LA and resettlement, he/she may report this to the village committee, which shall record such appeal and solve it together with the village committee or the AP within two weeks. Stage 2: If the appellant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the Chuzhou PMO within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 3: If the appellant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to the Project Leading Group within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 4: If the appellant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may bring a suit in a civil court directly in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the PRC. At any stage, an AP may bring a suit in a civil court directly if he/she is dissatisfied with the grievance redress procedure or disposition.

51

If any AP may also file an appeal with the Office of the Special Facilitator or Compliance Review Panel of the Bank in accordance with the Bank’s accountability mechanism. All grievances, oral or written, will be reported to the Bank in internal and external resettlement monitoring reports. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingencies. During the whole construction period of the Project, these appeal procedures will remain effective to ensure that the APs can use them to address relevant issues. The above grievance redress mechanism will be communicated to the APs at a meeting or through the RIB, so that the APs know their right of appeal. In addition, the appeal process will be published to the affected population on mass media. 8.2.3 Recording and Feedback of Grievances and Appeals During the implementation of the RAP, the resettlement agencies should register and manage appeal and handling information, and submit such information to the local PMOs, which will inspect the registration of appeal and handling information regularly. See Table 8-3.

Table 8-3 Grievance Registration Form Accepting agency: Time: Location: Proposed Appellant Appeal Expected solution Actual handling solution

Recorder Appellant (signature) (signature) Notes: 1. The recorder should record the appeal and request of the appellant factually. 2. The appeal process should not be interfered with or hindered whatsoever. 3. The proposed solution should be notified to the appellant within the specified time.

10.1.1 Procedure For internal monitoring, a normative, smooth top-down resettlement information management system should be established among CIRC, the IA and resettlement agencies concerned to track and reflect the progress of resettlement, including the progress, quality and funding of resettlement, and collate and analyze such information. The following measures have been taken in the Project to implement internal monitoring: 1) Normative statistical reporting system CIRC and the IA will develop uniform report forms to reflect the progress of disbursement of resettlement funds and LA. Such forms will be submitted monthly.

2) Regular or irregular reporting Information on issues arising from resettlement will be exchanged in various forms between the resettlement agencies and the external M&E agency. 3) Regular meeting During resettlement implementation, CIRC will hold resettlement coordination meetings regularly to discuss and handle issues arising from project and resettlement implementation, exchange experience and study solutions. 4) Inspection

56

CIRC will conduct routine and non-routine inspection on the resettlement work of the IA and the resettlement agencies, handle resettlement issues on site, and verify the progress of resettlement and the implementation of resettlement policies. 5) Exchange of information with the external M&E agency CIRC and the IA will keep routine contact with the IA and the external M&E agency, and take findings and opinions of the external M&E agency as a reference for internal monitoring. 10.2.2 Interval and Reporting Internal monitoring is a continuous process, in which comprehensive monitoring activities will be conduct at least semiannually; more frequent monitoring is required at key times. Internal monitoring reports will be submitted by the resettlement agencies to the IA and CIRC. CIRC will compile relevant data and information, and submit an internal monitoring report to the Bank semiannually.

10.2 External Monitoring According to the Bank’s requirement, CIRC will appoint a qualified, independent agency experienced in Bank-financed projects as the external M&E agency. The external M&E staff should: 1) have participated in similar tasks, have rich experience in socioeconomic survey, and understand the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement, and the state and local regulations and policies on resettlement; 2) be able to conduct socioeconomic survey independently, have good communication skills, and be tough; and 3) include a certain percentage of females. The external M&E agency will conduct follow-up M&E of resettlement activities periodically, monitor resettlement progress, quality and funding, and give advice. It will also conduct follow-up monitoring of the APs’ production level and living standard, and submit M&E reports to CIRC and the Bank. 10.2.1 Scope and Procedure 1) Baseline survey The external M&E agency will conduct a baseline survey of the affected villages and village groups affected by LA to obtain baseline data on the monitored APs’ production level and living standard. The production level and living standard survey will be conducted semiannually to track variations. This survey will be conducted using such methods as panel survey (sample size: 20% of the households affected by LA, to be sampled randomly; 50% of the affected entities), random interview and field observation to acquire necessary information. A statistical analysis and an evaluation will be made on this basis. 2) Periodic M&E During the implementation of the RAP, the external M&E agency will conduct periodic follow-up resettlement monitoring semiannually of the following activities by means of field observation, panel survey and random interview: ➢ Payment and amount of compensation fees; ➢ Preparation and sufficiency of the new resettlement site; ➢ House reconstruction; ➢ Relocation of the APs; ➢ Training; ➢ Support for vulnerable groups; ➢ Restoration and rebuilding of infrastructure and special facilities; ➢ Production resettlement and restoration; ➢ Compensation for lost assets;

57

➢ Compensation for lost working hours; ➢ Timetables of the above activities (applicable at any time); ➢ Resettlement organization; ➢ Use of compensation fees for collective land and income of APs; ➢ Income growth of labor through employment; and ➢ If APs have benefited from the Project 3) Public consultation The external M&E agency will attend public consultation meetings held during resettlement implementation to evaluate the effectiveness of public participation. 4) Grievance redress The external M&E agency will visit the affected villages and groups periodically, and inquire the resettlement agencies that accept grievances about how grievances have been handled. It will also meet complainants and propose corrective measures and advice for existing issues so as to make the resettlement process more effective. 10.2.2 Reporting The external M&E agency will prepare external monitoring reports based on observations and survey data in order to: 1) reflect the progress of resettlement and existing issues to the Bank and the project owner objectively; and 2) evaluate the socioeconomic benefits of resettlement, and propose constructive opinions and suggestions to improve the resettlement work. A routine monitoring report should at least include the following: 1) subjects of monitoring; 2) progress of resettlement; 3) key monitoring findings; 4) key existing issues; and 5) basic opinions and suggestions. The external M&E agency will submit a monitoring or evaluation report to the Bank and CIRC semiannually. See Error! Reference source not found..

Appendix 8: Gender Analysis Form Part A—Gender analysis of rural women in the project area 1. Legal rights of According to laws of the PRC, women have equal legal rights with men, though some women are not women fully aware of this. 2. Social status of Local women have relatively good social status. All key matters of a family are determined by the women couple through discussion. Men are the backbone of families, and attend the important village meetings. However, women can influence men when they make decisions at meetings. 3. Title to land and Women have the same title as men. Like other parts of China, in the project area, when a daughter is properties married, her land will remain in her mother’s family and she can only share the land owned by her husband’s family since the household contract responsibility system was implemented in 1982. If LA, HD or resettlement is involved, women will have equal rights to compensation. 4. Right to collective Women have equal rights. properties 5. Living and There is no restriction on gender role. However, women do housework and appropriate farm work gender role mainly in Chinese rural areas, while men mostly do farm work or work outside. Generally, women’s working time is 1.2 times that of men, and many young women also work outside. 6. Contribution to Women’s income is from farming and household sideline operations mainly, accounting for about 25% household income of household income. 7. Family status Women have an equal voice in decision-making; when men are away for work, women make decisions themselves in many aspects. 8. Educational level Boys and girls enjoy equal opportunities in receiving education, and as long as children study hard, their parents would do their best to support their school education. 9. Health Women’s health condition is quite good and there is no significant difference in nutrition level compared to men; however, medical expenses are rising and have become a significant burden for some households, and women may suffer more. 10. Village and Women are represented in all village committees. In addition, women have a good informal network in government the village and the village group. Women may participate in the election of the village committee, and agencies have the right to elect and be elected. Overall evaluation Women enjoy a good status in the project area, and there is no restriction on gender role. and key risks B—Gender analysis of women during resettlement Gender issue Concern/risk Impact of the Subproject Mitigation measures 1.
