Assessment of Development Objective and Design, and of Quality at Entry 3.1 Original Objective: The Project's main objective was to help alleviate poverty in 20 of the poorest counties of Yuncheng and Luliang Prefectures in Shanxi Province. The Project included a range of activities aimed at raising incomes for about 3 million poor through rehabilitation of an existing irrigation system, improvements of rural roads and construction of village water supplies, land development, expansion of livestock raising and horticulture, and expansion of primary agricultural processing capacity. 3.2 Revised Objective: There was no change in the Project’s objective. 3.3 Original Components: The original components included: a) the improvement of the Yuncheng Irrigation System commanding an area of 123,000ha, b) the development of some 13,000ha river beach-land along the Yellow River, c) the construction of village water supply schemes, d) rural roads, e) soil and water conservation including terracing, afforestation and check dam construction, f) horticulture development, g) livestock raising, h) expansion of agro-processing, i) targeted support to women households, and j) project management support and training. This relatively broad mix of components was designed to address short-, medium- and long-term income generating options to achieve the Project objective, and the mix of components took into account the differences in natural resource endowment between the two project areas. Yuncheng prefecture has large areas of flat, fertile land, whereas Luliang prefecture is hilly with few tracts of flat irrigated land. Thus the irrigation and river beach-land development were appropriate for Yuncheng only, while the soil and water conservation component was suited to the upland areas of Luliang. 3.4 Revised Components: No components were dropped or added, however, the relative importance of components was adjusted in response to emerging economic opportunities during the project implementation. When the Project started national food security and grain production was still high on the political agenda, while over time concerns over farm income gained overriding importance. Consequently higher value cash commodities gained importance over irrigated wheat and corn and the respective Yuncheng irrigation component was reduced in favor of the horticulture and livestock components. This process was accelerated by significant improvements in communication infrastructure (such as information systems and roads including a new expressway system), which greatly enhanced the market prospects for high value farm products. This also led to the inclusion of a large number of greenhouses in the horticulture component for production of fresh vegetables. 3.5 Quality at Entry: Quality at Entry was satisfactory. The Project objectives were consistent with the Bank’s CAS in China, which called for sustainable agricultural development in impoverished and environmentally vulnerable areas and for diversified agricultural production; and with the Government's long term policies which focus on increased production, income generation and employment creation in rural areas. Project design incorporated valuable experience and lessons learned from other Bank- and non-Bank financed land and water development projects in Shanxi Province. The Project also fully addressed the Bank's safeguard policies in project design. - 2 - 4. Achievement of Objective and Outputs 4.1 Outcome/achievement of objective: The overall outcome of the Project is rated satisfactory. Most components were completed ahead of the schedule envisaged in the SAR with the main physical targets of many components being exceeded. An estimated 4.1 million people1 directly benefited from the Project as compared to an SAR expectation of 3 million beneficiaries. Farmers’ incomes per capita in constant 1995 prices increased from Y 480 to Y 1,217, which also exceeds the SAR expectation of Y 700 by far. The development objective of the Project is clearly achieved. The success of the Project was supported by the favorable economic development in the country. However, the broad mix of components in the Project that addressed both short and medium-term income opportunities have proved to be the right choice to take advantage of this supportive overall economic environment. The priority areas such as livestock, high value fruit and vegetable crops, and value added processing together with improved rural infrastructure, proved to be forward looking at the time when this Project was designed ten years ago. It was only much later, when these became priority areas in the restructuring and reorganization of the agricultural sector in China. The Project has timely and flexibly addressed emerging opportunities and challenges from the opening of the Chinese markets and the changing food consumption pattern of a wealthier urban population. Adjustments made during the Mid-term Review have further focused the Project in this direction. The horticulture component was significantly increased, new elements such as greenhouses for fresh vegetable production and new livestock activities like dairy production and deer raising were included in the Project. This made this Project not only valuable by its direct poverty reduction impact in the 20 poor project counties, but the Project also provides lessons for agricultural restructuring and farm income generation in general. The Project demonstrates successful investment opportunities in agriculture using medium- to long-term loans, which can easily be scaled up in other

  • Evaluation of Sustainable Development of Resources-Based Cities in Shanxi Province Based on Unascertained Measure
    sustainability Article Evaluation of Sustainable Development of Resources-Based Cities in Shanxi Province Based on Unascertained Measure Yong-Zhi Chang and Suo-Cheng Dong * Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-64889430; Fax: +86-10-6485-4230 Academic Editor: Marc A. Rosen Received: 31 March 2016; Accepted: 16 June 2016; Published: 22 June 2016 Abstract: An index system is established for evaluating the level of sustainable development of resources-based cities, and each index is calculated based on the unascertained measure model for 11 resources-based cities in Shanxi Province in 2013 from three aspects; namely, economic, social, and resources and environment. The result shows that Taiyuan City enjoys a high level of sustainable development and integrated development of economy, society, and resources and environment. Shuozhou, Changzhi, and Jincheng have basically realized sustainable development. However, Yangquan, Linfen, Lvliang, Datong, Jinzhong, Xinzhou and Yuncheng have a low level of sustainable development and urgently require a transition. Finally, for different cities, we propose different countermeasures to improve the level of sustainable development. Keywords: resources-based cities; sustainable development; unascertained measure; transition 1. Introduction In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) proposed the concept of “sustainable development”. In 1996, the first official reference to “sustainable cities” was raised at the Second United Nations Human Settlements Conference, namely, as being comprised of economic growth, social equity, higher quality of life and better coordination between urban areas and the natural environment [1].
