EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. The Project 1. The project comprises: (i) regional roads development that includes reconstruction of Ning’er-Jiangcheng-Longfu Highway (234.07 km), and of Menglian-Meng’A Highway (48.75 km) that also includes construction of Meng’a Port Material Transit Centre (MTC); (ii) rural access improvement, including 33 rural earth roads (600 km) upgrade to paved class IV, village road sport improvement, rural road maintenance and rural transport services; and (iii) institutional strengthening, including road safety. The proposed project will contribute to inclusive growth and regional integration by improving rural area connectivity in poor areas and providing regional links with the border with Vietnam, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic, and Myanmar. The EMDP is prepared based on the project feasibility study report (FSR) and preliminary design which is very detailed. The Project is following, to a large extent, the existing road alignments and no major changes are envisaged following the project final design. This EMDP will, therefore, be treated as final unless there are some major design changes during the detail design. Following the completion of detail design ADB will be informed whether an update of the Plan is required or the current draft should be treated as final. B. Legal and Policy Framework 2. The EMDP specifies mitigation and enhancement measures to comply with Asian Development Bank's (ADB's) Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), Safeguard Requirement No. 3 on indigenous peoples, PRC ethnic policy requirement of national unity, ethnic solidarity, ethnic equality and mutual respect, and Yunnan 12th five year Planning for Promoting Economic and Social Development of Ethnic Peoples and their Regions (Yun Zheng Fa [2011] No. 163)An Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP) has been prepared by the Municipal Government (PMG), the Project Executing Agency in coordination with Pu’er Municipal Transport Bureau (PMTB)—the implementing agency (IA) for the project. 3. The EMDP is designed to ensure that project benefits are distributed equitably among affected minority communities and individuals, and that culturally appropriate measures are taken to (i) avoid or mitigate adverse impacts, and (ii) enhance benefits for ethnic minorities. The Project will ensure that ethnic minorities are consulted in matters related to each project output, and provided with opportunities to participate in decision making and/or implementation activities. During the consultations at project preparatory stage, the EMs population in the PA welcomes the proposed road development project that includes a total of 33 rural roads upgrading, Ning’er-Jiangcheng-Longfu highway rehabilitation and Menglian-Meng’a highway reconstruction, and express the wish of starting the project as early as possible. For the Ning’er- Jiangcheng-Longfu road, the re-alignment sections are particularly welcomed by the EMs along the re-alignment sections for the road’s large potential to benefits the cash crop development and marketing and improving access to Jiangcheng, Ning’er and Simao town centres. Details of consultation and participation during the project preparation and implementation stages are provided under the Consultation and Participation Plan in the EMDP. C. Impact Assessment and Action Plan 4. The social and poverty analysis undertaken to prepare this EMDP has assessed and described the circumstances of the EMs and the anticipated poverty and social, cultural and religious impacts from the project. The project relates to upgrading of the already existing roads and the potential socio-cultural and religious impacts resulting from the project are assessed as minimal and adequate measures are developed to deal with these under the plan. Adequate 2 7 provisions to enhance the economic benefits for vulnerable groups, including ethnic minorities, 2 the poor and women have been integrated in the project design. Provisions for special mitigation measures relating to land acquisition and resettlement have been included in the resettlement plans (RP), 1 which will help ensure that vulnerable groups, including ethnic minorities adversely affected by loss of land or housing will be compensated for their loss of assets. Current governmental policies and programs for ethnic minorities, including protection of ethnic minority cultural and religious practices, further help protect and enhance project benefits to ethnic minority peoples. In addition to the Meng’a Highway , Ning’er-Jiangcheng-Longfu Highway construction and border trade facilities, most transport related community needs such as rural road improvements, sub-village spot improvement, rural road maintenance, rural transport services have been included in the project rural access improvement component. This EMDP presents (i) distinctive cultural and social features of different ethnic minorities

  • Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: the Emergence of the Yunnanese
    Between Winds and Clouds Bin Yang Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: The Emergence of the Yunnanese Introduction As the state began sending soldiers and their families, predominantly Han Chinese, to Yunnan, 1 the Ming military presence there became part of a project of colonization. Soldiers were joined by land-hungry farmers, exiled officials, and profit-driven merchants so that, by the end of the Ming period, the Han Chinese had become the largest ethnic population in Yunnan. Dramatically changing local demography, and consequently economic and cultural patterns, this massive and diverse influx laid the foundations for the social makeup of contemporary Yunnan. The interaction of the large numbers of Han immigrants with the indigenous peoples created a 2 new hybrid society, some members of which began to identify themselves as Yunnanese (yunnanren) for the first time. Previously, there had been no such concept of unity, since the indigenous peoples differentiated themselves by ethnicity or clan and tribal affiliations. This chapter will explore the process that led to this new identity and its reciprocal impact on the concept of Chineseness. Using primary sources, I will first introduce the indigenous peoples and their social customs 3 during the Yuan and early Ming period before the massive influx of Chinese immigrants. Second, I will review the migration waves during the Ming Dynasty and examine interactions between Han Chinese and the indigenous population. The giant and far-reaching impact of Han migrations on local society, or the process of sinicization, that has drawn a lot of scholarly attention, will be further examined here; the influence of the indigenous culture on Chinese migrants—a process that has won little attention—will also be scrutinized.

  • THAILAND Submission to the CERD Committee Coalition on Racial
    Shadow Report on Eliminating Racial Discrimination: THAILAND Submission to the CERD Committee 1 Coalition on Racial Discrimination Watch Preamble: 1. “ We have a distinct way of life, settlement and cultivation practices that are intricately linked with nature, forests and wild life. Our ways of life are sustainable and nature friendly and these traditions and practices have been taught and passed on from one generation to the next. But now because of State policies and waves of modernisation we are struggling to preserve and maintain our traditional ways of life” Mr. Joni Odochao, Intellectual, Karen ethnic, Opening Speech at the Indigenous Peoples Day Festival in Chiangmai, Northern Thailand 2007 Introduction on Indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in Thailand 1 The coalition was established as a loose network at the Workshop Programme on 5th July 2012 on the Shadow Report on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) organised by the Ethnic Studies and Development Center, Sociology Faculty, Chiangmai University in cooperation with Cross Cultural Foundation and the Highland Peoples Taskforce 1 2. The Network of Indigenous Peoples in Thailand2, in the International Working Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) yearbook on 2008, explained the background of indigenous peoples in Thailand. The indigenous people of Thailand are most commonly referred to as “hill tribes”, sometimes as “ethnic minorities”, and the ten officially recognised ethnic groups are usually called “chao khao” (meaning “hill/mountain people” or “highlanders”). These and other indigenous people live in the North and North-western parts of the country. A few other indigenous groups live in the North-east and indigenous fishing communities and a small population of hunter-gatherers inhabit the South of Thailand.

  • Title Blocking the Path of Feral Pigs with Rotten Bamboo : the Role of Upland Peoples in the Crisis of a Tay Polity in Southwest
    Blocking the Path of Feral Pigs with Rotten Bamboo : The Title Role of Upland Peoples in the Crisis of a Tay Polity in Southwest Yunnan, 1792 to 1836 Author(s) Daniels, Christian Citation Southeast Asian Studies (2013), 2(1): 133-170 Issue Date 2013-04 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/173781 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Blocking the Path of Feral Pigs with Rotten Bamboo: The Role of Upland Peoples in the Crisis of a Tay Polity in Southwest Yunnan, 1792 to 1836 Christian Daniels* This paper challenges James Scott’s thesis of state evasion and state prevention as the basic features of lowland-upland relationships. It scrutinizes the validity of Scott’s assumptions by examining the case of prolonged violent conflict in a tiny Tay polity feudatory to China during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth cen- turies. Civil war broke out in the Mäng2 Khön1 polity (Mangshi, Dehong Autono- mous Region in southwest Yunnan, China) due to mismanagement by the monarch of two upland peoples, the Jingpo and the Ta’aang. The analysis of the hostilities furnishes no evidence to validate Scott’s thesis of mountain areas as refuge zones for migrants from lowland oppression. What it does expose, however, is the sym- biotic side to upland-lowland relationships. It concludes that symbiosis of upland and lowland was a central issue for the maintenance of political and social stability. Rather than viewing diametric opposi- tion as the main characteristic of upland-lowland relations as Scott does, this study demonstrates the role of interdependence and cooperation, and reveals that relation- ships between upland peoples and Tay polities shifted according to changing politico- social circumstances.
