The Project will include four components: (i) Wuhan Sludge Treatment and Disposal, (ii) Wuhan New Zone Lake/Channels Rehabilitation and Pumping Station, (iii) Yangchun Lake Secondary Urban Center Lake/Channel Rehabilitation, and (iv) Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Development. Rivers and lakes are abundant (rivers and lakes surface take up about one quarter of the urban area) in Wuhan, which largely determine the urban landscape and development of the City. The Project will be implemented in Hanyang and Hongshan districts. Wuchang District is potentially impacted because it located in the downstream of the component of the Wuhan New Zone Lake/Channels Rehabilitation and Sixin Pumping Station. Longyang Lake, Moshui Lake, Sanjiao Lake, Nantaizi Lake and some other small lakes are located in Hanyang district. There are also many lakes such as South Lake, Tangxun Lake and Huangjia Lake, etc. in Hongshan District.The total number of beneficiaries of the project is 2,000,745, including 1,000,373 women, 24,009 poor people and 20,007 ethnic minorities. The number of beneficiaries is shown in Table 1-1.

The total is the total of Hongshan District, Hanyang District ,West District and East District in Wuhan City. 1 2 Methods The method is based on the SAP during the project assessment, through interviewing with key persons, collecting project-related information from the project office, collecting statistical data, and tracking and monitoring socio-economy situations to evaluate the achievement of social goals. Monitoring results of SAP are shown in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2. 2 Table2-1 Monitoring Results Summary of Social Development Action Plan Lead and Monitoring Results Funding Monitoring Proposed Actions Target Group(s) Supporting Timing Requirements Indicators Agencies A.
