In March 1998 a further reallocation of SDR 9.0228 million equivalent of the proceeds of Credit 2307-CHA was approved. The total allocation for the Earthquake Reconstruction Program (implemented in Inner Mongolia and Yunnan) was thus SDR 50.6328 million. Bank Group procedures for Emergency Recovery Assistance (OP 8.50) were followed. The credit was closed on December 31, 1998, at which time the funds allocated to the Earthquake Reconstruction Program were fully committed. The final disbursement took place on December 30, 1998 for Yunnan Province, and on April 12, 1999 for Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Messrs. Geoffrey Read (Task Manager) and Terry Hall (Consultant) prepared the ICR, with assistance by Yang Dawei (Procurement Specialist), Chen Feng (Disbursement Specialist), in the Urban Development Sector Unit (EASUR) of the East Asia and Pacific Region, and Ken Rippin (Consultant). It was reviewed by Messrs. Keshav Varma, Sector Manager, EASUR, and Yukon Huang, Country Director, China. Preparation of this ICR was begun during the International Development Association's (IDA's) supervision missions in June 1998 (in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) and in November 1998 (in Yunnan Province), and is based on information in the project file and mission reports prepared during supervision. Since this program was rapidly implemented separately but simultaneously to the Guangdong Agricultural Development Project (GADP), progress reporting was undertaken through * Reference should also be made to the primary ICR for Credit 2307-CHA-Guangdong Agricultural Development Project (GADP) and Earthquake Reconstruction Program (Report No. 19492); that report refers to the use of funds allocated to Guangdong Province. This ICR is prepared in connection with the investments undertaken with a portion of the funds in Credit 2307, which arose following the reallocation of credit proceeds from the GADP to the Inner Mongolia and Yunnan Earthquake Reconstruction Program,
