1. GENERAL

1.1 Project Brief

The ADB-loaned Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project includes 4 components: flood management, flood control works, village flood protection, and project management, involving 19 counties of Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Puyang (Henan), Heze, Jining, Tai’an, Jinan and Liaocheng Cities (Shandong). A total budget of 2,80432 million RMB was approved for 4 groups of subprojects by the State during the period from 2004 to 2006, including 1.04508 billion RMB (126.37 million USD) ADB loan proceeds and 1.75924 billion RMB water conservancy capitals from the central government. The project includes 47 subprojects altogether, including 11 dikes, 6 village platforms, 15 risky spots and 15 river training works, together with 3 project management schemes1. Refer to the Sketch Map of Subprojects attached hereto.

Henan Huanghe Resettlement Economic Development Company (hereinafter referred to as the “HHREDC”) undertakes external resettlement monitoring and evaluation of all these 47 subprojects. These subprojects have been commenced except for 1 village platform waved.

This total number includes 32 for which both main works and associated structures have been completed, including 8 dike, 15 risky spot and 9 river training subprojects, 3 more than the figure reflected in the last report,. Main works have been completed for the remaining 14, but associated structures or infrastructures are still under construction, including 3 dike, 5 village platform, and 6 river training subprojects.

In addition, 5 dike and 14 risky spot subprojects for which completion reports were prepared as part of the last M&E report have been finally inspected and accepted, 1 dike and 9 river training subprojects initially accepted, and the main works for 5 village platform subprojects taken over. Refer to Table 1 for detailed information.

1.2 Monitoring and Evaluation

Since a baseline census and follow-up rsettlement monitoring activities of the 46 subprojects was started in the first half of 2004, the External Monitor has (1) conducted overall survey of the affected 286 villages and 760 groups, (2) established baseline data for 134 villages, 401 groups, 1,846 households and 8,479 people, with baseline census reports prepared on this basis; and (3) carried out follow-up monitoring of 619 villages, 988 groups, 4,264 households and 19,609 people, with 2-7 M&E reports prepared in both Chinese and English.

This is the 7th M&E, which is performed by 5 M&E groups. Field work was performed in September 2007, including an investigation of the Employers and Implementing Agencies. 1 “State Development & Reform Commission’s Circular Letter about Certifying the Cost Estimate of Preliminary Design

and Summary Cost Estimate of Overall Preliminary Design of the 4th Group of Subprojects under ADB-loaned Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project in Henan” (Ref No. [2006]158).

1.3 Land Acquisition and Resettlement

Each subproject has its own Employer, Implementing Agency, Designer and Engineer, which meets the requirements of project management and basically satisfies the demands of land acquisition and resettlement.

The scope of work in land acquisition and resettlement mainly covers the following aspects: land acquisition, physical relocation, school reconstruction, special facility replacement, and payment, etc.

There are 5 village platform subprojects for which the approved budget excludes the direct costs for land acquisition and resettlement, with such costs paid out of the local counterpart funds. The approved budget for land acquisition for 11 dike, 15 risky spot rehabilitation and 15 river training subprojects is 358.7 million RMB, including 329.53 million RMB direct costs. In practice, an additional budget 95.15.38 million RMB was approved, including 29.2638 million RMB as direct costs. To sum up, 453.8537 million RMB has been approved by the time of this M&E, including 358.7938 million RMB direct costs. The completed direct costs amount to 315.8301 million RMB, accounting for 88% of the approved budget. Refer to Table 3. More details on the 41 implemented subprojects with direct costs (5 village platform subprojects not involved) are provided in Annex 0-2 “Approval and Implementation of Resettlement Budgets”.

The construction of 6 dike, 4 village platform and 1 river training subprojects involves the relocation of private houses, with 856 households of 45 villages involved in dike subprojects, including 827 resettled in new, bought, borrowed, rent and temporary houses. The village platform subprojects affect 71 households, which have been resettled in various modes.

There are 3 subprojects involving the reconstruction of 4 schools. Liuzhuang in Kaifeng, Xuji and Yantan in Dongming are completed, and Donglou in Puyang is under construction (note: main works are completed at the time of this report).

Special facilities affected by land acquisition are in transport, electricity, communications and water conservancy sectors. Replacement is arranged in line with the progress of construction.

2. COMPENSATION

2.1 Compensation for Dike, Risky Spot and River Training Subprojects

Different compensation rates are used: (1) rates proposed in the RP or the IS; (2) new rates provided by the county government and published in the form of government notice; (3) rates as agreed; (4) and rates adjusted at the time of payment.

2.1.1 Compensation Rates for Permanent Land Acquisition

Among these 46 implemented subprojects, 32 involve permanent land use, mainly including farmland, garden, forestland, and pond. Compensation rates are applied as proposed in the RP, IS, government notices and agreements.

Compensation rates for 22 subprojects are based on the RP or IS, specifically including 5 dike subprojects, Yuanyang, Kaifeng (Kaifeng County only), Puyang, Dongpinghu (55) and Dongpinghu (77), 3 risky spot ones, Heigangkou, Weishan and Fanpo, and 14 river training ones, Zhangwangzhuang, Dong’an, Laotian’an, Wuzhuang, Mao’an, Shunhejie, Gucheng, Caogang, Taohuayu, Baohezhai, Zhaokou, Weitan, Heigangkou and Laozhaizhuang.

Rates are used for 8 subprojects as published in government notices, namely Dongming, Mudan, Juancheng, Huangzhai, Huozhai, Baocheng, Gaocun and Liuzhuang.

Agreed rates are applied to Lankao (152) and Lankao (135). The rates applied to Kaifeng Outskirts are adjusted during implementation. Detailed information is given in Table 5.

The rates proposed in the RP or the IS are not to be discussed herein. Table 6 details the main compensation rates for 10 subprojects, which rates are not used as proposed in the RP or IS, but as published in government notices and stated in agreements in lieu.

As far as farmland compensation rates are concerned, the rates for the permanent land use of 10 subprojects are 7.2-31.1% lower than those proposed in the RP or IS. The main reasons include: (1) other local-financed projects, for which low rates have been approved earlier, are implemented in the subproject areas simultaneously, but uniform rates are used in practice to enable smooth progress and maintain social stability, e.g., Juancheng Dike Subproject; rates


7

are fixed with reference to local regulations, e.g., rates for Dongming, Mudan and Juancheng are fixed on the basis of annual output values (including both main products and by-products) set forth in the “Approval of Adjusted Land Output Values and Compensation Rates for Appurtenances” by Shandong Bureau of Price and Department of Finance, with Government Notices published accordingly; and (3) account is taken of such factors as price indexes in excess of the RP or IS and other conditions of different types of land.

2.1.2 Compensation Rates for Temporary Land Occupation

Temporary land use is involved in 11 dike, 14 risky spot (without temporary land use for Heigangkou) and 15 river training subprojects which have been implemented.

According to the IS, temporary land use includes, excavation and treading, both compensated for according to the type of land and the duration of occupation. The rate for irrigated land and dryland is the unit output value per mu timed by the period of occupation, while that for floodland is divided into output value/mu of one year, one season or young crop.

In fact, temporary land use for borrow areas is divided into 2 types, pumping and excavation, with compensations for excavation and treading paid as follows:

(1) 26 using the RP or IS rates, including Puyang, Dongpinghu (55) and Dongpinghu (10) dike subprojects, Huayuankou, Madu, Zhaokou, Yangqiao, Jiubao, Likou, Weishan and Fanpo risky spot subprojects, and 15 river training subprojects;

(2) 8 using the government notice rates, including Dongming, Juancheng and Mudan dike subprojects, Huangzhai, Huozhai, Baocheng, Gaocun and Liuzhuang risky spot ones;

(3) 6 adopting the agreed rates, including Yuanyang, Kaifeng, Lankao (152), Lankao (135) and Dongpinghu dike subprojects, and Dongbatou risky spot subproject;

As seen from Table 7, the period of temporary land use for Dongming, Juancheng and Mudan is generally 1.5 to 2 years. For example, the IS rate for irrigated land is 1,698-2,264 RMB/mu, but 2,300-2,500 RMB/mu is actually applied to excavation and 1,005 RMB/mu.m*depth (m) to pumping, generally a depth of 2 m and amount of 6,000 RMB/mu, and even as high as 9,050 RMB/mu in Dongming, higher than the IS rate. Temporary land use for Huangzhai, Huozhai, Baocheng, Gaocun and Liuzhuang is floodland, which is actually compensated at the rates for irrigated land as published in government notices.

Among the 6 subprojects where agreed rates are adopted, the period of temporary land use for Yuanyang, Kaifeng, Lankao (152), Lankao (135) and Dongpinghu (77) generally ranges from 1 to 2.5 years. For example, the IS rate for irrigated land is 1,160-2,408 RMB/mu, but the rate of 2,000-3,500 RMB/mu is actually adopted as agreed, plus 1,000-2,000 RMB/mu per each additional meter of pumping depth, until a maximum of 10,000 RMB/mu, much higher than the IS. According to the IS, treading is compensated for at most the output value of one year, 963-1,160 RMB/mu for irrigated land and 690 RMB/mu for floodland, but the actual rate is generally timed by the period of use, with a basic rate of 493.64-700 RMB/mu per season, or 987.23-1,400 RMB/mu if less than 2 seasons, not lower than the IS rate.

2.1.3 Compensation Rates for Housing

House relocation is involved in 6 dike and 1 river training subprojects only, i.e. Lankao (135),


11

Puyang, Dongming, Mudan, Juancheng, Dongpinghu (77) and Laozhaizhuang.

Among these 7 subprojects, Lankao (135), Puyang and Dongpinghu (77) use the rates fixed in the RP or IS, while Dongming, Mudan, Juancheng and Laozhaizhuang use those published in government notices. In Juancheng, the rate for brick-timber housing is further adjusted as appropriate, in the range of 100-240 RMB/m2 according to the height and service life. The balance resulting from the difference between actual rates published in Government Notices and those fixed in the RP is used together with that resulting from the rates for permanent land use, i.e. first to cover the missing/mispresented and underestimated physical indexes before applied to developing public utilities.

Table 8 compares the main house compensation rates for Dongming, Mudan, Juancheng and Laozhaizhuang.

In addition to this, as required in the “Notice of Paying Housing Subsidies to Households” issued by Dongming Project Office’s letter No. 1 (2004), Dongming County has paid to each resettlement family 800 RMB for new house platforms and 200 RMB for temporary housings. In Lankao (135), transportation expenses are partly paid to villages. Temporary subsidies are not paid elsewhere.

2.2 Village Platform Subprojects

2.2.1 Enforcement of Promise Letters

As indicated in Table 10, the total budge of Government investments and ADB loan proceeds for 5 village platform subprojects is 209.38 million RMB, including 27.36 million RMB for Miaozhai, 25.43 million RMB for Wuqiu, 60.64 million RMB for Fanxian, 41.95 million RMB for Dongming and 54 million RMB for Pingyin. The local government is responsible for physical relocation, attachment and young crop compensation, infrastructure construction, and also poor family relocation after the completion of village platforms, but housing in new village platforms is financed by resettlement families themselves.

The Government investments and ADB loan proceeds are used in the process of construction management.

The local government responsibilities include the counterpart funds or measures promised by the provinces, cities, counties and townships involved. The total amount is 49.8704 million RMB, including 36.5 million RMB paid as of this M&E, 5 million RMB more than reported last time.

Provincial counterpart funds: A total amount of 25 million RMB has been promised. The progress of payment remains unchanged, 23.5 million RMB, including 3.5 million RMB of 5


14

million RMB promised by Henan and 20 million RMB by Shandong.

City/county counterpart funds: The promised total amount of 24.8704 million RMB is paid by 13 million RMB, 5 million RMB more than the progress reported last time. The amount of 1.5 million RMB promised by Puyang for Fanxian was paid in full by the time of the last report. Fanxian has promised 0.5 million RMB but paid 9 million RMB paid actually, i.e. an increase of 2 million RMB. Jinan has paid 9 million RMB of the promised amount of 15 million RMB for Pingyin, 3 million RMB more than the figure reflected in the last report. The amount of 7.8704 million RMB promised by Heze for Dongming has not been paid yet.

Main works for village platforms are totally completed and initial taking over is finished. Plans for new villages are ready, and “Action Plans” are prepared for some village platforms, e.g. Pingyin and Fanxian. But infrastructures are still in the stage of preparation except for Pingyin, where infrastructures are nearly finished and housing in the new village platform is started.

2.2.2 Compensation Rates and Payments

These 5 subprojects involve permanent land use for village platforms, temporary land use for construction purposes, land use for roads, land restoration, appurtenance, house relocation and special facility replacement, with a total amount of 17.7338 million RMB. Due to the difference in socioeconomic conditions, the rates and methods of compensation are different from here to there. To take housing for example, compensation is based on the number of houses in Miaozhai and Wuqiu, the floor area of houses in Dongming, and the number of rooms in Fanxian and Pingyin. The following paragraphs discuss in brief the main physical indexes and compensations (refer to Table 10 and Appendix 10).

In Miaozhai, young crops and appurtenances affected by permanent land use and pumping are not compensated for, with 500 RMB/year for temporary land use for pipes only. The houses relocated as a result of village platform construction are compensated for according to the quality and floor area as agreed with the households. For permanent land use in Mayezhuang, 300 RMB/mu is paid to the affected households as compensation for one crop. In Gaozhuang, flour is provided for farmers by the villager leaders as compensation for young crops. The total amount of compensations for temporary land use for pipes and housings is 230,400 RMB, which 107,000 RMB more than the figure reported last time, mainly for young crops.

Wuqiu compensates for appurtenances only, without compensation for young crops, with an amount of 500 RMB/year for temporary land use for pipes and a lump sum of 4,000 or 5,100 RMB/mu for pumping according to the depth and the agreement. The amount for affected appurtenances, temporary land use for pipes, pumping and housing is 1.2794 million RMB, without any change since the last M&E.

In Fanxian Subproject, 610 RMB/mu is paid for permanent land use for village platforms and young crops each year until the finish of land adjustment, and 600 RMB/mu for excavation until land restoration. In addition, a lump sum of 10 and 50 RMB/mu is paid to townships and villages separately for their cooperation, 200 RMB/mu to households as award for site


15

clearing and 300 RMB/room as compensation. The total amount of payment is 2.0064 million RMB, including appurtenances, with an addition payment of 54,400 RMB since the last M&E, mostly for appurtenances.

Dongming Subproject pays 650 RMB/mu as compensation for permanent land use for village platform occupation and treading. Compensation for land occupation by village platforms is paid until the completion of land adjustment or resettlement in the new village platform, while that for temporary land use is paid according to the period of occupation, with a lump sum of 1,005 RMB/mu for excavation and 3,000-9,050 RMB/mu for pumping on the basis of depth and agreement. Housings are compensated at the rate published in government notices. Plus the payment for appurtenances, a total amount of 11.2 million RMB has been paid up to date, 2.6765 million RMB more than that shown in the last report, mainly for young crops affected by village platforms.

The rate for Pingyin is based on the season and output value, in the range of 400, 500 and 650 RMB/mu, and duration of compensation determined according to the degree of difficulty in land adjustment. The total payment is 9.2739 million RMB, including an additional amount of 3.4184 million RMB for appurtenances and other entitlements.

3.2 Permanent Land Use for Dike, Risky spot and River Training Subprojects

3.2.1 Impacts and Economic Rehabilitation

Permanent land use for these subprojects involves a total number of 19,789 households and 85,734 people of 588 groups in 249 villages, where there used to be a per capita farmland area of 0.821-2.814 mu, an average of 1.457 mu. With 10,285.55 mu acquired for permanent use, there is a per capita loss of 0.013-0.331 mu, or an average of 0.12 mu. A loss rate higher than 10% is suffered by 144 groups, all in dike subprojects. Refer to Table 12.

Economic rehabilitation is totally performed within villager groups, with the mode discussed repeatedly and decided as chosen by the majority. There are mainly 3 modes:

(1) Share the money and adjust the land, with land compensation equally shared by all in the group and land adjusted again (referred to “Option A”);

(2) Pay to households directly, without land adjustment (referred to as “Option B”)

(3) Exchange land with land, with public land distributed to land losers and compensation costs retained for public use or equally shared by all (referred to as “Option C”).

As indicated in Table 12, Option A is chosen by 342 of the 588 groups involved in permanent land use, Option B by 201 and Option C by 43, while the rest 2 have not decided the mode due to disagreement of the farmers.

Permanent land use and economic rehabilitation for dike subprojects remain unchanged since the last M&E, involving a total number of 15,399 households and 65,014 people from 448 groups in 181 villages, with a per capita farmland area of 0.822 – 1.825 mu before land acquisition, an average of 1.33 mu, including 8,881.228 mu acquired for permanent use, a per capita loss of 0.013-0.205 mu, or an average 0.137 mu. Option A is adopted by 263 groups, Option B by 158, Option C by 25, but Groups 1 and 7 in Jiatan have not decided due to the failure to achieve disagreement. Payment for young crops is paid out of land compensations. Details are given in Table 12.

The progress in this aspect of 8 risky spot subprojects is the same as reflected in the last report, except for an additional group in Liuzhuang. Permanent land use involves 2,067 households and 10,540 people of 57 groups in 27 villages, with a per capita farmland area of 1.067-2.196 mu or an average of 1.531 mu before land acquisition. With 262.03 mu acquired, the per capita area is reduced by 0.007-0.170 mu, or an average of 0.025 mu. These groups have adopted Option A (45 groups) or C (10 group) except that one involved in Heigangkou and another in Liuzhuang have chosen Option B. See Table 12 for details.

Permanent land use for the 14 river training subprojects is 2,802.76 mu, including 1,142.3 mu contracted land for the use of Dong’an, Wuzhuang, Mao’an, Shunhejie, Weitan, Heigangkou and Laozhaizhuang, totally floodland, involving 2,323 households and 10,180 people from 85 groups in 31 villages, with a per capita loss of 0.036-0.331 mu, or an average of 0112 mu. Table 12 shows that Option A is used by 34, Option B by 41 and Option C by 8.

3.2.2 Temporary Land Occupation and Restoration

By the time of this report, a total area of 43,676.04 mu has been acquired from 277 villages for the temporary use of 11 dike, 14 risky spot and 15 river training subprojects, with an increase of 8,182.97 mu and 59 villages 86 mu in comparison with the progress made by the time of the last M&E. Table 13 shows that 22,553.39 mu is used for excavation, 14,334.21 mu for pumping and 6,788.44 mu for treading, including 42,271.64 mu to be restored.

The restored area by the time of this report is 32,473.84 mu, accounting for 76.8% of the total area, 11,039.19 mu larger the area reflected in the last report. The remaining 9,797.8 mu includes 1,840.86 mu fresh floodland for pumping (totally for dike subprojects). Having received compensation costs, the farmers are not eager to restore this part of farmland close to the Yellow River and prone to flooding despite it is now farmed, instead they wait for natural restoration by the floods. The land for treading can be restored upon completion of construction, and that for excavation can be restored when leveled. Refer to Table 13.

The completed area for the temporary use of 11 dike subprojects is 35,770.42 mu from 216 villages, 4,930.14 mu and 24 villages more than the figures contained in the last report. The restored area is 26,138.61 mu, taking up 73.4% of the total area 35,617.02 mu to be restored, 8,173.47 mu larger than the figure indicated in the last report. In specific, the percentage of land restoration is 100% in Lankao (135) and Dongpinghu (22), 97.8% in Kaifeng, 69.3% in Lankao (152) and 73.8% in Dongming. Refer to Table 13 for details.

Temporary land acquisition for 15 risky spot subprojects is almost finished, with a total area of 4,201.74 mu acquired from 24 villages, with additional area of 60.95 mu from 2 villages in Liuzhuang since the last M&E. The restored area is 3520.02 mu, which is 91.7% of the total area 3,839.41 mu to be restored and 50.51 mu larger than the area reflected in the last report. Land restoration was finished at the time of the last report except for 101.5 mu being restored in Huangzhai and 217.89 not restored yet in Liuzhuang. Details are provided in Table 13.

The completed area for the temporary use of 15 river training subprojects is 3,703.89 mu in 37 villages, 3,191.89 mu and 33 villages more than the progress shown in the last report. The restoration of 2,815.22 mu has been totally finished. Refer to Table 13.

Our attention to the restoration of farmland and the willingness to restore will be continued in future follow-up monitoring activities.

Economic rehabilitation is mostly achieved by land adjustment between villages/groups and within groups. In account of the impacts and benefits, land adjustment is needed between 36 villages and between or within groups of 43 villages as listed in Table 14. Refer to Appendix 6 for details.

As of this report, 19 of the 36 villages in the need of village-to-village land adjustment have done this work, accounting for 53%, including Miaozhai, Wuqiu and Dongming south village platform where this is completed. In comparison with the progress achieved by the time of the last M&E, one more village in Pingyin has completed village-to-village land adjustment. Among the 17 villages where village-to-village land adjustment is not started, this work for 11 villages in Fanxian and 5 in Dongming north village platform is still under discussion, because the farmers to given land are suspicious about farmland replacement with old village platforms, and 1 village in Pingyin has not acted because the land contracts have not expired yet. Refer to Table 14 and Appendix 6 for further information.

Land adjustment between and within groups is needed for 43 villages, including 26 having adjusted land between and 25 within groups, i.e. 60%, 1 more village in Pingyin than the number of villages reflected in Report No. 6. Land adjustment between and within groups is still under discussion except for Wuqiu and Dongming where this is finished. Refer to Table 14 and Appendix 6.

However, compensations for young crops will be paid to affected farmers until the completion of land adjustment.

3.3.2 Temporary Land Occupation and Restoration

A total area of 5,475.55 mu is acquired for the temporary use of 5 subprojects in this category, involving 42 villages. Land restoration is needed for 5,231.55 mu, including 3,535.87 mu restored, i.e. 68%. The area of 1,695.68 mu not restored yet includes 1,403.34 mu floodland, i.e. 82.8%, most of which will be restored naturally by the Yellow River, and the rest 292.34 mu includes 156.34 mu in Wuqiu and 136 mu in Dongming. No change has ever taken place since the last M&E. Land restoration, as being included in the compensations for temporary land use, is still performed by farmers themselves. This will continue to be the focus of our

4. PHYSICAL RELOCATION AND REHABILITATION

Among the 46 implemented subprojects, 6 dike, 1 river training and 4 village platform subprojects involve the relocation of private houses.

Land acquisition for the permanent use of new village platforms is finished, with 71 affected households. Since the last M&E, 22 of the total number of 58 affected households in Pingyin have started housing at the new village platform, with 16 house foundations completed. The 13 households affected by the rest 4 village platform subprojects have been relocated, 2 more than as reported last time.

This part of work for the 6 dike subprojects is described in the following paragraphs.

Physical relocation is needed for 847 households in 44 villages, including 818 completed, i.e. of 96.6%, 32 more than the number of the last report. There is no change in Lankao (135), Dongming and Dongpinghu (77), where this work is total completed, but there is an increase of 12 households in Puyang, 8 in Dongming and 12 in Juancheng.

Homestead identification necessary for 781 households is totally completed. In comparison with the last report, there is no change in Lankao (135), Mudan and Dongpinghu (77) where this was finished by the time of the 6th M&E, but the number is increased by 21 in Dongming, 25 in Puyang and 26 in Juancheng.

Altogether 641 households have completed their new houses, accounting for 82.1% of those having received homesteads, 118 or 22.6% more than the number given in the last report.

The number of households having moved to new houses is 619, an increase of 109 or 21.4%.

All resettlement families are resettled in one way or another, with 621 resettled permanently by constructing (619) and buying (2) new houses, accounting for 75.9%, and 274 resettled temporarily by borrowing (74), renting (17), building temporarily (3) and others (103, including 86 houses elsewhere), taking up 24.1%. Refer to Table 16. The households resettled by borrowing/renting houses and other ways refer to people having not received homesteads, working at new houses or being ready to act. They use the houses lent by relatives/friends or offered by the government (e.g. in Juancheng) temporarily. Refer to Table 16.


25

Relocation and homestead identification for the additional 9 families in Laozhaizhuang have been completed, including 6 having built and 5 moved into new houses. Refer to Table 16.

5. RECONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOLS

School reconstruction is involved in 3 dike subprojects only: Liuzhuang in Kaifeng, Yantan and Xuji in Dongming, and Donglou in Puyang. The approved budge has been paid in full.

New schoolrooms were handed over to Liuzhuang in December 2004, Yantan in September in 2004 and Xuji in April 2006, to take the place of simple old rooms and outdated facilities. New rooms are larger and schooling conditions are considerably better.

An obvious progress has been made in reconstructing Donglou School, with 4.5 mu acquired as the new site and 13 rooms (310 m2) completed. Pupils in higher grades are studying at the central primary school, and Grades 1 and 2 previously staying in rent rooms will move to the new school soon (already at the new school when this report is completed). The conditions and circumstances are improved. Refer to Appendix 2 for details.

6. REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL FACILITIES

Altogether 25 subprojects involve the replacement of special facilities in transport, power and communications sectors, including all 11 dike, 12 risky spot (Huayuankou, Madu, Zhaokou, Yangqiao, Jiubao, Dongbatou, Heigangkou, Baocheng, Gaocun, Weishan, Likou, Liuzhuang) and 2 river training (Taohuayu and Laozhaizhuang) subprojects.

The agreed amount for this purpose is 56.5469 million RMB, which is 94.2% of the total and 8.4166 million RMB more than that of the last report. The completed payment is 52.3468 million RMB, 87.2% of the total and 13.0634 million RMB more than the figure reported last time. As indicated in Table 17, this work has been completed for Lankao (152), Lankao (135), Dongpinghu (22), Dongpinghu (10), 11 river training subprojects (excluding Liuzhuang) and Taohuayu, altogether 16.

7. INCOME RECOVERY

7.1 Selection of Sample Households

Sample households for the purpose of this M&E are selected on the following principles:

(1) Selecting 20% households in different types (Option A, Option B, Option C) and with more land loss;

(2) Discussing with groups regarding the use of compensations and the remedy measures for income recovery;

(3) Interviewing with different types of sample households, e.g., those with land loss over 30%, including one of the vulnerable groups in each village, especially women-headed families;

(4) Conducting survey and qualitative analysis of remedy measures.

Dike, risky spot and river training subprojects

(1) Completion report: Sample households having lost more land and chosen Options and B are selected for the purpose of follow-up monitoring, not less than 20% of the affected households in each type.

(2) Follow-up monitoring report: Sample households having lost more land and chosen Options and B are selected for the purpose of follow-up monitoring, not less than 50% of the affected households in each type.

Village platform subprojects

Follow-up monitoring report: Sample households having lost more land and chosen Options and B are selected for the purpose of follow-up monitoring, not less than 20% of the affected households in each type (2005 and 2006).

Based on these principles, 292 sample households and 1,418 people have been selected from 15 subprojects. The original per capita farmland area is reduced from 1.351 mu to 1.102 mu, i.e. a per capita loss of 0.249 mu or 18.4%. This total number includes 119 households and 569 people in Option B, with a per capita farmland reduction of 0.331 mu or 24%, and 173 households and 849 people in Option A, with a per capita loss of 0.194 mu or 14%. Refer to Table 18 for details


29

Further analysis indicates that:

(1) 59 households and 285 people in completed subprojects, including 38 and 166 in Option B, with a per capita loss of 0.258 mu or 22%, 21 and 119 in Option A, with a per capita loss of 0.35 mu or 26%;

(2) 138 households and 635 people in dike subprojects, including 29 and 134 in Option B, with a per capita loss of 0.37 mu or 23%, 109 and 501 in Option A, with a per capita loss of 0.17 mu or 13%;

(3) 70 households and 354 people in village platform subprojects, including 27 and 125 in Option B, with a per capita loss of 0.386 mu or 30%, 43 and 229 in Option A, with a per capita loss of 0.165 mu or 11%l

(4) 25 households and 144 people in river training subprojects, all in Option B, with a per capita loss of 0.329 mu or 24%.

7.2 Income Recovery

Income recovery by types of subprojects, i.e. completed, follow-up dike/river training and follow-up village platform subprojects, is analyzed by vertical comparison method. To put in another way, the income of sample households in the follow-up years is compared vertically with that in the base year.

7.2.1 Completed Subprojects

The year of 2003 is used as the base year of all the completed Kaifeng, Lankao (152), Lankao (135) and Dongming, with baseline data established for 2,440 sample households, including 1,629 choosing Option A and 811 preferring Option B.

Excluding the effect of escalation (minor escalation), follow-up monitoring of the recovery of family incomes in 3 straight years concludes that:

(1) as the recovery time extends, the percentage of income recovery is higher and higher, e.g., 60%, 70% and 90% sample households reached or exceeded their original income levels in the period of 2004 to 2006;

(2) as seen from group data, there is no major difference in the degree of income recovery of either Option A or B, indicating that both options meet the local conditions, represent the farmers’ willingness to achieve economic rehabilitation and does not play a decisive role in recovering family incomes;

(3) as shown by continuous follow-up monitoring results in 2006, only 78 of the 285 people choosing Options A and B had an increasing per capita income in the past 3 years, taking up 27% only, which means that, though 90% households have reached or exceeded their original income levels, joint efforts from all parties are needed to maintain the steady and continuous income growth of all affected people.

Refer to Table 19 for further information.

7.2.2 Dike and River Training Subprojects

On the one hand, the recovery time of 6 follow-up monitoring subprojects in this category is relatively short (Table 22 shows 2005 as the base year of 4 and 2004 of 2 subprojects); on the other hand, resettlement for all the subprojects is not completed yet. Thus the M&E team has analyzed the income recovery of sample households in 2006 only.

In 2006, the original income level was recovered or exceeded by 66% households, including 78% in Option B and 60% in Option A. As analyzed by subprojects, the percentage in Yuanyang, Mudan and Shunhejie was higher than 75%, whilst that in Puyang, Juancheng and Wuzhuang was lower than 50% partly because of the limited recovery time (base year 2005). See Table 20 for details.

7.2.3 Village Platform Subprojects

The year of 2003 is based as the bear use for village platform subprojects save for Pingyin. Follow-up monitoring results of income recovery in 3 consecutive years (2 years for Pingyin), in comparison with that of completed dike subprojects, reveal the following characteristics:

(1) As the recovery time extends, the percentage of recovery is higher and higher, but the rate is rather slow, e.g. 56%, 65% and 66% sample households reached or exceeded their original income levels in the period from 2004 to 2006, partly because the farmers inside the floodplains have richer farmland and depended on land more than those outside the dikes, and partly because the affected farmers are not entitled of land compensations


32

(other than the compensation for the land use of village platforms, i.e. compensation for young crops).

(2) The mode of economic rehabilitation is not decisive for recovering family incomes and the percentage of households with increasing incomes is almost consistent with that in the completed subprojects.

(3) Income recovery is rather instable. In Miaozhai, for example, 79% households in Option B reached or exceeded their original income levels in 2005, but only 58% in 2006, versus 62% and 30% in Pingyin. This is because, in addition to drought/flood and other natural disasters, land adjustment in Pingyin disabled the timely farming of part of farmland, preparation for physical relocation and housing reduced the work time of farmer workers, and the quality of adjusted land varied from one place to another.

Analysis results are provided in Table 21 below.

7.3 Remedy Measures

To be abreast of the affected people have done to recover their family incomes under the condition of reduced farmland, 317 sample households (201) in dike, 81 in village platform and 35 in river training subprojects) have been selected for the purpose of a questionnaire containing 18 questions in the aspect of (1) how was your family income affected as a result of farmland reduction? (2) how did you use you land compensations? (3) what did you do to recovery you family income? All surveys are conducted face to face, with questionnaires completed by interviewers. The findings are discussed in the following paragraphs. Since the survey in these 3 aspects pays more attention to a trend, all of the 18 questions are weighted equally. The next M&E will quantify some indexes, e.g., the use of compensations, to analyze


33

the trend of production and livelihood in the respect of structure.

(1) Income impacts by farmland reduction: The total number of 317 households includes (1) 89 with less income from farming activities but more from other sources, without any impact on the total income, taking up 28.1%; (2) 111 subject to minor impacts due to less land loss, 35%; (3) 53 subject to minor impacts due to interior quality of lost land, 16.7%; (4) 63 exposed to major impacts, 19.9%; and 1 in the category of others, 0.3%.

(2) Use of land compensations: Land compensation is used for (1) direct income recovery by 38.2% people, including farming by 31.9% and small business by 6.3%; and (2) indirect income recovery or other purposes by 61.8%, including medical fees, children’s tuitions and daily expenses by 47.6%, housing by 6.8%, debit and other purposes by 5.4%.

(3) Income recovery: The affected people have implemented various measures to recovery family incomes after farmland reduction, including 59.6% by working as farmer workers, 10.5% by doing small business, 6.9% by extensive farming, intercropping, reclamation, cropping, animal raising and plastic tunnel, and 5.7% by other measures. The rest 17.4% have not acted due to the lack of funds or inadequacy of deliberation. Refer to Table 22.

As mentioned above, approximately 80% of the sample households do not think their family incomes are affected significantly, over 80% have taken various actions for income recovery, about 40% have used the land compensations for recovering incomes directly. Refer to Table 5 for detailed information.

To follow how the seriously affected households, vulnerable groups and women-headed


34

families are doing in income recovery, the M&E team has interviewed 16 households (2 in vulnerable groups and 1 women-headed family).

Profile of households: There are 74 people in these 16 families, i.e. an average family size of 4.63 people. Subsequent to land acquisition, the per capita farmland is reduced by 0.32 mu, which is more than 0.12 mu of all affected people or 0.249 mu of the follow-up households. A total amount of 148,893 RMB is paid to them as land compensations, i.e. 2,013 RMB per capita, with a maximum of 3,332 RMB in the scenario of Option B in dike subprojects and a minimum of 118 RMB in the scenario of Option A in village platform subprojects. Refer to Table 26 for detailed information.

Outcome of income recovery: Among these households, 14 have reached or exceeded their original income levels, taking up 87.5%. For instance, Gao Xinxiang, a resettler and also a land loser in Puyang, earns some 20,000 RMB a year by operating an electric motorcar shop with a loan in addition to the land compensation; Ding Xiaoru, a family of minimum income guarantee in Shunnan affected by Shunhejie River Training Subproject, depends on relatives for farming, 50 RMB/person allowance provided by the civil administration each month, plus flour and oil on the occasion of festivals, and cooperative medical care offered by the village. Also, as being close to a brick kiln nearby, he works for the kiln as arranged by the village, with more than 20 RMB earned a day to help out family expenses. Refer to Table 23.

7.4 Analysis of Income Levels

Without escalation excluded, the increased income reduces the percentage of absolutely poor people by 15.1% and non-poor people by 19.2%. With regard to the completed and follow-up subprojects, due to the longer recovery time for the completed subprojects, absolutely poor people are reduced by 40.8% to the maximum, while non-poor people are increased by 48.6%, versus 3.6% and 9.3% in the follow-up monitoring dike subprojects.

Refer to Table 24 for further information.

As judged from the follow-up monitoring results of the sample households subject to major impacts, surveys of remedy measures taken by sample households and thorough interviews with typical households, more than 80% affected people do not think their family incomes are affected significantly, and about 40% use the land compensations for production directly. As


35

the recovery time extends continuously, more and more households have reached or exceeded their original income levels, and the number of non-poor people is larger and larger.

8. PROTECTION OF RIGHTS AND INTERESTS

Follow-up monitoring of rights/interests protection is continued in line with the progress of subprojects. This aspect covers resettlement training, complaints and vulnerable groups.

8.1 Training

Training includes resettlement staff and affected people.

During the implementation of resettlement, YRCC’s Project Office held 3 training courses for resettlement staff in July 2005, October 2006 and September 2007, mainly in the field of China and ADB’s resettlement policies, project RPs and action plans, resettlement M&E and post-evaluation. These have significantly contributed to improving the professional qualifies of resettlement staff. Apart from these, the Implementing Agencies have provided ad hoc arrangements and training courses for the relevant township/village leaders in resettlement implementation and management by means of mobilization and meeting, i.e. the so-called method of “meeting in lieu of training”.

With regard to training for the affected people, 44 subprojects are in the need of training for production skills (technical training is not included in the RP of Heigangkou and Dongbatou only). Training programs for cropping, animal raising and other production skills have been prepared for 12 subprojects, including Yuanyang, Kaifeng, Lankao (152), Lankao (135), Dongming, Mudan, Juancheng, Huangzhai, Huozhai, Baocheng, Gaocun and Liuzhuang, and


36

implemented for Kaifeng, Lankao (152), Lankao (135), Mudan and Liuzhuang. This part of work is generally implemented by township governments as authorized by the Employer. As seen from the outcome of implementation, the trainees have mastered some practical skills. Everyone is quite satisfied.

In addition, this M&E includes an investigation of the demand of training. As shown by the results, 80% wish to be trained in scientific farming, animal raising, non-farm employment and other aspects. Generally speaking, training in production skills is needed for the land losers, so it is recommended that training programs be implemented as early as possible.

8.2 Complaints Management

Complaints are not received during the monitoring except for a few from Juancheng, Mudan and Puyang.

As found in the investigation, the channels of complaints management are smooth and the problems of affected people are basically responded or solved. By interviewing the township governments, village committees and affected people, it is found that farmers in Juancheng and Mudan principally complain about the poor drainage of seepage and rainwater and its subsequent adverse impacts on crops nearby, hoping that the responsible parties pay attention to preventing and treating problem. Some farmers in Puyang complain that land restoration has not been implemented as agreed, hoping that the relevant departments implement land restoration as soon as possible.

It is understood that there are mainly 4 channels available to the affected people: resettlement management system, local government system, judicial system, and resettlement M&E system. As seen from the complaints raised during land acquisition and resettlement, the channels are constantly improved and most complaints are treated.

8.3 Vulnerable Groups

Monitoring of the affected vulnerable groups is continued as a key point.

Altogether 49 households and 73 people are affected by Juancheng, Mudan and river training subprojects, including 3 households of 4 elderly living along (five-guarantee family) involved in physical relocation. These people are properly resettled with 3 major sources of income: income from the farmland cropped by their relatives/friends, food and cash relief provided by the county civil administration on festivals, and old folk’s home operated by the townships. Also, cooperative medical services are arranged and medical service fees exempted/reduced as appropriate by the counties, townships or villages in river training subprojects.

The vulnerable groups in Puyang, Yuanyang and risky spot subproject areas enjoy the equal rights as others in the respect of land compensation and adjustment, and the “five-guarantee families” receive subsidies from the local financial revenues each month, though the amount is different from one place to another. Those in good health live independently, with support


37

provided by village committees or their relatives in the respect of both production and living, while others unable to take care of themselves in daily life can choose to stay in the old folks’ home. Cash relief is provided for the disabled who have certificates of disability issued by the government. With the help of subsidies provided by the villages and the county river bureau, the vulnerable groups in Puyang have been resettled properly.

Preferential policies oriented to vulnerable groups are not provided for the 5 village platform subprojects. These people enjoy the equal rights as others in the respect of land compensation and adjustment, and the local governments involved in 5 village platform subprojects promise to cover the relocation of poor families with local counterpart funds, mainly including subsidy or assistance for the housing of poor families.

The affected people in the completed Dongming, Lankao (152), Lankao (135), Kaifeng and Dongpinghu (55) Dike Subprojects include 142 households and 295 people in the category of vulnerable groups. They enjoy the equal rights as others in land compensation and adjustment. Although case-specific preferential policies are not provided by the Implementing Agency, these affected vulnerable groups enjoy the same preferential policies provided by the local government as others not affected. They are properly resettled in the following ways: (1) income from the farmland cropped by their relatives/friends, (2) food and cash relief provided by the county civil administration on festivals, and (3) old folk’s home operated by the townships. Also, Tax exemption and relief are provided for the disabled and women-headed families. In a word, the living conditions of vulnerable groups are not worsened due to construction, but bettered to the contrary.

8.4 Willingness to Move

As shown by follow-up monitoring of 82 people involved in 5 village platform subprojects in the respect of their willingness to move, 95% say yes, 10% higher than the figure shown in the last report, mainly because the percentage in Dongming is increased from 12% to 94%. This considerable increase in Dongming is largely attributable to the following reasons: (1) the villagers were previously concerned about the potential risk that the slope protection works would not be able to resist the scour of heavy rain, but the settlement of ground and the growth of turf over the past year have improved the sense of security; (2) the new homestead is 0.25 mu, relatively small, but very attractive to many families eager to have new houses (wedding); and (3) a lot of farmland is occupied by new village platforms and left idle for long, so the farmers hope for the earliest replacement. Some people in village platform subprojects are reluctant to move because: (1) the demand for flood control is already included in the their new houses completed recently, (2) without subsidies, they are unable to afford new houses by themselves; and (3) there has been recently a small flow in the Yellow River, without flood risks in the flood season.

As for the ability to complete housing within 2 years after the completion of village platforms, the percentage “yes” is 18%, which is 5% higher than that reported last time. This percentage in Miaozhai, Fanxian and Dongming is higher than that shown in the last report, but it


38

remains the same in Wuqiu and declines by 8% in Pingyin. Failure to complete housing is mainly caused by the following reasons: (1) they are not able to afford or have built new houses recently; (2) they are hopeful of government subsidies for housing if saying “no”; (3) they wait to see. Refer to Table 25 for detailed figures.

9. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION

9.1 Experience and Inspiration

Having performed 7 M&E campaigns, the External Monitor has obtained experience and inspiration from discussions and interviews with the Employer, Implementing Agency and affected villages/households time and again, including analysis and comparison of findings.


40

(1) Outcome of implementation. Implementation of the ADB-loaned Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project greatly improves the dike safety, especially the resistance to extreme floods. Despite the adverse impacts on the production and livelihood of some farmers, thanks to the dissemination of relevant resettlement agencies and Implementing Agencies and the implementation of appropriate compensation policies, the local farmers have fully understood and accepted the project. In addition, along with the accelerated pace of urbanization in China, farmers have changed greatly their concepts, considering farmer workers and business activities as their major sources of income, rather than taking the land as the sole source. Therefore, the implementation is generally successful, particularly the dike, risky spot and river training subprojects. Efficacy and efficiency are obvious and accepted by all parties, including the majority of affected people.

(2) The mode of ADB-loaned project management has changed the previous concept of project implementation management and improved the resettlement management at all levels. Such mode differs from previous Yellow River land acquisition and resettlement management in the follow aspects:

a. Operation System: Special planning and design of resettlement are developed and then assigned, in the form of agreement (contract) to local governments and special agencies or groups for implementation. The local governments and the Yellow River bureaus are involved in management and resettlement M&E mechanism introduced as a pioneering practice, causing resettlement work to look towards standardization.

b. Process and mode of management: A series of adequate procedures are provided for disbursement and settlement from upper to lower levels. Proper statistic statements and strict procedures are formulated for signing payment, to enable examination and check.

c. Open and transparent information, fairly satisfied with payment: (a) Compensation rates are open, and published in some subprojects by the county government in the form of public notices; (b) notices of entitlements are provided; (c) policies are published promptly and disseminated adequately; (d) compensations are paid at the published or agreed rates.

d. Forceful efforts for supervision: (a) The State Audit Administration conducts overall auditing of the project each year; (b) the executive authorities and Employers carry out irregular inspections each year; (c) the local governments make more efforts in management, together with irregular inspection and special auditing.

e. Attention to vulnerable groups, to reflect the people-oriented concept: Some subprojects necessitate the resettlement of many households, most of which are able to do by themselves, but a few have difficulties in affording new houses. They are provided with relief and properly resettled, e.g. in Mudan, Dongming and Juancheng. This has received much public praise.


41

In a word, joint management of the local governments and the Yellow River bureaus is helpful for improving coordination, keeping aware of the actual conditions in townships and villages, especially villages, and treating problems more smoothly. Management on the basis of agreement (contract) is more legal and effective, meeting the “Regulations for Land Compensation and Resettlement in Major Water and Hydropower Projects” (Decree No. 471 of the State Council), which stipulates that “the Employer shall sign a resettlement agreement, according to the approved resettlement plan, with the provincial, autonomous region, municipal or city/county government of the resettlement area or host area”. The preparation and implementation of resettlement plans and action plans help cost and schedule control and safeguard the legal interests of affected people.

(3) Next steps for further improvement

a. Adequate attention should be paid to the efficiency of coordination between different departments or organizations during resettlement management and implementation.

b. Agreements (contracts) signed separately by projects, specialties and regions will be more beneficial for management. Standard agreements (contracts) will be provided.

c. Resettlement plans and action plans will be detailed further to be more operable, with differences in regions and projects taken into account. For example, the plans and designs of physical relocation should consider the flow direction of the Yellow River, which generally cuts through Henan Province from east to west and passes through Shandong from south to north locally, where most rural houses face south. Therefore, the plans of subprojects in Shandong and Henan should consider different conditions, to fully reflect the people-oriented concept.

d. Integrated guidelines for resettlement management will be provided.

9.2 Conclusions

(1) Compensation rates

A. Dike and river training subprojects

a. In the course of implementation, compensation rates are based on government notices and agreements in addition to the RP and IS.

b. Permanent land acquisition happens in 32 subprojects, 69% of which uses the rates fixed in the RP or IS, 25% applies those published in county government notices, and only 6% adopts agreed rates. Refer to Table 26.

c. Temporary land occupation happens in 45 subprojects, 65% of which uses the rates fixed in the RP or IS, 20% applies those published in county government notices, and 15% adopts agreed rates. Refer to Table 26.


42

d. A total number of 7 subprojects involves physical relocation, including 43% uses the rates set forth in the RP or IS, while the rest 57% applies those published in county government notices. Refer to Table 26.

e. Price adjustment is made to the permanent land use for Kaifeng in Kaifeng Outskirts, temporary land use for treading in Juancheng and brick-concrete housing in Mudan only during implementation.

f. The current rates for permanent land use, either the published, or agreed or adjusted rates, are basically below the RP or IS, while those for temporary land use are over those fixed in the IS. The rates for physical relocation are all lower than as fixed in the RP or government notices.

B. Village platform subprojects

The compensation rates for the 5 village platform subprojects are based on the RP, IS and government notices, and different from one place to another during implementation. The standards and forms compensation are determined by the local government.

(2) Payment

a. By the time of this M&E, 315.83 million RMB has been paid as direct costs for dike, risky spot and river training subprojects, taking up 88% of the total, 56.70.77 million RMB more than the amount reported last time.

b. With an additional amount of 6.2563 million RMB paid according to the duration of occupation and progress of land adjustment or physical relocation, the cumulative payment for village platform subprojects amounts to 23.9901 million RMB.

(3) Permanent land acquisition and economic rehabilitation

a. The completed area for the permanent use of 37 subprojects by the time of this M&E is 21,946.36 mu, taking up 87.2% and 90.3% of the RP and IS respectively, 1,686.97 mu or 8.3% more than the figure reflected in the last report, or 8.3%.

b. Permanent land use for 32 dike, risky spot and river training subprojects involves a lot, including 249 villages, 588 groups, 19,789 households and 85,734 people, with a per capita loss of 0.12 mu, which takes up 8.2% of the original area of 1.457 mu. The mode of economic rehabilitation is basically determined, with Options A chosen by


43

58.2 Groups, Option B by 34.2% and Option C by 7.3% respectively. The mode for the rest groups is still under discussion.

c. As for economic rehabilitation for the 5 village platform subprojects, land adjustment between villages/groups and within groups in village platform subprojects is arranged according to a balance between project benefits and disbenefits, with land adjusted between 53% villages and between/within 60% groups, 3% and 2% higher than the percentage reported last time.

(4) Temporary land occupation and restoration

a. Temporary land use for the 45 implemented subprojects involves 319 villages, with a completed area of 49,151.59 mu, taking up 84.5% and 83.7% of the RP and IS respectively, 8,182.97 mu or 20% more than the figure reported last time.

b. The land for the temporary use of dike, risky spot and river training subprojects has been restored by 76.8%, versus 68% for village platform subprojects. The remaining land, mostly fresh floodland for pumping purposes, will be restored when flooded.

(5) Income recovery

a. More than 80% of the affected people do not think their family incomes are greatly affected as result of land acquisition, and 40% have used their land compensations for the purpose of farming development.

b. About 90% households in the completed subprojects have reached or exceeded their original income levels, versus 66% in the follow-up monitoring subprojects. As the recovery time extends, more and more households will achieve income recovery and join non-poor people. Also, the speed of income recovery in 2/3 subprojects is higher than the growth rate in the project area.

c. Even the sample households having lost much land are subject to minor impacts, to say nothing of those having lost less land.

(6) Physical relocation and housing restoration

a. Land use for dike and 11 village platform subprojects necessitates physical relocation of 927 households, 97.5% of which have been relocated. Homesteads are identified for all the 824 households in need, including 80% having built new houses. The total number of resettlement families includes 69.7% resettled permanently by building or buying houses and 9.7% living in other houses elsewhere, and 20.6% temporarily by renting, borrowing and constructing temporary dwellings.

b. Main works for village platforms are completed, but infrastructures are still under construction or are to be started. Housing is started in Pingyin.

c. The baseline census and 1st-7th M&E results of 2,092 people in 5 village platform subprojects indicate that more than 88% people are willing to move because of flood


44

risks, but only 16% are able to complete housing within 2 years the completion of village platforms, while the rest 84% are unable to make it due to economic and other reasons.

(7) Reconstruction of schools

a. Altogether 4 primary schools are involved.

b. Liuzhuang in Kaifeng and Xuji and Yantan in Dongming are completed, where the schooling conditions are bettered and orders are resumed.

c. An obvious progress has been made in reconstructing Donglou School, with 4.5 mu acquired as new site and 13 rooms (310 m2) completed. Pupils in higher grades are studying at the central primary school, and Grades 1 and 2 previously staying in rent rooms are moved to the new school, where the conditions and circumstances are improved.

(8) Protection of rights and interests

a. Training for resettlement staff is fine and technical training for the affected people is implemented by some subprojects, with good results achieved. The affected people are willing to be trained.

b. Help for moving poor families is promised by the local government, rehabilitation of vulnerable groups in dike subprojects is helped by townships and villages;

c. Vulnerable groups enjoy the equal rights as other villagers in land compensation and resettlement, the local government has clearly promised to help move the poor families in village platform subprojects, but case-specific preferential policies are not provided by other subprojects.

9.3 Problems and Recommendations

The problems identified in the last report are solved as follows:

(1) Lower compensation rates for some subprojects: Dongming and Mudan Implementing Agencies have prepared detailed action plans and submitted to the Employer, with the balance used for the purpose of bridges, roads, canals, streets and other public services. The previous balance in Dongming has been paid by 56%, with the remaining being under implementation.

(2) Payment: Compensations for the permanent land use of Huangzhai, Huozhai, Baocheng and Gaocun are paid in full to townships and villages by the county land bureau, while those for the permanent land use of break forests are paid to households. Payment of direct costs for Kaifeng and Lankao is finished except for an additional budget for young crops due to permanent land use (775,400 RMB for Kaifeng and 437,800 for Lankao).

(3) Training for skills: Technical training for the affected people begins to draw attention.


45

Training programs for cropping, animal raising and other skills have been prepared for 12 out of 44 subprojects in the need of such training, and implemented by 5 (refer to Sub-section 8.1 above).

(4) Land restoration: A progress has been made in land restoration. An additional area of 1,000 mu has been restored in Dongming, where the remaining land includes 788 mu for pumping (53 mu farmland), 1,904 mu for excavation (563 mu farmland) and 29 mu for treading (for canals). The restored area in Lankao (152) is enlarged by 334.47 mu, but it is difficult to restore the remaining land operated to a depth of 8-10. Both Implementing Agencies and affected people have promised to restore the land step by step in combination with other new projects.

(5) Reconstruction of schools: A progress has been achieved in reconstructing Donglou School, with new rooms built and operation into service. Land leveling for Liuzhuang School is finished and an access road is built.

(6) Drainage in construction: As construction comes to an end, this is no longer a problem in Mudan. In Juancheng where construction was just finished, drainage impacts by pumping works will be eliminated step by step. Compensations have been paid for the houses and crops previously inundated in a few villages, e.g. 600 RMB/mu in Juancheng.

Outstanding problems together with recommendations are summarized in Table 27.

Table 27 Summary of Outstanding Problems and Recommendations No. Problem Description Recommendation

(1) Inadequate work is done in technical training for affected people.

Prepare and implement training programs as soon as possible.

1 Economic rehabilitation (2) Land restoration in Puyang and Dongpinghu (77) is

partly unfinished, or the standard is inadequate, rather difficult for farmers to restore alone in the near future.

The relevant departments pay attention to this and help the villagers achieve land restoration as soon as possible.

2 Impact on livelihood

(3) Poor drainage in Juancheng remains a problem somewhere.

The Implementing Agency cause proper treatment.

10. RESPONSE TO RELEVANT QUESTIONS IN ADB’S AIDE MEMOIRE

Table 28 below responds to the “ADB’s Discussion Notes on Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Report No. 6”, which is copied and included in the table as “ADB’s Comments”.

Table 28 Response to ADB’s Comments ADB’s Comments Response of External Monitor

1. ADB comments (from RSES) were provided to YRCC Resettlement Office, the external monitor, and discussed during the Review Mission.

The External monitor has received and fully understood the ADB Comments.

2. The M&E Reports should compare progress and achievements against the RPs. The Implementation Scheme is an updated set of impacts and revised budget, but the standards should be no lower than the approved RPs. One explanation in the summary section would be sufficient to clarify this. 3. The report should clearly explain the reason for the lower

Both Reports 6 and 7 delineate the reasons of lower standards in Sections 2.1.1-2.1.3 “Compensation Rates”, and describe the measures for treating the resultant balance of resettlement costs.


46

compensation rates. ADB recognizes that the reasons were given in earlier M&E Reports but since this is now a major remaining issue, the current M&E Reports should briefly summarize the reasons why lower rates were paid and what measures have been taken to mitigate this issue. 4. The Provincial Audit Bureaus and YRCC Supervision collect spot checks on resettlement fund disbursement, the Mission was pleased to learn that the external monitor has collected accurate information on disbursements made by YRCC and the subsequent disbursements by local government to affected persons. In this manner, it is possible to determine where the un-disbursed amounts are and follow-up actions can be expedited. The external monitor also clarified that since the funds were approved by NDRC/MWR, they must be spent on rehabilitation measures for the affected persons according to national regulations. ADB requested the external monitor to (i) participate in the preparation of the Action Plan, (ii) ensure there is adequate consultation and disclosure to affected villages and (iii) monitor expenditures to ensure the affected persons will benefit.

This is responded to in Report No. 7, “2.1.4 Payment”.

5. Now that the Project is approaching completion, the M&E Reports should provide a balanced evaluation of both the positive and negative achievements and the lessons learned.

Refer to Report 7, “9.1 Experience and Inspiration”.

6. There was significant discussion regarding the evaluation sections on income restoration. Section 7 is the main section (in both the summary report and the separate appendixes) but section 7.4 (and Table 2) is out of place since it deals only with the impact of the land loss; it should come earlier so the reader can understand the change in incomes before and after impacts and compare the actual results. The conclusion (Section 7.5) says incomes are higher, but the key numbers are not presented here. How did compensation and rehabilitation measures help APs restore their incomes? Also, the concluding sections of the appendixes for the completion reports again summarize the income loss caused by land loss, rather than the actual income changes. The evaluation should focus on the latter and highlight those villages or households where incomes have not been restored. 7. The income analysis should have a representative baseline. The year 2003 was selected but in Kaifeng and Lankao Counties, incomes were affected by floods, so the base year incomes need to be adjusted to reflect a more normal year. Also, the target income should consider average rural income increases to ensure the APs have kept up with the other villagers in the Project area. 8. The income analysis should be more thorough in order to assess (i) the income effects for seriously affected households and (ii) the difference between villages that selected land adjustment, cash compensation or replacement land. The data is available so only further analysis is required; results can then be summarized in the M&E Reports. 9. The approach to survey sample households is the key method for evaluating income restoration, but such results can be supported by (i) conducting focus group discussions with village groups (e.g., to see how funds were spent and which rehabilitation measures worked best) and (ii) assessing changes in

This Report No. 7 discusses in detail the income recovery of affected people through analysis (quantitative and qualitative) of sample households in different types, trend of income growth in the subproject areas, and interview with typical households (with more land loss). Refer to “7 Income Recovery”.


47

village statistics (e.g., average income growth, farm output, share of income from farming, and average expenditures). This information will help to isolate and explain the changes related to resettlement impacts and the compensation and rehabilitation measures. 10. The evaluation reports should provide gender disaggregated data and include gender assessment of impacts, living conditions, livelihood changes and income generation.

Such data are collected, but China’s livelihood is based on family units, where all members, male or female, are equal, so it is hard to distinguish the impacts, living conditions, livelihood changes and income generation by sex.

11. The external monitor should participate in the formulation of the Training Plans, since they have good insight on income effects and income restoration. Training should be based on villager’s needs and the most effective training courses and methods. The people to be trained should target (i) those most seriously affected, (ii) those who are vulnerable or facing difficulties due to resettlement impacts, and (iii) at least 50% should be women (i.e., since they tend to be less mobile, this should focus on home-based income generation activities). Although some vulnerable people may be too old for training, training/education can be provided for their children or a close relative. Livelihood development training should also be provided to village leaders to ensure the household and village strategies are implemented well and sustainable. The Training Plan will utilize project funds but should be integrated with the local government training programs to have greater impact.

Refer to Report 7, “8.1 Training”.

12. The external monitor agreed that the draft Action Plan addresses the main resettlement problems. They will place special focus on monitoring the Action Plan progress in the next M&E Report. Other investigations and problem identification will be continued so that less significant problems are still resolved in a timely manner (e.g., drainage problems, land adjustment and house construction).

Action Plans are arranged for the balance of some subprojects, e.g., Dongming, Mudan, Juancheng dike, , Huangzhai, Huozhai, Baocheng and Gaocun. These plans are mostly oriented to public services such as bridges, roads, canals and streets. Now they are under implementation.

13. Finally, continued attention should be placed on vulnerable groups and the measures taken and results should be documented in the M&E Reports. Since some subprojects have remaining funds to disburse, this is a good opportunity to target vulnerable affected households, including those having difficulties in restoring their livelihood.

Refer to Report 7, “8.3 Vulnerable Groups”.

1. GENERAL

1.1 Project Brief

Yuanyang dike consolidation (100+800~124+700 and 142+400~148+350 sections on the left bank) is a subproject (referred to as the “Yuanyang Subproject” hereinafter) of the ADB-loaned Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project, with a total length of 29.85 km. This part of dike consolidation is implemented by warping with a design width of 80 m.

Xinxiang Yellow River Service acts as the Employer, with Yellow River Engineering Co., Ltd. appointed as the Designer. Yuanyang County has set up a Leading Group to function as the Implementing Agency in charge of land acquisition and resettlement.

The total budget approved by the State for this subproject is 394.96 million RMB, including 78.17 million RMB for land acquisition and resettlement (including 71.87 million RMB direct resettlement costs). By the time of this M&E, an additional amount of 11.552 million has been approved, including 2.7101 million RMB direct cost, which is 1.6362 million RMB more than the figure included in the approved budget. According to letter Nos.[2006]119 and [2007]90 of YRCC, an additional amount of 949,700 RMB is provided as compensation for young crops and 124,200 RMB for temporary land use. The completed amount of direct costs is 72.0336 million RMB, taking up 96.6% of the total. Refer to Table 1-1 for details.

In the Resettlement Plan (referred to as “RP” hereinafter), it was planned to acquire 3,672.38 mu (including 1,168.72 mu non-productive land) for permanent and 11,622.24 mu (including 877.76 mu non-productive land) for temporary use, versus 3,392.01mu and 12,515.42 mu in the Implementation Scheme (referred to as the “Scheme hereinafter”). As of the this M&E, permanent land acquisition has been finished, with a total area of 2,501.22 mu (excluding non-productive land). The completed area for temporary use is 12,231.83 mu.


With preparation and field work conducted in September 2007, this M&E report is prepared on the basis of data interpretation and statistical analysis.

M&E activities mainly include: (1) treatment of the difference between current and approved compensation rates for permanent land use; (2) progress of permanent land use, payment and economic rehabilitation since the last M&E; (3) additional temporary land use, affected area,

impact, payment, and restoration; (4) replacement of special facilities; (5) disbursement and payment; (6) training in production skills and protection of vulnerable groups; and (7) recovery of incomes of sample households since 2006.

A total area of 2,501.22 mu has been completed, 32.09 mu more than the figure reflected in the last report. The completed area for temporary use is 12,231.83 mu, including 7,832.09 mu restored already. There is no major change in special facility replacement, public participation, complaints management, resettlement training and vulnerable groups.

This report is focused on addressing the economic rehabilitation for permanent land use, the status of additional temporary land use, together with its affected area, impact, payment and restoration, and the income recovery of sample households in 2006.

3. PERMANENT LAND USE AND ECONOMIC REHABILITATION

There is an additional area of 32.09 mu for the permanent use of canals, totally farmland of Yuanyang Water Resources Bureau. The completed total area for permanent land use by the time of this M&E is 2,501.22 mu (excluding non-productive land), including 1,459.64 mu for main works and 1,041.58 mu for canals, accounting for 62 of 2,343.1 mu and 99% of 1,048.91 mu proposed in the Scheme.

The mode and progress of economic rehabilitation have not changed in any way since the last report, so they are not to be discussed herein. Refer to Table 3-1 for detailed information.

This M&E includes a survey of 50 households, in the form of multiple choice questionnaires, regarding the impacts of land acquisition, the use of compensations and the remedy measures for income recovery. This total number of 50 households includes 40% with less income from farming activities but more from other sources, without any impact on the total income, 52% subject to minor impacts due to less land loss, 2% subject to minor impacts due to the interior quality of lost land, and 6% exposed to major impacts.

Subsequent to farmland reduction, most farmers recover their family incomes by working as farmer workers, taking up 64% of the total number of people interviewed, while the others achieve income recovery by other means, including 14% by business, 16% by reclaiming waste land or contracting land, and 2% by developing farming, animal raising and plastic tunnel activities due to various restraints. The rest 16% have not taken any action.

4. TEMPORARY LAND OCCUPATION AND RESTORATION

Temporary land occupation: The main works are completed. The completed total area for temporary use is 12,231.83 mu, which is 2,511.74 mu more than the figure reflected in the last report, taking up 98 of 12,515.42 mu in the Scheme. Refer to Table 4-1.

Compensation for temporary land occupation: Compensations are paid to villages according to the construction schedules and agreed quantities at the rates fixed in the approved Scheme, 2,408 RMB/mu for farmland and 690 RMB/mu for floodland. As found in this M&E, the farmers considered the approved rates too low to be acceptable, and allowances were offered by contractors sometimes, mainly for the land used for warping and excavation works, at the rates depending the depth of excavation: 2,600-3,00 RMB/mu for excavation with a depth of 2-3 m and 2,600-10,000 RMB/mu for pumping with a depth of 3-10 m.

Land restoration: It is shown by the survey results that 7,832.09 mu for temporary use has been restored, 64% of the total area for temporary use, 15% more than reported last time. Some lands were restored, but the signing of agreements was delayed sometimes. Agreements

How temporary land occupation affected the farmers’ production and livelihood has attracted the high attention of previous M&E activities. As found in our field survey of the affected villages and households, the production of one crop was generally affected, but farmers were compensated for this. Moreover, better irrigation and soil improvement increased output of the previously uneven and highly desertified farmland.

This M&E includes interviews with typical households in Xiaoliugu, where much land was used for temporary use. Refer to the box below.

Interview 1 Temporary Land Use for Excavation Background: The land area for temporary use in Xiaoliugu was 1,202.96 mu, including 1,109.66 mu for pumping to a depth of 2-3 m. According to the schedule, borrow area operation affected the output of autumn crops in 2005 or spring ones in 2006. Compensations have been paid. Profile of Interviewee: Name: Lou Shengli, Sex: Male, Age: 45, Education: Junior middle school, Position: Party secretary, Family size: 6 people Brief of interview: Lou had 12 mu farmland, which was totally used for pumping works to a depth of 3 m, affecting the autumn crops 2006. A total amount of 38,400 RMB was paid at the rate of 3,200 RMB/mu. Land restoration was finished at the time of this interview. The original farmland was uneven and highly desertified. After borrow area operation, sand soils were removed and soil properties changed, with clay left in the field and crop output improved (see Photograph 1). Removal of pest-containing soils enabled less use of pesticide. The compensations were used to establish a dairy, which cost 60,000 RMB, including a bank loan. With workshops completed, he is about to purchase dairy cattle (see Photograph 2).

5. INCOME RECOVERY

As required in the TOR, sample households opting for land adjustment and cash payment (referred to “Option A” and “Option B”) are selected for follow-up monitoring, with a percentage not less than 50% of the affected sample households. Altogether 50 households are selected, including 29 opting Option B and 21 for Option A.

5.1 Constituents and Changes of Incomes

As indicated by our follow-up monitoring results of 50 samples households in 12 villages, there was a per capita income of 1,920 RMB before land acquisition in 2004, versus 2,072 RMB in 2005 and 2,442 RMB in 2006 after land acquisition, meaning a tendency of increase from year to year. Major sources of income included farming, sideline, fruit, animal raising and others. Farming produced 1,025 RMB in 2004, 903 RMB in 2005 and 1,063 RMB in 2006, taking up 53%, 44% and 44% of the per capita income. This source of income declined in the first year of land acquisition, 122 RMB less than in the base year of 2004, but increased by in 2006, 38 RMB more, indicating that the income from farming activities was restored to a certain extent. Subsequent land acquisition, the income from sideline activities went up year by year, from 748 RMB in 2004 to 1,156 RMB in 2006, and contributed more and more to the total family income, from 39% to 47%. Refer to Table 5-1 and Chart 1.

The per capita income of sample households was not reduced as a subsequence of farmland reduction, mainly because (1) the structure of incomes changed – more income was produced by sidelines, especially farmer workers, which offset the loss due to farmland reduction; and (2) some farmers rent land after farmland reduction, mainly in Dawuzhuang and Dianchige, where farmland was rent from the army to offset the lost income of farming.

5.2 Income Constituents and Changes in Option A and Option B

During this M&E, 29 sample households choosing Option A and 21 preferring Option B were selected for follow-up monitoring of their income changes subsequent to land acquisition.

5.2.1 Option A

The monitoring covers 29 sample households from 8 villages, namely, Fengzhuang, Huangsi, Liuyuan, Lougudui, Didong, Hucunpu, Jiatan and Nainaimiao. The monitoring results show a total farmland area of 224.85 mu and per capita area of 1.48 mu before land acquisition, versus 204.45 mu and 1.34 mu thereafter, or a loss of 0.14 mu per capita.

These families had a per capita income of 2,012 RMB in 2004 (without land acquisition), 2,086 RMB in 2005 and 2,562 RMB in 2006, including 1,069 RMB, 1,031 RMB and 1,187 RMB from farming. The income inclined in the first year after land acquisition, but increased from the second year.


69

To look into the reason that farming incomes were not reduced, it is known that the sharing of the loss of farmland mitigated the impacts of land acquisition and that the recent escalation of food prices implied slightly higher incomes despite the increase of production costs, with an increase of 118 RMB in the per capita farming income in 2006 than in 2004, a percentage of 11%. Refer to Table 5-2 and Chart 2.

The per capita income from sideline activities was 824 RMB in 2004, 781 RMB in 2005 and 1,145 RMB in 2006, accounting for 41%, 42% and 45% to the total income. Both amounts and percentages increased from year to year. Typically, 3 sample households in Didong were absolutely dependent upon farming in 2004, but earned 2,208 RMB per capita from sideline in 2006, constituting 56% of the total income and representing a major change to the structure of income. Refer to the interview with a typical household. In 2006, there was a decline of 39 RMB in Lougudui in comparison with the income level of 2004, largely attributable to less income from farming and sideline.

As analyzed above, land acquisition has not posed major impacts on the income of sample households.

Interview regarding Income Recovery (Option A)

Time: 2007-09-13 Place: Didong Villager Committee, Jiangzhuang Township Interviewee Code: YYDFJZHDD1 Position: Vice Village Leader Sex: Male Age: 42 Education: Junior middle school Background: The village comprised of 11 villager groups, all involved in the acquisition of 73.01 mu, totally collective farmland except for 49.9 contracted land of Group 6. Money was distributed and land adjustment completed by Group 6 in the same year of land acquisition. The resultant per capita farmland reduction was 0.07 mu only, without any major impact on the affected households. The farmers’ incomes were not reduced as a consequence. Brief of interview: Interviewer: Hello, sorry to bother you again. This time we came to follow your change of income on the basis of previous findings and know how you have been affected as a result of land acquisition. Interviewee: OK, thank you for your interest. Interviewer: You are from Group 6, where land adjustment has happened. How much farmland have you lost after land adjustment? Interviewee: 0.2 mu, with 7.8 mu now. Interviewer: How much money have you received as land compensation? How many times has it been paid? What are the constituents? How have you used the money? Interviewee: 8,000 RMB as a lump sum at the rate of 1,600 RMB/person. Since the money was shared and land adjusted, payment was made to all. I have put the majority in farming activities. Interviewer: As the farmland is reduced, what have you done to offset your income loss? Interviewee: At present my income mainly comes from small business. For instance, I provided signboards on both sides of the expressway in 2006, and let it out for 10,000 RMB a year. Ordinarily, I make some money from doing some small. My farmland is principally the source of food for personal consumption, not the source of income. Interviewer: Do you think your family income is greatly affected by farmland reduction? Interviewee: With land adjustment, no major impact. Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the existing production/living conditions? What’s your plan for the future? Interviewee: Basically satisfied, hoping to make more money by doing business. Interviewer: Thank you and wish you a better life.

5.2.2 Option B

The follow-up monitoring covers 21 sample households in 5 villages, namely, Dawuzhuang, Dianchige, Taoyuan, Lougudui and Shizhuang. The monitoring results show a total farmland area of 123.6 mu and per capita area of 1.3 mu before land acquisition, versus 82.27 mu and 0.87 mu thereafter, or a loss of 0.43 mu per capita.

These families had a per capita income of 1,773 RMB in 2004, 2,051 RMB in 2005 and 2,253 RMB in 2006, with a tendency of increase in both per capita and farming incomes.

The per capita income from sideline activities was 955 RMB in 2004, 697 RMB in 2005 and 866 RMB in 2006. It was considerably decreased in the very year of land acquisition (2005) and recovered the next year, but still less than that of 2004. The proportion declined from 54% to 38%. The loss of farmland and escalation of production costs were both the cause of less income from farming (especially in Dawuzhuang, Lougudui and Shizhuang). Some farmers in Dawuzhuang and Shizhuang rent the farmland of army nearby, to offset the loss due to farmland reduction. Refer to the interview with typical households.

Interview regarding Income Recovery (Option B) Time: 2007-09-13 Place: Dawuzhuang Villager Committee, Doumen Township Interviewee Code: YYDFDMDWZH20 Position: Farmer Sex: Male Age: 46 Education: Junior middle school Background: The village comprised of 7 villager groups, all involved in land acquisition. A total area of 174 mu was acquired for permanent use, including 156.82 mu farmland (143.1 mu contracted land). Option B was adopted as the mode of economic rehabilitation, with land compensations paid to land losers at the rate of 9,050 RMB/mu. Being close to an army’s farm, some farmers rent land from the farm. Brief of interview: Interviewer: Hello, sorry to bother you. This time we came to follow your change of income on the basis of previous findings and know how you have been affected as a result of land acquisition. Interviewee: OK, thank you for your kindness. Interviewer: According to the follow-up monitoring data, 2.2 mu of our family was acquired for permanent use and compensated for a lump sum of 19,910 RMB at the rate of 9,050 RMB/mu (excluding the unpaid price adjustment), without land adjustment. Interviewee: You are right. I have been compensated for the use of farmland. Interviewer: How have you used the money? Interviewee: Mainly used as input in farming, including chemical fertilizer and pesticide, and partly for my child’s wedding. Interviewer: There are 5 people in your family, but only 2.3 mu farmland, is it enough? As farmland is reduced, what have you done to offset your income loss? Interviewee: The farmland can solve the issue of grain rations. Less farmland means surplus of labor forces, so I rent 4 mu from the army to gain more from farming. In addition, My child and I make some money by working outside as farmer workers. Interviewer: Do you think your family income is greatly affected by farmland reduction? Interviewee: It is affected somewhat, but the loss is partly offset by rending farmland and working as farmer works. Interviewer: The reality is there, no chance to change. Anyway, I hope for good weather for the crops, good harvests and more job opportunities.

Interviewer: Thank you and wish you a better life.

The income from sideline was 626 RMB in 2004, 1,150 RMB in 2005 and 1,175 RMB in 2006, taking up 35%, 56% and 52% of the total income, with an increase in both amounts and percentages. The percentage in 2006 was 17% higher than in 2004.

As analyzed above, less was generated by farming. Adjusted structure of cropping activities mitigated the income loss, better awareness of farmer workers and business improved the income from sideline activities, and employment of farmer workers and renting of farmland offset the impacts by farmland reduction. Therefore, the per capita income was not lowered. Refer to Table 5-3 and Chart 3.

6.1 Training for Skills

The investigation shows that the affected people have never been trained in farming skills, resettlement policies, regulations and other aspects, but they wish to be trained in mastering farming skills, adjusting planting structures, and developing animal raising activities. To meet the demands of farmers, training programs for plastic tunnel, animal raising and cropping skills were developed in the Implementing Agencies in 2007, though these programs have not been implemented yet.


This M&E includes high attention to the impact on the production and living of vulnerable groups due to dike construction. As shown by survey results, the affected vulnerable groups enjoy the equal rights as others and compensations have been paid to them.

Among the families enjoy “five-guarantees”, those unable to take care of themselves in daily life can choose to go to the old folks home, while others capable of taking care of themselves are paid 60 RMB living allowances from the government each month and supported by villages in both farming and living. Also, relief such as flour and bed quilt is offered by the county and township civil administrations on holidays and festivals.

Women headed families are mostly dependent upon themselves, whereas the disabled with certificates of disability are entitled of cash relief each year.

The vulnerable groups enjoy the equal rights as others in the respect of land compensation, without case-specific preferential policies.


7.1 Settlement of Earlier Problems

Agreements on price adjustment were signed with affected villages at the time of this M&E, with the compensation rate adjusted from 9,050 RMB/mu to 9,630 RMB. Payment has been made to villages.

Agreements on land restoration were signed and implemented.

7.2 Evaluation and Recommendations

Main works are to be taken over very soon. Land acquisition and resettlement are basically finished, with 2,501.22 mu acquired for permanent and 12,231.83 mu for temporary use, 7,832.09 mu restored, and 72.0336 million RMB disbursed.

(1) Compensation rates

The rate of 9,050 RMB/mu is used for permanent land use, mainly on the basis of “Circular Letter on Publishing Compensation Rates for Appurtenances on the Land Acquired for State Construction in Xinxiang” issued by Xinxiang City Government in letter No. [1993]229, but 9,630 RMB/mu is approved in the Scheme. At Present, agreements on price adjustment are


74

being signed and implemented, and other rates applied as approved in the Scheme.

(2) Permanent land acquisition and economic rehabilitation

The completed land area for permanent use is 2,501.22 mu (excluding non-productive land), taking up 68% of the RP and 74% of the Scheme, involving 7 townships, 36 villages and 139 groups. The mode of economic rehabilitation is up to the farmers, with Option B chosen by 58 groups and Option B by 79. The rest 2 groups have not made a decision. With farmland reduced, the farmers take various measures to increase their family incomes, such as working as farmer workers, doing business and renting farmland.


Most of the land for temporary use is highly desertified hilly land and uneven farmland hard to irrigate. With compensations, farmers are willing to provide their land. The completed area for temporary use is 12,231.83 mu, including 7,832.09 mu.

(4) Income recovery

As known from income analysis of 50 sample households in 2004, 2005 and 2006, 78% of them have a per capita income not less than that without land acquisition. Option B causes more impacts on farming incomes, but the farmers have recovered by renting farmland or working as farmer workers, so their income is not reduced as a result of farmland reduction. Option A enables the sharing of loss and avoids any major impacts on farming incomes, thus the total income is not less as compared with the level without land acquisition (except for a decline of 39 RMB in Lougudui). Income recovery is achieved by working as farmer workers, doing business and other means.

It is recommended that training programs be implemented as early as possible.

Restoration of the remaining land and payment of the balance will be emphasized in future M&E.

2. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

It is the 4th M&E of Puyang Subproject. TOR was prepared and questionnaires formulated in September 2007, which was followed by field work. This report is prepared on the basis of subsequent field work, data processing and statistical analysis.

The focus of this M&E includes: (1) any change in permanent land acquisition and payment since the 3rd M&E, including economic rehabilitation; (2) the progress of temporary land use, payment, land restoration; (3) the status of physical relocation and rehabilitation of housing conditions; (4) the replacement of schools and special facilities, including disbursement and outstanding problems; and (5) the income recovery of sample households in 2006.

As understood in field surveys, a total area of 2,124.68 mu has been completed for temporary use, 1,187.64 mu more than the figure reflected in the last report. A progress has been made in school replacement, which is finished already, but without any change in permanent land acquisition, public participation, complaints management and vulnerable groups protection.

This report is focused on: additional temporary land use, affected area, extent of impact, land restoration, restoration of housing conditions, reconstruction of schools, and income recovery of sample households in 2006.

83

Compensations are paid to villages and shared equally by all within the group, with land adjustment, or paid directly to households, without land adjustment (referred to as “Option A” or “Option B”). Land adjustment has been nearly finished by the time of this M&E.

As understood in interviews with the village leaders, the affected people have taken various measures to mitigate/offset the income impacts by farmland reduction, including farmer worker, business and extensive farming in account of their own capability and affordability.

To further understand what the affected people have done to recover their family incomes, 45 sample households have been selected and interviewed in the following aspects: (1) how was your family income affected as a result of farmland reduction? (2) how did you use you land compensations? what did you do to recovery you family income? As shown by the findings:

(1) Income impacts by farmland reduction: The total number of 45 households includes 22 households with less income from farming activities but more from other sources, without any impact on the total income, 10 subject to minor impacts due to less land loss, 8 subject to minor impacts due to interior quality of lost land, and 5 exposed to major impacts, taking up 48.9%, 22.2%, 17.8% and 11.1% respectively,

(2) Use of land compensations: Land compensations are used for farming by 14 (31.1%) of these 45 sample households, medical fees, children’s tuitions and daily expenses by 24 (53.3%), housing by 10 (22.2%), and business and debit repayment by others.

(3) Income recovery: The affected people have implemented various measures to recovery family incomes after farmland reduction, including 29 households working as farmer workers (64.5%), 2 doing business (4.4%), and 14 trusting to luck (31.1%).

Refer to Table 4 for a summary of impacts, remedy measures, and compensation uses.

3.3 Temporary Land Occupation and Restoration

Temporary Land Occupation: As main works are almost completed, temporary land occupation is finished, involving 4 townships and 22 villages. A total area of 2,124.68 mu has been agreed and completed, 1,187.64 mu larger than the figure reported last time, taking up 92% of 2,300.98 mu proposed in the RP and 90% of 2,359.52 mu in the Scheme.

(1) Occupation: a total of 369.82 mu in 17 villages of 4 townships;

(2) Excavation: a total of 1,754.85 mu in 10 villages of 2 townships. To minimize the use of land, many lands are used for both pumping and excavation works during construction. It is hard to take them apart, so they are all considered as land for excavation. Excavation mostly happens in Donglou, Tunzhuang, Houliyuan and Mahai of Liyuan Township, Wuxiangtun and Suliangzhuang of Wangchenggu.

The lands for temporary use in Donglou, Tunzhuang, Houliyuan and Mahai of Liyuan Township are all located in low-lying areas on the waterside, with low and instable outputs. In Wuxiangtun and Suliangzhuang, the lands for such purposes are all fresh floodland near the river course, to be restored naturally when flooded, normally one crop in the year.

Land Restoration

(1) Occupation: The land for temporary use can be restored naturally upon completion of the project. Up to date, 275.42 mu has been restored, accounting for 74% of 369.83 mu occupied. The remaining land is not restored yet because some pipes are not removed and will be used for warping purposes of land restoration.

(2) Excavation: A total area of 1,754.85 mu has been used for excavation, including 574.41 mu restored already, taking up 33%. The remaining lands are distributed in Wuxiangtun and Suliangzhuang, all fresh floodland close to the Yellow River, to be restored naturally by gravity warping. This will not be a big problem. The lands for excavation in Donglou and Houliyuan, all located on the waterside and at the dike foot, are used as agreed in the “Agreement on Soil Improvement” between villages and contractors, who have promised to restore the lands about 0.5 m above the ground in the surroundings by May 2007. Also, it is stated in the agreement that compensation will be paid continuously if there is any delay in restoration. Land restoration is partly unfinished and compensations are not paid to households as agreed. This will continue to draw the attention of the M&E team.

Refer to Photographs 1 and 2 for the progress of temporary land occupation and restoration, and also Table 5 for detailed information.

3.4 Physical Relocation and Resettlement

In the RP, physical relocation involves 6 villages, 205 households and 819 persons, versus 6, 258 and 1,188 in the Scheme (excluding 59 idle houses of 271 people). According to resurvey results, it is necessary to relocate 227 households. This part of work is finished, involving 6 villages and 970 people, including 48 households and 208 people in Qianliyuan, 48 and 270 in Houliyuan, 37 and 180 in Donglou, 3 and 14 persons in Qianchen, 79 and 226 in Houchen, 12 and 72 in Zhaozhuang. The removed total housing area is 33,241.54 m2, including 1,586.42 m2 multistory, 4,180.03 m2 brick-concrete, 23,393.71 m2 brick-timer, 667.85 m2 earth-timer, 3,413.53 m2 simple and other structures.

By the time of report, 227 households have been completed, 78 more than the figure reported last time, taking up 88% of the total number of 258 households.

Homesteads are needed for all of these 227 households. Now, this part of work is finished, 25 households more than reported last time, or a percentage of 6%.

Altogether 177 households have moved to new houses, an increase of 62 in comparison with the progress made by the last M&E, or 24.5%, while 28 live in borrowed houses, 10 in rent ones and 12 in other dwelling places. The progress of physical relocation meets the schedule of construction. Resettlement families are resettled properly. New houses are improved in


86

respect of floor area, lighting and structure. Water/power supply is nearly completed. Living circumstances are somewhat bettered. Refer to Photographs 3 and 4.

As known from interviews with the Implementing Agency and the affected households, some people are not eager to build new houses partly because they are busy as farmer works or businessmen all the year round, without thinking about housing, and partly because they live with their children, without any plan to build new houses at present. Tables 6 and 7 show the progress of physical relocation and resettlement.

3.5 Reconstruction of School

Donglou Primary School in Liyuan Township needs to be removed and reconstructed. On the principle of restoring the “original scale, original standard, original function”, a new school is to be built in the original village. The budget is 264,400 RMB (excluding land acquisition for the new site) in the RP and 270,200 RMB in the Scheme, including house compensation, ground leveling, access road, power/power supply and other infrastructures. Now, this amount of 270,200 RMB has been disbursed to Donglou in full as agreed. The new site is wide open and immediately close to the main street in the village, convenient for pupils to go to school.

A significant progress has been made since the last M&E, including the acquisition of 4.5 mu land and completion of 13 rooms (310m2), which are being installed with doors/windows and painted. When this report is completed, Grades 1-3 will have been moved to new classrooms at the end of November 2007. As illustrated in Photographs 5 and 5, the new school and its surroundings are much better.

3.6 Replacement of Special Facilities

The affected special facilities include roads, power lines, telecommunications and irrigation facilities. Those having lost functions are excluded from the RP and are not to be replaced.

Qingjiangou, previously an irrigation and drainage canal, is already restored and put into operation.

The access bridge across the ditch is restored with additional compensations.

Yanglougou, which used to be a drainage ditch not related to farming significantly, has not been implemented since the new site is not determined yet. To implement as planned will necessitate the resettlement of many people and represent a high degree of difficulty.

The restoration of service roads is underway.

Replacement is not necessary for some power and telecommunications facilities, which are compensated only, but necessary for others. This part of work is finished.

4. INCOME RECOVERY

4.1 Selection of Sample Households and Composition of Incomes

A baseline survey was conducted in 2004 and follow-up monitoring in 2005. Altogether land acquisition was started in October 2005, but not implemented on a large scale until the spring 2006, without affecting the farming incomes of sample households in 2005, so this report compares with the situation in 2005. This follow-up monitoring covers 41 households and 186 people selected from the 88 sample households, all resettled in the mode of Option A, which is adopted by all the affected villages except in Zhaozhuang, where few groups prefer Option B. The farmland area of these 41 sample households is reduced from the original 217 mu to 184.7 mu, i.e. 34.3 mu less, with a per capita loss of 0.17 mu of 14.9%.

In 2006, these sample households had a per capita net income of 1,505 RMB, including 481 RMB from farming, 995 RMB from sideline and 29 from other sources, taking up 32%, 66.1% and 1.9% respectively. As judged from the structure of incomes, sidelines play the leading role in family incomes, especially farmer workers, who contributed 884 RMB or 88.8% to the income from sidelines.


89

The per capita income in 2006 was 275 RMB more than in 2005, with 357 RMB more from sideline and other sources, but 84 RMB less from farming and animal raising.

Refer to Table 8 for the per capita net income, Chart 1 for income composition, and Attached 1 for breakdown income of sample households with versus without project.

4.2 Income Recovery of Sample Households

As seen from follow-up monitoring results, the family income of sample households is not reduced as a result of farmland reduction, mainly because the major income source of most families is sideline. In 2005, sideline and farming activities contributed 52.8% and 45.5% to the total family incomes, versus 66.1% and 32% in 2006. Farming takes up a small proportion and largely depends on the year’s harvest. After land acquisition, more is generated by sideline activities, mainly farmer workers, with an increase from 567 RMB to 884 RMB, or a per capita increase of 317 RMB, which offsets the loss due to farmland reduction.

The following box contains a typical interview with affected farmers, giving a picture of the impacts on production/livelihood.

Interviewee: 5 people, 5 mu land, including 1.5 mu acquired in June 2005.

Interviewer: Was land adjustment arranged subsequently? If yes, when?

Interviewee: Yes, in September 2005.

Interviewer: How much have you received as land compensation? How many times has it been paid? What are the constituents? How have you used the money?

Interviewee: I received 10,000 RMB at 3 different times, including 2 portions, one paid for young crops and the other for land compensations which were shared equally with all others. I used it cover medical fees and daily expenses.

Interviewer: As farmland is reduced, what have you done to offset your income loss?

Interviewee: Mainly farmer workers, to effectively maintain the income level.

Interviewer: Do you think your family income is greatly affected?

Interviewee: It is affected to a certain extent, but I’m working as a farmer worker now, and family income is ever higher than that before.

Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the existing production/living conditions? What’s your plan for the future?

Interviewee: I’m basically satisfied. I will continue to be a farmer worker, as the major source of family income.

Interviewer: Thank you and wish you a better life, we will be back in the near future.

Farmland reduction does reduce farming incomes. As judged from interviews, however, the affected farmers have built new houses with land compensations, some have bought tricars, tractors and other farming machines and tools, and some have developed animal raising activities. More farming machines represent better production conditions. Also, some farmers invest their compensations in business, and more people go out as farmer workers, to increase their family incomes by various means.

As presented by the leaders of Qianliyuan, their land compensations are shared equally according to the number of people, with land adjusted accordingly. The money, when received, is mostly used to buy farming machines and means of transportation, while a few households do business and 5 develop animal raising activities, including one with additional number of 20 sheep. Additionally, some people increase their family income as farmer workers.

Gao Xinxiang, a resettler and also a land loser, operates an electric motorcar shop with a loan in addition to land compensation. Now, he earns about 20,000 RMB a year. See Photograph 7 for his shop.

4.3 Implication of Income Changes

According to China’s communiqué of national economic and social development, the total number of sample 41 households and 186 people include 49 absolutely poor

people (26%) with a per capita income less than 693 RMB, 2 or 1% less than the number before; 29 low-income people (16%) with 694-958 RMB, 7 or 4% more; and 108 non-poor people (58%) with more than 958 RMB, 5 or 3% less. Refer to Table 9 for detailed figures.

Regarding complaints management, the 45 households interviewed in 9 villages believe that the channels are smooth and complaints are basically responded to. As known in interviews, some farmers complain that the land for excavation has not been restored as agreed, hoping the relevant parties to cause early restoration.


Now vulnerable groups are properly resettled, with 3 major sources of income: income from farmland cropped by their relatives/friends, food and monetary relief provided by the county civil administration on festivals, and old folk’s home operated by township governments.

This M&M includes continued attention to Cao Yincheng, a poor family in Qianliyuan. At the time of the last M&E, he was temporarily resettled in 3 idle rooms at the central primary school. Now, having moved to a new house, he is satisfied with the production and living conditions. See Photographs 8 and 9 for his housing conditions.

6. SETTLEMENT OF EARLIER PROBLEMS

(1) The problem of pending infrastructures in the new sites of Qianliyuan and Doulou has been reflected in the previous report. With an additional amount in place, the local government is arranging implementation in account of the actual conditions in 6 new villages. The infrastructures in Donglou new site have been completed, and compensations paid in full to the rest 5 villages, which are free to use them.

(2) As for the problem of pending reconstruction of Donglou Primary School, a new site has been identified, close to the main street and convenient for pupils to go to school. An obvious progress has been made since the last M&E, with 4.5 mu land acquired, 13 new rooms (310 m2) built and Grades 1-3 moved to new classrooms in November 2007. The school conditions will be thoroughly improved.

7. OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The main existing problem is land restoration. Some land for excavation is not restored, and compensations are neither paid to households as agreed. The farmers complain about this. It is expected that responsible departments draw attention to this, to enable early payment and restoration. The M&E team will continue its attention to this issue.

1. GENERAL

In September 2005, a baseline survey and the first monitoring of Mudan Dike Consolidation Subproject (“Mudan Subproject”) were carried out by Henan Huang Resettlement Economic Development Company (“HHREDC”), with baseline data established for 41 sample households from 7 villages. On this basis, a baseline survey report and 3 M&E reports have been prepared in Chinese and English. This document reports the 4th M&E.


The main works under this subproject comprise warping works with a total length of 9.733 km and width of 100+10 m, wave protection forests with a length of 887 m and width of 30 m, crest roads, and associated structures.

A budget of 27.31 million RMB for land acquisition and resettlement was approved by the State in 2004 (referred to as the “Approved Budget” hereinafter), including 25.06 million RMB for direct resettlement costs and miscellaneous.

Based on the “Special Report on Preliminary Design of Land Acquisition and Resettlement for Mudan Dike Consolidation” (referred to as the “Resettlement Plan” or “RP” for short) approved by the State, a “Special Report of Implementation Scheme for Land Acquisition and Resettlement of Mudan Dike Consolidation (right-bank 217+968~221+110, 224+100~227+ 500, 229+670~232+861, referred to as the “IS”) was completed by the Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. in May 2005 and subsequently approved by Shandong Yellow River Engineering Bureau in letter No. [2005]42, with a total budget of 28.14 million RMB (including 25.89 million RMB as direct resettlement costs).

In November 2005, the Project Office at Shandong Yellow River Engineering Bureau issued a letter under the title of “Approval of Compensations for A kiln in Mudan Dike Subproject (217+968~221+110)” (Ref [2005]21), with an additional amount of 182,700 RMB approved as compensation for the kiln and included in resettlement contingencies.

In December 2006, YRCC certified an additional budget of 8.2552 million RMB under the title “Approval of Resettlement Costs for Shandong ADB-loaned Project” (Ref[2006]133), including 638,900 RMB for young crops (included in direct costs), 7.1559 million RMB for land reclamation, 247,800 RMB for overhead, 202,600 land surveying and 10,000 RMB for land registration. This additional budget was paid out of the resettlement contingencies and the saved construction costs.

Up to date, a total budget of 36.5752 million RMB has been certified, including 26.7089 million RMB as direct resettlement costs. Refer to Table 1-1 for details.

2.1.2 Progress of Disbursement and Payment

Agreements for a sum of 26.7022 million RMB have been completed by and between the Employer and the Implementing Agencies, taking up 106.6% of the Approved Budget and 100% of the IS. This agreed amount is 638,900 RMB larger than that of the last report (26.0633 million RMB), mainly due to additional costs for young crops. The Employer has paid a total amount of 26.6998 million RMB to the Implementing Agencies.

As shown in Table 2-1, the Implementing Agencies have paid a sum of 20.5914 million RMB, including 13.0648 million RMB for permanent land use, 2.8 million RMB for temporary land use, 587,100 RMB for housing, 919,900 RMB for industries, 1.2531 million RMB for special facilities, and 1.9665 million RMB for appurtenances and others.

2.2 Comparison of Compensation Rates

In comparison with the last report, the compensation rates remain unchanged.

The current rate for permanent land use remains 2,000 RMB/mu, but 1,000 RMB/mu, 2,000 RMB/mu and 4,000 RMB/mu is separately added to the rates for nurseries, fishponds and lotus ponds.

As for temporary land use, the land for pumping is compensated according to the actual depth of excavation, 1,005 RMB/mu per meter, while that for occupation is compensated at the rate of 500 RMB/mu per season.

Different rates are used for housings and appurtenances according to their type of structure and duration of service life, with 180~260 RMB/m2 used for brick-concrete structures and 100~240 RMB/m2 for brick-timber ones. Generally, these rates are still lower than as fixed in the RP and IS. Brick and stone fences as part of appurtenances are compensated at 4 different rates, namely, 50 RMB/m, 60 RMB/m, 65 RMB/m and 70 RMB/m. Trees are compensated at the rates published by Mudan District Government, where the rates for initial-resulting, best-resulting and grape trees are lower than those set forth in the RP and IS.

2.3 Balance and Its Use

As of this report, a cumulative amount of 20.5814 million RMB has completed, taking up 77.1% of the total budget. The balance of 22.9% results from: (1) outstanding resettlement costs, (2) current compensation rates lower than approved ones, (3) resurveyed entitlements inconsistent with approved ones, and (4) failure to implement due to actual conditions. While making active efforts for payment, Mudan Project Office has prepared an action plan for the balance of 2.6925 million RMB, which is being submitted to higher levels.

The said action plan is mainly aimed at improving production/living conditions by dredging canals, warping low-lying lands, constructing village platforms and performing other public services. By the time of this M&E, these activities have been nearly completed by Mudan Project Office, which has enabled the farmers to cultivate a part of low-lying lands again. For example, 425 mu waterlogged land was warped in Liuzhuang during this M&E, which has restored the land that had been out of cultivation for years and satisfied the farmers.

Permanent land acquisition is increased by 1.08 mu in comparison with the progress achieved by the time of the last M&E, mainly due to the fact that the disputed area at the boundary of Chahetou was excluded from the last report. According to the IS, the subproject requires a total land area of 1,274.26 mu for permanent use. A total area of 1,228.99 mu (including 1,094.64 mu farmland) has been acquired from 12 villages in 3 townships as of this report, accounting for 96.4% of the IS. The additional area of 1.08 mu is owned by the village collective. Based on field surveys, the land loss per capita by villages is 0.07 mu, or 3.59%. Liuzhuang is the only village that has a loss rate over 10%, with a per capita loss of 0.25 mu, i.e. 22.44%. Details are provided in Table 3-1 below.

Economic rehabilitation: The farmland in the project area is generally farmed and managed by groups, so adjustment and distribution by groups are carried out after land increase/ decrease, with a part reserved for public use in a few villages. As found in investigations, different modes of economic rehabilitation are selected by the groups in account of the actual circumstances. Among the 43 groups involved, with a total number of 1,985 households and 8,339 people, 39 with 1,867 households and 7,807 people have chosen Option A, while 4 with 118 households and 532 people choose Option B, taking up 93.6% and 6.4% of the affected population Either mode, the result of repeated deliberations and discussions, is preferred and backed by the majority.

Where Option A is chosen, the impacts are shared equally by all, which mitigates short-term


107

impacts on land losers and allows more room for economic rehabilitation.

Where Option B is used, the compensations are directly paid to the households having lost their land, which enables them to have more money in hand and facilitates their development and adjustment of economic activities. In Chahetou with better economic conditions, all the 3 affected groups have adopted Option B. In 2006, for instance, the land losers adjusted their structure of cropping, increased the cropping area of water melon and other cash crops, and more people went out for business activities and farmer workers.

The acquired land in Zhulou and Wulou is less, all collective land, without impacts on the households. In Wangshengtun, the farmland of Group 1 is partly acquired, but land is given to the households directly by taking a part out of the reserved collective land. Some villages and groups have taken other measures.

3.2 Temporary Land Use and Restoration

According to the IS, the subproject necessitates the occupation of 2,206.46 mu for temporary use, including 1,845.11 mu for excavation and 361.35 mu treading, all irrigated field. The completed total area is 1,159.39 mu, 52.5% of the IS, involving 3 townships and 14 villages.

Temporary land occupation involves 2 forms of use: excavation and treading. The former is for edging and covering of warping works and the latter for pipes and construction roads.

(1) A total area of 569.89 mu is completed for pumping, taking up 30.9% of the IS. There are 2 types of borrow areas: fresh floodland, which is close to the river course and restored naturally when flooded, involving Houyoulou, Jiazhuang, Zhulou and Xigaozhai; and waste sand, which is on the landside and rather far from the dike, mostly collective idle non-farmland preferred to be used as borrow areas for pumping, involving only one natural village--Qianyoulou.

(2) The land for treading purposes is totally farmland, with a total area of 589.5 occupied by the time of this report, taking up 163% of the IS. Refer to Table 3-2 for details.

Land restoration: It is necessary to restore 1,125.99 mu farmland in total, including 536.49 mu for pumping and 589.5 mu for treading as shown in Table 3-3.

The land for treading is generally used for 2-4 seasons. With main works completed, pipes and camps removed, land restoration is already finished.

The land for pumping is located on the waterside except in Qianyoulou, where such land is on the landside. Since the last M&E, land restoration has achieved to a varying extent. The land in Qianyoulou is waste sand, not needing restoration. However, restoration by warping is arranged by the village. Now, this work is coming to the end (see Photograph 3). In Zhulou, Jiazhuang and Xigaozhai, land restoration is in progress (see Photograph 4).

4. RESTORATION OF HOUSIGN CONDITIONS

4.1 Physical Relocation

According to the IS, permanent land use necessitates the resettlement of 69 homes and 255 people in 6 villages and the relocation of 3,521.85 m2 housings. By the time of this report, the resurveyed housing area to be relocated is 3,756.49 m2, involving 33 households and 128 people in 6 villages, with an increase of 279.09 m2 (mostly temporary ones) as compared with the figure reflected in the last report.

Now 33 of the 33 households have been moved, with a total housing area of 33370.52 m2, i.e. 95.7% of the IS. The rest 3 households remain in the area for the use of service roads, not affecting the performance of construction. Refer to Table 4-1 for details.

4.2 Resettlement

Homestead identification: The total number of 33 households includes 8 whose properties are affected, not needing homesteads, and 25 having received homesteads, with an average


109

surface area of 258 m2. Refer to Tables 4-2 and 4-3.

Housing: Among the 25 households having received homesteads, 13 have built new houses, 4 are building, and 8 are ready to act. The reasons for delayed housing include: (1) some house foundations are in water due to poor drainage, which frustrates house construction; and (2) some families live with their relatives, not needing new houses at this moment.

There are 4 more households having completed new houses and 3 less ready to act in comparison with the progress reflected in the last report. Refer to Table2 4-2 and 4-3.

Resettlement: Of the 30 households having been relocated, 13 live in new, 5 in borrowed and12 in other houses. Refer to Table 4-3.

4.3 Development of Residential Sites

Infrastructures: Homesteads are identified by villages/groups for the 25 households to be resettled in 6 villages, and 13 households have moved to their new houses. Water supply is up to the resettlement families themselves. Now, each of those having completed new houses has a pressure well, which solves the problem of drinking water supply. Power lines are installed by users themselves. Refer to Table 4-4 for the progress of infrastructures at new sites.

In the IS, land acquisition involves a total number of 11 power lines with 87 poles (10 kv), 3 communication lines with 101 poles, 3 transformers, and 9 bridges with 1,174.7 m2.

Since the last report, Heze Yellow River Industrial Co., Ltd. has completed 4 bridges and 2 roads, which greatly conveniences the affected villages (see Photographs 5 and 6). Table 5-1 details the progress of special facilities.

In addition, it is necessary to relocate 2 industrial enterprises, namely Chahetou Brick Factory and a business operated by Heze Yellow River Industrial Engineering Co., Ltd. The former is reconstructed, with production resumed, while the latter is compensated directly, with a new site selected for reconstructed by the enterprise.

6. INCOME RECOVERY

6.1 Selection and Follow-up Monitoring of Sample Households

As found in our follow-up monitoring of 19 households and 81 people in 2 of the 7 villages and 41 sample households for which baseline data have been established, Option A is chosen by 11 households and 42 people in Liuzhuang, whilst Option B is adopted by 8 households and 39 people in Chahetou.

According to the follow-up monitoring of the 19 sample households, they earned a per capita net income of 2,785 RMB in 2006, including 46%, 50% and 4% from agriculture, sideline and other sources respectively as shown in Tables 6-1 and 6-2.

Through further analysis, the overall per capita net income of Chahetou and Liuzhuang has already exceeded that of the base year. In Chahetou where Option B is chosen, the income is 1,552 RMB more than that of the base year, including 777 RMB from farming and 893 RMB from sideline activities. In Liuzhuang where Option A is adopted, the income is 1,340 RMB more, including 434 RMB and 799 RMB from farming and sideline activities respectively.

6.2 Recovery of Incomes

6.2.1 Recovery of Farming Incomes

The 19 sample households covered by this follow-up monitoring have a net farming income of 1,288 RMB per capita. Excluding the factor of escalation, the income in 2006 was 612 RMB more than that in the base year (2004), i.e. an increase of 91%. Table 6-3 indicates the fact that the farming incomes of affected people are recovered and even greatly increased after land acquisition. This is mainly attributable to the following reasons: (1) farmers begin to lay stress on the adjustment of cropping structures, with the cropping area of cash crops enlarged according to market demands and the structure of cropping activities adjusted on the basis of the market prices of produce, to gain more incomes; (in Chahetou and Liuzhuang, for instance, the enlarged cropping area of water melon in 2006 was an important cause of the considerably higher farming incomes); and (2) preferential policies provided by the State in the recent couple of years, especially the cancellation of agricultural taxes and the subsequent implementation of allowances for grain production, allow farmers to put more investment and enthusiasm in farming, with more stress placed on farming activities to cope with the changes subsequent to land loss.

In 2006 the sample households had a per capita income up to 1,497 RMB from other sources than farming, 125.8% more than the figure of 834 RMB in the base year (2004), including 1,399 RMB from sidelines, mostly farmer workers who contributed 82.2% of the incomes from sideline and other sources. The ever-increasing income of farmer workers turns out to be the major source of incomes other than farming. Details are provided in Table 6-4.

6.2.3 Analysis of Income Recovery

Based on the quantitative analysis of income recovery, a survey was conducted as part of this M&E by interviewing with the sample households, to have a full picture of the income recovery subsequent to land loss. This can be described in the following aspects:

Impacts by farmland reduction: As indicated in Table 6-4, out of the total number of 19 households, 2 have less income from farming but more from other sources, without any impact on the total income, 12 are subject to minor impacts due to less land loss or poor land quality, and 5 are affected considerably, taking up 11%, 63% and 26% respectively.

Use of land compensations: As found in field surveys, 32% of the sample households use land compensations for direct income recovery, including 26% investing in farming and 6% going in for business, while the rest 68% use such for indirect income recovery measures including 42% paying medical fees and children’s tuitions among other daily living expenses, 21% choosing to build houses, and 5% repaying old debits. Refer to Table 6-5 for details.

Remedy measures: Out of the 19 sample households, 9 (47%) have recovered their incomes by farmer workers and business. Refer to Table 6-5.

According to China’s communiqué of national economic and social development in 2006, the absolute poverty line for rural areas was adjusted from 683 RMB in the previous year to 693 RMB, while the low-income level was changed from 944 to 958 RMB. Accordingly, rural residents with a per capita income less than 693 were classified as absolutely poor, those with 694-958 as low-income and those with more than 958 as non-poor people.

Among the 81 samples surveyed in 2006, 92.6% were above the line of non-poor people, 32.6% higher than the percentage in the base year, while the percentage of low-income and absolutely poor people was decreased by 2.5% and 4.9% accordingly. Refer to Table 6-6.

7.1 Training

As found in the investigation of training for production skills, agreements have been signed to this effect between the Employer and Licun Township Government, which is responsible for training the affected people in production skills. In August 2007, agricultural experts were invited to a workshop for some affected villages. According to our survey results, 7 of the 19 sample households participated in this workshop, taking up 36.8%. They were quite satisfied

As known from investigations, channels are smooth and complaints are basically responded to. Most complaints arise out of the negative impacts on crops in the vicinity of dikes due to seepage and drainage in rainy days. It is expected that the relevant parties draw attention to the early prevention and management of this.


As investigated, vulnerable groups include 33 households with 51 people, taking up 0.6% of the affected total population. These people are properly resettled. As found in our interviews, Zhang Guanli and his wife, an old couple in Lankou, were provided preference in policies by Mudan Project Office in the course of resettlement. Now, they are satisfied with the living circumstances and housing conditions.


8.1 Evaluation

Permanent land acquisition is already finished, and resettlement is approaching to the end. Having chosen cash payment or land adjustment as the mode of economic rehabilitation, the affected farmers are taking active actions to adapt to and recover their production/livelihood by various means, including adjusting the structure of crops and increasing the work time of farmer workers.

As for temporary land use, the land for treading is restored as the main works are completed, whilst the land for pumping, as being mostly on the waterside, can be warped by diverting the


117

Yellow River. At present, restoration of the remaining land is doing on, which will be focused in the next M&E. Generally, thanks to proper compensations, there is no major impact on the production of affected farmers.

The Implementing Agencies have built bridges and access roads, which greatly conveniences the production/livelihood of the local residents.

Land compensations in the later period of construction, mainly for temporary land use, are paid to the affected villages and households in time, without causing any major impacts on their production and livelihood.

Since the implementation, the affected farmers have taken various measures to recover their incomes, such as farmer workers and adjustment of cropping structures. These measures have enabled quick income recovery of the affected people.


8.2.1 Settlement of Earlier Problems

(1) Poor drainage during the performance of pumping works

Drainage is greatly reduced upon completion of the main works. Recently, Mudan Project Office has excavated canals in affected villages by using the balance of land compensations, which has solved the problem of drainage.

(2) Lower percentage of payment

At present, the percentage of payment is increased to a certain extent. In comparison with the progress made by the time of the last M&E, the payment is increased by 2.8975 million RMB, with a cumulative amount of 20.5914 million RMB, taking up 82.2% of the approved direct resettlement costs and 77.1% of the total direct resettlement costs.

8.2.2 Outstanding Problems

The Implementing Agency has not implemented the compensations for young crops approved by YRCC in Ref [2006]133. It is recommended that payment be made as early as possible.

ANNEX 8-1 INTERVIEW REGARDING INCOME RECOVERY

Time: September 15, 2007 Place: Group 1, Chahetou Village, Licun Township Interviewee: Li Hemin Position: None Sex: Male Age: 43 Education: High school

Interviewer: Hello, man, how many people are there in your family? How much land do you have? How much is used for the project? When?

Interviewee: There are 4 people and 9.6 mu land, on both sides of the dike. In April 2005, the land of our village was partly acquired for dike widening, including 0.8 mu of mine.


Interviewee: No. Our group specially met to discuss how to distribute land compensations. The majority requested to pay to land losers and cash payment was choose by the group, without land adjustment. Following this, the land to be acquired was surveyed by the village and group jointly with households.


Interviewee: I received 8,400 RMB at two different times in May and June 2005 separately, and used it for building a new house.

Interviewer: As the farmland is reduced, what have you done to offset your income loss?

Interviewee: The output of crops is less due to farmland reduction, so we have to go out as farmer workers to offset the income loss. Now the children are grown up, they can go out to make money. I myself also go out to work in the slack season. Nowadays, farming alone is less profitable, so farmer workers are the major means of helping out the family expenses.

Interviewer: Do you think your family income is greatly affected by farmland reduction?

Interviewee: Since the land is of inferior quality, my family income is not affected greatly. Yet many trees have been inundated due to serious seepage through the widened dike and subsequent poor drainage.


Interviewee: Yes, I’m satisfied. Now the access road is paved with cement, which conveniences our farming and harvesting. I’m thinking about making some money from animal raising activities.

Interviewer: Thank you and wish you a better life.

1. INTRODUCTION

This subproject was formally implemented in September 2005. As the farming income of the resettlement families was not affected by land acquisition that year, the M&E team conducted a baseline census and the 1st M&E in June 2006, established baseline data for 4 sample villages and 28 sample households, and prepared a baseline census report and M&E report 1. Up to now, 3 M&E reports have been prepared in both Chinese and English, including this report which documents the 3rd M&E.


Juancheng Yellow River Dike in Shandong is on the right bank. The dike section 257+200~ 259+500 under the ADB-loaned Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project is designed to be consolidated by landside warping. The “Preliminary Design of Land Acquisition and Resettlement of Juancheng Dike Consolidation Subproject” (257+200~259+500) (referred to as “Resettlement Plan” or “RP” hereinafter) was prepared by the Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co. Ltd. in September 2003 and formally approved by the National Development & Reform Commission in October 2004, with a certified resettlement budget of 11.4 million RMB (referred to as the “Approved Budget” hereinafter), including 10.47 million RMB as direct costs. Subsequently an “Implementation Scheme of Land Acquisition and Resettlement under Juancheng Dike Consolidation Subproject” (referred to as the “Implementation Scheme” or “IS” hereinafter) was completed by the Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co. Ltd. as required by the ADB in May 2005, and reviewed and approved by Shandong Yellow River Engineering Bureau via letter [2005]42 on July 1st 2005, with a resettlement budget of 11.75 million RMB (350,000 RMB more than the Approved Budget, totally direct costs), including 10.82 million RMB direct costs. On December 13, 2006, an additional amount of 2.7901 million RMB was approved by the Yellow River Conservancy Commission in letter No.[2006]133 “Approval of Additional Land Compensation Costs for Shandong ADB-loaned Project”, including 213,700 RMB for direct costs (for young crops) and 2.5764 million RMB for land restoration and miscellaneous costs. In furtherance, a variation was approved in letter No. [2007]67 during implementation, with an additional amount of 933,100 RMB direct costs. Therefore, the total resettlement budget is 15.4732 million RMB, including 11.9668 million direct costs. Refer to Table 1 for details.

The resettlement organization framework includes: Heze Yellow River Engineering Bureau as the Employer, Yellow River Engineering Co., Ltd. as the Designer, Juancheng County Government as the Implementing Agency, and Henan Huanghe Resettlement Economic Development Company as the External Monitor.

As required, Heze Yellow River Engineering Bureau has established a Project Office to perform the responsibilities and obligations on behalf of the Employer. Juancheng County Government has set up a Leading Group, which includes a Resettlement Office in charge of land compensation, resettlement, infrastructure, and field coordination.

The quantities of work completed by the time of this M&E include: acquisition of 395.76 mu for permanent use (100.9% of the IS), involving 1 township and 4 villages; relocation of 93 households and 9,448.77 m2 housings (12 households and 197.96 m2 more than the figures of the last report, 78.8% of the IS); clearing 6,000 sparse trees (2,000 more, 67.9%), 176 tombs (56 more, 95.7%) and 4 motor wells (1 more, 100%); and acquisition of 350.49 mu for temporary use (including 58.62 mu for occupation and 291.87 mu for excavation, 44.2%). Now construction is totally completed.

Note: The figures in “RP” and “IS” columns are from the “Resettlement Plan” and “Implementation Scheme” prepared by the Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. in September 2003 and May 2005 respectively, while those in “3rd M&E” are from field surveys during the 3rd M&E period.



The study area of this M&S mainly covers the Employer, Implementing Agency, and relevant townships, villages and households, with focus placed on: disbursement, payment, townships, villages, groups and households involved in permanent/temporary land use, including the percentage of lost land, economic rehabilitation measures, temporary land occupation and restoration, housing restoration, residential site development, and income recovery, etc.

1.3.2 Methodology

Get familiar with the state, local and ADB’s resettlement laws/regulations and policies, the Resettlement Plan, the previous reports, and the TOR for this report; discuss with the local Yellow River Engineering Bureaus at all levels and the Implementing Agency, for them to have an understanding of the purpose, scope of work, and methodology of monitoring, and also the information and assistance expected of them; discuss with village/group leaders and villagers, explain the significance of M&E, complete forms, and collect information as necessary; feedback findings, and discuss relevant matters; process and analyze the findings from field work, and, on this basis, finally complete the M&E report.

1.3.3 Schedule

The schedule of M&E is as follows: conduct field work in September 2007 and complete report preparation and data interpretation by in October 2007, with the final draft submitted.


2.1 Process of Disbursement and Payment

Resettlement costs for the subproject are paid out of the state financial revenues directly.

The process of application for resettlement costs is as follows:

Resettlement Office →Heze Yellow River Engineering Bureau (Employer)→ Shandong Yellow River Engineering Bureau →Yellow River Conservancy Commission → Ministry of Water Resources →Ministry of Finance

Resettlement costs are disbursed in the following process:

Ministry of Finance (special account of state treasury) →Heze Yellow River Engineering Bureau (small account) → Resettlement Office, including


124

(1) Permanent land use: Resettlement Office→ Land Bureau → village→ group→ household

(2) Temporary land use: Resettlement Office→ village→household (3) Housing and attachment: Resettlement Office→village (household)→ household

2.2 Progress of Disbursement

As of this report, the Resettlement Office has disbursed a total amount of 607.39 million RMB, accounting for 58% of the Approved Budget, 50.8% of the IS and 51.7% of the agreed amount, 762,500 RMB more than the sum reflected in the last report. In specific, this amount includes: 2.8498 million RMB settled for permanent land use, 531,500 RMB paid for temporary land use, 1.2005 million RMB settled for housing, 39,300 RMB paid for replacing special facilities, and 1.4528 million RMB paid for clearing sparse trees, tombs and other appurtenances, taking up 76.2%, 31.6%, 47.3%, 10.8% and 42.4% of the agreed amounts respectively. Table 3 shows a summary of resettlement costs.

There remains a balance of 5.6734 million RMB. As an action plan in under preparation, the next M&E will consider this as a key point.

The low percentage of payment is mainly related to low compensation rates. The cumulative amounts are included herein as completed actually.

2.3 Compensation Rates and Payment

Juancheng dike consolidation comprises 11 components and 13 lots, involving 20 villages in 5 townships, with large quantities of resettlement work. However, only 1 lot is included in the Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project, involving 4 villages in a single township. Considering the fact that the compensation rates previously applied to local-fund components are lower than those approved for the ADB-loaned subproject, the Resettlement Office has published the “Compensation Scheme”, which is current now.

Although some items and metric units do not correspond to each other, but the rates provided in the “Compensation Scheme” are obviously lower.


125

In practice, the rate of 7,200 RMB/mu is applied to permanent land acquisition, plus 600 RMB/mu for young crops for a year (360 RMB/mu for summer and 240 RMB/mu for autumn crops), and 2,300 RMB to permanent land use (including restoration). Other rates are used as fixed in the “Compensation Scheme”. Refer to Table 4 below.

Now compensations for houses and appurtenances are paid, as advance payment, against the verified quantities and the rates shown in the “Compensation Scheme”.

3. LAND OCCUPATION AND ECONOMIC REHABILITATION

3.1 Permanent Land Acquisition

As understood in field investigations, permanent land acquisition is finished, with 395.76 mu acquired (including 293.75 mu farmland), the same as reported last time, taking up 100.9% of the IS and involving 13 groups in 4 villages.

These 13 groups have lost 15.5% of their farmland on the average, or 0.2 mu per capita.

(1) Farmland reduction over 10%: involving 3 villages, 8 groups, 224 households and 932 people, i.e. 63% of the affected people, with a per capita loss of 0.27 mu or an average loss rate 25%;

(2) Farmland reduction of 5~10%: involving 1 village, 3 groups, 55 households and 240 people, taking up 16% of the affected people, with a per capita loss of 0.14 mu or an average loss rate of 7.5%;

(3) Farmland reduction below 5%: involving 1 village, 2 groups, 73 households and 304 people, taking up 21% of the affected people, with a per capita loss of 0.03 mu or an average loss rate of 2.4%. Refer to Tables 5 and 6 for details.

Economic rehabilitation for permanent land acquisition: The increased/decreased farmland is readjusted and redistributed by groups after land acquisition.

The mode of money-based economic rehabilitation is used for the project area. After having received land compensations, the affected villages or groups determine how to use the money in the light of their actual conditions and on the basis of adequate public consultation. To sum up, there are 2 different scenarios as follows:

(1) Land contracted to individuals: There are 2 modes of economic rehabilitation: share the money with all in the same group, with land adjustment, and pay to households directly, without land adjustment (referred to as “Option A” and “Operation B”). Among the 13 affected groups with 352 households and 1,476 people, only 65 people in 1 groups select Option B, accounting for 4.4%, while the rest 1,411 people adopt Option A, i.e. 95.6%. To put in another way, 600 RMB (young crop compensation for 1 year) of the land compensations (7,800 RMB/mu) received is paid to the households directly, with the remaining 7,200 RMB shared by all and land adjusted by the group.

(2) Land reserved for public use: A total area of 102.01 mu in this type is acquired for permanent use, including forestland, pond and non-productive land, and compensations are paid in full. Through public consultation, the compensations for non-productive land are to be retained by the village/group for common use, mainly for the construction of new residential sites, and those for forestlands and ponds are paid to households directly and equally according to the number of people, and used for economic activities.

Land loss implies more time for the affected people to work outside as farmer workers and go in for transportation, small business and other sideline activities, which partly offsets their loss of income.

3.2 Temporary Land Occupation

According to the IS, temporary land uses include borrow areas, access roads, temporary dwellings, warehouses and pipes, 793.47 mu in total, all irrigated fields, including 586.98 mu for excavation and 206.49 mu for treading. Now 350.492 mu is occupied. The land for pipe installation is 58.62 mu, involving 8 villages, and that for excavation is 291.872 mu, involving 3 villages.

Land restoration: Pipes are generally arranged in line with roads or fields, with less use of farmland. Further to this, such land can be cultivated as soon as warping works are completed, so major impacts on farming will not be caused. Excavation involves 69.356 mu in Wangqiao, 98.766 mu in Dalizhuang and 123.75 mu in Laozhaizhuang of Jiucheng Township, with an average excavation depth about 1 m.

By the time of this M&E, the land for pipe installation has been totally restored. This is also the case of 291.872 mu for excavation purposes. Refer to Table 7 and Photographs 1 and 2.

4. RESTORATION OF HOUSING CONDITIONS

4.1 Physical Relocation and Resettlement

According to the IS, it is necessary to resettle 108 households and 452 people from 4 villages, and relocate 11,989.9 m2 housings. As verified by the end of this report, it needs to resettle 101 households.

Physical relocation: By the time of this report, 93 households have been relocated, with a floor area of 9,448.775 m2, 12 households more than reported last time, accounting for 92% of the total number. The rest 8 have not been moved because their land for the use of service roads does not affect the performance of construction at this moment. These 91 families having received homesteads have started housing except for one, with 64 houses built (9 more than reported last time) and 26 being built. Refer to Tables 8 and 9.

Identification of homesteads: The 101 households include 91 in the need of homesteads. As shown in Tables 9 and 10, this part of work is finished. The total number of 93 relocated families includes 64 having moved to new houses, 9 more than reported last time, 26 dwelled by relatives or governments, and 3 having other dwellings. Refer to Tables 8 and 10.

The special facilities affected by the subproject include 5 roads with a length of 920 m (all earth roads), 1 telecommunication line with a length of 2,450 m, a canal with a length of 150 m, and an access bridge in Dongzhuang.

These have been completed except for the access bridge under construction in Dongzhuang.

6. INCOME RECOVERY

6.1 Follow-up Monitoring of Sample Households

According to the impacts by the subproject, all the 28 sample households in 3 sample villages are covered by the follow-up monitoring. As indicated by the findings, there was a per capita net income of 2,359 RMB in 2006, 252 RMB more than that in the previous year. Wanglou had the highest, 2,858 RMB per capita, while the other 2 villages had 2,299 and 1,830 RMB respectively. Follow-up monitoring results are provided in Tables 12 through 14.

Regarding the constituents, family incomes include 72% from sideline, the largest contributor, 25.6% from farming, the second contributor, and 2.4% from animal raising and other sources.

With regard to the change of incomes, there is an increase except in Wangqiao where there is a decrease (due to flooding in 2006). Particularly, the per capita income is increased by 766 RMB in Wangqiao.

6.2 Recovery of Incomes

6.2.1 Farming Incomes

The sample households covered by this follow-up monitoring had a net farming income of 1,605 RMB per capita and 564 RMB per mu in 2006. Farmland reduction caused a decrease of 187 RMB in comparison with the income in the previous year 2005, or a loss rate of 23.6%. The highest loss was found in Wangqiao, 234 RMB, or 36.8%. Refer to Table 15 for detailed information.

As understood in further investigations, the decrease of farming incomes in 2006 was mainly attributable to excessive rainfall and subsequent drop in production.

6.2.2 Sideline and Other Incomes

In 2006 the sample households earned 440 RMB more from other activities than farming, including 472 RMB more from sidelines (an increase of 38%, mainly farmer workers, 33%) and 35 RMB less from other sources. There was an increase in Dalizhuang (1,031 RMB) and Wanglou, but a decrease in Wangqiao. This indicates less time for farming and more time for farmer workers, and subsequently more incomes from sideline and other sources. Refer to Table 16 for details.

In order to have a better understanding of the mitigating/offsetting measures, interviews with households have been conducted as part of this M&E. Refer to Table 17 for details.

Impacts by farmland reduction: Out of the total number of 28 households, 15 (54%) say their land loss is limited, with minor impacts on their incomes, if any; 6 (21%) feel the loss of poor quality land does not cause any major impacts on their family incomes; 5 (18%) believe their family incomes are affected considerably; and 2 earn less from farming but more from other sources, without impacts on their total incomes.

Use of land compensations: As found in field surveys, 9 of the sample households use land compensations for farming, 14 for medical fees and children’s tuitions among other daily expenses, 2 for business, and 3 for housing, taking up 32%, 50%, 7% and 11% respectively.

Remedy measures: Out of the 15 sample households, 9 have recovered their incomes by farmer workers and 10 by extensive farming and intercropping, constituting 54% and 36%.

To sum up, 18% households believe that their family incomes are affected considerably, but only 3% have not yet taken remedy measures to recovery incomes, whilst 97% have taken various measures, such as farmer worker, business, intensive farming and intercropping, to minimize the negative impacts by farmland reduction.

According to China’s communiqué of national economic and social development in 2006, rural residents with a per capita income less than 693, 694-958 and more than 958 RMB were classified as absolutely poor people, low-income and non-poor people respectively.

In comparison with the situation in the base year, the number of absolutely poor and low- income people was decreased by 1 and 10 respectively, 0.7% and 7.9%, whilst that of non- poor people was increased by 7, or 8.6%. This suggests improvement of poverty regardless farmland reduction. Refer to Table 18 for details.

6.4 Evaluation

As understood in interviews with sample households, farmland reduction implies more time for farmer workers, without any major impacts on family incomes except in Wanglou, where the incomes are reduced due to the inundation of farmland (mostly in floodplains) this year.

7.1 Training

The M&E team has discussed with local responsible departments regarding training activities in production skills, including training programs and demands. It is known that the Employer has concluded a training program with Jiucheng Township. As found in interviews with 28 sample households, however, such program is not yet implemented. Also, it is understood that 96% of them wish to be trained, including 53% in farming, 29% in animal raising and 14% in sideline and other activities. Refer to Table 19.

As understood in interviews with the township governments, village committees and farmers, the affected people generally concern and complain about poor drainage during construction, hoping for early and thorough dredging.

As understood in discussions with responsible departments, the problem of poor drainage will be solved no sooner than the completion of construction.


This monitoring continues special attention to the vulnerable groups affected in the project area. As found in the investigation, 12 households and 15 people are affected, taking up for 1% of the total number of affected people, including 3 and 4 elderly persons of no family involved in physical relocation, accounting for % of the total resettlement population. Now these people live on 3 major sources: income from farmland cultivating by relatives/friends, food and monetary relief provided by the county civil administration on festivals, and old folk’s home operated by the township government. For example, Zhang Baoqi, an elderly person of no family and also a resettlement household in Wanglou, is provided with a new house with some 2,000 RMB from the county civil administration; Dong Chunqiang and Dong Zhanyun in Dongzhuang are provided with 8 RMB allowance each month and 25 kg flour on festivals by the county civil administration. With the help of the local governments, these vulnerable groups are properly resettled.

8.1 Evaluation

The mode of money-based economic rehabilitation is used for permanent land acquisition. Through wide public consultation, the mode of cash payment or land adjustment is adopted. Permanent land acquisition involves 4 villages, 13 groups, 352 households and 1,476 people. Among these groups, only 1 adopts Option B, taking up 4% of the number of households and people, while the rest 12 choose Option A, i.e. 96%, which maximizes the impacts on production by land reduction.

As construction is finished, the land for the use of pipes has been totally restored by the time of this M&E. This is also the case of 291.87 mu for excavation purposes. Compensations for temporary land use have been paid in full as agreed.

In respect of income recovery, the per capita net income is 252 RMB more than that in the base year, without any major impacts on farming incomes as a result of farmland reduction. But Wangqiao is another story, where there is a decrease due to the inundation of farmland (mostly in floodplains).

Regarding the rehabilitation of housing conditions, all the resettlement families are properly resettled, new residential sites are developed now, and living circumstances are improved.

Compensation rates are published in the form of government notices, to be open and transparent, and payments are basically made in time according to the published rates.

Also, the local government authorities have provided proper measures for vulnerable groups.


Poor drainage during the performance of pumping works results in farmland and house inundation somewhere. Fortunately, the Implementing Agency has promised to cause the earliest treatment of this issue.

Having communicated and discussed with the responsible parties, the Implementing Agency has proposed a program for the application of outstanding amounts and promised to use them for economic/livelihood rehabilitation. This will be reviewed as a priority of the next M&E.

1. OVERVIEW

This is the 5th M&E of Dongpinghu Rehabilitation Subproject. Dongpinghu rehabilitation programs were approved at 2 different times, with Dongpinghu 55+000~77+300 (referred to as “Dongpinghu 55 hereinafter) approved at the 1st time (Group 1 subprojects under the ADB-loaned Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project), Dongpinghu 77+300~88+ 400 and Dongpinghu 10+471~55+000 (referred to as “Dongpinghu 77” and “Dongpinghu 10” respectively) at the 2nd time (Group 4). Dongpinghu 55, a core subproject, has been completed, with a completion report prepared as part of the last M&E report. Thus, this Report No. 5 discusses Dongpinghu 77 and Dongpinghu 10 only.


(1) Dongpinghu 77

Dongpinghu 77 is located in Dongping County, Shandong Province, with a total length of 11.1 km. Main works are for dike raising/widening and cutoff wall, together with 10 m wide land acquired for protection works at station No. 77+300~88+400. The total budget approved by the State is 75.49 million RMB, including 9.35 million RMB for land acquisition (8.58 million RMB direct costs).

An “Implementation Scheme” (referred to as the “Scheme” hereinafter) was prepared by the Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. in May 2006 and subsequently approved by Shandong Yellow River Engineering Bureau in July 2006, as authorized by YRCC, via letter No. (2006)23, with an additional budget of 480,000 RMB approved as direct costs. In 2006, another amount of 1.2519 million RMB was approved by YRCC in letter No. [2006]133, including 93,400 RMB for young crops and 1.1585 million RMB for land restoration and other purposes. The total resettlement budget is 11.0819 million RMB, including 9.1534 million RMB direct costs.

Construction was commenced in April 2006 and nearly finished in November 2007.

(2) Dongpinghu 10

Dongpinghu 10 is located in Liangshan County, with a total length of 44.529 km. Main works are totally for cutoff walls. The approved resettlement budget is 88.67 million RMB, including 2.16 million RMB for land acquisition (1.99 RMB direct resettlement costs).

An “Implementation Scheme” was prepared by Shandong Yellow River Design Institute in May and approved by Shandong Yellow River Engineering Bureau in July 2006, with an additional amount of 80,000 RMB approved as direct resettlement costs. The total resettlement budget is 2.24 million RMB, including 2.07 million RMB direct costs.

Construction was commenced in August 2006 and basically completed by April 2007.

Table 1 below is a summary of the approved, additional and total resettlement budgets for Dongpinghu 77 and Dongpinghu 10.

Dongping Lake Management Bureau acts as the Employer, which has set up a Project Office to be in charge of resettlement and field management. Liangshan and Dongping Counties function as the Implementing Agency, with a separate Project Office established to be responsible for the implementation of land acquisition and resettlement. The Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. is employed as the Designer and Henan Huanghe Resettlement Economic Development Company as the External Monitor.

Dongpinghu 77: Land acquisition and physical relocation were commenced in April 2006, with 133.98 mu (including 99.7 mu farmland and 34.28 mu non-productive land) agreed and acquired for permanent use by the time of the last M&E, taking up 88% of the figure of 151.61 mu shown in the resettlement plan (referred to as the “RP”). Permanent land acquisition meets the demand of construction, not needing any further land acquisition. The completed area for temporary use is 1,049.015 mu, including 751.855 mu for excavation and 297.16 mu for occupation, taking up 69% of 1,523.48 mu included in the Scheme. Altogether 89 households have been relocated, and those in the need of housing have moved to new houses. By the time of this M&E, construction was nearly finished, permanent land acquisition completed, land for temporary use restored by 97%, and special facilities replaced.

Dongpinghu 10: Construction was started in August 2006. Permanent land acquisition use and physical relocation are not necessary for this subproject. The clearing of attachments mainly involves shade trees at the crest and on the waterside. The completed land area for temporary use is 225.18 mu, totally for the purpose of camps and stockpile areas, taking up 100.6% of the figure of 223.29 mu proposed in the Scheme. Special facilities include power lines, optical cables and roads.

The progress of land acquisition is shown in Table 2.

1.3 Monitoring & Evaluation

This 5th M&E is an extension of the previous M&E of Dongpinghu Rehabilitation Subproject (including Dongpinghu 55).

Study area and focus: The study area covers the Employer, Implementing Agency, affected townships, villages and farmers, focusing on: (1) operation of resettlement organizations, (2) disbursement, rate, payment of compensations, (3) townships, villages, groups and farmers affected by permanent land use, together with land loss, economic rehabilitation and income recovery, (4) temporary land occupation and restoration, (5) restoration of housing conditions, and (6) development of residential sites.

Methodology: An TOR was prepared in August and field work performed in early September 2007. Information on the progress of land acquisition, payment and economic rehabilitation is collected by discussing discussion with Dongpinghu Lake Bureau and Dongping/Liangshan Project Office and interviewing with the affected townships, villages, groups and farmers. Sample households are interviewed in the respect of impacts by land acquisition, progress of physical relocation, and protection of their rights and interests. This report is prepared on the basis of data processing and statistical work.


2.1 Process of Disbursement

The process of disbursement for both subprojects is arranged as follows:

Permanent land acquisition: Dongpinghu Lake Bureau →County Project Office→township→ village

Temporary land occupation: Dongpinghu Lake Bureau→County Project Office→village or household

Housing and attachments: Dongpinghu Lake Bureau→County Project Office→village or household

Special facilities: Dongpinghu Lake Bureau→County Project Office→contractor


Compensations Dongpinghu 77 are paid at the rates fixed in the Scheme except for temporary land use, without price adjustment in the course of implementation.

Adjusted rates for the temporary land use of Dongpinghu 77:

In the Scheme, the land for the use of excavation is compensated per season on the basis of the output value of 1 year and 1.5 years, i.e. 1,146 RMB/mu and 1,719 RMB/mu, while that for the use of occupation is compensated per season on the basis of the output value of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 years, i.e. 573 RMB/mu, 1,146 RMB/mu and 1,719 RMB/mu respectively.


142

Since Dongpinghu 77 is adjacent to the borrow areas for Jihe Expressway, which uses the rate of 3,500 RMB/mu, much higher than the highest rate of 1,719 RMB/mu approved in the Scheme, there is a high degree of difficulty in temporary land occupation. To enable smooth progress of implementation, the Project Office held a meeting to the effect of “resettlement issues in Dongpinghu Rehabilitation Subproject” in August 2006, which was attended by the Designer, Employer, External Monitor and Implementing Agency. On the principle of seeking truth from facts, it was agreed to increase the compensation rates to 3,000 RMB/mu, 3,200 RMB/mu, 3,500 RMB/mu and 3,900 RMB/mu respectively, with price adjustment paid out of the total budget.

2.3 Payment

A total amount of 9.0568 million RMB has been paid to the affected villages, households and organizations in Dongpinghu 77, i.e. 98.9% of the total budget of 9.1534 million RMB, including 1.1426 million RMB for permanent land use, 3.3503 million RMB for temporary land use (including land restoration), 1.8577 million RMB for housing, 1.3409 million RMB for special facilities, and 1.3653 million RMB for attachments and others. The additional payment since the last M&E is 3.3556 million RMB, with 65.3% paid for temporary land use. Payment for this subproject is nearly finished. The outstanding amount, an additional budget approved by YRCC in letter No.[2006]133, will be addressed in the next M&E.

3. IMPACTS AND ECONOMIC REHABILITATION

3.1 Dongpinghu 77

The completed land area for permanent use is 133.98 mu in Beimen, Zhanyuan, Wangyaowa, Duyaowa, Gezhenyuan, Xielou, Xizhengzhuang, Chenfang and Wujiawan, including 99.7 mu farmland (51.74 mu contracted to farmers and the rest owned by collective) and 34.28 mu non-productive land.

Detailed information is given in Table 8 below.

(1) Permanent land use and economic rehabilitation

As the land is distributed vertically to the pot dam, the acquired private land is limited, but the range of impact is very large, involving 13 groups, 430 households and 1,615 people in Beimen, Zhanyuan, Wangyaowa and Duyaowa, with a per capita loss of 0.032 mu.


145

Economic rehabilitation: Land compensations for the 9 villages are totally retained for public utilities such as roads, canals and wells as discussed and agreed by farmers. Among the 4 villages where private land is used, Beimen and Wangyaowa have finished land adjustment, Zhanyuan dons not need land adjustment because of little land is taken out of all homes, and Duyaowa pays 600 RMB/mu to farmers until proposed land adjustment in June 2008, when the contract will expires.

The farmers affected by permanent/temporary land use and physical relocation have been interviewed on a random basis, which reveals the impacts on their production and livelihood.

The following box records an interview with Zhao Qingju, who is involved in permanent land use in Wangyaowa:


Zhao: 5 people, 3.35 mu land, including 3 mu field and 0.35 mu vegetable plot. In 2006, 0.2 mu was acquired for permanent use, vegetable plot.


Zhao: Yes, 0.2 mu collective land was provided by the village in June 2006.


Zhao: No compensation was received, because land adjustment was practiced as the mode of economic rehabilitation, without cash payment. The compensation was retained by the village and used for road building.

Interviewer: What have you done to offset your income loss?

Zhao: The farming income was not reduced.


Zhao: With land adjustment, there is no impact.


Zhao: I’m satisfied. No objection to the use of land compensations. The village leaders act fairly and road building is convenient to all of use. My son and daughter will continue to work as farmer workers outside.

Interviewer: Thank you, we will be back in the near future. Wish you a better life.


146


An additional area of 165.29 mu has been used since the last M&E, including 82.16 mu for occupation and 83.13 mu for excavation. The completed total area by the time of this M&E is 1,049.02 mu, 68.86% of the Scheme, including 751.86 mu (farmland) for borrow areas and 297.16 mu for occupation purposes. The affected facilities and organizations include: a warehouse of Chuncheng Township in Dongping, 8 villages (Shiliulin, Zhangliulin, Shanlou, Gezhenyuan, Dadongmen, Wenmiao, Chenfang and Weizihe), 6 households (An Jiahou, An Licheng, Han Wei, Peng Guangqin, Shi Cunqing, Zhan Baoru), and Jihe Expressway Project Management—Lot 10, Shandong Highway & Bridge Construction Group. Refer to Table 9.

By the time of this M&E, 1,019.15 mu has been restored though the restoration of 30 mu in Shiliulin fails to meet the requirements, a percentage of 97%. See Photographs 1 and 2 for the situation of land restoration. With payment and most land restoration achieved in time, the farmers are fairly satisfied.

Photograph 1: Land Being Restored in Shiliulin Photograph 2: Autumn Harvest in Restored Land in Shiliulin

During the temporary occupation of land, the farmers work outside to mitigate/offset income loss. Compensations are mostly used to buy farming machines and developing animal raising activities. Therefore, temporary land use has not caused major impacts on their production and livelihood.

Table 10 shows the progress of temporary land occupation and restoration.

The box records an interview with Chen Qingyu, who is affected by temporary land use in Shanlou of Chuancheng Township, Dongping County:


Yu: 6 people, 6 mu for grain rations and 2.85 mu contracted collective land. In October 2006, 1 mu contracted land was used as borrow area.

Interviewer: Was the land restored? If yes, when?

Yu: Yes, in June 2007.


Yu: The land for temporary use was contracted collective land, rather than private land for producing food for personal consumption, so compensations were retained by the village for road/well building. But the village exempted me from 220 RMB rent for 2007, and, further to this, contracted 1 mu restored land to me after applying fertilizer and ploughing after the wheat harvest this year, allowing me to plant an autumn crop.

Interviewer: What have you done to offset your income loss?

4. PHYSICAL RELOCATION AND HOUSING RESTORATION

All the 85 resettlement families in 3 villages have been resettled, with 1.8577 million RMB paid by the Project Office, including 1.2073 million RMB for housings (6,242.44 m2, main and auxiliary rooms) and 650,400 RMB for associated structures and sparse trees. In the course of implementation, payments are made at the rates approved in the Scheme except for minor price adjustment for auxiliary rooms.

Due to land restrains, resettlement of these 85 families is done in 2 different modes: decentral resettlement in Gezhenyuan and Wujiaman, combination of decentral and central resettlement


149

in Xizhengzhuang. Homesteads have been identified for all of the 83 households in need of new homesteads, including 72 having completed houses (including 14 bought) and the rest 11 not needing new houses at this moment (living with family members). Resettlement families are resettled, new houses are better in both area and structure. Water/power supply, road and other amenities are completed.

See Photographs 3 and 4 for new houses and new road.

The M&E team has interviewed Zheng Dongxian, a resettlement family in Xizhengzhuang. The following box records this interview:

Interviewer: Hello, how many people are there in your family? Zheng: 3 people. Interview: Have you built a new house? If yes, How many rooms? Zheng: Yes, 4 main rooms, 4 auxiliary rooms, 1 gate and a staircase, with a floor area of some 126 m2. Interviewer: How much have you received as housing compensation? How have you used the money? Zheng: 15,700 RMB, not enough a construct a new house, which costs more than 50,000 RMB. But the new house is larger, running water rather than well water is available, and a road together with street lamps is in place. Interviewer: Do you think your livelihood is greatly affected? Zheng: It is affected in a sense, but living and housing conditions are improved. Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the existing production/living conditions? What’s your plan for the


150

future? Zheng: Yes. I will go on farming, but also work outside in the slack season, to make more money. Interviewer: Thank you, we will be back in the near future. Wish you a better life.


The special facilities affected by Dongpinghu 77 include: 300 m 35kv high voltage power line, 30 m 10kv power line, an optical cable and 300 m telephone line. Compensations for the replacement of such have been disbursed to responsible contractors by the Project Office.

The special facilities affected by Dongpinghu 10 include: 72 power lines and optical cables (4 35kv high-voltage lines, 13 10kv high-voltage lines, 55 other lines) and 4 access crossings. These have been completed by the time of this M&E.


A sample inspection is made in Shanlou with more temporary land use and Xizhengzhuang with physical relocation in Dongpinghu 77, to keep aware of the progress of temporary land use, physical relocation, economic rehabilitation, housing restoration, and income recovery. Refer to the recorded interviews.

With the exception of a family “enjoying five guarantees” in Xizhengzhuang, which has been resettled properly, land acquisition has not affected in any vulnerable groups elsewhere.


(1) Compensations are paid as fixed in the Scheme except that the rate for temporary land use is adjusted to 3,000 RMB/mu, 3,200 RMB/mu, 3,500 RMB/mu and 3,900 RMB/mu, and that for auxiliary brick-timber housing to 163 RMB/m2 and 160 RMB/m2 in practice respectively.

(2) Land compensations for permanent land use are totally retained by villages and, through discussion of villagers, used for public utilities such as roads, canals and wells. Among the 4 affected villages, 2 have carried out land adjustment, while the other 2 do not need land adjustment due to little land loss of all families. This does not represent any major impacts on farming.

(3) Payment for temporary land use is made in full. As construction is totally completed, land restoration and economic rehabilitation are performed except that the restoration of 30 mu in Shiliulin fails to meet the requirement.

(4) Resettlement families are resettled properly, and housing is nearly finished. Homestead areas, housing structures, living circumstances and other amenities such water/power supply facilities and access roads are ameliorated. Farmers are fairly satisfied.

(5) Special facilities are replaced as required in the Scheme, and payment is finished.

(6) Case-specific preferential policies are not provided, but the affected vulnerable groups enjoy equal rights as other affected people regarding compensation and local government preference. They have been all resettled properly.


151

8. OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS

(1) The restored 30 mu land in Shiliulin is not even, being prone to flooding and affecting the harvest. It is expected that the responsible departments help solve this issue.

(2) Additional compensations for young crops have not been paid.

3.3 Economic Rehabilitation

Economic rehabilitation is mainly achieved by land adjustment. Details on land adjustment are as follows:

(1) Among the 40 villages moved, 12 not involved in land acquisition need to give farmland;

(2) Among the 37 villages involved in land acquisition (including 9 not to be resettled), 7 are almost balanced between the benefits and impacts of land acquisition, without needing land adjustment between villages, but needing adjustment between and within groups;

(3) The 6 villages involved only in temporary land acquisition do not need any form of land adjustment after having received compensations;

(4) There are 36 villages (36＝12＋37－7－6) needing land adjustment between villages, and 43 (43＝12＋37－6) needing land adjustment between and within groups;

(5) By the time of this report,

a. Of the 36 villages needing village-to-village land adjustment, 19 have done (53%), one more since the last M&E, but the others have not (47%), including 4 having reached an initial intention;

b. Among the 43 villages needing adjustment between and within groups, 26 have adjusted between groups (60%), the same progress as achieved by the time of the last M&E, and 26 villages adjusted within groups (60%), one more than the figure reported last time. Refer to Table 6 for details.

Land adjustment:

In Miaozhai, 3 villages including Mayezhuang, Gaozhuang and Heluzhuang are involved in permanent land acquisition, and land adjustment is needed between 4 villages. At present, village-to-village adjustment has been finished, and adjustment within groups of Mayezhuang, Gaozhuang and Heluzhuang has been finished also. With Miaozhai Township Government’s coordination and a compensation for young crops for 4 seasons, Gaozhuang has agreed to accept the 121 mu farmland which the village was previously unwilling to accept. But the land has not been accepted by the time of this M&E. Gaozhuang has provided farmers with flour as compensation paid for young crops.

In Wuqiu, land adjustment between and within groups has been finished in Tanqiu, Jingzhai and Sanyi.

In Fanxian, altogether 11 villages are in need of land adjustment, including Luji, Caozhuang, Baizhuang, Qianwangzhuang, Beiyangcun, Wanggengbai, Zhangdouhai, Houshi, Malukou, Sunlou and Dingzhuang. By the time of this report, because of villagers’ worry about the loss due to difficulties in replacing the old village platform by farmland, village-to-village and group-to-group land adjustment has not been implemented, though the county and township governments have coordinated.

In Dongming, village-to-village and group-to-group land adjustment has been finished in and between Qianzhaizhuang, Houzhaizhuang, Xindianji, Yangzhuang, Guanzhai and Linkou villages involved in the south village platform. The quantity of village-to-village land adjustment between Maozhuang, Dongzhulin, Xizhulin, Xinliuxiang and Laoliuxiang villages involved in the north village platform has been fixed but not implemented yet, and except for Maozhuang, the other 4 haven’t finished adjustment within groups due to the farmers’ lack of confidence in replacing the old village platform by farmland.

In Pingyin, Lingzhuang and Dong’e village platforms are in the need of village-to-village land adjustment. By the time of this report, adjustment between and within villages for Lingzhuang village platform has been finished. Liuzhuang, Xiaohekou, Tieyang and Suqiao villages are in the need of village-to-village land adjustment for Dong’e village platform. Liuzhuang has accepted the farmland given by Tieyang and Suqiao and allocated it to households. As the land contract hasn’t expired, Xiaohekou has not given the farmland to Liuzhuang as planned. With the township government’s coordination, however, Xiaohekou has promised to compensate Liuzhuang for young crops until the transfer of land. Land adjustment between and within groups for the other village platforms has been finished.

4. INCOMES OF AFFECTED PEOPLE 4.1 Income Recovery

This M&E includes a survey of 70 households and 354 people regarding the recovery of incomes, impacts by land acquisition and remedy measures for income recovery, including 9 households in Miaozhai, 17 in Wuqiu, 14 in Fanxian, 18 in Dongming and 12 in Pingyin.

These sample households had an overall per capita income of 1,650 RMB in 2006, 390 RMB more than the figure of 1,260 in the base year, specifically including 1,144 RMB in Miaozhai, 2,094 RMB in Wuqiu, 1,290 RMB in Fanxian, 1,941 RMB in Dongming and 1,471 RMB in Pingyin, respectively 129 RMB, 152 RMB, 488 RMB, 885 RMB and 89 RMB more than in the base year. Generally, there was a tendency toward increase. The structure of incomes was not quite different, but the percentage of constituents was rather different (refer to Charts 1 and 2). In Fanxian and Dongming, there was a higher growth rate of the absolute value mainly because of more time for farmer workers due to farmland reduction and subsequently considerable increase in the income from sideline activities. In Fanxian, the income of farmer workers was 22% more regardless 18% reduction of farming incomes. With the percentage of farming income maintained consistent, the income of farmer workers was increased by 37% in Dongming, causing a considerable increase in the total per capita income. With a negative increase in this source of income in Miaozhai and minor increase in Wuqiu and Pingyin, 7% and 5% respectively, the growth of per capita income was relatively less. As judged from this, farmer workers made a great contribution to the growth of family incomes. Refer to Table 7.

The M&E has traced the poverty situation of sample households according to the national standard, with 2004 used as the base year for Wuqiu (Sanyi Village) and Pingyin and 2003 for the other subprojects. Table 8 provides the statistics of absolute values according to different standards in different years, excluding price indexes. The findings indicate 13% reduction of poor people, 11% increase of non-poor people and general growth of income levels.

4.3 Income Recovery of Affected People

To have a better understanding of the impacts on production/livelihood, 81 households have been interviewed regarding: (1) impact of farmland reduction, (2) use of land compensation, and (3) remedy measures for income recovery.

As shown by the findings, with regard to the impact of farmland reduction, 29% people have other incomes to offset their loss of farming income, without any major impacts on their total incomes, while 25% and 22% have lost less land or interior land, with any major impacts on their total incomes either. Only 20% believe their family incomes are affected as a result of farmland reduction. Compensations are used to cover daily expenses, children’s tuitions and medical fees by 65% and develop farming and sideline activities by 35%. The findings do not indicate that the use of compensations has greatly promoted the sustainable growth of family incomes, so more will be done to initiate the effective use of compensations. Regarding the aspect of remedy measures for income recovery (no investigation data from Miaozhai where compensation for young crops is involved only, without land compensation), 55% people offset their income loss due to farmland reduction by working as farmer workers and 15% by doing small business, whilst 16% do not care at all. To put in another way, 60% are active in coping with farmland reduction.

5. PHYSICAL RELOCATION AND RESETTLEMENT

5.1 Overall Planning of Village Resettlement

Resettlement plans have been prepared for all the 5 subprojects. As entrusted by Changyuan County Government, Hebi Institute of Urban Planning & Design has prepared an overall planning of new Miaozhai and Wuqiu. Entrusted by Fanxian County Government, the Architectural Design Institute of China Global Company has designed the “Planning of Village and Township Construction in Luji Village Platform”. Dongming County Government has completed the “Implementation Scheme for the Planning of Dongming Subproject”. In Pingyin, a “Resettlement Plan of Village Platform” has been worked out for Dong’e village platform.

5.2 Physical Relocation

Miaozhai, Wuqiu, Dongming and Pingyin necessitate the relocation of 71 households in 2 villages. As of this report, these households have been all moved and resettled in different modes, including 48 renting houses, 7 borrowing houses, 15 building temporary houses and 1 living in an old house.

This total number of 71 households includes 58 in Pingyin, i.e. 82%, which is the focus of M&E. Among the 58 affected households, 12 live in the temporary dwellings in the farmland identified as temporary residential and stockpile areas east of the village and 46 rent houses in 10 adjacent villages. In order to enable resettlement as soon as possible, while providing economic compensations (refer to Report No.4 for details), Dong’e Township Government has also made a “Resettlement Plan” for 58 households, providing the scope and method of homestead identification, rate of housing allowance, and schedule of housing. To encourage the villagers to build new houses without delay, this plan provides a subsidy of 2,000 RMB for each household that will have completed housing by the end of June 2007. As of this M&E, 22 of these households have started housing in the new platform, including 16 having completed house foundations and received housing subsidies paid on the basis of schedule.

The M&E includes high attention to the affected vulnerable. According to the investigation, no case-specific preferential policies are provided, but the vulnerable groups enjoy the same rights as the other villagers in compensation and land adjustment.

Local governments promise to solve the relocation of poverty-stricken families by using local counterpart funds, mainly including financial support for or assistance in housing.

6.2 Willingness to Move

As shown by our follow-up monitoring of 82 people involved in the 5 subprojects in respect of their willingness to move, 98％ say yes, somewhat higher than 88% reported last time. Generally, there is a stable and better willingness to move (refer to Table 8). In Dongming, the percentage of yes is 50%, greatly higher than that reported land time, reflecting the eager to move and initiative in financing. As investigated, 82% households are unable to complete housing within 2 years after the completion of village platforms, largely because they are (1) unable to afford a new house, or unable to afford another house after having built one recently, (2) hoping for government subsidy for housing by saying “No”, and (3) waiting to see.


7.1 Evaluation

(1) Compensation rates and disbursement/payment

The local government has promised to pay various compensations out of the local counterpart funds. Although different compensation rates and forms are used for different subprojects, compensations are paid at established rates. As of this report, 36.50 million RMB has been disbursed, including 23.99 million RMB paid for appurtenances, young crops, housings and special facilities. The outstanding amounts are in the progress of payment and partly retained the purpose of infrastructure construction and physical relocation.

(2) Permanent land acquisition and economic rehabilitation.

A total land area of 4652.95 mu has been acquired for the permanent use of village platforms, without any change since the last M&E. According to the balance between relocation benefit and effect of land acquisition, 53% villages have finished village-to-village land adjustment, 60% implemented group-to-group land adjustment and 60% implemented adjustment within groups.

(3) Temporary land occupation and restoration.

The temporary land acquisition is 5475.55 mu, of which 3535.87 mu has been restored (68% of 5231.55 mu to be restored), mainly in Miaozhai and Wuqiu. The farmland for pipes in Fanxian, pipes and excavation works in Dongming and temporary purposes in Pingyin has been totally restored.

(4) Income recovery

According to survey results of 70 households and 354 people, there was a per capita income of 1,650 RMB in 2006, which was 390 RMB more than 1,260 in the base year, 13% decrease of poor population and 11% increase of non-poor people in comparison with the situation in the base year. There is a general growth of family incomes.


170

(5) Physical relocation and housing restoration

All the 71 houses affected by permanent land use and construction drainage have been moved. Homesteads are needed for 39 households, including 34 having received homesteads, with 12 houses built and 22 being built. These 71 households have been resettled in different ways.

(5) Protection of rights and interests

Resettlement in new village platforms has not been started, but local governments promise to give help to poverty-stricken families during relocation period. Case-specific protection policies are not provided for vulnerable groups, such as families enjoying “five guarantees”, those with physical disabilities and women headed families, they enjoy the equal rights as others in the respect of compensation and resettlement.

Main works for village platforms are nearly completed, but infrastructures are not started. On the basis of the willingness to move, a high degree of difficulty is forecast in resettlement and housing.


(1) Economic rehabilitation. In Miaozhai, the dispute about land adjustment in Gaozhuang has been solved by the township government’s promising to compensate for young crops for 4 seasons and Gaozhuang’s agreeing to accept the farmland, but the land has not been accepted formally. In Fanxian and Dongming, land adjustment is still under discussion, mainly because of the villagers’ worry about great farmland loss caused by old village platforms’ uselessness after the transfer of farmland now on hand. However, they will be compensated for young crops prior to the achievement of land adjustment. In Pingyin, with township government’s coordination, the villages which ought to receive farmland will be compensated for young crops until the acceptance of farmland. Compensation for young crops has not been implemented. It is recommended that the county and township governments provide necessary measures for restoring old village platforms, to eliminate villagers’ worry.

(2) Construction drainage. The villagers of Tanqiu and Jingzhai have complained about farmland inundation and house cracking due to village platform scouring by rain. This problem is under discussion and treatment.

(3) Willingness to move. As shown by our follow-up monitoring in the respect of willingness to move, 97% say yes, but only 18% say yes in the respect of being able to build their houses in time. In the view of investigation indexes, the percentage is relatively low due to one reason or another, which is somewhat different from the project objectives. It is expected that facing a large scale of relocation, the local government put forward some feasible measures, especially preferential policies on funds, to encourage the completion of housing in time.

1. GENERAL


River training includes 15 components, with 14 located in Henan Province and 1 in Shandong Province, involving 5 cities and 10 counties/districts: Wenxian and Wuzhi Counties of Jiaozuo City, Yuanyang and Fengqiu Counties of Xinxiang City, Huiji District, Zhongmou County and Xingyang of Zhengzhou City, Kaifeng Suburbs and Kaifeng County of Kaifeng City in Henan Province, and Juancheng County of Heze City in Shandong Province.

In July 2004, a “Resettlement Plan of Lower Yellow River Training Works” (referred to as the “Resettlement Plan” or “RP” for short hereinafter) was prepared by Henan Yellow River Reconnaissance and Design Institute. Subsequently, a “Special Report on Preliminary Design of Land Acquisition and Resettlement under Yellow River Training Works in Shandong” (referred to as “Special Report”) was prepared by Shandong Yellow River Reconnaissance and Design Institute in May 2005. A total budget of 465.31 million RMB has been approved by the State for river training works in both Henan and Shandong, and 15.59 million RMB by YRCC for land acquisition and resettlement, including 14.27 million RMB as direct costs.

As required by YRCC Project Office in letter No. [2006]01 “Request for Earliest Preparation of Resettlement Implementation Scheme”, the said design institutes have separately prepared “Special Report on Implementation Scheme of Land Acquisition and Resettlement in Jiaozuo River Training Works”, “Special Report on Implementation Scheme of Land Acquisition and Resettlement in Xinxiang River Training Works”, “Special Report on Implementation Scheme of Land Acquisition and Resettlement in Kaifeng River Training Works”, “Special Report on Implementation Scheme of Land Acquisition and Resettlement in Zhengzhou River Training Works” and “Implementation Scheme of Land Acquisition and Resettlement in Shandong Yellow River Training Works” (referred to as the “Implementation Scheme” or “IS” for short hereinafter). As entrusted by YRCC Project Office, Henan/Shandong Yellow River Bureau approved 15.2292 million RMB in the IS, including 13.9092 million RMB direct costs, respectively 360,800 and 360,800 RMB less than the original figures.

In the period of September to October 2007, an additional amount of 713,800 RMB was approved as direct costs by YRCC in letter Nos. [2007]70 “Approval of Additional Costs for Laotian’an River Training Works”, [2007]115 “Approval of Design Changes of Taohuayu River Training Works”, and [2007]124 “Approval of Design Changes of Dong’an and Zhangwangzhuang River Training Works”, including 197,800 RMB for Laotian’an, 100,500 RMB for Dong’an, 334,400 RMB for Zhangwangzhuang and 81,100 RMB for Taohuayu.

To sum up, a total budget of 15.943million RMB has been approved for land acquisition and resettlement, including 14.623 million RMB direct costs.

The city Yellow River engineering bureau acts as the Executive Agency of land acquisition and resettlement, to be responsible for resettlement management and coordination. In practice, the county/district Yellow River engineering bureaus are entrusted, in the form of notice of land acquisition on behalf, to contact with the local land management authorities and village committees, deal with land acquisition on behalf, compensation for temporary land use and other matters, and disburse resettlement funds as agreed. The Implementing Agency includes relevant county and township governments and village organizations, which are responsible for implementing resettlement. Henan/Shandong Yellow River Reconnaissance and Design Institute is employed as the Designer to be responsible for preparing resettlement plans, and Henan Huanghe Resettlement Economic Development Company as the Engineer to be in change of cost and schedule control during implementation. The resettlement management framework meets basically project management requirements and land resettlement demands.

The scope of work in resettlement mainly covers acquisition of land, relocation of housings, clearing of attachments and replacement of special facilities.

It is planned to acquire 9,123.35 mu for the 15 components, including 4,452.93 mu for permanent and 4,670.42 mu for temporary use, versus 7,755.15 mu, 3,637.18 mu and 4,117.97 mu in the IS. By the time of this report, a total land area of 2,802.76 mu has been acquired for permanent use, accounting for 63% of the RP, 77% of the IS and 96% of the agreement, involving 10 counties, 17 townships, 41 villages, 3 townships and a state-owned tree farm, and 3,703.85 mu for temporary use, taking up 79%, 90% and 100% respectively.

(2) during the random inspection of 14 villages and 1 township involved in 8 components, all village leaders provide financial evidences of their receipt of compensations; and

(3) through a random inspection of 23 households and villager representatives affected by 7 components, the affected people say that they have received their due compensations for attachments and permanent land use among other entitlements.

3. LADN ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

Permanent land use includes spurs, protection works, access roads, and Laozhaizhuang new site, with a total area of 4,452.93 mu comprising floodland, waters and farmland. According to the IS, permanent land acquisition is necessitated by all the 15 components except for Fujunsi, with 3,637.18 mu, including floodland for the use of spurs and protection works. By the time of this M&E, a total area of 2,802.76 has been acquired for the permanent use of 14 components, i.e. 63% of the RP and 77%, involving 10 counties (district), 17 townships and 41 villages. Specifically, this total area includes 376.519 mu collective land of 3 townships and farms, 1,150.174 mu collective land of 19 villages and groups, and 1,142.3 mu contracted land of 2,323 households and 10,180 people in 22 villages and 83 groups.

Where collective land is used, compensations are reserved by villages/groups for the common use of infrastructures. Where contracted land is acquired, economic rehabilitation is arranged by villager groups in the following 3 modes as chosen by the majority on the basis of public consultation:

(1) Option A: pay to land losers in full or in part, with the remaining shared equally and land adjustment arranged;

(2) Option B: pay to land losers directly, without land adjustment;

(3) Option C: provide collective land for land losers, with compensations retained for public use, or partly paid to land losers as compensation for one crop and partly retained for public use.

As found in the investigation, Option A is chosen by 34 of the 83 affected groups, Option B by 41 and Option C by 8.

Refer to Table 2-4 for the progress of land acquisition and resettlement, and Annexes 1 and 4 for more detailed information.

The RP shows 4,670.42 mu for temporary use, versus 4,117.97 mu in the IS. By the time of this M&E, 3,690.085 mu has been agreed and 3,703.885 mu completed, taking up 79% and 90% of the RP and IS, involving 37 villages, 2 township governments and 1 farm.

According to the IS, land restoration is needed for Zhangwangzhuang, Dong’an, Laotian’an, Wuzhuang, Mao’an, Shunhejie, Gucheng, Caogang and Laozhaizhuang, with a total area of 3,267.41 mu. The total area restored by the time of this M&E is 2,815.255 mu, taking up 86% of the IS.


3.1.1 Zhangwangzhuang

In the RP and IS, it is planned to acquire 566 mu for permanent use. By the time of this M&E, 566 mu has been agreed and completed, i.e. 100% of both RP and IS.

Permanent land use involves Zhangzhuang, Wangzhuang, Zhangwangzhuang of Wenquan Township in Wenxian County of Jiaozuo City, Qilipu of Heluo Township and Dayugou Township Government in Gongyui City, totally collective land of townships and villages or groups.

In Zhangzhuang where collective land of 8 groups is used, compensations are part paid to households at the rate of 150 RMB/mu and partly used for installing power lines and planting trees. The land in Zhangwangzhuang is owned by the collective, and land compensations are used for infrastructures such as wells and roads. In Wangzhuang where the collective land has been contracted to farmers, so compensations are paid to households directly. In Qilipu where the acquired floodland of Groups 5 and 6 on the opposite river bank is acquired, since the farmers are reluctant to go across the river for farming, these groups have separately contracted 252 mu and 280 mu to 30 and 36 local households. For the use of construction, 170.645 mu has been acquired here and compensations paid to the contractors directly, who have paid rent. The land acquired in Dayu Township is owned by the township government, which puts the compensations under its own control.

3.1.2 Dong’an

In the RP and IS, it is planned to acquire 337.08 mu for permanent. The area agreed and fully completed by the time of this M&E is 337.8 mu, i.e. 100% of the RP and IS.


185

This aspect involves 16 groups, 448 families and 1,933 people in Dongcaoting, Xicaoting, Mahouzhuang, Lihouzhuang and Jiangou of Beiguo Township, Wuzhi County. Excluding the collective floodland in Xicaoting, 201.6 mu of the rest 208.87 mu contracted land involves 446 households and 1,926 people of 16 groups, with a per capita loss of 0.05-0.35 mu, or a an average percentage of 0.105 mu. On the basis of full discussion between group leaders and farmers, Option C is chosen by 6 groups in Dongcaoting, while Option B is preferred by 10 groups in Mahouzhuang, Lihouzhuang and Jiangou. Refer to Annex 4 for details.

3.1.3 Laotian’an

The RP shows 159.93 mu for permanent use, versus 116.9 mu in the IS. By the time of this report, 50.9 mu has been completed, i.e. 9% of the RP and IS. This involves the collective floodland of Yangyanjing in Zhandian Township, Wuzhi County. Compensations have been paid to the village as agreed and used for infrastructures.

Agreements and compensations for 37 mu are pending because the compensations rates are low and unacceptable in the opinion of farmers.

3.1.4 Wuzhuang

The proposed permanent land use in the RP is 352.47 mu, versus 352.4 mu in the IS. By the time of this report, 160.08 mu has been agreed and completed, taking up 45.4% of the RP and IS and 100% of the agreed area, involving Wuzhuang, Panguan, Yisanzhuang, Liyuechang and Huanglianji in Guanchang Township. Payment is not yet made to Huanglianji due to the undefined boundary of land. With 7.46 mu collective floodland acquired in Liyuechang and 120.22 mu contracted land in Wuzhuang, Panguan and Yisanzhuang, there is a per capita loss of 0.1-0.69 mu, or 0.15-7.19%.

In Wuzhuang, 4.11 mu fresh floodland is taken out of Group 8, and, on the basis of internal discussion within the group, Option B is chosen as the mode of economic rehabilitation. Land acquisition of 41.19 mu in Panguan involves 2 groups, 65 households and 346 people. Based on internal discussion, Option C is used for economic rehabilitation, with collective floodland provided for the land losers and compensations retained to offset the sufficient costs for excavating wells. At present, 30 wells are completed, which greatly benefits irrigation. The land in Yisanzhuang is distributed here and there, generally with several fields for each family, including good farmland which produces food for personal consumption and floodland which does not provide firm outputs. A total area of fresh floodland 83.94 mu is used for the project, involving 6 groups, 30 households and 144 people, with a per capita loss of 0.28-0.78 or a loss rate of 4.14-4.64%. Through internal discussion, Option B is adopted as the mode of economic rehabilitation.

Land restoration is not involved in Taohuayu, Baohezhai, Zhaokou, Weitan, Heigangkou and Fujunsi. In practice, however, the Implementing Agency has leveled the land for temporary use, wherever possible, to enable farming by the local farmers. For instance, this is done by the Implementing Agency for the barren hills for the temporary use of Taohuayu.

4. PHYSICAL RELOCATION AND ECONOMIC REHABILITATION

Laozhaizhuang is the only component that necessitates physical relocation and economic rehabilitation.

In the RP and IS, this aspect involves 18 households and 85 people in Meizhuang, including 9 affected and 9 not affected directly. In practice, due to the difficulty in identifying homesteads on the opposite side of the river and the unwillingness of some people to move to the opposite side, the 9 affected households are moved backwards only, with the original village maintained in its integrity.

By the time of this M&E, these 9 households have been all relocated, with a total floor area of 1,143.753 m2.

4.1 Compensation for Housings

Compensation rates: The RP and IS include 260 RMB/m2, 220 RMB/m2, 160 RMB/m2 and 65 RMB/m2 for brick-concrete, brick-timber, earth-timber and sample structures. In practice, the rates are applied as published in the government notice, i.e. 160 RMB/m2, 120 RMB/m2, 80 RMB/m2 and 50 RMB/m2 respectively.

Payment: Compensations for housings have been paid to the 9 households in full by the time of this M&E, with a sum of 164,450 RMB.

4.2 Restoration of Housing Conditions

Homestead identification and housing: Housing is needed for all the 9 resettlement families. By the time of this M&E, homesteads have been identified for all, with 6 houses built, 1 being built and 2 to be built. Two families have not acted because one does business in the town, not eager to have a new, and the other is ready to start after the busy season.


193

Resettlement: The total number of 9 households includes 5 moved in new houses, 2 living in borrowed rooms and 2 elsewhere in the town/city.

Refer to Table 4-1 for the progress of resettlement and Photographs 5 and 6 for a comparison of housing conditions.

Evaluation: The progress of physical relocation practically meets the schedule of construction. Compensations for housings have been paid to households. Homesteads have been identified for all. Resettlement families have been resettled properly. New houses are somewhat better than old ones in respect of circumstances, areas and structures. Drinking water is available. Power supply for domestic use is in progress. The affected people are rather satisfied.

Replacement of special facilities is necessitated by Taohuayu and Laozhaizhuang only.

It is proposed to replace a gate affected by Taohuayu with an approved budget of 2.16 million RMB. An agreement was concluded with the Water Supply Division of Henan Yellow River Engineering Bureau in November 2006, with an agreed amount of 2.16 million RMB. Now, a new gate has been completed and put into operation.

Special facilities affected by Laozhaizhuang include a gate, a waste canal, 2 access bridges, a


194

GPS benchmark, 650 m canals, and 1,300 m power lines. By the time of this M&E, 32 power poles have been replaced, but other facilities are still in progress.

6. RECOVERY OF INCOMES

The M&E team has looked into the impact on and recovery of incomes, interviewed with the villages, groups or households choosing Options A and C, and followed the family incomes of sample households in groups preferring Option B.

6.1 Land Acquisition and Impacts

The affected households have been interviewed in the form of multiple choice questionnaires regarding the income impact of land acquisition, use of compensations and remedy measures.

As shown by the investigation results from 35 households, 46 have less land loss, with minor impacts (if any) on their family incomes; 20% earn less from farming but more from other sources, without any impact on their total incomes; 8% have lost poor quality land, with minor impacts; and 26% are affected considerably. Regarding the use of land compensations, 74% households use them for medical fees and daily expenses, 43% for children’s tuitions, and 37% for farming activities. Subsequent to farmland reduction, farmer workers are the major means of income recovery, accounting for 89% of the households interviewed. The rest 11% increase their family incomes by business. Detailed figures are provided in Table 6-1.

6.2 Impacts and Recovery of Incomes in Options A and C

This M&E includes a typical survey of the villages, groups or households preferring Options A and C regarding how their family incomes are affected by the acquisition of collective land. The following boxes record such interviews.

(1) Interview with Chenqiao involved in Gucheng

Interview 1

Background: 180 mu collective floodland is acquired in Chenqiao for the permanent use of Gucheng.

Interviewee: Liu Jizhong, Party branch secretary.

Brief of interview:

A total area of 189 mu collective land of the village is acquired for permanent use, all proposed wetland, partly cultivated by some farmers now. Payments are used to compensate for more than 50 mu at the rate of 200-300 RMB/mu, with the remaining maintained by the village and totally used for public purposes, including power facilities and roads.

Farmers are for the training works, which, when completed, will not affect our production and livelihood, but will protect the farmland and facilitate farming activities and ensure good harvests.

(2) Interview with Panguan and Nanren with a higher percentage of farmland loss due to permanent land acquisition for Wuzhuang and Weitan

Interview 2

Background: 41.19 mu floodland is acquired in Panguan for the permanent use of Gucheng.

There used to be 8 groups, 440 households and 2,200 people in the village, with 1.318 mu per capita. Land acquisition involves 2 groups, 65 households and 346 people, with a per capita land loss of 0.12 mu. Option C is used for economic rehabilitation.

Interviewee: Li Fuqun, Party branch secretary.

Brief of interview:

Our village is stable, with a per capita farmland area of 1.318 mu. 2 groups are involved in land acquisition, and land adjustment was performed as early as before the commencement of construction, probably in August-September last year, with collective land provided for the land losers. Compensations have been received before long, distributed to groups, and used for excavating wells as discussed by our representatives, with 30 wells completed for the convenience of irrigation. Land losers are affected in now way. Their land is cropped in time, without any impact.


196

Interview 3

Background: 286 mu floodland is acquired in Nanren for the permanent use of Gucheng, including 36.9 mu collective land. There were previously 12 groups, 1,156 households and 5,200 people with a per capita farmland area of 2.5, including 7 groups, 80 households and 410 people with a per capita farmland area of 0.608 mu. Option A is adopted for economic rehabilitation.

Interviewee: Ma Qingchun, leader of Group 5.

Brief of interview:

There were previously 128 households and 591 people, with a per capita farmland area of 2.572 mu. 36.5 mu is acquired this time, involving 13 households and 66 people, i.e. a per capita loss of 0.553 mu. Meetings were held by the group. Since the land was compensated as floodland, all farmers complained of less compensation, willing to get land instead. It was agreed to provide the reserved collective land for the farmers who have lost land. Our collective land is much. How much you have lost, how much is provided for you, so nobody complain now.

Compensations were received by the villager committee long ago and handed over to groups. An amount of 300 RMB/mu was paid to households to compensate for young crops, and land was farmed in time, without any impact on households. The remaining money was retained by the group for the purpose of excavating wells and planting trees.

As shown by interviews, the acquired land is floodland, and the replaced land is floodland too, so the resultant farmland is neither less in quantity regardless Option A or C, nor different in quality. Additionally, farming in time is not delayed, so land acquisition has not caused any major impacts.

6.3 Income Constituents and Changes of Sample Households in Option B

As understood in our surveys of sample households, major impacts on family incomes largely exist where there is less farmland per capita and Option B is adopted. In this case, the M&E team has carried out a baseline census of the incomes 2005 and a follow-up investigation of the income recovery 2006 of 25 sample households in 3 villages which have lost a higher percentage of land and adopted Option B for economic rehabilitation.

The survey results indicate a per capita income of 1,614 RMB in 2005, including 942 RMB from farming, 649 RMB from sideline and 22 RMB from other sources, taking up 58.4%, 40.2% and 1.4% respectively; versus 2,234 RMB in 2006, including 789 RMB, 1,425 RMB and 20 RMB, or 35.3%, 63.8 and 0.9%. Farming, sideline and others were the major sources of family incomes.

With the income in the follow-up year compared with that in the base year, the per capita


197

income in 2006 included 154 RMB less from farming and 776 RMB more from sideline, taking up 23.1% less and 23.6% more of family incomes. The structure of incomes changed in that sideline has become the largest contributor of family incomes step by step. Refer to Table 6-3 and Chart 1 for further information.

More information on the constitutions and changes of family incomes of sample households is provided in Annex 5.

Note: 2005 is used as base year and 2006 as follow-up year.

Further analysis reveals a decline of 421 RMB in the farming incomes and an increase of 278 RMB in sideline incomes in Yisanzhuang (separately 16.6% less and 16.4% more), slightly less family incomes, 41 RMB and 724 RMB in Shunzhong (16.7% and 17%), more family incomes, 75 RMB and 1,042 RMB in Shunnan (23.5% and 24.4%), obviously more family incomes.

As seen from comparison of the family incomes in the base and follow-up years, 1 household and 6 people out of the total number of 5 sample households and 36 people in Wuzhuang

earned more in the year of land acquisition, accounting for 17% of the total, versus 15 and 83 out of the total number of 20 sample households and 108 people in Shunhejie, taking up 77%. Details are given in Table 6-4 and Annex 5.

The reason is that farmland reduction has caused in a decline in farming incomes, but better awareness of farmer workers, who contribute more and more to the family incomes as one of the major sources of income. Particularly in Shunzhong and Shunnan, where brick kilns in the floodplain areas nearby represents easier opportunities and less costs for farmer workers than in urban areas, most farmers work for the kilns and earn more than in farming. This has greatly increased the total income of sample households.

The following is an interview with Shunnan villagers:

Interview 4

Background: A total area of 132.34 mu is taken from Shunnan for the use of Shunhejie River Training Works, involving 6 groups and causing a per capita loss of 0.358 mu. Option B is adopted as the mode of economic rehabilitation.

Interviewee: Ding Xiaoru, a family of minimum income guarantee in Group 6

Brief of interview:

There are 2 people in my family, with 2.5 mu, including 2.2 mu acquired this time, causing considerable impacts on my family. Compensations have been received long before.

As a family of minimum income guarantee, we depend on relatives who help our farming, 50 RMB/person allowance provided by the civil administration each month, plus flour and oil on the occasion of festivals, and cooperative medical care offered by the village. Now the land is less, we can manage to cultivate the remaining land by ourselves and get enough food to eat.

All families are working for a kiln in the adjacent village, quite close to here. I’m idle at home, so the village has found an errant for me at the kiln, with more than 20 RMB earned per day to help out family expenses.

According to China’s Communiqué of National Economic and Social Development in 2006, rural residents with a per capita income less than 693, in the range of 694-958 and more than


199

958 RMB were respectively classified as absolutely poor people, low-income and non-poor people in 2006, versus less than 683, in the range of 684-945 and more than 945 RMB in the base year of 2005.

Wuzhuang: In the base year, all sample households had a per capita income over 945 RMB, 36 non-poor people in total. In the follow-up year, due to land acquisition and less time for farmer works, 5 people earned less than 958 RMB and joined the low-income population, causing a reduction of 5 people in the non-poor population as a consequence, i.e. 14%. The situation of poverty changed.

Shunhejie: In the base year, 21 people had a per capita income less than 683 RMB, while 14 earned 684-945 RMB and 73 more than 945 RMB, falling within the poor, low-income and non-poor populations respectively. In the follow-up year, more incomes generated by farmer workers and allowances provided by the State for grain production reduced the absolutely poor and low-income populations by 21 and 12 people respectively, i.e. 19% and 11%, and increased the non-poor population by 33, or 31%, implying obvious improvement of poverty.

Detailed information is given in Table 6-5 and Charts 2 and 3.

7. PROTECTIN OF RIGHTS AND INTERESTS

This M&E includes a survey of 7 villages and 35 households in the form of questionnaire regarding resettlement training and complaints management, including channel and output.

7.1 Training

As shown investigation results, 100% of the 35 households are willing to be trained, mainly in animal raising and sideline activities, accounting for 49% and 29% respectively as shown in Table 7-1.

Thus, it is expected that the responsible departments provide training programs and arrange multilevel and multidiscipline training activities, for the affected people to adjust their structure of farming activities and find more sources of income under the condition of farmland reduction, so as to recover and improve their original productivity and standard of living as early as possible.

The M&E includes interviews with 35 affected people in 7 villages regarding their degree of satisfaction with the channel and output of complaints management. None of them had any complaint.


This M&E includes special attention to the affected vulnerable groups in the project area. As investigated, there are 4 households and 7 people affected by the 15 components, accounting for 20% of the total number of households investigated. These people are properly resettled: supported by relatives/friends who cultivate their farmland on behalf, or provided with food and cash relief by the county civil administration on festivals. Also, the county, township or village has arranged cooperative medical care for them, providing them with access to medical care and relieving them from medical service fees.

8. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(1) Compensation rates: Compensation rates for both permanent and temporary land use are applied as approved in the RP and IS. In Laozhaizhuang, housings are compensated at the rates published by the government and attachments at the rates fixed in the IS.

(2) Payment: A total sum of 11.29968 million RMB direct resettlement costs has been agreed, accounting for 79% of the approved and 77% of the total budget, and 11.09978 million RMB has been paid, taking up 78% and 76% respectively.

(3) Permanent land use and economic rehabilitation: Permanent land acquisition is necessary for all the components except for Fujunsi, with a total area of 2,802.76 mu completed by the time of this M&E, taking up 63% of the RP and 77% of the IS, involving both collective and contracted land of 17 townships and 41 villages in 10 counties. Altogether 83 groups of 22 villages are involved in the use of contracted land, with Option A chosen by 34, Option B by 41 and Option C by 8 as the mode of economic rehabilitation.

(4) Temporary land occupation and restoration: A total area of 3,690.085 mu has been signed for temporary use, including 3,703.885 mu completed, accounting for 79% of the RP and 90% of the IS. The land to be restored amounts to 2,815.22 mu, which is all restored, accounting for 86% of the IS.

(5) Physical relocation and resettlement: Compensations for housings have been paid to 9 resettlement families in Laozhaizhuang, with homesteads identified and people resettled properly.

(6) Income recovery: Land acquisition has caused less income from farming, but more from sideline activities, especially farmer works, so the family income of sample households are generally maintained. The family income of 17% people in Wuzhuang and 77% in Shunhejie reached or exceeded the original level in the year of land acquisition.


202

(7) Protection of rights/interests: The affected people have never received any training under the project, but they wish to be trained. Vulnerable groups, such as the families enjoying “five guarantees”, people with physical disability and women-headed families, enjoy the equal rights as others in the respect of compensation and resettlement.
