Executive Summary

A. Project Background

1. Fuling District Jiaoshi - Damu Highway Reconstruction Project is a subproject of Asian Development Bank (ADB)-Financed Chongqing Urban and Rural Infrastructure Development II Project. The proposed road improvements start from Fuling District’s Jiaoshi Town to Damu Town, passing through Jiaoshi Township and Juandongchang Township with total length of 16.4 km.

B. Impacts

2. The project needs to permanently occupy and expropriate rural collective land of 257 mu, including 47.3 mu of arable land and 209.7 mu uncultivated land, producing an impact on Fuling Ditrict’s 10 village groups in 6 villages of 2 townships, a total of 357 people in 96 households; it temporarily occupies an area of 72.5 mu, of which, cultivated land is 10.5 mu, and uncultivated land 62 mu, affecting Fuling Ditrict’s 2 townships and 6 villages, a total of 148 people in 38 households; rural residential houses with area of 770 m² are to be demolished, which include 625 m² brick-concrete structure and 145 m² cob wall structure housing, influencing a total of 21 people in 5 households in 2 villager groups of 2 villages. It has an impact on totally 368 people in 99 households.

C. Information Disclosure, Participation and Appeal

3. All the affected households, villages and communities, village leaders and town and township and county governments were involved in the project impact and social-economic survey. On various occasions during meetings, interviews, focus group discussions, public consultation workshops, and community consultation meetings, local representatives and affected persons participated in the planning and their concerns have been integrated into the resettlement plan. 12 consultation meetings with the 285 APs were held at the village committee office from November 2011 to October 2012. Before implementation, the PMOs, implementing units and village leaders will further discuss and consult with the affected persons’ representatives to ensure affected persons’ interests are protected and to provide employment opportunities for the affected persons’ livelihoods as a result of project implementation. County governments will disclose the resettlement plans in community and village offices. The resettlement plans will also be posted on ADB’s website and resettlement information booklets will be distributed to affected households by February 2013. The information booklet contains the resettlement scope, project schedule, compensation rates for land and other assets, relocation and economic rehabilitation strategies, and grievance redress mechanisms.

4. When grievances arise, the affected persons may submit an oral or written complaint first to the village committee. If the village committee can not solve the issue, it can be taken to the township government. If the grievance is still unresolved, they can seek redress at the county land administration bureau. A response to the appeal must be made within 2 weeks. If any affected person is not satisfied with the response or if the complaint is of a serious nature, the Chongqing PMO will try to solve the problem. Alternatively, the APs may file an action in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC at any time irrespective of the use and progress of the GRM process.

D. Policy and Legal Framework

5. Compensation for permanent land loss is based on the Land Administration Law of PRC (2004) and the State Council Decision to Deepen Reform and Strictly Enforce Land Administration (Document 28 dated November 2004) and Regulation on Land Administration in Chongqing, the circular from the People's Government of Chongqing Municipality on Issues Regarding adjusting the Policy of Land acquisition Compensation and Resettlement (YFF

2

[2008] 45) and Notification of Fuling District Government on Adjusting Matters Concerning Policies of Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition and House Demolition (FU FU FA [2008] No.138 Document). These policies provided essential guidelines for resettlement plan preparation. The resettlement plans comply with PRC laws and regulations of resettlement and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). The resettlement principles established for the project are: (i) land acquisition and involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized where feasible by developing and comparing design alternatives; (ii) compensation and entitlements provided are based on replacement costs and must be adequate to allow those affected to at least maintain their pre-project standard of living, with the prospect of improvement; (iii) the land temporarily occupied and the period of disruption are to be minimized; (iv) all affected persons, legal and illegal, are to be considered and accounted for; (v) the per capita landholding after land acquisition should be sufficient to maintain previous livelihood standards; (vi) where land allocation per capita is not sufficient to maintain previous livelihood standards, other income-generating activities will be provided for; (vii) a preferential policy will be provided to vulnerable groups in such things as compensation, creation of special funds, minimum living guarantees, and employment; (viii) all affected persons will be adequately informed about eligibility, compensation rates and standards, livelihood and income restoration plans, and project timing; (ix) displacement will not occur until after full compensation has been paid and other entitlements provided; (x) the resettlement budget shall be enough to cover all impacts that are caused by project construction; and (xi) close monitoring and timely actions will be conducted to identify and resolve any problems.

E. Resettlement and Income Restoration

6. Land acquisition and house demolition compensation rates will be implemented pursuant to the Notice of Chongqing Municipal Government on Adjusting Matters Concerning Compensation and Resettlement Policies for Land Acquisition (YU FU FA [2008] No. 45 Document) and ADB’s involuntary resettlement policy. The land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy which is 35 times of the AAOV will be paid to village collectives, which will be used for developing the collective economy and making arrangement for production and livehood of members of the collective economic organization. Each village will discuss and decide way of using compensation funds by holding villagers’ meetings. Replacement land with same quality will be provided to the affected farmers. Income restoration measures include: providing job opportunities in the stage of project construction and operation; developing commerical crops with high economic value; promoting and developing the secondary and tertiary industries; providing technical training of the affected people so as to enhance their skills, etc. For rural housing demolition, cash compensation will be paid based on replacement cost and agreed between the demolisher and displaced persons on this basis after a field appraisal by a real estate appraisal and surveying company. And the house plots will be provided by the villages.

F. Resettlement Budget

7. Total cost for resettlement of this project is RMB 7.15 million. The resettlement fund comes from Fuling District’s governemnt.

G. Organization and Implementation Plan

8. Project implementation agency is Fuling District Land Resources Bureau, which is liable for specific implementation of resettlement of this project, including preparation and coordination in early stage of preparing resettlement report, resettlement work in the process of the project execution and monitoring, and evaluation in the later stage of the project implementation, etc. In all affected towns/townships and village committees, specially-assigned persons will be dispatched to perform coordination of resettlement. All compensation will be paid to affected households and villages prior to commencement of construction activities. Land acquisition and house demolition will commence from June 2013.

3

H. Monitoring and Evaluation

9. Monitoring-evaluation (M&E) comprises internal monitoring and external monitoring, where, internal monitoring insures that all responsible departments strictly perform implementation pursuant to the principle of resettlement plan and schedule. And external M&E is to be performed regularly and independently by an external monitoring agency, which will regularly report to Chongqing Project Office, and propose recommendations for solving problems arising in the process of the resettlement so that activities of the resettlement will be carried out smoothly.

2 Project Impact

2.1 Overview of Project Impact

1. According to the FSR, The project needs to permanently occupy and expropriate rural collective land of 257 mu, including 47.3 mu of arable land and 209.7 mu uncultivated land, producing an impact on Fuling Ditrict’s 10 village groups in 6 villages of 2 townships, a total of 357 people in 96 households. It will temporarily occupy an area of 72.5 mu, of which, cultivated land is 10.5 mu, and uncultivated land 62 mu, affecting Fuling Ditrict’s 2 townships and 6 villages, a total of 148 people in 38 households. Rural residential houses with area of 770 m² are to be demolished, which include 625 m² brick-concrete structure and 145 m² earthen wall structure housing, influencing a total of 21 people in 5 households located in 2 villager groups of 2 villages. It has an impact on totally 368 people in 99 households.

2.2 Project Impact

2.2.1 Permanent Land Acquisition

2. The project will acquire 257 mu rural collective land, including 47.3 mu of cultivated land and 209.7 mu uncultivated land, producing an impact on Fuling District’s 2 townships, involved with 10 village groups of 6 villages, a total of 357 people in 96 households. Details of permanent land acquisition and its influence are shown as Table 2-1. 3. Some forest land in the village was allocated to the farmers to protect the forest. But, the farmers are not allowed to sell the trees. Land acquisition will not affect the farmer’s income. After forest land acquisition, the village will allocate the same area to them.

4. No income loss is involved in the affected wasteland of this project, so only impact analysis of cultivated land loss is made here. In this project, 58 households are to be affected by the cultivated land, of which 21 households (36%) will lose less than 10% of the cultivated land, 34 households (59%) will lose 11%-20% of the cultivated land, and 3 households (12%) will lose 21%-30% of the cultivated land. According to the socioeconomic survey data,

8

agricultural income accounts for 17% of the household income so a 60% land loss would be required to cause a household to lose 10% of its income. For affected 58 households, their family income loss is less than 10%. For detailed analysis of the ratio of cultivated land and income loss, see Table 2-2.

7. Most houses to be demolished have been built for over 10 years, and because they

were built in relatively early period, some brick-concrete houses are of merely simple

brick-concrete structure. For typical situation of house demolition, see Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1: Rural Residential Houses to be Demolished

8. Although some houses to be demolished are located along the road, none of the 5

affected households are using these houses to do small business, so the demolition will not

have a direct impact on their family income. In the meantime, among 5 households, 1

household (Luo Zhonggui of Yingxin Village) will only have their attached houses demolished,

and the main residential houses will not be affected by the project. Accordingly, only 4

households need to be relocated.

2.2.4 Affected Vulnerable Groups

9. Vulnerable groups primarily refer to (i) the poor persons who are receiving the subsidy

of minimum living standard (in 2011, the minimum living standard in Fuling District is RMB

2,000 per person per year), (ii) households enjoying 5 guarantees1, (iii) the disabled, and (iv)

women headed households. A survey on the project impact conducted in November 2011

showed totally 13 people of 3 households are vulnerable, all due to low income level.

20. The affected area is rich in cultivated land resource, where, per capita cultivated land is all over 1 mu, where, the least one, 1.1 mu/person, is No.2 villager group of Jiaoshi town’s Dongquan village, and the most one, 3.2 mu/person, is No.2 villager group of Damu town’s Yingxin village.

3.4.8 Main Economic Activities

21. According to interviews with leading officials of the village committees and sample door-to-door survey, it is learnt that in the economic structure of the project area source of family income is primarily divided into agricultural income and non-agricultural income. As migrant work is common, income of the migrant workers constitutes an important part of the family income in local agricultural households.

(i) Agricultural income: main crops planted by farmers in the project area comprise corn, potatoe, sweet potatoe and vegetables, etc, and these farm produces are mostly for self-eating and livestock purposes, with a few for sale; breeding livestock includes pig, ox, sheep, poultry and fish. In addition to the traditional farming, they also plant sporadic commercial crops such as tobacco, cotton, pickled mustard tuber, mushroom and Chinese herbal medicine, and this part of economic crops are primarily for sale. Results of the survey show average annual output value of the land in the project area is around RMB1,100 /mu.

(ii) Non-agricultural income: As the project area is rather far from city proper of Fuling District, with restriction of traffic conditions, farming income here is comparatively low. So, in the economic structure of the project area, phenomenon of being a migrant worker is popular, and income of migrant workers becomes an important part of income of local agricultural households, making up some 70% of their total family income. Migrant workers going out from home are essentially engaged in jobs of services and engineering industry, including catering, retail, drivers of engineering machinery, etc., most belong to the jobs with low technical content. Places of these migrant workers primarily include Qinghai and Guangdong Provinces and Xinjiang Autonomous Region. In addition, working as local casual laborers, normaly as mason and carpenter, is also popular, where, one can averagely earn RMB150 per day, working in some 20 days monthly.

21

3.4.9 Gender Analysis

22. During the socioeconomic survey, survey was conducted on income of women in the household income. Income of the women in the project area mainly comes from their being engaged in farm work and serving as migrant workers. Among 42 women laborers, about 40% go out as migrant workers in the downtown of Fuling County, primarily engaged in services like catering and housekeeping; 60% of women are famers at home who take care of the aged and children. For situation of women employment distribuiton in the project area, see Table 3-9. Women’s contribution to household income is generally less than men’s. Women’s contribution to HH income is less than 40%.

4 Public Participation and Appeal Mechanism

4.1 Strategy of Public Participation

1. According to the policies and regulations of ADB, the PRC and Chongqing Municipality on land use, house demolition and resettlement, it is very necessary to conduct public participation at the preparation and implementation stages in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the APs, reduce grievances and disputes, and realize the resettlement objectives properly by developing sound policies and implementation rules on displacement and resettlement, preparing an effective RP, and organizing implementation properly.

2. In combination with actual situation of this project, "Three-Stage" strategy is taken for public participation.

3. Stage 1: In the stage of making feasibility study and drawing up resettlement report, the stakeholders were consulted to allow them to be aware of the resettlement issues so as to provide an early-stage basis for late stage design and implementation. In particular, more importance was attached to the consultation in the area where the project is located. Information introduction was made to the people living in the project area, allowing them to understand the demands and intent of the persons potentially affected by the project. The impact which is probably posed by the project was discussed to make proposals for the design of optimized project, compensation rates and policies as well as possible solutions and measures. The work of this stage had been completed before the completion of this RP. And "Resettlement Information Booklet" has been distributed to the affected households before MRM, with basic information on the project, project impact, compensation policies, resettlement solutions and appeal channels, etc.

4. Stage 2: Before the commenment of land acquisition and house demolition, meetings with all affected people will be held to listen to the opinions of various sides on compensattion and resettlement. And the updated RP based on final design and DMS will be disclosed to the APs.

5. Stage 3: During project construction and operation, surveys and interviews will be regularly held in the affected area to see if relevant compensation for the affected people is put in place and their production and livehood are restored.

4.1.1 Completed Public Participation Activities

6. These public participation activities were carried out through various forms, including community meetings, discussion with the owners and survey by door-to-door visit, etc.

(i) Community meetings: Before starting work by the field survey team of the project, the survey team leader made publicity of this project to the affected perspns, residents of villages and groups who attended the meetings, including the project background information, project content, necessity of implementation of the project, possible impact posed by the project, compensation policies and resettlement programs to be undertaken. The participants also comprised representatives of the affected villagers, women, project implementing agency, township governments, villages and cooperatives.

(ii) Holding face to face discussion with APs to explain the project impact on his/her house and property etc.

(iii) Household socio-economic questionnaire survey: to learn the socioeconomic profile of the subproject area, and the APs’ comments and opinions. The survey team conducted a door-to-door questionnaire survey in November 2011 and April 2012. During the survey, the information, impacts and resettlement

23

policies of the Subproject were explained, and the sample AHs were consulted about ideas for compensation and resettlement, livelihood restoration, their comments and suggestions form the the basis for RP preparation..

(iv) Panel discussion with cadres of the villages and cooperatives: Panel discussion was held with village heads, village CPC Secretaries and accountants to get an idea of the overall socioeconomic information of the rural collective, site selection of homestead for self-building, expectations and demands of villages’ and cooperative cadres towards the project, opionions and suggestions on the land compensation and resettlement policy, and sharing of the related experience.

(v) Interviews with the government: Through meeting with Fuling District Development & Reform Commission, Land Resources Bureau, Employment Bureau, Labor and Social Insurance Bureau and Bureau of Statistics, the project survey team has obtained the data and information and resettlement policy in relation to this project;, the team has collected the opinions and suggestions of the relevant departments on implementation of this project.

7. To know about impact of the project and socioeconomic situation of the affected people, the project management office, pursuant to requirements of ADB, solicited for many times the proposals and opinions of the Municipal and District Governments, the District Committee of the National People's Congresses, Political Consultative Conferences, mass organizations, residents of the areas affected by the project and village committees involved with land acquisition and house-demolition while making feasibility study in the preparation stage of the project. In the meantime, the project IA and design agency organized a specialized socioeconomic survey team to make a detailed survey on the affected families and rural collective economic organizations in the scope affected by the project. During socioeconomic survey, affected households were surveyed one by one to know their willingness of resettlement and attitude to the project. The comprehensive survey has laid foundation for laying out a resettlement plan.

8. Public participation activities of this project which have been carried out are as follows:

9. With implementation of a lot of public participation activities, the opinions and demands of the affected households were collected, the local government and relevant departments have formulated some measures to address the people’s concerns. These measures have been incorporated into the resettlement plan. For details, see table 4-2.

Table 4- 2: People’s Concerns and Solution Measures No. Main Concerns and Views Solution Measurs

1 APs prefer agricultural resettlement, not requiring a change from ―agricultural to non-agicultural‖ household registration due to the very limited land acquisition.

All land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be paid to the collective economic organizations, used to develop the collective economy and make an arrangement for production and livehood of the members of these collective economic organizations, and then the village collective readjusts the land for the persons whose land have been acquired, here, the way of rural residents becoming urban residents is not adopted for the affected household. If the village can’t provide reserved land, the resettlement subsidy will be distributed to APs directly.

2 APs prefer to be provided with homestead for self-building houses

There are few people to be relocated in villages, and they are living in a scattered way. Such being the case, each village can provide homesteads to the relocatees for self-building their houses

3 APs prefer to be provided with training of agricultural and non-agricultural skills

Labor department and Women’s Federations, etc. offer the affected persons training of planting, breeding and non-agricultural industry in allusion to specific conditions of the project region.

4 Aps expect to get replacement land as the old people are farming on the land and the minor land acquisition will contribute litte cash compensation.

Each village will allocate the village collective’s reserved land to the affected households according to status of their land-loss.

4.2 Appeal Mechanism

11. To ensure that opinions of the affected people on such issues as land occupancy, compensation and personnel resettlement can be solved in an open and fast way to avoid personnel affected by the project to be forced to resort to adopt complex formal channels to express their dissatisfaction or complaint, the project owner has established handling procedures involved with appeal of the project, with specific steps as follows:

12. Step 1: In case the affected persons or village committees have any objection to the land compensation resettlement plan, they can propose an oral or written appeal to the township government. If they file their appeal orally, it is required to be addressed by the township government with a written record. The township government shall make a disposition within one week;

13. Step 2: In case the affected persons are still unsatisfied with the disposition in Stage 1, they can still appeal to Fuling District Land Resources Bureau or the Resettlement Office in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of Chongqing, the Land Resources Bureau or the Resettlement Office shall make a disposition within 10 days;

14. Step 3: In case the affected persons remain unsatisfactory with the disposition in Stage 2, they can lodge an appeal to Fuling District Project Management Office after receiving the disposition, and the District Project Office shall make a disposition within one week;

15. APs can decide to go through the legal system directly and may decide not to use the project level grievance channels.

16. APs can file a lawsuit aiming at any aspect of the resettlement, including compensation rates etc. The above channel of appeal will be notified to APs by way of meeting and RIB so that the APs can get a full awareness of their right to appeal. At the same time, the media will be utilized to strengthen publicity, and the opinions and proposals of various aspects on the work of resttlement will be solidified into information provisions, which shall be studied timely and solved by the resettlement agencies at all levels. All these agencies shall receive complaints and appeals from the affected people free of charge, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom will be paid out from unforeseeable fee of migration resettlement. For channel of appeal, see Figure 4-1, and ways of contacting persons responsible for appeal channels in all stages are shown in Table 4-5.

17. The aggrieved person may also express grievance to the external monitor, who would then report it to FDLRB, the IA, and the PMO. Alternatively, the aggrieved person(s) may submit a complaint to the ADB’s Project Team to try to resolve the problem. If good faith efforts are still unsuccessful, and if there are grievances that stemmed from a violation of ADB's safeguard policy, the APs may appeal directly to ADB in accordance with ADB's Accountability Mechanism (2012).3

3 Before submitting a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, the affected people should make a good faith

effort to solve their problems by working with the concerned ADB operations department. Only after doing that, and if they are still dissatisfied, should they approach the Accountability Mechanism - http://www.adb.org/Accountability-Mechanism/default.asp/.

5 Legal Framework and Resettlement Policies

5.1 Pinciple of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

1. The first goal of this RP is to ensure income of the affected people can be restored to enhance their standard of living and reduce social and environmental impact. The following is the summary principles used for land occupancy and resettlement. Purpose of these principles about compensation, resettlement and restoration is that during period of resettlement, the affected individuals can be given adequate compensation to restore and enhance their living standard.

(i) The compensation and rights received by the affected persons can at least maintain their living standards as same as prior to dispossession of assets, and may probably be improved accordingly;

(ii) Take measures as far as possible to minimize negative impact of the land acquisition;

(iii) Conduct serious consultation with the affected people in terms of land compensation and resettlement so that they have a chance to comprehensively participate in the planning and implementation of the compensation and resettlement program;

(iv) All the affected property will be compensated by full replacement cost; (v) Try to take the principle of building first and demolishing later or to making

compensation first and demolishing later. Displacement will not occur until after full compensation has been paid and other entitlements provided;

(vi) Show concern for the vulnerable groups, trying to lay out special measures to protect the vulnerable groups such that situation of their livehood will not get worse because of land occupancy .

5.2 Applied Laws and Regulations

2. The land compensation policy of this project is finalized after full consultation with the land resouces bureau, labor and social security bureau, the affected towns and representatives of the affected households, with basis for formulating the policy as follows:

(i) Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China (August 28, 2004, Revised Edition), and related laws and regulations;

(ii) The Organic Law of the Villagers Committee of the People’s Republic of China, November 4, 1998;

(iii) Land Management Regulations of Chongqing (Chongqing Municipal Government Order No. 53), January1,1999;

(iv) Land Acquisition Compensation and Resettlement Methods of Chongqing (Municipal Government Order No.55, January 1, 1999;

(v) Notice of Chongqing Municipal Government on Adjusting Matters Concerning Compensation and Resettlement Policies for Land Acquisition (YU FU FA [2008] No.45 Document);

(vi) Notification of Fuling District Government on Adjusting Matters Concerning Policies of Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition and House Demolition (FU FU FA [2008] No.138 Document); and

(vii) Asian Development Bank Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) Safeguard Requirements 2: Involuntary Resettlement.

5.3 ADB’s Policy Requirements on Involuntary Resettlement

3. ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement has three key elements for involuntary resettlement: (i) compensation for lost properties, livelihoods and income; (ii) assistance in resettlement, including the provision of a resettlement site, and appropriate facilities and

30

services; and (iii) assistance for restoration, as a minimum, to the standard of living before the project. Planning and implementation should take into account the following basic principles:

(i) Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks.

(ii) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernmental organizations. Informally displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase.

(iii) Improve or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible.

(iv) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required.

(v) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.

(vi) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.

(vii) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets.

(viii) Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule.

(ix) Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other

31

stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders.

(x) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of the project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation.

(xi) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic relocation. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation.

(xii) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports.

5.4 Policy Gaps

4. The CMG Order No. 55 documents were in effective on 1 January 1999 following the Regulations on the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of PRC (1998), which stipulated detailed compensation and resettlement measures including the disbursement channels of compensation for land loss—exactly refer to the Article No.26 of the above mentioned PRC regulations. In addition, No. 55 document also stipulated the organizational arrangement for the implementation and management of land acquisition and resettlement.

5. However, this document was annulled by a latest CMG [2008] No.45 document which paid more attention on the APs who will be urbanized after land loss. 80% of the land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be only benefited by the APs who will be urbanized after land loss. With updated compensation rates in the latest document, there is no detailed description on the compensation and resettlement of non-urbanized APs after land loss. The entitlements received by the APs will be different depend on if they will change to urban households registration. Under this policy: (i) The rate of land compensation fee is based on the region where it is located and it’s the same for all types of land. (ii) Resettlement subsidy is calculated based on number of the agricultural population that needs to be resettled for the production resettlement. The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition.

6. Considering the incompleteness of each of the two documents—outdated compensation rates in Document No. 55 and the silence on non-urbanized APs after land loss, full consultation with the affected villagers and land resource bureasu were conducted to fill these policy gaps. Due to the impacts on the farmers are limited and the land to be acquired is scattered, affected farmers will not be changed to urban households based on consultations. Land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be paid to the village committees if the village can provide reserved land to the APs and the compensation for standing cops will be paid to the APs directly. All APs can receive the same entitlements after land acquisition. Endorsement letter from FDLRB and affected village groups on land using is presented as appendix 4.

5.5 Compenstation Rates

5.5.1 Compensation Rates of Permanent Land Acquisition

7. The compensation for land includes land compensation fee, resettlement subsidy and compensation for standing crops. Related compensation rates are shown in Table 5-1.

Young Crops Compensation rates (yuan/mu)

According to the survey, in the project area, average annual output value (AAOV) of the cultivated land in previous 3 years was RMB 1,100/mu, the rate of land compensation fee is 11 times of the AAOV. According to Chongqing policy, Resettlement subsidy is calculated based on number of the agricultural population that needs to be resettled for the production resettlement. The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition. The mathematical calculation is presented in table 5-2. The amount/unit rate of resettlement subsidy for cultivable land is calculated on the basis of number of times of AAOV and per mu (which is 23.6 times the average annual output value of the land) while the distribution of the resettlement subsidy as per regulation is per urbanized person. In this subproject APs did not opt to be urbanized so the total amount land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy will be paid to the village collective and the compensation for standing crops will be paid to the affected households. Totally, the land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy is 35 times of the AAOV in the past 3 years.

5.5.2 Compensation Rates of Temporary Land Occupation

9. Temporary land occupation will be about 6 months and the IA will be responsible for restore the land. The compensation will be RMB1,540/mu for vegetables (including commerical crops) and RMB1,210/mu for grains. According to the survey, in the project area, average annual output value (AAOV) of the cultivated land in previous 3 years was RMB 1,100/mu, and for vegetables5 was RMB 1300/mu, and the compensation is higher.

5.5.3 Compensation Rates of Rural Houses

10. The compensation rates for house demolition have been fixed by reference to the construction costs of similar local housing in 2012, which reflect the replacement cost; the final rates will be agreed between the demolisher and displaced persons on this basis after a field appraisal by a real estate appraisal and surveying company. Detailed compensation rates of the involved housing demolition are shown in Table 5-3.

6 Resettlement Measures

6.1 Objectives and Principles

1. According to evaluation on project impact in this stage and survey results of the production and livehood situation of the affected residents, analysis has been made to identify goals of land acquisition compensation and resettlement as follows:

Allow per capita net income of the affected households to be restored to the level before resettlement;

Enable production and living conditions of the affected households to be improved;

Allow public infrastructure, school, hospital, level of social welfare and natural environment, etc. to be as same as that before the resettlement or somewhat improved in comparison with that before the resettlement, and enrollment rate of school-age children and basic medical coverage maintain the original level.

6.2 Plan of Income Restoration

6.2.1 Provision of Replacement Land

2. For the 58 HHs that will loose cultivated land, the per capita cultivated land loss is 0.2 mu, and per capita cultivated land holding in the project affetced villages is over 1 mu. Consultations with the APs indicate that most of the perople farming on the land is the older people and women, so they prefer to have land. Also cash compensation for such minor land acquisition can’t bring a lot of money. After the land acquisition, each village will allocate the village’s collective reserved land to them. During recent years, as Chongqing is implementing the Chongqing Urban-rural Balanced Development and Reform and the urbanization rate of Fuling is 60%. Some rural villagers return their land to the villages and change to urban household registration, so the villages have some reserved land, as shown in table 6-1. Location and conditions of the newly-allocated land will not be worse than that of the original land. So that the production level and living standard of the personnel affected by land loss would not be decreased. By providing the replacement land, the per capita land holding of the AHs will be the same as before, consequently it won't bring impacts on their income.

6.2.2 Utilization of Compensation of Villages

3. Land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy will be paid to the village collectives, For this part of the compensation, villager meetings will be held to discuss the way of using such funds. Some village collectives plan to use this compensation fund for improvement of village’s infrastructures such as building village roads that connect the trunk highway, improving irrigation facilities and rebuilding old-dangerous houses in schools. In addition, some villages will, in line with local conditions, use such compensation to develop agriculture and animal breeding, for instance, making an investment in establishment of pig-producing cooperatives, which will attract local villagers to be employed. Fuling district is famous for development of farmer’s cooperatives in Chongqing. The village will utilize the fund to buy piglets and the villagers raise them, and the cooperative will provide skill training, animal epidemic prevention and sell all the pigs. Fodder is purchased by the cooperative in order to reduce the cost. This can make a contribution of 10,000 yuan to each household. Fuling already have some good practices, and these affected villages lack of fund.

4. Preliminary plans to use the compensation are listed in Table 6-2. Consultations with the villagers verify that they all think the compensation will bring benefits to the villages and improve the facilities of the community.

6.2.3 Skill Training of Affected Persons

5. Results of questionnaire sample survey show among 82 persons of working age, more than half of them expressed their willingness of attending training of labor skills. In order to enhance level of production and livehood of the affected persons, the government will make an arrangement for special training courses of skills, including training for agricultural and non-agricultural industries, to encourage participation of the affected farmers so as to help them in broadening the way of increasing income. In addition to local government agencies’

39

routine training opportunities, this RP sets an 60,000 CNY fund to for APs for both non-farm and farm skill training. Table 6-2 presents the training plan and schedule.

(i) Agricultural training: Fuling District Agriculture Bureau takes the lead to organize agriculture technical school to deliver training courses including cultivation, breeding, processing of agricultural products, development of agricultural industry, such as training of techniques for mustard planting, pig breeding and crop pest control, etc. All training programs are to be provided free of charge, villagers can attend as they like.

(ii) Non-agricultural training: Fuling District Employment Bureau collaborates with several vocational training schools which undertake task of vocational training to gradually perform completely covered training of the personnel who are willing to do it. In terms of training content, job posts with relatively great social demand are the key points so that the trained personnel meet demand of human resources market. Training contents primarily cover computer training, cook training, etc. Free training service is the main part of such training. If training course requires a fee, the Employment Bureau will provide subsidy for such training. Some vocational training schools specially allocate personnel and equipment to conduct training in each village, thus people living in the project-involved regions are able to learn practical technology without going out of their houses. For the qualified personnel after training, the Employment Bureau and the training schools will conduct a series of activities for employment recommendation, and make every endeavor to solve employment of these personnel through various ways such as positive recommendation to related enterprises, holding special job fairs and organizing the trainees to participate in some large-scale career fairs.

6.2.4 Employment Driven by the Project

6. During the project construction and operation and maintenance of later stage, the project will give priority to employment of the farmers affected by the project, and these farmers can be temporary workers of the project works. This will create some employment opportunities for local people in order to help increase their income. It is estimated that during the construction period, about 300 temporary workers are needed and contractors will try to hire more local villagers, which wll account for at least over 30%. Meanwhile, for the job opportunities provided to the local, 30% will be reserved for women.

6.3 Relocation Program of Rural House Demolition

7. Survey on the AHs show all 4 households need to be relocated will choose the way of self-building houses. The standard of the allocated homestead plot is 30 m2 per capita, at least 90 m2 for each household, with maximum of 120 m2. From table 2-4, for those 4 HHs and 19

40

persons, the total housing plots is 420 m2 and the per capita is 24 m2. Averagely, the standard of 30 m2 is higher than before.

8. Before house demolition, the specific location of the homestead will be determined by the village collective after consultation with the AHs. Conditions of the location of the newly-allocated homestead will not be inferior to that of the original housing section. As the AHs are scattered, field survey shows all the villages can provide leveled homestead for them. The AHs will still live in the same community.

9. For instance, a household with 4 family members originally have 200m2 brick-concrete structure houses. With demolition of their houses, they will obtain housing compensation of 200 * 459 =RMB91,800. Other compensation comprises RMB3600 of transition, RMB600 as house moving subsidy, RMB2,500 as relocation subsidy, and compensation for house attachment and decoration, so total compensation fee will exceed RMB100,000. Materials recycled from the old houses can be used for building new houses. All 3 AHs believe that the house demoliton this time is a chance for them to improve their living conditions.

10. During 3-4 months transition period, villagers usually live in their relatives’ or friends’ houses, and they don’t need to pay. If they rent house in the village, the cost will be 500 yuan/month, and the transition subsidy is 600 yuan for 6 months, and it’s sufficient.

6.4 Resettlement of Vulnerable Groups

11. House demolition will affect 3 poor households, and 2 HHs need to be relocated while another 1 HH only have non-residential house demolition. By now, these 3 HHs are receiving the minimum living subsidy from the government. Special assistance will be provided to them, including: (i) the communities and villages will provide necessary assistances before, during and after relocation, including free labor to construct new housing and moving house; (ii) they can have the priorities to select the location of the housing plots; (iii) the unskilled job opportunities will be provided to them during construction and maintenance.

6.5 Temporary Land Occupation

12. For the arable land temporarily occupied by the project, compensation will be given to the affected HHs at RMB1,540/mu for vegetables (including commerical crops), and RMB1,210/mu for grains, which is higher than the AAOV. Before implementation of the project, the IA is required to discuss and identify a compensation scheme and sign a temporary land acquisition agreement with each village committee. Representatives of the affected households are required to sign agreement on the temporary land occupancy which is then signed and confirmed by the village committee, and finally submitted to Fuling District Land Resources Bureau for approval and filing records. The IA can use the land only after the approval-reply for the temporary land acquisition is issued. Period of temporarily expropriating land shall not exceed two years. When the project is completed, the IA is responsible for restoring original function of the land.

6.6 Restoration of Affected Ground Attachments

13. Ground attachments affected by permanent land acquisition of the project primarily comprise young crops, ground structures and some specialized infrastructures. The project owner will provide compensation rates for the affected young crops based on unified rates stipulated in FULING FU FA [2008] No.138 Document, namely, RMB1,540/mu for vegetables (including commerical crops), and RMB1,210/mu for grains. In terms of facilities such as electricity poles and wires, the owner will give compensation following the determined compensation rates.

14. For the 10 graves affected by the project, the resettlement implementing agency will issue a Notice of Matters on Grave Relocation in advance before land acquisition, and pay grave-relocation compensation to the grave relocation households at rate of RMB400/tomb. The village collectives will provide new land freely to relocate the graves, and the new land is

41

still within the village and near the old location. The compensation is suffiient to build new tombs. Local custom of grave relocation here is identical to that of other places without special precautions, primarily on selection of a grave-relocation date according to Chinese FengShui (a kind of geomancy).

D. Appeal Mechanism

4. To ensure that opinions of the affected people on such issues as land occupancy, compensation and personnel resettlement can be solved in an open and fast way to avoid personnel affected by the project to be forced to resort to adopt complex formal channels to express their dissatisfaction or complaint, the project owner has established handling procedures involved with appeal of the project, with specific steps as follows:

5. Step 1: In case the affected persons or village committees have any objection to the land compensation resettlement plan, they can propose an oral or written appeal to the township government. If they file their appeal orally, it is required to be addressed by the township government with a written record. The township government shall make a disposition within one week;

6. Step 2: In case the affected persons are still unsatisfied with the disposition in Stage 1, they can still appeal to Fuling District Land Resources Bureau or the Resettlement Office in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of Chongqing, the Land Resources Bureau or

the Resettlement Office shall make a disposition within 10 days;；

7. Step 3: In case the affected persons remain unsatisfactory with the disposition in Stage 2, they can lodge an appeal to Fuling District Project Management Office after receiving the disposition, and the District Project Office shall make a disposition within one week;

63

8. Step 4: In case the affected people are still not satisfied with disposition in Stage 3, they can appeal to relevant government authorities including the District Law Department, District Disciplinary Inspection Department and District Petition Letter Department, etc. APs can also directly appeal to the government departments without going through the previous-stated 3 stages.

9. APs can decide to go through the legal system directly and may decide not to use the project level grievance channels.

10. APs can file a lawsuit aiming at any aspect of the resettlement, including compensation rates etc. The above channel of appeal will be notified to APs by way of meeting and RIB so that the APs can get a full awareness of their right to appeal. At the same time, the media will be utilized to strengthen publicity, and the opinions and proposals of various aspects on the work of resttlement will be solidified into information provisions, which shall be studied timely and solved by the resettlement agencies at all levels. All these agencies shall receive complaints and appeals from the affected people free of charge, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom will be paid out from unforeseeable fee of migration resettlement. Ways of contacting persons responsible for appeal channels in all stages are shown in Table 5.

11. The aggrieved person may also express grievance to the external monitor, who would then report it to FDLRB, the IA, and the PMO. Alternatively, the aggrieved person(s) may submit a complaint to the ADB’s Project Team to try to resolve the problem. If good faith efforts are still unsuccessful, and if there are grievances that stemmed from a violation of ADB's safeguard policy, the APs may appeal directly to ADB in accordance with ADB's Accountability Mechanism (2012).8

8 Before submitting a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, the affected people should make a good faith effort to solve

their problems by working with the concerned ADB operations department. Only after doing that, and if they are still

dissatisfied, should they approach the Accountability Mechanism - http://compliance.adb.org/.

E. Income Restoration and Relocation

12. After the land is acquired, each village will allocate the village’s collective reserved land to them. Location and conditions of the newly-allocated land will not be worse than that of the original land. If there is no land with compartively good condition, the village collective will appropriately adjust and allocate more area of land to them so that the production level and living standard of the personnel affected by land loss would not be decreased. By providing the replacement land, the land holding of the AHs will not be changed, consequently it won't bring impacts on their income.

13. The standard of the allocated homestead is 30 m2 per capita, at least 90 m2 for each household, with maximum of 120 m2. Before house demolition, the specific location of the homestead will be determined by the village collective after consultation with the AHs. Conditions of the location of the newly-allocated homestead shall not be inferior to that of the original housing section. As the AHs are scattered, field survey shows all the villages can provide homestead for them. The AHs will still live in the same community.
