1. M&E Tasks and The Implementation ADB-funded Hunan Flood Management Sector Project started to implement in January 2007. ADB and the PPMO of the Project jointly decided that the M&E work of 19 subprojects would be undertaken by Changsha Xinghuan Water & Electricity Engineering Technology Development Co.,( CXWEETD) including 8 core subprojects ( Loudi, Xinhua, Sangzhi, Wugang, Yongzhou, Leiyang, Huaihua and Chenxi) and 11 non-core subprojects ( Cili, Xiangtan, Xupu, Shimen, Jishou, Hengyang City, Hengyang County, Fenghuang, Baojing, Zhongfang and Luxi). The M&E started in early 2007 and the CXWEETD had submitted the No.1 and No.2 M&E reports to ADB and PPMO in November 2007 and in March 2008 respectively. So far, the 6 core subprojects have signed the contract with CXWEETD including Xinhua, Sangzhi, Loudi, Wugang, Huaihua and Yongzhou and the other two subprojects had been in the contract negotiation with CWWEETD; the 4 non-core subprojects have signed the contract with CXWEETD including Cili, Xiangtan, Xupu and Shimen while the other 7 non-core subprojects were still under the contract negotiation with CXWEETD. The No.3 M&E report mainly contains the physical and resettlement implementation progress of the relevant subprojects. The Report cover 9 subprojects including Xinhua, Sangzhi, Loudi, Wugang, Huaihua, Yongzhou, Cili, Xiangtan and Xupu, of which, Cili, Xiangtan and Xupu were included into the Report at first time and therefore the relevant baseline survey was conducted. Generally speaking, resettlement and house demolition were at initial stages and the amount of completed resettlement and house demolition was not large. Hence, the key focus of M&E were on resettlement institutions, the adopted resettlement policies and compensation standards, the progress made in land acquisition and house demolition, resettlement fund raising and disbursement, resettlement information disclosure, the existing problems etc. Based on the ADB requirements, a consolidate M&E report is required coving all the relevant subprojects rather than separate report for each subproject. 2. Project Overview 2.1 Project Scope Hunan Flood Management Sector Project covers 35 counties with severe flood impact. The project area consists of 8 municipalities including Zhuzhou, Hengyang, Youzhou, Loudi, Chengzhou, Shaoyang, Huaihua and one autonomy prefecture, Jishou and 27 counties located in the 12 municipalities. The 8 core subprojects are Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang, Sangzhi, Yongzhou, Leiyang, Huaihua and Chenxi. These subproject areas have comparatively developed economy. They are not only the county seat but also the local financial, communication, commercial and cultural center where a lot of agricultural, industrial and commercial activities concentrated. Although these cities have higher elevation above the sea with 4

undulating topography and little flood impact from Dongting Lake and Four Rivers, they are prone to suffer from flash floods. The flash floods have the characteristics of quite rapid rise and large flow, causing substantive localized damage. Therefore, the Hunan Flood Management Sector Project has the great significance. 2.2 Overview of Core Subprojects 2.2.1 The Engineering Overview According to the engineering scopes and the designed flood protection standards, the structural measures of 8 core subprojects include flood control works, water-logging works, dredging and flood control roads. The total investment of 8 core subprojects is RMB 1.337907 billion Yuan including RMB 198.9377 million Yuan for resettlement cost. After the structural measures completion, the flood protection standards in municipalities will be raised to 1 in 50 year return period and the water logging standard will be raised to 1 in 20 year return period; the flood project standards in counties will be raised to 1 in 20 year return period and the water logging standards will be raised to 1 in 10 year return period. The Project will substantively reduce the flood suffering and damage. The engineering scope of each core subproject refers to table 2.2-1. 2.2.2 The Resettlement Overview The scope of resettlement and land acquisition covers areas with land acquisition and areas where people s production and their lives are unfavorably affected. According to the resettlement plans of 8 core subprojects, the total temporary land acquisition is 2666.75mu; the total permanent land acquisition is 3997.98 mu; the total affected population is 3734 households with 15396 persons; the total relocated population is 976 households with 3691 persons and the demolished house areas are 155519.8m2. The resettlement impact summary of 8 core subprojects refer to Table 2.2-2~2.2-5.. 5

2.3 Non-core Subprojects 2.3.1 The Engineering Overview The 4 non-core subprojects comprised of the flood control works, the water logging works, the river course dredging and the flood control roads etc including Cili, Xiangtan, Xupu and Shimen Counties. The total investment of these 4 subprojects was 403.27 million CNY including 71.23 million CNY resettlement cost. After the subprojects completion, the flood control and waterlogging standards will be increased to 1/50 years and 1/20 years for cities while those will be improved to 1/20 years and 1/10 years at the county level. These will dramatically reduce the risks of flooding and water logging. The engineering characteristics of each subproject were shown in the following table2.3-1. Shimen subproject didn t start the resettlement yet. The other non-core subprojects like, Jishou and others didn t signed the service contract with the CXWEETD and therefore the external M&E didn t commence yet. 2.3.2 The Resettlement Overview According to Resettlement Plans (July 2008 version) for 3 subprojects, Cili, Xiangtan and Xupu, the temporary land acquisition will be 862.03mu and the permanent land acquisition will be 757.74mu in total for these three subprojects. There will be 557 households with 2302 persons affected; the house demolition will affect 243 households with 932 persons. There will be 40061.16m2 to be dismantled.

3. Establishment of Resettlement Organization and its Function 3.1 Resettlement Organization Operation In Core Subprojects The resettlement institutions and staffing have been reported in No.1 Report and No.2 Report for Loudi, Xinhua, Wugang,Sangzhi, Huaihua and Yongzhou. The focuses of No.3 report are on the commissioning of resettlement implementation agencies, the implementation procedures, the adopted measures, the internal monitoring, information management and resettlement work performance etc. (1) Loudi Commissioning of Resettlement Implementation Agency: on May 25 2006, Loudi Flood Control Work Construction Management Division signed the Agreement on Land Acquisition and House Demolition Contracting with Loudi Land Acquisition and House Demolition Office. Implementation Procedures: After signing agreements regarding land acquisition and house demolition, the relevant compensation will be delivered to the affected villages, village groups, and communities and then to the affected people. The Adopted Measures: the RIB was distributed; the survey results regarding land acquisition and the compensation standards were disclosed in the affected villages; the resettlement staffs in the PMO held workshops and groups meetings with affected communities many times to promote the resettlement policies and listen to their opinions. The Internal Monitoring: the internal monitoring mechanism was not well established and the internal monitoring report couldn t be submitted regularly. This area should be strengthened.
