PROJECT CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES A. CONTEXT AT APPRAISAL Context Located in southwest China, Guizhou Province is home to one of the largest ethnic minority populations in the country, with 49 different ethnic groups 1 constituting about 38% (14 million) of the total provincial population of 39.5 million. The minority villages possessed unique, centuries-old traditions reflected in their architecture and living traditions of song, dance, crafts, and festivals. Furthermore, Guizhou is richly endowed with natural resources including karst landscapes, gorges, rivers, rapids, caves, and fossils. Despite its rich cultural and natural resources, Guizhou faced challenges in development. Guizhou’s mountainous landscape, which covers over 90% of the total land area, resulted in isolation, constraining overall investments and development, particularly in rural areas. At appraisal, about 15% of Guizhou’s villages were inaccessible by road, average rural per capita income was only 27% of the province’s urban areas, and 57% of Guizhou’s administrative counties and cities were considered national- level poverty counties. Acknowledging the province’s resources and challenges, Guizhou’s 11th Five-Year Plan (FYP, 2005-2010) sought to increase the pace of tourism development, particularly rural tourism, to foster economic development and alleviate poverty. Based on the Tourism Development Master Plan for Guizhou (2002), which was prepared by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) with financial support from the World Bank, the Guizhou Provincial Government (GPG) formulated policies and plans to pursue sustainable tourism development and poverty alleviation through (i) development of tourism resources, (ii) protection of natural and cultural heritage, (iii) vocational and professional training, and (iv) promotion of domestic and foreign investments in the sector. Guizhou’s early tourism development efforts proved successful and tourism revenue grew steadily by over 30% for six consecutive years between 2000 and 2006, making tourism a pillar industry in the province. However, the rapid growth exposed weaknesses in tourism strategy implementation and presented challenges for conservation and sustainable development of its natural and cultural heritage assets. Many of Guizhou’s minority villages, ancient towns, and national parks lacked basic infrastructure such as roads, footpaths, water and power supply, sanitation, and solid waste management systems. While the central and provincial governments had well- articulated institutional and legislative frameworks to protect cultural and natural heritage, many of the laws and regulations were poorly understood, implemented, or managed at the local level. Furthermore, while the increase in tourists brought benefits to some specific segments of the population, overall benefits to the local and minority communities remained limited. Ethnic minorities remained disproportionately poor, with poverty trends often entrenched in remote mountainous areas. The lack of employment, business, and other income generating opportunities in traditional villages and ancient towns had resulted in migration of young people to nearby urban areas and provinces, leaving behind local populations of mostly women, children, and the elderly. In this context, Guizhou Province requested Bank assistance to protect cultural and natural heritage, develop basic infrastructure, and foster tourism development, which taken together enhance income generating opportunities, as a key means to economic development and poverty alleviation. The proposed project was aligned with China’s 11th 1At the time of appraisal, the Miao people formed the largest minority group with 4.3 million, followed by the Buyi at 2.8 million and the Dong at 1.6 million. Page 6 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) FYP (2005-2010) which placed high priority on improving cultural heritage preservation, as well as with the Bank’s Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) 2006-2010 which emphasized “Reducing Poverty, Inequality and Social Exclusion” and “Managing Resource Scarcity and Environmental Challenges” as priorities. Theory of Change (Results Chain) The Project’s theory of change (results chain) is illustrated below. The Project aimed to “increase economic benefits to local communities” through increased tourism and better protection of cultural and natural heritages. The direct beneficiaries, including residents of Project villages, would experience increased economic benefits through access to improved small scale infrastructure facilities in their villages and towns, rehabilitated traditional private houses, and/or trainings in special skills (traditional dancing, singing, handicrafts, etc.) or practical skills (tour guides, tourist services, hospitality business) which would prepare them to participate in income-generating opportunities. Indirect beneficiaries, including tourists and local government (LG) authorities, would experience economic benefits from improved tourism infrastructure (such as decreased travel times), increased commercial activities (such as more options for cultural activities, recreation, dining, and lodging), and increased LG revenues generated through increased tourism-related spending. Project activities such as the rehabilitation of historic buildings, construction of cultural and visitor centers, infrastructure improvements for tourism facilities, and capacity training for the tourism sector would improve Guizhou’s appeal as a tourist destination, thereby increasing the number of tourists travelling to, staying longer in, and spending more money in the region. Better protection of cultural and natural heritage, Page 7 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) achieved through Project activities such as the implementation of environmental protection measures and institutional capacity building, would allow Guizhou to increase tourism in a sustainable manner while also safeguarding its cultural and natural heritage (which are the tourism assets). While recognizing the Project’s objectives and design intentions, it is also important to note that it would be unrealistic to fully claim/attribute the “increased economic benefits to local communities” observed during the implementation years (measured by the increased average per capita income in Project minority villages) to Project activities. As the theory of change illustrates, there were external factors, including private sector investments and commercial developments, which contributed to the economic development in the region. The issues of attribution and causality are further discussed in the Efficacy section. Project Development Objectives (PDOs) As stated in the Project Appraisal Document (PAD) and Loan Agreement, the PDO was to assist Guizhou Province in increasing economic benefits to local communities (including, minority groups) through increased tourism and better protection of cultural and natural heritages. Key Expected Outcomes and Outcome Indicators The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) measured increases in the average per capital income in the 17 participating minority villages. The KPIs and Intermediate outcome indicators (IOIs) for the Original and Revised Results Framework (RF) are summarized below and detailed in Annex 1. Core sector indicators were added in the Revised RF (see “*”).

Component 1: Ethnic Minority Cultural Heritage Protection (Total Cost US$44.62 million at appraisal, US$49.97 million at completion) aimed at increasing employment and incomes of residents in 17 minority villages and four ancient towns in Qiandongnan and Qianxinan Prefectures and improving their basic living conditions, with special attention to the protection of their cultural heritage, through: (a) Construction of small scale infrastructure facilities to serve the villages and towns; (b) Rehabilitation and conservation of unique historic buildings and construction or establishment of cultural and visitor centers; (c) Rehabilitation and conservation of traditional private houses through a grant program; and (d) Carrying out of income generation activities that preserve and protect intangible cultural heritage though a grant program for provision of technical assistance (TA), training and goods. TA consisted of skills training; ethnic product promotion, marketing and sales; capacity building in community mobilization and formation of community organizations (Community Based Development (CBD)); and rehabilitation of historic buildings. Component 2: Natural Heritage and Scenic Site Protection and Development (US$21.35 million at appraisal, US$24.36 million at completion) to carry out physical investments to improve infrastructure and tourism facilities in: (a) Guanling National Geo-Park in Anshun Municipality; (b) Dingxiao National Geo-Park in Qianxinan Prefecture; (c) Wanfenglin National Scenic Park in Qianxinan Prefecture; and (d) Shanmu River Scenic Park in Qiandongnan Prefecture, including construction and/or rehabilitation of pedestrian roads, public toilets, water supply and sanitation facilities, signage, and tourist service centers, and implementation of measures for environmental and ecological protection of such parks. Component 3: Tourism Gateway Town Facilities Development (US$16.34 million at appraisal, US$19.07 million at completion) consisted of the following: (a) Construction of tourism information centers in selected counties in Qiandongnan Prefecture and provision of goods, TA and training to strengthen institutional capacity at the county level, to promote tourism; and (b) Construction of the Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development Center in Guiyang, which would conduct research on natural heritage and tangible and intangible cultural heritage; host performances and lectures; provide tourist information and services; develop and deliver trainings in rural tourism development, management, cultural awareness and conservation; and develop a tourist destination management website for tourist sites information and marketing. Component 4: Capacity Building and Project Implementation Support (US$1.81 million at appraisal, US$1.31 million at completion) consisted of the following: (a) Strengthening of institutional capacity and capability: (i) at the provincial level to manage, implement and monitor project activities; and (ii) at the village level, for conservation of traditional buildings and for facilitating community organization and village-level activities especially in grant programs for traditional private house rehabilitation and conservation and intangible heritage preservation, all through the provision of TA and trainings; (b) Strengthening of capacity and capability in the tourism sector: (i) at the county level through the provision of goods and TA to the Project Management Offices (PMOs); and (ii) at the provincial and local levels through provision of training for staff of Provincial PMO (PPMO), County PMOs (CPMOs), Project Implementation Units (PIUs), and provincial and LG tourism administrative units; and (c) (i) Reviewing and updating of the Guizhou Tourism Development Master Plan to align its strategies to current circumstances, including improved access to tourism sites to highways; and (ii) development of guidelines for the conservation of traditional buildings and environments in minority villages. Page 9 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) B. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES DURING IMPLEMENTATION (IF APPLICABLE) Revised PDOs and Outcome Targets The PDO was revised in a Restructuring Paper (RP) dated June 27, 2014, which received the Board’s no objection on July 8, 2014. The revised PDO was, “to assist Guizhou Province in protecting cultural and natural heritage, improving basic infrastructure, and fostering tourism development for the benefit of selected communities (including ethnic minority groups)". Revised PDO Indicators The RF was revised to reflect changes to the PDO and to ensure a more effective and streamlined approach to measure results. The Revised PDO indicators are summarized in the Original PDO Indicators section and detailed in Annex 1. Revised Components As part of the restructuring, several changes were made to components 1 and 2 as follows: Component 1: Ethnic Minority Cultural Heritage Protection (Revised cost US$50.55 million). (i) the number of private houses to be renovated was reduced from 1,225 to 823 due to overly ambitious initial targets, (ii) the number of demonstration houses was reduced from 77 to 34 to optimize sustainable management and operation of the facilities, and (iii) a new subcomponent, the Danzhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, was added. Component 2: Natural Heritage and Scenic Site Protection and Development (Revised cost US$20.1 million). The subcomponent, museum for Dingxiao National Geo-Park in Qianxinan Prefecture, was dropped when no feasible design could be implemented within the project period. Other Changes Change in Total Project Cost and Reallocation of Funds. The total cost of the Project was revised from US$84.12 million to US$91.25 million. funds were reallocated across disbursement categories to reflect the changes in the subcomponents. The major increases were in Component 1 (from US$ 44.64 million to US$50.55 million), where the amounts for Goods and Block Grants were increased. Changes in Procurement. Originally contracting for traditional house renovation was carried out by village construction teams through community contracting using shopping procedures. However, capacity weaknesses at the village level were identified during implementation, raising concerns of implementation efficiency. In some cases, weak assessment of technical inputs, inaccurate quantity estimates, and large contingency amounts resulted in substantial contract deviations. Procurement methods were therefore revised in the restructuring and detailed procedures were reflected in the revised Operations Manual. Changes in Implementation Schedule and Loan Closing Date Extension. The Borrower’s revised implementation plan indicated that most works could be completed by the original loan closing date of June 30, 2016. However, a one year extension was provided to ensure the completion of the newly added subcomponent for the Danzhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Center. Disbursement estimates were revised accordingly. Page 10 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) Rationale for Changes and Their Implication on the Original Theory of Change The original PDO and KPIs were not within control of the Project design given the rapid economic growth of Guizhou. The PDO was revised to ensure that Project outcomes were coherently attributable to Project activities and outputs as shown in the theory of change (results chain) illustrated below. II. OUTCOME A. RELEVANCE OF PDOs Assessment of Relevance of PDOs and Rating The Project objectives had high strategic relevance for China and were well aligned with the World Bank Group’s CPS 2006-2010 and remained so for CPS FY2013-2016. The Project was consistent with the two strategic pillars of CSP 2006-2010 and addressed the first CPS strategy of “Reducing Poverty, Inequality and Social Exclusion” by targeting extremely poor and ethnic minority communities for economic development and poverty reduction. The project further addressed the second CPS strategy of “Managing Resource Scarcity and Environmental Challenges” by providing TA and strengthening institutions to help protect and manage Guizhou’s irreplaceable cultural and natural resources. The Project was also consistent with China’s 11th FYP (2005-2010), which placed a high priority on the improvement of cultural heritage preservation, which was further articulated in the State Council’s 2005 Notice on Strengthening Cultural Heritage Protection requiring substantial progress by LGs in the protection of cultural heritage. Page 11 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) The Project was further aligned with Guizhou Province’s development strategy to provide sustainable cultural protection and tourism development, as highlighted in Guizhou’s 11th FYP. The Project objectives remained highly relevant to the CPS FY2013-2016. Consistent with the challenges and priorities outlined in China’s 12th FYP (2011-2015), the Bank’s CPS FY2013-2016 focused on two main themes: Green Growth and Inclusive Development. The Project addressed the CPS theme to “Support Green Growth” by (a) enhancing urban environmental services, (b) demonstrating pollution management (through development of small scale infrastructure facilities and civil works such as water supply pipes, reservoirs, drainage channels, and sewerage treatment for villages and towns), and (c) piloting sustainable natural resource management (through the development of Village Conservation Goals (VCG) for planning and tourism and implementation of environmental and ecological protection measures for national parks). The Project further addressed the CPS theme to “Promote More Inclusive Development” by (a) strengthening skills development programs and (b) enhancing opportunities in rural areas and small towns through the Ethnic Minority Cultural Heritage Protection Component, which specifically aimed at increasing employment and incomes of residents of selected minority villages and ancient towns in rural areas through special skills training. As such, both the original and revised PDO’s strategic relevance is rated high. B. ACHIEVEMENT OF PDOs (EFFICACY) Assessment of Achievement of Each Objective/Outcome Due to the Level I Restructuring, a split rating for efficacy is applied (see Justification of Overall Efficacy Rating). Achievement of Original Objectives/Outcome (Rating: Modest). The original PDO aimed to “increase economic benefits to local communities” through increased tourism and better protection of cultural and natural heritages. As illustrated in the original theory of change, the protection and conservation investments would improve the basic conditions, capacity, and attractiveness of Project sites, which would theoretically stimulate tourist arrivals, lengthen their stays, and increase tourist spending on fees, accommodations, meals, and handicraft sales. The Project would also generate construction and tourism/hospitality-related jobs which would generate economic benefits for local communities and minorities. Furthermore, the development of small scale infrastructure and rehabilitated traditional private houses would directly increase economic benefits to local communities. However, while recognizing the Project’s original objectives and achievements, the theory of change illustrates several shortcomings in attribution and M&E design (detailed below), and the efficacy of the original PDO is rated modest. Increase in Tourism and Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage. The Project outputs in terms of developing conservation goals; protecting and conserving historic buildings, traditional private houses, and natural areas; providing tourism-related facilities, amenities, and basic infrastructure for minority villages, ancient towns, and national parks; and providing trainings are described below under the revised PDO section and in Annex 7. Most of the originally planned outputs were completed. In September 2017, three months after loan closing, the “annual number of tourist visits to key project sites” (including Guangling, Shanmu River, and Wangenglin) reached 4.49 million, exceeding the end-of-project target 2. Tourist visitation at the three gateway information centers (Jianhe, 2At loan closing, the "Annual number of tourist visits to key project sites" (including Guanling, Shanmu River, Wanfenglin) was 4.08 million or just below the target of 4.36 million. While the tourist visits may have been influenced by various factors, it is likely that tourism was negatively impacted by the heavier than normal seasonal rain in 2016, especially at the Shanmu River Scenic Park which is mainly known for their seasonal rafting activities. Page 12 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) Leishan and Liping) increased from a baseline of zero to 4800, exceeding the revised target of 4500, but missing the original target of 8,500 due to the fourth center (in Guiyang) being dropped during restructuring. Employment Generation. The Project generated short-term construction employment and long-term employment in the tourism/hospitality industry. The Project trained 3,215 people in special skills (traditional dancing, singing, and handicrafts of minority villages) and practical skills (including tour guides, tourist services, hospitality), which may have allowed them to increase their incomes. (a) Employment Opportunities During Construction of Village Infrastructure and Tourist Amenities. Project construction generated employment opportunities for administrative staff, technicians and workers. Construction contracts involved 1,451 person-months of managerial staff and 3,317 person-months of technicians, whose monthly incomes were RMB 2,800-10,000 and RMB 3,200-12,000, respectively. The Project involved 10,343 person-months of workers, including 7,230 person-months of migrant workers and 3,642 person- months of ethnic minorities, of which 2,620 person-months were of the poor (the total wage bill was not monitored or calculated). Priority was given to the local labor force for unskilled positions. Once enrolled, workers were trained in basic skills, which gradually enabled them to become skilled workers (b) Employment Brought by Tourism. While there were no tracer studies conducted and it is unrealistic to fully claim attribution to Project activities, the Project contributed to the generation of job opportunities in local tourism and hospitality sectors (such as cultural shows (dancing, singing, poetry), restaurants, home-inns, and handicraft/souvenir shops). Project sites saw an increase in tourism/hospitality sector employment from 3,023 people in 2010 to 13,551 people in 2016. Of the people employed in 2016, 8.3% (1,130 people) were Dong ethnic minority, 11% (1,486 people) Buyi, 19% (2,527 people) Miao, and 64.8% (8,785 people) Han. Some 69.1% (9,370 people) were under the age of 35, while 30.9% (4,181 people) were over 36 years old. This stronger showing for youth job creation suggests that they may be returning to Guizhou to start new businesses and spur development. Increased Average Per Capita Income and Poverty Reduction. Incomes at Project sites (including ethnic minority villages, ancient towns, and national scenic parks) improved significantly since Project launch, and the average income per person increased from RMB 3,160 in 2010 to RMB 6,131 in 2016 (increased at 194%), with the highest increase seen in Xiaohuang Village at 626.1% (RMB 1,150 in 2010 to RMB 7,200 in 2016) (see Annex 13). Furthermore, in five Project areas, the poverty population dropped from 18,181 people in 2010 (when the poverty line was RMB 650 per person per year), to 14,735 people in 2016 (where the poverty line is RMB 3,160 per person per year). Poverty rates dropped from 44.3% to 27.87%. While the impacts of increased economic benefits and poverty alleviation cannot be fully attributed to the Project, it likely contributed to allowing 21 ethnic minority villages and 134 groups to escape poverty. Out of the 14,682 people who rose out of poverty, 2,829 people were Miao, 2,079 Dong, 1,302 Buyi, and the remaining 8,302 were Han. Basic Infrastructure Development and Rehabilitation of Traditional Private Houses. The development of basic infrastructure and rehabilitated traditional private houses directly increased economic benefits to local communities. Such economic benefits were captured by the increased value of assets at Project sites. For example, values of residential houses in Anhsun Jiuzhou increased from 1,050 RMB/m2 (before WB Project) to 4,300 RMB/m2 (after WB Project) with an increase rate of 310%. Similarly, shop values in Nahui Village in Wangengling increased from 1,300 RMB/m2 (before WB Project) to 6,800 RMB/m2 (after WB Project) with an increase rate of 423% (see Annex 11). Page 13 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) Issues of Attribution and M&E Design. As explained in Section I-B, it is unrealistic to attribute Guizhou’s economic growth solely to the Project’s interventions. With regards to skills training, the Project did not produce tracer studies to study the links between special and practical skills training and industry growth. Nor did the M&E track growth in the tourism/hospitality sector in the participating villages and towns to ascertain possible income growth. Those provided with intangible cultural heritage (special skills) training were not tracked to identify the extent that training allowed them to increase their incomes. Those provided with construction skills training received compensation under the Project, however, they were not followed to see if they were able to gain further construction employment after completing their training. While the PDO targeted local communities (including ethnic minorities), the Project did not carefully track the residency or ethnicity of those potentially benefiting from increased tourism or protection of cultural and natural heritage under the Project (see M&E design section for further details). As for the Project’s role in stimulating economic benefits with tourism, it must be mentioned that the change in Guizhou have been radical since appraisal in 2009. Per Guizhou’s 13th FYP, tourist numbers for the whole Province grew at 24% per year from 2011-2015 (for the period of the 12th FYP), while total tourism revenue grew at 27%. The National Economic and Social Development Statistical Bulletin in Guizhou indicated that tourism sector revenues for the Province in 2015 reached RMB 351 billion (compared to RMB 142 billion in 2011), contributing to around 9.2% of the total Provincial GDP. With such dramatic growth, it is difficult to ascertain the actual role of the Project in increasing average per capita incomes and alleviating poverty in the minority villages. It is plausible to assume Project activities spurred growth, but it cannot be assumed that this level of growth is solely attributable to a Bank financing of $60 million. Given the lack of indicators/data clearly linking the Project to economic benefits for locals communicates (including minorities), the efficacy rating for the original PDO is modest. Achievement of Current (Revised) Objectives/Outcome (Rating: High). The revised PDO had three elements: (a) protecting cultural and natural heritage; (b) improving basic infrastructure; and (c) fostering tourism development and the beneficiaries were the “selected communities including ethnic minority groups”. The Project success in meeting all three sub-objectives is rated high as all the KPIs and IOIs essentially met or exceeded their end-of-project targets. 1. PDOa: Protecting Cultural and Natural Heritage. Under Component 1, all 18 participating villages were assisted to develop VCGs using the CBD approach. These goals were required before works could begin, and were used to program the conservation activities for each village. To implement the CBD approach, Community Facilitators (CF) were hired to mobilize the communities, educate them about the procedures enshrined in the Operational Manual for Community Participation (OMCP), generate commitment, pursue preparation and approvals, and assist communities in resolving problems. VCGs (i) identified important physical and natural heritage needing conservation; (ii) developed locally-enforceable heritage protection measures that would maintain land use patterns, cultural landscapes, traditional architectural integrity, and overall aesthetic consistency; (iii) provided guidelines and acceptable limits of change for basic infrastructure and for residential upgrades, new construction, and rehabilitation of traditional buildings; and (iv) developed village-level informational materials to raise community awareness and to educate visitors about local heritage. The Provincial Tourism Bureau’s flagship project, the “100 Scenic Spots of Guizhou” which identifies the main tourist attractions in the province, has incorporated these VCGs into its planning and programming, and they are used for similar traditional villages slated for protection and development. CBD Approach and Block Grant Program. Component 1 (c) and (d) provided block grants to (i) beneficiary households who would conserve or rehabilitate selected traditional houses, and (ii) villages that would conduct intangible cultural Page 14 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) protection and preservation activities. As stated above, the Block Grant programs were implemented in accordance with the OMCP which defined the Project’s eligibility criteria, procedures, contents, work methods, corresponding contracts and agreements, and operational standards including disbursement procedures. During implementation, adjustments were incorporated to strengthen community participation and allow for scale-up. Public awareness of cultural relic preservation grew from 51% to 84.85% as locals appreciated their heritage, participated in maintaining it, and took ownership of the projects. Traditional House Conservation and Rehabilitation. For Component 1(c), CPMOs helped develop (i) Private House Annual Work Plans for houses to be renovated through a participatory approach; (ii) Private House Implementation Agreements which were signed terms between the CMPO and beneficiary households; and (iii) payment schedules and conditions to be met for work to be declared satisfactory. Traditional house conservation and rehabilitation using CBD took place in 20 villages and towns, conserving a total of 1,040 traditional private houses (of which 193 were Han, 196 Buyi, 307 Miao, 344 Dong), exceeding the end-of-project target of 823. Furthermore, 29 demonstration houses were conserved. Significant increases in value of assets were observed as described in the original PDO section (see Annex 11). Photographs (before and after) of the houses are shown in Appendix 9.1 and Appendix 9.2. While each village had its own characteristics, the modus operandi of the subcomponent emphasized modularity and replicability, serving as a model for protection and development of traditional villages in Guizhou. The project methodologies have since been replicated in adjacent village blocks in Anshun Jiuzhou Ancient Town and other villages in the region. Furthermore, the “Guidelines for Traditional House Renovation” developed through the Project TA, standardized guidelines for renovation and construction of village dwellings 3 . Now regarded as the technical standards for rehabilitation construction, these guidelines have been applied to similar traditional house rehabilitation and protection in Guizhou Province. Intangible Cultural Protection and Preservation. For Component 1 (d), CPMOs developed i) Intangible Cultural Heritage Annual Work Plans to select activities that would preserve intangible cultural heritage and protect village community beneficiaries; and (ii) Intangible Cultural Heritage Implementation Agreements (listing activities, costs, implementation schedules, outputs, verification requirements, and payment conditions). As stated above, 3,215 people received special and practical skills training. Special effort was given to training youth in traditional arts and technologies in order to entice them to remain in traditional villages. Furthermore, the Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Project and Development Center developed under the Project serves as a platform to provide introductory trainings for tourism/hospitality students of Guizhou Normal University and comprehensive professional trainings for tourism/hospitality sector practitioners from all over Guizhou Province. During the Center’s operation from January to September 2017, 1800 students were trained in courses such as “Theory and Practice of Guizhou Cultural Tourism,” “Design and Marketing of Tourism Products,” and “Design and Maintenance of Tourism Websites.” Furthermore, during the same period, 650 tourism practitioners from Qiandongnan Prefecture and Qianxinan Prefecture were trained in the topics including “Guizhou Destination Tourism Management,” “Ecologic Protection and Product Development of Countryside Destination Tourism,” and “Cultural Heritage Site Protection and Special Industry Development.” While no tracer studies were conducted, it is highly probable that Project trainings conceivably 3 The Guidelines comprise separate sections for traditional houses and modern houses. The Guidelines adopted principles for structural safety, minimal intervention, and functionality and heritage protection. Regulations on patterns, materials, specifications, colors and construction methods on roofs, walls, doors and windows, floors, railings, decorations and courtyards of traditional houses were included. Page 15 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) increased employment opportunities and raised incomes of the training recipients. Photographs of special and practical skills trainings are shown in Appendix 9.5 and Appendix 9.6. PDOb: Improving Basic Infrastructure. Small-scale infrastructure facilities were completed in 20 Project locations (see Annex 7). The Project constructed approximately 142km of roads (including access roads, pedestrian and foot paths), 56km of drainage channels, 38km of water supply pipes, sewage treatment with a capacity of 2,780m3/day, and 21,620m2 of parking lots. The Project also installed some 900 rubbish bins, 421 fire hydrants, 31 public restrooms, and 4,370 signage boards. These works benefited local communities with better drainage, water and sewage treatment, thereby creating a more salubrious environment. The works provided 26,900 direct Project beneficiaries with access to "improved sanitation facilities” in rural Project areas, meeting the end-of-project target. Ethnic minorities represented 75% of the direct beneficiaries, exceeding the end-of-project goal of 70%. Furthermore, the works provided employment and generated income during construction as mentioned above. PDOc: Fostering Tourism Development. Works completed for Guanling National Geo-Park in Anshun Municipality, Shanmu River Scenic Park in Qiandongnan Prefecture, and Wanfenglin National Scenic Park in Qianxinan Prefecture included construction and/or rehabilitation of pedestrian roads, public restrooms, water supply and sanitation facilities, signage, and tourist service centers, and environmental and ecological protection measures. Component 2 included the construction of the Guanling National Geo-Park tourist service center (2,539m2) and a parking lot (5,000m2), construction of the Shastasauridae Park and afforestation of the whole park, and development of the Wanfenglin hiking and mountain biking system (160km) (see Annex 7). The Tourism Gateway Town Facilities Component included the construction of the Jianhe tourist information service and training center (10,694m2), the Leishan Cultural Display, Information Center and Training Center (5,369m2) and parking lot (1,800m2), Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Project and Development Center (including research center of 3,000m2 and training center of 12,206m2) (see Annex 7). Signage, restrooms, parking, and walking paths were also constructed to improve tourist experience, comfort, safety, and increase the carrying capacity of the sites. Both the number of tourists and tourism related income increased at the Project sites of Anshun, Qiandongnan, and Qianxinan Prefectures. The number of tourists in these areas increased from 7,111,600 in 2010 to 21,147,000 in 2016 – an increase of 297%. Employment brought by tourism is discussed above. Again, given the substantial increase in the presence of the private sector during implementation, the increased tourism is not solely attributable to the Project, but the Project improvements likely contributed to this growth. Honorable Mention in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. The “Liu Ancestral Hall Preservation and Renovation Project of Sanmentang Village” included under the Project, won Honorable Mention in the 2016 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. (Photograph shown in Annex 9.3.) The Liu Ancestral Hall Project was recognized for its successful application of a rigorous scientific approach, notably, the carrying out of non-intrusive investigation of the building fabric, systematic testing of possible solutions and meticulous conservation interventions. Pre-restoration site investigation and material analysis were conducted to identify the causes of deterioration and to select the appropriate materials and techniques. The restoration efforts also included studies of local historical records and of Liu’s genealogy, and members of the Liu family and residents of Sanmentang Village were consulted and involved in the project planning, design, and implementation. In reviving the significant historic building dating to back to 1875 (the first year of the Qing dynasty) for on-going use by the Dong Page 16 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) ethnic group villagers and outside visitors, UNESCO further recognized the Project’s contribution to a larger initiative to protect and promote Guizhou’s diverse cultural and natural heritage. Justification of Overall Efficacy Rating A split rating for efficacy is applied due to the Level I Restructuring. The efficacy rating for the original PDO is conservatively rated as modest for not better targeting local and minority beneficiaries and for lack of strong indicators/data establishing the relationship between Project works and trainings with increased economic benefits in the Project areas. Efficacy for the revised PDO is rated high for the Project’s success in conserving tangible and intangible heritage, improving infrastructure for local beneficiaries including minorities, and improving and establishing tourist accommodation facilities that contributed to increased tourism. The UNESCO award and the replication of guidelines and manuals together highlight the effectiveness of the Project’s conservation activities. C. EFFICIENCY Assessment of Efficiency and Rating Efficiency (Rating: Substantial). Project Costs: The final total Project cost, including interest during construction, is estimated at US$94.85 million, which is about 105.58% of the estimated cost of US$89.84 million at appraisal (see Annex 3). The slight cost increase was mainly due to i) exchange rate fluctuations, ii) minor changes in Project activities, iii) increased final contract prices due to project variations and delays, and iv) increase in construction and project management costs (such as costs for supervision, audit, and PMO staff and office space) associated with the long implementation period and one year extension. Economic Analysis: The Project’s expected economic benefits remained the same throughout implementation. With the completion and operation of the Project’s outputs as originally designed, albeit one year late, the objectives of the Project, particularly the revised PDO, were met. The Project brought increased incremental economic benefits, both monetary and non-monetary, to beneficiaries including local ethnic minorities, local communities and government, domestic and international tourists, and tourism related industries in Project areas by i) Protecting natural and cultural heritage, ii) Improving basic infrastructure, and iii) Fostering tourism development. As identified at appraisal, the main economic benefits were direct use values/benefits to local residents and communities experiencing better living conditions and higher living standards, and to tourists enabled with access to better preserved cultural and natural heritage sites and tourist facilities. There were also indirect use or non-use values, such as the ecological and environmental improvements provided by natural heritage preservation and the cultural heritage preservation of ethnic minority cultures. These economic benefits identified at appraisal remained unchanged. A combination of cost-effectiveness approach and cost-benefit analysis was applied in the economic analysis of the Project at appraisal. Cost-effectiveness Approach. The cost-effective approach was used to ensure that the least-cost options were adopted at Project design to achieve the development objectives and goals. In most of the investment components, guidelines for lower cost infrastructure options were followed in the selection of alternative technical designs. Specifically, the guidelines recommended design and technical alternatives including construction materials, technical standards (such as the width of access roads and hiking trails), and technologies to ensure the use of least- Page 17 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) cost options. In general, contract amounts of World Bank Projects were 20-30% lower than non-World Bank Projects as shown below. Example Civil Works WB Project Non-WB Project Savings (%) Roads (RBM/km) 355,000 450,000 21% Water Supply Pipeline (RMB/km) 120,000 165,000 27% Drainage Pipeline (RMB/km) 155,000 210,000 26% Information Center (RMB/m2) 2,100 2,700 22% Parking Lot (RMB/m2) 750 1,000 25% Cost-benefit Analysis. The cost-benefit analysis was performed on a few representative components to quantify economic benefits, examine the economic justification of the representative components, and to help illustrate the economic viability of the Project. The four representative Project sites were: Wanfenglin Scenic Area, Anshun Jiuzhou Ancient Town, Langde Miao Ethnic Cultural Village, and Zhaoxin Tong Ethnic Cultural Village. The cost-benefit analysis conducted at appraisal only quantified the direct use benefits to visitors and local residents. Other benefits, while equally important, were not included due to limitations on data. Hence the results were intended to be conservative as the analysis included full economic costs of Project components, while only some of the economic benefits were incorporated. The economic internal rate of return (EIRR) of each of the four representative Project sites varied from 13.7% (Anshun Jiuzhou Ancient Town) to 19.6% (Langde Miao Ethnic Cultural Village) at appraisal. At Project completion, the cost-benefit analysis was conducted for the four representative Project sites with the same valuation methods as at appraisal. To maintain consistency with appraisal-phase valuation methods, the same willingness-to-pay (WTP) values obtained from the 2007 surveys (at appraisal) were used and adjusted based on the net increase in per capita disposal income from 2007 to 2016. The assumptions of tourist projections and average on-site expenses of visitors (including admission fee and other expenses on accommodation, food and souvenirs) were also adjusted based on actual data available from the Project sites over the implementation years to capture and evaluate the real results of the Project. The EIRRs of the four representative Project sites at appraisal and ICR are summarized below. Details of the calculation are provided in Annex 4. Wanfenglin Jiuzhou Langde Zhaoxing Appraisal 13.7% 10.2% 19.6% 12.6% Project Completion (ICR) 17.8% 19.1% 17.5% 12.4% Both Wanfenglin Scenic Area and Jiuzhou Ancient Town had substantially higher EIRR at ICR than at appraisal. Both sites have become popular tourist destinations since appraisal due to Project investments and other government investments in tourism infrastructure improvements. The actual number of tourist visits in Wanfenglin in 2016 was 1.0 million, almost 330% of the 2016 projection of 32,280 at appraisal. Furthermore, while Jiuzhou had barely any tourists with a low 2011 projection of 50,000 at appraisal, the actual number of tourist in 2016 reached 1.2 million person visits. The lower EIRR of Langde Miao Village was due to lower tourist numbers than projected and higher total investment costs related to tourism development. The reason for the lower tourist numbers in Langde is in part due to the success of its neighboring Xijiang Miao Village (which was also part of the Project, however, was not included in the economic analysis conducted at appraisal) which attracted tourists who may otherwise have visited Page 18 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) Langde. The lower EIRR of Zhaoxing Village was partially due to the higher government investment costs (mainly in building new entrances to the Village and roads surrounding the site) which lowered the share of Bank investments in the total investment, consequently lowering its share of total economic benefits. While the EIRRs of two of four representative Project sites at completion were lower than those at appraisal, based on the ongoing trend of successful tourism development in the region, the Project’s economic objectives are considered achieved, and the economic efficiency of the Project is rated substantial. As Project investment costs were shouldered by LGs (from LG financial budget including budget transfers from national/provincial government and local tax revenues), the Project did not result in additional tariffs or tax increases on local residents. The Project particularly benefited the poor regions and populations, mostly in the minority villages, through enhanced values of their cultural and natural heritage, increased income generated from tourism, and improved living standards of local residents. As elaborated in the efficacy section, this is exemplified in the increased value of assets (such as residential houses and shops) in Project sites shown in Annex 11. The participatory CBD approach employed also ensured that Project revenues were fairly shared among local residents. Furthermore, as explained in Section II-B, while not entirely attributable to the Project, incomes of ethnic minority villages have improved significantly since appraisal in 2009. Financial Analysis: As the LGs shouldered the Project investment costs and were responsible for loan repayment, no FIRR at Project level was necessary. To assess the financial capacity of the concerned LGs to sustain such commitments, associated outlays were compared to the on-budget financial resources of the LGs at appraisal. The appraisal concluded that the province had sufficient financial ability to repay, and that the recurrent expenditures could be payable by most subprojects as admission charges from visitors with the WTP for their visit, would be collected. Project implementation met some issues with LG counterpart fund shortages in the early phase of the Project (see Section II- B (Financial Management)), such issues were remedied and counterpart funds were provided adequately in the later phase of the Project. Furthermore, the Project contributed to catalyzing private sector investments, allowing Project sites to invest extra money in associated tourism development activities. Private sector investments and commercial activities further contributed to increased local tax revenues for the LGs. D. JUSTIFICATION OF OVERALL OUTCOME RATING Following the Level 1 Restructuring, a split rating was applied to the evaluation, with the original PDO evaluated at 45.8% and the revised PDO valued at 54.2%. Relevance is rated high, efficacy before and after restructuring are respectively rated modest and high, and efficiency is rated substantial. The outcome ratings before and after restructuring are respectively rated moderately unsatisfactory and highly satisfactory, resulting in an overall outcome rating of satisfactory based on the split rating. Details of the rating are shown below. Before Restructuring After Restructuring Relevance of Objectives High Efficacy (PDO) Modest High Efficiency Substantial Outcome Ratings Moderately Unsatisfactory (3) Highly Satisfactory (6) Share of Disbursement 45.8% 54.2% Weighted Value of Outcome Rating 1.374 3.252 Final Outcome Rating Satisfactory (1.374 + 3.252 = 4.899 rounded to 5.0) Page 19 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) E. OTHER OUTCOMES AND IMPACTS (IF ANY) Gender The Bank’s CPS FY2013-2016 aimed to strengthen efforts to mainstream gender. China’s 12th FYP (2010-2015) also focused on inclusive development and the importance of ensuring women's access to basic services. The Project was aligned with both by emphasizing the importance of gender-sensitive beneficiary participation during project implementation to increase benefits for both men and women. While the original Project design did not include gender-specified indicators in the RF, efforts were made to ensure female participation during Project planning and implementation (for example, at least one-third of the members of Village Supervision Groups (VSG) were to be female). The restructuring added two new IOIs to ensure that project outputs and outcomes would be gender- informed: i) number of female beneficiaries from the Project (end-of-project target: 40%, actual achieved at completion: 50%), and ii) number of female participants in consultation activities during implementation (end-of- project target: 7,000 participants, actual achieved at completion: 7,300 participants). Institutional Strengthening The ambitious Project scope required significant institutional strengthening and coordination at all levels. While the Tourism Bureau served as the main PMO, the Project required coordination and involvement of the Housing and Construction Bureau, Financing Bureau, and the Cultural Relics Bureau. To systematically and efficiently implement the sub-components located across counties, Project Leading Groups (PLGs) 4, PMOs, and VSGs were established at the provincial, municipal/prefectural, county and village levels. Furthermore, TA in institutional capacity development and trainings were provided in design review, financial management, environmental management, procurement, contract management, and construction supervision management during Project implementation, which helped ensure that the Project’s procurement and disbursement met Bank requirements, and that the Project was conducive of satisfactory outputs and outcomes. International and domestic study tours were conducted to i) better understand the philosophy, system and mechanism of cultural and natural protection and development, ii) establish and strengthen connections with related foreign and domestic institutions, and iii) attain knowledge on internal management structure reform and methodologies to improve management skills for tourism-related departments. Additionally, significant efforts were put into physical audits of completed assets and timely installments of various O&M arrangements for operations to ensure the sustainability of Project objectives. PMOs paid close attention to the improvement of management skills by making clear annual plans on trainings and study tours. Furthermore, as a participative CBD approach was used to implement the subcomponents in the minority villages, numerous community (village) trainings were organized by CMPOs. Such trainings were mainly in the form of inviting experts to provide lectures or organizing village-village visits for knowledge exchange. Mobilizing Private Sector Financing Many counties utilized the World Bank Project to attract private sector investments to the Project sites. As of September, 2017, the Project helped leverage a total of 815 million RMB private sector investments to the four Project sites of Anshun Jiuzhou, Huangping Jiuzhou, Jinping Longli, and Liping Zhaoxin (see Annex 12). Private sector 4 PPLG included representatives from the Guizhou Provincial Government, Guizhou Provincial Development and Reform Committee, Guizhou Provincial Finance Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Economy and Trade Commission, Guizhou Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission, Guizhou Provincial Land and Resources Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Construction Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Transportation Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Water Resources Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Forestry Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Culture Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, and Guizhou Provincial Office of Poverty Alleviation. Page 20 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) investments included hotels, restaurants, tourist products and shops, and intangible heritage product research and development. These investments are anticipated to provide hospitality services to support a steady stream of tourists and further increase economic benefits to local communities. Poverty Reduction and Shared Prosperity As detailed in Sections I and II, the Project facilitated local economic development and employment generation, which contributed to increasing economic benefits to local communities (shared prosperity) and poverty alleviation in the region. Local residents were key participants in the various special and practical skills training under the Project, and while issues of attribution remain, incomes of ethnic minority villages improved significantly after Project launch (see Annex 13). Other Unintended Outcomes and Impacts While the Honorable Mention of the “Liu Ancestral Hall Preservation and Renovation Project of Sanmentang Village” in the 2016 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation was fully intended, the recognition has opened doors to unprecedented opportunities for Guizhou. In May 2017, a delegation from Guizhou, led by the Vice Governor of Guizhou Province, visited Washington DC to exchange views and experiences on cultural and natural heritage preservation and tourism development. Similarly, management from World Bank and UNESCO have visited Guizhou to learn how successful Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism as well as strong Project ownership built on community-led approaches can contribute to poverty alleviation in rural areas. III. KEY FACTORS THAT AFFECTED IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOME A. KEY FACTORS DURING PREPARATION Project Design Issues. The original Project Design had several shortcomings. The PDO was not within the control of the Project, KPIs were not entirely attributable to the Project. The Project’s wide geographical scope made coordination and supervision costly and time-consuming for both the client and the Bank. The selection of Guizhou Provincial Tourism Bureau (GTB) as the PPMO was questionable given their limited experience with civil works, rehabilitation and conservation works, intangible cultural heritage preservation, and Bank-financed Projects. The numerous yet small procurement packages scattered across 19 counties exacerbated the challenges posed by weak implementation capacity and counterpart funding shortages at the LG level. Risks were not adequately assessed and mitigated. These missteps largely resulted in early implementation delays and the Level 1 Restructuring (Project design issues are further detailed in Section III-B). Long Project Preparation Period. Project preparation spanned three years from 2006-2009 (Section IV-C (Bank Performance)), requiring several urgent contracts anticipated under the Project to be implemented using counterpart funding or re-packaged under the Project. The contract for civil works and traditional house rehabilitation in Xijiang of Leishan, which had to be completed before the Third Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Conference in September 2008, had to be implemented using counterpart funding. The contract for civil works and traditional house rehabilitation for Wenfenglin, which had to be completed before the Sixth Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Conference in September 2011, was re-packaged with an increase contract amount under the Project. Page 21 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) B. KEY FACTORS DURING IMPLEMENTATION Weak Implementation Capacity. Project start-up was slow due to weak implementation capacity. The implementing agencies and design institutes were unfamiliar with World Bank procedures and requirements on procurement, contract and construction management, and FM, which led to delays in preparing satisfactory detailed designs, project implementation, and processing disbursement applications. Design institutes required several rounds of detailed reviews to prepare adequate technical specifications and documents due to their lack of experience. Frequent personnel changes, especially those responsible for project and financial administration, also hampered Project management and caused delays. Inexperience with CBD Processes and Block Grant Programs. The lack of experience with implementing CBD processes and block grants led to a slow start to the implementation of community-based village components. While the CFs were to guide the CBD processes, the early phases of the Project observed insufficient commitment to the participatory approach and inadequate TA provided to local communities. As a result, early phase village housing rehabilitation works were implemented largely through the initiatives of village organizations, according to their own understandings and procedures, without the basic framework documented in the VCP, as agreed at appraisal. Such issues were remedied through a more structured and proactive approach from CFs. Furthermore, the PPMO was required to ensure uniformity in the application of housing grants with good control measures exercised on owner’s contributions. Shortage in Counterpart Funds. The Project experienced counterpart fund shortages in the early phase. Financial resources at the LG level were very limited, and CPMOs did not allocate funds from their LGs to meet their commitments, which hampered Project implementation and management. The RMB appreciation 5 and increased price of materials and labor exacerbated the issue. Counterpart issues were remedied by the Bank and PPMO working closely with the Guizhou Provincial Finance Bureau (GPFB) and CPMOs to closely coordinate with LGs to provide counterpart funds in a timely manner as committed. Scattered Project Sites. The Project’s geographical scope was too wide, with Project activities taking place in 18 villages, four ancient towns, four scenic areas/natural conservation zones, and five gateway towns, spread over 19 counties in four municipalities/prefectures, and involved various weak capacity stakeholders. Each Project county had different design institutes, making the learning curve steep. Furthermore, the scattered physical locations of the procurement packages made it difficult to decide the location of bid opening and evaluation, hindering procurement progress. Delays in hiring the project management consultants exacerbated the delays. Difficulties in Land Acquisition and Resettlement. Divergences in opinions between the implementation agencies and affected people (AP) on the cost standard and the scope of compensation were experienced in several Project villages such as Shidong, Wubao, and Zhanliu. Negotiating compensation increases for land acquisition and resettlement led to implementation delays. However, the Bank and the PPMO ensured that appropriate measures were taken in the handling of land acquisition and resettlement (see Section IV-B Involuntary Resettlement). Changes in City Planning. Changes to city and tourism master plans during implementation also resulted in delays. Changes in the Guiyang Master Plan required long approval times for the Guizhou Culture Tourism Training Center and the Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection Research Center, and pushed back construction schedules 5 The exchange rate of the US Dollar against the RMB fluctuated from 6.8321 at Project appraisal in August 2009 to 6.0369 at the lowest in January 2014, and 6.78070 at Project closing in June 2017. Page 22 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) for the Baoshan Campus of Guizhou Normal University. Similarly, changes in the Danzhai County Tourism Master Plan delayed the implementation of Danzhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, which was dropped from the Project and completed by domestic funds 6. Low Bidding Costs. Early civil work and equipment contracts experienced substantial deviations between signed contract amounts and the actual contract amounts. In some cases, inaccurate quantity estimates were made before construction, while other cases involved low bids (there were extreme cases where the lowest bids were approximately 65-75% of the cost estimates). Low bids in civil works and equipment contracts resulted in numerous, time-consuming contract variations, claims for damages, construction delays and difficulties in project management, which incurred higher project implementation costs. Such issues were adequately remedied through revisions in procurement during the Project restructuring. Further details are explained in Section IV-B (Procurement). Long Elapsed Time between MTR and Restructuring. While the MTR aide-memoire from January 2013 highlighted the need for a restructuring to revise the PDO and KPIs to scale back the Project, the official request for restructuring from the Borrower was received only on April 29, 2014, over a year after the MTR. The Board approved the RP via no objection on July 8, 2014. The protracted restructuring process was primarily due to delays in obtaining government approvals, during which disbursements jumped from US$ 10.33 million (17.2% at MTR) to US$ 27.49 million (45.8% at RP approval). This signals the need to streamline the approval process for the Borrower. IV. BANK PERFORMANCE, COMPLIANCE ISSUES, AND RISK TO DEVELOPMENT OUTCOME A. QUALITY OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E) M&E Design The RF was not logically structured. Each of the 17 participating villages had its own KPI measuring the increases in average per capita income of about 18-19%; however, these changes in income were not entirely attributable to the Project. IOIs primarily measured physical outputs such as “Cumulative number of project sites with conservation work completed in line with approved conservation plans” and “Number of natural heritage sites with appropriate interpretation and signage in place.” The M&E design mentioned “annual community surveys for minority villages” but the RF did not contain any indicators that would logically correspond to such surveys. For example, the RF did not capture satisfaction with skills trainings or relate the trainings offered to tourism related employment growth. M&E design would have benefited from including tracking surveys to gauge the success of the Project’s training in tourism/hospitality skills, and if results of the early trainings were mediocre, the trainings could have been better targeted or refocused. As the RF had attribution issues, the PPMO and Bank revised both the PDO and RF in the July Restructuring to ensure that Project outcomes were attributable to the Project activities and outputs. The revised RF was logical and better designed to capture the revised PDO. Indicators measuring average income in each village were removed. KPIs on conservation goals submitted; people with access to improved sanitation; annual tourist visits to key sites and ethnic 6The Danzhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, subject to the Danzhai County Tourism Master Plan, was dropped from the Bank project at the request of the PPMO as the County Master Plan could not be completed within loan closing. While the subcomponent was not financed by the Bank project, it will be developed by domestic funds upon completion of the Danzhai County Tourism Master Plan. At Project closing, technical designs for the Heritage Center were completed with no land acquisition and resettlement involved, and EIA was under preparation. Construction was expected to commence in September 2017. Page 23 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) minority beneficiaries were added. IOIs measured Project outputs such as traditional houses renovated; improved access to natural heritage sites; numbers of people trained; numbers of tourists at gateway towns, etc. M&E Implementation The PPMO and CPMOs conducted M&E reporting through semi-annual progress reports and the environment and resettlement monitoring reports. Early in the Project, M&E was slow because the management information system (MIS) to effectively monitor the large number of Project activities, stakeholders, and locations of operations was not fully in place. This problem was remedied with installment of a MIS which standardized information gathering formats, streamlined reporting processes. The accompanying TA provided close guidance to CMPOs to help ensure data quality and reliability. Later in the Project, comprehensive progress reports, including detailed Project implementation status by component, updated comprehensive procurement plans, revised loan allocation breakdown by category, and revised RF with baselines and current data for all indicators, were prepared and submitted in a timely manner. As the RF involved a mix of outcome-oriented and output-based indicators, the progress reports comprehensively measured physical progress and achievement of the PDO. M&E Utilization A reliable flow of M&E data during implementation enabled the Bank to assess the performance of the different Project components and the sustainability of the conserved cultural and natural heritage sites. The PMOs and PIUs incorporated the monitoring indicators established in the Project as part of their ongoing management and operations. Specific data such as “annual number of tourist visits” have helped project site managers understand seasonal demands, forecast revenues, as well as identify progress in visitor satisfaction. Justification of Overall Rating of Quality of M&E The overall quality of M&E is rated substantial based on M&E design, implementation and utilization. The original RF was problematic, but it was refined at the MTR Restructuring. Implementation and utilization following the MTR were satisfactory. B. ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND FIDUCIARY COMPLIANCE Environmental and Social Safeguards. This was a Category A Project with four of the Bank’s Safeguards policies triggered: Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01), Indigenous Peoples (OP 4.10), Physical Cultural Resources (OP 4.11), and Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12). The original instruments, Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Indigenous People’s Plan (IPP), Cultural Heritage Conservation Plan, and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) were duly disclosed at the Bank Infoshop on December 6, 2008. Information on the Project and potential environmental impacts were publicly disclosed through the web (www.ghidri.com.cn) and local newspaper (Guizhou Daily, January 30, 2008). Furthermore, the RAP and Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) were publicly disclosed through local media (Qiandongnan Daily, April 3, 2008, and Guizhou Daily, April 24, 2008). Environmental Assessment (Rating: Satisfactory). All safeguard policies were satisfactorily complied with and monitored by an independent environmental monitoring consultant. Based on the requirements set forth in the EMP, all CPMOs established corresponding environmental management units, arranged personnel to be responsible for environmental management and supervision during construction, and adopted a series of environmental protection measures to minimize negative influences from the Project (including air pollution control, sewage pollution control, noise pollution control, and solid waste pollution control). EMPs for environmental management and mitigation measures were included in the contracts, and were properly implemented during construction and Page 24 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) commissioning. While the early phases of the Project saw some shortcomings in the timely EMP implementation reporting and the effectiveness of mitigation measures/methods, issues were remedied and environmental monitoring results in the semi-annual progress reports showed that EMPs were completed satisfactorily. Construction closely followed EMPs, relevant national codes, and good practice. Surface water quality was monitored for local rivers near subproject sites in Anshun Jiuzhou, Kaili, Danzhai, Jinping, Congjiang, and Xingyi. The monitoring indicator results for pH, SS, COD, BOD5, NH3-N showed that all pollutants monitored met the Grade-III requirements specified in Surface Water Environment Quality Standard (GB3838-2002) and suggested that construction and operation of Project facilities did not cause negative environmental impacts (see Annex 6). Safety, sanitation and epidemic prevention measures were implemented and a total of 270 safety contracts were signed and 375 safety education courses were delivered throughout implementation. Indigenous Peoples (Rating: Satisfactory). Among the 19 Project counties, 13 were national poverty counties and 13 were ethnic minority autonomous counties. Based on the terminology of “Indigenous Peoples” in OP 4.10, it was concluded that OP 4.10 would apply to 23 subprojects in 18 villages, three ancient towns, and two scenic areas. Among the total beneficiary population of 65,718 people in 2016, 5.9% (3,898 people) were Buyi ethnicity, 17% (11,185 people) Miao, 35% (23,000 people) Han, and 42.1% (27,635 people) Dong. Component 1 specifically aimed at increasing employment and incomes of residents of selected ethnic minority villages and ancient towns through improving their basic living conditions, with special attention to protecting their cultural heritage. The Resettlement and Social Completion Report confirmed that the IPP was completed satisfactorily (Annex 8). Out of some 947 residential houses restored by the Project, 153 belonged to Dong ethnic households, 202 Buyi, 269 Han, and 323 Miao. In terms of local tourism/hospitality sector employment generated from the Project, out of the 13,551 people in 2016, 8.3% (1,120 people) were Dong, 11% (1,486 people) Buyi, 19% (2,527 people) Miao, and 64.8% (8,785 people) Han. Out of the 14,682 regional people who rose out of poverty status by 2016, 1,302 were Buyi, 2,079 Dong, 2,829 Miao, and 8,302 Han. Physical Cultural Resources (Rating: Highly Satisfactory). In accordance to the VCGs (see Section II-B), original structures of physical cultural resources, whether they were listed as historical relics or not, were rehabilitated under the principle of “authenticity and completeness” for cultural heritage preservation. Traditional materials and construction technologies were adopted to ensure that the facades of building structures and traditional houses were restored authentically as “old as old” to original conditions. As detailed in Section II-E, in 2016, UNESCO recognized the “Lie Ancestral Hall Preservation and Renovation Project” for its successful application of rigorous and responsible restoration processes and techniques. Involuntary Resettlement (Rating: Satisfactory). The Project triggered OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement as land acquisition and involuntary resettlement were involved. A RAP and RPF were prepared and implemented. The Project occupied a total land area of 993.1 mu, of which 149.8 mu of collectively-owned land were acquired. An additional 676.8 mu of collectively-owned land were utilized via other methods like land leasing and the remaining 166.5 mu utilized state-owned land. Land acquisition and resettlement were minimized by utilizing existing walking paths, drainage ditches, open spaces and flood lands that were collectively owned (constituting 68.15% of the total land area) and the actual total land area occupied by the Project was 68.7% of the original RAP, which was planned for 1,445.53 mu. Land acquisition affected 415 households, including 245 ethnic minority households and 170 Han households. Twelve houses and one unit, which constituted a total building area of 3,178.3 m2 and 2000m2 respectively, were demolished. Page 25 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) During the MTR, the Bank noted one case in Huangping Jiuzhou, where the renovation of 65 traditional houses caused temporary resettlement (AP included small farmers and shopkeepers who would move back into their houses upon completion of the renovation works) without the appropriate procedures set forth in the RPF 7. The issue was remedied through a due diligence report including a short RAP as outlined in the RPF and verification (through interviews) that the APs had been appropriately treated and compensated. The final external monitoring report confirmed that RAP implementation was satisfactorily completed. The Resettlement and Social Completion Report confirmed that all APs had their living standards restored after implementation, including compensation for the affected land and houses, compliant with the provincial regulations and higher than the RAP. Sample survey results showed that incomes after resettlement were 145.3% of incomes before resettlement. Some 114 persons were interviewed for Project construction satisfaction with a satisfaction rate of 92%. Total cost for land acquisition and resettlement compensation was 5.9 million RMB. Some project villages such has Shidong, Wubao, and Zhanliu experienced increases in compensation expenditures due to subsequent Project delays and demands of AP; however, both the PPMO and Bank ensured that appropriate measures were taken. Fiduciary Compliance. Procurement (Rating: Moderately Satisfactory). Weak capacity of the procurement agents and local design institutes responsible for bid document preparation resulted in delays in the first two years of implementation when capacity was weak. Much of this time was spent on preparing detailed designs of village infrastructure and facilities at the natural heritage sites. Furthermore, there were questions regarding the efficiency of the shopping procurement procedure early on. In some early contracts, there were issues with procurement, which were adequately remedied through revised procurement methodologies during restructuring (see Section I-B). With close Bank supervision and regular post reviews, the Project complied satisfactorily with Bank procurement policies in the latter half of implementation. Financial Management (FM) (Rating: Moderately Satisfactory). Appropriate FM arrangements were put in place to meet the Bank’s FM related requirements. Project audit reports were provided for the entire implementation period. During implementation, auditors and the Bank FM expert raised issues, such as ineffective project management, inefficient project performance, and minor cases of overpayment and irregular contract variations, which were appropriately remedied. Stemming from the procurement delays and issues with counterpart fund shortages, the disbursement lags occurred early in the Project. Counterpart fund shortage issues were eventually remedied through close cooperation. At MTR, disbursement projections were adjusted to reflect the extension of the closing date and use of non-Bank financing. Audits were conducted by independent auditors satisfactory to Bank requirements. The later phases of the Project were carried out satisfactorily in compliance with Bank fiduciary policies, with audit reports receiving unqualified “clean” opinions and the loan amount of US$ 60 million was fully disbursed at loan closing. 7The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) for the Project clarifies that people temporarily resettled for renovation work are to be treated as affected persons, who should receive appropriate compensation, and that a resettlement plan (if there are more than 200 affected persons) or a short resettlement plan should be prepared, reviewed by the Bank, and disclosed prior to commencing the renovation work. Page 26 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) C. BANK PERFORMANCE Quality at Entry Rating: Moderately Unsatisfactory. The Bank took extra time and effort in Project preparation, with an official preparation period of three years from concept in April 2007 to approval in May 2009. Fully acknowledging the regional and sectoral context in Guizhou as well as the complexities and sensitivities around ethnic minority related tourism and investments, the Project design was considered along with implementation arrangements and appropriate environmental and social safeguard measures. Nevertheless, there were several shortcomings with the original Project Design at Entry, as detailed in Section III-A, suggesting that the Project may have benefited from a more refined Project design including the PDO, results framework, components, and implementation arrangements. FM assessment at appraisal appropriately identified Project design weakness, highlighting the lack of experience of PMO/PIUs with Bank-financed projects and rating FM risk as high. However, after mitigation measures (including training sessions by the Bank), FM risk was ultimately downgraded to substantial. Similarly, procurement capacity assessments addressed the procurement risk as high, identifying the weaknesses of PMO/PIUs including i) insufficient experienced staff for procurement, ii) lack of procurement knowledge and procedure for Bank-financed projects, and iii) insufficient staff for project management and contract administration. Corrective measures were communicated to the PPMO, including i) recruiting of PPMO staff with experience of procurement and construction management for similar projects, ii) preparation of procurement manual, iii) employment of experienced design institutes to provide engineering designs and prepare technical requirements for bidding documents, iv) employment of international consultants to provide TA for project management, and v) procurement trainings provided by the Bank. Despite the FM and procurement risks and mitigation measures identified during preparation, the Project experienced a slow implementation start, and the Project may have benefitted from a more stringent assessment with more mitigation measures, including enhanced Bank assistance to capacitate implementing agencies. Quality of Supervision Rating: Satisfactory. During the eight years of Project implementation, between September 2009 to June 2017, the Bank undertook thirteen implementation support missions, consisting of a well-rounded mix of skills and experiences. The Bank team provided timely instructions to the PMOs on World Bank procedures, reviews, comments, approval of bid documents, and supervision. The Bank team provided strong supervision input by addressing implementation challenges and remedial measures with candor and detail, appropriately flagging management and technical issues, as well as fiduciary and safeguard risks (see Section IV-B). Early challenges (see Section III-B) were quickly identified and addressed by both the Bank and PPMO at an early stage of the Project. By the second implementation support mission and implementation status and results report (ISR) in March 2011, the implementation progress (IP) was downgraded to moderately satisfactory, and by the third ISR in February 2012 to unsatisfactory. Similarly, slow progress toward the PDO due to implementation delays and attribution issues (see Section II-B) were flagged early in the Project. The DO was downgraded to moderately satisfactory in the third ISR and to unsatisfactory in the fourth ISR in December 2012. The Bank held a QER before the MTR mission to discuss issues and possible restructuring options and hired one of its top Cultural Heritage experts to join the MTR mission to provide feedback. By the MTR in January 2013, proactive measures to restructure the Project to revise the PDO/KPIs and scale back the Project were agreed upon. The PDO was revised to ensure that the Project outcomes were coherently attributable to Project activities and outputs, and that CPMOs would be able to collect the required monitoring data. On July 8, 2014, the Board provided a no objection to the RP dated June 27, 2014. The restructuring process took 18 months from Page 27 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) MTR to the Board’s no objection due to lengthy delays in Government approvals, during which disbursements jumped from US$ 10.33 million (17.2% at MTR) to US$ 27.49 million (45.8% at RP) (see Section III-B). In the meantime, strong coordination between the Bank, PPMO, and CPMOs on implementing remedial measures allowed the IP to recover to moderately satisfactory by November 2013. By July 2014, both the DO and IP were rated satisfactory, and the ratings remained satisfactory for the following six ISRs until loan closing. The successful turn-around of the Project can be attributed to the high quality of supervision, as well as the commitment and coordination from the Bank and the PMOs. The Bank’s management was fully involved (including the Regional Vice President, Country Director, Sector Manager, etc.) to expedite restructuring and the CMU provided significant support in the process 8 . All Project components except for the Danzhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Center (see Section III-B) were successfully completed and operational at Project sites before loan closuring. Staff training was given high priority to ensure a smooth transition to regular operations and staff were well equipped with the necessary skills to operate and maintain the facilities as well as sustain its cultural and natural heritage protection. Justification of Overall Rating of Bank Performance Rating: Satisfactory. While the Project faced a slow start due to quality at entry issues and weak capacity, the Bank followed implementation progress closely and addressed institutional and technical challenges with remedial measures early on. The Bank worked closely with the PMOs, providing diverse technical expertise and timely responses. Furthermore, the Bank took proactive measures to expedite the MTR and restructuring to ensure the PDO was better defined and attributable to Project activities. Such commitment and coordination efforts contributed to the Project’s success. D. RISK TO DEVELOPMENT OUTCOME Rating: Substantial. The Project achieved, and in many cases exceeded its development objectives. In terms of cultural and natural heritage protection, the VCGs and the experiences gained from the rehabilitation and conservation of traditional private houses and demonstration houses, continue to be utilized by planning and tourism bureaus as well as minority villages and ancient towns. Improved basic infrastructure and skills trainings fostered tourism development in the area and likely improved living standards of the beneficiaries. Based on trends toward successful tourism development in the region, the Project’s economic progress is should be sustainable. However, the following risks are noted. O&M Capacity Risk for Infrastructure and Facilities (Rating: Moderate). Despite staff training efforts and increased capacities, the Project sites may not be maintained adequately or managed efficiently. LGs may not be able to provide adequate funding to operate and maintain the basic infrastructure, tourism infrastructure, scenic/natural parks, and tourist centers developed under the Project. Minority villages, which own and maintain their infrastructure and facilities, may not have sufficient resources to sustain O&M. Tourism facilities (including tourist information centers, training centers, museum, and scenic/natural parks) may not be efficiently operated due to weak budget/revenue sources, staff training, and marketing measures. Furthermore, homeowners may not have the funding or ability to maintain the houses renovated under the Project. Mitigation measures, including the long- term O&M plans with adequate budget/revenue sources should be considered. Risk of Natural Disasters (Rating: Substantial). Guizhou is prone to natural disasters including heavy rain, flooding, 8In 2013, the burn rate of the Bank Budget was 228%, signifying that the Bank committed significant amount of staff time to support the Project restructuring. Page 28 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) and landslides. In 2016, construction was temporarily suspended on the Leishan tourist information center due to the Bala River basin flood, which also destroyed parts of the completed facilities in Danzhai. Heavier than normal seasonal rain in 2016 is likely responsible for the drop of tourist numbers at the Shanmu River Scenic Park, mainly known for seasonal rafting. Similar natural disasters may increase the costs of O&M for tourism facilities and reduce the number of tourists visiting Project sites. Risk of Excessive Visitor Numbers Impacting Projects Sites (Rating: High). As Section II-C indicates, visitor numbers in the region have grown exponentially, with Wenfenglin and Langde Upper Village observing over 300% of the projected annual visits in 2016. Based on the current success rate of tourism development in the region, excessive visitor numbers may have a negative impact on project sites, including the degradation of the surrounding natural environment caused by increased traffic congestion, increased volumes of waste and waste water, and pollution. However, successful tourism growth also provides opportunities for stronger revenues streams which may allow for better O&M to ensure sustainability of investments if agencies plan and prepare accordingly. Sustainability measures, including activities to raise awareness of cultural and natural heritage protection to tourists, monitoring environmental indicators, and implementing mitigation measures (such as limiting the number of visitors per day, promoting awareness in brochures and public education, “pack-it-in pack-it-out” measures to reduce waste, etc.) may be considered. Risks Pertaining to Rapid Private Sector Development (Rating: High). As detailed in Section II-E, there are substantial private sector financed infrastructure and facilities being developed in the region. There is a risk that the cultural and natural heritage protection efforts of the Project may lose focus due to rapid commercial development and potential gentrification. The private sector financed infrastructure and facilities may also not be adequately maintained. It is important the provincial and LGs work closely to ensure that appropriate building standards and O&M plans are applied to private sector endeavors. Furthermore, it is important to ensure that pressures from commercial businesses and potential gentrification do not negatively impact local businesses and ethnic minority communities. V. LESSONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Lessons learned and recommendations for future projects are summarized below. Building Project Ownership Through CBD and Block Grant Programs. Considering the complexity and sensitivity around ethnic minority related tourism and investments, the Project emphasized the importance of a community- led approach throughout implementation to facilitate broad village discussions, develop consensus on the level and type of investment activities, and maximize the benefits accrued by the local communities. While the lack of experience with implementing such participatory processes led to the Project’s slow start, the CBD processes utilized to develop VCGs and the Block Grant Programs for traditional house renovations and intangible cultural protection and preservation activities allowed the communities to be engaged in their own development and heritage conservation. The OMCP and Work Methods developed under the TA were adjusted and simplified based on actual issues encountered during implementation to ensure that community participation could be better operated and scaled-up in the region. The community-led approach and processes introduced by the Project have been widely accepted and utilized in other non-Bank funded projects in the Region. Emphasizing the Importance of Soft-Components in Heritage Protection and Development. Capacity building, skills training, knowledge sharing, and participative processes were valuable accomplishments of the Project. At all Page 29 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) institutional levels, the Project contributed not only to improving management skills, but also to helping implementing agencies understand international cultural and natural heritage conservation concepts and technologies. At a community level, villages were empowered through open lectures, village-to-village visits for knowledge exchange, and participatory CBD approaches to planning and implementation. At beneficiary level, individuals were empowered through special and practical skills training, which helped improve their living conditions and awareness of cultural heritage conservation. With the support of the Bank (and UNESCO’s recognition), Guizhou’s exemplary efforts in protecting cultural and natural heritage, improving basic infrastructure, and fostering tourism development, have been shared with international and domestic institutions and governments in various south-south style knowledge sharing events. Consolidating Smaller and Scattered Contracts into Sizeable Contract Packages. At loan closing, a total of 103 contract packages had been successfully procured and completed for a loan of $60 million. In many cases, contracts were too small and detailed, leading to difficulties in attracting qualified design institutes and increasing management costs. Furthermore, the wide geographical spread of the CPLGs, CPMOs, PIUs, and VSGs made Project coordination and management challenging, including the logistics related to routine site visits for supervision and bid opening. While the specific procurement methods were selected to allow local communities a stronger sense of ownership and control of the investments, ensuring a balance between maximizing local benefits while achieving efficiency in implementation is critical. Future contracts may be packaged or bundled into appropriate sizes to attract competitive bidders and decrease management costs, including the cost-related challenges inherent in implementing and supervising a Project with a wide geographical scope. Addressing Institutional Readiness in Project Preparation and Design (Including Institutional Capacity, Counterpart Fund Commitment/Availability, and Master Plan Approval). The Project experienced implementation delays due to i) implementing agencies’ (PLGs, PMOs, PIUs and VSGs) weak capacity and inexperience with Bank Project procedures and requirements; ii) counterpart fund shortages stemming from limited financial resources at the LG level; and iii) changes in city and tourism master plans, which caused uncertainties over Project sites and prolonged approval processes. Future Project preparation and design should be based on a rigorous assessment of institutional readiness of participating LGs, including institutional capacity, counterpart financing risks, and status of master plans and other relevant plans/regulations. One method may be to phase subprojects based on the institutional readiness of LGs (for example: first batch of subprojects for LGs that have met all institutional readiness criteria, second batch for LGs missing a few criteria but in the process of achieving them on their own, third batch for LGs requiring capacity building support via TA). This will allow for a more accurate implementation and disbursement schedule and identify the capacity development needs at an early stage. Another way to minimize institutional readiness risks is limiting the number of subprojects to only to LGs with realistic counterpart funding plans and approved master plans, however, this will work against disadvantaged and impoverished communities, and requires thorough assessment. Designing a Strong Results Chain and M&E Plan Capable of Tracking All Proposed Benefits in the PDO. The original PDO efficacy suffered due to shortcomings in indicator/data availability to prove the relationship between Project activities (such as the construction works and trainings) and the outcomes (increased economic benefits in the Project areas). Future Projects should include tracer studies and beneficiary satisfaction surveys to prove that i) local and ethnic minority beneficiaries were indeed targeted, and ii) special and practical skills training led to increased jobs and incomes. .

EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS The Project was designed to increase economic benefits to local communities by i) protecting cultural and natural heritage, ii) improving basic infrastructure, and iii) fostering tourism development. The Project generated a variety of project beneficiaries, including, local ethnic minorities, local communities and governments, domestic and international tourists, and tourism related industries in Project areas. As identified at appraisal, the economic benefits of the Project were associated with local economic development and increases in income resulting from tourism activities, cultural heritage protection and development, natural ecosystems conservation, local special and practical skills enhancement, institutional strengthening, and improvement of living standards and environmental health resulting from improvements in basic infrastructure. Economic benefits from the Project included direct use benefits, both monetized and non-monetized benefits, observed by both local communities and tourists. Monetized benefits were mainly those with cash returns to local residents or other services providers in the form of admission fees from cultural/natural heritage sites or increased net revenues from tourism related goods and services (such as cultural shows, foods, accommodation, parking, souvenir, and handicraft sales). Some of these economic benefits were easy to quantify, such as admissions fees or other tourism fees and taxes, while others, such as those associated with increased or improved provision of services, were harder to estimate. It was also recognized that, to a visitor, the value of enjoying cultural heritage was usually larger than the amount of actual (monetized) expenditures of the visitor. The Project generated such direct non-monetized “extra benefits,” also known as consumer’s surplus, to both visitors and residents. Other economic benefits included indirect use benefits, such as the ecological and environmental improvements provided by improved natural heritage preservation. Such indirect use benefits were observed by both local residents and tourists, as well as others farther downstream. Furthermore, some economic benefits took the form of non-use values, which do not involve directly using or visiting the site in any way. For example, some people appreciate the existence of ethnic minority culture and are willing to pay for its existence, even if they may never plan to visit it. Such benefits were not directly monetized and were difficult to value. In the cost-benefit analysis of selected sites at appraisal stage, surveys of willingness to pay (WTP) for cultural preservation by both tourists and residents were conducted to quantify the extra economic values 9 . The various economic benefits identified at appraisal remained unchanged at ICR. A combination of cost-effectiveness approach and cost-benefit analysis was used in the economic analysis. Cost- effectiveness approach was used to ensure that least-cost options were adopted at project design to achieve the development goals. In the design of the investment components, especially those providing basic infrastructure to local communities for the protection of cultural and natural heritages and tourism promotion, guidelines for lower cost infrastructure options were followed in the selection of design and technical alternatives (including construction materials, technical standards (such as the width of access roads and hiking trails), technologies) to ensure the use of least-cost options for each construction selected in the project design process. Cost-benefit analyses were performed on four representative Project components to quantify economic benefits, 9 Note that it was not just visitors who enjoyed the consumer surplus but local residents also received an increase in their consumers surplus due to the Project. The WTP survey results of local residents captured the value of economic benefits to local residents, generated form the Project through improved tourism infrastructure and local living conditions. Page 47 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) examine the economic justification of the representative components, and help illustrate the economic viability of the entire Project. The four representative sites were: Wanfenglin Scenic Area, Anshun Jiuzhou Ancient Town, Langde Miao Ethnic Cultural Village, and Zhaoxin Tong Ethnic Cultural Village. The cost-benefit analysis conducted at appraisal quantified only the direct use benefits to visitors and local residents. Other identified benefits, while equally important, were not included due to limitations on data and time constraints to conduct the analysis. Therefore, the results were conservative as they included the full economic costs of the Project components analyzed, while only some of the economic benefits generated from the Project were included. Applying the same valuation methods as at appraisal, the cost-benefit analysis was conducted for the four representative sites at ICR. To be consistent with the appraisal-phase EIRR calculations, the same WTP values obtained from the survey at appraisal in 2007 were used. However, the WTP values were adjusted for 2016, as net income level of tourists and local residents rose from 2007 to 2016, subsequently increasing their WTP. The WTP values at ICR was calculated as 190% of 2007 survey results, according to the net increase in per-capita urban disposal income (at average 253% of 2007 level) minus cumulative official inflation rates (at 133% of 2007 level) from 2007 to 2016. The assumptions of tourist projection and average on-site expenses of visitors (including admission fees and other expenses on foods and souvenirs) were adjusted based on actual data available from the Project construction and implementation years in order to capture and evaluate the real results of the Project. The EIRR calculations of each of the four sites are detailed below. Wanfenglin Scenic Area in Xingyi City, Qian Xinan Prefecture (Southwest) Same as at appraisal, the direct economic benefits of the Project at this site were mainly the incremental increase in tourism revenues from admission fees and extra “economic rents” generated from tourism goods and services including accommodation, food, parking, and souvenir and handcrafts sales. The indirect benefits included the extra non-monetized values of natural and cultural heritage protection to visitors (exceeding what they have paid) and local residents, i.e., consumer’s surplus of tourists and residents. Tourist number and growth rate. The number of tourist visits in the scenic park was about 90,000 in 2007. In 2016, the number of tourist visits in the scenic park reached about 1 million, which represented an astonishing average rate of increase at 31% annually between 2007-2016. The economic analysis at ICR assumed that the annual growth rate of tourist visits would smoothly descend to 15% during 2017-2020, 10% during 2021-2022 (as a high-speed rail is planned for operation in 2020) and 5% during 2023-31. It was also assumed that 10% of the increase in tourist numbers was attributable to the Project and the remaining 90% attributable to other tourism-development investments (as Bank Project investments amounted to about 10% of total tourism investments from 2008-2016 in the Wanfenglin area). Admission fee and other net tourism earnings. At appraisal, the average cost per visitor was 82 RMB and the scenic park admission fee for sightseeing, rafting, and other activities was expected to be raised by 20 RMB upon completion of the Project. It was assumed that 75% visitors to the area would enter the park and pay the admission fee. According to local statistics, visitors also paid on average 103 RMB per person for their accommodation, food and shopping in the park area, which generated a net tourism income of about 21 RMB per person to the city. At ICR, the average admission fee per visitor was 130 RMB and is expected to remain the same. It was assumed that 45% visitors to the area would enter the park and pay the admission fee. According to local surveys in early 2017, visitors also paid on average 110 RMB (2007 price) per person for their local accommodation, food and shopping in Page 48 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) the park area, which generated a net tourism income of about 22 RMB per person to the city in 2007 price. Consumer’s surplus. At appraisal, the WTP survey in the scenic park showed that 31% of tourists have a WTP an average of 24.2 RMB for the protection of the natural and cultural heritages of the park area. This was additional to the admission fees and other on-site expense already paid by visitors. At ICR, the WTP values were adjusted to 45.9 RMB (190% of the WTP values from the surveys conducted in 2007) based on the net income increase of tourists from 2007 to 2016. Costs. At appraisal, the total fixed capital investment was 80.5 million RMB. The incremental O&M cost was about 5.2 million RMB per year from 2012 onwards. At ICR, the total fixed capital investment was 48.8 million RMB with an incremental O&M cost of about 1.8 million RMB per year from 2017 onwards. The share of the Bank Project investments was 10% of the total tourism-related investments (which amounted to a total of 474 million RMB so far (including the Bank Project investments which accounts to about 10% of the total investment during the period of 2009-16). The 10% share was used in the estimation of the economic benefits of the Project in Wanfengling area. The results of the economic analysis at ICR showed an EIRR of 17.8%, which is higher than the EIRR of 13.7% at appraisal. The higher EIRR of Wanfenglin at ICR was mainly due to the fact that the site became a popular tourist destination as the result of Project investments and other tourism development investments by the government. The number of actual tourist visit in Wanfenglin was much higher than the number projected at appraisal. The component therefore achieved its economic targets. Table Annex 4.1 EIRR Calculations for Wanfenglin A sensitivity analysis was conducted for two scenarios, i) 10% decrease in projected growth rate of tourist visits and ii) 10% increase in incremental variable cost, as they may be key parameters effecting the final results of the analysis. Results of the sensitivity analysis below show that the Project would still yield an EIRR of 15.6% under the combined scenarios. Therefore, the Project component would remain economically justified and robust. Table Annex 4.2 Sensitivity Analysis for Wanfenglin EIRR 17.8% 10% decrease in tourist growth rate 16.3% Page 49 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) 10% increase in investment costs 17.6% Combined 16.1% Non-monetized benefits excluded 15.6% Jiuzhou Town, Anshun City Tourist number and growth rate. At appraisal, there were few visitors to Juizhou Town and it was assumed that the number of tourist visits would gradually grow to 50,000 in 2011. In the economic analysis, it was assumed that the annual growth rate of tourist visits would be 15% during 2009-2015, 10% during 2016-2025, and 5% during 2026- 31, which meant an average of 830 visitors per day in 2031. At ICR, the number of tourist visits in the scenic park reached 1.2 million person-visits in 2016, which represented an astonishing rate of growth of 49% annually during 2007-16. In the economic analysis, it was assumed that the annual growth rate of tourist visits would be 15% during 2017-2019, 10% during 2020-2025, and 5% during 2026-31. Admission fee and other net tourism earnings. At appraisal, an admission fee of 50 RMB was expected upon the completion of the Project and it was assumed that 50% of visitors would pay the fee. In addition, it was anticipated that visitors would spend 89 RMB per person for accommodation, food and shopping in the town, which would generate a net tourism income of about 17.8 RMB per visitor for the local community. At ICR, no admission fees were collected. In order to attract more tourists, the free access policy is expected to remain with plans to collect admission fees in the future. According to local surveys in early 2017, visitors also paid on average 115 RMB (2007 price) per person for their accommodation, food and shopping in the town area, which generated a net tourism income of about 23 RMB to the city in 2007 price. Consumer’s surplus. No WTP survey on visitors was conducted at appraisal because there were only few visitors in the town at the time. Although 85% of local residents had WTP for the Project at an average of 27.8 RMB per person per year, non-monetized values were not included in the analysis. At ICR, the WTP values were adjusted higher to 52.8 RMB based on the net income increase of tourists from 2007 to 2016. Costs. At appraisal, the total fixed capital investment was 27.25 million RMB with an incremental O&M cost of about 2.0 million RMB per year. At ICR, the total fixed capital investment was 27.30 million RMB with as incremental O&M cost of about 2.5 million RMB per year. The share of the Bank Project investment in total tourism-related investments in Jiuzhou was about 20%. A total of 135 million RMB (including the WB funds) was invested in Jiuzhou since the Project inception. Based on project costs, estimated admission fees, economic rents from other activities and WTP estimates, the EIRR of the Project component at appraisal was 10.1%. At ICR, the EIRR was 19.1%. The Project component achieved higher outcomes than that project at appraisal. The much significantly higher EIRR at ICR is because the town became a popular tourist destination as the result of Project investments and other tourism development investments by the government. Table Annex 4.3 EIRR Calculations for Jiuzhou Page 50 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) Langde Upper Village Miao Cultural Heritage, Leishan County, Qian Dongnan Prefecture Langde Upper Village’s tourism activities began in 1990s and the village has attracted visitors for its Miao cultural heritages since then. It was estimated that the village attracted about 79,600 visitors in 2006, with a growth rate of 15.2% per year between 2001-2006, primarily due to strong marketing efforts. However, as the tourist carrying capacity of the small village was limited, it was anticipated that the rapid growth rate would not be sustained in the long run. At appraisal, it was assumed that future growth rates of tourist visits would be controlled at 10% per year during 2009-2019, and 5% per year for the remainder of the period. It was further assumed that the Project would contribute to only half of the growth of tourism during the period. Tourist number and growth rate. The actual number of visitors in 2016 was 520,000, a number higher than the projected 170,600 at appraisal. At ICR, a conservative assumption was made and future growth rates tourist visits were controlled at 15% in 2017 (the first operational year after the completion of the Bank funded Project), 10% per year during 2018-2019, and 5% per year for the remaining of the period. It was further assumed that the Project would contribute to only 1 % of the growth of tourism during the period as a total of 400 million RBM (including about 4 million RMB for the Bank Project) had been invested in Langde Upper Village since Project inception. Direct tourism earnings. The main source of Project benefits was measured by the admission fees collected from visitors. Based on data provided by the LG and community, the admission fee in 2008 was about 60 RMB per visitor and about 90% of visitors paid the fee. At ICR, the entrance fee was raised by 20 RMB after the completion of Project construction in 2017. According to local surveys conducted in early 2017, visitors also paid on average 60 RMB (2007 price) per person for their accommodation, food and shopping in the village area, which generated a net tourism income of about 12 RMB to the city in 2007 price. Only a small portion of these expenditures were included in the analysis. Based on the assumption that the existence of the Project allowed vendors and servicers to charge more, it was assumed that 20% of expenditures formed the “economic rent/ excess profit” contributions of the Project. The 20% was included in the analysis as an economic benefit of the Project. Consumer’s surplus. At appraisal, the WTP survey in Langde showed that 77% of tourists had a WPT an average of 10.7 RMB for the protection of the cultural heritage of the village, which was additional to the visitor’s admission fee. At ICR, the WTP values were adjusted higher to 20.3 RMB (190% of values from the surveys conducted at Page 51 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) appraisal) based on the net income increase of tourists from 2007 to 2016. Costs. The total capital investment was 3.86 million RMB with an incremental O&M cost of about 0.30 million RMB per year from the year 2017 onwards. The EIRR at ICR was 17.5%, as presented in the table below. The lower EIRR of Langde Miao Village at ICR was partly due to the success of its neighboring Xijiang Miao Village (which was also part of the Bank Project but not included in the economic analysis at appraisal), which has attracted and diverted tourists from Langde to Xijiang. Furthermore, the lower EIRR at ICR is partially due to the amount of other tourism-related government investments (mainly in building new entrances of the villages, roads and other infrastructure facilities surrounding the site) which was much higher than the anticipated amount at appraisal. The lower share of Bank investment compared to the total investment was reflected in the lower share of total economic benefits. Despite the lower EIRR, the EIRR at ICR was above 10% and considered satisfactory. Table Annex 4.4 EIRR Calculations for Langde Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Cultural Village, Liping County, Qiandongnan Prefecture The Project economic benefits for Zhaoxing village were measured by admission fees, net tourism earnings, consumer’s surplus of visitors, and the WTP value of local residents for improving their living and environmental conditions. Tourist number and growth rate. The village attracted about 100,000 visits in 2008, and 1,090,000 visits in 2016, with an average growth rate of 35% per year from 2008 to 2016. A conservative assumption was made and future growth rates tourist visits were controlled at 15% per year in 2017, descending from 8% to 3% per year for the remaining period. It was further assumed that the Project contributed to 4% of the projected growth during this period, as a total of 277 million RMB (including the Bank Project investments) has been invested in Zhaoxing village since Project inception. Direct tourism earnings. The main source of the benefits for the Project were measured by the admission fees collected from visitors. Based on data provided by the LG and community, the average admission fee for entrance Page 52 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) and cultural show at appraisal was about 100 RMB per visitor and about 20% of visitors paid the fees. The fee level remained the same at ICR. According to local surveys conducted in early 2017, an average visitor spent another 100 RMB (in 2007 price) on site for accommodation, food, souvenirs and handicrafts. Consumer’s surplus. At appraisal, the WTP survey in Zhaoxing showed that 14% of tourists had WTP an average of 44 RMB for the protection of the cultural heritage of the village in addition to the visitor’s admission fees. At ICR, the WTP values were adjusted higher to 84 RMB (190% of values from the surveys conducted at appraisal) based on the net income increase of tourists from 2007 to 2016. Project costs. The total capital investment was 10.69 million yuan with incremental O&M cost of about 0.20 million RMB per year from the year 2017 onwards. The EIRR at was 12.6% at appraisal and 12.4% at ICR. The results of the ICR economic analysis are presented in the table below. The lower EIRR at ICR is partially due to the amount of other tourism-related government investments (mainly in building new entrances of the villages and roads surrounding the site), which was much higher than the anticipated amount at appraisal, lowering the share of the Bank investment in total investment as well as the share in total economic benefits. While the EIRR at ICR is lower than that at appraisal, the EIRR was above 10% and considered satisfactory. Table Annex 4.5 EIRR Calculations for Zhaoxing Results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the Project component was economically justified and robust. Sensitivity analysis assuming a 10% reduction in visitor number and a 10% increase in incremental variable cost further showed that the EIRR was above 8% and the Project result was robust. Therefore, the analysis concluded that the Project economic objectives were largely achieved and Project implementation was satisfactory. Table Annex 4.6 Sensitivity Analysis for Zhaoxing EIRR 12.4% 10% decrease in tourist growth rate 11.0% 10% increase in investment costs 12.2% Page 53 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) Combined 10.8% Non-monetized benefits excluded 8.4% Conclusion The EIRRs of the four Project components at appraisal and ICR are summarized in the table below. While the EIRR of two of four representative project sites at project completion were lower than that at appraisal, based on the ongoing trend of successful tourism development in the region, the Project’s economic objectives will be achieved, and the economic efficiency of the Project is substantial. Table Annex 4.7 Sensitivity Analysis for Zhaoxing Wanfenglin Jiuzhou Langde Zhaoxin Appraisal 13.7% 10.2% 19.6% 12.6% ICR 17.8% 19.1% 17.5% 12.4% As the project investment costs were shouldered by LGs, the project did not cause additional tariffs or tax increases on local residents. The project particularly benefited the poor regions and populations, mostly in the minority villages, through enhanced values of their cultural and natural heritages, increased income generated from tourism, and improved living standard of local residents. To ensure that project revenues were fairly shared among local residents, a participatory CBD approach was employed in project implementation. Furthermore, as explained in Section II-B, while not entirely attributable to the project, incomes of ethnic minority villages improved significantly after project launch. Administrative Efficiency: The final total Project cost, including interest during construction, is estimated at US$94.85 million, which is about 105.58% of the estimated cost of US$89.84 million at appraisal. The slight cost increase was mainly due to i) exchange rate fluctuations, ii) minor changes in Project activities, iii) increased final contract prices due to project variations and delays, and iv) increase in construction and project management costs associated with the long implementation period and one year extension. The restructuring extended the loan closing date by one year, and the Project incurred costs associated to the extension including i) extra Bank Budget for an extra year or supervision, ii) extra PMU staff-months and office space; iii) extra audit, and d) extra year of project management costs.

SOCIAL SAFEGUARD IMPLEMENTATION Resettlement Policy and Framework. Land Acquisition and Resettlement (LAR) under the Project was implemented according to the relevant laws, regulations and policies of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and LGs, as well as the Asia Development Bank’s (ADB) requirements on involuntary resettlement. The laws and regulations included: (i) State Council Document 28 of No. 31: State Council Decision to Deepen Reform and Strictly Enforce Land Administration (October, 2004); (ii) Implementation Stipulations of Land Administration Law of PRC (1998); (iii) Agreed Annual Yields Standard and Integrated Land Price for Land Acquisition in Guizhou Province, approved by Guizhou Municipal Government (Guizhou Municipal Government (2009) No.255). LAR Institutional Arrangements. The Guizhou Provincial Project Leading Group (PLG), headed by the Vice Governor of Guizhou was been established to provide policy, financial and institutional guidance on the Project. The PPMO was established under the GTB for overall project coordination and management. The PPMO was responsible for developing annual work plans, preparing consolidated project progress and financial reports for Bank review, and monitoring overall implementation progress and project impacts. PMOs were also established at the municipal/prefectural and county-level tourism bureaus. These PMOs were in charge of guiding and managing the preparation and implementation of project subcomponents under their jurisdiction and coordinating day-to-day activities with the PPMO. County-level PMOs had the overall responsibility to manage implementation of village- level activities, and were directly responsible for the implementation of the grant programs for private houses conservation and rehabilitation and intangible heritage protection and preservation (items (c) and (d) of the Ethnic Minority Cultural Heritage Protection component). The PIUs were mainly prefectural and county-level tourism bureaus. The PPMO and the Guizhou Normal University (GNU) were responsible for implementing the Capacity Building and Implementation Support component and the Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development Center subcomponent, respectively. Eleven subcomponents in 17 minority villages under the Ethnic Minority Cultural Heritage Protection component were implemented through the CBD approach. County-level PMOs had the overall responsibility for fund management and procurement, while the minority villages decided and implemented all village-level activities, including the selection of: infrastructure packages; rehabilitation and conservation of unique and historic traditional buildings; and beneficiaries for grant programs for rehabilitation and conservation of private houses, and intangible cultural heritage protection. The Community Project Management Group (CPMG), a representative village organization in each village, was the main agency to coordinate activities in the village. The CPMG identified and determined each activity to be carried out in the village through a process of consultation with villagers to reflect their needs and priorities. Village Committees, Village Supervision Groups (VSG), and Village Implementation Groups (VIG) were involved in such processed. Prior to project implementation, villagers were organized into different VIGs, such as Village Tourism Association, Construction Team, Arts and Crafts Association, and Senior Citizens Association based on the needs of each village. To provide support the such village efforts, the Project provided community coordinators/facilitators for community mobilization and guidance, and technical specialists to help develop designs for conservation of traditional buildings and environments in minority villages. This organizational arrangement ensured maximum community participation in Project activities, and technical support to villages. Land Occupied Under the Project. 993.1 mu of land was occupied under the Project, including acquisition of 149.8 mu of collective-owned land (accounted for 15.1%), utilization of 676.8 mu of collective-owned land through other methods of land leasing (accounted for 68.2%), and utilization of 166.5 mu of state-owned land (accounted for Page 64 The World Bank CN-Guizhou Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection and Development ( P091950 ) 16.7%). Land acquisition affected 415 households in total, including 245 households of ethnic minorities (accounted for 59%) and 170 households of Han people (accounted for 41%). Occupation of land in the Resettlement Plan (RP) was 1445.53 mu and the actual occupation of land was 68.7% of the RP. The comparison of planned and actual land are shown in Table Annex 8.1. Changes were due to: i) the previous research and planning being not deep enough and ii) the plan/proposal being adjusted during course of implementation.

Taijiang County demolished the judicial office and police station, and relocated some staff from staff dormitory with a total area of 2,000 m2. 1 house was demolished for the renovation of Family Liu’s ancestral hall, affecting 7 households (which were auxiliary structures, with a total area of 306.62 m2). The size and quality of resettlement houses were much larger and higher than the original houses. While 1,064 households with a total area of 17,736 m2 were planned for demolishment in the RP, the actual demolition area was 17.9% of the RP plan. The large difference was due to implementation plan adjustments. The comparisons of planned and actual housing areas and resettlement are shown in Table Annex 8.2 and Table Annex 8.3.

All affected households received compensation and participated in tourism programs (such as agri-tourism inns, arts and crafts, tourism stores, etc.) to enable them to obtain sustainable incomes. The incomes of the APs have recovered and the incomes after resettlement was 145.3% of incomes before resettlement, as shown in the sample survey results (Table Annex 8.4). 114 persons were interviewed for Project construction satisfaction, and the satisfaction rate was 92% with a basic satisfaction rate of 8% (Table Annex 8.).

The amount of land acquisition and housing demolition under the Project was relatively small. 68.15% of the occupied land were original walking paths, drainage ditches, open spaces and flood lands that were collectively owned by villagers. The result of sample surveys indicated that APs were satisfied with the compensation and that their production and living standards were improved. Compensation policies for land acquisition under the Project followed the Guizhou Province Land Acquisition Policy and the World Bank Involuntary Immigration Policies. Investigation showed that income of the APs were restored. Special importance was given to public participation throughout the process and appeal channels worked well. Project management featured innovative measures and the degree of community participation was high, with a high project construction satisfaction rate of 92%.
