Overview 1.1 Introduction to the project In October of 2014, approved by the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly promulgated the Notice on Issuing the Request for the Instructions from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance on Using the Proposal for the Alternative Projects Financed by the World Bank in 2015-2017 Fiscal Years (FGWZ.[2014]No.2284). According to the Notice, the Anhui Aged Care System Project ("the project" for short) has been included in the list of the proposed alternative projects financed by the World Bank in 2015-2017 fiscal years. The project has four components: 1) Anhui provincial comprehensive aged-care service support project, including establishment of comprehensive information system of aged-care service, establishment of the elderly capability assessment system, establishment of aged-care service standard system and training of professional talents engaged in aged-care services, etc. at provincial level; 2) community home-based aged-care service improvement project, including reconstruction and expansion (decoration and reconstruction) of 127 home-based aged-care service stations in Anqing and 34 community-based health care centers in Lu'an City, and carrying out of 2 government purchase services in Anqing and Lu'an, etc.; 3) professional nursing service provision and management enhancement project, including construction and reconstruction (decoration and renovation) of 10 community-embedded disabled and semi-disabled elderly care centers, 1 elderly activity center, 1 central kitchen and 1 intelligent health and aged-care service management center in Wuhu City, extension of 1 medical and aged-care institution in Anqing and Lu'an respectively, extension of 1 urban welfare home in Ningguo City, Xuancheng Municipality and relocation and reconstruction of 1 urban welfare home in Xuanzhou District, and reconstruction and upgrading (including reconstruction and expansion and equipment upgrading) of 35 rural nursing homes in Yongqiao District, Xiao County, Dangshan County and Lingbi County in Suzhou City; 4) project management and monitoring assessment and capacity 1 building project, including results monitoring and assessment, project management and institutional capacity building, to ensure effective implementation of the policies and procedures of the World Bank and rules of China and improvement of the project construction and management level of the PMO and project implementing agency (PIA) and thus ensure the smooth advancement and completion of the project. The total investment in the project is estimated at 1.30681 billion Yuan (or 210.77 million USD), of which 113 million USD comes from the World Bank loan and 97.77 million USD comes from the supporting funds domestically. 1.2 Information on displaced people of the project According to the requirements of the World Bank, the lenders and project owner must agree to and implement the policies for immigrant security specified by the World Bank. Only by doing so, can they participate in and engage in the loan business of the World Bank. According to the preliminary opinions of the World Bank experts, the preparers of social impact assessment reports find the following information about the migration in the project according to the field investigation: (1) The relocation and rebuilding of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home involve land acquisition and house demolition, requiring the preparation of resettlement action plan (RAP). (2) The materials offered by relevant land ministries indicate that the land for construction of new multi-functional medical building of Traditional Chinese Hospital of LuAn in Lu'an City and new nursing home for the elderly of First People’s Hospital of Anqing (interior decoration and equipment purchase) are allotted in 2015, and thus resettlement due diligence reports need to be prepared (see Due Diligence Report). At present, 306 relocation households are still in transition stage (111 households in Lu'an and 195 households in Anqing) and haven't yet moved into resettlement houses, so further supervision of resettlement work in the project is required. (3) The sub-project 2: expansion (decoration and renovation) of 127 home-based aged-care service stations in Anqing and 34 community-based health care centers in Lu'an. The locations of certain centers are not determined yet, so a resettlement policy framework (see Resettlement Policy Framework) shall be prepared, so that the project management office (PMO) can carry out relevant activities according to requirements of 2 the policy framework because although most of the area of the new center(s) determined will be on state-owned land in urban areas or collectively-owned land in rural areas, it will still likely occupy land s, houses or other assets during the implementation of project. Meanwhile, the reconstruction and expansion of sub-project 2 shall be monitored, so as to timely find out whether there are new displaced people. (4) The sub-project 3 (strengthening the professional nursing service provision and management) involves the extension of Ningguo Social Welfare Home, reconstruction of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home and upgrading and rebuilding of 35 nursing homes in Suzhou, which may influence the elderly in such homes during their implementation. To avoid and mitigate these impacts, transition plans need to be prepared (see Appendix 2) and these transitional activities need to be monitored. Therefore, the report is mainly about the RAP of relocation and reconstruction works of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home. And the monitoring of following works is added to external monitoring part of Chapter 11: the resettlement processes of new multi-functional medical building of Traditional Chinese Hospital of LuAn and new nursing home for the elderly of First People's Hospital of Anqing, reconstruction and expansion of home-based aged-care service stations in Anqing and community-based health care centers in Lu'an Community, transition plans during the implementation of Xuancheng Municipal Welfare Home and Ningguo Welfare Home and transition plans during the implementation of 35 nursing homes in Suzhou Besides, the capital budgets for these external monitoring works are filled out in chapter 7 (Resettlement Fund Budgeting and Management). 1.3 Basic information about Xuancheng City, Xuanzhou District and Xiadu Community Located to the south of the Yangtze River and north of Mt. Huang in the area where the extension of Mt. Huang in southern Anhui and the alluvial plain along the middle-and lower reaches of the Yangtze River meet, Xuancheng City has been a strategically important place in southern Anhui since ancient times. Neighboring the Liyang City and Yixing City of Jiangsu Province and the Huzhou City and Hangzhou City of Zhejiang Province in the east, Huangshan City of Anhui Province in the south, Wuhu City of Anhui Province in the west, and Nanjing City of Jiangsu Province in the 3 north, Xuancheng is 240 kilometers eastward from Hangzhou, 198 kilometers southward from Huangshan City, 194 kilometers northward from Nanjing, 76 kilometers away from Wuhu, and 213 kilometers away from Hefei (the capital city of Anhui). Located at the junction of Anhui-Jiangxi Railway and Xuancheng-Hangzhou Railway, Xuancheng is a city which Hefei-Hangzhou Expressway and China National Highway 318 (G318) run through. Construction of the Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge and G318 makes Xuancheng easily accessible by land from Hefei and Nanjing in the north, Hangzhou in the east, and Mt. Huang in the south. In addition, one can reach Wuhu directly through the waterway of the Shuiyang River. This waterway also leads to the golden waterway of the Yangtze River. Having a total area of 12,340 square kilometers and a total population of 2.742 million, Xuancheng city has jurisdiction over five counties, one prefecture-level city, and one district. Of the 2.742 million people, 1.01 million are urban residents, accounting for 37% of the total population. "One district" refers to Xuanzhou District, where Xuancheng Municipal Government is located. Having a total area of 2,533 square kilometers and a total population of 851,000, Xuanzhou District has jurisdiction over 26 townships and sub-districts. At the beginning of Qin Dynasty, it was divided into counties, one of which was "Yuanling" (Today's Xuanzhou). At the beginning of Han Dynasty, "Yuanling" was renamed as "Wanling", which was renamed as "Xuancheng" in the Sui Dynasty. Xuancheng has been a place where the government offices of commanderies, feudal states, cities, and provinces were located since ancient times. In 1987, the State Council approved the proposed change of Xuancheng County into Xuanzhou City; in 2000, Xuanzhou City was changed into Xuanzhou District. Xuanzhou is not only a nationally designated eco-demonstration pilot region, but also a nationally designated agricultural product standardization demonstration area. Rich in natural resources and known as "the land of fish and rice", Xuanzhou has over 30 kinds of mineral resources that have been proved, more than 1 million mu of forest land , 830,000 mu of farmland , and 540,000 mu of water area. Shuidong's candied dates, Jingting's Green Snow Tea, Xuanzhou District's papayas, Nanhu Lake's whitebait, Shuiyang's river crabs and freshwater shrimps, Xiangyang's Sanhuang chicken, and Huayang's mushrooms, have all been well known for a long time. Gu Xue Jian Ya (High 4 Mountain Green Tea), Qingcaohu Yellow Wine, and 18 other high-quality agricultural products have been certificated as pollution-free green food. Moreover, Xuanzhou is the largest river crab and Sanhuang chicken farming site in east China and one of China's four sites where out-of-season mushrooms are grown. Having a long history and a deeply rooted culture, Xuanzhou boasts rich natural and cultural land scapes. It has a Chinese Crocodile Lake, the largest Chinese alligator farming/research site & viewing center in the world. With regard to natural land scapes, Xuanzhou has Jingting Mountain, which is also known as a "Poetic Mountain" in the south of the Yangtze River; beautiful Gaofeng Mountain with marvelous peaks; Baijian Mountain shrouded in clouds and mists; vast Nanyi Lake; and belt-like clear Shuiyang River.

With regard to cultural land scapes, it has Longquan Temple and Jingshan Temple (famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River) in Xikou Town; Lady Chapel in Shuidong Town (the second largest chapels in east China); and Yunshan Temple in Liqiao Town. In addition, Xuanzhou has karst land scape such as in Longquan Cave, Baiyun Cave, and Shenxian (Immortals) Cave; pagoda relics such as Xietiao Tower, Longxi Tower (built in the Three Kingdoms period), Jingde Temple's pagoda (built in the Tang Dynasty), Guangjiao Temple's twin pagodas (built in the Song Dynasty), and Longshou Tower (built in the Ming Dynasty); and ancient streets and villages (built in the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties), such as the ancient street in Shuidong Town, Gongcun Village, and Xiaohu Village. As a transport hub in southern Anhui, Xuanzhou is at the junction of Anhui-Jiangxi Railway and Xuancheng-Hangzhou Railway. National Highway 318 and Hefei-Wuhu-Hangzhou Expressway run through Xuanzhou. The waterway in this city directly leads to the Yangtze River. The city's airport faces Wuhu, Hefei, and Nanjing to its north; Mt. Huang to its south; and Shanghai and Hangzhou to its east. In this city, communication, electricity, and water, along with the facilities for science, education, culture, and health, are all available. Since the beginning of the Chinese economic reform, the people of Xuanzhou have been making unremitting efforts with a pioneering spirit to make its economy stronger. 5 As a result, great progress has been made in its economic development and various undertakings. In Xuanzhou, an industrial system underpinned by the engineering, textile, medicine, and chemical industries has formed; an agricultural economy characterized by poultry breeding, the culture of special aquatic species, and the development of special forest products has taken shape; and a market system led by three markets (each worth 100 million Yuan, including the market of building materials) has come into existence. Having numerous businesses across its urban and rural areas and the orderly, thriving markets, Xuanzhou is one of the important commodity collection and distribution centers in east China. Moreover, its overall economic strength has been ranking among the top in Anhui Province for years. In 2016, Xunzhou's GDP reached 105.78 billion Yuan; its urban per capita annual disposable income stood at 30,877 Yuan; its rural per capita annual disposable income was 13,379 Yuan. Xiadu Community falls under the jurisdiction of the Xiangyang Sub-district Office of Xuanzhou District. Located in the rural-urban fringe of Xuancheng City, about 1 km southeast of the city, Xiadu Community borders Shuanghe Community in the east and Xiadu Forest Farm and Tongzigang Community in the south; it faces Aofeng Sub-district Office in the west across a river and adjoins Jichuan Sub-district Office in the north. National Highway 318, Xiangshan Road, and Xiangyang Road run through the community. Nihe River and Wanxi River provide rich water resources to the local residents. The combined dykes in the east of Xuancheng protect the safety of the community's residents and their properties from water flooding. In Xiadu Community there is a natural reserve for the Chinese alligator, which is not only an endangered species in the world but also a state-level endangered animal species. The community has a total area of 17.56 square kilometers, of which about 4,000 mu is farmland , 900 mu is mountain areas, and 650 mu is water area. The community has about 6,000 rural residents (38 groups of villagers) and 5,000 urban residents. It has the jurisdiction over New Xiadu Community, Zhongrui First Community, BiguiYuan, Huaxia YuYuan, and other urban communities. In the Xiadu Community there are Ruangong Bridge, Zhenlong Stone Arch Bridge, and Hengjian Stone Arch Bridge, all of which are more than a thousand years old and have been included in the historical and cultural heritage list. 6 2 Project Impact Analysis of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home Relocation and Reconstruction Project 2.1 Project impact definition Definitions of project impacts are as follows: “Displaced persons” refer to a group of persons affected in any of the following ways: (1) their standard of living is adversely affected; (2) their houses, land (including housing land , farmland and grassland ), and other fixed and non-fixed assets are adversely affected, or their land is occupied temporarily or permanently; (3) they have the right to use, either temporarily or permanently, productive resources that are adversely affected; or (4) their business, occupations, and working or living areas are adversely affected; as well as those defined in the “resettlement” that have to be resettled. “Replacement cost” is defined as follows: For agricultural land , it is the pre-project or pre-resettlement market value of the land with equal productive potential or use located in the vicinity of the affected land (whichever is higher), plus the cost of preparing the land to levels similar to those of the affected land and the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For houses and other structures, it is the market cost of the materials for building a replacement structure in an area and with quality similar to or better than those of the affected structure, or for repairing a partially affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building materials to the construction site, the cost of any labor and contractors’ fees, and the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. In determining the replacement cost, depreciation of the asset and the value of salvage materials are not taken into account, nor is the value of benefits to be derived from the project deducted from the valuation of an affected asset. Where standard of compensation at full replacement cost cannot be met according to domestic law, compensation under domestic law is supplemented by additional measures so as to meet the replacement cost standard. Such additional assistance is distinct from 7 resettlement measures to be provided under other clauses in OP 4.12, paragraph 6. “Land acquisition” means the involuntary loss of the ownership to, use right to or access to land of anyone due to the implementation of a project. Land acquisition may lead to a series of relevant impacts, including loss of housing and other fixed assets (enclosing walls, wells, tombs or other structures or facilities attached to such land ). “Resettlement” means the process of providing sufficient opportunities to affected persons to restore productivity, income and standard of living. Compensation for assets is usually insufficient to realize full livelihood restoration. “Cut-off date” is a date of delimitation before which the affected population identified based on title or use right is entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. The cut-off date is specified in the RAP, usually consistent with the date of census of the affected population or the date of announcement issued by local authorities (usually the resettlement office of local government of project localities in China). Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. 2.2 Project impact survey Commissioned by the Project Management Office (the "PMO" for short) of Xuanzhou District Civil Affairs Bureau, the Involuntary Resettlement Research Center of China Three Gorges University (the “Center” for short) had conducted a resettlement survey in the areas affected by the project from April to May of 2017 jointly with the workers from the Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home and the workers from the Xiadu Community Committee of Xiangyang Sub-district. The resettlement survey includes three parts: 1. Literature review a. including the social and economic statistics of Xuancheng city and the project area; b. Obtaining the information about the laws, regulations and policies of China, Anhui Province, and Xuancheng City with regard to resettlement due to land acquisition and demolition; and the information about Xuancheng's policies on resettlement entailed due to similar projects. 2. Social and economic background information survey 8 a. Basic information about the affected families, especially vulnerable families; b. Public opinions and suggestions; c. Information about the affected villages, such as population, labor, farmland , and industrial structure 3. Survey of the material objects affected by land acquisition and demolition a. Information about land acquisition/expropriation, such as the location, area, and type/use of land b. Information about the structures and land attachments to be demolished: location, use/type, quantity, and ownership; c. Categories and quantities of public facilities; Picture 1 Staffs conducting a survey of the financial conditions of the affected families In this survey, a sampling survey of the families affected by land acquisition and demolition was carried out as required by the World Bank. Basic information about the financial conditions of 6 households affected by house demolition and 14 households affected by land acquisition was obtained through the sampling survey. Information about the affected persons' opinions and suggestions on resettlement was obtained through public consultation in different communities. In addition, through the survey, the Center and relevant workers have obtained the statistics of the social and economic development of the affected areas, the information about the policies and local laws and 9 regulations on land acquisition and house demolition in the affected areas, and the information of resettlement policies for major construction projects carried out in Xuanzhou District in recent years. This survey has provided the useful information required for the preparation of the RAP. 2.3 General impact of the project According to the resettlement survey data, the Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home Relocation and Reconstruction Works has the following impact: Affected administrative units: Zhuzhuang Group and Yucun Group in the Xiadu Community of Xiangyang Sub-district in Xuanzhou District Impact of structure demolition: The demolition entailed due to the (project) components affects a total of 6 families, or 21 people; they are all from the Yucun Group. The total floor area of the structures to be demolished is 1,268.64 square meters. Impact of land acquisition: This project requires 61.35 mu permanent land acquisition, of which 60.42 mu is the area of farmland and 0.93 mu is the area of construction land (homestead). Both of the farmland and construction land are collectively owned land s, belonging to Zhuzhuang Group and Yucun Group respectively and involving 28 households (or at least 92 people). 2.4 Impact of land acquisition for the project According to the resettlement survey, the Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home Relocation and Reconstruction Works (the “Works” for short) will entail 61.35 mu permanent land acquisition. Of the 61.35mu, 42.475 mu is the area of paddy fields, 1.83mu is the area of vegetable plots, 2.96mu is the area of woodland , 1.12 mu is the area of dry land , 8.04mu is the area of ponds, 0.925 mu is the area of homestead, 0.53 mu is the area of bamboo forests, 0.07mu is the area of roads, 0.74 mu is the area of ditches, and 2.66 mu is the area of river channels. Area of the largest land acquired from one of the households is 4.77mu; area of the smallest land acquired from one of the households is 0.09 mu; area of the land acquired from different households averages 10 1.517mu per household (or less than 0.46mu per person). See table 2-2 for land acquired from different households.

The land are owned by Xiadu Community collectively and its groups - Zhuzhuang Group and Yucun Group. See table 2-3 for the land acquired from the groups.

The paddy field is mainly for planting the rice once or twice every year. According to Table 2-1, maximum 4.77mu paddy field of a household and minimum 0.09mu paddy field of a household is acquired and the average acquired paddy field of the household is 1.77mu. The social-economic survey on households shows that the affected households have averagely 10.64mu paddy field (refer to Table 2-3). Hence, less than 16.63% of the paddy field of each household is acquired. As analyzed in the following text, the income of local farmers is mainly from non-agricultural production and business as well as employment in non-agricultural sectors created by this project, it can be concluded that the land acquisition of this project will exert limited negative impacts on the income of the affected population.

According to the site survey and statistics, the project will demolish altogether private houses of 6 households and the total 12 construction area will be 1,268.64m². Of which, the area of the house of brick-concrete structure is 404.07m² while the area of the house of brick-wood structure is 844.57m². Totally 21 people will be affected. Hence, the area per person is nearly 60m². Of which, the area of the house of brick-wood structure per person is up to 41m² while that of the house of brick-concrete structure per person is only 19m². The number and structure of private houses to be demolished is shown in Table 2-6. Table 2-4.

According to the survey of the farmers affected by the expropriation of land and houses, the surveyed women enjoy the same legal rights as men, including contracting farmland , receiving education, family planning, and participating in elections. Female labor force is entitled to the same autonomy in production and management as men, and can independently choose to work or do small business. It is natural that the division of labor between men and women in family life and production is different. Women tend to undertake most of housework, take care of children, undertake most of the family sideline business (such as livestock farming), and work in manual workshops. By contrast, men tend to engage in transportation or work outside their hometown. As far as education is concerned, boys and girls have equal access to education. If they study hard, their parents will almost always make every effort to support their education. According to the survey, (1) The main impact of the project to women is the 13 decrease in incomes from the farmland before it is requisitioned for the project; (2) As the project area is located in the urban area and Xuancheng City enjoys robust economic growth in recent years, a large number of non-agricultural employment opportunities have been created for women in the project area. As a result, women's production incomes have largely come from non-agricultural sectors rather than agriculture previously; (3) The project has relatively little impact on women's production incomes. Furthermore, there are no disabled people, lonely elderly people, or other vulnerable groups in the project area. 3. Basic conditions of the households affected by Xuancheng project In order to know about the basic conditions of the affected household and offer basis for formulating reasonable resettlement plan, the social-economic conditions of 14 households in 2016 were surveyed and analyzed. The 14 surveyed households include 64 members, including 34 males, accounting for 53.13% of the total members, and 30 females, accounting for 46.13% of the total members. And the households have averagely 4.57 members. Table 3-1 Sex distribution of the surveyed households (%) Sex Total Male Female 53.85 46.15 100.00 3.1 Age structure The age distribution of the surveyed households is shown in Table 3-2. Most of them are 18 to 34 years old and the proportion is 39.39%. 27.27% of them are 35 to 59 years old and only 12.12% of them are 60 years old or above. Their average age is 34.5. Hence, the majority of them are young and middle-aged people.

If calculating as per average members of the households, i.e. 3.5, then the average income of the household members is 29,718 Yuan. This amount is higher than the average disposable income of rural residents of Xuanzhou District in 2016 which was 13,379 Yuan and lower than the average disposable income of urban residents of Xunazhou District in 2016 which was 30,877 Yuan. Table 3-4 Household income (Yuan) Maximum Minimum Standard deviation Average 155000 61000 30211 104 014 Their income is mainly from construction sector (31.59%) and industrial sector (18.54%). The business service and other sectors contribute 15.11% and 14.73% of their income respectively. The agricultural production only contributes 11.69% of their income and is no longer the main source of their livelihood. We can know from the individual interview that Xuancheng is economically developed area in Anhui Province and its urban construction and economy in parks develop rapidly. Hence, income of the suburban residents is from diverse channels with working in the construction sector and 15 industrial sector as the main income source. The reason for high proportion of the people who have income from "other sources" lies in the much compensation due to land acquisition and house demolition in recent years.

Of which, the average expenditures for production and business were 10,100 Yuan, accounting for 23% of the total expenditure, and the average expenditure for living and consumption were 33,807 Yuan, accounting for 77%. The household expenditures are shown in Table 3-6.

Only 11.69% of the household income is from agricultural production while expenditures for agricultural production accounts for 23% of the total household expenditures. Hence, land 16 acquisition of this project will exert limited negative impacts on the production and living of the affected households. 4.

According to Notice of Anhui Provincial People’s Government on Adjusting Compensation Standard for Land Acquisition in Anhui Province (W.Z.[2015] No.24) released by Anhui Provincial People's Government on February 28, 2015, and Notice concerning Adjusting Standards of Acquisition of Special Vegetable Plots in Levied Land within Urban Planning Area of Xuancheng City and Compensation Standards of Land Attachments including Standing crops (X.Z.B.M.[2015] No.270) released by Xuancheng Municipal People's Government on November 25, 2015, Xuanzhou District Social Welfare Home Relocation and Reconstruction Work of World Bank-financed Anhui Aged Care System Project is implemented in Class A region of Xuancheng City; and the land expropriated can be divided into two groups as follows: agricultural land , and construction land (including homestead) and unused land . Cultivated land acquired: the unified annual output value is set at 1,870 Yuan/mu, 30 land compensation is 10 times that of annual output value and resettlement subsidy 15 times that of annual output value; in total, the compensation shall be 25 times that of annual output value, i.e. 46,750 Yuan/mu. Construction land and unused land : for these land s, the unified annual output value is set at 1,870 Yuan/mu, land compensation is 5 times that of annual output value and resettlement subsidy 7.5 times that of annual output value; in total, the compensation shall be 12.5 times that of annual output value, i.e. 23,375 Yuan/mu. The compensation for standing crops on acquired farmland are as follows: those on paddy field: 1,000 Yuan/mu; those on dry land : 800 Yuan/mu, those on common vegetable fields: 1,100 Yuan/mu; fish ponds: 1,500 Yuan/mu. The compensation for land attachments and standing crops shall be paid to the owners directly; The resettlement subsidy (28,050 Yuan/mu for agricultural land and 14,025 Yuan/mu for construction land and unused land ) and 70% of land compensation (13,090 Yuan/mu for agricultural land and 6,540 Yuan/mu for construction land and unused land ) will be paid to land -acquired households directly; and the 30% of land compensation (5,610 Yuan/mu for agricultural land and 2,805 Yuan/mu for construction land and unused land ) shall be paid to the collective organization. The utilization of such remaining compensation shall be negotiated and decided through villager's congress and other methods and the compensation shall be mainly used for collective public welfare undertakings.1 1 According to Article 26 of Regulations on the Implementation of Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China (Revised in 2011), land compensation shall be paid to the rural collective economic organization; compensation for ground attachments and standing crops shall be paid to the owner(s) of ground attachments and standing crops.

Due to the rapid development of China's rural economy and the emergence of land transfer, the land contractors have increasingly greater rights over land acquisition. Moreover, the collectiveness of rural land is somewhat weakened, as evidenced by the fact that a part of land compensation is transferred from village collectives to the land contractors. According to Notice on Adjusting Compensation Standards for Vegetable Plots, Standing Crops, and Other Ground Attachments on the Expropriated Land within the Urban Planning Area of Xuancheng City (X.Z.B.M.

The specific objectives are as follows: ● The affected households shall be properly resettled and get the cash compensation as per replacement cost standards, so that their residential quality and environment can at least reach the level before demolition or be improved; ● Compensation shall be paid to various affected land attachments at replacement cost; ● The infrastructure shall be compensated or restored as they were; ● The public facilities and community environment in the affected communities shall be restored to the level before demolition or be improved if possible. ● The labor affected by land acquisition shall be properly resettled, whose long-term livelihoods shall be guaranteed and living standard be improved instead of being declined and no farmer shall permanently lose their jobs due to the land acquisition. 6.1.2 Methods of resettlement and livelihood restoration The resettlement and livelihood restoration of the affected people shall be achieved through living & production resettlement and rehabilitation simultaneously. 44 The living resettlement and livelihood restoration mainly refers to house relocation and livelihood restoration, mainly including: ● To provide cash compensation for demolished houses or provide resettlement houses to ensure that living quality and environment is no less favorable than that of prior to demolition. ● In the new living environment, the affected people can enjoy all kinds of necessary living facilities and services conveniently. The production resettlement and livelihood restoration mainly refers to employment arrangement of labor force and reestablishment and livelihood restoration of production facilities, including: ● To make reasonable compensation for the acquired land to ensure that the affected people will not lose their source of income due to land acquisition. ● To provide assistance in agricultural production and off-farm employment to the affected people to ensure that the long-term livelihood of the affected people will not be affected by the land acquisition of the project. 6.1.3 Principle of resettlement and livelihood restoration ● The affected people shall have the right to participate in the whole process of resettlement. The decisions concerning problems such as house and facility compensation standards, selection of resettlement site, demolition schedule, livelihood restoration schedule, transfer of funds, use and management of resettlement fund, livelihood restoration measures for production and operation must be made at the presence of affected people or their representatives, and consensus must be reached through consultation with the affected people by convening representative discussion meetings or consultation meetings of affected community residents or villagers. ● Various compensation shall be paid to the owners of the property completely and directly. No organization or individual may withhold or misappropriate the compensation of others. 6.2 Resettlement of displaced households The proper resettlement of displaced households is an important part of the project, 45 and an issue under repeated consultation between the Xuanzhou District Social Welfare Home, Xiadu Community and the affected people. From April to May 2017, Xuanzhou PMO, Xiadu Community and resettlement advisory agency has made wide and in-depth investigation and consultation in affected people, comprehended their resettlement wills, propagandized Xuancheng's policies on land acquisition and house demolition for urban construction, introduced measures for housing demolition in similar projects under construction at present, and shown the dwelling conditions of resettled families to the affected families. And the compensation and resettlement policies for house demolition applicable to this project have been formulated after repeated consultations and communication. According to the results of consultations, the project will provide two ways of resettlement for displaced households as below: 1) Cash resettlement According to resettlement field investigation, the affected region in the project is a rural-urban continuum which is gradually integrated into the city proper in recent years with the development of urban construction. In the region, a few villagers engage in non-agricultural production and business activities for long time and have in fact moved or are ready to move into cities or towns for development, leaving their houses in the village vacant and unused for long time. For these displaced households, they are not affected by the house demolition in terms of dwelling and they need on resettlement house for resettlement, so they want to get cash compensation. For these families, if they choose cash compensation, then relevant departments will adopt approach of cash resettlement according to their will and grant the compensation for demolition to them directly. 2) House for house resettlement through property-rights exchange in concentrated resettlement complex The district where the project is implemented is the core of Xiadu New Town and has been included into overall planning of urban construction. According to relevant provisions of Ministry of Land and Resources and Xuancheng City, after house demolition on collective land within urban construction planning area, no homestead will be provided to the affected families for re-building houses, but unified planning will be made for houses re-building. In recent years, most urban construction projects in 46 Xuancheng City adopt the method of centralized construction of resettlement site to resettle the displaced households. According to the survey of resettlement willingness, 100% families are willing to choose property rights exchange for resettlement. The Xiadu XinYuan, resettlement complex under construction, is less than 500m away from demolition site. For this residential community, total investment is about 1.1 billion Yuan, and planning area of used land totals about 208,000m2 and planning overall floorage 388,000m2. The community is provided with following facilities: a primary school with 24 classes, covering an area of about 9000m2, which is completely delivered and put into use; a supporting commercial complex covering an area of about 21,000m2, which is expected to be delivered in second half of 2017; 1,715 parking spaces for motor vehicles; property management and community management houses covering an area of about 2,400m2; a health station with an area of about 1,200m2; an aged-care center with an area of about 1,200m2, and a community center with an area of about 1,200m2. Thereunto, # 14-32 buildings are included in resettlement house project and are expected to be completed by the end of 2017. Therefore, the delivery of resettlement houses is guaranteed. Picture 4 Resettlement Complex-- Xiadu XinYuan The specific measures are as follows: (1) Each household can choose to buy resettlement house in Xiadu XinYuan with similar area to that of demolished one at an average price of 950 Yuan / m2 (its market price is 3, 100 Yuan/ m2). (2) If the area of demolished house is smaller than the standard area of the 47 resettlement house, the insufficient part (to be determined by the number family members to be resettled in the household) can be purchased at a price of 300 Yuan/ m2; if the area of the resettlement house chosen is larger than the standard one, the exceeding part (within 5 m2 per capita) can be purchased at a price ruled by municipal price control bureau, municipal construction commission of housing and urban-rural development, and municipal land bureau. If the area still exceeds, then the exceeding part shall be purchased at a price agreed when signing the agreement. 3) The standard area of resettlement house: 60 m2, 80 m2, 100 m2, 120 m2, 130 m2. The family involved shall choose the resettlement house with similar area to the property-rights-exchange area. The price of the resettlement house shall be cleared when signing the sales contract. 4) House demolition shall be implemented in accordance with the principle of "house building before house demolition". That is to say, the house demolition shall be carried out only after the resettlement house is completed and ready for living. Meanwhile, relocation allowance shall be offered for the demolished structures. The relocation fees for families whose residential houses are demolished shall be calculated at 8 Yuan/ m2 as per area of demolished houses and the fees shall be no less than 500 Yuan. According to the results of public consultation, all the 6 displaced households choose house resettlement through property right exchange. 6.3 Resettlement of people affected by land acquisition The project will permanently occupy 61.35mu collective land , among which cultivated land : 53.465 mu and non-cultivated land : 7.885 mu. The cultivated land includes paddy field (42.475 mu), vegetable land (1.83 mu), dry land (1.12 mu) and ponds (8.04 mu). According to field investigations, these villages previously possess relatively abundant land s. Prior to land acquisition, land area per household is 11.78mu and land area per capita is 2.5mu or above (see Table 2-1). In the project, the area of land expropriated per capita is 0.6mu only, area of land expropriated per household 2.19mu; the influence ratio of land acquisition is no more than 20% (see Table 2-3), among which the influence ratio of paddy land acquisition is no more than 16.6%. 48 According to social economic investigation, for affected people in the region where the project is implemented, the land with economic benefits mainly are paddy fields and vegetable fields. The paddy fields mainly grow rice once or twice a year. Early rice and late rice can generally harvest about 650kg rice with gross income of 1500 Yuan, and the total expenses of fertilizer, pesticides, seeds, machinery and irrigation, etc. per mu is about 850 Yuan. That is to say, irrespective of labor cost, the paddy field with the most economic benefits can generate income of 600-700 Yuan per mu per year. At present, labor around Xuancheng City work in non-agricultural field, for example, temporarily working at construction site in which the unskilled labor earns 100-120 Yuan per day and the skilled one earns 150-200 Yuan per day. Therefore, the annual income from 1 mu paddy field excluding labor cost is equivalent to income of a labor working in non-agricultural fields for 3-6 days. In fact, if taking into account the cost of labor, many farmers think that farming is actually a losing proposition and local farmers have a few interest in agricultural production, thus some land are even abandoned. For this reason, when Xuanzhou District Social Welfare Home and resettlement consultative agency carried out investigation and consultation on compensation and resettlement scheme for land acquisition, almost 100% peasant families wanted their land to be expropriated. In the resettlement investigation process, resettlement consultative agency of Xuanzhou District Social Welfare Home solicits land -acquired households for their opinions about resettlement modes after land acquisition. The land expropriated families claim that the land acquisition fees shall be paid directly to the affected families. So based on widely soliciting opinions and consultations, the resettlement measures for land acquisition determined in this project are as follows: To make cash compensation for acquired farmland s, including paddy fields, dry land s, forest land and vegetable fields; for these land s, the annual output value is set at 1,870 Yuan/mu, land compensation is 10 times that of annual output value and resettlement subsidy 15 times that of annual output value; in total, the compensation shall be 25 times that of annual output value, i.e. 46,750 Yuan/mu. The compensation for standing crops on acquired farmland are as follows: those on paddy field: 1,000 Yuan/mu; those on dry land : 800 Yuan/mu; those on common vegetable fields: 1,100 Yuan/mu; moso bamboo stands: 2,200 Yuan/mu and small-diameter bamboo stands: 1,100 Yuan/mu. The land attachments and 49 compensation for standing crops shall be paid to the owners directly; All of the resettlement subsidy and 70% of the land compensation will be paid to land -acquired households, while the remaining 30% shall be paid to the village collective, according to the relevant local policies. The utilization of such remaining compensation shall be negotiated and decided through villager's congress or other methods. Besides, the compensation shall be mainly used for the public welfare undertakings of village collectives. The allocation and use of land compensation shall be subject to supervision and auditing by the higher authorities. After land acquisition, for households with a per capita farmland area less than 0.3 mu, the family member who has reached the age of 16 and is not covered by urban basic old-age insurance shall be listed as the target for employment training and granting of social security. The pension insurance fund of land -acquired farmers is comprised of two parts: the unified fund and the individual account fund. The part funded by land -using units shall be included into the unified fund, while individual account fund is comprised of the contribution of the individual and its interest. The standard for funded part of land -using unit: 6,000 Yuan for each eligible farmers, with an individual contribution of 12,000 Yuan. The farmers (men: over 60; women: over 55) meeting the above conditions shall be granted with a pension allowance of 240 Yuan per month. The land -acquired farmers shall be covered by urban employment system and arranged for employment through various ways including active development of public welfare positions. The land -using unit shall offer the land -acquired farmers jobs suitable for them preferentially. The unemployed ones shall be included into reemployment service system. The Employment and Unemployment Registration Certificate shall be issued. And the land -acquired farmers shall be organized to participate in the training of employment skills step by step according to the plan; and the farmers are encouraged to find jobs on their own or become self-employed. In case a farmer participates in employment skills training voluntarily and obtain the certificate, he or she will be provided with occupational skill appraisal subsidy; if he or she has the entrepreneurial intention, he or 50 she may apply for free entrepreneurship training and enjoy relevant policy support. The 28 households are affected by the land acquisition and house demolition in the project, totaling 92 people, of whom 63 are active labor force. With the rapid development of urban construction in Xuancheng and the development of industrial zone economy, the active labor force of households whose land are acquired partially or wholly can be employed in non-agricultural sector. According to the socio-economic survey, with regard to the farmers whose land is requisitioned, their farming incomes account for only 11.69% of their households’ total incomes and such incomes are made primarily by elderly laborers. Furthermore, among the peasant households whose land is requisitioned, no household’s cultivated area per person is less than 0.3mu. It means no land-loss farmer emerged due to this land acquisition. Information about Zhang Wanyang from Yucun Village (male, 57 years old): his family has four members; his two children work outside of the village, while he and his wife stay at home. He has a 8mu paddy field, which brings an income of about 5,000 yuan per year. Mr. Zhang said that in the slack season, he would do odd jobs with a daily income of 100 yuan to 120 yuan. Because of his age and the fact that he cannot leave the land , he can only work part-time nearby. As a result, he may work from 90 days to 100 days a year and make an income of 10,000 yuan per year. Both of Zhang ’s children work in Zhejiang, yet he has no idea how much they earn. However, he knows for sure that his children earns much more than him. They would return home during the Chinese Spring Festival and give their parents 1,000yuan to 2,000yuan. For this project, Zhang’s 1.65mu paddy field was requisitioned, yet he did not mind such a loss of land. He calculated that for 1 mu paddy field requisitioned, he could receive 41,140yuan (28,185yuan of resettlement subsidy, plus 10,390 yuan, which is 70% of the land compensation), so even if he deposits 41,140yuan in a bank, he will receive interest exceeding than the income he makes by farming. If the annual interest is 4%, Zhang will get 1,645 yuan, which is over two times the farming income (700yuan to 800yuan). Therefore, Zhang feedback to the social consultation team that he would rather have all his farmland requisitioned. If all his 8mu paddy field is requisitioned, he would receive a large sum of compensation. And He would become a land -loss farmer who can be covered by urban social safety net. 51 Most young and middle-aged laborers have already been employed in non-agricultural sectors now, by the time of land acquisition in this project there will be no impacts on their livelihoods as they can continue their existing livelihoods. They are entitled to unemployment insurance, endowment insurance, medical insurance, and other benefits provided by their employers. 6.4. Protection of vulnerable people’s rights and interests In the preparation of the resettlement plan, the survey team organized women group meetings, elderly people and other vulnerable groups were also surveyed and interviewed in social assessment. These people were enabled to participate in consultations about project impacts and solicited their opinions on income livelihood restoration and other resettlement measure plans. Women are generally supportive of the project. They believe that the project is conducive to the development of elderly care services locally. Some elderly people think that welfare homes will make elderly care more accessible to them in the future. Young and middle-aged women hold that land acquisition for the project will free them from farming, give them priority on job opportunities created by the project in addition to cash compensation, and provide them with stable jobs at welfare homes in the future. In response to the wishes of these women, elderly people and other such vulnerable people, relevant organization(s) will ensure that they have access to relevant information about resettlement and can participate in public consultation about resettlement during the project implementation. The compensation agreement must be signed by both husband and wife. In the implementation of resettlement, meetings about resettlement will be held for women to attend, so as to raise their awareness of resettlement policies. Elderly people or poor people affected by this project will get priority to receive resettlement houses and livelihoods as they are entitled to. For livelihoods development, project welfare homes have promised that priority will be given to recruiting the affected families member to work at welfare homes. Being the focus of welfare homes’ work, nursing care will bring many jobs to women. 52 6.5 Resettlement and livelihood restoration schedules The civil engineering of the project is proposed to be commenced in December 2017.

The outcome of the public consultation has provided sound information for bettering the RAP. 9.1 Public consultation conducted On major issues involved in the resettlement planning phase, the PMO organizes the design units, the advisory bodies, the local resettlement offices and the affected population to disclose and negotiate the resettlement matters in a variety of ways. The main methods carried out by PMO and resettlement offices include: (1) Release of project-related information by official documents to the public of affected areas; (2) To collect the opinions of the affected population on the work of land acquisition and house demolition by questionnaires; (3) To convene various forms of discussions in the affected villages to get to know the socio-economic status of the affected households and to seek opinions and suggestions on resettlement work. (4) The affected population will send the relevant opinions and suggestions to the sub-district government and the community verbally or in writing, which will then be submitted by the local government to the PMO; As to matters related to land acquisition and house demolition, such as the choice of the site for resettlement, the transition of the DPs, a special discussion or on-site inspection will be held to seek the views of the DPs.

First, all respondents had a good understanding of the relocation and reconstruction of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home, indicating that the local government and the PMO were fully aware of the construction of the project through the public consultation activities that had already been carried out. In line with the awareness of the project, 100% of the affected population supports the construction of the welfare home. At the same time, the number of people who believe that construction of welfare home is very important, accounts for 85.71%, and those who believe the construction is important accounts for 14.29%. The survey data is consistent with the information got from resettlement and socio-economic survey. The construction of the welfare home is well supported among the affected areas. Second, as to the impact of the project, the majority of people thinks that it will increase job opportunities, and some people believe that living and aged-care conditions will be improved. Thirdly, more than 70% of the affected population advocated the direct payment of compensation funds for the land acquisition to the land contractor, believing that this could maximize the rights and interests of the affected population. Others hold the opinion that the resettlement subsidies shall be given to themselves and the land compensation shall be given to the collective; or, the land acquisition unit shall provide non-agricultural employment opportunities Fourth, in housing resettlement, all the respondents support the resettlement through property-rights-exchange. The public opinion collected above has been fully considered in the development of the RAP, and the land acquisition and resettlement policy has fully allowed for their opinions. 9.2 Feedback from public consultation From May to June in 2017, the PMO and the Involuntary Resettlement Research Center of China Three Gorges University summarized the opinions and suggestions of the affected population collected in various channels during the process of public consultation and provided timely feedback on some of their concerns to the engineering 71 design units, environmental impact assessment units and relevant departments. In preparation of resettlement action plan, these opinions and recommendations are fully considered. Table 9-3 gives the feedback on public consultation up to now.

During the preparation of the project, the internal monitoring agency will prepare regular or irregular internal work report in conjunction with the World Bank's inspection, and the format will vary in different projects and stages in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank. After the implementation begins, brief weekly and 86 monthly reports, as well as detailed quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports are required for the project with greater impact; while a brief quarterly report and detailed semi-annual and annual reports are required for the project with smaller impact according to the project situation. Special reports shall be conducted according to the needs of project management. A summary report shall be made after the completion of the project. The internal monitoring report shall be reported to the people's governments at the same level, implementing unit at higher levels and the PMO by implementing units at all levels. The PMO shall provide the World Bank with an internal monitoring report every 6 months; 11.2 External monitoring In accordance with the relevant requirements of the World Bank, during the implementation of the project, the PMO will conduct extensive comparison and selection to determine an agency with more than 5 years of experience in related work as the external monitoring agency of the resettlement, and the agency shall be responsible for the independent monitoring and evaluation of the resettlement work. 11.2.1 Purpose of external monitoring External monitoring and evaluation is the evaluation of resettlement by an agency independent of the government agency. Its purpose is to examine the implementation of the resettlement action plan from a broad and long-term perspective, to monitor and assess whether the objectives of land acquisition, resettlement and relocation are realized, to put forward assessment opinions and suggestions, and to take remedial measures and tracking actions in a timely manner to ensure the effectiveness of resettlement work. Land acquisition and house demolition and resettlement activities will be tracked in external monitoring to monitor and assess whether the resettlement: 1) Complies with the state laws and regulations on resettlement work; 2) Complies with the World Bank's policies on involuntary resettlement 3) Makes the living standard of the affected persons exceed or at least revert to the level before the resettlement. 87 11.2.2 External monitoring agency and monitoring personnel The staff of the external monitoring agency must meet the following basic requirements: (1) The staff engaged in external monitoring should have experiences in similar work, have rich social and economic investigation experience, understand the World Bank's policies on involuntary resettlement, and grasp the national and local policies and laws on the resettlement. (2) The staff shall have the ability to independently engage in social research, have good communication skills, and be hard-working. 11.2.3 Responsibilities of external monitoring agency The external monitoring agency will undertake the following activities: ● Before the resettlement activities begin, a baseline survey of living standards will be conducted to obtain the basic conditions of the production and life of the affected persons; ● The implementation of resettlement activities will be tracked and monitored during the resettlement. The opinions and complaints of the affected persons will be timely reflected to the PMO and the local resettlement office, and a monitoring report will be submitted to the PMO and the World Bank; ● A tracking survey on the changes in the production and living standards of the affected persons, as well as evaluation of the resettlement activities and measures will be conducted; ● On the basis of investigation and full consultation with the affected persons, constructive suggestions will be put forward to the PMO and the local resettlement office to ensure the smooth progress of the resettlement work and the early livelihood restoration of the production and living standards of the affected persons. ● Suggestions on solutions to the problems found in the monitoring should be put forward. 11.2.4 Methods and steps of external monitoring The external monitoring agency will take the following measures for monitoring resettlement: 88 (1) Establish a database of affected persons, and conduct frequent household interviews on the basis of resettlement investigation. The external monitoring agency will make full use of the socio-economic survey data and the resettlement information management system established by the PMO to conduct dynamic management of the basic situation of the households affected by land acquisition and house demolition, so as to keep abreast of the situation of DPs. Use the information reflected by the database, and conduct face-to-face interviews among the affected households to know about the progress of resettlement work, listen to their complaints, dissatisfaction and suggestions, and publicize the relevant policies of the state, the relevant requirements of the World Bank and the information on engineering construction at the same time. Household interviews will be conducted independently by the staff of external monitoring agency, whom shall not be accompanied by the staff of local resettlement agency or local administrative personnel after obtaining the list and related information of the affected persons from the grass-roots organization. When the external monitoring agency conducts household interviews, the interviewers are relatively fixed, that is, the same person interviews the same affected area as often as possible, so it is easy to establish a mutual trust relationship between the interviewers and the affected persons, which is conducive to the development of work. (2) In areas where the affected persons are relatively concentrated, discussion meetings will be organized among the affected persons now and then. In areas where the affected persons are concentrated, the external monitoring agency will hold discussion meetings, and listen to the opinions of the affected persons on major issues affected by the project. The discussion meetings may be formal or informal, and the staff of the grass-roots resettlement offices may be invited or not invited, depending on the specific circumstances. (3) Field observation. The staff of the external monitoring agency will visit the resettlement sites regularly and irregularly, and observe the resettlement progress on the spot. (4) Case study. Focus on the individual prominent cases that may arise in the process of resettlement. Analyze the root causes of the problems, find the solutions to the problems, and put forward some suggestions. (5) Questionnaire. Conduct a sample survey on the recovery of production and life 89 of DPs and their opinions on resettlement work, and analyze the results in time. Solve the existing problems and provide reference for resettlement work for the next year. 11.2.5 Main contents of external monitoring (1) Monitoring of resettlement of the relocated households The resettlement of these affected persons will be a monitoring focus of the external monitoring agency. For such affected persons, the external monitoring agency will focus the main monitoring index on: ● Whether the compensation prices for buildings and other land attachments are set according to the principle of resettlement cost; ● Whether the compensation funds are paid in full and in time; ● Whether the relocation schedule is reasonable; ● Whether the transition fee and relocation fee are paid; ● Whether the compensation for material objects is discounted; ● Whether the water, electricity, roads and other infrastructure in the new resettlement place are complete; and who will be responsible for the provision of these conditions. ● Whether it is convenient for people to travel from the new resettlement place to hospitals, schools and other places. (2) Monitoring of resettlement of DPs through production According to the characteristics of the affected land and its management, the external monitoring agency's monitoring of the resettlement through production of DPs affected by land acquisition will mainly focus on the following aspects: ● Whether the compensation standards for land acquisition are formulated in accordance with the relevant laws of the state; ● Whether the allocation procedures for land compensation can ensure the affected villages get their deserved funds; ● Whether the amount of land acquisition, the compensation standard and the amount of compensation are made public in the whole village and in which form; ● If the land compensation is paid directly to the individual, how is the scope of the payment determined; ● Whether there is a definite and feasible plan for the centralized use of land 90 compensation; ● Whether the interest related villagers are asked for opinions in the formulation of land use compensation plan, and how is the use plan determined; (3) Monitoring the operation of resettlement offices; A competent, professional and efficient resettlement agency is a reliable guarantee to ensure the smooth progress of the resettlement. Monitoring the operation of resettlement offices is also an important part of external monitoring by the external monitoring agency. The monitoring of resettlement offices is mainly carried out through the field visit to the resettlement offices, and verification of their working materials and records, and the main contents include: ● Whether the staff composition of resettlement offices at all levels meets the needs of the resettlement work; ● Whether the resettlement offices at all levels are equipped with necessary working conditions; ● Whether the quality of the staff in resettlement offices meet the requirements of resettlement work; ● Training of the staff in resettlement offices; ● Internal information management of resettlement offices. (4) Baseline survey of living standard of affected persons Before the formal implementation of the resettlement, the external monitoring agency will establish the baseline information on resettlement for the relocation and rebuilding of World Bank-funded Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home through a sample survey. The sample survey will be conducted through a structured questionnaire. All the affected households involved in the socio-economic survey during the project preparation phase will be used as sample database for classified sampling. The sampling proportion of baseline survey of living standard is 10% of the households affected by the house demolition or the land acquisition. The main contents of baseline survey of living standard of affected households include: Household population, production and operation situation, housing construction area, annual household income, employment structure, annual household expenditure, traffic conditions, water supply conditions, power supply conditions, living environment, subjective evaluation of production and living conditions, etc. 91 (5) Monitoring and evaluation of resettlement effect After the formal implementation of the resettlement, the external monitoring agency will continuously track and monitor the effect of resettlement. The external monitoring agency will conduct tracking survey on affected households six months after their resettlement. The tracking survey is similar to the baseline survey of living standard and will be conducted by means of a sample survey. It will reflect the impact of resettlement on the life and production of the respondents through a structured questionnaire, so as to evaluate the effect of resettlement. The selection of tracking sample shall be in principle the same as that of living standard, and it shall be a track of subjects involved in baseline survey of living standard as far as possible. After completing the baseline survey of living standard, a database of all the survey samples will be established as a basis for tracking survey. For a small number of respondents that are difficult to be tracked due to various factors, the households affected by the same reason in the same residential community will be taken as alternative respondents according to the early socio-economic survey database. The content of the tracking survey shall be well connected with the baseline survey of living standard, so as to compare and analyze the changes in life and production of affected households before and after the resettlement. At the same time, the subjective evaluation of the resettlement by the affected persons shall be taken as a reference for assessing the effect of the resettlement work. (6) External monitoring of resettlement of other sub-projects ●External monitoring of displaced people during transition period of multi-functional medical building of Traditional Chinese Hospital of LuAn to confirm whether they get the transition fees fully and timely and the time when they move into new houses; ●External monitoring of reconstruction and expansion of health care center of Lu’an Community to find out whether there are new immigrant activities in time; ●External monitoring of resettlement of new nursing home for the elderly of First People’s Hospital of Anqing to confirm whether the displaced people get the transition fees fully and timely and the time when they move into new houses; ●External monitoring of reconstruction and expansion of home-based aged-care service stations in Anqing to find out whether there are new immigrant activities in 92 time; ●External monitoring of transition plans during implementation of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home; ●External monitoring of transition plans during implementation of Ningguo Social Welfare Home; ●External monitoring of transition plans during implementation of rural nursing homes in Suzhou to find out whether there are new immigrant activities in time. 11.2.6 Reporting system for external monitoring The external monitoring agency prepares external monitoring reports based on its observations and surveys. There are two objectives: the first is to objectively report the progress of resettlement and the existing problems to the World Bank and the PMO; the second is to carry out evaluation on social and economic impact of resettlement work, and to propose constructive comments and suggestions to improve the resettlement work.
