C. Resettlement Impacts
The land acquisition of this sub-project is caused by Mandula port international logistics
park road upgrading. Total of 1170.77 mu of land will be occupied by this project, in which:
(1) The expansion project of freight passage at Mandula port will acquire 362.11 mu
land of Eerdengaobao village in Mandula town, including: [i] 279.11 mu of village
collective land (grassland), of which 114.31 mu belongs to village collective
grassland of Eerdengaobao village, without APs; 164.80 mu collective grassland is
owned by herdsmen of Eerdengaobao village, affecting 3 households with 12 people,
all of whom are ethnic minorities (Mongolian). [ii] occupying 83 mu of state-owned
construction land, without APs.
(2) Mandula port international road logistics park service area project will occupy 366.90
mu of state-owned land (construction land), without APs.
(3) Mandula port road logistics park customs supervision site subproject will occupy
441.76 mu of the state-owned land (construction land), without APs.
(4) In addition, Mandula port quarantine and sheep breeding base mutton sheep
industry comprehensive development integration project: 5 breeding bases are
reconstructed projects, the original construction has completed the land transfer
process, and obtained the collective land use certificate before it starts ; 1
slaughtering and processing base is the land transferred by the government, which
has obtained the land use certificate and completed the land acquisition before the
transfer. A grassland transfer agreement has been signed in an animal quarantine,
and the transfer had been done, and the payment of compensation had been paid
timely and fully, no remaining issues were left. Therefore, in accordance with the
SPS of the ADB, DDR have been prepared for the road that has completed land
acquisition and related sub-projects of land acquisition and land transfer, to
understand the real situation, as well as the compensation and resettlement of APs,
without complaints (See Appendix 1). Those affected households will still be
provided with training and other project-related opportunities as part of this RP.
(5) Institutional Capacity Building and Strengthening.
D. Policy Framework and Entitlement
This resettlement plan is formulated in conformity with the policies of People's Republic
of China as well the related policies in Inner Mongolia and ADB Safeguard Policy Statement.
The project is guided by the following principles: avoid and minimize LA and involuntary
resettlement by identifying and comparing a range of alternative design approaches; (ii)
Compensation and subsidies based on the principle of replacement cost; (iii) as much as
possible, sufficient land area per capita should be ensured to maintain the original living
ix
standards of the AHs; (iv) All APs are adequately informed of their rights, compensation
proportion and standards, livelihood and income recovery plans, and project schedule; (v)
No land acquisition activities shall be carried out until the APs have been fully compensated
and assistance provided; (vi) There should be sufficient resettlement funds to cover LA
impacts of the subproject; and close monitoring and timely action should be taken to identify
and resolve any problems relating to LA, and resettlement.
E. Ethnic Minorities
EM households with 12 persons are affected by the subproject, they are mainly
Mongolians. Socio-economic surveys have shown that ethnic minorities in the project area
are mixed with other groups. Although some EM households are affected by LA, there is no
EM group that has been broken down into several parts as a result of relocation. The
subproject will not affect their traditional rights to use land and resources. They will receive
the same land compensation and resettlement fees as Han will receive, and they will get the
priority in receiving project employment.
F. Public Participation and Negotiation
During the project preparation stage, all information about the implementation of the
subproject were disclosed after many negotiations were conducted. Public consultation and
negotiations will continue during the implementation period as well. The concerns of the
affected population and their views have been included in the RP. The local government will
disclosure the resettlement plan at the affected communities and at village offices. The RP
will also be uploaded on the ADB website. A Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) will be
distributed among the AHs.
G. Grievances and Appeals
Damaoqi County subproject PMO has established a detailed complaint and appeal
procedure. APs can rely on passages of appeal at all levels of the town and township. These
responsible organizations must respond to any complaint within a certain period of time. The
affected people may lodge a complaint on any aspect of LA, and resettlement of the
subproject. All appeals will be recorded and monitored by PMO.
H. Institutional Arrangement
The project implementation agency is: Damaoqi County people's government; project
implementation agency: Damaoqi County ADB PMO. The IA shall set up a full-time institution
according to the composition of its members, with experienced long-term full-time staff and
specialized management information system. Relevant staff can cross-serve with the leading
group office (ADB PMO) to ensure smooth communication. All relevant departments will work
closely with PMO to carry out LA activities as per the approved RP.
x
I. Resettlement Costs and Funds
The total cost of LA and resettlement is CNY 11.02 million yuan, Damaoqi County
subproject IA needs to ensure that there is enough resettlement fund to solve all the
resettlement problems in time.
J. Implementation Schedule
It is planned that all the departments will work together and commence land acquisition
works from March 2020 to May 2020.This RP will be updated following final technical design,
DMS, consultation and disclosure, final relocation and restoration strategy; and will be
submitted to ADB for review and concurrence. It is note that the Land acquisition work can
be commence, under the conditions of the Updated RP is satisfactory to ADB.
K. Monitoring and Evaluation
The RP has included detailed internal monitoring and evaluation plans. The
methodology for monitoring is detailed in the RP. Each IA will conduct internal monitoring to
ensure that project implementation is consistent with the RP. During the implementation of
the subproject, the Daomao Joint Banner PMO will conduct internal monitoring and submit a
progress report to the ADB in every six months for review. A project completion report will be
prepared within 6 months after completion of all LA activities.

1.2. Optimizing Project Design to Reduce Resettlement Impacts
4. At the engineering design phase, the impacts of LAR are to be avoided or minimized. The key
principles in this regard are:
Ø To avoid or minimize the occupation of existing and planned residential areas (rural and
urban);
Ø To avoid or minimize the acquisition of high-quality arable land/grassland;
Ø To use existing state and local roads towards to the proposed construction area;
Ø To avoid or minimize the occupation of environmentally sensitive areas; and
Ø To select the resettlement areas in line with the local development plan.
5. The road right-of-way (ROW) selection is to be combined with existing roads to avoid or reduce
occupancy of existing building and cultivated land and house demolition to minimize adverse
resettlement impacts.
6. The original planned upgrading project of Mandula international port road logistics park,
including the upgrading and expansion project of freight passage at Mandula port, the service area
project of international road logistics park at Mandula port, and the sub-project of customs
supervision site of road logistics park at Mandula port. It will permanently acquire 1491.37 mu land,
affecting 8 households and 34 people. After field investigation and consultation in affected villages,
the PMO, RP preparation team and design institute have optimized the project to reduce the
5
resettlement impact, and all sub-projects have reduced the impact of LA as far as possible.
Therefore, the PMO adjusted the red line for the expansion of the freight passage (from the original
50 meters to 24.5 meters). After the optimization of the project, 372.26 mu of grassland
expropriation and 188.34 mu of state-owned land occupation were reduced, and the people
affected by LA was also reduced by 5 households and 22 people. (see table 1-2).

2. Project Impacts
2.1. Methodology and Procedures
7. On July 18, 2019, TRTA resettlement specialists held a training workshop on the RF
of resettlement plan (RP), the first batch of central Asia regional cooperation projects in
Inner Mongolia, at the Shangri-La hotel in Hohhot. The workshop introduced the relevant
LAR policies of PRC and ADB and the requirements of RP.
8. During August 14 to August 22, 2019 with the assistance of the experts of TRTA,
Damaoqi County PMO and RP preparation agency organized for relevant staff a detailed
survey of the physical indicators of the affected population, houses, land and special
facilities, as well as the affected residents and rural collective economic organizations.
9. The surveys were conducted in a combination of field investigation, data collection
and inquiry, questionnaire survey and interview. Socio-economic survey was gender-
sensitive. Women were consulted to elicit their opinions and suggestions; and the findings
were included in the RP.
Land acquisition and socio-economic survey: The survey team surveyed the area
of the acquired land by ownership and type after the DI defined the range of land
acquisition by field setting-out. No house demolition survey was carried out since there
are no houses or structures on the land to be acquired. All households were
interviewed as part of the socio-economic survey.
Investigation of special facilities: the investigation of water conservancy, power,
telecommunications and other special facilities affected by the project, it is confirmed
that no special facilities are affected.
2.2. Impact and Risks Identification
10. At this stage, LA impact of this sub-project is determined according to the
recommended scheme determined at the feasibility study stage of Damaoqi County
project. The land acquisition of this sub-project is mainly caused by the infrastructure
construction of Mandula port freight passage expansion project. This sub-project will affect
1 village (Erdenaoba village) in 1 town (Mandula town). The project construction will
7
acquire 1170.77 mu of land. Of which 279.11 mu are collective land (grassland) (including
114.31 mu of village collective grassland, without APs), affecting 3 households with 12
people, all of whom are Mongolian; and 891.66 mu of state-owned land (construction land)

2.4. Impacts Analysis of Grassland Acquisition
12. The 279.11 mu of grassland to be acquired by this project is the Grade IV grassland,
which belongs to Eerdengaobao village, Mandula town, including:
(1) 114.31 mu belongs to the collective grassland of Eerdengaobao village, which has not
been allocated to individuals. Therefore, without any APs.
(2) 164.80 mu of grassland is owned by herdsmen, affecting 3 households with 12 people,
all of whom are Mongolian ethnic group.
11
13. The survey indicated that each household owns a large area of grassland, and the
total grassland area owned by the 3 affected households is 30185.70 mu, the per
household possession of grassland is about 10061.90 mu. Table 2-4 shows that the
average grassland loss rate is between 0.13%-1.42%; the total land loss rate of the 3 HHs
is 0.56%; and the average land loss rate is 0.58% for the Mongolian. In Damaoqi County,
herdsmen have a large number of grassland, because of the ban on grazing, there is a
large number of subsidies for ban on grazing. From the above data, it can be seen that the
area of grassland expropriation is small, and the impact on herdsmen is very small. It can
be seen that grassland acquisition will have little impact on herdsmen. The details are
shown in table 2-4.

2.5. Affected Vulnerable Groups
14. Vulnerable groups in the subproject areas refer to those individuals and their families
whose living standard is lower than CNY5700 (Yuan/month/person) of rural net per capita
income, including orphans, aged people, handicapped people, mentally disabled persons,
impoverished people, and women-headed households.
15. According to the socio-economic household survey and confirmed by Mandula town
government and village committees, no vulnerable groups will be affected by the
subproject.
16. According to the survey, it indicated that the lowest net per capita income of APs is
above CNY 5700 (Yuan/year/person), which is higher than rural minimum living standard.
According to survey data, there were no orphans, aged, handicapped, mentally disabled,
12
impoverished persons, and women-headed households in the subproject area. Therefore,
there are no vulnerable group in the project areas.
2.6. Affected Ethnic Minorities
17. LA will affect 3 minority households with 12 persons, all of whom is Mongolian. They
live together with the other EM groups. No ethnic minority group will be broken into small
segments by relocation. Land resource user rights of EMs will not be affected by LA. The
affected EM households enjoy equal social status, and economic status the Han
nationality, and retain their group characteristics in cultural habits and religious belief
systems. For this 3 minority households (Mongolian), their main income is from subsidies
for grazing prohibition. Grassland acquisition won’t affect their traditional lifestyle, PMO will
be in accordance with the national policy to give them the reasonable compensation, and
provide priority training on project labor, technical training, livestock farming and epidemic
prevention and so on; In terms of language, the Mongolian people also have their own
language and characters, and all the 3 affected herdsmen can communicate in Chinese.
2.7. Affected Ground Attachments and Infrastructure
18. According to the survey, there are no attachments or infrastructure involved in this
subproject.

3. Socioeconomic Profile of Project Areas 19. A socioeconomic survey was carried from 14-22 August 2019 to ascertain how LA
impact on APs. The survey was supplemented with interviews, observations and
consultations with APs and government agencies who are engaged in the subproject.
20. The different methods used to collect information and data also helped to
communicate to APs the scope of the subproject and how it impacts on them.
21. Based on the findings of various field methods, the PMO has worked out LA
compensation measures and prepared the production restoration plan in accordance with
what the APs.
3.1. Socioeconomic Status 22. Damaoqi County�county level�: Damaoqi County, full name Daerhanmaomingan

3.2.2. Age
27. As the affected households are only 3 households with 12 people, the impact amount
is small and the age structure is relatively simple, so the analysis is relatively simple.
Among the 12 persons in 3 households, there are 2 preschoolers (males) younger than 6
years old, and 2 persons (males) aged between 18 and 26 years old; 8 people aged
between 30 and 65, 4 men and 4 women. As shown in table 3-2, among those affected
people in the project, half of them have received primary education; one of the affected
population is receiving a bachelor's degree and one has completed a university degree.
Women in the affected groups are less educated and need further improvement.

3.2.4. Households Assets
29. The affected households are herdsmen in Eerdengaobao village. Among the three
affected families, all are engaged in animal husbandry. The economic income of the three
families affected by land acquisition and house demolition is shown in table 3-4.
30. From the table 3-4, it can be seen that the income source of affected households is
mainly from animal husbandry. In addition to animal husbandry production, family
members also choose to go out for work or transport to increase family income as well as
government subsidies such as border subsidies, education subsidies and so on. Among
them, income from animal husbandry accounted for 60.60%, wage income 11.56%,
subsidies 11.24%, working income 9.37% and business service income 7.23%. The
income of affected herdsmen families is shown in table 3-4.

3.2.6. Summary
32. All of the APs are herdsmen. While engaged in animal husbandry, the young labor
force will choose to work outside or in the transport industry or employed in Damaoqi
County to earn an additional income.
33. Now more women earn incomes and have greater voice on important household
matters, such as children’s education and daily purchases. They also assume the
responsibility of taking care of children and doing housework. Women would take part in
social activities and play an important role in family.
34. According to the survey, women’s concerns about resettlement are essentially the
same as those of men:
(i) Compensation standard of land, compensation for land should be available promptly;
(ii) The job opportunities created by the implementation of the project are expected to be
considered for women, so that women can also participate in the project.
(iii) In case of affected herdsmen, they should be compensated without any delay and at
reasonable rates based on national policies and the policies and laws of Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region and Baotou city. They should get training in livestock management.
With such knowledge they can manage their herds well and earn more income from their
herds.

4.2. ADB’s Policy Requirement on Involuntary Resettlement 36. The objectives of ADB's Involuntary Resettlement Policy are (i) If possible, involuntary
resettlement should be avoided; (ii) If resettlement is unavoidable, all feasible options
should be explored and the scope of resettlement should be minimized as much as
possible; (iii) Ensure that the displaced persons can maintain their pre-project economic
and social conditions; and (iv) Improve the living standard of displaced poor and other
vulnerable groups.
4.3. Differences between ADB and PRC Policies and Gap-Filling Measures 37. The main aspects of the national legal system include the collective land acquisition,
the procedures for transferring collective land to the state, house demolition on collective
land in rural areas, and house demolition on state-owned land in urban areas triggering the
20
need for compensation and relocation of displaced persons, households, and communities.
Key gaps between SPS of ADB (2009) and the PRC’s regulatory framework and how to
the bridge them are discussed below.
(i) identification of poor and vulnerable groups during the risk and impact screening process.
38. Specific to vulnerable households (men, women, ethnic groups), they are identified by
the Government as those who belong to the (i) Five-Guarantee program (the elderly, weak,
widowed and disabled members who are unable to work and have no means of living, or
whose households lack labor) who are being provided with production and living assistance
(e.g. food, clothing, fuel, education and burial expenses) and (i) those eligible for the
Minimum Living Guarantee System and are provided with living subsidy each month.
Furthermore, identification of the poor and vulnerable households can be only done during
the implementation phase of a project.
39. Those who are not considered as vulnerable groups as per Government’s definition
but may become at risk of being vulnerable or experience hardship due to impacts of
LA/HD; i.e., may need special support during the transition period (e.g. during relocation
such as provision of labor, transport) will also be identified and will be provided with
necessary assistance.
40. Those being ethnic minority, elderly, and women-headed-households but do not fall
under the Government criteria requires greater in-depth assessment during DMS to
determine their vulnerability factor.
41. In this subproject, no poor and vulnerable households were found. However, it will be
verified during RP updating.
(ii) Lack of documentation on the consultation and information disclosure activities, and grievances received.
42. Meetings and interviews held with the affected households are reflected in the RP and
will continue to be documented during RP updating and implementation. The grievance
redress will also be documented as part of the monitoring reports. Disclosure of the key
information in the RP will be carried out through the distribution of resettlement information
booklets in local language.
21
(iii) Inadequate social and risk analysis as resettlement planning is focused on loss of land and impacts on houses.
43. Social impact assessment was carried out during RP planning through the conduct of
socio-economic surveys, consultation meetings, inventory of losses, and key informant
interviews. Gender analysis was also carried out. Such measures led to the preparation
of project entitlements, livelihood support, and gender strategies; and they are reflected
in this RP.
(iv) Assistance to households who are not eligible for compensation of houses at replacement cost.
44. Based on the Regulations on the Demolition and Compensation of Houses on State-
owned Land (2011), the illegal houses and temporary structures which were constructed
after the approval period will not be compensated. However, if the APs belong to the
vulnerable groups and in need of housing, they will be assisted in securing affordable
housing or low-rent housing which is according to the Regulations to Solve the Housing
Difficulties for the Low Income HHs issued by State Council [GF 2007, No 24], affordable
housing and low-rent housing should be provided to the households who have housing
difficulties. The owners of demolished houses can apply for affordable housing and low-
rent housing assistance.
45. Compensation for non-land assets will be paid at their replacement cost. Resettlement
assistance will be provided to those who lost their legal houses when they meet the
Project’s cut-off date to move out. If an earlier cut-off date has been established by the
Government, the Government’s cut-off date will be followed, provided that the following
conditions are met: (i) copy of Halt Notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition/pre-
notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition published, (ii) documents confirming
dissemination of information (billboards, minutes of public meetings, letters to households,
newspapers, websites, broadcast, etc.), and (iii) confirmation from households that they
were informed about the cut-off-date verbally and in writing. For households who are not
eligible for compensation for houses at replacement cost, the reason as to why the
structure has no certification/license; and their socio-economic conditions, and vulnerability
will be assessed by the Project (through its local government and concerned bureaus) to
determine the necessary assistance that can be provided to them to ensure that they will
be able to at least to restore their living standards and will not be worse-off because of the
subproject.
46. In the subproject area, there are no illegal houses
22
(v) Inadequate monitoring and reporting arrangements
47. Monitoring is not being done on a regular basis. Each implementing agency has its
own procedures of monitoring and documenting the project process.
48. In this subproject, regular monitoring and submission of monitoring reports will be
carried out. Monitoring reports will be disclosed to the public. All monitoring reports will be
submitted to ADB for review and the reports will be posted on PMO and ADB websites.
4.4. Eligibility and Beneficiaries 49. The cut-off date for eligibility for the compensation is the time when the Project is
officially announced to the affected villages by the government of Mandula town.
Announcement will be disclosed through distribution of resettlement information booklet or
posting notices in the village community boards. Any newly claimed land, newly built house
or settlement in the project area by the APs after this date will not be entitled to
compensation or subsidization.
4.5. Compensation Rates
4.5.1. Compensation Standards for Collective Grassland
50. The construction of the expansion project of Mandula port freight passage will involve
the acquisition of 279.11 mu (Grade IV) of Eerdengaobao village of Mandula town. In order
to strengthen the protection, management, construction and rational utilization of
grasslands and safeguard the vital interests of herdsmen of all ethnic groups, the people's
government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the notice on the collection and
use of grassland vegetation recovery fees (internal affairs issue no. [2012] No. 8), which
came into effect on January 1, 2012. The grassland compensation fee shall be
compensated in accordance with the uniform annual output value of land expropriated by
the Inner Mongolia autonomous region according to the notice of the general office of the
people's government of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region on promulgation of the
standard for uniform annual output value of land expropriated by the region and the
comprehensive land price expropriated by the region (No. 4 [2018] issued by the internal
affairs office, effective from April 1, 2018) issued by the Inner Mongolia autonomous region
government.
51. The acquired grassland is Grade IV, identified by the Department of Natural
Resources of Damaoqi County of No. 39 of the PRC Law of Grassland and 9th, 10th and
11th of Ministry of Agriculture for the Requisition and Occupation of Grassland on the
Examination, Approval and Administration. According to the notice of the general office of
23
the people's government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on promulgation of the
standard of uniform annual output value of land expropriation and comprehensive land
price expropriation in the autonomous region (No. 4 [2018] issued by the internal affairs
office, effective from April 1, 2018), the government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous
Region has promulgated the uniform annual output value of land expropriation. The
grassland compensation standard is calculated as 30 times of the average annual output
value of the three years prior to the expropriation of the grassland, namely (92.97*30=2789
yuan/mu). The compensation standard of Damaoqi County grassland is shown in table 4-

52. Since the acquired grasslands in this project are collective grassland, most of them
are owned by herdsmen, except a few of which are owned by village collective. The
herdsmen have the right of land ownership (the grassland certificate), hence, according to
the grassland law, all the land compensation for the acquisition of the collective grassland
of village will be directly compensated to Eerdengaobao village; for the acquired grassland
of the herdsman, the land compensation and resettlement fee shall be fully compensated
to the herdsman according to the actual construction.
4.6. Other Fees 53. This project belongs to the public utility construction project, the state-owned land will
be acquired by means of allocation, there is no need to pay the state-owned land transfer
fee, but some necessary land procedures need to be gone through.
54. In addition to the state-owned construction land, cultivated land, grassland, unused
land and other types of land, the use fee for new construction land shall be paid by the
land-use unit to the Department of Natural Resources, and the land type shall be converted
to state-owned construction land. In addition, for the acquisition of grassland, a grassland
restoration fee shall be paid to the local grassland department. The grassland restoration
fee of this project is 2500 yuan/mu.

5. Resettlement Measures and Restoration 5.1. Resettlement & Recovery Plan for Collective Grassland 55. Through the grassland supervision station and the responsible person of Eerdengaobao
village, grassland of Eerdengaobao village belongs to village collective, except a small
amount grassland owned by village collective, most of them are owned by herdsmen and
they have the land ownership. Therefore, the compensation for all acquired collective
grassland will be directly paid to Eerdengaobao village and the compensation for the
grassland of herdsmen will be directly paid to the herdsmen.
56. In this sub-project, the impact of grassland acquisition is mainly caused by Mandula port
freight passage expansion, affected people will lose only a small amount of their land.
Therefore, land acquisition has little impact on herdsmen’s production and income. According
to the land-loss analysis in table 2-2, among the three affected households, the land-loss rate
is 0.13% at the minimum and 1.4% at the maximum, and the average land-loss rate is 0.55%.
According to the social survey, the subsidy for banning grazing in this project is 7.5 yuan/mu,
and the estimated annual income loss is 1236 yuan. It can be seen that the compensation
cost of land acquisition is about 372 times of the income loss, and the compensation is far
higher than the actual value of planting. See more details in table 5-1.

57. According to the survey, 3 affected households prefer to opt cash compensation. They
wish to get the compensation timely and fully. Once they get the compensation, they want to
invest compensation in learning skill and engage in business.
5.2. Jobs and Opportunities Created in Project 58. During project construction and operation period, the Damaoqi County PMO and
Mandula town will give priority to the APs to participate in the project construction. For
example, some positions without professional skills will be given to them; non-technical public
welfare positions generated by the project will give on priority to vulnerable households
during the project construction and operation (if any). Construction contractors present
requirements including type of work and the number of workers to the local government
27
before entering the construction site and negotiate training matters so that more APs can
benefit from it. During consultations with the APs, the APs would like to participate in the
trainings. After the completion of Mandula port international logistics park road upgrading
project, border trade, tourism and logistics will be greatly improved, .the port needs a large
number of staff, including park service staff, green management workers, lighting
maintenance and management workers, equipment and vehicle drivers, water supply and
drainage maintenance, etc. In terms of estimation of the PMO and the DI, 787 of job
opportunities will be created during the implementation and operation period of the project.
The estimated jobs of the project are shown in table 5-2 and table 5-3.
59. The job opportunities will also be provided to the affected households who were already
compensated for the existing freight passage, logistics park services and logistics park
customs supervision zone of Mandula port international logistics park road upgrading project
and the Mandula port quarantine and sheep breeding center mutton sheep industry
comprehensive development integration project. (see DDR Appendix 1).

5.3. Skills and Other Technical Training 60. In addition to monetary compensation to the APs, the PMO and Damaoqi County will
facilitate the conduct of series of technical training for herdsmen affected by LA. The
government will provide training subsidies. In this subproject, there are 16 training positions
and each person will get two sessions of training. 40% of person-times of training will be
reserve for women (See Table 5-4).
61. The PMO will facilitate and invite relevant technical personnel from livestock sector,
labor and social security departments to conduct trainings to the APs. Each household will
at least accept one-time breeding technical training and non-agricultural production training.
Through these measures, skills will be improved to increase the economic income of those
affected people. Vocational skill training shall be conducted by administrative departments
of labor and social security, various education and training institutions, industries and
employing units, with emphasis on breeding technology, business training and skill training.
62. In addition, according to the interview, there are two women cooperatives in Mandula
town where they also provide training to herders on animal breeding.
63. Institutional framework: Damaoqi County Labor and Social Security Bureau is
responsible for skills training, and the animal husbandry training shall be carried out by
Mandula town with the cooperation of village/villages. The PMO will designate a special
officer to be in charge of the training of the APs and to promote APs’ participation in skill
training programs of the government.
64. It is noted that in addition to the 3 households affected by the project, the affected 989
households for whom have been completed land transfer (see Appendix 1 DDR), they are
also the part of the subproject, the training matters also apply for them, and they can
participate the training issues for free and priority.
65. Expenditure Guarantee: the subproject plans to spend 90,000 yuan on training
expenses including funding, materials fee, printing materials fee, appraisal fee, fee for
internship, and teachers’ salaries. The funds will come from the government of Damao baner

5.5. Ethnic Minority Development
67. Three households with 12 people of ethnic minorities are affected by LA, all of them are
Mongolian. The village are mostly Mongolian ethnic groups. They live in harmony together
with other ethnic groups. The affected ethnic minorities in this project enjoy the same social
and economic status as the Han nationality but retain their national characteristics in life
habits and religious beliefs. 68. The impacts on their land is minimal and compensation standards established, provision
of skills training, and other project benefits will apply to affected households regardless of
ethnicity. During the consulting period, we found that all the stakeholders including the Aps
can understand and write Han language well, in such, all the FGDs as well as the consultation
were conducted in Han language. No translators were engaged, by the way the resettlement
agency who are not Mongolians.

6. Public Participation and Grievance Redress 6.1. Consultation Carried out at Preparation Stage
6.1.1. Completed Public Consultations
69. The PMO and Design Institute (DI), consultant agency for resettlement, local
communities and APs shared project information on many occasions, especially during public
consultations conducted from August 14, 2019 to August 22, 2019:
(i) Design optimization discussions in order to minimize LA and resettlement
impacts;
(ii) Impact survey based on the FSR to get detailed information on population,
houses, land, special facilities, APs;

mechanism, importance of consultations and disclosure.
32
Picture 6-1: Public Participation and Consultations with APs 70. The public participation and consultation provided a basis for the improvement of the
RP. In the process of consultation, Mongolian translators and staff were present to enable
ethnic minority villagers to fully express their wishes and facilitate communication.
71. Through public participation meetings and socio-economic surveys, it was found that the
concerns of AHs were mainly concentrated in the following aspects�
(i) Since the impacts of LA are not significant, the LA will have little impact of
their incomes and livelihoods. Their only concern is whether the
compensation can be paid on time. At the same time, it is better to carry out
some farming, breeding, housekeeping, cook and other aspect training, like
carrying out border training and translation training.
(ii) During investigation and consultation, LA office of Mandula town,
Eerdengaobao village and resettlement agency consulted with APs for LA
compensation and resettlement issues about monetary compensation, all
affected people who affected by land acquisition wish to receive monetary
compensation.
(iii) Due to the construction of the project, the construction process may cause
noise, dust, construction waste; and have to take measures to deal with or
mitigate pollutions;
(iv) The project construction period and dates should be published promptly to
inform the residents living nearby, let them know the inconvenience in
advance; and
(v) Providing them employment opportunities during the construction.
72. Based on the above discussions, the PMO�
(i) has developed land acquisition compensation standards and will inform to the
APs in advance. After the agreement is signed, the land compensation will be
paid timely;
33
(ii) discussed with Mandula town People's Government about APs most
concerned issues, such as the resettlement work, and discussed with the
labor and social security bureau about the relevant training issues for affected
HHs;
(iii) will provide special technical training to APs on industries, production
processes, and will give priority to them in choosing non-technical workers
during the construction and operation of subprojects; and
(iv) has established and publicized transparent and effective GRM. The important
consultation and conference questions during project preparation were listed
in table 6-1.

the Babudaoergu’s son, there are 5 members in his family, his parents live in the
neighborhood. The family has a total grassland of 9166 mu. The source of income is the
subsidy income of granzing ban, in addition to his wife to work, he will also take some odd
jobs. The annual income is about100,000 yuan. The family income is fairly good. They had
learned about this project in the village committee, they support the construction of
Mandula port logistics park, and they satisfied that compensation policy and standard are
well known. He intends to use this compensation money to other input (the principal of
doing business in the port free trade zone), he hopes that compensation can issued on
time and the project can complete as soon as possible, then he can do business.
& Interview 2: Alatanqiqige, female, shepherd from Eerdengaobao village, Mongolian.
There are 3 members in her family. This project will acquire about12.1 mu grassland in the
family. The village committee has organized a forum to inform us of project content and
the project construction significance. In addition, also explained the grassland
compensation policy, compensation standards and so on, some of grassland had been
acquired before, compensation standards in accordance with national policies and
regulations. In addition, we have heard that ADB project will also provide training and some
employment opportunities for APs, especially for women, which makes us look forward to
the implementation of the project as soon as possible. They suggested that environment
of logistics park should be improved so that coal ash does not flow to the grassland.
37
& Interview 3: Eerdengdalai, Mongolian, 43 years old, with four family members, whose
wife is 42 years old, has 2 sons, one is a college student in Hu province, 20 years old, the
other one is pupil, 6 years old. They have a house with 63� in Mandula town except self-
living, which is used for hotel and restaurant. Because their youngest son will go to school
this year, they are too busy to run restaurant, so they closed the restaurant. The hotel is
still running. Her pasture was expropriated in the port construction project before. The
compensation standard was in accordance with national policies and regulations, and the
interests of us should be fully taken into account. The compensation was timely distributed
to them after the land expropriation agreement was signed, they were satisfied.
38
6.2. Public Participation and Consultation Plan
73. This RP is prepared based on the FSR and the socio-economic survey data of the
subproject. If there is any change in the subproject after the detailed design is completed,
the RP will be updated according to the final detail measurement survey(DMS) and the
census data of Aps, and before the civil engineering contract of the subproject is awarded,
the updated RP shall be submitted to ADB for review and approved by ADB.

6.3. Appeal Procedures (Grievance Redress Mechanism)
76. Since public participation is encouraged during the preparation and implementation of
the RP, no substantial disputes are anticipated. However, unforeseeable circumstances
may arise during this process. In order to address such issues effectively and ensure the
successful implementation of the subproject’s land acquisition in a transparent manner, an
accessible and effective grievance redress mechanism has been established. The
mechanism is shown in figure 6-1. The basic grievance redress system is as follows�
Stage 1: If an AP is dissatisfied with any LA and resettlement safeguard issue,
he/she can file an oral or written appeal with the community Mandula town or
village committees. In case of an oral appeal, the Mandula town or village
committees will handle the appeal and keep records. Such appeal should be
solved within 2 weeks�
Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may
file an appeal with Damaoqi County Natural Resources Department or the LA
and HD management office (depending upon the issue) after receiving such
disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks.
Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she
may file an appeal with Damaoqi County Natural Resources Department
receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks.
Stage 4: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she
may apply for administrative reconsideration with Damaoqi County
Government after receiving such disposition within 3 months.
If an AP is still not satisfied and believes they have been harmed due to non-
compliance with ADB policy and they have made good faith efforts to solve
their problems by working with the ADB Project Team, they may submit a
complaint in accordance with ADB’s Accountability Mechanism. The
information on how to make a complaint can be found at internet site
www.adb.org/Accountability-Mechanism/).
41
77. Mass media will be used to strengthen the publicity and reporting of resettlement
issues, their resolution and follow-up activities, and comments and suggestions on
resettlement from all parties.
78. During the construction and implementation phases of the subproject, the appeal
procedures (GRM) will remain effective to ensure that the APs can use them to address
relevant issues and grievances.

Appendix 1: DDR of Mandula Port Isolation Site and Breeding
Sheep Expansion Base Mutton Sheep Industry Comprehensive
Development Integration Project
1. Project Introduction
The project construction site is located in Tuyou Banner, Damaoqi County
and Guyang County, of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The
main construction contents include the construction of improved breeding
bases, the construction of animal quarantine isolation sites at Mandula Port, the
upgrading of breeding bases, the construction of retrospective management
systems, the poverty alleviation funds for the meat sheep industry, and the
construction of the Tuyou Banner slaughtering and processing logistics base.
Among them, the newly renovated and expanded infrastructure mainly consists
of four parts: (1) Renovation of breeding bases (in No. 4 Ranch), whose
construction contents include the trough, the green storage, the excretion
storage site, crematorium, the sick sheep isolation house and other related
facilities; (2) One new animal quarantine isolation site at Mandula Port, whose
construction contents include sheep house, activity fence, supporting house,
supporting facilities, sheep platform, grass shed, road works, wall,
crematorium, etc.; (3) Five breeding bases are to be transformed, whose
construction contents include mainly sheep house renovation, management
room renovation, roof sun panel renovation, outside playground fence, trough,
wall maintenance, sewage pipe network, road Reconstruction, main road
reconstruction, auxiliary road reconstruction, wall reconstruction, hydropower
project, greening, crematorium, etc. (4) One new slaughtering and processing
base, the main construction contents include the waiting quarters, slaughtering
and processing workshops, cold storage, chillers, thermal insulation systems,
comprehensive research and development buildings, debris storage, sewage
treatment workshops, boiler rooms, fire rooms, carports, site hardening, sheep
60
slaughtering and dividing production line, and mutton finishing production line,
etc.
The ADB project includes the transformation of five breeding bases, the
construction of an animal quarantine isolation site, and the construction of a
new slaughtering and processing base. The five breeding bases that have been
reconstructed have completed the land contracting/transfer agreement with the
original owner before the original construction started, and completed the land
transfer procedure; the newly built slaughtering and processing base uses the
land transferred from the government and has obtained the property right
certificate. Before the transfer, it belongs to the reserved land of the government
and does not involve land acquisition and demolition; a grassland transfer
agreement has been signed for the newly built animal quarantine isolation site.
For the isolation site, there is no concrete plan yet if the land transfer contract
ending April 2023 will be renewed or acquire the land as it will really depend on
negotiation with one household (4 persons) and plans of the Government in
2023. Renewal of the land transfer contract with the household will follow the
principles of fairness, just, reasonable and transparent land transfer process.
The Government will report on the planned renewal of the land transfer contract
including the land transfer process to be carried out to ADB for review and
concurrence. In the event that the Government decides to acquire the 200 mu
of land for the isolation site, an Updated Resettlement Plan will be prepared in
accordance with the Resettlement Plan prepared for the Mandula Subproject
and will be submitted to ADB for review and concurrence prior to land
acquisition. This due diligence reviewed the completed land transfer work to
understand its real situation, compensation and resettlement of the affected
residents.
2. Preparation of Due Diligence Report
The preparation of the project's resettlement due diligence report was
completed by Inner Mongolia Xiaoweiyang Animal Husbandry Technology Co.,
61
Ltd. and Beijing Haohan Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. During the period
from July 7th, 2019 to July 13th, 2019, the research team has worked on Inner

4. Social and Economic Analysis of the Affected People
The land transfer in the project land began in May 2010. By April 2019,
1,733.53 mu has completed land transfer; the government sold 92.88 mu of
state-owned vacant land; a total of 1,826.41 mu of land was transferred,
affecting 989 households with 3,707 people in 6 villages, including 20 minority
people in 13 households. This due diligence investigation report selected all the
6 village committees affected, and randomly conducted a socio-economic
sample survey of 120 villagers and 413 family members (including 14 minority
persons in 5 households). The survey included analysis of the occupation,
income and expenditure of the villagers and the income of the male and female
laborers.
55.31% of the affected laborers are engaged in animal husbandry and
agricultural production, and most of the project transfer land is idle wasteland,
so the impact on the affected villagers' living aquaculture and agricultural
production activities is small. Therefore, the affected villagers can continue to
engage in farming. In addition, urban employment accounts for 7.10%. Some
affected people choose to go out to work in the town center to find jobs, such
as working in the cooperation zone or in various banner counties and Baotou
66
City, like doing small trades, porter works, renovations, etc, in counties or
banners.
Before the transfer, the 1,530.43 mu of land transferred by the project is
unallocated collective wasteland and barren hill, which is in a long-term idle
state. Before the 3.1 mu transfer, it is cultivated land (non-basic farmland).
Therefore, the area occupied by the villagers' arable land is very small, which
has little impact on the existing production and lifestyle of the villagers. In
addition, some affected people choose to work in the city. The economic
income and expenditure of the 120 households affected by land acquisition are
shown in Table 4. The livelihood sources and income levels of households
affected by land occupation are shown in Table 5.

After the land were transferred, the income of the villagers before the
transfer of land increased by 7.87%--32.40%. As can be seen in Table 6, the
income of the villagers in the affected areas is mainly based on the income from
employment, accounting for 43.82% of the total income; the agricultural income
accounts for 29.45%; and the household wage income accounts for 15.06%.
Although the affected villages are mainly based on agriculture, the source of
household income is not more than non-agricultural income. See Table 6.

Figure 2 Household Expenditures in 2018
In order to better determine the income level of the affected male laborer
and female labor force separately, 120 households were randomly selected
from the survey samples for investigation, as shown in Table 8. The analysis
results show that the average annual income of the male labor force is 13,144
yuan, and the average annual income of the female labor force is 8,768 yuan.
The reason for this difference is that men are more likely to work in non-
agricultural jobs than women. Women often find it difficult to leave home for a
long time due to taking care of their children, patients and the elderly. Therefore,
they usually only work in short-term jobs close to home. Compared with men,
women’s education is low, which also affects women’s income levels.

6.1 Price of Land use right transfer
The classification guides the circulation price. According to the combined
requirements of scientific calculation, realistic comparison and increasing
range, the land and grassland turnover price is determined. At the same time,
according to the characteristics of the terrain, infrastructure facilities, location
advantages, etc., the corresponding floating income is determined. At present,
the Banner and County Government has no specific limit on the price of land
transfer. The price is determined by the transfer party and the village committee
and must be decided through collective discussion by the villagers' congress.
Interviewee: Mr. Sun, Haizi Township Government
The government encourages farmers and herdsmen to carry out land transfer
and develop industries and scale agriculture. Generally, the price of land
transfer is negotiated with the village committee. The banner government and
the township government have no specific price control, but they play a
supervisory role. The specific price is related to the location of the land being
transferred, as well as the conditions and type of land use. In the same
73
location, the wasteland is the cheapest, with similar conditions, the better the
traffic conditions, the higher the price. According to the 30-year circulation
period, the land price of the Xiaoweiyang breeding base No. 1, No. 2, and
No. 3 is now somewhere between 5,000 yuan/mu and 7,000 yuan/mu. Other
plots are to be decided by the market at the time their are circulated.
7. Provide Job Opportunities and Training for Affected People
What needs to be noticed is that the households affected by the land
transfer has completed the land transfer. They will also be given priority in
obtaining employment opportunities, as mentioned in the resettlement plan.
It is estimated that approximately 547 jobs will be created during the project
implementation and operation.

The survey found that since the establishment of No. 1 Ranch in
Xiaoweiyang Group in 2010, it has provided various forms of training for the
surrounding farmers and herdsmen. The training targets not only affected
farmers and herdsmen, but also other villagers. The main content of the training
includes feeding techniques, ewes and lamb care techniques, crop planting
techniques, etc. All training is free and can be attended by anyone without
restrictions. The training is mainly carried out during the slack season. Usually,
the Xiaoweiyang Group will send its own technical staff or hire local
professionals to come to the training. Generally, the contact information will be
left after the training is over. After the training, farmers and herdsmen can
contact the technical staff to ask questions. Some of the training activities
carried out in 2018 are detailed in the table below.

and vote on the scope of circulation, the time of transfer, and the compensation
criteria. After the meeting contents were passed and agreed, a meeting record
was formed and publicized in the public notice column of the village committee.
(3) Land transfer work and fee payment
In the land survey, circulation agreement negotiation and compensation
fee payment, the village cadres and village representatives participated in the
whole process to ensure fair, just, reasonable and transparent land transfer
process.
(4) Announcement of land transfer and fund allocation
76
Before signing the transfer contract, the land transfer announcement was
posted in the village committee. The main contents included the project
overview, circulation scope, compensation standard and actual table.

cooking, and cleaning,etc. Housework are all undertaken by women. Women work at home for farming, male
work outside, participate in community meetings and public events. General family decision-making and
important family issues are made by men.
I have heard but don't know much about this project. I learned through government announcements and
village cadres &representatives. I know the content of this project has the construction of good breeding base
and animal isolation site at the Mandula Port. I support the project to be implemented in the village, because
the implementation of this project will have many advantages for the villagers, it is very necessary, and it is
necessary for our farmers to have certain benefits; it can help us to significantly improve the employment
