| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | Output 2 will involve civil works in new urban areas of Xinfu District whose impacts are expected to be insignificant. Potential environmental impacts include (i) dust, noise, and soil runoff during construction; (ii) temporary traffic disturbances because of transportation of construction materials; (iii) risks to community and workers' health and safety during construction; and (iv) wastewater and solid waste generated during construction and operation. Environmental Management Plan defines mitigation measures, monitoring requirements, and institutional arrangements to ensure proper environmental management throughout construction and operation. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | The project will require permanent land occupation of 913.98 mu (574.57 mu of rural collectively-owned land and 339.41 mu of state-owned land). Xinzhou Municipal Government acquired 211.41 mu of the state-owned land (339.41 mu) without anticipating the project. The proposed acquisition of collectively-owned land will affect 270 households with 923 persons and 43 leaseholders. While seven of the leaseholders use the land for agricultural purposes, 36 leaseholders do not use the land for any productive purposes. No house demolition or impacts on businesses are expected. Resettlement plans have been prepared to address land acquisition impacts associated with the establishment of Agriculture Vocational Education School and Culture and Tourism Vocational Education School. Income losses for the affected households are estimated to be about 1% of the household incomes which is considered insignificant. Due diligence report on prior land acquisition for Senior Technician School confirmed that there are no past or present concerns, outstanding grievances, or complaints related to involuntary resettlement. |
| Indigenous Peoples | There are no ethnic minority population in Xinzhou, and therefore, no impacts on indigenous peoples are expected. |
| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | Relevant government agencies, secondary and tertiary technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, enterprises, and industry associations were consulted in the course of designing the project. |
| During Project Implementation | Project information will be communicated through ADB's and government's websites, stakeholder consultation workshops and meetings, training, seminars, and mass media in accordance with the requirements of ADB's information disclosure policy. With the support of the consulting firms engaged under the project, the partnership taskforces for the priority industries will hold consultation workshops and meetings with various industry stakeholders to discuss findings of green growth industry assessment reports and prepare green industrial development masterplans and skills frameworks (output 1). The development of competency-based curriculum, training materials, and assessment tools will involve key enterprises, industry associations, TVET and higher education institutions (output 2). Center of innovation and excellence will share and disseminate resources, good practices, and lessons developed under the project with TVET institutions in and outside Xinzhou through its online platform, workshops, training, and seminars (output 3). Project management office, supported by the consulting firm for project implementation support, will coordinate stakeholder communication activities under the project. |
