Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

In 2012, the National Standardization Management Commission and 26 other central commissions, ministries, and agencies issued the Notification of Social Management and Public Service Standardization with a view to enhance service quality and public satisfaction, and equalize basic public services. The notification urged the National Standardization Management Commission, together with local governments and central ministries and agencies, to launch national standardization pilot projects in 11 social management and public service areas. Public employment services were one of the 11 areas in which Dalian, Jiaozuo, and Kunming public employment service agencies have been selected as national pilot projects.

Located in northwestern Henan Province, Jiaozuo is a prefectural-level municipality with a population of 3.68 million. This resource-exhausted municipality is currently undergoing critical development (industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization, and development of telecommunications infrastructure) as a provincial level economic transformation demonstration city. The equalization of basic public services is an urgent task as the demonstration city. Since 2014, the Labor Exchange Center of the Jiaozuo Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security has been implementing, in collaboration with the Henan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, a national pilot project for the standardization of public employment services to enhance quality and effectiveness of its services as well as those in 11 district and/or county centers, 102 township stations, and 1,826 village stations, which it supervises.

The TA will provide support for the national pilot project in Jiaozuo to: (i) upgrade the existing standards and complete the whole set of standards for public employment services to be adopted at the national level; (ii) have the standards applied at the municipal, district/county, township, and village levels through training and development of IT platform for public employment services; and (iii) document and disseminate its experience and standards.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB
The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
