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.

The proposed project aims to strengthen rural livelihoods, especially the rural residents, who have the natural-based livelihoods, to modernize their agriculture production systems and minimize environmental degradation and nonpoint source (NPS) pollution.

The proposed project will be implemented in five provinces and one municipality in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River Basin including Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Chongqing, Hunan, and Hubei. The project area covers 48 counties, which are characterized by the prevalence of low and medium agriculture productivity; high risk and occurrence of soil erosion; high levels of agriculture NPS pollution; lack of irrigation systems; limited farm access roads; and are in need for modernization and were selected based on geographical, financial, environmental and social criteria.

The project will have three outputs:

  • Modern farming systems applied;
  • Agriculture nonpoint source pollution reduced; and
  • Institutional capacity and coordination strengthened.

These outputs will result in the following outcome: sustainable and modern agriculture production systems established in the participating project provinces. In summary, the project aims to improve environmental protection, rehabilitation, and management of the Yangtze River.

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
