(i) institutional strengthening and policy reform;

It intends to apply water resource management, consistent with international best practice. In 2017, GMG established the Ganzhou Ecological Protection Center to strengthen its capacity, in line with the National Strategic Plan for Rural Vitalization, 2018 2022, the Jiangxi Provincial Government issued local implementation guidelines.

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
