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.

According to the bank document, the proposed project particularly aims to assist Xianyou County in Putian City, Fujian Province of the PRC in developing an integrated solution to flood control, ecological restoration, and water quality improvement of Mulan River, taking into consideration of climate change and environmental management to contribute to the achievement of the government's goal of fostering green, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive growth for rural development.

The project will promote financial innovation and an integrated approach for rural vitalization and will bring direct benefits to inclusive development, environmental conservation, and ecological preservation, while targeting global and public goods, and inclusive growth. The project will have three outputs:

Output 1: Innovative financing mechanism piloted.

Output 2: Institutional capacity for environmental management strengthened.

Output 3: Flood management, ecological restoration, sanitation, and water resources improvement systems installed.

These outputs will result in the following outcome: flood and environmental risks in the Mulan River mitigated. The project will be aligned with the following impact: quality of rural life enhanced.

The project will address two specific institutional issues on environmental management: financing and capacity strengthening. The use of land value capture method will be a demonstrative financial innovation to establish a sustainable financing mechanism for environmental management. The capacity strengthening will reinforce know-how and coordination for planning and implementing integrated approach to environmental management. The experience and knowledge gained through this project can be replicated in other rural areas in the PRC and in the region.

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
