The 12 northern cities and counties of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (5 cities, 7 counties, and one irrigated district which is in the process of applying
for promotion to county status) is an area with one of the lowest annual precipitation levels in China. Through planting of vegetation (approximately
35,000ha), establishing erosion control shelter forest, and commercial forest (totaling approximately 23,000ha) and development of forestation andvegetation planting facilities in 35 locations in above area, the goal is to contribute to measurable increase in the target area’s ratio of forest andvegetation coverage, and thereby halting the progressive desertification of the target and surrounding regions, while reducing poverty among local
farmers through participation in forestation and vegetation planting activities.

Ex-Ante Evaluation Results (March 2003)(1) National policy level
The Chinese government established “National Plan for
Ecological Construction” in 1998 as a national framework forthe next 50 years relating to environmental protection acrossthese four sectors: forest industry, water utilization,
agriculture, and environmental protection. The same plan
included short term plans until 2010, mid-term plans until
2030, and long term plans reaching to 2050, establishingconservation of soil erosion areas and zones undergoingdesertification, increasing forest areas, increased forest
coverage and improving the ratio of forest as targets. This
project is positioned as a project especially to contribute to theconservation of zones undergoing desertification andimproving ratio of forest.

Mid-Term Review Results and Expected Ex-Post
Evaluation Results at the Time of the Mid-Term Review(1) National policy level
From 2006, China has entered its 11th Five Year Plan
period (lasting until 2010). The “National Plan for
Ecological Construction” is currently implementing the “Six
Key Forestry Programs” (see note 1) as a concrete
forestation plan. This project constitutes one part within the
Six Key Forestry Programs’ “Three North Shelter Program”(Northwest, Northeast, Due North). Furthermore, the “Great
Western Development” (see note 2) is also to be continuallypromoted, and ecological projects such as counter
desertification measures and grassland restoration are being
implemented. Due to increasing income disparity, China isfocusing on a response to the Three Rural Issues (agriculture,rural areas, and farmers), as well as aiming for a balanced
society (Harmonious Society) with improvements to theenvironment. In addition, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous
Region’s government is also strongly focuses on sustainable
development for the length of the 11th Five Year Plan
(2006-2010) and aims for balanced development of
economy, society, and environment. In this way, environment
improvement projects, including this project, have become
positioned as even more important to national policy during
the 11th Five Year Plan.
(Note 1) The Six Key Forestry Programs are: “The Natural Forest
Resource Protection Program,” “The Three Northern Regions and the
Yangtze River Basin Shelter Forest Programs,” “The Program ofConverting Farmland Back to Forest,” “The Program of Wildlife
Protection and Nature Reserves,” “The Anti-desertification Program2

around Beijing” and “The Fast-Growing Timber Forest BaseDevelopment Program”. The areas targeted by these plans cover over
97 percent of China’s territory, with planned forestation of 1.1 billionmǔ (approximately 73.3 million hectares) and gross investment
totaling 700 billion yuan.
(Note 2) The Great Western Development is a focused mission overthe 10 year period from 2001 to 2010, based on the outline in the“State Council Notification on Several Policy Measures for Great
Western Development”, proposed by President Jiang Zemin in June
1999, and announced in December 2000. It aims to correct the
disparities that arose as a result of the prioritized development ofeastern coastal regions. Infrastructure development, ecological andenvironmental protection, agricultural improvements, science andtechnology education, etc. are to be implemented in 10 western
provinces, 2 central autonomous regions, and autonomous prefecturesin 3 central provinces.

(2) Policy level(2) Policy level
As a national policy, the “National Plan for Ecological
Construction” establishes four areas (upper and central Yellow
River basin, upper and central Yangtze River basin, desert
regions, and prairies) as priority areas that should be focusedin the short-term plan (lasting until 2010). This project’s
target, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, corresponds tothe “desert regions” classification in that list, and as part ofthat policy, this project undertakes projects centering on
shelter forests and prevention of desertification.
Furthermore, environmental protection is one of the priority
areas in JBIC’s Overseas Economic Cooperation Operations
implementation policy, and emphasis is placed on
environmental protection, anti-poverty measures and
3(2) Policy level
There are no changes from the time of the ex-anteevaluation. Under the 11th Five Year Plan, it is planned thatprioritized implementation of ecological projects willcontinue in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, which
includes the target areas. Under the 10th Five Year Plan,
forests covering 15.84 million mǔ (approximately 1.06
million hectares ) were forested in Ningxia, raising forest
coverage ratio from 8.4 percent to 10.5 percent. Improved
desert area increased to 4.47 million mǔ (approximately
300,000ha) and desert was reduced by 381,000 mǔ(approximately 25,000ha) from 1999 through 2004.
Improvement of 2.8 million mǔ (approximately 187,000ha)of desert area and increasing the forest coverage ratio to 18

ODA cooperation implementation policy toward China. As
such, this project is based on policies that reflect the principles
of both Chinese and Japanese sides.
(3) Planning level(3) Planning level
This project undertakes the planting of vegetation, and theestablishment of erosion control shelter forests andcommercial forests in the northern area of Ningxia HuiAutonomous Region. As the target area has one of the lowest
precipitation levels in China, and desertification is progressing
due to causes including over-harvesting of forests andovergrazing, an urgent response is required.
Furthermore, this area has one of the highest poverty rates
in China causing a vicious circle of poverty and environmental
damage, and this project is expected to relieve poverty.

(3) Planning level
The need for desertification prevention is high, and there
is no change from the initial planning stage to give serious
consideration within this project to a poverty relief response
as well. As of December 2006, there is slight delay in theplanting of commercial forest, the remaining initial
forestation/vegetation planting goals have already beenaccomplished.
For forestation that aims for prevention of desertification,a certain level of large-scale investment is required, and thisproject meets that need. Furthermore, by also targeting
commercial forest it is also evaluated as poverty relief
measure.

households will contribute to the improvement of their family
53) Standard of living improvement for the frontier poor
From the point of view of poverty reduction, this projecttakes a role contributing to the harvesting of grazing crops(alfalfa), and increasing opportunities for gaining income
from sales of goods produced from the commercial forests(such as grapes, matrimony vine, and jujube), and medicinal
herbs such as licorice. Furthermore, poverty-stricken
farmers, by providing labor, are involved in this project
directly and indirectly, and there seems to be a degree of

effect on poverty relief from these income sources.
In the year 2000, the average per capita net income in therural village areas of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region wasreported to be 1,724 yuan, however, in 2005, it was shown tohave grown to 2,320 yuan; an increase of approximately 35
percent in five years (or 6.1 percent annually). Over the same
period, compared to the national average of 2,253 yuan in2000 and the 2005 rate of 2,936 yuan gives an increase of
approximately 30 percent (or 5.4 percent taken annually),
with growth in Ningxia outpacing the national average.
(According to the Ningxia Agricultural Comprehensive
Development Office the project implementation area’s
average net income went from 2,245 yuan in 2001 to 2,800
yuan in 2006 showing an approximate 25 percent increase.)
The poverty data for all Ningxia showed a drop inpoverty-stricken population figures from 500,000 in 2000, to
5% of the population or 100,000 people in 2005. (The total
population of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in 2005 was
5.96 million people.)(Source: Home Page of Poverty Alleviation Office of the
Ningxia Autonomous Region)(2) Analysis of factors influencing effectiveness and impact(a) NGO/local government partnership
In China forestation activities by Japanese NGOs and local
governments are being actively undertaken, and informationexchanges and substantial partnerships are also considered forthis project.

(2) Analysis of factors influencing effectiveness and impact(a) NGO/local government partnership
In this project NGO/local government partnership wassought, and in terms of actual results, the projectcommissioned a domestic Chinese NGO, China Association
for NGO Cooperation (CANGO), and undertook training forconcerned parties and farmers in August 2003 on such topics
as techniques and fund management knowledge andprocedures necessary for the project.

With regards to local governments, Shimane Prefecture
entered into a friendship district agreement with Ningxia HuiAutonomous Region in October of 1993, and volunteers
from Shimane Prefecture have been implementing friendshipforestation exchange project in Ningxia Hui, however, thatproject has no direct partnership with this project. According
to Shimane Prefecture, cooperation with forestation activities
as a prefectural project will complete in March of 2007
(FY2006), and from FY2007 forestation activities will startwith an NPO taking the lead role.
Hereafter, this project’s continuing partnership with NGOs
and local governments will not simply increase the project’s
effectiveness, but also in Japan and in China domestically,
deepen understanding of and cooperation with forestation
projects. Therefore, it is considered significant for JBIC tomediate between the Shimane Prefecture, NPO and Ningxia
Hui Autonomous Region, after checking whether or not theexecuting agency has needs, and host events such as
exchange events where forestation experience information
can be shared with each other.
(b) Status of farming household participation
This is a project planned to be implemented through asystem of announcing merits of commercial forests,
cultivation of medicinal herbs, and transition to raising grazing
herds in indoor pens to the farming households that live ateach site, and advertising that they can participate in the
project through deferred payment of business costs forsaplings, etc., and encouraging the application from farming
households. It is estimated to benefit 59,372 households in thetarget year, as well as 38,000 farmers involved in the provision

households had benefited from the project. Furthermore, thenumber of recruited farmers until 2006 was 35,800 people.

households. Ningxia Autonomous Region Department of
Finance reports initially distributing 5,000 of thesenotebooks, and printed 200 more. The farming householdnotebook is not always one per household, but for example
one large household that can take loans (a farming household
operating a large-scale farm) could be representing 10
households.
Ningxia
Agricultural
Comprehensive
Development Office explains that roughly 10% of the
farming household notebooks are distributed to large
households, and that in Yanchi County 48 out of 200
notebooks are distributed to these large households.

(c) Status of advance payment burden of farming households
and repayment terms
Participating farming households’ financial burden includes
the cost of saplings, fertilizer, pesticide, the employment of
supplementary manpower, etc., however, the conditions are;(1) repayment of the principal should start after fruit, feedcrops and so on can provide a cash income, (2) the repayment
term is approximately 20 years, (3) the obligation of shelter
forest area preservation is not excessive, and (4) eachhousehold gains usage rights to approximately 0.8ha ofwasteland.

(c) Status of advance payment burden of farming households
and repayment terms
While this project targets prioritization of poverty-stricken
farming households, it gives loans to farming households
that have financial ability to repay them. As was statedabove, there are examples like those of large households
becoming representative loan recipients or farming
communities’ village council chairmen becoming loan
recipients. Furthermore, people over 60 cannot receive aloan. There is a 10-year deferment period so at the present
time only interest payments are mandatory, and according to
the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Department of Financethere are no late payments of interest. Some of the repayment
terms are based on the terms of Japanese ODA loans,however, they can vary to a wide extent (interest rate of
0.75%-0.9%, repayment period of 15-40 years).

salinization situation periodically.
(e) Cooperation framework with Japan
As was indicated above in item (a), to increase theproject’s effectiveness establishing a continuing cooperative
relationship is important. Forestation projects in China areclosely related to the yellow sand issue, and even in Japan
hold high interest. It follows that it will be necessary for both
the Japanese and Chinese sides to widely share information
about forestation project cooperation as a whole andestablish a network, involving forestation projects via
Japanese ODA loans not only in Ningxia but also in otherareas, cooperation with JICA, cooperation via NGOs and soon.

regarding cultivation, there are no particular problems in thetarget area. In particular, because the cultivation ofcommercial forest, medicinal herbs, and feed crops become
an incentive as they allow gaining of cash income,cultivation by each farming household is being undertaken
without problem.
(b) Operation and maintenance system of terminal irrigation

forest, medicinal herbs, feed crops, etc.
(c) Changes in natural environment
In 2004 and 2005 the amount of precipitation was low,
equaling one third of a normal year (approximately 300mL),
and one of the target areas, Yanchi County, hadapproximately 30 mL. Since this is an arid zone,
water-conserving irrigation is being undertaken as acountermeasure. The target area is relatively blessed withregards to water-intake from sources like undergroundreserves and the Yellow River so this does not seem to posea problem for the time being; however, should the drought
continue it could have an impact on vegetation planting.
Furthermore, the target area is also prone to cold
temperatures, so there is also the possibility of cold weather
damage. In 2005 cold weather had an effect on thecultivation of some grapes.

・ Regarding partnerships with NGOs and local governments, it is desirable to make contact with possible organizations
beforehand at the project formation stage. There are NGOs that deliberately place a distance from official bodies, so it isimportant to gather information ahead of time. Furthermore, partnerships are based on the assumption that they benefit all
parties concerned, and there is a need to make specific targets and expected achievements clear among the parties
concerned.
(Recommendations)・ Regarding the partnership with Shimane Prefecture, from FY 2007 this project will be changed to a project with an NPO
taking the lead, and the possibility of partnership with the NPO remains. There are plans for partnership with Shimane
Prefectures on other projects in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and JBIC should continue to provide support so thepartnership will continue with NPOs, etc., in Shimane Prefectures regarding this case.
