Main stakeholders are the Hebi City Government and the governments of Qibin District and Qi and Xun Counties, which will be the executing and implementing agencies, as well as project neighborhoods and villages. Beneficiaries are represented through their village committees. The stakeholders will be consulted during project design to ensure the project design corresponds to their needs. Particularly, negatively-affected people will be consulted through participatory meetings, to ensure their voices are heard.

During the PPTA, nonstructural measures which will benefit poor and vulnerable people will be identified. These would include activities to manage environment and floods, such as community-based flood and environmental management.

The project will have economic and physical displacement impacts that have to be mitigated, and people to be displaced will be consulted. Poor and vulnerable displaced people should be better off after displacement, through livelihood restoration measures.

The key, active, and relevant civil society organizations in the project area and the level of participation in the project design are (i) information generation and sharing; and (ii) consulation with village and neighborhood representation, women's federation, and community-based groups.

The design of livelihood restoration measures for people to be displaced and the design of nonstructural measures will need the participation of poor and vulnerable beneficiaries.
