| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | Outputs 1 and 2 will involve civil works on existing campuses or reserved lands that may have some temporary and site-specific environmental impacts. Any physical activity of the program that may be classified category A for the ADB environment safeguards is excluded from the program scope. The following gaps identified in the program safeguard system will be addressed through the program action plan and attached TA: inadequate disclosure of environmental monitoring reports and public engagement during construction, and some difference in categorization criteria for civil works and related environmental impact assessment requirements. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | Outputs 1 and 2 will involve civil works on existing campuses or reserved lands that may have potential involuntary resettlement impacts. Any physical activity of the program that may be classified category A for the ADB involuntary resettlement safeguards is excluded from the program scope. The following gaps identified in the program safeguard system will be addressed through the program action plan and attached TA: lack of identification of the poor and vulnerable groups during the screening process, lack of documentation of the consultation and information disclosure activities, and grievances received, and inadequate institutional arrangements, monitoring, and reporting arrangements. |
| Indigenous Peoples | Output 3 will support students from poor ethnic minority families and ethnic culture inheritance and innovation. The following gaps identified in the program safeguard system will be addressed through the program action plan and attached TA: lack of an effective monitoring and reporting system to analyze the performance of students from ethnic minority groups other than the Zhuang. |
| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | Consultations on poverty, social, and gender issues were conducted through (i) about 40 focus group discussions in 12 TVET institutions (4 tertiary TVET colleges and 8 secondary TVET schools), in which different groups of students (secondary and/or tertiary, female and/or male, ethnic minority and/or Han, poor and/or not poor, and disabled and/or not disabled) took part; (ii) about 30 key informant interviews with management teams of TVET institutions, representatives of students and teachers, and staff of relevant government agencies. |
| During Project Implementation | Industry associations will be involved in developing curriculum, training materials and methods, and assessments; delivering training; and providing research, recommendations, and guidance to align TVET with human resources needs in industries. Effects of the program on TVET graduates will be assessed annually through annual TVET graduate employment surveys. |
