Jiangxi Ganzhou Rural Vitalization and Comprehensive Environment Improvement Project

About this project

The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is one of the three key economic growth engines in the People?s Republic of China (PRC). Its nine provinces and two specially administered municipalities account for over 40% of the population, 40% of freshwater resources, and about 45% of the country?s economic output. While the YREB has benefited from extensive development since the 1980s, economic growth in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River Basin lags that of the coastal areas. These parts of the YREB still face significant challenges as a result of (i) weak institutional coordination for strategic planning; (ii) increasing pollution and pressure on natural resources; (iii) slow transformation into green development; and (iv) limited integration of waterways, ports, and intermodal logistics. To manage these challenges, the Government of the PRC formulated the YREB development plan 2016?2030. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government have agreed to adopt a framework approach. Priority is given to: (i) institutional strengthening and policy reform; (ii) ecosystem restoration, environmental protection, and management of water resources; (iii) inclusive green industrial transformation; and (iv) construction of an integrated multimodal transport corridor.
