This is highly likely as these indicators are associated with the commissioning of the two wastewater treatment plants as well as the sewerage network in Bukhara and Samarkand. The total disbursements have reached US$103.6 million, or 73.4% percent of total IDA credits. To date, around 86,000 new household sewerage connections (benefitting 436,000 people) have been completed, enabling expanded access to critical sewerage services. 12/24/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Uzbekistan Bukhara and Samarkand Sewerage Project (P112719) The project is financing 15 works contracts (7 contracts in Bukhara and 8 in Samarkand), 6 contracts have been completed and 9 remaining active contracts are at various implementation progress status but, all are in schedule to be completed by the project closing date (November 30, 2021). SVK/W/01R for the rehabilitation of Samarkand wastewater treatment plant is showing good progress despite COVID19 Pandemic impacts. The two delayed packages of (i) BVK/W/03 and (ii) BVK/W/04 for the construction of sewerage collection system in Bukhara are scheduled to close satisfactorily under the new contractual arrangement as remaining works under these two contracts has been awarded to well-performing contractors. BVK/W/01 for the rehabilitation of Bukhara wastewater treatment plant has been suffering serious delays related to contract management. Issues are expected to be settled by December 31, 2020 and feasible implementation arrangement will be imposed to ensure smooth completion of the contract. Moving forward and to maintain close monitoring, the implementing entities will hold weekly meetings with contractors to review progress and to strictly enforce any contractual remedies - to support and, incentivize progress and performance. Institutional strengthening activities under Component A, have progressed modestly over the reporting period, but are largely expected to be completed prior to the project closure on November 30, 2021.
