THE BANK-NETHERLANDS WATERPARTNERSHIP­ WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION WINDOWS The mission of the Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership (BNWP) is to improve delivery of water supply and sanitation services to the poor. The partnership enhances performance of World Bank operations in the water supply and sanitation sector and supports a broad sector reform agenda with a strong poverty focus. BNWP activities center on providing support to solve immediate problems with actual cases, testing policy and service delivery innovations, and plugging gaps in existing knowledge in the WSS sector as a whole. The BNWP is managed as a cohesive program based on good quality projects and activities, and is complementary to other sources of funding. BNWP projects are targeted interventions that support implementation of structural changes. A typical project fosters South-South collaboration and includes pilots in the field. All project proposals are quality-assured through peer review by reviewers chosen from within and outside the World Bank. More details on the work done by BNWP are available at www.worldbank.org/watsan/bnwp or by writing to bnwp@worldbank.org. 2. THE SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT 2.1 PURPOSE This Semi-Annual Progress Report outlines the progress in work of the Water Supply and Sanitation Windows of the Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership during the second semester of 2005 (July 1 ­ December 31, 2005). The purpose of the Semi-Annual Progress Report is to: · report outputs and activities of the various BNWP projects and activities · report disbursements that allows comparison with outputs · facilitate identification of links and common interests between various projects of BNWP · Increase transparency of BNWP operations. 2.2 STRUCTURE OF THE SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT 2 The Semi-Annual Progress Report is organized with a main text with an annex giving the detailed progress reports for each project and activity. 3. KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SEMESTER In the July- December 2005 period, new and ongoing BNWP projects and activities significantly increased the pace of implementation and disbursements were up by 40 percent over the previous reporting period.1 As the program comes to an end a large amount of outputs are being delivered. Throughout the reporting period, the BNWP management team carefully monitored implementation progress and disbursements for all projects and activities in the portfolio. The management team undertook targeted actions (including budget adjustments and reallocations) to ensure full disbursement of program funds. Six activities closed during the period and five new activities were approved. The BNWP management team received the draft final report of the GoN contracted evaluation team (R.P.A. Rodts, R. Franceys, and M. Iliyas) in August 2005. Comments to the draft report were sent to the evaluation team and DGIS in September 2005. The final version of the report has not yet been received. In the summer of 2005, the BNWP management team prepared a draft proposal for a potential next phase of the program following the signature of an agreement between the Government of The Netherlands and the World Bank to support a non-core BNPP program on water supply and sanitation. A World Bank delegation visited DGIS in October to discuss the proposal. No decision is yet made by the Government of The Netherlands about the future of BNWP. On October 15, 2005, Jan Janssens left the position as BNWP Program Manager to pursue new challenges with the World Bank Institute. Sr. Water Specialist Meike van Ginneken assumed the position of Acting Program Manager for BNWP-WSS. The original closing date of BNWP-WSS was December 31st, 2005. A 6-month extension was granted by the GoN to allow sufficient time to wrap up and close the remaining projects and activities. 3.1 NEW PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES Five new activities were approved and started up this semester: · Preliminary Restructuring of Business Units for Water and Sanitation Service Provision in Urban Paraguay (#094) ­ The objective of the activity is to assist ESSAP (Company of Sanitary Services of Paraguay) on its overall institutional assessment with an aim to determine the best approach for its transformation in order to better serve the poor with WSS services. 1. An overview of outputs of all BNWP projects and activities per December 2005 is attached in annex B. 3 · Extending the Reach of Well-functioning Autonomous Public Water Utilities in Cambodja (#095) - The activity aims to develop a public-public performance based agreement to operate and provide capacity building to the Water Supply Authority of Seam Reap in order to start a new autonomous government owned operating company. · BNWP Dissemination and Learning (#096) - This activity aims to systematically leverage the new lessons learned via BNWP projects and activities by translating them into dissemination material and training materials for capacity building. · Dissemination of Findings on the Distributional Impact of Utilities Subsidies (#097) ­ The activity will leverage the lessons learned in targeting water supply and sanitation subsidies to the poor (BNWP Activity #055) by translating them into dissemination materials accessible to practitioners and policy makers. · Efficiency of Public Sector Regulation in LAC (#101) ­ The activity seeks to provide users (regulators, policy makers, such as MOF officials, users' group, as well as Bank staff) with a combination of instruments to be able to benchmark the performance of utilities and promote yardstick competition in the Latin American context. 3.2 CLOSED PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES The following activities were finalized and closed during the reporting period: · Updating the Toolkit for Public Private Partnership in the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector (#059) ­ The objective of the activity was to assist developing-country governments that consider introducing or extending private sector participation (PSP) in their water supply and sanitation sectors. With this objective in mind, the activity updated the 1997 toolkit for PSP in the water sector. As a final output of the activity, the revised Toolkit was published in book format. · Improving Policy and Business Environments for Small Scale Providers of Water Supply and Sanitation Services (#074) ­ The objective of the activity was to enhance the global understanding of small scale providers, their importance in the water supply and sanitation sector, and the impact of the policy and business environments within which they operate. A review of past and ongoing studies and activities on small scale providers (SSPs) of water was carried out. The literature review demonstrated the extent and nature of small-scale private service provision of water supply services, providing rich examples that demonstrate the complexity and diversity of SSPs, but also highlighting the limited extent of information on SPSPs. Activity output included a Bank Policy Research Working Paper on the issue. · Study Tour from Lima Water Utility (SEDAPAL) to Brazil on Peri-Urban Condominial Water and Sewerage Systems (#084) ­ The activity sought to support the process of adoption of the condominial water and sewerage model in Peru, by providing critical decision makers with direct exposure to mature best practice examples of the condominial approach in Brazil. A one-week Study Tour from Peru to Brazil was conducted in December 4 2003 with a delegation comprising 10 persons representing the Lima water utility, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, and the Lima shanty town community organizations. Activity outputs included a seminar to report on findings of the study tour and a carefully documented case study analysis of the experience of the three Brazilian cities. The case study has been published. · Guidelines for Designing RWSS Programs in the Context of PRSCs (#086) ­ The activity aimed to identify supporting resources for the rural water supply and sanitation component in SWAps, in PRSCs and other budget support mechanisms, in the form of a toolkit. Activity outputs included print and web-published guidelines for designing RWSS programs in the context of PRSCs. Activity outputs included guideline document Rural Water Supply, Sanitation, and Budget Support - Guidelines for Task Teams and a variety of training sessions. · RWSS Toolkit Application in Multi-Sector Teams (#092) ­ The specific objective of the activity was to provide targeted support to pipeline and ongoing non-dedicated projects with water and sanitation components. The activity built capacity amongst country teams in Ethiopia, Yemen, and The Philippines, and will provided specialized assistance during project design and implementation phase. Activity outputs included reports from the three countries. · Rolling Out Budget Support Guidelines (#093) ­ The activity sought to roll out the guidelines for designing RWSS programs in the context of PRSCs, which had been developed under BNWP Activity #086. Activity outputs included application of the guidelines in Tanzania, translation of the guideline document into French, a workshop on the guidelines for Bank staff, and further development of guideline website. 3.3 EVENTS During the period, the BNWP furthermore sponsored or provided input to the following events: · The findings of the BNWP-funded book publication Water, Electricity, and the Poor: Who Benefits from Utilities Subsidies? were presented and discussed at a November 29, 2005, launch event at the World Bank InfoShop.

OVERVIEW OFPRESENTPORTFOLIO As of December 31, 2005, the total budget of BNWP of USD 8.4 million was allocated to projects and activities that have been approved by (the chair of) the Sector Board as well as management cost of BNWP. Activity and project disbursements and commitments were monitored closely throughout the reporting period, and budget adjustments and reallocations were made on a running basis to ensure full and timely disbursement of the BNWP-WSS funds. The planned and actual disbursement per semester is presented in Figure 1. A lag typically exist between project/activity finalization and final disbursements. Given this lag, disbursements are expected to continue at a high level into early 2006, as seen in Figure 1. The approved budget of USD 8.4 million leverages co-financing of USD 6.2 million from other funding sources. $1,600,000 $1,400,000 $1,200,000 $1,000,000 Planned $800,000 Actual $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 $- 2002-I 2002-II 2003-I 2003-II 2004-I 2004-II 2005-I 2005-II 2006-I Figure 1: Planned and actual disbursement per semester. 7 BNWP Portfolio: Windows BNWP Portfolio: Regions Global Rural WSS Africa Urban WSS East Asia & Pacific Europe & Central Asia Financing Systems Latin America & Caribbean Sanitation and Hygiene Middle East & N. Africa Capacity-Building South Asia Figure 2: Breakdown of portfolio per window Figure 3: Breakdown of portfolio per region The focus of the present portfolio is summarized in figures 2 and 3 (above). The majority of the portfolio is global or located in Africa or South Asia. This is in line with the needs for the Millennium Development Goals. BNWP-WSS sponsored initiatives are predominantly located within the rural WSS, urban WSS, and sanitation and hygiene windows. 5. FINANCIAL ANDPROGRESS REPORT Table 1 gives a specification of accumulated progress as well as disbursement per window. Total disbursements for the period July 1 ­ December 31, 2005, reached USD1,367,450. This constitutes 97% of the planned disbursement for the second semester of 2005. Lower than anticipated disbursements were found in the Development of Sustainable Financing Systems window. The disbursement lag under the Development of Sustainable Financing Systems window was attributable to the delay and later cancellation of work under BNWP Project #088 Developing Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys for the Water and Sanitation Sector due to the political situation in Ethiopia, where the project pilot was to be carried out. The outputs achieved in the second semester of 2005 amount to 97% of the targets set for the semester. This number represents a weighted average of the individual project achievements, as specified in the annex. All five windows performed largely as anticipated. 8 Window Performance* Semi-Annual Disbursements (% of target) Budget (USD) USD % of budget WSS in rural areas and small towns 97% 444,130 529,026 119% Reform of urban WSS 99% 323,416 308,797 95% Dev. of sustainable financing systems 95% 134,340 49,216 37% Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion 99% 383,300 382,701 100% Capacity-building 98% 69,440 67,678 97% Program coordination N/A 50,000 30,062 60% Grand Total 97% 1,404,626 1,367,450 97% Table 1: Progress and disbursements per window. * This number represents a weighted average of the individual project achievements, as specified in the annex. 6.
