50689 STATUS OF PROJECTS IN EXECUTION ­ FY06 SOPE REGION: EUROPE AND CENTRAL ASIA COUNTRY: BELARUS Operations Policy and Country Services SEPTEMBER 19, 2006 Report on the Status of Projects in Execution - FY06 SOPE Region: Europe and Central Asia Country: Belarus Introduction The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY06 provides information on all IBRD/IDA projects that were active on June 30, 2006. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes. In addition to the project progress description, the FY06 SOPE report 1 contains project level comparisons of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date for all active projects. 1 Notes: · Amounts for Projects in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project. · Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Loans, which provide quick- disbursing external financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these loans, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed conditions. · Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus may not include a graph. ii Country: Belarus Project Name (ID): Social Infrastructure Retrofitting ( P044748 ) Country: Belarus Board Approval Date : 06/05/2001 Midterm Review Date : 12/16/2004 Closing Date : 12/31/2007 Loan/Credit/Grant Number : IBRD-70560, IBRD-P3400, JPN-25129, JPN-52111 Sector(s): District heating and energy efficiency services (94%), Central government administration (6%) Theme(s): Access to urban services and housing (P), Pollution management and environmental health (S) Project Development Objectives: The objective is to improve the functional and health environments of social sector facilities, with particular emphasis on reducing energy consumption.
