Project Background 1. The Loan 8746-IN for Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Project (MPUDP), in the amount of US$166 million was approved on April 12, 2017 and became effective on July 12, 2017. The original closing date of the Credit Agreement is December 31, 2022. 2. The project development objective (PDO) is to enhance the capacity of the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC) to improve coverage of key urban services and increase the revenue of participating urban local bodies (ULBs). 3. The project has two components: (i) Component 1: Institutional Development (US$26.5 million; Bank loan US$18.6 million) will strengthen urban policy reforms linked to implementation and sustainability of municipal investments being taken up through the Project, and undertake institutional strengthening of MPUDC as the nodal executing agency set-up with the mandate of improving provision of municipal services in the state of Madhya Pradesh in partnership and on behalf of ULBs; and (ii) Component 2: Urban Investments (US$139.2 million; Bank loan 97.4 million) will finance infrastructure sub-projects in participating ULBs to improve provision of a range of urban services, including water supply, sewerage and septage management, drainage, and solid waste management. B. Progress of the Project towards Achievement of the PDO 4. The project performance to date has been mixed. The project progress towards achievement of the PDO and overall implementation progress (IP) was rated satisfactory in July 2017 as the project had achieved effectiveness in the same month. By January 2018, both project progress towards achievement of the PDO and IP were rated as moderately unsatisfactory, primarily due to (i) slow progress on the procurement of the reform consultancy support envisaged to strengthen urban policy reforms, (ii) implementation delays in ongoing subprojects due to unsuitability of original sites identified for a few critical infrastructure, and (iii) weak sub-investment pipeline. The next implementation review is due in July 2018. 5. Based on infrastructure investment demand raised by ULBs, thirteen (13) new sub-investments have been identified and are under preparation. Some of these pertain to activities that trigger the Bank’s International Waterways Policy (OP 7.50). This Policy was not originally triggered as none of the initial sub-investment requests was under its scope of application. A restructuring of the project would facilitate building of a strong sub-investment pipeline, while supporting critical investment needs of local governments, thereby enabling the project to meet PDO and improve its performance ratings. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 6. The proposed restructuring of the MPUDP involves the triggering of OP7.50: Project on International Waterways. 7. MPUDP is a Category A framework Project. The initial list of 30% sub projects identified and posed by the Client at appraisal did not trigger OP7.50. Moreover, at the time of appraisal, there was no indication to suggest that the International Waterway policy would be triggered in the investments envisioned under the project in this land locked state. However, during project implementation, based on requests originating from different ULBs from across the state, MPUDC has proposed thirteen new sub-investments of which nine sub-investments (five water supply and four waste water projects) draw from and discharge into tributaries of the Ganga basin, respectively, and hence OP 7.50 requires to be triggered. 8. OP 7.50 is applicable to the nine proposed sub-investments to be carried out in the watersheds of Chambal, Sindh, Vyarma, Shivna, Kaithan, Chillar and Murna rivers, all tributaries of tributaries of River Ganga and hence part of the Ganges basin (refer to Annex 1 for details on the proposed sub-investments). These rivers and their tributaries are considered “international waterways” for purposes of the Policy. The World Bank Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Project (P155303) 9. Since these subprojects have been assessed as falling within the riparian country notification exception referred to in paragraph 7(a) of OP 7.50, and provided that triggering of the policy would be made as part of this planned project restructuring, the South Asia Vice President approved an exception to the riparian notification requirement on June 22, 2018. The Integrated Safeguards Datasheet Appraisal Stage (ISDS) and the Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) have been updated to reflect the triggering of OP 7.50. The revised ESMF was publicly disclosed at the Bank InfoShop on June 21, 2018 and locally disclosed on June 14, 2018 at the project areas. III.
