Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

The four project provinces began implementing intensive monitoring of water and wastewater discharges from industrial zones (IZs) during the second half of 2016 with enforcement being stepped up as well. Nearly 60 percent of the IZs are now compliant with effluent discharge standards (against a target of 50 percent). Four new Centralized Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) - half of the project target - have been constructed and are operational. However, due to regulations tightening the eligibility criteria for on-lending financed though overseas development assistance, the pipeline for project-financed CETPs has slowed even as demand for CETP loans generally is still high. To date a total of 2,285 national and provincial government officials and enforcement agents etc have received training to strengthen planning, regulatory, technical, monitoring, and enforcement capacity across a range of agencies, and assessment of training outcomes is positive. The Bank and the government are discussing a proposal for project restructuring that would extend project interventions to seven additional provinces within the two targeted river basins to increase the reach of the project, expand the pool of IZs eligible for CETP investments, and help strengthen project relevance and achievement of objectives.

The fifth Loan contract was just signed in August 2017 but is expected to be completed and functional by December 2017. Now that monthly monitoring data is becoming available of the levels of pollution more detailed criteria are being developed by MONRE to distinguish between minor exceedances and the type of exceedance which constitutes a non-compliance. This is expected to be completed as part of the restructuring.
