This will be achieved through (a) rehabilitating select sections of the sewerage system that are deteriorated; (b) limited expansion of the sewerage system into currently unconnected central historical areas, (c) installing more energy-efficient equipment such as wastewater pumps and aeration systems at the wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations; and (d) improving the capacity of the water utilities (vodokanals) in the areas of management, communications and public outreach. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured) The proposed PDOs are to reduce wastewater pollution and improve the performance of utilities responsible for wastewater managementin Bukhara and Samarkand.

Since the last ISR, a further six civil works contracts were awarded, increasing the total commitments by a further US$ 15 million (total commitments of Additional Financing (AF) IDA credits are around US$ 86 million). All civil works activities originally planned for the AF are now under implementation and scheduled to be completed before the project closing date (December 31, 2020) – enabling achievement of the PDO targets. Several contracts, including sewer networks, collectors and Farhod wastewater treatment plant, have been completed and commissioned. Around 9,000 new household connections have been completed, enabling expanded access to critical sewerage services in Bukhara and Samarkand cities. The mission discussed the need for increased attention to the institutional development activities including the communication and public awareness strategy, user satisfaction surveys, and other activities tailored for building capacity of the utilities for supporting sustainable service delivery. Implementation capacity has improved over the reporting period, due in part to the filling of vacant positions, including the Project Coordinator and Procurement Specialist. The Bank’s recent mission noted positive developments and progress in addressing previously identified non-compliance issues with safeguards and financial management over the reported period.
