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.

This action was taken in response to the Government’s request and will enable sufficient time to complete on-going AF activities and utilization of cost savings, assuming the implementing entities keep with their progress commitments. On-going civil works contracts are in general being implemented in line with agreed schedules, with various level of progress and operational complexities. Critical path activities include completion of civil works procurements (six packages remaining) and the rehabilitation of wastewater treatment plants in both Bukhara and Samarkand cities. There has been limited progress of institutional development activities over the reporting period, due in part to deflect focus on several other critical project issues, including delayed procurements and civil works. A revised plan will be put in place for the implementation of communication and public awareness strategy, user satisfaction surveys, and other activities tailored for building capacity of the utilities for supporting sustainable service delivery. The Bank’s recent mission noted some progress in addressing non-compliance issues with safeguards and financial management over the reported period; but again emphasized the need to strengthen implementation capacity, including the form, function and resources of the Project Coordination Unit. Recommendations were provided to help facilitate a more active and structured engagement covering the full range of activities and accelerate implementation progress and results.
