Regional Planning and Programming and Follow on Project Development

Key Indicator for Our Work

• 8 (11) regional sector plans

• At least 90 investment project fiches for investment projects in public assets with a total worth of up to 170 million Euro in the areas water and sanitation, solid waste management and energy efficiency of public buildings are prepared based on integrated and participatory local planning exercises and in line with sector priorities and norms. (baseline 2011: 0; source: number of project fiches developed)

Page 35: MLPS Presentation for the Steering Committee Session from February 21, 2014

Pagina 37

All project concepts related to Regional Sector Programmes are:

• Consistent with regional (sector programmes) and identified as part of process by stakeholder

• Consistent with general national policy directions

• Locked into a process and method of project development that will ensure ownership and sustainability

• Accompanied by an attempt to encourage key actors to undertake “accompanying measures” to ensure smooth implementation, sustainability of results and of relates services

• In EE, already more projects than available investment financing (shortfall = approx 9 MEUR). By early 2015, the shortfall will be greater (est. 9+5) and by end 2015 in the order of at least 25 MEUR if financing is not found

• In SWM, shortfall of resources likely in Q2-2015 to complete full technical design and tender book of major infrastructure in 3 SWM zones and to accelerate work on 3 other zones.

• However feasibility studies/EIA and conceptual technical design will be complete for 3 zones with prospect of implementation by start 2016 (for investments near 30MEUR)

• In WSS, shortfall of resources likely in Q2-2015 to complete full technical design and tender book of major WSS infrastructure in 12 rayonal centres and to expand to others.

• Feasibility studies/Environmental Management Plans and conceptual technical design will be complete for 12 projects with prospect of implementation by start 2016 (for investments near 25MEUR)

• Roads – to be determined but likely as WSS

Financing Issues

Page 40: MLPS Presentation for the Steering Committee Session from February 21, 2014

Pagina 42

More resources will be needed:

• (i) to finance the implementation of a (conservatively) estimated 100MEUR of ready or near ready to go projects by end 2015/start 2016

• (ii) to support finalisation of project preparation in certain “heavy” areas e.g. SWM, WSS

• As MRDC, RDAs, LMs work to develop programmes, projects and reform respects sectors (eg SNIP/GOST etc), IFIs and donors need to anticipate and plan for a major shift if real financial demand
