Seeks to assist water utilities to improve their operational

Transcription

1 LGU Urban Water and Sanitation Project (LGUUWSP2) Seeks to assist water utilities to improve their operational efficiency and accountability to consumers, facilitate private sector participation, and leverage financial flows into the water and sanitation sector. This is the second-phase of a $280 million four-phase program for investments in water supply and sanitation utilities, which are currently being managed by municipalities or Local Government Units (LGUs). The project design adopts a participatory process that determines service levels and tariffs. It also provides incentives for outsourcing operations and maintenance responsibilities for constructed facilities through lease contracts with private operators. By the time the fourth phase of the program is implemented, around 250 municipalities with 800,000 residents will receive reliable, affordable and sustainable water and sanitation services.

4 Ozone Depletion Substance Phase Out-Montreal Protocol Project (ODSSP) Enables the Government to phase out the remaining consumption of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) in accordance with the phase-out schedule stipulated by the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone layer. In the first phase of the Project, nine investment projects in the manufacturing sector were implemented and completed. These investment projects phased out a total of Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) Tons of ODS. Non-investment projects undertaken included the Workshop on the Phase Out and alternatives to CTC technology, Financial Intermediary Technical Assistance for Institutional Strengthening and DENR Technical Assistance for Institutional Strengthening. The next phase of the project is embodied in the Philippine National CFC Phase-Out Plan, which has been approved by the Excom of the Montreal Protocol. The Plan will phase-out the remaining consumption of ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFC) during To achieve this target, a series of investment, non-investment, technical assistance and related support activities will be undertaken. The Plan will enable the Government to enforce a ban that will totally, eliminate the use of CFCs in the manufacturing sector by 2005 and in the service sector by Finally, a Methyl Bromide phase-out strategy is being submitted to the ExCom for consideration in its next meeting, to enable Philippines to phase out consumption of this fumigant ODS starting in 2005 and ending in APPROVAL DATE: September 1994 CLOSING DATE: June 2010 GRANT AMOUNT: US$30 Million AGENCIES/CONTACTS Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) 2/F HRDS Bldg, DENR Compound, Visayas Ave., Diliman, Quezon City Mr. Prudencio E.
