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.

2 Implementation Status Overview Despite on-going acceleration, the Bukhara and Samarkand Sewerage Project (BSSP) remains a slow disbursing project, with about 20.2% of available funding disbursed after 31 months of implementation (i.e. after 45% of planned implementation duration). Since Effectiveness in April 1, 2010, and mobilization of the Implementation Consultant in January 2011, the Project has experienced a range of delays, some of which associated with the lengthy completion of infrastructure surveys and preliminary design of necessary works, before the procurement and execution of detailed designs and then construction activities could initiate in full, others linked to quality and procedural issues in the processing of initial procurement packages. Despite satisfactory implementation of works to date, some contractor payment delays have also unduly affected disbursements. With the completion or pending finalization of the main detailed design packages for works, and the growing number of large contracts under execution or being procured, continued acceleration of BSSP disbursements pace is expected in coming months. This acceleration must be sustained by increased attention to the quality of bid packages, procurement processes and contract administration. Weak Financial Management performance under the project has been confirmed in the 2011 audit reports, flagging weak internal controls and some potential ineligible expenditures. Questions pertaining to potential ineligible expenditures have since been further documented and resolved. An action plan is under way to address capacity issues, such as staffing, systems and methods underlying the internal control and reporting issues. The surveys and preliminary design activities have identified more extensive infrastructure rehabilitation needs than originally assessed in the feasibility study, leading to substantial revisions of investment needs and costs. Network and plant rehabilitation needs have been significantly underestimated in the feasibility study which supported appraisal. Available funding is to be applied to priority needs, and a restructuring of BSSP objectives and scope may be decided at the mid-term review. Opportunities for additional financing may subsequently be assessed based on improved performance and level of disbursement of the Project.
