IBRD: Croatia Coastal Cities Pollution Control Project 2 Mr. StjepanGabric, Senior Project Officer & Task Team Leader E-mail: sgabric@worldbank.org
Introduction of the Project • The second phase of Coastal Cities Pollution Control Projects supporting the Government’s comprehensive program to improve the provision of efficient and sustainable wastewater services in Croatia’s coastal cities and thus improve coastal water quality along the Adriatic Coast. • The CCPCP 2 comprises of three components: (1) Wastewater investments (2) Institutional strengthening (3) Seawater quality monitoring • The total Bank financing for CCPCP APL2 in the amount of Euro 60 million (US$ 87.5 million equivalent) and has been supported by the GEF grant in the amount of US$ 6.4 million. • The project is effective as of June 4, 2009 and closes on September 30, 2014. • Implementing agencies: • (i) Croatian Waters (components 1,2,3A) • (ii) Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction. (component 3b)
Project Objectives & Outcomes • The project objectives: • to improve the provision of efficient and sustainable wastewater services in participating municipalities • to reduce the nutrient load entering Croatia's coastal waters from participating municipalities • to pilot innovative wastewater treatment solutions in selected municipalities.
Results in Stress Reduction • As the project is in early stage, no tangible results available at this point, but target project outcomes are: • a percent of households in participating cities would able to connect to wastewater services is by the closing date expected to increase from 46 to 76 percent; • a percent of wastewater collected that is treated is expected to increase from 15 to 71 percent.
Results in EnvironmentalStatus • Impact will be felt only after end of all construction activities, at the end of the project. • Target: 50% reduction in pollution and nutrient load in cities with enhanced nutrient removal • Target: Increased knowledge of alternative nutrient reduction waste water treatment technologies
ProcessResults • Component 1: • All 21 sub loan agreement have been signed committing full loan amount, including four GEF co-financing sub-projects: (i) Metkovic; secondary WWTP with enhanced nutrient removal (ii) Kastelir; constructed wetland WWTP (iii) Trsteno; constructed wetlands WWTP, (iv) Medulin; WWTP with nutrient removal
Conclusion • Project still in early stage, and the overall project progress has been rated as moderately satisfactory based to on the improvement in project implementation, after initial delay. The WB team will continue with close supervision of all project activities that is expected to lead to successful project completion. • The project is setting the stage for similar schemes that will be financed by EU funds • Needs in a sector as huge and project role is to set an example
