Summary of Project and Activities. The objective of the Electricity Transmission Project (the “Electricity Transmission Project”) is to increase domestic electricity supply for consumption by improving the availability and reliability of electricity in Nepal’s electricity grid. To achieve the Electricity Transmission Project Objective, MCC Funding will support the following expenditures as further detailed in this section: (i) construction of transmission lines to expand the high voltage transmission backbone inside Nepal and the Nepal side of a second cross-border transmission line with India;
Summary of Project and Activities. The objective of the Road Maintenance Project (the “Road Maintenance Project”) is to maintain road quality across Nepal’s primary or strategic road network (the “SRN”). To achieve the Road Maintenance Project Objective, MCC Funding will support: (i) funding for technical assistance and capacity building to Nepal’s DOR and RBN, and (ii) up to 305 kilometers of maintenance works on Nepal’s SRN.
Summary of Project and Activities. The Improving General Education Quality Project consists of three Activities that target areas where the Georgian education sector needs the most support: physical environment, secondary school teacher subject knowledge and pedagogical skills, school management capacity, and education assessments. To increase the impact and sustainability of the Improving General Education Quality Project, MCA-Georgia will work to develop partnerships with the private sector to promote private investment in and around the Project. Areas for partnership include but are not limited to teacher and school leader professional development, curriculum and learning platforms, and other innovations in STEM, ICT, and English-language education.
Summary of Project and Activities. The Industry-led Skills and Workforce Development Project aims to improve the linkage between market-demanded skills and the supply of Georgians with technical skills relevant to the local economy. Investments to support Technical Vocational Education and Training (“TVET”) are necessary to address industry demand for skilled technicians and to reach potential beneficiaries who may not have the opportunity to obtain further education and training. The two activities proposed under this Project are therefore designed to (1) solicit innovative proposals from Georgian TVET providers for the establishment of new or the expansion of existing training programs to meet industry needs; and (2) to strengthen the Georgian TVET sector’s national policy and provider practice with respect to industry engagement.
Summary of Project and Activities. The objectives of the water network restructuring and rehabilitation project (the “Water Network Project”) are to (1) improve the efficiency of network water delivery and the condition of home water systems, and (2) decrease certain costs that households in Zarqa Governorate incur to satisfy their subsistence water needs. The Water Network Project is designed to address high rates of water loss in the water supply network in Zarqa Governorate and provide direct assistance to poor households in improving their household water and sanitation infrastructure. The Water Network Project is comprised of two Activities: (A) the restructuring and rehabilitation of the water supply systems in key areas of Zarqa Governorate (the “Infrastructure Investment Activity”); and (B) assistance to households to improve the plumbing, water storage, sewage connections, and general awareness of best practices for sanitation and water efficiency (the “Water Smart Homes Activity,” or “WSH Activity”).
Summary of Project and Activities. The objectives of the wastewater network reinforcement and expansion project (the “Wastewater Network Project”) are to (1) increase access to the wastewater network, (2) increase the volume of wastewater collected within Zarqa Governorate for treatment and reuse, and (3) reduce the incidents of sewage overflow. The Wastewater Network Project is designed to increase the carrying capacity of impaired sewer main lines, reduce periodic overflows in the wastewater collection network, and extend lateral sewer lines to urban neighborhoods in which populations are not currently connected to the wastewater collection network. The Wastewater Network Project is comprised of two Activities: (A) the reinforcement of existing networks and rehabilitation of existing sewer main lines in West Zarqa (the “West Zarqa Pumping Station Zone Activity”), and (B) the reinforcement of existing networks and rehabilitation of existing sewer main lines in East Zarqa (the “East Zarqa Pumping Station Zone Activity”).
Summary of Project and Activities. The objectives of the As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion project (the “As-Samra Expansion Project”) are to (i) increase the capacity to treat wastewater from Amman and Zarqa Governorates, (ii) increase the volume of treated wastewater that is available as a substitute for freshwater for non-domestic use, and (iii) protect existing agriculture from the potential consequences of pollution from untreated wastewater. MCC Funding for the As-Samra Expansion Project will support a portion of the cost associated with the construction of the expansion of the existing As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant. MCC Funding will also support technical assistance for the management and supervision of the construction. The expansion is designed to increase the hydraulic capacity of the existing treatment plant and its ability to handle suspended solids and biological materials, among other critical treatment requirements. The expanded plant will use activated-sludge technology with several important characteristics: (1) primary settling, (2) biological treatment and clarification, (3) disinfection by chlorination, (4) energy recovery from treated water, (5) primary and biological sludge thickening, (6) sludge digestion and biogas energy recovery, (7) digested sludge storage, (8) ventilation and odor control, and (9) a mechanical dewatering process that is designed to accelerate decomposition and reduce volumes of sludge. The average daily hydraulic capacity of the plant is expected to increase from 267,000 cubic meters per day to 364,800 cubic meters per day; the capacity for treating total suspended solids (“TSS”) is expected to increase from 147,000 kilograms per day to 236,800 kilograms per day; and the biological oxygen demand (“BOD5”) capacity is expected to increase from 174,000 kilograms per day to 232,200 kilograms per day. The treatment, storage and disposal of sludge and the quality of the final effluent are required to comply at all times with (A) the applicable Jordanian standards for sludge and for water discharged to wadis and catchment areas, and (B) the minimum technical requirements under the As-Samra Project Agreement. The expansion is expected to meet the region’s wastewater treatment needs through 2025.
