Introduction

The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY10 provides information on all IBRD, IDA, and trust funded projects that were active as of June 30, 2010. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank’s revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes.

In addition to the project progress description, the FY10 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons

of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date.

1 Notes:

Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project.

Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions.

Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph.

Sector (s): Central government administration (100%)

Theme (s): Administrative and civil service reform (23%), Public expenditure, financial management and

procurement (22%), Other accountability/anti-corruption (22%), Other public sector governance (22%), Poverty

strategy, analysis and monitoring (11%)

Project Development Objectives: The development objectives are to: (a) improve the transparency, responsiveness,

and accountability of the public sector; and (b) increase efficiency, effectiveness and accountability within the

public sector.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The transparency of public financial management has

increased. Monthly budget execution reports are published on the Central Treasury's website and available for public

at large. New budget classification makes budget reporting more transparent. Ninety percent of civil service

appointments are performed on a competitive basis. Information on public procurement is being published on line,

but the government anticipates changes in public procurement to take place. The health sector financing is more

predictable with the support of the health sector SWAP (Sector-wide approach project). Teachers’ salaries are

financed as scheduled, thus improving predictability of education financing. However, other current expenditures in

education, which are managed at the local government level, are less predictable. Progress has been made with

development of a new Treasury Information Management System (TIMS). The system design has been developed

and is being reviewed by the Ministry of Finance. The main thrust of the project in the remaining time will be on

agreement on the TIMS and HRMIS (Human Resource Management Information System) designs and

implementation. The achievement of the Project Development Objective will require Credit extension until mid

2012.

National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic. The inter-bank Card Processing Center (CPC) has been operational since

December 2006 and usage of the national El-Card continues to grow, reaching over 74,000 as of July 1, 2010.

Another important planned application is the Government payroll reform initiative whereby Government employees’

salaries are paid through bank accounts instead of cash also continues to grow with approximately 35,000 employees

as of January 1, 2010 receiving direct deposits of their salaries through commercial bank accounts. Fifty-one new

state and budget organizations joined this initiative in 2009, i.e., an increase of about 19 percent over 2008. The

General Ledger and the new core banking system for the Savings and Settlement Corporation (SSC) are currently

being tendered out. Due to the recent political developments and turmoil in the Kyrgyz Republic, the planned

privatization of the Aiylbank was however postponed.

The project was restructured by reallocating funds between disbursement categories to replenish the operating budget.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): In spite of recent political turmoil and suspension of World Bank

activities following the overthrow of the previous Government, the implementation of the project continued to progress

steadily and produced tangible results across components. Five sector specific technical regulations have been adopted to

streamline standard requirements for business, one is at final stage of adoption and other drafts are at various stages of

development. The Ministry for Economic Regulation hosted the fully operational World Trade Organization Enquiry

Point (the import/export central information focal point on technical barriers to trade mandated by the World Trade

Organization to facilitate trade amongst members). State of the art reference metrology laboratories for temperature and

mass are installed and fully functional at the Center for Metrology and Standards. The Kyrgyz Center for Accreditation,

the national independent accreditation body, is fully operational and provides reliable accreditation services to testing

laboratories and certification bodies. In addition, the Kyrgyz Center for Accreditation initiated the process for membership

to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, a crucial recognition for the country to be able to enter into

Mutual Recognition Agreements governing international trade.

Sector (s): Irrigation and drainage (75%), Central government administration (25%)

Theme (s): Rural policies and institutions (29%), Water resource management (29%), Rural services and

infrastructure (14%), Participation and civic engagement (14%), Administrative and civil service reform (14%)

Project Development Objectives: The objectives are: (a) improving irrigation service delivery and water

management for the benefit of a sustainable increase in irrigated agricultural productivity; and (b) improving

national water resource governance for the benefit of water users and the nation as a whole.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Water Management Improvement Project has the

following components: (a) Rehabilitation and modernization of irrigation infrastructure to secure the water supply to

around 85,000 ha which serves 40,000 families; (b) Management of water resources to achieve sustainable and

efficient water resources management through implementation of the water code, support to the Department of

Water Resources (DWR)and support to Water Users Associations (WUAs); (c) Organization of beneficiaries

supporting the formation and development of WUA Federations and the transfer of minor irrigation schemes to

WUAs, thereby alleviating some of the pressures on the DWR to operate and maintain these systems. Under

component 1, initial progress was slow. Since early 2010, out of an estimated 18 schemes, 16 schemes have been

contracted, and project progress accelerated. However, since most of the schemes are constructed in the south, some

delays were incurred in the construction progress as a result of the April and June 2010 events and construction

could only restart in full in July 2010. By end of 2010 it is expected six subprojects will be completed. Under

component 2 and 3 most of the technical advisory packages on water governance have been completed. However,

due to the changes in government and a planned restructuring of the DWR, implementation of the recommendations

for improved governance are likely to start in full following the elections in the Kyrgyz Republic, scheduled for

October 2010.

administration (6%)

Theme (s): Rural services and infrastructure (29%), Rural policies and institutions (29%), Other rural development

(14%), Water resource management (14%), Gender (14%)

Project Development Objectives: The Project will achieve its objective through assistance to ensure that Water

Users Associations (WUAs) are able to utilize their rehabilitated on-farm irrigation systems on a sustainable basis,

and rehabilitation and modernization of irrigation and drainage infrastructure for around 29 WUAs commanding

51,000 ha.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Under the rehabilitation component, significant progress

has been made. Twenty-six WUAs commanding around 62,000 ha have been selected for rehabilitation, and 5

projects have already been completed, providing significant benefits to the water users. There is some concern

regarding the WUA Support Units (SUs) which were integrated in the Department of Water Resources. Due to the

current government budget crisis after the April and June 2010 events in Kyrgyzstan, the SUs do not receive

sufficient funds to adequately conduct their work, and as a result, performance of WUAs has dropped slightly after

years of a steady improvement in WUA performance. Therefore, over the course of 2010, the project will work more

actively with Government on resolving this issue in order to ensure that adequate resources are dedicated to the

proper functioning of the SUs.

established in accordance with the new veterinary law. Results from the Global Food Crisis Response Program

emergency community seed funds continue to reflect good results for yields. Training and project support, including

infrastructure grants, will be provided through this network. The rural advisory services are being delivered on a

demand driven basis. Farmer koshuuns have been mobilized and are starting to procure extension advice from

designated service providers with project support. The animal health component of the project is underway with

initial mobilization of private veterinarians in Naryn, a commitment to re-organization of the State Veterinary

Department, and agreements on all aspects of the training program to be delivered through the project. Additional

financing has been negotiated to scale up the brucellosis program country-wide and encompass a range of other

infectious diseases. Due to recent developments in the political situation in the Kyrgyz Republic some project

activities are expected to be delayed.

Project Name (ID): BISHKEK AND OSH URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE (P104994)




Loan/Credit/Grant Number: TF-90315, IDA-H3580

Sector (s): Water supply (58%), Roads and highways (23%), Sub-national government administration (14%), Solid

waste management (3%), Central government administration (2%)

Theme (s): Access to urban services and housing (40%), Municipal governance and institution building (40%),

Other urban development (20%)

Project Development Objectives: The development objective is to improve the living conditions in selected semi-

informal settlements (novostroiki) in Bishkek and Osh, the two largest cities of the Kyrgyz Republic, by increasing

the availability of basic infrastructure to the residents of these areas.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project is on track to achieve its objectives. Works for

the construction of about 21 kilometers of roads in Bishkek started in October 2009. Works under the Osh Water

Supply Component are about 50 percent completed. The pace of implementation in recent months has been

significantly slower than planned, as a direct result of the volatile political situation in the country since April 2010.

Project Name (ID): NATL. ROAD REHAB (Osh-Batken-Isfana) (P107608)




Loan/Credit/Grant Number: IDA-Q6240, IDA-H5200, IDA-46580

Sector (s): Roads and highways (90%), Public administration- Transportation (10%)

Theme (s): Rural services and infrastructure (40%), Trade facilitation and market access (40%), Regional

integration (20%)

Project Development Objectives: To contribute to the reduction of transport costs and travel time along the Osh-

Batken-Isfana Road corridor and to improve road safety planning.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Project implementation had started prior to Project

effectiveness with the procurement for component 1 (civil works and supervision consultants). To date, the civil

works contract is being finalized and the contract with the supervision consultant has been negotiated. The selection

process for the consultancy contract on road safety is being initiated. Actual rehabilitation works are expected to

start within the coming months. Additional Financing in the amount of USD$ 10 million equivalent is being

prepared in response to the recent social unrest in the Kyrgyz Republic and will support scaling up road

rehabilitation activities to include a portion of the road network within the city of Osh and the roads leading to the

city, thereby creating temporary jobs in road construction.

Project Name (ID): SECOND LAND & REAL ESTATE REGISTRATION (P108178)






Sector (s): General public administration sector (60%), Housing finance and real estate markets (40%)

Theme (s): Land administration and management (25%), Other public sector governance (25%), Personal and

property rights (24%), Other urban development (13%), Other rural development (13%)

Project Development Objectives: The objective is to support markets for, and improved use of, land and real estate.

This will be done through further development of a system for registering rights in immovable property.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): In spite of political and organizational turmoil, and

economic decline, project progress has continued. Policy reforms in early FY10 helped to reduce the average

secondary transaction for individuals from 3 days in calendar 2008 to 2 days in calendar 2009. The percentage of

clients who thought information dissemination was sufficient increased from 50 percent (in 2007) to 70 percent in

early FY10. During calendar year 2009, the number of mortgages grew by 10 percent, and sales transactions

declined by only 1.5 percent. A proposal to establish a single agency with consolidated finances was developed. A

government directive has been drafted to make digital spatial data accessible to the public, and to recognize the use

of the new transparent geodetic reference and coordinate system for official purposes.

However, implementation is delayed. Project restructuring will be required to adjust the intermediate results targets,

timeframe, and detailed aspects of the project activities and associated costs. The project development objective

would remain the same, and the basic project structure, and cost allocation across the three components are expected

not to change significantly.

Project Name (ID): CAPACITY BLDG ECON MGT (P108525)





Sector (s): Central government administration (100%)

Theme (s): Macroeconomic management (25%), Analysis of economic growth (25%), Administrative and civil

service reform (24%), Public expenditure, financial management and procurement (13%), Regulation and

competition policy (13%)

Project Development Objectives: The objective of the project is to establish and institutionalize an efficient and

effective framework for formulating and implementing sustainable economic policies and enhancing the capacity of

public institutions responsible for the development and implementation of such policies.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project implementation has suffered due to political

changes in 2010 and particularly the uprising in April 2010, which resulted in the ousting of the president and the

government. The Project Implementation Unit has continued to function with no disruption during these times, and

the hired consultants continued their technical work which was also not impacted by the political changes, and

several training sessions were conducted as planned. The progress in coordination of economic policy between

agencies has been slow and the overall progress towards achieving Project Development Objectives has also been

slow. Results have been partially achieved.

Project Name (ID): SECOND RURAL WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION (P110267)




Loan/Credit/Grant Number: IDA-Q6250, IDA-H4620, IDA-45600

Sector (s): Water supply (60%), Sanitation (30%), Public administration- Water, sanitation and flood protectio (10%)

Theme (s): Rural services and infrastructure (70%), Rural policies and institutions (30%)

Project Development Objectives: The objective is to improve access of the rural population of the Kyrgyz

Republic to drinking water and sanitation services.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): This Project is not progressing well. Due to Government

delays in adopting more cost-effective and sustainable rural water supply standards, the final designs for the nine

sub-projects of the first year investment program have not been finalized. Project start is further impaired by the

unplanned need to revisit systems installed by the first project, for rehabilitation and capacity building. It is

anticipated that works will commence with a delay of up to 12 months and the project will undergo restructuring.
