EMRANDUM AND RECOMQENDATION OF TEE PRESIDENTOF THE INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVEWOPNENT

TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED LOANTO THE KINGDOM OF MOROCCO FOR ANENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROJZCT

1. The following memorandum and recommendation on a proposed loan to theKingdom of Morocco for US$6 million equivalent is submitted for your approval.The proposed loan would be repayable over 20 years, including 5 years ofgrace, at the Bank's variable interest rate. The Kingdom of Morocco would bethe Borrower and the Under Secretariat of the Environment (USE) would be theExecuting Agency.

2. Backgron. As a result of the rapid industrialization andurbanization, Morocco faces a number of natural resources management andenvironmental pollution issues. The natural resources problems consist of:(a) water scarcity - water deficits are predicted to appear in several regionsby the year 2000 and countrywide by the year 2020: (b) soil degradation due toerosion, salt accumulation and drifting sands threatening 12.4 million harepresenting one third of the total agricultural surface; erosion is alsocausing rapid soil sedimentation of 50 million m3 reducing total dam yearlycapacity by 0.4%; (c) deforestation estimated at 50,000 ha per year due toerosion and unsound agricultural and forestry practices; (d) loss of fauna andflora resulting in the disappearance of 40 mammal species among the 100identified. The pollution problems are: (a) urban pollution due to onlypartial connection of households and industries to a sewerage system (35% ofthe total population and 652 of the urban population), discharge of untreatedwaste into the water system and uncontrolled dumping of municipal solid waste;(b) ind¶ustrial pollution from the discharge of an estimated 10,000 tons peryear of liquid effluent into the Sebou and Oum Rabia rivers, and quantities ofuranium and cadmium discharged from fertilizer plants into the Atlantic Ocean;(c) agricultural pollution due to the concentrated use of unbiodegradablepesticides on irrigated perimeters (12 percent of the total agricultural land)and the lack of facilities to properly store or dispose of chemicalsubstances; and (d) air pollution due principally to urban transport and theuse of leaded gasoline.

3. There is now an urgent need to address cross-sectoral environmentalissues for which environmental management is a key factor. The Governmentalso believes that inadequate environmental management may become an obstacleto economic growth. The institutional and legal framework is highlyfragmented and appears insufficient to address the country's environmentalproblems. The Ministry of the Interior and Information is currently in chargeof environmental protection. The Government has also established a NationalCouncil of the Environment (NCE) as an inter-ministerial body for decisionmaking on inter-sectoral environmental issues. However this council has notmet on a regular basis since 1985. Although the mandate of these instltutionsincludes the major functions of environmental management (policies,regulation, monitoring and enforcement), none of these functions is actuallyperformed. Furthermore, there are environmental units in only four of the

- 2 -

fourteen key ministries, and they too have no responsibilities for monitoringand enforcement. These management deficiencies are exacerbated by outdatedand inadequate laws and regulations. Since August 1992, the Government hasprovided strong support to the environment. It has estaDolished a new UnderSecretariat of the Environment (USE), reporting directly to the Minister ofthe Interior. It has increased the USE budget ten-fold to US$0.5 million andauthorized recruitment of additional staff. It would like to reactivate theNational Council of the Environment now that there is an Under Secretary ofState solely in charge of environmental protection. A draft environmental lawdescribing all the major principles on environmental protection was preparedby the Ministry of Interior and submitted to the Governmcnt Council iu May1993. In parallel to the environmental law, the Government will prepare twoself executing laws to enforce pollution control: a chemical and toxic wastescontrol law and a permit law for intergrated pollution control. Furthermore,it has started preparing an Environmental Action Plan, with the assistance ofUNDP/UNESCO, whf.ch will be completed in December 1994.

4. With these new changes, the Government intends to adopt a three-tierorganization structure to environmental management, that would include theUSE, the sector ministries and t'he local government. The USE will be theagency responsible for policy formulation, coordination, enforcement andinformation dissemination. The sector ministries will strengthen theirenvironmental functions in environmental assessments, audits and introducingcost effective pollution reduction technologies in their respective sector.Finally, environmental units will be established at the local government inorder to identify environmental issues and monitor pollution on behalf of theUSE. The Government has requested Bank assistance to help strengthenenvironmental institutions on the basis of the new environmental managementstructure, to reinforce the legal and regulatory framework and to introducethe private and public sectors to pollution abatement practices and theaccompenying institutional and legal instruments identified in this project.In order to clarify its commitment to environmental protection, the Governmenthas submitted to the Bank. a golicy letter (Technical Annex - Note 1).describing its objectives for environmental management and a schedule forimplementing priority actions in this area.

5. Rationale for Bank Involvement. The Government's request for Bankassistance provides a unique opportunity to help shape a regulatory andInstitutional framework, formulate an environmental policy and developappropriate economic and financial instruments to ensure the integration ofeffective environmental management into Morocco's micro and macro economicpolicies. It fits in well with the overall Country Assistance Strategy forMorocco, discussed in the Board in February 1993. The Bank involvement wouldcomplement other proposed projects in Morocco in the field of water supply,municipal finance and agriculture, all of which rely on an enhanced capabilityof environmental management, including national capacities to carry outenvironmental impact assessments. Laying the institutional and legalfoundations for effective application of economic and financial instruments inenvironmental planning and management, the proposed project is a criticalelement for the Bank's current discussion with the Government of Morocco for apossible full-fledged investment project in the field of environment, plannedfor FY96. In this perspective, the project is the first stand-alone country

lending operation in MNA region to provide the major technical assistance Inonvironmental management; it would not only ̂ ontribute to ar. integratedapproach in Morocco, but also give an impetus to further shift the region'sconceptual framework toward designing sustainable investment projects.

6. Progect Objectives The objective of the project is to assist theGovernment in strengthening Its institutional and regulatory framework formanaging environmental protection. It is expected that the establishment ofthe needed environmental institutions and full development of the necessaryenvironmental laws would require a concerted and long term effort spanningmany years. The project, representing the first step of such efforts, willdefine the elements for and initiate the process of strengthening theGovernment's environmental capacities.

7. Prliect Description. Reinforcing the institutional and lefal frameworkto manage environmental grotection. This project will: (a) strengthen thetechnical and administrative capacity of the USE as the central environmentalauthority, the ministries of Agriculture and Public Works representing thesector ministrics and the Wilaya (Province) of Fes representing the localgovernment in order to apply on a pilot basis the decentralized environmentalmanagement process; (b) reactivate the National Council of the Environment tooversee the environmental 4ctivities of the ministries; (c) reinforce thelegal and regulatory framework by reviewing and updating the existingregulations, introducing the environmental imract assessment (ZIA) asmandatory for new investment projects which may have potential adverseenvironmental impact and assisting in the preparation of two new laws: thepermit law for integrated pollution control and the chemicals, and the toxicwastes control law; (d) design an enforcement and compliance mechanism forenvironmental protection through adoption of the "command and control,approach based on norms and standards which are being developed with theassistance of the German Development Agency (GTZ), for chemical uses and the"roll back" approach for point sources pollution; (e) finance a series ofstudies on economic and financial incentives and measures for environmentalprotection and for enabling Morocco to adopt the European standards inpreparation for a potential free trade agreement with the EEC; (f) promote anenvironmental education and awareness program outside the formal educationsystem on the basis of a strategy which is developed with the assisvance ofthe German Development Agency; and (g) establish a National EnvironmentInformation Network (NEIN) on a pilot scale in the form of a centralinformation node at the USE and two service nodes at the Ministries of PublicWorks and Agriculture and the Wilaya of Fes.

8. The project will: (a) provide 272 person-months (pm) of internationaland local consultants; (b) organize and implement 33 technical and specializedworkshops which will be attended by 600-800 professionals from the sectorministries, local government, NGOs and private and public sector consultingand industrial firms; (c) provide training abroad to 26 professionals in thedifferent environmental fields of specialization; (d) finance a total of 6policy, economic, financial and legal studies; and (e) purchase a total amountof US$1.2 million of computer hardware and software, vehicles, officeequipment and supplies, audio-visual materials, computer maintenance andaccess to international databases.

9. Project Costs and Financing. The total project cost is estimated atUS$10.8 million equivalent with a foreign exchange component of US$6.0 million(56 percent of the total cost). A breakdown of costs and the financing planare shown in Schedule A. Amounts and methods of procurement and disbursementand the disbursement schedule are shown in Schedule B. A timetable of keyproject processing events and the status of Bank Group operations in Moroccoare given in Schedules C and D, respectively. A Technical Annex is Alsoattached.

10. Implementation Arrangements. The proceeds of the loan would bedisbursed over 4.5 years. The USE will be the executing agencv for thisproject. The project wlll be coordinated by an inter-ministerial steeri.ngcommittee which will be chaired by USE and will include as members therepresentatives of the Ministries of Agriculture, Economic and Social Affairs,Finance and Public Works. This committee will provide overall policyguidance, review work programs and resolve any inter-ministerialimplementation issues on this project. A Project Implementation Unit (PIU)will be established by the USE, and will consist of the project manager andcompetent technical and administrative staff. The PIU will be responsible forthe interface between the Bank, the donors and the USE. It will assist theUSE in the day-to-dav management of the institutional and legal frameworkcomponent. The Ministries of Agriculture, Public Works and Justice as wall asthe Wilaya of Fes, local NGOs and the private sector consulting firms will allparticipate in project implementation. However staff from the Ministries ofIndustry, Health, Energy and Mines, Finance, and Economy and Social Affairsand representatives of the local government of the Provinces/Wilayate and theprivate sector will also receive in-country training from this project.

11. Actigns Agreed. The USE has nominated the project director and the PIUtechnical staff for the project. The Government has also submitted a signedpolicy letter (Technical Annex - Note 1) describing the Government'sobjectives and priority actions for environmental management with a schedulefor implementing these priority actions. The Government has agreed (a) tomaintain an inter-ministerial steering committee with membership and TORssatisfactory to the Bank; (b) to ensure that the restructured National Councilof the Environment (NCE) is operational by July 1, 1994; (c) to maintainappropriate accounting and auditing procedures; and (d) to carry out a mid-term review of the project Jointly with the Bank on the basis of agreedindicators. As a condition for loan effectiyeness the Government will submita copy of the revised decree for the National Council of the Environment (NCE)to the Government Council, and establish the interministerial steeringcommittee.

12. Benefits and Risks. The main benefit of the project will be tocontribute to sustainable economic development by strengthening theGovernment's capability to manage and implement environmental policies,strategies and plans. By developing the environmental management competenciesand establishing environment management units at the local government level,the project will start up and promote the collaboration and coordinationbetween the USE, the sector ministries and the local government. The projectwill also lay the foundation for future sector and environmental lendingoperations which will all benefit from the strengthening of the environmental

- 5 -

institutions, and of the legal framework and institutionaliling the ZIAprocess. The major risks to project implementation are: (a) environmentalprotection and management became recently part of the Government' politicalagenda and the environmental management system proposed by the project couldbe endangered by the discontinuity of political commitment and support; (b)the sector ministrios and the local government may resist collaborating withUSE in implementing the environmental management activities; (c) the projectis institutionally complex as it involves several components and participatingagencies; (d) the two laws may not be enacted. These risks were mitigatedunder the project by: (a) involving major sector ministries, agencies, NOOsand donors in project preparation in order to build up consensus amonginstitutions; (b) delineating the detailed functions and responsibilities ofthe USE, the sector ministries and the Wlaya of Fes so that they will all beinformed of one another's functions; (c) limiting the participation in theproject to three ministries and to the Wilaya of Fes and establishing jointlyagreed-upon work programs; and (d) providing technical assistarce to preparethe above mentioned laws so that they can be submitted to the GovernmentCouncil by the beginning of the third year of project implementation.

13. Po-erty Category. Not Applicable.

14. Recommendatign. I am satisfied that the proposed loan would comply withthe Articles of Agreement of the Bank and recommend that the ExecutiveDirectors approve the proposed loan.

I. BACKGROUD: THE ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATION IN MOROCCQ

Geograbhic and Economic Context

1.01 With 711,000 km. of territory, of which about two-thirds are arid orsemi-arid, Morocco is populated by 26.5 million people concentrated primarilyalong the Atlantic Coast and in the Northern part of the country 521 living inrural areas. Population growth has been about 2.5X per year during the pasttwenty-five years and it is not expected to decline significantly before theyear 2000. In the year 2025, Morocco's population is expected to reach 47million. This pressure will impose a heavy burden on the country's naturalresources as well as on its economic growth and constitutes a major challengefor sustainable development in Morocco. Since the mid-eighties, however,Morocco has been experiencing a period of combined sustained growth of about41 per year while undertaking a drastic stabilization program with lowinflation, balance of payment improvement and good debt management.

1.02 Morocco has abundant natural resources including the world's mostaccessible phosphate reserves, vast areas of arable land, extensive coastlines and maritime resources. Agriculture contributes to Morocco's GDP byonly 161, but it provides employment to 401 of the labor force and generates301 in export earnings, notably through fisheries (121 of total exports) andhorticulture products. The economy is, however, dominated by the industry andservice sectors. The CDP grew at 5.71 in the 1965-90 period and at a lowerrate of 4.11 in the 1980-91 period. Agriculture rose in the same period at animpressive 6.71 p.a., despite several drought years. This reflects thegrowing impact of irrigation and seems to indicate a strongly positive supplyresponse of agriculture to the development policy change; this can be tracedto the increased liberalization of agricultural and food prices, and to moreopen marketing and trade practices.

1.03 The major issues regarding natural resources management (which areexplained in section II of the project files are summarized as follows:

(a) Decrease of water availability for urban. industrial andagricultural use. The annual renewable volume of water is about30 billion m3, of which 11 billion m3 are accessible. Urban andindustrial water consumption is growing at 81 annually and thewater balance deficit is expected to reach several regions by theyear 2000 and to spread countrywide by the year 2020. Industryin certain areas, has started pumping groundwater for its use

- 2 - TECHNICAL AN=

because water in the rivers is heavily polluted and poorlytreated.

(b) Soil-degradation due to erosion. sallnlzation. desertlfication ora combination of these. It is estimated that 12.4 millionhectares, representing one-third of the total agriculturalsurface, is threatened by erosion, which seriously affects theproductivity of mountain agriculture and pastoral activities.Soil erosion also leads to yearly soil sedimentation of 50million m3, representing a decrease of the dam capacity by 0.4 Xand resulting in an annual loss of 5,000 ha of agricultural land.

(c) D2eforestation is estimated at 50.000 ha a year, principally due

to erosion and unsound agricultural and forestry practices. Wood

consumption for domestic use exceeds by three times thereforestation undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture and isestimated at 30,000 ha a year.

(d) Losg of f4una and flora resulting in the disappearance of 40mammal species out of the 100 identified, as well as the loss of45 out of 2000 species of birds. Such loss is due to a number offactors related to urbanization, overgrazing, drainage andpolluted rivers.

1.04 An assessment of the pollution situation in Morocco reveals thefollowing conclusions:

(a) Urban pollution is one of the major problems in Morocco. It is

due mainly to the lack of water treatment systems and to thepartial sewage system connection of household (351 of the totalpopulation and 65X of the urban population) and industries.Furthermore, the accumulation of 6 million tons of untreatedsolid waste produced annually is disposed in badly organized citydumps or unregulated dumps. Only one composting plant is

functioning out of six existing in the country.

(b) Industrial pollution is an evergrowing problem in Morocco,esp3cially: (i) in the Mohamedia-Casablanca region, in whichheavy industries and power plants are located; (ii) on theAtlantic coast, North of Agadir and; (iii) along the Sebou River,the largest and most important in Morocco, which has become anopen sewer for the surrounding cities. Forty percent of thepollution from the medium- and small-scale industriesconcentrated in Kenitra and Fes are discharging their bi-productsinto this river. This creates concentrations of heavy metalsestimated at 10,000 tons per year, including toxic chromates fromthe tanneries, as well as large concentrations of materials withhigh chemical oxygen demand (COD). These contaminants have

. 3 - TEHICAL ANNX

practically eliminated living organisms in the rivers and isundermining the operation of the water treatment plants.Furthermore, the fertilizer plants (particularly in the city ofSafi) are discharging dangerous quantities of uranium and cadmiumalong the Atlantic coast.

(c) Agricultural pollution results from the over-use of fertilizersand unbiogradable pesticides that cause particular stress onground - and surface-water resources. The contamination level isapproximately 10,000 tons per year of phosphates and nitrates.The nitrate concentration in some groundwater aquifers hasreached, and sometimes surpassed, the hygienic maximumconcentration (45 mg/l) for drinking water recommended by theWorld Health Organization (WHO). The phosphates resulting fromsoils washing are the main source of eutrophication in the riversand the excessive proliferation of algae which absorbs largequantities of oxygen. The use of the polluted water inirrigation, particularly in the Sebou, is another importantenvironmental concern, because it has an indirect impact on humanhealth and decreases the productive capacity of the soil.

(d) Air pollution tends to be localized around the cement and powerplants, but is more diffused in the Mohamedia-Casablanca, thesource of which is urban transport. The emission of lead in theair, resulting from the combustion of leaded gasoline, isestimated at 100 tons per year, which constitutes a hazard to theurban population, especially to children.

Institutional and Legal Aspects

1.05 There is also an urgent need in Morocco to address cross-sectoralenvironmental issues for which environmental management is a key factor. Asof now, the institutional and legal framework is highly fragmented and appearsinsufficient to address the country's environmental problems. Each ministryis hierarchical, with redundancies and rivalries existing among them. Lateralcoordination is inadequate, except during national crises and/or when suchcooperation is sponsored by a Superior Council headed by the King.

1.06 In 1980, the National Council of the Environment (NCE) was created,with members represented from major sectoral ministries under the chairmanshipof the Ministry in charge for the environment (which is presently the Ministryof the Interior). Its mandate is to conserve the natural resources, combatpollution and improve the quality of life. Although the Council'scoordination role is stipulated in the decree, the Council has not been active-- it reviewed the draft environmental law in 1985, and met irregularly forthe preparation of United Nations Conference of Environment and Development(UNCED). The same decree calls for the establishment of Regional EnvironmentalCouncils (REC) in region. However, no RECs have been active so far.

4 -ECHNICAL ANNEX

1.07 The Ministry of the Interior (MI) is responsible for the protectionof the environment and plays the role of the government's spokesman onenvironmental issues. Though its major mandate of environmental management isat the national level, the role of the former directorate of the environmentand urban planning of MI was limited to the administration of certainactivities, such as attendance at ministerial committees, providing limitedtechnical advice to other public entities, coordinating internationalactivities on environmental issues and implementing few environmentalactivities.

1.08 In addition, the sectoral ministries have been unable to participateefficiently in the country's environmental management activities because theirmandates are not clearly defined in this respect. Only four of the 14 majorsectoral line ministries have a directorship or a division responsible for theenvironment: these are the Ministries of the Interior and Information, Health,and Industry, Trade, Privatization, Energy and Mines. The lack of clearinstitutional responsibility hampers the formulation of sectoral policieswhich are required for comprehensive pollution control, for a definition ofenvironmental norms and their methodology of enforcement, as well as for adevelopment of an effective environmental information system. For example,the Ministry of Industry is not empowered to regulate industry: theresponsibility of awarding industrial permits falls to the Ministry of PublicWorks while the technical and management expertise of the Ministries ofIndustry and Public Works in environmental control is limited.

1.09 There is a large number of laws referring to the environment: morethan 350 legal texts address the protection of the physical environment.However, some of these laws are outdated, such as the law of 8/25/1914, forpollution control from industrial installations and the law of 8/1/1925, whichprohibits the discharge of any effluent into the waterways. These laws didnot take into account the existence of modern technology in production methodsand were developed in the context of ensuring the smooth exploitation ofnatural resources only. Furthermore, the poor enforcement of theseregulations compounds a significant gap in the overall regulatory frameworkthat could be filled by the concept of integrated control of pollutinginstallations. A draft law on the environment, prepared by the Ministry ofthe Interior in 1985 and updated in February, 1993 to be enacted. This draftlaw provides general principles for environmental management and protectionbut is not self-executing and would require specific laws/regulations for itsapplication. The Bank considers that when this law will be enacted, it willconstitute a coherent legal framework for the environment. As a first step,the Government requested the Bank assistance through this project in preparingon a priority basis, two self executing laws, a chemical law and a permit lawfor integrated pollution control (see para 1.13)

Government Policy and Action

1.10 Although population growth in general, and population pressure on theurban cities in particular, remain major causes of natural resourcedegradation, the Government has taken the following actions to mitigate

.5.- IE IAL

natural resources problems: (a) efforts have been made to: (1) increasesurface water storage by means of large and small scale reservoirs, (ii)adjust allocations of water to sectors and regions where resources areabundant; and (iiI) use recycled waste water; (b) build or improve 500,000 haof agricultural lands to protect them against soil and water erosion; (c)reforest 22,000 ha per year (under implementation); and (d) issue necessaryregulations for biodiversity protection in the national parks of Souss-Messaand Al-Hoceima. Similarly, the Bank has assisted the Government in addressingthe natural resources problems: (a) through the preparation of: (i) a watersector study which will introduce an integrated approach to water sectormanagement; and (ii) a watershed management project to address landmanagement, through popular participation of preservation of water resourcesand to control erosion and dam sedimentation; (b) through financing, under theAgricultural Sector Investment Loan (ASIL), of projects on reforestation andrangelands and improved lands and irrigation; and (c) financing, throughMETAP, the management plan for the Al-Hoceima National Park. The Government,with Bank assistance has also embarked on an ambitious program to extend andimprove sewage treatment in urban areas, which will address one of the majorsources of urban pollution. It also received a GEF grant to establish portreception/ treatment facilities to combat marine pollution.

1.11 The Government's new policy on the environment is delineated in theNational Report submitted to the 1992 UNCED Conference. The strong commitmentof the Government to protecting the environment (i.e., ensuring an appropriatemanagement of natural resources and minimizing pollution) is expressed in bothdocuments. This new emphasis is leading to a major institutional change inthe Government administration. The first new emphasis on environmentalprotection led to a major institutional change in the environmentaladministration. In August 1992, the Directorate of the Environment and UrbanPlanning was split into two entities within MI: the General Directorate ofUrban Planning and the newly established Under Secretariat for the Environment(USE), which reports directly to the Minister. The USE needs a majorconsolidation at technical level and appropriate operational procedures needto be developed. Its operating budget became autonomous and has beenincreased significantly from DH440,000 in 1992 to DH4.4 million in 1993. Itstechnical staff will be increased from 20 high-and middle-level officials to50 during 1994.

1.12 The Government intends to take action to reduce pollution, and alsoprevent resource waste, promote proper technologies and educate entrepreneursand the public about resource conservation. As the Government recognizes itsneed for administrative reform with budgetary and financial decentralizationto the municipal level, it also intends to build appropriate managementstructures for the environment at both the central and local levels.Furthermore, since September 1992, the USE has started preparing anEnvironmental Strategy and an Environmental Action Plan (EAP), in order tointegrate environment into the social/economic development of the country.The EAP will be completed in December 1994 and the Government should be ableto initiate its implementation in parallel with the reinforcement of aninstitutional and legal framework for the environmental activities carried out

-6 - TCICL AM=

through this project. The environmental management activities financed by UNDPand Germany as well as a table summarizing these activities with thosedescribed in this project are found in section Ill of the project files.

1.13 The strategy to implement the Government's environmental policyrecognizes the need to start with basic environmental functions and solvepractical environmental issues (such as in industrial pollution) which arepre-requisites for attacking Morocco's long term environmental problems.These actions were provided in the institutional, legal and pollution studywhich was financed by the Swedish Government as part of the projectpreparation. The study recognized that pragmatic solutions to Morocco'senvironmental problems could be found and environmental protection could beenforced even in the absence of the environmental law and without asubstantial change in the existing legal and institutional framework. Inorder that the following approaches be applied, the Government is currentlyprepared to adopt the EIA as a policy instrument in planning public investmentprojects.

(a) The Command-and-Control (CAC) approach will be used forrestricting (or if necessary banning) the uses of hazardouschemicals. These will be controlled by a chemical law which willbe developed under this project and based on internationalpractices (especially those of the EEC) and/or on norms andstandards that will be developed. In such cases, the courts willbe able to penalize the violators.

(b) The Roll-Back (RB) approach will be used for water discharges,air emissions and waste production from point sources and will beformulated by a pollution contract negotiated between eachsubsector association and the USE. This contract will determinea ceiling on the pollution amount that each establishment shouldbe allowed to discharge in a given medium as well as a program(when necessary) for decreasing the total pollution load over aspecific time consistent with the technology used and thefinancial status of each establishment. The contract willdetermine whether prosecutable violations have occured. In orderto regulate the Oroll-back' approach, the Government plans toprepare a second law entitled "Permit Law for IntegratedPollution Control".

1.14 The CAC and RB approaches will have broad implications forinstitutions involved in the environmental activities of the country. Inorder to implement effectively both approaches within the presentinstitutional framework, the Government intends to adopt a three-tieredorganization structure which will involve the USE, the sector ministries and aselected local government with the following functions.

(a) The USE will be the central authority, playing a catalytic roleand performing the functions of: (i) submitting for review to the

NCE as its secretariat, environmental national policies andstrategies and proposing legislations; (ii) ensuring operationaland technical coordination; (iii) preparing environmentalguidelines and procedures (including E$A); (Iv) negotiating thepollution contracts and enforcing the CAC approach; and (v)providing technical and information services to the users.

(b) The sector ministries will strengthen their environmentalfunctions by: (i) carrying out environmental screening and reviewof EIAs in their sectors; (ii) programming and reviewingenvironmental audits; (iii) coordinating with USE theenvironmental activities (including EIA procedures) in theirsectors and assisting industry in the RB approach; and (iv)disseminating environmental information in their respectivesectors.

(c) The local government will establish an environmental managementunit in the province which will: (i) monitor on behalf of USE,the status of pollution and natural resource degradation at theregional level; (ii) follow up on the implementation of thepollution contracts; and (iii) coordinate the environmentalactivities in the province.

1.15 Regardless of what agency/ministry is assuming responsibility forimplementing environmental functions, it must have clearly delineatedfunctions, adequate expertise, staff, equipment and financial resources.During appraisal, the mission reviewed the overall framework of environmentalfunctions of the sector ministries and the selected local government, whichhave been proposed by USE in consultation with the sector ministries. Thisframework, described in the project files, sections IIIa-IlIc, is adequate andan essential base for further delineation.

1.16 In the proposed project, a coordinated environmental managementbetween the USE, the Ministries of Agriculture and the Minist-. of PublicWorks as well as the province of Fes, as selected local governrant from thoseinterested, will be made fully operational. The effectiveneba of such asystem will be assessed during the life of the project, and, if necessary,after an appropriate adjustment, additional sector ministries would be madepart of the expanded framework in order for all Bank's lending operations beplanned with an integrated environmental consideration. The Government isaware of the importance of this feedback process to reach a full-fledgedinstitutional level in the coming years.

1.17 In pursuit of such an organizational model, the restructuring of theNational Council of the Environment (NCE) as renewed cross-sectoral forum isessential for the integration and coordination of environmental policies andfor ensuring consistent decision making at the national level.

- 8 -8-CF L

1.18 To implement Its policy through the elements outlined above, theGovernment has proposed the following priority actions which hav, beenincorporated into the prorosed project:

(a) Strengthening the capability of USE, the two ministries and theprovince of Fes involved in the proposed organizational model toapply the CAC and RB approaches;

(b) Restructuring the National Council of the Environment (NCE) andexpanding its mandate and membership to ensure the appropriateinstitutional structures for participating in policy formulationat the national and local levels;

(c) Formulating two new laws, as described in para 1.13 (a) and (b),and revising existing regulations to ensure consistency, whilethe enactment of the environmental law is envisaged soonest.Such enactment is fully consistent with the proposed two laws;

(d) Developing a participatory process to involve all concernedinstitutions for environmental management action including publicparticipation: testing those above-mentioned approaches throughselected demonstration projects; and developing the financial andeconomic instruments with a view to introducing them on anational scale during or after the completion of the proposedproject.

1.19 In order to clarify its commitment to such an innovative approachtowards environmental protection, the Government has submitted a nolicy letter(attached as a Technical Arnex - Note 11 describing its objectie forenvirogmental management. with emnhasis on the anticigated evoluion of itsinstitutional framework, its gstion= to strengthent both the-NCR and the lelalframework (including the ZIA groggdures~) and a donting the organigationalManaement anrgach, with an attached time schedule for imolementina theRrinrsit actions.

II. RAtionale for Bank Involvement

2.01 Following the last Board discussion on the Country AssistanceStrategy, and after consultation with the country authorities, environmentaland water resources management has been identified as one of the key pillarsof the Bank's planned assistance to Morocco. This priority is reflected in thecurrent Country Strategy Paper. The Bank's emphasis in this area is based onthe assumption that economic development cannot be effective and sustainableunless the economic growth objectives at the policy, planning and managementlevels are compatible with the economic, social and environmental factors.Sound environmental protection and natural resources management become keyareas of concern for the Bank, especially ln desigaing all lending projects inproductive sectors (infrastructure, agriculture, industry). The following arethree basic goals the Bank has with regard to Morocco: Mitigating adverseenvironmental impact on human health, preventing irreversible ecological

q 9 , .CICAL ANEX

changes, and balancing costs and benefits whenever resources are scarce andbasic human needs have to be met. In addition, the Bank supports theGovernment's desire to establish clear and transparent environmental rules andregulations as positive steps towards improving the business climate inMorocco, since the private sector favors a predictable situation concerningenvironmental regulations.

2.02 The Government's request for Bank assistance provides a uniqueopportunity to help shape a regulatory and institutional framework, formulatean environmental policy and develop appropriate economic and financialinstruments to ensure the integration of effective environmental mansPementinto Morocco's micro and macro economic policies. The proposed proje.c willnot attemDt to rank in order, or resolve the environmental issues of thecountry. Rather. it will initiate the grocesg of strengthening theGovernment's environmental management cAgacities by proposing a pragmaticapproach of developing the institutional and legal framework. The proposedproject is, therefore, an essential foundation for the Government who is nowplanning to carry out a number of field demonstration projects in cooperationwith other multilateral and bilateral donors. These demonstration projectsare not crucial to the project success, but they are considered to beimportant by the Government to ensure adequate articulation betweeninstitutionalization and implementing stages of the environmental managementreform undertaken.

2.03 The Bank involvement would complement other proposed projects inMorocco in the field of water supply, municipal finance and agriculture, allof which rely on an enhanced capability of environmental management includingnational capacities to carry out environmental impact assessment. Laying theinstitutional and legal foundations fc:. cffective application of economic andfinancial instruments in environmental planning and management, the proposedproject is a critical element for the Bank's current discussion with theGovernment of Morocco for a possible full-fledged investment project in thefield of environment, planned for FY96. In such perspective, this is thefirst stand-alone country lending operation in MNA region to provide the majortechnical assistance in environmental management; it would contribute not onlyto an integrated approach in Morocco, but would also give an impetus to shiftthe region's conceptual framework toward designing sustainable investmentprojects.

III. Th>e Project

A. Project Objectiye

3.01 The objective of the project is to assist the Government instrengthening their institutional and regulatory framework for managingenvironmental protection.

- 10 - TECNIG.

B. Pr2olct DescriPtio

ReinfaXritW the Institutional and Legal Framework

3.02 The project enhances the institutional framework through: (a)strengthening the technical and administrative capacity of USE, theclarification of environmental functions of sectoral ministries and the localgovernments, their articulation with sector activities and the USE'sfunctions; (b) restructuring the NCE; (c) enhancing and updating the legal andregulatory framework; (d) designing an enforcement/compliance system; (e)promoting environmental education and awareness; and (f) establishing aNational Environment Information Network (NEIN). Details of the projectdescription are found in section IV of the project files.

3.03 Strenftheing the Technical and Administrative CaRacty. The purposeof this component is to apply on a pilot basis, the three-tiered organizationbetween the central environmental autborlty (USE), selected sector ministries(Agriculture and Public Works) and one local government (wilaya of Fes), inwhich serious environmental pollution problems exist. The Ministries ofAgriculture and. Public Works have confirmed their commitment to undertake ajoint work program (see the project files, section lIId) for strengtheningtheir common environmental functions and fostering their working relationshipin addressing cross sectoral environmental issues. Furthermore a separatebudget was allocated in the project for each of the two sector ministries inorder to provide them with resources necessary to implement their workprogram.

3.04 This Institutional Strengthening Component (US$1.87 million) wouldinclude: (a) consultant services to assist the USE, the two sector ministriesand the environmental cell in Fes to: (i) develop operational procedures andguidelines; (ii) organize their own environmental program; (iii) set upappropriate mechanisms for information sharing and cooperation between the USEand the sector ministries and agencies; as well as (iv) assist the USE inestablishing nation-wide monitoring which would entail the coordination of allmonitoring activities; (b) training high level staff in environmentalplanning, environment management techniques, monitoring and enforcement,pollution modelling, environmental economics, environmental assessment andaudit reviews and financial management, including short visits toenvironmental protection agencies; and (c) purchase of office equipment, fieldvehicles, and computer hardware and software.

3.05 Restructuring the National CouniL of the Environment (NCE). Inorder to make the NCE an effective national policy-making body involving allsector ministries for addressing cross sectoral issues of environmentalprotection, its restructuring is envisaged through: (i) the adequate expansionof permanent membership including additlonal ministries and concerned publice..tities as well as non-governmental organizations; (ii) the up-grading of thelevel of representation with more detailed definition of the NCE's role; (iii)the clear definition of the NCE's meeting procedures and formation of fivethematic commissions; (iv) the organization and re-definition of Regional

. 11 - TEONLG& ANNEX

Councils for Environment as decentralized instrument of the NCE; and (v) theallocation of a budget for its operation. Based on the framework agreed withthe Bank appraisal mission (see section IVc of the project files), theGovernment will prepare a revised decree which will initiate the restructuringof the NCE.

3.06 The Environmental Action Plan which is now being prepared with theassistance of UNDP/UNESCO is scheduled to oe submitted to the NCE for reviewin December 1994. The project will establish the necessary institutional andlegal foundations to enable the Government to implement the activities in theAction Plan. As a condition of loan effectiveness. the Covernment will submitto the Government CounclL the revised decree for the NCE's restructurine.

3.07 This component (US$0.25 million) will include: (a) support to the NCEto manage and coordinate its operations; (b) technical assistance fordevelopment of procedures and operations of the NCE and its commissions,including the identification of a set of policy and economic studies inselected environmental problems that will be identified by the sectorministries and industrial associations; (c) development of technicalcapabilities of the commissions members to analyze policy options and examineenvironmental problems submitted to their attention; and (d) purchase ofoffice equipment and computer hardware and software.

3.08 Enhancement of the Legal and Regulatory Framework. Theimplementation of a sound environmental management system should be supportedby the drafting, issuance and implementation of laws and regulations. Untilthe draft environmental law is enacted and becomes operational, the Governmenthas decided to adopt the following legal measures: (a) review and updateexisting regulations derived from existing laws; (b) issue a decree making theEnvironment Impact Assessment (EIA) an effective policy instrument, after thenewly established EIA unit of the USE issues the appropriate EIA procedures inDecember 1993 (these procedures are being prepared by USE with assistance fromconsultants financed under METAP); (c) prepare the two self-executing lawsmissing from the existing legal framework, which are the Permit Law forIntegrated Pollution Control and the Chemicals and Toxic Wastes Control Law(section 1.13 (a) and (b). These two laws are scheduled to be submitted to theGovernment Council by the beginning of the third year of projectimplementation.

3.09 Under this proposed arrangement, financing in the amount of(US$0.97 million) will be provided for: (a) consultants to aszist the USE andthe Ministries of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (MAAR) and Public Works(MPW) to update existing regulations, provide needed technical assistance tothe task forces that will prepare the two draft laws (after undertaking thenecessary studies) and the assessment of the environmental guidelines underthe EEC Free Trade Agreement; (b) workshops to support the participatoryprocess of reviewing and fine tuning the regulations and legal measures; (c)training programs for sector ministries, including the Ministry of Justice andthe Government's secretariat general, in environmental law, environmentalimpact assessment, environmental audits, processing and ways to promote better

- 12 - TECHNICAL ANNE

understanding and awareness of environmental legal issues; and (d) purchase of

computer hardware and software and the establishment of a legal documentation

center at the USE.

3.10 Designing an Enforcement/Compli1ane System In AMironmental

Protection. The purpose of this subcomponent is to deslgn the roll back

approach and finance a series of complementary studies to enable USE to apply

this approach on a national scale. These studies will rely on the

demonstration projects (section V) which the Government has designed in order

to test the results and recommendations of these studies. During the interim

period in which the integrated pollution control law will be prepared, the

application decree of October 1933 related to the classification of the

industrial establishments will be used. The olive oil industries and the

tanreries in Fes were selected for this pilot application: Their respective

associations representing the owners of the tanneries and olive oil industries

in Fes will enter into an agreement wish USE to gradually decrease the

pollution loads of their affiliated companies over a specific time. The

association will, in turn, negotiate a schedule of necessary measures with the

individual companies to meet the aggregate pollution load decrease proposed by

the Government. The USE has already established with the financial and

technical assistance of the Federal Republic of Germany, a well-equipped

environmental laboratory to determine in advance the maximum pollution loads.

With this sub-component, USE should be able to monitor, through the newly

established environmental cell in Fes, the pollution contracts and test a

series of enforcement measures and financial incentives to treat industrial

water in these industries.

3.11 This component (US$0.97 million) will include: (a) consultant

services to design the roll back approach and to prepare operational

procedures and guidelines for drafting and reviewing pollution proposals and

contracts; (b) training of environmental inspectors in reviewing industrial

proposals, evaluating environmental problems, and monitoring and following-up

on pollution contracts; (c) workshops and seminars for private and public

industrial entities, and private consulting firms, on the command and control

and roll back approaches, environmental impact assessment, audit procedures

and methodologies for favoring pollution prevention by process change and

clean technology, and prefeasibility and feasibility studies for environmental

investment opportunities; (d) conducting environmental audits and pollution

load assessments; (e) commissioning two studies on: (i) the identification of

appropriate economic and financial incentives for providing market-oriented

solutions to environmental protection and the establishment of an

environmental loan fund to assist private and public entities to finance their

pollution abatement costs; (ii) the identification of instruments for

encouraging the private sector to prevent pollution in the artisanal and

municipal sectors; and (f) preparing two pre-feasibility studies for

additional demonstration projects in the sectors of agriculture, (e.g.

pesticides), and energy and mining (e.g. phosphates).

3.12 Promoting an Environmental Edcation and Aweness Progrm. USE hasalready prepared with the assistance of Germany, a strategy for promoting anenvironmental awareness program. This component (US$O.9 million) willimplement the elements of the strategy and will therefore promote publiceducation and awareness outside the formal education system about the socialand economic implications of the demonstration projects, and about thosesectors which have an impact on human health. The component will Include: (a)development of methodologies, training materials, audiovisual materials and TVfilms; and (b) provision of training courses and specialized workshops toministerial staff, NGO regional associations and community leaders, ontechniques and methodologies for increasing public awareness of environmentalissues.

3.13 Establishment of a National Environment Information Network (NEIN).There is not currently in Morocco a coordinated effort to pool the relevantenvironmental information from sector ministries, national agencies anduniversities into one decentralized source of user-oriented information. Theobjective of establishing the NEIN is to enable the ministries to operate as aresource sharing, state-of-the-art service network. The NEIN will consist oftwo major technical tasks: (a) the development of a database search networkwhere environmental data and information could be retrieved from internationalelectronic databases containing technological information for use by theprivate and public sectors; (b) the building of a domestic database networkwhereby public domain environmental information generated by the ministriesand agencies could be made available to users and shared among the members ofthe NEIN. The NEIN will be first developed and tested in USE, the Ministriesof Public Works and Agriculture and the Province of Fes, if it is successfulthe network will be expanded to other agencies in the forthcoming environmentinvestment project.

3.14 This component (US$2.17 million) will provide: (a) consultingservices to: (i) develop a policy paper by the Government on the development,access, exchange and sharing of environmental information at the nationallevel as well as establishing a fee-for-service system; (ii) design andimplement the NEIN on a pilot scale, in the form of a central node at the USEand two sector nodes at the Ministries of Public Works and Agriculture and oneregional node in the Province of Fes; (b) train information specialists indata collection, database search and analysis for the central and servicenodes; (c) provide access to international databases on CD-ROM or dedicatedtelephone lines on the availability of enrironmental technologies and servicesto end users; and (d) purchase of field vehicles, office equipment,microcomputer hardware and software, and licenses to international databases;and (e) establish a documentation center related to environment.

3.15 The project will: (a) provide 272 person-months (pm) of internationaland local consultants; (b) organize and implement 33 technical and specializedworkshops which will be attended by 600-800 professionals from the sectorministries, local government, NGOs and private and public sector consultingand industrial firms for which a training plan is summarized in Schedule 1;(c) provide training abroad to 26 professionals in the different environmental

- 14 - TECHNIC A

fields of specialization; (d) finance a total of 6 policy, economic, financial

and legal studies; and (e) purchase a total amount of US$1.7 million of office

equipment and supplies, audio-visual materials, computer maintenance and

access to international databases.

C. Prolect Cost and Financing

3.16 The total cost of the proposed project is estimated at US$10.84

million, including taxes and duties, with a foreign exchange component

estimated at US$4.45 million, or 41 X of total project cost (detailed

estimated costs are in the attached Technical Annex - Note 2). The base cost

amounts to US$9.72 million for prices estimated in March 1993. Project costs

and expenditure accounts by components are summarized in the Project Costs

Summary (Technical Annex - Note 3).

3.17 The proposed Bank locn of US$6.0 million would finance 68 X of total

project cost net of taxes and duties. It would cover about 88X of foreign

exchange expenditures, and about 472 of the estimated local costs net of taxes

and duties. These local costs are for the financing of the services of local

consultants. The Project Costs Summary shows the project financial plan, with

a breakdown by expenditure categories and project components.

3.18 The total amount needed to finance recurrent costs arising from this

project which amounts to US$3.7 million representing 34 X of total cost. The

main project categories that will continue beyond project completion are: (a)

local salaries with an annual amount of about US$0.5 million for about 30

professional staff of USE and MAAR, MPW and the Province of Fes; and (b)

operating costs estimated at US$0.4 million per annum, which include office

space, services, materials, and fares and subsistence to provide for the

continuous interaction between the USE, the sector ministries and the local

Government.

3.19 The projected budgetary requirements for USE, MAAR, MPW and the

Province of Fes during the 1994-1998 period, the years of project

implementation will reach an estimated yearly annual cost of about US$1.3

million. This budget will be exclusively earmarked to USE.

ministerial implementation issues on this project. As a condition ofeffectiveness, the Government will establigh t&e steering committee. AProject Implementation Unit (PIU) has been established by the USE, andconsists of the project manager and competent technical and administrativestaff. The PIU will be responsible for the interface between the Bank, thedonors and the USE. It will assist the USE in the day-to-day management ofthe institutional and legal framework component. During negotiations. theGovernment submitted the names and profiles of the techical staff of the PIU.which weXe acce2table to the Bank. The Ministries of Agriculture, PublicWorks, and Justice, the Province of Fes, local NGOs and the private sectorconsulting firms will all participate in project implementation however stafffrom tne Ministries of Industry, Health, Energy and Mines, Finance, andEconomy and Social Affairs, and the representatives of the local government ofthe Provinces and the private sector will also receive in-country trainingfrom this project.

E. Procurement

4.02 Table 4 summarizes procurement arrangements under the Bank loan. USEwould carry out all procurement of the project in accordance with theGuidelines for Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits (May 1992) andstandard bidding documents for ICB. A procurement schedule is in the attachedTechnical Annex - Note 3.

4.03 Goods and Services. To the extent possible, contracts for goodswould be grouped to allow procurement of larger packages of US$100,000 ormore. Two ICBs packages with a total value of US$0.21 million are expectedfor purchase of vehicles, office equipment and computer equipment. Forpurposes of bid evaluation, under the ICB procedures, local manufacturers willbe granted a margin of preference in accordance with Bank Guidelines. Othersmaller contracts below US$100,000 for local purchases for starting up theproject (such as two vehicles, office eqsupment and personal computers) up toan aggregate amount of US$250,000, and video films, books and journals as wellas materials and supplies, regardless of costs, could be made using localshopping (LS) on the basis of quotations from at least three suppliers. Localsuppliers are expected to obtain about 252 of the procurement value of thegoods to be financed by the Bank.

4.04 Consultants' Services for T_chnical Assistance an.. ProcurementServices Agents. Studies and training will be contracted in accordance withthe Guidelines for the Use of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers and by theWorld Bank as Executing Agency (August 1981). Contracts for technicalassistance have been grouped into four packages with a total value of US$5.8million: (1) strengthening the institutional and administrative capacity,restructuring the NCE and enhancing the legal framework; (2) implementing anenforcement/compliance system; (3) promoting an environmental education andawareness program; and (4) establishment of the NEIN. The six studies will bepart of the four packages and are included in the summary of the terms ofreferences for the four packages found in section VII of the project files.Local consultants have considerable capability and it is estimated that they

- 16 -

would be successful in about 601 of the consultants' assignments. Allcontracts for consulting services, training or studies, TV production and

advertisements valued at more than US$100,000 and contracts for goods procuredunder ICB will be subject to prior review by the Bank. The Bank's prior reviewis expected to cover about 901 of the total Bank-financed procurement. Smallconsulting contracts and goods valued below US$100,000 equivalent will besubject only to ex-ost review by the Bank and will be retained by USE for

review by Bank Supervision missions. These small contracts will consist of

services performed by consultants to carry out specific tasks and lasting no

more than four months. These contracts would be formalized on the basis ofstandard TORs and employment conditions, as well as selection procedures that

have been determined acceptable tc the Bank. The technical assistancecontractors responsible for the third and fourth packages will also act as

procurement service agents for purchasing specialized equipment.

F. DisburseW=

4.05 The allocation of loan amount and the disbursement percentages are

summarized in Table 5. The disbursement schedule is found in section Ve ofthe project files. Except for contracts requiring prior review, disbursementwould be made against a certified statement of expenditures for which detaileddocumentation evidencing expenditures would be made available for the required

audit and also for review by the Bank supervision missions.

4.06 To facilitate the timely implementation of the project, theGovernment would establish a special account on terms and conditionsacceptable to the Bank. The authorized allocation will be US$ 600,000 covering

the Bank's share of 3-4 months of estimated expenditures. Replenishment of thespecial account would follow normal Bank's procedures.

G. Accounts and Audits

4.07 An independent auditor acceptable to the Bank would: (a) auditproject accounts of USE, MAg, MPW, the Province of Fes, and the SpecialAccount; (b) apply auditing standards and procedures satisfactory to the Bank

that conform to generally accepted auditing practices; (c) carry out its

auditing work in a timely manner (an annual report would be presented no laterthan six months after the end of each calendar year); and (d) render an audit

opinion or the reason whereby such opinion cannot be rendered. The project

will provide training in financial management and application of modernauditing procedures to environmental entities as part of its strengthening of

the USE.

H. SuRprvision

4.08 Since this is the first environmental project in Morocco and the

region, Bank supervision is expected to be resource-intensive, particularly inthe first stage of implementation. In the first year, three supervisionmissions will be planned (18 sws) followed by six semi-annual supervisions for

the remaining three years (36 sws). The supervision missions will focus on

- 17 - TECl L AM

the (a) improvement of the USE's institutional capacity to carry out itsmandate at the central level as well as its coordination capabilities withsector ministries and local governments; (b) progress on the objectives.targets and schedules of each sub-component; and (c) the extent to which theUSE has been able to integrate environmental concerns into the policyformulation and the progress made in enforcing new regulations, pollutioncontracts and reviewing environmental impact assessments. During negotiations,project indicators and expected outputs summarized in the attached TechnicalAnnex - Note 4 were conflrmed. Assurances were obtained that GovernMent willcaixy out a mid-term review by September 30, 1996, to assess the progress andachievements of the different components against the project indicators andwill undertake corrective actions as agreed.

I. Envlronmental Impact

4.09 The primary objective of the project is environmental institution-building and therefore the project will not have any adverse environmentalimpact. The environmental screening classification is "C" in accordance withOD 4.01 Annex A.

V. The Government's Technology Transfer Program: Demonstration Projects

5.01 Although the project would lead to sufficient environment safeguardsfor new investment projects and the implementation of new environmentalpolicies and guidelines, there remains a large of number of industries whichdo not have pollution abatement technologies. In parallel with thepreparation of this project, the Government has identified with the Bank'sassistance, demonstration projects which will be used as case studies for USEand the local government to identify and apply cost effective alternatives forimproving operations. These demonstrations should provide necessary technicaland engineering expertise to the local private engineering and consultingfirms for carrying out EIAs and audits of existing operations, identifypotential technology transfer, and help select, install and operate pollutioncontrol technologies. They will also be used to assess the economicincentives and policy instruments, developed by the project for the governmentand industry, to induce the internalization of pollution costs and to allowsatisfactory ambient standards.

5.02 The Government is fully aware that from a financial point of view,demonstration projects in which the transferred technology is end-of-pipe areonly viable in their pollution prevention components. The Government hastherefore decided to finance these demonstration projects with grants orconcessional loans with the understanding that economic and financial analysesdeveloped In the project will provide information on realistic levels of costrecovery and external benefits that could be captured from pollutionreduction. As a result of these analyses, economic and fiscal incentives willbe proposed to reach those levels in a cost effective manner.

5.03 Twenty project concepts were identified on the basis of generalcriteria, i.e.: technical feasibility, replication in the sector and having a

* 18 * 115-GUUiL MU

technology transfer element. Of these project concepts, four demonstration

projects were selected for implementation on the basis of the following

criteria: addressing environmental issues of water and soil pollution, having

a social/economic pay off during the lifetime of the demonstration wlth no

introduction of price distortion, being oriented towards private sector

participation in implementation, and being consistent with the Bank's sector

operations in Morocco.

5.04 The following four demonstration projects fulfill the above mentioned

criteria and could be implemented as funding from bilateral or multilateral

donors is finalized. The feasibility studies showed that these projects will

need additional economical incentives to become financially viable. The

executive summary of these demonstration projects is found in section IX of

the project files.

(a) Recovery of chromium effluent from tanneries in Dokkarat near the

city of Fes. The objective is to introduce a simple and

efficient technology to recycle the industrial water used in

leather tanning and to recover chromium, a toxic substance, from

the water effluent for its reuse. The environmental benefit

resulting from this sub-project is the decrease of toxic

substances in water.

(b) Handling of olive press juice from a group of mills in Dokkarat.

The objective is to decrease of the high BOD/COD content in the

Sebou river produced by the juice and properly dispose of the

solid wastes resulting from olive oil production. The main

environmental benefits are the improvement of water quality of

the Sebou river, the largest in Korocco and the prevention of

water shortage in the industrial and touristic city of Fes.

(c) Waste water treatment from a sugar plant (SUNAG II) and an

adjacent alcohol plant (SOTRAMEG). The purpose of this

demonstration is to treat the liquid wastes from both plants

jointly and generate methane from the wastes for energy

production. The main environmental benefits resulting from this

operation are improved quality of treated water which will be

suitable for irrigation, reduction of the high BOD level in the

treated water by more than 90X and the prevention of groundwater

contamination.

(d) Municipal waste handling systems and preparation of an integrated

waste management plan for the city of Safi. The purpose of this

demonstration project is to establish national guidelines for

municipal waste handling and disposal and apply these guidelines

in establishing a waste management site in the medium sized city

of Safi. The main environmental benefits are the proper and safe

disposal of household wastes and minimizing health and safety

hazards.

- 19 - TE IGL AM

5.05 The estimated costs derived from the feasibility studies of thesedemonstration projects are US$20.5 milllon of which the Government hassolicited grants and/concessional loans for US$15.6 million to cover theforeign exchange (US$12.2 million) and certain local investment and operatingcosts. The Government has so far received a commitment from the AfricanDevelopment Bank to program FUA 10 million (corresponding to US$12.8 millionof concessionary loans) for the demonstration projects, and from the SwedishInternational Enterprise Corporation (SWEDECORP) for a grant of US$1.0 millionto finance part of the costs of the tanneries demonstration project. It isexpected that the total of US$13.8 million wlll cover the foreign exchangecosts of these projects as well as certain investment and operating costs.The Government expects to complete the financing of the remaining localinvestment costs estimated to be the equivalent of US$1.8 million.

VI. fxiected Benefits and Risks

6.01 The main benefit of the project will be to contribute to sustainableeconomic development by strengthening the Government's capability to manageand implement environmental policies, strategies and plans. By developing theenvironmental management competencies and establishing environment managementunits at the local government level, the project will start up and promote thecollaboration and coordination between the USE, the sector ministries and thelocal government. The project will also lay the foundation for future sectorand environmental lending operations which will all benefit from thestrengthening of the environmental institutions, clarifying the legalframework and institutionalizing the EIA process.

6.02 The major risks to project implementation are:

(a) environmental protection and management became recently part ofthe Government's political agenda and the environmentalmanagement system proposed by the project could be endangered bythe discontinuity of political commitment and support. To theextent possible, this risk has been addressed by: (i) involvingmajor sector ministries, agencies, NGOs, and donors in theproject preparation in order to build up consensus amonginstitutions; (ii) recent initiatives of organizing METAP IIdonor meeting in Morocco in May 1993 should strengthen theinitial consensus to promote environmental management.

(b) USE might experience resistance from the sector ministries tointerface with their environmental activities. To the extentpossible, this risk has been addressed by delineating thedetailed functions and responsibilities of the USE, the sectorministries and the provinces so that they will all be informed ofeach other functions. Furthermore, the multi-sectoral MCE willalso be restructured (para. 3.05) to ensure coordination andcollaboration among the major beneficiaries of this project;

- 20 - TEMICALA

(c) the project is institutionally complex as it involves severalcomponents and participating agencies. Although this risk is

inevitable in an environmental operation which includes a widerange of activities and many sectors, it would be reduced by (i)

limiting project intervention to only three ministries and one

province; (ii) establishing joint work programs agreeable by

these agencies; and (iii) establishing an inter-ministerialsteering committee to oversee project implementation

(d) Tho enactment of the two laws that the project will prepare may

be delayed and could occur after the end of projectimplementation. This risk was minimized by providing appropriate

technical assistance for the Government to prepare the above

mentioned laws so that they can be submitted to the GovernmentCouncil by the beginning of the third year of projectimplementation.

VII. Ajreements Reached

7.01 The following actions were agreed with the Government:

(a) The Government will carry out the Project in accordance with the

program outlined in the policy letter delineating the priority

objectives of the Government for environmental management and a

time schedule for processing the priority policy actions(para 1.19);

(b) it will ensure that the restructured NCE is operational by

July 1, 1994;

(c) it will maintain an interministerial steering committee with

membership and TORe acceptable to the Bank;

(d) It will carry out a mid term review by September 30, 1996 to

assess project progress on the basis of agreed indicators.

7.02 Conditions for Logan Effectivenes would iclude submitting a copy of

the revised decree for the NCE to the Government Council (para. 3.06), and

establishing the interministerial steering committee (para. 4.01).

KINGDOM OF MOROCCO

Ministry of the InteriorUnder Secretariat of State for the Protection of the Environment

POLIYLS(English Translation)

The President of the World Bank

Dear Mr. President:

Before setting out our policy with regard to protection of the

environment I would first like to express our satisfaction at the constructive

relationship that has developed on environmental issues between this

department and the World Bank. Our dialogue fully reflects the world-wide

consensus and political commitment to cooperate in the area of the environment

and sustainable development which was established at the highest level at the

Rio Conference exactly one year ago.

We have high hopes that the Environmental Management Project (EMP),on which we embarked more than two years ago, in conjunction with the Bank,

will further consolidate this relationship and provide us with substantial

support in the area of institutional strengthening. This project can make a

concrete contribution to the attainment of Morocco's policy objectives in the

area of the environment and sustainable development.

The political resolve to make the environment one of the focal points

of Morocco's development strategies and programs is reElected in the

establishment in August 1992 of the Under Secretariat of State for the

Protection of the Environment in the Office of the Minister of the Interior;

its principal tasks and functions are based on the directives and guidelines

issued by His Majesty the King.

This is a decisive step in that it is intended to ensure that

environmental conce .s are integrated into the development process in which

Morocco is resolutely engaged.

- 27 - NCICL AMN NT 1

The Under Secretariat is the Government department responsible fordefining and coordinating Morocco's environmental policy and evaluating itsImplementation; it has identified priorlty actlon areas that will allcontributo to achieving the objectlves of sustainable development, thus makingmanagement of the environment an essential component in Morocco's overalleconomic and social development policy.

1. Strengthoning the InstitutLonal and-Legal Framework

Since there can be no effective action on behalf of the envlronmentand sustainable development without an appropriate institutional and legalframework, the strengthening of the units responsible for managing theenvironment should in practice take the form of the organization andestablishment, within the government, of a central department responsible forthe environment, namely, the Under Secretariat of State. This is a politicaldecision of great significance, recognizing as it does the need for bettermanagement in this area and for shared responsibility among all Morocco'spartners.

The functions and responsibilitles of the Under Secretariat have beencarefully defined and are now in the process of being approved by thecompetent government authorities. Its principal functions can be summarizedas follows:

-* Formulation of environmental policies and strategies so as toensure that environmental considerations are incorporated indevelopment activities.

C Coordination of environmental protection and enhancementactivities and operations, on the clear understanding that thesectoral ministries are each responsible for the management andpromotion of the environment in their sector, and particularlyfor the executlon of concrete programs to protect it.

* Continous monitoring and evaluation of the environment on thebasis of scientific knowledge of the environmental situation andthe acquisition of pertinent basic data, as well as theintroduction of environment impact assessments. In this area,the National Environmental Laboratory for Pollution and Nuisanceswill play an essential role in the scientific monitoring ofpollution.

The same is true of the National Observatory for the Environment,which will play a similar role in the continuous assessment ofthe status of the environment in Morocco.

* Promotion of information, awareness-building, education andcontinuous training with a view to generating nationwide supportand helping to prepare future generations to manage theenvironment in a rational manner. The awareness program

- 28 - TECH=rIA ANN - OE: I

regarding the linkages between populatf.on, environment andeducation will be energetically pursued and developed.

* Reform of the legal framework so as to endow Morocco with a set

of laws and regulatory and economic instruments to promote the

attainment of the objectives of environmental policy andencourage socio-economic partners to contribute effectively to

protecting the environment. A case in point is the draft law on

the Protection and Promotion of the Environment, submitted to the

Government Council in May 93, which will serve as a benchmark for

the updating of existing legal instruments. The juridicalconcepts incorporated in this draft law will enable Morocco'senvironmental management problems to be addressed in a global,coordinated fashion. In addition to this law, other legislationwill be prepared on priority basis, including laws on theintegrated pollution control for the industrial establishments,on chemicals and toxic wastes and on environment impactassessments.

His Majesty's Government, well aware that the environment will be the

focus of increasing attention, and convinced of the increasingly important

role that the Under Secretariat will play in socio-economic activities, has

decided to make a significant increase in the department's budget to

DH 30 million for 1993, a seven-fold increase over the previous year.

This budget is basically intended to support pilot actions and other

initlatives, specifically the preparation of environmental monographs, audits

and lmpact assessments and the strengthening of monitoring activities. This

increased budget should also finance a significant strengthening of multi-

disciplinary human resources, so that the whole range of environmental issues

can be addressed. These new resources will reinforce Morocco's environmental

policy, as reflected in a number of programs and projects both initiated and

monitored entirely by the Under Secretariat.

The necessary strengthenlng of the institutional framework will

naturally involve the reinforcement of organizations responsible for

environmental management at both the national and local level.

Hence, along with the establishment of the Under Secretariat, the

role, functions and operations of the National Council of the Environment will

be redefined and its membership broadened through the inclusion not only of

representatives of the Government but of local authorities, the private sector

and professional organizations and associations. This will make the Council

an effective tool for the formulation and implementation of environmental

policies. The draft law amending the 1980 decree that established the Council

will very shortly be submitted to the responsible authorities.

In addition, to enhance the effectiveness of environmental

management, measures will be initiated to strengthen the operational functions

of ministerial departments, particularly the Ministries of Public Works and

- 29 - TECHNICAL IY Y : 1

Agriculture, and also agencies in the provinces, beginning with the Wllaya ofF&s. Decentralized units will also be called upon to play a leading role inregional and local environmental management and to ensure continuous liaisonwith the central authorities.

II. Integration of the Environmt in DLU1geat Activities.

Since environmental problems are intimately linked with those ofdevelopment, the integration of the environment and development Is absolutelyessential to the successful executlon of Morocco's envlronmental polliy. Thepreparation and adoption of a national action plan for the environment hasbeen of great benefit to the Government in the formulation of itsenvironmental policy and strategy.

The objective of this plan, which has just been launched, is toincorporate environmental issues in development activities, utilizingcontinuous monitoring and evaluation of the environment, legislation, controlmeasures and economic instruments. The plan will also identify thosedevelopment actions capable of alleviating the pressure on natural resources.It is expected that the plan will be finalized in December 1994.

The National Observatory for the Environment, which will include adatabank and a network of appropriate partners, will perform an essentialfunction in this area.

III. Depollution Activities

In view of complexity and cost of depollution operations, it seems tous opportune to undertake them first through a certain number of limitedactions of demonstrative nature, which are designed to develop a futuredirection, to contribute to the concrete depollution and to participate in theactive research of clean technologies and their transfer. These include theimplementation of certain demonstration projects, involving the dischargesfrom olive oil mills and tanneries (Wilaya of Fes), sugar mills and alcoholdistilleries (Kenitra Province) and solid wastes from the Safi urban area.These projects will provide an opportunity for the application ofinstitutional, legal and economic instruments, and the experience drawn fromthem will be utilized in other parts of the country.

These pilot operations will also permit the introduction ofenvironmental audits within enterprises and regions as well as the applicationof modern regulations and incentives systems.

It should be noted that certain donors have already expressed aninterest in contributing to the financing of these projects, specifically theGovernment of Sweden and the African Development Bank, which have already senta first mission to Morocco for this purpose. However, given the scope of theEMP, assistance from the World Bank for the process of seeking the cofinancingneeded for project implementation is absolutely essential.

-30 - TECHINfILM X AM -KEM

IV. Developgent of the Congeration

The complexity, diversity and interdependence of the main componentsof the environment, along with the scale of the issues involved, imply thatthis is an area very well suited to cooperation and partnership at all levels:national, subregional, regional and global.

At the national level, Morocco's action plan will therefore be theresult of a process of consultation with and participation by the differentplayers involved in environmental policy (public authorities, elected bodies,private sector and NGOs).

In addition, given the significance of environmental issues on theone hand and the indisputable importance of cooperation as a means ofachieving the objectives of sustainable development on the other, bilateraland multilateral cooperation are also basic features of Morocco's policies inthis area.

Consequently, international cooperation will be consolidated andfurther developed, specifically with financing agencies such as UNDP, theWorld Bank, the EIB and the ADB.

In this connection, we regard the METAP program as a pertinentexample of cooperation at the Mediterranean region level, and in our viewimplementation of the EMP meets the need for effective cooperation and mutualsolidarity.

These are the main elements of Morocco's policy for the environment.Nonetheless, environmental actions require the support and assistance of allsocio-economic partners, the public authorities, the private sector, electedbodies, local authorities and NGOs. The essential need, in fact, is for aglobal and integrated approach that combines the efforts of all these parties.

World Bank assistance for implementation of the EnvironmentalManagement Project will support our efforts at institutional strengthening,since in our view a sound management structure is essential if the sustainabledevelopment that Morocco earnestly desires is to be achieved. We are hopingto make optimal arrangements for the finalization of this project so thatimplementation can begin in the very near future (a timeschedule is alsoattached). In addition, all the necessary steps have already been taken toput in place the team of Moroccan experts that will be responsible formanagement of this important project.

Yours Sincerely,

Signed,Driss Basri
