and objectives:

The proposed project will finance procurement of road maintenance equipment to
be employed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications to carry out
essential maintenance work on the road network of Tajikistan.
|
Transition
impact:
|
The proposed project, together with a parallel technical cooperation
programme, will assist the Government to achieve sustainable road maintenance
on the republican road network of Tajikistan. Transition impact also builds
on the high economic returns which come from improved road maintenance, and
resulting lower transport costs. These in turn assist with regional
integration and social development.
|
The client:
|
The borrower is the Republic of Tajikistan. The project will be implemented by
the Ministry of Transport and Communications
|
EBRD
finance:
|
USD 4 million (EBRD loan).
The project will also benefit from an investment grant to be provided by the
Government of the Netherlands.
|
Total project cost:
|
Estimated USD 6 million.
|
Environmental impact:
|
Screened C/1.The Project involves only procurement of equipment and is
associated with no significant environmental issues. Some environmental
impacts may arise from the use of the road maintenance equipment. However,
these can be avoided or mitigated by appropriate management of road
maintenance and work practices. The Bank will fund a TC programme aiming at
improving the Ministry of Transport and Communications’ capacity to plan,
manage and implement road maintenance. The TC will produce a Road Maintenance
Management Plan, which will include an environmental management plan. This
will take into consideration the environmental management, mitigation and
protection measures that are being developed under the on-going road
rehabilitation programmes financed by the Government, other IFIs, and
bilateral assistance.
