Central Asia Energy Water Development Program
PROMOTING PATHWAYS
TO ENERGY AND
WATER SECURITY
2009-2017 IMPACT REPORT
FOREWORD
Central Asia presents a diverse geographic landscape which perpetually has been at the
crossroads of transport and trade; historically, the Silk Road, today, it is a key to connectivity
along the Eurasian Belt-and-Road Initiative. The region’s wealth of water and energy
resources equally create physical interlinkages between the countries that necessitate
coordination in the sustainable and equitable management of these resources. To this end,
the World Bank and its development partners have established the Central Asia Energy-
Water Development Program (CAEWDP) to support countries in their efforts to achieve
energy and water security.
The World Bank recognizes that “regional programs offer substantial potential to achieve
results on development issues [….] Regional projects have successfully built new assets and
protected existing ones in ways expected to benefit all participating countries.” (World Bank
Independent Evaluation Group). Enhanced collaboration at the national and regional levels
provide the Central Asian countries with the necessary information, capacity and resources
to catalyze socio-economic development, poverty reduction, and climate resilience.
In this spirit, the Program has been engaged in strengthening an enabling environment to
promote energy and water security by supporting national and regional initiatives together
with development partners since 2009. Activities have focused on connecting governments,
practitioners and youth with technological innovations and solutions to overcome legacy
resource management challenges and aging infrastructure.
The Program has and continues to deliver substantial technical expertise, analytics,
and diagnostics to enhance knowledge for informed decision-making to leverage smart
investments, while also creating the space for collaboration through transparent information
platforms and dialogue on energy and water security matters.

CAEWDP has established several important building-blocks and honed credible pathways
for significant development impacts. As the program is about to embark on a third funding
phase starting 2018, this report provides a stocktaking of CAEWDP results and impacts
to date.

REGIONAL WATER AND ENERGY NEXUS
In Central Asia, water and energy systems are inextricably intertwined (Fig. 1 and 2). Nature
determines the hydrologic interlinkages: multiple transboundary rivers, including the Amu
and Syr Darya of the Aral Sea basin, connect the territories of the Central Asian republics.
Energy interdependence is man-made: the newly independent states inherited the remains of
an intricate energy-for-water trading scheme which supplied electricity generated from the
downstream fossil energy riches to the upstream countries during the cold winter season,
so that the latter would store water for summer-irrigation needs in their reservoirs. With
the collapse of the Soviet Union a unitary system became transboundary overnight. The
re-established national borders continue to pose significant challenges to optimize asset
operation and for national and regional water and energy resources management. CAEWDP
was established to help the countries with these nexus challenges.

2.1 PROGRAM STRUCTURE
CAEWDP OBJECTIVE
The Central Asia Energy and Water Development Program (CAEWDP) is a partnership
between the World Bank, the European Commission, Switzerland (through SECO), the CAEWDP seeks to
United Kingdom (through DFID), and the United States (through USAID) to address the strengthen the enabling
challenges of cross-border system interlinkages and national and regional energy and water environment to promote
resources management. energy and water security

2.2 PROGRAM APPROACH
CAEWDP supports the beneficiary countries in achieving their water and energy resources
management priorities through national and regional actions, addressing the existing
challenges and identifying opportunities to generate benefits at the national level and
through regional cooperation. These priorities are framed by the “3-I”s – information,
institutions, and investments (Fig 4.). CAEWDP promotes an enabling environment for
water and energy security through generation of knowledge, strengthening of capacity
and dialogue processes, and identification of investments. From inception, the program
broadened its engagement progressively from diagnostic analyses and information to
increasingly strengthening institutions and to catalyzing investments.
2.3 HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS
CAEWDP’s support catalyzed complex regional investments, such as the Central Asia
Hydromet Modernization Project (CAHMP), the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation for the
Aral Sea Basin Project (CAMP4ASB) and the Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission
and Trade Project (CASA-1000). Analytical work at the national level supported policy
reforms and institutional strengthening, such as for Tajikistan’s energy sector. Transparent
dialogue processes provided opportunities for inclusive engagement of stakeholders and
open exchange of opinions among beneficiary countries and development partners, most
notably during the six-country consultations on the Rogun Assessment Studies.1
These examples represent only a selection of the outputs from the program’s technical
assistance activities and investment projects. Further achievements and regional impact of
the program to date are presented in the following sections.

CHAPTER 3.
PROGRAM IMPACT
10
3.1 PROMOTING ENERGY SECURITY
TRADE DISRUPTIONS, AGEING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
ELECTRICITY SHORTAGES
The disruption of the centralized Soviet energy trade system had severe impact on
electricity supply as well as on power trade and revenue generation. Energy security—an
essential component of economic growth—is a critical issue that Central Asian countries
need to address at national and regional levels. Failure to do so will continue to hinder
economic growth and negatively impact livelihoods and standards of living. CAEWDP
approached energy security challenges in Central Asia three dimensionally: inter-regionally,
intra-regionally, and nationally.
FACILITATING INTER- AND INTRA-REGIONAL ELECTRICITY TRADE
Considering Central Asia’s abundant hydropower potential and surplus production
possibilities during the summer months, CAEWDP facilitates the preparation for viable
inter-regional energy trade through the CASA-1000 Project. CASA-1000 is designed to
export hydropower from the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It is expected to generate revenue in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan—the two poorest
countries in Central Asia— and increase the energy security of their South Asian neighbors.
CAEWDP provides support to the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan financing technical
expertise and facilitation of meetings and negotiations of project related agreements as well
as preparation of country-specific Environmental and Social Impact Assessments. In 2015,
this facilitated the approval of several legal and commercial accords for CASA-1000, which
marked a fundamental step forward towards proceeding in infrastructure development.
Within the region, CAEWDP informs decision making on the revitalization of the
11
Central Asian Power System (CAPS) to realize the benefits of energy trade. The
Enhancing Regional Power Trade in Central Asia2 study estimates benefits lost to the countries
of Central Asia3 due to the underutilized significant potential of regional power trade during
2010-2014 at about US$ 6.4 billion (Fig. 5). CAEWDP remains committed to facilitate
investment preparation to revitalize the intra-regional power trade once the stakeholders
achieve agreement.

ADDRESSING WINTER ENERGY SHORTAGES AND STRENGTHENING
NATIONAL SECTOR PERFORMANCE
12 Focusing on alleviating winter electricity supply shortages and improving living
conditions, CAEWDP helped identify solutions to heating efficiency improvements
and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure in upstream countries. Pilot activities and
analytical assessments financed by CAEWDP informed the US$ 46 million the Kyrgyz
Republic: Heat Supply Improvement Project. This project is expected to benefit 215,000
residents in the Kyrgyz Republic through installation of 1.8 kilometers of district heating
pipelines, 1,931 substations, 4,020 hot water meters, and provisioning of 14,000 heating
stoves for poor households.
In Tajikistan, CAEWDP support resulted in the US$ 350 million Nurek Hydro Power
Plant (HPP) rehabilitation project. The much-needed rehabilitation is expected to increase
the HPP’s generation capacity from 2,320 MW to 2,725 MW, extend its operational-life and
significantly improve safety at the currently second tallest dam in the world (300-meters).
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan expressed their intent to modernize and develop their
economies by 2030 through their energy sectors. CAEWDP assisted the governments in
the preparation of long-term energy sector development plans with diagnostic and analysis,
recommendations, and capacity building training.
LEVERAGING LARGE-SCALE INVESTMENTS THROUGH CATALYTIC
FINANCING
CAEWDP contributions of approximately US$ 3.7 million to promoting energy security
have leveraged partner financing and investment projects with a value of more than
US$ 1.5 billion. In the next funding phase CAEWDP will continue its support to facilitating
investments, including in renewable energies, to help the Central Asian countries along their
pathways to sustained energy security.

3.2 EXPLORING SOLUTIONS FOR WATER SECURITY
HYDROLOGIC VARIABILITY, WATER LOGGING AND SOIL SALINIZATION
Surface water flows in the region vary significantly between years and seasons. The expansive
semi-arid steppe receives little to no rainfall, while the upstream mountainous areas receive
plenty. Given the hydrologic variability and uneven distribution of the resource, rural, urban and
industrial development is dependent on adequate flow management along the rivers that connect
Central Asian countries. At the same time, national governments struggle to rehabilitate ageing
irrigation, drainage and water supply infrastructure (e.g. 50 percent of irrigated lands are affected
by salinization and waterlogging because of poor irrigation and drainage systems). Looking ahead,
population growth and the need for increased agricultural production will continue to strain the
region’s water resources. CAEWDP works with governments to explore solutions and integrate best
practices that foster water security (Fig. 7).

• 16 percent of surveyed unconnected households claimed to have suffered
negative health impacts because of poor WSS conditions
• Report provided recommendations to improve the
WSS sector in Uzbekistan
CONNECTING TO GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE
Internationally, CAEWDP connects the region to global
knowledge and good practice. At the High Level Symposium on SDG
6 and Targets: Ensuring that No One is Left Behind in Access to Water
and Sanitation hosted by the Government of Tajikistan on August
9-11, 2016 in Dushanbe, CAEWDP organized a Thematic Session
on Increasing Water Use Efficiency bringing the World Bank’s
global experience. The session discussed the challenges as well as
solutions from Vietnam, Mexico, the Philippines and the Nile Basin
to effectively implement Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.4
to “substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors
and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to
address water scarcity, and substantially reduce the number of
people suffering from water scarcity.”
IDENTIFYING SOLUTIONS FOR INCREASED
ENERGY AND WATER PRODUCTIVITY IN
AGRICULTURE
CAEWDP serves as a platform to link national water management
to the regional energy-water nexus. The Program informs policy
decisions of the Central Asian governments through diagnostic
analysis and investment recommendations. The assessment
on the Costs of Irrigation Inefficiency in Tajikistan demonstrated
the high opportunity costs of pumped irrigation; recommended
improvements could generate up to US$ 15.11 million in power
trade revenue annually in the context of CASA-1000. The interest
of Kazakhstan to conduct a similar study through a Reimbursable
15
Advisory Services (RAS) initiative created opportunities for cross-
learning and knowledge exchange.
Nationally, CAEWDP helps governments to identify alternatives
for optimization of agricultural water use. Diagnostic activities
performed by CAEWDP for the governments of Uzbekistan and
Tajikistan assessed irrigation inefficiency within the countries by
examining water management, irrigation methods, and pumped
irrigation schemes. The knowledge generated on efficient water
allocation and use, better crop cultivation, and stakeholder
relationship building from these activities informs decision making
on national policies and legal frameworks, such as the Water Code
in Uzbekistan, currently being discussed in the national parliament.
ANALYZING EFFECTIVENESS OF SERVICE
PROVISION
The ultimate beneficiaries of water security investments are at
the household level. With a view to addressing public health risks and
improving living conditions in the region, CAEWDP financed diagnostic
analyses of water supply and sanitation (WSS) services in various
countries. Recommendations coming out of these studies contribute
to national WSS programs and inform government decision-making.
Within this context, the World Bank is currently working with the
Governments of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to prepare investments in
WSS institutions and infrastructure.
3.3 ADDRESSING CLIMATE RISKS
ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND MELTING GLACIERS
Climate change challenges are closely interwoven with the issues of water availability and
energy security with significant risks to livelihoods in Central Asia. The World Bank report
Turn Down the Heat: Confronting the New Climate Normal, co-financed by CAEWDP, predicts
more intense warming in Central Asia than the global average in a 4°C warmer world. Impacts
will be felt in all sectors vital to economic growth and development in the region. The region’s
glaciers, accounting for 10 percent of the annual stream flow in the Amu Darya and Syr Darya
basins, have already shrunk by one-third in volume since the beginning of the 20th century.
Climate change is projected to lead to more severe and prolonged droughts and increased
incidents of flooding. Costs of weather-related disasters already account for 1 percent of GDP
per year in Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic. Adaptation will be a requirement rather than an
option for the region.
INFORMING HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Analysis deepened the understanding of climate change impacts on future hydropower
potential and the region’s water and energy resources. The CAEWDP financed Assessment
of the Role of Glaciers in Stream Flow from the Pamir and Tien Shan mountains analyzes the role
of glaciers in Amu Darya and Syr Darya stream flows and assess the potential impacts
of various climate change scenarios. This study provided important information on future
availability of water resources for hydropower production during the CASA-1000 negotiations.
The Turn Down the Heat: Confronting the New Climate Normal report has been globally
disseminated. It exposes alarming scenarios of climate impacts in a +4-degree world, urging
16 the global community to undertake proactive actions to meet world carbon reduction goals.
CATALYZING REGIONAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
CAEWDP expanded the scope of the water-energy nexus integrating climate resilience
aspects, in line with the 3-I’s approach. Two high-profile Climate Knowledge Forums,
which took place in 2013 and 2014, led to the first investment program for Climate
Mitigation and Adaptation in the Aral Sea Basin (CAMP4ASB). Involving a wide range of
stakeholders at all levels, this program promotes the modernization of climate knowledge
services and establishes a platform for climate resilience investments. More than 215 sub-
loans in Tajikistan and 4 credits in Uzbekistan are currently being implemented with direct
involvement of civil society.
The Central Asia Hydrometeorology Modernization Project (CAHMP), prepared with
CAEWDP support, aims at improving the accuracy and timeliness of hydromet services for
improved early warning, weather forecasting, and climate change assessments. It represents
a significant investment in technological upgrades and the region’s human capital. Activities
support south-south learning exchanges, and training courses on emergency situations,
involving both immediate-responders and civil servants from the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan,
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. (Fig. 8)

3.4 EMPOWERING THROUGH NETWORKS AND KNOWLEDGE
LIMITED RESOURCES TO MODERNIZE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
AND TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION
Resources are limited to upgrade and modernize outdated water and energy information
systems, rehabilitate facilities and training, and strengthen institutions. The lack of
resources contributes to the unreliability of data exchange and increasing capacity gaps
within institutions. This negatively affects the enabling environment for effective regional
water and energy resources management and coordination. At the same time, there are
windows of opportunity to harness the knowledge of the current water managers and the
eagerness of young professional to embrace new technologies and innovations. (Fig. 9)

ESTABLISHING COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE AND INVESTING IN
THE NEXT GENERATION
Addressing Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) challenges requires
commitment to coordination among different agencies and institutions across and
despite administrative barriers. CAEWDP facilitated cross-sectoral working groups
(CWG) of experts to develop solutions tackling IWRM challenges. The CWG under the
Regional Center of Hydrology developed practical recommendations for decision makers
on priority measures for preventing Shardara Dam safety failure and enhancing emergency
measures in case of disaster. The CWG recommendations were adopted by the Government
of Kazakhstan and measures focused on mudflow security and hydro meteorological
monitoring and forecasting have been implemented by the respective ministries.
Through collaboration with the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) and
CAEWDP financing, the Knowledge Institutions Network in Central Asia, consisting of 26
regional universities, promoted cross-regional academic cooperation for youth development.
Over 30 events reaching more than 500 participants from the five Central Asian countries
and Afghanistan took place between 2014-2017 to facilitate cross-country knowledge
exchange on water resource management and climate issues. Twenty successful proposals
from a research competition were selected for funding and contributed with new knowledge
and solutions to water-energy related problems. The wider Knowledge Network supported
by CAEWDP also includes the Central Asia Youth Forum on Water.

BRIDGING KNOWLEDGE GAPS THROUGH INFORMATION
EXCHANGE AND TRANSPARENCY
20 Following an inclusive national and regional consultation process, CAEWDP prepared
the Strengthening Analysis for integrated water resources management in Central
Asia: a Road Map for Action in 2012. The Road Map identifies twelve distinct activities
focusing on data management, modeling, governance and capacity building. This provided
the framework for CAEWDP’s engagement in developing a shared and accessible knowledge
platform following eight guiding principles for regional efforts that were identified during the
consultation process (Fig. 10).
The knowledge platform is driven by the concept of an integrated decision-support system
for informed decision making, which includes three key parameters: data, analytics, and
institutions. Guided by these parameters, the systematic engagement at the national-level
and in regional forums focused on introducing an increased understanding of the energy-
water nexus principles and possibilities through exemplar, modeling tools (i.e. AralDIF, BasinIT,
& BEAM models, and Spatial Agent App). It links with the Knowledge Network to provide
stakeholders with a platform for dialogue and information exchange (Fig.11) Large-scale
international knowledge events, such as the 2016 Water Futures Forum & EXPO, provided
opportunities for the countries to connect, advance mutual understanding and create a
fertile ground for new ideas.
FACILITATING THE REGIONAL DIALOGUE
CAEWDP’s active engagement with EC-IFAS provided an opportunity to open a
dialogue on priority water issues. Established in 1993, the International Fund for Saving
the Aral Sea (IFAS) is the regional organization mandated by the Heads of State of five

the final phase of consultations was followed by a High-level Meeting of the First Deputy Joint Ministerial Statement

11th Central Asia Regional
Economic Cooperation
(CAREC) ministerial
meetings in Wuhan, China:
CHAPTER 4.
FOSTERING PARTNERSHIPS
22
4.1 ONE REGION, SIX COUNTRIES AND DIVERSE
DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS
Many development partners engage on energy and water issues with the six countries
in the region. This inherently carries the risk of uncoordinated interventions missing out
opportunities to increase impact through synergistic planning and complementarity.
Collaboration and coordination requires effort and has transaction costs. However, regular
consultations and coordination among development partners enhance impact, prevent
duplication and strengthen complementarity. The World Bank, recognized as an honest
broker, addresses partnership coordination directly through CAEWDP.
4.2 ESTABLISHING PARTNERSHIPS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS
Partnerships are critical to the rational and sustainable use of water and energy
resources in Central Asia. CAEWDP brings together governments, national and
regional organizations, civil society organizations, and development partners, including
other international financial institutions. The Program is anchored in partnerships with
governments to ensure that program activities address national priorities. CAEWDP
also partners with regional organizations whose mandates are to convene discussions on
regional issues, such as the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS). And finally,
CAEWDP cooperates with other development and financing partners to enhance impact in
meeting its objectives and to leverage investments by others. Within the Central Asia region,
CAEWDP collaborates, among others, with the Organization for Security and Co-operation
in Europe (OSCE), European Investment Bank (EIB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and
23
German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ). The Road Map for Strengthening IWRM
Analysis was developed in partnership with the Swiss Development Corporation (SDC) and
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE); and CAEWDP partnered with the
UNRCCA in the Rogun consultations4 and the UNRCCA’s regional dialogue on a cooperative
framework for transboundary water management.
CAEWDP engages at multiple levels to ensure effective coordination among stakeholders
in the region and beyond. The program participates in several coordination platforms;
including the Energy Donor Coordination Committee (DCC) in Tajikistan, the CAREC ESCC5,
the Regional Environmental Center for Central Asia (CAREC) and the Enhanced Regional
Cooperation on Environment, Climate Change and Water Project of the European Union
(WECOOP). Joint efforts to address energy and water issues comprehensively have been
recognized by the Central Asian governments at the 11th CAREC Ministerial Meetings in
Wuhan China in November 2012.
4 The Rogun Consultations engaged the governments of the Aral Sea Basin (Central Asia and Afghanistan), civil
societies, and diplomatic and development agencies in a program to share information and analysis from the
assessment studies of the proposed Rogun Hydropower project.
5 The ESCC is one of four working committees of the CAREC program, an ADB-hosted partnership of ten countries
(Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,
and Uzbekistan) supported by six multilateral institutions (ADB, Islamic Development Bank, JICA, USAID, UNDP
and World Bank) working together to promote accelerated growth and poverty reduction through cooperation.
“We are delighted to note that some of the 4.3 CREATING FINANCING PARTNERSHIPS
AND CATALYZING INVESTMENTS
academic exchange activities carried out
under our program will be further scaled up under
the USAID-funded Smart Waters Project, to be
implemented by CAREC in 2015-2020. Linking CAEWDP serves as a platform to identify and finance
now practitioners with youth from all over Central priority development interventions together with others
Asia in the area of water resource management will partners. In 2014-2015, the Knowledge Institutions Network
contribute to enhanced security and development in partnered with CAREC to launch a research competition
the region in the future.” among Masters’ students from the Central Asian countries
as part of the capacity building and youth engagement
Julia Komagaeva, Program Coordinator of the Central efforts. Based on the success of this initiative, USAID
Asia Knowledge Network Program provided over US$10 million additional financing to CAREC
for the “Smart Water” project to further expand water-energy
nexus Research & Development activities for youth in Central
Asia from 2015-2020. Energy projects supported through
CAEWDP are being realized by large financing consortiums.
CASA-1000 is financed by a consortium which includes the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the
EIB, the Islamic Development Bank, the United Kingdom,
the United States and the World Bank together with the
four participating countries. And the rehabilitation of Nurek
Hydroelectric Plant, the preparation of which was initially
supported by CAEWDP and which will ease Tajikistan’s winter
energy deficit, has become possible through a financing
partnership of the World Bank, the Asian Infrastructure
Investment Bank and the Eurasian Development Bank with
24 the Government of Tajikistan.
4.4 THE WAY AHEAD
The achievement of high-level regional goals is possible
only through continued and dedicated long-term
engagement. CAEWDP will continue to promote water
and energy security working at national scale to carry on
with the strengthening of national institutional capacities
and sector performance, while at the same time keeping
regional cooperation on the political dialogue agenda to
create an enabling environment for national priorities and
regional priorities to eventually converge. As the Program
enters its third funding phase in 2018, the Program reflects
the official addition of Afghanistan as a sixth direct
beneficiary country of CAEWDP funds. This formalizes the
ongoing practice of Afghanistan’s participation in multiple
CAEWDP activities, in particularly those focused on regional
consultations. The CAEWDP partnership of donors remains
open to all development partners who want to contribute
to promoting pathways to energy and water security in
Central Asia.
