This will be achieved through (i) rehabilitation and expansion of existing water and wastewater systems, and (ii) enhancing the capacity of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) to sustain water and wastewater services. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured)PHRPDODEL To improve the quality and efficiency of water supply and wastewater service provision in Gaza and assist in restoration of basic water supply and wastewater services through: (i) rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing and damaged water and wastewater systems, and (ii) enhancing the capacity of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) to sustain water and wastewater services.

Additional Financing (designed for US$15 million) of US$ 11.7 million became effective in January 2015, including US$ 3.0 million financed from Trust Fund for Gaza and West Bank and US$8.7 million from the Partnership for Infrastructure Development Multi-Donor Trust Fund (PID MDTF, financed by Sweden, Finland, AFD, Netherland, Denmark, Norway, Croatia, and Portugal). The main purpose of the AF is to help finance the cost associated with the scaling-up of project activities and restoring the damages that has occurred during the last conflict in Gaza (July 5-Agust 26, 2014). The project is implemented jointly by the Project Management Unit (PMU) at the PWA as well as by the CMWU. The MTR was conducted after the effectiveness of the Additional Financing in January 2015. The MTR therefore confirmed that both the PDO and the Results Framework are still relevant and adequate for the project, and that the project is performing well. The Project is rated satisfactorily for achievement of PDO as well as for Implementation Progress due to the low level of disbursement. The PMU and the CMWU are implementing a detailed plan for the rehabilitation of water and wastewater infrastructure damaged in Gaza as a result of bombardments and ground incursions in summer 2014. Project targets as defined in the results framework, are significantly being met: disinfection efficiency achieved the target at 99.0%. Collection efficiency increased from 25% during the conflict to 40% currently. It should be noted that before the AF the target was 53%, but since many household connections were destroyed the target was revised downwards as part of the AF restructuring. Several sewage pumping station, which serve northern and southern governorates with more than 53,000 inhabitants, were rehabilitated and upgraded and the maintenance procedures were improved. As a result, wastewater services (effluent quality) improved to 78.9% load removal, and the risk of flooding as a result of deteriorated pumping stations was eliminated. In deteriorated pumping stations was eliminated. In total, 1.7 million inhabitants (of which 49% women) in urban areas were provided with access to improved water sources and over 1.12 million inhabitants benefitted from restored water supply and wastewater services. Due to improvement in the system efficiency, the non-revenue water was reduced and reached 35.5%. Three water reservoirs (Deir Al Balah of 4000 m3 , Bani Suhaila of 4000 m3 and Al-Mograka with 3000 m3 capacity ) have been constructed and are ready to be connected to serve the 190,000 inhabitants in Deir Al Balah, Al Zawaida and Bani Suhaila besides (Khozaa) water tank under tightness and hydraulic tests and electromechanical eqguipment are 75% completed. These reservoirs will blend desalinated water with water supplied from a cluster of ground water wells, hence enhancing the quality of the pumped groundwater. Rehabilitation works included 40 kilometers (accumulative) of piped networks restored and 11840 water meters are installed. Under the O&M program, 120,000 m3/day of wastewater were evacuated by pumps and around 9,800 tons /year of organic load were removed by the treatments plants supported under the project. Rehabilitation and upgrading of electro- mechanical works and services were done for all water wells in the project areas, and a number of old and less efficient pumping units have been replaced by more efficient systems which lead to significant reduction in the specific power consumption per cubic meter of water (0.40 kw/h/m).
