Three sub-projects worth $3.435m were financed under the Banque du Liban (BDL) financing window and were transferred to the current funding modality under the Lebanon Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (LEPAP) on January 12th, 2018. Additional sub-projects, worth approximately $5.0m, have been identified and are currently under preparation to begin implementation in 2018. A further pipeline of sub-projects has been identified. A Mid-Term Review (MTR) of the project was completed in April 2018 which provided guiding recommendations to increase the effectiveness and impact of the project. Activities to support the second part of the Project Development Objective (PDO) on ‘strengthening the monitoring and enforcement capabilities of the Ministry of Environment (MOE) is lagging behind, and will be accelerated in order to ensure the PDO is achieved. Following the MTR, a six-month action plan that highlights actions to be taken by October 2018 was agreed on to improve project performance and achievement of the PDO. These actions are being monitored monthly with the Project Management Unit (PMU), along with a plan to ensure that the agreed actions materialize in a timely manner. A project restructuring to refine the results framework was completed on June 29, 2018. 6/29/2018 Page 2 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report LB-Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (P143594) 6/29/2018 Page 3 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report LB-Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (P143594) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  High  High Macroeconomic  --  High  High Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Substantial  Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  High  High Fiduciary  --  High  High Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  High  High Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  High  High Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Enterprises financed through the project aiming towards the environmental compliance Decree no. 8471-2012 (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 3.00 3.00 10.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 6/29/2018 Page 4 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report LB-Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (P143594) PHINDPDOTBL  BOD/COD reduction achieved under the project in the targeted enterprises (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 50.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDPDOTBL  Particulate Matter reduction achieved under the project in the targeted enterprises (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 50.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDPDOTBL  Industrial waste reduced under the project in the targeted enterprises (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 50.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDPDOTBL  Increase in number of non-compliant operational enterprises addressed in letters from MOE to MOI/ Ministry of interior and municipalities, governors-municipalities and environmental prosecutors (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 50.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators 6/29/2018 Page 5 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report LB-Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (P143594) PHINDIRITBL  Participating banks lending to enterprises (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 3.00 3.00 4.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDIRITBL  Sub-loans issued to enterprises for pollution reduction (Amount(USD), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 3.43 3.43 14.96 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDIRITBL  Guidelines and tools for environmental monitoring/compliance for specific industrial sectors developed (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 8.00 8.00 9.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDIRITBL  People trained on environmental compliance/ monitoring/ enforcement and awareness (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 55.00 55.00 100.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 6/29/2018 Page 6 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report LB-Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (P143594) PHINDIRITBL  Industrial database including monitoring, permitting, and enforcement data operational (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 PHINDIRITBL  Enterprises that benefit from LEPAP environmental services (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 40.00 Date 01-Aug-2014 15-May-2018 15-May-2018 31-Mar-2021 Overall Comments The level two restructuring involved changes to the indicators in the Results Framework (RF). PDO level and intermediate indicators were fine- tuned and clarified to adequately reflect project activities and targets revised in line with the implementation progress and expected results at the end of the project. Targets of some original indicators were not defined at approval, while some are unrealistic and unlikely to be achieved as there will not be enough financing to provide sub loans to the originally targeted number of enterprises. These indicators were adjusted to reflect progress. Some Intermediate level indicators were moved to the PDO level as they are outcome indicators and some output oriented indicators moved to the intermediate level. Additional indicators to capture the second PDO on strengthening monitoring and enforcement capabilities of MOE were added.
