Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1.

The restructuring was also used to adjust some intermediate results for key performance indicators and also monitor recyclables that are collected from participating communities by the informal waste sector. Roll-out of household level waste separation is largely on target. Currently, works for the six transfer stations (TS), the recyclables sorting station and the KWTF have been fully or substantially been completed and all this infrastructure is now operational. Impressive public information campaigns are supporting the implementation of the Project and quantities of source-separated materials have are increasing and expected to reach the targeted levels. Some challenges remain to achieve the quality targets for segregated kitchen waste and actions have been agreed for improvements in the 6/28/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ningbo Municipal Solid Waste Minimization and Recycling Project (P123323) course of 2019. An extension of the loan closing date by one year to March 31, 2020 was approved and effectuated to complete resettlement housing and provide more time for other parts of the project to come to fruition, with good quality data for future decision-making.

At present, after initiation in January 2019, the system is picking up with collection rates of 15 tons/day to reach 150 tons/day (or more Comments: than 50,000 tons/year on annual basis) which is above the project target. It is expected that this new system which separately collects metals/paper/plastics/textile will take over the current blue-bin system that collects these materials is one combined material flow of recyclables. Overall Comments PDO Kitchen waste target is expected to be reached around September 2019, the target for recyclables should be reached around December 2019. The first (combined) indicator is derived from the kitchen waste and recyclables indicators. Intermediate Results Indicators by Components Component 1.
