Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

The project will also support preparation of technical documentation for remediation works for two industrial waste disposal sites at the Aluminum Plant in Podgorica, and further development of the regulatory framework for hazardous and industrial waste management in Montenegro. Remediation works at all three sites that need cleanup are ongoing (Gradac, Pljevlja/Maljevac and Bijela). Delays in works at all three sites, related to e.g. COVID-19 measures since March 2020 and bad weather conditions in the spring of 2020 and the spring of 2021, as well as the waste export challenge at the Bijela site. However, milestone progress has been made at the Bijela site with waste exports resumed since May 2021. In order to complete the agreed works and other required activities under Component 1 (KAP sites remediation design) and Component 2 (technical assistance for national hazardous waste management) and achieving the PDO, the government has requested a project extension of one more year from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022. 6/10/2021 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Industrial Waste Management and Cleanup Project (P122139) The Project is implemented by the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) and the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism (MSDT). The NEPA has for this purpose established a Project Management Unit (PMU) and is supported by the Technical Services Unit (TSU under Ministry of Finance) for Procurement and Financial Management tasks.
