TRANSLATED VERSION OF THIS PSD:RUSSIAN Translated version of this PSD: PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2011 the EBRD established a sovereign framework of up to EUR 20 million to co-finance with international donors priority water and wastewater rehabilitation projects across the Kyrgyz Republic. Under the framework the Bank provides sovereign loans, on-lent or on-granted to participating water companies. The sub-projects address urgently needed water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation needs. The original framework is now fully subscribed and the Bank is considering extending the facility with EUR 20 million. SUB-PROJECTS Sub-projects under the original Framework TRANSITION IMPACT Transition Impact of the extended framework would be: THE CLIENT Government of the Kyrgyz Republic EBRD FINANCE The EBRD loans under the extended framework would be provided to the Kyrgyz Republic and on-lent or on-granted to participating cities for the benefit of participating water companies. PROJECT COST Framework extension: EUR 20 m to be co-financed by international donors. The sub-project cost for each individual city to be determined. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The Framework includes municipal projects that will facilitate critical improvements in selected water supply and wastewater treatment services in several cities across Kyrgyzstan. The projects under the Framework will help to reduce the environmental and health hazards posed by unreliable water supply and inadequate quality of the wastewater treatment, improve resilience to climate change, and overall enhance the quality and reliability of the key municipal services. The Environmental and Social Due Diligence ("ESDD") for each project will be carried out by independent consultants as part of the Feasibility Study and will include at a minimum an assessment of potential Environmental and Social ("E&S") impacts and benefits, and an E&S audit of the management systems, operations and facilities of each participating City to help structure the projects. The ESDD will also need to ascertain whether the proposed investments will suffice to bring drinking water quality and wastewater discharge levels in compliance with EU standards. Separate PSDs for each sub-project will be disclosed once the results of ESDD for these sub-projects become available. TECHNICAL COOPERATION Pre-signing for each sub-project

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent. You can contact the PCM at pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form, http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en. You can learn more about the PCM and how to file a complaint at http://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/project-finance/project-complaint-mechanism.html.
