Description of the activities The activity consists in the collection of data from the water supply and sewerage (WSS) companies in the country according to the identified check-list, by means of sending questionnaires aiming to investigate the feasibility of using the hydroenergy potential in the existing water supply systems and enhancing the potential of existing small hydroelectric power plants in the water supply systems. The questionnaire was sent to 44 WSS companies of state, municipal and mixed (state and municipal) ownership, by SEDA letter No. РД-07-202/02.07.2020. The companies were provided the details of the contact person from the project team, for additional information and providing assistance in filling in the questionnaire. In addition, SEDA asked the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works and the Bulgarian WSS Holding EAD for assistance in establishing contacts with the WSS companies. In order to facilitate the access and ensure better operability, the questionnaire was published on SEDA website in the dedicated project section. II. List of WSS companies that were approached with information requests In relation with implementing the activity, questionnaires were sent to potential WSS companies of state and/or municipal ownership. More than 30 phone calls were made in the course of collecting the information, for giving additional guidance on filling the questionnaires. A list of the WSS companies to which information requests and questionnaires were sent is included in Appendix 1. III. Summary of facts Information has been collected about potential locations identified by the respective companies, including flow, head, type and dimensions of the pipelines, as well as the potential for implementing particular projects. Information was received about particular preliminary studies on the construction of small hydropower plants, including detailed analyses of the technical potential of the particular systems. Answers were received from some of the WSS companies approached with the questionnaire, informing that following the analysis of their systems, they concluded that no appropriate infrastructure is available. 3 IV. List of parameters Appendix 2: Summary list of the parameters received from the WSS companies V. Identified potential companies for ascertainment of facts The information collected from the questionnaires received by SEDA is summarised in Appendix 2. Due to difficulties experienced by the WSS companies in filling in the questionnaire, e.g. insufficient available data, the information collected may not be used for precise identification of locations with hydroenergy potential. For this purpose, it shall be necessary to make real measurements at particular sections, to identify the actual potential to install SHPPs, which is the subject of performing Project Activity 5. 4 Appendix 1: List of the WSS companies to which information requests and questionnaires were sent.

The first known civilization in the region was that of the Thracians, whose culture reached a peak in the sixth century B.C. Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

  • Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016
    Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016 Abstract We show that unexpected financial windfalls increase corruption in local govern- ment. Our analysis uses a new data set on flood-related transfers, and the associated spending infringements, which the Bulgarian central government distributed to mu- nicipalities following torrential rains in 2004 and 2005. Using information from the publicly available audit reports we are able to build a unique objective index of cor- ruption. We exploit the quasi-random nature of the rainfall shock (conditional on controls for ground flood risk) to isolate exogenous variation in the amount of funds received by each municipality. Our results imply that a 10 % increase in the per capita amount of disbursed funds leads to a 9.8% increase in corruption. We also present suggestive evidence that more corrupt mayors anticipated punishment by voters and dropped out of the next election race. Our results highlight the governance pitfalls of non-tax transfers, such as disaster relief or assistance from international organizations, even in moderately strong democracies.

    Annex REPORT FOR 2019 UNDER THE “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA 2012 - 2020 Operational objective: A national monitoring progress report has been prepared for implementation of Measure 1.1.2. “Performing obstetric and gynaecological examinations with mobile offices in settlements with compact Roma population”. During the period 01.07—20.11.2019, a total of 2,261 prophylactic medical examinations were carried out with the four mobile gynaecological offices to uninsured persons of Roma origin and to persons with difficult access to medical facilities, as 951 women were diagnosed with diseases. The implementation of the activity for each Regional Health Inspectorate is in accordance with an order of the Minister of Health to carry out not less than 500 examinations with each mobile gynaecological office. Financial resources of BGN 12,500 were allocated for each mobile unit, totalling BGN 50,000 for the four units. During the reporting period, the mobile gynecological offices were divided into four areas: Varna (the city of Varna, the village of Kamenar, the town of Ignatievo, the village of Staro Oryahovo, the village of Sindel, the village of Dubravino, the town of Provadia, the town of Devnya, the town of Suvorovo, the village of Chernevo, the town of Valchi Dol); Silistra (Tutrakan Municipality– the town of Tutrakan, the village of Tsar Samuel, the village of Nova Cherna, the village of Staro Selo, the village of Belitsa, the village of Preslavtsi, the village of Tarnovtsi,
