EMERGENCY INTERVENTION FROM LORETO BY FLOODS IN 2012 LESSONS LEARNED L RETO LESSONS LEARNED L O RETO EMERGENCY INTERVENTION FROM LORETO BY FLOODS IN 2012 Este documento ha sido elaborado con el Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil (INDECI), el Gobierno Regional de Loreto, el apoyo nanciero de Cruz Roja Peruana, Plan Internacional, UNICEF, OCHA y el apoyo técnico de COOPI, Cruz Roja Peruana, UNICEF, OCHA, FAO y Plan Internacional, en el marco de la respuesta a la emergencia por inundaciones en la Región Loreto en 2012. ESP AÑOL 001 Presentation / 05 Presentation The lived experience during the Regional Emergency caused by the floods and the unusual rise of the Amazonian rivers, which surpassed the levels registered in the previous years, allows us to prepare a situation analysis of the joint activities developed with local and national institutions and the valuable support of cooperation institutions, like UNICEF. During all the process of supportive activities, the Regional Operations Centre for Emergencies (COER-LORETO), created by Regional Executive Resolution Nº202-2012-GRL-P, dated April 02, 2012, has played a major role in attention to victims of the floods from the Amazonian rivers in 2012. It was this Regional Centre who brought together and channelled all the efforts for the installation of shelters in the city and their respective basic services such as health, drinking water and electric supply. It also coordinated with PRONAA daily the early delivery of food and provisions to all districts considered within the emergency. Humanitarian aid was obtained from the National Institute of Civil Defence (INDECI), chaired by Alfredo E. -
EVJR1906 Ex-Post
Republic of Peru FY2018 Ex-post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan “Iquitos Sewerage Improvement and Expansion Project” External Evaluator: Nobuyuki Kobayashi, OPMAC Corporation 0. Summary The objective of this project is to treat sewage properly and to widen the coverage of sewerage service in Iquitos in the Department of Loreto, one of the major cities in the Amazon region, by improving and expanding the sewerage system, thereby contributing to improved sanitary conditions and living environment in the area. This project was highly relevant to the country’s development plan and development needs, as well as to Japan’s ODA policy. Regarding the project plan and the approach, however, it can be concluded that an assessment should have been made at the time of the appraisal whether the sewage collection method and the sewage treatment method of this project would function adequately considering local circumstances. Therefore, its relevance is fair. Considering the changes in outputs in this project, the cost of this project exceeded the plan. In addition, the project period significantly exceeded the plan. Therefore, efficiency of the project is low. Regarding the indicators for the outcome of this project (the proper treatment of sewage in Iquitos and the expansion of sewerage coverage), out of the seven indicators set at the ex-ante evaluation, five have not been achieved. The sewage treatment plant has stopped its operation since July 2016. Regarding the impacts of this project improvements in hygiene conditions and living environment of the residents in Iquitos, no impacts has been verified as the contribution of this project. This project achieved its objectives at a limited level and, thus, the effectiveness and impacts of the project are low. -

Using cases studies of oil extraction in blocks 1AB (192), 8 in Loreto (2006 to 2015), and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process for the expansion of the Camisea gas project in block 88 in Cusco, this dissertation explores how environmental decision-making processes of oil and gas projects are structured and enacted. In doing so, this study sheds light on the shifting interactions, negotiations, struggles and (at times) open conflicts between actors that define why, how and where hydrocarbon projects take place in the Amazon. -
