Hettige (Quality Reviewer), F. De Guzman (Senior Evaluation Officer), W. Zhou and D. Gibson (Consultants). 2 I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Rationale 1. Azerbaijan’s water supply and sanitation (WSS) system was old and generally in a poor state of repair. Secondary towns faced particularly critical situations characterized by missing or dysfunctional water treatment facilities and inappropriately sized and dilapidated distribution network. As a result, most households had no access to safe drinking water, despite a piped- network coverage rate of 83%. The sewerage system in secondary towns was also in poor condition, with a mere 32% coverage in urban areas other than Baku. Poor sanitation and leaking sewers created serious health risks and environmental hazards. 2. With improving access to basic services identified as a strategic priority,1 the government set targets of 100% coverage by 2015 and 24-hour water supply in Baku, and 80%–85% coverage in secondary towns and villages. In view of the magnitude of required investments in WSS improvements and the scale of related policy reforms, the government recognized the need for sequenced interventions linked with reforms for improving WSS service delivery in secondary towns and requested ADB to finance part of its investment program. 3. ADB approved a multitranche financing facility (MFF) in September 2009 for the WSS Investment Program up to $600 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources.2 The program aimed to improve public health and environment in the participating towns with about 500,000 residents, through enhanced coverage, continuity and quality of water supply and wastewater disposal. It proposed five tranches, and adopted a long-term and holistic approach to improve facilities, institutions, and capacities, which would collectively contribute to enhanced service delivery. The use of MFF modality was justified as it allowed an 8-year partnership between ADB and the government. A combination of interrelated physical and non-physical investments in a phased manner was backed by a clear strategy and policy framework. An MFF also had lower transaction costs and enhanced the possibility for a long-term partnership more than in a stand- alone project, and for relatively large investments as compared to a sector loan. More so, it had broader coverage than a program loan, which could only focus on policy reforms.3 4. Following the approval of tranche 1 in 2009 and tranche 2 in 2011, tranche 3 under the investment program was approved in December 2013 for $150 million. It aimed to improve the WSS infrastructure in Agjabedi and the peri-urban areas of Nakhchivan,4 benefiting over 70,000 residents. ADB prepared three project completion reports (PCRs), two tranche-specific PCRs and one PCR for the facility and tranche 3.5 The latter is the subject of this validation. Two PCRs for tranches 1 and 2 were validated separately.6 1 Government of Azerbaijan. 2008. State Program on Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2008–2015.

As stated in its design and monitoring framework (DMF) and the PCR, the investment program’s expected impact was improved public health and environment in participating towns. Its intended outcome was improved coverage, continuity and quality of water supply and wastewater disposal in participating towns. The outputs underpinning its outcome were in three components: WSS infrastructure development, institutional effectiveness, and establishment of a program management facility. Component 1 consisted of four parts involving rehabilitation, replacement and expansion. The first two parts dealt with piped-water supply systems, water works, and treatment facilities and sewerage networks. The third was concerned with developing and implementing a water quality monitoring system, while the fourth with constructing new wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Component 2 had six parts: (i) improving institutions for service delivery, (ii) developing capacity for better system planning, operation and maintenance, (iii) enhancing cost recovery through metering, billing and collecting tariffs, (iv) increasing efficiency for timely processing of effective WSS projects, (v) finalizing twinning arrangement with an external WSS utility to support capacity development, and (vi)

  • Azerbaijan 2018 Human Rights Report
    AZERBAIJAN 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Azerbaijani constitution provides for a republic with a presidential form of government. Legislative authority is vested in the Milli Mejlis (National Assembly). The presidency is the predominant branch of government, exceeding the judiciary and legislature. The election observation mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) concluded that the April 11 presidential election took place within a restrictive political environment and under a legal framework that curtailed fundamental rights and freedoms, which are prerequisites for genuine democratic elections. National Assembly elections in 2015 could not be fully assessed due to the absence of an OSCE election observation mission, but independent observers alleged numerous irregularities throughout the country. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Separatists, with Armenia’s support, continued to control most of Nagorno- Karabakh and seven surrounding Azerbaijani territories. The final status of Nagorno-Karabakh remained the subject of international mediation by the OSCE Minsk Group. Violence along the Line of Contact continued, although at lower levels starting in October, after the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders met in Dushanbe. Human rights issues included unlawful or arbitrary killing; torture; arbitrary detention; harsh and sometimes life-threatening prison conditions; political prisoners; criminalization of libel; physical attacks on journalists; arbitrary

  • Ecological Condition of Baku Atmosphere and Its Improvement Way, 45Th ISOCARP Congress 2009
    Shahla Kahramanova, Musaddin Namazov. Ecological condition of Baku atmosphere and its improvement way, 45th ISOCARP Congress 2009 Ecological condition of Baku atmosphere and its improvement way 1. Introduction Baku is one of the most polluted cities on our planet . In USSR period it was considered as one of the cities with the highest level of atmospheric contamination (Samedzadeh et al, 1982). Strong air pollution in Baku has noted been in recently carried out foreign researches and agencies data (fig.1.) (Kuliyev, 2004). Major factors of Baku air pollution are overflow of urban population, placing of 60-65 % of the country industry here, lacks of the city planning structures, use of outdated equipment and technologies in manufacturing, popping of superfluous gas on offshore and coastal fields, car exhaust, etc. For improvement of the city ecological situation and air purification it is necessary to provide a number of architecturally-planning and town-planning measures. Figure 1. Polluted hot spots in Caspian region 1 Shahla Kahramanova, Musaddin Namazov. Ecological condition of Baku atmosphere and its improvement way, 45th ISOCARP Congress 2009 2. Emission source of Baku atmosphere First of all atmospheric air pollution in Baku is connected with an overflow of urban population (fig.2), and also placing of 60-65 % of the country industry on Absheron peninsula, in particular Baku and Sumgait. Today according to official sources there are 3.5 million people in Baku. According to population census in 2007 nearby 8.5 million people live in Azerbaijan. In fact about 50 % of the country population and also other countries citizens who working in the foreign companies and have arrived with the various purposes lives in Baku.

Eldeniz Hajiyev and fellow Nursi reader Ismayil Mammadov were seized after an armed police raid on the meeting. Forum 18 was unable to reach anyone at the NSM secret police in Baku to find out where the men are being held and why. Nine others present were fined more than three months' average wages each. Fined the same day by the same court was a Shia Muslim theologian who had been teaching his faith in the same Baku district. Azerbaijan has tight government controls on exercising the right to freedom of religion or belief. Meetings for worship or religious education, or selling religious literature without state permission are banned and punishable. Four days after a 12 April armed police raid on Muslims studying the writings of the late Turkish Sunni Muslim theologian Said Nursi, the home owner Eldeniz Hajiyev and another person present Ismayil Mammadov are still being held incommunicado by the National Security Ministry (NSM) secret police, fellow Nursi readers told Forum 18 News Service from Azerbaijan's capital Baku.

    Economic Research Centre Strengthening Municipalities in Azerbaijan Concept Paper This paper has been prepared within the framework of Oxfam, GB and ICCO, Netherlands co-funded project “The Role of Local self-governments in Poverty reduction in Azerbaijan” Expert group members working on the concept: Research Team Leader: Rovshan Agayev: Other Team Members: Gubad Ibadoglu Azer Mehtiyev Aydin Aslanov Translated by: Elshad Mikayilov Baku 2007 1 INTRODUCTION Democratic political system, creation of effective public management and eradication of socio-economic recession are the major challenges facing most of the world countries. The analysis of experience across highly developed countries reveals that the road to democratic and economic prosperity is quite clear. The matter has more to deal with the rejection of authoritarian type of management both in political and economic realms, establishment of market oriented relations and liberal economic environment. Liberal political and economic system in the country first and foremost presupposes deeper decentralization along with the autonomous strong municipal institutions from the perspectives of administration and financial capacity. However, a number of transition countries do not have any precise policy or concept for decentralization. They seem to be conservative towards any other external efforts or initiatives with that respect. The situation is even more complicated by a higher level of corruption in public administration and high-rank public officials preponderantly pursuing their own

  • National Minorities in South Caucasus
    Dr. Ahmad Shahidov Azerbaijan Institute for Democracy and Human Rights (AIDHR) www.aidhr.org [email protected] +99450 372 87 30 NATIONAL MINORITIES IN SOUTH CAUCASUS Today, Azerbaijan is distinguished with ethnic diversity. Besides Azerbaijani Turks, Mountain Jews, Tats, Talysh, Kurds, Molokans, Ingiloys, Tsakhurs, Avars, Lezgins, Khynalygs, Buduqlus, Grysz and other ethnic groups live in its territory. Although the representatives of ethnic groups consider themselves as Azerbaijanis but each group has retained distinctive elements of their different culture. This culture is reflected in domestic life, crafts, in kitchen and various ceremonies. Despite the difficulties being experienced by Azerbaijan, due to the unresolved armed conflict that continues more than a decade with neighboring Armenia, which occupies 20 percent of the Azerbaijani territory and the presence of about one million refugees and forcibly displaced persons - victims of ethnic cleansing organized by the Armenian armed forces and terrorist groups, among whom in addition to Azerbaijanis there are persons belonging to various minorities (Kurds, Russians, Jews and others), as well as problems connected with transitional period, the Government of Azerbaijan continues to pursue a consistent policy towards protection of minorities rights. 1 National minorities constitute 9.4 % of the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Here is a structural composition of population, languages and places of compact living of persons belonging to national minorities of the Republic of Azerbaijan: Lezgins - 178 thousand, compactly live in the Northern regions of Azerbaijan. Language of communication is Lezgins, relating to the Daghestan branch of the Caucasian languages, as well as Azerbaijani and Russian languages. Russians - 141,7 thousand, compactly live in the industrial cities, as well as a number of rural regions.
