THE ONGOING PROJECT 1. The Board of Directors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved the multitranche financing facility (MFF) for the Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program on 25 October 2012. 1 The investment program will finance a portion of government initiatives to improve water and wastewater management services in Greater Colombo.2 It will rehabilitate and expand water supply and wastewater management infrastructure. In order for investments in physical infrastructure to be effective and sustainable, the investment program will assist the government in introducing institutional reforms in the water and wastewater subsectors, particularly in Greater Colombo.3 2. The Investment program is estimated to cost $400 million. Up to $300 million equivalent, or 75% of the total cost, will be provided through the MFF from ADB’s Special Funds resources and ordinary capital resources. The MFF is sequenced as follows: (i) tranche 1: $84 million for project 1 in 2012; (ii) tranche 2: $88 million for project 2 in 2013; (iii) tranche 3: $90 million for project 3 in 2015; and (iv) tranche 4: $38 million for project 4 in 2016. Projects 1 and 2 will focus on reducing nonrevenue water (NRW) and improving water service efficiency in Colombo city. 4 Project 1 was approved by the President on 22 November 2012, and the loan for project 1 became effective on 25 September 2013. Project 2 was approved by the President on 26 September 2013. The implementation of project 1 is on track. The loan agreement for project 2 will be signed soon. II. THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING A. Rationale 3. The government has requested the scope of work under project 2 be expanded from rehabilitation of the water distribution system in Colombo city to include expanding the water supply to TEC and rehabilitating the pumping station in Ambathale. Agence Française de Développement (AFD) cofinancing will be used for this expansion. The MFF modality was selected to allow phased implementation and funding of individual projects when they are ready, subject to eligibility and readiness of subprojects included in the investment program. The MFF will offer the opportunity for cofinancing and private sector participation. The proposed additional cofinancing from AFD is mobilized in accordance with the approved MFF. The AFD cofinancing is proposed to finance two subprojects: (i) expansion of water supply coverage in towns east of Colombo (TEC), using water saved from NRW reductions under projects 1 and 2 in Colombo city; and (ii) reorganization of the current pumping and transmission arrangements of Colombo city to save energy in the 1 ADB. 2012. Report and Recommendation of the President to the Board of Directors: Proposed Multitranche Financing Facility to the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka for the Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program. Manila. 2 Greater Colombo comprises 15 local authorities: five municipal councils (Colombo, Dehiwela–Mount Lavinia, and Sri Jayawardenepura–Kotte, Kaduwela, and Moratuwa), five urban councils, and five pradeshiya sabhas (smallest political units in peri-urban or rural areas). It has a population of more than 838,000 and a “floating” (transient) population of more than 500,000. 3 ADB. 2011.

Supplementary TA was provided in 2012. 4 Nonrevenue water (NRW) is the gap between the amount of water put into the distribution system and the amount of water for which customers are actually billed. 2 water supply system. AFD cofinancing will further strengthen the impact and outcome of proved project 2 under the MFF. 4. The proposed AFD-cofinanced subprojects are part of the government’s investment plan that envisions investments of $1,500 million for water and sanitation sector in Greater Colombo in 2010–2020. 5. AFD is a key development partner in the country and in the water sector in 2010– 2012. The AFD cofinancing is consistent with the priority assigned by ADB and the government to the water supply and other municipal infrastructure and services sector, as identified in the country partnership strategy.5 B. Impact, Outcome, and Outputs 6. The impact of the investment program will be an improved urban environment and quality of life for the residents of Greater Colombo. The outcome of the investment program will be improved water supply and wastewater service and management in Greater Colombo. 7. The impact of project 2 will be improved water supply and wastewater service and management in Greater Colombo.6 The expected outcome of project 2 will be improved system efficiency and financial sustainability of water supply and wastewater services in Greater Colombo. With AFD cofinancing, the impact and outcome of the project 2 remains the same with approved project 2, but two additional indicators will be used to measure the outcome of the intervention and monitor project outcome: (i) the number of households that
