  • Improved availability, quality of basic local infrastructure services in participating small towns during project implementation period.

    DateOctober 31, 2006June 30, 2011June 30, 2011
    CommentUzgen experienced significant power shortages at the time of assessment which significantly affected water availability (hrs/day).The situation is reportedly improved as the power shortages have reduced.Sulyutka has water supply for 2 hrs/day before theprojectthey did not have regular access.Mailuu-Suu opted for sewerage system so no data on this indicator.
  • Improved availability, quality of basic local infrastructure services in participating small towns during project implementation period.%covered by MWC 2 times/monthValue(in%): Balykchi 49; Cholpon-Ata 64; Jalal-Abad 80;(in%): Balykchi 52; Cholpon-Ata 67; Jalal-Abad 85;(in%): Balykchi 65; Cholpon-Ata 75; Jalal-Abad 95;

    CommentThis indicator overlaps with "Number of people in urban areas provided with access to regular solid waste collection under theproject"This indicator shows uneven results on the solid waste improvement. However measurements were taken only over a period of fivemonths (January-May 2011) and without the input of the machinery distributed in June 2011. ARIS shall update the values by October2011 for the ICR.
  • Improved efficiency of utilities operating basic infrastructure services in participating small towns during project implementationperiod.Energy consumption cost as % of total cost in WSValue(in %): Cholpon-Ata 44; Jalal-Abd 30; Kant 30.6; K(in %): Cholpon-Ata 28; Jalal-Abd 22; Kant 32; Kar(in %): Cholpon-Ata 32; Jalal-Abd 25; Kant 25; Kar

    CommentData are from the PIAPs, and were collected regardless of physical investment in the system. ARIS will collect information onKara-Suu. Some towns show inconsistent trends of energy consumption, this may have multiple reasons which include, but are notlimited to, more intensive exploitation of the schemes and increased number of pumps.

    CommentData are from the PIAPs, and were collected regardless of physical investment in the system. some towns show inconsistent trendsofrevenue/cost ratio, this may have multiple reasons which include, but are not limited to, more intensive exploitation of theschemes, increased number of pumps and lag in adjusting tariffs.No data available for Batkent, Kara-Kul, Kochkor-Ata and Isfana because no work was done for water supply
  • Higher satisfaction of the population with basic infrastructure services in participating small towns during the project implementation period.Decrease in % of households reporting poor W qualityValue(in %): Balykchi 7; Cholpon-Ata 43; Kant 11; Kara-(in %): Balykchi 4; Cholpon-Ata 37; Kant 6; Kara-S(in %): Balykchi 5; Cholpon-Ata 30; Kant 5; Kara-S
    DateOctober 31, 2006June 30, 2011June 30, 2011
    CommentThe data is from the impact assessment carried out in 2010-2011. In Cholpon-Ata, the share of people reporting poor water qualitynearly halved between 2010 and 2011, after the filters financed by the project were put in operation; average reported waterquality also improved. There were no WS activities in Mailuu-Suu. In Talas, there was a significant improvement of water qualityreported byusers of individual stand pumps (increase of about 25%).
