The EBRD is supporting the Batken Water Sub-Project. The EBRD would extend a sovereign loan of up to €1.5 million to the Kyrgyz Republic, to be transferred to Batken City for the benefit of the Batken Water Company for improvement of water supply and selected wastewater services. The EBRD will also seek an investment grant from an international or bilateral donor of €2.5 million to co-finance implementation of the sub-project which will address water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation needs. This support will be extended under the existing EBRD sovereign framework of up to €20 million, established by the Bank to co-finance with international donors priority water and wastewater rehabilitation sub-projects across the Kyrgyz Republic. The framework envisages sovereign loans that would be transferred to the cities for the benefit of the water companies involved and would focus on urgently needed water and wastewater infrastructure investments. The overall objectives of this sub-project are to: (a) rehabilitate the water supply and selected wastewater improvements; and (b) improve financial and operational management.
