Third Economic Competitiveness Adjustment Loan Project Development Objective (Note: will be disclosed in the MOS)  Economic competitiveness loan focused on:  insurance reform;  financial sector;  telecommunications /information technology services liberalization; and business environment reform. Board Schedule Comments 6/13/01.  The Borad date has slip ped from 10/2/01 to 11/29/01 .  The reason is that a post-appraisal  mission will be required in September to finalize some unresolved issues (outlined in the AM of the appraisal mission) and come to final agreements on policy conditionality. 9/28/01.  A joint WB/EC/ AfDB post-appraisal mission took place September 10-211, 2001.  The  mission completed the technical appraisal of the program and also agreed with the counterparts on strengthening certain key components of the program.  However, some issues are yet to be agreed upon by negotiations: The PHRD finances four studies in preparation of ECAL3.  The consultants have been selected for only two of these studies: the study of financial market development and strengthening of the capacity of the Financial Markets Board.  But even these two studies will at best begin in September.  The TOR for the debt management study h as been agreed upon and the consultant selection process will begin in August.  The TOR for the investment pr omotion study is yet to be finalized.  It is therefore highly unlikely that these studies could be completed before October 31, the closing date for the PHRD grant, or the effectiveness date.  Given that the action pla ns satisfactory to the Bank, as outcome of these studies are measures of second tranche, the team therefore p roposes that, on an exceptional basis, the PHRD is extended by a year.

Health Insurance Strategy for the Poor Support Project The main objective of the proposed project is to assist the GOE to extend health  coverage to targeted low-income groups who otherwise have no access to health c are with the goal of reducing infant, child and maternal mortality, as well as r educing the level of health inequalities between provinces and income quintiles.   The APL would finance the implementation of PROAUS, extending health insurance  coverage to individuals in income quintiles 1 and 2 over a period of 8 years or  less.  In the first phase of the APL, PROAUS coverage would be initially extend ed to 860,000 individuals in income quintiles 1 and 2 living in the municipaliti es of Quito and Guayaquil, as well as those living in Canton Santa Elena and fro m the provinces of Tunguragua, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo and Bolivar.  By the end of the implementation of APL1, 1.4 million people would be covered and served by PR OAUS.  Extending coverage should be accompanied by an 8 percent reduction in IMR  and U5MR, and by 12 percent in MMR in enrolled populations in project provinces  and municipalities, as well as 5 percent reductions in the ratios of IMR, U5MR and MMR between 1-2 and 4-5 income quintiles. The project would contribute subst antially to EcuadorÃ¢Â€Â™s ability to meet the MDGs for health by 2015.  The project should also meet a secondary but similarly important objective of ch anging the operational culture of the health care systems. The implementation of  this project should provide a new incentive framework through new payment arran gements and a more market-driven approach to the contracting of services by the AUS Corporation, promoting operational effectiveness, quality improvements and e fficiency.  The project should also set the correct incentives for enrollment, m onitoring and actual delivery of services.  By the end of APL Phase 1, contracts  including this new incentive framework would be signed with the municipalities of Quito and Guayaquil, and with providers in at least 4 provinces.  Further, th e project should also contribute to the process of decentralization in the healt h sector by transferring responsibility to contract services from the MOH to the  AUS Corporation and to selected municipalities.   Lastly, the project should contribute to strengthening the monitoring, evaluatio n and audit network of PROAUS.  This would include the strengthening of the Heal th Management Information Network for both the AUS Corporation and its providers , as well as supporting external financial and technical audit.
Dhaka Environment and Water Project (DEW) The objectives are to: (a) reduce the social and economic costs of environmental degradation of rivers in Dhaka and (b) develop a programmatic approach to water resources and environmental management in the Dhaka metropolitan area for strategic long-term activities and investments.  Dhaka Metropolitan Area (DMA)water resources need to be managed and developed more effectively in order to cope with demands generated by population increase and economic growth. Water quality and quantity management is a key issue in achieving poverty reduction in Bangladesh and meeting the MGDs. The project would engage authorities dealing with the management of Dhaka environment and water resources in a comprehensive effort to avert urban environmental degradation by providing technical and financial support for invetsment in capacity building and low cost treatment of industrial effluents. One key issue to address is pollution, especially of the rivers in and around Dhaka and to link the quality and quantity of the water resources to water supply and environmental services provision in the DMA. For this an "urban watershed" approach would be developed and activities and investments could be prioritized within a strategic framework to address the water resources situation, reduce pollution from land based sources and mitigate health hazards to DMA. Proposed Project Objective 1. Reduce the social and economic costs of environmental degradation of rivers in Dhaka through improved management of land and quality of rivers, better institutional coordination and community involvement, enhanced pollution control and sustainable investments in low cost treatment and clean up measures. 2. Develop a programmatic approach to water resources and environmental management in the DMA for strategic long-term activities and investments.
