Three Hydroelectric Power Stations Rehabilitation Project The original loan amount was US$ 5.00 million. As requested by the Government in December 2003, the loan amount has been reduced to US$ 3.00 million. Project cost has not been modified and the OPEC Fund share is to be covered by additional financing to be provided by BADEA.

Project Description:

The proposed project consists of the rehabilitation and modernisation of three hydroelectric plants Mukungwa Plant, Gihira Plant and Gisenyi Plant. 
The three small sized hydropower plants consist of a concrete dam, above ground power house, switch yards, and ancillary facilities. All stations are equipped with transformer units to transfer the produced electricity to the national electric grid.

1) Mukungwa Plant: The construction of the plant was financed by the Fund with other donors in 1977, and started operations in 1982. Mukungwa is located next to the city of Ruhengeri. It consists of a concrete dam built on Ruhondo, providing a live storage capacity of 192 million m�. The powerhouse is equipped with 2X6 MW units producing about 48 GWh/year. It is estimated that in the present conditions, production is 10% lower due to the deteriorated conditions of the dam and the degraded technical conditions of the equipment.

2) Gihira Power Station: is a run-of-river hydropower plant located on the Sebeya river on the hills above the city of Gisenyi. The plant has been operating since 1985 and produces 10GWh with an installed capacity of 2X0.9 MW. It is presently operating at a third of its capacity due to the negative effects of flooding, erosion and equipment wearout.

3) Gisenyi power station: is located on Lake Kivu and powered by the Sebeya river. This is the oldest plant in Rwanda (1969) and has an installed capacity of 1.2. MW (producing 8.4 GWh). Three hydraulic structures require overhaul due to the sand content of the Sebeya River.

1) Civil works:

Repair works to the dams as well as to the connecting canals will be executed. In order to minimize the environmental degradation due to sedimentation, river flow regulatory works will be undertaken, where necessary. 

The main buildings of the three plants require adequate insulation against rain, and flood protection. Other works will include wall repairs and existing roofs will be replaced. Painting, door and window installation as well as repairs to sanitary installation has been foreseen. Ancillary facilities, such as access ways, workshops and security devices have also been included.

2) Equipment:

The existing hydromechanical, hydroelectric and electric equipment will be repaired and upgraded to improve the functionality of the plants. Measuring instruments will be replaced. 

3) Project Design and Supervision:

Consultancy services will be required for the preparation of detailed engineering design and tender documents. The consultant will assist the Executing Agency in the selection of the contractor for civil works and supply of equipment and will ensure the supervision and control of works.

Koudougou University Expansion Project The University of Koudougou (UoK) is divided into five faculties:1) Faculty of Higher Education, 2) Faculty of Economics and Management, 3) Faculty of Arts and Letters , 4) University Institute of Technology, 5)  Science and Technology Training and Research unit (UFR/ST) as its core faculties. Among them, only the students enrolled in the Science and Technology Training and Research unit (UFR/ST) do not have dedicated infrastructure to attend their respective courses and trainings. This contributes to recurrent classroom management issues within the university as students have to share the available free classrooms with other faculties. 

Moreover, as the university campus does not own or manage any dormitory, the government is facing huge difficulties to respond to student rental problem. University students presently compelled to be housed with other students in flats in Koudougou or in the suburbs under crowded conditions. The substantial increase in the number of new admitted students each year reached about 5,000, who enrol for the first time in UoK and represents a huge challenge for the University to accommodate them. There are about 1,600 new lodgement demands per year.


As a response to the challenges facing the UoK, the government decided to expand the social infrastructure. Hence, in April 2017, the government requested OFID to contribute to the financing of the expansion of the university campus consisting of the construction and the equipment of new facilities including: a) Dormitories, b) Science and Technology Training and Academic Research Unit.

Social Fund for Development (Phase II) The project supports the efforts of the Government to increase the income of the country�s rural population by promoting economically viable and environmentally sustainable economic activities, and reducing unemployment through the creation of job opportunities and the stimulation of self-employment. OFID will provide a loan in the amount of USD 40 million to SFD through the Government of Egypt. SFD will channel the loan amount via three different methods: 1) Direct Lending to end beneficiaries in the form of small loans; or 2) through NGOs and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) for onward lending to end beneficiaries; or 3) through local Banks for onward lending to end beneficiaries. 

SFD lends to banks/NGOs in local currency at the interest rate of 7.0% � 10.5%; those interest rates include operational and administrative costs, foreign exchange risk and inflation rate. Loans provided to the end clients have a maximum interest rate ceiling of 16%. The proposed loan will finance two main components: Credit to Small Enterprises (SEs) and Microfinance.

SFD services cover the entire country targeting female headed houses, active poor families, entrepreneurs, university graduates and small farmers. SFD has an extensive outreach network that includes 31 regional offices covering all the 27 governorates in Egypt.
Environmentally Sound Management of Medical Wastes in India A detailed situation analysis was carried out during the project preparatory phase in 5 selected states in India namely Gujarat, Kar nataka, Maharashtra, Punjab and Orissa covering medical waste management in healthcare facilities (HCFs) and Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facilities (CBWTFs). In the situation analysis carried out among 57 CBWTFs, which is 40% of total CBWTFs in the country, the amount of PCDD/F emission was estimated to be 105.44 g I-TEQ/y using the UNEP Toolkit. If the same is extrapolated to the country, it will be 263.6 g I-TEQ/y PCDD/F releases. By proper segregation and either by applying non-incineration techniques or upgrading existing incinerators in the 57 CBWTFs, 50.7 g I-TEQ/y PCDD/F reduction can be achieved. Extrapolating this to the whole country, 126.75 g I-TEQ/y PCDD/F reduction can be achieved.  Based on the above figures of the survey and with the successful implementation of the project, the estimated cost of avoided PCDD/F emissions would be US$ 7.6 million per year in 5 selected states, indicating high cost effectiveness of the project. The proposed project will promote country-wide adoption of best available techniques/best environmental practices (BAT/BEP) in healthcare institutions of widely differing in their complexity and size, as well as in the evolving medical wa
