PART I- INTRODUCTION
1. Since 2004, the European Union (EU) has supported the Government of Afghanistan
(GoIRA) in its reconstruction efforts by funding integrated water management programs in
the Panj Amu river basin.
2. The current Project continues this EU support in partnership with ADB as co-financier and
administrator. This will improve GoIRA ownership of fund management, increasing
sustainability and conforming to EU policy in Afghanistan of moving funding on-budget or
into co-financing arrangements.
3. The importance of the Project is in its impact on the well-being of rural communities in the
basin, and in its support for GoIRA’s sector investment plan, the $1.1 billion National Water
and Natural Resources Development Program.
4. The proposed project will increase agricultural productivity in the Panj-Amu River Basin
through improving access and use of irrigated water at farm, scheme and river levels. The
project will improve yields, cropping intensities and irrigated areas on a command area of
74,500ha, resulting in increased farm incomes and reduced rural poverty for over 400,000
beneficiaries, improved food security, import substitution, especially for wheat, and an
increase in exports for high-value products such as fruit and nuts. Additional benefits include
a reduction in conflict over water use, and an increase in sales of agricultural inputs such as
fertilizers.
5. The Project will be financed through an ADB sector grant. It will be implemented over the
seven-year period from late 2016 to late 2023, at an estimated cost of $76.75 million ($50
million in EU funds, $26 million in ADB funds and $0.75m in government counterpart funds).
6. The Project proponents are the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA),
ADB, and the EU. The Project Executing Agency (EA) is the Ministry of Finance (MOF). The
Implementing Agencies (IAs) are Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) and Ministry of
Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL). MEW will be involved in Output 1. MAIL will be
involved in in Outputs 2 and 3.

TEAM
19. The project proposal stipulated that the PMO, under MEW was to be fully staffed and
established by the commencement of the project. Similarly, Project Implementation Offices
(PIOs) were to be established in Kunduz and Taloqan provinces to manage and facilitate
project implementation.
20. The Executing Agency for the Project is the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the
Implementation Agency is Ministry of Energy and Water. MEW is responsible to oversee the
implementation of Output 1 through the existing WRDIP PMO in Kabul in the MEW main
office.
21. This PMO is part of an overall ADB PMO responsible for all ADB projects and programs
implemented by the Ministry. Also, for implementation of Output 1 a PIO for basin-level
activities in the river basin agency (RBA) in Kunduz and Taloqan, embedded within the RBA
office to avoid setting up a parallel structure and to strengthen government institutional
capacity.
22. With respect to the Project Management, PMO and PIOs of MEW have been established
and staffed as shown in the chart 1 and 2.

color of water muddy along canal rehabilitation, replantation of trees and compensation to
tree owners were discussed and proper action taken.
1.5. Stakeholders
27. Since stakeholders are a key issue for project design, construction, operation, maintenance,
and decommissioning, the management body of P-ARBP project always would want to
make sure all stakeholders are involved and actively engaged in the decision making
process of projects so that anyone involved in the project is aware of the full range of issues,
and they appreciate the views of all stakeholders. In particular, any issue falling under
environmental features is discussed with the relevant stakeholders.
PART II - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
28. During the reporting period, environmental compliance remained satisfactory as major
issues were properly considered and managed. Other issues were handled according to
guidelines provided in SSEMP.
29. Monitoring of construction site conducted normally by the PIO engineer during the period.
30. No adverse environmental impacts related to the implemented activities were noted or
observed within the reporting period.
31. All construction has been carried out within the land boundaries and no claims have been
raised by people in the subproject area.
32. No hazardous materials, which would require special handling, were found among the
waste. Therefore, all non-hazardous waste was removed from site and Camp area safely.
The waste materials were stored at places away from property boundary, from residences,
and water supply sources. All garbage carried away from the residential place and dump it
in the landfill.
33. The Contractor kept records of safety; environmental considerations of the construction
sites; air quality and noise; within the reporting period, no adverse environmental impacts
related to the works have been noted or observed.
2.2.1 Water Quality
34. River water quality remained safer as no water harmful activity was taken place during this
construction period, except the color of water that was muddy due to seasonal rain and

earth work in some canals. The water is directed to temporary irrigation canal and utmost
care was taken by the Contractor to prevent polluting of the river water from any oil spillage
and other waste.
2.2.2 Noise and Vibration
35. The Contractor took all necessary precautions to minimize the amount of noise and
vibrations coming from construction activities. All plant and equipment is properly maintained
in good operating condition, and that noisy construction activities effectively sound-reduced
by covering the room to avoid disturbance to any nearby noise sensitive receivers as
subproject is include the small structures, therefore most of the work is done by hand.
2.2.3 Ambient air quality
36. Based on the daily visual observation during the period emissions rates from construction
work were acceptable. Dust is controlled by watering the area regularly; and also the access
road, which is used for transportation always were watering by contractor to avoid dust
emission.
37. In addition, the area has been frequently inspected for any public complaints in particular the
farmers in adjacent to the project site to find out if any farming area has been affected by
dust generated by vehicles movements, but no evidence was seen nor had the contractor
recorded any complaints.
2.2.4 Flora and Fauna
38. During the reporting period a number of trees cut in different construction sites are listed in
