| Abstract: Loan Name: Issyk-Kul Sustainable Development Project Country: Kyrgyz Republic Loan Number: 2556 Project Number: 41548-01 Fund Source/Amount[Approved]: Asian Development Fund US16,50 million Thematic Classification: - Environmental Sustainability - Economic growth - Private Sector Development Project Rationale: Issyk-Kul [warm lake in Kyrgyz] is the world s second largest saline lake, a Ramsar site of globally significant biodiversity and a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO] designated Biosphere Reserve. The lake forms a significant part of the Issyk-Kul Oblast area, and contributes to the economic growth by providing tourism opportunities. Attracting approximately 1 million tourists annually, equivalent to 70% of the country s annual tourist, the lake is a major economic driver in the region. The supply response to the increased tourism demand is notable, with active construction, big and small resorts sprawling around the lake. However, the available water and sanitation infrastructure [water, sewerage, solid waste and roads] in the region is decrepit, dysfunctional and poorly managed. Consequently, the current tourist influx equivalent to four times the resident population applies excessive pressure on the existing infrastructure, which is partially responsible for polluting the lake. Environment sustainability in the country development strategy [CDS] for the period 2007-2010 emphasizes on the need for protecting Issyk-Kul. Consequently, the Issyk-Kul Sustainable Development Project was included in the Joint Country Support Strategy [2007-2010]. In February 2009, the "Concept of Sustainable Development of the Ecological and Economic System of Issyk-Kul [the Concept]" was passed through a Presidential Decree. The Concept focuses on improving the environmental quality in Issyk-Kul through investments in sanitation and waste management systeMs Action plans were approved through a Government Resolution in May 2009 prioritizing implementation of the Issyk-Kul Sustainable Development Project. ADB-led investment and policy dialogue in the region will improve the quality of urban services in the region, foster tourist growth and preserve the lake's environment. The assessment of institutional and legal arrangements, and municipal finances in Issyk-Kul provide a suitable platform for developing ADB's urban services sector development strategy for the Kyrgyz Republic. Development of performance-based service contracts will also improve the opportunities for public-private partnerships in the water and sanitation sector Impact: The Project is expected to increase the economic growth potentials in the Issyk-Kul oblast and improve environmental preservation activities in the Issyk-Kul Basin Outcome: The outcome of the Project is improved urban basic services in the cities of Balykchy, Cholpon-Ata and Karakol, and improved quality of life for resident and tourist population in the Issyk-Kul Basin.
