Central Asia Energy Water Development Program PROMOTING PATHWAYS TO ENERGY AND WATER SECURITY 2009-2017 IMPACT REPORT FOREWORD Central Asia presents a diverse geographic landscape which perpetually has been at the crossroads of transport and trade; historically, the Silk Road, today, it is a key to connectivity along the Eurasian Belt-and-Road Initiative. The region’s wealth of water and energy resources equally create physical interlinkages between the countries that necessitate coordination in the sustainable and equitable management of these resources. To this end, the World Bank and its development partners have established the Central Asia Energy- Water Development Program (CAEWDP) to support countries in their efforts to achieve energy and water security. The World Bank recognizes that “regional programs offer substantial potential to achieve results on development issues [….] Regional projects have successfully built new assets and protected existing ones in ways expected to benefit all participating countries.” (World Bank Independent Evaluation Group). Enhanced collaboration at the national and regional levels provide the Central Asian countries with the necessary information, capacity and resources to catalyze socio-economic development, poverty reduction, and climate resilience. In this spirit, the Program has been engaged in strengthening an enabling environment to promote energy and water security by supporting national and regional initiatives together with development partners since 2009. Activities have focused on connecting governments, practitioners and youth with technological innovations and solutions to overcome legacy resource management challenges and aging infrastructure. The Program has and continues to deliver substantial technical expertise, analytics, and diagnostics to enhance knowledge for informed decision-making to leverage smart investments, while also creating the space for collaboration through transparent information platforms and dialogue on energy and water security matters. 1 CAEWDP has established several important building-blocks and honed credible pathways for significant development impacts. As the program is about to embark on a third funding phase starting 2018, this report provides a stocktaking of CAEWDP results and impacts to date. Cyril E.

INTRODUCTION 4 REGIONAL WATER AND ENERGY NEXUS In Central Asia, water and energy systems are inextricably intertwined (Fig. 1 and 2). Nature determines the hydrologic interlinkages: multiple transboundary rivers, including the Amu and Syr Darya of the Aral Sea basin, connect the territories of the Central Asian republics. Energy interdependence is man-made: the newly independent states inherited the remains of an intricate energy-for-water trading scheme which supplied electricity generated from the downstream fossil energy riches to the upstream countries during the cold winter season, so that the latter would store water for summer-irrigation needs in their reservoirs. With the collapse of the Soviet Union a unitary system became transboundary overnight. The re-established national borders continue to pose significant challenges to optimize asset operation and for national and regional water and energy resources management. CAEWDP was established to help the countries with these nexus challenges.

CAEWDP OBJECTIVE AND PROGRAMMATIC APPROACH 6 2.1 PROGRAM STRUCTURE CAEWDP OBJECTIVE The Central Asia Energy and Water Development Program (CAEWDP) is a partnership between the World Bank, the European Commission, Switzerland (through SECO), the CAEWDP seeks to United Kingdom (through DFID), and the United States (through USAID) to address the strengthen the enabling challenges of cross-border system interlinkages and national and regional energy and water environment to promote resources management. energy and water security at regional level and in the Structured along three themes: (1) energy development; (2) energy-water linkages; and (3) beneficiary countries. water productivity the program pursued three outcome areas since its inception in 2009: (a) investment preparation; (b) regional institutions; (c) diagnostics and analysis (Fig. 3). FIGURE 3.

These priorities are framed by the “3-I”s – information, institutions, and investments (Fig 4.). CAEWDP promotes an enabling environment for water and energy security through generation of knowledge, strengthening of capacity and dialogue processes, and identification of investments. From inception, the program broadened its engagement progressively from diagnostic analyses and information to increasingly strengthening institutions and to catalyzing investments. 2.3 HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS CAEWDP’s support catalyzed complex regional investments, such as the Central Asia Hydromet Modernization Project (CAHMP), the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation for the Aral Sea Basin Project (CAMP4ASB) and the Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade Project (CASA-1000). Analytical work at the national level supported policy reforms and institutional strengthening, such as for Tajikistan’s energy sector. Transparent dialogue processes provided opportunities for inclusive engagement of stakeholders and open exchange of opinions among beneficiary countries and development partners, most notably during the six-country consultations on the Rogun Assessment Studies.1 These examples represent only a selection of the outputs from the program’s technical assistance activities and investment projects. Further achievements and regional impact of the program to date are presented in the following sections. 9 1 http://www.worldbank.org/en/region/eca/brief/rogun-assessment-studies CHAPTER 3. PROGRAM IMPACT 10 3.1 PROMOTING ENERGY SECURITY TRADE DISRUPTIONS, AGEING INFRASTRUCTURE AND ELECTRICITY SHORTAGES The disruption of the centralized Soviet energy trade system had severe impact on electricity supply as well as on power trade and revenue generation. Energy security—an essential component of economic growth—is a critical issue that Central Asian countries need to address at national and regional levels. Failure to do so will continue to hinder economic growth and negatively impact livelihoods and standards of living. CAEWDP approached energy security challenges in Central Asia three dimensionally: inter-regionally, intra-regionally, and nationally. FACILITATING INTER- AND INTRA-REGIONAL ELECTRICITY TRADE Considering Central Asia’s abundant hydropower potential and surplus production possibilities during the summer months, CAEWDP facilitates the preparation for viable inter-regional energy trade through the CASA-1000 Project. CASA-1000 is designed to export hydropower from the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan to Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is expected to generate revenue in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan—the two poorest countries in Central Asia— and increase the energy security of their South Asian neighbors. CAEWDP provides support to the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan financing technical expertise and facilitation of meetings and negotiations of project related agreements as well as preparation of country-specific Environmental and Social Impact Assessments. In 2015, this facilitated the approval of several legal and commercial accords for CASA-1000, which marked a fundamental step forward towards proceeding in infrastructure development. Within the region, CAEWDP informs decision making on the revitalization of the 11 Central Asian Power System (CAPS) to realize the benefits of energy trade. The Enhancing Regional Power Trade in Central Asia2 study estimates benefits lost to the countries of Central Asia3 due to the underutilized significant potential of regional power trade during 2010-2014 at about US$ 6.4 billion (Fig. 5). CAEWDP remains committed to facilitate investment preparation to revitalize the intra-regional power trade once the stakeholders achieve agreement. FIGURE 5.

ADDRESSING WINTER ENERGY SHORTAGES AND STRENGTHENING NATIONAL SECTOR PERFORMANCE 12 Focusing on alleviating winter electricity supply shortages and improving living conditions, CAEWDP helped identify solutions to heating efficiency improvements and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure in upstream countries. Pilot activities and analytical assessments financed by CAEWDP informed the US$ 46 million the Kyrgyz Republic: Heat Supply Improvement Project. This project is expected to benefit 215,000 residents in the Kyrgyz Republic through installation of 1.8 kilometers of district heating pipelines, 1,931 substations, 4,020 hot water meters, and provisioning of 14,000 heating stoves for poor households. In Tajikistan, CAEWDP support resulted in the US$ 350 million Nurek Hydro Power Plant (HPP) rehabilitation project. The much-needed rehabilitation is expected to increase the HPP’s generation capacity from 2,320 MW to 2,725 MW, extend its operational-life and significantly improve safety at the currently second tallest dam in the world (300-meters). Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan expressed their intent to modernize and develop their economies by 2030 through their energy sectors. CAEWDP assisted the governments in the preparation of long-term energy sector development plans with diagnostic and analysis, recommendations, and capacity building training. LEVERAGING LARGE-SCALE INVESTMENTS THROUGH CATALYTIC FINANCING CAEWDP contributions of approximately US$ 3.7 million to promoting energy security have leveraged partner financing and investment projects with a value of more than US$ 1.5 billion. In the next funding phase CAEWDP will continue its support to facilitating investments, including in renewable energies, to help the Central Asian countries along their pathways to sustained energy security.

The expansive semi-arid steppe receives little to no rainfall, while the upstream mountainous areas receive plenty. Given the hydrologic variability and uneven distribution of the resource, rural, urban and industrial development is dependent on adequate flow management along the rivers that connect Central Asian countries. At the same time, national governments struggle to rehabilitate ageing irrigation, drainage and water supply infrastructure (e.g. 50 percent of irrigated lands are affected by salinization and waterlogging because of poor irrigation and drainage systems). Looking ahead, population growth and the need for increased agricultural production will continue to strain the region’s water resources. CAEWDP works with governments to explore solutions and integrate best practices that foster water security (Fig. 7). FIGURE 7. EXPLORING PATHWAYS TO WATER SECURITY WATER USE EFFICIENCY.

At the High Level Symposium on SDG 6 and Targets: Ensuring that No One is Left Behind in Access to Water and Sanitation hosted by the Government of Tajikistan on August 9-11, 2016 in Dushanbe, CAEWDP organized a Thematic Session on Increasing Water Use Efficiency bringing the World Bank’s global experience. The session discussed the challenges as well as solutions from Vietnam, Mexico, the Philippines and the Nile Basin to effectively implement Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.4 to “substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity, and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity.” IDENTIFYING SOLUTIONS FOR INCREASED ENERGY AND WATER PRODUCTIVITY IN AGRICULTURE CAEWDP serves as a platform to link national water management to the regional energy-water nexus. The Program informs policy decisions of the Central Asian governments through diagnostic analysis and investment recommendations. The assessment on the Costs of Irrigation Inefficiency in Tajikistan demonstrated the high opportunity costs of pumped irrigation; recommended improvements could generate up to US$ 15.11 million in power trade revenue annually in the context of CASA-1000. The interest of Kazakhstan to conduct a similar study through a Reimbursable 15 Advisory Services (RAS) initiative created opportunities for cross- learning and knowledge exchange. Nationally, CAEWDP helps governments to identify alternatives for optimization of agricultural water use. Diagnostic activities performed by CAEWDP for the governments of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan assessed irrigation inefficiency within the countries by examining water management, irrigation methods, and pumped irrigation schemes. The knowledge generated on efficient water allocation and use, better crop cultivation, and stakeholder relationship building from these activities informs decision making on national policies and legal frameworks, such as the Water Code in Uzbekistan, currently being discussed in the national parliament. ANALYZING EFFECTIVENESS OF SERVICE PROVISION The ultimate beneficiaries of water security investments are at the household level. With a view to addressing public health risks and improving living conditions in the region, CAEWDP financed diagnostic analyses of water supply and sanitation (WSS) services in various countries. Recommendations coming out of these studies contribute to national WSS programs and inform government decision-making. Within this context, the World Bank is currently working with the Governments of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to prepare investments in WSS institutions and infrastructure. 3.3 ADDRESSING CLIMATE RISKS ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND MELTING GLACIERS Climate change challenges are closely interwoven with the issues of water availability and energy security with significant risks to livelihoods in Central Asia. The World Bank report Turn Down the Heat: Confronting the New Climate Normal, co-financed by CAEWDP, predicts more intense warming in Central Asia than the global average in a 4°C warmer world. Impacts will be felt in all sectors vital to economic growth and development in the region. The region’s glaciers, accounting for 10 percent of the annual stream flow in the Amu Darya and Syr Darya basins, have already shrunk by one-third in volume since the beginning of the 20th century. Climate change is projected to lead to more severe and prolonged droughts and increased incidents of flooding. Costs of weather-related disasters already account for 1 percent of GDP per year in Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic. Adaptation will be a requirement rather than an option for the region. INFORMING HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT PLANS Analysis deepened the understanding of climate change impacts on future hydropower potential and the region’s water and energy resources. The CAEWDP financed Assessment of the Role of Glaciers in Stream Flow from the Pamir and Tien Shan mountains analyzes the role of glaciers in Amu Darya and Syr Darya stream flows and assess the potential impacts of various climate change scenarios. This study provided important information on future availability of water resources for hydropower production during the CASA-1000 negotiations. The Turn Down the Heat: Confronting the New Climate Normal report has been globally disseminated. It exposes alarming scenarios of climate impacts in a +4-degree world, urging 16 the global community to undertake proactive actions to meet world carbon reduction goals. CATALYZING REGIONAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMS CAEWDP expanded the scope of the water-energy nexus integrating climate resilience aspects, in line with the 3-I’s approach. Two high-profile Climate Knowledge Forums, which took place in 2013 and 2014, led to the first investment program for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation in the Aral Sea Basin (CAMP4ASB). Involving a wide range of stakeholders at all levels, this program promotes the modernization of climate knowledge services and establishes a platform for climate resilience investments. More than 215 sub- loans in Tajikistan and 4 credits in Uzbekistan are currently being implemented with direct involvement of civil society. The Central Asia Hydrometeorology Modernization Project (CAHMP), prepared with CAEWDP support, aims at improving the accuracy and timeliness of hydromet services for improved early warning, weather forecasting, and climate change assessments. It represents a significant investment in technological upgrades and the region’s human capital. Activities support south-south learning exchanges, and training courses on emergency situations, involving both immediate-responders and civil servants from the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

The lack of resources contributes to the unreliability of data exchange and increasing capacity gaps within institutions. This negatively affects the enabling environment for effective regional water and energy resources management and coordination. At the same time, there are windows of opportunity to harness the knowledge of the current water managers and the eagerness of young professional to embrace new technologies and innovations. (Fig. 9) FIGURE 9: CAEWDP PATHWAYS TO ADDRESSING ENERGY-WATER LINKAGES 2010-2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018-2020 Workshop Road Map Implementation of the Knowledge Platform (Active) Investments National Strengthening Strengthening in Water Consultations Analysis Analysis Information (EWL) TA for Developing WIS in CA (Active) 18 IWRM IWRM Systems (WIS) Central Asia Water Future Forum & Expo Assessment of the role of glaciers in stream flow TA Central Asia Hydromet Modernization Project – CAHMP (Active) Preparation CAHMP Riparian Dialogue (Rogun Consultations) CASA-1000 Dialogue Support (Active) CASA-1000 (Active) First CA 2nd CA Climate Climate Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Program for the Aral Sea Knowledge Knowledge Basin (CAMP4ASB) $27 m (Active) Forum Forum ECA – Deep Dive – Turn Down the Heat Regional Investment LEGEND TA Events Projects ESTABLISHING COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE AND INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION Addressing Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) challenges requires commitment to coordination among different agencies and institutions across and despite administrative barriers. CAEWDP facilitated cross-sectoral working groups (CWG) of experts to develop solutions tackling IWRM challenges. The CWG under the Regional Center of Hydrology developed practical recommendations for decision makers on priority measures for preventing Shardara Dam safety failure and enhancing emergency measures in case of disaster. The CWG recommendations were adopted by the Government of Kazakhstan and measures focused on mudflow security and hydro meteorological monitoring and forecasting have been implemented by the respective ministries. Through collaboration with the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) and CAEWDP financing, the Knowledge Institutions Network in Central Asia, consisting of 26 regional universities, promoted cross-regional academic cooperation for youth development. Over 30 events reaching more than 500 participants from the five Central Asian countries and Afghanistan took place between 2014-2017 to facilitate cross-country knowledge exchange on water resource management and climate issues. Twenty successful proposals from a research competition were selected for funding and contributed with new knowledge and solutions to water-energy related problems. The wider Knowledge Network supported by CAEWDP also includes the Central Asia Youth Forum on Water. 19 FIGURE 10: GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR DEVELOPING THE KNOWLEDGE PLATFORM COOPERATION KNOWLEDGE OUTPUTS 1.

The Road Map identifies twelve distinct activities focusing on data management, modeling, governance and capacity building. This provided the framework for CAEWDP’s engagement in developing a shared and accessible knowledge platform following eight guiding principles for regional efforts that were identified during the consultation process (Fig. 10). The knowledge platform is driven by the concept of an integrated decision-support system for informed decision making, which includes three key parameters: data, analytics, and institutions. Guided by these parameters, the systematic engagement at the national-level and in regional forums focused on introducing an increased understanding of the energy- water nexus principles and possibilities through exemplar, modeling tools (i.e. AralDIF, BasinIT, & BEAM models, and Spatial Agent App). It links with the Knowledge Network to provide stakeholders with a platform for dialogue and information exchange (Fig.11) Large-scale international knowledge events, such as the 2016 Water Futures Forum & EXPO, provided opportunities for the countries to connect, advance mutual understanding and create a fertile ground for new ideas. FACILITATING THE REGIONAL DIALOGUE CAEWDP’s active engagement with EC-IFAS provided an opportunity to open a dialogue on priority water issues. Established in 1993, the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS) is the regional organization mandated by the Heads of State of five Central Asian countries working for cooperation in water resources and environmental management. CAEWDP worked with its Executive Committee (EC-IFAS) to prepare the Aral Sea Basin Program 3.

FOSTERING PARTNERSHIPS 22 4.1 ONE REGION, SIX COUNTRIES AND DIVERSE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS Many development partners engage on energy and water issues with the six countries in the region. This inherently carries the risk of uncoordinated interventions missing out opportunities to increase impact through synergistic planning and complementarity. Collaboration and coordination requires effort and has transaction costs. However, regular consultations and coordination among development partners enhance impact, prevent duplication and strengthen complementarity. The World Bank, recognized as an honest broker, addresses partnership coordination directly through CAEWDP. 4.2 ESTABLISHING PARTNERSHIPS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS Partnerships are critical to the rational and sustainable use of water and energy resources in Central Asia. CAEWDP brings together governments, national and regional organizations, civil society organizations, and development partners, including other international financial institutions. The Program is anchored in partnerships with governments to ensure that program activities address national priorities. CAEWDP also partners with regional organizations whose mandates are to convene discussions on regional issues, such as the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS). And finally, CAEWDP cooperates with other development and financing partners to enhance impact in meeting its objectives and to leverage investments by others. Within the Central Asia region, CAEWDP collaborates, among others, with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), European Investment Bank (EIB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and 23 German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ). The Road Map for Strengthening IWRM Analysis was developed in partnership with the Swiss Development Corporation (SDC) and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE); and CAEWDP partnered with the UNRCCA in the Rogun consultations4 and the UNRCCA’s regional dialogue on a cooperative framework for transboundary water management. CAEWDP engages at multiple levels to ensure effective coordination among stakeholders in the region and beyond. The program participates in several coordination platforms; including the Energy Donor Coordination Committee (DCC) in Tajikistan, the CAREC ESCC5, the Regional Environmental Center for Central Asia (CAREC) and the Enhanced Regional Cooperation on Environment, Climate Change and Water Project of the European Union (WECOOP). Joint efforts to address energy and water issues comprehensively have been recognized by the Central Asian governments at the 11th CAREC Ministerial Meetings in Wuhan China in November 2012. 4 The Rogun Consultations engaged the governments of the Aral Sea Basin (Central Asia and Afghanistan), civil societies, and diplomatic and development agencies in a program to share information and analysis from the assessment studies of the proposed Rogun Hydropower project. 5 The ESCC is one of four working committees of the CAREC program, an ADB-hosted partnership of ten countries (Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) supported by six multilateral institutions (ADB, Islamic Development Bank, JICA, USAID, UNDP and World Bank) working together to promote accelerated growth and poverty reduction through cooperation. “We are delighted to note that some of the 4.3 CREATING FINANCING PARTNERSHIPS AND CATALYZING INVESTMENTS academic exchange activities carried out under our program will be further scaled up under the USAID-funded Smart Waters Project, to be implemented by CAREC in 2015-2020. Linking CAEWDP serves as a platform to identify and finance now practitioners with youth from all over Central priority development interventions together with others Asia in the area of water resource management will partners. In 2014-2015, the Knowledge Institutions Network contribute to enhanced security and development in partnered with CAREC to launch a research competition the region in the future.” among Masters’ students from the Central Asian countries as part of the capacity building and youth engagement Julia Komagaeva, Program Coordinator of the Central efforts. Based on the success of this initiative, USAID Asia Knowledge Network Program provided over US$10 million additional financing to CAREC for the “Smart Water” project to further expand water-energy nexus Research & Development activities for youth in Central Asia from 2015-2020. Energy projects supported through CAEWDP are being realized by large financing consortiums. CASA-1000 is financed by a consortium which includes the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the EIB, the Islamic Development Bank, the United Kingdom, the United States and the World Bank together with the four participating countries. And the rehabilitation of Nurek Hydroelectric Plant, the preparation of which was initially supported by CAEWDP and which will ease Tajikistan’s winter energy deficit, has become possible through a financing partnership of the World Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Eurasian Development Bank with 24 the Government of Tajikistan. 4.4 THE WAY AHEAD The achievement of high-level regional goals is possible only through continued and dedicated long-term engagement. CAEWDP will continue to promote water and energy security working at national scale to carry on with the strengthening of national institutional capacities and sector performance, while at the same time keeping regional cooperation on the political dialogue agenda to create an enabling environment for national priorities and regional priorities to eventually converge. As the Program enters its third funding phase in 2018, the Program reflects the official addition of Afghanistan as a sixth direct beneficiary country of CAEWDP funds. This formalizes the ongoing practice of Afghanistan’s participation in multiple CAEWDP activities, in particularly those focused on regional consultations. The CAEWDP partnership of donors remains open to all development partners who want to contribute to promoting pathways to energy and water security in Central Asia.
