Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Energy Efficiency Component 48.00 Residential Gas Connection s Component 8.50 Project Implementation and Management Support 5.00 Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Public Disclosure Copy Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Highly Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status Overview The progress towards achievement of the Project Development Objective (PDO) and Implementation Progress (IP) of the Post Chernobyl Recovery Project (Project) has been satisfactory throughout its entire implementation period. Most end target indicators have been achieved and several exceeded. Over 250,000 beneficiaries were reached with improved energy efficient services (including replacement of windows and installation of energy efficiency lighting in public buildings, rehabilitation of boiler houses, and, in some cases, conversion of boiler houses to mini combined heat and power plants). The emphasis of energy efficiency activities was on users of public institutions, such as schools and hospitals, located in the Chernobyl-affected area. About 5,005 individual homes were connected to natural gas for heating purposes (before the project, they were using solid fuel for Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR12107 heating). As demonstrated by the social assessment in August-September 2013 and feedback to the project team from direct beneficiaries, the project had significant social, economic and environmental benefits. The population residing in the Project area was provided with energy efficient and reliable heat and hot water services thus improving their living environment.
