The economy of Azerbaijan is dominated by oil production and industry. Currently the industrial sector contributes over 60% to its GDP, and crude oil accounts for over 90% of its goods exports. Pollution associated with the oil sector has had severe effects on many locations at the Absheron Peninsula – the center of the oil production area – leaving the region damaged and caused significant land contamination. Land degradation is a deterrent to future development, and pollution’s impact on public health is significant. The KGGTF funded program will focus on studying the area in and around Lake Khojasan, and will contribute to the identification of the cleanup and ecological revitalization measures of the water body and adjacent land in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. It further aims to foster a strong partnership between public and private sectors by developing innovative financial mechanisms for land redevelopment that could be scaled up and sustained in the future. Another component of the program will be to strengthen the capacity of involved stakeholders through the introduction of new technical know-how, and education and training in the deployment of green growth practices. This component will be carried out through studying, learning and sharing Korea’s successes in green urban development, remediation of industrially contaminated sites and treatment of polluted water.

Meisner (Senior Economist) Grant Start/Completion: 11/5/2015 ~ 6/30/2018Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe project aimed to curb air and water pollution and grow a green economy. Every year in Egypt, up to 20,000 people die prematurely because of air pollution—much of it from the burning of agricultural and municipal waste, transportation sources, and industry. Water pollution is also a growing concern for economic growth and health, with most of it coming from industrial effluent; agricultural fertilizers, pesticides, and organic materials; and untreated sewage. It turns out that only 12 percent of rural villages are served by sewage networks connected to treatment plants. This World Bank KGGTF-funded green growth implementation program aims to curb air and water pollution by improving access to sanitation and sewage treatment and limiting agricultural run-off and the burning of waste. An economic inquiry would assess the cost of environmental degradation in Egypt. And a subsequent environmental analysis would identify pollution sources, helping the government prioritize work on key policy reforms and investments to reduce air, water, and land pollution. Options include the introduction of new composting technologies, biomass production, and economical solutions for sewage treatment.

Prince (Lead Natural Resources Management Specialist) Grant Start/Completion: 9/29/2015 ~ 4/30/2018Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe project aimed to stem the tide of illegal fisheries catches in West Africa. Fisheries are a $3-billion-a-year business in West Africa, employing more than 3 million people and providing up to 50 percent of the total animal protein intake for a number of countries in the region. But with dramatic illegal catches, estimated at up to 45 percent of the legal catch, or $1.3 billion annually, fish stocks and food security remain at risk. This World Bank KGGTF-funded green growth implementation program will create efficient and effective, regionally connected monitoring and surveillance systems that will help coastal communities grow green economies and improve the health of fish stocks. The program will test an affordable and effective surveillance strategy, upgrade marine vessel monitoring and information systems, and include knowledge sharing with Korean partners and South American and South East Asian counterparts. By consolidating and promoting sustainable and productive uses of renewable marine resources, in addition to building on improved fisheries governance, the region will not only prepare for projected climate change impacts, it will also unlock growth that benefits poor and vulnerable populations and helps restore West African economies.

Greener Cement Industries in AfricaBasic InformationGrant ID: K-59 Country: Sub-Saharan Africa Region: Africa Sector: Environment Grant Year: Year 3 Grant Title: Greener Cement Industries in Africa Approved Grant Amount: $700000.00 Product Line and P-Code: IFC - Advisory, IFC-0600836 TTLs: Entienne Raffi Kechichian (Senior Private Sector Specialist) Grant Start/Completion: 8/12/2015 ~ 4/30/2018Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe project aimed to make cement production more energy efficient and competitive, while better managing urban waste streams. Rapidly urbanizing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, which is expected to be home to 90 percent of the total African population by 2050, rely heavily on cement to build houses and infrastructure. The problem is that cement production is generally energy-intensive, resulting in increased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. At the same time, urban waste generation is expected to increase by more than 440,000 tons per day by 2025. By leveraging the increased waste from cities and turning it into fuel, this World Bank KGGTF-funded green growth implementation program aims to support green growth by reducing the amount of fossil-fuel consumption associated with making cement. The program will find alternative fuel sources, including non-hazardous industrial waste and domestic trash, for the more than 70 cement facilities in the region. The change in energy source could reduce production costs and environmental and health impacts currently associated with urban growth in the region. List of Activities
