At present, ADB has financed two water supply and sanitation improvement projects in Azerbaijan. The first, a $30 million loan assigned in 2004, saw the rehabilitation of the water supply system in Gekchay and Nakhchivan, under a project valued at a total of $39.9 million.
That loan period expired on June 30, 2011.
As the cost of the project, approved for five years, increased and in order to give full coverage of works in the above regions, ADB assigned $75 million under the MFF as the first tranche, whereas the Government of Azerbaijan assigned $25 million.
The MFF was approved to the sum of $600 million by the ADB Executive Board in September 2009. The Bank plans to approve the third tranche worth $175 million till Dec 31, 2012.
