Armenia: Kotayk Solid Waste Management Project
Project number: 39603
Project Status: Passed concept review, Pending final review
Project Description: The EBRD is considering providing a 3.5 million
sovereign loan to the Republic of Armenia for the construction of the
first EU compliant regional landfill and relevant infrastructure in
the country.
The landfill will be located in Hrazdan, capital town of Kotayk
distrcit in the central part of Armenia, and will be used by eight
municipalities in the nearby region - Hrazdan, Abovian, Charentsavan,
Yeghvard, Nor Hachn, Tsakhadzor, Byureghavan and Sevan (Participating
Municipalities).
The project will require the tendering out of waste collection to the
private sector and the creation of a fully commercial solid waste
management company (the Company ).
The project will also include the aquisition of vehicles, bins and
equipment for waste management.
Transition Impact: Framework for markets: The Participating
Municipalities will be charged a full cost recovery tipping fee as
part of the project structure within two years of the landfill
becoming operational. In addition, public service contracts defining
the responsibilities of the Company and the Participating
Municipalities will be developed.
Institutional building: Technical co-operation services will be
provided to assist participating municipalities in establishing a
commercially driven solid waste company. Subsequent capacity building
will be provided to implement efficient operations in accordance with
a business plan, and in accordance with EU directives on solid waste.
Private sector participation: Private participation in the collection
of waste will be developed through the tendering of collection
services.
Demonstration effect of new processes: The Project will put in place
the first sanitary landfill in Armenia to be built and operated in
accordance with applicable EU Directives. Besides physical technology,
the Project will also help develop better public awareness of the
benefits of anti-littering and recycling through public promotion
campaigns and incentives. This would be the first commercially driven
approach in Armenia, with significant demonstration effects to other
cities and solid waste companies.
The Client: Sovereign loan to the Republic of Armenia with on-lending
to the Participating Municipalities, which will establish and own the
company for solid waste management to operate the landfill.
EBRD Finance: 3.5 million sovereign loan, which will be on-lent to the
Participating Municipalities. In addition, the European Union

amount of 3.5 million to provide co-financing for the Project.
Project Cost: The project cost is US $ 10.791204 million ( 8.07
million), including post signing technical cooperation.
Environmental Impact: The Project is expected to provide significant
environmental and social benefits for the Kotayk Region and Sevan
municipality by introducing a
