Capacity Building for Industrial Pollution Management

Organisation :

The development objective of the Capacity Building for Industrial Pollution Management Project for India is twofold: (i) to support the development of institutional and methodological framework for rehabilitation of highly polluted sites, resulting from rapid industrialization and which is piloted in two states; and (ii) to build tangible human and technical capacity in state agencies for undertaking projects for reducing the risks from contamination to population, livelihood, and ecosystem, associated with past environmental damage. This restructuring will bring the following changes: (a) cancellation of special drawing rights (SDR) 6.49 million (United States (U.S.) 10 million dollars equivalent) of the total SDR 25.70 million (U.S. 38.94 million dollars equivalent) in the International Development Association (IDA) credit for the project; (b) the exchange rate of Indian rupee (Rs.) has depreciated from Rs.44.94 (at the project appraisal in May, 2010) to 62.48 (as on November 30, 2013) as against the dollar. This partial cancellation will allow the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) to reallocate the funds under IDA 16; and (c) about SDR 97,100 also remained unclaimed under project preparation advance (category two) of the project. This is to be transferred to 'category one (b)' of eligible expenditures.
