5. 5. Background: The Egyptian Pollution Abatement Project (EPAP II) is one of the main projects managed by Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs (MSEA). Its main goals are to assist the Egyptian industry to comply with the environmental regulation, as well as improving its environmental performance altogether. EPAP II is a project financed jointly by World Bank (WB), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and the French Development Agency, In addition to European Commission (EC), the Government of Finland, and the Government of Egypt. 6
6. 6. Objectives of EPAP II: To provide soft financing package to support industrial pollution abatement projects in industrial establishments from both public & private sectors. To develop sustainable financial, technical and institutional mechanisms for pollution abatement to decrease the pollution loads in selected hot-spots areas in greater Cairo and Alexandria governorates in order to improve local environmental conditions. To introduce suitable environmental management approaches, improve the quality of inspection activities, develop technical capacity of environmental institutions as well as participating banks and improve public information, awareness and activity relating to industrial environmental affairs in Egypt, particularly in Greater Cairo and Alexandria Governorates. 7
7. 7. Investment Component: 8 EPAP Co financiers Mission Feb 09 The investment component provides soft financing package to support industrial pollution abatement projects in industrial establishments from both public and private sectors. The National Bank of Egypt (NBE) is the Apex bank through which resources provided by the Co-financers will be made available for financing environmental projects in industrial establishments. The company should provide at least 10% of the total investment to cover civil works, custom & taxes. The Co-financers package consists of a grant of 20% of the total investments cost and 80% loan on commercial terms with 1-2 years grace period and up to 8 years total repayment period.
8. 8. EPAP II Eligible Projects: Industrial investment projects in Greater Cairo and Alexandria areas in all industrial sectors for: Pollution prevention projects: air emissions reduction, work environment improvement and waste water treatment and management. In process modification, in plant modification and end of pipe treatment. Adoption of cleaner technology Improvement of energy efficiency and other resources in addition to conversion to cleaner fuels. Hazardous Waste management projects. Environmental services projects. 9
9. 9. Sub-project status: Active projects and current status: At March 2014 there were 37 active project applications from 27 companies with a total value of US$ 175 million.
10. 10. Alexandria Coastal Zone Management Project (ACZMP) 2010 - 2015
11. 11. Introduction The project is financed by a Grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF)) in the amount of US$ 7.15 million. Managed by the WB, and implemented by the EEAA during the period of 2010-2015 The main objective of the project is to reduce water pollution reaches the Mediterranean from Lake Maryout.
12. 12. Current Environmental Problems Most of the lake area is covered by reeds which lead to a decrease in the rates of dissolved oxygen and in fish quantities in the lake. Decrease in the annual fish production which leads to social and economic problems Deterioration of water quality
13. 13. Project objectives Supply a strategic framework and immediate small- scale investments to reduce the load of land- based sources of pollution entering the Mediterranean Sea in the hot spots of El Mex Bay and Lake Mariout. Protect/restore globally significant coastal heritage and ecosystem processes by supporting the Government of Egypt's efforts to develop and implement a National Coastal Zone Management Plan.

Framework Alexandria Coastal Zone Management Project (ACZMP) Planning, Institutional Capacity and Monitoring Strengthening Pollution reduction Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation COMPONENTSOUTCOMES Increase capacities to manage the coastal zone Reduction in the land based source througth pilot measures Completion of a M&E system and dissemination i) Preparation of an ICZM plan for Alexandria including Lake Mariut ii) Development of an integrated water quality monitoring network for Lake Mariut and Med. Sea including a water quality and hydraulic model US$ 7.15 million
16. 16. Component (1): Planning, Institutional Capacity and Monitoring. The expected outcome is an increased capacity for various relevant entities to manage the coastal zones in and around Alexandria . The outputs for this component include (i) A master plan for the management of the coastal zones of Alexandria including Lake Mariout (ii) Development of a water quality monitoring network for Lake Mariout.
17. 17. Component (1): Planning, Institutional Capacity and Monitoring. STATUS: - ICZM Plan has been awarded to Spanish Institute (IH Cantapria) for 24 months contract started in May 2013. - Mariut Lake Hydrodynamic and WQ Mathematical Modeling completed - IT, GIS, and WQ equipment and materials has been assessed for different partners and purchase is ongoing - Comprehensive Social Baseline Study has been conducted for the project area
