Additionality and Impact

The EIB financing will support the project "Cluj and Salaj Counties II-Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Investments for 2014-2020". The project is financed from the Cohesion Fund under the Large Infrastructure Operational Program (LIOP) 2014-2020. The Project will provide a significant positive environmental and public health impact and contribute to meeting the country's needs in the water and sanitation sectors, including compliance with EU environmental legislation, in particular the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, the Drinking Water Directive and the Water Framework Directive. The Project will generate substantial economic benefits, which mostly consist of: (i) improved access to compliant drinking water and (ii) improved sanitation and quality of surface water. The estimated number of beneficiaries is about 765,000. The Project will also contribute to climate action by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is in line with the Bank's lending orientation for the water sector. In addition to the advisory support provided by JASPERS, the EIB financial contribution to the Project alongside EU funds and the Regional Operator's contribution, also financed by the Bank through a direct loan, will help accelerate the investment by offering long-term financing at favourable conditions in comparison to the financial market.
