I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. On 18 January 1996, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved two loans to the Government of Indonesia: (i) one loan in the amount of $45 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources, and (ii) one loan in various currencies in the amount of SDR30.1 million (equivalent to $45 million) from ADB's Special Funds to finance 59% of the total $153 million cost of the North Java Flood Control Sector Project. The goal of the Project was to improve the quality of life for rural and urban populations in the project area by reducing flood-induced disruption of human activities and the incidence of disease by preventing regular flooding of houses and crops, minimizing disruptions of services and commercial activities, and enhancing the incomeearning capacity of the generally poor populations in flood-affected areas. The Project also aimed to promote sound management of natural resources and the environment by encouraging further improvements in land use in the upper river basin catchments, monitoring and controlling sediment imbalances in the river channels, and expanding the monitoring of river water quality. This approach was consistent with the Government's policy and strategy and ADB's country operational strategy in Indonesia.

2. The Project's scope comprised (i) flood control and protection, (ii) institutional strengthening of water resources services, (iii) a flood warning pilot project, (iv) monitoring river degradation, and (v) monitoring river water quality. The project documentation consists of a report and recommendation of the President. The strategic development objectives classification of the Project was social concerns, primary-human development. The project framework is shown in Appendix 1.

3. The Directorate General of Water Resources Development (DGWR) was the executing agency (EA) and the Project was implemented by national project implementation units (PIUs) (Appendix 2). The loans became effective on 6 March 1996 and were closed on 29 June 2004, following one extension of 30 months granted by ADB. The original loan amount was later reduced to $73.7 million after potential savings from loan proceeds were canceled in 1998 ($16.2 million) and 2000 ($15.9 million). The Government completed a comprehensive project completion report, dated December 2003. The Government found the overall implementation of the Project to be satisfactory.
