Abstract
Russia's transition to a market
economy has had profound effects on its municipal water and
wastewater sector. The country's overall economic
downturn and severe fiscal constraints have deprived the
municpal water and wastewater companies and local
governments of the large subsidies they used to receive. The
scarcity of resources has prevented new investment, and many
wastewater companies need help to keep their systems
functioning. The proposed Bank-financed project on Russia
Municipal Water and Wastewater seeks to improve the water
services people receive. People are the most important
factor in all water supply and sanitation activities. This
Note summarizes the objectives of the social assessment (SA)
for the project and the SA findings. It also presents the
recommendations the SA made.
