Kvemo Kartli Solid Waste Project

About this project

The provision of a sovereign loan increase of up to EUR 6 million to finance the funding gap for the construction of an EU-compliant regional sanitary landfill in Kvemo Kartli region and the purchase of specialised equipment for related landfill operations (the "Project"). The loan was originally signed in 2015 in the amount of EUR 7 million (in two tranches) to finance the construction of the Kvemo Kartli landfill and specialised equipment, which continues to be financed by EBRD, and relevant infrastructure in Marneuli municipality, which will now be financed by the Government of Georgia. Based on updated scope, the EBRD financing is provided in two tranches: EUR 4.3 million from the original loan provided in 2015 and EUR 6 million from the loan increase provided in 2024. The Project aims to introduce a modern solid waste management system covering the collection and EU-compliant disposal of municipal solid waste and is expected to provide major environmental and social benefits for approximately 300,000 people in the Kvemo Kartli region. The Project is part of the National Waste Management Strategy Action Plan and is a part of a broader programme aiming to assist the country to meet its obligations under the European Union Association Agreement, signed between Georgia and the EU in 2014, which includes obligations to improve solid waste management in the country.
