The project Public Sector Development Policy has changed to Active. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objectives of the Public Sector Reform Development Policy Loan (PSRDPL) are to assist the Royal Thai Government (RTG) in its response to the financial crisis and to support institutional development in the public sector by: 1) improving the effectiveness of the public financial management framework through better governance and accountability; 2) enhancing the skills and performance of the civil service; and 3) improving quality and timeliness of service delivery. The closing date for the project will be extended from December 31, 2012 until June 30, 2013. The RTG has so far withdrawn USD100 million and intends to withdraw the remaining USD900 million in support of the implementation of their FY2013 budget; in particular, the extension will enable the withdrawals to be more aligned with the implementation of the RTG's investment plans for FY2013 (October 2012-September 2013) which will mostly be in the first half of 2013. The extension will also be helpful in lowering the cost of swapping the PSRDPL proceeds from US dollars to Thai Baht for the RTG. The baht swap market is quite thin and is therefore volatile. The extension of the PSRDPL closing date to June 2013 will make it difficult for speculative investors to predict when the Ministry of Finance (MOF) will make the swaps and how much each time. The extension will also allow the MOF to make swaps in smaller amounts at a time - which will not swing the swap market by too much which is undesirable by (and may hurt) other non-speculative clients in the swap market (e.g. exporters). This will be the second extension of the project, and a cumulative extension of nine months.

The project Additional Financing - Highways Management Project has changed to Active. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

This project paper provides an additional International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) loan in an amount of USD 79.30 million to the Thailand Highways Management Project (HMP). The additional loan will mainly help finance the costs associated with the widening of five national highway sections from two lanes to four lanes (totaling 2 16 kilometers) under the Royal Government of Thailand (RGT)'s four-lane Second Phase Highway Widening Project (phase II). Two sections are located in the Northeast Region of the country, two in the South, and one in the Eastern Seaboard. The widening of these sections is proposed for accommodating the growing traffic and improving road safety, with an expected outcome in the reduction of road user costs (including vehicle operating costs, travel time costs and traffic accident costs) by at least 10percent on the improved sections. The existing loan for the HMP was approved on December 9, 2003, and became effective on March 15, 2004. The implementing agency is the Department of Highways (DOH). There was a one-year extension of the loan closing date from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. This was followed by an extension to September 30, 2009 for the processing of a second order restructuring, and another extension to June 30, 2010 as part of the completed restructuring. The total disbursed balance as of February 3, 2010 is USD 77.89 million, which represents 92.4percent of the loan commitment of USD 84.29 million.

The project Thailand Small Scale Livestock Waste Management Program has changed to Active. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objectives of the Small Scale Livestock Waste Management Program Project are to: (a) reduce methane emissions from improved livestock waste management practices through a carbon finance transaction between the World Bank and the project sponsor; and (b) serve as a demonstration for future programmatic Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) activities in Thailand. There are three components to the project, the first component being construction of livestock waste management facilities. These component activities include: (i) installation of anaerobic wastewater treatment systems; (ii) installation of monitoring equipment and devices; and (iii) implementation of an environmental management and indigenous people plan during construction and operation phases. The second component is the carbon finance transaction. This component will facilitate the purchase and transaction of Certified Emission Reduction (CER) from the participating farms through several CDM program activities. Finally, the third component is the capacity building. Participating farms will be responsible for operating and monitoring the livestock waste treatment systems on their own farms as required under the CDM with technical assistance provided by Energy Research and Development Institute of Chiang Mai University (ERDI) and ERDI's consultants. ERDI will provide a capacity building program for the participating farms including: (1) training on the operation of anaerobic wastewater treatment system; (2) training on the handling of monitoring data; and (3) ensuring training for operation and maintenance in close cooperation with suppliers of the generators and monitoring equipments.

The project Thailand: Bioenergy Sugar Ethanol Wastewater Management Project is now in the pipeline. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objective of the Bio Energy Wastewater Management and Methane Capturing for Electricity Project for Thailand is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through: (i) the avoidance of methane emissions from the wastewater treatment system of the ethanol plant; and (ii) the displacement of electricity produced from fossil fuel to electricity from methane collected from the new wastewater treatment system. There are three components to the project; the first component being improvement of the wastewater management system. This component will improve the management of wastewater and sludge generated by the ethanol plant. The second component is the waste-to-energy and transmission facility. This component will capture methane for electricity generation with the installed capacity of 3.2 MW and annual output of around 18 GWh, which will be sold to the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) of Thailand under the Very Small Power Producer Program (VSPP). The electricity will be transmitted through the upgraded transmission line to connect to the provincial grid sub-station. Finally, the third component is the carbon finance transaction.
