Project Complex

A Step toward Developing the Social Infrastructure in Shalinsky Raion, Republic of Chechnya

Requested amount    $45 000        Grantee contribution $94 114    Total cost   $142 114

Thematic projects included in the Project Complex:

• «Introduction of energy-efficiency techniques in the water supply system in Shalinsky Raion, Republic of Chechnya»;
• «Clean water: modernization of the water supply system in Shalinsky Raion in the Republic of Chechnya».

Municipal Profile Shalinsky Raion is situated in the southeastern part of the plain land in the Republic of Chechnya and includes 12 populated centers with a total population of over 50,000 people, including internally displaced persons (refugees) who fled to this region as a result of armed conflicts in their former settlements. Unemployment in this group of the population exceeds 60%. These people subside on pensions and unemployment benefits, keep cattle and grow their own vegetables.

Community problems addressed by the Project Complex:

• Inefficient energy consumption during the operation of water pumping devices of the system of supplying water to municipal institutions and the private residential sector;
• The need to reduce the consumption of produced water resources;
• The need in good quality water (meeting sanitary standards and not causing danger to human health) at municipal institutions and in the private residential sector.

Synergetic effect of the Project Complex:
All the projects of this complex are aimed at addressing topical social and economic issues. The project outcomes will noticeably improve the quality of life in the community and will help the municipal authorities to use the acquired experience in the future to seek solutions to local problems using their own resources. Another development feature will be the ability of municipal institutions to save funds and use them for their own needs. Community members will benefit from the improvement of the quality of services and also from the possibility to save money. Municipal institutions will reinvest savings in the following way: the budgets of these organizations are spent for paying for services provided by the state. The budgets include a line “Other expenses” that are used for the needs of the organization. After the end of the projects, they will be able to save funds from the line “Services”, thus increasing the line “Other expenses” and using it for acquiring equipment, consumables, and visual aids to improve the quality of services.

Project «Introduction of energy-efficiency techniques in the water supply system in Shalinsky Raion, Republic of Chechnya»

Organization:
Nizam Regional Public Fund
Type of organization:
Non-profit

Start date April01, 2008

End date November 30, 2008

Project summary:
Project activities will include:

• Drilling a new water well and replacing the old pipeline;
• Installing an energy-efficient pump and replacing the out-dated electric transformer.

These activities will significantly improve the quality of drinking water used by the community of Belgatoi Settlement and, in particular, by the patients of the local hospital.  After the end of the project, a presentation of its results will be organized for the community, local government and NGOs.

Location of dissemination:

Project coordinator:
Anzor Daudov, Program Manager of the Nizam Public Fund

Project objectives:
Belgatoi settlement is located in the center of the raion and is one of the suppliers of energy resources to the other settlements of this raion. This project will focus on:

• improving the quality of drinking water in the community;
• solving the problem of excess power consumption by the central pumping facilities;
• reducing power consumption in the community and, thus, lowering the burden on the settlement’s transforming devices and neighboring settlements that are part of the same municipality.
• saving funds that were previously spent for urgent repairs of pumping equipment and payments for excess power consumption.

Anticipated results:
This project will reduce power consumption in the community and, thus, lower the burden on the electric transforming facilities in the community and other populated centers located nearby and included in the same municipality. Following guidelines from Vodokanal experts, an F3-16 pump will be installed with a capacity of Р=0.55 kW that allows to save up to 1.5 kW/h. A transformer with a capacity of 40 kW will be separately installed at the water tower and will help save approximately the same amount of electricity. As a result, the local self-government will be able to save fund that are now spent for urgent repairs of the existing equipment (up to 1,500 rubles a month) and for paying for excess electricity (over 15,000 rubles).
The pressure of the supplied water will be sufficient for providing drinking water to over 4, 500 residents of the municipality, inlcuding 2,000 students. The water supply of the local hospital that services the whole raion will also improve, as well as the communal farm – both of which are the primary employers and sources of income in this community.
