World Bank appraisal mission to Poland May 31 to June 11, 1993. The GEF Coal-to-Gas Conversion Project

Abstract

These two reports (R1994-07 & R1994-08) were written for the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as part of our participation in the World Bank Appraisal Missions to initiate two practical demonstration projects for possible future Joint Implementation projects. The papers give a background and description of the projects which have been considered and approved by the GEF participants meeting. They present the objectives of the projects and that of Norwegian cofinancing and discuss various elements like the costs and financing, the national and international benefits, the baseline scenarios, the incremental costs calculations, project sustainability and aspects of monitoring and verification of effects. The papers are not discussing the issue of crediting for future Joint Implementation projects.
