Environmental management has been the largest area of activity primarily because of the program in China. Projects in China center on water resources management, sewerage, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, and air and industrial pollution control. China’s cities are making large investments in sewerage and drainage, and there is a high level of demand from China for World Bank support for environmental management.
Drainage and flood control is seen to be a more immediate priority than sewerage in many countries, especially Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. In Indonesia, the Bank has financed drainage and flood control in cities through integrated urban infrastructure development programs. In the Philippines the Bank has used city-specific development projects to support these efforts. In Vietnam a series of important environmental sanitation projects is under way.
