Description (EN): The overall objective of the project is to achive stronger regional partnership and cooperation to realize significant improvements of the wastewater treatment facilities management in the Black Sea coastal states.

Achievements (EN):

Expert knowledge on the situation of wastewater management and sustainable development increased in the Black Sea region. New concept developed to improve the management of wastewaters treatment facilities (WWTF) in 6 countries, with direct access to the Black Sea or clearly integrated to the BS Basin. Increasing WWTF performance, by implementing the CIS concept in Romania, Region of South-East and in Greece, Anatoliki Makedonia –Thraki Region. 1.

Manuals translated in the native languages supported wastewater treatment facilities in the Black Sea region to maximize the benefits of services they deliver for population. - a Balanced Scorecard Manual has been designed as a guidance tool for a continuous improvement of the sewage facilities management performance to reducing WWTF operational costs or minimizing the capital costs. Manual translated in the native languages of all the partners (five kits) were disseminated to local authorities and managers of the main wastewater treatment facilities. 2. Project's target groups and stakeholders (team members, regional operators, WWTFs owners, managers, designers, process engineers and operators agencies, universities and institutes personnel involved in environmental protection and wastewater management) increased their their level of understanding, information, knowledge and skills through training activities organized by partners. - 3 training sessions organized in Tbilisi, Georgia, Dobrich, Bulgaria and Constanta, Romania. - - 2 pilot CIS projects have been developed by the project: 1 in Romania, Region of South-East - Cernavoda WWTP (COMOTI and RAJA Constanta) and 1 in Greece, Anatoliki Makedonia, Thraki Region – Drama WWTP (ERFC). - Minitab Statistical Software lycenses and laptops sustained project's logistics. 3. Joint Action's inssured on the Action's visibility and EU funding by: - 3 dissemination workshops (Kavala, Greece, Yerevan, Armenia and Chisinau, Moldova) promoted the project; - media articles and 1 press conference and by publishing information regarding the project’s progress and results on all the 7 partners’ websites: http://www.comoti.ro/ro/participarea_la_proiecte_europene_2_19_prezentare_generala.htm http://www.rajac.ro/programe-europene/ciswastewater http://blackseacentre.alle.bg/projects/ciswastewater/general-description/ http://erfc.gr/projects-news/black-sea.html http://www.ysu.am/science/en/1395663016 http://usm.md/?p=6748&lang=ro http://icsrpa.com/ciswastewater-2/ - a Final Meeting and Press conference organized in Constanta, Romania with the participation of all partners, representatives of the local authorities from Romania and Bulgaria and guests from Romanian Water Association. - 1 CISWastewater Poster; - 30 personalized laptop bags; 30 blocknotes; 30 personalized CDs distributted to participants.
