agro-processing businesses as well as agricultural production inputs and improvements, transportation, warehousing and marketing. Credits will be available for both sub-projects and working capital. Relevant activities not supported by the World Bank include tobacco (sub-project type in brackets): growing/or processing development, production or purchase of genetically modified (agriculture); organisms (GMOs) any activity related to illegal pesticides use of (agriculture); (agriculture); chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) use of natural products listed (agro-processing requiring refrigeration); under CITES Appendix 1 (tanning industry). Vulnerability and Risks The impacts of sub-projects to be financed under the FSDP credit line to Aiyl Bank are expected to be easily mitigated through good practices and project design. While cumulative impacts are not likely to be an issue, attention will have to be given to agro-processing activities within the same watershed and within the same region due to their characteristic common impacts resulting from solid waste, effluent discharges and air emissions. This will be monitored by the CLMU environment specialist. Environmental Screening Categories The proposed sub-projects are classified into one of three categories on the type, location, sensitivity and scale of the subproject and the magnitude of potential environmental impacts. The three categories are: Category A - High Potential; Category B - Intermediate Potential, and; Category C - Low Potential. A list of potential sub-projects classified by category (for A and B) and is provided in the table below. Category A sub-projects are not eligible for World Bank financing.
