Bela Crkva, located in Vojvodina province, had no clear strategy for the management of drinking water and waste water. The volume of extracted groundwater and consumed water was not exactly known, drinking water quality fluctuated, levels of pollution due to uncontrolled waste water discharge were not regularly monitored, there was no inventory or map of the potential water sources. This has impacted on people’s health as well as on the quality of environment. The purpose of the first phase of the project was to develop medium and long – term drinking water management strategy including project documentation for the implementation of selected technical solutions under phase II. Phase II included the realization of these technical solutions and measures to improve the drinking water supply in the region.
Consultancy services included support with project planning, budgeting and formulation, technical aspects of tender documentation, as well as with the evaluation of proposals. The consultant also provides implementation support and technical backstopping and assists the Czech Development Agency with monitoring of project progress and results.

The evaluation included three projects: Increasing the Capacity of Drinking Water Supply in the Region of Boričevac Town (2008 – 2010); Site Investigation and Rehabilitation of Ada Huja Area (2008 – 2010) and Introducing Environmentally Sound Disposal of Petroleum Substances and Hazardous Wastes (2006 – 2010). The project “Increasing the Capacity of Drinking Water Supply in the Region of Boricevac Town” aimed at increase the capacity of potable water supply to citizens of the Valjevo city and its district of Boricevac by creating technical conditions enabling the connection of over 7,000 citizens to water supply network. The project “Site investigation and remediation of the region of Ada Huja” aimed at the improvement of environment and health in the Serbian capital of Belgrade by means of creating conditions for the rehabilitation of the Ada Huja peninsula region. The project "Introducing Environmentally Sound Disposal of Petroleum Substances and Hazardous Wastes " combined complex technical, chemical and logistical know – how which included solutions to the broad spectrum of problems with environmental burdens, created by the operation of the Panchevo refinery.
The main purpose of this evaluation was to obtain lessons learned and information to be used in decision-making as regards future interventions of Czech development cooperation (CZDC) in Serbia in the environment sector. The evaluation covered the OECD/DAC criteria: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and long-term impacts as well as cross cutting issues of the CZDC: Good governance, environment, human rights and gender.
