The events were attended by about 100 representatives of local communities. The report of these CE activities is available at BT and was submitted to the World Bank. These events are scheduled annually and over the last year BT has discussed the difficulties of proceeding with the annual information sharing and consultations meetings due to the social distancing and travel restrictions imposed by the Government due to COVID-19. To Comments: ensure the continuity of the planned CE actions, BT has started to share information on its website (www.barqitojik.tj) about the project progress related to main aspects of implementation, including engagement of local labor for civil works, and requested feedback from key stakeholders. BT has ensured that the GRM is fully functional (staffing, procedures and logs are available), monthly progress reports are submitted to the Bank along with the annual reports; to date 36 questions/issues/complaints have been received and resolved/addressed. 6/29/2022 Page 5 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Nurek Hydropower Rehabilitation Project Phase I (P150816) Performance-Based Conditions Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed % Disbursed P150816 IDA-60240 Effective USD 69.14 69.14 0.00 24.90 44.23 36% P150816 IDA-60250 Effective USD 100.00 100.00 0.00 0.25 99.75 0.3% P150816 IDA-D1790 Effective USD 56.57 56.57 0.00 58.91 0.00 100% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
