No Components Table Name Component 1: Capacity Building on Transport Planning and Policies:(Cost $1.10 M) Component 2: Climate Resilient and Safe Infrastructure Solutions:(Cost $34.46 M) Component 3: Project Management:(Cost $2.44 M) Component 4: Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO -- Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) -- Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating -- Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project was approved by the World Bank on December 10, 2021 and became effective on February 17, 2022. This is the first ISR of the project. The volcanic eruption and tsunami in January 2022, together with the COVID19 lockdown in February 2022, has slowed down progress on the key consulting service activities under procurement. Project Management Unit (PMU) for the project has been operating with four key roles vacant since November 2021, but all of the vacant positions will be filled by March 2022. 3/17/2022 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tonga Climate Resilient Transport Project II (P176208) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate -- Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate -- Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate -- Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Low -- Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Moderate -- Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial -- Substantial Environment and Social Substantial -- Substantial Stakeholders Moderate -- Moderate Other Substantial -- Substantial Overall Moderate -- Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To improve the climate resilience and safety of the Recipient’s transport sector IN01114429 ►Vulnerable project roads made more resilient to climate events (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- 0.00 100.00 Date 26-Feb-2021 -- 09-Mar-2022 28-Feb-2029 The identification of vulnerable project roads will be conducted by the TCRTP Vulnerability Assessment. A denominator will be the total length of the project road sections classified as vulnerable by the Comments: Vulnerability Assessment. More resilient will be determined when resilience enhancements - recommended by design consultant, are implemented on the vulnerable project roads. IN01114430 ►Population having access to roads with upgraded climate resilience (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- 0.00 40,000.00 Date 26-Feb-2021 -- 09-Mar-2022 28-Feb-2029 3/17/2022 Page 2 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tonga Climate Resilient Transport Project II (P176208) A measure of increase in population having access to roads upgraded with climate resilience measures, for example, repairs, rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing road pavement layers and/or surfacing, Comments: provision of sealed shoulders and raising road levels; drainage improvements; spot slope stabilization; and rock wall revetment strengthening. The number of population having access is measured as the census population in the same districts of the upgraded roads. IN01114431 ►High road accident risk locations improved with road safety measures (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- 0.00 50.00 Date 26-Feb-2021 -- 09-Mar-2022 28-Feb-2029 High road accident risk locations will be identified by road safety audit. Improved with road safety measures, for example, line-marking, provision/widening of sealed shoulders, signage, intersection Comments: controls, and removal/mitigation of roadside hazards. Road safety measures from the road safety audits will be incorporated into the works. IN01114432 ►Proportion of major outer islands ports with enhanced climate resilience in accordance with design standard to withstand 50-year return period storm event (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 20.00 -- 0.00 60.00 Date 26-Feb-2021 -- 09-Mar-2022 28-Feb-2029 This indicator applies to breakwaters and other port works at Nafanua Port ('Eua) and Taufa'ahau Port (Ha'apai). The major outer islands consists of 5 main ports in 'Eua, Ha'apai, Vava'u, Niuatuputapu, and Niuafo'ou. Accordingly, the denominator of the indicator is 5. The design standard takes into consideration the magnitude of event, generally relating to wave height, so that a structure is designed to survive with no Comments: or minimal damage. The likelihood of a design event impacting a structure is a function of the probability of event occurrence and the time frame being considered. The project will follow the design of structures to withstand storm events of 50-year return period, which is equivalent to a 25 year design life (timeframe). The baseline number is 20% as one of the outer islands ports, Neiafu in Vava'u is located inside a natural harbor and considered sufficiently resilient.
