Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Improvement of access to drinking water and sanitation in Gorgol, Guidimakha and Assaba:(Cost $22.50 M) Component 2: Improving sustainable access to safe water and sanitation for refugees and host communities in Hodh Echargui and Hodh El Gharbi:(Cost $12.70 M) Component 3: Institutional Support, Capacity Building and Project Management:(Cost $13.80 M) Component 4: Contingency Emergency Response Component Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions There has been some progress noted during the last Implementation Support Mission (March-April 2022), which mark a turning point in the project. In particular, the recruitment of the Technical Assistance and Supervision Firms is now completed and the supervision firm for component 1 has already mobilized its team to visit sites and prepare bidding documents for the works in the 3 Wilayas (Asaba, Gorgol and Guidimhka). The contract for the supervision firm for lot 2 was signed at the beginning of June and the firm is expected to begin its mission in July 2022. The technical assistance (TA) firm to support institutional strengthening and implementation activities for the PIU and all participating agencies was mobilized on April 8th and has already begun working. The project has established Complaints Management Committees at the level of wilayas (regions) and moughataas (districts) in project areas in accordance with the Environmental and Social Framework. There has been relatively less momentum in 6/17/2022 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Water and Sanitation Sectoral Project (P167328) putting in place many of the activities that were identified for institutional strengthening and sector reforms although the TA firm is now in place in the country (for the past month and a half) and has completed initial consultations with sector entities on Project implementation bottlenecks including the reform priorities. In the next few months, key milestones to anticipate include the launching of the tender process for lot 1 works, the start of the lot 2 supervision firm’s contract and progress in institutional strengthening activities with MHA (the Ministry of Water and Sanitation); CNRE (the water resources agency), SNDE (the urban water utility) and ONSER (the rural water authority).
