Despite several achievements after the first two years, the project faced significant implementation delays. These were mainly due to: (i) political instability; (ii) teacher strikes; (iii) and the COVID- 19 global pandemic. To address the implementation challenges, the project was restructured in January 2021. Overall, the performance of the project is improving. However, given the continued delays under Component 2, the rating for the progress towards achievement of the Project Development Objective (PDO) has been considered Moderately Unsatisfactory. However, it is expected that the pilot of the new curriculum and teacher training activities will finally begin in January 2022 and bring the project fully back on track. The World Bank will be conducting a supervision mission in January 2022 and intends to revisit the project ratings and prepare a detailed ISR at this time. 12/21/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Guinea Bissau: The Quality Education for All Project (P160678) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Substantial Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and High Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Low Low Low Stakeholders High Substantial Substantial Other -- Substantial Substantial Overall High Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To improve the teaching and learning environment in grades 1-4 in targeted schools IN01081508 ►Percentage of teachers who received in-service training under the project with improved content knowledge in Portuguese and Mathematics (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 70.00 Date 31-Jul-2018 01-Jun-2021 01-Jun-2021 31-Oct-2024 IN01081509 ►Percentage of grade 2 students in targeted schools with improved content knowledge in Portuguese and Mathematics (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 60.00 Date 31-Jul-2018 01-Jun-2021 01-Jun-2021 31-Oct-2024 IN01081510 ►Number of Direct Project Beneficiaries (Number, Custom) 12/21/2021 Page 2 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Guinea Bissau: The Quality Education for All Project (P160678) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 313.00 313.00 77,090.00 Date 31-Jul-2018 01-Jun-2021 01-Jun-2021 31-Oct-2024 IN01081531 Percentage of which are female (Percentage, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 47.00 47.00 47.00 IN01081532 Students benefitting from direct interventions to enhance learning (Number, Custom Breakdown) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 73,408.00 Date 01-Jul-2018 01-Jun-2021 01-Jun-2021 31-Oct-2024 IN01081533 ►Students benefiting from direct interventions to enhance learning (Number, Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 73,408.00 Date 01-Jun-2021 01-Jun-2021 01-Jun-2021 31-Oct-2023 IN01081534 Students benefiting from direct interventions to enhance learning - Female (Number, Corporate Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 35,236.00 Overall Comments PDO For this interim ISR, the status of project indicators has not been updated.
