Moreover, as the project is at its initial stage of implementation, activities were mainly focused on finalizing its implementation arrangements, namely: (i) the finalization of the recruitments of the additional Project Coordination Unit’s (PCU) staff including the Administrative ad Financial Director (DAF), the Procurement Specialist and the Accountant; and (ii) the signing of the contracts with the executing agencies, UNOPS (for the implementation of component 2 relating to rural public infrastructure ) and WHH (for the implementation of the Sub-component 3.1 relating to support for the MADR intervention mechanism (ACDA, ICRA, ANE, FNE, CNA, among others), especially in terms of seeds and extension services). Both Agencies have started developing their plans to start concrete activities toward the Project 11/23/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report CAR-Agriculture Recovery and Agribusiness Development Support Project (ARADSP) (P165855) beneficiaries. The remaining actors which recruitment process is ongoing are the three NGOs which have to implement the project's component 1 aiming to support value chains development under CDD approach with a matching-grant contribution requirement from the beneficiary groups. As next step, now that the PCU staffing is complete and contracts with the implementation agencies signed, it was agreed that the focus should be made on the launching of the concrete field activities for each technical component. And this should be reflected in the AWP&B 2021, under preparation, and for which the mission recommends a submission of the first draft to the World Bank by early November 2020 at the latest.
