The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve coverage of civil registration of vital events, particularly births and deaths in Lao PDR, with the establishment of a functional electronic civil management information system. The procurement was initiated to obtain the civil management information system software; this process was affected by COVID-19 and the closing date for firms to submit bids is December 15, 2020. Subsequently, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) Department of Citizen Management (DCM) must expedite the process for evaluation of the bids and selection of the appropriate software for implementation. Despite initial delay due to COVID-19, MOHA DCM recruited the Lao Social Research and Services Company in July 2020, completed the baseline household survey data collection in August 2020, and a clean dataset and completion report were delivered in September 2020. Similarly, MOHA has developed a comprehensive Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) strategy. Nevertheless, it will require boarder stakeholder consultation to ensure its successful implementation to generate demand for civil registration services. 12/22/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Lao People’s Democratic Republic Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Project (P167601) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Substantial Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic High High High Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial Substantial Substantial Other -- -- -- Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Improve the coverage of civil registration of vital events IN00937298 ►National birth registration coverage (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 38.70 38.70 38.70 70.00 Date 31-Dec-2019 25-Jun-2020 14-Dec-2020 31-Dec-2024 Numerator is total number of births registered by MOHA;
