No Components Table Name Component A: Expansion of access to basic services in rural areas:(Cost $45.50 M) Component B: Implementation support, supervision, and monitoring & evaluation:(Cost $6.00 M) Component C: Capacity building and sectoral technical assistance:(Cost $8.50 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project was approved on September 17, 2015 and became effective on September 21, 2016. Since January 2017 (when implementation started), the sustainability mechanism (technical, institutional and financial arrangements) of the rural electricity and water services has been validated but not implemented. For component A The bid evaluation of procurement package of water services has been finalized. However, contract cannot be concluded without implementation of the sustainability mechanism, which is a disbursement condition for investments of the Project. The procurement package for rural electrification services has been finalized and launched proposals are expected by end of January 2019. 1/18/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Access to Basic Services in Rural Areas and Capacity Building Project (P144135) The implementation of component B, which finances the activities of management, supervision, communication and project monitoring and evaluation (M & E) is satisfactory.
