No II. SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES The proposed change concerns an extension of closing date of the original IDA grant of $15 million to Burundi (H7740) under the East Africa Public Health Laboratory Project. The project has SDR 2.2 million (US$3 million) in funds available and the proposed extension would allow full disbursement against the originally planned activities. This would be the first closing date extension of 18 months for the grant (from September 30, 2017 to March 29, 2019). It would allow for: procurement of laboratory equipment and material which has been delayed due to late start and implementation of construction works of the new laboratories; completion of masters’ training programs in virology, microbiology and field epidemiology which started in May 2016 and would not be completed until August 2018; and (iii) strengthening culture and sensitivity testing in newly created microbiology service as well as molecular biology. The 18 month extension will ensure that the laboratories are better equipped and functional with qualified personnel and will assure a better diagnosis and surveillance of communicable diseases in Burundi and the sub-region. The mid-term review of August 2016 and the July 2017 supervision mission confirmed the good results to date under the Burundi project. The project is in compliance with fiduciary and safeguard requirements. III.
