A joint WB, AIIB, and NDF implementation support mission was conducted during June 4-17, 2021. As of May 2021, the overall physical progress achieved is 31.11%. Disbursement made so far has been limited to only a 10% advance payment, as no milestone has been fully completed. The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the delivery of planned milestones under the Output and Performance-Based Road Contracts and overall implementation progress is approximately four months behind the schedule. The contractor’s performance has also been a factor in exacerbating the delays. The contractor needs to improve site management, mobilize additional key qualified personnel and equipment to catch up with the work program. Good progress is made on the implementation of RAP and land acquisition. As of May 31, 2021, a total of 684 grievances were recorded, mostly related to road safety concerns, dust dispersion, and slow work progress. The mission was informed that 670 of these grievances have been addressed and 14 grievances would be addressed by June 30, 2021. 6/28/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Lao National Road 13 Improvement and Maintenance (P163730) Road safety and traffic management need to be further improved.
