Disbursements have been suspended over a few months due to fiscal tightening and expenditure limits placed on internationally- financed projects. This has disrupted the continuity of work of some consultants, causing delays. In addition, under Component D (Emergency Response) two contractors have been Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR8726 unable to deliver pumps for drainage stations in Cas and Tale during the critical rainy season. All project counterpart agencies are working diligently to rectify problems and strong commitment has been consistently demonstrated over the last six months of the year. The Project Steering Committee that exercises oversight for land registration activities under Component A has been highly effective and actively supported by its chair, the Prime Minister. Modest progress has been made on results indicators, including an increasing number of registered properties under Component A, completion of more than 50% of the works contracts under the Emergency Response, and delivery of training in capital investment Public Disclosure Copy planning to several participating municipalities under Component C.
