After harmonizing the technical instruments, the first harmonized survey has been implemented successfully in all eight countries. Harmonized and comparable micro-data have been produced for the eight countries. Poverty numbers based on the harmonized methodology have also been produced and validated by the World Bank team and the Steering Committee of the project. Anonymized micro-data are supposed to be disseminated in July 2020, one year after the end of data collection. When this is done, they will allow rich analytical work at the country level, and at the sub-regional level, for example the specific issues of the Sahelian countries. In addition, the project is having positive externalities as several non-beneficiary countries have adopted the same type of survey, including among others Burundi, Chad, Guinea, Republic of Comoros, Republic of Congo, Gabon, Sao-Tome and Principe, etc. Many of these countries have also benefited from capacity building events organized by the project. 6/30/2020 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report REGIONAL PROGRAM TO HARMONIZE AND MODERNIZE LIVING CONDITIONS SURVEYS (P153702) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Substantial Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Low Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Substantial Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and High High Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Low Low Low Stakeholders Low Low Low Other -- Substantial High Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Build Capacity through Survey Harmonization, Data Collection and Dissemination IN00860237 6/30/2020 Page 2 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report REGIONAL PROGRAM TO HARMONIZE AND MODERNIZE LIVING CONDITIONS SURVEYS (P153702) ►WAEMU member countries which completed the collection of harmonized living conditions surveys that made the anonymized micro-data available to the public through the WAEMU website (*) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 25.00 85.00 Date 17-Apr-2016 15-May-2019 18-Jun-2020 15-Apr-2021 IN00860239 ►WAEMU member countries that completed a 2nd living conditions survey according to harmonized, regional standards (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 7.00 Date 17-Apr-2016 15-May-2019 18-Jun-2020 15-Oct-2021 Enforce the Use of the harmonize Survey IN00860238 ►Adoption by the WAEMU’s Council of Minister of a ruling committing all member countries to apply WAEMU living conditions survey standards with respect to methodology, contents and periodicity (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value No No No Yes Date 17-Apr-2016 15-May-2019 15-May-2019 15-Oct-2021 Overall Comments PDO As for the first indicator, it is relevant to note that the micro-data have been produced.
