Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Provision of support towards the operationalization of SONATREL s transmission portfolio:(Cost $30.00 M) Strengthening of the National Transmission Grid:(Cost $335.00 M) Project Management Support and Capacity Building:(Cost $10.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO €Moderately Satisfactory €Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) €Moderately Unsatisfactory €Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating €High €Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The implementation of the project continues to be slow, with a total disbursement rate of only 4.7% almost three years after effectiveness of the loan in October 2017. This is due mainly to slow procurement processes. Works related to the Nyom 2 substation and associated transmission lines are expected to start by September 2020, as the contract has been awarded and will be signed by the end of June 2020. SONATREL is operational but still faces financial difficulties linked to the overall situation in the energy sector. The Market code and Connection code were signed, but there is still the risk of non-collection of transmission tariff revenues in the absence of signed contracts with Sonatrel's clients and the need to implement the transmission tariff compensation. 6/29/2020 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Electricity Transmission and Reform Project (P152755) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance €Substantial €Substantial €Substantial Macroeconomic €Substantial €Substantial €Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies €High €High €Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program €Moderate €Moderate €Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and €Substantial €Substantial €Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary €Substantial €Substantial €Substantial Environment and Social €High €High €High Stakeholders €Substantial €Substantial €Substantial Other -- -- -- Overall €High €High €Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Improve the capacity of Cameroon's national electricity transmission network IN00850383 ►Increase in transmission network s wheeling capacity (MW) (Megawatt, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 850.00 Date 07-Dec-2016 10-Jun-2019 15-Jun-2020 31-Dec-2022 IN00850406 ►Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 7,000,000.00 Date 07-Dec-2016 10-Jun-2019 18-Jun-2020 31-Dec-2022 IN00850408 €Female beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target 6/29/2020 Page 2 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Electricity Transmission and Reform Project (P152755) Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 52.00 Improve the efficiency of Cameroon's national electricity transmission network IN00850384 ►Reduction in transmission network losses (percent) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 6.00 6.00 0.00 4.00 Date 07-Dec-2016 10-Jun-2019 18-Jun-2020 31-Dec-2022 IN00850407 ►Reform roadmap fully implemented - including new regulatory framework in place (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target SONATREL fully Value No No No operational Date 07-Dec-2016 10-Jun-2019 18-Jun-2020 31-Dec-2022 Improve the reliability of Cameroon's national electricity transmission network IN00850385 ►Reduction in the hours of power outages that are linked to malfunctions in the transmission system / improvement of transmission system stability - System Average Interruption Duration Index, SAIDI (Hours, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 49.00 49.00 0.00 15.00 Date 07-Dec-2016 09-Nov-2018 18-Jun-2020 31-Dec-2022 Intermediate Results Indicators by Components Provision of support towards the operationalization of SONATREL's transmission activities IN00850410 ►Full accounting and legal separation of ENEO's transmission assets from the holding and their subsequent transfer to SONATREL (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value No Yes Yes Yes Date 07-Dec-2016 01-Jan-2019 22-Jun-2020 31-Dec-2022 IN00850413 ►Completion of SONATREL's organogram, revenue model, and business plan.
