Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Progress toward achievement of the Project Development Objective is rated Satisfactory, with project indicators on track at the time of the mid-term beneficiary survey, and intermediate results indicators either achieved or exceeded in the period since. Support and buy-in from a broad range of Solomon Islands counterparts including communities, provincial governments, line ministries and the police remains strong. The project has consolidated its operations in all four provinces covered in this phase of the project, and work is underway to ensure their sustainability after the project closes, potentially including further development partner support. With the extension of the closing date of the project to June 30, 2021, the Solomon Islands Government has had the additional time necessary to prepare and conduct the beneficiary survey in rural communities of the four participating provinces, and the analysis of the results of the survey is expected to be completed shortly in order to inform the evaluation of the impact of the project.

The resu lts will not be updated until the final beneficiary survey is undertaken, but in keeping with previous ISRs the date specified for 'Actual (Current)' is the date of preparation of the ISR rather than the date when the survey was conducted (November 2016). Details: In Renbel Province, 144 randomly selected people were interviewed across 5 wards. In Makira Province, 143 randomly selected people were interviewed across 5 wards. Details on the survey methodology is available in the documen t "Community Governance and Grievance Management Project Review - February 2017" uploaded to WBDocs. The detailed ca lculation methodology for this indicator is outlined below. Indicator One Calculation Methodology: 1. Estimate population of CO encatchment area from Baseline Survey data: Renbel: 2,189 (1,313 aged 15+) (Total estimated 2015 Renbel Province population: 3,425); Makira: 6,760 (3,839 aged 1 5+) (Total estimated 2015 Makira Province population: 45,787) Comments: 2. Calculate % of encatchment area deemed beneficiaries: Composite of 3 questions from perceptions survey (Q26 What involvement have you had with the CO/VPW?; Q47 How do you feel ab out the work the CO/VPW has been doing in your community?; and Q48 What has been the most positive change in your community du e to the work of the CO/VPW?). Respondents deemed a beneficiary if any one of the three questions has a positive response of a beneficial interaction with a CO. Composite figure calculated at 76% of respondents deemed direct project beneficiaries. 3. Calculate number of direct project beneficiaries: Sum of (Renbel + Makira) encatchment * average project beneficiaries: i . Total Population: 6,801 (8,849 * 76%) ii. Population 15+: 3,915 (5152* 76%) 4. Calculate gender breakdown of beneficiaries: Male / Female Breakdown of 76% average beneficiaries: i. Male: 80.8% ii. Female: 71.2% Baseline (and census) breakdown of population: 51% Male, 49% Female Normalized beneficiaries breakdown (out of 100): 41 Male, 35 Female. Therefore: 46% Female Beneficiaries.

Community Officers recruited and inducted This consists of 10 COs in Renbel; 19 COs in Makira, 15 COs in Malaita and 5 COs in Central. Number of provincial/national public officials visiting communities facilitated by the project Comments: The significant increase in number of officials visiting communities facilitated by the project has again been driven by COVID awareness activities that CGGM has organized or supported. A secondary factor has been the completion of work on and launching of community bylaws in some wards, with provincial and police officials participating in the launches. The additional 595 provincial/national officials visiting communities in this reporting period consists of 140 in Renbel, 45 in Makira, 184 in Malaita and 226 in Central.

This figure is equal to the above number of COs recruited and inducted. Community Officers that achieve a satisfactory rating of performance This is calculated by taking the average of: (1) the community satisfaction rating from the mid-term survey question; and (2) Provincial Government performance assessments of COs (updated at each ISR).
