As a precautionary measure, the Bank suspended all missions to Yemen as of January 23, 2015, closed the Sana’a office as of February 18th. The power struggle between Houthi forces and those loyal to President Hadi further escalated in March 2015 amid deepening political tensions and an uptick in sectarian violence. Following the Houthi advance towards crucial installations in Taiz and Aden, a coalition of ten countries, led by Saudi Arabia, launched a military campaign on March, 26, 2015, with airstrikes aimed at stopping the Houthis from taking more territory. In response to further deterioration of the security environment, on March 26, 2015, management initiated the next level of security plans and arrangements for remaining Sana’a-based staff, including staff relocation within Yemen or evacuation to Cairo. The current political/security situation in Yemen has greatly affected the implementation of the projects, and our portfolio more generally. On February 10, the Bank initiated an assessment under OP7.30 on Bank’s “Dealings with de facto Governments”, which concluded that the security situation had deteriorated to the degree that the Bank was unable to exercise effective management over its projects. Specifically, the Bank’s ability to communicate and coordinate with government counterparts has declined significantly; government counterparts cannot perform their obligations as agreed under the relevant legal agreements; project implementation areas are not accessible; the security environment is inadequate for Bank presence and supervision, making fiduciary monitoring and oversight extremely difficult. In light of this assessment, and pursuant to the legal agreements of IDA credits and grants, and trust fund grants, read together with the relevant provisions of the applicable General Conditions, and Standard Conditions, the Bank has suspended disbursements under the Yemen portfolio, including all IDA Credits and Grants and Grants administered under the Trust Funds as of March 11, 2015. The situation also impacted adversely implementation progress of this project. 11/16/2015 Page 2 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report RY-Rural Energy Access Project (P092211) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Substantial  Substantial Macroeconomic  --  Substantial  Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Substantial  Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Moderate  Moderate Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  Moderate  Moderate Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Percentage recovery of operating cost of RESPs established.
