Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component A – Capacity strengthening for the Implementation of Road Safety Action Plan:(Cost $0.80 M) Component B – Improved physical safety of RSDP roads:(Cost $6.67 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Moderate  Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions 6/30/2017 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report ROAD SAFETY SUPPORT PROJECT (P149606) The project will be closing on July 15, 2017. The last review held in March 2017 has assessed that although both the Project Development Objectives (PDO) indicators are progressing well, there is likely some risks that the project may not be achieve 100% target of PDO-1 before its closure date. This PDO indicator is linked to the physical component (Component B- Improved Physical Safety of RSDP Roads) of the Project. It has completed supply of 100% of the crash barrier materials at site however, the installation progress has been slowed down due to the labor shortage issue at the site. The progress till date is approx. 92% and it is likely that 100% installation may not be possible within the project period. The World Bank and the government team are working closely together in an effort to complete the planned activities on time. Most of the activities under component A (capacity strengthening for the implementation of road safety action plan) have been implemented. Few remaining ones are at their final stage and will be completed on time. Out of the two activities taken under the pilot road safety, one (Siddhartha highway) is successfully completed however, another one (Pokhara urban pilot) has been dropped out from the Bank financing due to the non-performance issue of the contractors. The preparation process of the Implementation Completion and Results (ICR) report will begin soon. The set target for the delivery of the report is January 2018. During the review, it has also been agreed by the Government of Nepal to prepare a client ICR which is targeted to be shared with the Bank by January 2018.
