Some project activities that did not require procurement have already been successfully implemented, such as the training provided to the vendors in the market in downtown Castries (under Component 2 of the project). In addition, hiring of some of the key staff to support project implementation at each Project Coordinating Unit (PCU) has been completed (under Component 4), including hiring of Project Managers, and other PCU staff. Other project activities have not started implementation 9/11/2018 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness (P152117) The project remains at a stage when terms of reference (TOR) are being developed, the Bank is providing no objections, and contracts are signed. Fourteen TORs have now received no objections from the Bank. It is expected that with the completion of procurement processes, implementation of activities towards the objectives of the project will start in the second year of project implementation. The OECS Harmonized Tourism Market Intelligence Data Collection and Analysis Project has successfully been completed and closed. The project has not yet progressed to where results are measurable in the M&E framework.

Moreover, it is not possible to separate the PDO into multiple objectives to then split the indicators and associate them to segments of the PDO, because all aspects of the PDO need to be met for the PDO indicator targets to be reached. (for example, just facilitating the movement of tourists may not and will not lead to an increase in the number of people who take the ferries. The other aspects of the PDO would also need to be reached for this PDO indicator target to be reached).
