The project is on course to achieving the project’s objectives of 1. Increase access to affordable and reliable piped water supply in targeted urban centers; and 2. Improve financial viability of the Ghana Water Company Limited. The project includes four components: (i) System expansion and rehabilitation; (ii) Public-Private Partnership Development; 3.

With regard to progress on component 1, rehabilitation and expansion water supply systems have been completed in the Northern Region (Tamale Water Supply System), Upper West Region (Wa Water Supply System) and the Central Region (Dunkwa-on-Offin, and Breman Asikuma Water Supply systems). The rehabilitation and expansion of the water supply systems in the Ashanti Region (New Edubiase and Agona Ashanti Water Supply Systems), the Western Regions (Aboso, Bogoso, Elubo, Prestea and Axim Water Supply Systems) and the Volta Region ( Peki and the District water supply system based on the Volta Lake to Kpando, Sovie, Anfoega, and Nkonya Ahenkro, with extensions to Aveme, Gbefi, Dzigbe,and Kpase village) are about 80-90% completed. The water supply systems in the Ashanti and Western regions may be completed by December 2015. The District water supply system in the Volta region is may not be completed in 2015 as the intake's pontoon may in late January, 2016 for installation. The rehabilitation and expansion of water supply systems in Eastern region (Suhum W/S, Ofoase and Asamankese Water Supply Systems) suffered considerable delays. The contract was terminated in October, 2014 and has been re-awarded to four local contractors to execute the works. Progress to date on the projects is estimated at about 65% completion. It is estimated that the works will be completed in the first quarter of 2016. The rehabilitation and expansion of water supply systems in the Brong Ahafo Region (Berekum Water Supply System) and the Upper East Regions (Bawku and Navrongo Water Supply Systems) are about 80% completed. Delays in procurement of electromechanical equipment which are expected to arrive in January 2016 may delay the completion of works. It is estimated that the works will be completed in the first quarter of 2016. The Project Component (ii) which initially involved the reforms of the Ghana Water Company Ltd. through a Management Contract with a private operator was concluded in 2011. The reforms are however continuing in the Ghana Water Company Ltd. (GWCL), this time in the form of a performance contract (PR). To date the Transaction Advisor contracted to supervise the PR reform process has completed 2 phases of 100-day performance programs with GWCL. The results showed significant increases in revenue in many regional operation centers. The performance programs are ongoing and it is expected the next performance assessment will begin to significant improvement in the levels of the non-revenue water. Following from the previous performance program, performance contracts have been signed between the Board of Directors and Senior management, and between Senior management and the GWCL Regional (operational) Directors to consolidate the gains made so far. Components (iii) capacity building and component; and (iv) severance program; have all been completed. 12/23/2015 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Water Project (P056256) 12/23/2015 Page 3 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Water Project (P056256) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  --  Moderate Macroeconomic  --  --  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  --  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  --  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  --  Moderate Fiduciary  --  --  Moderate Environment and Social  --  --  Moderate Stakeholders  --  --  Moderate Other  --  --  Moderate Overall  --  --  Moderate 12/23/2015 Page 4 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Water Project (P056256) Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  GWCL ratio of revenues to Operation & Maintenance Costs (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 60 1.07 1.07 1.05 Date 30-Jun-2004 09-Mar-2015 15-Dec-2015 31-Dec-2015 PHINDPDOTBL  Improved community water points constructed or rehabilitated under the project (Number, Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 200.00 449.00 500.00 Date 01-Jul-2004 09-Mar-2015 15-Dec-2015 31-Dec-2015 PHINDPDOTBL  New piped household water connections that are resulting from the project intervention (Number, Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 9462.00 10500.00 50000.00 Date 01-Jul-2004 09-Mar-2015 15-Dec-2015 31-Dec-2015 PHINDPDOTBL  Number of people in urban areas provided with access to Improved Water Sources under the project (Number, Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 300000.00 788219.00 550000.00 Date 01-Jul-2004 09-Mar-2015 15-Dec-2015 31-Dec-2015 12/23/2015 Page 5 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Water Project (P056256) PHINDPDOTBL  Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 300000.00 788219.00 550000.00 Date 30-Jun-2004 09-Mar-2015 15-Dec-2015 31-Dec-2015 PHINDPDOTBL  Female beneficiaries (Percentage, Core Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 52.00 52.00 52.00 52.00 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators PHINDIRITBL  A 5 year Management Contract is bid, closed financially and carried out.
