Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in East and Central Africa Multi-Donor Trust Fund: This is a request for Additional Financing to support the existing ASARECA MDTF (P112600, TF071104). A Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) was established at the World Bank in 2008 to support a program of integrated agricultural research for devel- opment, as described in ASARECA's 5-year OP (2008/09-2013/14). The MDTF is intended to facilitate donor interaction, coordination and harmonization (including harmonization of procedures and formats to be applied by ASARECA), which is essential to effectively and efficiently assist the further institutional development of ASARECA. The project has been under implementation for the past 3.5 years and implementation progress has been satisfactory. Original donor pledges were ex- pected to reach $55 million and this target has been met. New contributions totaling $4 million will be used to scale up the results of existing sub-projects within the remaining timeframe of the grant (19 months). No new activities are planned. Iden- tification completed on 21 May 2012. Environmental Assessment Category B. US$ 5.6 (CDP4). Consulting services to be de- termined.

Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in East and Central Africa Multi Donor Trust Fund: This is a request for an extension of and additional financing for the ongoing Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) (P112600/TF071104). It is currently financed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), UK's Department for International Development (DfID); the Euro- pean Commission (EC); and United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and managed by the Agriculture, Rural Development and Irrigation unit (AFTAI). ASARECA, a sub-regional not-for-profit association has been operating based on a 10 year Strategic Plan (2008-2018) developed to support the sustainable competitiveness of Eastern and Central Africa agricultural research systems through support to prioritized areas of research for development. The strategy was designed to be implemented in 2 five year phases with corresponding Medium Term Operational Plans (MTOPs) which detail implemen- tation of the strategy. The ASARECA MDTF was established at the World Bank in 2008 to support the first phase of the stra- tegic plan, OPI (2008-2013). It has been under implementation for the past 4 and a half years and implementation has been satisfactory. It is scheduled to close on December 31, 2013. Donor support has been very strong for the OPI. Original donor pledges totaled $55 million. This target was not only met, but exceeded following an additional contribution of $5.6 million in the second half of 2012. Total contributions to date have passed $60 million. A number of the MDTF participating donors are in favor of and have recommended a 5 year extension of the MDTF to support a smooth transition to ASARECA' second MTOP (OPII) (2014-2018). The associated proposed Additional Financing would support implementation of OPII. Initial confirmed funding to launch implementation has already been secured from two donors.

Comoros' three islands form one of the smallest African countries. With an estimated 760,000 inhabitants, spread among three islands, the country remains mired in poverty. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is estimated at US$785 and, based on 2004 estimates, about 45 percent of the population lived below the poverty line, an incidence that has probably increased since then . Poverty incidence varies considerably across regions and is typically higher in rural areas and on the island of Anjouan. The primary sector of the economy (mainly subsistence agriculture, a few cash crops, and fisheries) and retail services dominate the economy, representing about one-half and one- fifth of the country's GDP, respectively. Cash crops comprise mainly three high-value export crops-vanilla, cloves and ylang- ylang -and constitute most of the export earnings in goods, equivalent to a mere 4 percent of GDP. The third largest sector is government services, representing about 10 percent of GDP. Despite the potential in tourism, the country has failed so far to tap into the growing role of this sector in the region. With longstanding outmigration, the country benefits from large and July 2020 Africa PAGE 16 growing remittances-at close to 20 percent of GDP-from the Comorian diaspora, mainly in France. The diaspora also repre- sents the main source of visitors from abroad. 2. Confirming a new commitment to reform, the Union of the Comoros adopted a Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) for the period 2010-2014, which was endorsed by partners, including the World Bank.5 The strategy has the following core objectives: (i) stabilize the economy and lay the groundwork for strong and equita- ble growth; (ii) strengthen key sectors by focusing on institution-building and ensuring a broader role for the private sector; (iii) strengthen governance and social cohesion; (iv) improve the health status of the general public; (iv) promote education and vocational training with the aim of developing human capital; and (v) promote environmental sustainability and civilian security. 3. In support of its PRSP, the government has finalized a comprehensive Public Financial Management strategy for the coming decade (2010-19) and adopted a detailed Action Plan for 2010-12. The proposed strategy is organized around four pillars6: (i) modernizing the legislative and regulatory framework and strengthening institutional capacity; (ii) rationalizing budget preparation; (iii) strengthening budget execution; and (iv) increasing transparency through improved internal and external controls. The action plan (the first in a series of rolling triennial plans) provides a detailed, sequenced and budgeted list of actions mapped to specific lead institutions within the administration. Its implementation relies on two committees that include Union and island representatives: The CREF (which acts as a secretariat of the Comité Budgétaire) that is responsible for the implementation as well as monitoring and evaluation of the national PFM reform strategy, and the HASC that is in charge of leading the civil service reform, including management of personnel rosters, new recruitments into the civil service and implementation of the organic frameworks. 4. Notwithstanding this new dynamism for PFM reforms, important chal- lenges remain. The 2007 Public Expenditure and Financial Assessment (PEFA) review rated Comoros at the lowest possible score, on 22 out of 28 key indicators. This evaluation emphasized weaknesses at all levels of public financial management (from formal institutions and procedures to actual implementation and processes), and puts Comoros squarely in the 'lower performance league' of African countries. 5. Major weaknesses contribute to reduce the Government's efficiency in terms of budget preparation, execution, and reporting. Despite recent improvements and efforts to enhance cooperation via the Comité Budgétaire, budget preparation remains nonparticipatory with consultations between Union and Islands fragmentary and unstructured. As a result, the budget is established mainly on the basis of economic and financial constraints, and is largely disconnected from policy priorities. With revenues barely covering wages and recurrent expenditures, there is limited scope for using the budget as a tool for resource allocations. In addition, the budgetary nomenclature is still based on administrative classifications and does not permit establishing a direct link between the budget (preparation and monitoring) and the gov- ernment's policy priorities or tracking priority expenditures through the budget cycle. With respect to execution, the legal and procedural framework is outdated and moreover poorly understood even by those in charge of the administrative phase of execution (credit managers). As a result normal procedures are often circumvented through a proliferation of exceptional procedures and significant gaps appear between budgeted and actual amounts. Thus the informational and authorization functions of the budget are severely undermined. At the Treasury level, serious structural weaknesses were again compounded during the reconciliation period, which saw a breakdown in communication and systems across levels of Government. As a result key public accounts documents are simply never produced. 6. PFM information systems and financial control mecha- nisms are generally rudimentary and obsolete, and lack an integrated financial management information system. Except for the recently implemented ASYCUDA++ for customs operations, the only systems in place are software applications for wage bill calculation and external debt management. 7. Comoros' civil service absorbs an inordinate share of the Government's resources, while delivering poor quality services to the population. During the period of decentralization, most central admin- istrative structures were simply duplicated in each autonomous island (without regard for administrative efficiency or financial sustainability). Correspondingly the civil service roster increased from less than 6,000 in 1999 to some 12,000 in 2008, with a concomitant rise of wage and salaries expenditures from 6.2 to 9 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a loss of insti- tutional memory and a dilution of already scare human resources. Moreover, the often discretionary nature of these appoint- ments has weakened the significance of positions and job descriptions within each public institution. 8. The government has taken steps to improve the effectiveness of public administration and gradually reduce the wage bill, but much remains to be done. The HASC has supervised the establishment of a unified computerized civil service roster (for the Union and Islands) and contracted the development of an integrated civil service and wage management software. It has also carried out a vast review of the existing organizational structures of each administration (cadres organiques) an updated version of which has been adopted by Parliament in 2010 and will be gradually implemented. Nevertheless, there are numerous remaining chal- lenges. For example, the civil service roster will only become a useful management tool once a physical census of all civil servants has been completed to clean up and validate the data. Also, much work is needed to develop feasible strategies for implementing the new organizational structures over time and with due consideration for social consequences. 9. In January 31 2011, the Bank approved a grant in the amount of SDR 1.2 million (USD 1.8 million equivalent) to support the country's PFM and civil service reform programs. The original project development objectives are (i) to increase the efficiency, account- ability and transparency of public financial management and (ii) to improve the management of civil service human resources and wages. The disbursement percentage as of December 18, 2012 is about 67%. 10. A midterm performance review was conducted in March 2012 and followed by s supervision mission in October 2012. Overall, progress towards achieving the PDOs and implementation progress of the activities were found satisfactory. However, the team noted a financing gap of about PAGE 17 Monthly Operational Summary July 2020 $1.5 million to implement the remaining activities of the project, including the PFM information system and the implementa- tion of the recommendations of the HR assessments and reviews (physical census of the civil servants, wages paid by checks, organic frameworks). In addition, the policy dialogue with the Ministry of Finance highlighted the weak macroeconomic man- agement capacities which undermine the country's ability to formulate expenditure policy decisions based on sound assump- tions and data. To address this challenge, the authorities have requested the Bank's support to conduct economic management studies to inform budget preparation processes and sectoral analysis. 12. The purpose of the additional financing is to support the implementation of those activities. More specifically, the additional activities are following: (i) Acquire and roll out a sys- tem covering budget preparation, budget execution, and accounting and reporting; (ii) design and build the required network (LAN and WAN) so that the module could be used by the Treasury services throughout the territory (iii) support the imple- mentation of the HR assessments and reviews (physical census of the civil servants, wages paid by checks, organic frameworks) (iv) economic management studies to inform budget preparation processes and sectoral analysis. 13. Moreover, the original date closing date is set for December 31, 2013. According to the IT master plan, the acquisition and roll out of the budget and accounting system would take up to 18 months. Therefore an extension of the closing date of the parent project is proposed until December 31, 2015. 14. No other changes are proposed to the project's development objectives as the additional activities fit within the originally conceived objectives. Approval completed on 12 November 2013.

Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa MDTF - Additional Financing: This is a request for an extension of and additional financing for the ongoing Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) (P1126840/TF071192). It is currently financed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), UK's Department for International Development (DfID); the European Commission (EC); and The Netherlands, and managed by the Agricul- ture, Rural Development and Irrigation unit (AFTA2). FARA has been operating on a 10-year Strategic Plan (2007-2016) de- veloped to add value to the support provided by the sub-regional organizations (SROs) to strengthen African National Agri- cultural Research Systems (NARS). The strategy was designed to be implemented in 2 five year phases with corresponding Medium Term Operational Plans (MTOPs) which detail implementation of the strategy. Due to delays in obtaining donor funding under the original MDTF, the Strategic Plan period was adjusted to cover the period 2009-2018. The FARA MDTF was established at the World Bank in 2009 to support the first phase of the strategic plan, MTOP I (2009-2013). It has been under implementation for the past three and a half years and implementation has been satisfactory. It is scheduled to close on December 31, 2013. Several of the MDTF participating donors are in favor of and have recommended a 5-year extension of the MDTF (in line with the Bank's revised guidelines on extension of closing dates, April 2013) to support a smooth transition to FARA's second MTOP (2014-2018). The associated proposed Additional Financing would support implementation of MTOP II. Initial confirmed funding to launch implementation has already been secured from one donor.

The NDPHC is scheduled to commission power generation units in three of the NIPP plants at Sapele, Olorunsogo and Alaoji. The units to be commis- sioned will have a combined initial generation capacity of 575 MW. The 3 plants will have a final generation capacity of 1,974 MW upon completion. These plants urgently require executed Gas Sales Supply Agreements (GSAs) with prospective gas sup- pliers and IOCs who have emphasized the need for a payment guarantees to enter into long term supply agreements for the fuel deliveries. In accordance with World Bank PRG guidelines, the Federal Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Federal Gov- ernment of Nigeria is required to nominate parties with whom the World Bank Gan enter into negotiations on PRGs. Therefore, I am writing to request that the World Bank extends the coverage of NEGIP to include NDPHC's NIPP plants and to nominate the NDPHC as a party with whom the World Bank can enter into formal negotiations on the potential provision of PRGs for the individual projects.
