Identified changes, that range from a possible slight revision of the PDO, changes in definition and schedule of some DLIs, Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR15730 revisions of the results framework, strengthening of Project support for social safety net (SSN) administration, and extension of the closing date of the Project, will be used as a basis for the preparation of the Project restructuring paper.
