Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Gas Network Expansion and Household Connections:(Cost $1195.00 M) Financial Support for Household Connection Charges in Disadvantaged Areas:(Cost $61.20 M) Institutional Strengthening:(Cost $17.70 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 Component 1: Gas Network Expansion and Household Connections: Implementation under this component has been progressing very well until the outbreak of COVID-19. Implementation rate has declined by around 70 percent during January to June 2020, whereby the number of households connected to the natural gas network declined to approximately 50,000 in the first quarter of the year compared to an average of 50,000 to 60,000 connections per month in previous quarters. As of June 2020, the number of household connections in 11 governorates has reached 1.56 million, contributing to around 67 percent of the targeted connections under the Project. Nonetheless, due to the wide geographic spread of the Project, it's critical for the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) to ensure adequate implementation and supervision of Environmental (including Health and Safety) and Social Safeguards instruments. The Project’s progress towards achievement of Project Development Objective (PDO) and the overall implementation progress are rated as Moderately Satisfactory. 7/31/2020 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report EG: Household Natural Gas Connection Project (P146007) Component 2: Targeted financial support to disadvantaged households of Gas Network. The number of households who benefit from subsidized connection fees through the European Union grant started to pick up and is expected to rapidly increase in the coming period. As of June 2020, this number has reached 92,000 out of the targeted 400,000 households. Component 3: Institutional Strengthening to the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and the Gas Regulatory Authority (GasReg) through the European Union grant is greatly advancing. EGAS continues to implement the ambitious schedule required by the Ministry of Petroleum for adopting an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system as a pilot in the oil and gas sector. Deployment continues to be observed with several modules implemented, other modules are still in progress. Also, the technical support to the gas regulator (GasReg) is in progress.
