Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

The project implementation activities have advanced with the signing of four key contracts while two other contracts (one works contract and one consultancy contract) to be signed shortly, despite challenges in the last several months due to Covid-19 pandemic. Once this other works contract is signed, the total value of the five signed contracts would be US$230 mill. The land acquisition (LA) process for 12 substations is also progressing well. 2. With project works at sites not yet started due to Covid-19 pandemic and with uncertainty around related restrictions, Mid Term Review (MTR) mission just concluded has agreed to extend the project closing date by twelve months. 3. There is a new law with regard to the installation of transmission tower that will compel PGCB to compensate for the land to be used for the tower base. PGCB management is concerned that the new law will likely to impact the project implementation. The project has 886 such towers across different parts of the eastern region. 12/22/2020 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Enhancement and Strengthening of Power
