The implementation progress is rated as moderately satisfactory and progress towards achievement of the project development objective is also rated moderately satisfactory. Approximately 13,000 households in Mpasa and Malweka (in Kinshasa) and over 2,500 households in Nyrangongo (in Goma) have been provided access to grid electricity services. A number of off-grid solar companies have been provided with subsidies to install more affordable solar home systems in selected off-grid areas. In the Kinshasa's commune of Kimbanseke, contractors are deploying a medium voltage network for the electrification of selected neighborhoods, whereas, in Kinshasa's Western and Central communes, recruited contractors have finalized their implementation studies for the rehabilitation of the distribution network. Delays have been observed in the rehabilitation of the distribution network in Gbadolite (capital city of the Nord Ubangui Province), for which measures are being put in place to accelerate implementation. Communication campaigns are being held to inform targeted communities of ongoing or upcoming work. Local community cells have been set up and trained to address community complaints. 5/27/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC Electricity Access & Services
