Despite this restructuring and the cancellation of US $4.12 million from the original IDA grant of US$ 22 millionequivalent, the implementation pace is not adequate to ensure that the Project would be delivered satisfactorily by the planned closing date of September 30, 2015. The implementation delay is related to Yemen’s 2011 crisis, which caused IDA to stop disbursement between July 2011-January 2012, Page 1 of 4 The World Bank Report No: ISR14228 the overall price increase for local goods, works and services after the crisis, and the need to cancel the project’s original round of bidding (for goods, works, services), which had been completed before the crisis, as after the crisis the winning bidders refused to sign contracts based on their original bid prices. In addition, there has been a lack of proactivity by the Taiz-based project implementing unit to speed up project implementation. Public Disclosure Copy The project has been effective for about 44 month now. Commitments currently stand at 88% out of the second restructured grant amount of US$14.18 million, and disbursements stand at US$5.88 million and this represents 32.88% of the second restructured grant of US$17.88 as of March 24, 2014. Construction on the three informal settlements sites are ongoing and progress of works is behind schedule by 26% in AlMaftash; 19% in Madinet Al-Nour and; 20% in Al-Haraziya. On February 23, 2014, a letter was received from the government requesting a second restructuring to cancel all non-performing activities, reverting back the cancelled funds into the IDA grant pool for Yemen. This second restructuring is ongoing and would cancel the following, i.e. in Component 1, the rehabilitation of the Geography Information System (GIS) building, and the social expertise for the ongoing infrastructure investments, and Component 2, the development of a National Framework for Urban Upgrading, and the support for Accounting-based Financial Management Information (AFMIS) in Taiz. For Component 3, the field-based Project Management Units in Taiz will be limited to the Safeguards Specialist with an assistant. Finally, the results framework will be adjusted and closing date moved forward from September 30, 2015 to March 31, 2015, based on the above changes.
