I. SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES

 The CASA1000 Community Support Project for Tajikistan (CSP) includes US$2 million in co-financing from the
 CASA1000 Multi-Donor Trust Fund as a Recipient-Executed Trust Fund (RETF) grant. The Grant Agreement for the
 CASA1000 Community Support Project for Tajikistan/co-financing Recipient Executed Trust Fund grant was declared
 effective on April 30, 2020. The implementing agency - the National Social Investment Fund of Tajikistan (NSIFT) - has
 prepared the CSP Project Operations and Sub-Grant Manuals and has recruited key positions to the Project
 Implementation Unit and is in final stages of selection of a Training and Facilitating Partner to support community
 mobilization, social accountability and governance capacity building activities. Project launch activities at community
 level are planned by September 30, 2020.

 The purpose of this restructuring is to extend the closing date of the CASA-1000 MDTF RETF grant (TF0A9568) until
 March 31, 2022.

 The closing dates for the IDA and CASA-1000 MDTF financing of the Community Support Project were originally
 intended to be aligned. However, at the time the Project was processed, the CASA-1000 MDTF had not been
 extended. Thus, the CASA1000
 MDTF grant of US$2.0 million was signed with an earlier closing date than the IDA financing. Since the CASA-1000
 MDTF, the parent trust fund, has now been extended, the closing date of the CSP RETF grant can also be extended to
 better align with IDA CSP’s implementation schedule.
