Current overall disbursement stands at 69% for the project that will be closing in June 2020. While Component A (Service Delivery Improvement through infrastructure rehabilitation, maintenance, expansion) is almost completed, implementation of Component B (Municipal Management and Deepening Decentralization) needs to be accelerated. Hence, the mission agreed that during the upcoming MTR, (i) suggestions will be discussed to reorient or cancel some component B activities that are no longer valid, while also including new component B activities needed to achieve the project’s objective; and (ii) opportunities will be explored to maximize the project’s impact on the ground through innovation - if additional funding were to become available. Regarding the Bank's Social Safeguards Policies, the mission flagged its concerns that the agreed compensation to some Project Affected People still has not been provided, which - if not remedied - could raises a compliance issue. The mission agreed that the client will produce quarterly progress reports on Environmental and Social Safeguards to improve the traceability of actions undertaken, and to monitor this very closely.
