No I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING 1. The State of Assam, like other states in India, has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020. Since the start of the pandemic, state has had more than 450,000 COVID-19 cases with more than 3,900 deaths (as of June 12, 2021). The state has adopted several programs to address this situation; however, additional financial support for implementation of these programs at state and district levels are warranted. Considering this situation, a decision was taken in consultation with key stakeholders including Government of Assam, Department of Economic Affairs, Government of India and the World Bank to use the project’s foreign exchange savings of US$20 million to advance Assam’s COVID-19 pandemic response. This is the main reason for the proposed restructuring. 2. In line with the Government of Assam’s project restructuring request noted in the letter from the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance (DEA) F. No. 4/3/2015-FB.VII dated January 18, 2021, the proposed restructuring would include COVID-19 related activities which would be implemented by the State Health Society under the Department of Health and Family Welfare. These activities would be funded by re-allocation of US$20 million in estimated foreign exchange gains from different project components and will cover incremental operating costs, goods, works and technical assistance activities directly related to the state of Assam’s COVID-19 response program beyond the normal costs covered by the state budget. 3. Overall, despite delays in project effectiveness and other disruptions outside of its control, the Project made good progress in implementation of all components. The project continues to show progressive improvement in disbursements, in part because of strong upturn in project implementation in the beginning of 2020. The recent Midterm review mission found the overall progress in implementation current to be Moderately Satisfactory. One of the more important outcomes of the mission was the agreement between the Government of Assam and the Bank to strengthen the project’s contribution to agribusiness sector transformations through building of capacity and knowledge base for evidence-based policy and investment programs formulation in agriculture and agribusiness sector of Assam. This is the second reason for the project restructuring. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 4. The proposed restructuring introduces new project activities and new disbursement category and involves changes to (i) PDO, (ii) institutional arrangements, (iii) results framework, and (iv) implementation arrangements. 2 The World Bank Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (P155617) 5. Additional Project Activities include new activities “A.4 (iii) strengthening Department of Agriculture’s evidence- based agriculture policy analysis and formulation systems and capacity” under “Component A: Enabling Agri- Enterprise Development” and “C.1. (iii) advancing COVID-19 response in Assam” under “Component C: Fostering Market-led Production and Resilience Enhancement”. The former will support building of capacity of the Department of Agriculture staff in policy analysis, preparation and implementation of rural and agricultural surveys and assessments and training of sector stakeholders in using systematic, evidence-based approach for identification of priority areas for agriculture policy and program support and for planning these policies and programs in detail and will be implemented by existing implementing agencies. The latter will support implementation of the Government of Assam (GoA), Assam Community Surveillance Plan (ACSP) and Assam Targeted Surveillance Plan (ATSP) together with support to operation of isolation quarantine facilities and, COVID- 19 Care Center and support to frontline workers and healthcare staff including provision of meals for patients of approved treatment and quarantine facilities. In addition to frontline workers and healthcare staff this activity could also support supply of personal protective equipment to the population groups deemed to be at a high risk of infection. Additionally, this activity will support actions of the Department of Health and Family Welfare (DoHFW) to strengthen the responsiveness of the health system to future health emergencies including strengthening of disease surveillance, creation of systems for community engagement, ensuring continuity of routine health services during the pandemic and developing plans for future pandemic preparedness. 6. Technical Analysis. The proposed project activities for the COVID-19 response are required to: (i) break the chain of transmission and prevent others from becoming infected; (ii) to provide optimal care to the COVID-19 patients for timely and appropriate treatment and support recovery; and (iii) to provide support to frontline and healthcare workers in effectively delivering care and services to COVID-19 patients and suspected cases. This would contribute to containing the COVID-19 pandemic in the state and preventing deaths. 7. New Expenditure Category and Disbursement Arrangements. Activities under “A.4 (iii) strengthening Department of Agriculture’s evidence-based agriculture policy analysis and formulation systems and capacity” will not require reallocation of funds from other project components or creation of a new category of expenditure. This activity will be funded from within-the-component budget re-allocation agreed at the project’s midterm review and will finance goods, works, non-consulting and consulting services and incremental operating costs covered by the project’s Loan Category 1. Activities under “C.1. (iii) advancing COVID-19 response in Assam” will be funded by US$ 20 million re-allocation from the existing Loan Category 1 to new Loan Category 5. The list of eligible expenditures for this new Loan Category 5 will include goods, works, food expenditure, non-consulting and consulting services, and operational costs directly related to the state of Assam’s COVID-19 response program. This restructuring will also introduce new Loan Category 5 and to finance the agreed share (80%) of eligible expenditure incurred by the state after April 1, 2020. The table under Section IV.A.2 is amended to read as follows: 3 The World Bank Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (P155617) Category Amount of the Percentage of Expenditures to Loan Allocated (expressed be financed (inclusive of in USD) Taxes) (1) Goods, works, non- consulting services, consulting services, Sector Stewardship Council Grants, IA Grants, FPO Grants, CIG Grants, Training, and 164,500,000 80% Operating Costs for the Project (except sub- Component C.1(iii)) (2) Capital Contribution to the Agribusiness 15,000,000 80% Investment Fund (3) Front-end Fee 500,000 Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.07 (b) of the General Conditions (4) Interest Rate Cap or Interest 0 Amount due pursuant to Section 2.08(c) of this Agreement Rate Collar premium (5) Goods, works, consulting services, non- 20,000,000 80% consulting services, Food Expenditure and COVID- Related Operating Costs for sub-Component on or after April 1, 2020 C.1(iii) TOTAL AMOUNT 200,000,000 8. In conformance with the Bank’s COVID-19 emergency health response project in India, the definition of operating costs covered by new Loan Category 5 will be defined as costs incurred towards recurring operational activities, including: (i) the cost of consumables and small value procurements for health facility-level COVID-19 response, including infection prevention, control, and sanitization, regular consumables of medical supplies (excluding vaccines), stationeries, vehicle hiring, and training in response to COVID-19; (ii) communication expenses including COVID-19 helplines and call centers; (iii) preparation and deployment of information, education and communication activities for prevention, treatment and management of COVID-19; (iv) monitoring and tracking of COVID-19 patients at community level by community health workers, and other support provisions to community health workers, including uniform, stationery, mobility and travel support; and (v) other operating expenditures for implementation, management, monitoring and reporting for purposes of Component C.1(iii) of the Project, but excluding: (i) costs for procurement and/or deployment of vaccines, (ii) procurement of assets for healthy facility or state inventory; and (iii) costs of procurement of goods or services that exceed USD 4,000 or more per contract. 4 The World Bank Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (P155617) 9. PDO. The new PDO formulation will include support to COVID-19 pandemic response in Assam as well as geographically wider (state-wide) coverage of the project support. The revised PDO is “to add value and improve resilience of selected agriculture value chains, focusing on smallholder farmers and agro-entrepreneurs and to advance Assam’s COVID-19 response”. 10. Results framework. The revisions in the results framework are proposed to monitor the impact of pandemic control and management activities. The new outcome indicator refers to satisfactory implementation of Assam Community Surveillance and Assam Targeted Surveillance Plans while a new intermediate results framework indicator related to operation of Quarantine and COVID-19 Care Centers in the state. The former will be defined as follows: (i) standard operating procedures for the Surveillance Plans are in place; (ii) orientation of relevant staff and officials is conducted for implementing the Surveillance Plans; and (iii) Surveillance Plans documents linkages to the quarantine centers and COVID care centers. Then latter will be defined as follows: (i) funds are allocated for operations of quarantine and COVID care centers; and (iii) monitoring reports for quarantine and COVID care centers are available. 11. Implementation arrangements. In addition to Assam Rural Infrastructure and Agricultural Services (ARIAS) Society, the existing implementing agency, the State Health Society (SHS), GoA, DoHFW will be responsible for implementing new COVID-19 related activities under the project. SHS is an existing Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established by Government of Assam, which is responsible for implementing the National Health Mission (NHM) and other COVID-19 related interventions in the state. The NHM is a centrally sponsored scheme of the GoI and is the flagship program of the MoHFW aimed at achieving universal access to equitable, affordable, and quality health care services to the citizens. SHS is headed by a Mission Director. The oversight would be ensured by the existing committees of the SHS i.e. Governing Body (GB) chaired by the Chief Secretary, GoA and Executive Committee (EC) chaired by the Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department, GoA. 12. Financial Management arrangements. Financial management (FM) arrangements at SHS, GoA are fully reliant on ‘use of country systems’, i.e. predicated on GoA’s own systems, including accounting and reporting arrangements, internal control procedures, planning and budgeting, external audits, funds flow, organization and staffing arrangements. The SHS has acceptable FM arrangements to account for and report on expenditures under Component C.1.(v) of the project. The details of the FM arrangements are documented in a separate FM assessment note. In addition to interview with the SHS finance specialist and review of secondary documentation, the team also relied on the information obtained during the FM assessment for the India COVID-19 Emergency Response and Health Systems Preparedness Project (P173836) approved last year, which finances part of GoI’s NHM expenditures incurred at the States. GoA’s COVID health response is implemented through the SHS and financed through (i) Grants-in-Aid received under NHM from GoI (referred above); and (ii) State’s own resources. The eligible expenditures under component C.1.(v) of this project will only include activities financed from GoA’s own resources, to avoid any risk of duplicate claims under the two projects. The reporting requirements under the project will apply to the SHS – (i) claims under the Category C.1.(v) will be submitted by SHS using the Interim Unaudited Financial Reports (IUFRs) (formats as part of the assessment note) on a quarterly basis – within 45 days 5 The World Bank Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (P155617) from the close of the quarter; and (ii) annual audit reports (audited by a private Chartered Accountant firm) for the project expenditure reported by the SHS under Category C.1.(v) will be submitted within 9 months from the close of the Financial Year. Retroactive financing for the entire allocation under Component C.1.(v) (US$20 million) will be allowed for reimbursement of payments made by the GoA out of its own resources towards the eligible expenditures for the COVID response in the State during April 1, 2020 – March 31, 2021. There is no change in the FM arrangements at ARIAS for the other project components. 13. Safeguards. The additional project activities will have a positive social impact in terms of curbing the spread of COVID-19 infection, by supporting the operation of quarantine facilities and COVID-19 Care Center; and supplying personal protective equipment to vulnerable population, who are at higher risk of contracting the infection. However, there is a potential risks that health service delivery for pandemic response may not reach all marginalized and vulnerable social groups such as elderly, women, persons with disability, scheduled tribes (ST), scheduled castes (SC), communities living in remote locations (Char areas) and unorganized workers. The project will support the frontline workers and healthcare staff responsible for delivering care and services to COVID-19 patients in the quarantine facilities and COVID-19 Care Center. Thus, the implementing agency should ensure that all workers’ welfare measures in terms of minimum wages, over-time wages for work beyond eight hours, hospital risk allowance, occupational health and safety etc. are adopted in line with the national and state labor laws and rules. The third-party safeguards monitoring to be carried out under the project must analyze: (a) disaggregated information on persons (based on sex, persons with disability, SC, ST, etc.) that have availed health services supported by the project, and (b) welfare measures adopted at the quarantine facilities and COVID-19 center for frontline workers and healthcare staff. The project activities will not involve any private land acquisition. Establishment of isolation quarantine facilities and COVID-19 Care Center will be within the established footprint (existing hospitals/government land) and in the event of any adverse impact on non-titleholders, the risks will be mitigated as per the procedures laid down in the existing Social Management Framework/ Resettlement Policy Framework. 14. Environmental Safeguards: The proposed restructuring introduces two new project activities: (i) advancing COVID- 19 response in Assam under Component C; and (ii) strengthening Department of Agriculture’s evidence-based agriculture policy analysis and formulation systems and capacity under Component A. The activities related to Covid-19 may have impact on the environment because of management of Covid-19 related medical wastes. It is envisaged that the government will establish quarantine centers following ‘Guidelines of Government of India for Quarantine Facilities’. The second new activity will support capacity building and evidence-based support for preparing agriculture policy and plans. As such, these activities may not have direct environmental impacts. While the current Environmental and Management Framework (EMF) remains relevant to the project activities, the EMF will be updated for environmental screening and potential mitigation measures when the specific details of the two new activities are identified and not later than August 1, 2021. 6 The World Bank Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (P155617) III.
