Since the August 2020 MTR, the PIU has doubled the number of ongoing (contracted) activities. However, delays remain largely due to the time taken for preparation of the ToRs followed by time for proposal evaluation, presenting a risk to the achievement of the development outcome. Ongoing and future (to be contracted) GESTIP activities are aimed at strengthening the capacity of the energy sector to implement sector reforms and improve energy sector planning and coordination in Ghana; the activities are essential to the implementation of the Energy Sector Recovery 4/26/2021 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ghana Energy Sector Transformation Initiative Project (P163984) Program (ESRP), dedicated to improving sector finances, and are also key inputs to the forthcoming Program for Results operation under preparation. There are funds not yet earmarked, but the Steering Committee is expected to approve the final set of activities to be financed under GESTIP by June 2021.
