However, implementation of various activities under the Component 1 and 2 (Local Investment Fund and Capacity Building) has been adversely affected by the delay with the official validation of the local election results. To resolve the challenges, the project team and the mission (conducted jointly with the French Development Agency) agreed on an action plan for each of the main delaying activities. Key studies to contribute to institutionalization of capacity and practice of PACV in the new Public Administrative Agency (EPA) and the National Fund for Local Development (FNDL) are expected to be completed in June 2018. While also affected by the local election outcomes, the project team has made progress in setting up their Grievance Redness Mechanisms at the both national and local levels, which will be officially launched in June 2018. The task team is closely following up with the PIU to ensure that the GRM and other Citizen Engagement activities be launched and scaled up in a timely manner. The Mid-Term Review mission is scheduled to take place in September 2018.
