Despite the COVID-19 related restrictions and in full compliance with the risk mitigation measures under their respective COVID-19 Emergency Preparedness Plans, all the contractors have been working with the National Transmission Companies (NTCs) in the four countries to fulfill their obligations. They are carrying out design and planning activities at their headquarters, finding creative solutions to enable NTCs to witness factory acceptance tests either through third parties or remotely, dispatching and delivering equipment when possible, and advancing construction at site.. Community Support Program (CSP): The architecture of the community support programs is now in place across the four countries, with the approval of the Pakistan (PK) CSP on June 3, 2020 and its effectiveness in July 2020. Given their Community Driven Development (CDD) nature, the various CSP programs have been mobilized to help with the COVID-19 response and their implementation has been adapted to 12/26/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade Project (CASA-1000) (P145054) effectively support communities across countries, with “soft launch” of activities in The Kyrgyz Republic (KR) and Tajikistan (TJ). Besides, an additional financing of US$21 million was approved by the World Bank in July 2020 for KR CSP to expand the CSP activities to all communities and the Afghanistan (AFG) CSP project has been restructured in November 2020 and US$10 million re-allocated for COVID-19 response. Finally, there are joint missions and increased coordination between the CASA-1000 and CSP projects across countries.

Based on the current schedule, this will likely happen in August 2024. For the transmission lines, it is only when the conductors are strung over towers that we can start counting the number of kilometers constructed. At this stage, it is only in AFG that foundations are being excavated and towers are being erected and no conductor has been strung yet. That is why the number of kilometers of lines constructed has remained unchanged to date.

The operations manuals in Afghanistan, Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan are all developed to ensure compliant and innovative citizen engagement (CE) mechanisms (participatory planning, participatory monitoring Comments: engaging youth, community scorecards and social audits for instance). The operations manuals also include requirements for implementing agencies to measure citizen engagement in the CASA1000 family of projects. A key measure is the share of beneficiaries in the corridor of impact who report that the CSP is an effective response to the local impacts of the CASA1000 Transmission Line.

Reflecting a strong commitment to citizen engagement through benefit sharing with communities living in the transmission line corridor of impact, this financing is significantly higher than originally envisaged (US$70 million in PAD; US$93 million approved), involving US$34 million IDA, and $59 million TF. The Social Global Practice has partnered on the design of the four CSP projects to ensure Comments: that each meets the community-driven approach of the Community Support Program approved by the Board, and each country’s efforts is compliant with the CE requirements, ensuring the feedback loop is closed, and measuring the beneficiary feedback through a number of indicators that will track the perception of communities and the level of their engagement. Overall Comments IR 12/26/2020 Page 6 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade Project (CASA-1000) (P145054) For the converter stations, work is ongoing in Sangtuda (TJ) and access to Nowshera site (PK) will be provided to the contractor in January 2021. Hence, there is no change on the indicators as of today. For the transmission lines, it is only when the conductors are strung over towers that we can start counting the number of kilometers constructed. At this stage, it is only in AFG that foundations are being excavated and towers are being erected and no conductor has been strung yet. For this reason, the number of kilometers of lines constructed has remained unchanged to date. Given their Community Driven Development (CDD) nature, the various CSP programs have been mobilized to help with the COVID-19 response and their implementation has been adapted to effectively support communities across countries, with “soft launch” of activities in KR and TJ. Besides, an additional financing of US$21 million was approved by the World Bank in July 2020 for KR CSP to support all communities with COVID-19 relief and the AFG CSP project has been restructured in November 2020 and US$10 million re-allocated for COVID-19 response.
