The PDO to increase human capacity and improve the performance of Government oversight institutions for the hydropower and mining sectors are largely achieved. The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) capacity building continued to be carried out under various components aiming to strengthen technical knowledge in sector planning and management. Institutional oversight to better govern the hydropower and mining sectors is continuing to improve. All critical technical assistance packages are under implementation – many have been completed and several are near completion - to develop tools and management systems to enhance MEM oversight capacity. Remaining support on dam safety review, and activities related to support on the Laos Vietnam Interconnector (LVI) preparation are also on track to be completed by the project close 4/29/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report TA for Capacity Development in Hydropower and Mining Sector (P109736) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- Substantial Moderate Macroeconomic -- Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies -- Substantial Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program -- Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability -- Substantial Moderate Fiduciary -- Moderate Moderate Environment and Social -- Moderate Moderate Stakeholders -- Substantial Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall -- Substantial Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To increase human capacity in the hydropower and mining sectors IN00683284 ►Percentage of trained GOL staff report medium to intensive use of knowledge and lessons learned from capacity building measures.
