The implementation progress is moderately satisfactory. Households electricity connections are underway in Goma and Kinshasa (Mpasa and Malweka neighborhoods). Works have also commenced to electrify selected neighborhoods in Kimbaseke, a densely populated commune in Eastern Kinshasa. Contractors are mobilized to rehabilitate and expand segments of the Western and Central Kinshasa distribution network. Delays are noticed for the rehabilitation of the distribution network in Gbadolite (capital city of the Nord Ubangui Province), and measures are being put in place to accelerate implementation. Communication campaigns are being held in the project areas. Local community cells were set up and are operational. 11/19/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC Electricity Access & Services Expansion (EASE) (P156208) Risks
