CARIBBEAN REGION Introduction The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY10 provides information on all IBRD/IDA, and trust funded projects that were active as of June 30, 2010. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes. 1 In addition to the project progress description, the FY10 SOPE report contains project level comparisons of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date. 1 Notes: Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project. Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions. Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph. ii STATUS OF PROJECTS IN EXECUTION FY10 LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN REGION Andean Countries Project Name (ID): 6A GEF-Adaptation to the Impact of Glaci (P098248) Country: Andean Countries Board Approval Date: 05/27/2008 Closing Date: 09/30/2012 Loan/Credit/Grant Number: TF-91712, TF-90328, TF-56694 Sector (s): General water, sanitation and flood protection sector (36%), General agriculture, fishing and forestry sector (27%), General public administration sector (21%), Water supply (12%), Forestry (4%) Theme (s): Climate change (67%), Biodiversity (33%) Project Development Objectives: The development objective of the project is to strengthen the resilience of local ecosystems and economies to the impacts of glacier retreat in the Tropical Andes through the implementation of specific pilot adaptation activities that illustrate the costs and benefits of adaptation. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The progress towards the development objective of this regional project of the Andean Community is mixed. Peru has made progress in the design of pilot adaptation projects, which are expected to start implementation soon. In Ecuador, Quito's water supply and sanitation authority is involved in the design of an adaptation pilot on water supply. Bolivia has experienced a number of administrative and legal issues that have held up project implementation. The project has purchased eight high-altitude glacier monitoring stations, which will be installed soon in the participating countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru). Some progress has been achieved in capacity building and scientific knowledge dissemination: scientists of the meteorological and hydrological institutes have been trained by the Meteorological Research Institute in Japan to produce climate change scenarios with high resolution. Countries have also received satellite imagery from the Japanese Space Agency in order to make an assessment of glacier retreat over the past years. Key issues to be addressed by the General Secretariat of the Andean Community and the participating countries in the forthcoming mid-term review of the project have to do with the need to accelerate project implementation, increasing the regional dimension of the project, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the adaptation measures as well as the monitoring network of glacier retreat.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project performed beyond expectations, largely exceeding the initial Project Development Objective of reducing 1,612 tons of Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS). Until now, an estimated 2,778 tons of ODS have been eliminated since 1997 in Argentina as a result of project activities. Although, as of July 18, 2010, almost 97% of the grant has been disbursed, the government has requested an extension to the closing date and an additional financing for a subproject involving a further reduction of 109 tons of ODS, in the sector of Metered-Dose Inhalers manufacturing. This amendment to the grant agreement is being processed. This change in the project was already approved by the Project Sponsor (the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol).

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The additional financing is US$50 million. The goal of the additional financing was to scale up the original project activities (i.e. the original development objectives remain the same). Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project is making strong progress towards achieving its development objectives. As of June 2010 the project has benefited nearly 6,600 rural households and 1,700 schools and public buildings in rural areas. It has installed almost 6,000 residential power systems of which 80% are powered by solar energy and 20% by wind; electrified 1,600 schools by equipping them with solar power; and constructed 187 solar water heating systems and 22 mini-grids serving 1,800 users in total. Contracts to equip another 1,700 households with solar home systems, 174 schools with solar power, 179 public buildings and 89 solar water heating systems have been signed and are under implementation.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 A project restructuring paper was approved in June 2010 to trigger the Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP 4.12) so that the operation can develop the appropriate mechanisms to manage and prepare for resettlement issues that may arise under implementation. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Project remains on course to meet the development objective, though not without considerable delays in implementation. The project succeeded in committing 100% of Loan proceeds under Subsidiary Agreements yet disbursements still lag behind targets. A total of eight provinces are now participating in the project, thereby opening the way for significant advancement in implementation during 2010.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The closing date of the Additional Financing Loan (7442-AR) to this project was extended for one year until June 30, 2011. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): After more than 13 years, the loan has reached all of its Project Development Objectives (PDO). With respect to PDOs (a) and (b) above, the underground Line A works are 99% complete, with all of the contracts except one already completed. As a result, Line A improved its efficiency as measured by more patronage, less train trips traveled, and more veh-km covered. The indicator of reliability however has not been improved, as there have been 825 interruptions while in the base year there were 377; however, it is impossible to distinguish labor action related interruptions from technical ones. Regarding PDO (c), 12 underpasses have been completed or are being finalized. The number of accidents has been reduced from 519 in the base year to 130; deaths from 12 to 4 per year; and injuries from 329 to 110 per year. Regarding PDO (d) the project is contributing by having built a transfer center in Moreno, and improving accessibility to 35 suburban railway stations in the Buenos Aires region and improving the planning capability of the Secretariat of Transport. Finally PDO (e) which was added in the Additional Financing of this loan, includes the improvement of the urban transport sector in medium size cities. This is well underway as 5 cities are conducting origin-destination surveys, transport planning tools and master plans.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project did not reach its implementation targets in fiscal year 2010. Out of the US$40 million IBRD funding, US$7 million were contracted instead of the foreseen US$12 million. However, significant progress in the production and frequency of procurement documents has been observed for the last nine months. Regarding development objectives, there is no project impact to measure, given the level of implementation and the absence of results. Given the above mentioned comments and the proximity of the closing date (September 30, 2010), a project restructuring-extension of 18 months is being proposed.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 On January 12, 2010 the Board of Directors approved an Additional Financing loan for US$175 million to overcome the impact of the unforeseen cost increases evidenced in the road sector since mid 2004. Together with the Additional Financing: (a) the closing date of the original loan was extended until June 30 2015; (b) the intermediate outcome indicators for the civil works components were reduced; (c) technical assistance activities in support of provinces not eligible under the civil works component were excluded; and (d) routine maintenance activities were excluded. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Six Provinces have signed the required Subsidiary Agreements to participate in this Program (Cordoba, Corrientes, Santa Fe, Entre Rios, Chubut and Neuquén). So far, on the works component eight CREMA contracts (covering 1,106 km) and a 40 km-long rehabilitation contract have been awarded and are currently being executed. Routine maintenance programs are still being carried out on a yearly basis by the participating Provinces with their own funds. As a result, roughness measurements on the provincial networks indicate that road assets are being preserved with acceptable average roughness (IRI below 3) to avoid accumulation of future liabilities and reduce operational costs. Although some actions have been taken under the institutional strengthening component, its implementation is lagging behind targets.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made strong progress towards achieving its development objectives, which can be observed through the following: The number of first grade students in rural primary education schools without any initial education has decreased from 15,054 in 2004 (baseline) to 9,594 (2008). The transition rate from 7th grade (last grade in primary school) to 8th grade (first grade in secondary school) slightly increased in the rural areas from 77.8% in 2004 to 78.6% (2008). The average completion rate of the first three grades of primary education increased from 82.3% in 2004 to 86.1 percent (2008). In terms of activities, the training for multi-grade primary teachers is under implementation and training has been provided to teachers of about 10,237 rural schools. This training covers the use of the basic didactic materials and teaching equipment provided by the project. About 79 civil works have been completed, another 20 are under execution and about 193 are to be contracted to qualified firms. There are another 394 civil works in the pipeline. The maintenance fund has been already distributed to 10,237 of the 15,466 rural schools included in the project's target area.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has achieved most of its development objectives. During project implementation, the infant mortality rate in the 9 provinces have been reduced from an average of 25/1,000 live births (end of 2003) to 14.9/1,000 live births (end of 2007). As of March 2010 coverage of the eligible population was 80% on average with more than 535,000 active beneficiaries in the 9 provinces. Although the goal of reaching 86% of the target population in December 2009 was not achieved (it reached 76%), the coverage goal for December 2010 is 89%, which is likely to be met due to implementation of the Universal Family Allowances program. The benefits from this program are conditioned on enrollment in Plan Nacer.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress on the first component (the expansion and strengthening of the competency-based training and certification system) and the fourth component (which includes strengthening of the management information system) has been strong. In the case of the first component, actual performance has exceeded most of the intermediate indicator targets set out in the Project Appraisal Document, meaning that there are substantial advances in the establishment of a competency-based training and qualifications system. For example, 246 competency-based occupational norms have already been registered, compared to the target of 300 by the end of the project. Nearly 155,000 workers have already participated in competency-based training courses, compared to the project target of 250,000. About 31,500 workers have been certified at this point, compared to the end of project target of 70,000. In the case of the Youth Employment component, 110,000 youth have registered for the program in 119 municipalities in 17 provinces. Progress on identifying services for youth is advancing well, but the linking of youth to internships is still in the early stages: only 2,412 youth have participated in an internship so far.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project continues to make progress toward achieving its development objectives. A total of 14 Rehabilitation and Maintenance (CREMA) contracts covering some 2,300 km are being financed with loan proceeds while 19 additional contracts covering about 3,000 km have been procured and are being implemented with local funds, thus moving forward towards reaching the Project's main objective of gradually expanding the CREMA system to at least 16,700 km of the paved-non concessioned network (currently 12,200 km are under CREMA, which represents about 75% of the expected target). As a result, the most recent and available roughness measurements on the national paved not concessioned network indicate that road assets are being preserved with acceptable average roughness (Roughness Range (IRI) below 3.5) reducing the rehabilitation backlog, avoiding the accumulation of future liabilities and reducing operational costs (the percentages of roads in poor condition (IRI>5) has been reduced to 2%). Even though some progress has been achieved under the Bridge Restoration, Road Safety and Institutional Strengthening components, the original implementation pace is lagging behind targets.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Province of Cordoba has made significant progress under the civil works components having procured five (out of six) road paving projects covering a total length of 125 km, and one (out of three) performance-based road rehabilitation and maintenance contracts (CREMA) covering 136 km. The Province has also significantly advanced the execution of activities under the institutional strengthening component, which have resulted in improved planning in the sector, and more emphasis on monitoring performance targets at the different ministries involved, and dissemination of performance reports. Under this component, there has also been a significant improvement in the Province's management capacity in road safety, which has translated in a significant reduction in deaths derived from road accidents. The Province is currently conducting a mid-term impact evaluation, the results of which will be shared with the Bank in the next supervision mission. This study will show the development impact of the project in terms of reduced costs for road users, regional economic growth in the areas of intervention (increased economic activity, increased tourism), enhanced results-oriented management capabilities in the provincial government, among other indicators. The indicators of progress towards the achievement of outcomes show excellent progress in reaching the end-of-project targets (with only the number of kilometers satisfactorily under maintenance somewhat behind--though still attainable).

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made very good progress towards achieving its development objectives. The goal of committing half of the funds destined to provincial sub-projects by the end of the first year of loan effectiveness was met two months ahead of time. The project is currently on pace to allocate the remainder of the loan funds earmarked for provincial sub-projects by the end of 2010. Also, new instruments being supported by this second phase of the project, like non-reimbursable support for private-sector field investments (complementary to public-sector investments) and the regional development initiatives are also proceeding well and should contribute to leveraging the impact of project activities. In addition, the project is also delivering on the goal of expanding on the number of provinces receiving Bank support, as the current Bank- financed portfolio of approved provincial sub-projects includes initiatives in nine provinces, up from the seven that received Bank support during the previous phase of the project.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards meeting the development objectives has been good. The monitoring indicators have evolved in the expected direction and pace in almost all areas, and in several cases the end of 2010 targets will likely be exceeded. A few examples of the progress being made include: (a) 7,160 participants exiting the program annually into formal employment; (b) 27.4% of the beneficiaries of the Training and Employment Insurance Program (Seguro de Capacitacion y Empleo - SCE) are receiving monthly Employment and Training Services; and (c) 76.2% of the total payments made under the Family Allowances Program (Asignaciones Familiares - AF) to salaried workers in the private sector are being made through the National Unique System of Family Allowances (SUAF). The SCE now covers more than 120,000 beneficiaries who can access the SCE Services through 262 Employment Offices distributed throughout the whole country, and more than 620,000 firms have been registered in the SUAF. As a result, $2.6 million of Child Allowances benefits payments are being processed monthly through SUAF and almost 900,000 SUAF beneficiaries are receiving their transfers directly in their bank accounts.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made significant progress in the epidemiological surveillance program. Efforts are underway by the Ministry of Health to strengthen routine HIV surveillance with assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The 2008 surveillance report has been completed which provides the country with evidence to better understand the nature of the epidemic and target cost effective interventions to the Most at Risk Populations (MARPs). A Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Assessment will be conducted in 2010 to gauge progress in the rollout of the M&E system, partner perception, readiness and training needs. The National HIV/AIDS Commission continued its program of capacity building for technical assistance to both government agencies and civil society organizations through a regular training program. To date the program has trained 649 people in prevention, 87 in care and support, 195 in M&E, and 113 in treatment. Challenges remain regarding the pace of implementation of the project partly due to the constraints the economic downturn posed to Barbados as part of the global recession.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Rehabilitation of over 353 Km of roads have been completed, improving the transitability and reducing transport tariffs per ton and per passenger (the Road Agency has registered an average increase in the number of trucks of about 20% and an average reduction in tariffs per ton of about 30%). Some additional 180 km of roads in the Beni region that were affected by the floods that severely impacted the country in early 2007 are being rehabilitated, although at a slower pace than expected. The periodic maintenance program, albeit with some delays, is coming to an end with 895 km of roads that have been resurfaced and some additional 430 km under execution. The coverage of the routine maintenance program with micro enterprises and firms has increased with cost-efficiency gains (the Road Agency estimates show that the percentage of national roads in good condition has increased from 19% to about 40%). The Pilot component of rehabilitation of secondary (departmental) roads has been moving ahead slowly with one bridge rehabilitated and three additional rehabilitation works currently under execution. Progress on the institutional strengthening and technical assistance components has been limited with an important drawback on the road safety activities, which have been dropped due to contractual issues.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The project was restructured in April 2010 to facilitate implementation of the credit line for land access, and to broaden the menu of land access options available to project beneficiaries. Specifically, the delivery mechanism of the line of credit was changed by eliminating the financial intermediation of Banco de Desarrollo Productivo, and allowing provision of credit directly through first-tier commercial financial institutions; and the menu of land access options was expanded beyond land purchase by adding land leasing, rights of land use, and community shares in indigenous peoples' lands. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards development objectives is good. With the assistance of the project, 52 Productive Associations (PAs) have been established, benefitting 458 poor families or over 2,000, mainly indigenous people. These PAs have accessed 28,000 hectares of land through piloting of new mechanisms. In these lands, PAs are implementing new agricultural activities for which approximately US$1.5 million has already been committed.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Project implementation has continued to be delayed. Though the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program for pregnant women and children under 2 years old to combat chronic malnutrition was launched nationwide more than a year ago, it continues facing serious implementation difficulties. After 17 months of credit effectiveness, disbursement conditions that would allow the payment of the transfer to beneficiaries have yet to be fulfilled. The high turnover of authorities and technical staff at the Ministry of Health (MoH) has prevented a sustained follow up of agreements and is undermining the capacity to execute the program. The team and the MoH have agreed on an action plan to cope with the major bottlenecks of the program. The program to enhance the employability of low income youth living in targeted urban and peri-urban municipalities (Component 2) has made important progress. The pilot phase has been successfully completed in 4 cities. The launch of the expansion phase of the program in 6 cities (with credit proceeds) is expected for mid- September.

In addition, this phase introduced a multi-actor targeting strategy to focus critical interventions on Bolivia's most vulnerable populations. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Given several changes in the Ministry of Health (MOH) team, the project implementation is still delayed. The project completed and submitted to the National Fund for Social and Productive Investment three sub-projects for the rehabilitation of three primary and secondary level referral networks in peri-urban areas (2 in La Paz and 1 in Santa Cruz). Regarding the method to identify the gaps for the referral networks in the interventions areas, the MOH authorities decided to implement this activity through a rapid assessment at the local level to accelerate the project implementation, due to a need to strengthen the supply side for a better provision of services in advance of the launch of the new Universal Health Insurance.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project will support an integrated and participatory approach to sustainable water resource management in the Brazilian Amazon River Basin, which will produce both global environmental benefits and support local sustainable development. Unfortunately, establishing implementation arrangements and assuring participation of stakeholders in the Amazon has been delayed due to institutional challenges. Executive Coordination responsibility was transferred from the Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) to the Brazilian Institute for Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA). However, a strike of technical staff at IBAMA and the Ministry of Environment (MMA) significantly delayed implementation in the spring and summer of 2010, and the full transition of coordination has not yet been completed. Nonetheless, progress is being made towards sharing resource management experiences with stakeholders in Amazon sub-basins and increasing the number and diversity of productive and commercial sector representatives participating in consultations: major stakeholders from the sub-basins and representatives from the target sectors have been identified and are participating in diagnostic consultations. Finalizing the management arrangements is currently the key priority, and once this is completed implementation will accelerate in the target areas of improving management of freshwater and riparian areas and increasing the area covered by integrated management arrangements in the Amazon River Basin.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has continued to make progress towards achieving its development objectives. The Family Health Program (FHP) has been the Ministry of Health's flagship program and main strategy for extending primary care, defining health priorities, and ultimately, improving health outcomes at the municipal level. Participating municipalities reported an infant mortality rate of 13.9/1,000 which exceeded the target of a 5% reduction per year. However, visits per capita decreased from 1.4 to less than 1, failing to reach the target of 1.5. Coverage of the Brazilian population by the FHP continues to increase, but at a slower pace when compared with the first phase of the Project. In June 2010, 177 (96%) municipalities were eligible to benefit from the project, and all states, except for São Paulo, had sent their expressions of interest to the Ministry of Health. The Sao Paulo situation will be re-assessed after the October 2010 elections. The Project closing date was extended by 12 months, before loan signing, to March 30, 2013.

This would be accomplished by enhancing the environmental management capacity of institutions at the Federal, State, Federal District and Municipal levels and by demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted sub-projects focused on defined priorities. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Project, now in its second phase, is advancing towards achieving its development objective. A detailed baseline study is currently underway to be able to measure indicators of environmental reforms in participating states and increasing capacity for environmental management. Two states met eligibility criteria to participate in the Project and nine more states are set to be approved in August 2010. A cooperation agreement between the Brazilian Institute for Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA) and the states on an environmental licensing system is in the advanced discussion stage. The cooperation agreement for solid waste management at the state level is also nearly finalized. In addition, the project is also supporting the strengthening of forest legislation which will be approved by the states.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 Additional financing (AF) for this project in the amount of US$461 million was approved by the Board on April 6. The additional loan increased the Bank's financial support to project activities defined in the Eligible Expenditure Programs (EEPs), some of which could otherwise be postponed and possibly not fully implemented due to a financing gap arising from unanticipated circumstances related to the global financial crisis. It will also contribute to financing scaled-up activities that would enhance the impact of the project by mainstreaming into the Government's Program a rural poverty reduction project that was previously supported by the Bank through a specific investment loan which was due to close in July 31, 2010. The original project was thus also restructured to introduce a new Eligible Expenditure Program, trigger additional safeguard policies, change the financing percentage and introduce new and modify existing Disbursement-Linked Indicators. No changes were made to the original Project Development Objectives. The AF was requested by the Borrower in order to consolidate the original objectives of its results-based management reform. It is expected that by the end of the additional financing period, the Government's ambitious management system will have been significantly improved and consolidated. In particular, the proposed additional financing is expected to help strengthen the Government's result-oriented brand of public sector management and contribute to increase its sustainability through business and political cycles. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made significant progress towards achieving its development objectives. Disbursements have reached US$ 843.52 million or 86.4% of total loan amount. The Government has met most of the targets set for 2009, with the exception of one indicator in Education (literacy levels have not been progressing as expected, despite great efforts by the Government). In particular, the Government of Minas Gerais is on track to meet most of the goals agreed with the Bank in terms of achieving improvements in fiscal quality (e.g. the share of strategic projects in total expenditures increased 24% between 2007 and 2008), adopting innovations in public sector management (e.g. State Secretariats in the sectors covered by the project have successfully implemented the results agreements signed with the Governor), and strengthening its system of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for results (e.g. three impact evaluations of strategic programs are underway with Bank technical support). In the other sectors supported by the project, examples of the results already achieved include: a) improved early literacy: in 2009, 76% of eight-year old students registered in state schools were at the expected reading level in the third year of elementary school versus 65% in 2007, and improved literacy among those over 15 years of age, with the illiteracy rate reduced to 8.6% in 2008 from 11.7% in 2001; b) Improved health services: 31 hospitals under the responsibility of the State Hospital Foundation assessed in respect of quality- of-care standards by an independent organization in 2009 versus none in 2007, and reduced child mortality to 19.7% in 2008 from 21.4% in 2000.; c) improved business environment as illustrated by the reduction of the number of days to start a business, from 26 in the state capital in 2007 to 11 in 2009; d) Improved paved-road network: 87% of municipalities in the State with paved access in 2009 against 83% in 2007.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Project is on schedule to meet its development objectives. The contract for the 30 trains to be purchased using the loan was awarded competitively and the first disbursement took place. The price obtained was lower than planned, hence allowing for the purchase of additional trains if desired. The contracting for the consultancy for the updating of the Plano Diretor de Transporte Urbano is underway. This study involves new Origin-Destination surveys and demand modeling and prioritization of investments. A final award is expected in the first quarter of FY11. The State approved legislation for the introduction of the Bilhete Unico which limits the overall tariff paid by transit users to R$4.40 as long as one of the legs is intermunicipal and the transfer is done within a two hour period. The State is subsidizing the difference between that value and the sum of the two tariffs. This action is benefiting the most poor that live very far from downtown and had to take at least two buses or one municipal and rail and/or metro. So far the Bilhete Unico Integrado has attracted 130,000 more new passengers.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has achieved significant progress in the four technical components. The four components are reaching, and in several cases surpassing, the intermediate indicators. Under Component 1, the Regional Laboratory has been fully implemented. Component 2 continues to support the realization of behavior surveys in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, contributing to the implementation of second generation surveillance systems in all six Central American countries. Component 3 (the policy component) has been instrumental in ensuring Project execution and achievement of the Project Development Objective. Component 4 has financed 23 mobile subprojects that have also benefitted indigenous populations. As such, the development objective of the project has been achieved. The Project continues to work in direct coordination with the Central American Commission of Health Ministers, the Regional Coordination Mechanism (MCR), the Pan-American Health Organization, UNAIDS, the Center for Disease Control, bilateral donors such as USAID and DFID, the Global Fund, and two regional projects (Mesoamerican and REDCA +). These multi-country and multi-donor coordination efforts were and are critical outcomes of the Project.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards achieving the development objective is currently slow since the project began in 2006 and will close in 2012. There is a need to scale back proposed goals and activities of the project in order to more realistically improve management of the proposed Biosphere Reserve in both Nicaragua and Honduras. A restructuring, which is being prepared in FY11, will redefine the project components, and better link activities to the development objective. Recently, however, significant progress has been made on some components such as implementation of community-level subprojects that promote management and conservation of protected areas, and the development of information systems in support of the management of various protected areas.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The project was formally restructured to extend the closing date by 18 months. It is expected that such extension will be sufficient to achieve the development objectives and fully disburse the loan. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has completed its fifth year of implementation. After a slow start, the project has now reached a sufficient implementation pace. The disbursement rate is consistent with the forecast and, if maintained, it should be sufficient to fully disburse the loan by the revised closing date. Key project innovations have demonstrated significant results and they are progressively being streamlined, such as the territorial planning approach and the methodology to assess the economic benefits of an integrated pipeline of multi- sector infrastructure investments. After the February 27 earthquake, the new Chilean administration has started to use the project as a platform for reconstruction: the territorial planning approach has been customized to address reconstruction needs and the project's scope has been extended to new earthquake-affected territories. In the year to come, important opportunities may open to scale up the project and more broadly streamline the territorial development approach.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 Additional financing of US$3 million was approved. The scope is the System of Social Protection, including Chile Solidario, and the recent extension to cover young children through Chile Crece Contigo. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Substantial progress has been made towards achieving the development objectives. Nearly 400,000 families have been invited to join Chile Solidario and children are being enrolled in Chile Crece Contigo through the public health system. In September 2009 the Government promulgated the law on the Inter-Institutional Social Protection System. The law covers the key components of the system, including entry points into the system and the role of the social worker, among other aspects. The Integrated Social Information System continued to be strengthened by incorporating additional programs and services, and played an important role in the roll-out of the recent pension reform. Progress was also made on extending the impact evaluation for Chile Solidario, demonstrating that the Program had been well-targeted and effective in connecting the participants with other social programs and transfers. In addition, work has started on an evaluation of the impact of the parental education activities associated with Chile Crece Contigo.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The project was restructured to better align Bank assistance with the operational and financial challenges of the new public transport system in Santiago. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress toward achieving the development objectives has been slower than expected. The main results to date consist of (a) the organization of an international conference for metropolitan transport authorities, which culminated in the submission to Congress of a draft law to create a metropolitan transport authority for Santiago; (b) the review of the organizational and managerial aspects of Transantiago, the authority in charge of public transport in Santiago; (c) the preparation of a methodology to assess the economic and financial standing of bus operators; (d) the development of a number of modeling tools to fine- tune the public transport system; (e) an analysis of the positive impact of the public transport system on air quality; and (f) the design of the legal framework to facilitate the impact assessment of new developments on the transport system and the mitigation/compensation of potential negative impacts. A study to assess the impact of the public transport system on street market vendors and one to improve Transantiago from an institutional/organizational point of view are still ongoing. Two new activities, one to improve Transantiago's financial management system and one to pilot-test solutions to improve the efficiency and quality of the system, still need to be contracted. All this is likely to contribute to the efficiency and sustainability of the public transport system.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress has been observed in all project components but with differences in the degree of advancement among them. Significant progress has been achieved in the design and implementation of an integrated project management model. The tools developed as part of the Modernization Program were tested by the earthquake of February 2010. The new operating systems facilitated real-time tracking of the status of connectivity in the whole territory and monitoring the progress in the implementation of all land infrastructure reconstruction projects. Level of service standards have been adopted in several road and airport concessions. However, progress in the drafting of a new institutional regulatory environment as well as the creation of a Superintendency of Public Works has been slow.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The objectives of the original project remain the same. The additional financing (USD$7.812 million) contributes to the consolidation of the strategy advanced by the Peace and Development Project, as well as the expansion or its activities to the Department of Valle del Cauca. Therefore the additional financing would help reach 9 departments in total, and support the consolidation of subprojects and the strengthening of the administrative and institutional capacity of groups at the regional and local level. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The original loan closed on April 15, 2010 having substantially achieved its development objectives. A final report was published by Accion Social including project results, lessons learned and challenges towards the consolidation phase. Project results are encouraging and have served to generate a theory and practice of peace and development. The project has successfully tested an approach to peace building based on two inter-related elements: local socio-economic development processes, fostering community involvement in decision-making and local development; and processes to rebuild and recover collective assets, starting building of social capital and promoting access to local government and state institutions. Relevant early impacts of the project (as result of the first phase external impact evaluation) are the following: the project has contributed to (a) increase levels of reciprocity and trust observed among beneficiaries; (b) increase the capacity and willingness of beneficiaries to engage in civic activities; (c) increase in the tendency of beneficiaries to resolve conflicts through community-based strategies; (d) increased income, food expenditures and food security. The additional financing phase will support the consolidation of the original project outcomes and results; it benefits from strengthened institutions at the territorial level and from more mature community based organizations that will undertake Strategic Territorial Projects (PETs) focusing on fewer, but more strategic, interventions (subprojects) at the regional level oriented towards the consolidation and sustainability of project development objectives.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Project continues to progress towards achieving its development objectives. One hundred percent of the original Loan has been disbursed and most of the Project implementation has been completed; in the case of the Urban Upgrading Component, achieving more than its initial targets. An Additional Financing (AF) of US$ 30 million was approved in October 2008 and became effective on June 26, 2009. This AF finances the scale-up of the original Project's Component A (Improved Mobility) and Component C (Institutional Development). The project is financing planning and design of the upgrading of the Integrated Mass Transit System for the city, including the first metro line for Bogota; technical assistance to IDU (Urban Development Institute) for the road administration system; and support to Bogota's Cadastre Unit for enhanced cadastral management and institutional strengthening. The Bogota Metro Study has started its implementation utilizing remaining funds from the original Loan. The Bank has been providing strong technical support to the Secretariat of Mobility given the size and complexity of the task. The bidding process to contract the advanced design of the first line is underway. The Cadastre Unit has also commenced the implementation of the strengthening of its technical capacity.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has largely achieved its objectives in component 1 (Knowledge Generation and Innovation). The Government of Colombia has made available very substantial co-funding, thereby extending the size of the competitive grant program that the project is supporting. The technology foresighting work has involved the private sector and the organized agricultural producers, around a solid methodology, and has lead to widely accepted plans for increasing the competitiveness of agricultural subsectors. In component 2 (Strengthening of the National Sanitary and Phytosanitary System) progress is still mixed given the delays in the certification of the high security laboratory required for improved management of foot and mouth disease. The contracting and purchasing of equipment has been completed but certification has not yet been achieved. However, positive achievements in this component have been that the country has been declared free of several diseases such as avian flu and foot and mouth. The project has just finished hiring the impact evaluation consultancy that will document to what extent the project indicators have been met.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards achieving the development objectives is progressing well, albeit more slowly than originally envisaged, in part due to the delays in initial execution. The Ministry of Education has signed agreements with 16 participating territorial entities, and nine of them have already made financial contributions to the project (which is the Ministry's requirement for participation). All 16 entities have viable and approved rural education plans. Additionally, execution of subprojects is well underway. In particular, several of the flexible education delivery modalities are being reviewed and improved (including accelerated learning, the rural education suitcase of educational materials and activities, the telesecundaria distance learning program, productive pedagogical programs and use of radio as a teaching tool, among others). This year approximately 12,000 teachers are being trained in the use of Information and Communication Technologies. Implementation experience has revealed a need to adjust result indicators and targets to better reflect project content.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Project became effective in mid-2007, and as of the close of the reporting period, the Loan has not disbursed. The delay was caused primarily by procurement problems for the project management consulting firm. The management firm was mobilized in early 2010, and there has been notable progress during 2010. A number of water supply and sewerage works contracts have been initiated, the project Operations Manual is being revised to reflect changed circumstances, and the five year strategic investment plan has been approved by the provincial and national government. Although implementation is lagging behind targets, overall project management has improved significantly, and the investment program is expected to increase rapidly, resulting in accelerated disbursements and progress towards the development objectives.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards the project development objectives (PDOs) is, in general, on track, although for some indicators progress is slower than anticipated. Six months prior to the closing date, most PDO-level indicators have either been met or are close to being met. Increase in the transition rate between secondary and tertiary education has reached 67.5%, which surpasses the original target. Administrative costs, at 3.1% of total income, have also been reduced beyond the original target. The number of tertiary education graduates has increased to 162.868, although additional time is required to meet the target. As 4.4% of total resources are raised from external private sources, funding diversification remains challenging, largely due to the global financial crisis, but progress is being steadily made towards the objective, even if at a slower pace than originally anticipated. An extension of the Loan closing date by 18 months has been requested by ICETEX to fully meet the above targets.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): During the last fiscal year progress towards achieving the development objectives has been delayed by national elections (on February 2010) and the resulting transition period, with the new administration taking office in May 2010. This has had an impact on the overall institutional set-up and organization of the Project, both within the various Project Executing Units and within the Project Coordination Unit (PCU). However, since June 2010 progress has been made in terms of consolidating the PCU and complying with specific disbursement conditions, so it is expected that tangible results in advancing the development objectives will be attained during the new fiscal year 2011.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made significant progress towards achieving its development objectives. The power sector had many positive changes in management and institutional arrangements. These changes are directly supported by the President of the country. There is an action plan under implementation fully supported by the studies completed under the Technical Assistance Project. The cash recovery index is slowly improving and will be accelerated by the new management teams that will be appointed at the three distribution companies this year. The regulatory agency will implement the technical tariff resulting from calculations a consultant firm is about to complete in three months. The issue of the quality of the electricity services needs still to be addressed by the regulator. Institutional and technical capacities have increased and the Government is committed to speed up decisions to improve the energy sector.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 US$10 million in Additional Financing (AF) was approved in FY10. The objective of the additional financing is to ensure the attainment of the development objectives. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Significant progress has been made towards achieving the development objectives despite a challenging context of delayed Congressional ratification of the additional financing, and complex inter-institutional arrangements. Certain Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are faring well in light of the sound policy decisions of the Social Cabinet, the innovative use of output-based disbursement, and the implementation of technical assistance and capacity-building activities linked to the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) overhaul under existing project resources. The Project Implementing Unit has used the output-based disbursement method to get the Central Electoral Council to issue national IDs to 67,273 poor, previously undocumented Dominicans. Overall, 86% of those documented have been verified as being incorporated into the Solidaridad program or another social protection program, exceeding the 75% KPI. The coverage of the poor and extreme poor has also increased dramatically along with the growth in funding of targeted social programs. Finally, 75% of CCT Beneficiary Committees have already been formed. Beneficiaries, health, education, and CCT staff have also been instructed on the new CCT vision and rules of operation.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The restructuring of the project was taking place at the end of the reporting period. The goal of the restructuring is to introduce a new temporary employment program (TEP). This TEP will be launched as a pilot experience in the province of Santiago and is expected to cover 4,000 beneficiaries. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Overall, the project made good progress towards achieving its objectives. The main part of the project (training of youth at risk), administered by the Ministry of Labor, reached more than half of its original target population. The rigorous impact evaluation, currently under implementation, revealed that the program is well targeted on the poorest regions of the Dominican Republic. It is expected that by the end of this reporting period these studies will reveal the magnitude of the impact on employment and wages of program participation. The other two components (Second Chance Education, and Capacity Building) have advanced at a slower pace. The World Bank team is devoting efforts to help the government agencies to overcome the difficulties that are delaying implementation. Moreover, the extension of the closing date of the project may allow implementing agencies to achieve the goals of these parts of the project.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Significant progress has been made towards achieving the development objectives. Special performance agreements for introducing results adjusted capitation transfers have been signed between the Ministry of Health and the two regional health services (RHSs) as planned. Algorithms, information systems, and a practical guidelines manual for the regions have been developed and are currently being refined with technical support from the Bank. The new general manager of health services at the National Health Insurance is taking the lead in reviewing the critical path to start transferring capitations in a coordinated fashion with the Project Coordinating Unit (PCU). An electronic platform and tools for adscription of poor persons not enrolled in any mandatory health insurance are being completed. There is a delay in the implementation of the national financial administrative system (SIGEF) to the decentralized RHS. In case it is needed, the Bank will explore alternatives along with the National Health Insurance and the PCU.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made good progress towards achieving its objectives. However, in some cases, the effects of the global financial crisis limited potential gains from the project. The number of taxpayers increased by 9.7% for ad-valorem taxes and by 4% for income taxes. Tax collection reached 13.4% of the Gross Domestic Product as a result of the slowdown in economic activity, remaining below the project's 14.1% target. The amount of untargeted subsides decreased by more than 40% between July 2008 and July 2010, surpassing expectations. The social protection program, Comunidades Solidarias (previously Red Solidarias), reached 100,400 households in May 2010. In 2009, the program distributed a total of US$19.2 million to about 100,000 households, outperforming with respect to the project targets of US$12.6 million and 85,000, respectively.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 Two restructurings took place: the first was to increase the financing percentage on works carried out by the National Municipal Development Institute (INFOM) from 75% to 85%; and the second was to reallocate previously unallocated funds between works carried out by INFOM and works carried out by the General Highway Directorate. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The closing date of the loan was extended to June 30, 2011 at the end of FY09. This increases the probability that the project development objectives could be substantially realized. However, it is unlikely that the full extent of the planned road improvements and associated access improvements will be completed because of past implementation delays and cost increases. The restructurings carried out in FY10 do however help increase resources of the loan to contribute towards realizing this objective. Action is now in hand to strengthen municipal road management and maintenance necessary for the institutional development and employment generation objectives to be realized.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 Following the January 12 earthquake and as part of World Bank emergency assistance, an Additional Financing grant of USD 14.54 million was approved at the end of May 2010. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Most project progress indicators are on target, despite the tragic setback caused by the January 12 earthquake. By end of May 2010, the number of the project's direct beneficiaries had reached 1.1 million (or about 12% of Haiti's total population), spread over 59 communes of the 10 regional departments of the country. Of the planned 1,466 subprojects (infrastructure, social or income generating), as many as 1,031 (or more than 70%) are already completed. Equally important, the participatory process supporting the capacity building and local community engagement is demonstrating clear results in building local social capital, as evidenced by the level of co-financing and local initiatives beyond specific project activities. In that context, and very important in the post-earthquake recovery, the project has also fostered community structures in response to natural disasters, which served as a conduit for, and facilitated provision of, some emergency relief goods and services to poor communities. Furthermore, by explicitly supporting and tracking women's participation in community-based organizations, the project has effectively provided new opportunities and improvements in the social status and overall empowerment of rural women.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 Additional financing was processed in FY10 in order to compensate the project for a temporary reallocation of resources to finance reconstruction works after the 2007 and 2008 hurricane seasons, as well as an increase of the unit price of road works. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has just concluded its fourth year of implementation. The January 12 earthquake has radically modified the environment in Haiti. The implementing agencies have suffered serious human and logistical consequences but they have quickly restored some basic capacity. It was decided neither to modify nor to reallocate any resources from this on-going project since most of these resources were already committed and since the project was intervening in areas that had not been stricken by the earthquake but where many displaced people had found refuge. Some resources were, however, reallocated from contingencies to reinforce the implementing agency (e.g. building of temporary offices, payment of exceptional salary increases to staff). Road works on the two main corridors are on-going. In the targeted Northern micro-region, the section rehabilitated by the project (Carrefour La Mort, Barrière Battant) will be followed by rehabilitation works on the following two sections with financing from the European Union and the French Development Agency so that the entire national road No. 3 that connects Port-au-Prince to Cap Haitian is improved. In the Southern micro-region, the project is rehabilitating the section Thiotte Anse à Pitre that connects to the Dominican Republic. In each micro-region, the Territorial Development Window has been financing income generating initiatives that complements the improvement of transport conditions. Finally, the emergency road and bridge repairs that had been identified after the 2007 and 2008 hurricane seasons have been largely advanced, resulting in improved access and enhanced infrastructure resilience.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 An Additional Financing of US$5 million was approved on September 8, 2009 in order to: (a) help improve EDH management by bringing in external private management skills, (b) cover cost overruns for the commercial, technical management and remote metering systems procured under the original project, (c) provide support to the energy unit of the Ministry of Public Works, and (d) finance the costs of the Project Coordination Unit during the two year extension period. In addition, as a result of the earthquake, the project was restructured to provide EDH with additional technical support and funding needed for the implementation of the Project's key activities - installation of the billing and grid maintenance systems, the remote meters, Technical Assistance to EDH management and capacity building to the Ministry of Public Works' energy unit - and the closing date was extended by one year to February 28, 2013. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards achievement of the development objectives has been very negatively affected by the earthquake, weakening the capacity of EDH and the Ministry of Public Works. The installation of the key billing and grid maintenance system started in FY 2010. Full implementation, initially expected for June 2010, has been delayed due to the impact of the earthquake. A selection process was carried out successfully that led to the selection of four highly experienced individuals to act as 'deputy directors' for the utility, and who should start their contract in August 2010. They are expected to play an important role in the implementation of project activities. Finally, the energy unit of the Ministry of Public Works was staffed with four individuals, with the objective of strengthening the Ministry's supervision capacity.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The restructuring takes stock of (a) implementation challenges before the 12 January 2010 earthquake, especially with regards to delays in the payment of subsidies to schools, as well as slow implementation of the component on quality (reading and multi-grade), and of (b) the reduced capacity of the Client to implement the project and the need for further institutional strengthening in the post-earthquake context. Therefore the restructuring facilitates implementation of some components while revising some target indicators. The Additional Financing (USD 12 million) will allow the project to cover one more year of tuition subsidies and school feeding programs (for school year 2010-2011) and to further scale up capacity building. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project is making important progress towards reaching the development objectives. The component on improving access to primary education has surpassed its original target by sending 133,000 poor children to school. The project is also helping reinforce the public-private partnership by promoting better accountability between the public and the non-public sector through a growing involvement of school inspectors and school management committees. Capacity was also built to measure learning outcomes through the Early Grade Reading Assessment, which has led to further interest in scaling up a reading improvement pilot.

The project finances the entrance fee and the annual insurance premium (for three years) necessary to participate in the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility, established in June 2007. The coverage provided will allow the Government of Haiti to face immediate liquidity needs emerging from the occurrence of a disaster. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Under the Haiti Catastrophe Insurance Pool, Haiti is covered for loss of government revenue resulting from catastrophic hurricanes and earthquakes. The project financed 50% of the premium for the 2009-2010 seasons, with other donors financing the rest. Hurricane coverage for the 2009-2010 season was US$38.8 million while earthquake coverage was US$7.75 million. The policy was triggered after the January 12, 2010 earthquake and Haiti received a full payment of $7.75 million within three weeks of the earthquake.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards achieving the development objectives is lagging. The implementation of training activities in the teacher training institutes has been delayed by several months. The lack of capacity at the level of the implementing agency and the training institutes has contributed to the slow progress of the project. The earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010 further delayed the project. The project is not currently meeting its outcome and output targets and will need to be restructured.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards development objectives is quite visible in targeted project areas. Implementation gained even more momentum following the January 12 earthquake, with the timely completion of more than 50 community subprojects, most of which were cash-for-work initiatives as part of post-disaster relief/recovery interventions through the project. Over 5,000 direct beneficiaries were employed in such initiatives, which focused on clearing neighborhood areas and major arteries of rubble and debris, and on dredging local drainage ditches. These emergency interventions helped clear the way for broader reconstruction to be undertaken and reduced the risk of flooding in major shelters of internally displaced people. Some previously completed, but earthquake-damaged community-driven sub-projects (including community kitchens and a community poultry farm) were rehabilitated as part of the emergency interventions of the project. Following an agreement with counterparts during the last post-earthquake implementation support mission, the typical participatory selection has now resumed and several sub-projects have already been prioritized and initiated, while badly needed emergency cash-for-work rubble clearing is continuing in Port-au-Prince.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 A minor restructuring was processed to redesign the vulnerability reduction component and to provide institutional support to the Interministerial Territorial Development Agency (CIAT). Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has just completed its second year of implementation. The January 12 earthquake has radically modified the environment in Haiti. The implementing agencies (UCE and BMPAD) have suffered serious human and logistical consequences but they have quickly restored some basic capacity. A small-scale restructuring was processed to reallocate project funds to support institutional building activities benefiting the Interministerial Territorial Development Agency (CIAT) so that this entity can implement a number of vulnerability reduction initiatives. No other reallocation of funds from this on- going project has been processed since a large part of the funds were already committed and the identified investments remain priorities after the earthquake in order to give access to the damaged areas. The project has continued its good progress: out of the 22 identified repair works, 11 activities are completed and 5 activities are on-going. The implementing agency is finalizing the design of the remaining works with the help of an international consultant. Due to earthquake damages, certain work contracts will have to be amended. However, little progress continues to be shown on the institutional front so that the Haitian institutions can be prepared for the next hurricane season. While two managers have been appointed for the bridge management unit and the crisis management unit in the Ministry of Public Works, these entities still lack sufficient capacity. A plan is being implemented to accelerate project execution in these two important areas.

The implementation of the Project was delayed by the earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010. The implementing agency has not yet awarded contracts for the construction of new primary schools. The project just contracted the architects for the elaboration of the technical studies. Construction will not start before the end of 2010. On the positive side, the project made some good progress on the elaboration of new norms and standards for safe school construction. This is particularly useful in the post-earthquake context.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project was prepared as part of the core Bank response to the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. Less than 4 months after Board approval, the project has achieved important results although the situation in Haiti remains highly vulnerable with hundreds of thousands of refugees living in precarious conditions and the hurricane season approaching. Most of the activities have been financed through the project's Bank executed Project Preparation Advance (PPA). Key achievements include: (a) the financing of a damaged building assessment initiative that resulted in more than 200,000 buildings being assessed, including many schools and health centers; (b) the cleaning of major drainage canals that successfully reduced the risk of flooding in nearby refugee camps; (c) emergency road repairs on national road No. 4 between Carrefour Dufort and Jacmel allowing this key transport corridor to remain open; (d) a contribution to reconstruction planning through the preparation of the planning strategy "Haiti Demain"; (e) providing temporary offices to selected departments of the Ministry of Economy and Finance; (f) providing solar- powered lanterns to affected communities as well as social services; and (g) a feasibility study to establish a debris management site on the public landfill of Truitier.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Honduran banking system went through a severe test in the last two years as a result of the global financial crisis in 2008 / 2009 and the Honduran political crisis of 2009. After the halt in project activities in July 2009, which affected both activities that were being executed and those that were still being planned, the World Bank engaged in an intensive dialogue with the authorities that took office in January 2010. Although the achievement of the project development objectives is very relevant to the financial sector authorities, progress has been delayed, affecting among other things the ongoing process of establishing a modern payment system in the country. Having strengthened the institutional capacity to implement this project, the new authorities are currently engaged in implementing this and other key elements of the project in order to improve their supervisory and administrative functions.

The project also seeks to gradually enhance government capacity to improve the living conditions of infants, preschool children, and youth. The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 A Project restructuring was approved in 2010 to allow an extension of the closing date until May 31, 2012 to permit implementation of the key component - the nutrition AIN-C which has been delayed by the six month pause in disbursements and the difficulties that followed thereafter to renew contracts that expired during the disbursement pause. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): To date all 1,000 communities targeted by the project are receiving the AIN-C community based nutrition services with 91% of children under 2 participating in periodical weighing sessions. The Mi Primer Empleo component executed by the Ministry of Labor is approaching completion with about 4,000 at-risk youth having been trained and one third of them using the labor information services in the Ministry of Labor to search for employment. The component to strengthen the social protection framework for children and youth is still not active pending appointment of new staff following the reorganization of the Unidad de Admistracion de Proyectos in the Ministry of Presidency following the change in government in February 2010. This component most likely will include activities to support the implementation of the new conditional cash transfer program Bono 10,000 launched by the new government.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made strong progress towards achieving its development objectives. Project implementation is essentially complete. The main achievements of the Project include the following: (a) proper targeting of beneficiaries; (b) over 1,335 community-based sub-projects completed (c)41,125 households directly benefitted from subprojects; and (d) training of over 15,000 indigenous peoples in areas such as project development, management, accounting, and environmental assessment. Of the total 1,665 sub- projects about 86.5% were productive in nature and 13.5% were related to infrastructure. A study measuring the impact of a series of observable variables (utilized as a proxy of the project's development objectives) in a random sample of 200 communities participating in the project (about 6 percent of the total communities that participated in the project) and another comparable 100 non-participating communities, show that participating communities: (a) generated short-term paid and unpaid employment of 104 days or less; (b) had a marginal increase in productivity in certain sub-sectors (cattle, dairy, coffee) with approved productive sub-projects that also generated a slight surplus for marketing; (c) had better access to credit; and (d) strengthened their internal organization.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): No progress has been made during this fiscal year. As a consequence of events following the June 28, 2009 removal of the President of Honduras, the World Bank program in Honduras was "paused" until the newly elected government took office on January, 27 2010. In addition, the credit agreement had to be amended to incorporate the new project implementation unit at the Secretary of the Presidency (the Unidad Administradora de Proyectos de la Secretaría del Estado en el Despacho Presidencial) which was established by Executive Decree PCM 0028-2010, and published in the Official Gazette on April 7, 2010.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The credit closing date was extended to June 30, 2012 with the goal of providing time for the project to complete its objectives. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): With the completion of most of the planned investment in the mancomunidades of CRA and Chorti and the start up of the first batch of projects in the other 4 mancomunidades, there is clear evidence of the soundness of the project's model for improved access and quality of rural infrastructure. The main challenge now is to work on the sustainability of the development impact of the project, with particular emphasis on municipal capacity building and developing and implementing new models for infrastructure operation and maintenance. In this regard, activities in all three sectors - transport, water and energy - are underway at this time. These activities suffered some delays in FY10 due to the operational pause in the first half of the year which was followed by the administration transition in January 2010.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The unexpected change in political leadership at the end of June 2009, which was only resolved with new elections at the end of January 2010, significantly slowed project implementation; however, the project had begun to regain momentum by spring 2010. The Project is now active in all five of the intended municipalities, and is in the process of adding two additional neighborhoods (one in La Ceiba, and one that is not yet identified). The social interventions have been particularly successful in building community capacity to organize against violence, as well as in improving access for at-risk youth and poor and vulnerable families to ongoing programs (i.e., adult literacy, after school programs, etc.). In Villanueva, physical improvements such as staircases, water and sewerage, and a water storage tank have been finished in conjunction with a very successful program of social interventions, and the quality of life improvements for community residents is highly appreciated.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Despite a number of project activities that were affected because of the political situation during the second semester of 2009, the project is progressing towards the achievement of its development objectives. Over 300 Community Pre-Basic Education Centers have been opened with funds from the Project and support to the PROHECO schools is starting to reach beneficiaries. The country is well advanced in its preparation to participate in the 2010 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and Program on International Reading Study exams. The country has completed the piloting of the instruments and is on track for an application of the tests during 2010. A Japan Social Development Fund grant of US$1.7 million, for piloting new forms of community-administered education for socially vulnerable communities in Honduras, has been received and linked to the project. The goal of the grant is to pilot the expansion of PROHECO to lower secondary education to improve access and educational performance and to pilot Learning Centers managed by the community to provide quality education and outreach for school-age children and working adults in socially excluded communities by supplementing the overstressed educational services with community-specific programs.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress towards achieving the development objectives has been slower than expected as a result of fiscal constraints that have limited public expenditures, thus slowing completion of infrastructure in the communities. The social interventions have been particularly successful in building community capacity to organize against violence, as well in carrying out evidence-based violence prevention and programs targeted towards at-risk youth and poor and vulnerable families (i.e. parenting and mentoring programs, among others), and in providing the necessary safety conditions for the physical infrastructure projects to proceed.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Though a fair number of intermediate results have been achieved, exogenous factors such as the unforeseen economic downturn, human resource capacity, and the H1N1 pandemic have affected achievement of some targets. Although the development objectives remain the same, the Government has realized that the expected pace for achieving them will need to be adjusted. A Mid-term Review of the National Strategic Plan was held in May 2010, which helped the Government to assess progress made in a number of areas. The following has been achieved over the last year: initiation of inspections of Early Childhood Institutes, whereby 567 centers have received "permits to operate"; development and field testing of a child health passport; development of standards and an accreditation system for early childhood parenting education and support programs; and establishment of a format for the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service to monitor expenditures on Early Childhood across several government agencies (e.g. Ministries of Education, Health, Labor and Social Security).

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project continues to make progress towards achieving its development objectives. The Government of Jamaica (GoJ) has made remarkable efforts to expand the coverage of the national conditional cash transfer program (Program of Advancement through Health and Education - PATH), to ensure that all poor households have access to the program. Registered beneficiaries increased by over a third from 2008 to 2010, reaching 332,516 registered beneficiaries in February 2010. Although the coverage of the program increased significantly over the past years low compliance rates for education and health remain an issue. The GoJ launched in November 2010 a pilot project, Steps to Work (StW), to assist and empower working-age members of PATH households to seek and retain employment, or to venture into entrepreneurship. By March 2010, 1,866 persons had benefited from the pilot. A number of training activities to strengthen GoJ capacity to reform the public sector pension schemes took place in 2009-2010. The GoJ has now started drafting a Green Paper on public sector pension reform that should be finalized by December 2010.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project continues to support the implementation of the National AIDS Program. Progress toward achieving the development objectives is slower than initially anticipated. Due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the government's budget allocation for the HIV program was reduced by more than 60% in the last Fiscal Year. With the limited budget allocation to the National HIV Program, the government mainly used the project loan as counterpart fund for the Global Fund Grants to finance staffing costs of the National Program. The project funds have also been used to finance the activities under the treatment component for minor renovations of the tuberculosis laboratory and health centers, workshops in clinical management of HIV/AIDS for training 230 health workers in all categories (including pharmacists, doctors, nurses, social workers, contact investigators, adherence counselors, etc.), establishing 24 treatment sites, and the procurement of medical equipment. The project was unable to implement the biomedical waste management system due to lack of the budget. However, the Government has committed to meeting the Millennium Development Goals target and HIV/AIDS remains as one of the high priorities in the government's agenda. In 2009, approximately 6,200 women and 8,200 men were receiving antiretrovirals compared to approximately 4,900 women and 7,200 men in 2008. In recognizing the need to increase targeting efforts, the Ministry of Health, as well as 4 Line Ministries and civil society organizations have established prevention education campaigns in 667 schools, including an abstinence campaign in 2009 and are focusing on screening/testing other groups such as tourists, inmates, and migrant workers.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The rural financial sector has been substantially consolidated with close to 100 entities (64% of sector membership and 69% of sector assets) having been certified to operate. With an additional 211 entities ready for certification, 85% of the sector would be covered. The regulatory arrangements (at regulatory agency CNBV) and supervisory arrangements at the federation level (through supervision committees) are functioning effectively for non-cooperatives. As a result of the new law for cooperative financial institutions, a restructuring of the supervision committees is expected since the cooperative supervision function has to be carried out through six agencies at the regional level. Three deposit protection funds had already started to get capitalized but these have now transitioned to two broad funds - one for cooperatives, and another for non-cooperatives. Around 30 entities and all 524 branches of the implementing agency (BANSEFI) are using the technology platform to reduce costs and improve access to financial services. An additional 20 entities are at an advanced stage for adoption of the platform services. More than 425,000 new members have been added to the financial sector in the poor, rural and marginal areas of Mexico.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The Government of Mexico requested the World Bank to restructure the project because two components (4 and 5) were not implemented by the newly elected State Authorities. For the same reason, Phases II and III will not be implemented. The restructuring changed the project objective in order to reflect that the student loan program will not be a project mechanism of student assistance. Funds were reallocated to other components and the closing date was extended to September 30, 2011 to assure the implementation of the indigenous component. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has been contributing to the expansion of tertiary education through the provision of scholarships for low-income students. The project has implemented a high quality information system to improve monitoring. The recent restructuring reflects a clearer focus on the provision of scholarships. Also, financial management is working adequately and the project has received fewer observations from internal audits. Finally, the indigenous component (3.2) has become effective and this will allow improving student assistance for those with more needs. Overall, the project has made considerable progress towards achieving its development objectives, especially when compared to previous years.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): In early 2010 the Program expanded its coverage from 5.2 to 5.6 million families and added a benefit for families with young children. Family compliance with the health and education conditions continues to meet or surpass the targets set, and there are higher rates of transition to lower and upper secondary school. The Program has undertaken several activities to improve its effectiveness in indigenous communities such as designing a specific health communication strategy for them and increasing the number and competencies of bi-lingual staff. Several important studies are underway, including one looking at the education trajectories of children of beneficiary families in order to analyze why not all children are receiving the scholarship, a consideration of the policy on time limits on participation, and one examining the pertinence of services for urban indigenous participants. Implementation of the pilots on early childhood education and the promotion of parental participation in school management continued, although with some delays in the case of the former. Efforts to improve the connections between Oportunidades and other social programs has focused on education (tertiary scholarships and school quality initiatives) and health (Seguro Popular), with most progress in the case of the latter.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 An additional financing credit of US$10 million equivalent was approved on February 16, 2010 to support the scaling-up of most of the project's activities in new municipalities in the departments of Madriz and Leon. No additional funding was allocated for activities under original project components: Policy and Legal Reforms and Demarcation of Indigenous Lands. These activities are being completed under the original credit. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress toward achieving the project development objectives is substantial. The overall framework for land administration has been strengthened and inter-institutional coordination improved. A systematic land rights regularization program has been developed and tested in the original Project area. Cadastral activities have been completed in Chinandega and Esteli and 70% of Madriz, benefitting over 150,000 families, most of which are poor. Targets have been exceeded regarding demarcation of protected areas, with 12 areas demarcated and 10 management plans prepared under the Project. Finally, 12 indigenous peoples' territories have been demarcated and titled in the Caribbean.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project is making strong progress towards achieving its development objectives. The project was instrumental in responding to a national microfinance crisis brought on by a drought, a case of fraud, and disruptions caused by borrowers unwilling to pay (supported by the Government). The project continues to work toward an improved legal framework to minimize arbitrary government action, and continues to support the Superintendency of banks in developing appropriate supervision practices and norms for microfinance providers. The project has also assisted two microfinance institutions transition into regulated, supervised institutions, and has begun to assist two other microfinance institutions. All of this contributes to a stronger microfinance industry (i.e. comprised of sound, profitable institutions) with broader outreach (i.e. reaching micro and small businesses). In terms of impact, the global financial crisis, political issues related to the "no payment movement", an arbitrary law with forced debt rescheduling, and a scandal combined to lower the impact of microfinance services. Nevertheless, progress has been seen in certain key indicators. For example, there were originally 200 points of service in rural areas, which had increased to 232 by December 2009, surpassing the target of 220. The Bank has also used the project and a Financial Services Assessment Program to help the microfinance sector improve its medium term impact.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The Project was restructured in April 2010 to formally reallocate funds among components and activities, increasing resource allocations directed to work-intensive components given the unexpected rise in the price of commodities and petrol during the initial years of project implementation (over 100% rise between 2005 and 2008). However, this restructuring did not address the "financing gap" required to fulfill the original targets set under the Project. Therefore, in parallel to the restructuring, an Additional Financing totaling US$39.3 million equivalent was approved in June 2010 to enable the completion of goals and physical milestones set under the ongoing operation. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Strong progress has been made towards achieving the project development objectives. The rehabilitation works for 51km of main roads have been completed; significant progress has been made under the cobblestone pavement and stabilization of rural roads, with 198 km stabilized so far; 33 km of periodic maintenance have been finalized and the routine maintenance program run by the road maintenance fund (FOMAV) has contracted 35 microenterprises covering 2,573 km, exceeding the original target of 2,400 km. Moreover, the recently approved Additional Financing is expected to achieve the completion of the 320 km of rural road stabilizations, the conclusion of 47km pending periodic maintenance, the continuation of the routine maintenance program and the implementation of priority technical assistance and capacity building activities prior to December 2012.

The project was extended to December 31, 2010 in order to achieve all of the project objectives and correct for slow disbursement. 2. Disbursements were recategorized in response to the Government's request that the project pay up to 25% of the salary of staff from the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock who are involved in the project. This request was in response to the difficult fiscal situation after the Economic Crisis of 2008/2009. 3. The Cofinancing Agreement with the International Fund for Agriculture and Development (IFAD) was finalized at the end of the second phase of the Technical Assistance Fund, following a new policy adopted by the IFAD Board to start supervising its own projects. An Additional Grant of USD 10M was approved to expand component 1.3 "Strengthening the technical and operational capabilities in Nicaragua's territory for the production of foundation and registered seeds" Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project is progressing towards the achievement of its objectives. By May 2010 achieved indicator values were between 79% and 158% with most close to 100%. Good progress has been made with respect to support for innovation and technology adoption activities. The second phase of the Technical Assistance Fund implemented by the Nicaragua Agricultural Technology Foundation achieved its objectives and was closed. Progress by INTA was strong as well, but progress at the National Forestry Institute has been slow. The computerized management information system for monitoring & evaluation purposes is operational and needs to be rolled out to the organizations participating in the Productive Rural Development Program donor harmonization scheme. The Ministry of Agriculture (the implementing agency) experienced considerable staff turnover and its implementation capacity is under pressure.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Substantial progress has been made towards achieving the development objectives. The project has contributed to the installation of 104 Internet points of presence in 104 rural municipalities. Currently, all municipalities in Nicaragua have access to broadband at competitive prices, with the exception of four in the Caribbean Coast, due to lack of energy. In addition, 101 internet telecenters have been installed in partnership with municipalities, schools, churches and NGOs (depending on each case). Given the new connectivity, Municipal applications have been installed in coordination with other donor agencies (namely, the Finnish Cooperation and Regional Government of Extremadura in Spain) and tested in the Department of Estelí. This pilot proved to be a success, increasing revenues for the municipalities and quality of service delivery to citizens. Lastly, more than 300 public payphones have been installed in areas that did not have access to telecommunications services before.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project was formally launched in August, 2009. Since then, progress has been slow due to changes in personnel and confusion related to the possible role of a new state bank. By the end of FY10 a new team was largely in place and implementation is expected to proceed more rapidly for Component 1 (business climate and registration), Component 2 (matching grants for micro, small, and medium enterprises) and Component 4 (institutional strengthening of the Ministry of Economy). Implementation of Component 3 (partial credit risk guarantees for small and medium enterprises) remains very slow since it has been directly affected by the introduction of the new state bank.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The Project was restructured the first time to reflect a reallocation of proceeds of $1.7m from Component 2 to Component 1, as well as adjustments in the expected outcome indicators for the second year of the project due to initial delays in the implementation of Component 2. A second restructuring was approved to extend the closing date of the Project from June 30, 2010 to October 31, 2010 to finalize remaining Project activities. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Although implementation was lower than expected during 2009, by mid 2010 the Project has seen good progress, and it is likely to achieve its development objective by completing remaining activities successfully. Component 1 (Integral Nutrition Program) made substantial progress toward achieving its objective by providing school lunches for a total of 120 days since 2009, benefiting 252,038 preschool and primary school children. Retention rates and attendance rates have been kept above 90% and 80% respectively. After a slow start, Component 2 (Agro-seeds Program) has delivered an integral technological package, including seeds, fertilizer, credit and technical assistance to 9,240 producers for the planting season 2009-2010.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project was not restructured during the year but did receive an extension to the closing date to July 31, 2011. The main reason for this extension is to provide more time for the implementation of the community livelihoods program which now seems to be moving ahead more rapidly. The project has made good progress towards its development objective as a result of important changes to the overall management of the OECS team. Procurement seems to be operating more smoothly and considerable progress has been made on the completion of the management plans for 6 protected areas. With the extension of the closing date we expect completion of more of the livelihood component objectives at the local level.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project continues to make progress toward achieving its development objectives. The legal and regulatory component has already achieved its objectives, and the ICT pilots component is about to be completed. However, the universal service component has suffered some implementation delays due to lengthy coordination negotiations with the national government agencies in charge of the implementation of this component. It is doubtful that it will achieve its development objectives without an extension; hence, the client has recently submitted a request for extension of the closing date, which is currently being evaluated by the Bank.

The project finances the entrance fee and the annual insurance premiums (for three years) necessary to participate in the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility, established in June 2007. The coverage provided will help the participating Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) governments face immediate liquidity needs emerging from the occurrence of a disaster. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Under the OECS Catastrophe Insurance Project, participating countries have become members and receive coverage against catastrophic hurricanes and earthquakes. The project financed 50% of the premium for the 2009-2010 seasons, with other donors or the countries themselves financing the rest. Hurricane coverage for Dominica, Grenada St. Lucia and St. Vincent & the Grenadines during this last season was up to US$23.0 million, US$39.8 million, US$31.8 million and US$4.9 million respectively.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The National Environment Authority (ANAM) made good and consistent improvements in project implementation during FY10. The new administration has gained significant ownership of the project and is mainstreaming its components and results with the rest of ANAM programs and policies. The Minister himself has taken strong actions to strengthen the Project Implementation Unit, and is personally overseeing project progress and results. These improvements are reflecting positively in every aspect of the project. Achievement of the development objectives is beginning to look very secure since ANAM has brought most indicators up to speed and approached originally programmed dates for their commitment. There are two aspects of the project that have fallen behind the internal results programmed: (a) Strengthening of the National Protected Areas System through decentralization; and (b) Implementation of two pilot Payment for Environmental Services projects. The reason for these delays is linked to structural and legal limitations, which are currently being evaluated by ANAM and the Government of Panama. These project elements will be revised in detail during the Mid-term Review, which is scheduled to occur in March 2011.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): There has been fairly significant progress over the past year towards achieving the development objectives. The Government modified the CCT payments systems, changed the organizational structure of the program, drafted a new operational manual, put into operation the main modules of the Information Management. System (registry, payments and co-responsibilities), conducted a pilot of verification of co-responsibilities through health and education sectors, defined a model of Direct Support to Families, purged almost 10% of the registry of beneficiaries and resumed the impact evaluation bidding process. Significant progress has also been made with respect to health and nutrition supply. The new package of services has already been designed, nutritionists have already been integrated into the health teams, and 90% of the community monitors have been identified. However, only 43% of beneficiary children have received growth monitoring services. Finally, 84% of beneficiary pregnant women have received at least 3 pre-natal checkups, surpassing the 75% target. Lastly, with respect to supporting the Government's capacity to formulate evidence-based social policy, the Social Cabinet has prioritized areas and instruments that require further policy dialogue and external support, such as refining the design of the new non- contributory pension program.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has made significant progress towards achieving its development objectives. The mobile health teams are offering services in 9 out of the 10 regional offices of the Ministry of Health, benefiting about 196,000 people. Despite these achievements, the first year results are lower than expected. Among the seven regional offices for which information is available, only two reached the target for population served (45% of population effectively receiving services) and only three achieved one of the ten coverage targets. Regarding other project indicators, all regional offices for which information is available achieved the target related to diagnosed individuals with diabetes and hypertension (the original target was 40%). However, none of the regional health offices reached the expected targets for the following project indicators: (a) one year old children fully vaccinated (80%); (b) pre-natal care coverage (55%); and (c) assisted delivery (55%).

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): After a long period of slow implementation after effectiveness due to the elections, the change in Administration, and the change in Project Coordinator, the new Ministry of Public Works and Communications came to grips with the project and more rapid implementation has taken place in FY10. All of the project development objective indicators are measured twice in a project lifetime: midway and at the end. The intermediate indicators show that component 1 has complied with 5 out of 7 indicators. The project communication strategy and the road condition monitoring system still remain to be fulfilled. Some indicators have been achieved ahead of time, such as the creation of the Road Planning Directorate even before the effectiveness of the project. Component 2 works are ahead of schedule as 1,157 km of roads are under contract (significantly more than the expected 523 km). Component 3 works are behind schedule; these are expected to be carried out in 2012. Overall, outcome information is lacking, but the intermediate indicators show good progress on components 1 and 2, which contribute significantly toward the achievement of the development objectives. The project has to make headway in the following months on component 3.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 A restructuring was processed to extend the closing date by 24 months and introduce several changes to accelerate implementation (such as to refocus the project in the most interested and highest capacity Peruvian regions). Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project has completed its fourth year of operation and results are still much lower than expected. Only 70 km of roads have been rehabilitated to date (compared to an initial target of 2,200 km) although 1,713 km have received periodic maintenance (initial target of 2,700 km). An action plan has been agreed between the Bank and the implementing agency (Provias Descentralizado) with a monitoring of key targets every three months. The action plan focuses in particular on the generation of a pipeline of road design studies whose corresponding works could be executed in the coming 2 years. Provias Descentralizado met the agreed targets on Dec. 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, on the basis of which the Bank agreed to extend the closing date by 24 months, while maintaining a monitoring of key targets every 3 months. As of June 30, 2010, about 1,000 km of road design studies have been completed whose corresponding works should be executed in FY11. While 22 regions out of 24 had signed a participatory agreement, there still exists a high heterogeneity across regions in terms of capacity and interest in the program. The two-year extension of the closing date was therefore combined with a restructuring focusing interventions on a reduced number of regions. It is expected that this should be sufficient to fully disburse the loan and achieve the development objectives by the end of the extension period. However, this will be closely linked to the capacity of Provias Descentralizado to continue contracting road design studies at a speedy pace so that the corresponding works can be contracted before or shortly after the upcoming regional elections.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The Project has continued to make progress in the last six months - all Project components are being actively implemented and the disbursement ratio has reached 53% of the Loan proceeds. The managerial renewal in the Commission for the Formalization of Informal Property (COFOPRI) has generated high positive expectations about the future of COFOPRI and the Project in the context of a more stable policy environment. This progress is closely related to the timely implementation of the action plan agreed during the mid-term review. The objectives of the Project are likely to be achieved but will have to be closely monitored during the following six-month period to confirm that COFOPRI and the Project Coordinating Unit can continue implementing project activities.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Over the last 12 months, the project has made significant advances despite the tremendous challenges associated with having the National Public Investment System (SNIP) requirements applied to the processing of each and every subproject. By the end of the 1st quarter of 2010, the project executing unit managed to implement 98% of the subprojects which had been planned (i.e. 288 rural business projects and 325 community projects). The Multi-Sectoral Coordination Unit for the Rural Development of the Sierra (UCMDRS) has been created, is operating as planned and is preparing with the sectors an Implementation Plan for the National Rural Development Strategy for the Sierra. A Rural Development Advisory Committee was created and operates from Lima to guide this work and progress is also being made on the National Monitoring an Evaluation System to oversee all social programs and investments.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The second Phase of the Adaptable Program Loan is in its last year of implementation. Significant progress has been made towards achieving the development objective, as the results achieved for most of the outcome indicators surpassed the initial targets. A total of 119 sub-projects on agricultural research and 334 sub-projects on agricultural extension were financed. The Project greatly contributed to diversifying the range of service suppliers, with over 1,500 entities involved in agricultural research and technology and innovation sub-projects, including producers' organizations, universities and research organizations, commercial firms, public institutions, NGOs, and independent brokers; and more than 1,160 entities involved in agricultural extension sub-projects. Special measures for reaching out to the poorest groups have been effective in benefiting indigenous peoples and women's groups. Key issues to be addressed by the National Institute for Agricultural Innovation (INIA) during the conclusion of this second Phase have to do with the consolidation of the pluralistic nature of the agricultural innovation system, promoting a greater involvement of sub-national authorities, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the competitive funds.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): With the in-depth, Board-approved restructuring that was declared effective in July 2009, the responsibility for execution of most components of the Vilcanota Project was transferred to the Regional Government of Cusco, through its implementing agency, Proyecto Especial Regional Plan Cusco (COPESCO). The objective of the restructuring was to address the implementation problems faced by the Project during its first four years of implementation, thus enhancing the likelihood that the development objectives will be met. Over the past year, COPESCO carried out most of the procurement processes related to the execution of the components under its responsibility, for which contracts are being signed at this time. It is expected that the execution of these components will take place over the next year. These components include land use planning, solid waste management and disaster risk management studies, as well as restoration and improvement of access routes to key archeological sites and creation of tourist information centers. Meanwhile, execution of the part of the Project that remained under the responsibility of the Viceministry of Tourism has moved swiftly and is now almost completed. The main component under Viceministry of Tourism execution is the studies for the Ollantaytambo road and rail bypass, for which a major coordination effort has been made, involving the Ollantaytambo municipality, the Ministry of Transport and INC, the authority in charge of Peru's archeological assets. Overall, in spite of the unavoidable learning curve experienced by the implementing agency, the Project is moving ahead well, and it is expected that its development objectives will be met.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The restructuring supported the Borrower's request to scale down the Project activities and outcome indicators, and align them with the priorities of the current administration in the area of fiscal decentralization. The changes introduced were: (a) An adjustment of the scope of the Project following a partial cancellation request of $2.16 million received from the Borrower on April 14, 2008 (thus reducing the original loan amount of $8.8 million to $6.64 million); (b) A consequent revision of the outcome indicators and the monitoring and evaluation framework as well as a slight revision of the Project Development Objective (PDO) to include the central government within the activities of the Project; (c) A new Project Closing Date extension to September 30, 2010 to allow the completion of the activities supported by the Project; (d) Adjustments to the institutional arrangements in the Project's operational Manual to take into consideration organizational changes in one of the six sub-executing units. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): As envisaged in the last Status of Projects in Execution report, a project restructuring was completed in early FY10. In line with the restructuring, the Project has continued to support the implementation of performance-based budgeting. The Project also funded extensive capacity building for sub-national governments on the use of the integrated financial system and the use of the National Public Investment System. To date, the Project development objectives and the decentralization agenda remain a priority for the Borrower.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): This project, the third one of a series of highly successful rural roads projects co-financed by the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank since 1995, has now completed its third year of implementation. The project had a relatively slow start but implementation strongly caught up in the first semester of 2009 and accelerated in 2010 in the broader context of Peru's stimulus package. Almost half of the loan was disbursed in just one year and all road rehabilitation works have now been either completed or contracted. The cost of road works has been higher than expected, due to the high inflation observed in the construction sector in Peru. Nevertheless, the use of the project's contingency funds as well as a reallocation of funds from other project categories should allow exceeding the initial road rehabilitation target by more than 10%. Progress towards achieving the development objectives of the project has been varied. While road works have significantly progressed, other project activities aiming at supporting road decentralization at the provincial level or the local development window have been almost stalled during the past year. A workshop was organized in Tarapoto during the project's mid-term review (April 2010) to revitalize these "soft" activities and continue supporting road decentralization. Another critical issue is the fact that some of the rehabilitated roads may not benefit from the routine maintenance mechanism that has been successfully used in Peru during the past decade (maintenance by microenterprises). A strategy is being prepared by Provias Descentralizado to address this critical problem.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Significant progress has been made in preparation for the delivery of skills training and the adaptation of the competency-based standards framework. By the end of FY10 the government achieved the following through execution of the Project: (a) organized Industry Advisory Groups for various key sectors, (b) validated 39 occupational standards, (c) completed outreach activities to youth, employers, and training providers, (d) registered youth for training, (e) pre-qualified 39 training providers, (f) completed the first Call for Training Proposals and evaluated their technical merits, and (f) trained a cohort of skills assessors. At the same time, the project has fallen behind schedule, partly due to the negative impact of the economic downturn and resulting drop off in demand to fill vacancies by employers. Based on the mid-term review in June 2010, it was decided that while the development objective remains valid, the target should be adjusted. It was agreed that the project would be restructured in FY11 by (a) reducing the target in terms of numbers of youth to be trained to correspond with the labor market demand, and (b) shifting resources to further strengthen the policy framework, quality assurance and adoption of competency-based occupational standards.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 The project restructuring (a) revised the Project Development Objective statement to better reflect the outputs and outcomes that are achievable and attributable to the Project; (b) revised the results framework to align indicators with the revised Project Development Objective; (c) established a Special Account for the Loan under the Office of the Prime Minister and an Operational Project Account under the Ministry of Health; and (d) revised Schedule 1 of the Loan Agreement to: (i) include a new category "sub-project" for financing subprojects for civil society organizations and (ii) reallocate resources among categories of expenditure to take account of the actual costs of project activities and to reflect the funding needs to support the revised project objectives and activities in the future; and (e) extended the project closing date from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project is an integral part of the National AIDS Program and it has been the major source of financing for the National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2004-2009. The National AIDS Program has made noteworthy achievements in its response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the Government is developing a new NSP for 2010-2015. The project is scheduled to close on September 30, 2010. Considerable progress has been made in achieving the project development objectives since the project restructuring in 2009, particularly in the area of increasing access to treatment and care of people living with HIV/AIDS. Free antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been provided for people living with HIV and AIDS. As of December 2009, a total of 6,646 HIV patients are under treatment and care, and 54% of them are under ART. As a result, the number of deaths due to AIDS has been reduced significantly and the number of reported, newly diagnosed HIV cases has started to decline. AIDS mortality in Tobago witnessed a steady decline in 2009 attributed to ART. However, the proportion of HIV-positive pregnant women who receive a complete course of ART to reduce the risk of mother-to- child transmission is still below the target of 90% (71.2% in 2009). Remedial actions supported by the project are taking place to ensure that targets are reached. The project has strengthened the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Health, other Government agencies, and civil society organizations through workshops and seminars to train trainers and health care providers to ensure an effective multisectoral response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In the area of prevention, the project has supported activities to increase the availability and accessibility of condoms. The project continues to support the strengthening and upgrading of the country's Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) capacity. Almost all pregnant women (95%-97%) have been reached for VCT testing; but the percentage of population being tested is still low (about 2% of the population aged 15 to 49). More effort is needed to strengthen prevention programs in order to reach high risk groups.

Therefore, the objective of the Project remains to increase equity, quality and efficiency in the provision of preschool and primary education in Uruguay through: (a) school-level interventions to raise education quality in schools servicing socio-economically disadvantaged students; (b) the enhancement of the teacher training system and the introduction of new teaching and learning instruments in the classroom; and (c) an increase in the efficiency of primary education institutions. The new loan amount is US$29.9 million Progress toward achieving development objective(s): On October 20, 2009 the Board of Directors approved an Additional Financing (AF) in the amount of US$ 29.9 million for the Project and the extension of its closing date until December 31, 2012. The purpose of this AF is to address the financing gap arising from the increase in project costs associated with a change in the Government of Uruguay's strategy on civil works for Full Time Schools and the significant escalation of construction costs in Uruguay. In terms of implementation, the project is progressing well towards achieving its Project Development Objectives. As of May 2010, 134 Full Time Schools (FTS) have been created through the Project. Since the project started, a total of 36,840 student places have been added in FTS (76.7 percent of project target). Student enrollment, as of May 2010 was 32,804 students. During 2009, the Project supported in-service training activities for 1,439 teachers who work in the 274 schools categorized as of critical socioeconomic context. These schools have an estimated enrollment of 80,000 students in primary education. A total of 408 new teachers completed their certificates to work in FTS during 2009.
