Delay in signing the Financing Agreement - The delay has been as a result of a general lack of understanding of the Attorney General's (AG) department on the concept of a PPP as well as how the Bank works. The AG has requested amendments to the General Conditions of contract and sought extra assurance that the FA will not impinge on the rights of the RDA. A comfort letter has been issued by legal counsel confirming that the Bank does not utilize legal documents to introduce regulatory changes to a legal framework of a country and that the DBMOT contract between the RDA and the contracting entity is governed by the laws of the country. A response is awaited from the External Resources Department in order to proceed. 2. Delay in commencing land acquisition - The Government has not made a firm decision to provide the project of "specified project" status under the land acquisition regulations of 2013 that will readily provide the framework necessary for the project to acquire land in line with Bank's safeguards policies. Therefore, the team in discussion with the relevant authorities is exploring alternative options that will satisfy the entitlement matrix in line with Bank's safeguards policies and Government procedures. 3. Finalization of the Bid Documents - Given that DBMOT methodology is new to RDA and this will be master document that will be used for OPRC format project financed by any donor in the future, considerable amount needs to be spent in refining the document. The RDA however need to be guided by the Consultant who has been appointed to carry out this work. The consultant needs to step up his performance to ensure achievement at this stage.The Bank team has requested that the bid documents be vetted by the consultant prior to submitting it to the Bank for formal approval. Among pertinent chapters that should be included in the documents are Road Safety measures and Safety measures at construction sites. 4. Other Implementation issues - A couple of implementation issues such as appointment of staff to the PMU, commencing procurement of consultancies for institutional strengthening work has been lagging behind. This is also as a result of the Ministry reluctance awaiting the FA to be signed. 5. The milestones to be achieved - (i) The Operations manual has been approved on the June 29, 2016 prior to the deadline. (ii) The user satisfaction survey for the collection of baseline data has commenced and is expected to be completed by January 7, 2017. This is delayed beyond the target date of completion of July 31, 2016, although this does not effect the monitoring of the contract as the contract has not been awarded yet. 1/30/2017 Page 2 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Transport Connectivity and Asset Management Project (P132833) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Macroeconomic  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  Substantial  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  Substantial  Substantial  Substantial Environment and Social  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  Low  Low  Low Other  --  --  -- 1/30/2017 Page 3 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Transport Connectivity and Asset Management Project (P132833) Overall  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Reduction in average roughness on the selected corridor(s) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 3.16 -- -- 2.50 Date 01-Jul-2016 -- -- 30-Jun-2026 PHINDPDOTBL  Increased user satisfaction on the corridor - Baseline and Target to be decided by July 31, 2016 and data will be gender disaggregated (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 0.00 Date 01-Jul-2016 -- -- 30-Jun-2026 PHINDPDOTBL  Percentage of the value of new investments on existing road links selected by the RDA using the asset management system.
