Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Overall Progress Update: Overall, the verified results are quite positive in that Disbursement Targets for cumulative DLIs 2, and 7 have been substantially met, while the annual Year 3 (2019) targets for DLIs 3 and 5 were also met. The extent of achievement of DLIs 8.2 and 8.3 is pending further verification with regard to delays observed in updating physical and financial data in the provincial and national websites. Based on achievements documented in the first Verification report for DLIs 2,3,5 and 7, SDR 33.146 million (equivalent to US$46 million) has been approved and this has increased overall disbursement to increase from 19% to 48% of the total credit. Next steps: The next implementation support mission (which will also be the Mid-term review) will be undertaken in March 2021 to reach a final agreement on the scope for restructuring and cancellation of part of the credit. Following the restructuring/MTR mission, the team will proceed with the restructuring to be formally submitted for Bank approval before the end of June 2021. The task team will continually keep following up closely on the implementation of the second verification and end line surveys, to ensure the reports are provided on time for the submission of the final withdrawal application before the project closes on December 31, 2021.

There exist clear regulations specifically guiding implementation of project activities, which are reasonably adequate to promote transparency, economy and efficiency for the Program, and subject to compliance with the Program Action Plan (PAP) for procurement related actions. The first Independent verification for the project implementation by SAV was initiated in May 2020 then the first audit report was shared & discussed with the Bank within October 2020. Roll- out of the SAV Independent verification was delayed due to travel restrictions as an impact of COVID-19. Possible risks of Fraud & Corruption practices (at small scales) at 18 project provinces. Two options for project restructuring with possible risks of partial cancellation of loan funds have been following up on both sides for final decision to be made in March 2021.
