Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO ►Satisfactory ►Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) ►Moderately Satisfactory ►Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Overview: The ISR is prepared based on the May 2019 mission and the annual report submitted by the implementing agency (CPSCL). Overall, Program implementation continues to be on track. The mission confirmed PDO rating as satisfactory and upgraded the IP rating to Satisfactory, given (a) the strengthened rollout of SP1, SP2, and SP3 activities, and (b) the strong institutional ownership and technical leadership of the operation. Key Achievements. The Program has provided support to critical systemic decentralization reforms. Specific results include (a) 97% of LGs met the MMCs in 2019 and 90% of LGs met the PA minimum score in 2018 (vs. 76% in 2017), already exceeding the parent Program end target of 70%; (b) 291, 929 beneficiaries have access to improved municipal infrastructure (works completed as of April 2019); (c) achievement of the DLIs has been satisfactory; (d) formal training through CFAD (training entity) were conducted and more specifically, 78% of LGs have achieved 70% of the training actions prescribed in their PARC, and initial activities under the demand-driven TA system carried out by the implementing agency (CPSCL); (e) 234 km of roads and 2 206 light points have been constructed/rehabilitated and out of the projects realized directly by LGs, 18 out of 19 have already launched the calls for tender to conduct technical studies; (f) the new version of the LGs portal was launched in March 2019, under the auspices of the Prime minister and the MALE minister; (g) the decree on municipal staff recruitment was published in March 2019 and the mobility decree should be published by the end of 2019, therefore HRM objectives under DLI 9 are on track to be met; (h) ILD 8.3.b has been achieved as 80% of LGs audit reports were published in 2018, the government was proactive to improve LGs’ accounting reform and the Court of Audit’s reform. Some obstacles have been encountered which could affect implementation. The Government has been able to make some progress on most of the constraints to the effective implementation of the original components of Sub-Program 3 (e.g. they have launched the demand-driven TA, they are enabling voluntary training facilitators to continue serving LGs and the question of the remuneration of these facilitators is being resolved). However, the team will need to continue monitoring the roll out of the activities of this component so that LGs receive their requested TA in a timely fashion. The Government has identified supplementary support to enable LGs to execute investments more efficiently and this effort will be supported through a WB study on improving LG investment planning. More broadly, significant staffing and human resources constraints in local governments remain a significant risk to the achievement of program objectives. Based on good practices and the local context, the government and the World Bank are working on a set of activities designed to fill key managerial and technical vacancies in LGs with qualified staff. These activities are reflected in the AF through a new DLI, which focuses in part on implementing a short-term action plan for staffing in LGs and includes (i) the adoption of a government decree in 2019 with the objective of establishing financial and non-financial incentives to facilitate redeployment of staff from central and deconcentrated units to priority LGs, (ii) preparing and formalizing job descriptions related to the six priority posts; and (iii) developing an electronic staff mobility portal in 2020 to increase transparency staff recruitment and improve the matching between job seekers and hiring agencies. 10/9/2019 Page 1 of 21 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report TN-Urban Dev. and Local Governance (P130637) Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed % Disbursed P130637 IBRD-84130 Effective USD 300.00 300.00 0.00 198.85 57.30 78% P130637 IBRD-88870 Effective USD 130.00 130.00 0.00 0.30 129.68 0.2% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
