Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured) The project development objective is to strengthen the coordination capacity of the Pacific Aviation Safety Office to deliver regional aviation safety and security oversight, and technical and advisory services to the Pacific Island Countries.

Likewise, six consultancies have been recruited, as scheduled in the Additional Financing: Regulatory Advisor, Marketing Advisor, USOAP Advisor, PASONet Project Manager, RPAS Consultancy, and Legal Advisor. 2/5/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Aviation Safety Office Reform (P145057) Key training activities, the Pacific Inspector Development Program (PIDP) and the Civil Aviation Authorities Strengthening Program (CAASP) were launched and will continue during year 2020. As of December 6, 2019 (date of latest mission), project’s overall disbursement is US$3.49 million, which represents 52.5% of the project’s total financing (original and second additional financing IDA grants, as well as the PRIF multi-donor trust fund). The PRIF Grant Closing Date has been extended by 6 months, until June 30, 2020. Since the VSAT equipment actual contract costs were lower than scheduled, allowing some savings within PRIF Grant, PASO will determine the use of the remaining funds and submit their proposal to the Bank by February 14, 2020.

PASO Council endorsed a new organizational framework that was recommended as part of the “PASO Governance and Management” Comments: assignment, which sought to have a General Manager, Operations Manager, and a Corporate Services Manager rather than appointing technical experts as fulltime inspectorate staff. The indicator has been revised as part of a restructuring under the Second Additional Finance.

Based on an International Civil Aviation Organization proposal to evaluate Regional Safety and Security Oversight Organizations (RSOO) through a tiered Global Aviation Safety Oversight System approach based on service classification, a new indicator would reflect an expansion of PASO’s likely classification as a Level 1 provider to achieve a Level 2 outcome at the end of the project. The change would require signatories to the PICASST Treaty to approve changes to PASO’s mandate, Comments: responsibilities and powers, and essentially delegate sovereignty (e.g. the power to ground airlines) from States’s CAAs to PASO. PASO organized a Regional Aviation Ministers’ Meeting on 23 March 2020, to make proposals for the amendment of the PICASST treaty that would vest PASO with the above- mentioned powers, and that would enable PASO to attain ‘Level 2’ classification. deliver regional aviation safety & security oversight, and technical and advisory services to PICs IN00730839 ►Indicator Two: Establishment of a Register of Inspectors (ROI) (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Target Met.

The registry comprises qualified technical experts from Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Comments: and Tonga across the following specializations; aerodromes, airworthiness, air navigation services, and flight operations.

The Comments: figure represents the average ‘planned versus actual’ scheduled minimum annual work 2/5/2020 Page 3 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Aviation Safety Office Reform (P145057) program performed for all 10 PASO Member States. The calculation is determined as follows: (a) if the number of days performed for a Member State exceeds the planned work days due to additional, ad-hoc activity requests, a value of 100% is recorded for that State; and (b) if zero days were planned for a Member State, the country’s contribution is excluded from the average calculation, rather than accounting zero. This method avoids a misleading deflation or inflation of the average. With a target for undertaking 80 percent of the recommended Annual Work Programs implemented by PASO member states, implementation rates average 68.7% (2014); 49.9% (2015); 61.7% (2016), 80.1% (2017), 88.8% (2018), and (76.4%) in 2019. The 2019 figure has been affected by the strict application of the Debt Management Policy, which led to the suspension of services to five States that had arrears with PASO of over 70 days.
