No I. SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES The original project was approved by the Board of Executive Directors on April 28, 2011 and became effective on February 6, 2012. The original project included an Education for All Fast Track Initiative (EFA-FTI) Catalytic Fund (CF) grant of US$90 million (TF-99811) and an IDA credit of US$71 million equivalent (IDA-49300). An Additional Financing (AF) of US$40 million equivalent (IDA-51000) was approved in 2012 to expand the project to also cover Early Childhood Development activities. A second AF was approved on July 24, 2015 (consisting of an IDA Grant for US$50 million equivalent (IDA-D0840) and a grant from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) for US$57.9 million (TF- A0429)). A third AF was approved on June 2, 2017 in the amount of US$59 million (IDA-60750). The total project amount, including IDA and Trust Fund resources, is US$367.9 million. Most of the grants and credits are fully disbursed. Only the GPE portion of the second AF (TF-A08429) and the IDA credit provided under the third AF (IDA- 60750) remain open. Disbursements as of June 27, 2019 total US$332.75 million (91.03 percent). The project development objective (PDO) is to improve access to and quality and equity of education. The project is currently rated Moderately Satisfactory in terms of PDO achievement and overall implementation progress. Three out of the seven PDO indicators have been achieved (surpassed) reflective of the significant progress made in Mozambique in terms of expanding access to primary education and increasing the number of qualified primary teachers. Two other indicators related to textbook availability and transparency standards are expected to be achieved by the proposed revised closing date. Progress on improving student retention and enhancing parity across provinces has however been more limited and the targets for these two indicators are unlikely to be met. Overall, the performance of the Borrower has been satisfactory, and implementation of activities has progressed as expected, with some delays in the early childhood development component (Component 3), which is now in the process of being finalized. The proposed six-month extension of the closing date for the third IDA AF (IDA-60750) from June 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019 is being requested as part of the emergency response support provided by the World Bank to Mozambique following the devastating cyclones Idai and Kenneth. The extension would allow up to US$15 million of the undisbursed funds to be used to finance activities such as school grants and textbook replacement to support the more than 4,200 classrooms, 377,000 students and close to 9,000 teachers affected by the cyclones. This would be an extension of activities already funded under the project so no revision to PDO, components or the project description would be needed. The results framework would also remain unchanged. An action plan for the disbursement of the remaining balance has been prepared and agreed upon with the Borrower. The proposed closing date extension meets the requirements of the World Bank Investment Project Financing (IPF) Directive regarding extension of closing dates, specifically: (i) the project objectives remains achievable; (ii) the performance of the Borrower remains satisfactory; (iii) the World Bank and the Borrower agree on actions that will be undertaken by the Borrower to complete project critical activities; and (iv) there are no outstanding audits and/or interim financial reports.
