Since the last implementation support mission in Oct/Nov 2017, the Project continues to operate in a limited number of locations due to the lack of household and poverty data through which potential beneficiaries would be identified. Monthly services related to child nutrition and cognitive development are being provided to 4,322 enrolled beneficiaries and two cash transfers to amounting to almost $250,000 have been paid through Bangladesh Post Office-Jawtno cards to beneficiary mothers' accounts. The experience from pilot implementation has provided valuable lessons to the Project team, its partner agencies and field staff, based on which remedial actions and measures are being taken to improve quality of implementation. 2 . Following agreements reached at the time of the last mission in Oct/Nov 2017, the Project will be restructured to allow utilization of existing targeting mechanisms to identify poor eligible beneficiaries to be enrolled in the program. Once the National Household Database (NHD) data is available to the Project, future enrollment would be based on the NHD. The Project will process a revision of the Development Project Proposal (DPP) to reflect adjustments to project design and other areas in need of modification.
