Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component No. 1: Planning for Sustainable Urban Growth:(Cost $4.55 M) Component No. 2: Project Implementation Support and Management Cost:(Cost $0.45 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The implementation of the GZ-Integrated Cities and Urban Development Project (ICUD) has improved significantly by the project's mid-term review. The mid-term review mission found that the Project Development Objective (PDO) remains relevant and achievable. Since the downgrade of Implementation Progress (IP) rating to Moderately Satisfactory in October 2017, the Ministry has demonstrated strong commitment to the project and the implementation of its activities, with support from the project's implementation unit and the Municipal Development Lending Fund (MDLF). The Urban Growth Scenarios (Sub-component 1.1) have been completed (April 2019), and the demand-driven support (Sub-component 1.2/1.3) is underway and has conducted a number of trainings for local government staff. Considering these efforts and progress in implementation, IP has been upgraded to Satisfactory Two of the three PDO indicators have been achieved under the project. The PDO rating however will remain Moderately Satisfactory until there is an uptake in disbursement. 4/22/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report GZ-Integrated Cities and Urban Development Project (P150991) A number of technical assessments will be launched in the coming period, including, a Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA).
