This assessment is based on the findings of a desk review of progress assessment and follow-up communications with the EMPODERAR-PICAR, the implementing entity, up to November 30, 2018. An implementation support mission is scheduled for mid-January 2019. PICAR AF (totaling around US$60 million equivalent) is focusing on a total of 104 municipalities in five departments (Chuquisaca, Cochabamba, Oruro, La Paz and Potosi). Key progress achieved so far include the completion of: (i) the prioritization of 558 beneficiary communities eligible for funding (category A) and (ii) the preparation of 348 Participatory Community Plans (PPC) that have led to the identification of 1116 subprojects, which represents the entire portfolio to be financed by the Additional Financing. To date, the number of beneficiary families of PICAR and PICAR AF is 31,841. PICAR has 12 more months remaining until its closing (November 30, 2019) to complete the implementation of the subproject investments. This is an 12/18/2018 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report BO PICAR Community Investment in Rural Areas (P107137) ambitious but feasible implementation effort if the accelerated pace of execution recorded since April 2017 is maintained. To better ensure the sustainability of the subproject investments in the post-Project period, EMPODERAR has developed an action plan currently underway to enhance technical assistance and accompanying support to beneficiary communities in the productive, operation and maintenance phases of the subprojects to complement the technical quality of the investments. A training to update project staff and consultants on social and environmental safeguards has been completed across the 5 regional offices (URC).
