The restructuring takes into account that some of the project's PDO results indicators were beyond the control of the project, that numerous activities were outside of the mandate of the Ministry of Forestry Economy and Sustainable Development (MEFDD), and that the overall project design was complex. The restructuring was completed on October 2, 2015. The restructured project will have three components focusing on (i) modernizing the forestry administration, including the rolling out of information systems in the MEFDD; (ii) supporting local and indigenous populations around forest concessions and reforestation perimeters to develop income-generating activities; and (iii) producing strategic knowledge for reorientation of forest sector development, as a key input to the country's economic diversification strategy and re-thinking the Ministry's internal and external communication. The project has made good progress on the finalization of TORs for numerous activities, many of which are now in the procurement process. This puts the project on track for a markedly improved disbursement rate.
