Before, the PUASEE project restructuring has been approved on November 4 with an extension of the closing date to June 30, 2023, which gives space to complete the works within the required deadlines. SINOHYDRO has already registered the contracts and is in the process of 12/28/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Emergency Water and Electricity Services Upgrading Project (P148797) completing the prerequisites (guaranteed start-up advance invoice, performance guarantee, ESHS performance guarantee) before receiving the service order to start work. It is expected that the works will start on January 2022. As of November 2021, 287,068 people had benefited from improved water and electricity services under the project in Bissau representing 84% of the final target (342,100 people). These people benefited, either from access for the first time to piped water thanks to the program of household connections and standpipes (76,768 people), or from improved access to water services following the strengthening of water production capacity (63,360 people). In addition, 210,300 people benefited from improved electricity service through prepaid meters. The final target of 342,100 people will be reached (or even exceeded) when the AF works are completed before the project closing date. Progress on the different components Component A - Water supply The water works financed under the parent Project were completed on September 2019 and are currently operated by EAGB. The civil works for the AF water activities will start on January 2022. Component B - Electricity supply The electricity works and equipment funded under the parent project have been implemented and installed successfully. The Bank supported the Client in developing a least-cost generation expansion plan which was submitted on June 2020 to the MERN for approval. The plan was recently approved by the Government of Guinea-Bissau. This was a disbursement condition for the start of the electricity sub-component works under the project’s AF. So, the electricity civil works will start on January 2022. Component C - Support to project implementation and EAGB The consortium (EDP-ADP-LCBS) resumed work on July 1st and implemented with results the 6 months priority action plan to improve EAGB management, the remaining tasks should be completed by March 2022. Then, the consortium will continue to implement the Performance Improvement Plan agreed under the services contract. The services contract has been reviewed for 2020/2021 by the auditing-firm ASPA-Utility, the audit report will be submitted in January 2022 to EAGB Board and Government.
