Implementation Status and Key Decisions
The ASPIRE program has been making significant progress despite the initial delays. At least three Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs) are
expected to the achieved in FY23. Hiring of the Independent Verification Agency (IVA) firm to verify the completed DLIs is expected to be completed
by March 30, 2023. The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MoFEPT) was able to fully staff the PCU, including hiring of the
Program Coordinator. All provincial ASPIRE teams have been hired and trained on operational and technical aspects of the program. All provinces
have submitted their Annual Work Plans for FY23 and are implementing them. Balochistan maintained the high utilization rate from last year and, as
a result, received two tranches of allocations: US$1.4 million transferred in November 2022 and US$2 million in January 2023. MoFEPT will work
with the provincial SEDs to ensure that all provinces comply with the system strengthening requirements that will support standardized reporting,
M&E, financial management, procurement and safeguards for all provincial activities. The restructuring process is ongoing and is expected to be
completed by the end of March 2023.

Comments
Risks were considered for calibration during the last ISR and remain unchanged. Substantial risks remain: (i) Macroeconomic risk: the economic
effects of the pandemic were compounded by the devastating floods from August 2022 and placed a fiscal strain at the macroeconomic level as well
as on all sector budgets; (ii) Institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability are affected by the continuous turnovers in the Government
and complex hiring procedures. The Bank team has engaged with MoFEPT frequently to address the procurement bottlenecks.
To mitigate any substantial risks, the Bank team is working closely with the MoFEPT and providing any necessary support required by the
Government. MoFEPT and WB are coordinating with the Finance Department to ensure that all necessary funds transfer are made to ASPIRE to
fulfill program objectives. To counter any capacity and implementation gaps, the Bank has provided regular trainings to the PCU and MoFEPT on
PfR modality, international assessments, and monitoring.
