No Components Table Name Component 1: Management of energy sector financial flows:(Cost $5.30 M) Component 2: Sector Planning and coordination:(Cost $3.50 M) Component 3: Energy access:(Cost $2.00 M) Component 4: Natural gas:(Cost $3.20 M) Component 5: Project management:(Cost $2.00 M) Follow up activities and Contingencies:(Cost $4.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions GESTIP has been restructured per the request of the Government of Ghana because: (i) some of the newly added activities require a change in safeguards risk rating; (ii) some originally planned activities have been dropped but are associated with project indicators; (iii) the Results Framework needed to be updated; and (iv) the project would not disburse the full allocation nor achieve PDO fully unless an extension was granted. Accordingly, the restructuring, which was approved on June 24, 2022, reflects various changes, including (i) change in the close date; (ii) change in component name and cost; (iii) change in disbursement estimates; (iv) revisions to the results framework; (v) change to the safeguards risk rating and categorization; (vi) change to legal covenants; and (vii) change of implementation schedule. The changes have been reflected in an amendment to the Financing Agreement. GESTIP activities are aimed at strengthening the capacity of the energy sector to implement sector 6/29/2022 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ghana Energy Sector Transformation Initiative Project (P163984) reforms and improve energy sector planning and coordination in Ghana; the activities are essential to the implementation of the Energy Sector Recovery Program (ESRP), dedicated to improving sector finances, and are also key inputs to the forthcoming Program for Results operation under preparation. Three key results have been achieved so and include: (a) 100 percent of power sector revenues are allocated to sector entities through the Cash Waterfall Mechanism; (b) Gas supply and demand study is now complete; and (c) roughly 126 sector staff (of a targeted 50) have received training in relevant topics. It is expected that Clean Cooking strategy is adopted and communicated to stakeholders by end August 2022.
