KEY ISSUES & STATUS 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions NIDP is commended for its efforts to speed up early implementation following the project’s effectiveness in May 2024. The project implementation unit (PIU) staffing is nearly complete. All project systems have been set up. The MOU template for registration partners was finalized, and the first registration partner, EthioTelecom, was onboarded in August. NIDP is currently finalizing arrangements to onboard more government-owned organizations, with MOUs expected to be signed in October 2024. The tender documentation for key procurements is nearing completion, namely for 1) hiring Super Agents (including the private sector) to scale up Fayda registration for residents around the country, 2) Systems integrator, and 3) Fayda registration kits. The World Bank team was pleased to note the extensive consultations on the practicalities of collaboration with other sectors, such as social protection, education, and the implementation of the refugee component. These early efforts would allow the project to achieve significant results in the first few years. 5.
