Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: On-grid electrification:(Cost $183.00 M) Component 2: Policy and regulatory actions to implement the national electrification strategy and related investment programs:(Cost $7.00 M) Component 3: Technical Assistance and Implementation Support:(Cost $10.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Project has made some progress with major procurement processes underway such as the acquisition of necessary meters and equipment, as well as streetlamps, the recruitment of firms/consultants for their installation, and, consultants to carry out technical feasibility studies in the project areas of intervention. A policy regarding the reduction of connection fees was adopted and aims at significantly reducing the payment of upfront fees which will facilitate the connections of vulnerable households to the network. As of December 31, 2022, 32,231 new households have been connected and integrated into SBEE's commercial database. In addition, a new electrification decree for technical norms and standards were developed and adopted by the Ministers of Energy and Trade. The elaboration of gender policies for the benefit of the ME and SBEE, aiming at potentially increase the number of women technicians and engineers in the Benin energy sector, is also ongoing. 3/8/2023 Page 1 of 10 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Benin Electricity Access Scale-up (BEAS) Project (P173749) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Moderate Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other Moderate -- -- Overall Moderate Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Expanding access to grid electricity services to households IN01252073 ►People provided with new or improved electricity service (Number, Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 780,000.00 Date 31-Dec-2021 21-Jul-2022 21-Feb-2023 31-Dec-2026 150,000 meters and connection accessories are being acquired by the project.
