Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Design, supply, and installation of electricity distribution infrastructure:(Cost $286.00 M) Design, supply, and installation of BEST equipment:(Cost $131.00 M) Supervision of the construction and technical advisory:(Cost $12.00 M) Project coordination and technical assistance:(Cost $36.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project reached effectiveness in March 2022. Implementation status is as follows. Component 1: Design, Supply, and Installation of Electricity Distribution Infrastructure Tenders have been already launched for Mauritania and Niger for Supply and Installation and for Senegal for Design, Supply and Installation (DSI). Signing of the DSI contract with the selected bidder in Senegal is expected by end of November 2023. Procurement is expected to be completed in Mauritania and Niger in January 2024. Component 2: Design, Supply and Installation of BEST equipment The tender documents for the design, supply and installation of the battery energy storage equipment for Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Niger were launched in September 2022. In Côte d'Ivoire, the contract with the successful bidder was signed on June 19, 2023. The agreed implementation 12/22/2023 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Regional Electricity Access and BEST Project (P167569) schedule provides the completion of the operational acceptance phase in July 2025. Overseas and on-site training is also planned for successful implementation. However, although the procurement process was also finalized for Mali and Niger, clarifications/negotiations with the bidder were deemed unsuccessful due to non-compliance with the technical specifications set out in the request for bids documents. The procurement process will be relaunched as soon as possible Component 3: Supervision of the construction and technical advisory The recruitment of the Owner's Engineer (CI) for the battery part has been completed and the contracts were signed by all the countries concerned in May 2023. The contracts are currently being implemented. With regard to the recruitment of the owner's engineers for the access component, the contracts with the selected bidder have been signed and the kick-off meeting was held on October 13, 2023.
