SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES This project paper seeks approval for a no-cost extension to the closing date for the IDA grant D-1840 to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) under component five of the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) in the Horn of Africa (P161067). The grant was signed on May 23, 2017, with an original closing date of April 29, 2022. Pursuant to a restructuring of February 4, 2022, the current closing date is December 31, 2022. This restructuring paper would extend the closing date to April 30, 2023, aligned with the current closing date of the project (P161067). The purpose of the IGAD grant is to support regional coordination and knowledge exchange between the four DRDIP countries, being Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. Under Grant D-1840, IGAD provides technical assistance to the Government of Somalia on development responses to forced displacement. The grant complements a US$5 million grant to IGAD under P152822. Progress under the IGAD grant was rated moderately satisfactory in the last two implementation support missions (May and November 2022). DRDIP support has helped to establish the Regional Secretariat (RS) for Mixed Migration and Forced Displacement within IGAD. The RS is spearheading activities in the HoA to promote policy reform and operational learning on development responses to forced displacement. As of December 14, 2022, disbursement for IDA D-1840 stood at US$2.45 m (82 percent). Major achievements under the grant include: • commissioned a Capacity and Institutional Assessment in Areas of Return and Integration for Somalia, which informed a detailed implementation action plan, learning plan and procurement plan to help achieve five interrelated outcomes: (i) strengthen existing coordination mechanisms at federal and regional level; (ii) policy development and legal frameworks to promote durable solutions; (iii) strengthening the information system for durable solutions to forced displacement; and (iv) enhanced monitoring, evaluation and learning system. • developed a social cohesion policy; • formulated National Commission for Refugees and IDPs (NCRI) Strategic Plan (2021-2024); • established a durable solutions database (digital platform/dashboard for information management) including data on IDPs; • upgraded and expanded the refugee-returnees registration system to include IDPs; • mapped existing socio-economic services in areas of return and reintegration (Baidoa, Kismayo, and Mogadishu); and • Provided needs-based specific technical assistance to the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS). Proposed changes. In accordance with a letter of request received from IGAD dated August 16, 2022, it is proposed under the restructuring to extend the closing date for IDA Grant D1840 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2023. This will allow sufficient time to complete remaining activities, including: (a) undertake Durable Solutions Coordination Forums between the Federal Durable Solutions Secretariat, the Federal Government of Somalia and The World Bank Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) in the Horn of Africa (P161067) Benadir Regional Authority; (b) ensure improved coordination of NCRI activities at the national and sub-national levels; (c) facilitate and coordinate efforts for national and regional durable solutions/social cohesion policy familiarization and implementation of the action plan; (d) updating mapping of existing of socio-economic services in areas of return and reintegration (Baidoa, Kismayo, and Mogadishu); and (e) NCRI Durable Solutions Training of Trainers (train NCRI and regional Commission staff on Durable Solutions). There are no outstanding audit reports on this grant. III.
