Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

Additionally, with the recent acquisition of additional materials, progress in the achievement of the water social connections in Bangui has again picked up with SODECA planning to begin their development in Bambari and Berberati in the coming weeks. However, remaining infrastructure works for both energy and water in Bambari and Berberati are not advancing at the desired pace. For water, this is particularly due to continuing delays in the delivery of materials. It is critical that the government team provide continuous supervision to ensure that the contractors expedite deliveries and properly mobilize their personnel to complete all works by the project closing date of June 30, 2023 (following the one-year extension granted during the project's restructuring in June 2022). While the project has made steady progress towards achieving its objectives in access to improved water services, achieving the final targets depend largely on the remaining production and transmission works in Bambari and 12/28/2022 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Water and Electricity Upgrading Project (P162245) Berberati, as well as the subsequent operationalization of the community water points and the development of household connections. The project’s cumulative disbursement rate has reached 69 percent as of 15th December 2022.
