Components Table Name Component 1: Upgrading of Selected Critical Road Infrastructure:(Cost $534.20 M) Component 2: Facilitation of Regional Transport, Trade and Development:(Cost $46.14 M) Component 3: Institutional Development and Program Management:(Cost $16.70 M) Component 4: Enhancing Internet Connectivity:(Cost $21.48 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 Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions 1. Four road works contracts have been completed and handed over to Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). These include; Loichangamatak – Lodwar (Lot 0) 50km, Lodwar – Lokitaung’ Junction (Lot 1) 80km, Lokitaung’ Junction – Kalobeiyei River (Lot 2) 80km 2/27/2023 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report EA Regional Transport , Trade and Development Facilitation Project (Second Phase of Program) (P148853) and Kalobeiyei River – Nadapal (Lot 3) 77km. Also completed is construction of Kainuk bridge which has guaranteed all-year road connectivity between Kenya and South Sudan. 2. The Contract for engineering design of socio-economic infrastructure facilities in West Pokot and Turkana Counties has been signed and preliminary engineering designs prepared. KeNHA is in the process of preparing the final designs and bidding documents. All the activities are on a critical path and the World Bank team has emphasized the need for KeNHA to stringently monitor every activity on the work plan. 3. Rehabilitation of the existing 24-core fiber optic cable from Eldoret to Nadapal/Nakodok (600km) has been completed. The rehabilitated cable was commissioned on October 23, 2020 and is now in use. Meanwhile, construction of a new-build cable covering approximately 630km of main build and 45km spur links (involving civil works for the FOC as well as supply and installation of the cable and associated equipment) is substantially completed. This has contributed to improvement and a 40 percent reduction in the cost of internet services in the region. 4. The Environmental Risk Rating for the Project is considered High due to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks associated with the Project. The World Bank team continues to urge KeNHA to pay special attention to all ongoing contracts to ensure that all safety requirements are adhered to at all times.
