Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Structural Investments - Rehabilitation and Construction of Resilient Urban Infrastructure:(Cost $234.02 M) Component 2: Non-Structural Investments - Technical Assistance and Implementation Support:(Cost $27.52 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 Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions At the mid-term of project implementation, the project has awarded 38 civil works and consulting services contracts. Implementation progress varies across the contracts and four project cities, yet it has generally been delayed because of site clearance bottlenecks. Some measurable progress has been made across the four project cities on the construction of drains, wastewater pipelines, roads, bridges, and public space, but currently still insufficient to noticeably reduce floods, improve sanitation and improve roads. Integrated urban Master Plans have been developed in Hai Duong, Ky Anh and Yen Bai, though resulting from the new Planning Law requirements rather than from technical assistance under the project. The World Bank, cities, and provinces are closely collaborating to remove all bottlenecks and improve implementation progress in the coming months. 1/6/2023 Page 1 of 10 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project (P168290) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Low Low Macroeconomic Substantial Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary High Moderate Substantial Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall Substantial Moderate Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Flood risk IN01237171 ►Area prone to floods in the area covered by the project interventions (Hectare(Ha), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 1,485.90 1,485.90 1,485.90 407.90 Date 25-Mar-2019 31-May-2022 21-Dec-2022 30-Jun-2025 Year 3 target yet to be achieved.
