I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING
A. Project Status
1. Progress towards the achievement of the Project Development Objective (PDO) and the overall project
implementation progress have been assessed as satisfactory. During the life of the project, the commitment of the
Government of Morocco (GoM) to achieve the project’s objective continued unabated. However, during implementation
the project and its specific implementation modalities have become more ambitious, in part thanks to exposure to
international best practices which was facilitated by the World Bank.
2. The PDO is to expand coverage of a unique identifying number (UIN) for the Moroccan population and foreign
residents, and to improve the targeting of Social Safety Net (SSN) programs. To achieve the PDO and develop an
accurate, inclusive, digital identification and targeting system, the project supports the development of three (3) key
elements:
a) A Social Registry (SR) for the gathering of socio-economic information from households to estimate the level of
consumption per household member and, on this basis, identify the applicants who are eligible for SSN programs.
The SR constitutes the first level of the universal social targeting system. Its objective is to improve the targeting
of SSN programs, reduce fraud and error, including duplicate or ghost beneficiaries.
b) A National Population Registry (NPR) for the accurate identification and digital authentication of individuals,
which collects, registers, stores biographic and biometric identity data, and issues an UIN on demand called the
Civil and Social Digital Identifier (Identifiant Digital Civil et Social, IDCS) for the Moroccan population (including
minors and newborns) and the foreigners living in Morocco. Obtaining an IDCS is part of the application for SSN
programs, though the number will also be optional for the rest of the population.
c) A National Registry Agency (NRA) manages on behalf of the state the NPR and the SR enrolments as well as the
effective use of both registers’ information to ensure a high level of protection and confidentiality of the
collected data in compliance with the Moroccan data protection law (Law n° 09-08 of 18 February 2009) and the
guidelines established by the Moroccan Data Protection Authority (Commission nationale de contrôle de la
protection des données à caractère personnel- CNPD).

Identity and Targeting for Social Protection Project (P155198)
3. The successful implementation of this strategic project includes the following significant achievements:
a) All technical and legal prerequisites for rolling out the NPR, the UIN (IDCS) and the SR have been met . The Law
72-18 related to the implementation of the NPR, the SR, and the NRA was adopted and published in the
National Gazette on August 13, 2020, and the council of ministers adopted three implementation regulations
on the NPR, the IDCS, the SR, and the NRA during May-August 2021.
b) All major procurement processes related to the NPR, the NPR System Integrator, the biometric services, and
the development of the SR Management Information System (MIS) have been completed and contracts are
either executed or under implementation. The MOSIP software was also delivered, tested, and incorporated
in the NPR software by the Ministry of Interior (MoI).
c) The SR Proxy Means Testing (PMT) scoring formula was updated and validated by the Inter-ministerial
Steering Committee (IMSC) on June 10, 2021. Simulations show that the PMT scoring formula correctly
identifies seventy (70) percent of the poorest quintile of the population, a marked improvement compared to
the 2019/2020 performance of RAMED (30 percent) and Tayssir (47 percent). The scoring formula was
updated by the High Planning Commission (Haut Commissariat au Plan-HCP) using the most recent pilot
household survey (ENSR December 2019/March 2020). The preparatory work for the use of the new scoring
formula by RAMED, Tayssir, DAAM, or their successor programs and any new Social Protection (SP) program
(i.e., the announced Family Allowance (FA) Program) is also well under way.
d) Complementary activities financed outside the project are also well advanced. These includes several activities
financed either by the MoI or the European Union, including the digitalization of the Civil registry local offices,
the development of communication campaigns, the development of the error and fraud system of the SR, and
the operation of the data exchanges through the inter-governmental gateway.
4. On these solid foundations, the GoM will start piloting the NPR and the SR in the Rabat-Kenitra region,
starting with the NPR from December 2021 to August 2022 and continuing with the SR during March 2022 to
December 2022. The objectives of the NPR pilot are to: (i) assess the quality of the access of citizen to service centers;
(ii) measure the pre-enrollment and enrollment functionalities of the application; (iii) test the functionality of the
enrollment data upload link; (iv) receive and process enrollment data and data validation of the National Electronic ID
Card (Carte nationale d’identité électronique-CNIE), the Civil registry and the Register of foreigners; (v) test the
components of Data Center operations such as backup, replication, library, and application uptime; (vi) manage the life
cycle of the IDCS number; (vii) integrate ecosystem partners and exchange data; and (viii) test the authentication
features and the trusted service provider devices. As for the SR, the objectives of the pilot phase are to: assess the
quality of the access of households to service centers and to SR portal; manage the lifecycle of scoring of variables;
manage the life cycle of the scoring method and formula; measure the pre-registration and registration functionalities of
the SR application; test the functionality of the scoring data collection and verification; integrate ecosystem partners
(social programs, service providers for social programs, and scoring data verification providers) and exchange data;
exchange and reconcile declared scoring data and those obtained from public and private third parties; test the SR
components of Data Center operations such as backup, replication, library, and application uptime; test eligibility to
social programs checks features; and check the errors and fraud detection functionalities. The pilot phase will allow the
GoM to quickly identify issues and better calibrate the systems to maximize project impact and scale-up registration
nationwide quickly and effectively during the expansion phase. After the completion of the first phase of the pilot, the
national rollout of the two registries, supported by the extension of the project, will then start, with a special focus on
the beneficiaries of the SSN programs. It is estimated that by the end of the first phase of the national rollout, on
September 30, 2023, the NPR will have covered about 8 million individuals and the SR about 4 million individuals.

5. The implementation of the three project components is progressing in a satisfactory manner:
Component 1: Design and Development of an NPR with an UIN, and Establishment of a National Identity Agency (NIA).
Investments totaling US$3.918 million have been engaged from the loan proceed to support the development, piloting,
and the NPR national rollout (phase 1). Several legal, regulatory, administrative, and technical inputs have been
completed, and the pilot phase of the NPR system is ready to be launched:
a) An UIN generator was developed by the MoI in 2017 and has been used to attribute IDCSs to newborns since
January 2018. Since the NPR was yet to be developed, the UIN generator was stored in the Civil registry MIS.
Once the NPR and the NRA are operational, the same UIN generator will be used in both ID registries, the NPR,
and the Civil registry.
b) The attribution of UINs/IDCSs for newborns is well advanced, and the Project Development Objective Indicator
(PDOI) number 1 related to the 266 thousand newborns receiving UINs can be achieved by the proposed
extended closing date of the project. The process of attributing IDCSs to newborns started in 2018 in Rabat. It
was extended to Casablanca in 2019 and is gradually expanded throughout Morocco, apace with the
digitization of the Civil registry local offices (activity independently financed by MoI). As a result, at the end of
2020, this indicator reached 161 thousand newborns with IDCS attributed and inscribed on their birth
certificates in the same year, bringing the cumulative number of IDCSs issued since January 2018 to over
400,000.
c) The NPR Information System (IS) is ready for deployment and will attribute IDCSs to the rest of the population.
Atos developed the IS, a System Integrator (SI) that incorporated (i) the core enrollment-deduplication-
authentication software produced by the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B)
as an open-source (the MOSIP project); and (ii) the biometric deduplication and authentication software
provided by Idemia.
d) Three PBCs with ten (10) indicators support this component. Three (3) indicators have been achieved and
disbursed, while two (2) others have been achieved using a different modality than the one specified in the
Loan Agreement. Of the remaining five (5) PBC indicators, two (2) intermediate indicators will be eliminated as
part of the restructuring to shift resources towards the investment component, while two (2) final PBC
indicators will be achieved within the loan extension period, and one will be revised and achieved during the
extended implementation period.
6. Component 2: Design and Development of an SR. Investments totaling US$0.253 million have been engaged
from the loan proceeds to support the SR’s development, piloting, and national rollout (phase 1). Progress on this
component can be summarized as follows:
a) Sub-Component 2.1. the Design and Development of the SR systems finances the SR IS, which covers all critical
business functions of a registry. The NPR revised architecture led to a re-thinking of the scope of this component
during 2018-19. Initially, the SR was thought of as an independent but interoperable IT system. Once the NPR
design was finalized, the GoM considered creating an integrated NPR-SR system that uses shared infrastructure
and services to save costs, improve administration, and enhance functionality while preserving the integrity,
separation, and data protection of each system. To achieve this objective, new technical specifications were
developed to reflect the new thinking, and as a result, a new procurement process was launched in 2019. The
developer for the SR MIS was selected in the first quarter of 2021 and will deliver the MIS by March 2022. The
pilot phase of enrollments of beneficiaries into the SR will commence end of March 2022 in Rabat-Kenitra, with
the national rollout scheduled for January 2023.
b) Sub-Component 2.2: Establishment of the Legal Framework (Law and Regulations) for the SR to Become a
Functional Unique Entry Point for SSNs was completed with the adoption of Law 72-18 by the Parliament and
6
The World Bank
Identity and Targeting for Social Protection Project (P155198)
the approval of the Decree on the SR by the Council of Ministers in July 2021. The support for this sub-
component has come primarily through PBC number 4, with three (3) indicators, all achieved and disbursed. In
addition, the World Bank project team has supported the MoI with information about examples of the role,
functioning, legislation, regulation of the SR in several countries such as Colombia, Chile, Turkey, and Georgia.
c) Sub-Component 2.3: Transition of RAMED, Tayssir, DAAM’s Programs’ Beneficiaries into the SR in the Project
Area has produced all critical inputs required for the launch of the SR pilot. A new scoring formula for the SR was
developed, updated by HCP, and then validated by the project Steering Committee on June 10, 2021. This work
contributed to the activities of sub-components 3.1 and 3.2 and the discussions with the Ministries and Agencies
operating RAMED, Tayssir, and DAAM programs. The analytical work carried out by HCP was supported by the
World Bank project team. It was financed by the Identification for Development (ID4D) Multi-Donor Trust Fund
and a Trust Fund (TF) for the development and implementation of the 2019/2020 pilot household survey.
d) PBCs 4 and 5 are supporting this reform through the achievement of 7 PBC indicators. Three (3) indicators have
already been achieved and disbursed, and one has been achieved but is yet to be disbursed. Of the remaining
three (3) PBC indicators, two (2) intermediate indicators are proposed to be eliminated to shift resources
towards the investment component, while one final PBC indicator will be achieved during the new
implementation period.
7. Component 3: Project Management, Capacity Building, and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). During the
COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the Project Management Unit team has been involved in the design and the implementation
of the Emergency Cash Transfer Program and the Vaccination campaign. The MoI’s engagement in these emergency
activities provided some useful lessons that benefited the project. Furthermore, it is worth noting that these operations
contributed to strengthening the capacities of the MoI team while working on the RAMED (Medical Assistance Regime)
database and testing the reliability of the interoperability with other systems to implement a form of an SR for a large
Cash Transfer program covering about 5.5 million households. In addition, an ID4D TF of US$150,000 helped to support
the project implementation, including the organization of exchange workshop to take advantage of international best
practices in terms of data privacy/data protection, implementation of the NPR and the SR, and the development of a
M&E plan.

B. Background and Rationale for Restructuring
8. A formal request from the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Administrative Reform (MEFAR) to restructure
the Project was received on June 9, 2021. The proposed restructuring aims to support the GoM in the
operationalization of the NPR, the SR, and the NRA, and more broadly, the ongoing reform of the SP program to
implement an efficient targeting tool within the SR.
9. Throughout implementation, the GoM has adopted a more ambitious version of the project, moving the NPR
to the frontier of international good practice in terms of digital identification and the SR towards a modern, adaptive,
9
The World Bank
Identity and Targeting for Social Protection Project (P155198)
digital SR. The bolder vision aligns with the Principles on Identification for Sustainable Development.1 It was sparked by
exposure to international best practices facilitated by the World Bank including high-level peer exchanges, the advice of
the management consulting firm hired to define the strategy and the implementation plan for the NPR, and the decision
to incorporate MOSIP, a state-of-the-art open-source ID system software (for enrollment-deduplication-authentication)
developed by IIIT-Bangalore.
10. The main design changes introduced during project implementation compared to the original design as
outlined in the 2017 PAD are detailed in the next section and broadly include:
(i) A more accurate and inclusive NPR and UIN. In the project’s original design, the NPR was envisaged to be
created through a back-end reconciliation of multiple databases with biographic and biometric information,
including the CNIE and MASSAR databases, a database of foreign residents and eventually, digitalized civil
register records. However, it was acknowledged that this approach could compromise the accuracy and
inclusivity of the system, given the quality and coverage of these existing systems.2 Thus, the MoI adopted a
new approach using fresh enrollment to reduce inaccuracies, ensure equal access across the population, and
minimal data collection with biometric deduplication to achieve uniqueness within the system. The enrollment
process will, therefore, be gradual, will take more time than originally envisaged, but it will be more accurate
and inclusive. Moreover, it will allow for the incorporation of more people-centric and privacy-by-design
features throughout the system.
(ii) Advanced, versatile authentication and verification services. In addition to providing a trusted source of
identity for the onboarding into the SR, the new NPR design incorporates services such as digital
authentication and electronic “know-your-customer” (eKYC) services for the NPR and the SR beneficiaries. The
new services contribute to extending the usefulness of the system and establish the basis for a modern, digital
platform for citizens and residents to verify their identity in a remote and paperless form, which can be used
across social programs (e.g., RAMED, Tayssir, or DAAM) and beyond.
(iii) Adoption of open-source software to prevent vendor lock-in. Morocco will be an early adopter of the MOSIP
platform based on a Memorandum of Understanding with IIITB, which provides a state-of-the-art, modular
software with increased functionality and embedded privacy-by-design features.
(iv) Deeper integration of the NPR and SR resources. This includes shared physical infrastructure (premises,
hardware, data center, and communication lines) and an NRA that manages both registries. Initially, the
project envisaged the creation of a NIA that will manage the NPR identity information. However, during the
project implementation, the GoM expanded the agency’s mandate to include the SR. In addition, it extended
the data protection and privacy arrangements to the management of the information in both registries since
each registry contains personally identifiable information.
(v) Initial focus of the NPR services on SSN programs and beneficiaries . During the implementation phase of the
activities financed by the World Bank, the project will focus on covering the most vulnerable 30 percent of the
population and support streamlining enrollment of SSN beneficiaries into the SR.
(vi) Dynamic/Adaptive SR. Designing an SR which includes a scoring formula based on information that could be, in
large, partly verified using existing Government or private databases (e.g., utilities) for increased accuracy,
veracity, adaptability, and beneficiaries’ accessibility.
1 See the Principles on Identification: http://id4d.worldbank.org/principles.
2
For example, it was determined that these existing databases had inconsistent quality and data formats, including data in both Arabic and Latin alphabets, that was
difficult to reconcile and would likely lead to substantial inaccuracies and data processing requirements. Combined with the fact that the existing system did not
provide universal coverage across all age groups and demographics, by using the mixed data quality in the existing systems, the NPR ran the risk of propagating these
inaccuracies and excluding a portion of the population. Furthermore, minimizing errors through demographic matching across these systems would require significant
time and resources for manual processes and likely result in a less reliable NPR with more false exclusions and a longer response time in case of authentication.
10
The World Bank
Identity and Targeting for Social Protection Project (P155198)
11. The project restructuring makes this project more forward looking and consistent with a broader GoM’s
strategy to implement an ambitious SP Reform announced in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 crisis, offers more
functionalities for the NPR and SR, and will facilitate the administration of the SSN programs while requiring
additional time and investment. The new approach for the creation of the NPR and the SR has had an impact on the
initial design, including (i) the architecture of the system, which requires hardware, software, and processes for
registration and direct collection and processing of beneficiary’s data; and (ii) the implementation schedule, which
would need to be extended due to the nature of a large-scale enrollment campaign. In addition, the issuance of the new
IDCS through active enrollment of the population reduces the size of the population that can be reached in the early
years while keeping the focus on enrollment of the poorest and more vulnerable segments of the population to serve
them better. At the same time, the fresh enrollment, addition of digital services to the registries, and pro-inclusion
policies will reduce the cost of using the services for the Moroccan people and the probability for these vulnerable
groups to be excluded.3
12. The restructuring is therefore needed to align the project activities and outputs to the updated strategy and
methodology to ensure the achieving of the project’s objectives.
13. The project has also been subject to several delays compared to the initial planning. As a result, the original
project closing date will be extended to achieve the PDO. The development of the legislative framework took additional
two years to be finalized than initially planned. The start of important investments for the development of the NPR and
SR was postponed until the adoption of the legislative framework by the Parliament. The complexity of the NPR
contract4 contributed to increasing delays. Moreover, the validation of the scoring formula, based on a new survey
carried out by HCP, took longer than originally envisioned. The COVID-19 shock slowed the pace of the implementation
and caused the postponement of the start of the pilot because of the MoI team’s strong involvement in the organization
of the emergency cash transfer program. However, the development of the NPR and SR proceeded unabated, and
allowed the design of more performant registries. Considering these delays, the project’s current closing date would
need to be extended to achieve the PDO and the PDOIs, including a recalibration of PDOI2.
II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
14. The proposed restructuring will further support the implementation of the building blocks of a modern safety
net and ensure that the project will continue supporting the operationalization of the NPR and the SR. The changes to
be introduced will entail (i) extending the current project closing date by 21 months; (ii) revising PBC 2 (Population (6
years and over) for which an IDCS has been assigned in the project area); (iii) streamlining the results framework; (iv)
reformulating, revising, or eliminating some PBCs, namely PBCs 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 5.2, and 5.3; (v) reallocating the project
funds between disbursement categories; (vi) adjusting the current project costs; (vii) amending the verification protocol
to record the IDCS numbers issued by the UIN generator integrated into the NPR and/or the Civil registry; and (viii)
revising the current Eligible Expenditure Program (EEPs).
3
For example, the GoM is undertaking extensive piloting, evaluation, and auditing of biometric technologies and end-to-end processes to ensure that systems are
calibrated to reduce instances of false exclusion and provide robust exception handling and grievance redress mechanisms. Enrollment for the NPR will be provided
through multiple modalities—including mobile and online applications and through a dense network of 2100 Citizen Service Centers nationwide—to increase
convenience and reduce cost barriers. Digital authentication and e-KYC services will be flexible, on-demand, privacy-protecting, and tailored to meet the needs of
different groups and programs (e.g., making biometric-based authentication an option for low-literacy people who have difficulties with personal identifications
numbers).
4 It took the MoI and the NPR Firm (IDEMIA) a few additional months to renegotiate the contract scope and agree on taking out the biometric deduplication
functionality.

Identity and Targeting for Social Protection Project (P155198)
15. The rationale for each of these changes is outlined below.
a) Extension of the project current closing date. The proposed extension of the closing date by 21 months from
December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2023, is needed to enable the implementation of project activities to make
up for the slowdown in implementation due to the COVID-19 crises, take into account the new strategic
orientations of the project, and respond to the needs of the ongoing SP reform. The ongoing SP reform will change
the existing SP programs, and more specifically, RAMED and Tayssir programs. The RAMED beneficiaries will be
integrated into the new universal health insurance system (Assurance maladie obligatoire -AMO) starting January
2022. The Tayssir program would be replaced by the new Family Allowance program starting 2023. Within the
ongoing SP reform, the SR is needed for identification, enrollment, and scoring. This 21-month extension of the
current closing date of December 31, 2021, will allow the project to meet its objective of establishing a SR as a
unique point of entry for SSN programs and supporting the delivery systems of the new programs.
b) Streamlining of the results framework. The proposed changes to be introduced to the Results framework are
reflected in Table 2:
Table 2: Changes to be Introduced in the Results Framework

New PDOI no. 3: The SR is using a scoring formula with a simulated

such as at least 65 percent of the SR beneficiaries will belong to the poorest quintile. This result could be achieved, but over a longer implementation period than 21
months. The new revised PDOI 3 measures the achievement of the preconditions for this result, that the Council of Government has adopted a SR formula with a
simulated targeting accuracy of over 65 percent, and that the formula is used by the SR to score the applicants for SSN programs. It is worth noting that the
simulations based on the current version of the PMT formula developed by HCP and adopted by the Council of Government correctly identifies 70 percent of the
beneficiaries from the poorest quintile. It ensures that the SR formula is used to score the applicants of RAMED, DAAM, Tayssir or their successor programs over and
above the pilot phase (estimated at 500,000 people enrolled) for an additional 3.5 million people. The process of enrollment and recertification for RAMED, DAAM,
Tayssir or their successor program will continue after the end of the program and, with sufficient time, will lead to the achievement of the original PDOI 3 (all

individuals.
INTERMEDIATE RESULTS INDICATORS

b) Intermediary Indicator: Share of beneficiaries Increase the end target value from 20 percent to 23 percent, based on
of Tayssir (or his successor program) in SR confirmed achievements during the extended implementation period.
(Percentage)
c) Adjustments to the PBCs. The streamlined and revised result framework will (i) retain the final PBC indicators
for three of the five PBCs, namely PBCs 1, 3, and 5; (ii) revise the target values for PBC 2 from 25 million
enrollments to 7 million; (iii) and replace the end-results for PBC 5, whose achievement depends on the
implementation arrangements of the SP reform, with two PBCs indicators that are largely equivalent with the
original PBCs, but are under the control of the project and could be achieved with the 21-month extension
period; (iv) eliminate some intermediate PBCs to allow a shift of resources towards the investment component
(PBCs 1.4, 2.1, 5.2 and 5.3); and (v) adjust the PBCs disbursement schedule.
• PBC 1: Number of newborns in the Project Area who have been attributed an UIN (IDCS) through the
UIN generator of the NPR and have their UIN (IDCS) printed on their birth certificates. The MoI had
made significant progress in the deployment of the IDCS identifier for newborns, reaching a cumulative
total of 330,000 identifiers assigned to children since January 2018 and exceeding the annual targets set
for PBC 1.2 (47,000 for a period of 12 months) and PBC 1.3 (113,000 for a period of 12 months).
However, these PBCs have not been achieved according to the modality initially specified in the
verification protocols: the IDCS number is issued by a unique number generator (IDCS software),
included in the Civil Registry, and printed in their birth certificates, as the NPR was not yet developed.
The IDCS software will also be integrated into the NPR during the enrollment and will be used to
attribute UINs. As part of the restructuring, the verification protocol will be changed to recognize the
IDCS numbers issued by the UIN generator integrated into the NPR and/or the Civil registry; and will
change the period of accounting for the indicator from “calendar year” to “over 12 months,” to allow for
a more flexible achievement schedule. The restructuring would also include a new deadline for the
achievement of PBC 1.5 (266,000 newborns were assigned an IDCS). The related PBCs 1.2 and PBC 1.3
would be completed after the restructuring, while PBC 1.4 (206,000 newborns were assigned an IDCS)
will be eliminated after the restructuring.
• PBC 2: Population (6 years old and above) for which an UIN has been attributed in the Project Area.
The strategic and operational orientations of the project require revising the target value and amount
allocated for the PBC 2. The two (2) PBC indicators (PBC 2.1: an UIN has been attributed to 19 million
individuals (6 years old and above); and (PBC 2.2: an UIN has been attributed to 25 million individuals (6
applicants are scored recertified with the new scoring formula, and the targeting accuracy of these program will exceed the share of 65 percent of beneficiaries from
the poorest quintile.

years old and above)) will be replaced without being disbursed by a single PBC (PBC 2: an UIN has been
attributed to 7 million individuals (6 years old and above). PBC 2.1 will be eliminated and will not be
disbursed while PBC 2.2 will be updated to reflect a new target value of 7 million people to be enrolled
by the new closing date of the project. The original target values of the associated PDOI were 26 million6
(estimated for year 5 of project implementation) and 25 million (estimated for year 4 of project
implementation). The targets’ downward revision results from the adoption of a new approach to create
and generate IDCS numbers from merging existing databases for the active enrollment of individuals.
This approach contributes to reducing the number of individuals that can be enrolled by September
2023 to about 8 million individuals, of which 7 million will be 6 years and above. As mentioned in
paragraph 10 (points (i) to (v)), the reduction in the quantitative target is compensated by an increase in
the quality of the IDCS numbers that are generated. The current approach sets up a more accurate and
inclusive IDCS number and NPR, with new functionalities of digital authentication, eKYC and verification
services, and better integration into the SR. The NPR and IDSCS initially focused on the most vulnerable
part of the population (the beneficiaries of SSN programs). This new PBC 2 will have a target of 7 million
individuals (6 years and above) enrolled, and a value of US$4 million.
• PBC 3: NPR, UIN and NIA legally established and operational. The review of PBC 3 has shown important
progress in the approval and adoption of the legal framework related to the NPR, the UIN, and the NIA
with the publication of Law 72-18 and its application decrees. However, the achievement of the PBC 3.3
(NIA has been established and is operational) has been delayed compared to the initial plan. The
restructuring would include a new deadline for the operationalization of the agency while transitional
measures have been set by the MoI to ensure a rapid start of the implementation of the NPR and the SR.
• PBC 5: Share of the new applicants to RAMED, DAAM, and Tayssir programs registered in the SR. A
review of PBC 5 was carried out to take into account the new SR deployment strategy and the overhaul
of social programs (RAMED, DAAM, and TAYSSIR) within the ongoing SP reform. The PBC 5.1 was
technically achieved, and a new PMT formula was validated by the IMSC on June 10, 2021. The proposed
restructuring will eliminate two intermediate results yet to be disbursed: PBC 5.2 (40 percent of new
RAMED, DAAM, and TAYSSIR applicants, during a year, are registered with SR (including 45 percent
Female) and PBC 5.3 (80 percent of new RAMED, DAAM, and TAYSSIR applicants, during a year, are
registered with the SR (including 45 percent female). The final indicator PBC 5.4 (100 percent of new
applicants to RAMED, DAAM, and TAYSSIR programs in a given calendar year, have been registered in
the SR) will be revised, given that its achievement depends on the specific design and implementation
arrangements of the SP reform to be finalized. It will be replaced with two PBCs that encapsulate the
main results sought under the original indicator, under the control of the project and which could be
achieved during the proposed extension period: PBC 5.2: the SR is using a scoring formula with a
simulated targeting accuracy of over 65 percent; and PBC 5.3: the SR is operational beyond the pilot
phase and has processed applications for at least 4 million individuals.
6Before the restructuring, the final target for the PDOI 2 “Population (6 years old and above) for which an UIN has been attributed in the Project Area” was 26 million
people in year 5 of project implementation. The two PBC indicators associated with PDOI 2 estimated a level of enrollment of 19 million in the 3rd year of project
implementation (PBC 2.1) and 25 million in the 4th year of project implementation respectively.

d) Reallocation of project funds between categories. This proposed change will entail the reallocation of savings in
the amount of US$12 million from disbursement category (1) to category (2). This reallocation is needed to
cover the larger volume of expenditures related to goods, consultants, and non-consultant services resulting
from the more ambitious strategy for the design and the implementation of the NPR and the SR. These
expenditures are associated to contracts already signed, for the design and the implementation of the NPR and
the SR, in addition to the strengthening of the institutional capacity for M&E, as detailed in table below.

e) Adjustments to the original component cost. To meet the current project costs resulting from the GoM’s
decision to adopt a more ambitious version of the project, such as the new approach adopted for the creation of
the NPR and the SR which had a direct impact on the initial design in terms of system architecture and cost, the
cost of components 2 and 3 will be reduced by US$25 million and US$3.75 million respectively, to increase the
cost of component 1 by US$28.75 million for a total of US$73.75 million as shown in Table 4.

f) Changes to the EEPs. The project EEPs will be changed to solely include the DAAM program. All the remaining
planned disbursements will be covered by the DAAM program. This program has extensively grown. Transfers
increased sensitively during the last 3 years to reach approximately US$50 Million7 in 2019. The budget forecasts
transmitted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance confirmed increasing annual budget allocations to DAAM in
comparison to 2019. Funds available for PBCs, equivalent to US$29 million, following the restructuring, are
expected to be fully disbursed against DAAM expenditures.

To conduct these verifications the DSIC will: (i) establish a depersonalized database of unique individuals in the NPR with a
UIN. This data will need to be extracted from the NPR and communicated to the IGAT no later than 3 weeks before the
beginning of the verification missions; (ii) ensure the proper functioning of the NPR monitoring module that allows the
identification of the people for whom a UIN was attributed and the verification of the accuracy of the data.
At the end of verification mission, the IGAT will send to the World Bank reports summarizing the verifications 1-2-3
mentioned above; the technical specifications describing the requirements in terms of NPR data quality and reliability, and
the process of updating and data feeding; and the documents with the tests (final product).
