Component 3 will be implemented by the World Bank in order to (i) maintain independence in the evaluation process, and (ii) leverage learning from other countries in the MENA Region and elsewhere. No substantial progress has been achieved since effectiveness as the implementation of project's activities is awaiting the signing of the GIZ contract which has experienced some delays. However, the Bank team is providing technical support to ensure the finalization and signing of the contract and thus, enable the project to take off the ground. In parallel, to prepare implementation readiness, GIZ has launched consultations with domestic stakeholders to discuss future placement of the prospective candidates that will be chosen by ANAPEC to enable the initial preparation and implementation of the placement activities as well as the design and implementation of training and integration modules for the candidates to be selected for the program. 5/9/2016 Page 2 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth
