However, some key outcome indicators of the project have suffered from a lack of decisive results, in particular the transparency over the newly acquired geological information. - With only 3 months before its Closing Date and in the context of the COVID crisis, the Project should pay close attention to the timely implementation of the remaining activities, especially the geology program. - The Project should expedite the implementation of the approved measures towards stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanism. 9/7/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Cameroon Mining Sector Technical Assistance Project (P122153) - From a sector perspective, the promulgation of the Decree to implement the 2016 Mining Code is still pending. While this is now beyond the Project's control, the Ministry is encouraged to continuously engage with the Prime Ministry and other administration to convey the importance of this regulation on sector developments.
