In addition, a total of US$ 94,213,088 (94%) cumulative project commitments expenditures have been recorded by June 30, 2016 to implement various activities. Component 1: Enabling Environment (USD 14 million) 1. The Project has facilitated enactment of two very important legal instruments i.e. Cybercrimes Act, 2015 and E-Transactions Act, 2015 and establishment of ICT Commission through the ICT Commission (Establishment) Instrument G.N. No. 532 in November 2015. This has created an environment to further promote the ICT industry in Tanzania and foster implementation of electronic systems as electronic transactions are now recognized and protected by law. Processes of enactment of the Personal Data Protection Act, 2016 as well as ICT Act are underway. On the areas of capacity building, total number of 2,066 Government staff attended and benefited from various trainings and awareness programs, a significant increase from 100 staff in 2014. Component 2: Connectivity (USD 60 million) 2. The connectivity component includes three main activities- International bandwidth, rural connectivity and Government Network ( GovNet). Details of these activities are given below:: 3. Procurement of bulk international Internet bandwidth (1550 Mbps) at total cost of USD 11.4 million for 10 years and distribution is being made to Government institutions. These institutions are now utilizing centrally procured and managed Internet access at low cost. This has resulted in significant savings between 50% – 90% to institutions using the service whose number has reached 176 institutions 4. The implementation of the universal access program financed by the project includes 347 unserved or under-served wards with a total of 1393 villages, covering a population of 2.6 Mn in rural Tanzania. Of these, 129 wards with 714 villages have gained access to mobile telephony services, a significant increase from 50 wards in 2014. This sub-component is covered in four phases totaling $ 27.7 Mn. The contracts (twelve in total with 4 leading mobile operators) have been signed, to be completed before project closing date of December 31, 2016. However, due to lack of access to some of the sites located in rural areas, delays in environmental clearances and unanticipated implementation delays due to inclusion of additional sites, implementation is now likely to finish only in October, 2017. 5. Phase I and II of the Government Network (GovNet) has been finalized, aiming at providing inter- Ministeries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) communications services like data exchanges, sharing network resources, IP Telephony, Video Conferencing etc. Total of 72 MDAs out of 82 MDAs (87% of all MDAs) have connected to GovNet using high-speed data connection. This has brought huge impact in terms of cost reduction for internal communications, easy of sharing of data and other resources as well as easy of management of internal information resources. As a result, inter MDAs calls voice and video is now possible with no cost, Government Bandwidth is affordably used by MDAs due significant reduction in last mile costs, MDAs within GovNet infrastructure now enjoy quality and secure data, voice and video communication, increased productivity in provision of public services due to improvement of communication infrastructure, proper utilization of ICT resources through shared infrastructure enabled by GovNet, and reduction of operating costs (OC) for MDAs/LGAs connected to GovNet (International Bandwidth, Inter MDA/LGA connectivity, IP Telephony, Video Conference Facilities etc.) 6. The Implementation of Phase III aiming at Connecting 77 LGA sites in progress and is expected to be completed in December 2016. Component 3: eGovernment Services (USD 22 million) 7. The status of eGovernment services application component: 8. The Mobile Platform that enables government mobile based services to be hosted and accessed using short code (i.e. *152*00#) has been developed and operational based on the design finalized in July 2014. This provided one window for all government mobile services. As a result, about 105,237 managed to apply Government jobs and 1,632,971 voters verified their IDs in October 2015 National Elections through mobile platform. 9. After finalization of detailed design of four e-government projects (National Business Portal, Tele-Medicine, Birth and Death Registration, and e-procurement) the contracts for all projects are finalized and are in different stages of implementation. The contract for National Business Portal totaling $ 1.6 Mn is likely to be completed by November 1, 2016. Major activities of other three contracts totaling $ 10.3 Mn will be 10/12/2016 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report AFCC2/RI-RCIP3 - Regional Communications Infrastructure Program - Phase 3 (P111432) completed by December, 2016 but e-procurement implementation may continue till June, 2017 as this involves backward integration with existing e-platform with the three project beneficiaries- Public Procurement Regulatory Authority ( PPRA), Government Procurement Service Agency( GPSA) and Medical Stores Department ( MSD). Similarly, the implementation of other two e-Gov projects may also go beyond December 31, 2016 Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Moderate  Moderate Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Moderate Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  Moderate  Moderate Other  --  Moderate  Moderate Overall  --  Moderate  Moderate Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  TANZANIA: Internatinal Internet bandwidth (Mbps) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 302.00 6000.00 6000.00 3000.00 Date 31-Dec-2008 29-Mar-2016 31-Mar-2016 31-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  TANZANIA: Internet user penetration (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.98 23.45 34.00 7.00 Date 31-Dec-2008 01-Jul-2015 31-Mar-2016 31-Dec-2016 10/12/2016 Page 3 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report AFCC2/RI-RCIP3 -
