Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component 1: Strengthening the Niger Basin Authority for Sustainably Delivering its Mandate:(Cost $3.75 M) Component 2: Facilitating Evidence Based-Decision Making in the Fomi Multipurpose Project:(Cost $3.75 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Substantial  Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The World Bank and the NBA agreed on the features of the restructuring operation during and after an Implementation Support Mission held on 6/15/2018 Page 1 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Niger River Basin Management Project (P149714) February 14, 15, and 16 2018 and of the changes to the results framework and budget. The overall Development objective remains unchaged. The two main changes are: (a) regarding component 1: the level of approval of the sustainable financial mechanism has been brought to political to technical as the position of the council of ministers is likely to depend on the outcome of an ongoing strategic institutional and organizational analysis supported by some donors, including the Bank; (b) Component 2: because the results of the feasibility study and ESIA study of the Fomi dam in Guinea completed in December 2017 have revealed significant environmental and social constraints at the original site and as alternative site(s) identification and studies are beyond the scope of the present project, the activities related to the institutional set up for this specific dam and the organization of the round table of donors would be removed from the scope of the project. The restructured project would instead support NBA to develop and advocate generic methods for sound fact-based decision making regarding transboundary infrastructure projects in the Niger Basin. The disbursement ratio is almost 15%. The implementation capacity of the NBA is improving but remains slow. Making the two main contracts under this project effective and completing the recruitment process of the three experts in the PIU will in principle improve the project's ratings, which currently remain moderately unsatisfactory both in terms of achievement of the development objective and overall implementation. 6/15/2018 Page 2 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Niger River Basin Management Project (P149714) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  High  High Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Substantial  Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Substantial  Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Substantial  Substantial Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  High  High 6/15/2018 Page 3 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Niger River Basin Management Project (P149714) Other  --  Moderate  Moderate Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Institutional enhancements for coordination of development and management of shared water resources endorsed by member states (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 03-Oct-2017 07-Jun-2018 31-Dec-2019 PHINDPDOTBL  A complementary financing mechanism endorsed by member states (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N -- N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 -- 07-Jun-2018 31-Dec-2019 PHINDPDOTBL  Joint decision-making process for Fomi multipurpose project approved by Fomi Interministerial Committee and followed (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 03-Oct-2017 07-Jun-2018 31-Dec-2019 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators 6/15/2018 Page 4 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Niger River Basin Management Project (P149714) PHINDIRITBL  New mechanism for financial sustainability developed and discussed (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 03-Oct-2017 07-Jun-2018 31-Dec-2019 PHINDIRITBL  Coordination mandates for regulating infrastructure clarified (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N -- N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 -- 07-Jun-2018 31-Jul-2019 PHINDIRITBL  Roadmap for decision making around Fomi designed and discussed among relevant member states (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 03-Oct-2017 07-Jun-2018 26-Dec-2018 PHINDIRITBL  Complementary assessments of environmental and social impacts completed and discussed by relevant member states (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 03-Oct-2017 07-Jun-2018 31-Dec-2019 6/15/2018 Page 5 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Niger River Basin Management Project (P149714) PHINDIRITBL  Investment forum for Fomi project held (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N -- N Y Date 14-Nov-2014 -- 07-Jun-2018 31-Dec-2018 Overall Comments Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed Disbursed P149714 TF-18539 Effective USD 7.50 7.50 0.00 1.11 6.39 15% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
