 Implementation Status and Key Decisions
  PICAR continues to make good implementation progress with all activities under the additional financing (PICAR AF) now well underway. This
  assessment is based on a desk review as of September 30, 2019. PICAR AF (totaling around US$60 million equivalent) is focusing on a total of
  1223 communities and 106 municipalities in five departments (Chuquisaca, Cochabamba, Oruro, La Paz and Potosi). To date, the total number of
  subprojects executed, under implementation or identified amounts to 2,107 (880 under the original credit and 1,227 under the AF). The total number
  of beneficiary families of subprojects that received funding under PICAR and PICAR AF has reached 42,427. The closing date of PICAR has been
  extended to April 30, 2020. To better ensure the sustainability of the subproject investments in the post-project period, EMPODERAR is
  implementing an action plan to enhance technical assistance and accompanying support to beneficiary communities in the productive, operation
  and maintenance phases of the subprojects. The next mission to support project implementation is scheduled for early November, 2019.
