In terms of IT connectivity, the procurement of necessary equipment is progressing as scheduled, installation is expected to start in March 2015. However, FODE is still awaiting the necessary information from service providers regarding their data coverage capacity before being able to carry out installation at the provincial centers. Lastly, project management and responsiveness (including adherence to timelines) have greatly improved. It is expected that with additional support in terms of project coordination and procurement will further contribute to improved project performance. 3/6/2015 Page 2 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Flexible and Open Distance Education Project (P116521) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Moderate  Moderate Macroeconomic  --  Substantial  Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Substantial  Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Substantial  Substantial Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Substantial  Substantial 3/6/2015 Page 3 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Flexible and Open Distance Education Project (P116521) Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Grade 10 completers (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 226.00 226.00 226.00 2200.00 Date 26-Nov-2010 09-Dec-2014 03-Mar-2015 30-Jun-2016 Overall Comments No new data available.
