After five years of implementation, the project has generated over 645,000 person- days of work; provided short-term employment to over 12,000 people; transferred a total of US$ 2.83 million in wages; and trained 11,125 people under the Pre-Employment Training component. It is effectively targeting vulnerable groups, including unemployed women and youth, with 60% of the participants being women and 53% being youth between the ages of 16 to 29 years. Additional financing (AF) for the project of US$ 1.5 million became effective on the 9th of October 2015, and new activities to be funded by the AF are now ready to start. The new closing date of the project is now the December 31, 2016. Discussions have begun regarding a potential second phase of REP, potentially expanding activities to other urban centers in the Solomon Islands. Further steps towards this end will be contingent on the submission of a request for further World Bank assistance by the Ministry of Finance and Treasury. 12/25/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 2 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rapid Employment Project (P114987) 12/25/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 3 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rapid Employment Project (P114987) 12/25/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 4 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rapid Employment Project (P114987) 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  --  Moderate  Moderate Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  Low  Low Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Moderate  Moderate 12/25/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 5 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rapid Employment Project (P114987) Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Average wage transfer per person (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 1569.00 1569.00 1600.00 Date 28-Sep-2010 28-Feb-2014 30-Sep-2015 31-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Percent of participants from communities ranked as the highest priority on the vulnerability index (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value not applicable 52 57 50% or greater Date 28-Sep-2010 31-Mar-2015 30-Sep-2015 31-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  percentage of youth participating in the project (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 53.00 53.00 50.00 Date 28-Sep-2010 31-Mar-2015 30-Sep-2015 31-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Percentage of women participating in the project (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 59.00 60.00 50.00 Date 28-Sep-2010 31-Mar-2015 30-Sep-2015 31-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Percentage of Participants reporting that REP was useful in finding subequent employment (Percentage, Custom) 12/25/2015 Baseline ActualCopy Public Disclosure (Previous) Actual (Current) Page 6 of 13 End Target Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rapid Employment Project (P114987) Value 0.00 72.00 81.00 60.00 Date 28-Sep-2010 31-Dec-2014 30-Sep-2015 31-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Estimated number of beneciaries of road works, and other community access infrastructure (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 20000.00 60000.00 25000.00 Date 01-Dec-2014 12-Jun-2015 30-Sep-2015 31-Dec-2016 Comments The number of beneficiaries has increased because the numbers were found to be much larger than originally calculated upon closer review.
