 Implementation Status and Key Decisions

  Virtual Implementation Consultations of the Nepal DPF with Cat DDO. These consultations were conducted by a Bank team on September 7-
  9, 2021, with the main objective to: (i) assess the progress on the results indicators, as part of the monitoring and implementation support activities
  of this operation; and (ii) identify any opportunity to provide technical support. During the reporting period and despite the difficult situation due to
  COVID-19 and the historic monsoon precipitation, the GON has been able to successfully meet three out of four results indicators, and the fourth
  one, related to health preparedness and response, is on track to be achieved during the project implementation period.
