 Implementation Status and Key Decisions
  The project has achieved several milestones. The Project Management Unit is adequately staffed, trained, and functioning well. The inter-ministerial
  Project Evaluation Committee has met twelve times since October 2018 and is functioning smoothly. There is good alignment of the Public
  Investment Management (PIM) and Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) processes and operations. The consulting firm EPTISA is on board and has
  started preliminary work on feasibility studies and transaction advisory for nine of the eleven sub-projects assigned to it. The consulting firm
  EcoConserv is on board and has started work on the first ESIA for the Barikab Food Park. Technical assistance and capacity building activities for
  both PPP and PIM are underway. Speedy completion of the remaining procurements of consulting firms will be critical for the development of the
  sub-project pipeline and for the overall implementation and success of the Project.

                                                      financing from the Project Preparation Grant. Since approval, another 21 GoIRA staff (of which 6 women)
