Two years into implementation, conditions to begin the civil works of the first phase were met, namely: (i) the NGO in charge of monitoring SEA/SH risks was mobilized in July 2020; (ii) the implementation of the Resettlement action plans (RAP) by August 2020; (iii) a project GRM is in place (including specific procedures for SEA/SH grievances); (iv) the Contractor Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP-C) are available for all construction sites. The contracts for all the civil works of the first phase were signed (contracts for the 1st package of about 176 km were signed in March 2020, and contracts for the 2nd package of about 143 km were signed in July 2020), and the recruitment of the supervision engineering firms for both packages of the first phase was finalized in July 2020. Hence, the conditions required to begin the civil works of the first phase (about 300km) are met, and the civil works have started. The recruitment of the consultants in charge of the engineering studies for the second phase is on track. 6/10/2021 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rural Mobility and Connectivity Project (P164498) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Substantial Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Low Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Low Low Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Moderate Moderate Environment and Social High Substantial Substantial Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Improved road access of farming communities to production sites in selected areas.
