Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Substantial  Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions It was reported in end-December, 2014 that the Program had made a remarkable turnaround. It has further consolidated its gains in the last six months. Thanks to the proactive decision making my the Program management team. The mid-term review (MTR) of the Program (an in-depth review at the mid-point of implementation of a project or program) was scheduled in end-April, 2015. However, due to the April, 25 devastating earthquake it was postponed. Now the MTR is being conducted and will be completed on June 30. A comprehensive status of the Program will be available once the MTR is completed. Also an ISR will be submitted subsequent to the MTR. Therefore, this ISR could be considered as an interim one. It is likely that the Program will achieve its objectives. However, it appears that some readjustments to the Program will be needed, especially with regard to Disbursement Linked Indicator 4 or DLI 4 (strengthening the performance management in bridge sector) and the Program Action Plan. Also good progress has been made regarding DLI 2 (which deals with minor maintenance of bridges). Slow progress had been reported in the last report. A detailed analysis of the progress is being conducted now. Key Program related decisions will be made at the end of the MTR and will be reported in the MTR Aide-memoire. The next Implementation status and results report will also report on the key decisions and Program readjustment requirements. 6/24/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bridges Improvement and Maintenance Program (P125495) Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed Disbursed P125495 IDA-51380 Effective XDR 38.70 38.70 0.00 20.14 18.56 52% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
