Implementation of all activities has picked up since January 2019, after all preparatory work including staffing had been put in place and an accelerated implementation plan had been launched and actionized. Several key tasks have been completed. The Project has also increased capacity of the PIU through capacity building enhancement activities and specialists joining forces with project staff to deliver results. The restructuring has been completed following the last MTR mission, when a 12-month extension was proposed to ensure that the Project achieves its development objective. The declaration of a health state of emergency in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the temporary halt of Project activities. However, with the controlled number of cases in Togo, the authorities have recently eased the restrictions to people's movement, allowing Project activities to resume. Under the application of social distancing measures agreed upon with the PIU and the authorities, training sessions and public 8/6/2020 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Employment Opportunities for Vulnerable Youth Project (P157036) works community work (THIMO) have resumed and will shortly be launched in the remaining 44 villages.
