However, the performance-based grants were notified to project secondary cities in time to be included in the 2018 budget. The local government performance was slightly below expectations, with eight out of nine secondary cities meeting minimum conditions and seven out of ten cities (including Bamako) meeting performance criteria. To date, about 120,000 people have gained access to various infrastructure and services due to the project. Most project indicators are on track and expected to be achieved by the end of the project. Following complaints received on some drainage rehabilitation works in Bamako, an action plan to resolve all issues was agreed between all concerned parties. Close follow-up by the PIU and the Bank will be carried out to ensure proper implementation of the action plan as well as to verify that there are no other safeguards issues related to the works.
