Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Improving the Quality and Relevance of ITI Training:(Cost $39.60 M) Component 2: Increasing the Supply of Skilled Workers through Short-Term Training:(Cost $20.00 M) Component 3: Policy and Institutional Development and Project Management:(Cost $7.60 M) 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 Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions A virtual mid-term review was held from March 12-19, 2021. The project has met 2 out of the 4 PDO targets related to enrollment in labor market relevant trades in ITIs and placement of ITI graduates. The targets for placements among male and female graduates of priority ITIs have been surpassed with 32 % for males and 15% for females (against projected targets of 28% and 10% respectively). The project is short of targets related to number of trainees certified in short-term training programs and placements from short-term training programs. Complete data on placements will be updated by end April 2021. The project has met year 2 DLI targets for DLI1b, DLI2 and DLI4 and is on track to meet the year 2 targets for DLI1a. The project has also met the year 3 target for DLI3 (which begins in year 3) and is on track to meet year 3 targets for DLI1, DLI2 and DLI4 in FY21. Achievement on DLI1 (upgradation of ITIs) is delayed due to delays in procurement and civil works. The project has hired and begun work on all consultancies designed to introduce qualitative improvements in ITIs for linkages with industry and on placements. In keeping with the project’s equity focus, a 4/26/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Uttarakhand Workforce Development Project (P154525) women’s training needs study is also underway to help inform specific barriers faced by women in the state in training participation and labor market participation.
