The project includes two components: (I) Building and using the National Unified registry (NUR) for targeting; and (II) Piloting the integrated outreach worker program (IOWP). Both components are being separately managed by two agencies. Component 1 (NUR) is managed by the National Unified Registry Unit in the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) of the Ministry of Finance (MOF), and component 2 (Outreach Program) is managed by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC). With respect to NUR (Component 1), since there was no progress in implementation of the component’s activities and based on the recommendation of the Mid-Term review mission of November 2015, the Government has requested the restructuring of this component. The restructuring, which will entail change of activities under this components and changes in implementation arrangements, is currently being processed by the Bank and activities are expected to be launched as soon as the amendment to the Grant Agreement is signed by the Bank and the Government. With respect to Piloting the Integrated Outreach Worker Program (IOWP) (Component 2), substantial progress has been achieved with the completion of two out of the three major contracts (Training of Supervisors and outreach workers and Mapping). The last major contract (NGO to implement the deployment of the outreach program) has seen a lot of progress with the completion of the pilot phase of the deployment in April 2016 covering a total of 329 households in the three-targeted governorates. Taking into account the main lessons learned from the pilot phase, a detailed implementation plan for the deployment phase was prepared and the outreach program launched since June 2016 and will run through June 2017 in cycles of 4 months. It (the outreach program) is expected to reach 22,400 households. Finally, based on the information provided by the Case Management Information System, a close follow-up of the implementation plan of the deployment phase is underway.
