Due to OVID-19 crisis, many Pacific Island countries, including FSM, have introduced travel restrictions. At this stage, it too early to report on actual progress towards achieving the project development objective (PDO) or on overall implementation progress. Delays are to be expected during the implementation period as travel is still restricted. 7/21/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Digital Federated States of Micronesia Project (P170718) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High High High Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Substantial Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and High High High Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial High High Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall High High High Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Expand access to the internet IN01020196 ►Expanded access to internet services on outer islands (percentage of outer islands with internet access) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 50.00 Date 31-Dec-2019 17-Jun-2020 17-Jun-2020 31-Mar-2026 Measure of outer islands with a basic 4G/LTE mobile service which are eligible for coverage under the Comments: Project (comprising inhabited islands with a population of approximately 100 people or more).
