Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project?

The project implementation progress is moving forward, even though the implementation progress is still behind schedule. The World Bank MTR mission was conducted from April 5-14 in Morocco. The detailed MTR adjustments had been Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR14764 proposed by all project PMUs, and discussed and agreed with the mission team during the MTR mission in the field. The PDO of the project continues to be valid and achievable, and the project is expecting to be completed within the current grant closing date, because all PMUs are fully committed and taking actions to speed up their respective country program. A project MTR restructuring paper with detailed description of the main changes has been proposed and being processed, and also attached to this ISR. Public Disclosure Copy The latest ISR, dated December 31, 2013, rated the progress towards PDO as Moderately Unsatisfactory. The overall implementation progress was unsatisfactory from the beginning as the project has suffered delays from early on. However, the recent Mid-Term Review mission noticed the substantial improvement of the implementation progress in the field. The upgrade of IP rating from MU to MS is being proposed based on: (i) the improved implementation capacity/progress after the delivery of various trainings and improved coordination between the recipients and donors; (ii) procurement plan and package updated and committed; (iii) all activities finalized and have been implementing at the regional and country levels as planned, although the disbursement is not yet fully visible (some government funds used); (iv) project funds reallocated and fully committed, and more disbursement in progress; (v) key M&E indicators updated; (vi) improved prospects as there is improved coordination and cooperation between all country PMUs and regional coordination office; and (vii) close follow-up of agreed actions will further assist countries to accelerate completion of ongoing studies and achieve outcome targets before the grant's closure, and facilitate the NASA team to deliver the agreed technical products over coming months.
