The project is implemented by South Sudan’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The project development objective (PDO is to strengthen the capacity of statistics producers in South Sudan to produce and disseminate official statistics. The project design is based on the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS). It aims to support the production and dissemination of the Statistics in South Sudan by a comprehensive approach. The Mid Term Review, conducted during the July 2017 mission, assessed the progress of the project as overall satisfactory. Despite the continued volatile situation in South Sudan, project activities are on track. A review of the results framework indicates satisfactory progress towards the PDO. The main action items to sustain the momentum and mitigate risks were identified and mitigation actions put in place. A more detailed status review by component is available in the Aide Memoire of the last Implementation Support Mission conducted in July 2017. There is a need to restructure the project, and the team will work with the Client to prepare the restructuring package in early 2018. The next implementation status review is planned for January/February 2018, and project restructuring will be advanced then.
