Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Overall progress towards achievement of the PDO is Moderately Satisfactory. This is based on the relatively good results achieved in 2015 and 2016 so far. 87% and 89% of total city Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs) in 2015 and 2016 respectively were achieved and verified. 2017 achievements are expected to be verified by end July 2018. As of now, around US$126.5 million worth of contracts out of total estimated US$190 million for infrastructure projects have been awarded (nearly 64%), indicating overall good procurement progress for the infrastructure activities. At this stage, the key risk to the achievement of the PDO is the lack of annual budget allocation for both ODA funds and counterpart funds and insufficient inclusion of project budget in the provincial Medium-term Investments Plans (MTIP) for participating cities to timely carry out activities from 2018-2020. As of now, most cities have been allocated and disbursed nearly full amount of ODA funding which was approved and included in the current MTIP.
