The amendments to the financing and project agreements have been signed and the restructuring is now in effect. Consequently, the rating of the project has been upgraded to Moderately Satisfactory. Since the Bank lifted the suspension on disbursements and based on the improved security situation, project activities resumed in April 2012 and marked progress has been made. As end of May 2013, the site survey and technical studies for the on-grid component are done. For the on-grid component, one contract of about $4 m is signed. Another contract of about $9 m is cleared by the Bank and is expected to be signed shortly after approval by HTC. The bid document for the last package of the on-grid component is cleared by the Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR9556 Bank and will be issued shortly. The two major consulting contracts (engineering service for bid evaluation, contract management and construction supervision, and consulting service for institutional development) have been signed and the consultants have been mobilized since early 2013. The individual PV consultant (a technical adviser) has been recruited. The work on survey and study of the PV component has been initiated. The draft bid documents for the off-grid component are revised and submitted to the Bank for comments. But the bid documents will be finalized only when the survey is completed. AFD has not yet lifted its suspension due to reason not related to this project.
