There was a first restructuring of July 29, 2011 (approved October 31, 2012) undertaken to refine the scope of the Project in order to improve project performance towards its development objectives. The components and subcomponents remained unchanged but the restructuring narrowed the range of activities that were included in some subcomponents. The restructuring extended project closure from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013. A second o level 2 restructuring of November 7, 2013 (approved November 14, 2013) granted an extension in project close of 10 months. This is the last ISR as the Project closes October 31, 2014. o The Project performance has been rated MS for PDO achievement and Implementation Progress. r As of October 6, 2014, more than 99.06% of the grant had been disbursed, amounting to 98,268,919.7SDR (out of 99,2M SDR).
