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

Demand remains high as the project continues to be over-subscribed, even after six years of implementation; and the project is reaching significant scales and continues to assist disadvantaged urban youth to increase their incomes through the provision of training and short-term employment. The project has screened over 23,000 and engaged over 16,000 beneficiaries; and generated approximately 700,000 paid labor days, exceeding the target of 600,000. It has also transferred over PGK17 (US$5.2) million in stipends and established approximately 16,500 bank accounts for youth. Most youth originate from poor settlement areas in the NCDC. The overall proportion of Motu-Koita youth participating in the project is 12%. Of the other major ethnic groups, 34% of participants report their region of origin as Highlands, 26% as Southern and 8% as Momase. The project is also exceeding its overall target of 40% for female participation at 41%. There is evidence that the project is not only providing youth with temporary employment opportunities and helping to increase their employability, but that the project’s employment impacts are more than just short term. Based on a sample of youth surveyed in 2017, approximately 41 percent reported being employed two years after existing the project’s On-the-Job Training. The placements can be directly attributed to the project, as two- thirds were offered jobs, by their OJT employers; and 21 percent, from the Youth Job Corps cohort. This compares with a Control Group of youth from Districts around NCD that didn’t participate in the project at 15 percent. This is a very positive result in the context of overall low youth employment rates. 12/15/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 2 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Youth Employment Project (P114042) 12/15/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 3 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Youth Employment Project (P114042) 12/15/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 4 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Youth Employment Project (P114042) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Substantial  Substantial Macroeconomic  --  Substantial  Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Low  Low 12/15/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 5 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Youth Employment Project (P114042) Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Total number of days of workfare completed by youth over the course of the project.
