The Project was signed on May 9, 2019 and became effective in June 28, 2019. This US$25 million project is implemented by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) and the Ministry of Health (MOH). A Project Management Unit is already established in the Department of Water Supply under the MPWT and a Component Management Unit has been established in the Department of Hygiene and Health Promotion under MOH. The project has four components, including (1) Delivery of infrastructure and sustainability of water supply and sanitation, (2) Sustainability of community water supply, sanitation, and hygiene support, (3) Implementation support and sector development, and (4) Contingency emergency response. Initial implementation is slow, and the Bank team is closely supporting the Clients to accelerate progress. 11/27/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Scaling-Up Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Project (P164901) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Substantial Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Substantial Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies High High High Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability High High High Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes PDO 1: Provide access to improved water supply in selected areas IN00759918 ►People provided with access to improved water sources (Number, Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 192,000.00 Date 06-Aug-2018 10-May-2019 05-Nov-2019 31-Mar-2024 This indicator measures the cumulative number of people who benefited from improved water supply Comments: services that have been constructed through operations supported by the World Bank.
