A workshop was also organized in Colombo with project staff from all provinces to discuss the Economic Cluster Support to be implemented by each Province.  Overall, it was found that Local Government Authorities (LGAs) have finalized their local development plans with community consultations and identified suitable sub-projects to fund, to help local communities. They are now waiting for funds to be disbursed to allow them to start implementing sub-projects. 6/14/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Local Development Support Project (P163305)  Funding for the Local Government Authorities has been delayed, since the central Government was not able to allocate the full amount (US$3.12 million) for the first Basic Transfer in September 2019 to LGAs across the 4 beneficiary provinces due to current fiscal constraints under the Vote on Account that was set up in anticipation of national elections and now extended due to COVID-19. However, it is expected that enough funds will be released in the next few months to allow LGAs to proceed with at least one sub-project. Further delays in funding are however likely to continue..  Project activities have been impacted due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Sri Lanka and to the resulting curfews. There are likely to be delays to project implementation due to the lock-down. The project team and the Ministry are also considering ways in which the LDSP can help respond to the COVID-19 crisis.
