Since the last ISR in September 2024, total disbursements have increased from approximately 40% to nearly 64% of IDA with all major water infrastructure works underway. Increased quality control of project works is supporting timely delivery. Two NGOs that are the main implementing agencies for many of the community-related activities are also helping to accelerate project performance. 5.
