KEY ISSUES & STATUS 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The disbursement rate reaches 80% out of a total of $140 million. Under Component 1, the upgrade and paving of a 113- km road section between Marovoay andVohidiala on the Route Nationale 44 (RN44) were completed in September 2023, and the construction of the Manambondro bridge on Route Nationale 12A (RN12A) was completed in March 2024. The upgrade and paving of a 35-km road section between Somisika and Masinaka on RN12A are advancing but behind schedule. Under Component 2, road works to improve about 120 km feeder roads adjacent to RN44 and RN12A are underway. Under Component 3, the transport and agriculture digital platform is under development, while the construction of 10 digital kiosks along the RN44 and RN12A is ongoing. Technical assistance under Component 4 (capacity building and project management) is progressing satisfactorily. Although the project's closing date is March 31, 2025, it is estimated that a 3-month extension will be needed to complete the ongoing road works on RN12A and on feeder roads adjacent to RN12A and RN44. 5.
