This paper seeks approval from the Country Director for a level-2 restructuring of the Benin Youth Inclusion Project (P170425, Credit No. 6809-BJ and Grant No. D755-BJ), which will mainly re-align some activities to support the government's ambition to address skills mismatch among vulnerable youth by providing them with on-the-job training opportunities. This is the first restructuring of the project. A. PROJECT BACKGROUND 2. The Benin Youth Inclusion Project (Projet d’Inclusion des Jeunes – ProDIJ) was approved on December 14, 2020, in the total amount of IDA US$60 million. It became effective on March 29, 2021, and will close on December 31, 2025. The mid-term review (MTR) was completed in June 2023. 3. The project responds to the Benin government’s concern about youth inclusion in a context where the country is experiencing growing risks of violent extremism, conflict, and criminal activities in relation to the Sahel crisis. ProDIJ expands on the foundation laid by the preceding Benin Youth Employment Project (Projet Emploi des Jeunes – PEJ, P132667, Credit No. 5392-BJ), which closed in June 2019. While PEJ focuses entirely on self-employment, offering business and socio-emotional skills training, as well as start-up grants to about 17,000 beneficiaries, ProDIJ encompasses both self- employment and wage-employment. It supports the National Employment Agency (Agence nationale pour l’Emploi – AnpE) in implementing Azôli (meaning the pathway to employment in a local language), an active labor market program designed for vulnerable youth, paying particular attention to girls and young people living in areas prone to violent extremism. B. IMPLEMENTATION STATUS 4. Progress towards achievement of the Project Development Objective (PDO) is on track. Despite a slow start, the project has made good implementation progress across all components and is currently on track to achieve its development objective. Progress towards achievement of the PDO is rated satisfactory and project overall implementation progress is moderately satisfactory. The cumulative disbursement rate stands at 65.79 percent. Specific progress can be summarized as follows: 5. Component 1: Supporting the development of a comprehensive system for economic inclusion of vulnerable youth (Azôli) and increasing employability skills (US$29.7 million). The Azôli program was rolled out across all of Benin’s 77 communes between March and June 2023, following a pilot implemented between September and December 2022. It is now the flagship program of AnpE. Under the wage-employment sub-component, by the end of May 2024, the AnpE had already liaised with 170 companies for potential internships for 58,372 vulnerable youth, including 31,003 young women (54.1 percent). As for the self-employment sub-component, the first wave (of 1,815 beneficiaries) has completed all training and received the start-up grant. Subsequent groups of beneficiaries are targeted primarily at promising agribusiness clusters. The first group (of 8,976 beneficiaries) has completed life skills training and has started technical training to be integrated into a cluster specialized in apiculture (beekeeping industry). Two further groups, including 8,000 beneficiaries selected for the rabbit farming/industry cluster and 3,000 for the snail farming/industry cluster, have just started life skills training. Finally, it is worth mentioning that local employment promotion units (Unité Locale de Promotion de l’Emploi – ULPE) are now operational in all communes and are managed entirely by commune staff. This is essential to ensure the sustainability of the Azôli program. Page 1 The World Bank Benin Youth Inclusion Project (P170425) 6. Component 2: Strengthening the technical training system and increasing technical skills of vulnerable youth (US$16.4 million). Ten training curricula have already been developed under the Project for the National Skills Certification (Certificat de Qualification Professionnelle – CQP), a “dual-type” apprenticeship combining on-the-job training with classroom training, in trades with high potential of income generation for vulnerable youth. To date, 2,188 (out of a target of 4,000) vulnerable youth have started the CQP training in the first ten trades. The Continuing and Professional Training and Apprenticeship Development Fund (Fonds de Développement de la Formation Professionnelle Continue et de l’Apprentissage – FODEFCA), in cooperation with the Directorate for Technical and Vocational Training (Direction de l’Enseignement Technique et de la Formation Professionnelle – DETFP), is in the process of enrolling the second cohort of 3,500 apprentices to be trained in seven new trades under development. Both cohorts will take the CQP exam by December 31, 2025. An impact evaluation is underway (with Development Impact Evaluation, DIME), to assess the impact of the Project's support to apprentices and master craftsmen. 7. Component 3: Increasing financial capital and improving access to financial services of vulnerable youth (US$9.4 million). The Project helps Azôli beneficiaries who opt for self-employment to address capital constraints by providing up to US$400 in non-reimbursable start-up funding to those who have completed the mandatory business skills training modules and have prepared their business plans. Transfers are made using microfinance institutions selected by the National Microfinance Fund (Fonds National de la Microfinance – FNM). The payment of grants started in August 2023, with a pilot for 50 beneficiaries from the commune of Tanguieta (one of the northern communes most vulnerable to the risk of violent extremism) and has since been extended, reaching roughly 11,000 beneficiaries to date. 8. Component 4: Project management, monitoring and evaluation (US$4.5 million). Project management by ANPE has been effective. Monitoring and evaluation capacity has improved. The management information systems developed or updated under the Project to streamline the processing chain and provide real time information on employment and vocational training are gradually being endorsed by key stakeholders. Many activities, under Component 2, including key ones such as the development of training programs and materials, have experienced significant delays, mainly due to differences of opinion among the main actors. The Component 2 Management Committee (Comité de Gestion de la Composante 2 – COGES C2), headed by the Executive Secretary of FODEFCA (the C2 implementing agency), was unable to harmonize their views. It has been replaced by a coordinating committee (Comité de Coordination de la Composante 2) with extended powers, headed by the Minister in charge of vocational education. Since then, activities under Component 2 are running smoothly. There are no outstanding interim financial reports (IFR) and no overdue or unqualified external audit. C. RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING 9. This restructuring will accommodate the government’s request to balance interventions between wage employment and self-employment in addition to the adjustment of institutional arrangements under Component 2 (replacement of COGES C2 by the coordinating committee mentioned above). During project preparation, wage employment opportunities for young people with little or no education were limited. The focus was consequently on self- employment. In the meantime, the government has launched large projects in priority sectors such as agri-food industry, textile industry, construction, tourism, and hotel industry, and is now concerned about having a pool of qualified workforce, including among vulnerable youth by leveraging the Azôli program (Component 1). Originally the Azôli program was designed to cover 6,000 vulnerable youth in wage employment, whereas partnerships currently being negotiated by AnpE for the Glo-Djigbé special economic zone alone (promoted by the government) cover labor needs between 50,000 and 100,000 youth. Page 2 The World Bank Benin Youth Inclusion Project (P170425) 10. Even though all project activities are now on track, delays encountered at the beginning of the project are unlikely to be made up, especially for Component 2, thus requiring scaling down ambitions for a couple of intermediary results indicators. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 11. The government's main request is to increase the target for the number of beneficiaries following the wage employment pathways, from 6,000 to 25,000. In the absence of additional funding, such an increase necessitates adjustments to other activities, impacting the results framework, component costs, and allocations between disbursement categories. A. ADJUSTMENT OF THE RESULTS FRAMEWORK 12. Increasing the number of beneficiaries following the wage employment pathways from 6,000 to 25,000, has spilled over into all related indicators. Changes in indicator targets are summarized below.

Both parties took the opportunity to: (i) reword four indicators mainly for the sake of clarity and (ii) revise the frequency of another indicator.

Page 4 The World Bank Benin Youth Inclusion Project (P170425) B. ADJUSTMENT OF COMPONENT COSTS AND REALLOCATION BETWEEN DISBURSEMENT CATEGORIES 14. Adjustments of component costs and reallocation between disbursement categories are detailed below in Section IV. Part of the resources initially allocated to Component 2 has been reallocated to Components 1 and 3 to accommodate the government's new priorities. No critical activities have been discontinued, nor have any components been modified. C. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL (E&S) RISK 15. The environmental and social focal points and the project coordinator are working together to implement the environmental and social safeguards as described and planned in the Project's ESMF and ESCP. The project's environmental and social safeguards specialists regularly organize advisory support missions for the companies hosting the trainees. Following the assessments carried out, some companies have become aware of the problems and have or will improve their Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) working conditions. Some companies are not yet implementing the corrective action plan. Environmental and social screening of host companies must be done prior to sending trainees, to ensure compliance with environmental and social standards. The risk of SEA/SH was screened to be substantial; existing mitigating strategies will be reinforced and implemented throughout the implementation of project activities. This includes, at a minimum, (i) monitoring that the project’s GM (workers and community) is fit to adequately handle allegations of SEA/SH, (ii) training of workers and the signature of a code of conduct, (iii) sensitizing the community and adapting communication tools to the range of stakeholders, including female project beneficiaries, master craftsmen and the various providers involved in the project implementation (iv) identifying GBV services in the areas of project implementation and (v) considering vetting procedures for the safe recruitment of staff. D. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 16. The financial management is performing well for the internal auditing arrangements. In the parent PAD, it was envisaged that the General Financial Inspectorate (Inspection Générale des Finances, IGF) would adequately conduct the internal audits of the project by including the project within its work plan to ensure that the internal audits are done semi- annually using a risk-based approach. These semi-annual internal audit reports were to be submitted to the World Bank within 45 days after the end of the semi-annual period and were to cover operations expenditures including per diems, travel advance, workshop costs and other soft expenditures, to ensure they are used in an economical manner and for the purposes intended as well as give special attention to cash transfers to be implemented under Components 1, 2, and 3. The IGF conducted its first and only review in September 2022 but this report was only received by the project in April 2024. The delay and lack of continuous review left a gap that the team proposes be filled by engaging a private audit firm to conduct quarterly reviews and have IGF conduct annual reviews. According to the implementation support mission conducted in May 2024, the performance of the project is rated moderately satisfactory with a substantial FM risk. The Project Implementation Manual will be revised to include the revision. III.
