Representatives of the Government of Rwanda met with the World Bank (WB) mission to jointly review the progress towards implementation of the Kigali Logistics Platform Connectivity Development Project (P180228). The objective of the mission was to: (i) follow up on the progress towards project effectiveness, (ii) review the readiness for works commencement and (iii) review and update the procurement and implementation plans. 2. A wrap up meeting chaired by the Permanent Secretary/MININFRA was held on June 27, 2024. The mission would like to express its appreciation to the counterpart staff from Rwanda Transport Development Agency (RTDA), the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM), the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) for the hospitality and co-operation extended by all those met. 3. This Aide-Memoire records the major findings of the mission and agreements reached between the Government of Rwanda and the World Bank and is subject to management review. The Aide-Memoire contains the following annexes: 1. Persons Met and Mission Members 3. Status of Legal Covenants 2. Results Framework 1 Summary of Project Status Progress The PDO is to improve resilient and safe connectivity from the KLP (Masaka) to Satisfactory Towards the regional logistics corridors and support local and regional economic Achieving activities around the corridors. The progress is yet to be made effective so the Project rating is currently satisfactory. Development Objective (PDO) Implementation Proactive actions have been taken on procurement of works planned to start Satisfactory Progress early in 2025. Draft bidding documents for road works were prepared and submitted by RTDA whereas terms of reference for the supply of laboratory equipment and the feasibility study for the development of the industrial parks are under finalization by MINICOM. Both implementing agencies are on track with their respective activities. Counterpart The Government contribution under the project will cover taxes on works and Satisfactory Funding services during project implementation. This will be budgeted for in line with the project progress. Project Whereas RTDA has confirmed that all the required staff are in place to support Satisfactory Management the project, MINICOM remains committed to filling the vacant positions 60 days after project effectiveness. Financial The two implementing agencies are advanced in putting in place the Satisfactory Management designated and counterpart funds’ accounts together with the approved signatories for the withdrawal of the project funds. No audit report was yet due at the time of the mission. Procurement As highlighted above (under implementation progress), procurement process Satisfactory for the key activities was initiated. The procurement plan for activities under implementation by RTDA was submitted while MINICOM is finalizing theirs in line with the discussions held during the mission. Monitoring and RTDA confirmed that the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan and the Satisfactory Evaluation necessary tools to collect data on all project indicators during project implementation are under finalization and this exercise shall be completed by September 30, 2024. The terms of reference for M&E Technical Assistance to conduct the mid-term review of the project will be submitted to the World Bank by December 30, 2024. MINICOM has committed to updating the remaining baseline and end target data during the feasibility study of the planned industrial parks development. Environmental All the required environmental safeguards instruments ESIA (Environmental Satisfactory Safeguards and Social Impact Assessment) and ESMF (Environmental and Social Management Framework) have been developed by RTDA, reviewed, and cleared by the World Bank, and disclosed both in the country and the Bank's external website. Social Significant progress has been made in implementing the agreed actions Satisfactory Safeguards outlined in the prepared Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP). The RTDA SPIU informed the World Bank team that all required dedicated project E&S staff have been onboarded as stipulated in the ESCP. Likewise, MINICOM will recruit a Social Safeguards Specialist, a Gender Specialist and a Community Development Officer to be dedicated to the management of social risks related to activities under their responsibility. 2 Citizen Public consultations were conducted in Rwamagana, Kicukiro and Bugesera No Rating Engagement districts covering proposed roadside investments, road safety and gender- based violence (GBV) awareness. Consultations will continue throughout the project implementation. Grievance The mission noted that about 17 Grievance Redress Committees (GRCs) were No Rating Redress established at the cell level across the three districts where the project will be Mechanism implemented. Considering no project activities have commenced, including the land acquisition process, no complaints have been received yet. Occupational To avoid and/or minimize any anticipated occupational health safety and other No Rating Health and related risks, the contractors will develop and implement the Contractor Safety Environmental and Social Management Plans (CESMPs) and relevant Management Strategies and Implementation Plans (MSIPs), such as Occupational Health & Safety Management Plans (OHSMP) Traffic Management Plans (TMP), during the implementation period and RTDA/MINICOM will ensure sound implementation of these instruments. Key Issues 4. The mission observed that while the Recipient made good progress in fulfilling the effectiveness conditions outlined in the Financing Agreement, a one month extension of effectiveness until August 16, 2024, was required. Following the project ratification by the Parliament on May 6, 2024, the Recipient is working on subsidiary agreements with the respective implementing agencies (RTDA and MINICOM). The Project Implementation Manual was prepared, reviewed and cleared by the World Bank. The legal opinion was not secured and the client requested a one-month extension which has been granted. 5. The mission noted good progress whereby the procurement process for the key activities was already initiated. The project preparation and appraisal missions had identified activities qualifying for anticipated procurement. These mainly include road works and the related supervision services, the supply of laboratory equipment for Rwanda Standard Board, the development of the industrial parks and modern market, and the feasibility study for the KLP phase II. Draft procurement plans for both implementing agencies were discussed, and the mission agreed to fast track their implementation with the target of having the first disbursement by February 2025. Project Progress 6. The start-up of the implementation progress is satisfactory. The mission commends the progress made as the procurement process for the key activities was initiated. Progress per component is provided below: 7. Component 1: Improving physical infrastructure (US$91.49 million) • Subcomponent 1.1: Upgrading of the KLP/Bugesera connector roads (US$77.49 million). Following the second round of comments on the draft bidding documents for the road works issued on June 24, 2024, RTDA is working on the final version. The contracting method will be design and build followed by multi-year maintenance using Output and Performance based Road Contract (OPRC). Requests for Expression of Interest for the supervision consultant were launched on March 20, 2024, and submissions made on April 11, 2024. Shortlisting is ongoing, and planned for completion by July 31, 2024. • Subcomponent 1.2: Environmental and social risk management (US$14.00 million) This sub-component will cover activities related to resettlement of project affected persons, livelihood restoration, environmental protection and road safety. A resettlement action plan was prepared, cleared by the World Bank and disclosed prior to project approval. Compensation of affected properties will start as soon as the road alignment is confirmed. 3 8. Component 2: Trade facilitation and logistics improvement (US$26.51 million) The mission held a meeting with MINICOM staff, including Ministry officials and the SPIU team to discuss the implementation progress of the MINICOM component, consisting of three sets of distinct activities: (i) upgrade of testing and certification capacity of the RSB, (ii) feasibility studies for selling points, local markets and an SME part, and (iii) a new Logistics and Distribution strategy for the country with a particular focus on the Phase II expansion plans for the Kigali Logistics Platform. MINICOM has made significant progress in preparing each of the three activities. • Subcomponent 2.1: Basic infrastructure for women, youth, and SMEs along the corridor (US$17.31 million) Terms of reference for the feasibility studies were reviewed and discussed during the mission, based on the detailed technical comments provided by the mission. While many of the comments referred to specifications that will be included in bidding documents, the mission recommended incorporating a “pre- feasibility” stage into the consultancy to enable an appropriate site selection based on economic, technical and safeguard related criteria. The initial bidding documents for each of the activities will be submitted to the Bank for prior review by the end of July 2024. • Subcomponent 2.2: Improved quality and standards of goods and services (US$5.2 million) Detailed specifications were prepared for around US$5 million worth of machinery and equipment anticipated for purchase. As the RSB activity is already well prepared, goods purchases by RSB will likely account for the first disbursement under the project. Therefore, to ensure a fast-tracked procurement process, it was agreed that MINICOM would mobilize procurement resources to help RSB structure its entire sub-component into procurement packages based on the most efficient and effective method of purchase under the World Bank guidelines. Following the procurement planning, the first bidding package will be submitted to the Bank for prior review by the end of July 2024, to be used as a model for subsequent bidding packages. • Subcomponent 2.3: Institutional support and strengthening MINICOM, RSB, and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) capacity building (US$4 million) Terms of Reference (ToRs) for MINICOM’s strategic activities were discussed including the Logistics and Distribution strategy as well as separate ToRs for the proposed KLP expansion project. MINICOM indicated that additional specification was needed in the substantive part of the ToRs, particularly to specify (i) the regional objectives of the logistics strategy, (ii) ways for MINICOM along with Rwanda Development Board (RDB) to procure, negotiate and manage the public-private partnerships existing and anticipated for the sector and (iii) for the KLP expansion project, better articulation of MINICOM’s vision, anticipated institutional requirements and the arrangements for broad private sector participation on the platform. Revised ToRs for MINICOM’s strategic activities will be provided to the Bank for review by the end of July 2024. 9. Component 3: Implementation support, monitoring, and capacity building (US$7 million) The component covers project management, operating costs, monitoring and evaluation institutional support and capacity building. Disbursement under this component will start upon project effectiveness. 10. Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response (CERC) (US$0 million) This component will be activated upon declaration of an eligible crisis or emergency by the Government. Safeguards 11. The overall environmental and social risk rating of the project is High. 12. Environmental and Social Risk Management. The overall project Environmental and Social risk management performance is rated Satisfactory. The SPIU developed all the required ESF instruments including the ESMF, RPF, 4 LMP, SEP, RAP, GBV-Action plan and ESCP. The final version of these instruments, except SIA, RF, and RP, have been disclosed in-country (RTDA website) and on the Bank's external website. 13. Significant progress has been made in implementing the agreed actions outlined in the prepared ESCP. The PIU informed the World Bank team that all required dedicated project E&S staff have been onboarded at the PIU level as stipulated in the ESCP. To date, four dedicated staff members have been recruited, including an Environmental Safeguards Specialist, a Social Safeguards Specialist, a Gender Specialist, an Environment and Social Safeguards Officer, and a Community Development Officer. The PIU is planning to conduct training on the ESF instruments for the new staff, as discussed during the mission. 14. The project allocated funds in the budget for expropriation costs under the RAP implementation to compensate for all properties affected by the proposed activities. A total of US$8 million from the project funds was designated for expropriation. To prevent delays in project implementation due to expropriation issues, the World Bank team advised the PIU to begin engaging with the districts and affected communities early on. This engagement should address necessary documents such as land titles, opening Bank accounts, and other related matters ahead of the project works. 15. The mission was also informed that a total number of 17 GRCs have been established at the cell level across the three districts where the project will be implemented. The PIU informed the Bank during the mission that they are in the process of preparing for training on grievance handling for the newly established GRC members. Currently, the established GRCs have not received any complaints since works and expropriation activities haven’t commenced. Fiduciary Management Procurement 16. Currently, RTDA submitted the procurement plan for six activities worth US$80,580,000 which is under review. These documents include bidding document for Design, Build and Maintain (DBM) following output and performance-based road contracting (OPRC) approach for Kigali Logistics Platform (KLP)/ Bugesera Connector (69.45Km), the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the supervision of these works and the terms of reference for the recruitment of a local Procurement TA. However, MINICOM has not yet submitted its procurement plan. In addition, draft procurement documents for key identified activities have been discussed and procurement inputs have been provided offline, they will be submitted in STEP as soon as the procurement plan is approved. In view of the good progress, the procurement performance is rated Satisfactory. Financial Management 17. Progress has been made in implementing actions agreed during the project preparation. Based on the assessment conducted, the Financial Management (FM) risk of the project was rated moderate. However, the FM aspect of the other projects implemented by RTDA, the Rwanda Feeder Roads Development project (RFRDP) is exhibiting inadequate Interim Financial Reports (IFRs), while for both the RFRDP and the Lake Victoria Transport Project (LVTP) there has not been any prior internal audit on project activities, low implementation rate of prior audit findings, low disbursement and budget execution rates, inadequate budget monitoring systems and adverse opinion on achievement of value for money in utilization of public funds. To remedy these gaps, the KLPConnect project has its own dedicated FM specialist who reports directly to the Financial Manager. There will be enhanced budget planning and monitoring system, the project management will engage with the Internal audit team to ensure review and follow-up of audit recommendations and the World Bank will deliver FM and disbursement training to build capacity of the FM project staff. 18. For both RTDA and MINICOM, the FY 2024/2025 Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB) is under preparation by the project. The AWPB should be broken down per quarter to fast-track implementation of project activities. The quarterly budget monitoring/utilization reports should analyze the following: the annual budget versus actual cumulative expenditure to the reporting date, quarterly budget versus actual expenditure for the quarter, commitments to the reporting date. The activities in the AWPB should be classified per cost category/component 5 and source of funding. The training plan should be submitted to the bank as part of the AWPB. Financial management performance under the two implementing agencies is detailed below: • RTDA 19. The project has been enrolled into IFMIS and a letter has been written to MINECOFIN requesting to open a Designated Account (DA) and approval of signatories. However, the counterpart FRW operational account has not been opened yet. The project is yet to submit the six months cashflow projections to the Bank to facilitate the request for an advance. The first project audit report (covering the year ending June 30, 2025) for the project is expected to be submitted by December 31, 2025. The internal audit reports will be submitted to the Bank together with the quarterly IFRs. The Finance unit is supported by the RTDA SPIU and the staffing is adequate. • MINICOM 20. The Designated Account is not yet opened, and the project is not yet enrolled on IFMIS. However, the project has written to MINECOFIN to request for authorization to open a project DA and approval of signatories. The counterpart operational account has also not been opened yet. The project is yet to submit the six months cashflow projections to the World Bank to facilitate the request for an advance. The project has no budget for FY 2024/2025 because the budget cycle was closed in IFMIS in April 2024 for FY 2024/2025 therefore the first payment will be made in February 2025 after the budget revision planned in December 2024. The first project audit report (covering year ending June 30, 2025) is expected to be submitted by December 31, 2025. The internal audit reports will be submitted to the Bank together with the quarterly IFRs. The Finance unit is supported by the MINICOM SPIU, and the staffing is adequate. Other Issues 21. Donor Coordination: Under the invitation from the Ministry of Infrastructure, the mission participated in the Joint Transport Sector Review Meeting convening all the Development Partners twice a year. The meeting main objectives were: (i) Presentation and validation of the transport sector strategic plan (2024-2029), (ii) Assessment of 2024/2025 priorities and related targets, (iii) Review of the implementation progress for 2023/2024 key policy actions and (iv) presentation of key analytical studies to be conducted in 2024/2025. The meeting was also a forum to critically discuss implementation challenges and share best practices to support the Government in timely delivery of projects. The Government acknowledged the support from the WB to reduce implementation duration by including land acquisition in the total project cost. Next Steps 22.
