Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Rural Roads Rehabilitation and Maintenance Works:(Cost $25.10 M) Institutional Capacity Building and Facilities Improvements:(Cost $1.40 M) Operational Support:(Cost $3.50 M) Immediate Response Mechanism – Contingent Emergency Response:(Cost $15.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Progress towards achievement of the development objectives remains Moderately satisfactory in light all the delays noted on all project activities. The PDO can still be achieved by project closing date in June 2025 provided that the PIU corrects the shortcomings such as weak management of contracts, responsiveness and close collaboration with the different directorates responsible for implementing the project’s activities. These issues were addressed during the last mission in May-June 2022 and actions taken to ensure proper follow up and corrections where needed. The additional work at PK 1+750 are ongoing and should be completed by end of August. However it was agreed that a more sustainable, long term solution (bridge) will be considered. Progress in implementation is rated moderately satisfactory in light of delays noted in the implementation of the project activities, particularly the preparation of technical and environmental studies for the remaining 325 kms. The technical studies have been revised to abide by the project design. The recruitment of the supervision missions is ongoing. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment report for the 325 kms has been finalized and the drafting of the Resettlement Action Plan is ongoing. 7/25/2022 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Chad Rural Mobility and Connectivity Project (P164747) The recruitment of NGOs to implement the Intermediate means of transport activities and the road safety activities have been launched. The implementation of the MIT activities is still delayed. The two NGOs supporting the project on health and safety awareness and GBV/SEAH issues are still on-site and active bringing awareness and training while dealing with incidents as they arise. The mission was able to meet with them during the mission and reiterate the importance of their mandates even if works are completed. There have not been any incidents or complaints since the last one in 2021. Trained and equipped local committees are still active to help beneficiaries in the 75kms. The same arrangement will be duplicated along the 325 kms taking into account the lessons learned from the first phase. Activities to set up an Integrated Rural Transport Infrastructure Prioritization System continue and surveys of rural roads has been carried out in the province of Mayo Kebbi-East and Mandoul. In total, it is planned to conduct this exercise in 9 provinces using a computerized system. The next mission will be organized in the Moyen Chari. This work will allow the identification and characterization of rural roads in Chad to enable better planning and coordination of investments in rural transport.
