The restructuring also reallocated resources to fund the Government's response to the Ebola epidemic in the East of the country through inclusion in the Project of a Contingency Emergency Response Component. An amount of USD 20 million will be disbursed to partner UN Agencies through the Contingency Emergency Response Component to help maintain a limited response capacity in case the Ebola epidemic in 7/24/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC Urban Development Project FY13 (P129713) the East of the country should flare up a second time. However, the level of implementation of project activities remains low, as reflected by a disbursement rate of 42 percent of the total project amount. The restructured project has made progress during the COVID-19 pandemic despite partial lockdowns in Kinshasa and elsewhere in the country. Rehabilitation of 6.39 kilometers of roads in Kolwezi and Kisangani is nearing completion, which will bring the total length of roads rehabilitated to over 31 kilometers. Rehabilitation of two schools in Kindu was completed and rehabilitation of other schools in Kindu and Mbandaka is nearing completion, while school rehabilitation in Kikwit is delayed due to contractor performance. Procurement of technical design of infrastructure investments in the four focus cities is at an advanced stage. Also, the selection of engineering and municipal management technical assistants to be based in project cities is nearing completion. To date, over 211,000 people have benefited from various infrastructure, services, and training due to the project. Once the COVID-related restrictions on domestic travel are lifted, the annual evaluation of city performance will be launched in a simplified format, with the results expected by the end of September 2020. For the first time, the evaluation will be done entirely by the Ministry of Decentralization and Institutional Reform without the assistance of external experts. Also, procurement of technical assistance to operationalize the National Equalization Fund is advancing. The preparations for the Mid-Term Review of the Additional Financing are ongoing with a view to holding the MTR during the month of October.
