After one full year of implementation, the client has achieved and surpassed 5 out of the 11 PDO indicators and forty-two percent of the funds has been disbursed. These significant achievements are primarily due to the success in establishing the cash transfers program supported by the Project. Key achievements for social protection include: (i) DPSSF provided advance payments to program beneficiaries for 4 months (April/July) to cope with COVID-19 crisis; (ii) DPSSF started the design of the parental education program to start on 2021; (iii) DPSSF prepared the referral system for project beneficiaries to be enrolled in professional training programs; (iv) DPSSF continues to strengthen its human resources and delivery systems of the program. 6/29/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Social Protection and Skills Development Project (P163088) Key achievements for skills development include: (i) establishment of the National Council for Skills Development to improve overall governance of the skills sector; (ii) development of pilot questionnaires for the tracer studies to measure the employability of TVET graduates; (iii) preparation of an initial National Skills Development Plan for Tourism; (iv) completion of a training module on small business opportunities aligned with the National Tourism Strategy; and (v) the launch of a program together with UNIDO to integrate the development of entrepreneurial skills into the secondary education curriculum.
