Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Unsatisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Unsatisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Substantial  Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The effort from the Government of Nepal has helped the Program to make a remarkable turnaround. A new team has taken over the Program’s management responsibilities. The Program has made substantive progress in recent months. It is now out of the problem status. It is possible to achieve the development objective if the Program’s upward trend continues. However, next six months will be crucial in order to consolidate recent gains made and to carry out activities that are critical in order to make the Program a success. The crucial areas that need urgent attention from the Program are: (i) design finalization of the urgent and major maintenance bridges; (ii) updating of the Bridge Management System data; (iii) effective control of the quality of bridges; (iv) making quick progress towards two disbursement linked indicators (DLIs): DLI 2 (minor maintenance of bridges) and DLI 4 (bridges completed to schedule). The Program has agreed to implement a number of identified activities to address these issues. The Bank team has also been helping the Department of Roads in these areas. 12/30/2014 Public Disclosure Copy Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bridges Improvement and Maintenance Program (P125495) Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed Disbursed P125495 IDA-51380 Effective XDR 38.70 38.70 0.00 13.30 25.40 34% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
