INTRODUCTION 1. This Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to restructure and provide an additional credit in an amount of US$300 million (SDR 198.9 million) to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Earthquake Emergency Recovery Credit (ERC), P099110, Credit 4134-PAK.1 2. The proposed Additional Financing and Restructuring would support the Government of Pakistan’s efforts to respond to the loss of life and destruction wrought by the recent floods, helping to finance some of the critical imports necessitated by the disaster. The proposed Credit is part of the first phase of the World Bank’s strategy to assist in the floods recovery in Pakistan, helping to ensure the availability of adequate fuel supplies essential for relieving suffering and beginning the restoration of the productive capacity of the economy. The financing will cover expenditures incurred by the Government of Pakistan (GoP) on motor gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel imports needed for recovery efforts (as specified on a positive list in Annex 5), which will be determined on the basis of import Bills of Lading.2 3. The proposed operation would also entail restructuring the Earthquake ERC to: (i) extend the scope of the project to cover all flood affected areas, (ii) revise the Project Development Objective (PDO) and the description of Component 3 (import financing) of the project to reflect this extension in the scope of the project; and (iii) change the implementing agency for Component 3 of the project from the Earthquake Reconstruction & Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) to the Planning & Development Division, Government of Pakistan. III. BACKGROUND Emergency Context 4. Beginning July 22, 2010, Pakistan experienced extraordinarily heavy monsoon rainfall – nearly 30 percent above average – in the northern part of the country. Upstream, the high flow of water caused extensive damage to settlements, farm lands and infrastructure, while downstream, the Indus River and its tributaries burst its banks with flash floods inundating broad areas and submerging entire villages and towns. Continued heavy rains hampered rescue efforts while the surge of water, bolstered by runoff from further rains, proceeded to inundate many populated areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan Provinces. By mid-August, flood waters had reached Punjab, filling the reservoirs on river basins draining Southern Pakistan, before proceeding to trigger extensive flooding in Sindh. For example, the flow through the Sukkur Barrage (Sindh) reached 1.4 million cubic feet per second (cusecs), though the barrage was designed to withstand a maximum of 0.9 million cusecs. 1 This Project Paper was prepared by a team led by Hanid Mukhtar and Christian Eigen-Zucchi (SASEP), and included Asif Ali (SARPS), Augustine Pierre Maria (SASDU), Javaid Afzal (SASDI), Martin Serrano (LEGES), Rakhi Bhavnani (SASDU), Saeeda Sabah Rashid (SASFM), Shabnam Naz (SASEP), Shafqat Manzoor Mirza (SASGP), Nimanthi Attapattu (SASEP), Shaheen Malik (SASEP), Shideh Hadian (SASDU), Tahira Syed (SASDA). The team benefited from the advice and support of Chau-Ching Shen (CTRFC), Hadi AbuShakra (LEGES), Jennifer Thomson (SARFM), William Kingdom (SASDU). 2 Storage, handling, transportation and use of fuel would require implementation of the "Standard Operating Procedures" prepared by the GoP itself and emergency procedures in place to respond to any eventuality. Since the environmental category of the original Earthquake ERC is B, the environmental category of the additional financing, which uses the import financing component of the original project, will remain the same. Import financing does not involve or support any specific construction activities, so no new EMP/EA (part of the Bank's environmental safeguards requirements) is envisaged. 6 5. The floods and ensuing landslides have affected all four provinces, as well as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).3 As of August 31, river levels were still high and rainfall patterns have not returned to their normal states, with the consequence that several new villages are being flooded as barrages and other flood control structures yield to the sustained water pressure. It is likely to be some time before the waters recede fully. On August 11, 2010, the GoP requested the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to undertake a Damages and Needs Assessment (DNA) in the flood-hit areas, and the One UN to undertake an Early Recovery Needs Assessment. In partnership with development partners and other stakeholders, the DNA was launched on August 16, 2010 and is expected to be complete by October 15, 2010. 6. The devastation of the floods is national in scope. Preliminary estimates compiled by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) of the GoP indicate that 1,781 people have died and 2,966 were injured as a direct result of the floods, with figures expected to rise due to secondary effects, such as water borne diseases (Table 1). About 1.9 million homes have been damaged or destroyed, displacing more than 7.5 million people, many of whom are now in congested camps finding it difficult to meet basic needs like food, clean water, shelter, sanitation and medicine. Satellite imaging suggests that about 2 million hectares of agricultural lands have been inundated, destroying or damaging standing crops, causing major soil erosion in some areas, and potentially hampering the imminent new sowing season if waters do not recede quickly.4 The transportation system has been disrupted by broken roads, bridges and railways at various points, leaving many communities cut-off from public services and relief efforts, as well as the income earning opportunities of the market nexus. Key structures, such as schools, clinics, and municipal buildings have also sustained damage or been emptied of their contents. Electricity and telecommunications networks have been affected, and water and sanitation systems have been rendered inoperable. Other essential infrastructure has also sustained damage. For instance, the Pak- Arab Refinery Limited (PARCO) mid-country refinery, which supplies 20 percent of the country’s fuel consumption, was closed on August 7, 2010 due to the floods. With access roads and bridges to the refinery badly damaged, resumption of refinery activity is not expected before second-half of September 2010, necessitating elevated imports of refined products. It should be emphasized that the floods adversely impacted communities that were already vulnerable, with low coping capacity and limited human and economic development. Table 1.

In providing this financing, the International Development Association (IDA) does not intend to make any judgment as to the legal or other status of any disputed territories or to prejudice the final determination of the parties' claims. 4 Some positive effects on agricultural productivity are expected over the medium term, as new sediment may raise soil fertility. 7 Overall Economic Impact 7. The floods are expected to have a substantial impact on the pace of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, the rate of inflation, the size of the fiscal deficit, and the balance of payments (Annex 4 presents key macroeconomic indicators for the period 2004/05 to 2009/10). Before the floods, real GDP was projected to grow by 4.5 percent in 2010/11, but growth is now expected to slow. With some 12 percent of the cotton crop under water, output may fall by up to 2 million bales of cotton, out of a pre- flood expectation of 14 million bales. In addition, there are significant losses to the rice and sugarcane crops, and the agriculture sector overall has been adversely affected. Given the strong forward linkages in the economy through agro based activities, these losses are likely to cause a slowdown this year in industrial production from the targeted 4.9 percent growth rate. The services sector will also be negatively affected, due to reductions in ownership of dwellings, disruptions in transport, storage and communications, whole sale and retail trade, and losses in finance and insurance, especially if non- performing loans increase significantly. These dampening impacts are likely to be offset only in part by higher construction and public administration activity as the rehabilitation efforts get underway. 8. During 2009/10, headline inflation averaged a relatively high 11.7 percent, but it had been expected to decelerate significantly this year. A temporary acceleration in food price inflation is now anticipated as a result of flood damages to crops, vegetables, fruits, and livestock (many of those that survived now lack feed and fodder). Supply disruptions are also contributing to price increases, which are beginning to be reflected in the data. For example, the weekly sensitive price index (tracking prices of essential kitchen items), was 16.7 percent higher in the week ending August 26, 2010 than the corresponding week a year earlier, showing a two percentage point acceleration from the rate registered just before the flooding began. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP, the central bank) is moving to mitigate price pressures, and raised the policy interest rate by 50 basis points to 13 percent in July. 9. The budget is under strain. The 2009/10 fiscal deficit was 6.3 percent of GDP (compared to a target of 5.1 percent), owing to a substantial overrun on electricity subsidies, shortfalls in tax revenues and larger than envisaged federal development spending. The 2010/11 budget targeted a fiscal deficit of 4 percent of GDP, and although this target will require substantial revenue mobilization and a surplus at the provincial level, the government seeks to meet this goal, before the impact of the floods. While the more detailed assessment is still in progress, there is no doubting that the floods will entail heavy fiscal costs. Tax revenue may decline as economic activity weakens, while expenditures increase with relief and recovery related efforts. Various measures are under consideration, including cash and housing grants to households who have lost their livelihoods and homes. Restoring basic public infrastructure and services (roads, bridges, railway tracks, irrigation systems, schools, health centers, and power sector installations) will also require substantial outlays. Rationalizing and reprioritizing the existing development budget could yield some fiscal space, but overall, the floods may add significantly to the budget deficit in 2010/11. 10. Even before the floods, the current account deficit was projected to widen in 2010/11 from the 2 percent of GDP registered in 2009/10. The disaster is expected accentuate this trend, mainly by increasing the trade deficit. Export performance may weaken, as the textile sector is impacted by the need to source some 2 million bales of cotton that may have been lost due to crop damage, and a promising new export – cement – will now have to be diverted to domestic consumption. In contrast, reconstruction and rehabilitation will require a significant increase in imports particularly of food, medicines, fuels, construction materials, and machinery. Workers’ remittances are likely to continue playing an important role in financing household consumption in Pakistan. Still, substantial external finance will need to be motivated in order to sustain international reserves, which remained steady at US$12.2 billion at the end of August, 2010, equivalent to about 3.6 months of next year’s imports. 8 Relief Efforts 11. The GoP moved swiftly to implement relief operations, though the scale and extent of the disaster has strained its institutional capacity. More than 1.3 million people have been rescued in helicopters, boats and emergency vehicles, and hundreds of relief camps have been set up. Several international and national relief organizations have also been active, despite the continuing heavy rainfall hampering access. 12. The recent floods are of a magnitude and scale that would stretch the capacity and resources of any government, society, and economy. Relief and recovery requirements are enormous, straining public infrastructure, services, and fiscal resources beyond limits, and in many cases leaving critical needs unmet. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is coordinating the efforts of the GoP, the provincial counterparts, the development partners, and other stakeholders. The Planning & Development Division has been designated by the GoP to lead efforts towards medium- and long-term rehabilitation and reconstruction. The international donor community is stepping up its efforts to provide assistance, starting with the more than US$1 billion that has been pledged so far for relief and early recovery in flood affected areas. 13. Upon the request of the GoP for emergency assistance, and in close coordination with other donors, the Bank is responding to the unfolding disaster in the following ways:  Damage and Needs Assessment: To guide the development of a comprehensive strategy for recovery, the GoP requested the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to undertake a DNA. The process began in mid-August and is expected to be completed by October 15, 2010. The purpose of the assessment is to: (i) provide a damage and needs overview in key physical, productive, and social sectors, as well as cross-cutting areas of hazard risk management, flood management, economic policy, and governance; (ii) identify short, medium, and long-term needs and priority interventions; and, (iii) guide the design and prioritization of investment as well as other proposed recovery and reconstruction activities. A parallel Early Recovery Needs Assessment is being undertaken by One United Nations.  Emergency financing: The GoP requested emergency financing of approximately $1 billion, including the proposed Additional Financing and Restructuring to cover elevated import needs generated by the disaster.  Environmental Safeguards: An Environmental and Social Screening Assessment Framework (ESSAF) is being prepared as an umbrella document to be used on the proposed operations under flood emergency. The ESSAF includes an annex – General Guidelines on Environmental, Health, and Safety – prepared by the World Bank and IFC, which covers Health, Safety & Environment aspects in relation to potential environmental concerns arising out of some of the proposed projects. The borrower will ensure compliance and implementation of its own SOPs and the general guidelines given in ESSAF.  Short to medium-term recovery: World Bank staff have also been collaborating with the GoP to reprogram existing projects in the portfolio, in order to provide high-priority and fast-disbursing assistance for recovery. This is a quicker and more flexible way to meet Pakistan’s short- and medium-term recovery needs than designing and implementing a new multi-sectoral flood recovery project. It is anticipated that several ongoing operations will be restructured within existing credit amounts and used to finance recovery needs.  Long-term reconstruction: Over the course of the next few months and on the basis of the DNA, the GoP will be preparing a long-term reconstruction program for presentation at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Pakistan Floods in mid-September 2010, as well as at the Ministerial Meeting of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan in mid-October, and the 9 Pakistan Development Forum subsequently. In addition, and consistent with the World Bank’s emphasis on institutional development, the Bank is working with GoP counterparts and other partners on ways to strengthen Pakistan’s institutional capacity to effectively deal with the needs arising from recovery. 14. In designing its response to the emergency, the team has drawn from previous experiences and emergencies in other regions including the Pakistan Earthquake of 2005, the Earthquake in Haiti in 2010, and the flooding in Nepal and India in 2008. Bank staff representing a range of sectors, as well as key specializations in financial management, legal, disbursement, and procurement, have been mobilized in the effort, assisted by the Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). IV. RATIONALE FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND RESTRUCTURING 15. The proposed Additional Financing and Restructuring aims to support floods recovery efforts with fast disbursing import financing. While a fuller assessment is still under preparation as a part of the DNA, the floods are precipitating a sharp increase in imports, such as food, medicines, tents, construction materials, machinery, and fuel, even greater than the period after the 2005 earthquake (which was estimated to have caused a direct increase in imports of about US$1 billion). Fuel is a key category of imports, including motor gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel, which are essential for sustaining the recovery and reconstruction effort. The operation proposes to disburse the full US$300 million in Additional Financing against imports of these items (specified on a positive list in Annex 5). 16. The NDMA estimates that substantial amounts of jet fuel are being used by helicopters and fixed wing aircraft flying rescue and relief operations. In addition, heavy machinery, trucks, buses and other mechanized vehicles have also required huge quantities of diesel and gasoline to date in their engagement in flood response. Finally, as noted above, the PARCO refinery was closed on August 7, 2010, because of flood damage to roads and bridges which provide access to the refinery. Repairs are expected to take at least 5-7 weeks, suspending operations until the second-half of September. PARCO accounts for some 20 percent of Pakistan’s refinery capacity, monthly producing 60,000 tons of motor gasoline, 60 tons of jet fuel and 100,000 tons of diesel fuel. The closure translates into a loss of fuels worth over US$150 million, which will need to be imported in order to sustain adequate fuel supplies in the country. 17. The combined impact of the recovery related fuel usage and damage to the domestic energy infrastructure due to the floods is placing a significant strain on the balance of payments. Annex 6 provides estimates of PSO imports of motor gasoline, jet fuel, and high speed diesel, which sum to over US$3.8 billion in the relevant period between August 1, 2010 and the project closing date of May 31, 2011. Given the wide scope of flood damage across Pakistan, at least 20 percent of these fuel imports may be attributed to flood recovery and reconstruction activities. Adding the loss of fuels associated with the closure of PARCO, it is estimated that at least US$1 billion in imported fuel supplies may be attributed as having been necessitated by the flooding disaster, and the fuels category of imports will fully absorb the proposed import financing. The Additional Financing would help alleviate pressure on the balance of payments and ensure that adequate supplies of fuel are available to sustain recovery and rehabilitation operations. 18. The Bank Group’s Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) 2010-2013 is aimed at helping Pakistan address some of its major institutional, policy and financing constraints, and sustain high economic growth rates, manage conflict, and improve human development. The four pillars of the CPS focus on: (i) strengthening economic governance; (ii) improving human development and social protection; (iii) bettering infrastructure to support growth; and (iv) enhancing security and reducing the risk of conflict. In helping respond to the disaster, the proposed Additional Financing and Restructuring contributes 10 directly to the second and third pillar. Subsequent flood response initiatives will contribute to the other pillars, as well as the focus on “improving Disaster Risk Management” within pillar two. 19. As Additional Financing and Restructuring on the Earthquake ERC, the proposed operation builds on the Bank’s existing engagement on disaster reconstruction and risk reduction in Pakistan. At the request of the GoP, the Earthquake Damage and Needs Assessment was undertaken by the World Bank, the ADB and other partners in 2005. This was followed by the US$400 million Earthquake ERC, which was approved on December 15, 2005. As a part of the earthquake response, the Bank also provided US$238 million in additional financing to the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund for earthquake relief and rehabilitation, which leveraged a further US$26 million from the International Fund for Agricultural Development. This project had strong community participation in reconstruction and was also rated satisfactory. Additional financing on a province level project was also extended to the Government of KP for earthquake relief. Finally, the current initiative builds on other experiences in preparing Damage and Needs Assessments, including Emergency Cyclone Damage and Needs Assessment of Balochistan and Sindh (2007), and the Post-Crisis Damage and Needs Assessment of KP and FATA (2009). 20. It is worth noting that the proposed Additional Financing and Restructuring meets the requirements of OP/BP 13.20, in that implementation of the Earthquake ERC is satisfactory, and the additional loan is economically justified. The original credit has disbursed over 97 percent of the credit amount, with the Housing Reconstruction, Livelihoods Support and Import Financing components of the ERP have been fully disbursed.5 The most recent assessment of the project rates the current implementation progress as highly satisfactory, and the achievement of the developmental objective as satisfactory. The 2008/2009 Audited Financial Statement from the implementing agency (ERRA) were conveyed on January 6, 2010 and are acceptable to the Bank. V. PROPOSED CHANGES 21. The proposed Additional Financing and Restructuring on the Earthquake ERC is part of the first phase of the World Bank’s strategy to assist in post-floods recovery in Pakistan. It would support the efforts of the GoP to: (i) Reduce the immediate suffering resulting from the effects of the 2005 earthquake, and restore livelihoods destroyed by the 2005 earthquake; (ii) Restore basic services to the affected population and rebuild public infrastructure destroyed by the 2005 earthquake; (iii) Start the recovery and reconstruction process from the 2005 earthquake; and (iv) Enhance the resources available to adequately meet the early recovery needs of people affected by the 2010 floods. 22. The size of the proposed Additional Financing, at US$300 million equivalent, is based on the GoP’s request for emergency assistance and the evident requirement of greater imports. The proposed Additional Financing will reimburse funds on the basis of expenditures incurred by the GoP on fuel imports needed to sustain recovery and reconstruction efforts, which will be determined on the basis of import Bills of Lading and proof of payment. 5 The Earthquake ERC became effective on January 19, 2006 and has disbursed US$403.8 million to date (more than the original project amount due to favorable SDR – US$ exchange rate movements). 11 Table 2. Costs by Component (US$ million) Component Original cost Changes with Revised cost AF 1. Housing 220 - 220 2. Livelihood Support 85 - 85 3. Import Financing 85 300 385 4. Capacity Building 10 - 10 Total 400 300 700 23. No changes are proposed to the design and modalities of Component 3 as defined and appraised during the preparation of the initial Earthquake ERC. Project Development Objectives: 24. The Additional Financing and Restructuring involves broadening in the scope of the project development objectives: To support the efforts of the Government of Pakistan to: (i) Reduce the immediate suffering resulting from the effects of the 2005, and restore livelihoods destroyed by the 2005 earthquake; (ii) Restore basic services to the affected population and rebuild public infrastructure destroyed by the 2005 earthquake; (iii) Start the recovery and reconstruction process from the 2005 earthquake; and (iv) Enhance the resources available to adequately meet the early recovery needs of people affected by the 2010 floods. Key Performance Indicators: 25. The following indicators, to be monitored quarterly, will be used to review the implementation of the Additional Financing and Restructuring: (i) Stocks of motor gasoline needed for recovery operations maintained at adequate levels (Pakistan State Oil targets 10 days worth of consumption) during the period of import financing (New). (ii) Stocks of Jet A-1 needed for recovery operations maintained at adequate levels (Pakistan State Oil targets 10 days worth of consumption) during the period of import financing (New). (iii) Stocks of high speed diesel needed for recovery operations maintained at adequate levels (Pakistan State Oil targets 15 days worth of consumption) during the period of import financing (New). (iv) Value (in millions of US$) of certified Bills of Lading for fuels (detailed on the positive list of imports in Annex 5) needed for recovery operations (Revised). 12 VI. FIDUCIARY ASPECTS AND SAFEGUARDS 26. The overall fiduciary risk associated with the proposed operation is rated as ‘Moderate’.6 The GoP’s commitment to public financial management reforms is exemplified by actions already taken. Progress has been made in terms of the accuracy, comprehensiveness, reliability, and timeliness of financial and fiscal reporting; enhanced accountability and transparency; the use of financial information for informed decision-making; and oversight of the use of public monies through risk-based audits. Disbursements for this component will be transaction based made against withdrawal applications to be submitted every month until the completion of disbursement after which the Ministry of Finance will provide a written confirmation certifying the receipt of the Rupees equivalent of the Credit into the Consolidated Fund Account of the GoP, the date of the receipt, and the exchange rate applied to translate the credit currency into Rupees. A direct link between the goods covered under import financing and their usage in flood related activities is not entirely possible. The disbursement will be made as reimbursement of import expenses based on provision of proof of import and payment and a letter of comfort providing assurance that the imported items are used for intended purposes. Acceptable annual audited financial statements will be provided to the Bank by December 31, 2011. The Auditor General of Pakistan is acceptable to the Bank as auditor for this operation. Procurement 27. A positive list of items for import financing has been agreed with the GoP (Annex 5). Procurement will be carried out in accordance with the Bank's Procurement Guidelines (Guidelines. Procurement under IBRD Loan and IDA Credits of May 2004 revised October 2006 and May 2010). Up to 40 percent of the Credit amount may be applied by the Borrower to contracts for goods on the positive list made between August 1, 2010 and the expected date of signing of the Financing Agreement, and will be eligible for retroactive financing, provided procurement procedures acceptable to the Association have been followed. 28. Commonly traded commodities may be procured under the Credit by the public sector through established international commodity markets as defined in Clause 2.68 of the Bank's Procurement Guidelines, or through simplified procurement procedures in accordance with the Bank's Procurement Guidelines (Table P1). All contracts would be subject to a post review by the Bank. The post review will consist of verification of import documentation, including commercial invoices, Bills of Lading and import Bills of Lading (Customs) provided and certified by the State Bank of Pakistan. 29. Goods other than commodities procured by the public sector under this Credit would follow simplified international competitive bidding, in accordance with the Bank’s Procurement Guidelines (Clauses 2.66 and 2.67). However, to facilitate the speedy import of items required immediately for the recovery effort, public sector agencies would be able to use Shopping procedures, in accordance with Clauses 3.5 of the Bank's Procurement Guidelines, for contracts of value less than US$3 million each up to a period of one year from the date of the Financing Agreement. All contracts would be subject to a post review by the Bank. 6 Being based on import Bills of Entry, the proposed import financing for fuels are tracked to the point of entry into Pakistan, after which the fuels enter the regular distribution network. The corresponding financing flows into a foreign exchange account of the SBP followed by a corresponding transfer of Pakistani rupees into the GoP’s consolidated fund, as described in paragraph 36 below. 13 Table 4.

A Federal level Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment was completed in June 2009.7 It noted that reforms underway have contributed towards improvements in public financial management systems. Most notable are the ones initiated under the Project to Improve Financial Reporting and Auditing (PIFRA) funded by the Bank and the implementation of a Medium Term Budgetary Framework which is supported by DfID. Donor-funded projects and a number of self accounting entities remain outside the government financial management information system. The GoP is yet to develop an effective internal audit function and continuing efforts are needed to improve the effectiveness of tax collection and the management of cash balances impacting the predictability in availability of funds. 31. A Public Expenditure, Procurement and Financial Management review was completed in 2010. The review concluded, inter alia, that expenditure effectiveness would be fostered by a concerted review and revision of government business processes to eliminate redundant procedures in expenditure commitment and payments, particularly for the development budget. 32. PIFRA supported the introduction of a new accounting model, an IMF GFS-compliant Chart of Accounts (CoA) for the general government. The mapping of the new accounting model CoA to GFSM 2001 is substantially complete, including full coverage of the Public Account and financing data. 33. Timeliness of end-year financial reporting has improved at the federal level and in all provinces and districts owing to the introduction of the automated budget management system. Within 12 to15 days of the end of each month, civil accounts are prepared and presented to the Ministry of Finance. Year-end financial statements have been prepared on the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) basis by the federal government and all provinces. District governments have also transitioned to this form of reporting as part of Government’s international financial reporting regime. 7 The PEFA PFM Performance Measurement Framework (known as the PEFA Framework) has been developed to assess and develop essential PFM systems, by providing a common pool of information for measurement and monitoring of PFM performance progress, and a common platform for dialogue. The PEFA Program is a multi-donor partnership between the World Bank, the European Commission, and the UK’s Department for International Development, the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the International Monetary Fund. 14 34. To enhance the effectiveness of external audit, a risk-based audit methodology compliant with international standards is being applied to the federal government accounts and to the financial statements of provinces and some districts. In addition, efficiency has improved through the use of Computer Assisted Audit Techniques and the application of systems-based audit methodology. The 2008-09 financial statements along with the audit reports of Federal, all four Provinces and state owned enterprises were completed by end-January 2010 and submitted to the President and respective Governors by end- February 2010. 35. Legislative oversight across the federal and provincial governments has seen a marked improvement over the last few years. Enormous efforts have been made by Federal, Punjab, and KP Public Accounts Committees to reduce the backlog of un-discussed audit reports and audited accounts, which was due to recurring interruptions of legislative oversight in the past. i. Funds Flow Arrangements 36. The Government of Pakistan will identify a Foreign Exchange Account with SBP, which forms part of the country’s official foreign exchange reserves, into which the proceeds of the Credit will be disbursed. The Rupees equivalent of the funds in the Account will, within two working days, be transferred into the Consolidated Fund of the Government of Pakistan (Account No. 1–Non-Food) held with SBP. ii. Disbursements 37. Disbursements will be transaction-based and made against withdrawal applications for reimbursements submitted by the Planning & Development Division which is the implementing agency for the Import Financing Component. Withdrawals are to be made every month until the disbursement for this component is complete. Under the present arrangements, the fuels noted on the positive list will be imported by Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and enter into the regular domestic distribution network. As such, it will not be practicable to specify and identify a 100 percent linkage between Bank disbursements and flood related expenditures incurred by the government. Nonetheless, the GoP will provide reasonable assurance in the form of a letter of comfort that the proceeds of the additional financing are used to cover flood related expenses. The cost of imports as per the positive list will therefore be reimbursed based on:  Proof of import i.e. the Bills of Lading;  Proof of payment such as retirement documents of Letter of Credit related to the imported items; and  A letter of comfort from the PC certifying that the consumption of imported fuels financed by this operation is related to flood recovery, reconstruction or rehabilitation activities. 38. The Credit will be disbursed over a period of up to ten months. Allocation of Credit proceeds per disbursement category is indicated in the table below. Allocation of Credit Proceeds Category Amount of Credit Percentage of Expenditures to (expressed in USD) be Financed Goods under Part 3 of the Project 300,000,000 100% TOTAL AMOUNT 300,000,000 IDA financing is inclusive of import duties and taxes 15 iii. Retroactive Financing 39. Retroactive financing of up to 40% of the amount of the Credit will be provided for eligible expenditures incurred from August 1, 2010 to the date of signing of the Credit. iv. Accounting, Assurance and Auditing 40. The Planning & Development Division will maintain records to support the amounts claimed for usage in flood-related recovery, reconstruction or rehabilitation activities. These will be made available for audit and verification purposes to the Bank. 41. Within 45 days of the completion of disbursement of the Credit, the Ministry of Finance will provide a written confirmation certifying the receipt of the Rupees equivalent of the Credit into the Consolidated Fund Account of the GoP, the date of the receipt, and the exchange rate applied to translate the credit currency into Rupees. 42. Annual financial statements for the Project will be prepared in accordance with cash basis international public sector accounting standards. These will include information on utilization of the imported items from the positive list in flood-related recovery, reconstruction or rehabilitation activities. 43. External audit will be conducted by the Supreme Audit Institution, i.e., the Office of the Auditor General of Pakistan, which is acceptable to the Bank. Acceptable audited financial statements for the project will be submitted within 6 months of the close of the financial year. Audit Report Type Due Date Project Financial Statements for Financial Year December 31, 2011. ended June 30, 2011. v. Conditionality 44. The funds from the Project will be not be used for military or paramilitary purposes. Safeguards 45. Since the environmental category of the original Earthquake ERC is B, the environmental category of the additional financing, which uses the import financing component of the original project, will remain the same. Import financing does not involve or support any specific construction activities, so no new EMP/EA (part of the Bank's environmental safeguards requirements) is envisaged. As noted above, an Environmental and Social Screening Assessment Framework (ESSAF) was prepared as a part of the original Earthquake ERC, and a revised / updated ESSAF is being prepared for the floods ERC project (expected at the end of 2010). It is to be an umbrella document covering the majority of the proposed operations under flood emergency. The borrower will ensure compliance and implementation of its own SOPs and the general guidelines given in ESSAF. Since storage, handling and transportation of fuels is a routine business for the fuel companies with adequate Health, Safety & Environment system in place, there is no need to create any further hierarchy within for the project component being financed by the Bank. The project does not expect any large scale, significant and or irreversible environmental impacts arising due to the proposed interventions to be supported through import financing. 16 VII. APPRAISAL SUMMARY 46. Appraisal was completed by September 14, 2010. The Bank team, including procurement and financial management colleagues, met with counterparts from the Planning & Development Division (the designated implementing agency), the NDMA and PSO. The proposed import financing was discussed in detail, noting that the intent of the financing instrument was to provide liquidity and help finance the GoP’s overall response to the emergency and protect its fiscal accounts. It was also highlighted that the Bank’s emergency procedures allow for the financing of public and private sector expenditure on a positive list of goods, both domestic and imported, required for Pakistan’s emergency recovery program. As such, the teams agreed on meaningful and feasible monitoring indicators described above and in the results framework, as well as the modalities of the financing, based on import bills of lading, proof of payment, and a comfort letter. All parties emphasized the importance of swift processing. Procurement 47. It is expected that the GoP will utilize the funds under this credit for the import of fuel. The fuels expected to be imported under this facility are (i) MOGAS or Motor Gasoline (ii) Jet A1 Fuel and (iii) High Speed Diesel. These imports will be procured by Pakistan State Oil (PSO) using established industry practices. Items (i) and (ii) are procured through open tender processes. Advertisements are placed in leading local and international newspapers and on the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) website, based on demand generated. Tenders are opened publicly in the presence of bidders, the PSO and a MPNR representative. Any bids not fulfilling bidding criteria, or conditional bids, are rejected on the spot in the presence of the bidders. Conforming bids are evaluated by a committee and the lowest evaluated bidder is offered a contract. The pricing mechanism is based on Arabian Gulf Median, as quoted by Platt's, using the average of prices two days prior and post the Bill of Lading date, plus a premium that the supplier quotes. The award decision is approved by the PSO management committee. Item (iii) is imported from Kuwait Petroleum Company (KPC), based on a long term government to government contract between the governments of Kuwait and Pakistan. KPC is offered the right of first refusal, and if they cannot supply the needed fuel, then spot tendering is carried out in the manner described above. The contract is renewed every three years and the premium is reviewed every 60 days. It is understood that the KPC is the supplier of choice because they are the most reliable supplier in the region, and also because it does not make commercial sense to import from outside the regional markets. It was explained that the premium paid is competitive. The pricing mechanism is the same as described above. Financial Management and Disbursement 48. Disbursements for this component will be transaction based made against withdrawal applications to be submitted every month until the completion of disbursement after which the Ministry of Finance will provide a written confirmation certifying the receipt of the Rupees equivalent of the Credit into the Consolidated Fund Account of the GoP, the date of the receipt, and the exchange rate applied to translate the credit currency into Rupees. A direct link between the goods covered under import financing and their usage in flood related activities is not entirely possible. The disbursement will be made as reimbursement of import expenses based on provision of proof of import and payment and a letter of comfort providing assurance that the imported items are used for intended purposes. Acceptable annual audited financial statements will be provided to the Bank by December 31, 2011. The Auditor General of Pakistan is acceptable to the Bank as auditor for this operation. 17 Annex 1: Results Framework and Monitoring Indicators Revisions to the Results Framework Comments/ Rationale for Change PDO Current (PAD) Proposed To support the efforts of the To support the efforts of the The proposed Additional Government of Pakistan to: Government of Pakistan to: Financing and Restructuring operation will help the (i) Reduce the immediate suffering (i) Reduce the immediate suffering authorities respond to the recent resulting from the effects of the resulting from the effects of the floods disaster by providing earthquake and restore 2005 earthquake, and restore import financing for fuels – an livelihoods destroyed by the livelihoods destroyed by the 2005 essential support to the earthquake; earthquake; recovery operations being under by the GoP and other partners.
