The Bank team was informed during the last Implementation support mission (January 2020) that the Government made the compensation funds available in an amount of 1.7 billion XAF. This first tranche will allow the compensation of PAPs in the target cities. Rehabilitation works of Soukissa market in Brazzaville are now expected to start in April 2020, and roads works are expected to start by May 2020. Despite these delays and the significant volume of activities remaining to be implemented by project closing in May 2021, the task team acknowledged the efforts made by the PIU to implement the revised action plan agreed in December 2019, as well as their commendable technical 2/20/2020 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Urban Development and Poor Neighborhood Upgrading Project (P146933) contributions to the project restructuring discussions and process. Furthermore, the signing of a high-value contract under the Institutional Strengthening component (including US$ 6 million-contracts to produce Urban and Neighborhood Upgrading plans) led to a sizable increase of the disbursement rate which stands at 15,3 % as of February 2020 (versus 9% in August 2019). Finally, the task team noted the PIU's role in supporting the implementation of Open Cities activities in the cities of Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville. The main outcomes of Open Cities activities include the mapping of 300 km² of infrastructures in Pointe Noire and 200km² in Brazzaville. More importantly, the activities also helped build a community of students and professionals with applied skills in mapping and risk-related cartography, as well as raised awareness and interest about natural disaster risk and community intervention at the national and local government levels. The dissemination workshop held in Brazzaville on January 31, 2020 was chaired by the Ministry of Territory Planning and Large-Scale works,and benefited from national media coverage. An implementation support mission will be held in April 2020 to follow-up on the agreed measure and recommendations.
