In the context of the LDF, active community participation leads to better identification and prioritization of community level investments. The Local Development Fund (LDF) has financed around 7,000 infrastructure sub-projects in rural districts (soums) in 2017 and 2018, including the rehabilitation and expansion of child care facilities, road improvements and maintenance, and urban/soum center beautification. In 2019, the project has provided around US$4.3 million in the form of top-up financing to the overall soum LDF allocations, and nearly US$1.9 million in Performance Based Grants (PBGs) to 222 well-performing soums to supplement their regular LDF allocations. LDF performance is assessed through external Annual Performance Assessments (APA) which review the performance of soum authorities in relation to a range of governance, technical and fiduciary criteria. The APA process for 2018 was completed in a timely fashion, and the average 6/19/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Third Sustainable Livelihoods Project (P125232) soum score increased to 50% from 37% in 2017, well on the way to meeting the 60% end target. APA results are publicly available at the following website: http://tusuv-oronnutag.mof.gov.mn/. The 2019 APA is currently ongoing. Key capacity-building measures in support of the LDF in the past two years have included technical assistance for the revision of the LDF regulation and development of the associated LDF guideline modules, as well as the provision of training on the operationalization of the guidelines for specific target audiences within the local governments and communities. The project has also assisted the MOF in developing and operationalizing an online public procurement self-learning platform. Based on the good practices identified and lessons learned from 30 community participation pilot initiatives in planning and M&E undertaken with the support of the project in 2018, scale-up efforts of the community participation good practices for the LDF have been carried out around the country during the LDF participatory planning process in the first five months of 2019.

Therefore, a reliable source of information on the number of beneficiaries is lacking to update the indicator with a current value. A new MIS is under development, following a modular approach, and is expected to be in place with its core modules by early 2020 according to the current plans. 6/19/2019 Page 3 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Third Sustainable Livelihoods Project (P125232) Intermediate Results Indicators by Components Good Governance Performance-Based Support Program IN00703039 ►Percentage of bagh citizens who know the approximate current annual LDF allocation for their soum (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 1.04 1.04 1.04 20.00 Date 18-May-2018 18-May-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 IN00703041 Female (Percentage, Custom Breakdown) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.86 0.86 0.86 20.00 Date 18-May-2018 18-May-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 Capacity Building for Local Governance and Livelihoods IN00703038 ►Percentage of trained Aimag Level Support Team and national government staff applying skills learned through the project (planning, procurement, financial management, community participation and M&E) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 62.10 0.00 Date 15-Aug-2017 18-May-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 IN00703040 ►Percentage of soums’ government staff trained by Aimag Level Support Team with improved capacity (applying learned skills in planning, procurement, FM, community participation and M&E (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 62.10 0.00 Date 15-Aug-2017 18-May-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 IN00703042 ►Number of Aimag Level Support Team, national government staff, and soums’ government staff trained (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 4,064.00 10,570.00 8,000.00 Date 15-Aug-2017 25-Oct-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 IN00703043 ►Guidelines necessary to improve governance and community participation for the planning and delivery of LDF developed (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value No No Yes Yes Date 15-Aug-2017 18-May-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 IN00703044 6/19/2019 Page 4 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Third Sustainable Livelihoods Project (P125232) ►Number of LDF-related or other MoF regulations, which have been submitted for MoF review, with SLP3 support (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 Date 15-Aug-2017 25-Oct-2018 15-May-2019 31-Oct-2020 The revised LDF regulation was approved by the Minister of Finance on September 3, 2018.
