No I. SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES The Nigeria State Education Program Investment Project (SEPIP) has recorded significant achievements in its five years of implementation. SEPIP original activities implemented in the States of Anambra, Bauchi and Ekiti have been completed and disbarment has reached 96.6%. Reports on the verification of the achievement of performance indicator targets by third party independent verifiers confirmed that the three original SEPIP States fully achieved and surpassed their targets for successive years from 2013 to 2016 as programmed in the implementation of the results- based component of the project. SEPIP Additional Financing was added in June 2016 in response to the need to restore and sustain education delivery in the 6 North East states that are affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. SEPIP AF 6 North East states began receiving funds in June 2017 to support psycho-social training to teachers, school improvement planning, provision school grants and teaching stipends. As of August 31, 2019 SEPIP AF has exceeded all the PDO-level and intermediate results indicators. Disbursement from the World Bank reached 50% of the AF credit and 3 of the six states (Bauchi, Taraba and Gombe) will complete their project activities by the end of October 2019. Three other states (Borno, Yobe and Adamawa) who are the most affected by the conflict still have approximately US$35 million to be committed. The project is currently scheduled to close in October 2019. Since these 3 states will need the funding and support to sustain their education delivery while the conflicts are yet to be over, the Federal Ministry of Finance sent a request to the World Bank requesting an extension of the closing date of the project to June 30, 2019 to enable SEPIP AF to support the 3 states for one more school year. The extension of the closing date will enable the three States of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe to support more than 2 million students to benefit from improved learning conditions through school grants and 32,200 teachers to continue to benefit from psycho-social support training and teaching stipends. There are no audits outstanding for the project. II.
