In June the mission noted considerable progress since the mission undertaken in February 2012. The main areas of progress were the following areas: (i) an increasingly well-functioning and well-staffed central PIU has been established with full qualified procurement and financial management specialists; (ii) significant progress has been achieved in the implementation of Component 1 in all three provinces being targeted by the Project (field visits undertaken during the mission confirmed that initial feedback from communities which had received relevant trainings were very positive); (iii) morale of the Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR8604 provincial PIUs has been uplifted, due to better communications with the central PIUs, more clear sense of direction, and some visible progress in Project implementation; and (iv) considerable progress has been made toward the completion of the baseline study (one of the conditions for disbursement under Component 2). More recently during the Country Director's visit, a meeting was held with the Minister of Agriculture and the objective was to discuss and agree ways forward to restructure the Angola Market Oriented Smallholders Agriculture Project to match the implementation capacity of the project with the closing date and bring the project out of the problems status. The meeting agreed to cancel US$10 Public Disclosure Copy million from the project since are likely not to be sued by the project by the closing date. It was also agreed that the resources canceled from the project will revert back to the Ministry of Agriculture in the new Country Partnership Strategy, under preparation. For the implementation of this agreement, the Government is required to submit a formal request for the cancellation. Once this process is completed the project will be upgraded to satisfactory. The Aide Memoire discussed with the government contain useful recommendations to improve performance in order to maintain the satisfactory status. Up to date, the overall value of contracts signed to date are estimated to be around US$8 million and additional US$2 million are in advanced stage of procurement and are likely to be completed by December 2012. The Government has also to request reallocation of some categories especially related to works since the value of the works is way above the estimates.
