The team has carried out two missions to Karachi since the last ISR, in April 2019 and August 2019, and in both cases met with the Honourable Minister of Energy, Government of Sindh, who has offered his full support to implementation of the project. With the support of the Secretary, Sindh Energy Department (SED), a full-time Project Director is now in place, and SED is in the process of recruiting staff for the permanent Project Management Unit (PMU). The interim PMU is currently processing six major procurement activities, supported by the WB team. The RFPs for the Transaction Advisor (Component 1), Building Survey (Component 2) and Household Energy Survey (Component 4) have been completed, and are in the final stages of 9/2/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sindh Solar Energy Project (P159712) evaluation. Two other procurement activities relating to Component 3 - SHS Installation Tracking & Quality Control and SHS Social Mobilization & Consumer Awareness Campaign - are at the REOI stage. The PMU is also seeking a Procurement Consultant and a Financial Management Consultant to provide support and capacity building during this critical phase of the project. Once these contracts are issued the PMU will be able to focus more on project implementation and achieving the targeted results.
