Construction of the two new branch offices (Dessie and Adama) are being closely monitored by the project team; purchase of ICT equipment and furniture is ongoing, and development of the business register is on schedule. Below is detailed project progress per each component. Component 1: Organizational and Infrastructure Capacity Development in the NSS: 12/26/2018 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ethiopia Statistics for Results Project (P147356) The construction works for the two new branch offices and at Headquarters (HQ) are ongoing. At HQ, the training center construction is 99% completed, the auditorium construction works is at 80% completion rate and the renovation of the library have started. Construction of the two new branch offices (Dessie and Adama), financed by the AF, has started and is expected to be finalized by June 2019. The four recently completed branch offices (Ambo, Hawassa, Bahir Dar, Mekelle) have improved working conditions. They provide CSA with new services, including training rooms, mini-data centers, and IT kiosks for the storage of statistical information; mini-libraries; and space to accommodate additional staff. All four branch office buildings have been handed over by the contractors to the CSA (Ambo branch office was officially opened during the mission). There remain however unresolved operational challenges that are being faced by the four new branch offices. These challenges are planned to be resolved under the AF project activities. Training on basic computer skills and other statistical software including CSPRO is ongoing. The project is also financially supporting selected CSA staff to attend master’s programs in various local universities. CSA and NPC staff attended trainings on GIS and National Accounts respectively in Bangkok, Thailand. Selected CSA staff attended a technical visit for experience sharing in Mexico in August 2018. Component 2: Statistical Data Development and Management: The project is supporting data development through technical assistance. The parent project provided support to the Agriculture surveys, the Pilot Population Survey and the first phase of the Business Register. The AF is planned to support the Agriculture surveys, the second phase of the Business Register and the Construction Price Index Survey. Ongoing activities include the final phase of the Statistical Business Register development and rebasing of the National Accounts. Two consultants are providing day to day technical assistance for the agency’s system administration and data base management. ICT development at the CSA remains a big challenge, even though the project is supporting several IT initiatives in the agency. Internet bandwidth at CSA has now increased to carry out day to day office work and video conference activities and the website development process is ongoing. Component 3: Statistical Methodology, Standards and Data Quality Assurance and Information Dissemination: The project is planning to conduct the third User Satisfaction Survey between December 2018 and February 2019. Other ongoing statistical dissemination activities are under preparation, including rebranding the CSA, upgrading and digitizing the CSA library and survey sensitization activities through advertisement spots and discussions with the Ethiopian Press Agency to publish and announce ongoing CSA activities. Component 4: Project management. The Audit report for the year 2017/18 will be finalized before the end of December 2018.
