The program is the result of a collaborative effort initiated by respective governments in the Central Asia region which has been developed as a regional, multi-phase program considered as a regional project under IDA16 and IDA 17 with substantialtransformational impact. The project development objective (PDO) of the Second Phase of the Central Asia Road Links Program (CARs-2) is to increase transport connectivity between the Republic of Tajikistan and neighboring countries along priority cross-border road links in Sugd Oblast and to support improvements in road operations and asset management practices. The road sections to be financed under CARs-2 prioritize connectivity between Sugd Oblast in Tajikistan with Batken and Osh Oblasts in the Kyrgyz Republic and Ferghana Oblast in Uzbekistan. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Rehabilitation of priority road sections in the Sugd Oblast:(Cost $51.00 M) Improvement of Road Operations and Asset Management Practices:(Cost $2.00 M) Project Management and Implementation:(Cost $1.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Satisfactory  Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory 6/28/2017 Page 1 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) Overall Risk Rating  High  High Implementation Status and Key Decisions While the progress towards achieving the project development objective remains "Satisfactory", the overall implementation progress has now been downgraded from "Satisfactory" to "Moderately Satisfactory" on interim basis, until several pending issues are resolved. Works under civil works and institutional components are progressing generally well, but with some delays, particularly on the western road section. All major contracts related to civil works and institutional components have been signed, and are in active phase of implementation. The MOT with support of its Project Implementation Group is ensuring generally adequate monitoring of the works, however more attention would be critical also under the institutional component (Component 2) to ensure high quality outputs. The existing FM and procurement arrangements are found adequate and acceptable to the Bank. Project performance on social safeguards is rated as moderately satisfactory, and on environmental safeguards as satisfactory. On the basis of the successful dialogue between the Bank and the MoT, as well as generally satisfactory collaboration under the on-going project, the Bank is considering extension of its support to the sector in terms of the next phase of the CARs program to envisage modernization and upgrade of road and airport infrastructure with the link to tourism in the southern region. 6/28/2017 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links -
