The objective will be achieved through the rehabilitation and expansion of water production, transmission and distribution infrastructure in urban and rural areas. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component A: Improvement of Water Supply Infrastructure (estimated at US$101.47 million of which IDA finances 64.70%)::(Cost $101.47 M) Component B: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building (estimated cost US$2.07 million, of which IDA finances 100%).:(Cost $2.07 M) Component C: Studies for Future Investments (estimated cost US$0.35 million of which IDA finances 100%).:(Cost $0.35 M) Component D: Project Management (estimated cost US$2.18 million of which IDA finances 100%):(Cost $2.18 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Moderate  Moderate 7/9/2018 Page 1 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Alat and Karakul Water Supply Project (P118197) Implementation Status and Key Decisions Progress towards achievement of the Project Development Objectives (PDO) has been downgraded to moderately unsatisfactory, indicating that the project is unlikely to fully achieve its intended objectives before the current closing date (June 30, 2019). Implementation Progress continues to be rated as moderately unsatisfactory due to limited progress of institutional support activities and infrastructure works. The total physical progress of civil works is estimated at around 40 percent. Out of nine civil works contracts, eight contracts have been awarded and are at various stages of progress. Two contracts are nearing completion, and two contracts are well advanced. However, critical works for the rehabilitation and expansion of water treatment plant Dvoinik (contract AK//W/01) have experienced substantial delays, along with the final package yet to be procured (AK/W/08R). It is now unlikely that these works will be completed prior to the closing date which places the PDO at risk. The World Bank and the Government are in discussions regarding strategic actions to be taken to ensure satisfactory completion, including consideration of a time extension. Despite overall unsatisfactory status, the Mission noted active efforts of the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services and Suvokova over the reporting period, and made note of a few positive developments, including: (i) recruitment of specialists for key PCU positions, including financial management, procurement, safeguards, monitoring and evaluation; (ii) payment of the Government’s outstanding co-financing share on all contracts; and (iii) facilitation of customs clearance for imported goods under the contracts.
