Regarding the average IRI indicator (3 below), no measurement was available to update the indicator at the time of preparing this ISR. More details are provided below. 1. An integrated financial management (FM) information system has been detailed, designed, installed, and used by ABC. The activity related to this indicator has experienced some delays but also registered progress. Indeed, the FM system has been designed and installed. It is expected to be in use by ABC by the end of the calendar year 2019. However, formalization of the conceptual framework is delayed, which could hinder the completion of the activity. 2. Development of ABC’s strategy for primary highway network rehabilitation planning, including the purchase and installation of pavement. A management system is to be populated with pertinent data. The achievement of these objectives relies on an ongoing consultancy financed by IDB. The completion of the activity is expected by September 2020. 3. Average IRI. In the previous ISR a slight improvement in the indicator was reported to take into account the start of rehabilitation and maintenance activities between the baseline and April 2019. Since the last ISR, rehabilitation and maintenance work has progressed significantly, resulting in a notable increase in disbursements. This work probably contributed to improving transit conditions and thus the average IRI. However, the team was unable to obtain an accurate measure of progress toward this indicator, since it has not yet been measured by the control and monitoring (C&M) consultant. As a result, it has not been possible to update this indicator to its actual value for this ISR. The measurement of this indicator by the C&M consultant responds to a specific schedule that doesn’t necessarily correspond to the ISR cycle. The team will evaluate a possible method to obtain intermediate assessment of the indicator to report progress on the ISR. This will be analyzed in collaboration with ABC during the next MTR mission.

Special effort will be made to capture the values for the citizen engagement indicator and subindicators included in the Project on road user satisfaction (including gender disaggregation), and to fortify the grievance redress mechanism and citizen engagement alternatives. 11/21/2019 Page 4 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report BO Road Sector Capacity Development Project (P144597) 1. Conceptual design of integrated financial management system. The achievement of this target has been delayed due to ABC’s difficulty in getting the conceptual framework updated with the Bank’s comments by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF, Ministerio de Economia y Finanzas), which is in charge of developing the system. The team is coordinating with ABC to resolve this issue with MEF. 2. ABC’s socio-environmental manual updated and approved. This deliverable has been split into two documents: a “Manual for the Liberation of Right of Way” and “Guide for Community Engagement and Communication.” The final versions of both documents are expected to be delivered by the end of the calendar year 2019. 3. Pavement management system installed and populated with information related to the primary paved network. The consultancy is ongoing with an expected delivery date in September 2020. 4. Road Safety Capacity Assessment. In progress: iRAP methodology for 1,000km of the core road network to be applied to identify sections of highest road safety vulnerability, and to develop recommendations for improving the same. 5. Direct project beneficiaries. Information will be updated with the help of the control and monitoring consultant now that work has started. However, this indicator could be reviewed in the MTR in order to refine the baseline and target. For now, it includes a broad definition of beneficiaries. 6. Citizen engagement. This citizen engagement indicator will be meaningfully monitored now that works have begun on four out of the five lots, and throughout project implementation. Project beneficiaries are already being engaged by ABC, the contractor and control and monitoring consultant. The indicator measures the percentage of the representatives of the social control groups that are from any of the following groups: indigenous, female, or from a vulnerable/marginalized beneficiary population. This proportion is estimated of 5 percent at present. Full follow up is expected in upcoming mission. The team will assess during the MTR if the methodology and indicator needs to be adjusted and how their monitoring or evaluation can be adjusted and improved. 7. Component B: Roads rehabilitated, Nonrural. This indicator shows the significant improvement in implementation progress, reflecting a total of 29km of roads rehabilitated in the four lots. Nonetheless, lot 5 is lagging behind with significant delays.
