Achievement of the PDO will be measured by the following key performance indicators: (i) Number of people employed under SEEFOR youth employment program in participating states (disaggregated by self-employed, formal employment, and gender); (ii) Number of people with access to services supported in targeted communities (disaggregated by specific services: water points, classrooms, electricity connections, improve sanitation facilities, etc.); (iii) Percentage deviation of actual aggregate expenditure from budgeted expenditure in the participating states; (iv) Percentage of public contracts above threshold awarded through competitive process in each participating state. Project Beneficiaries The main beneficiaries of the project are the four state governments with selected ministries, departments and agencies and communities in Bayelsa, Edo, Delta and Rivers states. Specifically the direct beneficiaries of Component A – Youth Employment and Access to Socio-Economic services – are mainly youths who are unemployed and/or seeking to be trained in vocational and technical courses in order to find jobs or set up on their own, the technical and vocational training institutions themselves and the state ministries of education and agriculture. In addition, the state agencies responsible for public works and waste management will be provided with technical assistance for their oversight function on the sub-component for youth employment. The beneficiaries of the CDD sub-component are community groups and associations in the four participating states, including farmers, women groups and youths in the rural areas. ThePFM component will provide technical assistance to support reforms and capacity building in MDAs that deal with state public finance. These will include offices and staff of Ministries of Budget Public Disclosure Copy and/or Economic Planning, Finance, Due Process/Public Procurement, Board of Internal Revenue and State Houses of Assembly.

The project was approved by the World Bank Board of Directors on March 2012 with a closing date of December 2017 allowing for about 5 years of project implementation (factoring in expected lead time for project effectiveness). However, due to delays in the approval of the Borrowing Plan by the Nigerian National Assembly, the project only became effective on July 2013. The project has currently been effective for 10 months. The delay in the approval of the borrowing plan was outside the control of the project counterparts and World Bank task team and affected many projects in the World Bank Nigeria Portfolio. Regardless, the project is now formally 2 years old as measured from Board Approval. 2. Total project disbursement currently stands at about USD 17 million equal to about 9 % of the credit amount of USD 200 million. Given the complexity of the project in terms of component activities and number of implementing agencies this is a very good disbursement rate. However, given the current closing date of the project, disbursement looks low and it has been decided that a rating of Moderately Satisfactory as regards progress towards achievement of the Project Development Objective (DPO) would better reflect disbursements leveles when compared to a closing date of 2017. 3) The client and World Bank is working towards extending the project closing date until 2019 allowing for the envisioned 5 year implementation period. The disbursement profile for the project will be updated when the extension is completed. The process is expected to be concluded in the second half of 2014. Other things equal, this could lead to an upgrade of the rating. 4) An implementation facilitation and supervision mission for the project is being conducted in May and June 2014. A full ISR update, including updating results indicators etc. will be published after the mission. The Sections on Component Progress and Results have not been updated in this ISR and remain the same as in the last ISR filed in December 2013.
