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 Components Table 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 Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions Over the reporting period the project closing date was extended by 18 months, by 12 months, till June 30, 2020 and the percentage of remaining expenditures has been increased to 100 percent from the IDA resources. These changes were made in response to the Government’s request and 12/21/2018 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Alat and Karakul Water Supply Project (P118197) will help to alleviate some implementation challenges and enable sufficient time to complete on-going activities, assuming the implementing entities keep with their progress commitments. The Mission confirmed the PDO rating upgrade to Moderately Satisfactory – indicating that project results can largely be achieved prior to closure. Around 85% of the project IDA financing is committed with eight out of nine large civil works packages contracted and in progress. Two packages however are facing serious challenges: (i) AK/W/01 for rehabilitation of water treatment plant Dvoinik, which has seen limited progress, and (ii) AK/W/08R for construction of distribution network in southern part of Karakul district, which has experienced prolonged delays in procurement. Institutional strengthening activities under Component B, have progressed modestly over the reporting period, but are largely expected to be completed prior to closure. The Bank’s recent mission noted some progress in addressing several issues, including non-compliance with safeguards and financial management; but again emphasized the need to strengthen implementation capacity, including the form, function and resources of the Project Coordination Unit. Recommendations were provided to help facilitate a more active and structured engagement covering the full range of activities and accelerate implementation progress and results.
