Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1 - Regional Connectivity Infrastructure:(Cost $12.57 M) Component 2 - ICT-led innovation.:(Cost $7.51 M) Component 3 - Implementation Support:(Cost $1.92 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions This ISR presents developments in Project implementation since the previous ISR (April 2019). Rating for achievement of PDO: The rating for Progress towards achievement of the Development Objective (DO) remains as ‘Moderately Satisfactory’ (MS) as the deployment of the broadband network in the three islands is being implemented according to the milestones agreed in the contract signed in July 2018, and therefore the networks will be fully operational in the three islands by December 2019. The three countries have 12/16/2019 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Caribbean Regional Communications Infrastructure Program (P114963) requested additional financing for covering costs related to the deployment of the broadband network infrastructure, and completion of the grants and training program in Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The planned closing date for the Additional Financing is December 2020. Component 1 Key achievements since the last ISR include (i) laying of the Undersea Cable between Grenada (Grenada and Carriacou) and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Union, and two landing points in Kingston), (ii) the construction of Beach Manholes in the landing points for the submarine cable in each of the islands to be connected; and (iii) the roll out of all the fiber optic network planned, 330 km. of terrestrial fiber cable in Grenada, 450 km. in St. Lucia, and 290 km.in SVG, and (iv) the connection of 154 (46.95%) official buildings (schools and Government offices) in Grenada, 192 buildings (54.24%) in St. Lucia, and 174 (98.86%) in SVG. Component 2 The ICT-Led Innovation Component (Component 2) across all countries continues apace. In Grenada, both the incubation program and the ICT Skills training program are quickly closing out. The total number of people trained under the project are 1,993, with 40 percent being certified. In SLU, training and incubation activities are close to completion, with a small part of funds left to disburse. Remaining activities include contracting of the replacement Grants Manager and preparation of project closing documents to track, monitor and report impacts of the program. Regarding ICT training activities in SVG, progress has been made on the skills development component since the previous mission. The component has seen an increase in number of ICT trainees from approximately 400 to 600 in a number of basic and advanced ICT skills. The business incubation program has been operating within the Centre of Excellence (COE) since May 2016. Approximately US$ 1 million was allocated under the Business Incubation grants program component and as of the last call all funds will be fully committed.
