No I. SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES The Project is rated satisfactory for both the PDO and implementation progress. All disbursement conditions were met, and the third additional financing became effective on December 4, 2018. An earlier restructuring was approved on March 27, 2019 which reallocated amounts under disbursement categories in Schedule 2, Section III on Withdrawal of the Proceeds of the Financing in the Financing Agreement (IDA Credit 6289) between the Republic of Nigeria and the Association signed on October 23, 2018. The earlier restructuring was consistent with the Project Paper and the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) where the amount allocated to WHO was reduced to a total of US$10 million equivalent and the amount allocated to UNICEF was increased to a total of US$124 million equivalent. However, the Government sent a subsequent urgent request to the World Bank for another reallocation of proceeds on July 1, 2019 in order to address the financing gap in polio operations required for outbreak response campaigns against incidences of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) in some states. This is an urgent and simple restructuring to reallocate SDR 7,250,000 (US$10 million equivalent based on July 2019 SDR/US$ exchange rate) from UNICEF to WHO (i.e., reallocate US$10 million equivalent from category 2 to category 1). Thus, the allocated amount to UNICEF would be reduced from SDR 86,310,000 to SDR 79,060,000 and the allocated amount to WHO would be increased from SDR 6,960,000 to SDR 14,210,000. The reallocated US$10 million equivalent (i.e., a total of US$20 million equivalent after the reallocation) to WHO would help finance polio operation costs that would be broken down as follows: Budget item USD Vaccination personnel allowances 10,800,000 Training and planning 3,400,000 Supervision, monitoring & evaluation 1,800,000 Intensified Supplementary Immunization Activities and Demand Creation 1,800,000 Payment Mechanism and others 891,589 Total direct operational cost* 18,691,589 Program support cost (7%) 1,308,411 Total project cost 20,000,000 The third category would remain unchanged. The total financing would remain unchanged at SDR 104,400,000. Given the urgency of the Government’s request and to enable WHO to ensure continuity in polio operations, this reallocation will be effective as of July 1, 2019. The existing standard agreements (previously referred to as MOUs) between the Government and UNICEF and WHO will be amended accordingly. This restructuring does not include any other changes.
