Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project continues to make progress towards achieving its development objective, albeit at a slower pace than anticipated, particularly in light of the recent developments related to the social survey/assessment and targeting work. Progress towards achievement of PDO and Overall Implementation Progress ratings remain Moderately Unsatisfactory (MS) due to the delay in expanding the field activity to update the social registry in remaining governorates. Despite this delay, the project has completed a number of key actions which have contributed to improved implementation, including: (i) the official appointment of four additional PIU staff in January 2017 to strengthen the financial management and procurement capacity; (ii) an increase in disbursement rate from 18% to 43%; (iii) launching the field activity for the social survey/assessment in six 8/28/2017 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report TN: DTF Social Protection Reforms Support (P144674) governorates in April 2017; and (iv) the completion of the update of the social registry for the first 3,000 households. The launch of the field activity to update the social registry is regarded as a historical achievement for Tunisia as an important milestone to develop the solid information base to support and design social protection reform and to improve the targeting of social safety net programs, which is the development objective of this project. Furthermore, the technical work to develop the targeting tool has begun in order to inform potential targeting options which can be considered and adopted to better identify the poor population who would potentially be eligible for social protection programs. Risks Overall Risk Rating Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Overall  Moderate  Substantial  Substantial Comments The project risk rating remains substantial, particularly in terms of continued delay in rolling out the field activity to update the social registry in remaining governorates. In addition, there is a complex set of counterparts involved in the implementation of this Project; whereby the Grant Agreement was signed by the Ministry of Development and International Cooperation, Steering Committee chaired by the Office of President, the PIU is hosted in the Ministry of Finance, in addition to the different implementing agencies in the Ministry of Social Affairs. Although, this type of institutional arrangement is not limited to this project, but is attributed to the structure of the Government of Tunisia where the Ministry of Development and International Cooperation and the Office of President play an instrumental role.
