Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

These activities are in the process of being scaled up from 103 to 357 schools in total (229 public and 128 non-public schools). The timely preparation of new school activities indicates that most activities should start on time for the beginning of school year 2019-2020 in initial and new schools. Component 1: 9/24/2019 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Providing an Education of Quality in Haiti (PEQH) (P155191) Activities contributing to the achievement of PDO Indicator 1 (Strengthen public management of the education sector) are progressing. The Education Management Information System (EMIS) implementation strategy was designed by the Information System Unit and validated by the MENFP in April 2019. The Project is currently supporting its operationalization and the integration of data from the Quality Assurance System. The Project also supported the DAEPP (Direction Appui à l’Enseignement Privé et du Partenariat) to conduct a field mission in May 2019 in Project- supported schools to train school committees according to the MENFP’s standards. Other discussions to support technical directorates through the Quality Assurance System are on-going such as with the Technical Directorate for Professional Training on the design of the in-service teacher and director training programs. Component 2: Activities are advancing satisfactorily, and a baseline for PDO Indicator 2 has been set as planned prior to the additional financing meeting in March 2019. While the PDO has been revised to better capture changes in overall school quality it was decided that the original indicator would still be measured as an IRI to ensure that the project still benefits to the lowest performing schools to improve equity. Subcomponent 2.1: Progress is being made toward the achievement of the PDO. Budgets for community schools for the school year 2019-2020 were approved and are in the process of being disbursed. Other project’s interventions such as delivery of school books and kits should start on time for the beginning of the school year 2019-2020. Subcomponent 2.2: The on-boarding of the new public schools has been completed. Main QAS-related activities such as school feeding, delivery of school books and kits, technical assistance, trainings and implementation of school improvement plans should start on time in current and new schools for the beginning of school year 2019-2020. As a result PDO Indicator 3d intermediate target will be met. Component 3: Subcomponent 3.2: The on-boarding of the new non-public public schools has been completed and technical assistance is being provided to school committees to meet the requirements of the program. School teachers and directors have also been invited to trainings on school management, the use of school books and a Creole and French Scripted method. The first tranches of the grant should be disbursed before the end of September 2019. Learning assessments will be implemented in schools during the first trimester of school year 2019-2020 to establish the baseline for performance requirements for result-based financing disbursements.
