Current disbursement stands at 81% and is expected to reach 94% by the end of Project, as some activities will likely not be implemented because of delay in safeguards requirements completion. This rate may increase after the cancellation of amounts related to not started activities. As safeguards documents for the quasi totality of remaining civil works, are not yet approved and implemented, it was agreed to continue, in parallel, the completion of safeguard documents and the selection of contractors for works and consultants firms for supervision. However, no contract could be signed if the remaining time before project closing date is not enough to complete works and if the safeguards requirement are not done. All expenditure related to a contract signed without respect of those conditions, will be eligible to IDA funds. 12/30/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Benin Cities Support Project / PAURAD (P122950) By end of January 2020, all activities related to civil works without a signed contract, complying with the conditions above, will be cancelled. The Government will submit to the Bank, a request to cancel related amounts. Given the current disbursement rate, the ongoing activities and the already achieved results, this cancellation will not have any significant impact on the achievement of the PDO.
