The program is the result of a collaborative effort initiated by respective governments in the Central Asia region which has been developed as a regional, multi-phase program considered as a regional project under IDA16 and IDA 17 with substantialtransformational impact. The project development objective (PDO) of the Second Phase of the Central Asia Road Links Program (CARs-2) is to increase transport connectivity between the Republic of Tajikistan and neighboring countries along priority cross-border road links in Sugd Oblast and to support improvements in road operations and asset management practices. The road sections to be financed under CARs-2 prioritize connectivity between Sugd Oblast in Tajikistan with Batken and Osh Oblasts in the Kyrgyz Republic and Ferghana Oblast in Uzbekistan. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Rehabilitation of priority road sections in the Sugd Oblast:(Cost $51.00 M) Improvement of Road Operations and Asset Management Practices:(Cost $2.00 M) Project Management and Implementation:(Cost $1.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Satisfactory  Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory 1/2/2018 Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) Overall Risk Rating  High  High Implementation Status and Key Decisions Though the progress toward achieving the PDO remains “satisfactory”, the overall project IP is rated as “moderately satisfactory” on an interim basis until several pending issues regarding to project coordination are satisfactorily resolved. There are slight delays under component 1 and 2, in particular (a) slower than expected implementation of civil works; (b) outstanding of officially handing over road parameters measurement equipment, such as road profiler and traffic counters; and (c) low quality of outputs prepared by international individual consultants. These implementation issues are not expected to impact the achievement of the PDO at this stage and corrective measures have been agreed with the client on all issues. The Project Coordinator of the Project Implementation Group (PIG) will closely monitor and coordinate the implementation of all measures as well as regularly inform the Bank on its status. 1/2/2018 Page 2 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  High  High Macroeconomic  --  High  High Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  High  High Environment and Social  --  High  High Stakeholders  --  High  High Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  High  High Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Volume of freight through Guliston/Kyzyl-Bel and Madaniyat/Kairagach, Patar border crossing points (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 359,838.00 0.00 352,731.00 550,000.00 Date 30-Sep-2014 03-Jun-2015 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDPDOTBL  Market accessibility index of Sugd Oblast (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 4.50 -- 4.50 5.00 Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 1/2/2018 Page 3 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) PHINDPDOTBL  Satisfaction of road users (beneficiaries) with the improvements along completed road sections (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- 20.00 90.00 Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDPDOTBL  Approval by MoT and presentation at regional level (CAREC) of a Strategic Plan on weight and axle load control (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 30-Sep-2014 02-Jun-2017 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDPDOTBL  RAMS system is in operation for analysis and planning of road works (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 30-Sep-2014 02-Jun-2017 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators 1/2/2018 Page 4 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) PHINDIRITBL  Road user costs by truck along the project road sections and in project area (US$/veh-km) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.57 -- 0.57 0.47 Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDIRITBL  Equipment for traffic count and road roughness measurement is used for populating data in RAMS (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N -- N Y Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDIRITBL  Long-term Transport Sector Development Strategy is developed and endorsed (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 30-Sep-2014 02-Jun-2017 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDIRITBL  Roads in good and fair condition as a share of total classified roads (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- 0.00 40.00 Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 1/2/2018 Page 5 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) PHINDIRITBL  Size of the total classified network (Kilometers, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 180.00 0.00 0.00 180.00 PHINDIRITBL  Roads rehabilitated, Non-rural (Kilometers, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- 0.00 70.00 Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDIRITBL  Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 2,400,600.00 -- 2,400,600.00 2,650,000.00 Date 30-Sep-2014 -- 01-Dec-2017 15-Jun-2020 PHINDIRITBL  Female beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 1,197,899.00 1,197,899.00 1,197,899.00 1,320,000.00 Overall Comments 1/2/2018 Page 6 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Central Asia Road Links - Tajikistan (P145634) Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed Disbursed P145634 IDA-55930 Effective USD 38.25 38.25 0.00 12.77 24.65 33% P145634 IDA-D0300 Effective USD 6.75 6.75 0.00 6.48 0.00 96% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
