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 Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Both Progress towards achievement of PDO and Overall Implementation Progress remain Moderately Satisfactory (MS), based on the continued progress in project implementation since the last Implementation Status Report dated February 2018. Progress includes an increase in the number of households surveyed (PDO level indicator) from 70,000 households (February 2018) to 143,000 households and the preparation and the submission, in April 2018, of the preliminary report on the targeting work for the first model and the presentation on the operational process to the restricted council of ministers. It is also worth noting that the disbursement rate increased from 48% in February 2018 to 65%. The acceleration of the procurement processes led to the signing of several large contracts, resulting in an increase in the total amount of all contracts already awarded, 8/7/2018 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DTF: Tunisia Social Protection Reforms Support Project (P144674) represent nearly 80% of total grant funds (compared to 50% in February 2018). In light of this progress, the procurement rating is upgraded from Moderately Unsatisfactory to MS. The financial management remains MS, while an audit report for 2017 is overdue hence needs to be submitted without further delay. While the overall progress is noticeable, project implementation remains slower than anticipated, given the recurrent delays. As a result, it seems that two important activities are no longer implementable under this project. One is the management of the information system of the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the other is the household survey to evaluate the performance of the different targeting models with the National Institute of Statistics (INS). During the last mission in July 2018, it was discussed and agreed that the best alternative to utilize fully the remaining grant proceeds would be to reallocate the grant funds to speed up the social survey to collect socio-economic information of social safety net beneficiaries.
