Yes No losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Technical Assistance Facility for Preparation and Implementation of Capacity Building Programs Building Human Resources Civil Service Training Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status Overview Initial activities under the project are progressing satisfactorily since the first ISR. The implementing partners have demonstrated meaningful progress in operationalizing the project and taking fundamental steps to lay the foundation for progress on intermediate results indicators and the overall Project Development Objective (PDOs). The IARCSC and MoF Page 1 of 5

2 operational relations have become better institutionalized. The Steering Committee is fully operational and well supported by its secretariat. There is progress in almost all aspects of implementation within the IARCSC. Against this positive trend, there are some specific areas that need to be supported in order to take the program to its next phase of implementation. With the completion of the related actions, the CBR startup implementation phase will have been successfully concluded. It should be noted that given the initial slow start on project implementation, these positive steps have also been slow to result in progress on most of the project indicators, with measurable progress made on at least one indicator (SMG positions filled). Recruitment into common function senior management positions has also commenced. Importantly, line ministries are beginning to apply to the facility, but ministries will need to have begun implementing their CBR Programs for there to be progress on the majority of indicators. Taking into account the trend and the activities, the mission has determined that the project should be rated Moderately Satisfactory for Implementation Progress and Moderately Satisfactory in terms of achievement of PDOs. To continue this trend, the first immediate step is for Government to convene the Advisory Group to work with Tier 3 candidate ministries to complete their CBR Program proposals. The second immediate step is for the Government to develop the first common function group professional cadre. The Bank has been requested to provide additional technical support in both these areas.
