Public Disclosure Copy Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating -- Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Government of Ethiopia and Development Partners (DPs) held a Joint Review and Implementation Support (JRIS) mission and Joint Budget and Aid Review (JBAR) for the Promoting Basic Services (PBS) Phase III Program in Addis Ababa from April 27-30, 2015. During these discussions the Government noted that PBS has been instrumental to poverty reduction, economic growth, and acceleration of attainment of the Growth & Transformation Plan (GTP) targets and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through the delivery of quality basic services and improving accountability at the grassroots level. In the course of deliberations, key issues noted included (I) the importance for the Government to increase resource flows at subnational level through enhancing domestic resource mobilization. In this context, the need to better understand and enhance the role of community contributions was also raised (ii) the need to improve budget utilization in Sub Program B, in particular concerning the capacity efforts on Managing for Results (iii) the need for continuous effort on audit follow-up and corrective measures (iv) the evident progress made in citizen engagement activities and the need to further strengthen the institutionalization of these efforts - in particular those around social accountability. The JRIS included a presentation on safeguard and risk management issues, and enabled a discussion of these concerns with regional stakeholders. The Inspection Panel investigation concluded in February 2015 and a Management Action plan has been in operation since to address main areas of concern. Although the panel concluded that Bank support had not caused harm, suggestions were made to enhance supervision going forward. The key commitments relating to PBS 3 that were made by Bank Management and agreed with the Board and Panel were as follows (i) Improving risk assessment during implementation through strengthening environmental and social safeguards, access to grievance redress, increasing opportunities for citizen s engagement and promoting quality results and data (ii) Improving financial management and analysis by strengthening public financing management and ongoing reform efforts. (iii) Addressing PBS and CDP linkages (in combination with ongoing PBS 3 and portfolio level activities) by strengthening environmental and social safeguard capacities, including training to apply the CDP Screening Tool (iv) Promoting agriculture and livelihoods (in combination with ongoing portfolio level activities), through financing of block grants, support of analytical activities and data quality, plus broader collaborative support with other Bank programs addressing livelihoods in Gambella and other Developing Regional States. The Mid Term Review of PBS 3 has been finalized. The MTR reported on generally positive implementation progress and identified some important recommendations going forward i.e.; (I) enhancing the focus of PBS 3 on capacity building (ii) supporting efforts to promote sustainability of service delivery efforts (iii) strengthening risk and safeguards management capacity (iv) ensuring donor coordination and harmonization (v) strengthening evidence for decision making and (vi) ensuring close integration wit the forthcoming PforR on Enhancing Shared Prosperity through Equitable Access. A number of specific recommendations were also provided for individual program components. Page 2 of 12
