MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, IRRIGATION AND WATER DEVELOPMENT LILONGWE WATER PROJECT PREPARATION ADVANCE CONTROLLING OFFICER'S REPORT FOR THE 9 MONTHS PERIOD ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2017 The Government of Malawi (GoM) successfully implemented the Second National Water Development Project (NWDP II) funded by the World Bank, as part of the National Water Development Programme. Bulk water supply to the city of Lilongwe, through Lilongwe Water Board, has been identified as one of the key consultancy outputs from the NWDP II, and a Feasibility Study was undertaken, followed by a detailed design of the bulk water source, by constructing the Diamphwe Multipurpose Dam and Associated Water Supply Structures to Lilongwe City. The resources for the construction phase will be sourced from the World Bank, African Development Bank, the European Investment Bank and a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement through the Lilongwe Water Programme. During the idealization, conceptualization and identification of the programme, it was noted that there are information gaps to adequately design the programme such that there were no updated water demand figures, no detailed design for distribution network, there was no updated water supply and sanitation Master P lan, and also there was need for the finalization of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the Project. The GoM needs to fast track the subsequent construction of the bulk water source for the city of Lilongwe, considering that the current available water supply has not been able to meet water demand since 2005. To this effect, the GoM and the Worldbank signed a Project Preparation Advance agreement on 4th August 2015 to facilitate studies and other preliminary activities ahead of the construction phase of the proposed Diamphwe Multipurpose Dam and Associated Water Supply Structures to Lilongwe City. The amount of the Project Preparation Advance is US$3 million and has been implemented from August 2015 to March 2017. The major activities undertaken during the year under reporting are: Preparation of Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESIA) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study for Diamphwe Dam and Associated Water Supply Facilities Trainings under capacity building Designs for Treatment Works II Programme design The National Statistical Office, NSO, conducted an examination and analysis of the 2015 population levels in contrast with the 2008 census to as certain growth rates and future forecasting of water demand that were key inputs to the detailed design and water supply distribution systems for the City of Lilongwe up to 2045. The Consultancy for the independent ESIA was successfully concluded and the outcome was disclosed locally and internationally for information and augmentation if necessary. The ESIA outputs had minor adverse impacts, on both fauna and flora so that minimal mitigation measures were recommended. The RAP was also successfully concluded and it was disclosed locally and internationally. The major impacts of the RAP were individual and communal loss of prope1ty in the inundated area, and some cultural sites especially graveyards. All the key players in the Government including the Department of Antiquities, the Department of Lands were ful ly involved in the examination and analysis of mitigation measures that required resettlements and compensations for the property. The PPA was used to faci litate consultations with key stakeholders in provision of sanitation for the City of Lilongwe, especially the Lilongwe City Council, and draft terms of reference were drawn up for assessment and review of the 201 O Sanitation Master Plan for the City of Lilongwe. A Task Force was set up to continue with the preliminary plans that were developed during the PPA period. The PPA was also used to identify a PPP advisor to assist the Government of Malawi to assess the viability of a PPP arrangement that can successfully complement the donor resources in the operation of the Lilongwe Water Programme. The PPA resources were also used to finance a Panel of Experts that were key to augment the evaluation of the designs of the Diamphwe Dam, including the ancillary documents for tendering and overall engineering integrity of the designs.

1. The PPA was used for community mobilization and awareness campaign in the project area to ensure consensus building and understanding by establishing local community committees and utilizing the existing hierarchy from the district councils to traditional authorities, group village headmen and village headmen. The awareness campaign was also extended to all relevant government ministries and a number of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and religious groups that were operating within the project area. The Preparation Advance has been 100% disbursed and whole amount of US$3,000,000 has been utilized and fully documented as the reporting date. All the planned activities have been successfully executed and the project is ready for appraisal.... ~~.~.~~ Erica Maganga Secretary for Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development lq.ob-~l+ Date..... 2

NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE P.O. BOX 30045 CAPITAL CITY LILONGWE 3 MALAWI AUDITOR GENERAL AUDITOR GENERAL'S REPORT TO THE SECRETARY FOR AGRICULTURE, IRRIGATION AND WATER DEVELOPMENT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE LILONGWE WATER PROJECT PREPARATION ADVANCE FOR THE 9 MONTHS PERIOD ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2017 Opinion I have audited the accompanying Statement of Financial Position of the Lilongwe Water Project II Preparation Advance for the 9 months period ended 31 st March, 2017 and related Statement of Receipts and Payments and Notes to the Accounts for the period then ended as set out on pages 5 to 11. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Lilongwe Water Project II Preparation Advance as at 31 st March, 2017 in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), Donor terms of agreement and financial provisions. Basis for Opinion I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAis). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor 's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the Lilongwe Water Project and the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development in accordance with the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions 30 - Code of ethics (ISSAI 30) as promulgated by the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with th ese requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgment, were of most significance in my audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of my audit of the Consolidated Annual Appropriation Accounts as a whole, and in forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 4

I have determined that there is no need to communicate key audit matters in my report due the nature of the audited entity. I The Lilongwe Water Project Management's Responsibility for the Project's Financial Statements The Lilongwe Water Project Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting, Donor term s of agreement and financial provisions, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Project's Financial Statements My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's repo1i that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAis) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Project's Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISSAis, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. I communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit. 5

I also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, I determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. I describe these matters in my auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in my report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication The engagement auditor on the audit resulting int : dependent Auditor General 's report is: ' Signature~..
