Key Decisions Regarding Implementation A Loan Amendment was prepared and approved to empower the Ministry of Social Security as an authorized representative of the Borrower for disbursements under the loan (Article 2.02 of the Loan Agreement). The client made a separate request to alter some project activities and reallocate money among expenditure categories (while leaving the Project Development Objective unchanged). However, in light of the project's poor performance history (no disbursements as of December 2010) the proposed Amendment was not approved. The Bank expects the project to close as scheduled in June 2011. Restructuring History Level two Approved on 20-Jan-2011 Related Projects There are no related projects. Page 5 of 5
