The Provincial Governors made considerable efforts to assure payment of about USD 100,000 to 262 project affected persons (not financed by the project), to allow works to start. Elaboration of Local Development Plans is well advanced and should allow project cities to prioritize remaining investment funds under Component 1 (Primary Infrastructure, US$50 million). However, capacity-building activities have been delayed due to the lack of skills in the Project Unit. The Capacity Building Team has carried out an initial mission to all cities and developed a capacity support plan. The first performance assessment of cities was completed in September and results indicate that two cities meet the performance criteria to access 50 percent of indicative performance- based investments for 2015. This is below the target of having at least two cities qualify for full indicative investment funds. It has been agreed that the Project Unit should develop a communications strategy and the Capacity Building Team should step up its efforts to help cities improve performance Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Report No: ISR16285 Locations Country First Administrative Division Location Planned Actual CD Not Entered Kindu Public Disclosure Copy CD Not Entered Kalemie CD Not Entered Bukavu CD Not Entered Mbandaka CD Not Entered Matadi CD Not Entered Kikwit Results Project Development Objective Indicators Indicator Name Core Unit of Measure Baseline Current End Target Cities qualifying for performance-based Number Value 0.00 0.00 5.00 investment fund Date 31-Jul-2013 24-Sep-2014 31-Jul-2019 Comments First assessment completed Target is 5 out of 6 cities. with delay but draft report indicates no cities will receive their full performance-based funds this year, based on applicable criteria (target FY14: two cities).
