Following the Government’s request of June 26, 2019 (and a follow-up confirmation letter of September 16, 2019), the Project has been restructured to (a) cancel $50 million equivalent and (b) extend the closing date to June 15, 2022. The legal amendment was effective as of November 13, 2019. The Development Project Proforma (DPP) is currently being revised to update (a) closing date extension; (b) readjustment of costs following the partial cancellation, and (c) other administrative revisions based on implementation experience. The revised DPP is expected to be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval by January 5, 2020. 2. The closing date extension will enable the Project to continue enrollment across all 43 upazilas as originally designed, targeting up to 600,000 poor households, and allow for full disbursement of remaining Project funds. Since the rollout of the program in September 2018, 1/2/2020 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Income Support Program for the Poorest (P146520) 250,594 beneficiaries have been enrolled across 176 unions in 21 upazilas with transfers amounting to US$ 12.3 million paid out against utilization of child development services. With enrollment currently expected to be completed across all locations by September 2020, this will allow all beneficiaries to avail services for at least 12 months. 3. Beneficiary attendance remains strong, with over 80 percent complying with regular co-responsibilities. There continues to be strong effort to mobilize beneficiaries to attend sessions, as well as recognition on the part of beneficiaries on the value of utilizing the services.
