This was discussed and agreed with the Bank during the supervision mission early 2017. A Comments: draft request letter has been submitted by MEW to the Ministry of Finance, but has not yet been forwarded to the Bank. MEW is using resources to increase their work on much needed dam safety inspections of its ageing infrastructure, hence actual indicator performance is higher than the initial target. The end target will be revised once restructuring will be processed.
