However, disbursement is expected to soon catch up with projections because a number of contracts have been signed, some are about to be signed and quite a few are under implementation. A total of nearly 40 contracts (valued at US$12.66 million) have been awarded within the last six months and a number of them are under implementation including: Land Bill and Land Use Planning Bill, streamlining of business processes through re-engineering and automation of the records management, production of Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR10161 improved maps and spatial data (i.e. base maps and establishment of the geodetic reference network), preparation of land use plans, human resources development and communication and public outreach. Procurement of a couple of other contracts is at advanced stages and soon these contracts will also be signed and work will commence. Among the outcome indicators, the project has made considerable progress in the registration of land titles, with over 11,000 land transactions registered against an annual target of 4,000 transactions. Public Disclosure Copy Due to the lag in disbursement (at 12.5%, compared to the projection of 25% by mid this year), implementation progress is downgraded to Moderately unsatisfactory. The team will closely follow-up the implementation of the agreed strategies (such as direct payments for big contracts and close follow-up with implementing Agencies) to ensure that implementation progress is brought back to Satisfactory within the next six months.
