Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Satisfactory  Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project´s implementation took off in August 2016, as soon as Bank clearance for single source procurement of GIZ was granted. The project has since progressively been advancing towards the achievement of the PDO. To date, the project has disbursed a total amount of US$598,.412.06 (39% of the grant amount). Under component 1, all 201 candidates have been interviewed and 119 have been selected for the program (27% of the selected candidates are 9/29/2017 Page 1 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth (P150064) women). The program has provided language training cultural awareness sessions to a total 105 candidates. The German professional associations came to Morocco to interview the students and place them in specific positions in hotels and restaurants, according to their skills and interests. The students finished their training in July 2017 and departed for Germany in August 2017. All students have started their apprenticeships. Under component 2, GIZ, ANAPEC and the Moroccan Chamber of Commerce are following a strategy to build a network between the main professional associations in Germany (German Chambers of Commerce) and ANAPEC, and have started exploring other possibilities of matching candidates with jobs in Germany that are available in other professional sectors with a current high demand (IT, health). This is the beginning of setting up a sustainable collaboration mechanism among agencies of the two countries, while strengthening the capacity and readiness of institutions in Morocco to allow this pilot experience to be replicated on a larger scale and in other sectors. A program destined to build ANAPEC´s capacity has been put into place by GIZ and ANAPEC, and 4 missions are planned between Mid-October and February 2018 to Germany to train ANAPEC´s officials in all processes concerning German labor market and immigration. Under component 3, the Bank along with GIZ and ANAPEC are setting up a plan of activities to capture lessons during implementation which can help scale up the pilot in the near future. 9/29/2017 Page 2 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth (P150064) 9/29/2017 Page 3 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth (P150064) Risks Overall Risk Rating Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Overall  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL Number of Beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 105.00 105.00 90.00 Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 PHINDPDOTBL Morocco, through ANAPEC, has established stronger pre-selection procedures and pre-departure training modules for candidates seeking overseas employment (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N Y Y Y Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 9/29/2017 Page 4 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth (P150064) PHINDPDOTBL A sustainable public-private partnership between ANAPEC, GIZ, and the German employers’ representatives is established and functioning in practice to scale up and replicate the pilot initiative (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N Y Y Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 PHINDPDOTBL Percentage of German employers participating in the pilot and willing to hire again from Morocco (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 PHINDPDOTBL A regional model of good practice is developed and shared through the World Bank and other networks (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N N Y Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators 9/29/2017 Page 5 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth (P150064) PHINDIRITBL Pre-selection manual which incorporates feedback from project stakeholders is developed and aligned with the established selection principles and international good practice (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N Y Y Y Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 PHINDIRITBL Candidate pre-selection completed in line with good practice and led jointly by private and public sector stakeholders from destination countries (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 100.00 100.00 90.00 Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 PHINDIRITBL Pre-selection interviews held in Morocco, led by ANAPEC and destination country interviewers (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N Y Y Y Date 14-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 PHINDIRITBL Pre-departure and orientation training, including language and intercultural training, tailored to the industry and specifities of work and daily life at the destination, designed and implemented (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N N Y Y Date 15-Apr-2015 10-Feb-2017 27-Sep-2017 31-Oct-2018 9/29/2017 Page 6 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Accessing Overseas Employment Opportunities for Moroccan Youth (P150064) PHINDIRITBL Module on expectation management, incorporating input from destination country stakeholders and return immigrants or diaspora, designed by ANAPEC and its partner agencies delivered.
