Capacity building for the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) continued to be carried out under various components aiming to strengthen technical knowledge in sector planning and management. Institutional oversight 10/5/2019 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report TA for Capacity Development in Hydropower and Mining Sector (P109736) to better govern the hydropower and mining sectors is continuing to improve. All critical technical assistance packages are under implementation – most of which have been completed while a few are near completion – to develop the tools and management systems to enhance MEM’s oversight capacity. Remaining support to the National Emergency Dam Safety Inspection (NEDSI) is under implementation and is still on-going. Restructuring and Closing Date Extension: It has been agreed between the MEM, MOF and the Bank team to extend the HMTA closing date extension by 12 months until September 30, 2020 to use the remaining available funds (approximately USD 220,000) to continue supporting the National Emergency Dam Safety Inspection (NEDSI) implementation. The project restructuring was completed on September 27, 2019.
