The program has the overall objective to increase transport connectivity between neighboring countries in Central Asia along priority cross-border road links whilst supporting improvements in road operations and maintenance practices. The project development objective (PDO) of the First Phase of the Central Asia Road Links Program (CARs-1) is to increase transport connectivity between the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan along priority cross-border road links in Batken Oblast whilst supporting improvements in road operations and maintenance practices. The road sections to be financed under CARs-1 prioritize connectivity between the Osh and BatkenOblast in the Kyrgyz Republic and Sugd Oblast in Tajikistan as they build lateral spurs from the Osh-Isfana axis to the Tajik border. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

According to the latest updates, all major works (asphalt) have been completed at Lot 1 and some minor works including roadside, road marking works, etc., remaining. These works will be completed before the newly extended deadline November 30, 2018. On weigh-in-motion scales, 2 posts out of 5 have been installed and operated for a year already (Kemin and Sosnovska). Of remaining 3 posts, 2 have been installed and testing is ongoing (Karatai and Jany-Aryk), and the remaining 1 post has been installed but not functional yet (Kok-Talaa). With an approaching closing date of the project (April 30, 2019) all parties of the project shall mobilize and work to complete the works before the closing date at the high quality. 10/15/2018 Page 2 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report First Phase of the Central Asia Road Links Program (P132270) 10/15/2018 Page 3 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report First Phase of the Central Asia Road Links Program (P132270) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- High High Macroeconomic -- Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies -- Substantial Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program -- Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability -- Substantial Substantial Fiduciary -- Substantial Substantial Environment and Social -- Moderate Substantial Stakeholders -- Moderate Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall -- Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Increase transport connectivity between Kyrgyz Republic & Tajikistan along cross-border in Batken Ob IN00552852 ►Volume of freight through Kyzyl-Bel/Guliston and Kairagach/Madaniyat border crossing points (Tones/year, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 500,000.00 400,000.00 520,000.00 550,000.00 Date 01-Nov-2013 21-Dec-2017 30-Jun-2018 30-Apr-2019 IN00552854 ►Market accessibility index of Batken Oblast (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 4.60 4.60 4.60 5.50 Date 01-Nov-2013 21-Dec-2017 30-Jun-2018 30-Apr-2019 IN00552856 10/15/2018 Page 4 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report First Phase of the Central Asia Road Links Program (P132270) ►Strategic Plan on transport control has been discussed at the regional level (CAREC) and approved by MOTC (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value No No No Yes Date 01-Nov-2013 21-Dec-2017 30-Jun-2018 30-Apr-2019 The draft strategy was presented and discussed at regional level in Tajikistan in 2018.
