The Project has made a considerable advance in its implementation since the last supervision mission in April 2012 and continues be on its track to meet the development objectives. Remaining Phase 1 investment was contracted out consistent with the timeline agreed during the last mission. Building rehabilitation in Punta Gorda was completed in September 2012, and the Phase 1 street and market rehabilitation works for seven participating municipalities are under implementation and scheduled for completion in March 2013 (with an exception of town market rehabilitation in Dangriga to be completed by July 2013). As of now, the project helped to rehabilitate 1.3 kilometers of roads, improve 5 intersections and install 26 traffic signs directly benefiting 32,000 people. In addition, 6 town councils are now staffed with qualified accountants and all seven submit monthly financial reports. The team found the quality of construction generally satisfactory during the site visit to the seven town councils and was Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR9155 able to hear from project's beneficiaries about the positive impact that the project brings to the quality of life. The PIU commenced a public consultation process to prioritize Phase 2 investment and sub-project appraisal will be finalized in the first half of 2013 in order to launch Phase 2 investment in the first quarter of 2014. The team emphasized that the SIF will need to carry out sub-project appraisals detailed in the operations manual after the public consultation stage. It also emphasized that Phase 2 should include only a set of investments that would not require additional follow-up investments and that are complete and stand-alone as they are from a technical point of view. Public Disclosure Copy As for the TA component, revenue enhancement TA continues to proceed satisfactorily and demonstrating tangible results and impact on the ground. The mission was informed that a two-day workshop on revenue enhancement took place in Placencia end Nov, 2012. All the Mayors as well as national government representatives actively participated in the workshop that resulted in fruitful discussion. The workshop served as an excellent venue to share the experiences of respective TCs in revenue enhancement efforts. It highlighted the importance of political commitment for revenue enhancement, enforcement, as well as public awareness and education. The mission noted that the remaining four TAs - financial management, asset maintenance plan, municipal growth plan, and traffic management - will be mobilized in January-February, 2013. The Bank team and SIF reviewed the current eligibility criteria for 2nd phase investment and made a few adjustments to some criteria (without making them too lax), especially considering that some of the TA activities directly supporting the eligibility criteria are just being mobilized. As of December 2012, the Project has disbursed about US$ 4.1 million, equivalent to approx. 27% of the loan amount. Another US$ 2.2 million has been committed for the implementation of Phase 1 sub-projects. Current disbursement and commitment represent 42% of the total loan. The Mid-Term Review of the Project will take place during the next supervision mission around May 2013.
