No PHRPDODEL Components Name Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Moderately Unsatisfactory  Moderately Unsatisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Grant agreement was signed on September 7, 2017 and effectiveness was declared on December 6, 2017. To bolster the capacity of the existing Project Management Unit (PMU), the PMU in the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS) has hired one consultant (Procurement Officer) and is in process of hiring an Financial Officer . Implementation delays are linked to the administrative changes in the project management following the appointment of a new Minister. Administrative and technical changes have been introduced by the new team. This, in addition to the low capacity of the previous PMU, has caused some delays which are currently resolved with the new Minister to speed up implementation. The Bank team is working closely with MoYS to resolve these implementation delays 6/19/2019 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Promoting the Inclusion of Conflict-Affected Iraqi Youth (P161654) Risks Overall Risk Rating Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL Percentage increase in reported income of young people supported by project entrepreneurship activities (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 20.00 Date 18-Dec-2017 -- -- 28-May-2020 PHINDPDOTBL Percentage of youth beneficiaries reporting that the project has contributed towards improved community cohesion and tolerance (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 70.00 Date 18-Dec-2017 -- -- 28-May-2020 PHINDPDOTBL Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 3,000.00 Date 18-Dec-2017 -- -- 28-May-2020 6/19/2019 Page 2 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Promoting the Inclusion of Conflict-Affected Iraqi Youth (P161654) PHINDPDOTBL Female beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 50.00 PHINDPDOTBL IDP Beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 30.00 Date 18-Dec-2017 -- -- 28-May-2020 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators PHINDIRITBL Number of youth business enterprises supported (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 450.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 6/19/2019 Page 3 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Promoting the Inclusion of Conflict-Affected Iraqi Youth (P161654) PHINDIRITBL Number of part time or full time jobs created per youth business enterprise (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 1.20 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 PHINDIRITBL Number of youth attributing increased income to project activities (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 400.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 PHINDIRITBL Number of enterprises supported that exist 1 year after grant disbursement (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 250.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 PHINDIRITBL Number of youth participating in project training activities (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 3,000.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 6/19/2019 Page 4 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Promoting the Inclusion of Conflict-Affected Iraqi Youth (P161654) PHINDIRITBL Number of youth-led community development sub-projects completed (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 100.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 PHINDIRITBL Number of youth reporting increased access to decision-making at the local level (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 1,800.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 PHINDIRITBL Number of people benefitting from youth-led community development sub-projects (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 -- -- 5,000.00 Date 23-Mar-2017 -- -- 29-May-2020 Overall Comments Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed Disbursed P161654 TF-A5365 Effective USD 2.75 2.75 0.00 0.26 2.49 10% Key Dates (by loan) 6/19/2019 Page 5 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Promoting the Inclusion of Conflict-Affected Iraqi Youth (P161654) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
