The Grant agreement was signed on April 11, 2014. Implementation of the IDA and Trust Fund financed projects have been greatly affected by the situation prevailing in Yemen since January 19, 2015. As a precautionary measure, the Bank suspended all missions to Yemen as of January 23, 2015, closed the Sana’a office as of February 18th. The power struggle between Houthi forces and those loyal to President Hadi further escalated in March 2015 amid deepening political tensions and an uptick in sectarian violence. Following the Houthi advance towards crucial installations in Taiz and Aden, a coalition of ten countries, led by Saudi Arabia, launched a military campaign on March, 26, 2015, with airstrikes aimed at stopping the Houthis from taking more territory. In response to further deterioration of the security environment, on March 26, 2015, management initiated the next level of security plans and arrangements for remaining Sana’a-based staff, including staff relocation within Yemen or evacuation to Cairo. The current political/security situation in Yemen has greatly affected the implementation of the projects, and our portfolio more generally. On February 10, the Bank initiated an assessment under OP7.30 on Bank’s “Dealings with de facto Governments”, which concluded that the security situation had deteriorated to the degree that the Bank was unable to exercise effective management over its projects. Specifically, the Bank’s ability to communicate and coordinate with government counterparts has declined significantly; government counterparts cannot perform their obligations as agreed under the relevant legal agreements; project implementation areas are not accessible; the security environment is inadequate for Bank presence and supervision, making fiduciary monitoring and oversight extremely difficult. In light of this assessment, and pursuant to the legal agreements of IDA credits and grants, and trust fund grants, read together with the relevant provisions of the applicable General Conditions, and Standard Conditions, the Bank has suspended disbursements under the Yemen portfolio, including all IDA Credits and Grants administered under the Trust Funds as of March 11, 2015. The situation also adversely impacted the implementation progress of this project. Specifically, the bid documents for supply and installation of the wind farm were issued in February in 2015, but had to be cancelled. It is not possible to start the technical assistance component as it is extremely unlikely that any consultant would be able to visit the country and participate in the bidding process under the prevailing adverse conditions. The Republic of Yemen is still in the midst of a complex conflict that is causing massive physical damage, devastating the economy, causing a humanitarian crisis, and creating space for expanded operations of radical groups. The level of uncertainty is extremely high and will remain so for the foreseeable future. The country is still in conflict, and—although peace talks are ongoing—the security and political difficulties on the ground will remain substantial. The situation during the last one year has been practically the same and the Bank had to continue with the status of project's suspension. 6/29/2016 Page 2 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public
