Almost 1/3 of the loan proceeds have been committed, including the mobilization of the contractor for the Meghri Gravity Scheme. Four consultancies are also currently in place which are in the process of preparing the detailed documentation (e.g. design and bidding documents, environment and social assessments) for the next set of investments (e.g. Geghardalitch, Kaghtsrashen, and several diversion canals). This preparatory work is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year/early next year. Other procurements in process/concluded include a contract to enhance Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR15451 the GIS database for the water users associations, a data acquisition and field-level water monitoring system, and a consultancy to undertake a technical audit of the WUAs/WSAs. Procurement, financial management, and compliance with environmental and social safeguards at this stage is satisfactory.
