This is the sixth Progress Report to the Board of Executive Directors (the Board) on implementation of the Management Action Plan (MAP) in response to the Inspection Panel Investigation Report No. 44977-UG on the Private Power Generation (Bujagali) Project. The main objective of the Project is to provide least-cost power generation capacity to eliminate power shortages in a country with serious power supply issues. The Project provides stable baseload power, which is needed to grow the economy and expand access to electricity. ii. The Project consists of a construction of the 250 MW run-of-the-river Bujagali hydropower station on the Nile River, located eight kilometers downstream of the existing Nalubaale/Kiira hydropower complex; a 220 kV double circuit transmission line (Bujagali- Kawanda), funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA); a 220 kV double circuit line from Kawanda to Mutundwe; and a 132 kV double circuit line connecting Bujagali, Nalubaale, and Tororo. The International Development Association (IDA) provided a Partial Risk Guarantee of US$115 million for the Project, which was approved on April 26, 2007. The power plant was fully commissioned on August 1, 2012, which also establishes the Project’s closing date per Bank instructions on guarantees. iii. The Inspection Panel submitted its Investigation Report to the Board on August 29, 2008. On November 7, 2008, Management submitted its Report and Recommendation, along with a detailed MAP, which included strengthening institutional capacity of the various authorities responsible for the Project; social assessment and mitigation measures, including updating of the socio-economic baseline, follow up on programs to address vulnerable groups and sharing of Project benefits; measures to address physical cultural resources, including chance find procedures; and environmental assessment and mitigation measures. iv. The MAP has been fully implemented except for the issuance of two outstanding land titles. Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), the implementing agency, is closely following up on this. Once the two pending land titles are issued, Management will submit a final progress report to the Board of Executive Directors. iv Sixth Progress Report on the Implementation of Management’s Action Plan in Response to the Inspection Panel Investigation Report on the Uganda Private Power Generation (Bujagali) Project I. INTRODUCTION 1. This is the Sixth Progress Report to the Board of Executive Directors on implementation of the Management Action Plan (MAP) in response to the Inspection Panel Investigation Report No. 44977-UG on the Uganda Private Power Generation (Bujagali) Project (“the Project�). The Project consists of a construction of the 250 MW run-of-the-river Bujagali hydropower station on the Nile River, located eight kilometers downstream of the existing Nalubaale/Kiira hydropower complex; a 220 kV double circuit transmission line (Bujagali-Kawanda), funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA); a 220 kV double circuit line from Kawanda to Mutundwe; and a 132 kV double circuit line connecting Bujagali, Nalubaale, and Tororo. The International Development Association (IDA) provided a Partial Risk Guarantee of US$115 million for the Project, which was approved on April 26, 2007. The power plant was fully commissioned on August 1, 2012, which also establishes the Project’s closing date per Bank instructions on guarantees.1 2. The hydropower plant has adequate reservoir capacity to run the plant for about 10 hours at peak output without inflow, an intake powerhouse complex, and an earth filled dam with a height of about 30 meters, together with a spillway and other associated works. The Project’s main objective is to provide least-cost power generation capacity to eliminate power shortages in a country with serious power supply issues. The Project provides stable baseload power, which is needed to grow the economy and expand access to electricity. 3. On March 7, 2007, the Inspection Panel registered a Request for Inspection from the Ugandan National Association of Professional Environmentalists (NAPE) and others alleging various environmental, social and cultural harms as a result of the Project. Management responded to the Request on April 5, 2007. Following Board approval of the Panel’s Recommendation on May 18, 2007, the Inspection Panel undertook to investigate the allegations. 4. The Inspection Panel submitted its Investigation Report No. 44977-UG on the Project to the Board of Executive Directors on August 29, 2008. On November 7, 2008, Management submitted its Report and Recommendation (MRR), including a detailed MAP developed in response to the Inspection Panel’s findings. On December 4, 2008, the Executive Directors considered both reports and approved the MAP proposed by Management. 5. Implementation of the actions contained in the MAP started in 2008 and have been monitored continuously. The completed activities, as outlined in Annex 1 of the MAP, have been periodically assessed through the: (i) Quarterly Monitoring and Evaluation Reports prepared by 1 According to Bank Policy governing Project-Based Guarantees, completion for a guarantee operation coincides with the commercial operations date. -1- Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), the implementing agency; (ii) Reports of the Joint Lenders’2 Supervision Missions (semi-annual missions were undertaken until commissioning of the plant in August 2012, and less frequent missions thereafter); (iii) Annual Reviews by the Independent Panel of Experts (PoE); and (iv) National Multi-stakeholder Bujagali Environmental Monitoring Committee Reports. 6. The MAP has been fully implemented except for the issuance of two outstanding land titles. Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), the implementing agency, is closely following up on this. Once the two pending land titles are issued, Management will submit a final progress report to the Board of Executive Directors. II. PROJECT STATUS 7. Project Implementation. The Project was commissioned in August 2012, following delays due to unexpected geological conditions and repairs necessitated by defects in the electromechanical equipment. By July 2013, all civil and electromechanical works were completed. Subsequently, by the end of October 2014, the contractor demobilized from the Project site and removed all equipment. All temporary works were removed and the ground returned to its original graded condition. 8. Transmission Lines. Construction of transmission lines and substation works for power evacuation was completed in a timely manner on November 30, 2011. The Bujagali power plant has been evacuating power into the grid without any hindrances since its commissioning in August 2012. The transmission lines, which were constructed at 220 kV were initially energized and operated at 132 kV. The associated 132 kV Bujagali substation is currently being upgraded to 220 kV through savings realized from the AfDB/JICA transmission line project. All equipment has been installed; pending activities include modification and integration of existing secondary systems into the new systems. Final conversion to 220 kV will be completed following commissioning of the Bank-supported Bujagali-Kawanda 220 kV line bays (at Bujagali) and completion of the 220 kV upgrade works at Kawanda substation in 2018. 9. Additional Complaints Related to the Project. In November 2014, a civil suit was filed in the High Court of Uganda against BEL for damaging house structures due to blasting operations. The civil suit was filed on behalf of residents outside the 1.8 kilometer blasting radius who were not compensated under a mediated settlement. BEL filed its defense against the case on January 13, 2015. On December 21, 2015, the Court directed the Plaintiffs to advertise the lawsuit in the mainstream national newspapers within 21 days and to produce a valuation report on which they intended to rely in the suit. The suit is being followed by BEL’s legal representative, and the company is keeping the Project Joint Lenders informed of the process. The Bank will participate in the Joint Lenders’ missions to monitor the situation. The next Joint Lenders’ mission was scheduled for January 2017 but has been postponed until current discussions on changes to BEL’s shareholding structure are concluded. 2 Participating financial institutions. -2- 10. On September 6 and September 20, 2016, the Inspection Panel registered new Requests for Inspection concerning the Project. The Requests were submitted by residents living in or close to the Kalagala Falls Site and allege that impacts from the Isimba hydropower plant (HPP, not financed by the Bank) which is being constructed downstream of the Bujagali HPP, will adversely affect them. 11. A class action suit has been filed in court against the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Ltd. for additional compensation to 557 people who previously received compensation for loss of land to the transmission line. The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman of the International Finance Corporation is mediating an out-of-court settlement of this dispute. III. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN 12.

The paragraphs below provide information on the progress of activities that were outstanding in the last progress report. Sustainable Management Plan 14. The GoU is supporting SMP implementation with an annual budget of UGX 400 million and the Bank’s Water Management and Development Project (WMDP) is financing the implementation of specific forestation related activities that are part of the SMP through a US$4.2 million loan under the WMDP. Based on the findings of the WMDP Implementation Support Mission of October 2016, procurement of a service provider for demarcation and maintenance of 350 km of live boundary markers of five central forest reserves in Mabira is delayed, pending confirmation of funds. The funding gap of US$180,000 needed for this activity depends on reallocation of funds from the ongoing boundary surveying and demarcation exercise using pillars. To date, 2,400 pillars for demarcation of five central forest reserves have been supplied and seedlings for restoration planting of 1,500 ha of degraded forest land have been raised ready for planting. Stakeholder consultations are underway to proceed with the works of demarcation and restoration planting. The Action under the MAP to support the preparation of the SMP has been completed with the preparation of the SMP. Implementation of the SMP by the Government is ongoing and the Bank will continue to monitor implementation of those SMP components that are relevant to the WMDP. Electrification Activities 15. The BEL-assisted community infrastructure services provided for electrification in Project affected rural areas. As planned, this included electrification of the Naminya Resettlement Area and nine villages – Kikubamutwe, Malindi, Buloba, Naminya-Kiira, and Nankwanga on the west side and Bujagali, Ivunamba, Kyabirwa, and Namizzi on the east side of the river. BEL reported that the third and last phase of the network expansion supported under the Project was completed in 2015. Using cost savings, BEL commenced the construction of additional distribution lines, beyond the initial commitment, and these were completed in January 2017. All electricity distribution system infrastructure built as part of the Project will be owned by the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited and operated by Umeme Limited. -5- 16. Household connections. As of November 2016, the overall connection is at 575 households, exceeding the minimum target number of connections, which was set at 500.3 For the Naminya Resettlement Area, 31 connections were made (24 households of displaced people, 4 households of vulnerable people, 1 health center, and 2 health center staff houses). The connection process has now been completed. Supplemental Action Plan4 17. The status of actions under the supplemental action plan endorsed by the Board in December 2008 is as follows: Action Status  Identification and surveying of the remaining unallocated plots within the original Naminya village and transfer of these unallocated plots to the original relocated Project affected people.  Distribution of four unallocated houses to four households identified by the representatives of the community as the most vulnerable in Naminya. There were eight These actions have all been completed. additional unallocated houses and plots which, in consultation with representatives of the community, were to be donated to local schools and used for staff housing.  Upon consultation with households identified by the community as most vulnerable, BEL was to implement a program, including skills training or other assistance, similar to that identified for the informal tourism operators.  The outstanding land titles (three) are to be In Progress issued by the Mukono Land Office. One of the three land titles that were outstanding at the time of the Fifth Progress Report has been issued; the second title is now in the Mukono Land Office with the land registrar for issuance, and the third is in the Entebbe Land Office for production of the site map and will be submitted to the local land 3 The Financing Agreement between the Agence Française de Développement and BEL stipulates the minimum target number of connections at 500. The rural electrification program is deemed completed once this number of connections is achieved. 4 The Resettlement Action Plan completion report submitted in May 2013 identified a few actions that were outstanding. Accordingly, BEL prepared a supplemental action plan which was reflected in the fourth progress report and the Bank continued to review implementation of this supplemental action plan as part of the MAP progress review. -6- registrar for issuance. BEL will continue to follow up on a regular basis until these titles are issued. Recent Developments 18. Bujagali Indemnity Agreement (IA) and Isimba Hydropower Project. The IA (2007) requires the GoU to set aside a defined site at Kalagala Falls to protect its natural habitat and environmental and spiritual values. Under the IA, any tourism development at the Kalagala Falls Site must be carried out in a manner acceptable to IDA and any power generation development that could adversely affect Uganda’s ability to maintain the Kalagala Falls Site would require the agreement of IDA. 19. The GoU is developing the Isimba HPP, a 183.2 MW run-of-the-river project located about 36 km downstream of the Bujagali hydropower plant on the Nile River. 5 The plant is expected to generate 1,039 GWh per year. The maximum height of the dam structure is 36.9 m. The reservoir surface area is 19.4 square kilometers and its volume is 60.8 million cubic meters. The reservoir, when full, will extend some 18 km upstream; it will not reach the Kalagala Falls, but it is expected to flood about 4.5 km of the Nile River within the Kalagala Falls Site. In addition to the power plant, the project includes construction of a 42-km, 132-kV double circuit line between the Isimba HPP site and the Bujagali substation. 20. The Isimba HPP is not supported by any part of the World Bank Group. It is financed by the GoU (15 percent) and a concessional loan from the Export-Import Bank of China (85 percent). Project construction has been contracted to China International Water & Electric Corporation, under an EPC contract in the amount of US$567.7 million. Construction started in April 2015 and is to be completed in August 2018, with the first turbine coming on line in April 2018. The construction is about 45 percent complete at this time. 21. The GoU has shared the feasibility studies and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) prepared for the Isimba HPP, which the Bank has reviewed. As noted above, the current design of the Isimba HPP requires a reservoir that will inundate a portion of the Nile River, which stretches into the Kalagala Falls Site, including a number of rapids that are located in that section of the river. In this context, Management has engaged continuously with the GoU to underscore the importance of complying with the IA. The GoU has responded by reiterating its commitment to the IA, and is currently preparing an Addendum to the Isimba HPP ESIA (ESIA Addendum) with funding provided through the IDA Energy for Rural Transformation Phase III Project. The ESIA Addendum will assess specific impacts of the Isimba HPP on the Kalagala Falls Site. 22. The ESIA Addendum will identify the potential impacts of the Isimba HPP on the natural habitat, environmental and spiritual values of the Kalagala Falls Site, if any, and corresponding mitigation measures. In addition, the GoU is now preparing a separate Long term Conservation 5 All distances are approximate. -7- Options Report (LTCOR) to address sustainability issues of the Kalagala Falls Site, as the IA will expire in 2023. V. NEXT STEPS 23. As part of WMDP implementation support Management will continue to monitor implementation of relevant parts of the SMP. Except for the issuance of two of the three outstanding land titles all other outstanding action items under the Management Action Plan (MAP) are complete. Management will follow up closely on the pending activities and submit a final progress report once the pending action is satisfactorily completed, or within 12 months, whichever comes first. -8- Annex 1 DETAILED STATUS OF ACTIVITIES IN THE MAP Issues Actions (Initial Status Commitment) MAP General Institutional Management will follow up Capacity on:  Establishment of a Completed.
