Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Improving Road Infrastructure:(Cost $28.00 M) Component 2: Improving Social Infrastructure:(Cost $5.50 M) Component 3: Improving Trade Facilitation:(Cost $26.80 M) Component 4: Institutional Strengthening and Implementation Assistance:(Cost $8.70 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO ►Moderately Satisfactory ►Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) ►Moderately Unsatisfactory ►Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating ►Substantial ►Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions 10/19/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Southern Africa Trade and Transport Facilitation Program - SOP2 (P145566) The project is making Moderately Satisfactory progress towards achieving intended outcomes. With the practical completion of the Karonga-Songwe section of the major civil works, the reduction in average journey time for an imported container from Songwe/ Kasumulu border with Tanzania to Lilongwe will require removal of the number of non-tariff barriers. Reductions in the annual number of fatal accidents on the M1 corridor are anticipated once seven accident blackspots are remediated (in mid-2020), the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) pilot is functioning at full potential (December 2019), and hospital trauma centers are operational (early 2021). Outcome indicators related to border crossing times (at Songwe, Dedza, Muloza and Mwanza) will be measured once new infrastructure has been completed. The number of beneficiaries of the upgraded health and trauma centers along the M1 pilot corridor will also be confirmed after completion of the related civil works in early 2021.The project is currently scheduled for completion in December 31, 2021 and will likely require a 6 to 12-month extension to complete key elements for roll out of the National Single Window, as well as construction of One Stop Border Posts.
