Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) capacity building activities – both central and local - were carried out under various components continuing to strengthen technical knowledge in sector planning and management. Institutional oversight to better govern the hydropower and mining sectors is gradually improving. All critical technical assistance packages (power sector reform, mining sector strategy and strategic environmental and social assessment, electricity tariff, independent power producer process improvement and Policy on Sustainable Hydropower Development implementation, geo-data infrastructure including geological survey and mapping) are under implementation to develop tools and management systems to enhance MEM oversight capacity, with many of the project results indicators achieved. Coordination among implementing agencies improved substantially through regular project monitoring meetings and the establishment of technical working groups for all deliverables under the project. However, there remains challenges as some policy areas developed under the project (i.e., design of new fiscal/taxation regime for hydropower and mining, amended electricity law, adoption of the new tariff design, implementation of the mining strategic environmental and social assessment) would require high level Government commitment for implementation. The Bank team is working closely with counterparts to address this.
