Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Network Rehabilitation and Expansion (Bank financing USD 4.5) 12.50 Utility Capacity Building and Technical Assistance to PEA (Bank financing USD 3.5) 3.50 Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Satisfactory Satisfactory Public Disclosure Copy Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status Overview General progress on the GENRP project is Satisfactory, with progress generally proceeding according to plan. Environmental and social safeguards aspects of the project, along with the project’s procurement and financial management are also being managed satisfactorily. Although good progress is being made on procurement and implementation activities and overall project progress is satisfactory, constraints have arisen with the supply of cement and stay wires to Gaza. These items are restricted for import to Gaza, and this is now affecting progress on some installation works and will need to be resolved as soon as possible. The Bank is currently working with UNWRA to develop a means to import restricted goods and equipment to Gaza that will address these issues. Page 1 of 4 The World Bank Report No: ISR15164 GEDCO presented the Bank with a proposal to revise the Project’s Procurement Plan to procure additional pre-paid meters. These will better address immediate issues affecting management of the distribution system, and collection performance. Given that expansion of the pre-paid meter program will directly contribute to the PDOs, the Bank agreed in- principle with this proposal and will take action to revise the current Procurement Plan for the Project. Public Disclosure Copy GEDCO has also agreed to proceed with an electricity master plan for Gaza, despite earlier concerns that a master plan would be unrealistic in the current political economy. The Bank team had outlined the importance of a master plan in terms of creating a baseline for development of the sector. Disbursements have now risen to USD 2.7 million, which represents 33% of the allocated grant funds of USD 8 million. Total commitments now stand at $4.25 million. A supervision mission was undertaken by the Bank team on May 16-22, 2013. This mission rated progress to date on the Project as Satisfactory.
