I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING

Background:

1. The Haiti Center and Artibonite Regional Development Project (the Project) was initially designed as part of a long term development vision, “Haiti Tomorrow, Center and Artibonite Loop, Territorial Development Opportunities and Strategies” (2011), prepared by the (GoH) in the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake. This vision sought to rebalance spatial and territorial development in departments and, with regards to Center Artibonite Loop (CAL) as a strategic region, to unlock its potential to: (i) contribute to economic growth, generate jobs and host growth poles; (ii) improve food security through agricultural production; (iii) absorb demographic growth; and (iv) serve as an attractive region for public and private sector investments. The World Bank had supported this development vision in the CAL in two areas – agriculture and health – with investments in agriculture production1 and in access to water2. Other development banks like the EU and the IDB supported similar objectives through transport and agriculture investments. The Project was designed to support the same development vision with investment in the transport sector based on the following Project Development Objectives: (a) support the development of the CAL region, primarily by enhancing all-weather connectivity and logistics for producers, and the region's resilience to climate change; and (b) support the Recipient's capacity to respond promptly and effectively to an Eligible Emergency, as needed. The Project included five components:

 A: enhancing logistics, transport connectivity, and climate resilience, including four sub-components: A.1: improving the “structuring” road network; A.2: improving the rural road network; A.3: strengthening road maintenance capacity and mechanism at the local level; and A.4: supporting the application of best practices addressing the issue of climate change.  B: improving infrastructure and management capacity of key selected urban and rural markets, including two sub-components: B.1 urban markets and associated facilities; and B.2: rural markets.  C: supporting the development or regional knowledge, planning capacity and local participation, including two sub-components: C.1: improving regional knowledge; and C.2: supporting the development of regional planning capacity and local participation.  D: Contingent Emergency Response.  E: Project implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

2. The PDO was fully consistent with the World Bank Group’s Haiti Interim Strategy Note for FY13-FY14 (Report No. 71885-HT), notably with Objective 1 (reduce vulnerability and increase resilience) and the expansion of the

1 Relaunching Agriculture: Strengthening Agriculture Public Services II Project (P126744) (approved in December 2011). 2 HT Sustainable Rural and Small Towns Water and Sanitation Project (P148970) (approved in May 2015). The World Bank HT Center and Artibonite Regional Development (P133352)

Objective 4 (revitalizing the economy), which includes regional development. The PDO remains relevant for the current CPF FY16-FY19 (Report No. 98132-HT), especially for the Area of Focus 3 on Resilience and the Objective 9 – Improve Disaster Prevention and Strengthen Climate Resilience.

Status of Implementation:

3. Project implementation was hampered until early 2018 due to a number of factors of which (i) Haiti’s fragile political environment and its negative impact on coordination between different institutions involved—(a) the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), namely the Unité Technique d’Exécution (UTE) responsible for Components A-E and (b) the partner institutions - the PIU of the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communication (MTPTC), namely the Unité Centrale d’Exécution (UCE), and the Executive Secretariat of the Inter-Ministerial Committee for Territorial Development (CIAT-es); (ii) lack of clear responsibilities and coordination between the MEF-UTE and the partner institutions, and their limited capacity for implementation; and (iii) persistent challenges stemming from design complexity. For example, Component A suffered from a lack of involvement and inputs from the MTPTC, resulting in significant delays in the preparation, processing and approval of procurement packages. Component B benefited only from limited coordination with the CIAT-es, a critical partner with the expertise in regional and territorial development. Component C, which was designed to facilitate collaboration and coordinate inputs from associated technical ministries, was hampered by lack of clarity of roles and did not generate expected results.

4. Implementation progress began to improve in mid-2018, especially after the first project restructuring was approved on June 27, 2018, and has continued overall at a moderately satisfactory pace since then. The Project’s overall disbursement ratio increased from 10.4% at project restructuring to 41% in August 2019. Disbursement ratio for the IDA and CIF grants varied: it increased from 13% (July 2018) to 45% (August 2019) under the IDA Grant, while it remained at 13.75% under the CIF (see paragraph 10 for reasons). Nine work contracts were signed under Component A following project restructuring, equivalent to an additional US$ 23.6 million of commitments for road infrastructure works and maintenance and bridge construction3. A number of factors contributed to improving the implementation progress since mid-2018. This includes actions carried out prior to restructuring, most notably the adoption of the Regional Maintenance Strategy which allowed to lift the disbursement condition of Component A. The 2018 restructuring itself streamlined implementation arrangements for institutional coordination and strengthened ownership and involvement of partner institutions and simplified the project design. MTPTC-UCE became responsible for the implementation of Component A (and D.2), while MEF-UTE became responsible for overall coordination of the project and for the implementation of the revised Component B (and D.1). The revised Component B (Improving selected markets and supporting the development of regional knowledge & planning tools) consolidated the original activities under original Components B and C. The target for number of markets to be improved under the new subcomponent B.1 (Urban and Rural Markets and associated facilities) was also reduced based on the remaining project implementation period. A revised subcomponent B.2 (Improving regional knowledge & planning tools) consisted of all original activities under Component C.

5. The Project has generated the following intermediate results. Under Component A: (i) 49 spot interventions to enhance all-weather accessibility of roads (original target: 15), including the recently launched construction works for four bridges, three culverts and protection of three crossing structures, (ii) rehabilitated and made all weather 11 kilometers of non-rural roads (original target: 100 km), (iii) signed a contract of US$ 10.6 million with UNOPS in October 2018 for rehabilitating and making all weather 80 km of rural roads (original target: 80 kms) and for building

3 These include the contracts for the construction of four bridges, three culverts, three crossing structures and for the rehabilitation and making all weather of 80 km of rural roads and for building two road maintenance centers in and . The World Bank HT Center and Artibonite Regional Development (P133352) two road maintenance centers in Hinche and Mirebalais (original target: two), as well as for strengthening local actors’ implementation capacity (departmental directorates of public works, small and medium enterprises and community-based organizations) (original target: 500 people). Under sub-component B1: (iv) a bidding document for rehabilitating/constructing four urban/rural markets and for improving their management capacity has been issued (Fonds Bruns, Domond, Nan Poste and Saint-Raphael) while the bidding process is being finalized for technical studies for the construction of a new regional market in Saint-Michel and the fencing of the site of the future market (original target: eight). Under sub-component B2: (v) one climate informed urban plan completed for the city of Titanyen, and one launched in March 2019 for the city of Hinche of which the first deliverable was validated in May 2019 (target: four urban plans).

6. The overall Implementation Progress has been Moderately Satisfactory since its upgrade from Moderately Unsatisfactory in January 2019, and the likelihood of achieving the PDO has been Moderately Satisfactory. Financial management and procurement have been carried out in accordance with the Bank Financial Management and Procurement Guidelines, and there is no overdue project audit report by the Borrower. In addition, the Project has complied with all environmental, social and fiduciary requirements throughout its implementation.

Rationale for Restructuring:

7. The bulk of Project activities under Component A are now well on track, but activities to improve urban and rural markets under subcomponent B.1 have encountered persistent delays even after the 2018 restructuring. Thanks to the first restructuring of June 2018, the MTPTC-UCE was able to speed up implementation of Component A and demonstrated capacity to increase the bulk of the activities it can implement. Subsequently, additional spot interventions on the Hinche- road have been identified and would be financed following project restructuring (target is being readjusted under this restructuring). Under Component B, if the urban planning activities (B.2) have been launched and are being completed, implementation delays for the construction of the markets (B.1) have persisted following the restructuring. Delays have been caused by new challenges in the political, administrative and processing environment (e.g., violent riots from July 2018 to September 2019), critical staff departure (UTE Executive Director, CIF focal point at CIAT-ES, M&E specialist of UTE), and persistent delays related to frequent turnover at the government level. The identification of urban and rural markets to be rehabilitated or constructed was completed, but delayed significantly by current implementation challenges. As a result, the project needs more time to complete the planned works on the four urban and rural markets eventually identified.

II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

Project Development Objectives

8. The PDO is proposed to be revised by removing the long-term, high-level outcome from the PDO statement (support the development of the Centre Artibonite Loop region). The proposed PDO – “The objectives of the Project are to, within the Centre Artibonite Loop Region: (a) enhance all-weather connectivity, (b) improve access to climate- resilient urban and rural markets for the population of the region, and (c) enhance the region’s capacity for climate resilient planning” – includes the original outcomes that can be attributed to the project based on the outputs and for which the project was meant to be responsible for during its lifetime. In addition, it is proposed to modify the formulation of the second outcome to better reflect its link to project outputs and to clarify that the third outcome was originally intended to address capacity building rather than infrastructure when talking about the region’s resilience.

Components and Costs

9. The restructuring will (i) reduce investments in markets and capacity building and planning tools under Component B and (ii) remove the contingency emergency response funding under Component C and, based on these savings, increase investments in spot interventions under Sub-component A.1, and lightly increase funding under sub- Components D.1 and D.2, as presented in the following table and discussed in the following paragraphs

10. COMPONENT A: Enhancing logistics, transport connectivity, and climate. The nature of activities under sub- component A.1 remains unchanged, but there is a need to finance spot interventions on additional roads (including critical points identified along the Hinche-Thomassique road section). The estimated sub-component costs will be increased based on reducing the scope of Components B and on reallocating the CERC envelope.

11. COMPONENT B: Improving selected markets and supporting the development of regional knowledge and planning tools. The scope of sub-component B.1 and B.2 will be reduced and the remaining savings will be made available for sub-component A.1. The Component will focus on financing activities which are key to the achievement of the PDO.

12. Sub-component B.1: Urban and Rural Markets and associated facilities. As originally planned, this subcomponent will finance the rehabilitation or construction of the Saint-Raphael regional (urban) market, three selected rural markets (Fonds Bruns, Domond and Nan Poste) and the associated facilities (including logistical facilities, access roads, water and sanitation systems) with a special focus on their climate resilience and improvement of their management capacity. In order to accelerate the progress of this activity, an operator will be contracted to assume delegated project management authority for the improvement of market infratructure and management capacity.

13. Sub-component B.2: Improving regional knowledge and planning tools. As originally planned, this subcomponent will enhance the region’s capacity for climate resilient planning through: (a) technical guidelines and market design; (b) events/activities dedicated to knowledge dissemination and consultation; (c) development of a dashboard tool capturing key development indicators and investments at the regional level and dissemination of studies prepared by the project to inform future investments of public or private stakeholders; and (d) climate informed urban plans developed and consulted with local official and local stakeholders in six priority cities (four that were initially identified and two additional cities that were included based on consultations with local authorities): Hinche; Titanyen; Saint-Michel, Saint-Raphael, Saut d’Eau and Mirebalais. In addition, the project will continue to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation by CIAT-ES of the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) program in Haiti financed by the CIF. However, considering accumulated implementation delays, this component will drop the following studies: territorial analysis, identification of clusters with economic potential, and the land ownership plan at Source Matelas.

14. COMPONENT C: Contingent Emergency Response Component. Given the limited timeframe remaining before project closing, the funds of this component will be made available for sub-component A.1 and Component D to cover additional road works for spot interventions under sub-component A.1 and operating costs under Component D, and to fill the financing gap caused by the SDR allocation depreciation. Component C will, however, remain active to safeguard against potential emergencies that may arise from the high level of exposure and vulnerability of Haiti to extreme events.

15. COMPONENT D: Project Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation. There will be no change to Component D’s scope, but additional funds will be allocated to this component to fund the additional operating cost of the UTE and the UCE needed for the 22-month extension of the project. The World Bank HT Center and Artibonite Regional Development (P133352)

Results Framework

16. The proposed restructuring will streamline the results framework by: (i) clarifying or revising PDO indicators and adding one PDO indicator to more closely measure project outcomes and dropping one PDO indicator due to its unclarity; and (ii) clarifying and reducing some Intermediate Results Indicators (reduced from 12 to 9) and increasing the target for spot interventions from 15 to 70 under subcomponent A.1, reducing the target for improvement/construction of markets from eight to four under subcomponent B.1, and increasing the target for urban plans from four to six under subcomponent B.2. The proposed changes are detailed in Annex I (Revisions to the Results Framework).

Loan Closing date

17. The proposed restructuring will provide a 22-month extension of the closing date of both Grants (IDA H9500 and CIF TF-17021), from February 28, 2020 to December 31, 2021. This is the first extension of the closing date. The extension will allow MTPTC-UCE and MEF-UTE to complete the ongoing activities related to road infrastructure and markets as well as additional spot intervention along the Hinche-Thomassique road section.

18. The Project’s DOs remain achievable, the performance of the Borrower or Project Participant(s) remains Satisfactory, and the Bank and the Borrower or Project Participant(s) agreed on actions that will be undertaken by the Borrower or Project Participant(s) to complete the Project.

Reallocation between Disbursement Categories

19. The IDA Grant financing will be reallocated from Category 8 (Component B.1 and B.2) to Category 7 (Component A.1) in the amount of SDR 1 835 5094, to accommodate for the revision and cancellation of activities related to markets, knowledge development and planning tools under Component B and for the increase in investments in road works under Component A. Moreover, in light of the limited timeframe remaining before project closing, the IDA Grant financing will be reallocated from Category 6 (PPA) and Category 4 (Component C) to Category 7 (Component A.1 and Component D.2) respectively in the amount of in the amount of SDR 675,000 (Category 6) and SDR 650,000 (category 4), in order to accommodate for additional road works and operating cost during project extension, and to fill the financing gap caused by the SDR allocation depreciation. See Table 1 (in US$) and Section II (in SDR).

Disbursement Estimates

4 The exchange rate of October 1st was used: SDR 1 = USD 1.362020 The World Bank HT Center and Artibonite Regional Development (P133352)

20. Disbursement estimates are revised to reflect actual disbursement during the period of FY15-FY19 and estimated disbursements for FY20-FY22 (see Section IV). The grace period for disbursements will end 4 months after the closing date.

Implementation Schedule

21. The implementation schedule will be updated with the new closing date (December 31, 2021).
