Project Development Objectives HN Rural Infrastructure Project (P086775) Project Development Objective (from Project Appraisal Document) The project development objectives are (i) to improve access, quality and sustainability of infrastructure services (roads, water & sanitation, and electricity) for the rural poor in Honduras; and (ii) to develop capacities and enabling environment for locally-driven service provision and planning. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Program?

Public Disclosure Authorized Yes No

Rural Electrification Project (P090113) Global Environmental Objective (from Project Appraisal Document) The GEF project development objectives are: (i) improving access, quality and sustainability of electricity services through the development of offgrid electrification model projects, and (ii) developing capacities and enabling environment for offgrid electrification in a decentralized setting.

The project's global environmental objective is to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions through the reduction of policy, informational, financing and institutional capacity barriers that currently hinder renewable energy technology (RET) dissemination and market development in Honduras Has the Global Environmental Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Program?

Implementation Status Overview Implementation Progress is Moderatelly Satisfactory. Additional Financing for the Project was approved in June 2013 and the Project was declared effective in November 2013. Since the last supervision mission in September, the implementing agency (FHIS) has made significant progress preparing sub-projects for execution.

Sub-projects: Currently, 21 projects in roads, 24 projects in water and sanitation, and 27 sub-projects in on-grid rural electrification are in the planning stages. Under the solar home systems component of the Project, FHIS has set the prices for SHS and prepared the contracts with the solar distribution companies for the NO of the Bank. The mini-hydro project in La Atravesada is nearly complete. All civil works, metering, and grid construction are complete. The generator experienced a mechanical failure, and had to be repaired. Repairs are complete, and the testing period for the system are scheduled to commence on 27 March. If the tests are successful, the system will run for a proving period of 1040 hours, after which time the sub-project will begin to generate electricity for the communities.

New solar initiative: the team recently had discussions with Mario Pineda, recently appointed as the Minister for the Institute for Community Development, Water and Sanitation (IDECOAS), about a potential concessional loan of $40 million by the Korean foreign aid agency and US EX-IM bank in rural solar projects. The team emphasized the need for IDECOAS to coordinate with FHIS to ensure that efforts are not duplicated, that lessons learned are incorporated into Project design, and that market forces are utilized to ensure that distribution of solar systems is efficient and sustainable.

Procurement: The Bank gave its NO for the procurement plan for the Project (both IDA credits), and is expected to disburse $4.7 million US in CY 2014.

Safeguards: FHIS has made some progress on obtaining the environmental licenses pending for sub-projects already constructed. FHIS anticipates that all remaining licenses will be obtained by November 2014. For planned sub-projects, requests for environmental licenses for 14 sub-projects have been presented to the environmental agency (SERNA). The slow rate of processing of environmental licenses remains a significant concern. On average, each license takes 6-12 months to approve, causing significant delays in sub-project execution. Increased vigilance by FHIS, and if necessary, increased support by the Bank, are necessary to ensure that environmental licenses are secured for every sub-project in a timely fashion. In addition, measures to increase the environmental sustainability of sub-projects have been incorporated in the new designs for sub-projects. Preparation of the Environmental Remediation Action Plan, agreed as part of the MGAS, is well underway. It is anticipated that implementation of remediation actions will commence in October, and will be finalized by June 2015. Public Disclosure Copy Project Implementation Unit: With the inauguration of a new adminstration in Honduras, The Government is looking for ways to find savings and enhance the efficiency of Project implementation. To that end, consolidation of donor funded PIUs has been discussed. The team emphasized that, given the limited time for Project implementation, and that there is

Page 2 of 10 The World Bank Report No: ISR13962

no possibility of Project extension, maintaining the institutional integrity of the existing PIU is absolutely critical if the Project is to succeed in meeting its sub-project execution goals.

Selection of the additional mancomunidades: FHIS was given a deadline of April 4th for FHIS to submit their selection. This was achieved, albeit with only one additional mancommunidad. The Bank is currently reviewing the proposal.
