ROAD SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Additional Financing (IDA Credit No. 5002-NP) Implementation Review and Support Mission September 1-22, 2016 AIDE-MEMOIRE I. Introduction and Acknowledgment 1. A World Bank review team1 (see Annex-1a provides the team members’ list) led by Farhad Ahmed carried out an implementation review from September 1-22, 2016 on the Road Sector Development Project (RSDP). The review had following objectives: (i) assessing the project status and identify the key implementation issues, especially identify measures required to conclude few remaining activities; (ii) identifying and agreeing with the Government of Nepal (GON) on the future course of actions that will be necessary for achieving satisfactory results as envisaged in this project; (iii) assessing the readiness of the activities that will be undertaken under the forthcoming second additional financing of the project; and (iv) discussing and agreeing on the various activities linked to the preparation of an Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR) of the Project. 2. The Team would like to thank GON for the hospitality extended to it, especially by counterpart agencies and officials (Annex-1b provides the list of persons met). This Aide-Memoire (AM) summarizes main review findings, agreements reached, and recommendations made. It also reflects discussions held in a wrap-up meeting chaired by Mr. Dhana Bahadur Tamang, Secretary, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport (MoPIT) on September 22, 2016. The Team has debriefed the Ministry of Finance on review findings on September 10, 2016. As per the Bank's Access to Information policy and the wrap-up meeting decision, this AM will be classified as a public document. II. Key Project Data 3.

Achievement of Project Development Objective Status 4. RSDP is highly likely to achieve its Project Development Objective (PDO). The impact study report encompassing the five roads is now finalized. The studies assessed one of the outcome indicators: reduction in travel time. An analysis, that used the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has already assessed another outcome indicator-increase in population to all-season roads. The final figures are now confirmed. Department of Roads (DOR) will assess the third outcome indicator-condition of strategic network roads-as part of its normal network monitoring activities. As reported earlier, a road condition survey carried out in November, 2012 showed that 11.27% of black-topped SRN roads were in poor condition (i.e. the end-project target is 15% has been achieved). The next report is expected soon. The
1Hereinafter referred as “The Team” 2 Excludes an amount of SDR 4.5m (US$ 6.75m) cancelled in January, 2015 through a restructuring process. 3 Credit 5002-NP Amount: SDR 13.0million; Amount Disbursed (as of September 30, 2016): SDR 6.28million (48%) Team has advised DOR to submit the latest road condition report as soon as it is finalized. Annex -2 provides the progress details on the achievement of results. The Team has retained the PDO achievement rating as “Moderately Satisfactory”. IV. Current Implementation Status 5. The overall implementation progress rating is retained as “Satisfactory”. Summary details are provided described below. Road Development Component 6. RSDP has achieved all its physical targets under this component. Therefore, the performance of this component has been rated as “satisfactory”. The table below provides the summary progress. All contracts under this component are now complete. DOR plans to take up further road safety related activities on RSDP roads to enhance road safety on these roads. The activities are being planned to be taken up from RSDP savings, owing to depreciation of Nepalese Rupees (NPR) against A completed Surkhet-Jumla road 4 United States Dollar (US$). These activities section would be undertaken as per recommendations of the road safety audit conducted on these roads in December 2013. These proposed activities will complement activities undertaken under the Road Safety Support Project (RSSP). However, DOR is yet to submit a detailed estimate of the savings and the full road safety proposal. It is understood that the savings could be in the region of US$11.0m and the proposed activities would cost roughly US$5.0m. Therefore, there could still be a saving of $6.0m. The Team has advised the DOR to urgently submit savings details and activities it plans to take up with the savings along with costs. Based on the merit of the proposal a decision will be taken. However, DOR was reminded that any potential activities require to be completed by end-June, 2017. It is expected that the project will require a restructuring in order to surrender the excess credit amount. Annex-3 provides the summary progress of the component.

2 basic road inventory data along the selected road corridor have been completed. However, some activities under a bridge design consultancy contract still remain incomplete (design of 14 bridges on Mugling– Narayanghat Highway section out of total 18). This is as DOR and the consultants could not agree on technical approaches to the design/capacity expansion of those bridges. DOR has agreed to close the bridge consultancy contract by end-October, 2016. It has been agreed that two bridge experts (one expert on bridge design and another expert on concrete prefabrication) will be hired by the DOR to support Bridge Branch in the implementation of Bridges Improvement and Maintenance Program (BIMP) and in the preparation of follow-up project activities. These consultants should possess specialized skills and they need to be hired quickly. Therefore, they could be hired using a Single Source Selection method. While Annex-5 provides status of the agreed actions from last review, Annex-6 presents agreed actions from this review.

RSDP's safeguard implementation achievements have been good. The table below summarizes the safeguard performance while the subsequent sections discuss the social and environmental safeguard measures separately. Annex-7 provides details of the safeguard assessment. Item Rating and Key Points Trend - Accomplishments X- Concerns ☼- Information Excellent overall achievements in social safeguards

Necessary re- plantation will be done through contractors or through DOR division offices. Social Safeguards 9. RSDP has made outstanding achievements in implementation of social safeguard measures. It has been rated as ‘Satisfactory’. The project completed almost all of previous review’s agreed actions including those agreed for Sitalpati – Musikot (SM) road. 98% of compensations linked to Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) and Support Allowance (SA) were paid to the project affected persons (PAFs). GON has been trying hard to complete the remaining compensation payments and deed transfer process by June 2017. However, it would be difficult to achieve 100% target given that the remaining PAFs are mainly absentee landowners. DOR has also agreed to prepare a safeguard related implementation completion summary report by mid-November, 2016. Annexes 5 and 6 provide the status of agreed actions during the last review and current review, respectively, while details on safeguard findings have been presented on Annex-7.

Environmental Safeguards 10. DOR has made excellent progress in the implementation of environmental safeguard actions. All previous review’s agreed actions have been implemented (see Annex-5). A Safeguard Specialist has joined the Geo-Environmental and Social Unit (GESU) from late-March 2016. DOR has to start re- plantation through contractors, for roads under Surkhet-Jumla road bio-engineering defects liability period, or division offices in the works case of remainder roads.
V. Governance, Accountability and Peace Filter 11. RSDP’s attention to Governance Accountability Action Plan (GAAP) actions continues to be satisfactory including the implementation of Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM). A department-wide IT-based grievance redressal system, with tracking and feedback mechanisms, has now been launched. This system is governed by a specific MoPIT approved policy instrument on grievance handling. Annex-9 and 10 provide the detail assessment and status of GAAP respectively. VI. Procurement and Financial Management 12. The Procurement performances have been judged as “Satisfactory”. The table below summarizes the procurement related key points. All contracts are procured and there are no significant issues. Annex-8 provides procurement review details. 13. The review has judged Financial Management performance as “Moderately satisfactory”. Table below summarizes the performance of fiduciary activities. The review has identified a few issues linked to the financial management including: (i) Contract Monitoring System (CMS) is not yet made operational, and (iii) retention money being claimed with IDA before payment to the contractors. Annex-8 provides review details on financial management. Item Rating and Key Points Trend - Accomplishments X- Concerns ☼- Information RSDP has procured all the contracts and there are no issues Procurement Satisfactory ☼ DOR intends to procure road safety related civil works contracts on ▲ six RSDP roads at an approximate cost of US$5.0m Project has maintained all required ledgers in required format and they are up-to-date All statement of expenditure related records and documents are properly maintained and accounted at Project Central Unit (PCU) Financial Moderately All Financial Management related trainings have been completed Management Satisfactory x Although not paid to contractors, retention money claimed from ◄► IDA x Contract Monitoring System (CMS) yet to be made operational. It has now been proposed to be made operational under RSDP second additional financing (AFII)/BIMP. VII. Key Issues in Implementation 14. Actions that are crucial in achieving project’s objectives are highlighted below: i. Closing the bridge design contract by end-October, 2016; and ii. Submitting saving details of the existing International Development Association credit (No. 5002-NP) and potential road safety related activity details by end-October, 2016 so that saved amount can timely be cancelled through a project restructuring.

VIII. Second Additional Financing 15. The World Bank Board has approved a second additional financing to RSDP on August 25, 2016. The total size of the second additional financing is US$65 million, of which the Bank’s and GON’s shares are US$55 million and US$10 million respectively. The financing agreement is expected to be signed as soon as the GON completes all formalities. The closing date of the second additional financing is July 15, 2019. IX. Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR) 16. An Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR) for the original RSDP and the first additional financing operations requires to be prepared by November 11, 2016. An ICR Task Team is currently working and has prepared a plan for the report delivery. The Team has also visited two RSDP roads (Surkhet –Khidkijhyula and Chinchu – Jajarkot roads) in the Mid-western Region. The following milestones have been established for the ICR delivery: (a) Receipt of Borrower's draft completion report by September 15, 2016; (b) Finalization of the 1st draft by September 28, 2016; (c) Decision meeting on October 19, 2016; and (d) Board submission on October 27, 2016. DOR has agreed to submit the borrower’s ICR within the agreed date. 17. ICR preliminary messages are: (i) the project had achieved its development objective of providing all-season access and thereby reducing travel time for the residents of the beneficiary districts – five main PDO indicators had either been achieved or exceeded; (ii) the strategic choices of low-cost intervention, and targeting of low-to-medium sized local contractors had both yielded notable results including low unit costs and increased capacity of the local construction industry; (iii) the road standards, the topography traversed, the weather patterns, and the rapid traffic growth dictate the need for special road maintenance arrangements – as noted during the field visit; and (iv) the capacity building component had not only enhanced technical skills in the management of the roads sector but it had also facilitated the institutionalization of other aspects (e.g. social and environmental compliance, and e-procurement). The ICR will take note of the existence of exchange-rate “savings” that would be expended over the period beyond the review cut-off date of June 30, 2016. X. Proposed timing and focus of the next review 18. The next review is planned in early-March, 2017. The review will focus on: (i) assessing the project status and identifying the final issues linked to the implementation of original financing and the first additional financing activities; and (ii) identifying and agreeing on actions that will be necessary for achieving project objectives. The project will require another restructuring to cancel the expected savings under Credit No. 5002-NP, which is expected to be completed before the next mission. A formal request from GON would, however, be required for such a cancellation.

The contractor will re-plant before DLP ends. Re-plantation plan to be ready well in advance (tentatively by December 2016) Similarly, assessment of performance of BEWs for re-planting, and replantation where necessary i.e. in other road such as Chhinchun- Jajarkot (CJ) and Sitalpati – Musikot Road (SM) plantation survival growth is observed as 85 % and 90% respectively. Bio engineering works in all other RSDP sub projects have been completed. Chainage-wise breakdown of total BEWs identified and plantation done for KJM Road is presented in Annex-7a. BEWs good practices and status of before and after construction works is presented in Annex-– 7b and 7c respectively. Compliance Monitoring: GESU team and consultant has carried out compliance monitoring in KJM during June, July and August 2016 and at SM Road on August 2016. Goluleshwor – Darchula Road (GD- Monson damage MD1 and MD2): MD-1 protection work/reinstatement ie, gabion and masonry wall construction at quarry sites Ch: 82+420, 96+970 and BEWs at Ch: 102+830, 104+150 is complete. MD-2 work i.e. backfilling behind of RCC wall at Namiskar in Mahakali dam and back filling behind of RCC wall for road construction at Galphe is also complete. Similarly, Khodpe – Chainpur Road (KC-MD3), slope protection work is done. Compliance monitoring in all RSDP Road is complete. (Annex-7d) Except the above Bio engineering locations DOR/Consultant has identified 59 new other locations (Approx. 112081sqm) for BEWs in critical areas (landslides and curtail area) under KMJ. Reverification of quantity and location shall be done by DOR/consultant and this project has been transferred to RSDP- AF –II phase.

Annex-8 Status of Procurement and Financial Management Procurement All goods, works and services contracts under RSDP according to the schedule have been procured. However, Procurement of (i) two bridge experts for supporting Bridge Branch and; (ii) seven road safety related civil works contracts on six RSDP roads are planned to be procured from the savings of RSDP-AF. Financial Management and Disbursement Budget and Expenditure of FY2016/17 The approved budget of FY2016/17 is NPR 4,111.09 million. The recurrent budget is NPR 12.64 million (code 3371423) and the capital budget is NPR 4,098.45million (code 3371424). Of the approved budget, NPR 220.02 million is allocated under the Government source and NPR 3,891.07 million from the IDA credit source. The budget authorizations from MoPIT were received on August 7, 2016 and annual work plan has now been approved by the NPC. However, there was no expenditure until the review date. The review team noted that the Government counterpart fund is sufficient as per information provided by the project. Disbursements Total disbursement as of September 30, 2016 is about USD 99.10 million. This includes designated account advance of USD 3.25 million under the IDA Credit 5002. Financial Management The review team noted that RSDP has maintained the required ledgers including the Designated Account Ledger, cash and bank book, budget sheet, main and subsidiary grant and credit register in required format and they are up-to-date. The review team reviewed supporting documents of statement of expenditures at PCU on sample basis and it was noted that all SOE related records and documents are properly maintained and accounted. The closing balance of Designated Account is tallied with the bank balance as per ledger as on August 29, 2016. The review team noted that the retention money deducted from the construction bills and not paid to the contractors has also been claimed with IDA. The team also reviewed the previous agreed action plans and noted that updating/ operationalizing Contract Monitoring System (CMS) to be completed by May 31, 2016 have not been completed. It has been proposed to implement the CMS under RSDP AFII. The internal audit of the FY2015/16 has been conducted but the reports have not been issued till the date of review. Trimester Implementation Progress Report There are no overdue Implementation Progress Reports (IPRs). The third trimester IPR of FY 2015/16 has also been received. Audit Report The audited project account of FY2014/15 was received with delays. The audit opinion provided by auditor is unqualified. The mission reminded that the audited accounts for FY2015/16 is due on January 15, 2017.

Annex-9 Governance, Accountability and Peace Filter Governance and Accountability Plan Action (GAAP) An updated status GAAP matrix is presented in Annex-10. RSDP attention to GAAP actions continues to be satisfactory. An IT-based grievance handling system with tracking and feedback elements has now been launched at the Department level. A specific policy instrument on grievance handling approved at the Ministry level will govern the system. The system covers all units within the DOR, including its field-based offices. The performance of the system needs to be monitored adequately. In addition, DOR staff at different levels should be trained on managing the system. A study on the impact of the introduction of e- bidding in DOR is being supported by the Bank under a separate funding source. The impact study has enjoyed good cooperation from DOR in terms of the collection of procurement information since FY 2007/08. The final report of the study is expected to generate informed debates about how e-bidding that could further contribute to improved procurement practices. The National Vigilance Centre (NVC) continues to undertake technical audit of selected projects. The findings of audit and the non-compliance reports (NCRs) are discussed with all stakeholders. NVC also plans to monitor the NCRs. Engagement of social mobilizers in each of the upgrading road sections has been found to be helpful with regard to information dissemination, especially at the community level. An area that needs more management attention is M&E. First, capacity constraints at different levels have affected M&E performance. Whatever capacity is available with DOR needs to be fully used without distinguishing between sources of funds. This should happen within a consolidated framework for M&E procedures for all projects funded through GON sources or DP support. Second, and more important, the M&E framework should also capture project ‘outcomes’ going beyond the emphasis on inputs and outputs. Strengthening M&E efforts will require additional capacity which could be sourced through management innovation such as outsourcing. Peace Filter Policy dialogue: RSDP has opened up opportunities for policy dialogue on public investments in remote regions, which can be expected to contribute to inclusion and employment creation. Given that exclusion and poverty have been the major drivers of conflict in Nepal, RSDP interventions can be considered to be associated with peace. Implementation: RSDP undertakes pro-active communication through web-based, electronic, and print media. It has also carried out 'opinion surveys' which can be used as people's feedback on Project performance. The Project's social safeguard and grievance handling measures are other examples to promote peace and avoid conflict. E-bidding is another innovation, which has helped in preventing security threats during the award of contracts. Suggestions: RSDP should continue to respond to the needs of rural communities. Maintaining impartiality in the selection of projects is another important factor. Enhanced access to information based on information, education and communication (IEC) materials customized to community needs would also be of help.
