New 220kV transmission 1a, b. Project Increased security risk capacity in western line of 135 km from Pul-e- supervision consultant during project Afghanistan Hashemi substation to monitoring and project implementation expanded Shindand substation completion reports. commissioned DABS quarterly progress (2020 baseline: 0 km) reports. (OP 3.1.3)
1b. New 220kV transmission line of 176 km from Shindand substation (Herat Province) to Farah substation (Farah Province commissioned (2020 baseline: 0 km) (OP 3.1.3)

2. Power distribution 2a. Two 220kV incoming 2a−f. Project supervision Increased security risk network and capacity line bays at the Pul-e- consultant monitoring in Afghanistan expanded Hashemi substation and project completion installed reports. DABS quarterly Delay in the (2020 baseline: 0) progress reports. implementation of the (OP 3.1.3) project’s associated facility—construction of Pul-e-Hashemi substation in Herat Province 2b. New 220/20kV substation in Shindand (Herat Province) commissioned (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 3.1.3)
2c. New 20/0.4kV distribution network in Shindand (Herat province) constructed (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 1.3; 1.3.1; OP 3.1.3)
2d. New 220/20kV substation in Farah (Farah Province) commissioned (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 3.1.3)
2e. New 20/0.4kV distribution network in Farah (Farah province) constructed (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 1.3; 1.3.1; OP 3.1.3)
2f. 18,000 households (of which 49% females) in Shindand and Farah districts with access to grid electricity supply (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 1.3; 1.3.1; OP 2.1.4)
2g. Two trainings each for 2g−i. PMO gender Cultural restrictions to Shindand and Farah consultant’s report, conduct trainings districts carried out to first survey of training time electricity users on safe participants, use of electricity, one of PMO training reports. which is women-only training with 100 women trained. (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 1.3; 1.3.1; OP 2.2; OP 2.1.4) 3
2h. Two awareness campaigns (one in Shindand and one in Farah districts) on safe and efficient use of electricity conducted, with at least one to be a gender sensitive awareness campaign to enhance women and girls’ knowledge and understanding of effective and safe use of energy. (2020 baseline: 0) (OP 1.3; 1.3.1)
2i. Energy-based livelihood training for women conducted with at least 50 women trained on energy- based livelihoods and skills training and at least 10 of them will be provided with further support to set-up their own business, and 30 will be employed in the skills area that they have been trained on.
