Implementation Status Overview During the latter part of 2012, implementation of the Project continued to be affected by the decision of the Government to impose a cap on disbursements from the loan which it had imposed on all Bank supported projects in the country as a result of the financialconstraints the Government was experiencing. To address this problem, the Government in Public Disclosure Copy November 2012 decided to transform the implementing agency, Agency for State Roads (ASR), into a public enterprise (Public Enterprise for State Roads - PESR) and to have this entity assume the role of Borrower of the Loan. The effect being that the new entity will be able to implement the Project in accordance with the sector and project needs. These changes triggered a request for restructuring of the Loan in November 2012.
