The PDO would be achieved by strengthening the ongoing reform process and moving it further along with the following outputs: (i) enhanced capacity in creating a sustained program to develop skilled procurement professionals, (ii) strengthened management and monitoring of procurement in target agencies, (iii) introduction of e-government procurement in CPTU and the target agencies on a pilot basis, and (iv) creation of greater public awareness of a well functioning public procurement system by engaging civil society, think tanks, beneficiaries, and the private sector. All these actions are key elements in effective implementation of the procurement law/ regulations. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component 1: Furthering Policy Reform and Institutionalizing Capacity Development:(Cost $18.40 M) Component 2: Strengthening Procurement Management at Sector Level & CPTU/ IMED:(Cost $15.90 M) Component 3: Introducing e-government Procurement (e-gp):(cost $19.70 M) Component 4: Communication, Behavioral Change, and Social Accountability:(Cost $5.40 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory 7/6/2016 Page 1 of 11

2 Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Low Low Implementation Status and Key Decisions 1. e-gp system: The progress of implementation of e-gp has been much faster in the last one year and remains promising as it continues to exceed the set target both for e-gp and procurement performance tracking in PROMIS using e-gp. Now, there are over 21,000 registered bidders, with over 55,000 bid invitations, valued about $6 billion. The Clearly, visible impacts are seen on the ground in improving competition, reducing procurement delays, minimizing complaints and coercive/ bid rigging practices at local levels, savings of transaction costs. Currently, about 90% of tender are using e-gp in the four key target agencies. Moreover, the e-gp system is becoming progressively self-sustainable. Revenues have demonstrated the potential of the e-gp system to become sustainable within the project period. IDA is financing the e-gp contract on a declining basis to ensure its self-financing and sustainability within the project period. 2. Communication activities: Since the last mission in November 2015, the communication component made good progress in several activities including piloting citizen s engagement in procurement monitoring, e-gp awareness workshops (53 out of 64 districts), governmentcontractors forum (42 out of 64 districts), e-gp digital billboard, e-gp theme song, and workshops on citizen engagement/social accountability at divisions, districts and sub-district levels. 3. Capacity development: Procurement professionalization/ accreditation program has taken a new dimension in the country. As of now, under the project, 89 participants achieved full member status in the UK-based Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply- MCIPS. Another 26 MCIPS are from the private sector by virtute of the project CIPS program. Second, Bangladesh now has a pool of 60 resource persons (TOTs), with the addition of 21 after following a rigorous process of ITC-ILO/ Turin. Third, 30 TOTs have been provided with advance training at ITC-ILO on public-private partnership, advance contract management, sustainable procurement, and procurement of physical services. Fourth, 16 received Masters in sustainable procurement from ITC-ILO. Fifth, 2700 procurement officials received major three-week training, ensuring one trained/certified staff in each procuring entities of 4 target agencies and 20 additional agencies; thus the impact of transfer/ rotation of staff is minimized significantly. 4. Disbursement: Disbursement is around 76% and the project has been showing tangible result on the ground. 5. Fiduciary progress: Progress is satisfactory. CPTU has recently signed the contract of the new data center and mirror data center with a contract price of US$ 8.7 million. 6. Second Additional Financing: A second additional financing of $10 million for the project has been approved by the World Bank on June 6, This additional financing will be used mainly to fund the gap for e-gp data center and associated expenses. 7/6/2016 Page 2 of 11
