Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Early Recovery Package for Temporary Displaced Persons:(Cost $ M) Component 2: Promoting child health in selected areas of FATA:(Cost $27.40 M) Component 3: Strengthening program management and oversight:(cost $10.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Highly Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Implementation Support mission during September 4-7, 2018 noted that the project has made considerable progress on all key milestones and actions agreed at the last mission. The leadership of Economic Affairs Division is commended for their critical coordination role in deployment of fourteen One-Stop-Shops (OSS) despite the complex nature of the project and adverse situation on ground. As a result of successful operationalization of all existing OSS and efforts to expedite delivery of benefits to the returning population, the project has resulted in provision of support to 288,845 Temporarily Displaced Families with the Livelihood Support Grant (LSG) (76% of the caseload) and 255,835 families with children between 0-2 years of age for Child Wellness Grant (CWG) (106% of the project target) as of August 30, /16/2018 Page 1 of 7

3 IN Value Overall Comments PDO The Project has overachieved almost all of its results for the current FY (Annex C), the mission upgraded the PDO rating from Satisfactory to Highly Satisfactory. LSG and Child Wellness Package: The project demonstrated impressive and steady progress by processing 288,845 TDPs to receive LSG and 255,835 eligible beneficiaries for CWG. Project implementation has exceeded expectations, however, as LSG grants reach their saturation point, implementation against this component is expected to continue slowing down. Progress against the CWG component has remained strong largely due to the collective efforts made by EAD, NADRA, DoH, FDMA and the Communications/Mobilization firm. Increased uptake of immunization services (86% following the first Health Awareness Session (HAS), 65% following the second HAS and 55% following the third HAS) is a major achievement of the project team. While progress has exceeded expectations, the project team plans to intensify targeted campaigns to promote attendance of second and third health awareness sessions. In addition, accuracy of data for the Child Wellness Package must be monitored with attention to accurate MUAC measurements. The mission recommended that DoH experts should be made available to provide refresher trainings to LHVs and technicians deputed to each OSS as soon as possible to ensure a minimum quality standard for screening data. CWG completion rates need to be monitored with special focus on speedy resolution of bottlenecks. ERG:The caseload, following inclusion through appeals, reached 380,829 as of August 30, Of these, FDMA reported that 323,408 TDP families have returned. Only 236,007 TDPs received the return grant and 236,668 received transport grant payments. Out of the 290,424 cases biometrically verified by NADRA, so far only 182,311 cases for return grant and 177,509 cases for transport grant have qualified for reimbursement. Payments of both the transport and recovery grants are still ongoing. The FATA Secretariat has requested consideration for TDP cases from Mohmand and Bajaur Agencies (36,759 and 72,895 TDPs respectively) and Khost (approximately 8,000 TDPs). In addition, the FATA and TDP Secretariat is considering the renotification of certain tribes (approximately 70,126) and a decision is pending. The mission recommended that a meeting of the Steering Committee be scheduled during September 2018 to reach a decision on inclusion of new cases and on a date for closure of the appeal process.

GR systems are now operating in a sound manner with 85% of all appeals lodged resolved. Once an appeal is lodged in the GR system by a potential beneficiary, FDMA produces hard copies and delivers these by hand to the offices of relevant Political Agents (PA) on a weekly basis. The PA following in-house verifications liaises with tribal elders and Maliks. Following investigations into the appellant s background involving testimony, on completion of the consultative process, the Malik/tribal elders and officials from the PA s office provide a decision on the appeal. This decision is relayed in writing back to FDMA which marks the decision in the system. On average, most appeals were resolved within days despite access and security issues. Appeal cases resolved within the 60-day target under the project increased from 9.2% recorded during the last mission to 12.35%. However, it is unlikely that the project target of 45% will be met as the stakeholders involved in the process are bound to take 11/16/2018 Page 5 of 7
