The project CAR - Emergency Power Response Project has changed to Closed. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objectives of the Emergency Power Response Project for Central African Republic are to partially restore reliable electricity supply to the project implementing entity's customers in Bangui, including essential service providers such as the Recipient's water company and hospitals, and improve the financial and operational performance of the sector. There are five components to the project. First component of the project is rehabilitation of Boali two hydropower stations. This component will provide for the rehabilitation and the procurement of transformers and protection devices, and the replacement of regulation devices of hydropower turbines. This component will address the lack of protection devices in the substations that put the integrity of the entire network system in jeopardy. Second component of the project is Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Program. This component will distribute CFLs in order to reduce energy usage for lighting purposes. Third component of the project is pre-payment meters. This component would be a pilot program to introduce pre-payment meters among the main consumer categories, particularly those from whom collection rates are low. The target is to introduce some 5,500 pre-payment meters at customer premises out of about 18,000 customers. Priority would be given to the 5,000 customers who currently have no meters. This would enable Energie Centrafricaine (ENERCA) to improve its cash flow, in order to start maintaining its infrastructure. Fourth component of the project is loss reduction program. This component will focus on replacing these old low-voltage distribution lines in six Bangui neighborhoods with PVC insulated aluminum cables, where technical losses are lower and theft of electricity is much more difficult, and on equipping existing and new transformers to improve the quality of service. Fifth and the final component of the project is Agence d 'Exicution des Travaux d 'Interet Public (AGETIP-CAF). This component is constituted of the fees to be paid for the services of AGETIP-CAF in procurement and financial management of the project on behalf of ENERCA, given the low fiduciary capacity of the latter.

The project C.A.R. Community Reintegration Project has changed to Closed. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The development objective of the Community Reintegration Project for the Central African Republic (CAR) is to improve access to basic social infrastructure and economic opportunities for local communities in the targeted areas of northern CAR, with a focus on youth and youth associated with armed violence. The changes to the project include: (i) the extension of closing date of the project from April 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013, and (ii) a revision of the results framework due to the modified timeline for activities and to ensure common monitoring and evaluation approaches across multiple recipients. These changes are required because of delays in implementation which are primarily due to the slow approval process of safeguards documentation by Government in the early stages of the project, as well as instability in some of the target areas. The restructuring will allow the project to successfully achieve its objectives by the closing date.

The project Multisectoral HIV/AIDS Project has changed to Closed

The project Multisectoral HIV/AIDS Project has changed to Closed. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The original objectives of the Multisectoral HIV/AIDS, Health, and Education Emergency Support Project were to help the Government reduce HIV/AIDS, prevalence in the Central Africa Republic (CAR), and to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on persons infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. The main reasons for the project restructuring are: new emergencies resulting from civil disturbances and developments since original project approval and because HIV-AIDS remains a major problem in CAR. The revised project development objectives (PDO) reflect on today's understanding that the Multi-sectoral AIDS Program (MAP) projects cannot use prevalence rates as impact indicators. The revised PDO would be to contribute to meeting (a) urgent needs in the fight against HIV, such as access to prevention, treatment, and impact mitigation services (b) urgent social needs such as prevention of malaria, increased access to water supply and improved primary education. The project components and subcomponents would reflect the new objectives, addressing HN/AIDS, health and education emergency needs. The restructured project would include a component for each sector, plus a component for a small financial management and procurement unit.

The objectives of the Food Response Project for the Central African Republic is to: i) provide increased food access to primary and pre-school students in targeted areas; and ii) support rural producer's capacity to ensure adequate supply response for medium-term improvement in food security. The requested extension will provide sufficient time for the completion of the 22-month subsidiary agreements. The client and the World Bank have agreed on a time-bound action plan for accelerating project implementation and achieving project goals. The action plan provides a government commitment to prepare annual reviews of compliance with action plan and performance indicators. At the core of the action plan is a list of time-bound actions that the Permanent Technical Committee of Structural Adjustment Programs (CTP/PAS) and other government entities have committed to undertaking in order to meet the revised closing date and avoid further delays in the implementation of components two and three.

The project Economic Management and Governance Reform Grant III has changed to Closed. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The Third Economic Management and Governance Reform Grant Program (EMGRG III) for Central African Republic (CAR) is the fourth in a series of development policy operations (DPOs) that began with the Reengagement and Institution-Building Support Program in 2006. It builds on the preceding DPOs and continues to support the implementation of CAR's poverty reduction strategy, as set out in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper adopted by the Government in September 2007. The operation supports the Government's efforts to mitigate the economic and poverty impact of the global economic slowdown. The EMGRG III is designed as a two-tranche operation to give the authorities the time needed to implement the proposed tranche release conditions in the context of an evolving electoral process. The reform program has been developed jointly with the Government and in close collaboration with other donors active in CAR. Also the government and other budget support donors as a group have agreed on the EMGRG III tranche release conditions. The European Union and African Development Bank intend to provide parallel external financing to help mitigate the impact of the global financial crisis and support the implementation of the government's poverty reduction strategy. The operation is consistent with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) supported program under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF).

The project CAR-Agro-Pastoral Recovery Project is now in the pipeline. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objective of the Agro-Pastoral Recovery Project (APRP) for Central African Republic is to increase productivity and production of selected food crops and livestock species in the project area. This project paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide a Credit in an amount of SDR 8.3 million (US$13.09 million equivalent) and a grant in an amount of SDR 6.8 million (US$10.71 million equivalent) to the Central African Republic (CAR) for an emergency APRP. In October 2010, the Government of CAR (GoCAR) requested assistance from the World Bank to help with its ongoing efforts to fight against food insecurity. Knowing that supplemental International Development Association (IDA) funds amounting to US$20 million were being made available to CAR, the World Bank gave its consent to the preparation of an emergency agricultural development project to consolidate and extend the gains achieved under the emergency Food Crisis Response Project (FCRP) that was approved in July 2008. The credit and grant will help to finance the costs associated with the implementation of the government's strategy to tackle chronic food insecurity, with a particular focus on the south-western part of the country, which has significant agricultural potential but where malnutrition is widespread and where unemployment rates are high following the closing of many mining activities. The APRP will help to increase incomes and safeguard food security of rural households by supporting activities designed to: (i) increase production of selected crops and livestock products; (ii) strengthen institutions and build capacity among targeted stakeholders including particularly farmers and their organizations; and (iii) carry out project coordination and management activities, including project administration, financial management, procurement, monitoring and evaluation of project performance and impacts, and safeguards compliance.

The scaling up includes investments in water supply, flood reduction and mitigation, solid waste management, and urban roads as well as technical assistance for institutional strengthening. The additional financing will also finance cost overruns, mainly related to the increase in the price of cement. The additional financing is processed using the streamlined procedures of Operations Policy 8.00 Rapid Response to Crises and Emergencies.
