I. Introduction
1. This Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an additional loan in the amount of US$66.7 million to the Republic of Azerbaijan for the scale-up and restructuring of the IDP Living Standards and Livelihoods Project (P122943, IBRD-80960). This is in response to a letter from the government dated December 11, 2015, requesting Additional Financing (AF). The proposed AF loan would extend support for the social and economic infrastructure in beneficiary internally displaced person (IDP) communities and further strengthen IDP livelihoods. The closing date of the AF would be December 31, 2020.
2. The AF activities would be fully consistent with the project development objective (PDO) of the project. The original PDO “to improve living conditions and increase the economic self-reliance of targeted internally displaced persons” remains relevant and would remain unchanged. The Results Framework and Monitoring indicators have been revised to reflect changes in the scope of project activities as well as to improve the clarity of data gathered through the project monitoring and evaluation systems. There are no changes to the implementation arrangements. The AF scales up and restructures a well-performing project, which has been rated Satisfactory for implementation progress and development objectives since November 2013 (and Moderately Satisfactory between project inception and November 2013).
II. Background and Rationale for Additional Financing in the amount of US$66.7 million
3. Strategic context. Azerbaijan has made great strides in economic growth and poverty reduction during the last decade. However, while Azerbaijan has been very successful in reducing poverty—poverty declined from 49 percent in 2001 to 5 percent in 2014—pockets of poverty still remain. The poor remain vulnerable to economic shocks.
4. Azerbaijan is currently facing economic challenges due to falling oil prices. Low oil prices could make it more difficult for the government to continue to invest in pro-poor public investment and thus, affect the quality and coverage of infrastructure provision, including water supply and sanitation and local roads. Understanding this problem, the government continues to prioritize investments in infrastructure with the support of international financial institutions.
5. IDPs constitute one of the most vulnerable segments of the population in Azerbaijan. Approximately 7 percent (around 628,000 people) of Azerbaijan’s population is displaced—forced to leave their homes and places of origin in response to the armed conflict with Armenia—making it one of the countries with the highest share of IDPs in the population. This group is particularly affected by circumstance-driven inequalities and is overrepresented among the poor. The reasons for continued vulnerability of IDPs lie both in their precarious living conditions, an issue addressed by this parent project and by substantial other government investments, as well as in the lack of opportunities for IDPs to make a living. In many cases, IDPs do not have the skills to work in the urban areas where they have resettled. In other cases, IDPs do not have the land to be able to use skills in cattle-breeding and agriculture. In yet other cases, IDPs live in remote areas with no access to markets. These constraints need to be addressed to reduce the vulnerability of this population.
6. Performance of the parent project. The World Bank and the government of Azerbaijan (GoA) have been working in partnership to assist IDP communities in Azerbaijan since the post-conflict period in the mid-1990s when the Bank provided financing for the Pilot Reconstruction Project and the IDP Economic Development Support Project. The original IDP Living Standards and Livelihoods Project loan in the amount of US$50 million was approved by the Bank on October 27, 2011, and became effective on February 9, 2012. The project is currently on track to achieve its development objective through provision
2
of funds for demand-driven community microprojects, improving housing conditions of IDPs, livelihoods support activities, and building opportunities for rural employment.
7. Implementation of the project is rated Satisfactory. To date, the project has disbursed 90 percent of loan funds (US$45.1 million) out of the total IBRD loan of US$50 million. A total of 199,601 people have benefited from the project (out of which 50 percent are women). Under Component A, 196 communities have implemented microprojects through community-driven processes. Project indicators show that over 93 percent of beneficiaries now have access to all-weather roads (96.1 percent), 24-hour water (93.3 percent), 24-hour electricity (97.5 percent), and community centers (94 percent). Under Component B, 83 collective center renovations are complete or near completion, with an additional 20 in the pipeline, out of a total of 103 planned renovations. These beneficiaries have improved access to water (91.9 percent had access to water 24 hours per day) and electricity (99.9 percent had access to 24-hour electricity), and problems with dampness and humidity have been reduced for all but 12.7 percent of households. Under Component C, the livelihoods activities have been very effective across the subcomponents. All targeted youth (1,300) have graduated from or have participated in training programs; all income-generating groups (200 communities comprising 2,239 individuals) have been formed and have already received grants; and microloans are fully disbursed (1,608 direct beneficiaries). The impacts to date are very encouraging and, among beneficiaries who are earning an income, the average increase in monthly income is 43 percent. Microfinance activities also greatly support livelihoods in IDP communities, and the repayment rate on loans is currently 100 percent.
8. Under the current project, the target of ensuring the project benefits an equal number of male and female beneficiaries has been achieved (50 percent of beneficiaries are women). This reflects dedicated and sustained efforts to reach out to women specifically across all components; these efforts will be continued under the AF. The community-driven nature of the project also lends itself well to citizen engagement activities. All microprojects are selected as a result of community engagement, priority rankings, and development of a community action plan. Under the parent project, several indicators already ensure monitoring and progress on gender targets as well as community engagement activities, such as share of female beneficiaries for various subcomponents, beneficiary satisfaction with access to and quality of investments, and percentage of beneficiaries who feel able to influence development decisions.
9. Fiduciary aspects of the project are rated Satisfactory. Procurement administration is satisfactory and procurement activities are being implemented as planned. Issues raised by the Bank are quickly addressed and no known complaints have been brought to the Bank’s attention. Similarly, financial management (FM) and disbursement arrangements are satisfactory. The project is in compliance with FM covenants: the quarterly unaudited Interim Financial Reports (IFRs) and project audit are being submitted to the Bank on time and have been found to be satisfactory. In April 2015, the Bank FM and procurement teams conducted a joint review of post review contracts under the project and no deficiencies were noted. The project has also complied with environmental safeguards policies, although capacity to manage safeguards within the project was lacking over the past year. However, a full-time safeguards specialist has now been hired and capacity to manage and supervise safeguards is now satisfactory.
Rationale for Additional Financing
10. In a letter to the Bank dated December 11, 2015, the GoA requested AF for the project. An amount of US$50 million was initially requested; this was subsequently revised to US$66.7 million in the light of additional needs identified during the appraisal process. In response to this request, this loan will provide an additional US$66.7 million to the GoA and would extend the project for four additional years, until December 31, 2020. The amount of $66.7 million includes the full financing of project activities, and does not include the $11.83 million in taxes that will be funded directly by the GoA.

11. The proposed AF supports scaling-up of activities initiated under the original project. Various options were considered during the preparation phase to identify the best framework for meeting the development objectives and responding to the government’s request, including preparation of a new project, financing from the state budget, and the proposed AF. Preparation of a new project was not found justifiable or necessary given that the proposed additional activities are closely related to the ongoing activities and represent a natural continuation and scale-up of the ongoing project. The scale-up has been deemed necessary given the needs of vulnerable IDPs in Azerbaijan, especially their continued need for infrastructure and livelihoods support to improve their living standards.
12. Alignment with the Bank and government strategies. The AF is included in the Azerbaijan Country Partnership Framework (CPF) FY2015–20 (Report Number: 95860-AZ) and is fully consistent with the CPF Focus Area 1: Public Sector Management and Service Delivery as well as the CPF Focus Area 2: Economic Competitiveness. The project contributes directly to Objective 1.2: Support access to, and satisfaction with, public services; Objective 1.3: Improve access to water, sanitation, and communal services; and Objective 2.2: Support enhanced access to finance for micro, small, and medium enterprises. Azerbaijan’s development strategy, ‘Azerbaijan: Vision 2020’, specifically emphasizes the need to improve housing conditions and social infrastructure for IDPs and to enhance employment opportunities for them as one of the strategic priorities of the government.
13. The proposed AF is also well aligned with the Bank’s corporate agenda of reducing poverty and enhancing shared prosperity. The project will directly improve living standards and livelihoods of IDPs, a strata of society predominantly falling into the bottom 40 percent of population. Benefits would also accrue to non-IDP populations living in proximity to IDPs, who will use social and economic infrastructure provided by the project. The gains resulting from the project can hence become a powerful tool for alleviating poverty, improving job opportunities, and boosting the incomes of the bottom 40 percent.
III. Proposed Changes
Summary of Proposed Changes
The main changes proposed in the AF are (a) additional support to construct and/or rehabilitate physical infrastructure in new IDP housing areas; (b) providing funding to operate and maintain infrastructure financed by the project; (c) increasing the scope of livelihoods activities; and (d) supporting an impact evaluation. These activities contribute to the current objective of the project. There will be an effort to consolidate the geographic scope of activities to maximize synergies between project components.

Development Objective/Results PHHHDO
Project’s Development Objectives
Original PDO
The objective of the Project is to improve living conditions and increase the economic self-reliance of targeted internally displaced persons.
Change in Results Framework PHHCRF
Explanation:
The Results Framework has been updated to better capture the results of new activities as well as to improve the clarity of results of ongoing activities. Some indicators have been simplified, while some (that have not been yielding useful data) will be retired. The AF will fund a firm to carry out more complex monitoring and evaluation activities, which will also design and carry out an impact evaluation covering the AF period. Because of this, the method of data collection may vary for several existing indicators. To make it possible to assess the overall impact of the project, some data may therefore be collected in two different ways: once by existing methods and once by the consulting firm. Although this involves some additional expenses, this will make it possible to gauge results for the life of the project.
Compliance PHHHCompl
Change in Safeguard Policies Triggered PHHCSPT
Explanation:
Involuntary Resettlement - OP 4.12. In the AF, Component B will support multiple infrastructure investments in selected IDP settlements constructed by the government since 2005 (so-called ‘New Settlements’). Because this may lead to increased pressure on land in communities with little landavailability, the project will trigger OP 4.12 as part of the AF. Although state-owned land is expected to be available to municipalities for these investments, informal occupants or minor impacts upon livelihoods cannot be ruled out. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU), the Social Fund for the Development of IDPs (SFDI), has developed a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) that has been consulted and disclosed in-country and in the Operations Portal. The SFDI will screen proposed project investments for potential impacts covered under OP 4.12 and will prepare Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) where necessary.
5
International Waterways - OP 7.50. The project will support implementation of microprojects on water supply and sanitation systems for beneficiary communities. However, the scale of the investments will be limited and will mostly consist of rehabilitation and repair of existing infrastructure (ongoing schemes). Although new connections to existing water supply systems may occur for a limited number of new investments, these are not of a nature to have adverse impacts on the quality and quantity of water flows to riparian states. An exception from OP 7.50 had been issued by the Regional Vice President for Europe and Central Asia for the original project. As the AF will continue to support the investments of the same nature and scale, such exception for the AF was also issued on January 13, 2016.

Components PHHHCompo
Change to Components and Cost PHHCCC
Explanation:
The project will continue to have four components, with some changes made to each component as described below:
Component A: Microprojects (AF: US$16.5 million; parent project: US$15 million). This component will continue to finance demand-driven economic and social infrastructure investments in communities with a significant proportion of IDPs. Microprojects may include (a) repair or rehabilitation of physical infrastructure (for example, water supply, power supply, access roads, drainage systems) and (b) repair or rehabilitation of social infrastructure, such as schools and health centers. The component will also continue to finance community mobilization and outreach for micro-project proposal development. The key changes to component design are the following: (a) the component will expand in geographic scope and (b) while the ceiling for the value of infrastructure supported will remain at US$250,000, the SFDI board approval will be sought for projects above US$150,000. In the parent project, the ceiling for the SFDI board approval is US$100,000. Increasing the size of projects requiring board approval will help avoid delays resulting from a high volume of reviews and enable the board to focus on the largest investments. Community contributions will continue to be set at 3 percent of the total value for the component. Operations and maintenance (O&M) activities will be significantly strengthened under the AF as will community engagement throughout the subproject implementation cycle.
Component B: Housing Renovation and Social and Economic Infrastructure for IDP Settlements(Original Component Title: Housing Renovation. AF: US$22.53 million; parent project: US$33 million). Component B will undergo the most changes in scope during the AF stage. In the parent project, the component financed the renovation of IDP collective centers that were in a state of disrepair. The GoA, however, is now aiming to resettle a large number of people currently living in IDP collective centers to ‘New Settlements’ and has therefore asked for this component to change focus. The GoA will be financing the ‘New Settlements’ using other financing but has stated that there is a great need to rehabilitate social and economic infrastructure in the ‘New Settlements’ built before 2005. Component B under the AF will therefore finance multiple small to medium-size infrastructure investments in each of approximately 30 locations, as contrasted with Component A where only one investment is possible at any one time. While any community with a significant share of IDP population is eligible for Component A, under Component B, only investments in the ‘New Settlements’ are eligible for funding. Investments under Component B will include repair of social infrastructure (for example, schools, health care centers) and repair of other physical infrastructure (for example, access roads, water supply). Selection will be based on an infrastructure needs assessment analyzing (a) the extent of infrastructure needs in each settlement and (b) whether addressing
9
specific infrastructure needs is likely to promote economic development. During project implementation, the SFDI will create or revitalize community groups, present to them the assessment of infrastructure needs in their community, and then, help them develop a final priority list of infrastructure investments to be supported by the project. Although communities will be part of the process of defining the final list of infrastructure, investments will be selected from a needs assessment generated menu, contrary to Component A where communities self-select microprojects.
Component B will also finance ongoing O&M of all infrastructure supported by the project. In parallel, this component will also provide technical assistance and training to strengthen the GoA’s capacity to operate and maintain IDP-focused infrastructure, including all investments financed under the project. The inclusion of these new activities is based on lessons learned during the implementation of the parent project, where maintenance that took place was not of optimal quality.
Component C: Livelihood Support (AF: US$20 million; parent project: US$11 million). This existing component will be scaled up and expanded geographically. Targeting for the component will also be modified to be more integrated with Components A and B—the component will specifically target communities benefitting from infrastructure investments. In addition, a new subcomponent will be added to Component C that will focus on providing integrated economic support to beneficiaries. The component will,therefore, comprise four subcomponents: (a) Youth Training and Business Development; (b) Income Generating Activities; (c) Provision of Microcredit for IDPs; and (d) (new) Integrative Economic Support Pilot. Activities under each subcomponent are as follows:
(a) Youth Training and Business Development: This subcomponent will continue to provide skills training (technical and computer skills) to young people. The subcomponent supports skills training graduates with tools that allow them to start income generating activities. To promote integration of IDPs into host communities and expand business opportunities, an annual youth workshop will be organized to bring together beneficiaries of the project with other youth entrepreneurs from around the country for mutual learning and exchange.
(b) Income Generating Activities: This subcomponent will continue to support vulnerable IDPs to form groups to carry out income generating activities. Income generation groups that have been successful in developing activities with previous project financing will also be encouraged to apply for a second round of support, which can finance groups to add value to their products or to be able to benefit from more complex technology for income generation.
(c) Provision of Microcredit for IDPs: Microfinance institutions that carry out activities under this subcomponent currently select IDP and non-IDP beneficiaries (80 percent IDP) to receive up to US$3,000 per group or US$1,000 per individual in initial microfinance funds to be used toward productive business activities. The repayment rate for these microloans is currently 100 percent, which indicates both that microfinance institutions have been able to successfully select viable enterprises as well as that there is scope to encourage microfinance institutions to take greater risk by targeting more vulnerable individuals. Under the AF, this subcomponent will focus increasingly on vulnerable individuals. Microfinance institutions will be required to ensure that at least 50 percent of the recipients of microloans have not received a loan in the past, and that they have an annual income that does not exceed US$1,200. Additional technical advice on micro and small businessdevelopment will be offered to these vulnerable loan takers to ensure sound utilization of loans and promote business development. About 80 percent of recipients of microloans will continue to be IDPs. These changes are expected to significantly increase the poverty reduction impacts of this subcomponent, which although currently performing well, may not be benefitting the core target group for this project.
10
(d) Integrative Economic Support Pilot: This subcomponent will work in the ‘New Settlements’supported under Component B and will provide beneficiaries’ access to integrated economic support. Under this subcomponent, residents of the ‘New Settlements’ will be eligible to apply for training and business development support to benefit from income generating activities and the beneficiaries of these two activities will also be eligible to receive microcredit. This pilot will be carefully evaluated to make it possible to see whether integrated support significantly boosts income generation and sustainability of livelihoods.
Component D: Project Management, Implementation Support, and Capacity Building (AF: US$7.5 million; parent project: US$7 million). This component will finance project management and capacity building as well as monitoring and evaluation activities. The only change expected under this component is the financing of an impact evaluation. Currently, the project has successfully gathered data on outputs, but there are indications that broader outcomes and impacts of the project are not being successfully captured. Because of this, a firm will be competitively selected to carry out an impact evaluation. The firm hired to carry out this evaluation will also take over some of the more complex monitoring and evaluation activities currently carried out by the PIU, also making it possible for the PIU staff currently carrying out these activities to focus on other aspects of project implementation.
The following breakdown does not include the front-end fee of US$166,750. (Note: The actual total cost for the infrastructure support to IDP communities component is US$22,533,250, rounded to US$22.53 million).

Appraisal Summary PHHHAppS
Economic and Financial Analysis PHHASEFA
Explanation: The analysis carried out for the preparation of this AF indicates significant positive economic and financial impacts over a period of 15 years. The summary of the analysis is as follows:
Component A: The overall costs of Component A are US$36.31 million. The component will benefit 314,401 IDPs and host community residents. In its most likely scenario, and including the AF, the net present value of Component A is expected to be US$122.65 million.
Component B: The overall costs of Component B are US$64.77 million. The component will benefit 73,717 people. Under the parent project, the net present value of Component B was calculated to be negative, at −US$19.89 million. However, once the AF activities are added, the net present value of this component rises to US$20.12 million.
Component C: The overall costs of Component C are US$39.92 million. The component will benefit 16,233 people. The net present value of Component C is US$216.15 million under the most likely scenario.
Overall, under the most likely scenario, the project’s net present value is US$393.95 million.
The sensitivity analysis carried out found that changes in +/−10 percent of the value of only three assumptions led to a change in net present value of over 5 percent. The same change in other assumptions rendered a change of less than 4 percent (not critical).
The full economic and financial analysis is included in the project file.
Technical Analysis PHHASTA
Explanation:
Systems are currently being strengthened under the parent project to boost the quality of construction, supervision, and O&M of infrastructure investments. These systems will continue to ensure the quality and sustainability of infrastructure supported by the project during the AF stage.
Social Analysis PHHASSA
Explanation:
OP/BP 4.12 - Involuntary Resettlement is triggered on a precautionary basis as the type and location of new project activities under Component B are not yet known, and the type and scale of civil works and land acquisition are still to be determined. An RPF has, therefore, been prepared and RAPs will be prepared as needed. To mitigate social risks and help improve project outcomes, the AF places renewed emphasis on participatory decision making, beneficiary feedback mechanisms, and entry points for citizen engagement.
Environmental Analysis PHHASEnvA
Explanation:
The environmental due diligence procedures and processes envisaged under the original Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), will remain relevant for the scope of AF. However, the
12
ESMF has been updated to accommodate extended geographical coverage and address anticipated impacts of new income generating activities proposed under the AF.
Risk PHHASRisk
Explanation:
The overall risk rating for the project is Moderate. It remains unchanged from the parent project. Despite the recent devaluation of the New Azerbaijani Manat, strong support from the GoA for livelihoods and employment will help ensure continued investments into this sector. The parent project implementation has also been rated as Satisfactory for over two years and the AF builds on the successful experience of this project. The implementation review of the parent project indicates that the maintenance that took place was not of optimal quality. Component B will therefore also finance ongoing O&M of all infrastructure supported by the project and provide technical assistance and training to strengthen the GoA’s capacity to operate and maintain IDP-focused infrastructure.
IV. Appraisal Summary
A. Economic Analysis
14. An analysis carried out as part of preparation of this AF indicates significant positive economic and financial impacts. As part of the analysis, the project costs were identified and these were compared to the expected benefits of investments over a period of 15 years, starting in 2013, when parent project activities began and ending in 7 years after the completion of activities under the AF. The analysis used existing project monitoring and evaluation data and other project records to determine actual project costs, identify actual accrued benefits from 2013 to 2015, and then, make assumptions about other benefits that are linked to project activities. The key assumptions applied to the analysis include the following:
A 6 percent discount rate
Income generated and savings would grow at a rate of 10 percent. (This assumption comes from the 18 percent compound average growth rate of income in Azerbaijan between 2004 to 2014, as reported by the State Statistical Committee (http://www.stat.gov.az), and the fact that the interest rate of savings saved as deposits is between 10–12 percent.)
15. The results of the analysis are as follows:
Component A: The overall costs of Component A are US$36.31 million. The component will benefit 314,401 IDPs and host community residents over 15 years. Benefits of this component accrue because of time savings, lower travel costs, lower repair costs, and improved health resulting from infrastructure investments. In its most likely scenario, and including the AF, the net present value of Component A is expected to be US$122.65 million.
Component B: The overall costs of Component B are US$64.77 million. The component will benefit 73,717 people over 15 years. Calculations for Component B differ for the parent project, which funded the renovation of collective centers, and for Component B under the AF, which funds infrastructure investments in the ‘New Settlements.’ Under the parent project, the net present value of Component B was calculated to be negative, at −US$19.89 million. This is because IDPs in collective centers are mostly economically inactive, so savings in time do not bring about economic benefits, and because savings in the cost of energy or water do not accrue for this population, as these IDPs do not pay for utilities. However, once the AF activities are added, the net present value of this component rises to
13
US$20.12 million. This was calculated using the same assumptions as for Component A because infrastructure investments are likely to bring about similar benefits to those living in mixed communities or in the ‘New Settlements.’
Component C: The overall costs of Component C are US$39.92 million. The component will benefit 16,233 people over 15 years. For this component, there are three additional important assumptions: (a) a 30 percent increase in assets for those making a living from livestock, (b) a 30 percent increase in income for income generation groups, and (c) a 25 percent increase in income for microcredits. These assumptions are expected to be conservative because the project monitoring data indicates that the income generation groups saw their income rise by 43 percent and beneficiaries of microcredits saw their income rise by 52.9 percent. More modest assumptions would not make sense as the income generated for both income generation groups and microcredit beneficiaries come mainly from livestock, which increase incrementally. The more conservative estimate for microloans comes from the potential effect of the credit burden on increases in income. The assumption for the skills development subcomponent is that the AF will achieve the same results as the parent project. Using these assumptions, the net present value of Component C will be US$216.15 million under the most likely scenario.

Direct beneficiaries of microprojects having access to project's products are considered as a project community (this can be part of the village, not necessarily the whole village if not reached by the project resources). *** The project also bears administrative (management) costs (US$8.42 million under the parent project and US$7.50 under the AF), which are not included under the Components A, B and C.
17. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine what would happen if key assumptions were not to hold true. The net present value changed over 5 percent only for three assumptions, when 10 percent was added to or subtracted from them. The same change in other assumptions rendered a change of less than 4 percent (not critical).

18. The analysis also points out that the AF contributes 62 percent to the project benefits in the most likely scenario. In addition, the effect of AF covers only 11 years (15 years minus 4 years of the current project). The benefits of the project would be higher if calculated for an additional 4 years due to impact of incremental growth.
19. Finally, the analysis points to unquantified potential benefits. Increases in growth and profits of businesses as an effect of improved access to 24-hour electricity, water, and road infrastructure have not been calculated and neither have the impacts of improved schools and kindergarten facilities on learning of children, and consequently, better productivity in the labor market, and so on. Quantifying these benefits would increase the value of the project as well.
B. Technical
20. Systems are currently being strengthened under the parent project to boost the quality of construction, supervision, and O&M of infrastructure investments. These systems will continue to ensure the quality and sustainability of infrastructure supported by the project during the AF stage. This is essential considering the large number of infrastructure subprojects expected to take place during the AF.
21. Technical scope of works. By the close of the current loan agreement, the project will have financed more than 196 microprojects that support the living standards of IDPs, particularly those living in rural areas of the country. The AF will support an additional 200 microprojects under Component A and approximately 120 investments in 30 or so ‘New Settlements’ under Component B. These investments will mainly consist of rehabilitation works but may also include some new construction. In the past, microproject types have included roads (and accompanying drainage structures), potable water facilities, schools and kindergartens, community centers, health points, irrigation facilities and on-grid electricity facilities. Similar projects are expected to be financed in the AF, with the caveat that Component B projects are more likely to be larger in scale and that economic infrastructure (roads, irrigation, energy) is more likely to be financed. The AF will also allocate funds for O&M of infrastructure supported under the project, which will require some technical supervision.
22. Technical staffing. A technical team within the SFDI will oversee all planning and engineering aspects of the project. The technical team will be headed by a senior technical manager reporting directly to the deputy director. A senior technical specialist will report to the senior technical manager and will supervise four regional technical coordinators (based outside of Baku) as well as the appraisal team. The regional technical coordinators will be responsible for the work of site supervision engineers, who will in turn be responsible for quality of civil works and work zone safety. Together, the team will be responsible for overseeing the individual project feasibility studies, the design process, tendering of works contracts, and civil works. The team will also be responsible for implementing comprehensive O&M strategies for all socioeconomic infrastructure supported by the project.
23. Contracting. To ensure technical quality, the tendering process will involve the development of detailed bills of quantity that specify work needs and performance expectations to the greatest extent
15
possible. Each contract will have a minimum six-month defects and liability clause, which will be leveraged by using an initial punch list inspection before the release of the 95th percentile payment, a three month inspection once the asset is in service, and a final inspection before the final payment and release of any bank guarantees.
C. Financial Management
24. The current project has a strongly performing PIU, and the AF proposes to use the same implementation, procurement, and FM arrangements. The proposed AF would not require changes in the FM arrangements. The FM functions under the proposed AF, including flow of funds, staffing, accounting, reporting, and auditing, will remain under the responsibility of the PIU at the SFDI, as under the parent project. FM arrangements of the parent project have been reviewed periodically as part of project supervision and have been found satisfactory. The last implementation support mission, including FM review, was held in April 2015. Sound internal control procedures are in place. The client is in compliance with the FM covenants: unaudited IFRs have been submitted on a regular and timely basis, the project audit reports have been received by their due date, and the auditor has given an unqualified opinion on the project financial statements with no serious internal control issues in the management letters. The overall FM risk for the project remains Moderate.
25. Audit arrangements similar to the arrangements under the parent project will be adopted for the proposed AF. The audit will be conducted by an independent private auditor in accordance with terms of reference acceptable to the Bank and procured by the PIU. The current format and components of the project financial statements will remain the same. The annual audited project financial statements will be submitted to the Bank within six months after the end of each reporting period. The audited financial statements will be posted on the SFDI website within one month of the receipt of audited reports from the auditor. In addition, following the Bank’s formal receipt of the financial statements from the recipient, the Bank will make them available to the public in accordance with the Bank Policy on Access to Information for Bank-financed operations. The cost of the audit will be financed from the proceeds of the loan. Project management oriented unaudited IFRs will be used for the proposed AF monitoring and supervision. The existing IFR formats will be used and the PIU will produce a full set of IFRs every quarter throughout the life of the project and will submit them to the Bank no later than 45 days after the calendar quarter end.
26. Disbursement. The proposed AF will follow the flow of funds and disbursement arrangements established under the original project, that is, reimbursement, direct payment, advances, and special commitments, including the use of Statement of Expenditure procedures. A separate designated account for IBRD funds under the AF loan will be opened in a commercial bank on terms and conditions acceptable to IBRD. It was agreed to set the Ceiling of Advances to the designated account at US$6 million to ensure quick and efficient disbursements for the proposed AF.
D. Procurement
27. Procurement risk assessment. A procurement assessment carried out by the Bank’s procurement specialist found three potential risks: (a) the procurement environment may be affected by problems related to governance and corruption; (b) as the project involves participation of communities in Component C, addressing procurement issues at that level may be challenging due to lack of capacity among communities; and (c) procurement capacity might not be sufficient to accommodate new packages under the AF.
28. Risk mitigation. The following measures were agreed to mitigate the remaining risks and maintain the implementing team’s capacity. The project procurement risk following application of mitigation measures is Moderate. Risk mitigation measures were discussed with the SFDI during project appraisal and it was agreed that they will be included in the project Operational Manual (OM).
16
(a) The procurement section of the OM will be updated by the SFDI to meet the specific needs of the new project, which, among other things, will elaborate on the roles and responsibilities in the management and coordination of the procurement process, including procurement arrangements regarding community participation in procurement, preparation of terms of reference and technical specifications, evaluation, establishment and appointment of evaluation committees, conflict of interest mitigation measures, record keeping, contract management, a complaint handling mechanism, and so on.
(b) The Bank’s procurement specialist assigned to the project will provide the team with a full set of the most recent procurement documents, including but not limited to Procurement and Consultant Guidelines, standard and sample bidding documents, proposal, evaluation report documents, and so on.
(c) The SFDI will hire an additional procurement assistant with adequate experience in procurement in the Bank-financed projects. The assistant will be hired on a full-time basis for maintaining and further streamlining procurement transactions under the upcoming project. The selection will be based on procedures outlined in the Consultant Guidelines.
E. Social (including Safeguards)
29. The social impacts of the project are expected to be positive. The project will improve community infrastructure and services for IDPs through microprojects targeting urgent basic needs and its livelihood support component, which will also be expected to contribute to improved living standards for beneficiaries.
30. Safeguards. OP/BP 4.12 - Involuntary Resettlement is triggered on a precautionary basis as the type and location of new project activities under Component B are not yet known, and the type and scale of civil works and land acquisition are still to be determined. This would likely occur on publicly owned land but might entail private land acquisition. An RPF has, therefore, been prepared and will be followed by all project activities. The RPF was consulted with stakeholders and disclosed publicly, in-country on the SFDI website on December 18, 2015, and through the Bank’s Operations Portal on January 4, 2016. Site-specific RAPs will be prepared and implemented before commencement of works at any site where resettlement, land use, or acquisition is required. Potential impacts are limited to Component B since, as was the case under the parent project, under Component A, no microprojects that involve land acquisition (permanent or temporary) or resettlement will be approved, and no civil works are planned under Components C and D. Screening is carried out for all physical investments to ensure impacts covered under OP 4.12 are identified. As the SFDI does not have significant experience with oversight of OP/BP 4.12 (Involuntary Resettlement), additional capacity has been retained for the project in the form of a dedicated full-time safeguards consultant (combining environmental and social safeguards) and safeguards will be closely supervised and supported by the Bank.
31. Citizen engagement. To mitigate social risks and help improve project outcomes, the AF places renewed emphasis on participatory decision making, beneficiary feedback mechanisms, and entry points for citizen engagement in the current project. The OM will be updated by effectiveness to reflect the lessons learned to date. Key changes include the following:
(a) Community consultations to determine the priority microprojects will be conducted, wherever possible, separately with women and men, and reports will include the priority rankings of both groups. Communities will be eligible to apply for more than one microproject to ensure potentially different needs are met. Furthermore, proposed microprojects will also need to demonstrate proactive steps to ensure inclusion of the elderly, youth, and people living with a disability in the consultation process (for example, at times and in forms and places that
17
enable participation). Proposed investments should include measures to facilitate access of people with limited mobility and/or with a disability, where relevant.
(b) The periodic surveys measuring impact will include open-ended questions to capture feedback on the project as a whole and on the relevant specific investment/subcomponent in particular.
(c) The existing grievance redress mechanism (GRM) will further be strengthened and its use as a monitoring tool systematized. Questions, comments, and complaints will continue to be proactively collected during interactions with communities and beneficiaries under all components. These will be centrally analyzed by a dedicated staff member within the SFDI to facilitate monitoring of the project and the reporting back to communities regarding the impact of their feedback. For example, the GRM will be aggregated at the project level and quarterly reports shared with beneficiaries through the SFDI website and through leaflets during community mobilization activities.
(d) A communication strategy will be developed to systematize the ongoing and planned outreach activities and ensure these are tailored to the needs and interests of different stakeholder groups. This includes mechanisms for two-way communications (for example, web portal, brochures with contact details, and information about the GRM) and for closing the feedback loop (that is, reporting back on the result of feedback to beneficiaries).
32. Gender. The efforts to ensure effective participation of women in the decision-making process and access to the benefits of the project will be continued. Overall, women represent 50 percent of total project beneficiaries (breakdown by component is 50.4 percent, 47.2 percent, and 56.5 percent for Components A, B, and C respectively). Opportunities to further improve the gender sensitivity of the project were identified during a workshop with the SFDI and implementing partners, through the preparatory studies (on Component B and livelihoods), through a report on Gender and Sustainable Livelihoods that focused on providing recommendations to this project, and through consultations with beneficiaries themselves. Gender norms and gendered structural inequalities were identified that prevent women from benefitting equally from the project. Key areas that the project will support to address these inequalities include (a) systematic and meaningful participation of women in community consultations across all components; (b) strengthening of female role-model and leadership roles in community consultations and livelihood activities; and (c) specific support to female entrepreneurs as part of the microfinance subcomponent. Credit unions will have to demonstrate that lack of collateral is not a hindrance to lending to women and a target of 20 percent of loans going to women has been set. To facilitate monitoring of gender impacts, all indicators are disaggregated by gender whenever possible as part of the project quarterly reports, as well as in key indicators related to participation as part of the Results Framework.
F. Environment
33. The environmental aspects of the original project have been governed by the provisions of the ESMF. The environmental due diligence procedures and processes envisaged under the original ESMF will remain relevant to the scope of AF. However, the ESMF has been updated to accommodate extended geographical coverage and address anticipated impacts of new income generating activities proposed under the AF. The updated ESMF has been redisclosed in selected locations of the project area and on the SFDI website on January 5, 2016. The detailed minutes of public consultation meetings have been duly recorded and enclosed in the updated ESMF.
34. The capacity of the SFDI PIU has been recently reinforced though hiring a full-time designated safeguards specialist who will be responsible for ensuring proper environmental and social management of the project and will undertake regular monitoring and reporting to PIU management and the Bank.
18
G. Implementation Arrangements
35. Implementation arrangements during the AF will stay the same. However, small changes will be made to staffing to improve the clarity of roles and the quality of supervision. During the AF, the staffing structure will be as follows:
SFDI’s director will have overall authority over project activities and be supported by a deputy director.
A chief accountant and a senior technical coordinator will report directly to the deputy director.
A procurement team, consisting of a deputy manager for procurement and two assistants, will report to the deputy director.
A senior technical specialist will report to the senior technical coordinator and will supervise four regional technical coordinators (based outside of Baku) as well as the appraisal team. Two additional senior manager positions will be created, reporting to the deputy director: (a) A senior community mobilization manager will be responsible for information sharing, community mobilization, monitoring and evaluation, and safeguards activities and (b) a senior livelihoods manager will be responsible for implementation of all activities under Component C. Four regional community mobilization coordinators will report to the senior community mobilization manager and will be responsible for supervising all nontechnical aspects of the project.
V. World Bank Grievance Redress
36. Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a Bank supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level GRMs or the Bank’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed to address project-related concerns. Project affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the Bank’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of Bank’s noncompliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the Bank's attention and the Bank management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the Bank’s corporate GRS, please visit http://www.worldbank.org/GRS. For information on how to submit complaints to the Bank’s Inspection Panel, please visit www.inspectionpanel.org.
