A. Summary of Proposed Changes

This Restructuring Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to restructure the first phase of the

Niger Basin Water Resources Development and Sustainable Ecosystems Management Program

(NB/WRDSEMP-APL 1). A Level 1 restructuring is requested to: (i) change the PDO to reduce the scope

of the project; (ii) allow formal triggering of the Pest Management Operational Policy 4.09 (OP 4.09); (iii)

reallocate available funds to activities that contribute directly to the achievement of the restructured PDO;

(iv) cancel activities under components 1, 2 and 3 that are no longer relevant or financed by other donors

and; (v) stagger closing dates up until 2017 to enable each of the five beneficiary countries (i.e., Benin,

Guinea, Mali, Niger and Nigeria) to complete remaining key activities.

B. Project Status

The project was approved on July 03, 2007, became effective on November 01, 2007 and started its

activities in December 2007 and faced a level 2 restructuring that extended the project closing date from

January 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014. During the period ending January 31, 2013, the disbursement rate

reached 26.10% and the project implementation was rated moderately unsatisfactory. This situation was

mainly due to: (i) poor quality of some studies conducted leading to lengthy revisions; (ii) contractual

delays combined with the need to establish adapted specifications and assemble major electromechanical

parts for the hydropower plants at Kainji and Jebba; (iii) two years after the commencement of the

Program, Environmental and Social Impacts Assessments including a social evaluation had to be

conducted for all Program activities in order to comply with World Bank operational policies; (iv) long

duration to provide no objections needed prior to commencement of some studies and works contracts and

addenda related to some contracts; and (v) long duration taken to issue some Letters of Credit and the

signing of contracts by some beneficiary countries where national procedures were applied with regard to

the approval of the financial agreements.

To date, all of these issues have been addressed and almost all major contracts have been signed and

implementation is ongoing, boosting the disbursement rate as presented below. In effect, since the last

Implementation Status Report (ISR) dated November 2014, the project rating is Moderately Satisfactory

and is on track towards achieving its objectives. The implementation of some contracts and remaining key

activities, however, cannot be completed before the targeted closing date of December 31, 2014 and the

balance to be paid for ongoing contracts is estimated at US$45 million.

Disbursement

The disbursement level, as of October 31, 2014, was 68.71 percent. The disbursement rate was 42.84

percent as of December 31, 2013, that is an increase of about 26 percentage points from January to

October 2014. This performance in disbursement is due to the delivery of the equipment for the major

contract (KR1A) which was signed in June 2011 for the rehabilitation of production units 5, 6 & 12 and

auxiliary equipment of Kainji Hydropower Plant representing about 68 percent of the total cost of WRD-

SEM APL 1.

Safeguards

The Program complies with all triggered safeguard policies; the rating is Satisfactory in the last ISR dated

November 2014. Since the project was approved, twenty seven (27) ESIAs and five (5) RAPs have been

prepared, consulted upon, cleared by the Bank and disclosed in-country and at the InfoShop. This

6

demonstrates the strong capacities and skills on safeguards of both project coordination unit and the

implementing agencies in the five beneficiary countries. The mid-term review of the environmental and

social safeguards confirmed that environmental and social safeguards had been adequately addressed.

Given, however, that the project will rehabilitate 680 hectares of irrigation in Niger and will develop at

least 4250 hectares of new irrigation in Benin, Guinea and Mali, this restructuring proposes that the Pest

Management OP 4.09 be triggered, in addition to the existing safeguards policies that have already been

triggered. The initial 2007 ESMF refers explicitly to overall pest management framework in the borrowing

countries. Four (4) borrowing countries: Benin, Niger, Mali and Guinea have prepared national Pest

Management Plans (PMP) during project implementation that were audited, found satisfactory by the

Bank, and subsequently disclosed at the Infoshop and in the concerned countries in 2012. Since the PMPs

were already prepared, this triggering in the documentation is overdue and will bring it up-to-date with the

activities on the ground. There is no need for Nigeria to prepare a PMP.

Procurement and financial management

Procurement and financial management were rated Satisfactory in the last ISR dated November 2014,

since all issues raised above under this section (B) are addressed and almost all major contracts are signed

and implementation is ongoing on all components. In addition, a strengthening of the procurement staff

capacities, a close follow-up of National Implementing Agencies by the Project Management and

Coordination Unit (WRDSEM/PMCU) and the World Bank, combined with the celerity in no objection

issuance by the World Bank in 2014 enabled achievement of a good performance in procurement and

financial management.

However, despite all of this good progress in the current year, implementation of many activities will not

be completed before the current closing date of December 31, 2014.

Progress to date

Progress to date can be summarized as follows:

a. Under component 1 (NBA institutional strengthening and capacity building), there has been

significant progress in enacting the required legislation and institutional structure essential for regional

cooperation. Two out of four of the legal instruments have been obtained: the Water Charter has been

effective since July 2010 and the Council of Ministers (CoM) of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA)

approved the first Annex of the Charter in September 2011. The Panel of Experts (PoE) has been

operational since September 2011. The PoE for dam safety and for environmental and social aspects have

already initiated the review of the Kandadji Program, which includes the construction of the Kandadji dam

in Niger. Progress on the Water Charter in a basin with multiple riparians such as the Niger Basin

represents a breakthrough in terms of regional cooperation. The monthly and annual water resources

information database is operational; monthly reports are published on NBA website. The Permanent Water

Committee has been established and meetings planned for 2015 and 2016.

b. Under component 2 (Rehabilitation, optimization and development of regional infrastructure): in

Nigeria, the contract for the rehabilitation of the Kainji hydropower plant (which represents 68 percent of

the total cost of WRD-SEM APL 1) was signed in June 2011. Due to the aforementioned delays, full

rehabilitation of the hydropower plant is expected to be completed by mid-June, 2015. At Jebba the

production capacity has been reinforced by the rehabilitation of the main spillway discharge channel and

grouting of auxiliary dam No. 3; regarding the monitoring equipment for the dam, the procurement is

ongoing. A one year period is requested for the observance of the operation of the units during the

performance guarantee period. Preparatory studies for the Zungeru dam were funded by the Federal

Republic of Nigeria and have been completed. In its stead, the Government has requested the support for

7

the preparation of a hydropower Master Plan of part of the Niger basin located in Nigeria which is about

to start and is expected to span a total of 16 months duration. The proposed plan will provide Nigeria with

an essential tool to rationally diversify energy generation and reduce carbon emissions.

The Kandadji studies were prepared earlier by other development partners. Under this component, the

updated safeguard documents have progressed more rapidly than expected and are completed. This

enabled the World Bank to fund the Kandadji Dam Program in Niger through the second phase of WRD-

SEM APL 2A, for an amount of US$255 million.

In Guinea, political problems that occurred after the transition interrupted the bidding process for the

Feasibility and Design studies of the Fomi multipurpose dam, which forced a rebidding of the contract.

More recently, Guinea and Mali officially decided to join forces on this important multipurpose project.

This culminated in a rethinking and broadening of key sections of the Terms of Reference (ToRs) to

enhance the regional dimension. The Fomi project, through the water regulation capacity it provides in the

upper Niger River, is one of the most critical infrastructures as established in the Sustainable Development

Action Plan developed by the Niger Basin Authority. It can unlock significant irrigation potential in Mali

(over 200,000 ha) and provide power to the West African regional power grid in addition to serving an

energy poor region of Guinea. It is yet a highly complex project that requires: high quality studies and an

exemplary inclusive decision making process, including on financing aspects. This is one of the main

objectives of the US$7.5 million TA financed by the CIWA trust fund that will be brought to the board in

January 2015.

In Mali, the update of preparatory studies for Taoussa dam has been undertaken by other development

partners and, it no longer requires WRDSEMP-APL 1 funding.

c. Under component 3 (Sustainable management of selected degraded ecosystems and rehabilitation

of small water infrastructure), although all activities in Niger under this component are making good

progress, some activities remain: the remedial additional works for the Djamballa irrigated scheme; the

rehabilitation and development of twenty-two (22) nursery gardens; and the fish stocking of ponds. In

Mali, good results have been achieved especially on mechanical protection works in Sofara and

Gnimitongo, as well as in terms of the development of bourgou crops and the purchase of fishing

equipment. The remaining works to be completed in Mali are the development of 2,366 ha of the

Djambacourou plain for controlled immersion agriculture; the development of 5 ha of Djambacourou

women gardens; and the development of traditional fisheries. The results registered in Benin are related to

the development of agro forestry encompassing over 1,085 ha including Income Generating Activities

(IGA) and small irrigated schemes over 1,500 ha. The remaining activities include: the rehabilitation of

seven (7) small dams and the development of 700 ha of fragile zones upstream of the seven rehabilitated

dams. Civil works in Benin and Mali have been delayed due to the need to conduct Environment and

Social Impact Assessments (EISAs) and Social Evaluations (SEs). In Guinea, works, comprising the

development of 500 ha of agro forestry and 450 ha of lowlands at Faranah and Kissidougou, have started

and are ongoing. However, these works could be subject to delays due to the outbreak of the Ebola

epidemic.

Since some of the WRD-SEM APL 1 activities will not be completed by the December 2014 closing date,

beneficiary countries have expressed their desire to extend the current closing date and to reallocate

available funds; that to allow them to achieve key remaining activities after cancellation of some without

significant impact on the revised PDO.

Development Objectives/Results

Project Development Objectives

Original PDO

The project development objective is to achieve a sustainable increase in the overall productivity of

existing water resources to foster economic development in selected countries of the Niger River Basin.

Change in Project's Development Objectives

Explanation

The rationale for the revision of the PDO is to respond to the need to reduce the scope of the project to

ensure a good link between the project target indicators, achievements and activities.

Proposed New PDO

The (new) WRD-SEM APL 1 Development Objective is: to enhance regional coordination and improve

water resources management in the Niger River Basin.

Change in Results Framework

Explanation:

A new Result Framework for WRD-SEM APL and a revised Results Framework for WRD-SEM APL1 are

presented in the Restructuring Paper.

Revision of the triggers for Phase 2 of the WRD-SEM APL. After four years of implementation of the

WRD-SEM APL, significant progress have been made to facilitate regional cooperation (for example,

implementation of the Water Charter) and the Kandadji Program in Niger has progressed rapidly and

therefore advancing the commencement of WRD-SEM APL 2A, which is related to the IDA contribution

to the Kandadji Program in Niger.

The rationale for adjusting the triggers as part of the restructuring is to ensure that they are relevant to the

overall program, including aligning the remaining triggers to restructuring proposals for phase 2 activities.

As originally designed, WRD-SEM APL has four institutional triggers and one technical trigger, which

must be met before moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2.

The four institutional triggers are: (i) the adoption of a Niger Basin regional environmental code by

riparian countries (Achieved); (ii) the finalization of the Niger Basin Water Charter (Achieved); (iii) the

creation of a Permanent Water Commission (Achieved); and (iv) the development and adoption of the

legal instruments for the joint management and optimization of large infrastructure, dispute resolution and

arbitrage enforcement by riparian countries (On-going).

The technical trigger is that the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) has met the expected output

in terms of availability of the rehabilitated units 5, 6, and 12 of Kainji power plant (Expected to be

achieved by April 2015).

For the WRD-SEM APL 2A, only the first three institutional triggers are relevant and they have been met.

The last institutional trigger will be required only when the three envisaged dams in the Niger Basin -

Kandadji, Niger; Taoussa, Mali; and Fomi, Guinea and related infrastructure are operational. The technical

9

trigger relates only to Nigeria and so is not relevant for the WRD-SEM APL 2A under preparation.

Compliance

Change in Safeguard Policies Triggered

Explanation:

The project remains classified as Category A (full assessment). The supervision mission in May 2012

confirmed that WRD-SEM APL 1 is compliant with all triggered safeguards policies. However, based on

activities to be conducted in irrigation and agriculture, the Pest Management safeguard (OP 4.09) is

triggered for the remainder of the WRD-SEM APL 1. Pest Management Plans were prepared and disclosed

in 2012: in Guinea (29/08/2012), Mali (23/08/2012), Niger (16/01/2012) and Benin (28/08/2012).

The PAD under Annex 10 on safeguards mentions respectively in Paragraphs 16 & 23 that “a Strategic

Regional Environment Assessment (SREA) and preliminary Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) will be

prepared as part of the Energy Option Assessment to be undertaken under Component 2 during Project

implementation” & “The Project will finance a Strategic Regional Environment Assessment (SREA) and

preliminary RAPs for the Niger River Basin to identify a priority investment plan acceptable by all major

stakeholders. This priority ranking will be based on technical, economic, social, and environment

screening and ranking criteria. In this first phase Project, there will be no environmental and social impacts

from this option assessment and planning process.

Meanwhile, this scope of work was conducted before under the SDAP and the Investment Program of the

Niger Basin Authority by other donors and these studies have been planned in the PAD (WRD-SEM APL

1) to be updated in order to meet international standards to enable the funding of WRD-SEM APL 2 by the

Partners (i.e. when the IDA contribution to an investment is confirmed and the Bank procedures applies).

was undertaken.

Sub Component 3.B: Rehabilitation and Extension of small irrigation schemes

Rehabilitation of three irrigation schemes in Niger: (a) Rehabilitation of the irrigation scheme of Kourani

(Cancelled); (b) Rehabilitation of the irrigation scheme of Son-Lossa Kokomani (Cancelled). Technical,

environmental and social studies were conducted under the project while civil works for these activities

were finalized by the Emergency Program for Food Security funded by the World Bank due to lack of

funding available under the project.

Development of small irrigation schemes in Benin (Modified). This activity increased to 1 500 hectares

from 250 hectares.

Sub Component 3.C: Support the development of traditional fisheries

Promote sustainable fishing practices and fish production processing (Modified). (a) The number of fish

pools and fish-farming ponds in Mali were reduced to 120 pools and 20 fish farming ponds due to limited

funding available.

Explanation:

In Niger, additional twelve (12) months are required to achieve the remaining activities comprising:

remedial additional works for the Djamballa 689 hectares irrigated scheme; rehabilitation and development

of twenty-one (21) nursery gardens; and stock fish in 15 ponds to produce 80 tons of fish.

In Benin, additional eighteen (18) months are required to complete remaining activities including the

rehabilitation of seven (7) small dams for which the environmental and social impact assessments were

just completed; the development of 700 hectares of small irrigated schemes (in addition to the 800 hectares

already completed to reach the target of 1,500 ha; the restoration of watersheds; the development of 415 ha

of agro forestry in addition to the 700 ha completed to reach the target of 1,115 ha) and of 700 ha of

fragile zones upstream of the seven small dams to be rehabilitated .

In Mali, additional eighteen (18) months are required to launch and ensure completion of development of:

2,366 ha of the Djambacourou plain for controlled immersion agriculture; 5 ha of the Djambacourou

women gardens; and traditional fisheries.

In Nigeria, additional eighteen (18) months are also required to complete the following key activities:

rehabilitation and testing of units 5, 6 & 12 and auxiliaries at the Kainji Hydropower Plant to increase its

production capacity to 340 MW as planned in the PAD; completion of additional remedial works at Jebba

dam to secure a capacity production of 578 MW already under production and develop the screening of

potential hydropower sites in the Niger Basin within Nigeria; and preparation of the Benue sub-basin

master plan in Nigeria.

In Guinea, additional time of 3 years is required to complete technical studies (update of feasibility,

detailed engineering design and bidding documents) and safeguard studies (update of Environmental and

Social Impact Assessment (ESIA); update of the Resettlement Action Plan – (RAP) for the large

multipurpose Fomi dam in Upper Guinea to meet international quality standards). The Fomi dam enjoys

high levels of support, especially from Mali and Guinea, and could be a major pillar of the Bank’s strategic

engagement in the Sahel, with potential to scale up irrigation by over 200,000 ha in addition to

hydropower. It is also an inherently complex case that few other organizations than the Bank can tackle

through exemplary multidisciplinary work. To this effect, a US$7.5 million Niger River Basin

Management Project (NRBMP) grant from the multi-donor Cooperation in International Waters in Africa

(CIWA) trust fund is currently under preparation. This grant will support studies designed largely to ensure

quality and sound decision making, as well as workshops, Donors round tables and other studies related to

Fomi Dam. The Guinea Financing Agreement is proposed to be extended until December 31, 2017. This

extension of thirty-six (36) months will also enable completion of the remaining ongoing activities

consisting of the development of 500 ha of agro forestry and 450 ha of lowlands at Faranah and

Kissidougou where works were launched on November 2014.

Closing dates

Given the delays in commencement of works in Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Benin and Guinea, all these beneficiary countries have requested an

extension of the closing date, which is currently December 31, 2014. A joint detailed work between the NBA and the beneficiary countries

was conducted to suggest sequencing closing dates based on the actual levels of progress and on the specific health context in Guinea where

Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever is prevailing. The proposed closing dates are presented in the table below.

1. The closing date for Republic of Guinea, Niger Basin Water Resources Development and Sustainable Ecosystems Management, IDA H3210 will be extended

from 12/31/2014 until 12/31/2017.

2. The overall physical execution rate of the NB/WRDSEM Program in Guinea is around 30% with a disbursement rate of 26.87 % as at October 31, 2014. The

key achievements on the ground are summarized as follow: start-up of development of 450 ha of low land works and 500 ha of agro-forestry works,

resumption of the process for selecting consultants to update the Fomi multipurpose dam’s technical, environmental and social studies. Additional time is

required to complete technical and safeguard studies for Fomi dam to the international standard level of quality. This transboundary project enjoys high levels

of support, especially from Mali and Guinea, and could be a major pillar of the Bank’s strategic engagement in the Sahel, with potential to scale up irrigation

by over 200,000 ha in addition to hydropower. It is also an inherently complex case that few other organizations than the Bank can tackle through exemplary

multidisciplinary work. To this effect, a US $7.5 Million Niger River Basin Management Project (NRBMP) grant for the multidonor CIWA trust fund is

currently under preparation. This grant has, inter-alia, been designed to support these studies designed largely to ensure quality and sound decision making,

and will go to the Board in January 2015 so that it can be implemented simultaneously. Considering about twenty-four months for procurement process and to

conduct the studies and the breakout of Ebola HF in Guinea, thirty-six (36) months extension is needed to achieve the project objectives in Guinea.
