I. Introduction

1. This Additional Financing Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors:

(i) to provide an Additional Financing (AF) in the amount of SDR 9.5 million (US$15 million

equivalent) to Republic of Togo for the on-going Emergency Infrastructure Rehabilitation and

Energy Project (EIREP) (Grant No. H489-TG); and (ii) to extend the project closing date by 24

months, from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015. This AF would be in response to a

specific request from the Government during the October 2010 annual meetings for the Bank’s

assistance for the floods in the fall of 2010, and confirmed in the formal request submitted on

March 10, 2011.

2. The proposed AF would scale-up basic urban services in some of Lomé’s poorest

communities, which is fully consistent with the original project development objectives. This

support has become urgent in light of the difficulties Government of Togo (GoT) has faced as a

result of the unusual rainfalls in the fall of 2010 that caused significant damage through flooding

of most parts of the city of Lomé and the rest of the country. In addition to responding to an

emergency, the additional financing will enhance the development impact of the original project

by further strengthening management capacity and extending network coverage of basic urban

services in Lomé’s eastern neighborhoods that suffered immense damage related to the flooding.

The proposed additional financing is processed using the streamlined procedures of Operations

Policy 8.00---Rapid Response to Crisis and Emergencies.

3. Implementation of the EIREP has been rated Satisfactory since inception in September

2009 and no major changes to the objectives or general design and implementation modalities of

the original project are being proposed.

II. Background and Rationale for Additional Financing

4. Country context. Decades of instability in Togo’s political and economic landscape have

been replete with tensions dating back to its early days as an independent nation in the 1960s.

Political tensions sparked off by successor selection in 2005 damaged the social and economic

fabric of the nation. A comprehensive political agreement (Accord Politique Global) was

negotiated in August 2006, a transitional national unity government organized legislative

elections in October 2007 (considered free and fair) and a new government pursuing political and

economic reforms and re-engaging with the international community has been in place since

then. The peaceful outcome of the March 2010 presidential elections has clearly improved the

socio-political outlook. The incumbent President was reelected in March 2010 and a new

Government of national unity was appointed on May 28, 2010. The President has shown that he

is intent on promoting an inclusive political dialogue with all opposition parties. The Togolese

authorities have demonstrated a commitment to macroeconomic stability and a prudent fiscal

stance. In December 2010, Togo reached the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC)

completion point and will also benefit from the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI).

Thanks to sound fiscal policy and external debt relief, public finances in Togo have strengthened

significantly over the past two years, despite the impact of the global recession and

administrative capacity constraints. The new Government has committed to continue pursuing

8

political and economic reforms and to re-engage with the international community whose

activities in the country had been modest over the past 15 years.

5. Impact of the 2010 floods. Togo, together with most countries in West Africa, suffered

from heavy precipitation and flooding during the fall of 2010 (supposedly secondary) rainy

season. Over 86,000 people were affected throughout the country, many of whom lived mainly

in low-lying pockets of the capital, Lomé. While Togo is no stranger to annual flooding (there

have been six major floods in the last ten years), the increasing intensity in the last five years and

particularly, last year, shows a trend that is intensifying. With the persistent threat of climate

change and the attendant unusual rise in the sea level coupled with more erosion at the coastal

line in the Gulf of Guinea, it appears that this annual occurrence of flooding is headed for

intensity and increased dangers to the population of Lomé. The inhabitants of Lomé live on

strips of land caught between the sea, lagoons and a river (Zio) draining the northern parts of the

city towards a sea. The natural draining path of river Zio has been effectively blocked by

sporadic structures/buildings erected in contravention to existing building regulations. Lack of

safe available land for housing and expansion of the city is a key challenge but so is also the lack

of available capacity and resources in Government as well as the Municipality of Lomé to

enforce their laws and regulations. In Lomé, the most affected neighborhoods were concentrated

in the eastern parts of the city where peripheral areas of the city have no major primary or

secondary drainage systems and where many more of the very poor inhabitants of the city are

located.

6. Another key part of the cause of flooding in Lomé is the inadequacy of surface/rainwater

retention ponds which were created as small water reservoirs to hold water and gradually

dissipate the contents through evaporation. However, over the last few years, the water table has

steadily risen throughout the city, saturating the soil. The retention ponds, designed for small

quantities of water, have expanded from an excess stagnation of water, which has nowhere else

to go. This largely accounts for the flooding throughout the city of Lomé, especially, the eastern

neighborhoods of Baguida, Avepozo, Adidogome, Gblinkome and others.

7. One of the consequences of flooding in the country has been a huge exodus of people,

mostly out of rural areas in the north of the country to urban centers in the south, in search of

stability and economic opportunities. As a result, urban poverty and overcrowding has

dramatically increased in Lomé where more than half of the urban population of about 2.1

million resides today. Helping the Government to ensure the delivery of basic infrastructure and

social services to urban populations living in difficult and unsanitary conditions, and expanding

these services to more people in Lomé’s eastern neighborhoods, is a key part of the Bank’s

strategy to support Togo’s crisis recovery and contribute to securing sustainable peace and

development.

8. Following an appeal by the Government to the international community and at the

request of the Togolese delegation during the Annual Meetings (October 2010), a World

Bank/GFDRR Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PNDA) mission to review the impact of the

floods was fielded in December 2010. The mission’s report to Management suggested possible

actions to be undertaken by the World Bank in the recovery period and support to avoidance of

negative impacts of future occurrence. In response, the World Bank made available additional

9

resources to scale up (the existing Emergency Infrastructure and Rehabilitation and Energy

Project (US$15 million) and to top up (by US$13 million) the Fourth Economic Recovery and

Governance Grant. Finally, to help with flood risk management and preparedness and support

for development of a comprehensive early warning system, an Integrated Disaster and Land

Management Project is under preparation (US$12.3 million) with grant funding from the GEF,

Terr/Africa and the GFDRR (Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery).

9. The original Grant. In June 2009, the Board of Directors of the World Bank approved a

grant for an Emergency Urban Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Energy Project (Grant No:

47975-TG) in a total amount of US$26.82 million equivalent, processed under the streamlined

procedures of Operations Policy 8.00—Rapid Response to Crises and Emergencies. This grant

constituted a key pillar of the Bank’s reengagement strategy in Togo. The financing was urgently

required due to: (a) lack of maintenance and new investments which had considerably hampered

the delivery of basic municipal services; and (b) substantial increase in urbanization, largely

compounded by crisis-led population displacement contributing to increased pressure on existing

infrastructure and services in most urban centers, especially, Lomé.

10. Original project objective. The original project development objective (PDO) is to

increase access to infrastructure and urban services in Lomé. The achievement of this objective

would support the Government of Togo’s efforts to demonstrate concrete improvements in the

lives of its citizens, a critical step for sustaining social and political stability in the country.

11. Components of the original project: The original project has two components: (A)

Infrastructure Rehabilitation (US$ 22.82 million), and (B) Institutional Strengthening (US$ 4

million):

Component A: Infrastructure Rehabilitation

(i) Drainage cleaning and Rehabilitation (US$9 million equivalent) designed to

reduce the number of people affected by periodic flooding in the poor

neighborhoods of Lomé. Drainage rehabilitation in selected poor neighborhoods

of Lomé, through: (a) cleaning of approximately 50 kilometers of existing canals

throughout the city of Lomé; (b) rehabilitation and extension of approximately 12

kilometers of unsound drainage networks, resurfacing of drains and construction

of new culverts along major roads, using mostly labor-intensive works methods;

(c) rehabilitation of shoulders and side ditches of the secondary drainage network

that drains into the lagoons of Lomé; (d) construction of storm water retention

ponds and (e) construction of a center for disaster victims (i.e., safe space where

victims of natural disasters could be evacuated and assembled so as to afford the

Recipient and its agencies/development partners a specific place to provide timely

needed emergency services to such victims).

(ii) Urban Roads rehabilitation (US$5 million equivalent) designed to rehabilitate

about five kilometers of primary and secondary roads in Lomé to increase access

to currently isolated areas of the city.

(iii) Water Supply (US$4 million equivalent) designed to provide water supply to

Lomé residents by implementing approximately 15 mini water supply systems

10

(boreholes equipped with solar pumps, limited water networks, and water kiosks)

in poor peri-urban neighborhoods not served by the current water utility

company’s water supply network.

(iv) Electricity Distribution System Rehabilitation (US $4.82 million equivalent

composed of US$3 million IDA and US$1.82 million from GEF) designed to

rehabilitate the power distribution network in Lomé; to stabilize power supply;

and undertake electric efficiency scheme through replacing electric bulbs in all

major Government offices to reduce electricity consumption and increase access

to electricity in Lomé.

Component B: Institutional Strengthening (US$ 4 million). This component was

designed to strengthen the capacity of the institutions involved in project management

and implementation (Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (MUDH), Department

of Hydraulics and Sanitation (DGH), and the project implementing agency, Agency for the

Execution of Urban Works (AGETUR-Togo) and responsible for the delivery of urban

services (Municipality of Lomé, the Togo Power Distribution Utility (CEET) and the

Togo Water Utility Company (TdE) to ensure some level of sustainability of the activities

financed by the project. The anticipated results will support GoT’s efforts to bring

visible and tangible improvement to the lives of its citizens, and in turn, improve social

and political stability in the country.

12. Project implementation record and results to date. The project has made satisfactory

progress toward meeting its development objective. The project has consistently been rated

satisfactory since project effectiveness in September 2009 with regard to implementation

progress. As of end of April 2011, about 30 percent (a total of US$8.3 million) of all envisaged

contracts amounts has been disbursed and overall, about 74 percent of the grant proceeds has

been committed.. Further disbursements of about US$8 million are expected to be completed by

the end of 2011, bringing the total disbursement rate to about 60 percent. The Government’s

commitment to the project remains strong. Infrastructure under construction and improvements

to service delivery are progressing satisfactorily. During the October 2010 supervision mission,

the project was identified as one of the most successful operations in World Bank’s Togo

operations on all fronts---solid move towards achievement of development objectives,

appropriate management of risk levels, implementation progress, disbursements, and

implementation processes documentation. The EIREP has allowed the GoT to demonstrate

visible and tangible improvements in the provision of services in key areas such as flood

reduction through provision of better and working drainage systems, astute readiness and

preparedness to respond to disaster emergencies as well as access to all-season roads services.

13. Key accomplishments of the project, as of March 2011, include:

• Over 52,000 people in poor neighborhoods were protected against the 2010 floods

• Cleaning and de-silting of 70 kilometers of the existing drains (166 percent of planned

works in the original project) in neighborhoods previously overwhelmed by flooding has

been completed. During the 2010 floods in Lomé, those neighborhoods that benefited

from the cleaning and de-silting exercise were significantly less affected than adjoining

neighborhoods with similar characteristics.

11

• Construction of a 1000-bed Center for Disaster Victims has been completed and handed

over to GoT.

• All studies and designs for roads rehabilitation and water supply components have been

completed and the process of launching bids for the actual works is underway.

• Rehabilitation of all 20 transformer stations out of the 20 targeted have been completed

and fully equipped with brand new transformers. About 30 km of extension of the

existing electricity network to neighborhoods that were previously not served by CEET

has been completed and commissioned.

• International competitive bidding has been launched to supply over 400,000 bulbs to

support the energy efficiency sub-component. At the close of the bids on April 5, 2011,

more than 14 bids had been received and are now under evaluation.

• 121 staff trained in procurement, financial management, safeguards and M&E (over

300% of original target).

14. Legal covenants. The original project does not have any dated legal covenants beyond the

conditions for effectiveness which were met as planned.

15. Procurement compliance is satisfactory. The project team in the Project Implementation

Entity (IE) includes qualified and experienced procurement specialists who have access to

appropriate tools and knowledge to enable them effectively carry out their functions; the IE’s

procurement staff have benefited from continuous Bank supported training. A procurement

review completed on October 28, 2010 reported satisfactory results. It was noted that almost all

procurement processes have been finalized, the procurement plan has been updated as required,

and the IE is following up on recommendations made by the Bank and in audit reports. The

implementation of contracts already awarded is proceeding in accordance with the procurement

plan.

16. Financial management performance is moderately satisfactory. With respect to the

project’s financial management performance, a supervision mission conducted in October 2010

downgraded the FM performance to ―Moderately Satisfactory‖ as a result of the IE not

complying with the Bank’s directive to recruit a consultant to perform internal auditor functions

and poor supervision of budgets. The mission agreed with GoT on terms of reference to hire a

consultant/internal auditor to join the implementing agency by April 30, 2011, and as of May

2011, the Banks’ no objection has been delivered to the GoT and the appointment is expected to

be in place by June 2011. As a result of a sound control environment (qualified fiduciary staff

and adequate manual of procedures supported by a computerized accounting system), the project

complies with financial management requirements such as timely submission of quarterly

interim unaudited financial reports and annual audit reports. The latest external audit opinion

was unqualified and there are currently no open accountability issues.

17. Safeguard compliance is satisfactory. Overall safeguard compliance (Environmental

Assessment OP/BP 4.01 and Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP 4.12) is rated satisfactory. The

AF, like the original project, has environmental impacts expected to be minimal, site-specific and

manageable at an acceptable level. As in the original project, two safeguard policies are

triggered: Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) and Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12). The

ESMF and RPF prepared and disclosed in-country and at the World Bank Infoshop on August

12

13, 2009, and August 24, 2009, respectively, still apply. Lomé Municipality staff and the IE

safeguards specialist have been trained on Bank safeguards policies and now have better

information and guidance on how to supervise delegated responsibility of the EMP, RAPs and

ESMF implementation. The IE safeguards specialist follows up environmental and social issues

during project implementation. As at April 2011, two ESIAs dealing with water supply and

drainage system rehabilitation have been prepared by the project, consulted upon, and disclosed.

During the implementation, the Bank team has been providing guidance including: (i) Providing

to various actors sufficient means to carry out the follow-up and the supervision of subprojects’

EMPs and/or RAPs; (ii) sharing as much as possible projects safeguards instruments with project

stakeholders; (iii) strengthening the capacity of the various stakeholder groups in environmental

and social assessment and monitoring and reporting procedures, through training and

sensitization programs; (iv) ensuring that proposed mitigations measures are effectively

implemented; and (v) ensuring that local communities are involved in the implementation and

monitoring of subprojects. The Bank team is closely monitoring safeguards issues related to the

project and will make sure that the IE complies with safeguard requirement under this AF.

18. Monitoring and evaluation. Under the project, the Technical Secretariat (TS), working

closely with the IE, collects and consolidates detailed data in a satisfactory manner to track

progress as per the results framework; data corresponding to the PDO indicators are available for

the purpose of project monitoring. Supervision missions evaluate data collection efficiency and

as needed advise on its improvement.

19. Follow up on risks. The overall risk of the original project was rated as high. This

reflected the fragile political, economic, and social environment in Togo in 2009, one year

following its reengagement with the international community. Since then, the political situation

has been calm. The incumbent president was reelected in March 2010 and a new Government of

national unity was appointed on May 28, 2010. The Togolese authorities have demonstrated a

commitment to macroeconomic stability and a prudent fiscal stance. In December 2010, Togo

reached the HIPC completion point and will also benefit from MDRI. Thanks to sound fiscal

policy and external debt relief, public finances in Togo have strengthened significantly over the

past two years, despite the impact of the global recession and administrative capacity constraints.

Although the country’s risks persist, the past year has not seen any detrimental effects on the

implementation of the project. At the project level, procurement risks—including the risk of

substantial delays in procurement procedures, have been minimized. Through targeted training

opportunities, the IE has been strengthened to ensure that sound financial and procurement

management is maintained. The TS and the IE play central roles in project management through

monitoring and supervision of contractors and their agencies. The computerized accounting

system has been upgraded to allow close monitoring of project financial management

implementation. Regular supervision missions have been conducted in collaboration with

national authorities and project performance has been well monitored. A project performance

review was conducted in October 2010. The review concluded that the overall project

performance is satisfactory and the main risks identified during the initial project preparation

have not materialized.

20. Rationale for requesting Additional Financing. The proposed AF will have a direct

impact on poverty reduction. The operation will protect the poor by ensuring that essential

13

services, such as drainage and transport systems are preserved. The drainage subcomponent

(US$12.9 million) will finance drainage systems that will benefit an additional 300,000

inhabitants in poor neighborhoods of Lomé, where the population has been strongly affected by

last year’s floods. In addition, the proposed AF Project’s road rehabilitation component (US$1.1

million) will focus on the seriously disadvantaged neighborhoods of Adakpame, Kangnikopé and

Zorro Bar (all areas that were directly or indirectly affected by the flooding of 2010) to support

very poor people to gain unfettered access to the city of Lomé’s economic assets. The 2010

floods totally eroded a 640 meter section of roads much of which remains dilapidated and

making it impossible for vehicles to ply thus impacting accessibility and livelihood of people

caught in neighborhoods indicated above. It is estimated that an additional 48,000 people will

benefit from the improved roads that will be rehabilitated. To address the huge need and

strengthen the management capacity of the service delivery agencies, and building on the

momentum of the satisfactory implementation of the project, the grant will contribute to scaling

up activities to improve distribution networks, enable more sustainability in service delivery, and

extend service coverage to eastern neighborhoods of Lomé.

21. Link to Country Strategy, Poverty Reduction Strategy and MDGs. The proposed activities

are consistent with the overall objectives and the key pillars of the Interim Strategy Note (ISN)

discussed by the Board of the World Bank on May 29, 2008. The ISN sets out the Bank Group’s

support to the Government’s reform program for the period FY08-FY101. The ISN is closely

aligned with the Government’s I-PRSP and has the following three main pillars: (i) Improve

governance and transparency, through a focus on public finance management and key sectors of

the economy (phosphates, energy, cotton and financial sectors); (ii) Promote economic recovery

and sustainable development by helping the Government rehabilitate critical infrastructure and

restore productive capacity in the phosphate and cotton sectors. The Bank will also support the

Government in addressing the challenges and obstacles to, and potential entry points for, private

sector investment as a catalyst for growth in Togo; and (iii) Address urgent social needs, through

rehabilitation of the infrastructure base to provide quality public services and income-generating

opportunities to the residents of poorest communities in Togo. The proposed operation is an

integral part of the ISN. It directly supports the second and third ISN pillars and provides support

to infrastructure rehabilitation needed to expand the economy and create jobs. The proposed

rehabilitation works are essential to the Government’s ability to attract other donors to support its

recovery effort while it takes steps to use public resources efficiently and effectively to support

the country’s economic and social recovery.

22. Additional Financing is the preferred option for scale-up. The AF instrument governed

by OP 13.20 is applicable to the project as it allows additional or expanded activities that will

scale up the project’s impact and development effectiveness. There are significant cost -

effectiveness gains in implementing the scaled-up activities as part of the ongoing operation,

building on implementation arrangements already in place; and the scale-up can feasibly be

accommodated in the context of the original project. Furthermore, the AF will allow for a rapid

response directly addressing the emergency resulting from the floods of the fall of 2010.

1 A new Interim Strategy for Togo is under preparation and expected for delivery in July 2011.

14

23. Justification for using the streamlined procedures of Operations Policy 8.0 in

conjunction with OP 13.20 for Additional Financing: The justification for processing under

OP/BP 13.20 is two-fold. Firstly, the AFaddresses major adverse economic and social impacts

resulting from the flooding crisis and destruction of livelihoods of many poor people living in

badly affected neighborhoods. Secondly, the urgency to stabilize the fragile situation in Togo,

which was the justification to use streamlined procedures of Operations Policy 8.00 for the

original project, still remains valid as evidenced in the description of the emergency situation.

Togo is struggling to recover from three successive floods over the last three years, which have

resulted in large scale infrastructure damage, displacement of many poor people and disruption

of socio-economic activities. Using OP 13.20 enables the gains made in the original project to be

extended, expanded and built upon as the project scope is also expanded to support other parts of

the city of Lomé.

III. Proposed Changes

No changes in the PDO

24. Project objective. The PDO of the AF will remain the same as that of the original: To

increase access to infrastructure and urban services in Lomé. The achievement of this objective

would support the Government of Togo’s efforts to demonstrate concrete improvements in the

lives of its citizens, a critical step for sustaining social and political stability in the country. The

current closing date of December 31, 2013 will be extended to December 31, 2015. The two year

extension is based on a careful assessment of the preparation time of the works. Since all the

chosen GoT priority investments for this AF are a result of damages caused by the floods of

2010, only few studies are in place for these investments. ToRs for additional studies required

have been evaluated and Bank’s no-objection delivered as of April 5, 2011. The studies will

point to the specific design accuracy needed to ensure that these works are completed

satisfactorily. While most of the works will start and be completed promptly, part of the

drainage systems will need more time to be completed due to the likelihood that the next rainy

seasons will delay implementation of works for periods between two weeks and up to two

months every year.

25. Project indicators. The project outcome indicators remain the same, although the targets

are adjusted upwards to reflect the additional activities being financed. The proposed additional

activities would scale up the impact of Components A and B of the initial project. According to

initial estimates, the AF would benefit (i) an additional 300,000 people who would no longer be

subjected to periodic flooding, and (ii) an additional 48,000 people who would get access to all-

season roads within a 500 meter range under the project. The related targets have been adjusted

to reflect the additional activities. In addition, the indicators on (i) access to roads and (ii) access

to potable water, and (iii) additional households and businesses with access to reliable electricity

are adjusted to comply with existing World Bank core sector indicators (refer table 2 below and

annex 1). Furthermore, the indicator for total number of direct beneficiaries has been included.

Activities undertaken in one component out of the two initial components will be scaled up to

strengthen project sustainability. The other sub-components (water supply and energy) will not

be provided with additional funds since the AF project is focusing on addressing the immediate

negative impacts of the flooding emergency. The description below provides a summary of

15

activities in each component as well as highlights how it contributes to the protection of core

project works and expenditure programs.

26. Project components. The AF project will have two components – support to

infrastructure rehabilitation under Component A1 (drainage) and A2 (urban roads) at a total of

US$14 million equivalent, and support to Component B (Institutional Strengthening) at a total of

about US$1 million to support additional capacity building and training activities through the

end of the proposed extended closing date (December 31, 2015). Details are provided below:

Component A: Infrastructure Rehabilitation (US$14 million equivalent)

A.1 Drainage cleaning and Rehabilitation (US$12.91 million equivalent): to reduce the

number of people affected by periodic flooding in the poor neighborhoods of Lomé. The

activities planned for this component will benefit at least an additional 300,000 people. The

activities include (i) cleaning approximately additional 50 kilometers of existing canals

throughout the city; (ii) rehabilitation and extension of approximately additional 12 kilometers of

substandard and unsound drainage structures, resurfacing the inner walls of drains, and

construction of new culverts along major roads, using mostly labor-intensive works methods;

(iii) rehabilitation of shoulders and side ditches along the secondary drainage network that drains

into Lomé’s lagoons; and (iv) rehabilitation of one storm water retention pond, including

fencing, linking to a network of canals (some expanded in size) to drain water into the lagoon.

A.2 Urban Roads (US$1.09 million equivalent): to rehabilitate about two and a half

kilometers of secondary roads in Lomé to increase access to currently isolated areas of the city

through reshaping and reinforcing of base structures, re-gravelling and paving of roads, and

rehabilitating drainage and crossing structures along those roads. Despite considerable efforts

under the original project, enormous needs persist to rehabilitate heavily dilapidated roads and to

reinforce drainage systems in the urban centers, mostly as a result of the excessive floods. Key

results are expected to include improved and lower cost public transportation in the

disadvantaged neighborhoods in which citizens are currently isolated from businesses and job

opportunities. An additional 48,000 people are expected to obtain access to all-season roads.

Component B: Institutional Strengthening (US$1 million equivalent). This component will

support: (i) further strengthening the capacity of the staff of GoT and its entities, including the

technical secretariat as well as the implementing agency, in technical management of floods,

maintenance scheduling, procurement, financial management, environmental and social

safeguards, communications, and monitoring and evaluation (including an additional 20 staff

being trained in these areas); and, (ii) provide the staff of the technical secretariat overseeing the

implementation of the project, and the implementing entity with requisite support and logistics to

perform responsibilities delegated to them by GoT through the end of the proposed extended

closing date (December 31, 2015). To further strengthen the capacity of GoT agencies in

procurement, the project will also support MUDH’s (and specifically the Technical Secretariat)

oversight of procurement managed by AGETUR under the current contractual arrangements

(including the bidding and evaluation process) through review of bids, technical audits on works

completed and further training in procurement.

27. The proposed AF activities would thus scale up the impact of two subcomponents out of

four subcomponents of Component A of the original project. In addition, the AF will finance

additional capacity building and training activities under Component B, and will ensure that

project staff continues to perform responsibilities delegated to them by the Government of Togo

through the end of the proposed extended closing date. Table 2 summarizes the projected

increases in activities and beneficiaries per component (please also refer annex 1 which includes

the details of the revised results framework).

28. Harmonization and coordination with other Development Partner interventions in Togo:

The proposed AF is fully complementary to activities funded by other donors in the urban sector.

As summarized below, the collaboration with other donors in mitigating the impact of the crisis

in urban infrastructure development is significant, but the total resources mobilized still falls far

below actual needs.

• Drainage: Through a ground breaking policy dialogue with Government, a new

understanding has emerged where any new roads built in Lomé and other secondary

cities of the country would have to be complemented by drainage systems without which

such roads cannot be built. GoT has implemented this policy rigorously as witnessed

during the rehabilitation of Boulevard de Mono in Lomé (from the Ghana frontier to the

port of Lomé) where a drainage system was incorporated in the project execution. The

European Commission (EC) has provided 21 million Euros (US$26 million) since 2003

under emergency programs (drainage and urban roads rehabilitation). In parallel, EC

provided grants of about CFAF3,4 billion (US$7.6 million) to rehabilitate the lagoons of

Lomé and build two outlets to facilitate the drive of excessive runoff water out of the

lagoons of the city to the sea.

2 The phrasing of some of the indicators from the original project has been revised to ensure compliance with Core Sector

Indicators (refer annex 1 for details). 3 This indicator was not an indicator in the original project, but it has been added to ensure compliance with Core Sector

Indicators (refer annex 1 for details).

18

• Urban roads: Because of the critical conditions of the road system and the need to

address the most urgent needs, the Government mobilized local resources for

rehabilitation works to restore especially dilapidated main roads leading to areas that are

critical for mobility in the City of Lomé. A consortium of development partners (Islamic

Development Bank, Banque Ouest Africaine de Développement , and Banque

d’Investissement et Développement de CEDEAO (BIDC) is providing over US$25million

to support GoT to rehabilitate the main thoroughfare from the border with Ghana (Aflao)

to the port of Lomé. KfW has provided support in an amount of 13 million Euros (US$

17.9million) to construct a road linking the port of Lomé to the major highway leading to

the north of the country and thus taking traffic away from the city center. BOAD has

committed an amount of US$17 million to rehabilitate badly dilapidated roads in the

center of Lomé. About 6 kilometers of urban roads are to be rehabilitated under this

project that was started in October 2010 (just after the rains). The Government has

concluded arrangements to operationalize the Fonds Routier (FR) and the CAPER

(Companie Autonome de Péages et de l’Entretien Routier) as of end of February 2011.

Director Generals and staff of these agencies have been appointed and the agencies have

started taking on the responsibility for maintenance and rehabilitation of urban and

national roads.

• Urban Solid Waste Management (SWM) sector: To address the consequences of the

crisis in the sector, the French Development Agency (AFD) has put technical assistance

support at the disposal of the Municipality of Lomé and provided 11 million Euros (US$

15.1 million) to help re-establishj up a working SWM services system for the city. This

is in addition to CFAF7.1 billion (US$14.9 million) provided by AFD to the Government

in the last two years to help address insufficient drainage and public sanitation.

IV. Appraisal Summary

29. Technical appraisal. The technical design of the additional works considered under the

AF will be carried out based on experiences of the original project. The selected works retained

are of the highest priority to the Government as the original request submitted to the Bank

amounted to over US$82 million. However, from the funds the Bank could provide, the

Government project team was asked to re-prioritize among the activities included in the already

submitted request and therefore the final chosen works are of utmost critical importance. The

investments finally agreed between the Government and the Bank’s technical teams are sound in

terms of the possibility of protecting the biggest number of people in the most vulnerable areas

of the city of Lomé. As with the original project, the technical solutions are simple and within

reach of the Togolese counterparts. Most of these selected works are as a result of the floods and

the extensive damages that were inflicted on the beneficiary neighborhoods. Therefore, where

studies exist, they need to be updated while in some cases no studies exist and need to be

financed under the AF.

30. Economic appraisal. Both the original operation and the AF are processed under

OP/BP8.00. The intangible benefits of the project include contribution to (i) improvement of

living conditions through the populations’ increased access to water, electricity, and drainage

19

services in Lomé, (ii) reduction in the number of unemployed people, (iii) improvements in

project management and technical operational skills of the people involved in the management of

the project.

31. Sustainability. Under component B, the original project supported (i) acquisition of

hardware and software for financial and procurement management; (ii) monitoring and

evaluation, environmental and social safeguards, and (iii) training of technical staff of

governmental agencies (MUDH, Ministry of Mines, Energy, and Water, DGH, CEET, TdE), the

Municipality of Lomé, AGETUR-Togo, and communities involved in the project to streamline

implementation processes. The project thereby helped to build the foundation for sustainability

of these services through other activities that the Government and other donors will implement in

the future. The proposed project will build on complimentarity and synergy with works that are

on-going in support of the Government and the Municipality of Lomé in building their capacity

to developing maintenance and rehabilitation culture. For example, AFD and EC have both

sponsored two Technical Assistance Personnel located in the Municipality of Lomé working on

Solid Waste Management planning and execution as well as helping to re-organize the finance

department of the Municipality.

32. Implementation Arrangements. In view of the need for rapid results on the ground, the

project has been designed to rely on implementation arrangements that have been successfully

tested under development partners’ financed activities. The project will be implemented using

the similar implementation arrangements as was used under the original project (please refer to

annex 3 for detailed description of implementation arrangements). The implementation

arrangements are tested and proven systems that have had the benefit of knocking out waste and

non-performing parts leaving easily accessible systems and a better trained fiduciary, safeguards,

M&E and results, and technical staff who are competent and able to better manage the project.

The Government is under a lot of pressure from a restive population to deliver dividends of

peace quickly and is looking up to this project to provide a bridge to bigger possibilities of

engagement in programs that will contribute to normalizing the social and poverty situation in

the country. The Government has therefore lent a strong supporting hand to this project and its

implementation and they have contributed to removing bottlenecks to implementation thus

creating an environment supportive of achieving the project objectives.

33. Monitoring and evaluation of outcomes/results. The monitoring and evaluation (M&E)

system is based on the agreed results framework and monitoring arrangements (refer Annex 1).

The focal point of each partner institution is responsible for the data collection and reporting for

their respective subcomponent. Monitoring and evaluation of project activities are key functions

carried out by the Technical Secretariat within the Urban Development Directorate of the

Ministry of Urban Development and Housing on a regular basis. A semi-annual monitoring

table and progress reports is prepared by the TS and discussed during the Steering Committee

meetings. These reports assess achievements against the agreed work plans and the overall

project development objective. The TS is responsible for preparing quarterly reports and

updating the work plans on an annual basis, taking into account the achievements of the project

outcomes to date, the strategic focus of the project, and IDA feedback. Special attention is given

to monitoring and evaluation from the beginning of the project.

20

34. An in-depth evaluation of project results will be undertaken at the Mid-Term Review of

the original project, due by end of 2011. The objective of the review will be to assess progress

and, if necessary, make changes in the project based on additional lessons and the realities on the

ground. An Implementation Completion Report (ICR) will be undertaken six months after the

completion of the project (December 31, 2015).

35. Communications on project related issues. Communications is essential for project

success, given the number of institutions involved in its implementation, the scope of activities to

be conducted, and the identified possible risks. For this reason, and as per the original project,

the services of a communications specialist (within the Technical Secretariat) will continue to be

required to manage the overall communications aspect for the project (please refer annex 3 for

detailed description of communications activities).

36. Financial Management. From the last supervision mission in October 2010, financial

management (FM) performance of the initial project was rated as moderately satisfactory as a

result of the IE not complying with the Bank’s directive to recruit an internal auditor and poor

supervision of budgets. Since then, appropriate actions have been taken to address these issues

and now there is an improvement of the project control environment involving compliance with

financial management requirements such as timely submission of quarterly Interim unaudited

Financial Reports and annual audit reports. The proposed AF does not involve any change that

could affect the current FM arrangements. As a result, it was agreed that the FM arrangements of

the proposed AF will build on the existing implementation arrangements of the original project,

i.e. with AGETUR-Togo being overall responsible for financial management under the project.

The contract of the external auditor under the original project will be amended to integrate the

AF within one month after the project being effective. A technical audit will be conducted under

the new project every two years based on Terms of Reference acceptable to IDA. The FM

arrangements which continue from the original project are in line with OP.10.02 and the overall

FM risk rating is rated at Medium-L.

37. Disbursements. The project will continue to finance 100 percent of eligible expenditures

inclusive taxes under the original financing. Disbursements will be based on Statement of

Expenditures (SOE) and advances will continue to be deposited into the Designated Account

(DA) opened under the original financing to facilitate implementation while maintaining a single

project approach. The DA ceiling in the original project will be increased to CFAF

1,000,000,000 to accommodate the increased project cash needs resulting from the scaled up

activities. The Disbursement Letter, including the World Bank Disbursement Guidelines for

Projects, dated May 1, 2006, will constitute additional instructions to the new Financing

Agreement as needed.

38. Procurement. Procurement associated with the project activities supported through the

AF would be carried out in accordance with the World Bank’s “Guidelines for Selection and

Employment of Consultants under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants by World Bank

Borrowers, dated January 2011”, and “Guidelines for Procurement of Goods, Works and Non-

Consulting Services under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants by World Bank Borrowers

dated January 2011”. “Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in

Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants”, dated 15 October 2006, and

21

revised in January 2011, shall apply to the project. Bank’s standard bidding documents and

evaluation report forms will be used. The Project Implementation Manual (PIM) describes in

detail the procurement arrangement and the specific Methods. Detailed procurement methods,

similar to procedures under the original project, are described in annex 3.

39. As per original project, the institutional arrangements and procedures have been designed

in line with the emergency nature of the project according to OP/BP 08 for Rapid Response to

Crisis and Emergencies. As per original design, all procurement activities for the AF will be

carried out by AGETUR under the oversight of the Technical Secretariat (TS). Given the

volatility situation of the country, the current arrangement is to ensure expeditious processing,

efficiency, adequate resource management and improvement of the service delivery. An initial

procurement capacity assessment was conducted by the World Bank during the preparation of

the initial project in accordance with the Procurement Service Policy Group (OPCSPE)

guidelines dated August 11, 1998. A post procurement review was carried in October 2010

reported satisfactory results. The assessment revealed that AGETUR have the required

experience in Bank procurement procedures. It was noted that almost all procurement processes

have been finalized, the procurement plan has been updated as required, and AGETUR is

following up on recommendations made by the audit report. The implementation of contracts

already awarded is proceeding in accordance with the procurement plan. To further strengthen

the capacity of GoT agencies in procurement, the project will strengthen MUDH’s (and

specifically the Technical Secretariat) oversight of procurement managed by AGETUR under the

current contractual arrangements (including the bidding and evaluation process). The head of the

Technical Secretariat who is a civil engineer4 with an adequate knowledge of the World Bank

procurement procedures plays a key role in the implementation of the project activities; the

Technical Secretariat may utilize a consultant if necessary. In addition, the following measures

will be put in place: (i) a technical audit will also be carried out once a year during the project

implementation by an independent consultant hired on a competitive basis, to report on the

procurement process, contract management, fiduciary compliance, the quality of the works,

goods and services provided, and value for money; (ii) adopt a revised Procurement

Implementation Manual with section on procurement detailing out all applicable procedures; (iii)

MUDH will designate all technical staff who will be involved in the preparation of technical

specifications of bidding documents to participate in Bank procurement training and follow up

trainings; (iv) Reorganization of the project filing system in order to better keep procurement

documents and reports; and (v) Publication of the Award of Contract according to the World

Bank Procurement and Consultant Guidelines. Based on the above, the procurement risk rating is

assessed to be Medium-I.

40. Procurement plan. The Government has developed and submitted a draft procurement

plan for the first 12 months of the project implementation with the basis for the procurement

methods for each component. Following approval of the proposed project, the plan agreed upon

will be published on the Bank’s public website and the Recipient’s intranet website. The

Procurement Plan will be updated in agreement with the Bank at least annually. All procurement

4 The head of the Technical Secretariat worked for over 16 years in GoT service where she left as a Director (responsible for all

roads and Government Building maintenance) before joining PURISE.

22

will be carried out in accordance with the agreed procurement plan. All procuring entities and

staff, as well as project Implementation Agencies, Borrower, bidders, suppliers, and contractors

shall observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement and execution of contracts

financed under the project in accordance with paragraph 1.16 of the Guidelines ―Procurement of

Goods, Works and Non-Consulting Services under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants by

World Bank Borrowers‖ and paragraph 1.23 of the Guidelines ―Selection and Employment of

Consultants under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants by World Bank Borrowers‖.

41. Environmental and social safeguards. The proposed activities are similar in type and

scope to the original investment program. It is not expected that the additional civil works

activities to be carried out under the proposed AF will affect the environmental category of the

Project, which remains at Category B. No new safeguard policies are triggered. The types of

investments included in the AF are covered by the Environmental and Social Management

Framework (ESMF) and Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) prepared and disclosed in the

country and World Bank InfoShop on August 13, 2009, and August 23, 2009, respectively, and

the ESMF and RPF still apply.

42. Benefits. The proposed additional activities would scale up the impact of Components A

and B of the initial project. According to initial estimates, the AF will benefit (i) an additional

300,000 people who would no longer be subjected to periodic flooding, (ii) an additional 48,000

people who would get access to all-season roads within a 500 meter range under the project. The

related outcome indicators would be adjusted to reflect the additional activities.

43. Risks and mitigation measures. Based on the maintenance of stability on the socio-

political and macro-economic fronts, as well as successful implementation of the ongoing EIREP

outlined above, a rating of Medium-I is proposed for the AF (refer to Annex 2 for further details

on risks identified). Risks specific to this operation (similar to the ongoing EIREP) include: (i)

weak capacity of MUDH, and the municipality of Lomé to properly manage the rehabilitated

investments, (ii) possible interference in procurement and financial management decisions.

These risks have been successfully mitigated under the original project as outlined above and

will continue to be mitigated in the proposed project, including through (a) targeted capacity

support and training to the agencies involved in the implementation of the project, (b)

outsourcing of procurement to an independent procurement agent (AGETUR), and (c) close

supervision and keeping prior review thresholds at a level consistent with identified risks. In

addition, the following measures will be put in place: (d) a technical audit will be carried out

once a year during the project implementation by an independent consultant hired on a

competitive basis, to report on the procurement process, contract management, fiduciary

compliance, the quality of the works, goods and services provided, and value for money to report

to the client and the World Bank; (e) adoption of a revised Procurement Implementation Manual

with section on procurement detailing out all applicable procedures; (f) MUDH will designate all

technical staff who will be involved in the preparation of technical specifications of bidding

documents to participate in Bank procurement training and follow up trainings; (g)

reorganization of the project filing system in order to better keep procurement documents and

reports; and (h) publication of the Award of Contract according to the World Bank Procurement

and Consultant Guidelines.

23

44. Supervision. A minimum of three (3) supervision missions will be conducted during the

first year after effectiveness of the Additional Financing Grant, and, thereafter, as stated in the

parent grant, at least two times each year based on the risk assessment update of the project. The

missions’ objectives will include ensuring that strong financial managemen t, procurement,

safeguards, monitoring and evaluation for results and community participation systems are

maintained for the duration of the project. For FM, Statement of Expenditures (SOE) review

will be carried out regularly to ensure that project expenditures remain eligible for IDA funding.

The Implementation Status Report will include a financial management, procurement and

safeguards rating for the project.

45. Project readiness. The project is ready to be implemented, and there is capacity in the

implementing agency to ensure timely delivery of the proposed additional program. Preparatory

works toward studies for the drainage works are well underway and the bidding process for the

simpler works may be launched immediately after effectiveness. Other more complex works and

the studies for them may take longer. Disbursements will take off immediately in FY12 with 33

percent disbursement expected by FY13 and 80 percent by FY14. Similarly, the scaling up of

activities is also reflected in the revised result framework as indicated in annex 1.

Risk Category

Risk Rating Risk Description Proposed Mitigation Measures

Project Stakeholder Risks

Medium - L

Risk that stakeholders may not be able to effectively cooperate to ensure effective implementation of the project due to differing views, differing procedures and differing work procedures. Risk that citizens and communities are not sufficiently involved in and informed about project implementation, with negative impacts for project outcomes and sustainability, e.g. drains that have been rehabilitated continue to be clogged with trash due to citizen’s lack of awareness.

Stakeholders are cooperating under the Inter Ministerial Steering Committee as well as through the Technical Secretariat that have been set up as part of the original EIRE project. Community involvement has been key in the design of the existing EIRE project and will be continued under the AF, including implementation of a communications strategy and several community outreach activities.

However, the project complies with financial management requirements such as timely submission of quarterly Interim unaudited Financial Reports and annual audit reports. The latest audit opinion was unqualified and there are currently no open accountability issues.

maintained. The TS and the IE play central roles in project management through monitoring and supervision of contractors and their agencies. The computerized accounting system has been upgraded to allow close monitoring of project financial management implementation. Regular supervision missions have been conducted in collaboration with national authorities and project performance has been well monitored. In addition, the following measures will be put in place: (i) A technical audit will also be carried out once a year during the project implementation by an independent consultant hired on a competitive basis, to report on the procurement process, contract management, fiduciary compliance, the quality of the works, goods and services provided, and value for money; (ii) Adopt a revised Procurement Implementation Manual with section on procurement detailing out all applicable procedures; (iii) MUDH will designate all technical staff who will be involved in the preparation of technical specifications of bidding documents to participate in Bank procurement training and follow up trainings; (iv) Reorganization of the project filing system in order to better keep procurement documents and reports; and (v) Publication of the Award of Contract according to the World Bank Procurement and Consultant Guidelines

Project Risks Medium-I

Design

Project design complexity with multiple stakeholders involved in implementation may pose a risk for effective project implementation and insufficient coordination.

The project will continue the efforts to ensure effective implementation made under the original project, including strengthening of the implementing agencies, support to effective coordination and capacity strengthening of key staff in implementation agencies. Furthermore, the new project will continue the effective communication strategies and practices currently undertaken under the existing project.

Social and Environmental

Social and environmental risks associated with investments under the project due to capacity constraints at implementing agencies to comply with Bank Safeguard policies and requirements.

The ESMF and RPF for the original project provide guidance on the management of safeguards. To date, two ESIAs have also been prepared, consulted upon, and disclosed. A dedicated staff is in place and the

Implementing Entity to manage and supervise safeguards compliance for the additional financing. Mitigation measures include the measures undertaken in the original project: (i) the follow-up and the supervision of subprojects’ EMPs and/or RAPs; (ii) sharing project safeguards instruments with project stakeholders; (iii) strengthening the capacity of the various stakeholder groups in environmental and social assessment and monitoring and reporting procedures, (iv) ensuring that proposed mitigations measures are effectively implemented; and (v) ensuring that local communities are involved in the implementation and monitoring of activities.

Program and Donor

Lack of coordination between DPs may lead to suboptimal project outcomes

EIREP as well as EIREP-AF complement and leverage support of other development partners (including AFD, EC, KfW and AfDB) and ensure synergy between WB financed project and other DPs interventions.

Delivery Quality

Limited experience with IDA procurement procedures causing substantial delays in project implementation (contract management risks). Sustainability of the investments could be compromised if adequate maintenance is not provided for.

Project design demands total disclosure of procurement information and advertisement of procurement activities. Further, the project is using a combined approach of mitigation measures to ensure good performance of contractors, including: (i) encouragement of national competition during procurement phase, (ii) follow up of on contractor’s effective capacity before awarding contracts, (iii) close monitoring of performance and (iv) applying incentives and penalties established in the contracts under the project. The project will build on complimentarity and synergy with works that are on-going in support of the Government and the Municipality of Lomé, and will continue building their capacity to developing maintenance and rehabilitation culture.

Annex 3: Detailed Implementation and Procurement Arrangements

Implementation Arrangements (as per original project)

1. In close consultation and collaboration with GoT and other stakeholders, the institutional

and implementation arrangements for the project have been agreed upon as follows

(similar to the original project):

MUDH is the GoT-designated Ministry responsible for the project and will continue to be

the Bank’s main counterpart. It ensures that the project is correctly implemented in a

timely fashion, and development objectives are achieved.

Chaired by the Minister of Urban Development & Housing, an Inter-ministerial Steering

Committee (Comité Interministériel de Supervision - ISC) has been set up with overall

responsibility for: (i) setting the strategic direction of the project; (ii) oversight and

supervision responsibilities for project implementation; (iii) coordinating stakeholder

actions; and (iv) alleviating administrative and political bottlenecks that may hinder

project implementation and achievement of objectives. The ISC is composed of

representatives of partner institutions (MUDH, Ministries of Public Works; Mines,

Energy and Water Affairs; Municipality of Lomé, TdE, CEET, two members of the

Project Preparation Committee, at least two representatives of the beneficiary

communities in the neighborhoods of Lomé where the project is implemented and one

representative of the umbrella organization of NGOs. The steering committee is meeting

at least twice a year. Once a year, the Steering Committee approves the work plans

prepared by the various partner institutions and agreed with the implementing entity

subject to IDA’s no-objection. It reviews progress of work plans implementation and

provide recommendations to accelerate implementation, as needed.

A Technical Secretariat (TS) located within the Technical Department of the Ministry of

Urban Development and Housing is headed by a competitively recruited Project

Coordinator who is in charge of day-to-day project management, responsible for

communicating with IDA, and for overseeing monitoring and evaluation (M&E). In

particular, the Project Coordinator liaises with the different partner institutions and

ensures that the agreed work plans with these institutions are undertaken smoothly. The

Project Coordinator is supported by a Results Monitoring & Evaluation specialist. In

addition, the Technical Secretariat comprises of an Internal Auditor and support staff

(Administrative Assistant and two drivers). The Ministry of Urban Development and

Housing has seconded a Procurement Specialist and a Communications Officer to the TS

to support the work of the TS and who will receive capacity training from the project, but

whose salaries would be paid by the GoT.

The Technical Secretariat has four main functions in its support of the ISC and project

implementation: (i) execution of the project on behalf of MUDH and GoT, follow-up and

33

evaluation of work performed by the Project Implementing Entity (AGETUR-Togo)8; (ii)

act as the technical adviser to the ISC; (iii) endorse consolidated technical and financial

project reports from the implementing entity for onward transmission to the World Bank

and GoT; and (iv) ensure dissemination of lessons learned from the project to all

participating agencies, beneficiary communities and other stakeholder institutions, as

well as manage the overall project communications strategy.

Each partner institution has nominated a focal point for the project. The focal point or

their alternate is the day-to-day contact between the partner institution and the Technical

Secretariat and submits quarterly reports on their activities in their Units related to the

project.

The Government delegates all project-related works and goods contract management

responsibilities to the Project Implementing Entity, AGETUR-Togo. The Project

Implementing Entity is responsible for the technical and fiduciary aspects (financial

management and procurement) of the implementation of project Component A

(Infrastructure Rehabilitation) and Component B (Institutional Strengthening). This is

specified in a delegated contract management agreement between the Government and

the implementing entity.

Technical assistance agreements have been signed between the Municipality of Lomé and

AGETUR-Togo for the roads and drainage activities; and between AGETUR-Togo and

the Ministry of Mines, Energy, and Water for the energy and water activities. The

Municipality of Lomé provides technical support to AGETUR-Togo for the

implementation of Sub-Component A1 (Drainage rehabilitation); Municipality of Lomé

provides technical support to AGETUR-Togo for the implementation of sub-component

A2 (Urban roads rehabilitation); and MUDH provides technical support to AGETUR-

Togo for the implementation of project Component B.

CEET, TdE, DGH, and the Municipality of Lomé respectively provide direct input into

crafting all Terms of Reference and Bidding documents for all contracts to be executed in

the components in their respective domains; each of these entities reviews, under

specified timeframe, the technical and operational performances associated with the

design and building of related facilities and equipment and ensure that the facilities are

appropriately built. DGH, CEET, TdE, and the Municipality of Lomé are each

represented at the bids opening, evaluation and award of contracts for studies,

consultancies and/or works, in the components under their domain, and they would also

support AGETUR-Togo in the supervision of the works on facilities which is handed

over to them for operation upon completion.

8AGETUR-Togo was created through an initiative of the World Bank and the Government (Ministry of Economy and Development) in 1994

as part of the outcomes of the Lomé Urban Development Project, financed by the Bank and which closed in 2002. AGETUR-Togo has

executed projects worth Euros 19 million in the last five years for various donors, including the AFD, EU and BOAD. AGETUR-Togo’s

Operation Manual was prepared under the World Bank executed Lomé Urban Development Project and was approved by the Assembly of

AGETUR-Togo in 1994. The Manual of Operation has elaborate details on Procurement, Safeguards and Financial Management Procedures

which all comply with the World Bank project implementation procedures. The Manual has been updated under the original project and as will

be further updated under the additional financing project to include all required revisions. The proposed implementing entity was also judged

by stakeholders to have good record of executing projects in good working relations and collaborations with the Government, NGOs,

academia, communities and civil society in general. Its operational performance and efficiency were also attested to by the donor agencies that

had worked with it.

Detailed description of communications initiative under the project (as per original

project):

2. A Communications Specialist has been recruited and is operating under the original

project. The main objectives of the communication specialist are to: (i) facilitate the flow

of information between the various agencies involved in project implementation wi th the

view of creating an environment of transparency and accountability (with regard to flow

of funds, activities to undertake, outputs, and outcomes) and facilitate strategic decisions

at all levels; and (ii) ensure that the project’s main objectives and progress being achieved

are well communicated to the immediate beneficiaries, and to the general public at large

taking into account suggestions, comments and ideas received as feedback from project

beneficiaries.

3. The main aspects of the project that could be considered as communications issues could

include the following: environmental and social aspects; transparency in the procurement

process; communities’ involvement, participation and ownership; and also possible

political interference during project implementation. Any problem that could arise on

any of these fronts should be clearly identified and an appropriate communication plan

should be developed in a timely fashion to address them. The existing comprehensive

communications strategy under the existing project will be applied under the AF, taking

into account all stakeholders in the public and private sectors, civil society and the media,

and to ensure consistency of messages to targeted audiences. Lessons learned from the

project will be shared as appropriate with all participating agencies, beneficiary

communities, and other stakeholder institutions. All studies and reports conducted in the

framework of the project will be appropriately disseminated according to the Bank’s

Disclosure Policy.

Detailed procurement arrangements, estimated costs and methods (as per original project)

4. Procurement methods will rely on competitive process in most cases, essentially

International Competitive Bidding (ICB) and National Competitive Bidding (NCB) for

goods, works and non-consulting services, and Quality-Cost Based Selection (QCBS) for

consultancy services.

5. Prior-Review Thresholds: The procurement plan shall set forth those contracts which

shall be subject to the World Bank’s Prior review. All other contracts shall be subject to

Post review by the World Bank. However, relevant contracts below prior review

thresholds listed below which are deemed complex and/or have significant risk levels will

be prior-reviewed. Such contracts will also be identified in the procurement plans. A

summary of prior-review and procurement method thresholds for the project are indicated

in the table below.

6. Procurement of Works: The total cost of contracts of Works to be financed by IDA under

the AF is estimated at about US$ 13 million (equivalent). The works would include (i)

emergency repairs and construction of certain critical sections on the drainage network of

the city of Lomé, rehabilitation and extension of some primary and secondary drains,

rehabilitation of shoulders and side ditches of the primary drainage network and (ii)

rehabilitation of urban roads. Contracts of works estimated to cost US$3,000,000

equivalent or more per contract shall be procured through International Competitive

Bidding (ICB). Contracts estimated to cost less than US$3,000,000 equivalent may be

procured through NCB. Contract estimated to cost less than US$50,000 equivalent per

contract may be procured through shopping procedures. For shopping, contracts will be

awarded following evaluation of bids received in writing on the basis of written

solicitation issued to several qualified suppliers (at least three) who have a physical office

in Togo. The award would be made, to the contractor with the lowest price, only after

comparing a minimum of three quotations open at the same time, provided they have the

experience and resources to execute the contract successfully. For shopping, the project

procurement officer will keep a register of contractors updated at least six monthly.

7. Procurement of Goods: The total cost of contracts of Goods to be financed by IDA under

the AF is estimated at about US$0.3 million (equivalent). The items would include: office

supplies, etc. Similar Goods that could be provided by the same vendor would be grouped

37

in bid packages estimated to cost at least US$300,000 per contract and would be procured

through International Competitive Bidding (ICB). Contracts estimated to cost less than

US$300,000 equivalent may be procured through NCB. Goods estimated to cost less than

US$50,000 equivalent per contract may be procured through shopping procedures. For

shopping, the condition of contract award shall be the same process as described above

for procurement of Works.

8. Selection of Consultants: The project will finance Consultant Services such as studies,

surveys, technical and financial audits, technical assistance, activities under the

institutional strengthening component, engineering designs and supervision of works,

trainers and workshops facilitators; the total amount of consultant services is estimated at

US$ 0.2 million (equivalent). Consultant firms will be selected through the following

methods: (a) Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS); (b) Consultant’s Qualification

(CQS) for contracts which amounts are less than US$50,000 equivalent, exceptional

studies and research which require specialized firms with a specific expertise and strong

capacities; (c) Least Cost Selection (LCS) for standard tasks such as insurances and,

financial and technical audits ; (d) Single Source Selection (SSS), with prior agreement of

IDA, for services in accordance with the paragraphs 3.10 to 3.12 of Consultant

Guidelines. Individual Consultant (IC) will be hired in accordance with paragraph 5.1 to

5.4 of Bank Guidelines. Sole source may be used only with prior review of the Bank.

9. Short lists of consultants for services estimated to cost less than US$200,000 equivalent

per contract may be composed entirely of national consultants in accordance with the

provisions of paragraph 2.7 of the Consultant Guidelines, if a sufficient number of

qualified individuals or firms are available. However, if foreign firms express interest,

they would not be excluded from consideration.

10. Training, Workshops, Study Tours, and Conferences: The training (including training

material and support), workshops, conference attendance and study tours, will be carried

out on the basis of approved annual training and similar activities plan. A detailed

training or workshop plan giving nature of training/workshop, number of

trainees/participants, duration, staff months, timing and estimated cost will be submitted

to IDA for review and approval prior to initiating the process. The appropriate methods

of selection will be derived from the detailed schedule. After the training, the

beneficiaries will be requested to submit a brief report indicating what skill have been

acquired and how these skills will contribute to enhance their performance and contribute

to the attainment of the project objective.

11. Operational Costs: Operating costs financed by the Project are incremental expenses,

including office supplies, vehicles operation and maintenance, maintenance of

equipment, communication costs, rental expenses, utilities expenses, consumables,

transport and accommodation, per diem, supervision costs and salaries of locally

contracted staff. They will be procured using the procurement procedures specified in the

Project Administrative, Financial and Accounting Manual acceptable to IDA.
