The Project has disbursed US$1,386,000 of the total Credit amount (27.7%), an amount that has not changed since the last ISR. Delays in Project implementation can be largely attributed to: (i) setbacks in key operational processes (namely the validation of Operations Manual by the Inter-Sectoral Technical Committee and Cabinet, the development and Page 1 of 5  The World Bank Report No: ISR11648 application of the targeting tool, and the implementation of the Information and Education Campaign (IEC) , thus further delaying the achievement of the second set of disbursement linked indicators (DLIs), originally scheduled to be achieved by November 2012; and (ii) a change in Government in February 2013 and in Project management in April 2013(ii). An Action Plan for meeting the 2012 DLIs by March 2013 was submitted to the World Bank on November 1, 2012, with follow-up progress report received on January 15, 2013 and March 12, 2013. On August 7, 2013, the new Support for Education Empowerment and Development (SEED) Programme management submitted a draft of a revised Action Plan. Public Disclosure Copy The SEED team is working on making some revisions and will re-submit at the end of August for the Bank's No Objection. Component 1: A disbursement (untied to DLIs) was scheduled for May 2013 for US$250,000; however, the withdrawal application has yet to be submitted due to staffing constraints in the Project Coordination Unit (PCU). This disbursement would be used to finance transfers made to beneficiaries under the SEED Programme. Component 2: A number of consultancies continue to be financed under component 2 including for the design and implementation of the IEC, the completion of Phase II of the Management Information System (MIS), and the design and application of a targeting tool. These consultancies are advancing, albeit slowly.
