16. Project Approved cost and financial progress Sl. No Implementing Agency Name Total Approved Cost (RDPP) (in lac Tk.) Expenditure for FY 20-21 Vs ADP All.. Total Expenditure (Up to Feb 2021) 1 URP: DNCC 80,590 4,528.77 (87%) 59,859.51 (74.3%) 2 URP: RAJUK 53,665 3,727.49 (134%) 19,851.36 (37%) 3 URP: DDM 12,515 467.34 (11%) 4,887.50 (39%) 4 URP: PCMU 4,530 652.66 (53%) 2,178.45 (48%) Total 151,300 9,376.3 (69.6%) 86,776.82 (57.35%) Total project cost US $182 million. (US $173 million IDA Credit, US $9 million from GoB as operating costs. Project Duration: March 2015 to April 2022;

17. Challenges Due to postponement of Training, Exercise and Drill (TED) , the achievement of PDOI -3, IRI-6 & 7 are at high risk; Due to delayed financial settlement with REM/DTCL the financial restructuring (if needed for Rajuk) could be delayed Operation & Maintenance (O&M) of purchased Goods & equipment and overall Sustainability of URP; Completion of URU Construction within the project duration is tight and could be delayed ; specially the service pile work might not be completed within the scheduled period before the rainy season starts URU Operationalization (S6) -- within the project duration (April 2022) is challenging due to shortage of fund and the timeframe.

18. Recommendations & Conclusions (long Term) Following issues need t0 be anlysed and review critically. Essentialness of TED ; that is very crucial to achieve PDIO 3, IRI 6 &7 , URU Operationalization (C1) – Package S-6 will be ended in June 2021. Package S-6 needs to be redefined to increase its scope of work with a view to fully operationalize the URU. Comprehensive plan & budget for Operation & Maintenance (O&M) of purchased Goods & equipment and overall Sustainability of URP; Considering the COVID situation & time frame the above three critical and essential requirements; those aren’t possible to be completed within the project period . We recommend to initiate URP-II (decision time now??) with additional budget to complete the mentioned tasks effectively and efficiently.

19. Recommendations & Conclusions (Short term) TED is essential to achieve PDIO 3, IRI 6 &7 . There is no alternative of TED to achieve these indicators. Considering the short duration of the project G2G system to hire trainers/mentors and conduct training would serve the purpose. DDM is recommended to complete the financial settlement with REM/DTCL asap so that the left over amount could be utilized. Considering from the project Evaluation point of view , it is essential either to complete TED to achieve the mentioned indicators or Restructure the Results Framework and Readjust the scope of Indicators those are related to Training, Exercise and Drills. Construction of two basement (Mat foundation) for URU is very critical to complete before the - rainy reason.
