INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

On June 15, 2016, an agreement was signed between the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia represented by Ministry of Finance and Economic Cooperation and International Development Association (IDA) in order to support the Ethiopian Government's economic development including the implementation of the Growth and Transformation Plan(GTP)-11 which emphasizes the improvement in the provision of infrastructure and services, poverty reduction, and attainment of middle income status by the middle of the next decade. The project will support urban transport performance and governance in Addis Ababa and in Dire Dawa which is critical for the cities to function as the engine of economic development for the country, and modernize key national-level vehicle, licensing and driver training systems upon which transport operations rely.

The IDA agrees to make available a credit (Credit No. 5816 ET) in an amount equivalent to 213,000,000 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) to improve mobility along selected corridors in the City· of Addis Ababa and the effectiveness of road safety compliance systems throughout the territory. The project is a seven-year program running from June 15, 2016 to December 31, 2023 to be implemented in two chartered cities namely Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa; nine regional states; namely Afar, Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambela, Harari, Oromia, Somali, Tigray and SNNPR and seventy four Zones with a total estimated budget of USD 300 million.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The major components of the program, which in tum constitute sub-components, are broadly categorized into three. These are

a) Traffic Management and Road Safety in the City of Addis Ababa

This component will include four subcomponents. • Improving the Traffic and Safety Management Practices in the City of Addis Ababa • Improving Road and Pedestrians Safety Interventions of Selected Corridors at Identified

Locations and Strengthening the Capacity of Addis Ababa City Roads Authority Addis (AACRA).

• Improving Traffic Oversight, Public Transport Services and Systems and Strengthening the Capacity of Public Freight and Transport Authority (PFT A) and the Anbessa City Bus Enterprise (ACBE).

• Supporting Ababa Road and Transport Bureau (AARTB) and the Transport Programs Management Office (TPMO) to improve their business planning and implementation

1.3

b) Improvement of Integrated Urban Planning and Transport System

This component will involve:

• Supporting the Addis Ababa Land Development and Management Bureau (AALDMB) to develop land use and transport plans for the City of Addis Ababa;

• Carrying out studies on transit-oriented developments and preparing plans and strategies to implement strategic transit-oriented development initiatives, and the provision of advisory and technical assistance to enhance the capacity of AALDMB in these activities and in light- rail master planning; and

• Strengthening the capacity of AALDMB in carrying out its business functions.

c) Road Safety Interventions and Institutional Strengthening of Selected Federal Transport Institutions

The component includes three subcomponents as follows:

• Improving Compliance with Road Transport Rules and Regulations Nationally, through Improved Driver Training, Developing an Integrated Driver Licensing and Vehicle Registration System, and Strengthening Federal Transport Authority's Capacity

• Improving Federal Traffic Enforcement Capability and Strengthening the Capacity of Federal Traffic Police

• Improving Oversight Capacity of Ministry of transport (MOT) and Ministry of Construction (MOC)

PROJECT COST AND FINANCING

On the agreement dated 15 June 2016, entered into between the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and International Development Association, IDA agrees to extend a credit (Credit No. 5816 ET) in an amount equivalent to 213,000,000 Special Drawing Rights (SOR) to improve mobility along selected corridors in the City of Addis Ababa and the effectiveness of road safety compliance systems throughout the territory.

Most of the project preparatory activities are funded under a Project Preparation Advance (PP A) in the amount of US$4.5 million. It is expected that any land acquisition and other costs related to the implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be covered entirely by the GoE. The rest of the activities of the project will be financed by IDA

The duration of the project is seven years, reflecting the complexity of the urban setting for implementation, the need for sequencing the project activities, and the long-term nature of the institutional and policy reforms supported through this project.

1.4 IMPLEMENTATION

Project execution will be carried out by two implementing agencies namely, AARTB and FTA, on behalf of themseves and several beneficiary entities, including AACRA, TMA, ACBE, Addis Ababa Traffic Police, MoT, MoC, Federal Traffic Police and AALMB. With regard to overall coordination of the project, MoT will be responsible while the two implementing agencies (i.e., AARTB and FTA will be responsible for the implementation of components or subcomponents A and B, and Component C respectively.

AARTB on its part has delegated the administration of procurement and financial management responsibilities to AACRA, while beneficiary entities will be responsible for initiating the preparation of terms of reference as well as specifications of their respective activities and submit them to the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) for finalizing and submission to the World Bank for review.

Project Implementation Units (PIUs)

There will be two PIUs, one associated with each implementing agency. AARTB has established a PIU under the TPMO and appointed a team for the preparation and implementation of the city activities under the project. The PIU is headed by a Team Leader who reports directly to the General Manager, TPMO. FTA has similarly established a PIU and appointed a Team Leader who reports directly to the Director Ceneral of the FT A. The PIUs, comprising regular staff supported by specialist consultants with the appropriate skills, experience and qualifications, are empowered to manage the day-to-day activities of their respective components of the project. Capacity building and training in managing World Bank financed projects, as well as managing and operating transport related information systems and databases, will be provided to the PIUs and the beneficiary agencies. Team members drawn from the permanent staff have already been appointed, while recruitment of the few remaining specialists is ongoing.

1.5 ACCOUNTING AND PROJECT MONITORING SYSTEM

Results Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring of project performance will be carried out by a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) consultant who will report on the progress toward achieving the objectives of the project against the indicators provided in the results framework and monitoring arrangements. The M&E consultant will also monitor the impacts of the risks identified in the Systematic Operations Risk Rating (SORT) Framework. FTA will select the university to participate in project monitoring and evaluation. The selected university will sign a contract with FT A and will work in close collaboration with the implementing agencies and beneficiary entities. The selected university will assign a team of experts and will provide both semi and annual reports. The Coordinator for the project will regularly monitor progress on implementation and effectiveness of the strategy, and work with the inter-agency oversight committee in addressing critical issues identified in the course of the project implementation. The committee will regularly brief all the agencies involved in the project.

Financial Management

A financial management (FM) assessment was conducted at AACRA and FTA, the project entities responsible for FM, in accordance with the Financial Management Manual issued by the Bank's Financial Management Sector Board. The assessment included the identification of key perceived financial management risks that may affect project implementation and proceeded to develop mitigation measures against such risks. AACRA and FTA will follow Government procedures in regard to the project, adjusting them to meet the Bank's specific requirements. Financial management manuals will be prepared as part of the Project Implementation Manuals (PIM) for each entity in line with overall Government procedures and will clarify project specific requirements. Financial management specialists have been recruited and assigned for AACRA. Further recruitments will continue to be made by FTA and AACRA to strengthen their capacity.

The project will prepare and submit two quarterly unaudited Interim Financial Reports (IFRs), one by AACRA and the other by FTA, for the respective parts of the project they implement. In regard to disbursement, the transaction based disbursement method using statements of expenditure will be used for both implementing entities when disbursing project funds to the Designated Accounts (DA) and for reimbursements. All disbursement methods are available to the project including advances to the designated accounts reimbursements, direct payments and special commitments.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies are described in Section 2.5.1.
