I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING

1. The Skills Development Project (SDP) was approved by the World Bank Board on June 19, 2014, and became effective on May 11, 2015. The project closing date is June 30, 2019. The project has realized a significant developmental impact to date. Four of the six PDO indicators are on track to being met and indeed exceeded; as are seven of nine intermediate results indicators. Project ratings have been steadily improving since Moderately Unsatisfactory in March 2016, and have been Moderately Satisfactory or Satisfactory for Implementation Progress for more than one year and progress towards achievement of the PDO for more than nine months.

2. Under Component 1, all participating institutions (PIs) have met all Disbursement Linked Results (DLRs) in Year 1 and Year 2, which have been verified by a third-party validation (TPV) firm for all five institutions. The validation of Year 3 results is currently underway. Under Component 2, NCHE plans to commission 20 consultancy services, out of which eight are concluded as of November 2017. Moreover, the PDO – to increase access, market relevance, and results orientation of supported skills development institutions in agreed priority areas – remains relevant, as in general do the PDO indicators with a focus on acquisition of skills by students, given the Government’s strategy for economic development will require enhanced skills in technical and scientific disciplines. The MTR also re-affirmed the relevance of the project design, given the achievements of the project to date, especially the use of Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) to spur entrepreneurial behavior amongst the participating institutions and a focus on institutions identifying and pursuing their comparative advantages within an overall development strategy. The project has stepped up its use of technical assistance to address emerging issues.

3. Under a previous project restructuring, the disbursement category of unallocated funds (US$4.5 million equivalent) was cancelled, effective April 1, 2016. The amount was reallocated to the Malawi Africa Centers of Excellence (ACEs) under the ACEII project (P151847) upon request by the government, as foreshadowed in the SDP Project Appraisal Document.1 There has been only one project restructuring to date.

4. The government has incurred an estimated financial loss of about US$1.7 million arising from currency conversions from Special Drawing Rights (SDR) to US$ in the past two disbursements. The current exchange rate remains significantly below the rate at Approval despite recent gains, and though there is some uncertainty in calculating the loss over the total project period, it is clear that it will be a significant amount given the total disbursements to date, the prevailing exchange rate and the time to Closing. With an assumption that an exchange rate continues to be at the current level, the projected loss for the remainder of the project would be US$3.15 million, meaning a total loss of about US$4.85 million across the whole project period. The losses have led to reduced flexibility in the institutions’ budgets given that some large contracts were signed early during implementation. Some activities slated for the final year, such as instructional materials, equipment purchases as well as rehabilitative works may not be completed. Moreover, further financial loss is likely to affect the completion of the civil works at the institutions. Although Component 1 uses a DLI approach, the institutions rely on IDA funds disbursed upon the achievement of the results due to paucity of government funds.

5. NCHE has executed the activities under the Component 2 (Technical Assistance). NCHE has conducted several consultancy activities, including the development of higher education student loans mechanism and tracer studies.

1 There was an amendment to the Financing Agreement on March 29, 2014 which corrected some errors in the DLI matrix. No formal restructuring was processed.


NCHE also conducted staff capacity development activities. However, due to the capacity at NCHE, several activities have been delayed. In addition, NCHE, like the participating institutions, has also been affected by the loss due to exchange rate change between SDR and US$. In response, NCHE has prioritized the activities to be supported by the remaining balance of the funds, and has prepared a revised budget and procurement plan.

6. Finally, there is an unused balance from disbursement category for the Project Preparation Advance (PPA) which needs to be reallocated to another disbursement category to be available for disbursement.

7. Considering all this implementation experience, the government requested a project restructuring (letter dated October 18, 2017) to:

a. reallocate the unused balance from the PPA to complete the prioritized activities under Component 2b. change target values of some PDO Indicators, Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) and intermediate

results (IR) indicators – moving many up and some down to more realistic target values; and,c. clarify the definitions of some indicators.

II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

8. The proposed changes are: a) changes in the Results Framework, b) reallocation of funds between disbursement categories, and c) changes to the DLI matrix.

a) Changes in the Results Framework

9. The proposed changes in the results framework include: 1) changes in target values with clarification of the definitions for selected PDO and IR indicators, 2) replacement of one PDO indicator, and 3) addition of one sub IR Indicator.

PDO Indicators

10. Out of six PDO indicators and one sub-indicator, the government proposed to change the targets in five PDO indicators and one sub-indicator (though no changes to the wording of the indicators is proposed). The government also proposed to replace one PDO indicator with a new indicator.

11. PDO 1. Direct project beneficiaries. Based on implementation experience, the government proposed to increase the overall target number of direct project beneficiaries from 7,200 to 13,000 at the end of project. The direct project beneficiaries include both students and members of staff from the institutions participating in the project. Two developments indicate the target number should be increased: first, the newly developed programs in Community Skills Development Centers (CSDCs) are being used across CSDCs and not just the pre-selected twelve CSDCs, so students at all CSDCs should be considered project beneficiaries; and second, there are more staff trained through NCHE activities, and more students at LUANAR on face-to-face programs than had been anticipated. However, one development tends to reduce the original target: Polytechnic has indicated that it will not be able to reach its original student enrollment targets, mainly because of the circumstances beyond its control, i.e., the university imposing a steep increase in fees for its new diploma programs without students having access to government loans and continuing slow approvals of new


programs and student enrollment by the university administration. Taking into consideration these aspects, the government proposed to revise the targets of the beneficiaries as in Table 1.

Table 1.Baseline Year 3 Year 4 Project end

Current 0 4,590 5,650 7,200Revised 0 5,920 7,790 13,000

12. PDO 1 sub-indicator. Proportion of female beneficiaries. The government proposed to reduce the end-project target from 44 percent to 31 percent. The current achievement is 27 percent, which represents a marginal improvement from the first year of 26 percent but which is 13 percentage points behind the expected progress by MTR (39 percent) and 18 percentage points away from the original end-project target (44 percent). At MTR, the originally agreed targets have proven to be unreasonably high. During project preparation, the target figures were estimated based on available data from relevant studies and the draft Institutional Improvement Plans (IIPs) submitted by PIs. However, at baseline no robust management information system existed (this is being pursued under Component 2) and the available data was not independently verified in the way that reporting under the project has been; plus, the project beneficiaries are mainly from programs which did not exist at the baseline. It was therefore to be expected that the target figures would be difficult to predict accurately. Through the project implementation, PIs and NCHE have improved their M&E function, and now the third-party validation agency has validated data submitted by PIs. Therefore, the proposed new targets can be considered more realistic and achievable, also reflecting on-going affirmative actions on female participation (for instance, more female students in science programs) at students’ selection for various institutions and science open days for secondary schools. The project will continue to contribute to and monitor improvements in female participation.


Current 0% 40% 42% 44%Revised 0% 27% 28% 31%

13. PDO 2. Number of skills trainees from rural areas. The government proposed to increase the project-end target from 4,100 to 6,500, reflecting the fact that trainees from all 35 CSDCs —located in rural areas— now benefit from the project as opposed to the original target of the Project (trainees from the 12 CSDCs).


Current 0 2,100 3,000 4,100Revised 0 2,170 3,170 6,500

14. PDO 4. The proportion of students/ trainees who pass the annual assessment. The government proposed to reduce the end-project target from 70 percent to 63 percent. This is mainly because the target of LUANAR for students passing the annual assessments of its new distance learning programs is more realistically estimated at 25 percent for Year 3 target, against the originally agreed target of 60 percent for Year 3, and accordingly the target of the overall project is proposed to decrease. Students enrolled in ODL programs tend to face challenges in passing assessments, compared to students in regular programs. For instance, one of the reasons to be considered is that students support services such as tutoring and mentoring provided at ODL satellite centers are still not sufficient despite of on-going efforts. The targets for other institutions remain the same and are on track to be achieved.



Current 0% 60% 65% 70%Revised 0% 53% 58% 63%

15. PDO 5. Course graduation/ completion rate. The government requested to reduce the end of project target from 65 percent to 59 percent. The target for LUANAR for completion of new distance learning programs is estimated to down to 35 percent, and accordingly the target of the overall project was proposed to decrease. Students enrolled in ODL programs tend to drop out more, compared to students in regular programs. For instance, one of the reasons to be considered is that students support services provided at ODL satellite centers are still not sufficient despite of on-going efforts. The targets for other institutions remain the same.

16. PDO 6. Improvements in employer satisfaction levels with the skills and knowledge of graduates in priority areas. It was proposed that the project replace the original indicator which focused on employer satisfaction with the ‘graduate satisfaction’ indicator derived from the graduate tracer study data which has been completed successfully by all institutions. During the MTR, the World Bank team and the government agreed that it has not been possible to measure employer satisfaction reliably. A first employment survey was conducted under the project in 2016 but it was not possible to replicate the methodology used in 2008 for the baseline and moreover the 2016 methodology proved unsatisfactory.

17. The proposed new indicator – ‘Improvements in graduate labor market success rate’ – would combine the length of time a graduate took to get their first job with a measure of their satisfaction with their job. For length of time, this would take the percentage of those who obtain their first job within 12 months. For job satisfaction, this would be measured by a question in the graduate survey which provides a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest level. Responses of 4 or 5 will be considered as being satisfied. On this basis, the satisfaction rate from the first graduate survey is calculated as 57 percent, and this will be taken as the baseline for this indicator. The end-of-project target will be set at an improvement of 5 percent, i.e., as 62 percent. This newly proposed indicator is measurable and data will be collected by the existing survey instrument (tracer study), and measures the market relevance of the project.


New 57% - - 62%

IR Indicators

18. The government proposed to change the targets of two out of eight IR Indicators, change the definition of one IR indicator, and add one sub IR Indicator as part of IR Indicator 5.


19. IR Indicator 3. Number of programs developed/ curriculum revised with private sector participation as per IIP and imparted during implementation period. The government proposed to increase the target number of the programs to be developed from 39 to 44 at the end of the project. During the MTR, the team observed that Chancellor College and Polytechnic have already developed and implemented more than what they originally planned, and LUANAR also met the end project target already. The TEVETA has developed 15 programs already, out of which 11 are being implemented. Reflecting this progress made to date, the revision of the target is proposed as follows.


Current 0 39 39 39Revised 0 39 39 44

20. IR Indicator 4. Proportion of faculties selected for Staff Development Program returned to the institution after completing their training programs and resumed teaching. While the project retains the indicator, the government proposed to change the definition of ‘completing their training programs’ to mean, for those studying for a PhD only, that they have ‘successfully defended their dissertation/thesis proposal’. Following their successful defense, a candidate is given a notification letter from a university/ defense committee, and this will serve as the basis for verification. This change was proposed because of the one year delay in project effectiveness which has led insufficient time for staff in PhD programs to complete PhD programs, return to and resume teaching at the institutions within the project period.

21. IR Indicator 5. Published tracer studies as per action plan. The government proposed to reduce the number of tracer studies to be published throughout the project period from 17 to 12. Due to the lack of funds, and the delay of the technical assistance on the tracer study, PIs will not be able to conduct tracer studies as planned, and thus it was proposed to not conduct any tracer studies in Year 3. The table below shows the number of studies to be completed in each year (the table is not cumulative).


Current 0 5 1 5Revised 0 0 1 5

22. Sub-indicator for IR Indicator 5. Proportion of graduates that the institution maintains contact with annually. In place of one tracer study, it was agreed that the PIs would be required to show they are maintaining contact with at least 50 percent of graduates from 2016. The PIs should demonstrate active communication between them and students after graduation, being in touch with their graduates at least once a year through recognized media (email, social media platforms etc.). In the fourth year of the project, the PIs are expected to demonstrate the proportion of 2016 graduates traced by them through active communication (contact should be with graduates ‘of the most recent year’). The indicator will assess only 2016 graduates (Polytechnic will also trace 2015 graduates). The result for each institution is measured in binary (zero or one): counting “1” for an institution that is in contact with 50 percent or more, and “0” for an institution which is not. It is expected that all the institutions maintain contact with at least 50 percent of graduates by Year 4 of the project.

23. The proposed revised DLI matrix for each PI —Annex 1 of the Restructuring Paper— is in line with the proposed changes in the Results Framework.

b) Reallocation between Disbursement Categories

24. As described in the above section of the project status, the government partially used the funds allocated to the PPA. The government requested for reallocating SDR 513,033, the balance of Disbursement Category (3) Refund of Project Preparation Advance, to Category (2) Goods, non-consulting services, consultant services, training and operating costs under Part B of the Project so that NCHE will fully utilize available financial resources to complete prioritized activities (the development of a higher education management system, a higher education student financing mechanism, and a national quality assurance mechanism) under Component 2 (Part B of Schedule 1 to the Financing Agreement), which aims for system strengthening and policy reform. These activities have a higher priority than using the funding for an additional tracer study (since it is not necessary to carry out a tracer study every year as market conditions do not generally change so rapidly).

c) Changes in the Disbursement Linked Indicator matrix

25. Since some of the PDO and IR indicators are also included in the DLI Matrix (Annex 4 of the Financing Agreement), this Matrix (which comprises targets at the level of the PIs) will be amended to reflect these changes.

26. In addition, the DLI Matrix will be amended to clarify how partial achievement of Disbursement Linked Results will be rewarded in line with the understandings as set out in the PAD, specifically:

- For DLI #2, rather than having annual targets to achieve, the PIs will have an overall project target (consisting of the sum of the yearly targets as set out in the Results Framework) and will be able to claim disbursement as follows:

Table 10.If institutions meet DLI target by: DLI amount to be disbursed

80% and above 100%70-79% 90%60-69% 80%50-59% 60%

- For DLRs 3.3 and 3.4, rather than having annual targets to achieve, the PIs will have an overall project target to complete all construction activities, but will be able to claim disbursement as follows:

Table 11.If institutions meet DLI target by: DLI amount to be disbursed

80% and above 100%40-79% 75%15-39% 35%

27. Moreover, the DLI Matrix will be amended to reflect the changes of the targets of IR Indicator 5 and the introduction of a sub-Indicator for IR Indicator 5 (para 19 and 20), specifically:


- DLR 6.2 and allocated amount to this DLR for Polytechnic, Chancellor College, LUANAR, and Mzuzu University will be removed. Similarly, DLR 6.3 and allocated amount to this DLR for TEVETA will be removed. Allocated amounts for the DLRs are different from PI to PI as in the Financing Agreement.

- A new DLR —trace 50% of 2016 graduates through database creation— will be introduced for Year 5 under DLI #6 for all five PIs, and the exact amount removed from DLR 6.3 for TEVETA and DLR 6.2 from the other four PIs will be attached to this new DLR.

28. Furthermore, the DLI Matrix will be amended to reflect the reduction of student enrollment targets for PDO Indicator 1 (para 10), specifically

- DLR 2.1 and allocated amount (SDR 275,000) for Polytechnic will be removed.

- A new DLR —trace 50% of 2015 graduates through database creation— will be introduced for Year 4 under DLI#6 for Polytechnic and the exact amount removed from DLR2.1 from Polytechnic will be attached to this new DLR.

29. A proposed revision of the DLI matrix is attached as Annex 1.2

30. The Sub-Project Grant Agreements (SPGAs) (Section I. C. of Schedule 2 to the Financing Agreement) and the Project Implementation Manual (PIM) (Section I. B. of Schedule 2 to the Financing Agreement) need to be aligned with the amendment to the Financing Agreement and the revisions to the Results Framework proposed under this restructuring. The government needs to revise the SPGAs and PIM and submit them to IDA for its review and clearance.

31. If approved, this will be the second restructuring of the project.

2 A typographical error appears in the revised DLI Matrix (Annex 4 to the Financing Agreement) as agreed in March 2014 and will be corrected (in DLI#4 for Mzuzu University the Amount of the Financing Allocated should be 1,170,000 rather than 1,117,000).
