Madagascar Second Multisectoral STI/HIV/AIDS Prevention Project

The Second Multisectoral STI/HIV/AIDS Prevention Project aims at supporting the Government of Madagascar's efforts to promote a multi-sectoral response to the HIV/AIDS crisis and to contain the spread of HIV/AIDS on its territory. 

In this context, and in line with the recommendations of the December 2008 mid-term review as well as the April and October 2011 supervision missions, the restructuring includes: (a) eliminating the Fund for STI/HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care-Taking which was not effective in delivering key interventions to target populations, (b) increasing the health sector response by scaling-up contracting with non-government organizations (NGOs) for delivery of services directly to target populations, and (c) strengthening monitoring and evaluation (M&E) including better aligning project activities to intermediate and outcome indicators. 

In addition, the project closing date will be extended by one year to December 31, 2012 in order to consolidate achievements and measure the results of proposed changes.

Madagascar.Transport Infrastructure Investment Projet Proyect

Before the crisis in early 2009, most of the major infrastructure works scheduled to be financed by the project were completed (periodic maintenance of National Road #RN- 7; works to make the port of Mahajanga compliant with minimum international safety requirements; railways infrastructure rehabilitation on the Northern Railway Network), and the project was performing satisfactorily. With the disbursement suspension, the implementation of on-going contracts (works on RN2, port of Toliary, railways infrastructure, and studies for bridges rehabilitation) was suspended, and arrears incurred after the crisis were blocked. Since the project#s disbursement resumption in May, 2011, all pending arrears were cleared.

The project#s funds are almost used up, with a disbursement rate of 97%. However, the Borrower wishes to continue to use the remaining funds by the Project#s closing date, on June 30, 2011. Therefore, at the end of September 2011, they submitted a request to restructure the project. However, since clarifications are necessary regarding the resumption of suspended contracts, the Bank requested further details. Likewise, pending issues (the settlement of disagreement on RN2 through a mutually satisfactory agreement, and the restructuring of the Northern railways concession) need to be fixed. The project#s restructuring request which should be finalized by the end of November, 2011.
