Disclosable Restructuring Paper - TA for Capacity Development in Hydropower and Mining Sector - P109736

The development objective of the TA for Capacity Development in Hydropower and Mining Sector Project for Lao People's Democratic Republic is to increase human capacity and improve the performance of Government oversight institutions for the hydropower and mining sectors. The project is to extend the impact of the institutional and human capacity development efforts that are being supported under the original project. The outcome indicators remain relevant and achievable by the current project closing date of September 30, 2018. The proposed extension to September 30, 2019 will not affect the current Results Framework as the indicators have either already been achieved and targets have been exceeded, or are on track to being achieved prior to the revised closing date.
