Implementation Status and Key Decisions Overall, the implementation of activities is well on track despite some delays for some activities. The policy dialogue on the institutionalization and mainstreaming of PNDP lessons went forward at the Minister level, with the launch of two studies to help the institutionalization objectives of phase 3. Comp. A: Local Development Support - The project has identified so far 800 micro-projects, 357 have been achieved, and 129 on-going. The Local Development Plan participatory elaboration process for the first wave of Communes (99) is nearly completed, and the process for 72 additional is about to start (contract signed). The revised Local Development Plan participative methodology aiming at including Displaced populations and fostering locally-driven initiatives ('solutions endogenes') has been piloted. The revision of the methodology for urban local councils with MINHDU is still ongoing. PNDP intervention strategy in Far North zones of insecurity is being implemented. Comp. B: Support to Decentralization process. Progress is as follow: (a) the MINATD identified the area for TA: (i) decentralization financing (ii) Communes HRM; (iii) capacity building of Service de Developpement Locaux newly created in district administration and (iii) pilot of programbudgeting for Communes. (b) Continuous capacity-building to 329 local councils on the accounting software SIM_BA is on-going (every trimester and on-demand), and installation is being prepared for the remaining 31, the software designed in French is now available in English for the English- Speaking region; and simplified budget and online database based on SIM_BA is being defined; (c) design and planning of training for local councils staff depend on the local council preliminary diagnosis (comp. A); (d) a Single Window for payment from the Communes has been designed and is being piloted in one district to shorten payments delays from a few weeks to a few days. Comp. C: Coordination, Management and M&E. The PIU is fully staffed and operational, and highly motivated. The Communication strategy has been finalized and is being implemented.
