The RATP has procured all major studies to be accomplished under the project and they are at various stages of implementation. Page 1 of 5

2 An implementation review mission was conducted in December That mission found that RATP is on track for completed all expected outputs prior to the projects October 2012 closing date; however, the mission also noted that RATP and NELSAP Management must continue to monitor project delivery to ensure timely completion.
