A. Summary of Proposed Changes

This restructuring paper proposes a Level 2 Restructuring of the West Africa Regional Fisheries Program

(WARFP) in Guinea Bissau (WARFP SOP B1) at the request of the Government of Guinea Bissau, which

was officially communicated to the Bank by the Director General of Planning within the Ministry of

Economy and Finance on November 4, 2015. The request rests on the findings of the mission of October

2014 and further information/ observations garnered during the last World Bank implementation support

missions in July 2015 and April 2016.

The proposed changes are expected to enhance the government’s ability to achieve the original Project

Development Objective (PDO); enhance the implementing agency’s ability to measure the progress toward

achieving the original PDO; and remove complexities in project implementation. In specific, it is proposed

to:

1. Extend the project Closing Date by 12 months (from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017) to make up

for a 12 months suspension during the 2012 military takeover and the temporary absence of a

project coordinator in 2013 due to a decision taken within the responsible ministry.

2. Revise several activities, namely (i) drop the leasing and purchasing of a surveillance vessel under

Component 2 and use the proceeds to finance other project activities. Specifically, the removal of

the legal covenant on the purchasing of the surveillance vessel and the extension of the due date of

a covenant for a social impact assessment for the project to account for delays in implementing

this activity; (ii) instead of preparation of new fisheries management plans for select fisheries

species, the activity will be updating of existing ones and their subsequent adoption; (the existence

of management plans for these fisheries was not accounted for during project approval); and (iii)

removal of European Union (EU) certification requirements from the list of activities under

Component 3 due to the fact that accreditation for certification of fisheries products exports to the

EU is a process which neither the project nor the Government has control of. Corresponding

changes to components’ costs are also proposed.

3. Redefine several of the PDO Level and Intermediate Results Indicators and formulate new ones in

order to:

a) Ensure correct evaluation of project performance according to the revised activities

b) Remove long term program-level indicators that are inappropriate for the project and add new

project-specific indicators, including for project coordination and Monitoring and Evaluation

(M&E) (Component 4)

c) Correct some of the baseline and reference data originally stated

4. Reallocate IDA proceeds between expenditure categories to reflect the removal of surveillance

vessel leasing and purchasing allocations and redistribute the proceeds according to a new work

plan for the remaining duration of the project.

Page 5 of 25

5. Revise the disbursement schedule to reflect the extension of the closing date by one year and the

disbursement delays encountered by the project as a result of the implementation delays.

6. Make additional minor changes to the financing agreement to ensure consistency of activities’

numbering, definitions and costing within the financing agreement and consistency with the

Project Appraisal Document (PAD).

The proposed restructuring will not revise the PDO, will not trigger new safeguard policies and will not

change the EA Category (B-Partial Assessment). The project safeguard documents will continue to be used

for the extended project duration.

B. Project Status

The Project Development Objective is to strengthen the country’s capacity to govern and manage targeted

Page 6 of 25

fisheries, reduce illegal fishing and increase local value added to fish products. The project was approved

by the World Bank Board of Directors on March 7, 2011 for a total of US$8M (US$6M IDA grant and

US$2M Global Environment Facility (GEF) grant) with a closing date of June 30, 2016. The design of the

project follows the overall WARFP design, looking to build the capacity of the Government and

stakeholders to develop and implement policies, improve the country’s fisheries Monitoring, Control and

Surveillance (MCS) systems, and increase the share of the value-added captured in the region.

The PDO and Implementation Progress (IP) are rated Moderately Satisfactory and the Global Environment

Objective (GEO) is rated Satisfactory, reflecting a 12 months delay which the project has been

experiencing as a result of the year-long suspension period in 2012 and the temporary absence of a project

coordinator in 2013 following a decision within the responsible ministry. Despite these delays, the project

has made significant progress toward achieving the PDO. With regards to the governance and fisheries

management objective the project has concluded institutional and legal framework review and the drafting

of the necessary institutional and legal instruments, incorporating international good governance and

sustainable fisheries management best practices, and they are being adopted by the Government. Illegal

fishing has been reduced thanks to project-funded surveillance support to the government, resulting in a

reduction of serious infractions from 25 to 6 percent and from 25 to 3 percent for small scale fishing boats

and industrial vessels, respectively. Recent evaluations indicate that the country has been regaining control

of its national waters and has also increased its revenues from the arrest of illegal fishing activities using

project-funded modern surveillance and communication equipment installed at the command and control

center at the Fisheries Port in Bissau and other areas along the coast. Increased local value has been

promoted by supporting the national Applied Fisheries Research Center (Centro de Investigação Pesqueira

Aplicada, CIPA) with laboratory equipment, materials and technical capacity for quality control and

inspection of fish and fishery products intended for export.

The following describes the main results and progresses under each component, and the actions that are

still to be completed. A summary of results achieved given below reflects both P119380 and P122182 as

they are fully blended.

Component 1: Good Governance and Sustainable Management of Fisheries

This component aims to build the capacity of the Government and stakeholders to develop and implement

adequate fisheries policies by strengthening the policy and regulatory framework, assessing the economic

and biological status of key fish resources, enhancing transparency and taking initial steps to scale up

fisheries co-management (by communities and the Government). The key achievements are:

The national fisheries strategic plan was revised. The Government officially adopted it in

December 2014.

A review of the country’s policy and legal frameworks for the sector. The reports and proposed

legal instruments are being finalized.

Assessment of key demersal fish stocks as a baseline to adjusting the fishing capacity. The final

report is available.

A review of the regulatory status of co-management mechanisms and the needed political

framework for Territorial Use Rights Fisheries (TURF)

Workshops for the establishment of regional and national dashboards for key environmental,

social and economic fisheries statistics, and hiring of a consultant to establish the dashboards

Remaining/ongoing actions are:

Provision of support for the implementation of the legal reforms

Page 7 of 25

Assessment of key fisheries stocks

Updating of fisheries management plans for the target fisheries

Setting up a statistical data collection and analysis system (dashboard), based on sampling,

recruitment and training of personnel

Production of fisheries statistics

Finalization of national and regional dashboards

Component 2: Reduction of Illegal Fishing

The objective of this component is to reduce the widespread illegal fishing activities that threaten the

sustainability of marine fish resources and the wealth they generate by improving national MCS capacities

and regional MCS collaboration. The key achievements are:

Enhancement of the human and technical capacity of the national surveillance agency’s (National

Commission for Fisheries Surveillance (Servico Nacional de Fiscalizacao e Controlo das

Actividades de Pesca, FISCAP) to monitor, control and carry out surveillance operations

(ongoing).

Rehabilitation of the Bissau Fisheries Monitoring Center

Acquisition of equipment and materials for the Bissau Fisheries Monitoring Center

Surveillance operations, resulting in inspections, confiscation of fish products, arrests and paid

penalties to the Treasury.

Remaining actions are:

Investments in the repair and operationalization of existing patrol boats

Acquisition of additional equipment and materials for the Bissau Fisheries Monitoring Center

Rehabilitation of coastal monitoring stations (new activity)

Preparation of a strategic plan for sustainable MCS operations and adequate maintenance and

servicing of surveillance equipment.

Component 3: Increasing the Contribution of the Marine Fish Resources to the Local Economies

The objective of this component is to increase the country’s benefits from its marine fish resources by

establishing a public inspection and quality control entity, and by training local fishers to improve product

handling, processing/marketing transport and sanitary measures, maintenance of landing site equipment

and knowledge concerning access to local micro-finance. The key achievements are:

Provision of laboratory equipment, materials and training to CIPA for quality control and

inspection of fish and fishery products intended for export

Remaining actions are:

Establishment of a public inspection and quality control entity

Preparation and approval of a plan for the operation and maintenance of laboratory equipment and

skills

Training of local fishers, fish traders and processors

Component 4: Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation and Program Management

This component supports the coordination of the project by a Policy and Planning Office (PPO) embedded

Page 8 of 25

within the Implementing Agency and staffed by hired specialists. The component also finances

regional/program level coordination/technical support and M&E activities by the Sub-regional Fisheries

Commission (Commission Sous-Régional des Pêches, ‎CSRP). The PPO is staffed as planned and submits

progress reports, financial reports and audits in a timely manner and with overall good quality with the

support of the CSRP. Financial Management (FM) and procurement are rated MS due to previously

reported issues of segregation of FM duties, deficiencies in record keeping, publishing of awarded

contracts and bidding procedures. Safeguard compliance is rated MS because of delays in the carrying out

of a social impact assessment – see above implementation delays explanation in addition to delays in the

hiring of the consultant (procurement procedural delays and consultants’ health issues). The restructuring

includes a new deadline for this activity (June 27, 2016 – see below).

The disbursement rates are 51.27% of the IDA grant and 49.26% of the GEF grant as of February 29,

2016. They reflect implementation and procurement delays and are expected to pick up and reach full

disbursement by the revised closing date. A work plan and budget for the proposed extended

implementation period and the remaining funding have been developed by the Government with support

from the Bank task team.

N/A

Change in Results Framework

Explanation:

Discussions with the Government during the MTR mission resulted in the observation that two of the three

PDO-Level Indicators were in fact relevant to the overall goal of the program rather than to the PDO of

this project, which is considered only a first step in a multi-phased program. In addition, the refocusing and

removal of several activities needed to be reflected in revised indicators, and some baseline and reference

data quoted during project approval needed to be corrected. Therefore, indicators should be revised at both

the PDO level and at the Intermediate Results level as follows:

PDO-Level Indicators: Replacement of PDO Indicator 1 on fisheries health and PDO Indicator 2 on

increased economic benefits with a governance indicator, a surveillance indicator (formerly an

Intermediate Results Indicator with a more limited definition of surveillance measures) and a local value

indicator, and maintenance of the Core Indicator on number of beneficiaries, of which female. The two

original PDO Indicators were based on the existence of a management system that is capable of controlling

Page 9 of 25

and managing access to the country’s marine resources, which was not the case when the project was

approved. By making these changes, the new PDO Indicators is better aligned with project PDO.

Intermediate Results Indicators: Revision of three indicators for better alignment with the revised project

activities, transfer of one indicator to the PDO level as indicated above, and addition of three new

indicators that measure project management performance and assess fisheries performance evaluation by

the government. Four of the original indicators and their targets are maintained

For detailed information on proposed modifications to the Results Framework, see Annex 1.

Change in Legal Covenants

Explanation:

It is proposed to mark for deletion the disbursement condition specified in the IDA financing agreement,

schedule 2, Section IV, paragraph B.1(b): “No disbursements will be made for the purchase of fisheries

patrol vessels, until and unless the Association shall have been satisfied, based on an exchange of views

with the Recipient, with the cost-efficiency, technical specifications and fiscal sustainability of the

proposed expenditures.” This change will reflect the dropping of the activity on the purchase of fisheries

patrol vessel as explained below.

It is also proposed to defer activity (i) of the covenant in Schedule 2, Section I, Paragraph E.4 of the IDA

financing agreement and Schedule, Section I, Paragraph D.4 of the GEF financing agreement: “not later

than September 30, 2012, undertake a social assessment of the impact of the Project on the management of

its fisheries resources upon terms of reference satisfactory to the Association” to June 27, 2016. This

postponement will make up for delays in carrying out this activity, as explained above. The revised

covenant will read as follows: “The Recipient shall not later than June 27, 2016, undertake a social

assessment of the impact of the Project on the management of its fisheries resources upon terms of

reference satisfactory to the Association, and implement measures satisfactory to mitigate adverse social

impacts”.

Change in Loan Closing Date(s)

Explanation:

It is proposed to extend the Closing Date of the IDA and GEF grants by 12 months from June 30, 2016 to

June 30, 2017. This will be the first extension of the grants.

The extension is expected to make up for the delays experienced during the first 2 years of the project,

which were mainly the result of the suspension of all Bank operations in Guinea Bissau because of the

military takeover in 2012, and the temporary absence of a project coordinator in 2013. The extension is

expected to allow the achievement of the PDO by providing the government with sufficient time to

consolidate the actions taken so far on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and on legal and

institutional reforms.

The team confirms that the requirements of BP 10.00, para 47 (Extension of Closing Date) have been met:

specifically, (i) the PDO remains achievable as measured by the revised PDO Level Indicators; (ii) the

performance of the Recipient country remains satisfactory (Government Commitment is rated Satisfactory;

and the PDO and IP are rated Moderately Satisfactory); and (iii) the Bank and the Recipient have agreed

on actions that will be undertaken to complete the Project: a work plan was agreed on for the extended

project duration, which focuses on the key activities that need to be implemented in order to achieve the

end of project targets based on the proposed revised Results Framework.

Reallocations

Page 13 of 25

Explanation:

It is proposed to reallocate IDA grant proceeds between categories. The reallocation reflects the

distribution of the entire Lease Payments Category 2 allocation (SDR 1,450,000) and 33 percent of the

original allocation to the purchasing of a coastal surveillance civilian patrol vessel (SDR 190,000) under

Category 1 – between all the other allocations in a manner that supports the implementation of the work

plan for the extended project duration.

As a result:

The IDA allocation to Parts 1 and 4.1 of the project (good governance and sustainable fisheries

management; and national project implementation, respectively) will increase by 65 percent.

The IDA allocation to Parts 2.1 (except for the revised Part 2.1 (c)(ii)), 2.2 and 3 (MCS system,

sustainability of the operating costs of the MCS system and increasing the contribution of marine

fish resources to the local economies, respectively) will increase by 117 percent.

The IDA allocation to Parts 2.3 and 4.2 (regional MCS collaboration for and regional

coordination, respectively) will increase by 9 percent.

The IDA allocation to the revised Part 2.1(c)(ii) (hiring of a coastal surveillance civilian patrol

vessel and its crew) will be reduced by 33 percent.

The original allocation to the Lease Payment category is cancelled to reflect Government’s decision not to

lease a patrol vessel, which is costly and requires technical capacity which FISCAP currently does not

possess. The allocation of the revised Part 2.1(c)(ii) (vessel and crew hiring – originally vessel purchasing)

is smaller as it costs less to hire the vessel for the remaining project period than to purchase it.

for coastal shrimp, cephalopods and demersal fish species. The relevant Intermediate Results

Indicator will be modified accordingly (See Annex 1 for the revised Results Framework)

2. Schedule 1, Part 2: Reduction of Illegal Fishing: Correct the numbering of activities to ensure

consistency with the sequencing of activities as described in the PAD and with references in the

financing agreement itself; change the leasing during the first two years of Project implementation

of a larger surveillance vessel to the hiring of a surveillance vessel and crew; and remove the

purchase of a coastal surveillance civilian patrol vessel. The two latter changes are required due to

the unavailability of sufficient project funding for lease and purchase of vessels (hiring is cheaper),

and the lack of technical capacity within FISCAP (the Recipient’s autonomous civilian agency

responsible for surveillance of fisheries) to operate a vessel. The proposed reallocation of proceeds

(as per the above) reflects these changes, as is the reference in the revised disbursement table

below.

3. Schedule 1, Part 3.1 (i): Updating of the Capabilities of Fish Inspection and Quality Control

Department: Remove “sanitary” from the definition of the authority and the EU certification

requirements due to the fact that accreditation for certification of fisheries products exports to the

EU is a process which neither the project nor the Government has control of. This change is also

reflected in the revised Intermediate Results Indicator (see Annex 1 for the revised Results

Framework)

4. Schedule 2, Section IV: Withdrawal of Proceeds of the Financing: correct the reference to

activities to align with the revised numbering of activities and removal of vessel purchasing:

change 2.1.1 (c)(iii) to 2.1 (c)(ii). Proposed revisions also reflect the reallocation of proceeds and

the removal of disbursement category 2.

5. Appendix, Section 1.24: Definitions: Remove the definition for “Lease payments” as this category

will be removed.
