I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING

Project Status. The Lebanon Health Resilience Project (the Project) was approved by the World Bank Board of Executive Directors on June 26, 2017 and became effective after a significant delay on November 14, 2018, with a closing date of June 30, 2023. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to increase access to quality healthcare services to poor Lebanese and displaced Syrians in Lebanon.

It was financed by a US$120 million loan, consisting of a non-concessional portion of US$95.8 million financed by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and a concessional portion of US$24.2 million from the Global Concessional Financing Facility (GCFF). The Project followed condensed emergency procedures as outlined in paragraph 12 of OP 10.00 (Projects in Situations of Urgent Need of Assistance or Capacity Constraints) so that the Government of Lebanon (GOL) could continue to provide critical health services to the target population in the context of the Syrian crisis. The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) has received US$3.24 million under the Project, consisting of US$2.64 million under the IBRD loan and US$0.6 million GCFF financing, which was approved in May 2019, but has not been disbursed. There are no outstanding audits under the Project.

In the January 8, 2020 Implementation Status Report (ISR), given substantial delays in various areas of project implementation, and failure to meet with legal covenants laid out in the Loan Agreement (i.e., an acceptable finalized Project Operations Manual; the bidding and contracting process for the Third-Party Administrator was not been initiated), the PDO, Implementation Progress, Components, Financial Management (FM), Procurement and Monitoring and Evaluation were rated as Moderately Unsatisfactory (MU).

On January 23, 2020, the Bank issued a notice of threat of suspension to the GOL and requested that the GOL send the Bank satisfactory evidence that the GOL has made satisfactory progress on meeting the Project’s legal covenants by no later than February 24, 2020, in order to lift the threat of suspension. On February 27, 2020, the GOL provided its response to the notice of threat of suspension and in light of the satisfactory meeting of the conditions specified by the Bank, the threat of suspension was lifted on March 10, 2020.

Country Context. An outbreak of COVID-19 caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been spreading rapidly globally since December 2019, from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China to 115 countries and territories. As of March 10, 2020, the outbreak has resulted in over 114,000 cases and over 4,250 deaths world-wide. The outbreak is taking place at a time when global economic activity is facing uncertainty and governments have limited policy space to act.

Like its neighbors, Lebanon is also affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, which poses a threat to its heath system and beyond. The first case of COVID-19 was reported in Lebanon on February 21, 2020. As of March 10, 2020, there have been 61 confirmed cases and 2 deaths. Although a majority of confirmed cases have resulted from international travel, local transmission is highly likely to be taking place, given the disease dynamics and the current testing and containment strategies, which only focus on people with a travel history. The outbreak is expected to grow exponentially, affecting not just the health system but also the economy and security. In response, the GOL has prepared a COVID-19 Health Sector Response Plan and is developing a National Multi-Sectoral Plan. Progress has been made in risk communication to the population, port of entry screening, setting up one testing center and one treatment center. However, the unmet needs are immense. With only one hospital (the Rafik Hariri University Hospital) prepared to treat cases, Lebanon is under-equipped to respond to such a public health emergency.

The outbreak is coming at a time when Lebanon’s economy is already going through the worst economic crisis in recent history and the GOL has limited resources to respond. The outbreak further clouds an already strained health sector and will further set back

Lebanon’s efforts in its fight against poverty. There are concerns that the outbreak will particularly hit the poor and the refugee population. Lebanon hosts a large number of refugees. Overcrowding and poor living conditions in camps and settlements could further exacerbate the problem and make these camps a breeding ground for the disease.

Rationale for restructuring. The purpose of the proposed restructuring is to support the GOL to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The restructuring responds to a request from the GOL dated March 4, 2020 to add a component to the Project on COVID-19 preparedness and response that will allow for immediate support to assess country preparedness, multi-sectoral response capabilities, and to finance the procurement of medical goods and equipment, and capacity-building and training of health workers and front-line responders.

II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

Summary of proposed changes:

(a) The PDO will be revised as “ to increase access to quality healthcare services to poor Lebanese and displaced Syrians in Lebanon and to strengthen the Government’s capacity to respond to COVID-19”;

(b) A new component will be added “Component 4: Strengthen capacity to respond to COVID-19”;(c) Project funds will be reallocated from Components 1, 2 and 3 to Component 4; and, (d) The Results Framework (RF) will be amended to include new indicators for Component 4 and to adjust the targets for

the other three components.

While there will be no changes to activities to be delivered under Components 1, 2, and 3, the total cost of each component will be reduced due to the change in the period of coverage from 5 years to 3 years due to delays in project implementation. Changes in Components 1,2, and 3 will be as follows:

Component 4: Strengthen the capacity to respond to COVID-19. This component will finance the following activities:

i. Case detection and surveillance. This will include support for: a. procuring essential commodities for case detection and surveillance such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

machines, sample collection kits, test kits, and other equipment and supplies for COVID-19 testing and surveillance;

b. capacity building in testing and surveillance; and

The World BankLebanon Health Resilience Project (P163476)

c. strengthening IT system for surveillance. ii. Case management and protection of health workers and response personnel. This will support the strengthening of

selected health facilities and establishment and equipping of quarantine and treatment centers, so that they can manage COVID-19 cases, including: a. procuring beds, furniture, ventilators, pulse oximeters, laryngoscopes, oxygen generators, other equipment and

supplies for COVID-19 case management;b. Capacity building and training;c. procuring Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), disinfectants and other commodities for infection prevention and

control (IPC) as well as healthcare waste management;d. contracting supplementary health workers for COVID-19 treatment centers;e. paying for fees related to COVID-19 services according to a fee schedule and eligible criteria to be developed and

agreed with the World Bank; and,f. capacity building in COVID-19 case management and in IPC.

iii. Multisectoral response. This will finance goods, services, training and operational costs to support multisectoral activities such as: (i) the operations of command rooms at the central and regional levels, (ii) implementation of risk commutations and community engagement campaigns, (iii) implementation of containment strategies, including port-of-entry interventions, and (iv) operation of rapid response teams.

Procurement Arrangements. Procurement for Component 4 will be carried out in accordance with the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers for Goods, Works, Non-Consulting and Consulting Services, dated July 1, 2016 (revised in November 2017 and August 2018). The Project will be subject to the World Bank’s Anticorruption Guidelines, dated October 15, 2006, revised in January 2011, and as of July 1, 2016. The Project will use the Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) to plan, record and track procurement transactions.

Planned procurement under Component 4 includes procurement of goods, equipment, hospital furniture, consumables, trainings and consultancies required to combat COVID-19, as well as public hospital fees incurred in the detection and treatment of COVID-19 cases. The Borrower has prepared a project procurement strategy for development (PPSD) for the Project, and PPSD relating to Component 4 will be deferred until project implementation. An initial positive list of items to be procured under Component 4 (see Annex 1) has been agreed with the Borrower and will be updated during implementation, to be procured through methods acceptable to the Bank.

Procurement will be carried out by the MOPH. The proposed procurement approach prioritizes fast track emergency procurement for required emergency goods and services. Key measures to fast track procurement under Component 4 include procurement from UN Agencies.

UN Agencies. Considering the limitations in the supply chain of required medical goods, the global involvement of relevant UN Agencies (i.e. WHO, UNICEF and UNOPS) in the procurement and distribution of these goods, and fit for purpose procurement, the procurement plan will be limited to procurement of relevant UN Agencies that are active in Lebanon. Agreements will be reached between the Borrower and UN Agencies, using the Bank’s standard agreement template for UN Agencies/organizations to procure the required goods following their own procurement arrangements, including the possibility of framework agreements and the gradual supply of goods in lots.

Hands-on Expanded Implementation Support (HEIS); The Bank may, at the request of the Borrower, provide HEIS to help expedite the procurement arrangements. HEIS may assist the GOL with the selection and award of the agreement with the UN agency, including:

i. Assist the implementing agency in initiating the selection process of UN Agencies; ii. Identify strengths and weaknesses of UN Agencies proposals;

Page 7: World Bank Documentdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...the GOL has prepared a COVID-19 Health Sector Response Plan and is developing a National Multi-Sectoral Plan. Progress has

The World BankLebanon Health Resilience Project (P163476)

iii. Advise on areas to clarify or negotiate with UN Agencies;iv. Attend negotiations (virtually) as observers, including clarifying Procurement Regulations matters for the Borrower’s;

and v. Finalize the agreements with UN Agencies.

Procurement risks and mitigation measures:

Procurement Risks Mitigation MeasuresOutdated Country Procurement Regulations, and high perception of fraud and corruption in Lebanon as it ranks 137 out of 180 countries.

Follow Bank Procurement Regulations and hiring the UN Agencies to carry procurement of the required supplies and services on the basis of an agreed positive list and including storage and distribution to the final destinations. In addition, a technical audit will be conducted to verify the contracting approach, the appropriateness of prices relative to market prices, the adherence to acceptable and agreed procurement procedures the appropriate use of funds for the intended purposes.

Lack of experience of the new PMU at the implementing agency with World Bank Procurement Policy and Procedures, through all stages of the procurement cycle.

Hire experienced procurement staff for the Project, as well as training and close hand holding. The Bank may also, at the request of the Borrower, provide HEIS to help expedite the procurement arrangements.

Delay in supply especially because of interruptions in supply chain due to spread of COVID-19 virus throughout the world, governments’ export restrictions and scarcity of the goods in question due to high demand across the globe.

This risk would be mitigated through advance payment to the UN Agencies to allow them to make the goods available in their regional stores such as Dubai and Djibouti prior to onward shipment to Lebanon as well as agreeing up front on their sourcing strategy. In addition, the UN agency(ies) will use Independent Inspection agents to certify that goods comply with the technical specifications at the factory and/or at the port of shipment will be considered.

Delays due to the UN agency(ies) internal processes and approvals.

Advanced planning and delegation of authority at the right levels as well as commitment by UN agency(ies) to comply with agreed timelines.

Government’s capacity to monitor and control receipt, storage and distribution of the procured goods.

Agreement with the best placed UN agency to be responsible for delivery of the supplies to the country’s storage facilities. Smart fiduciary tools, such as Internet of Things (IoT), and block chain that can track goods to their final destination, will be explored.

Financial Management. Component 4 will be implemented by contracting UN agency(ies) through a standard agreement with the MOPH. The terms of the agreement with the UN agency(ies) contracted will spell out the authorization, approvals and procedures as well as the governing relationships between the MOPH and the respective UN agency(ies). The agreement will include the prior approval of the MOPH on payment of COVID-19 cases tested, admitted and hospitalized.

The World BankLebanon Health Resilience Project (P163476)

FM risks have been identified as below:

i. Delays of funds to be transferred from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) treasury account to the Project designated account;

ii. Delays from the MOPH in the delivery of key project activities including: (i) the finalization of the Third Party Monitoring (TPA) Terms of Reference (TORs) for the hospital component; (ii) the recruitment/assignment of key staff members within the PMU; (iii) finalization of the POM; (iv) the recruitment of an independent controller for prior review on project expenditures (other than the hospital related component);

iii. Limited effectiveness of FM arrangements adopted by UN agency(ies); iv. Potential misuse of goods (diversion of intended acquisition purpose including inefficiency in inventory storage

management and distribution) due to weak Government institutions and limited accountability.

To mitigate these FM risks, Component 4 will be implemented in its entirety by UN agency(ies) who will be contracted by the MOPH and will carry out fiduciary arrangements including the procurement of goods/equipment and the provisions of services. The UN agency(ies) will submit request for funds withdrawal to the Bank. The request, to be cleared by the MOPH will be IFR-based and will include a forecast of cash needs by the UN agency(ies) for the next period. The Bank will transfer the amounts requested from the UN commitment Fund (dedicated fund for UN component implementation) through direct payments, into the UN agency(ies) bank account/s. Additional enhanced fiduciary arrangements will be introduced into the standard agreement with the UN agency(ies) to include:

i. Quarterly financial reporting arrangements for submission to the Bank by the contracted UN agency(ies); ii. Hire an independent external auditor by the UN agency(ies) to carry out yearly “agreed upon procedures “on the project

sources and use of funds. The related terms of reference will need to be agreed and cleared by the Bank; and,iii. Semi-annual technical audits will be required to provide an independent verification on goods procured (types, quantities,

etc.), stock balances by storage locations, and distribution to the final beneficiaries. The main purpose of the technical audit is to ensure that the goods are being used for the intended purpose and are actually reaching the final intended beneficiary. The TOR will be agreed with and cleared by the Bank.

The reallocation by category will be as follows:

The Borrower will be able to finance acquisition of eligible goods and services for the COVID-19 response under Component 4 under Disbursement Category 1 of the Project. Goods and services acquired for COVID-19 response under Component 4, after the effective date of the Project, will be eligible for financing, including goods and equipment acquired before the restructuring of the Project is made effective by the Parliament's action.

Additional FM arrangements - Component 4. The MOPH/UN agency(ies) agreement will include a description of the services to be provided. This list will include goods to be purchased and services to be provided, the payments mechanism, the reporting schedule, oversight procedures, quarterly financial reports and a special purpose audit.

Through the financial management framework with UN Agencies, the Bank will make the funds available directly to the UN Agencies based on the standard agreement that will be signed between the Government and the UN Agencies. The process of funds transfers will be as follows:

• Implementing Agency (IA) prepares the standard agreement to be signed with UN agency(ies).• Bank clears the agreement and financial provisions.• IA signs agreement with UN agency(ies).• IA prepares a blanket withdrawal application and submit to the Bank with a copy of the agreement.• Bank opens a UN commitment fund (in the amount of agreement).• UN agency(ies) submit payment request to the Bank based on the financial provisions of the agreement (IFR-based and will

include a forecast of cash needs by the UN agency(ies) for the next period). The request will need to be also cleared/signed by the MOPH. The Bank transfers the funds directly to the UN agency(ies) bank account.

• UN agency(ies) uses funds then submits a utilization report (financial reports) to the IA.• IA Submits a withdrawal application along with utilization report to document funds used by the UN agency(ies).

Safeguards. An Environmental and Social Framework (ESMF) was prepared, consulted on and disclosed in 2019. The ESMF identifies the environmental and social risks and impacts associated with the Project and recommends mitigation measures. The key environmental and social risks under Component 4 are largely covered in the ESMF. As per the ESMF, installation of new equipment as needed and scaling up of facilities are acceptable. However, given that COVID-19 is a new disease, additional mitigation measures will need to be included in the ESMF related to health and safety measures related to waste management, fire life safety, wastewater management, occupational health and safety aspects related to exposure to infection and diseases, and emergency preparedness and response plan and exposure control plan and infection control policies and procedures in line with World Health Organization guidelines and WBG Environmental, Health and Safety guidelines. The Grievance Redress Mechanism will also be strengthened to include a designated line for COVID-19 intake and processing. In addition, Component 4 will be implemented by UN Agency(ies) who will follow World Bank Safeguards Policies. The ESMF will be updated, consulted upon and disclosed to reflect these additional mitigation measures and institutional arrangements for the new component. Given the urgent nature of this restructuring, this update will be prepared as soon as possible and before any activities are started.
