This process brief examines the cascade model used to deliver the PSSP through Tanzania’s government systems. The model has enabled rapid expansion and broad reach, but the evaluation finds that training and materials exposure weakens beyond directly trained actors and that important operational knowledge gaps remain. The brief identifies practical ways to strengthen the cascade while preserving its scalability, including more targeted support, role-specific and user-friendly materials, structured reinforcement and follow-up, and stronger feedback and supervision mechanisms.

Samoa is assessed at moderate risk of external and overall debt distress, unchanged from the moderate risk rating in the December 2024 DSA. This continued moderate risk assessment reflects Samoa’s strong debt-carrying capacity and significantly improved debt dynamics, underpinned by large fiscal surpluses and a further buildup of government deposits in recent years. Consistent with earlier DSAs, the projection horizon has been extended to 20 years to incorporate the average long-term effects of climate change and natural disasters on the economy, given Samoa’s high climate vulnerability. Under the baseline scenario, all external and public debt indicators remain below their respective thresholds throughout the projection period, even with an anticipated normalization of the fiscal position as grants decline and capital spending recovers, which will generate renewed financing needs financed first by drawing down part of the accumulated deposits and then through future highly concessional external borrowing. However, the gap between the PV of external PPG debt and its threshold narrows toward the end of the horizon, implying limited space to absorb adverse shocks. Moreover, standard stress tests show vulnerabilities with the PV of external PPG debt to exports, and external PPG debt service to exports breaching their respective benchmarks. In addition, a severe growth shock, reflecting Samoa’s historical growth vulnerability, results in a breach of the PV of public debt threshold. However, the tailored natural disaster shock—calibrated to Samoa’s historical median—does not result in breaches of either the PV of external PPG debt-to-GDP threshold or the PV of public debt benchmark. The results highlight the importance of ongoing reforms to prioritize high-quality climate-resilient public investment, enhance public financial management, raise domestic revenues, and support sustainable, inclusive growth. Such measures will be vital to rebuild and preserve fiscal and external buffers over time, further reduce risks to debt sustainability, and potentially create the conditions for Samoa to eventually reach a low risk of debt distress.

The development objective of the Chattogram Water Supply Improvement Project for Bangladesh is to increase access to safely managed water supply in Chattogram and improve operational performance and financial sustainability of the Chattogram Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (CWASA). The additional financing responds to a financing gap created when resources were reallocated under a Rapid Response Option to meet urgent national fuel needs, and its objective is to restore resources so procurement and implementation can proceed without altering the project’s scope, development objectives, or implementation arrangements while adding an intermediate results indicator on More and Better Jobs (MBJ). The Bank will focus the additional financing on Component 1 to enable network rehabilitation and expansion, formation of 46 Smart District Metered Areas (DMAs), installation and rehabilitation of about 50,000 metered household connections, and the major works contract known as Package W1, which together are expected to reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW), improve pressure and service reliability, and extend safely managed water supply to an estimated 1.04 million people. Complementary activities continue under existing financing: Component 2 supports piped water and non-networked sanitation for low-income communities through climate-informed designs, community engagement, affordability measures, and gender-responsive service models; Component 3 strengthens utility systems through a Water Supply Master Plan, digital transformation and asset management, customer relationship management, and tariff reform, including adoption of a revised tariff framework to sustain operations and maintenance cost recovery; Component 4 maintains a fully staffed and functioning Project Management Unit for fiduciary, environmental and social management, monitoring, and governance; and Component 5 retains a Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) for eligible emergencies. The project intends to deliver measurable results aligned with performance-based conditions, including beneficiaries provided with safely managed water services, operational smart DMAs with reduced NRW, and sustained operations and maintenance cost recovery of at least one hundred twenty percent, while advancing digital asset management, integrated financial data systems, and a climate-resilience plan for service delivery. The restructuring introduces MBJ tracking to reflect labor-income gains from improved water and sanitation services and anticipates direct, indirect, and induced employment from construction and operations, alongside gender outcomes such as time savings for women and targeted employment opportunities in low-income communities. By restoring the project’s financial integrity and protecting preparation and early implementation investments, the additional financing ensures continuity of critical urban water service improvements, supports institutional reforms, and contributes to the broader Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) objectives of stronger urban water security, utility performance, and resilience.
