Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Following a request from the implementing agency to extend the closing date and revise the project development objective, the project restructuring was successfully completed in February The project is now in its fourth year of implementation and all agreed activities are now operational in the field and implementation progress has been upgraded to satisfactory.. With nine months remaining until project closing, the focus is on ensuring sustainability of the Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and documenting experience and lessons from the field. 10/19/2016 Page 1 of 8

2 The CBOs have helped in bringing significant awareness of middlemen fraudulence and promotion of safe migration through grassroots interventions. Through engagement with local elites, migrants, their families and different stakeholders, a number of migration forums have been formed; some of these forum members play a significant role in providing direct services, particularly in arranging local arbitration and helping vulnerable migrants to get their money back from fraudulent middlemen. The project team have also organized roundtable discussions on preventing irregular and illegal migration. To date, CBOs have arranged various information dissemination and awareness raising events, including 12,784 courtyard meetings; 1,200 video shows and 879 interactive popular theatre shows. In addition, migration forums at the community level, which comprise local elite, returnee migrants, migrants families and potential migrants, have organized over 3,000 meetings to discuss the various issues faced by aspiring and current migrants. Almost 700 Information Boards have been installed at the Union, Upazila and District level of project areas to provide information on safe migration, including highlighting basic migration processes, including using Government-approved recruiting agencies; opening two bank accounts prior to departure, and contact information for abused or harassed migrants. Another set of Boards have been installed in project areas prone to high illegal migration, including Chittagong, Cox s Bazaar, Sirajganj and Narsingdi. The messages on this Board include avoiding migration through illegal maritime routes and encouraging legal and safe migration processes. Installation of these Boards has generated additional interest from the community the number of people seeking more information from Migration Associates has increased and SMFCs report receiving phone calls from migrants in the host country facing abuse, whose family members have passed on contact details for help and support. A compilation of case studies documenting stories of beneficiaries that have received various forms of support under the project, including safe migration knowledge, training, and family support will be produced as a publication and will be launched at the International Migrants Day to be held in December A video documentary intended to be shared with policymakers and key stakeholders is also under production and will capture project activities and its impact on beneficiaries. In addition, an impact evaluation of the project is being carried out in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, and BRAC s Research and Evaluation Division. The baseline survey covering 3,000 households was completed in December 2014, with follow-up phone surveys conducted with 2,000 potential migrants in February 2015 and September The endline survey is scheduled to be completed by May 2017 Risks Overall Risk Rating Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Overall Low Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL Knowledge on safe migration process increased among community members including migrants and their family members (Percentage, Custom) Value Date 15-Dec Aug Oct Jun-2017 Reporting on this indicator will only be for baseline and end year values.
