The institutional audit has been completed. Consultations for the mining code review are ongoing, which Page 1 of 8

2 have recorded great success to date. The work on the establishment of the geological database has began. The SESA study is advancing; so far the focus has been the social aspects of mining. Equipment to artisanal miners and cooperatives is being delivered in Katanga. More such equipment is being delivered to SAESSCAM antennas in Maniema and South Kivu provinces. As regards traceability, provision of technical assistance to ITRI/iTSci has begun that will soon materialize through the signing of a Protocole d'accord with the Government. Work on the establishment of a Women in mining network in DRC has also begun which has gathered great enthusiasm to date from a large number of potential women participants. Follow-up on existing, completed or nearly completed operational activities (Mining Code, Institutional Audit, SESA, MRAC study, RENAFEM, KEIDI, Accountability Platform, Artisanal Mining related activities) and decide on next steps will be undertaken during the next January supervision mission. The mid-term review of the project will take place in March Locations Country First Administrative Division Location Planned Actual Congo, Dem Rep Province du Sud-Kivu Province du Sud-Kivu Congo, Dem Rep Province du Katanga Province du Katanga Congo, Dem Rep Province du Nord-Kivu Province du Nord-Kivu Congo, Dem Rep Province du Kasai-Oriental Province du Kasai-Oriental Congo, Dem Rep Province du Kasai-Occidental Province du Kasai-Occidental Congo, Dem Rep Province Orientale Province Orientale Results Project Development Objective Indicators Indicator Name Core Unit of Measure Baseline Current End Target Performance of key institutions Text Value The existing framework is poorly enforced Status of transparency and accountability mechanisms 30-Apr-2010 Text Value Very little availability of data. debate largely dependent on NGO reports or poor quality media reporting.

3 dialog equity principles and transparency. decision over its future beyond the project agreed Private investment in the mining sector Percentage Value investments > 10 MUSD in Target for 2013 is 10% 25% increase over baseline Copperbelt increase - achieved Fiscal revenues from the mining sector Number Value Apr MUSD 25-Oct-2013 Achieved. Target for 2012/13 of 200 m. surpassed. Working and living conditions of artisanal and industrial mining communities in project areas Intermediate Results Indicators Text Value Very limited availability of data. Reports on specific sites suggest that:20% of diggers in Kolwezi (Katanga) are children, 40% of people involved in ASM (including support actvities) are women, On average, copper & cobalt diggers in Katanga earn $100-$120 per month. Detailed indicators, baseline, milestones and target will be established as part of project monitoring system10 (including household consumption in targeted mining communities) Network for women in mining in implementation. A strategy for dealing with children in mining has been delayed. Detailed indicators, baseline, milestones and target will be established as part of project monitoring system10 (including household consumption in targeted mining communities) 30-Apr-2010 Security in project areas is maintained Page 3 of 8
