For Component 1, implemented by the Ministry of Primary Industries and Social Empowerment, the backlog in processing matching grant applications has largely been cleared with over 190 approvals, of which 67 are disbursing and 12 are completed. For Component 2, under the Ministry of Agriculture, the critical consultancy contract for the International Service Provider is cleared for signing with mobilization expected in October, 2019. 10/27/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sri Lanka Agriculture Sector Modernization Project (P156019) The MTR assessed that despite the delays in the implementation of the project, the project remains highly relevant to addressing the needs in the agriculture sector and that the design remains valid.
