No Components Table Name Improving Flood Risk Management:(Cost $100.00 M) Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Competitiveness:(Cost $76.50 M) Augmenting Connectivity:(Cost $173.00 M) Contingent Emergency Response Implementation Support:(Cost $27.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Component 1: Improving flood risk management The objective of this component is to increase the capacity of the Water Resources Department (WRD) to manage flood risk and to decrease vulnerability to floods in the Kosi River Basin. Overall progress of the Component 1 is downgraded to Moderately Satisfactory, mainly due to slow progress on the structural works such as the delayed works under the Package 1C and the delayed tender process under the Package 3 and 4. The mission observed that outstanding hindrance issues such as spur encroachments and land disputes under the Package 1C needed to be immediately resolved with support from the GoB. 7/12/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bihar Kosi Basin Development Project (P127725) Component 2: Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Competitiveness The objective of this component is to increase agricultural production and productivity by expanding access to and adoption of innovative and climate-resilient farm technologies and practices and extending their linkages to market infrastructure. Overall progress of the Component 2 remains Moderately Satisfactory due to little progress made under the sub-component by the Department of Agriculture (DoA). Component 3: Augmenting Connectivity The objective is to improve farmers’ access to markets through the expansion of the local road network that connects rural roads to the main road network that improves connectivity of habitations to the market centers. Overall progress of the Component 3 is considered Satisfactory, subject to further assessment at the next mission, especially on contract management.
