The work of correcting these data is in progress and can only be finalized with the computerization of the Project’s Monitoring and Evaluation System. This explains why some values provided in the PIU’s previous report are very high compared to those of the current PIU’s report. The values obtained for this indicator are therefore provisional. As for the significant increase of the indicator "Number of agricultural researchers and agricultural technicians trained", it comes from the 20 technicians who were trained by IRRI during the last quarter of the CF2019 as additionnal to the number of researchers trained. 1/31/2020 Page 6 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Great Lakes Regional Integrated Agriculture Development Project (P161781) Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed % Disbursed P161781 IDA-D1810 Effective USD 75.00 75.00 0.00 19.30 57.71 25% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
