Has the Global Environmental Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Global Environmental Objective (If project is formally restructured) To expand the area under sustainable land and water management practices in selected watersheds.

The project demonstrated impressive progress on implementation of the core SLWM activities through sub-projects. High demand for project support to sustainable land and water management (SLWM) activities was noted among the new and old beneficiary communities, exceeding available funding, about two-fold. During the field visit in June 2016, good progress on the ground and satisfaction of the beneficiaries with the project support were noted. High demand for sub-projects in new districts and communities continues in SLWM areas and in the Collaborative Resource Management Areas (CREMAs). The positive spillover effects of good SLWM practices to non- beneficiary farmers who are replicating and learning from farmers supported under the project (e.g. bunding, composting) was notable. The results to date and high demand for project activities indicate that the project is capable of effectively absorbing significantly greater financing than currently avaialble from GEF, and should be considered for other financing sources. Planning for core SLWM activities to take place in 2016 has been completed in 46 communities and 2,062 subproject proposals were approved for funding; demand continues exceeding available resources two-fold. Under the spatial development activities, delays persist, with preparation of two pre-feasibility studies for large-scale water storage investments now dropped in favor of a reconnaissance survey. Biodiversity activities implemented by the Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission, including the formation of CREMAs in the Western Wildlife Corridor and improved management of the Gbele Resource Reserve, have advanced, however, civil works in Gbele Reserve require better contract management, coordination, and safeguards compliance. Sustainable forest management activities implemented by the Forestry Services Division of the Forestry Commission in the eight target forest reserves and areas adjacent to them are progressing on schedule, with fire sensitization and prevention activities completed during the dry season, preparation of four Forest Management Plans ongoing (for Bepona, Sissala North, Sissala Central, and Pudo Forest Reserves), and preparations for phase II enrichment planting and green fire break establishment in Ambalara and Kulpawn Tribuataries Forest Reserves are on schedule. Second Additional Financing from the Global Environmental Facility in the amount of US$12,768,832 was approved by the World Bank Board on May 20, 2016.
