Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Modernization:(Cost $11.71 M) Component 2: Water Resources Protection and Management:(Cost $10.93 M) Component 3: Project Management, Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $1.90 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Water security and canal protection project continues to be much delayed with slow disbursement and no physical progress. If no meaningful progress is made in the coming months we need to discuss restructuring/downsizing of the project. On the upside, we noted that: 1. Consultant hired for Detailed design and supervision shall soon deliver the ToR for canal rehabilitation and thus procurement of works (and later on works itself) are also expected to commence in coming months. 2. Procurement of SCADA (canal operation automation system) has been concluded and is progressing as per plan. 3. Long outstanding legal covenant, on a time-bound action plan for decision making on operation and Maintenance responsibilities for the Mihaliq reservoir has been met. 10/21/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Kosovo Water Security and Canal Protection Project (P133829) 4. Community consultations and awareness raising have continued, including in the North. General sensitivity on status of Gazivoda remains, but operation of the infrastructure continues in good order. Detailed action planning and contract management is still a problem and there are already delays incurred under the technical assistance contract. There is need for continual and close follow up on contractually agreed deadlines to ensure that works can commence in early spring.
