There has been significant progress in the award of matching grants under the Ministry of Social Welfare and Primary Industries (MoSWPI), with 71 awards. The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has faced delays but now moving forward with twenty farmer pilot schemes under implementation and an Agri-business-Farmer-Partnership (AFP) agreement which has been signed with Hayley's company. Further AFPs have been approved and there is potential for further scale up. The 6th Implementation Support Mission conducted in August-September 2018, agreed with the two implementing ministries on the following implementation priorities until the next support mission scheduled for February 2019: For the Ministry of Social Welfare and Primary Industries: (a) address the persistent issue of grant recipients’ difficulties in securing commercial loans through i) revision of procedural manual to ensure early participation of banks in the project preparation process; ii) removing the requirement 10/3/2018 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sri Lanka Agriculture Sector Modernization Project (P156019) for banks to use the Partial Credit Guarantee (ie to make it optional) and thereby leaving the loan product choice to the bank; iii) increasing awareness of the project to participating banks, including by nominating liaison officers in each bank; and (b) strengthen outreach efforts and support for underserved regions, including the north and east, including by finding technical service providers (TSPs) to support potential proponents by re-advertising the consultancy and further incentivizing existing TSPs to work in these regions. For the Ministry of Agriculture and the Provinces: (a) quickly conclude evaluation of the international and make contract award by November 30, 2018; (b) provide technical and organizational training to existing farmer organizations under pilot programs; (c) scale up the Agri-business-Farmer- Partnership approach by developing clear guidelines for eligibility and promoting with interested firms; and (d) accelerate the infrastructure component by awarding all outstanding contracts by October 31, 2018.
