Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1. Irrigation System Enhancement:(Cost $35.10 M) Component 2.

Implementation of modernization works of the secondary and tertiary networks at the Baghramyan-Norkert irrigation schemes are near completion. With this, the ISEP is at risk to only partially achieve its envisaged development objective –especially with regard to energy savings. As a matter of urgency, Water Sector Project Implementation Unit has been advised to immediately set in motion an action plan, by which all works can be completed within before the end of 2019. Based on the assessed likelihood of success, Bank management will take a decision concerning a request from government concerning the extension of the project completion by six months. 6/23/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report IRRIGATION SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT PROJECT (P127759) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic -- Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies -- Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program -- Low Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability -- Moderate Moderate Fiduciary -- Moderate Moderate Environment and Social -- Moderate Moderate Stakeholders -- Substantial Substantial Other -- -- -- Overall -- Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Reduce the amount of energy used and improve the irrigation conveyance efficiency IN00708522 ►Amount of energy saved annually in operating the irrigation system (Gigawatt-hour (GWh), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 21.79 14.10 36.80 Date 30-Nov-2012 21-Dec-2018 20-Jun-2019 30-Jun-2019 Previously reported energy savings of 21.79 GWh were mistaken as they included potential savings.

As of November 28, 2016, the rehabilitation of all diversion canals under the program have been completed and are now reducing the target losses of 24 million cubic meters per year (23.58 million Comments: cubic meters per year; equivalent to the 0.71 liters/s/per 100 meters original target). By December 2018, WSPIU revised the actual water savings to 24 million cubic meters per year, reflecting the increased length of canals rehabilitated.
