Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component A: Capacity building of and support to the federal institutions in water resources planning and management.:(Cost $19.22 M) Component B: Improvement in water resources management and development:(Cost $39.08 M) Component C: Project management and additional studies:(Cost $14.65 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 Over the last six months implementation of Component A has been very slow. A revised approach to procurement of key activities has been adopted but without adequate staff at the PMPIU, implementation is well behind the planned schedule. The PMPIU remains understaffed. In addition to the lack of a full-time project director, the PMPIU is missing key technical staff including a procurement specialist. This continues to hamper implementation progress. Nonetheless, multiple positions have been advertised and applications are being processed. 3/12/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Water Sector Capacity Building & Advisory Services Project (WCAP) (P110099) Procurement for key activities under Component B has progressed reasonably with two key WADA-led activities advancing to signed contracts. These are a major flow forecasting study and supply and installation of new automatic weather stations and other hydromet stations. The project PC-II is being revised by the client to address new high priority areas and will be submitted to the Planning Commission through MoWR in the near future. The Project Steering Committee met in early February 2019, after a long hiatus. Key decisions included the approval of the inclusion of key new activities in the project plan, including the establishment of "policy implementation cells" within the Ministry of Water Resources to support to the implementation of the National Water Policy, and to support implementation of the National Flood Protection Plan IV. A Mid-Term Review of the project is planned for June 2019. If this review does not find significant improvement in implementation progress and disbursement of project funds, partial or even full cancellation of the credit will need to be considered, to enable these funds to be more usefully deployed within Pakistan.
