Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1 - Reinforce the participation of the IPLC in forest and land management processes related to REDD+:(Cost $1.50 M) Component 2 - Support community-based sustainable forest and land management:(Cost $2.60 M) Component 3 - Increase the capacity to implement the IPLC development activities and consolidate feedback:(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 Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project became effective on June 21, 2016. The National Execution Agency (NEA) has received its initial advance and has been managing the replenishment process in a satisfactory manner. Disbursement is about 40 % after 3 years of implementation, which represents a 12-month delay. There was a slowdown of project implementation in 2018 due to political uncertainty. However, the project is showing good progress, in particular increased support to facilitate the participation of Indigenous Peoples (IP) in the land tenure reform and in the improvement of their capacity to operate the Grievance and Redress Mechanism for the project and, more generally, fin the management of Natural resources. 12/2/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Forest Dependent Communities Support Project (P149049) In 2019, the Steering Committee approved a first list of concept notes for micro-projects. As a result, the NEA has initiated the procurement process to identify the operators to implement them. However, a review of the proposals has shown that the micro-project formulation is not good enough so additional work is needed before the procurement process can be launched. Reporting and monitoring quality has improved. An M&E manual was produced, and REPALEF focal points were trained to collect monitoring data. Good progress has been made in sending regular reports to the Indigenous Peoples organizations. And new members were recruited to join the Steering Committee when the mandates were renewed at the end of 2018.
