The project continues accelerating implementation making steady progress to complete the entire portfolio of investments, including alliances' subprojects as well public infrastructure works to be managed by municipal governments. a) Alliances subprojects: The third call for proposals yielded 2,313 requests for financial support, out of which 95% are for model 1, and the rest correspond to technical assistance and the integral model w/o irrigation. The requests received outnumbered the expected demand by about 54%. As such, there will be no need for a fourth call for proposals to commit available resources. A total of 1,154 subprojects are at the opportunity evaluation stage and 717 have hired facilitators to elaborate business plan. 548 subprojects have gone through the evaluation of the first report, 155 are at the second evaluation, and 78 have had their third evaluation and business plan approved. Implementation support continues to be focused in the revision and systematization of the different templates and tools that are needed for the design of the irrigation component for each alliance, as well in the training of staff to use these instruments. Important to highlight the significant efforts the PIU has dedicated to develop a strategy and related instruments for organizational strengthening targeted to producers associations. b) Public infrastructure works: An initial portfolio of 30 possible investments has been identified, including irrigation and roads. No fiduciary or safeguard-related issues have emerged over the past months.
