Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Integrated watershed/sub-watershed agriculture development planning:(Cost $0.70 M) Smallholder organization, advisory support and training:(Cost $3.10 M) Sustainable watershed/sub-watershed management and support to farmer groups:(Cost $9.30 M) Strengthening MAF's Services, Planning, Programming, Coordination and Monitoring and Evaluation Functions:(Cost $3.90 M) Project management and monitoring:(Cost $4.00 M) Contingency for disaster risk response Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions After a slow start-up phase of the project, now in its third year of implementation, actual progress on the ground is being made. The watershed and community planning processes, group formation and identification of needs and priorities among farmers is nearly completed in Raumoco watershed in the East, and Tono watershed in the enclave of Oecusse, and is ongoing in the Belulik and Loes watersheds. Where farmer groups 6/7/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sustainable Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project (P155541) have been formed, activities are being prepared and will be delivered as a next step, including training, technical assistance and technology transfer. Support is being provided to MAF to improve its institutional capacity, including a sector-wide M&E capability which is well underway. A decision will be made on the use of the DLI mechanism for Component 3.1. If the detailed implementation plan proves too complex and time consuming, an alternative delivery mechanism will be considered, to be decided in June 2019. A mid-term review will be conducted during August/September 2019.
