Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Improving Irrigation Network Infrastructure:(Cost $135.00 M) Component 2: Supporting Farmers’ Access to Improved Irrigation Technologies:(Cost $6.00 M) Component 3: Supporting the Project Implementing Entities to Manage the Irrigation Network and to Implement the Project:(Cost $9.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project remains on track to achieve its objectives before its closing date at the end of 2022. Construction of modernized irrigation systems is making good progress as shown by the physical implementation progress rate (ranging from 38 to 100% depending on the sector, as shown in the last Aide-Memoire). Works for two sectors are already completed and another three should be completed by early 2020. The final two sectors will be completed in late 2020 and early 2021 respectively. The focus is now the facilitation of the on-farm irrigation equipment (drip systems) implemented by the Water User Associations. Activities in support of the operation and maintenance of modernized schemes are also going to 1/13/2020 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report MA-Large Scale Irrigation Modernization Project (P150930) receive more attention going forward. This will leave sufficient time prior to closing in 2022 to ensure better access to improved irrigation technologies to farmers. Going forward, progress is expected on the implementation of on-farm irrigation equipment and setting up the operational arrangements for the modernized, on-demand service to be provided by the new system, including the implementation of the individual quota system necessary to manage the water resources allocation.
