Component 2 (Coastal Fisheries) has completed the majority of coastal fisheries assessments under the Reimaanlok (national community-based management framework) and it has made progress in completing the associated management plans. It has also delivered a proposal for the inshore fisheries pollution program. 6/27/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Islands Regional Oceanscape Program - Republic of the Marshall Islands (P151760) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability Substantial Moderate Moderate Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Substantial Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial Substantial Substantial Other Moderate Moderate Moderate Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes PDO Indicators IN00691959 ►Actual fishing days in the RMI territory as a percentage of agreed annual VDS allocation (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 Date 15-Feb-2015 27-Nov-2018 27-Nov-2018 30-Sep-2020 100% verified by independent agent Comments: IN00691960 ►Coastal communities in RMI that are managing targeted fisheries areas (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 11.00 11.00 24.00 Date 15-Feb-2015 28-Nov-2018 28-Nov-2018 30-Sep-2020 11 communities have a final, signed off, management plan in place.
