Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1 – Strengthening Rural Land Institutions:(Cost $18.23 M) Component 2 – Support Implementation of the National Rural Land Tenure Security Program:(Cost $23.34 M) Component 3 – Training for Land Tenure Professionals:(Cost $8.41 M) Component 4 – Program Coordination, Monitoring and Knowledge Management:(Cost $4.01 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The first (pilot) phase of land registration activities is nearing completion and has demonstrated (i) strong landholder demand (27 percent above the target of 16,000 parcels certified) and (ii) the value of using a truly systematic registration approach that covers all parcels in a village at once, which has dramatically increased the efficiency of field operations. As such, the project is expected to achieve its target to deliver 16,000 Land Certificates (LC) during the pilot phase and all 53,400 LCs by the end of the project. The impact evaluation baseline covering more than 4,000 households was completed in November 2020, and a gender pilot is underway to test the impact of formalizing customary marriages and enabling husbands to voluntarily transfer and certify land parcels in their wives' names. A phone survey of 4,358 households (project and control) completed as part of the mid-term review of the project in June 2021 found that 93% of project 6/18/2022 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Cote d'Ivoire Land Policy Improvement and Implementation Project (P157206) beneficiaries sampled (including 93% of women beneficiaries) reported being satisfied with project interventions to date (higher than the results framework target of 90%). The project's Grievance Redress Mechanism is now operational, and the Agence Fonciere Rurale (AFOR) will soon launch an updated, web-based rural land information system (Système d’Information Foncière - SIFOR) that will provide landholders with access to information on the progress of their applications and will enable AFOR to efficiently monitor all land registration field operations and related Results Framework indicators.
