The target has therefore been exceeded.

The institutional study on typha management completed in 2019 laid out suggestions on how to strengthen institutions in charge of typha management, some of which were integrated in SOGED's workplan. The activities begun in July 2019 but had to be suspended in April 2020 due to COVID-19. They have been resumed in October 2020. Comments: With the support of a consultant recruited in 2021, to date 24 entities are functional, meaning that they have developed and are implementing an annual typha management plan. Given the project is closing soon, the sustainability of the results may be questionable. However, OMVS has committed to use some of the PGIRE funds to continue to support the process initiated under TF3 of strengthening of entities in charge of typha management.

The PIU visited the sites in June 2021 to verify of the results and the quality of the intervention.

The final reports and action plans on (i) and II) were validated with the beneficiaries in July and sent to the Bank in August 2019. The reports are of good quality and the PIU is implementing selected actions of the short term plans of the two studies, mostly related to strengthening the institutional framework of typha management. The development and then conclusions of the first study, on technical intervention and Comments: maintenance needs, informed the choice of revising the type of activities for clearing canals of typha. The contract for the study on the financial assessment of typha management was signed in September 2020, activities begun in October, and the draft final report has been reviewed and was validated in September 2021. Based on this reports, OMVS has prepared a typha management action plan which is being finalised with the member states. IN01034323 ►Typha spatial distribution report produced annually using remote sensing data (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value No Yes Yes Yes Date 21-Dec-2016 27-May-2021 19-Nov-2021 30-Dec-2021 The platform integrating the remote sensing data and supporting the production of annual reports, plus the report on the spatial distribution of typha in the delta for the year 2019 was published on the OMVS website and one for 2021 is being prepared and will be ready by December. It will be presented in the next meeting of the Comité Regional du Pilotage and the Permanent Water Commission. Based on Comments: recommendations on the previous versions of the report, the area is now being expanded to cover the basin all the way to Manantali, where the raising temperature have led to an unusual development of typha. The 2020 version was put on hold because of COVID-19 related travel restrictions to the field to validate the satellite data. A training for the use of the platform took place in November 2020. 11/30/2021 Page 4 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Senegal River Basin Integrated Water Resources Management Project (P153863) IN01034324 ►Drinking water supply equipments installed (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 Date 21-Dec-2016 27-May-2021 19-Nov-2021 30-Dec-2021 The contracts for the works were signed in January 2019.Work on the eight stations has been completed, and the infrastructure has been handed over in the four states. Beneficiary communities are enjoying the use of the WSS and management committees have been set up for operation and maintenance. The Comments: capacity building of the management committees has been completed. The availability of drinking water is expected to contribute to reducing the incidence of bilharzia among school-aged children in beneficiary communities.
