The result recorded in Nov. 2019 has been corrected, as achievements against this sub-indicator can only be recorded for areas restored/reforested/afforested as part of completed MYDPs. To-date, no MYDPs have been completed Comments: under RLLP. PDO-1b should read "Land area with productivity enhancing practices applied (Ha)." The figures indicated relate to this definition of PDO-1b. 6/22/2022 Page 2 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project (P163383) The errors in PDO-1a and 1b occurred during preparation of the Additional Financing (AF) approved 2020. OPCS has advised that correcting this error to return these indicators to their original form will necessitate a Level 2 restructuring requiring CD approval. The team will contact MoF to explain the situation and will proceed with the restructuring in the coming weeks.
