A mission has been conducted on 13-14 June 2019 (Aide Memoire and Management Letter are attached to this ISR), concentrating on the update and detailing of the Phase III Workplan 2019-2021, including updates of the Program budget and activities. The Phase III Workplan from 2019-2021 has been approved by the Steering Committee at their meeting in November 2019. With regard to program management and team composition, the TTL-ship was formally handed over in July 2019 and a new Program Analyst was hired, starting duties in October 2019. Leadership of the Danube Water Program and of individual activities have been adjusted reflecting recent changes in the team composition. PDO and project implementation status are on track and there are no fiduciary or safeguard issues to report at this time. A full implementation support mission, including technical and financial management review, is planned for December 2019. Following, an updated ISR will be prepared, including latest updates on the Results Indicators Framework. Under Component 1 (Bank executed), the focus of recent activities was on the dissemination of key results of the analytical work completed under Phase II. For Phase III, resources have been allocated to a regional Water Security Diagnostics to be elaborated in 2020. Additional funds have been earmarked for future national analytical and advisory work while support for the development of national utility performance indicator systems, benchmarking activities, and policy dialogue continues to advance in several countries. Under Component 2 (Recipient Executed), IAWD continues to implement key activities on capacity development, benchmarking and knowledge sharing, as well as actions from their Strategic Plan and Governance Framework.
