Introduction


The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY10 provides information on all IBRD, IDA, and trust funded
projects that were active as of June 30, 2010. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal
communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised disclosure policy, since
FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public.

The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal
Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation
Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes.

In addition to the project progress description, the FY10 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons
of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount
and disbursements to date.

    Notes:
     Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange
      rate fluctuations over the life of the project.
     Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to
      support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches),
      released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions.
     Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph.

Project Name (ID): KI Adaptation Program PhaseII -Pilot Imp (P089326)
Country: Kiribati
Board Approval Date: 06/01/2006
Midterm Review Date: 11/11/2008
Closing Date: 12/31/2010
Loan/Credit/Grant Number: TF-56594, TF-53994, TF-56115, TF-56267
Sector (s): General public administration sector (45%), General agriculture, fishing and forestry sector (26%),
Central government administration (24%), Sub-national government administration (5%)
Theme (s): Vulnerability assessment and monitoring (25%), Climate change (25%), Natural disaster management
(24%), Other environment and natural resources management (13%), Participation and civic engagement (13%)
Project Development Objectives: The objective of the Adaptation Program Phase II is to integrate climate risk
awareness and response into economic planning and pilot cost-effective climate change adaptation measures in
priority sectors.
The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10
The project was restructured to narrow its scope, simplify implementation arrangements, and strengthen project
management and procurement capacity. The main effect will be greater focus on investments to protect coastal
assets and manage freshwater resources, while reducing or cancelling activities related to adaptation in the outer
islands.
Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Although implementation was slowed by capacity
constraints and the remoteness of Kiribati, progress has improved during the past year. The restructuring of the
project design and implementation arrangements is helping to improve performance and focus efforts on the
activities that are expected to have the most impact on outcomes such as increasing the climate resilience of selected
coastal assets and water resources. In addition, the project has already made important contributions to increasing
public awareness of climate risks, improving policies and procedures for water resource management and coastal
management, and strengthening the government's capacity for climate risk management and adaptation planning.
However, a short extension of the closing date may be required to fully achieve the project objectives.
