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): ZW - Emergency Agriculture Input Project (P117212)
Country: Zimbabwe
Board Approval Date: 08/12/2009
Closing Date: 06/30/2011
Loan/Credit/Grant Number: TF-95035
Sector(s): Crops (100%)
Theme(s): Global food crisis response (100%)
Project Development Objectives: To increase access to improved seeds among 300,000 smallholder farmers in
targeted food-insecure Communal Lands of Zimbabwe
The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10
Restructuring is underway to reallocate US$1.6 million in savings from last year's seed distribution to a similar
program of seed distribution for the 2010/11 cropping season. This will allow the project to benefit an additional
45,000 households.
Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The project successfully distributed over 3,000 tons of
maize seed to more than 304,000 small-scale farmers to facilitate agricultural recovery and improve household food
security. National maize production rose by 3% despite poor rains in parts of the country. The government has now
broadly adopted the input voucher model piloted by this program for national implementation in 2010/11.
