Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Rehabilitation of Irrigation Infrastructure:(Cost $11.91 M) Development and Strengthening of Irrigation and Water Resources Management Institutions:(Cost $3.52 M) Project Management:(Cost $1.13 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions Progress to-date is satisfactory. All public works are completed, as are most of the large-scale works. Good progress is being made on support to Water User Associations (WUAs) and on support to ALRI and MEWR. Due to earlier Component 2 delays and some additional delays because of COVID-19, a request to extend the project from December 31, 2020 until June 30, 2021 was received from the Ministry of Finance. The Bank has initiated a simple project restructuring to extend the project and will formally communicate the extension in an official letter by the next month. However, embedding reforms at national, basin, WUA and farm level, will require more time than available under the project, and ongoing support will be considered in the design of the next operation (proposed Tajikistan Resilient Irrigation Project). 11/23/2020 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Zarafshon Irrigation Rehabilitation and Management Improvement Project (P158576) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Substantial Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Substantial Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Low Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Low Low Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Low Low Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Low Low Other -- -- -- Overall Substantial Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Strenghten the institutional base for irrigation planing and management in the project area IN00901978 ►Proportion of WUAs functioning in accordance with their roles and responsibilites agreed upon in their Charters.

Observed yield changes are not monotonic increases. Yield increases of between 6 and 36 percent have been observed, and at this stage is appears yield increases are broadly meet the project target. However, the final assessment will be be Comments: undertaken after the final cropping season and subsequent survey, and based on more detailed analysis across crops and districts.
