Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component A: Community Water Infrastructure Improvement:(Cost $120.20 M) Component B: Promotion and Installation of High Efficiency Irrigation Systems:(Cost $65.80 M) Component C: Improved Agriculture Practices:(Cost $24.40 M) Component D: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Strategic Studies:(Cost $31.70 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Overall progress of the project towards achieving PDO remains Moderately Satisfactory. The overall disbursement rate has increased to 67% in May 2021. Several PDO indicators have a completion rate of more than 78%, and the two PDO indicators on cropping intensity (in watercourses areas and through High Efficiency Irrigated systems - HEIS) have already been fully achieved. Significant progress has been recorded on gender targets with an increase of more than 10% of female beneficiaries reached by project activities. One important and innovative component of the project, the installation of HEIS is behind schedule and will require additional efforts by the project team. The project continues to record promising on the ground results on most of the components. By end of May 2021, the project has improved 4,491 community watercourses (81% of target), provided new improved irrigation/drainage services for more than 162,087 beneficiaries (81% of target) covering about 560,000 hectares, increased the cropping intensity in the area covered by the project, and established 7,889 kitchen gardens (79% of target) with 7337 women as recipients (146% of target). The project has also made significant progress in the establishment of Farmer 7/29/2021 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report PK Sindh Irrigated Agriculture Productivity Enhancement Project (P145813) Field Schools (FFS) and the training on improved agronomic practices. The area under improved agronomic practices has now surpassed the target (105%). With only six months remaining before project closing (December 31, 2021), achieving the appraisal targets and using the remaining funds will require a restructuring of the project with both an extension of the project closing date and adjustment to project activities. Although implementation of most of the project activities has been significant, the pace needs to be accelerated to meet the end-December 2021 project targets.
