Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Integrated Value Chain Development:(Cost $208.40 M) Public Infrastructure and Services:(Cost $55.70 M) Research, Training and Extension:(Cost $0.60 M) Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $8.60 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions This implementation status report (ISR) is based on the 12th ISM which took place from May 30 to June 11, 2021. The overall project implementation continued to accelerate, reaching 85 percent by the end of May 2021 (up from 78 percent at the end of October 2020) . Completion of planned investments under Component 1 - Integrated Value Chain Development has reached 89 percent, involving 406 approved farmer cooperatives investment proposals. Implementation of Component 2 - Public Infrastructure and Services is catching up with the other components, with the total value of completed infrastructure investments reaching 88 percent. So far, no spending is recorded under Component 3 - Research, Training and Extension. This is because the procurement of consultants to undertake the various studies too longer than expected. However, all provinces have by now selected and contracted research teams to carry out analytical studies. 8/24/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Poverty Alleviation and Agriculture-based Industry Pilot and Demonstration in Poor Areas Project (P133326) The differences in the project implementation progress among provinces have been reduced. By end of May 2021, Gansu had completed about 92 percent of its planned investments, Sichuan 82 percent and Guizhou 79 percent. However, the implementation progress among components and counties within provinces remains uneven. With about 12 months remaining to the closing date of the project and nearly 15 percent of planned investments remain to be completed and funds disbursed, there is an urgent need to speed up both project implementation and disbursements. In addition, there is an urgent need for improving the monitoring and evaluation as well as verification of the overall project implementation performance and results. However, all provinces have by now selected and contracted research teams to carry out analytical studies.
