Project activities are designed to recognize the importance of direct participation of water users and other stakeholders. Key indicators include (i) increased surface water availability and reduced groundwater depletion, (ii) increased water productivity through a combination of engineering, management, and agricultural measures, and (iii) expanded local capacity and participation of farmers to implement similar schemes and formulate plans for sustainable water resources development and watershed management. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Component A:Partial Restoration of Water Storage Capacity of the Bund Khushdil Khan Reservoir 10.80 Component B: Small-scale Irrigation Schemes 9.66 Component C: Institutional Capacity Building, Further Studies and Preparation of the Next Phase 4.54 Public Disclosure Copy Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Implementation Status Overview Despite overall current security challenges in Pakistan as a whole, and Balochistan in particular, there is good and steady progress in project implementation. Therefore, project implementation retains its satisfactory status.

Therefore at least an additional one year will be required to complete the ongoing activities under the project including completion of two out of the three contracts under Band Khushdil Khan, and feasibility study of the Nari river Basin. Furthermore, there is considerable demand from farmers for rehabilitation of additional irrigation schemes in the project area. Government of Balochistan is to request formally for extension of Loan Closing Date. Restructuring History There has been no restructuring to date. Related Projects There are no related projects.
