Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Support for Intensification of On-Farm Production:(Cost $85.00 M) Component 2: Value Addition and Market Access:(Cost $45.00 M) Component 3: Policy, Regulatory and Institutional Support:(Cost $10.00 M) Component 4: Coordination and Management, and ICT Platform:(Cost $10.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions At the MTR stage, the project has fully rolled out to cover the last 33 districts bringing the total number of districts implementing the project to 57 and covering all the 12 clusters. After a slow start to implementation where disbursement rate was at 25.09% at the last implementation mission in November 2019, project implementation has turned around. In terms of the expenditure performance, the project has achieved over 100% increase in the disbursement rate from 25.09% to 52.54% as at MTR. This strong disbursement is attributed to the physical performances made in major project areas including the provision of agro-inputs through e- vouchers to beneficiary farmers; operationalization and disbursement of matching grants; and the start of rehabilitation works on road chokes. The project management improved significantly, and other areas of improvement have included the much-strengthened Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) capacity, the revitalization of collection of agricultural statistics, and the integration and use of digital technologies including the Geographic 11/24/2020 Page 1 of 13 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Agriculture Cluster Development Project (P145037) Information System (GIS). The mission noted the good progress and completion of most of the recommended activities proposed during the last ISM. Considering this progress, the overall project performance rating has been raised from Moderately Satisfactory to Satisfactory. Key Recommendations Reallocate USD 15 million from Sub-component 1.1 (E-Voucher Program): After evaluating project performance at the MTR stage, the mission agreed to reallocate $15 million to other sub-components in order to address COVID-19 related shocks, identified project bottlenecks, and additional rural infrastructure needs generated by unforeseen climate events. In order to fully achieve the project development objectives, the following principles were developed for a post-MTR approach: a. Ameliorating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural livelihoods, incomes and savings by empowering farmers with additional financial resources and capacity to invest in high-quality farm input; b. Addressing the need to support the strengthening of farmer organizations to effectively link production to value addition and marketing; c. Implementation of greater choice in size and value of agro-input packages as part of the e-voucher menu, applying lessons learnt in implementation until the MTR stage. This flexibility is expected to both enhance farmer progression across cycles and reduce the project’s average contribution to e-vouchers redeemed by beneficiary farm households, thus freeing up resources; In order to better achieve project objectives, it was agreed that $15 million from sub-component 1 will be reallocated to other sub-components as follows:  A total of US$ 5.5 million will be allocated to support COVID-19 response activities designed to enhance livelihoods. US$1.5 million will be allocated to Sub-component 1.2 and US$3.5 million to Sub-component 2.1 to strengthen weak farmer organizations and catalyze farmer groups savings and farmer revolving funds. These will support farmer access to affordable credit and enhance farmers’ capacity to co-fund inputs through the e-Voucher program;  US$ 0.5million will be allocated to Sub-component 1.3 to promote development of agro-input distribution networks to enhance efficiencies in agro-inputs marketing;  US$ 5.0 million will be allocated to Sub-component 2.3 to support removal of priority road chokes due to the significantly increased costs of the required rehabilitative works resulting from the destruction of the heavy rains and flooding of 2019 reported to have been the heaviest in twenty years; and  US4.0 million dollars to support strengthen the Agricultural Statistics Unit. The performance of Sub-component 3.3 was assessed as satisfactory during the MTR, qualifying for additional resources to enable ASU to operationalize the structures put in place for collection and reporting on administrative data. This was identified and highlighted during the second Level 2 restructuring as part of emerging sector priorities.
