Component 1 Agriculture Value Chain Development was performing well and on a trajectory to fully disburse ahead of the closing date; and for Component 2: Productivity Enhancement and Diversification Demonstrations, the International Service Provider (ISP) was being mobilized and a timeline established for completion of the agriculture clusters. Since then, the project has faced several issues which have delayed implementation, including Covid-19, lack of budget provision by Treasury, and most importantly, a change in Government. The recent World Bank supervision mission (Sept-Oct 2020) confirmed with government that the project is very well aligned with the Government's vision for the sector, including as it responds and recovers from the impacts of Covid-19. With this confirmation, the project is well placed to accelerate implementation and the World Bank has received a request for Additional Financing to the project (through a grant from the European Union) to scale up the impact of the project to additional districts. 11/25/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sri Lanka Agriculture Sector Modernization Project (P156019) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate High Substantial Macroeconomic Substantial Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Substantial Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and High Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other Moderate Substantial Moderate Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes PDO IN00912657 ►Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 36,880.00 48,046.00 110,000.00 Date 15-Oct-2016 04-Oct-2019 06-Nov-2020 31-Oct-2021 IN00912658 Female beneficiaries (Number, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 6,306.00 21,646.00 33,000.00 IN00912659 ►Clients who have adopted an improved agr. technology promoted by the project (Number, Corporate) 11/25/2020 Page 2 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sri Lanka Agriculture Sector Modernization Project (P156019) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 32,791.00 37,399.00 80,000.00 Date 15-Oct-2016 04-Oct-2019 06-Nov-2020 31-Oct-2021 IN00912660 Clients who adopted an improved agr. technology promoted by project – female (Number, Custom Breakdown) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 12,408.00 14,147.00 24,000.00 Date 15-Oct-2016 04-Oct-2019 06-Nov-2020 31-Oct-2021 IN00912711 ►Increase in average value of sales of agriculture products due to project interventions (Market Access Indicator) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 10.00 25.00 Date 15-Oct-2016 25-Sep-2018 06-Nov-2020 31-Oct-2021 Data is still being collected Comments: IN00912712 ►New Jobs generated through investments in agribusiness organizations under the project.
