The Project Development Objective (PDO) will be achieved by developing 17,300 ha of irrigation and appurtenant infrastructure, and providing support to the Government and the project beneficiaries for agricultural and market development and for sustainable irrigation management. Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR15501 The project has made good progress since the last mission held in October 2013. Firstly Megech construction has advanced quite substantially although still behind schedule. Secondly Ribb Management Services Contract was signed, this is the second of the two innovative PPP contracts prepared for this project and covering design review, construction supervision and performance based operation and maintenance. And thirdly the Irrigation Water Users Association Proclamation was enacted by Parliament. This is a major milestone towards improving the performance of the irrigation sector in Ethiopia and will unlock the process of establishing strong water user associations in the project area. Public Disclosure Copy However, some critical issues are continuing to affect implementation progress in both Megech and Ribb areas: in Megech the land redistribution process has not started and technical design issues (rising main and canal lining) are delaying the construction works. In Ribb the procurement for the construction contract is not completed following decision to re-bid, which puts the completion of construction before project closure on a very tight schedule. Moreover, the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is not completed yet.

The action plan establishes step-by-step problem solving approach with very clear allocation of responsibilities and was discussed extensively during the mission with the various stakeholders involved. In parallel with the implementation of the immediate actions a project restructuring was prepared as reflected in this ISR and is in the process of being approved. Together with the restructuring, the key actions to bring the Project back to satisfactory rating are the following: 1) Resolving pending design issues to accelerate Megech construction e.g. the canal lining and rising main and follow up on any other issue as they arise. 2) Launching land redistribution process in Megech to allow IWUA establishment and start of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) operations e.g. on the demonstration block in coming dry season, and on the first phase of 1,000 ha during 2015. 3) Finalizing procurement of Ribb Phase 1 Construction and submitting the RAP for clearance and disclosure so that construction activities can start at the outset of next dry season. 4) Strengthening Project coordination and management with e.g. hiring of National Project Manager and contracting of procurement and contract management technical assistance. Public Disclosure Copy To follow up on the implementation of the action plan and ensure accountability, a monthly progress review will be conducted jointly by Ministry of Water , Irrigation and Energy (MWIE), Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MoFED) and the World Bank in a meeting chaired by the State Minister. The National Project Coordination Office (NPCO) will be requested to report against each action in the plan. Restructuring History There has been no restructuring to date.
