Fiscal and institutional constraints, and most recently health contingency measures adopted by governments to avoid the spread of COVID-19, have affected implementation. Through specific time-bound action plans steps are being taken to accelerate the pace of implementation. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries (MAGYP) are negotiating subsidiary loan agreements with participating provinces. Currently, the provinces of Neuquén, Córdoba, La Rioja, and Corrientes have signed their respective subsidiary loan agreements to implement the Project. A second call was made to new provinces that may be interested in joining GIRSAR, and four new provinces joined the project: Misiones, Río Negro, Formosa, and Salta. The project has already started activities under components 1 (Strengthening agro-climatic information systems) and 2 (Agricultural risk mitigation investments). Under component 2, sixteen provinces have an approved Provincial Plan for Integrated Agricultural Risk Management (PARMP). 7/25/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Integrated Risk Management in the Rural Agroindustrial System (P162316) Three investment subprojects (fire prevention, rehabilitation of livestock aqueduct, and of water supply) are approved to go into the bidding stage. As for component 3, the project is designing a pilot insurance scheme for horticultural products, which should be launched by the end of 2021.
