Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

A summary of achievements and key implementation issues is presented below: Component 1: RPCUs have prepared MYDPs for the new RLLP watersheds, updated the MYDPs for the SLMP-2 watersheds, and submitted these plans to the NPCU for approval. Updates of MYDPs for GAC-financed watersheds have not yet been completed, and MYDP implementation 6/30/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project (P163383) has not yet been completed for any of the SLMP-2 micro watersheds. The selection of sites for 20 pilot green corridors has been completed and these will be integrated into the corresponding MYDPs. Manuals for CSA, Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) have been printed and distributed to regional and woreda staff, and Regional PCUs (RPCUs) have provided training to woredas on some CSA packages. Significant further enhancement of CSA capacity development efforts is required, however, particularly at community level. The mission discussed opportunities to accelerate Income-Generating Activities (IGAs) and Value Chain (VC) interventions to support livelihoods in response to covid-19. The mission also noted that achievement of women’s participation in IGAs is below target. It was agreed that the NPCU will clarify the budget allocated for IGAs, will conduct a review of the factors behind the below target achievement of female participation in CIGs, and will finalize the ToR for the VC consultancy. Component 2: the NPCU has developed a document outlining a data management strategy and is proceeding with the development of tablet- based solutions for data collection, including developing data collection forms for internal reporting. However, efforts to streamline the management of M&E and other data do not yet appear to have been integrated into the project reporting structure. This is in part due to delays in finalizing the contract with the Water and Land Resources Center (WLRC) which includes support for streamlining data collection, management and reporting. Component 3: Implementation of this component needs to accelerate to achieve the targeted results. The NPCU will consult with the Rural Land Administration and Use Directorate (RLAUD) to: (i) determine how the transition from paper-based to digital land administration will be supported; (ii) identify how tablet-based data collection and drone-acquired imagery will be used; and (iii) update the strategy for NRLAIS, incorporating lessons learned during its initial implementation. Environment and social safeguards: Safeguards implementation remains satisfactory. Gaps remaining to be addressed include: (i) establishing functional GRMs in Amhara and Oromia GAC watersheds; (ii) appointment of the required social development specialists in Benshangul, Amhara and Oromia RPCUs; (iii) improved reporting, particularly of implementation of the gender action plan against its achievements; (iv) capacity building, especially training on safeguards instruments for GAC-financed watersheds, and on the gender action plan for relevant stakeholders; and, (v) an environment and social audit in Benishangul Gumuz and Tigray regions on performance of exotic bamboo seedlings.

The result recorded in Nov. 2019 has been corrected, as achievements against this sub-indicator can only be recorded for areas restored/reforested/afforested as part of completed MYDPs. To-date, no MYDPs have been completed under RLLP. PDO-1b should read "Land area with productivity enhancing practices applied (Ha)." The figures indicated Comments: relate to this definition of PDO-1b. The errors in PDO-1a and 1b occurred during preparation of the Additional Financing (AF) approved earlier this year. OPCS has advised that correcting this error to return these indicators to their original form will necessitate a Level 2 restructuring requiring CD approval. The team will contact MoF to explain the situation and will proceed with the restructuring in the coming weeks.
