Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component 1: Reforestation and rehabilitation of damaged ecological forest plantations:(Cost $103.30 M) Component 2: Institutional support and technology enhancement:(Cost $11.70 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Satisfactory  Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Satisfactory  Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Moderate  Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions 6/17/2015 Page 1 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Hunan Forest Restoration and Development Project (P125021) In general, the project implementation over past two and half years since it started up from early 2013 has been progressed satisfactorily, with around 82 % of the PAD targeted planting and forest restoration areas completed and 52% of total IBRD Loan disbursed by the end of April 31, 2015, which is ahead of the project design. The project technical services and monitoring programs have been put in place, but which currently are not sufficient and need to be further strengthened. The mission observed that the provincial and county PMOs have made great efforts to promote new forest management approach to enhance the resilience and environmental functions of newly reforested and rehabilitated ice-storm damaged forest ecosystem. It was also glad to notice that the issues identified by the previous Bank mission, such as shortage of counterpart funding and less attention to the implementation of Ethnic Minority Development Plan, have been addressed to large extent, and the project management has been improved over last semester. However, as the technology brought to the project is new to local forest staff and farmers, continued intensive technical services and training are needed. It is reasonable to expect that the project will achieve its development objective.
