Introduction 1.1 Objectives of the Project The Project objective of the Irrigation Development Project (the "Project") is to improve the performance of the irrigation systems and the irrigation institutions to support agricultural producers in the project areas. The Project objective would be achieved through: (i) rehabilitating irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including construction, reconstruction, upgrading, and modernization, on existing agricultural land; (ii) introduction of new technologies in irrigated agriculture; and (iii) institutional development, strengthening of water resources management institutions and introducing a participatory approach to water management. The Project would support better water resources planning and management for sustainable use of the water resources in irrigation and drainage, mitigation of the impact of droughts and floods, and in general preparing more suitable adaptation strategies that can also cope with climate change. 1.2 Components and activities of the Project The Project is comprised of the following three components: Component 1: Infrastructure Investment The main activities include rehabilitation with some construction, reconstruction, upgrading and modernization and also the introduction of new technologies that promote water use efficiency such as drip irrigation and low-pressure sprinklers. This component will finance the implementation of irrigation and drainage infrastructure rehabilitation of about 12-13 subprojects, of which 6 each located in Republika Srpska ("RS") and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina ("FB&H"). The subprojects are selected from the long-lists of potential sub-projects that were prepared by the two Ministries. In FB&H this was based notably on proposals submitted by the cantons. The sub-projects are all located in existing agricultural land that in the past has been supplied with irrigation on existing agricultural lands. The Project will be implemented in three phases. Phase I will comprise about 4 schemes - Mostarsko polje, 8iroki Brijeg and Gora2de in FB&H, and Novo Selo, Bijeljina and Pelagicevo in RS, that would be completely prepared, in order to start the works during the first year of the project. About 9 additional sub-projects will be in different stages of readiness by effectiveness and will be grouped into Phases 2 and 3. This component will fund the Phases 2 and 3 sub- projects preparation, as well as for their subsequent implementation. Component 2: Irrigation Modernization This component includes strengthening the capacity of Ministries, the Water Agencies, Irrigation Extension services in FB&H and RS including participating municipalities and cantons, in addressing new sector policies, establishing and facilitating the capacity of WUAs, oversight and maintenance arrangements for the introduced infrastructure and facilities, the fee determination, fee collection and management, sub-project level equipment for demonstrating water-monitoring good practices, and related water resources and irrigation management. 1 IRRIGATION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT of the Ministry of Finance and Treasury of Bosnia and Herzegovina 1. Introduction (continued) 1.2 Components and activities of the Project (continued) This Component includes 3 main Subcomponents: (i) Subcomponent (2a) Agency-level Strengthening: these subcomponents will support the: (i) Development of the regulatory framework for operating irrigation schemes (tariff methodology, benchmarking of financial and technical performance, etc.) and (ii) Support the preparation of future irrigation strategies for the Entities. This sub-component would also support establishing a Technical Working Group comprising representatives of both Entities to enhance the learning from experiences across the country and help improve policy coordination. (ii) Subcomponent (2b) Farm-level Irrigation Advisory Service (IAS) and Modernization: This subcomponent would finance: (i) Strengthening the knowledge of the Entities field-level advisors on IAS, train WUAs on Operations and Maintenance, including on water quality and environmental aspects of irrigation and drainage); (ii) support on-farm demonstrations of water-saving good practices and (iii) finance on-farm water-management equipment for each Subproject serving no less than 1,000 ha (soil- moisture monitoring kits, water-flow meters, etc. (iii) Subcomponent (2c) On-demand training: This will finance demand-driven training for WUAs, related to improved agricultural technologies and practices and linking to markets. Component 3: Project Implementation Support This would cover costs of project management/PlU, including Monitoring and Evaluation, safeguards (EMPs), audits, MIS, procurement and FM training, office and mobile equipment, and baseline and (final) impact assessment surveys. 1.3 Financing of the Project 1.3.1 IDA Credit No. 5098-BA The State of Bosnia and Herzegovina ("B&H") is the borrower of the International Development Association (IDA) Credit No. 5098-BA amounting to the equivalent of XDR 25,800,000.

Mr. Vjekoslav Bevanda Report on the Project Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying project financial statements of the Federation part of the Irrigation Development Project (the "Project"), which comprise of Summary of sources and uses of funds, Balance sheet, Designated account, local bank account and petty cash statement, Statements of Credit withdrawals as of and for the year ended 31 December 2018, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes for the year then ended, financed under IDA Credit No. 5098-BA. In our opinion, the accompanying project financial statements present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of the Project as of 31 December 2018, and of the funds received and disbursed during the year then ended, in accordance with the cash basis of accounting based on International Public Sector Accounting Standard ("IPSAS"), as described in Note 4.1. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and "Guidelines: Annual Financial Reporting and Auditing for World Bank-Financed Activities issued by FMSB. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Ministry of Finance and Treasury in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Project Financial Statements The management of project implementation unit is responsible for the preparation of these project financial statements in accordance with the cash basis of accounting based on IPSAS, as described in Note 4.1., Guidelines: Annual Financial Reporting and Auditing for World Bank- Financed Activities, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of project financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Project's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Project or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

BiH: 1610000045270008 Baker Tilly Re Opinion d.o.o. trading as Baker Tilly is a member of the global network of Baker Tilly International Ltd., the members of which are separate and independent legal entities. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process. Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the project financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detected a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: * Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the project financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. * Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Project's internal control. * Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. * Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Project's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Project to cease to continue as a going concern. * Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the project financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Report on other requirements In addition, with respect to the Statement of Expenditure, adequate supporting documentation has been maintained to support claims to the World Bank for reimbursements of expenditure incurred; and all expenditure included in withdrawal applications and reimbursed against are eligible for financing under the project.
