Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component A: Rehabilitation of key hydraulic infrastructure for flood protection and rice production:(Cost $95.48 M) Component B: Disaster risk and emergency management:(Cost $2.87 M) Component C: Infrastructure Operation and Maintenance, Project Management:(Cost $9.65 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Bank carried out a supervision mission on the field from October 21 to 25. The main conclusions of the mission were as follows: Component A Rehabilitation works for protection against floods and rice production. The Component remains Satisfactory (S). Indeed, the rehabilitation works of the main hydraulic works (Maga dam and Logone dyke) and irrigated perimeters are completed, and were subject to provisional acceptance in May 2019, followed by the lifting of some reservations in July 2019. The warranty period runs until May 2020. Regarding the resettlement activities, they are not still completed due not only to bad weather but also because of the delays in the payments of the accounts of the companies. The Mission invited the UCP to develop a strategy, together with the MINEPAT, to ensure the completion of the construction of huts and other social infrastructure before the closure of PULCI. The lack of fulfillment of government's commitments can contribute to several adverse effects such as the poor qualification of the PULCI or may jeopardize the submission of new projects to the Board 1/24/2020 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Flood Emergency Project (P143940) Component B Disaster Risk Management and Emergencies remains Moderately Satisfactory (MS). Out of the 22 automatic hydrometeorological stations planned to be installed in the Logone basin, 18 were effectively installed and made operational, including 08 in Chad and 10 in Cameroon, 04 were put in reserve in case of information gaps. The information gaps having been observed in the localities of Bélel and Zina in Cameroon and Kélo and Logone Gana in Chad, the task force plans to instrument these sites before the end of December 2019 for optimal coverage of the watershed. Regarding automatic data transmission, the equipment on the Chadian side experiences disruptions due to the instability of the GSM network and only 05 of 08 stations manage to connect to the Internet intermittently. Nevertheless, the whole of the traditional network (rain gauges, gauging scales) usually operate and the data collection is sent by observers who transmit the data by telephone to the project. To solve the problem of network, a meeting in the short term is planned with the Chadian telephone operator. The contingency plan developed for flood events, adopted and disseminated, which was subject to a full-scale simulation exercise in April 2019, was tested during the 2019 floods. The Crisis Management Committees were tested during the 2019 floods; the first aid material (tents, sleeping materials, motorized canoes, sandbags, kitchen utensils, lighting equipment and materials, power generators, etc.) acquired and prepositioned by the PULCI in the municipalities were used to secure the disaster-stricken populations, even beyond the PULCI intervention area. Component C Institutional Support remains Moderately Satisfactory (MS). The transformation component of SEMRY, through the establishment of Water User Associations and the transfer of plowing to the private sector, still needs to be reinforced during the rest of the project's extension year. 4 Water User Organizations have already been created, and their operational capacities are being reinforced.

Indeed, having a strong prevention and alert system in place requires numbers of Hydromet systems installed all along the upstream watershed, including the Chad part, as specified in the Comments: convention signed between the SEMRY and CBLT. Currently the data is being collected “manually” and is foreseen to be collected in an automatic way in the next months.
