The project development objective is to improve water resources and agricultural management and planning in Egypt, based on quantitative and spatial-based decision making tools, which is consistent with the national priorities of Egypt to improve the sustainability of water resources management. The direct beneficiaries of the program are the local and regional remote sensing institutions and the ministries of water and irrigation, agriculture and planning, regional water stakeholders, local farmers and the citizens of Egypt, which will benefit from improved access to real-time water and agriculture monitoring outputs/information, improved crop yield and local and regional water estimates among others. The APL2 consists of three components which are currently being implemented in Egypt as follows: Component 1: Improved Local Water Resources and Agricultural Management; Component 2: Capacity Building and Project Management; and Component 3: Regional Integration and Cooperation, which mainly implemented by AWC. The Egypt PMU will participate in all regional activities organized by AWC as planned. APL2 will cover the activities mainly under Components 1 and 2 for Egypt. The current project implementation status has showed that all previous pending actions have been completed, which have improved the overall project implementation progress. The project final adjusted implementation plan has been completed during the last mission in February, 2016 and the recent follow-up technical discussions. The latest status of the project implementation indicated that the project implementation has improved along the lines of PMU capacity, good progress on the procurement packages (for all required TA services, equipment, software and arranged international and local technical training programs under each identified RS modeling study), reallocated and committed project funds for all identified key activities, and adjusted and streamlined schedule that is expected to expedite the implementation. The overall project disbursement progress has been expected to improve in the next a few months. The PMU is closely following up on the agreed actions in the next step, which will further assist PMU to accelerate completion of ongoing activities and achieve outcome targets as planned, and facilitate the technical experts/international consultants to deliver the agreed technical products over coming months.

However, the PDO result targets had been adjusted based on the final agreed activities implemented under this project. In addition, the original PDO and IR targets were from the project P117170, since these two projects were related and used the same RF in the original PADs. So during the recent project MTR adjustments, the Bank and PMU project team reviewed all M&E indicators and made some changes in the PDO and IR result targets, and also added several sub-IR indicators based on the final agreed subcomponents, in order to reflect the expected achievements of the PDO and better measure the specific project outcomes and outputs expected by component under this project.
