It should be noted that as per the new national Strategy for the Preservation, Rehabilitation and Expansion of Forests (SPREF), 5 of the intermediate indicators will no longer be reported on. The FIP is therefore on track to achieving its Project Development Objective. See the Results Framework section for more details. The competitive procurement process for the development of management plans for the three highly degraded Gazetted Forests (Rapides Grah and Haute Dodo) in the South-West Region is underway with contracts expected to be signed by end November. For Goin Debe, work has started. A fourth management plan for the Gazetted Forest of Scio was agreed up upon and its procurement process is underway. 11/23/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Forest Investment Program (P162789) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial Moderate Moderate Other -- -- Low Overall Substantial Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes conserve and increase the forest stock IN00869541 ►PDO Indicator 1: Net greenhouse gas emission (Metric tons/year, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 21,039,203.49 21,039,203.49 20,977,107.00 18,429,429.18 Date 25-Jan-2018 31-Jul-2019 15-Oct-2020 26-Jan-2023 Technically, the value for 2020 will be provided in 2021 based on satellite images and data from the current forest inventory by the Ministry of Water and Forests.
