It focuses on four priority protected areas (PAs) including the Mikumi National Park (MINAPA), Nyerere National Park (NNP), Ruaha National Park (RUNAPA), and Udzungwa National Park (UMNP) and is jointly implemented by two main agencies: Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (MNRT) and Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA). Other implementing partners include Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI), Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB), Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS), National Irrigation Commission (NIRC), and Rufiji Basin Water Board (RBWB). 6/29/2021 Page 1 of 12 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tanzania: Resilient Natural Resource Management for Tourism and Growth (P150523) The Project implementation has experienced delays as reflected in the disbursement rate of 6.5 percent as of June 3, 2021 and the Moderately Unsatisfactory ratings for both Progress towards achievement of PDO and Overall Implementation Progress. Key reasons for the delays include lengthy procurement processes, the long process of partial transformation of the Selous Game Reserve into Nyerere National Park, and COVID-19 related impacts on delivering goods and consultancy services and on conducting stakeholder consultations. To address the causes of the Project’s low performance and in line with the request from the Government, the Project is being restructured to extend the Project closing date from September 28, 2023 to February 28, 2025 and realign Project activities, indicators and institutional arrangements.
