Significant progress has been achieved since the last supervision mission. Several key activities that had been delayed for several years are now under implementation and fully on track. Many rural communities have formulated Local Development Plans (LDPs), which have led to the formulation of 192 community-based ecosystem management sub- projects, out of which 113 have been fully completed. The rate at which sub-projects are being implemented has increased dramatically, reflecting the success of the participatory Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR126 planning process and demonstrating the strong commitment of the beneficiaries. 2. At the end of February 2011, the disbursement rate stood at 76.16 percent for GEF financing and 60 percent for Government counterpart funding. Public Disclosure Copy 3. Despite the recent progress, implementation continues to lag. For this reason, the overall performance rating for the Project is maintained at moderately unsatisfactory (MU). 4. Government has introduced a request for an extension of the Project closing date. This request has been positively received by IDA and is now under processing. The new closing date will be December 30, 2011.
