Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Development of basin investment plans:(Cost $21.50 M) Increasing climate resilience of infrastructure:(Cost $122.30 M) Project implementation:(Cost $5.00 M) Contingent emergency response:(Cost $3.20 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions Component 1: Development of Basin Investment Plans (BIPs) This Component includes several deliverables in two phases: Phase 1 - Flood and drought risk mitigation plans for six priority river basins (Kelani Ganga, Attanagalu Oya, Lower Mahaweli Ganga, Gin Ganga, Nilwala Ganga, and Malwathu Oya basins) together with training and capacity building of the Government’s counterpart team of engineers for developing BIPs; and Phase II: - Flood and drought risk mitigation plans for another four river basins (Deduru Oya, Maha Oya, Gal Oya and Kalaoya basins) and selected feasibility studies recommended in Phase I as prioritized by the client. Phase I has been fully completed. The PMU has engaged a team of individual international consultants to work with the counterpart team to complete the four basin plans and local engineering consultancy firms to complete the feasibility studies. However, COVID-19 has delayed the 6/29/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Climate Resilience Improvement Project (CRIP) (P146314) completion of the four basin plans and feasibility studies which were scheduled to be completed between June-August 2020. Despite the delayed due to COVID-19, Phase II activities can be completed before the Credit closing date in December 2020. The CRIP Component 01 is also financing several consultancies to advance the implementation readiness of the Climate Resilience Multi-Phased Program (CRes MPA), the signing of which by the Government is delayed due to elections. For Component 01 of Cres MPA: a) Two individual international consultants and a local consultant have been engaged for assisting the implementing agencies to develop their road maps for modernizing forecasting and warning services and to develop technical specifications and Terms of Reference for planned activities; and b) carry out architectural designs for the proposed national meteorological center of the Department of Meteorology (DOM). For Component 2: c) Detailed engineering designs for the proposed new salinity barrier at Ambatale; and d) procurement process to select an international engineering consultant firm to carryout detailed engineering designs of flood embankments and pumping stations in lower Kelani basin. The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the progress of all these activities, however, all the other activities except the detailed designs for lower Kelani flood embankments and pumping stations can be completed before the project closing. The detailed design package is still in the procurement process and will be transferred to CRes MPA. The overall implementation progress of Component 1 is moderately satisfactory. Component 2: Climate Resilience of Infrastructure The progress of rehabilitation of flood damaged irrigation, drainage and flood control infrastructure; upgrading of inadequate bridges; and stabilization of unstable slopes in schools in Kandy district are satisfactory. However, a few contracts related to stabilization of unstable road slopes on national highways implemented by Road Development Authority (RDA) and Provincial Roads implemented by Uva Provincial Road Development Department (Uva-PRDD) are behind schedule. The agencies are closely supervising the ongoing contracts so that they can be completed by December 2020. The overall implementation progress of Component 2 is satisfactory. 2.1 Rehabilitation of flood damaged Irrigation, Drainage and Flood Control Infrastructure: Irrigation Department (ID) and Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka (MASL) are implementing the rehabilitation of flood damaged irrigation, drainage and flood control infrastructure. All of the 494 work contracts, planned under original CRIP and additional financing, have been awarded and 436 contract packages have been already completed. The remaining 58 contracts are in progress at various stages of progress and were on track before the onset of COVID 19. In addition to the originally planned activities, the ID and the MASL have awarded 15 new small contracts to utilize the savings. Although COVID-19 has delayed the progress, implementing agencies are confident that these contracts can be completed before project closing. 2. 2 Transport connectivity: Rehabilitation and Improvements to Bridges: The Road Development Authority (RDA) had originally planned to rehabilitate and improve 16 bridges under 12 contract packages. Out of 16, 14 bridges have already been completed. One of the bridges, bridge no. 53/1 on Colombo – Avissawella road will be dropped due to the delays in acquisition of 12 small land plots. The project supported other simple activities such as downstream desiltation of the stream, clearance of a concrete barrier which was under the bridge obstructing the flow etc, to resolve the flooding associated with this bridge and it has proven effective during the last monsoon season as the flood levels receded in a couple of hours. The RDA has awarded three additional new contracts at the beginning of 2020 to construct four new bridges, to utilize the local currency gains due to the depreciation of the LKR against US Dollar. These bridges were identified either as vulnerable to collapse during flooding or with inadequate opening that creates flooding upstream and becoming impassable during flood season. Those are in progress, but the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed progress by about three months. The RDA plans to complete these three contracts by December 2020. Slope stabilization on national roads: RDA is the implementation agency for these works. All the planned 10 contracts have been awarded and eight contracts have already been completed. The other two contracts were on track for completion in March 2020 and have been delayed. One of these contractors is a Japanese contractor for “rock fall stabilization” on Kandy Mahiyangana road and having challenges to travel due to the current global health situation. The Government is opening the borders on August 1, 2020 and the implementing agencies will make their best effort to complete this contract by the project closing date. Slope stabilization on Uva provincial roads: Uva Province Road Development Department is implementing these works. All the 11 slope stabilizations contracts planned have been awarded and three have already been completed. Four contracts have achieved more than 90% physical progress and are expected to be completed by July 31, 2020. The remaining four contracts will also be completed by December 31, 2020, the current project closing date. 6/29/2020 Page 2 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Climate Resilience Improvement Project (CRIP) (P146314) 3. School Safety All the 12 contracts planned under this sub-component for stabilizing unstable slopes in 18 vulnerable schools in Kandy district have been successfully completed. 4. Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) The Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) was activated to an amount of US$ 3 million to rehabilitate the rural connectivity infrastructure damaged by 2017 floods in Ratnapura, Kalutara, Galle and Hambantota districts. The CERC activities have progressed well and all 42 small works contracts have been awarded and 35 contracts have already been completed. The remaining 7 small contracts will be completed before July 31, 2020.
