As such the information of previous ISR for this indicator were lost and replaced with a new set of baseline and end-target. The intermediate indicator of Area provided with new/improved irrigation or drainage services - added automatically by the Corporate system - should be revised to read as Area provided with improved irrigation or drainage services. 11/27/2017 Page 8 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Vietnam Irrigated Agriculture Improvement Project (P130014) Similarly the other intermediate indicator of Area provided with new irrigation or drainage service - added automatically by the Corporate system - would need to be reflected in the revised Result Framework of the project for M&E purpose. The intermediate indicator of improved performance of Irrigation Management Company (IMC) using score card is very difficult to measure as no existing score card available. As such the team proposes to change the measurement unit from score card into Yes/No. Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed Disbursed P130014 IDA-53520 Effective USD 180.00 180.00 0.00 71.80 92.70 40% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
