The current implementation rate speed will most probably allow achievement of indicators by the end of the project. During the past 8 months PIU and TAs were able to achieve from 25% to about 40% of the final targets, that will likely prove the capacity of the hired TAs to push the PIU to achieve project target within the remaining time. During this first of intervention of the TAs, they were able to provide substantial support aiming at increasing production and reinforce the producers structures (Producers organizations, Cooperatives). The focus now is to ensure sustainability by focusing in strengthening the linkage to market and private sector. Meat value chain: a senior consultant was hired to support the Ministry of Agriculture to speed up and coordinate the support (both from the WB and IFC) and to prepare a strategy to ensure consistency of the support provided. . 5/29/2020 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Madagascar Agriculture Rural Growth and Land Management Project (P151469) Component 2 - Land Management - The component is undergoing reallocation of resources among its activities. A preliminary agreement with USAID to cover with satellite imagery the 6 regions not covered by CASEF has been reached. A recalculation of resources needed to achieve the planned objective in terms of PLOF (Plan Local de Occupation Fonciere and CF (Certificat Fonciere) is also ongoing. Component 3 - Feeder roads rehabilitation. The roads to be rehabilitated have been identified and the interventions to make have been agreed. The designs are either ready or will be terminated within a month. Civil works are expected to start in the period July-August 2020 an to end by December 2021. The full amount allocated to the component is expected to be disbursed and the indicators met by the end of the project. Component 4 - Project management - The project still reports about USD 33,000 of ineligible expenses. The official Bank p[rocedure for their settlement has started and an official request to be sent to the Government is currently under WFAFO review. The PIU agreed, and the Ministry confirmed, that these expenses will be reimbursed by mid -2020. The PIU should report immediately to the Bank once this has been done or, in any case, inform the Bank about the ongoing situation by June 30, 2020.

The TTL should also indicate the number of land parcels with women as a record holder, either jointly or individually. The baseline value is expected to be zero. Comments: During our last SPN mission, we considered a cumulative amount of (i) 117,000 land certificates issued by CASEF under its own management during the 2 first year of the project implementation and (ii) 70,000 land certificates more recently issued by the private service provider (Geox2) and controlled and approved 5/29/2020 Page 4 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Madagascar Agriculture Rural Growth and Land Management Project (P151469) by the State land administration units. Thus we entered in the system an amount of 186,000 land certificates in the last ISR. During the ongoing MTR mission, we figured out that the 70,000 land certificates are still not recorded in the Municipal land books. However, this data is the one to be considered in the result framework. Those land certificates have not been recorded because the State land administration would now validate the Land Use Mapping (PLOF) conditional on the integration of the land titles applications. As long as the PLOF are not validated, the land administration does not accept the registration of the land certificates in the Municipal land books. The MTR virtual mission allowed to find a technical solution to register the 70,000 pending land certificates. Thus, we still consider an amount of 186,000 issued land certificates to which will be added some more 120,000 land certificates still in the pipeline.
