Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions Major activities under components one and two are at the final stages of completion that includes (i) Knowledge Management and Capacity Building, and (ii) Need Assessment for all Member States except Sudan were finalized. Verification workshops were held to validate the findings of these assessments. Additional activities such as the hiring of a Hydrologist to be stationed at ICPAC and junior hydrologist to strengthen the IGAD Water Unit were undertaken during the reporting period. Regional calibration of the Juba-Shebele river basin GeoSFM model, Groundwater related data collection and processing, Hydro-Diplomacy Training, and the first Project Steering Committee Meeting were also conducted in the last six months. Due to the inadequacy of funding and time under the project, the project is being restructured to cancel the earlier planned feasibility studies of Mt. Elgon and Baggara aquifers. Only one feasibility study (on Merti Aquifer) will proceed under Component 3. The procurement process to select a potential consultant for the feasibility study of on the Merti Aquifer is at an advanced stage. IGAD is expected to finalize the procurement and deploy the consultant before the end of February 2021.
