Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component A- Strengthening Meteorological Information Services:(Cost $42.62 M) Component B- Strengthening Hydrological Information Services and Early Warning Systems:(Cost $35.92 M) Component C- Agro-Meteorological Information Systems Development:(Cost $10.72 M) Component D- Contingent Emergency Response Component Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  --  Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  --  Satisfactory 10/21/2016 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bangladesh Weather and Climate Services Regional Project (P150220) Overall Risk Rating  --  Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project is awaiting to be declared effective. After Board approval, Planning Commission requested all the three agencies to make changes to the DPPs (National project documents of the three implementing agencies) and resubmit to Planning for ECNEC review and clearance. The DPPs of Department of Agriculture Extension and Bangladesh Water Development Board have been revised and are with Planning Commission. However, being a first time implementing agency for a World Bank project, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department is learning the processes. Ministry of Defence is also not familiar with all these requirements from government side for the donor funded project. Therefore, the BMD DPP is delayed due to internal agency issues. The Bank team is working closely to resolve these issues. The project is expected to be declared effective shortly thereafter.The ERD has already been informed about the status and is closely engaged in helping resolve it.
