Has the Global Environmental Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

These results were achieved in spite of external and internal challenges which are being addressed. The management plans for the following Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are in the process of revision and/or implementation by the project: (a) Dungonab Bay – Mukkuwar Island Marine National Park (Sudan), (b) Wadi El Jemel-Hamata Marine National Park (Egypt), (c) Aquaba Marine Park (Jordan); and (d) Mosai and Maskali Islands Marine Protected Area (Djibouti). The MTR mission agreed on the need to revise and better clarify the Global Environment Objective (GEO) along with its indicators and the intermediate indicators to better capture the progress towards the achievement of the objectives. 5/23/2016 Public Disclosure Copy Page 2 of 14 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Strategic Ecosystem Management GEF Project (P113794) 5/23/2016 Public Disclosure Copy Page 3 of 14 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Strategic Ecosystem Management GEF Project (P113794) 5/23/2016 Public Disclosure Copy Page 4 of 14 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Strategic Ecosystem Management GEF Project (P113794) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating 5/23/2016 Public Disclosure Copy Page 5 of 14 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Strategic Ecosystem Management GEF Project (P113794) Political and Governance  --  Substantial  Substantial Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Substantial  Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Moderate  Moderate Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  Moderate  Moderate Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Moderate  Moderate Results Global Environmental Objective Indicators PHINDGEOTBL  Marine areas brought under biodiversity protection (ha)(Hectare(Ha), Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 40000.00 Date 29-Aug-2013 19-Feb-2016 23-May-2016 31-Jul-2017 Comments During the MTR it was suggested to revise this indicator to "Marine areas brought under biodiversity management (ha)" PHINDGEOTBL  Direct project beneficiaries(Number, Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 1200.00 1200.00 3000.00 Date 29-Aug-2013 19-Feb-2016 23-May-2016 31-Jul-2017 Comments In the revised RF, the target will be reduced to reflect the implementation pace and what can realistically be achieved by the closing date.
