The MRC component includes all four MRC member states (Lao PDR, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam). The Project was declared effective in 2012. The Lao PDR national project (components 2 and 3 of the Project) is proceeding smoothly with disbursement at 91%. An additional financing operation of US$25 million for the Lao part of the Project (Components 2 and 3) is under preparation, with negotiations expected in mid-May 2017 and a Board date of July 6, 2017. MRC Component 1 has made slow but steady progress towards achievement of its development objectives. A key milestone for the overall Mekong Integrated Water Resources Management Program has been achieved as all three national projects: Phase 1 in the Lao PDR; Phase 2 in Vietnam; and Phase 3 in Cambodia, are now fully operational and thus able to contribute to the core activities under the MRC component. Disbursement stands at US$ 4 million, approximately 55% of the total grant amount. 5/12/2017 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mekong Integrated Water Resources Management (P104806) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Moderate  Moderate Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Substantial  Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Substantial Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  Substantial  Substantial Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL Joint action prepared and implemented to improve the identified priority transboundary IWRM issues along the Mekong mainstream, considering the regional impacts and contributing to improved management (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 4.00 Date 01-May-2012 26-Oct-2016 09-May-2017 31-Mar-2018 Comments This indicator will be slightly adjusted in the AF Project Paper.
