The PDO will be achieved through: (a) increasing irrigation water use efficiency and all other ways possible to effectively use water under a cap of water consumption; (b) reducing water pollution discharges under a cap of environment capacity and (c) increasing ecological river flows. The above measures will minimize the negative impacts on the ecosystem of Bohai Sea, contributing to the achievement of global environmental benefits (GEBs). Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Mainstreaming of Innovative Approach on Integrated Water and Environment Management:(Cost $3.45 M) Component 2: Demonstration in Hai Basin on Integrated Water and Environment Management:(Cost $90.10 M) Component 3: Scaling up the Integrated Water and Environment Management Approach in Three River Basins:(Cost $7.30 M) Component 4: Institutional Capacity Building and Project Management:(Cost $3.65 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions 12/24/2019 Page 1 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report GEF Mainstreaming Integrated Water and Environment Management (P145897) Progress has been made since the last supervision in June 2019. As of December 19, 2019, the total investment completed inclusive of GEF grant and government co-finance has reached RMB 496.59 million (or 66.2% of total project investment), compared to 45% at last supervision mission in June 2019. This overall progress commensurate the 60% implementation time elapsed. GEF grant finance is completed by 18% (US$1.71 million) compared to 14% of the last mission, and needs to be accelerated as discussed in this mission. The Project has been implemented for 33 months towards its development objectives since it became effective on March 27, 2017. To date, seventeen out of the total nineteen contracts managed by MWR have been procured – the remaining two include the sub-grant agreement and one ICB contract for the integrated water and environmental management manual. On MEE side, six out of 18 contracts have been procured; and procurement for the remaining contracts are being prepared. The authorities are working to speed up the implementation of the project so that the objectives are met in a timely manner. Two key actions for MEE and MWR to take in order to accelerate project implementation include: (a) MWR PMO and MEE PMO should finalize and sign the two sub-grant agreements with Shijiazhuang Municipal PMO and Chengde Municipal PMO by Dec 31, 2019 respectively; and (b) procure contracts under Component 2 for the demonstration in Chengde on Integrated Water and Environment Management in alignment with national-level research contracts already procured by MEE. Also, the five pending Cooperation Framework Agreements were prepared and initialed during the mission. To follow up on key actions agreed during this mission, the Bank team plans to conduct a short follow-up visit to Chengde to speed up the demonstration activities in mid-January 2020. The next full Bank supervision mission is scheduled in Jun 2020. mpaTable Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Status mpaTableBody Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Low Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability Moderate Moderate Moderate Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall Moderate Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes PDO Indicators IN00789118 ►1.

However, the existing government M&E system has recently been updated, which has not measured TN and TP any more. The mission considered that the impact of this change is limited in Comments: measurement of the outcome of the Project on pollution control because the project still has other two important indicators 2-A on COD and 2-B on NH3-N, which will continue to be measured by the updated Government M&E system. The MWR and MEE agreed to remove the two indicators through the project restructuring in due course together with other changes. IN00789120 2-B.
