Has the Global Environmental Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Name Strengthening Regulatory Framework and Capacity Building for POPs Monitoring:(Cost $1.04 M) Reduction of Releases of Unintentionally Produced Persistent Organic Pollutants:(Cost $2.72 M) Management of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs):(Cost $2.34 M) Identification and Remediation of POPs Contaminated Sites:(Cost $1.69 M) Project Management:(Cost $0.85 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO  Unsatisfactory  Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP)  Unsatisfactory  Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating  Substantial  Substantial 5/23/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 1 of 15 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Integrated POPs Management (P106885) Implementation Status and Key Decisions Implementation progress has been very limited during the past year, with the exception of the dumpsite closure related activities in Legazpi aimed at reducing the release of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (dioxins and furans). This is expected to have strong demonstration value, but will directly remediate only one-third of the planned UPOPs sites. The project has substantially exceeded its goal for preparation and approval of PCB management plans, but their implementation rate to date is very low. A national strategy on management of contaminated sites is now in place, and three of the seven planned legal instruments intended to strengthen the regulatory environment for POPs management have been adopted. The remaining four instruments are at various earlier stages of development and their adoption by project closing is uncertain. Significant progress has been made in updating PCB inventories and providing training related to regulatory enforcement, PCB management, and site remediation and control techniques. However, overall progress and completion of various demonstration activities is still significantly behind schedule, with some key planned activities unlikely to be completed by project closing. The government and the Bank are currently in discussion for a possible extension of the project closing date.
