A summary of achievements and key implementation issues is presented below: Component 1: MYDPs of the 17 new watersheds have been drafted, and a bio-physical working group has been established for further review and data analysis for watershed development map preparation and related activities. In SLMP-II watersheds, 8,154 ha of land was planted with different 12/17/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project (P163383) tree, shrub, fruit and grass species. The CSA field manual has been sent for printing, and CSA activities are underway in 200 CSA micro watersheds; Component 2: Project coordination platforms at community level are established in all micro watersheds and administrative kebeles of the watersheds. Similarly, Steering and Technical Committees at woreda, regional and federal levels are established and functional. To establish watershed user's associations, the project has planned 439 community institutions at micro watershed level in SLMP-1 watersheds. The project is waiting approval of the national proclamation and guideline endorsement to formally start the establishment process. The PCU has largely completed the basic coding and relational structure necessary to ensure project data can be efficiently organized, analyzed and managed in a relational database. In addition, the NPCU indicated a large number of tablets to support data collection have been ordered and are expected before the end of 2019. In parallel, the NPCU has taken steps to procure the server resources for managing the tablet-based data collection and started developing the questionnaire templates. The NPCU will develop a detailed timeline covering all steps necessary to ensure functionality and project-wide integration of the database within six months. Component 3: To accomplish the land administration activities for 2019/20 fiscal year, training was planned for woreda, zone and region experts including contract workers on land adjudication, surveying, registration, local level land use planning and NRLAIS end-user and system administration. SLLCs were issued for 114,933 parcels for individual land holders, 570 communal land parcels and 662 institutional land parcels. Similarly, 106,813 parcels were surveyed for individual land holding and 504 communal land parcels. Environment and social safeguards: while screening for environment and social impacts has been conducted for 324 subprojects at woreda level, and community consultations and participatory approaches in planning and implementing MYDPs are encouraging, further attention is needed on (a) the establishment of a functional GRM in new watersheds; (b)positioning the required social safeguard specialists at the regional level; (c) documentation of the minutes taken during community consultations, the screening checklists, and evidence of voluntary land donations; and (d) incorporation of the gender action plan in the national and regional PCUs plans.
