However, only limited progress has been made in implementing the project activities, and so far the level of coordination and implementation support to the four national PROP projects (the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu) that was expected in the design of this this regional series of projects has not been able to be provided. An action plan has been agreed to address the project’s shortcomings, but in the meantime each of the four national PROP projects are endeavoring, with reasonable but uneven success, to move forward more independently with limited regional implementation support. 6/28/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Islands Regional Oceanscape Program (P131655) 6/28/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 3 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Islands Regional Oceanscape Program (P131655) 6/28/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 4 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Islands Regional Oceanscape Program (P131655) 6/28/2017 Public Disclosure Copy Page 5 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Pacific Islands Regional Oceanscape Program (P131655) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  Moderate  Moderate  Substantial Macroeconomic  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  Moderate  Moderate  Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  Substantial  Substantial  High Fiduciary  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  Substantial  Substantial  Substantial Stakeholders  Substantial  Substantial  Substantial Other  Moderate  Moderate  Moderate Overall  Substantial  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Number of large marine protected or marine managed areas conserving habitat critical to support Pacific fisheries, for which sustainable revenue streams are identified (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 3.00 Date 15-Feb-2015 18-Nov-2016 07-Apr-2017 30-Jun-2021 PHINDPDOTBL  Direct project beneficiaries (number), of which are female (%) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 250,000.00 Date 15-Feb-2015 18-Nov-2016 07-Apr-2017 30-Jun-2021 Overall Comments As implementation of these activities is yet to commence, no results have been achieved.
