The BIP comprises coordinated actions by three Ministries - Ministry of Environment (MMA); Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication (MCTIC); and Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) - focused on building synergies in order to maximize the impact of a larger set of policies aimed at reducing deforestation in the Cerrado biome through (1) improving environmental management in areas previously anthropized and (2) producing and disseminating environmental information at the biome scale. These actions are focused on 5/25/2018 Page 1 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Brazil Investment Plan Coordination Project (P152285) building synergies to maximize the impact of a larger set of policies aimed at reducing deforestation in the Cerrado Biome. The BIP’s specific objectives are to: (i) improve environmental management in previously converted areas in of the Cerrado Biome; and (ii) produce and disseminating environmental information at the biome scale. Therefore, it will be essential to take these actions forward in a joint effort to avoid the conversion processes that could occur if command and control actions are not accompanied by incentives to promote sustainable productive activities. The BIP has five projects to be implemented as a coordinated set. The Brazilian Government opted to prepare and implement separate projects, each funded by a separate grant or loan, principally to ensure good ownership by the implementing agencies. The table below summarizes the BIP’s projects under implementation. Brazil Project Multilateral Gov’t Agency Investm Development responsible ent Plan Bank Environmental regularization of rural lands (FIP: CAR) IBRD Forest Service Sustainable production in areas previously converted to agricultural use (FIP: ABC) IBRD MAPA Forest information to support public and private sectors in managing initiatives (FIP: Inter-American Forest Service Inventory) Development Bank Brazil Investment Plan Coordination (BIP: Coordination) IBRD MMA Development of Systems to Prevent Forest Fires and Monitor Vegetation Cover in IBRD MCTI Brazilian Cerrado (FIP: Systems) DGM Brazil Dedicated Grant Mechanism (DGM-Brazil) IBRD -- Brazil Investment Plan Coordination Project: This Project is implemented by the Recipient, Fundação Pró-Natureza (Funatura), in close agreement with the MMA. The parties work jointly and in a coordinated manner to implement the necessary actions and control mechanisms. MMA is responsible for supervising and monitoring the progress of work and the achievement of results. The Project provides a platform for knowledge sharing among BIP projects, the Brazil FIP Dedicated Grant Mechanism (DGM), and among other programs and projects. The Project Components are: Component 1: Brazil Investment Plan Coordination. (cost: US$0.90 million) and Component 2: Project Management. (cost: US$0.10 million). Implementation Status: On December 5, 2017 the World Bank and FUNATURA signed a grant agreement to implement the FIP Coordination project, an integral part of the Action Plan under Brazil's Forest Investment Program (FIP- Brazil). On March 1, 2018, the conditions of effectiveness were met as required: (i) the Technical Cooperation Agreement between MMA and FUNATURA was duly signed; and (ii) the project operational manual containing the first annual operating plan approved by the Bank. The Brazil Investment Plan - Interministerial Executive Committee (BIP-IEC) has the mandate to oversee the BIP’s implementation, and regular meeting are being held to align the projects and to identify potential synergies. On April 13, 2018 the 10th BIP Inter Ministerial Executive Committee meeting took place in Brasilia. To date, the Coordination Project is helping to strengthening coordination and synergies among projects throughout the implementation phase. The MMA is successfully carrying out managerial and operational procedures to coordinate the implementation of the BIP, including periodic meeting among project managers and monitoring projects implementation. A management meeting was carried out on February 28, 2018 to plan the next steps and a "project launch" mission was carried out on April 26, 2018. The Bank team is working with the counterpart to ensure a smooth start of the implementation. Risks Overall Risk Rating Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating 5/25/2018 Page 2 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Brazil Investment Plan Coordination Project (P152285) Overall  Moderate  --  Moderate Comments Key risks to success for implementation are posed by the heavy dependence on the participation and commitment of the BIP’s project implementing agencies, and key stakeholders such as BIP’s Interministerial Executive Committee (BIP-IEC). Measures to manage these risks have been put in place and include (i) recruitment of qualified procurement staff; (ii) having a non-governmental institution, Funatura, responsible for the proposed Project’s financial management and procurement, (iii) and making a different entity, the MMA, responsible for all technical aspects of the Project and coordinating actions. In addition, the design of the proposed Project includes suitable institutional arrangements to actively promote dialogue among BIP’s project implementing agencies. Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL Extent and quality of coordination of Brazil Investment Plan across relevant institutions, as result of the project. (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value N -- N Y Date 12-Apr-2017 -- 30-Apr-2018 30-Dec-2022 Comments So far, the BIP Interministerial Executive Committee (BIP-IEC), established on March 26, 2014, carried out 10 meetings. Nevertheless, the extended and quality of coordination was not yet measured. This indicator captures the extent to which Brazil Investment Plan (BIP) is coordinated across relevant institutions such as implementing agencies, Interministerial Executive Committee and CONACER. The indicator takes the form of a scorecard based on six criteria relating to the nature of coordination mechanisms and processes that seek to ensure coherent BIP implementation across relevant institutions. These criteria are expressed as questions that ask to what extent the criteria have been met: not at all (“NO”), partially (“PARTIAL”), or to a large extent/completely (“YES”). Data collected through the first evaluation based on completion of the scorecard at specified intervals. Good performance will be demonstrated by improvement in scores over time that can be linked with Project Coordination. Evaluation scorecard -completed in April 2018 Criteria / questions No Partial Yes Has the BIP’s Interministerial Executive Committee or other authoritative body been tasked with coordinating BIP planning actions? Does the BIP’s Interministerial Executive have high convening authority/hierarchical importance across BIP projects and involved ministries? Has a dedicated institutional mechanism been defined for coordination and implementation across BIP projects? Is there sufficient dedicated funding for sustaining the institutional coordination mechanism? Is there regular contact/communication among projects, BIP’s Interministerial Executive Committee, and CONACER ? Area there BIP projects being implemented in a synergetic and organizes way? 5/25/2018 Page 3 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Brazil Investment Plan Coordination Project (P152285) PHINDPDOTBL Reports on BIP’s performance and results framework consolidated and made available to the public and FIP Subcommittee, as result of the project.

In 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Brazilian project managers prepared the monitoring reports to the FIP, within established deadlines and within agreed FIP timelines. The 2017 annual report will be prepared and made available following FIP Subcommittee guidelines. It is expected that the FIP Coordination project supports the reports on BIP’s performance and results during the upcoming years.
