The Project is making overall good progress towards its implementation targets and is being implemented well. In December 2019 the original project will close, and the Additional Financing (AF) will continue implementation until November 2021. The project is making steady progress towards the targets set forward by the AF. Some of the key results of the project are: a) To date, the project has supported 5,139 farmers (75% of the target) to adopt new technologies to make their farms more climate smart, including irrigation systems, improved effluent management, improved use of water and shade for cattle, among others. b) The project has trained over 7,640 people in the projects objectives, including over 5,500 men and over 2,000 women. c) The project has introduced new and/or improved sustainable landscape management practices onto over 2.5M ha of land in Uruguay, or 14 percent of the total land area of Uruguay. d) The Climate Information Decision Support System or SNIA for its Spanish acronym is functioning and helping to support decisions in the public sector. To date it has supported 9 important public-sector decisions. It has also seen a total of over 70,000 uses, with steadily increasing usage. e) The project has completed a pilot to trace the application of pesticides on-farm. It supported the tracking of 33 applicators on 350,000 ha of land. Next steps will be to use the pilot results for public policy decisions. f) The project opened a large call for proposals called "More Water for Production" to support farmers in on-farm investments in water infrastructure for agriculture. The call for proposals was met with demand from 95 organizations comprising over 3,700 beneficiaries and are currently being evaluated. Prioritization of the proposals will be completed in early 2020. The Project continues to be in compliance with its fiduciary and safeguards obligations. The next World Bank implementation support mission is planned for April, 2020.

At the time of the preparation of the AF, it was expected based on previous decision-making, that the major decisions would be roughly one per Comments: year, hence the target of 8. As of this ISR the target has been surpassed (112%), indicating that data from SNIA has been more mainstreamed in the public sector than what was projected.
