SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES The World Bank Landscape Approach to Forest Restoration and Conservation (LAFREC) (P131464) The project is making good progress towards achieving the project development objective. The project extension will help to finalize the development of a Flood Early Warning System (FEWS), set up community livelihood projects and ecosystem restoration activities. Delays in the FEWS development were caused by technical problems in obtaining topographic survey data, which subsequently delayed the development of flood models (hydrological and hydraulic) and the necessary flood hazard maps. This delay also impacted the time frame for the community design of flood mitigation measures. II.
