Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

No. IDA 59000-KE) in the amount of SDR142.6 million (US$200 million equivalent) was approved by the Board of the World Bank on August 23, 2016 and it became effective on July 28, 2017 following a level 2 restructuring in May 2017 which changed the implementing agency from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning (MoDP) to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation (MoALFI). The project was launched in January 2018 during the first ISM (Jan 15 – 26, 2018) following the establishment of project implementation structures by the new County Governments. The Bank undertook the Second Implementation Support Mission (ISM) on September 17 – 28, 2019 during which remarkable progress in implementation was noted. During the mission, a six- month detailed action plan was agreed upon aimed at shifting the project focus from a linear mode of start-up activities and processes to a 6/29/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report National Agricultural and Rural Inclusive Growth Project (P153349) concurrent implementation mode of fast-tracking roll-out of physical investments in communities and counties which are ready, while at the same time continuing with capacity building and finalization of start-up activities/processes in counties/communities lagging. Since the last Implementation Support Mission of September 2018, the project has made remarkable progress in implementation of the agreed actions under all components. Disbursements have more than doubled from 6.4% in September 2018 to 15% in May 2019 and, although this is still low given that the project is getting to mid-term, there are clear signs that there is a rapid rump-up of pipelined investments which is set to significantly improve disbursements in the next 6 months.  The project has so far reached over 154,000 farmers through community mobilization and sensitization processes across all 415 targeted Wards in the 21 counties. The PICD process has been completed in 18 of the 21 counties and is also well underway in the 3 remaining counties.  A total of 332 Community Driven Development Committees (CDDCs) have been formed and 226 have signed MOUs with respective county governments in readiness for release of funds to support beneficiary communities;  So far, the project has received 448 micro-project proposals out of which 235 have been approved. Release of funds for these approved micro-projects is ongoing and some have already commenced implementation;  The project has organized 27 value chain specific stakeholder forums during which priority value-chain upgrading investments have been identified and investment plans prepared. For each of the 27 stakeholder forums held, a Value Chain Stakeholder Platform has been established to support implementation of the respective investment plans and continue championing close stakeholder engagement;  So far, the project has supported 9 selected Producer Organizations to prepare investment proposals for support under the project. Out of these, 8 have been approved and implementation is set to commence in July 2019.  Under component 3, the project has so far received 21 multi-community investment proposals from 13 counties out of which 7 have been approved and 3 have already commenced implementation. The remaining proposals are at advanced stages of fulfillment of approval conditions and are expected to be approved and commence implementation by July 2019.
