Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured) To increase agricultural productivity and improve marketing of crops and animal products crops and animal products in targeted areas of the Recipient s territory. Components Table Name Component 1: Improve agricultural and animal production:(Cost $36.85 M) Component 2: Improve market related Infrastructure:(Cost $30.00 M) Component 3: Strengthening of Capacity Building and Project Management:(Cost $11.79 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Progress towards achievement of the project development objective is rated "moderately satisfactory". Since the last support mission in December 2018, the overall implementation pace and project disbursements, while still behind schedule, have increased. In particular, there is encouraging progress in the implementation of activities aimed at increasing the capacity of small-scale agricultural farmers to produce staple crops, perennial 8/20/2019 Page 1 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) crops such as coffee and cocoa, and small stock including poultry and goats. As a result, total disbursements went from $16.3 million in December 2018 to $19.90 million as of June 30, 2019. The mission also notes that no accidents or occupational health and safety (OHS) incidents have been reported by the project since the launch of project activities. Among its key achievements in the past 6 months, the Project as of June 30th, has: (i) rehabilitated 71,62 km of feeder roads. In addition, maintenance of 1713,09 km of feeder roads is ongoing and is expected to be completed by mid-September; (ii) signed co-financing agreements with nurseries and seed multiplication groups, and as a result, 4,638,000 coffee seedlings and 2,012,500 cocoa tree plants have been produced; (iii) purchased 1,955,000 doses of vaccine from the national LABOVET to vaccinate 1,774,497 poultry against the Newcastle Disease in the Libenge and Bongandanga territories; (iv) recruited 353 immunization officers and 73 supervisors to carry out the vaccinations; and (v) rehabilitated 10 hectares of pasture at the Boyambi breeding centre. However, overall project implementation progress has been downgraded to "moderately unsatisfactory" due primarily to some unexpected and significant delays in the implementation of key elements of component 2, the second largest component, which aims to continue the maintenance and rehabilitation of feeder roads and rehabilitation\construction of key local market infrastructure in the project sites. Specifically, the planned construction of marketing infrastructure (markets and storage facilities) in the new project sites (Libenge and Bongandanga) and bridges and have not yet begun. In addition, the residual impact of the delayed project effectiveness on the overall implementation progress remains an unavoidable issue, given the time lost which would have allowed project implementation to be a lot more advanced at this stage. The project is scheduled to close on March 16, 2020. Acceleration of project implementation is therefore critical. An action plan to fast-track implementation, which would also allow an upgrade of the overall project implementation performance rating has been agreed on. It includes among others, a review of outstanding civil works activities and preparation of a realistic corresponding implementation schedule; an amendment of the contract for UNOPS, the component 2 implementing partner; a selection of realistic alternatives\measures by the Project Coordination Unit to ensure completion of those works within the project's remaining time frame; and finalization of the recruitment of additional staff deemed necessary to accelerate project delivery. In addition, the Bank team will continue its bi-monthly video-conference meetings with the PCU to ensure close follow up and rigorous implementation support to the client. The next support mission is scheduled to take place in the first two weeks of December 2019. 8/20/2019 Page 2 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 3 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 4 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 5 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 6 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 7 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 8 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 9 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) 8/20/2019 Page 10 of 17 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report DRC - Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support (P092724) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- High High Macroeconomic -- Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies -- Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program -- Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability -- Moderate Moderate Fiduciary -- Moderate Substantial Environment and Social -- Substantial Substantial Stakeholders -- Low Low Other -- -- -- Overall -- Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Increased capacity of small holder farmers to produce selected staple crops and small stock.
