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

As a result the ratings for progress towards achievement of the project development objective (PDO) and overall Implementation Progress (IP) have been upgraded from Moderately Unsatisfactory (MU) to Moderately Satisfactory (MS). Financial Management and Procurement were also upgraded from Moderately Unsatisfactory (MU) to Moderately Satisfactory (MS) due to the implementation of the MTR mission recommendations and agreed actions. The weak fiduciary and implementation progress during the MTR was largely a result of Component 1: Rural Infrastructure. This was the poorest performing component and had the highest proportion of project funds allocated to it, resulting in a slowing down of the progress of the entire project. However, during the mission the Bank team found that financial progress for rural accessibility (farm roads) improved considerably since the MTR – funds utilization increased from 0.89% to over 27%. While financial progress for irrigation doubled since the MTR – from 19% utilization of funds to almost 40% as of June 2016 8/22/2016 Page 2 of 11 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Remote Rural Communities Development Project (P123820) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Low  Low 8/22/2016 Page 3 of 11 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Remote Rural Communities Development Project (P123820) Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Low  Low Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Low  Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Substantial  Low Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Low  Low Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Moderate  Moderate Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Marketed value of agricultural production increased by 20 percent in target area (Million BTN) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 110.00 -- -- 132.00 Date 17-Aug-2012 30-Jun-2015 30-Jun-2016 31-Dec-2017 Comments DoA survey completed and data analysis is under process.
