No Components Table Name A: Operationalisation of the SADC Groundwater Management Institute:(Cost $3.70 M) B: Strengthening institutional frameworks for sustainable groundwater management:(Cost $1.60 M) C: Advancing knowledge & information-sharing on transboundary and national groundwater:(Cost $1.90 M) D: Promoting groundwater infrastructure development:(Cost $3.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions After delays due to a slow start-up. Implementation is now in full swing. Following adjustments to the UFS-GMI relationship, especially the streamlining of procurement processes, and strengthening of the SADC-GMI team implementation pace has accelerated from mid-2017, and quality of the work done by the SADC-GMI is good. The implementation of the sub grants for member countries, which represents about 30% of the project’s budget, is under way. With the approval of the sub grants, disbursements stands now at 52% and it is expected to reach 74% by December 2019, subsequently. CIWA and GEF funds allocated to the project are expected to be fully disbursed by the new closing date of December 2020. 5/31/2019 Page 1 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report AFCRI-Sustainable Groundwater Management in SADC Member States (P127086) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating 5/31/2019 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report AFCRI-Sustainable Groundwater Management in SADC Member States (P127086) Political and Governance -- Low Low Macroeconomic -- Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies -- Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program -- Low Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability -- Moderate Moderate Fiduciary -- Moderate Moderate Environment and Social -- Moderate Moderate Stakeholders -- Moderate Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall -- Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Development of the SADC Groundwater Management Institute to a recognized center of excellence IN00700222 ►Development of the SADC Groundwater Management Institute to a recognised center of excellence (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target GMI is established and GMI established with Value n/a ongoing it is in operation 80% satisfaction Date 01-Jul-2014 17-Sep-2018 23-May-2019 31-Dec-2020 100% of the requests from Member States and stakeholders fulfilled.
