Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Program has completed four years of implementation and has to catch up with the delays in investment related Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLI-3, 4), which led to disbursement delays. A request for restructuring of the Program was received from Department of Economic Affairs in December 2017. This restructuring will result in revision of result targets and Credit re-allocations between the Disbursement Linked Indicators, to reflect Government of Maharashtra's demand to emphasize peri-urban water supply scheme investments. Implementation of the M&E system is progressing with successful testing completed and roll-out to districts in progress. Close monitoring of the Program implementation is required by Government of Maharashtra, to ensure that disbursement delays are made up in the remainder of the Program period. 5/21/2018 Page 1 of 10 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report IN Maharashtra Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (P126325) Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed % Disbursed P126325 IDA-53750 Effective USD 165.00 165.00 0.00 31.32 123.25 20% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
