Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Demonstration of Risk-based Agricultural Land Pollution Management.:(Cost $71.11 M) Component 2: Strengthening Agricultural Environmental Monitoring and Management.:(Cost $3.07 M) Component 3: Capacity Development and Knowledge Distribution.:(Cost $16.23 M) Component 4: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $5.92 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Good progress has been made in the preparation and implementation of the site-specific demonstration plans, covering a total demonstration area of 3300 ha. The implementation of the project has received high attention from the Provincial Government and was written into the Hunan Provincial Government’s No. 1 Document for 2019. The Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the Provincial Project Management Office (PPMO) has been working closely with the Provincial Department of Finance to address the issue of counterpart funding. The Designated Account was finally opened in March and US$ 3 million was applied. The Provincial Expert Team has been working actively to provide technical support to the PPMO and local PMOs in revising and finalizing the site-specific demonstration plans. Some key consulting services under component 2, 3, and 4 are moving ahead. 8/18/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project (P153115) However, there are some challenges which hinder the implementation, including uneven progress between counties, weak performance in supervision of the agronomic measures, delays in some key consulting services such as the external M&E etc.. The PPMO shall put efforts to strengthen the supervision of the lower performing counties and address these issues in a timely manner. The next Implementation Support Mission is tentatively scheduled in March 2020. Short technical implementation support missions may be provided by the World Bank as needed and with exact dates to be decided.
