The PDO will be achieved through: (a) increasing irrigation water use efficiency and all other ways possible to effectively use water under a cap of water consumption; (b) reducing water pollution discharges under a cap of environment capacity and (c) increasing ecological river flows. The above measures will minimize the negative impacts on the ecosystem of Bohai Sea, contributing to the achievement of global environmental benefits (GEBs). Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

As of November 30, 2018, the investment completed (RMBY252.58 million) is 38% of the total investment planned under the project, compared to 21% of the last supervision mission in June 2018. The Grant financing completed (US$1.14 million) accounted for 12% of the total Grant financing for the project, compared to 4.1% of the last mission. It’s expected that the total GEF Grant financing will be faster during 2019 because many TORs for the studies and bidding processes have been completed and the contracts will be signed and implemented during the period. The Project has been implemented for over one and a half year towards its development objectives since it was effective on March 27, 2017. The Project implementation is focusing on review and updating of the terms of references (TORs) for the studies with Grant financing. Progress has been made in implementing the four components of the Project based on the M&E performance indicators updated November 2018 as summarized below: 1. Component 1: Mainstreaming of Innovative Approach on Integrated Water and Environment Management (IWEM): about 6 study contracts (MWR PMO) have been signed and under implementation or 4 under bidding process (MEE PMO) and will be soon implemented; 2. Component 2: Demonstration in Hai Bain on IWEM: There have been reductions of 950 tons of COD and 120 tons of NH3-N (in demonstration areas of Shi-Jia-Zhuang and Cheng-De), and 20.1 million cubic meters of groundwater overdraft (in demonstration areas of Gao-Cheng and Jin-Zhou) against the baseline data from demonstration areas; 3. Component 3: Scaling up the IWEM Approach in Three River Basins: This component has not started implementation yet and will be implemented after two or three years when satisfactory results are obtained from implementation of the first two components; and 4. Component 4: Institutional Capacity Building and Project Management: Training, workshops and domestic and overseas study tours have been conducted to strengthen the institutional capacity in the PMOs of MEE, MWR and Hebei Province as planned.

However, the existing government M&E system has recently been updated, which has not measured TN and TP any more. The mission considered that the impact of this change is limited in Comments: measurement of the outcome of the Project on pollution control because the project still has other two important indicators 2-A on COD and 2-B on NH3-N, which will continue to be measured by the updated Government M&E system. The MWR and MEE agreed to remove the two indicators through the project restructuring in due course together with other changes. IN00607408 2-B.
