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

The BIP comprises coordinated actions by three Ministries (Environment; Science, Technology and Innovation; and Agriculture and Livestock and Food Supply) focused on reducing deforestation in the Cerrado biome. The FIP: CAR Project acts in synergy with ongoing Government efforts and other BIP projects. The Loan Agreement between Federative Republic of Brazil and the Bank, acting as implementing entity of the FIP under the Strategic Climate Fund, became effective on August 18, 2017. Thus, the project is under its first year of implementation using FIP funds. Nevertheless, MMA financed various activities previously planned under this project with counterpart funding. Overall, the Project is helping SFB, State Agencies, and landholders to comply with the new Forest Code mandate of conducting a cadaster of landholdings to be enrolled in the rural environmental cadaster system (SICAR), a national electronic system (big data) for the monitoring of landholdings regarding environmental compliance and for controlling illegal deforestation in permanent protect areas (APPs) and Legal Reserves (RLs). The landholdings’ information registered in the SICAR include: perimeter of the landholding, remnants of native vegetation (RVN), consolidated area, rivers, lakes and springs, Legal Reserve (RL) and areas of permanent preservation (APP). The SICAR system is being constantly improved since 2015. The SICAR electronic modules electronic modules for automated analysis of entries in the CAR are available. The Forest Service is promoting training events and workshops to strengthening the State Agencies capacity and performance. Regarding the cadaster of landholdings, the project is doing well on the registrations of landholdings in selected municipalities. In the project selected municipalities, the first step of the rural environmental cadaster enrollment has already been taken, i.e. registration of 43,000 small landholdings or 86% of the target of the project. Nevertheless, to achieve the Project objectives the following activities are still necessary: registers analyses, survey, validation, resolution of data conflicts and inconsistencies; and support forest restoration plans. Thus, the CAR process still needs to be supported to help small landholders to follow the national environmental law and, consequently, enable them to access government rural credit and technical assistance services, which may lead to improvements in land use and natural resource management systems which their livelihood, food security, income, and quality of life mostly rely on. The CAR data are available at http://www.car.gov.br/. Furthermore, the Government is carrying out of a communications campaign and mobilization in the selected Municipalities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wvHwKHv5VU\ Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Substantial  Substantial Macroeconomic  --  Substantial  Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Low  Low Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  High  High Fiduciary  --  High  High Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Moderate  Moderate 6/23/2018 Page 2 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report FIP: Environmental regularization of rural lands in the Cerrado of Brazil (P143334) Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Govt institutions provided w/ capacity buildg to improve mgt of forest resources (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 11.00 9.00 Date 22-May-2015 13-Dec-2017 31-May-2018 28-Feb-2020 Comments The fooling States are being supported through training activities and workshops to implement the rural cadaster, issuing the SICAR tools: States of Goiás, Tocantins, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Maranhão, Piauí, São Paulo and Paraná; and the Federal District.
