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

This ISR is informed by the progress made up to the last implementation support mission, dated May 13 -24, 2019, plus progress made to date i.e. July 24, 2019. The overall slow progress recorded during the May 2019 mission was mainly due to the slow implementation progresses of PFM and A/R activities (Component 1: ‘Enabling investments’). However, the implementation of these two activities significantly picked-up between May and July 2019. As a result, achievements for A/R and PFM activities to date (July 24, 2019) correspond to respectively about 65% and 61% of the cumulative targets set for Y1 and Y2 of project implementation. The A/R progress is expected to improve and reach 100% by end of September 2019, when the bimodal rainy season usually ends in South-East part of the region (Borena and Gujie area). To facilitate a pick-up of project implementation in Y3 (FY2019/20), it was decided to explore the possibility of expanding the project area to woredas adjacent to the 49 ones initially selected by the project and not facing security issues. 8/6/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Oromia National Regional State Forested Landscape Program (P156475) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Substantial Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability High High High Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social High High High Stakeholders Substantial Substantial Substantial Other -- -- -- Overall High High High Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To improve the enabling environment for sustainable forest management and investment in Oromia IN00710530 ►Score on composite index for tracking changes in the enabling environment for reducing deforestation and forest degradation (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.35 0.35 0.57 0.55 Date 31-Mar-2017 13-Nov-2018 29-Jul-2019 30-Jun-2022 IN00710556 Incentives (policy, laws, regulations, markets) (Number, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.37 0.37 0.58 0.57 IN00710557 Information (generation and dissemination of information) (Number, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.35 0.35 0.55 0.55 IN00710558 8/6/2019 Page 2 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Oromia National Regional State Forested Landscape Program (P156475) Institutions (capacity to implement & coordinate) (Number, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.33 0.33 0.58 0.54 IN00710559 ►Area reforested (Hectare(Ha), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 762.00 2,350.00 9,000.00 Date 31-Mar-2017 13-Nov-2018 29-Jul-2019 30-Jun-2022 IN00710560 ►Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 15,240.00 22,882.00 25,000.00 Date 31-Mar-2017 13-Nov-2018 29-Jul-2019 30-Jun-2022 IN00710561 Female beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 11.51 10.00 30.00 Intermediate Results Indicators by Components Enabling investment IN00710562 ►Forest area brought under management plans (Hectare(Ha), Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 7,770.00 21,922.00 120,000.00 Date 31-Mar-2017 06-Mar-2019 29-Jul-2019 30-Jun-2022 June 18, 2019 is the date of the latest update received from the counterpart.
