Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Water supply service infrastructure improvement:(Cost $162.50 M) Component 2: Water supply service management improvement:(Cost $42.18 M) Component 3: Project Implementation support and institutional strengthening:(Cost $5.85 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Low Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project is overall on track to achieve its development objectives. All contracts under the project are either completed or under full implementation. To date, 71 percent of total investment activities has been completed and 80 percent of the IBRD Loan disbursed, and all remaining activities are expected to be completed by the June 2024 closing date. The project water supply companies (WSCs) have made substantial progress in reducing the non-revenue water and energy consumption against the final targets (with Anshan WSC fully achieving the final targets) through water supply infrastructure and service improvement as well as institutional strengthening, thus significantly improving the operational efficiency and lowering the costs of water supply services. The trial operation of the smart water systems (SWSs) has largely been completed in all three WSCs illustrating the improvement in the water supply service management. In addition, water quality is being more widely monitored in each system as part of the SWS, water quality tests are being conducted with increased in-house testing capacity in line with government standards to ensure safe water supply. The total beneficiary number has reached over 2.1 million by August 31, 2023, against the final target of 2.5 million. The next Bank implementation support mission is scheduled in March 2024. 1/9/2024 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report China: Liaoning Safe and Sustainable Urban Water Supply Project (P158713) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Low Low Low Macroeconomic Low Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies Low Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Low Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Moderate Moderate Low Sustainability Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Low Other Low Low Low Overall Moderate Moderate Low Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To improve water quality of selected water supply utilities in the project areas IN01341144 ►Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 1,349,632.00 2,121,517.00 2,504,686.00 Date 31-Jan-2018 01-Aug-2023 31-Aug-2023 30-Jun-2024 With the completion of civil works in pipeline construction, pumping station rehabilitation, and water meter Comments: replacement, the direct beneficiaries have increased and reached 901,765.
