The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tamil Nadu Irrigated Agriculture Modernization Project (P158522) Tamil Nadu Irrigated Agriculture Modernization Project (P158522) SOUTH ASIA | India | Agriculture and Food Global Practice | IBRD/IDA | Investment Project Financing | FY 2018 | Seq No: 10 | ARCHIVED on 22-May-2023 | ISR54825 | Implementing Agencies: India, Water Resources Department, Public Works Department, GoTN Key Dates Key Project Dates Bank Approval Date: 01-Dec-2017 Effectiveness Date: 23-Mar-2018 Planned Mid Term Review Date: 10-Mar-2021 Actual Mid-Term Review Date: 27-Sep-2021 Original Closing Date: 02-Jun-2025 Revised Closing Date: 02-Jun-2025 pdoTable Project Development Objectives Project Development Objective (from Project Appraisal Document) The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to enhance productivity and climate resilience of irrigated agriculture, improve water management, and increase market opportunities for farmers and agro-entrepreneurs in selected sub-basin areas of Tamil Nadu. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component A: Irrigation and Water Management:(Cost $352.80 M) Component B: Agriculture Productivity Enhancement, Diversification, Improved Livelihoods, Marketing, and Value Addition:(Cost $95.60 M) Component C: Project Management Support:(Cost $7.40 M) Component Z: Contingency Response Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO €Moderately Satisfactory €Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) €Moderately Satisfactory €Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating €Moderate €Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project continues to make acceptable progress in terms of physical targets, meeting most but falling short of just a few. Targets for the end of FY2023 have been achieved for seven of the eight PDO outcome indicators outlined in the project results framework. Of the 14 intermediate result indicators, FY2023 targets have been reached for eight, in half of which the Project team has been able to go far beyond and exceed final project targets. Shortfalls are within reach, but activity related to water user associations (WUA) – creation and strengthening – requires sustained oversight to ensure progress gets on course. While the project continues to demonstrate progress in achieving physical targets, integration, sustainability and broad-based impact of interventions require special attention. Field-level data on fundamental elements of project interventions and their interconnectedness along a causal pathway are required in order to adequately analyze and assess the extent to which activities are leading to desired long-term outcomes. 5/22/2023 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Tamil Nadu Irrigated Agriculture Modernization Project (P158522) Many of the reported numbers continue to be drawn from project-supported demonstrations plots rather than field-level data from the broader beneficiary pool, as already noted over the last few missions. Farmer adoption of improved technologies, and its impact on productivity, diversification, resource use efficiency and incomes, and the capacity and performance of WUAs, seed and bio villages, and farmer producer companies (FPC), are all areas that require strategic measurements and analysis to understand the effectiveness, coherence and sustainability of the results being achieved. Progress in meeting disbursement targets, on the other hand, continues to lag. The project has disbursed US$174.79 million or 55% of the total commitment amount of US$318.0 million, but only disbursed just above a third (US$ 16.25 million) of the FY2023 target of US $45 million, following an equally low disbursing FY2022 (45.24%). Delays in administrative sanctions (AS) during the first half of FY2023 has been a major factor affecting the rate of project implementation and disbursements, in particular for the Water Resources Department leading the sizeable investments in Component A interventions. The Mission has highlighted the importance of boosting disbursement rates in line with planned project implementation.
