Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1 - Strengthening agro-climatic information systems:(Cost $12.50 M) Component 2 - Agricultural risk mitigation investments:(Cost $142.20 M) Component 3 - Agricultural Emergency Response Financing and Transfer of Agroclimatic Risks:(Cost $21.90 M) Component 4 - Project coordination, monitoring and evaluation:(Cost $7.53 M) Component 5 - Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC):(Cost $3.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The GIRSAR project was declared effective on March 8th, 2019 and is supported by an IBRD loan of US$ 150 million.  Under Component 1, the procurement of equipment required for the effective operation of meteorological platforms has been completed. These systems will enhance the Borrower´s capacity to efficiently manage the weather station network, sourced by the National Meteorological Service (NMS) and private providers, and carry out valuable climate analysis and deliver personalized climate products.  Under Component 2, 26 provincial agreements have been signed, enabling significant advances in the bidding process of investment subprojects. Six investment subprojects are under implementation. It is expected that the contracts of 9 subprojects will be awarded and related works initiated before the end of the second semester of 2023, and 5 subprojects and their respective contracts awarded and 6/16/2023 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Integrated Risk Management in the Rural Agroindustrial System (P162316) works initiated before February 29, 2024. Furthermore, 14 research and validation subprojects about CSA technologies (IVT, in Spanish) were funded, and 29 technicians completed in March 2022 the first cohort of postgraduate irrigation studies in irrigation. The implementation of the second cohort, consisting of 20 students, is currently underway.  Under Component 3, the horticultural insurance pilot program has concluded, providing coverage to a total of 468 producers.
