Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Strengthening Knowledge and Capacity for Natural Resource Management:(Cost $11.00 M) Community-led Landscape Planning and Implementation:(Cost $27.00 M) Project Management and Governance:(Cost $5.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project is on track to achieve its development objectives of establishing systems to empower communities to address natural resource degradation and manage their natural resources sustainably. Out of 400 project villages where Village Natural Resource Management Committees (VNRMCs) have been established, 100% have been brought under sustainable landscape management, benefiting about 150,000 households. The government of Meghalaya with the support of the Center of Excellence (CoE) established under the project, is scaling up the project’s model of integrated landscape planning approaches, and governance principles with women in key decision-making positions, across 6000+ villages across the state, leveraging funds from other programs. The project’s innovative grant window has supported pilot initiatives such as the rehabilitation of mining areas, afforestation by Sadhana Forest using a mobile application and the empowerment of indigenous committees by establishing agroecological learning circles (ALC) in 100 villages in 8 districts. Learnings from these pilots also have the potential for state-wide scale-up. The project restructuring has been undertaken in May 2023 and the project has been extended until June 30, 2024. 8/16/2023 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Meghalaya Community-led Landscapes Management Project (P157836) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Moderate Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To strengthen community-led landscapes management in selected landscapes in the state of Meghalaya IN01325573 ►Land area under sustainable landscape management practices (Hectare(Ha), Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 27,527.00 31,510.00 31,510.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 31-Dec-2023 IN01325574 ►Village NRM Committees functioning with adequate fiduciary (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 400.00 400.00 400.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 IN01325575 ►Share of village-level NRM Plans under implementation according (Percentage, Custom) 8/16/2023 Page 2 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Meghalaya Community-led Landscapes Management Project (P157836) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 IN01325576 ►Share of target beneficiaries with rating ‘Satisfied’ or above on process and impact of project interventions (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 100.00 100.00 70.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 Intermediate Results Indicators by Components Strengthening Knowledge and Capacity for Natural Resource Management IN01325577 ►Share of villages supported with capacity-building package in NRM (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 IN01325579 ►Meghalaya Basin Management Agency functional as Agency of Excellence in community-led NRM (Yes/No, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value No Yes Yes Yes Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 Community-led Landscape Planning and Implementation IN01325578 ►Share of Village NRM Committees with equal or more representation of women among 9 members of the Executive Committee (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 20.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 IN01325580 ►Community NRM management plans prepared and approved by Village CNRM Committees and DPMU of MBMA that include financing from other central and state government sources available for NRM (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target 8/16/2023 Page 3 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Meghalaya Community-led Landscapes Management Project (P157836) Value 0.00 99.00 262.00 400.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 IN01325581 ►Forest area brought under management plans (Hectare(Ha), Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 12,587.00 12,587.00 12,585.00 Date 15-Mar-2018 15-May-2023 30-Jun-2023 14-Jul-2023 Performance-Based Conditions Data on Financial Performance Disbursements (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Currency Original Revised Cancelled Disbursed Undisbursed % Disbursed P157836 IBRD-88280 Effective USD 48.00 43.00 5.00 33.07 9.93 77% Key Dates (by loan) Project Loan/Credit/TF Status Approval Date Signing Date Effectiveness Date Orig.
