Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Watershed and Water Resources Planning:(Cost $13.70 M) Component 2: Infrastructure Improvements:(Cost $57.80 M) Component 3: Contingent Emergency Response Component 4: Project Management:(Cost $2.50 M) 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 Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Project has picked up pace and has started delivering on its objectives. The World Bank and the Government of Sri Lanka have agreed two measures to adjust the project as part of a broader portfolio-wide effort to support Sri Lanka’s economic recovery. First, MoI has repurposed US$10 million of uncommitted IDA to finance urgent small-scale irrigation infrastructure rehabilitation works in all 25 districts. This re-purposing is consistent with the project objectives and will help improve water availability for production and enhance the livelihoods of farming communities affected by the economic crisis. These activities are on-going, and the works are to be completed by June 30, 2024. Second, project funds were set aside to be recommitted to address other pressing needs. 8/25/2023 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sri Lanka Integrated Watershed and Water Resources Management Project (P166865) In the context of reduced financing available under the original project scope, measures to support capacity building and institutional strengthening remain key. Delays in progress on Component 1 have hindered project progress on improving watershed and water resource management capacities. The project is also supporting the Government of Sri Lanka strengthen institutional capacities on dam safety. A regulatory assessment of the status of dam safety in Sri Lanka and proposed institutional arrangements was carried out, and discussions are on-going on ways to strengthen the design and capacity of the proposed Dam Safety Regulatory Unit. In addition, the project is supporting dam safety at the project level through dam safety assessments, preparation of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plans and Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPPs).
