Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Flood Risk Management and Environmental Sanitation:(Cost $93.00 M) Component 2: Strategic Corridors Development:(Cost $34.20 M) Component 3: Resettlement Area Development:(Cost $26.10 M) Component 4: Enhancing Climate Resilience and Leveraging Disruptive Technologies in Urban Management:(Cost $15.90 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating High Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Vinh Long City Urban Development and Enhanced Climate Resilience Project, which became effective on May 18, 2022, is supported by a US$126.9 million credit from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and a US$19.5 million grant from the Ministry for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of The Netherlands. Initially, the project encountered start-up delays, mainly due to the Government of Vietnam's requirement for a thorough reappraisal of the project’s basic designs. This critical reappraisal process was successfully completed on November 25, 2022. As the project moves forward from these initial delays, the pace of implementation is noticeably accelerating. Upcoming works include key civil works packages encompassing areas such as flood risk management, environmental sanitation, and the enhancement of urban connectivity and management through innovative technologies. This phase represents a significant step towards realizing the project’s objectives and delivering tangible benefits to Vinh Long City. 12/22/2023 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Vinh Long City Urban Development and Enhanced Climate Resilience Project in Vinh Long Province (P171700) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate High High Macroeconomic Moderate Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial High Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- Low -- Overall Substantial High Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Improved access to infrastructure IN01380308 ►People provided with access to new or improved drainage and wastewater systems (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 118,600.00 Date 01-Jul-2020 09-May-2023 20-Nov-2023 31-Dec-2025 Year 3 target (35,580) yet to be achieved.
