Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Institutional Development and Capacity Building for Landscape Restoration and Resilience:(Cost $2.49 M) Sustainable Landscape Management Practices:(Cost $26.56 M) Improved Management of Protected Areas and Reserves:(Cost $3.40 M) Contingent Emergency Support Project Management, Coordination, and Monitoring:(Cost $3.55 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 Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions This ISR documents key results and progress of the project based on implementation support conducted with the client from November 20 to 30th and field visits to Teza and Muyinga, which assessed the progress made by the PRRPB over the period of March to Nov 2023, and the feasibility of fully executing project funds by project close scheduled for March 2024. The last ISM found that implementation of the project's activities in Matongo has accelerated, as reflected in the increase in the disbursement rates of the GEF AF project. The IDA-funded parent has also achieved substantial progress notably under components B and C underpinned by improved capacity within the Project Implementation Unit. To date, the project has achieved a 91% execution rate on the 12 hills of the first phase relative to the final target, and 84% on the 10 hills of the second phase; and by December 2023 it is expected to achieve the entirety or 100% of the landscape restoration targets for the 22 hills of the parent project. Execution of project works on the 9 hills of Matongo financed by the GEF FA needs to be 12/22/2023 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Burundi Landscape Restoration and Resilience Project (P160613) further accelerated: with a current implementation rate of 35%, the ISR recommended to extend execution of the landscape restoration works by the local enterprises (NGOs) until 31 March in order to maximize the work and planting of the nurseries during the B season starting in February, taking into account the time it takes to take back and restock the plants.To allow full disbursement of project funding, the project closing date will be requested to be extended to September 2024 Finally, progress on the indicators of the results framework have been noted, with a decrease in erosion of 45% or 90% of the final target (50%), the number of farmers adopting improved agricultural technology has increased by 70% far exceeding the final target of the project (148%). The proportion of women adopting improved agricultural technology has also increased to 53%, the METT assessment score has also increased to 55 and has already surpassed the final target of 45 for an achievement of 121%. The project's employment-focused interventions, watershed management and landscape restoration planning guides, seed/cattle distribution and land certification have notably exceeded their final targets by 100%. The World Bank commends the successful implementation of these activities by the Government, project team and their implementing agencies, combining innovation and real-time integration of lessons learned from implementation in the field, in order to improve the quality of the implementation on the ground of project activities.
