The Project's implementing unit is the Dirección de Programas y Proyectos Sectoriales y Especiales (DIPROSE). All components are already operational and implementing activities on the ground, although with some delays due to institutional and political changes, but an action plan to accelerate project activities is being implemented. Currently, 22 provinces have joined the Project, 17 have updated and approved Provincial Strategies for the Agri-Food Sector (EPSA). Under Component 1 (Public infrastructure for agro-industrial development) 26 rural infrastructure subprojects have been requested. Its formulations are in progress and its completion is planned between June and October 2023. Under Component 2 (Agro industrial development and strengthening of 12/22/2023 Page 1 of 10 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Climate Intelligent and Inclusive Agri-food Systems Project (P176905) rural livelihoods), for Window 1 and 2 (Rural livelihoods for Economic and Productive Inclusion ), 27 Subprojects have already been approved, while 109 Profile Ideas are in the formulation process; For Window 2 (Standardized Water Plan), a contract was signed for the construction of 2,281 cisterns, and for Windows 3 and 4 (Agro industrial Entrepreneurship Subprojects), 85 Profile Ideas have been received in the first call, which are in evaluation phase.
