Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component A: Community Water Infrastructure Improvement:(Cost $120.20 M) Component B: Promotion and Installation of High Efficiency Irrigation Systems:(Cost $65.80 M) Component C: Improved Agriculture Practices:(Cost $24.40 M) Component D: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Strategic Studies:(Cost $31.70 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 is approaching full disbursement. Project disbursement has increased to XDR 131.7 million (US$183.08 million) with the recent direct payment of US$7.8 million to United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) for the purchase of tents and mosquito nets as part of the post-flood relief efforts. The disbursement rate expressed in XDR has thus increased to 99.3% and the undisbursed balance is US$1.3 million. Overall progress of the project towards achieving PDO remains Moderately Satisfactory. All PDO indicators have now reached or exceeded their targets. However, the indicators on the ‘Number of improved watercourses (WCs) that are fully functional’ and ‘WCs with an increase in conveyance efficiency of at least 15%’ may have to be revised downwards when the full assessment of the damages due to the floods is available, unless the project manages to carry out all required repairs before project’s closing. The high efficiency irrigation system (HEIS) component has not progressed significantly since the previous ISM and is still lagging far behind target, as a result the overall rating of the project cannot be upgraded. 2/20/2023 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report PK Sindh Irrigated Agriculture Productivity Enhancement Project (P145813) The massive floods that have affected the Sindh Province have caused extensive damages to the SIAPEP-rehabilitated WCs that jeopardize the project’s PDO results and must be fixed without delay using counterpart funds and incorporating build-back-better measures. Full assessment is expected to be available by the end of February 2023. Repair costs have been estimated at a minimum of US$7 million. In a very timely and pertinent course of action, the project management already obtained from the Project Steering Committee (PSC) during its last session held on November 29, 2022, the authorization to use PKR1 billion (approximately US$4.4 million) of the Government of Sindh’s project funding share to finance the rehabilitation of project interventions. It was recommended that the repair works be started immediately on the damaged WCs that are already accessible, and that build-back-better measures be incorporated to increase the network resilience against future floods. A work plan and budget was elaborated for the remaining period of the project, allowing for the remaining balance of IDA funds (US$ 17.8 million in total) to be fully used and for all the commitments of the project to be fulfilled by the project closing date set on September 30, 2023. Indicators on women participation have slightly increased since the previous support mission because of specific activities dedicated to women.
