Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Improving Irrigation Network Infrastructure:(Cost $135.00 M) Component 2: Supporting Farmers’ Access to Improved Irrigation Technologies:(Cost $6.00 M) Component 3: Supporting the Project Implementing Entities to Manage the Irrigation Network and to Implement the Project:(Cost $9.00 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 Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project is scheduled to close on Dec 31, 2022. The project fully delivered on the loan-financed part, with the modernization of external equipment (up to the hydrants) for 100% of the target beneficiaries. Despite the water shortage affecting three of the project's four beneficiary irrigation schemes, progress has been made since the last mission in May 2022, particularly in the finalization of external modernization equipment (Component 1) and in the strengthening of capacities both at the level of the staff of the farmers (Component 2) and of the managers of the irrigation service (Component 3). However, the project faces an unforeseen situation in terms of temporary suspension of the water service for Tadla, Haouz and Doukkala which constitutes an obstacle to the verification of the achievement of certain indicators directly related to the operation of the system, as well as the evolution of high-level objectives. 1/21/2023 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report MA-Large Scale Irrigation Modernization Project (P150930) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Low Low Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Low Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial Moderate Moderate Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall Substantial Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes For the Doukkala, Gharb, Haouz and Tadla ORMVA, to provide an improved water service to farmers IN01224082 ►Direct project beneficiaries (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 9,714.00 9,814.00 9,274.00 Date 01-Sep-2015 06-Jun-2022 23-Dec-2022 31-Dec-2022 This indicator measures the number of farmers who benefitted from off-farm modernization (until the hydrants), as per the activities financed by the PMGI. On-farm investments are not considered as they are not financed by the Project. The target of 9,274 has been exceeded with a total of 9,814 beneficiaries and the following breakdown by ORMVA : Comments: Doukkala: 2,815 achieved Gharb: 2,280 beneficiaries Haouz: 1.620 beneficiaries Tadla: 3,099 beneficiaries IN01224084 1/21/2023 Page 2 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report MA-Large Scale Irrigation Modernization Project (P150930) Female beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom Supplement) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 7.80 7.65 12.00 IN01224085 ►Area with access to water on-demand in peak period (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 98.00 98.00 100.00 Date 01-Sep-2015 06-Jun-2022 23-Dec-2022 31-Dec-2022 No element indicating a deterioration of the equipment since the shutdown of the water service for Doukkala, Tadla and Haouz, these achievement rates are maintained identical. An update of this indicator will have to be made after the return of the irrigation service for these three perimeters to reassess this level of achievement. therefore, the results by ORMVAs are the following: Comments: Doukkala: 100% achieved, Haouz: 90% achieved and Tadla:100% achieved on the irrigable area (equipped area). The service is not currently operational due to the lack of water allocated to the scheme (factor not attributable to the project) Gharb: 100% achieved - Achieved with irrigation service delivery operational.

This low rate is related to the very strong water restrictions applied to this irrigation schemes. Farmers, WUA and the ORMVAD agreed to delay the request for the subsidies for on-farm equipment due to the interruption of irrigation service delivery. It is a wise decision to avoid installation on-field while the equipment will not be immediately used. Discussions were held during the May SPN mission to find a compromise to get the request approved but delaying the installation on the field. Gharb: Comments: 67% for N3 against a final target of 70% 23% for N4 against a final target of 70% Haouz: 51% against a final target of 70% Tadla: 74% achieved for sector M against a final target of 75% 67% for sector G against a final target of 75% IN01224120 ►Clients using the irrigation information system (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 8.90 10.30 30.00 Date 01-Sep-2015 06-Jun-2022 23-Dec-2022 31-Dec-2022 Equipment have been delivered in each ORMVA.
