Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Investments for climate-smart sub-projects:(Cost $77.50 M) Component 2: Capacity building for institutional stakeholders and beneficiaries’ organizations:(Cost $16.20 M) Component 3: Project Management:(Cost $15.50 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 This ISR is based on virtual implementation support provided on October 4-7, 2021 in the context of the COVID-19 emergency in Ecuador. The next (virtual or face-to-face) implementation support mission is planned for February 2022. Overall project performance ratings are considered Moderately Satisfactory. Although the COVID-19 emergency posed a slowdown in the pace of implementation, the project is reporting progress in key indicators toward the closing date of December 31, 2022: 47.3 percent increase of annual net income on area benefited by the project (79 percent of the end target of 60 percent), while 4,938 water users are provided with new/improved irrigation and drainage services (55 percent of the end target), of which 2,013 are women (112 percent of the end target), and 4,356 ha are provided with irrigation and drainage services (42 percent of the end target). Moreover, 27 farmer organizations are implementing processes of value addition (135 percent of the end target). 12/23/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ecuador - Sustainable Family Farming Modernization Project (P151963) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Substantial Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Substantial High High Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Substantial Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Substantial Substantial Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Enhance incomes of small and medium sized farm households by supporting more productive and climate- IN01074292 ►Water users provided with new/improved irrigation and drainage services (number) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 4,052.00 4,938.00 9,000.00 Date 03-Feb-2015 29-Jun-2021 17-Dec-2021 30-Jun-2021 Comments: IN01074293 Water users provided with irrigation and drainage services - female (number) (Number, Custom Breakdown) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 1,713.00 2,013.00 1,800.00 12/23/2021 Page 2 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ecuador - Sustainable Family Farming Modernization Project (P151963) Date 03-Feb-2015 29-Jun-2021 17-Dec-2021 30-Jun-2021 IN01074294 ►Increase of Annual Net Income on area benefited by project (Amount(USD), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 500.00 788.00 737.00 800.00 Date 03-Feb-2015 29-Jun-2021 17-Dec-2021 30-Jun-2021 Calculated on the area benefited by the project, only for agricultural activities within the household, and in real terms. This indicator has not been modified with 2018 restructuring, but it has been clarified that the rate at which expected income increases (10%, 30% and 60%) will be expected according to the time elapsed after work reception (1, 2 and 3 years respectively after the date of the provisional work reception). The third round of data collection for Group 1, representing 279 beneficiary productive units, shows Comments: 47.3% of increase of net revenue 2 years after subproject's completion for Group. This result shows the positive impacts that the project has been having on the improvement of net income; however, this value is lower than what was reported before the pandemic, evidencing a deceleration in net income mainly due to the increase in the prices of agricultural inputs. This indicator will be monitored during the next mission.
