Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1. Improving the business environment for commercial agriculture development:(Cost $19.70 M) Component 2: Building a productive and climate-resilient agri-food system:(Cost $10.10 M) Component 3: Mobilizing productive private investments along the value chains:(Cost $13.92 M) Component 4: Project coordination, monitoring and knowledge management:(Cost $4.17 M) Component 5: Contingent Emergency Response Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO -- Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) -- Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating -- Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project is not yet effective. The Financing Agreement was signed on February 8, 2022, in Banjul with the effective presence of the Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs and the Minister of Agriculture. The Central Projects Coordination Unit (CPCU) in charge of GIRAV implementation is being reinforced with additional staff as planned. The effectiveness deadline is June 8, 2022, and the CPCU is on good track in meeting this deadline given progress made so far with most of the additional staff hired and the project implementation manual about to be finalized. Some of the technical studies were completed including (i) the diagnostic of the sanitary and phytosanitary and food quality control system; (ii) the detailed value chains analysis; and (iii) the marketing infrastructure. The selection of consulting firms for the technical design studies for the irrigation infrastructure and feeder roads are under process. The CPCU is working with the West and Centre Africa Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF) and the National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) to identify climate-smart improved varieties and other innovations to procure and 2/18/2022 Page 1 of 13 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Gambia Inclusive and Resilient Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (GIRAV) (P173070) transfer for the upcoming rainy season. Social engineering, awareness and communication on the project activities are being conducted with smallholders, women and youth groups, and SMEs for a smooth start of the matching grant scheme. Field trips were conducted for the identification of the feeder roads to be rehabilitated/developed based on selected criteria, in partnership with the National Road Authority (NRA) to connect production areas with market.
