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 Overall progress of the project towards achieving PDO remains Moderately Satisfactory. The disbursement rate increased from 67.4% in May, 2021 to 75.9% at the end of December, 2021, after 6 years of implementation. Five PDO indicators out of 9 have an achievement rate ranging between 84 and 90%, and the final targets for the 2 PDO indicators on cropping intensity increase (in lined watercourses areas and through High Efficiency Irrigation Systems - HEIS) have already been exceeded. However, overall implementation progress remains moderately satisfactory mainly due to the limited progress observed in the dissemination of HEIS. The plan of activities for the project’s last year of implementation has been discussed and finalized during a recent mission. The last year’s activities will focus on (i) consolidating and expanding achievements in the components that have obtained very satisfactory results (watercourse lining, kitchen garden (KG) HEIS kits, mostly in favor of women, provision of land levelling equipment, and beneficiaries’ capacity building), (ii) exploring the possibilities of easing the constraints that have weighed on the dissemination of open-field HEIS technology, 2/17/2022 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report PK Sindh Irrigated Agriculture Productivity Enhancement Project (P145813) (iii) improving the project’s gender results, and (iv) consolidating the sustainability of the project’s achievements, namely in the fields of farmers training and biological pest control. In order to boost the HEIS subcomponent, the following recommendations were made: (i) As of immediately, the project should dedicate resources at district level to accompany the interested farmers in their relations with financing institutions, and possibly with the Revenue Department for farmers lacking the required land title (Passbook); (ii) Solarization should be included in the HEIS package for all farmers interested, and alternative and readily available solutions to subsidize solar panels at the same rate as the rest of the HEIS equipment should be sought; (iii) A revised overall final target of 6,000 hectares was set, i.e. about double what has been achieved so far, with specific targets for small and medium beneficiaries to be defined.
