Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Modernization:(Cost $11.71 M) Component 2: Water Resources Protection and Management:(Cost $3.27 M) Component 3: Project Management, Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $1.90 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The implementation of the project is significantly delayed with only 36% disbursement due to a host of reasons including COVID-19 pandemic and weather conditions. The key issue, after project restructuring, remains the slow implementation of canal rehabilitation and the pending decision of the Client on terminating this contract or not. There is still no decision on contract termination as the Iber Lepenci management and the Board of Directors are awaiting legal advise on potential claim that Contractor may raise with Court of Arbitrage. On SCADA implementation we can report that the contractor has implemented more than 98% of the planned activities and they plan to complete the handover of the system to client for operation by end of project date. 6/20/2022 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Kosovo Water Security and Canal Protection Project (P133829) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary High Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- Substantial Substantial Overall Substantial Substantial Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes PDO IN01136035 ►Increased canal-flow capacity, averaged over the bottleneck points along the canal.
