The PforR has fully met the requirements for two disbursement linked indicators (DLIs): the DLI 6 (Number of counties with IT-based Infrastructure Project Management System); and DLI 5 (Number of registered rural poor with new piped drinking water connection); and fully disbursed against these DLIs. In addition, DLI 2 (Number of Pro-poor Farmer Professional Cooperatives Meeting Operational Standards), DLI 4 (Number of Farmers Completing the New Professional Farmer Development Program), and DLI 7 (Number of targeted counties with Program-based annual Budgeting plans and Annual Program-based Expenditure reports) have made good progress; and their disbursements range from 32.8 percent to 68.9 percent. The DLI 1 (Number of Enterprises Accredited as Poverty Reduction Leading Enterprises (PRLEs)), DLI 3 (Value of annual purchases of agricultural products by accredited PRLEs from farmers and farmer professional cooperatives), and DLI 8 (Poverty data platform for M&E of poverty reduction) have not disbursed but are being verified by the third-party verification agency. The PforR has also met six of its nine Program Action Plans (PAPs). The remaining PAP 4 (Prepare a design manual for rural water supply and organize two workshops to train the technicians of the county design teams on the application of the design manual), PAP 5 (Update the technical standard specifications for natural villages roads, with an emphasis on road delivery quality, climate resilience factors and maintenance; and conduct the related training to counties),and PAP 7 (Enhance the capacity to manage livestock waste through training and technical support to farmers) are partly achieved; and the residual activities pertain mainly to training and workshops, which could not be undertaken due to the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The verification of the DLI 1 (Number of Enterprises Accredited as Poverty Reduction Leading Enterprises (PRLEs)), DLI 3 (Number of Pro-poor Farmer Cooperatives Meeting the Operational Standards) and DLI 8 (Value of Agricultural Products Purchased Annually by PRLEs from Farmers and Farmer Cooperatives in the Targeted Counties) is agreed to be completed by December 31, 2020.
