The project first restructuring, based on the Borrower's request of March 12, 2019, has been processed in the area of adjusting the results framework and disbursement projections. 5/11/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Second Irrigation and Drainage Improvement Project (P086592) Currently, the project (status) achievements are as following: (I) all designs works have been completed, with only one design facing a clearance issue, (ii) procurement of works contracts are being completed, with the last two at bid evaluation stage and, (iii) an extensive trainings (demonstrations) programs of component 2&3 have been developed, however the commencement of the programs has delayed. The project commitment rate is 65% and, will soon reach around 90% provided the last two ongoing procurements are successfully and timely completed. The project was allocated around US$ 40 million for this CY2019, but this may not be enough in the way of catching up the accrued (disbursement) delays. Decisions: (I) the Borrower will request a second restructuring after May 31, that will consider canceling and/or reallocation of loan funds followed by the outcomes of ongoing procurements. The second restructuring will also process the adjustments to the project areas and activities change of component 2&3 earlier requested by the Borrower in the letter of March 12, 2019. (ii) The Implementing agency will apply for more financing during the end-year (August) budget revision, based on the progress of ongoing works and, to cover the goods category for procurement of field/demonstration equipment. (iii) The Implementing agency\Consultant will deploy staff, sign (outsourced) contracts and commence the training programs of component 2&3 following the dates indicated in the agreed action plan (Aide Memoir of April).
