Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Demonstration of Risk-based Agricultural Land Pollution Management.:(Cost $71.11 M) Component 2: Strengthening Agricultural Environmental Monitoring and Management.:(Cost $3.07 M) Component 3: Capacity Development and Knowledge Distribution.:(Cost $16.23 M) Component 4: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $5.92 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project has made good progress since the previous mission (virtual) in May 2020, in terms of the preparation and implementation of the site- specific demonstration plans, which cover a total area of 6,384 ha, 80% of completion rate (compared to the end of project target of 8,000 ha). The results of agronomic pollution control measures demonstration (implemented in 2020) show that the crop sampling points meeting food standards reached 87.36%, which is above the end target of 80%. It is appreciated that the implementation of the project has received great attention from various provincial governments. However, the project is still facing challenges which if not urgently addressed are likely to delay project implementation and disbursements, such as uneven progress among project counties and project components, delays in releasing the provincial and county counterpart funds and the supervision of implementation of the agronomic measures demonstration needed to be strengthened. The next implementation support mission is tentatively scheduled for May 2021, in between short technical missions may be conducted by the Bank as needed. 1/8/2021 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project (P153115) .
