The project now is at an accelerated implementation trajectory and has already achieved some of its Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). With additional actions agreed during this MTR, the project is poised to significantly contribute to enhancing production and productivity of the selected crops and other value chains included under the project as well as improving the income of project beneficiaries. Major achievements include:  Significant increase in productivity – an average increase of 48.9% disaggregated among targeted commodities. Cassava increased productivity from a baseline of 15mt/ha to 20mt/ha (33.33%) , maize from 2.52mt/ha to 3.46mt/ha (37.3%); ginger 11.86mt/ha to 16.41mt/ha (38.4%); cocoa from 0.61mt/ ha to 0.72mt/ha (18.0%); and rice from average yield of 2.86mt/ha to 5.5mt/ha (92.3%). Project 6/8/2021 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Agro-Processing, Productivity Enhancement and Livelihood Improvement Support Project (P148616) also recorded increased productivity of tomato from 22.0 mt/ha to 43.0mt/ha (95.5%); wheat from 1.8mt/ha to 2.16mt/ha (20%). Aquaculture with an average baseline of 100kg/m3 to 130 kg/m3 (30%) and dairy from 1.31litres/cow/day to 1.79litres/cow/day (36.6%). Cashew productivity from 0.5mt/ha to 0.7mt/ha was recorded (40%).  Productivity of processed products increased on the average for the value chains at 47.7%, with milled rice moving from 3.2mt/CIG/Day to 4.9mt/CIG./Day (53.1%). Processed Cassava (Garri) moved from 1.7mt/CIG/Day to 2.35mt/CIG/Day (38.2%). Processed fish from 0.78mt/CIG//Day to 1.02mt/CIG/Day (30.8%). Processed wheat (Gurasa – Local Pizza) from 86mt/CIG/Day to 145mt/CIG/Day (68.6%).  Considerable production volume of value chains: cassava (20,005MT), rice (29,404.69MT), maize (3,261MT), ginger (15,374.59MT), and cocoa (129.14MT). Others include poultry (6,661.05MT), catfish (1,250MT), tilapia (97.5MT), wheat (2,160MT), tomato (14,520) were added to the national food basket.  Increased access to market through linkage of beneficiaries with 85 off-takers.  The Project reached a total of 39,209 direct beneficiaries (60.84% male and 39.16% females) and about 196,045 indirect beneficiaries who benefited in a total of 87 Business Alliances and out-grower schemes established across the six participating states (Cross River – 19, Enugu-5, Kaduna–16, Kano-25, Kogi-4, Lagos -18,).  Additional impact includes: (i). Empowerment of 8,078 youth and women in the area of providing them with Business, Technical and Life Skills Training, Support to business planning and facilitation of business name registration (with Corporate Affairs Commission); Start-up grant to establish a commercially viable business; and Mentorship to provide the beneficiaries with continued support from established agribusiness entrepreneurs. (ii). Linking 25 agribusiness clusters to infrastructure such as boreholes, tube wells and box culvert across the participating States. (iii). Demonstration of 96 improved technologies (50% of which are climate smart and nutrition sensitive) and which have been adopted by project beneficiaries in the 1,268 VCIPs across eleven (11) priority value chains. (iv). Establishment Grievance Redress Committee both at State and Local Government levels and equipped with complaint boxes, grievance logbook as well as a dedicated toll-free line which have settled grievances among the Project stakeholders.  As part of the MTR, the team critically assessed the ability of client to implement planned investments and programs within the remaining lifetime of the project, with a view to identifying whether there are funds that cannot be realistically put to good use, and may be considered for partial cancellation. This was because there was such a large proportion of the project commitment amount advanced to the 7 designated accounts, which has remained unutilized for a relatively long period. Though, the advances were made against workplans and budgets which have not been implemented. The team agreed to undertake a review status of disbursement periodically, to better inform the use of funds.  Detailed information on activities that are planned and/or under implementation were gathered – and the current status of procurement of services, inputs or infrastructure, with the expected end date of implementation were analyzed. The mission team intends to update these data routinely and monitor this during the next phase of implementation. A reassessment regarding possibility of partial cancellation of the Credit will be undertaken during the next mission in December 2021.
