 Implementation Status and Key Decisions
  The project implementation continues to be rated as satisfactory with disbursement reaching 68% equivalent to US$111 million. Procurement of
  approved civil works under infrastructure component has been completed in six provinces of TH, HT, QT, PT, QN and HG while procurement of the
  last package in HB will be bid out in July 2019 due to its technical redesign. It was reported that QN has used up all available budget approved in its
  subproject’s FS while two civil works packages are remained uncommitted due to no available fund. QN-PPMU is requested to revise the
  procurement plan to exclude these two remaining packages if no more fund is further granted. The total committed amount in the form of signed
  contracts is US$145 million equivalent.

  At the central level, CPMU has been carrying out activities under institutional component moderately. Six guidelines on establishment and operation
  of Water Users Organization (WUO)/Water Users Association (WUA) have been issued. Four TORs of additional guidelines to guide the
  implementation of Hydraulic Work Law have been completed. Implementation of the institutional component for irrigation management reform at
  provincial level progresses moderately against anticipated plan. PPMUs completed the Irrigation Management Transfer (IMT) Plans which have
  been submitted to PPCs for approval. Service Contracts has been piloted in QN while the draft Service Contracts has been completed in HG for
  consultation. SCADA designs have been completed in TH and QN while QT is recruiting the design consultant. GIS supplier handed over the GIS
  system and provided the GIS operational training. Provincial 5-year irrigation modernization plans are being integrated into the provincial 5-year
  medium-term investment plan. A total of 31 existing WUOs, including four WUAs (called Irrigation Management Cooperatives) have been
  strengthened with technical training. Establishment of WUA for managing secondary canal of N6 of Khe Tan irrigation scheme in QN province is still
  pending final approval although DWR has issued the guidance on the establishment.
  Implementation of climate-smart agriculture component is progressing satisfactorily. 46 out of total 48 CSA models are under implementation at
  different stages (two models – one in HT and the other one in TH province - were removed due to resistance of local farmers). The designs of the
  two remaining models for black pepper plantation in QT will be completed in August 2019. The approved scaling up program has been replicated in
  other areas in QN, HT and TH.
