The mission re-visited the definition used for measuring beneficiaries2, which resulted in a substantive upward revision to the actual count. The project reached 43,552 direct beneficiaries (over 217,000 including the indirect beneficiaries) —exceeding the target of 120,000. The Bank team acknowledged the efforts by ADSP M&E team to improve the reporting for component 1 in collaboration with IWUMD. Given implementation progress of physical works in Batch 1 and Batch 2 systems, all the intermediate results indicators made good progress since previous ISR reporting. That said, the mission noted that the M&E plan of ADSP is yet to be fully operational, especially the Management Information System to better track PDO indicator such as cropping intensity. Due to ad-hoc survey-based approach, all the indicators cannot be collected systematically. The reporting of component 2 results indicators faced challenges due to the delay in survey because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ADSP has already commissioned beefing-up M&E capacity by starting the process of hiring additional local consultant to provide dedicated technical assistance. The terms of reference for the MIS has already developed and reviewed by bank team. By next reporting cycle the reporting of cropping intensity will be precise and timely.
