The impact of PACA was most notable with regard to its overarching goal of increased value of marketed production through on-farm investments and increased productivity. The sub-projects of POs financed by PACA though a matching grant scheme allowed to greatly expand on-farm production capacity. The expansion in production and sales was accompanied by improvements in the agricultural technology employed. Compared to the end-of-project targets, all the four Outcomes Indicators (OIs) have been substantially achieved, and are as follows; a) Outcome Indicator 1: Increase in the value of sales from Producer Organizations supported by the project (percentage). End Target: 20.00. Results to date: 69. b) Outcome Indicator 2: Reduction of post-harvest losses from supported POs with access to the new transport infrastructures (percentage). End Target: 20.00. Results to date: 30.00. c) Outcome Indicator 3: Increase in average rice yields in the rehabilitated irrigated areas (tons/ha). End Target: 6.10. Results to date: 6.90. d) Outcome Indicator 4: Increase in crop yields for targeted crop value chains (tons/ha). (i) Maize: End Target: 3.00. Results to date: 3.10; (ii) Plantain: End Target: 7.5. Results to date: 15.5. Implementation Progress continues to be rated moderately satisfactory, as not all Intermediate Outcome Indicators (IOI) have been fully achieved, particularly those related to the rural infrastructure component due to poor contract management and an underestimation of the investment cost needed at appraisal (230 km of rural roads were rehabilitated out of 500 km planned at appraisal), and, secondly, those IOIs related to the service provision by APEX institutions (national farmer organizations) under component 3 (only 53 percent of targeted POs received support services through these organizations, and only 39.4% of those POs were satisfied with the quality of services received). As of September 30, 2016, the disbursement rate for the IDA credit stands at 99.6%. 11/1/2016 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report CM-Agricultural Competitiveness Project (P112635) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Substantial  Substantial Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Substantial  Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Low  Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Substantial  Substantial Environment and Social  --  Substantial  Substantial Stakeholders  --  Moderate  Moderate Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Increase in the value of sales from Producer Organizations supported by the Proejct (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 346.42 69.28 20.00 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 Comments The value had to be corrected as this as it was an error in the Aug 31 ISR, which was the percentage representing the degree to which the initial target of 20% “increase in the value of marketed/traded products” was exceeded, i.e. 69.28% vs. 20% target (346% = 69.28 / 20). Note: most indicator values have remained the same from August 2015. These were the data obtained through the impact assessment done, in view of the original closing date of November 30, 2015, as most project activities were completed at the time, apart from the rural roads component activities. 11/1/2016 Page 3 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report CM-Agricultural Competitiveness Project (P112635) PHINDPDOTBL  Reduction of post-harvest losses from supported POs with access to the new transport infrastructures (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 30.00 30.00 20.00 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Increase in average rice yields in the rehabilitated irrigated areas (tons/ha) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 5.20 6.90 6.90 6.10 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Increase in crop yields for three other targeted crop value chains (tons/ha) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 2.50 2.80 2.80 3.00 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Maize (Number, Custom Breakdown) 11/1/2016 Page 4 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report CM-Agricultural Competitiveness Project (P112635) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 2.50 3.10 3.10 3.00 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 PHINDPDOTBL  Plantain (Number, Custom Breakdown) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 6.50 16.70 16.70 7.50 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 Overall Comments Intermediate Results Indicators PHINDIRITBL  Reduction in transportation time to closest market (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 20.00 20.00 20.00 Date 30-Jun-2009 31-Aug-2015 19-Oct-2016 30-Dec-2016 Comments This information was drawn from the of the independent impact Assessment of the project conducted in August 2015, on supported POs with access to the rural roads already rehabilitated by the project at the time.
