Since the previous status report in February 2021, the critical step of investment mapping, which reviews and demarcates the project land areas for new planting, rehabilitation, and protection has been completed in all provinces. The final investment mapping reports have been endorsed by the Provincial People’s Committees (PPCs) of the eight project provinces, setting the stage for the main activities in the target areas to get underway. About 40 percent of planned procurement contracts have now been awarded and measures are being taken to ensure timely procurement of key remaining contracts before the upcoming planting seasons starting in late 2021 and early 2022. While overall progress is still substantially behind the original implementation plan, project investments and corresponding disbursements are expected to increase markedly in late 2021 in tandem with the planting season. Due to the delays in implementation during the first years of the project and a substantial reduction in the planned project area reflected in the final investment mapping reports, discussion is underway of possible project restructuring that might affect selected indicator targets, costs, and financing. 6/10/2021 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Forest Sector Modernization and Coastal Resilience Enhancement Project (P157127) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Low Low Macroeconomic Moderate Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Moderate Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial Stakeholders High Substantial Substantial Other -- -- -- Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To improve coastal forest management in the Project Provinces IN01002252 ►1.
