Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Investments for climate-smart sub-projects:(Cost $77.50 M) Component 2: Capacity building for institutional stakeholders and beneficiaries’ organizations:(Cost $16.20 M) Component 3: Project Management:(Cost $15.50 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions TO BE UPDATED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1- General project status: Overall, and before the beginning of the COVID crisis, the project was evidencing an acceleration of the implementation pace of the project with 60 subprojects, out of a total target of 63 subprojects, being carried out : (i) 32 subprojects with works already completed or under implementation ; (ii) 6 subprojects with tender documents ready for launching the procurement processes; and (iii) 22 subprojects with feasibility studies under preparation. The last group of subprojects (under Group 6) is under selection and will complete and probably surpass the target of 63 subprojects. Although the disbursement rate is low, the project has already reached some results aligned with their targets, especially in terms of increase of net revenues (56% above the 30% target after two years of subproject's completion). With all Group 2 and most of Group 3 subprojects under 10/27/2020 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ecuador - Sustainable Family Farming Modernization Project (P151963) construction, it is expected that the project will reach around 60% of the main targets by June 2021 (e.g., area with improved irrigation services and number of beneficiaries). 2- Specific status of implementation of Spanish co-financing (Note: this section of the ISR is required in the co-financing agreement between AECID and World Bank): The situation of the subprojects financed by Spanish cofinancing is as follows: (i) Group 1: works have been completed for Palmar Grande (Province of Carchi) and General Plaza (Manabí) ; (ii) Group 2: 5 subprojects are under implementation since early 2019: Huaquer (Carchi), Toacaso (Cotopaxi), Pillaro Norte (Tungurahua), La Magdalena (Imbabura) and Pinguili (Tungurahua) and should be completed by the first semester of 2020 Calendar year; (iii) Groups 3: 5 subprojects have been identified for the Spanish cofinancing and are under implementation: Sucuso (Chimborazo), Mundug Yamate and Campo Alegre (both in Tungurahua) and (iv) Group 4: Feasibility studies for Perihuela (Imbabura) and Belisario Quevedo (Cotopaxi) are under preparation while the PIU will propose two more subprojects to be financed by AECID in this Group 4. The AECID is also in charge of the implementation of the Latin America Investment Facility (Euro 8 million grant from European Union). These activities are designed to complement the project (improvement of national capacities of irrigation with the irrigation school, support to agricultural investments in 4 demonstrative territories: (i) Pillaro Norte (Province of Tungurahua); (ii) Territorios de la Libertad-17 de Junio-Chambitola (Province of Pichincha); (iii) La Paquita (Province of Guyas) y (iv) un area in Manabi Province to select. The LAIF grant is having good implementation progress especially in the activities related to the Irrigation School and in demonstrative territories when the investments in production and commercialization will allow to valorize the investments form the PIT in on-farm irrigation. Thanks to the project restructuring carried out in December 2018, the PIT is allowed to finance the same kind of investments than the LAIF for the subprojects outside the LAIF demonstrative territories. This complementary of the WBG/AECID project and the LAIF Grant is seen by all the stakeholders (MAG, beneficiaries, WBG and Spanish Cooperation) of great value.

Comments: This previous ISRs showed 14.6% of increase of net revenue 1 year after subproject's completion for Group, more than the 10% target. The second round of data collection for Group 1 shows 56.7% of increase of net revenue 2 years after subproject's completion for Group, more than the 30% target.
