Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1 Surveillance and Control Measures:(Cost $104.00 M) Component 2: Livelihood Protection and Rehabilitation:(Cost $50.00 M) Component 3: Early Warning System and Food Security:(Cost $26.00 M) Component 4: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation:(Cost $20.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The overall progress towards achieving the PDO rating has been downgraded to “moderately satisfactory” (MS). The project was approved by the World Bank Board on July 31, 2020 but effectiveness was delayed due to needed revisions to the PC-1 as per decision of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC). Between November and March, the PC-1 has been revised in close consultation with all relevant stakeholders (Ministry of Economic Affairs, Planning Commission, Provincial Agriculture Departments and Ministry of Food Security and Research (MNFSR)) and eventually approved by ECNEC. The project became effective on March 30th, 2021. The start of the project has been delayed by 12 months (after the Bank approved the project), affecting the progress towards achieving the PDO. 7/16/2021 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Locust Emergency and Food Security Project (P174314) Since Project effectiveness, MNFSR has achieved progress on the following start-up activities: (i) Designation of focal points for start-up activities and mobilization of the ministry team, (ii) Preparation of the documents required for the recruitment of key project staff (3 positions), (iii) preparation of a draft operation manual aligned with the revised PC-1, (iv) Preparation of drafts safeguards instruments. The project may need to be restructured to align the design to the current locust situation and the needs of the country. Between July 2020 and March 2021, the locust situation changed from an emergency to a situation that no longer requires urgent interventions. A mission will be organized in September to prepare the restructuring of the project.
