"Support to the implementation of the National Ivory Action Plan (NIAP)" (the project's Component 1) has progressed to the point of being able to put into place the elephant DNA testing laboratory. "Support for integrated landscape management and local community participation" (Component 2) registered an improvement in the effectiveness of Protected Areas Management, as measured under the Protected Areas Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool. The project has brought over 441,000 hectares under enhanced biodiversity protection. 7/10/2020 Page 1 of 11 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Wildlife and human-elephant conflicts management in the South of Gabon (P157249) Under "Border Surveillance" (Component 3) the acquisition of field equipment has made it possible to increase coverage of the Transboundary Gamba-Mayumba-Conkouati landscape, from 15 to 20 to 35 percent between 2017, 2018, and 2019. The deployment of surveillance teams in this border area has created a front line which limits intrusions by poachers in Gabonese territory. Four times the amount of joint missions with authorities from the Republic of Congo were carried out in 2019 as opposed to 2018 with positive results in crime prevention (e.g. arrests, fines, and confiscation of weapons). mpaTable Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Status mpaTableBody Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High High High Macroeconomic Substantial Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Substantial Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Moderate Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary Moderate Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other -- Substantial Substantial Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Reduced poaching IN00868672 ►Indicator 1: Proportion of illegally killed elephants (PIKE) in targeted national parks (disaggregated by national park) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 15.00 20.00 21.00 10.00 Date 31-Dec-2015 30-Apr-2020 06-Jul-2020 31-Dec-2021 The project implementation unit states that it is having difficulties related to data interpretation, and that the target values are seemingly too ambitious for the scope of this project.
