Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Program restructuring has been fully completed with the following changes: (i) extending the closing date for 2 years until July 31, 2023, (ii) partial cancelling the Credit in amount of US$ 8.84m, (ii) modifying the definition of "sustainable water systems", (iv) adjusting targets and unit values for some DLIs, and (iv) updating some risk ratings. With this restructuring, the program is back on track of meeting its development objectives. The achievements to date include:  Current DO/IP rating is MS  Current disbursement is 74%  More than 4.1 million peoples are defined as program direct beneficiaries (80% of the targeted),  more than 200,000 households have access to improved water service (81% of the targeted)  more than 56,000 households have access to sustainable water supply services (54% of the targeted)  627 communes achieve status of commune wide sanitation (92% of the targeted)  there are 156 communes where the schools and health clinics maintain hygienic status (46% of the targeted). To enhance long term sustainability of the invested infrastructure, the program will focus on reviewing existing models of institutional arrangement for performing operation and maintenance of the water supply schemes and providing clear guidance to provinces on appropriate models for application. MARD will assign an agency to implement this activity aiming to have the final set of recommendations before June 30, 2022.

Changes in the risks ratings relate to the categories of "Political and Governance" and "Stakeholder". The Program has strong support from the Government leaders as well as relevant stakeholders through the approval process for Program extension during July 2021 and proper resources arrangement for the extended implementation period. As thus these ratings were downgraded to low. Other ratings are kept unchanged, related to the budget allocation, implementation and sustainability, which are all critical for the Program.
