No The World Bank Regional Capacity Building: Water Governance (P154856) I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING The Regional Capacity Building: Water Governance Grant was signed on January 13, 2017 and declared effective on January 18, 2017. Thus far, most of the grant funded activities have been undertaken by the Client IUCN; with some initial delays the responsible agency to implement the project, IUCN India, was registered on necessary systems for disbursement and received training by the local FM staff in India by June 2017; since then 3 workshops to develop and test draft training modules were conducted successfully with participation from a wide variety of stakeholders from Bangladesh and India. A fourth regional information and dissemination workshop is planned for the end of January 2018, involving stakeholders from Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan. However, more time is required to integrate stakeholders comments to ensure that the training modules and respective e-modules are completed with high quality for sharing with interested Universities as part of their curricula offerings and to ensure a wide uptake of the training and e-modules. Progress towards achieving the Project Development Objective (PDO) and overall implementation progress was rated satisfactory in the last ISR. The PDO remains achievable, and the performance of the PMU (IUCN India Office) has been satisfactory. The project does not have an overdue audit report. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES The “parent” SAWI Phase 2 Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) is the source for financing of the “child” Regional Capacity Building: Water Governance Project (US$ 0.42 million). The SAWI is a multi-donor TF program which seeks to increase regional cooperation in the management of the Himalayan River systems to deliver sustainable, fair and inclusive development and climate resilience. The current project closing date is January 31, 2018. Given early delays in getting the implementing agency registered on Bank systems and in the timings of the last regional meeting, more time is needed to finalize outputs to desired quality levels and working towards their uptake in the region. The recipient has submitted a request for a no-cost extension (letter from January 18, 2018) with a new closing date of June 30, 2018 and an action plan has been agreed with the implementing agency. The grant activities require another 6 months for completion; the Bank team considers the new closing date (June 30, 2018) to be realistic. III.
