The PDO rating is kept at Satisfactory. The project has made good and steady progress towards achieving the PDO. The PDO remains relevant and is considered a key strategy for poverty reduction under the current Rectangular Strategy IV, and a priority for the government of Cambodia, even more relevant in the case of the COVID-19 era. Adjusting some of the values for the PDO indicators has been done at the MTR. This included the necessary baseline correction for accidentally included Battambang JSDF's associated LASED site and the adjusted beneficiary numbers at the new site in Dong. The activities and accomplishments to date provided good lessons learned for the implementation of SLC programs.
