This would enable enterprise and household adjustments to protect lives and support economic growth. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? O Yes o No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Modernization of Computing, Archiving and Telecommunications Facilities 26.63 Upgrading of the Observational Networks 44.13 Institutional Strengthening, Improvement in Output Dissemination and Emergency Preparedness 5.11 Overall Ratings a- Previous Rating Current Rating 0 C) Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory 3 Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory 0 Overall Risk Rating O Implementation Status Overview -g The project continues to demonstrate good implementation progress on all project components. The project development indicators have been met or exceeded in several instances. 0. The overall implementation progress is rated satisfactory. Key PDO outcome indicators (e.g. increased lead time for national and regional forecasts) are achieved, and as a result Roshydromet forecasting capacity is close to that of leading world forecasting centers such as the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the US National Center for Environmental Protection. It is expected that most of the 80 planned activities will be completed and 94.3% of the loan funds (US$75.3 million) will be utilized before Page 1 of 4 The World Bank Report No: ISR5221 December 2011. Currently, all contracts under the project except two are fully implemented. Implementation of activities related to the preparation of the proposed RU-Hydromet-2 project are picking up. This includes feasibility studies on hydrological monitoring of Volga river basin, expanding computing capacity of Roshydromet system and a study on Roshydromet's role in the national system of environmental monitoring. 0 Locations a) No Location data has been entered 0 0 Results o Project Development Objective Indicators Indicator Name Core Unit of Measure Baseline Current End Target Lead time increases for national and regional Text Value Regional forecasts at Target already achieved.
