Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured) The Project Development Objective is to improve water resource and fisheries management in selected areas of the Lower Mekong Basin.

Regional Component (implemented through MRC Secretariat): This component closed as planned in December 2019 following the successful completions of all activities. Key achievements and lessons learned from the transboundary projects supported under the component were showcased in the 7th Regional Stakeholders Forum on Transboundary Water Resources Management held in Bangkok in May of 2019 and the project closing workshop in Luang Prabang, Laos PDR in November 2019. All the Results Indicators have been achieved. 1/6/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mekong Integrated Water Resources Management (P104806) 2. National components are implemented through MONRE and MAF. As of August 31, 2020, the cumulative disbursement to the Additional Finance Credit IDA-61180 was USD 13.09 million (or 51%) of the total financing of USD 25 million. Good progress has been made across all sub- components since the Mid Term Review in November 2019, namely on the River Basin Planning activities (with six draft River Basin Management Plans to be completed and submitted to the Government for approval by November 2020). Planned activities under the irrigation sub-component have also been completed as planned (include the rehabilitation of 19 irrigation schemes and 15 flood gates). For the fisheries management sub- component, Fisheries Management Committees (FMCs) have been established and officially registered in all 15 kum banhs, and monitoring activities have started. Despite significant progress across all sub-components, close attention from MONRE is needed to support the integration of water resources planning, modelling, the installation of new hydromet stations, along with the detailed plan for the new activities. Advancing these activities will increase the lagging project disbursement and will ensure timely completion of all activities.
