Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project continues to register significant progress and is on track to reach its Project Development Objective (PDO). Three of the PDO indicators have surpassed the set targets, with the remaining one substantially achieved and on track. Specifically, (i) number of adolescents reporting increased consumption of nutritious foods have reached 4,033 against a target of 4,500, (ii) proportion of beneficiary groups with year round production of nutritious dense foods reached 53 percent, against a project target of 50 percent, (iii) proportion of beneficiary groups engaged in Income Generating Activities (IGAs) have reached 79 percent, against a target of 50, and (iv) 6,061 beneficiaries have been reached, of which 75 percent are females (against a target of 6000). The project is strongly integrated within the government structures, with high sense of ownership, as it has influenced adolescent nutrition to be reflected in the district implementation plans. Due to high demand created on nutritious crops as well as livelihoods, sustainability is likely to be achieved. Moving forward, the project will focus on (i) deepening communication of results and lessons learning – to be achieved through a planned national learning event, documentaries and outreach events, and (ii) ensure successful project closure operations – including preparation of the project completion report and audit.
