The Project Development Objective Level Results Indicators are: a. Improved accuracy of hydrological forecasts; b. Water storage established in rural communities; c. Water resources infrastructure investments under preparation; and, d. Water permits monitored for compliance.

At mid-term review, most of the activities under the 3 components are significantly behind schedule, with a number yet to commence. There has been very little progress against the KPIs and the overall disbursement rate is only 44% (about 23% of which is for operating and training costs) with one-third of the project duration remaining. The Project is facing a number of risks including: a) Risks related to the severe delays in implementation of the project activities; b)Risks related to the weak capacity in procurement and contract management; c) Risks related to the weak technical capacity for dam development and hydro-meteorological systems; d) Risks related to non- compliance with environmental and social safeguards and e; Risks related to the ineffective project implementation arrangements. Following from these key risks and challenges identified above, it is evident that the remaining implementation period and budget envelope will not permit the full realization of the project activities. On this basis, and the findings of the independent evaluation at MTR, the Bank recommends that the project be restructured to scale down the scope to a size more appropriate to and achievable in the current context.
