Changes in vegetation cover and intensity correlates with improvement in land productivity, increased carbon storage, and greater resilience to climate change due to improved absorptive and adaptive capacity (as per the PDO). Utilizing visible-red and near-infrared spectral bands, NDVI is one measure for detecting vegetation cover and can be used to track changes in vegetation over time. This indicator is meant to add value when used in combination with other indicators, and provides a benchmark for physical achievement under the operation and can be computed using remote-sensed satellite imagery data. Progress under this indicator is tracked by computing, at the pixel-level (using a spatial resolution of 30mx30m), the change in annual average NDVI from baseline, selecting pixels showing an improvement over the baseline after adjusting for external factors (i.e. seasonal or climatic variables). NDVI values are computed using medium resolution imagery (i.e. LandSat 8 or Sentinel-2) and incorporating a masking Comments: routine to exclude pixels that can result in unreliable estimates (i.e. containing clouds, shadows, water cover, etc.). The share of the project area showing an improvement in NDVI is evaluated after an appropriate lag (i.e. 1 or 2 years) on areas where interventions have taken place (PDO 1). Information on spatial location and timing of interventions in each of the project watersheds is required for tracking this intervention. Assessing performance under this indicator measures change from the baseline and compares this against any change that would have occurred without the intervention (i.e. the counterfactual). Given the lack of satisfaction with how remote-sensing based indicators have performed in the past, largely as a result of failing to control for external factors, the methodology establishing the 'counterfactual' for comparison will incorporate best practices and state of the art methods and data for modeling index values based on remote-sensed data. To avail of improvements in methods or data, the underlying methods and benchmark statistical model may be updated during the course of the project as appropriate. IN01087747 ►Project area showing an increase in LSWI correcting for climate effects (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 50.00 Date 03-May-2021 15-Jun-2021 15-Jun-2021 30-Apr-2026 Comments: The Land Surface Water Index (LSWI) measures moisture content in soil and vegetation. Improved land management practices leads to better water retention, less runoff during heavy rains and improves moisture availability during dry seasons thereby supporting more vigorous and enduring plant growth during periods of little or no rain. Soil and vegetation moisture content correlates with improvement in land productivity, increased carbon storage, and greater resilience to climate change due to improved absorptive and adaptive capacity (as per the PDO). The LSWI is the normalized difference between the near-infrared and short wave infrared spectral bands and ranges from -1 to 1. This indicator usefully complements NDVI and is meant to add value when used in combination with other indicators, and provides a benchmark for physical achievement under the operation and can be computed using remote- sensed satellite imagery data. Progress under this indicator is tracked by computing, at the pixel-level (using a spatial resolution of 30mx30m), the change in annual average LSWI from baseline, selecting pixels showing an improvement over the baseline after adjusting for external factors (i.e. seasonal or climatic variables). LSWI values are computed using medium resolution imagery (i.e. LandSat 8 or Sentinel-2) and incorporating a masking routine to exclude pixels that can result in unreliable estimates (i.e. containing clouds, shadows, water cover, etc.). The share of the project area showing an 6/29/2022 Page 3 of 11 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Second Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project (P174385) improvement in LSWI is evaluated after an appropriate lag (i.e. 1 or 2 years) on areas where interventions have taken place (PDO 1). Information on spatial location and timing of interventions in each of the project watersheds is required for tracking this intervention. Assessing performance under this indicator measures change from the baseline and compares this against any change that would have occurred without the intervention (i.e. the counterfactual).

By diversifying their livelihood portfolios, households are being proactive in adapting and transforming their livelihoods to limit exposure to future shocks due to climate change and extreme weather events. This indicator is measured as the percent of households engaging in approved, non-traditional activities, relative to the total number of households in the project area. The definition of Comments: what constitutes the set of potential non-traditional activities is set out in the Project Implementation Manual (PIM) and applies to activities that are expected to reduce households' vulnerability to future shocks associated with extreme weather events and climate change by diversifying livelihood activities and increasing the resilience of natural (i.e. land) resources. The target value reflects a household adoption rate of 30 percent.

This is based on a survey administered to households in the project watersheds. The survey instrument is comprised of small number of questions (approx. 15-25), which will measure the extent to which the project reflected expectations and preferences of beneficiaries in the project watersheds. Survey techniques will be used to document male and female beneficiary priorities at project outset. Surveys Comments: during and at the close of the project may identify respondents’ satisfaction with project investments, including a specific question about the degree to which respondents felt project activities reflected their preferences (ex post). The survey will include the following question: “How satisfied are you that the project activities associated with RLLP is useful to you? [scale 1-5 representing very unsatisfied to very satisfied, with a score of “3” representing neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.]”. The indicator will record the percentage of men and women reporting scores of 4 or 5 in response to this question. IN01087750 IR 1a.

Targeted major watersheds with Multi-Year Development Plan 100% implemented (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 47.00 Date 03-May-2021 15-Jun-2021 15-Jun-2021 30-Apr-2026 The Multi-Year Development Plan (MYDP) defines the SLM activities that will be undertaken by the Project to treat each target watershed. At the start of RLLP, 90 MYDPs have been approved for the SLMPII watersheds, and all are more than halfway completed. By the end of Project, it is expected that MYDPs will have been approved and completed for all SLMP-2 watersheds, plus 17 new RLLP watersheds. This indicator measures the number of watersheds in the project area for which an MYDP has been approved by the Woreda or regional SLMP coordination platform and fully implemented. In a Comments: given major watershed, the MYDP is a collection of multi-year plans for each micro-watershed targeted by the project. The MYDP includes baseline data, basemaps, and detailed information on the activities and interventions prescribed to stabilize each of the targeted micro-watersheds (with timelines and budgets). Each activity within a MYDP is assigned an associated activity area. Percent completion of each MYDP is measured as the sum of the activity areas of completed activities, relative to the total activity area of all the activities included in the MYDP. Note that the sum of the activity areas included in a MYDP is less than the total area of the micro watersheds that will be considered treated when the MYDP is completed. IN01087755 IR 2a.

Limiting or completely restricting livestock to these areas improves the resilience by increasing absorptive and adaptive capacity of the lands treated and, Comments: when complemented with other improved management practices like cut-and-carry, increases productivity and potential for generating additional income. IN01087758 ►IR 4. Land users adopting sustainable land management practices as a result of the project (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 99,400.00 Date 03-May-2021 15-Jun-2021 15-Jun-2021 30-Apr-2026 This indicator measures the share of users adopting sustainable land management practices in the project areas. Access to and adoption of climate-adapted agricultural practices/ technologies improves resilience to climate change by increasing absorptive and adaptive capacity as well transformative capacity when these new practices result in a fundamental change in how land resources are used and managed. Adoption refers to change of practice or change in the use of a technology promoted or introduced by the project. Admissible land management and improved technologies refers to a range of locally appropriate physical activities such as soil and water conservation (SWC), agroforestry, and/or climate-smart agriculture (CSA) that are supported by RLLP via extension support or financing. These packages are listed in the Community-based Participatory Watershed Management Guidelines, CSA Field Manual, Comments: Project Implementation Manual, and other project documentation. Access to and adoption of climate- adapted agricultural practices/ technologies improves resilience to climate change. Land users are based on the number of adult individuals within the household who are considered to be land users. In married/joint households where both the wife and husband are engaged in livelihood activities using land both individuals can contribute to the total number of users. Users of both individually and communally held land is permissible. This indicator is tracked as part of the stakeholder/beneficiary survey. For PROGREEN reporting this indicator is equivalent to ‘Land-users adopting new practices in targeted landscapes’. The target for PROGREEN watersheds is 9,000 and reflects a 40% adoption rate among the estimated 22,500 land users. IN01087760 IR 4a.

Through these groups communities management of watershed resources are improved and opportunities for new, non-traditional activities are promoted. Improved community ownership and management of land resources combined with greater livelihood alternatives increases resilience by developing adaptive and transformative Comments: capacity. Groups covered under this indicator include, but are not limited to, community coordination platforms such as local watershed teams, watershed user associations, water user associations and different self-help groups for such activities as poultry promotion, shoat fattening, and apiculture promotion. “Established” refers to a documented list of individuals and positions, and by-laws. “Functional” refers to the level of activity as evidenced by minutes and other documentation.

The associated activities increases opportunities for diversifying livelihood and increasing resilience as a result by developing adaptive capacity as well as having a transformative impact through greater access to non- traditional livelihood strategies. Activities include, but are not limited to, apiculture promotion, poultry production, fattening, fruits, vegetables and cash crops as well as those individuals who are involved in the production and marketing of improved cook stoves. This indicator treats individuals under this indicator equally whether undertaking activities on their own or as part of a group, in which case the number of Comments: active group participants contributes to the total. In some instances individuals may engage in or belong to one or more groups involved with project-supported income generating activities but should be counted only once. This indicator is tracked as part of the stakeholder/beneficiary survey. For PROGREEN reporting sub-indicator 6a corresponds to ‘Women and youth with increased benefits from landscape- based value chains’. The target for PROGREEN watersheds is 3,700 and reflects women being targeted at a higher rate, 55%, among individuals participating in income-generating activities (the target for PROGREEN watersheds in the parent indicator is 6,800).

To help ensure the sustainability of the SLM interventions, the Project will provide support for the creation of Community Comments: Watershed Users’ Cooperative Societies (CWUCSs) in each graduating watershed, to replace the project- based Community Watershed Teams (CWTs) and Kebele Watershed Teams (KWTs) with legally recognized institution for the ongoing planning and management of the watershed. This indicator measures the number of such CWUCSs legally formed for Project watersheds. Watershed Management 6/29/2022 Page 7 of 11 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Second Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project (P174385) and Use Plans (WMUPs) agreed by CWUCSs will detail management and use for graduating watersheds, outlining agreements to conserve and utilize the resources, and establishing bylaws for managing and implementing conservation activities and the distribution of benefits. The development of these WMUPs is critical for ensuring land resources are used and managed in a way that enhances absorptive and adaptive capacity to climate change, promoting resilience broadly at the landscape level. This indicate measures the number of targeted watersheds in the Project area that have developed a WMUP approved locally by the CWUCSs, and either the Woreda or regional SLMP coordination platform IN01087751 IR 7a.

Access to relevant and up-todate information improves decision-making for planning and implementation of climate resilient strategies that are absorptive, adaptive, and transformative. The information provided by these centers includes, for example, best practices, indigenous knowledge and experience of farmers, and scientific knowledge and Comments: practices. These centers also collect and document biophysical, socio-economic, and spatial information (i.e. maps) as part of a comprehensive database to track changes and impacts of RLLP. These information centers are expected to be equipped with basic office furniture, computers, shelf cabinets, scanners, photocopiers, as relevant, and may provide space for reading and learning. The functionality and effectiveness of these information centers will be tracked as part of the stakeholder/beneficiary survey.

Area under sustainable forest management (Hectare(Ha), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 30,000.00 Date 03-May-2021 15-Jun-2021 15-Jun-2021 30-Apr-2026 Forests that are sustainably managed provide a steady, reliable stream of livelihood and ecosystem benefits thereby increasing absorptive capacity and enhancing landscape resilience by reducing exposure to adverse effects of climate change. In addition, enhanced benefits resulting from sustainably managed forests, including harvesting of forest products and those resulting from the protection of key habitats, further complements resilience through adaptive means. This is achieved through Participatory Forest Management (PFM) whereby local communities enter into an agreement with the state to manage, protect, and utilize forests sustainably. PFM is a forest management system to protect forests and enhance the livelihoods of communities who use and benefit from them. The PFM approach entails three distinct phases: i) investigating phase to gather of information about the resources in the forest, develop an understanding about the forest users and other stakeholders, the establishment of an appropriate forest management group, and assessment and mapping of forest resources; ii) negotiating phase involves the negotiation and signing of forest management plans (detailing forest management activities), Comments: the negotiation and signing of forest management agreements (specifying roles, responsibilities and rules); and iii) implementing PFM addresses the implementation of the forest management plan, and adherence to the forest management agreement by the community forest management group, supported by government, joint plan and agreement reviews and revision as part of monitoring and evaluation systems. This indicator measures the forest land area, which, as a result of the project, has been brought under sustainable forest management following PFM approach. To count towards achievement, the formal agreement with the state (i.e. relevant local, regional, or federal government authority) and local community must be registered and management plan prepared in accordance with PFM approach. Having met these requirements, the area covered by the management plan may be counted towards achievement. This is a PROGREEN indicator and reporting against this is applicable only for watersheds supported by the PROGREEN additional financing. No further disaggregation is required since protected areas or privately owned lands will not be targeted and PFM does not generally cover restoration on degraded land. IN01087765 ►IR 17.

Protecting these key habitats is crucial to ensure resilience is preserved, and ideally enhanced, to limit exposure to future shocks as a result of climate change. Ethiopia has 12 key habitats: Desert and Semi Desert Scrubland; Acacia-Commiphora Woodland; Wooded grassland of the western Gambella Region, Combretum- Terminalia Woodland and wooded grassland, Dry Evergreen Afromontane Forest and Grassland Complex, Moist Evergreen Afromontane Forest, Transitional rainforest, Ericeous bel, Aforalpine belt, Riverine forest, Freshwater lakes, lake shores, marsh and floodplain vegetation, Salt lakes, salt-lake shores, marsh and pan vegetation. (Source: Friis, I., Demissew, S., & van Breugel, P. (2011). Atlas of the Comments: Potential Vegetation of Ethiopia. Addis Ababa: Addis Ababa University Press & Shama Books). This indicator captures the number of key habitats protected resulting from areas being brought under sustainable forest management in accordance with the PFM approach. Recognizing any one key habitat may span several major watersheds and involve multiple micro watersheds, the protection of a given key habitat might involve a number of agreements and management plans from communities implementing PFM approach. For a key habitat to be considered ‘protected’ and counted towards achievement, communities with registered agreements and approved plans must cover the majority of that key habitat’s area targeted under sustainable forest management (IR16). This is a PROGREEN indicator and reporting against this is applicable only for watersheds supported by the PROGREEN additional financing.
