KEY ISSUES & STATUS 3.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions This is a third implementation status report (ISR) for the Green Agricultural and Rural Revitalization Program for Results (Hubei and Hunan). The Program was approved by the Executive Directors of the Board of the Bank on April 28, 2023. Following the reorganization of central government departments and semi-autonomous agencies the functions of the National Rural Revitalization Administration (NRRA) have been moved to the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA). The International Poverty Alleviation Center in China (IPRCC), which is under the Department of International Cooperation of MARA will become the executing agency of the Program. The IPRCC is revising the Feasibility Study Report (FSR) and the Foreign Capital Utilization Report (FCUR) and will resubmit to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) for review and clearance.
