Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Environmentally Friendly Crop Production:(Cost $51.66 M) Livestock Waste Management (LWM):(Cost $125.80 M) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Capacity Development and Knowledge Management (KM):(Cost $16.14 M) Project Management:(Cost $10.69 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The objective of the project is to reduce water pollutant releases from crop and livestock production in selected areas of Guangdong Province. Despite the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic the project implementation progressed reasonably well. The most affected project activities included civil works, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and training and capacity building. 6/25/2020 Page 1 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report China Guangdong Agricultural Pollution Control (P127775) Component 1 – Environmentally Friendly Crop Production. The M&E report shows that the average rice yield in 2019 was 390.93 kg/mu compared to (383.01 kg/mu) achieved in 2018. Compared with the baseline data the chemical fertilizer and pesticide use by farmer households in the project areas were reduced by 30.9 percent and 30.6 percent, respectively. The cost for fertilizers and pesticide in project areas was reduced by 18.49 percent and 16.71 percent, respectively, with the total cost reduction standing at 35.2 percent. Even after the removing or reducing subsides for crop-specific compound and slow release compound fertilizers in 2019, there were still 68.79 percent of farmers from the first six original project counties and 97.69 percent farmers from the four newly added project counties (added at mid-term review) who continued to use the project recommended environmentally friendly fertilizers. The total area under conservation agriculture (CA) in 2019 was 17,520 mu of which 15,110 mu (86.2 percent) were operated in reduced tillage, while 2,410 mu (13.8 percent) were operated in no-till rice production systems. In total the sweet corn area under CA in 2019 was 3,145 mu of which 2,500 mu (80 percent) were under reduced tillage, while 645 mu (20 percent) were operated in no-till sweet corn production systems. Monitoring data for 2020 were not available due to disruptions related to COVID-19 pandemic. Component 2 – Livestock Waste Management. The mission noted some implementation progress, albeit still significantly lagging behind Component 1. The PPMO developed a one-farm-one-approach under the technical guidance of its team of experts. As a result, the implementation of Livestock Waste Management (LWM) activities picked up: 14 projects resumed civil works, five new projects were started, 23 projects were completed, and 28 projects were accepted during the period under review. By end of December 2019, the number of completed LWM projects has reached 108, accounting for 81.82 percent of the total LWM projects, and the 75 projects accepted have been accepted, accounting for 56.82 percent of the total number of LWM projects. Monitoring data for 2020 were not available due to disruptions related to COVID-19 pandemic. Performance Ratings. Given the modest implementation progress since the last ISM held in October 2019, which was mainly due to the lockdown and travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation progress (IP) and the progress towards achieving the PDO retain their Moderately Satisfactory (MS) ratings. mpaTable Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Status mpaTableBody Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic -- Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies -- Low Low Technical Design of Project or Program -- Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and -- Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary -- Moderate Moderate Environment and Social -- Substantial Substantial Stakeholders -- Moderate Moderate Other -- Moderate Moderate Overall -- Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes 6/25/2020 Page 2 of 6 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report China Guangdong Agricultural Pollution Control (P127775) reduce water pollutant releases from crop and livestock production IN00859718 ►Mass of COD pollution load reduction achieved under the project (Tones/year, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 20,009.52 20,395.00 45,000.00 Date 01-May-2013 30-Jun-2019 31-Dec-2019 30-Jun-2021 IN00859719 ►Nutrient load reduction (nitrogen- ammonia) achieved under the project (Tones/year, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 2,117.05 2,243.00 5,000.00 Date 01-May-2013 31-Dec-2018 31-Dec-2019 30-Jun-2021 Intermediate Results Indicators by Components Environmentally Friendly Crop Production IN00859720 ►WHO Class II pesticide residue compliance rates (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 90.00 99.13 99.66 96.00 Date 01-May-2013 30-Jun-2019 31-Dec-2019 30-Jun-2021 No updated data in this ISR.
