It confirmed that the PDO remains achievable. The implementation has made some progress with around 87% of the project budget disbursed. For most of the Result Framework’s indicators, including key outcomes, final targets are already attained or about to be – although this will need to be confirmed by the Matching Grant Program (MGP) Impact Assessment being finalized (report expected by December 15, 2017) and the Market Survey data cleaning and analysis (report expected by mid-February 2018). 262 MGP's beneficiaries have fully completed their investments out of a total of 740 signed grant agreements. The MAF poultry unit has been finalized, and the piggery is close to completion. Good progress has been made with the market linkages program for fruit and vegetable farmers, and on Farmer Field Schools for crops. However, two major activities have experienced important implementation delays: (i) the construction of the Static Slaughter Unit (SSU), and (ii) the finalization of the remaining 425 MGP sub-projects still in progress (a high number, even if representing only a small share of the MGP budget). These two activities could not be completed by the current project closing date of March 31, 2018 and discussion were held with both Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Agriculture and Fishery about extending the closing date, which was found acceptable.
