The first implementation support mission was timely to assess implementation readiness, and the following observations were made: 1 . There is strong collaboration and engagement with key government entities – notably Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development and Department of Nutrition, HIV and AIDS. This was mirrored at district level where the project was fully endorsed and accepted. 11/1/2018 Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Adolescent Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Pilot Project (P163923) 2 . The Japanese authorities have been appropriately consulted and engaged during the entire process of project preparation and now project implementation (including with the current mission). The implementing agency was briefed on donor visibility requirements to follow for JSDF- funded projects. 3 . The project preparatory activities are on track, notably, (i) district awareness and endorsement of project at district been done, (ii) development of procurement plan and project procurement strategy for development – and several procurement processes have been initiated (iii) development of annual project work plan and budget, (iv) initiation of the Project Steering Committee, for high level oversight and strategic direction, (v) clearance of TORs for project staff, and recruitments at an advanced stage, and (vi) opening of project accounts. The key outstanding issues for action include the following: 1 . Designated Account (DA): FUM had opened the DA at a commercial bank, instead of Reserve Bank of Malawi, as per grant agreement. This issue needs to be resolved quickly so that FUM can undertake a withdraw application of funds. Opening of DA at RBM is at advanced stage, but close follow up is needed. 2 . The annual work plan will have to be revised to reflect the priorities for the next 9 months. This will also include development of Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for the project.
