FARA had provided updates on achievement of results against unofficially revised indicators, and these indicators were included in the December 2016 ISR, to ensure that FARA received recognition for the results that they were achieving at the time that they were being achieved. This ISR is being submitted now to ensure that only the Bank approved results framework (December 2013) is captured in the system. The results framework will be updated again, once the Bank has approved the restructuring package that is currently under review. 4/23/2018 Page 2 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) Trust Fund (P112684) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Low  Low Macroeconomic  --  Low  Low Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Low  Low Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Substantial  Substantial Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Substantial  Substantial Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Moderate  Moderate Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  (MTOP II - PDO 1) Increase in number of individuals, groups, organizations directly affected or reached by FARA interventions.
