The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) within SAyDS continues its efforts to implement an innovative approach to forest management in Argentina and has established a consistent approach for the formulation of community forest management plans (PIC), gradually reducing the time required to formulate such plans with the communities. To date, communities of Salta, Chaco and Santiago del Estero provinces are involved in the project at different stages of development of the 100 PICs (14 of which have already been approved by the provincial 3/28/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Forests and Community (P132846) environmental authorities). This continues to be remarkable, given how novel the PIC approach is in the country, and given that target communities are amongst the poorest in the country. Now that a critical mass of PICs has been approved the pace of implementation is expected to speed up. Project Restructuring. The Project’s expenditure capacity for calendar year 2019 has been capped at around US$3.5 million by the Project’s budget allocation approved by the National Congress in late 2018. Moreover, even in a better financing scenario, the Mid Term Review conducted in September 2018 confirmed that the Project Development Objective (PDO) indicators’ targets set during preparation remain largely out of reach. With these constraints in mind, the PIU has been working on a project restructuring plan to ensure the PDO is achievable and targets are set at appropriate levels. Building on an analysis of the Project’s theory of change, high and low priority activities were identified to maintain the Project’s relevance. Key elements of the expected Project restructuring include: (a) focus investments on the 100 communities already identified to date by the project; (b) strengthen dialogue with Provinces in order to integrate the PIC instrument into Provincial level forest law procedures and financing; (c) scale down less relevant activities related to communication and training.
