Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project?

The implementation of the project has been extended by almost two years in order to achieve the objectives before an extended project closing date of November 30, 2013. Under Component 1, rehabilitation works have been delayed due to the 2010 events in the south, under-resourced contractors and shortcomings in procurement and the construction Public Disclosure Copy planning/supervision process. Thirteen schemes have been completed, and 6 schemes are scheduled to be completed by November 30, 2013. Under Component 2, the implementation of the Water Code was constrained by the fact that the Government had not convened the National Water Council (NWC) to give essential policy guidance on the institutional organization of the water sector. It was expected in April 2012 that this would be resolved with the new Government in place, and a date for convening the NWC had been set, but changes at the ministerial level in September 2012 delayed the NWC meeting. The NWC convened at last in February 2013 and adopted a comprehensive road map for further development of the water sector and implementation of the Water Code. The project is currently supporting the Government with identifying and preparing the technical assistance required for implementation of this roadmap. In June 2013, the project was restructured to make some of the target outcomes of the project more realistic and in line with actual implementation progress. Under Component 3 good progress has been made. Most notably, equipment to manage and maintain irrigation systems managed by WUA Federations (including both off-farm and on-farm infrastructure) has been purchased and transferred to the Federations, and is currently being used for system maintenance.
