Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Support for Intensification of On-Farm Production:(Cost $85.00 M) Component 2: Value Addition and Market Access:(Cost $45.00 M) Component 3: Policy, Regulatory and Institutional Support:(Cost $10.00 M) Component 4: Coordination and Management, and ICT Platform:(Cost $10.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions Following the project restructuring, approved in July 2018, the project made reasonable progress in the implementation of all four components. E- voucher schemes have also been successfully launched in one of the five pilot districts and have been rolled out to the rest of the four pilot districts as planned. Engagement with members of Farmer Organizations (FOs) commenced on February 11, 2019, and is ongoing, in all pilot clusters (pilot districts and 13 rollout districts). The overall operating environment for the e-voucher system has also been greatly improved on many fronts. Integration of the e-Voucher Management System (EVMS) with Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) e-tagging system was concluded. All regulatory and control 6/11/2019 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Agriculture Cluster Development Project (P145037) procedures on data access with NIRA have been resolved and payment of access fees to the NIRA database is being processed. Farmers are paying their contributions through accounts opened via agency banking. There is no transfer charge levied on participating beneficiary farmers. Although the previous challenges in the operation of e-voucher system have been resolved, the system improvement did not translate into increased use of e-vouchers by farmers. Since the launch of the e-voucher system, a total of 9,240 farmers have accessed and received agro- inputs through the e-Voucher. Considering that the total number of registered farmers is 87,272 as of May, 2019 in pilot as well as in the first roll-out districts, the e-voucher beneficiary level is well below its potential. At the PCU’s request, the e-voucher management agency has submitted a proposal to expedite the registration and redemption of e-vouchers by increasing its human resource capacity for field operations among other things, The project will assess the feasibility of such proposal and agree on the short term measures to ensure faster implementation. Meanwhile, as of May 2019, 29 input distributors have been accredited and enrolled in the e-Voucher system to provide their services through e- vouchers.
