As the project became effective recently, it is still too early to report on the progress of on-the-ground investment. A summary of achievements and key implementation issues is presented below: 6/14/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project (P163383) Component 1: About 47 million seedlings have been raised as per the PCU’s progress report. The preparation of the Multi-Year Development Plans (MYDPs) for the 17 newly included watersheds is progressing well and will be finalized before the start of on-the-ground investments in each of these watersheds. It was agreed that each project region will send plantation sites with geographic locations-coordinates. Component 2: The GIZ-funded Sustainable Use of Rehabilitated Land for Economic Development (SURED) has provided technical support in the preparation of the MYDPs. The PCU and GIZ-SURED will discuss and develop an action plan on expected technical assistance and collaboration under RLLP at a consultative meeting planned for June 6-7,2019, and will share the agreed action plan with the WB team. Status of planned Impact Evaluations (livelihoods, Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and bio-physical): The work on implementing each of the three Impact Evaluations (IEs) is progressing at different rates. The federal PCU will assign a focal person for each IE and regularly follow-up the implementation of the three IEs in a coordinated manner. In this regard, the Policy Studies Institute (PSI - former Ethiopian Development Research Institute) should take a more active role in coordinating these efforts and promote information and data sharing among the three IE teams. Component 3: The federal PCU reported that 30,845 Second Level Land Certificates (SLLCs) were issued to the households. It is also important to develop and implement the Participatory Local Level Land Use Plans (PLLUPs), which have significant contributions to the successful implementation of various development activities in targeted watersheds. Preparation of PLLUPs for all RLLP watershed kebeles will be accelerated. The Drone and Tablet piloting should be finalized by June 30, 2019. Environment and social safeguards: The updated safeguards instruments are publicly disclosed and shared with the project implementing entities at regional and woreda levels. The safeguards staffing is in place except for Oromia regional PCU, which agreed to complete recruitment before the end of June 2019. The RLLP planning, monitoring and reporting system should adequately capture the safeguards activities including the gender action plan indicators.
