The project development objective is to increase agricultural profitability and improve equity in access to higher-quality water for up to 140,000 small-scale farmers on up to 200,000 feddans (80,000 hectares) in the command areas of Mahmoudia, Manaifa and Meet Yazid located in the Nile Delta. This would be conducted specifically in areas where upstream irrigation improvement interventions, both physical and institutional, have occurred and are fully functional. These objectives would be achieved through both structural improvements and a strengthening of farmer support services. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Component 1: Marwa and Farm-Level Irrigation Improvements (approximately US$139.3 million 139.30 excluding contingencies). Component 2: Farm-level Technology Modernization (approximately US$ 14.1 million excluding 14.10 contingencies). Public Disclosure Copy Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status Overview Since the May 2013 supervision mission, progress has been made towards moving forward with the electrification works that are necessary before marwa improvements can start. Design of the electrification works by Beheira Electric Power Distribution Company (BEPDC) has been completed in June 2013 for an area of 13,000 feddans out of the 40,000 feddans where on-farm irrigation improvement activities will be carried out as a first phase, specifically in the Mahmoudia command area (right side). However, delays in the Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Report No: ISR13876 preparation of bidding documents will delay the expected start of the electrification works from November 2013 (as planned during the previous supervision mission) to April 2014, thus causing further delays in the project implementation and disbursement. In light of these delays, the project seems unlikely to be able to achieve its targeted objective of improving 200,000 feddans by the end of the current closing date (June 30, 2016). During the December 2013 supervision mission, the Bank team raised with the client the possibility of restructuring the project to reduce the PDO targets, and associated loan size, to reflect more realistic implementation targets for the current closing date. The Minister of Agriculture Public Disclosure Copy requested the Bank team to postpone discussions about downsizing the loan until June 2014. By then, field implementation would have started and a more concrete assessment could be made based on actual implementation progress during that period.
