The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) and both implementing agencies, the Departmental River Basin Service of Cochabamba (SDC for its acronym in Spanish) and the National Fund for Productive and Social Investment (FPS for its acronym in Spanish) are conscientiously implementing the detailed action plans to accelerate project implementation and expedite disbursements, agreed upon at the beginning of the mid-term review in September 2018 and updated during the supervision mission in March and October 2019. 12/30/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bolivia Climate Resilience - Integrated Basin Management (P129640) Under component A (Strengthening National Capacity for Climate Change) the project is continuing with the implementation of the National Climate and Water Information System. In total, already 42 hydro meteorological observation stations have been installed throughout the country. With the support of the project, MMAyA and SENAMHI created a center for the development of instruments for improving the monitoring and management of water resources and will further enhance the country’s reservoir monitoring system. Three large consulting services (development and implementation of a drought monitor and early warning system, development of protocols to better exchange and disseminate the hydro meteorological information, and the development of a method for better seasonal weather forecasts) have been published and are currently under review. Under Component B (Strengthening Capacity for Climate Change Adaptation in the Rio Grande river basin), the project is supporting the preparation of directorate river basin plans. The basin plan for the Rio Rocha, developed by the Stockholm Environmental were approved by the interinstitutional platform of the Rio Rocha basin in July 2019. Terms of references for the development of the third river basin plan (Rio Arque- Tapacari) have been formulated and will be published in the coming weeks. After the successful implementation of hydro meteorological observation networks in the Mizque Basin and in part of the Rocha Basin in close coordination between SDC and SENAMHI, the project developed concepts for observation networks in the upper part of the Rocha Basin (Valle Alto) and for the Arque-Tapacari Basin. These concepts have been approved by the World Bank and the PIU in coordination with SENAMHI, and the procurement process has been initiated. Significant progress also has been achieved under component C (Design and implementation of subprojects that improve climate resilience in the Rio Grande River Basin): Within subcomponent C1 (infrastructure projects), of the first three portfolios of infrastructure subprojects executed by FPS, to date 25 infrastructure subprojects have been completed and 23 are currently in execution. Together these 48 subprojects will invest US$ 12.6 million from the PPR credit and over US$ 4 million of counterpart funding. The 4th portfolio contains a total of 38 subprojects with a total value of USD 14.1 million, to be executed in the remaining project duration. The project is also financing pre-investment studies. The portfolio of watershed management subprojects of component C2 now includes 18 subprojects of which 2 have been completed, 15 are currently being implemented and one to be contracted shortly. These 18 subprojects together will cost US$ 8.7 million and will spend the allocated US$ 6.7 million of the project’s grant.

During the last year, the project made progress in this area for example through th installation of a large number of new observation stations, and also will contract further consulting services to improve the management of the Comments: data. The methodology for the user satisfaction study has been developed and it is planned to realize the study January of 2020 and again in June of 2020 in order to measure an increase in satisfaction.
