This project is well on its way to becoming a flagship operation with an innovative approach to climate change adaptation and climate-smart initiatives for both national-level strategy and policy making, as well as farm-level practices - facilitated in part through “actionable data� collected and analyzed through the Climate Information Decision Support System (Component I). The project has experienced some disbursement delays since Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR10511 launch, primarily due to 1) difficulties in staffing positions in important consultancies under Component I, 2) successive procedural-related comments/revisions for the Bank's concurrence with the negotiated contract between Government of Uruguay and Columbia University (IRI)", and 3) PIU coordination issues related to being a newly formed unit within MGAP and its innovative modus operandi of managing several multi-lateral institutions’ lending operations, as well as interfacing/coordinating efforts between several Directorates within MGAP. However, these delays have been addressed during the recent mission and measures have been put in place in order to mitigate key sources of delays.
