Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Strengthen the SHS Severe Weather Forecasting Capacity 4.36 Improve Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response 2.45 Initiate Activities for Adaptation to Climate Risks in Agriculture 1.83 Project Management 0.45 Overall Ratings Public Disclosure Copy Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status Overview While the Government has made substantial and visible progress in implementing Components B (Improve Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response) and C (Initiate Activities for Adaptation to Climate Risks in Agriculture) since the mid-term review in February 2013, Component A (Strengthening SHS’s Severe Weather Forecasting Capacity) is significantly behind schedule. Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR12580 A majority of planned activities under Component A have registered only modest progress due to internal organizational issues at the State Hydro-Meteorological Service (SHS). The impending launch of the Doppler Radar system should, however, contribute to better and timelier weather forecasts. Under Component B, a number of key contracts have been successfully completed, and the remaining procurement packages are progressing well. Construction of a state-of-the-art Public Disclosure Copy Emergency Command Center (ECC) has been completed, and it is expected that the ECC will be equipped with modern IT and communication systems, and thus become fully functional, in the coming months. Under Component C, a just-in-time mobile information system is now operational and provides essential weather alerts and market information to farmers. The component has also financed 52 sub-projects for piloting integrated agricultural and agronomic technologies for adaptation to climate risks, and disseminating the experience and lessons to around 2300 farmers.
