Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

However due to implementation delays in the rural infrastructure component (farm roads and irrigation) it is too early to measure the achievement of some of the key PDO targets and indicators. One area of concern is the low level of expenditure which as of September 30, 2015 was only US$2.0 million (22.18%) of the projects US$9 million has been expensed. This is expected to increase significantly over the next 12 months as the implementation of farm roads and irrigation schemes picks up pace. 1/22/2016 Page 2 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Remote Rural Communities Development Project (P123820) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Low  Low Macroeconomic  --  Moderate  Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Low  Low Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Low  Low Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Moderate  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Substantial  Substantial Environment and Social  --  Low  Low Stakeholders  --  Low  Low Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Moderate  Moderate Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Marketed value of agricultural production increased by 20 percent in target area (Million BTN) (Number, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 110.00 -- 0.00 132.00 Date 17-Aug-2012 30-Jun-2015 23-Dec-2015 31-Dec-2017 1/22/2016 Page 3 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Remote Rural Communities Development Project (P123820) Comments Progress cannot yet be measured as only 10 out of 57 irrigation schemes have been completed.
