Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Climate Resilient Agriculture 87.70 Markets and Value Chains 33.80 Farmers Organizations and Capacity Building 25.50 Project Management and M&E 19.50 Public Disclosure Copy Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Implementation Status Overview RACP is developing and implementing large scale pilots, for demonstrating integrated planning of water resources (in three different hydrological scenarios – viz., groundwater aquifer, watershed and canal water system) in conjunction with productivity improvement and comprehensive development of value chain. RACP, being one of its kind multi-sectoral interventions, is conceptually demanding and operationally challenging. The aim of the project is to help farmers get more rupees per unit of water in compensation for farmers using Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Report No: ISR15650 fewer units of water. Though RACP was approved by the World Bank Board in March 2012 and the credit became effective in early July 2012 the core management functionality of the RACP, which the Bank was led to understand to be fully in place, was significantly eroded, post project approval. The Project has also seen very frequent change of the Project Director, Chief Financial Controller and other senior officers of the Project Management Unit. Without a fully functional project management unit during the initial project period and with frequent change of the Project Director and key project staff, implementation has suffered and the progress has been very slow. So far, the project has utilized only US$ 717, 000 Public Disclosure Copy of the IDA Credit (0.6%), in contrast to the original plan of US$ 9.00 million. This has led to a disbursement lag of 21 months. This is a reflection of works not being initiated on the various project components, and it translates into delayed or lost benefits to the intended farmer beneficiaries. Given this background and progress thus far, all ratings for RACP, except for financial management, are downgraded to moderately unsatisfactory. Without a substantial turn around in implementation, there is a risk of further downward revision in some or all performance ratings.
