Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Innovation Development Plans for Strengthening Natural and Non-Natural Resource-Based Productive and Marketing Capacity:(Cost $26.50 M) Strengthening service provision for sustainable production, food security, and nutrition:(Cost $4.10 M) Project management, monitoring and evaluation:(Cost $3.30 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions Five years into the project duration, 14,826 beneficiaries (surpassing the end target of 14,000) are implementing Innovation Development Plans (IDP); 8,395 of those beneficiaries are adopting at least one improved agricultural technology (4,010 of the beneficiaries are female, surpassing the end target of 1,600). The average agricultural productivity increase (i.e. yields per area of main crops supported by the project) has reached 65 percent, far surpassing the end target of 10 percent. The Dietary Diversity Score (or the percentage of women and children of beneficiary families including at least 7 different nutritional food groups in their diets) is currently 87 percent, surpassing the end target of 80 percent. The project has committed and almost completed disbursements of all the funds available to finance 58 IDPs. The project is scheduled to close in December 30, 2019. 11/11/2019 Page 1 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report NI Caribbean Coast Food Security Project (P148809) 11/11/2019 Page 2 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report NI Caribbean Coast Food Security Project (P148809) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High High High Macroeconomic Moderate Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Substantial Substantial Technical Design of Project or Program High High High Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability High High High Fiduciary High High High Environment and Social Substantial Substantial Substantial 11/11/2019 Page 3 of 8 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report NI Caribbean Coast Food Security Project (P148809) Stakeholders Substantial Substantial Substantial Other -- -- -- Overall High High High Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To enhance food and nutritional security in selected communities of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua IN00760492 ►Clients who have adopted an improved agr. technology promoted by the project (Number, Corporate) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 3,464.00 8,395.00 8,000.00 Date 25-Nov-2014 15-Feb-2019 25-Oct-2019 30-Dec-2019 IN00760493 Clients who adopted an improved agr. technology promoted by project – female (Number, Custom Breakdown) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 1,496.00 4,019.00 1,600.00 Date 25-Nov-2014 15-Feb-2019 25-Oct-2019 30-Dec-2019 IN00760494 ►Increased agricultural/livestock productivity among all direct beneficiaries (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 47.00 64.97 10.00 Date 25-Nov-2014 06-Mar-2019 25-Oct-2019 30-Dec-2019 This 64.97 percent increase, much higher than expected, results from the fact that productivity figures without project support were much lower than expected, with the lowest agricultural productivity in Comments: Nicaragua observed in the Caribbean Region. The technologies adopted under the IDPs have therefore allowed for this substantial increase in average productivity.
