This would be achieved by: (a) deepening and broadening the institutional reforms that are already underway in Sindh; (b) improving the irrigation system in a systematic way covering key hydraulic infrastructure, main and branch canals, and distributaries and minors; and (c) enhancing long-term sustainability o f irrigation system through participatory irrigation management and developing institutions for improving operation and maintenance of the system and cost recovery. The improved water management would lead to increased agricultural production, employment and incomes over some about 1.8 million ha or more than 30 percent o f the irrigated area in Sindh, and one of the poorest regions o f the country.

The Implementation Progress rating is maintained at Satisfactory. The implementation progress under various components is as following: Public Disclosure Copy 1. The contracts NC-01 and NC-02 (US$75 million and US$27 respectively) for remodeling of Nara Canal are under full implementation. The contract B1/NC-1 has almost been completed and is under process of finalization, whereas the progress on other contract B1/NC-2 is 34%. 2. Of the total 101 distributaries, 85 are completed and transferred to the Farmers Organizations (FOs). Completion of remaining distributaries is on track. 3. With the completion of the design studies for rehabilitation of the Guddu Barrage, the project preparation has started. The consultants are working on the revision of Environment and Social Assessment Study Report as per the observations of Bank's safeguards mission that visited the project area in June 2013. 4. The design study for rehabilitation/modernization of Sukkur Barrage has also been completed. The final report is to be submitted by March, 2014 based on the result of physical modeling of barrage which is under way. 5. A regional master plan study to deal with floods and drainage issues has been completed by the consultants and proposed short term and longterm sustainable measures and solutions for improvement of floods and drainage issues on left side of Indus River including LBOD system. The report is under review and consideration of Government of Sindh for further implementation on the recommendation of study. 6. The national and international trainings on different subject topics are under way to build capacity of newly appointed project staff as well as staff of project partners. So-far, 60 officials of SIDA, AWBs, Irrigation, Department, P&D and Finance Department have attended trainings at abroad at different training institutions. In addition 23 short courses/trainings also arranged at local/national level at Karachi/Islamabad/Hyderabad, wherein 95 participants attended. 100% of the credit amount is committed and to date 73.14% of the IDA funds have been disbursed. The FM rating is upgraded to Moderately Satisfactory as the ineligible expenditures of PKR 152 M made from Designated Account are resolved. Also, the acceptable Project Audited Financial Statements for FY12 are also received. The outstanding SIDA audited financial statements (AFSs) for FY12 got approved from the SIDA Board and has been provided to the World Bank. The performance review of the newly recruited Managing Director SIDA and Directors for three Area Water Boards (AWBs) continue to show satisfactory performance and downward accountability towards Farmer Organizations in the project Area Water Boards. This is to reiterate that recruitment of these positions have been done through competitive process instead of posting staff from the Irrigation Department. This remains a significant achievement of the project that directly contributes towards institutional reforms of the irrigation and drainage sector and implementation of Sindh Water Management Ordinance 2002 (SWMO-02). Following, GoSindh's request through EAD for an Additional Financing project for US$ 160 million, the GoPakistan approved the PC1 on October 1, 2013. The approval of PC-I from ECNEC is expected during December 2013. The Bank team will undertake appraisal mission in January.
