Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Component 1: Water Management Planning and Efficient Utilization 10.33 Component 2: Improvement and Rehabilitation of Water Resources Infrastructure 128.93 Component 3: Rural Water Supply and Sanitation 32.98 Component 4: Project Management and Implementation Support 6.00 Public Disclosure Copy Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Implementation Status Overview 1. The project implementation continues to picking up speed in all components of the project. Activities on institutional and water productivity component e.g. Component 1 have started, after severe delay in the first year of implementation. Most of TORs was prepared and reviewed by MARD and the Bank task team. Procurement process has started for most critical activities such as preparation of provincial water resources management and investment plans taking into consideration the impact of climate change and upstreaming Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR15338 development, irrigation O&M study, pilot schemes towards improved water productivity at farm level. Construction of irrigation infrastructure under component 2 is progressing on schedule. However, the issue of counterpart fund for year 2014 has not been fully solved in the three provinces of Ca Mau (required VND40 billion), Soc Trang (VND30 billion) and Bac Lieu (VND16 billion) in implementing infrastructure under Component 2; The lack of counterpart fund is not affecting the current construction progress as all warded contracts are already have site cleared. Construction of rural water supply schemes under Component 3 is progressing satisfactorily with 70%-90% completion as of May-2014 and will be fully Public Disclosure Copy completed by end-2014. Project management has been improved with appointment of a full-time Deputy Director in the CanTho-based CPMU and key staff were recruited. M&E contract is in the final stage of selection and contract signing is expected to be in the next 2 months. Disbursement has increased and will reach about US$50 million by end-June 2014. This explains why the implementation performance of the project is upgraded to be rated MS. The upcoming MTR mission, however, will take a hard look on the issue of counterpart fund and will discuss with relevant provincial authorities to find immediate solutions to resolve the issue soonest so that all RAPs shall be fully implemented satisfactorily without any delay. 2. The implementation of the sanitation subcomponent is progressing slowly due to lack of detailed preparation on implementation formality and procedure at appraisal. Many time and efforts spent to date to standardized the implementation procedures and requirements. TOR for the TA firm to support rural sanitation marketing has been prepared and cleared by the Bank and its procurement process has already started. Several other TORs on baseline data collection and national consultant to support the implementation of this subcomponent are being formulated.
