The implementation of the project has been too slow to achieve the objectives before the project closing date of December 31, 2012. Under Component 1, rehabilitation works have been delayed due to the 2010 events in the south, under-resourced contractors and shortcomings in the construction planning/supervision process. Therefore, the project has been Public Disclosure Copy extend till November 2013 to finalize the civil works at at 6 schemes. Thirteen schemes have been completed. Under Component 2, the implementation of the Water Code was constrained by the fact that the Government had not convened the National Water Council (NWC) to give essential policy guidance on the institutional organization of the water sector. It was expected in April 2012 that this would be resolved with the new Government in place, and a date for convening the NWC had been set, but changes at the ministerial level in September 2012 delayed the NWC meeting. The NWC convened at last in February 2013 and adopted a comprehensive road map for further development of the water sector and implementation of the Water Code. Under Component 3 good progress has been made. Most notably, equipment to manage and maintain irrigation systems managed by WUA Federations (including both off-farm and on-farm infrastructure) has been purchased and transferred to the Federations, and is currently being used for system maintenance.
