2 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Project implementation has improved significantly and all the four Project Development Objective (PDO) indicators remain achievable. The target average crop yield and the average crop intensity for tomato, potato, onion and cabbage have been exceeded, except for rice which is at 75% of the target average crop yield. Related to the development of irrigation schemes, out of the project revised target of 3,000 ha, the project is expected to complete the development of a total of 2,985 ha (99.5 percent) and hand over to beneficiaries by the end of the year. About 2,511 ha were completed by September, 2017 and 474 ha are expected to be completed by end December Related to number of beneficiaries, a total of 5,664 smallholder farmers, out of 6,000 target have benefited from the project. This number is likely to increase as the project will cover more farmers in the current season ending April In terms of implementation progress by component: Component 1- Institutional Capacity Development and Participatory Irrigation Management. The main objective of Component (1.a) is to strengthen the capacity of MASA to deliver on its core function of policy, planning and development of the regulatory framework in support to the irrigation sector, as part of the priorities defined in the irrigation strategy. Most of the critical activities have been completed. The National Irrigation Plan which was developed with support from the Project is currently under implementation and forms the basis for irrigation investments in the country. In addition, training packages and modules for different irrigation stakeholders have been prepared and delivered. Farmers have been trained and support was given to the establishment of the Water User Associations (WUAs). However, farmer s need to be more involved in the decision-making process for planning, construction and operation procedures for the schemes, which may represent a risk for the sustainability of the schemes. Sub-Component 1.b: Participatory planning, development and management of irrigation schemes: The objective of sub-component (1.b) is to promote planning, development and management of irrigation schemes based on the participation of the beneficiaries to achieve the PDO. Under sub-component (1.b), the project was designed to support comprehensive capacity development and facilitate a participatory scheme-level process for planning irrigation interventions, developing irrigated agriculture and managing water and irrigation infrastructure. This process is referred to as PROIRRI Irrigation Site Development Path. The project had pre-identified and prepared initial feasibility studies in a total of 7,293 ha covering 97 schemes of which 3,162 ha covering 32 schemes were launched for construction. Component 2- Investment in Irrigation Systems and Support Infrastructure: The objective of this component is to finance the irrigation infrastructure required to increase the productivity and profitability of irrigated smallholder agriculture while considering the environmental and social safeguards associated with the civil works. This component contributes to the PDO by increasing the irrigated area. The project has completed the construction the construction of 2,551 ha out of a total target of 3,000 ha. Additional 474 h are expected to be completed and handed over to beneficiaries by December Average unit cost for construction remains high at US$11,749/ha, compared to what was estimated at appraisal (US$ 10,000/ha), primarily driven by the design approach, the construction methods adopted by INIR, and the need for additional infrastructure such as small dams, access roads and electricity lines required to make the scheme feasible. Component 3 Cost Sharing Grant for Market-Led Production and Value Chain: The objective of this component is to provide catalytic funding for project beneficiaries in the form of cost-sharing grants, to support production and post-harvest activities. This is critical for the demonstration of the profitability and sustainability of the public investment in the irrigation schemes supported by the project. The project provides demand-driven support in the form of cost-sharing grants to farmers and value chain actors. Overall, US$0.99 million (66 percent for window-1 and 34 percent for window-2) has been disbursed up to September Out of the total amount, 41 percent has been provided for horticulture, 30 percent for rice and 29 percent for out grower crops. Window-1 grants were used to finance seeds, fertilizer and pesticides; and window-2 grants were used to finance traction animals, ploughs, tillers and other equipment, including few tractors. A major concern under this component is the limited utilization of the window 1 grants for rice production which is partly driven by the delays in the completion of the schemes. INIR has therefore decided that the remaining funds should be focused on the operationalization of the rice schemes. Component 4, Project management and Coordination. The objective of Component 4 is to coordinate and monitor the project activities and manage financial and human resources in an efficient and results-oriented manner, in accordance with the project objectives and fiduciary procedures. INIR has made significant efforts in improving project management efficiency though closer engagement of the service providers and intensified project monitoring. However, concerns remain regarding the completion of the 3 schemes under construction, the establishment and training of the WUAs for all the irrigation schemes, and development of the environment and social management plans (ESMPs) for all the irrigation schemes.
