2 C 1. The overall status of the Project is upgraded to satisfactory (5), based on the implementation progress achieved since the last ISR was filed. Progress toward the achievement of the Project Development Objectives (PDO) is satisfactory. The 211 target yields have been achieved at levels of 14 percent for rice (target: 6.1 tons per ha, result: 6.37 tons per ha) and 13 percent for maize (target: 2. tons per ha, result: 2.6 tons per ha). In addition, livestock production has improved under financed sub-projects: (i) average pig live weight: final target: 35 kg, result: kg (81.8 percent); (ii) average poultry live weight: final target: 1 kg/m2, result: 62.5 kg/m2 (62.5 percent); and (iii) average annual egg production: target: 28 eggs per hen, result: 312 eggs per hen (111 percent) Significant progress has been achieved since the last supervision mission: (i) agreements have been signed for 589 sub-projects (SPs), of which 441 are under implementation U (compared to 229 SPs under implementation in July 211); (ii) Producer Organizations (POs) have made good progress in establishing 22 commercial partnerships (CPs) through -6 marketing contracts with suppliers and buyers (compared to 119 CPs established in July 211); (iii) contracts have been awarded for (a) rehabilitation of 5 km of rural roads, and (b). preliminary studies concerning the rehabilitation of 1,5 ha in irrigated perimeters in the SEMRY area and of 1, ha in irrigated perimeters in the Upper Nun Valley Development Authority (UNVDA) area. Also, many key technical studies have been completed. 3. The forum focusing on access to rural finance was held on September 6-7, 211 and recommended practical solutions to the problem of lack of access to finance for rural producers. Accomplishments of the forum included the signing of a convention between the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) and rural finance institutions that are present in areas covered by the Project to facilitate establishment of partnerships between rural finance institutions and producer organizations (POs).
