Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Component Name Component Cost Improving the Water Service Supporting farmers 4.45 Supporting Implementing Agencies 5.00 Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Implementation Status Overview In the first semester of 2014, project implementation progress has remained satisfactory. The project is on track to meet its development objective before its closing date. As of April 30, 2014, combined technical and financial ratios, as recorded in the M&E system, show overall implementation ratios of 50% for Haouz, 43% for Doukkala and 70% for Tadla. Payment levels have sharply increased. As of April 30, 2014, they reached 43% of commitment levels in Haouz, 30% for Doukkala and 55% for Tadla. Page 1 of 6

2 Progress for the construction of the network infrastructure (Component 1 of the project) is satisfactory. The provision of drip irrigation service could start in September 2014 in two sectors of Tadla and one sector in Doukkala. Implementation of remaining works in other sectors is on track. Last contracts to be procured for works and equipment of remaining sectors are being launched, essentially irrigation outlets construction and connection pipes and equipment. The implementation of activities under component 2, which consists in supporting the implementation agencies support farmers for access to new technologies, markets and financing, has progressed significantly. The relevant TA in each irrigation perimeter focus on supporting farmers in maturing their farming project, encouraging them to structure themselves in associations and to help them prepare the necessary documents to obtain the subsidies from the Fond de Développement Agricole to equip their land with the onfarm irrigation systems. All efforts are being made to minimize the time lag between the date the pressure irrigation networks can be put into operations and the time when farmers can receive the on-farm drip irrigation equipment and convert into drip irrigation, while ensuring that the farmers associations are in the driver's seat of all that concern farm strategy and equipment purchasing. The implementation of activities under Component 3 needs special attention. Environmental baselines have been completed. Environmental monitoring and aquifer water abstraction information gathering is now a high priority, especially in sectors where the modernized irrigation service provision is soon expected to start. Monitoring and evaluation and financial monitoring systems established are operational and give valuable information on the physical and financial progress under the project. With respect to the financial situation, overall Loan disbursement levels in April 2014 reached 42.5% of the loan amount. All implementing agencies have brought or maintained the percentage of disbursement close to the maximum percentage of payments. Nevertheless, an effort needs to be made to accelerate invoice receipt and payment, in order to bring payment levels closer to physical implementation levels.
