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 IRRIGATION MODERNIZATION DAM SAFETY MANAGEMENT THU BON BASIN DEVELOPMENT 2.60 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND CAPACITY BUILDING 8.70 Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Low Low Implementation Status Overview The project is achieving its objectives though the following major achievements: The original conveyance capacity of the project irrigation schemes has been restored through rehabilitation of the critical canals identified during appraisal. The rehabilitation works include canal lining to reduce seepage losses, and installation of additional control structures such as cross-regulators and long rested weirs to enable more timely water Page 1 of 7

2 delivery management. Ten medium size dams have been fully rehabilitated and improved for safety through improvement works. Works have included slope protection both upstream and downstream of the main dams and all auxiliary dams, concrete grouting to reduce seepage, rehabilitation and expansion of existing spillways, construction of emergency fuse-plug spillways and installation of safety monitoring devices. Irrigation modernization guidelines and dam safety technical manual have been prepared. It is expected that these guidelines and manuals would be shortly approved by the MARD. SCADA systems are being installed and put into operation in 5 schemes under the project. This instrument will help operational staff and managers of irrigation management companies to monitor and operate the scheme as per agreed water scheduling, while quantitative impacts would occur after the completion of the project. Establishing 66 Water Users Groups (WUGs) within the project command area and piloting irrigation management transfer (IMT) in three selected provinces to induce incentives for more efficient use of irrigation water. These pilots shall provide practical models for scaling up for the future. Completion of a master plan for the Vu Gia-Thu Bon River Basin and establishment of an inter-provincial Basin Coordination Committee covering the province of Quang Nam and the city of Danang. Preparation of two highest priority investments recommended by the Master Plan is being carried out and will be completed by the closing date. These priority investments shall be financed by other Bank-financed project named Vietnam-Managing Natural Hazards (VN-Haz) which will be effective in late this year.

3 Indicator Name Core Unit of Measure Baseline Current End Target MARD Dam Safety Unit will reduce the number of dams at risk. Irrigation Performance of 6 major irrigation systems has been improved. Text Value The baseline was established following the dam safety survey. 30-Jun-2006 Text Value Baseline of irrigation performance was established in 6 major irrigation systems in Dec-2007 the Project needs to rearrange these baselines for evaluation at the completion of the project safety works in 10 dams under the project completed Works on dam safety improvement including increase discharge capacity of spillway, protection of upstream slope from permeation, construction of fuse-plug spillway, treatment of main dam body, downstream slope protection, drainage improvement, installation of safety monitoring devices, preparation of O&M and surveillance plan, and preparation of emergency preparedness plan. bencharmaking plan is being prepared by various Irrigation Management Companies involved in the project. irrigation modernization concept has been widely disseminated in all project provinces and translated into engineering design and construction of canal control structure. However, there is still a need to continue carry out training on modernization for the operational staff of irrigation management companies so that they will operate their systems properly. Reduction of some 10 major dams at risk by the project completion. A dam safety guidelines is being finalized and adopted by MARD at the project closing. Evaluation of irrigation performance will be carried out based on the completion of the irrigation modernization works. An irrigation modernization manual is being finalized and adopted by MARD at the end of the project. Page 3 of 7

4 Restoration of river flows to Da Nang City. Text Value The historical minimum flow of Vu Gia River flowing to Da Nang City. 03-Jan-2005 river flow to Danang city was restored to the 2009-flood situation 13-May-2011 the work has been completed in The minimum flow of Vu Gia River will meet the water demand of Da Nang City. 30-Dec-2011 Establishment of WUGs Number Value May-2006 No WUG at the project startup stage 66 WUGs were established by the project 66 WUGs established and functioning Operational water user associations created Number Value and/or strengthened (number) 31-May-2006 no WUA available at the project start up stage Establishment of three pilot Water Users Associations (WUAs) in three subprojects Three WUAs are established and functioning Intermediate Results Indicators Indicator Name Core Unit of Measure Baseline Current End Target Six dams in Component 1 and at least 4 other MARD's owned dams have acceptable audits by MARD Dam Safety Unit. Improved dam safety imstrumentation for Hoa Binh reservoir. Text Value None. Rehabilitation of 10 dams included under the project was completed 03-Jan-2005 Text Value baseline data on Hoa Binh dam safety instrumentation was carried out byelectricity of Vietnam (EVN) during the project preparation phase. 03-Jan-2005 one additional work is being executed in one subproject and will be completed in one month's time. dam safety instrumentation equipment have been installed for the Hoa Binh dam. already completed All 6 dams under component 1 and other 4 MARD's dams under component 2 are fully improved their safety condition and audited by DSU. all works are completed with good result New dam safety instruments installed by end Dec-2010 already completed.

5 IMC collection area of each scheme increases to 75% of the design command area in peak irrigation season. Water user groups covering 25% of each scheme area with volumetric contracts. Two feasibility studies for water resources infrastructure in Thu Bon River basin. Text Value 20% to 61% of the design command areas are serviced by the current irrigation systems. 01-Mar-2005 water fee has been abolished by the Governent The change in irrigation fee policy has ruled out this indicator. Text Value No volumetric contract. 66 WUGs were established and service contracts were signed with IMCs, but not based on volumetric basis 01-Mar-2005 No water user group established at the project appraisal 15-Apr water user groups have been established in 6 irrigation schemes under the project. These 66 WUGs cover 20% of the total project command area. Text Value None. Two studies for priority investment are being finalized Basin Coordination Committee established. Text Value No basin coordination committee. 75% of the design command area served by the improved schemes. 31-Dec-2011 A new indicator would be command area served by improved schemes with certificate issued by local communities. Volumetric contracts formulated by year 4, implemented in pilot areas by year 5, and implemented in 25% of each scheme by year Dec-2011 Volumetric contract is replaced by service contract as no measuring device installed in any off-take of tertiary/on-farm canals. Feasibility studies underway by year 5, FSs approved and finance sources identifies by year Mar-2005 Two feasibility studies shall be approved by MARD at the project completion 01-Mar-2005 A basin coordination committee has been established in 2007 IDA discussed with GoV agencies a proposal to delegate MARD to be responsible for preparation of feasibility studies for priority Established by year 3, biannual report-1 by year 5, and bi-annual report-2 by year Dec-2011 The DCA has been amended to allow MARD to be responsible for carrying out feasibility studies for two Page 5 of 7
