PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE, PROJECT MONITORING INDICATORS, AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT Karnataka Watershed Development Project – II Implementation Support Mission and Partner Summit October 6-11, 2013
Project Status • Preparation – January 2011 to June 2012 (18 months) • Negotiations – July 2012 (19 months) • Board Approval - September 2012 (21 months) • Loan Signing – February 2013 (26 months) • Effectiveness – May 2013 (29 months) • Implementation Support (From May 2013 to 2018) What does this mean? • Project took far longer than average for Board approval and effectiveness • Project disbursements are already behind estimates in PAD at Board approval • Senior management is following implementation progress carefully
Project Development Objective • The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to: Demonstratemore effective watershed management through greater integration of programs related to rainfed agriculture, innovative and science based approaches, and strengthened institutions and capacities. Importance? • At closure, Bank will gauge project success against the PDO using higher level and several intermediate level indicators • We need to ensure good M&E system is in place to deliver information on these indicators on a regular basis
Key Performance Indicators • Indicator One: New science based approaches and tools adopted into wider watershed operations (innovation) • Indicator Two: Improved M&E capability in WDD (strengthened institutions) • Indicator Three: Incremental change in agric/horticulture productivity in project areas for selected crops (watershed management) • Indicator Four: Percentage of micro-watersheds with improved convergence and integration (integration)
Implementation Support • Mandatory Bank process to review progress and support implementation • Minimum of every six months, more with problem projects • Client prepares status report ahead of mission • During mission: • Progress reviewed overall + progress in each component • FM and procurement • Disbursements and projections • Key issues and actions agreed on • Share ideas for improvement • Wrap up with client Importance? • Team must process an aide memoire, management letter (for client) and ISR (for Bank) two weeks after mission • Bank management carefully review the internal ISRs • Expect candor and well defined actions • Expect ratings to reflect disbursement patterns
Disbursements as of June 2013 Project Size: $85.7 million Assistance: $60.0 million Disbursements:
Key Points in Moving Forward • Karnataka held in high regard for watershed management • Build on work to date with implementation • Focus on procurement and getting the key partners on board - CRITICAL • Start moving with M&E as per Results Framework in PAD • Remember that projects bring flexibility in addressing PDO and implementation issues • Communication is key – Bank is there to provide support and ideas
