The Project Development Objective Level Results Indicators are: a. Improved accuracy of hydrological forecasts; b. Water storage established in rural communities; c. Water resources infrastructure investments under preparation; and, d. Water permits monitored for compliance.

2 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project is not in line to achieve its development objectives. Most of the activities under the 3 components are significantly behind schedule, with a number yet to commence. There has been very little progress against the key performance indicators and the overall disbursement rate is only 45% (about half of which is for operating and training costs) with 11 months of the Project duration remaining. The Project is scheduled to close on November 30, As determined during the mid-term review, the Project continues to face a number of risks including: a) Risks related to the severe delays in implementation of the project activities; b) Risks related to the weak capacity in procurement and contract management; c) Risks related to the weak technical capacity for dam development and hydro-meteorological systems; d) Risks related to non-compliance with environmental and social safeguards and e) Risks related to the ineffective project implementation arrangements. Following from these key risks and challenges identified above, it is evident that the remaining implementation period and budget envelope will not permit the full realization of the project activities.
