6 Sector: received Additional Financing during Project Targeted Research for Coral Reefs (P078034) East Asia and Pacific 23-Sep Aug May-2010 Tertiary education (95%); General agriculture, fishing and forestry sector (5%) no The objectives are to (a) align the expertise and resources of the global coral reef community around key research questions related to the resilience and vulnerability of coral reef ecosystems, and integrate the results and disseminate them in formats readily accessible to managers and decision makers; and (b) build the capacity for science-based management of coral reefs in developing countries. The project has made excellent progress toward achieving its objectives. It has coordinated world-class scientific research on key aspects of coral reef ecosystem sustainability in four regions of the world, reported the results in top journals such as Science and Nature, and enhanced global knowledge and awareness about the likely impacts of local and global threats and how best to address them. At the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, researchers supported by the project led discussions ranging from the future of reefs under climate change and increasing population pressure, to local interventions to strengthen governance, improve management, and enhance the resilience of reefs to these impacts. Manuals, atlases, guidance notes, policy briefs and decision support tools related to these themes are available on the web ( in a variety of languages. In the lead-up to the December 2009 negotiations on a new climate change treaty, the project has also influenced discussions on target thresholds for CO2 and possible tipping points for coral reef ecosystems. It has also built capacity locally at Centers of Excellence in Mexico, the Philippines and Tanzania, and has supported 50 of the best and brightest young coral reef scientists from the developing world through graduate and postdoctoral scholarships at leading universities, with mentoring by senior scientists.

8 Sector: received Additional Financing during Project 4E - Livestock Waste Management (P079610) East Asia and Pacific 21-Mar Jan Dec-2010 Animal production (69%); Central government administration (20%); Sub-national government administration (10%); Agricultural extension and research (1%) no The project development objective is to reduce the major negative environmental and health impacts of rapidly increasing concentrated livestock production on the open waters and thus on the people of East Asia. Its Global Environmental Objective is to reduce livestock-induced, landbased pollution and the environmental degradation of the South China Sea. The project is expected to yield only limited direct impact on water quality of the South China Sea because the selected demonstration areas represent negligible fractions of the total pollution load. A noticeable pollution reduction in the South China Sea catchment areas can be achieved through the replication of the demonstrated livestock waste management practices throughout the participating countries (China, Thailand, and Vietnam). A replication strategy has been tested in all three participating countries. A list of farms for replication has been selected in China. A nation-wide program to replicate livestock waste management practices through a Carbon Finance project was developed in Thailand to involve about 36 medium and large sized farms. A total of 20 farms have been selected in Vietnam as potential participants for this purpose.

12 Sector: received Additional Financing during Project KH-Rural Electrif. & Transmn (P064844) Cambodia 16-Dec May Sep-2009 Power (78%); Central government administration (14%); Renewable energy (8%) no The main development objectives of the project are to: (a) improve power sector efficiency and reliability and reduce electricity supply costs; (b) improve standards of living and foster economic growth in rural areas by expanding rural electricity supplies; and (c) strengthen electricity institutions, the regulatory framework and the enabling environment for sector commercialization and privatization. The project's global environmental objective is to overcome barriers to renewable energy development in Cambodia, including those related to lack of policy framework, financing, information and institutional capacity. Remarkable progress has been made over the last year. Construction of a double-circuit 115 kv transmission line of 14 kms is now complete, as well as the stringing of the second circuit of existing 115kV transmission lines of 23km. The newly constructed and upgraded 115 kv transmission lines will be energized in July 2009, and will soon allow an additional 100 megawatts of power to flow from Vietnam. Extension of the medium-voltage transmission lines is well underway. About 120km of medium-voltage transmission lines have been constructed to extend power to areas west of Phnom Penh and in Kampot, Takeo and Sihanoukville provinces. Extension of the rural electricity grid (off-grid), continues to progress as well. The Rural Electrification Fund is providing sub-grants to enable about 49,000 households to connect to the rural grid. Some 16,730 new households were connected as of June These achievements will improve living standards and foster economic growth in rural areas by expanding electricity supplies. Generally speaking, these achievements will help improve power supply efficiency and improve the reliability of Electricite du Cambodge (EDC). The Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC) continued to make good progress in project implementation as well as in gradually strengthening the regulatory framework. EAC had expanded the list of registered licensees to 225 as of June 2009, exceeding the project target of 180. Nine new licenses were issued during These steps will strengthen the institutional and regulatory environment to enable sustainability. Status of Projects in Execution - FY09 11

Progress toward meeting the PDO is progressing if modestly. The Ministry of Public Works and Transportation (MPWT) has established and is utilizing the Road Management System, and is increasing attention to regular periodic and routine maintenance planning and budgeting. Road safety and HIV/AIDS programs are underway. These activities should enable sustainable access to markets and essential services. The Ministry of Rural Development has been less successful in achieving its target outputs of developing improved public policy and strategies. The recent extension of the closing date will provide additional time to further build institutional capacity and build key infrastructure necessary to fully meeting the PDO.

36 Sector: received Additional Financing during Project KH-Land Management and Administration (P070875) Cambodia 26-Feb Oct Dec-2009 Central government administration (90%); Law and justice (5%); Tertiary education (3%); Other industry (2%) no The objectives are to improve land tenure security and promote the development of efficient land markets. The project has surveyed and adjudicated 1.4 million land parcels and continues to make progress toward its target of 1.55 million (approximately 90% complete with four months remaining before Credit closing). In addition 1.1 million titles have been issued to beneficiaries representing approximately 118% of the target value. The project has also made good progress in delivering expected legal and regulatory framework improvements and in strengthening capacity within the Ministry of Land Management to implement land titling activities. Canada now supports implementation of the same land titling and registration system in 3 provinces in addition to the 11 provinces under IDA support. The land titling program is making contributions to improve tenure security for title recipients and in developing efficient land markets; however recent rapid increases in land values have led to increased land conflicts and brought pressure on informal settlers occupying deemed state land in both urban and rural areas. Concerns have been raised with Government recently regarding issuance of a 99 year lease in Phnom Penh and ensuring proper implementation of the project environment and social guidelines.

A restructuring plan was drawn up to move unallocated funds from that component to the periurban water supply component being implemented by the Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA). This restructuring was discussed in detail in FY09, but it remains to be finalized and formally approved. Progress in FY09 was limited to the PPWSA component, where activities continued to provide water connections to poor households on the outskirts of the city. The water program for the poor has reached over 16,000 families and the sanitation program has reached almost 1100 families. A feasibility study for construction of a water treatment plant and extension of network was completed, but it will be financed through other means. Overall, these project activities, although advancing rather slowly, will assist the government to meet its Millenium Development Goals in the water sector.

106 CN-Yixing Pumped Storage Project (P068058) China 20-Mar Dec-2010 Sector: Power (97%); Sub-national government administration (3%) received Additional Financing during no The proposed project is to increase the overall efficiency of the power sector in Jiangsu Province in two ways: (a) through the design and implementation of a far-reaching restructuring of the sector to further competition at the generation level and to provide large consumers access to generators; (b) through Project the construction of a pumped storage plant and associated transmission in Yixing to ease acute peaking problems and improve generation mix that would create the conditions for more flexible dispatch and improved supply reliability, an essential requirement for well-functioning competitive markets. The implementation of the pumped storage component has progressed satisfactorily. Despite a major delay in delivery of equipment and a number of technical defects in the equipment, the project implementing agency (JPSPC) managed to commission four units of the Yixing pumped storage power plant in June 2009, only slightly behind the schedule. However, as more time is needed to test the equipment and eliminate all technical defects, more time is required to disburse the remaining loan proceeds. Therefore, the Bank has extended the closing date of the loan by one year at the request of the Ministry of Finance. Progress in design and implementation of competitive power market is less satisfactory due to several reasons. Since the project appraisal in 2003, China suffered acute power shortages which made it impossible to introduce a real competition. Also China piloted a sort of power market at the regional level which delayed the introduction of an integrated competitive power market. The reform actions already implemented in China (full separation of generation from the network business, more efficient pricing, strengthened institutional capacity, spinning of non-core businesses) have created some competitive pressure among generators to improve efficiency. In addition, JPSPC has adopted many policies and measures to improve the efficiency of the power supply system. Therefore, almost all outcome indicators are achieved through these actions. As it is unlikely that China will have a full-flagged power market any time soon, some subcomponents of the project will need to be cancelled. This would not affect project objectives, as many actions to improve efficiency of power supply have been successfully Status of Projects in Execution - FY09 105

Project implementation is progressing if somewhat slowly. Several key indicators of increasing energy efficiency in urban residential buildings have been exceeded. For example 99% of current year new housing completion complies with applicable building energy efficiency standards compared to a project target of 80%. These building improvements have allowed for a cumulative coal savings capacity of over 526,000 tons carbon equivalent or 80% of the project target. However the current financial crisis has reduced occupancy rates of residential buildings, putting at risk the completion of consumption-based billing. New residential stock billed according to heat consumption is very low (2-3%) compared to the project target of 50%. Heating companies have been reluctant to implement consumption based billing due to its perceived risks and rapid increases in fuel costs as well as local pressure to keep heat prices low.

The global environment objective of the project is to maintain and nurture natural grassland ecosystems. The project is getting close to completion and is demonstrating good results. the development objective has been good. Observed income differences in project households compared with non-project households can be directly attributed to increased lamb survival (due to warm sheds), increased lamb growth rate (due to a combination of warm sheds, better nutrition and cross-breeding), improved quality (cross-breeding and nutrition) and a change in lambing time (warm sheds) so that sales coincide better with peak market demands # all achieved through project activities in fodder production, livestock breeding, livestock fattening, and livestock shed improvements. Culling of unproductive animals and introduction of higher quality and more productive animals combined with improved nutrition is enabling an increasing number of farmers and herders to decrease their flock sizes and thus reduce the pressure on grasslands. Positive impacts of GEF financed activities are also been demonstrated. Rotation grazing is reducing pressure on grasslands. An example is a herder who solely rely on grassland for forage - has been able to reduce his total number of sheep by 50% through improved nutrition gained from rotational grazing (introduced by the GEF program) and through reduction of trespass grazing due to secure boundary fences (financed by GEF). Carbon sequestration research work is rendering results showing that enclosure from grazing is increasing carbon sequestration capacity of the grassland from 20% to 50%. A river conservation program that includes fencing of a wetland river head to exclude livestock is demonstrating significant increase in ground cover, plant density, standing biomass, and increase in biodiversity. Grazing protection programs are resulting in rapid improvement with density and cover doubling, and biomass increase of 20% inside exclosure.

Linked to the loan Project, the new GEF Climate Change (CC) Project (US$5 million, approved in early 2008) demonstrates an innovative method for integrating CC adaptation support into this ongoing Project and national comprehensive agricultural development program. These two operations are jointly contributing to improving irrigation and drainage infrastructure, promoting CC adaptation activities, modernizing agricultural production, increasing farmer access to markets, and strengthen the agricultural value chain for farmers, which all help increase farmers' incomes.

Implementation was slow to start with nearly 12 months delay after loan effectiveness. However during fiscal year 2009, procurement activities and physical implementation accelerated satisfactorily. These activities are designed to improve water, wastewater and solid waste services in the project cities to help the project meet its development objective. Two issues, however, may negatively impact the likelihood of achieving the development objective and may require the project to be restructured during These two issues are: (a) continued delays starting the Public Utility Improvement Program; and (b) the potential cancellation of the Fushun water supply component due to a shortage of counterpart funds.

The Global Environment Objective is to reduce pollution loading to the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea through increased inter- and intramunicipal environmental services delivery. Implementation of the wastewater component over the last year has been very slow, especially concerning installation of the sewerage network whose completion rate stands at only 42% of the project target. Inadequate network progress means that the two wastewater treatment plants built under the project are currently operating at 70% capacity, compared to the target of 90%. The hazardous waste component is also significantly behind schedule due to a shortage of counterpart funds and land acquisition issues. Neither component can be completed by the current closing date. While progress toward improving the quality of the environment has been made, full achievement of the DO will depend on an extension of the loan closing date. With regard to financial sustainability the government has approved a wastewater tariff increase, but it is inadequate to meet covenants in the legal agreements. The GEF components have also encountered significant delays due to land acquisition issues. Most activities will only start bidding in FY10 and cannot be completed by the closing date, so the GEF DO is not likely to be met without an extension.

Implementation of the governance reform program has been slower than expected and the pilot has not reached as many districts as originally planned. However, recent progress has been promising and the project is in the process of being restructured and extended, with the goal of consolidating and enhancing the improvements achieved in the 14 current participating districts, rather than expanding the pilot to additional districts. All of the participating districts have completed the first phase of reforms, and 11 of them have fully implemented phase 2 and are more than halfway through phase 3 (final phase). As a result of the reforms implemented, most kabupaten have achieved significant progress in participatory planning, financial management, and procurement capacity. In general, kabupaten have opted for smaller subprojects than expected, and have thus been able to complete substantially more investment subprojects than originally planned (128 against a target of 74). Subprojects implemented include road and bridge rehabilitation, irrigation canals, water supply distribution systems, and school rehabilitation for post-earthquake reconstruction.

There has been good progress in improving the specific urban services selected by the local governments currently participating in the project, but there have been substantial delays in overall implementation. So far the urban investments have focused on rehabilitating and improving public markets and a transport terminal. However, because a number of the original participating governments dropped out of the program, implementation of investments in urban services will continue to lag until new participants finalize the process of joining the project and having their investment proposals approved. Initiation of the project's governance, reform, and capacity building activities was significantly delayed, but in recent months most of these activities have gotten under way as well.

This will empower and support coastal communities to sustainably co-manage the use of coral reefs and associated ecosystem resources, which will revive damaged or preserve intact coral reef ecosystems and, in turn, enhance the welfare of these communities. It is unlikely that the program will achieve its objectives by the current closing date. Despite initial delays and intermittent budget problems, the program has made important steps in organizing communities, developing sustainable coral reef management plans, and raising public awareness. However, the program has made limited progress in terms of actually creating enforceable conservation areas, implementing effective and sustainable community-based management, or achieving measureable gains in the restoration of reefs. The program operates in 257 villages, has established 15 local program implementation units, and has disbursed seed funds and village grants. On paper, collaboratively managed marine conservation areas cover more than 10 percent of reefs in the project target area, but it is too early to assess their effectiveness. The incomes of fishing households have increased in some communities, but this may be due to higher fish prices and larger catches (which may be putting more strain on fisheries) rather than the project's alternative income program.

The project continues to make good progress toward achieving its development objectives. For the grid extension to rural areas, connections for about 42% of the project targeted rural households had been made by the end of FY09, and 70% will be achieved by September 2009 at the current rate of progress. However, only 70% of project targets can be achieved with the original Credit funds due to price escalations for materials. Therefore, the remaining 30% of targets will be achieved through additional financing from Australian bilateral assistance (AusAID). For AusAid-funded activities, procurement is under way and completion is expected by December In off-grid electrification, 90% of the targeted connections should be made by October The additional financing and the necessary closing date extension will be processed in FY10. With the good results achieved to date and the additional financing, the project should increase access to electricity of rural households as foreseen. Implementation of the Action Plan for financial sustainability of the power sector is proceeding very well. The national electricity utility has closed its fiscal year with profits since 2007, due to the outstanding results on loss reduction (achieving 13% in 2009, well beyond the project target of 17%), good progress on settlement of Government arrears, and highly satisfactory tariff adjustments.

Additional progress on benefit-sharing with local communities from sales of timber is expected in the coming year. The objective is to achieve the sustainable management of production forests to alleviate rural poverty in the Project Provinces. Project achievements to date include the establishment of a nationwide Production Forest Area (PFA) system consisting of 51 PFAs covering about 3.6 million ha; the development of a national code of practice for production forests and guidelines on revenue-sharing and competitive timber sales; and successful implementation of Participatory Sustainable Forest Management (PSFM) in eight priority PFAs of four provinces covering about 650,000 ha. Of these 50,000 ha (in five subforest management areas in two provinces) have been certified in compliance with international standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Independent audits have reconfirmed the sustainability of demonstrated forest management practices. In addition, village institutions for PSFM implementation and village development (VD) have been established and are functioning in all 18 project districts and 412 villages, with communities participating in all forest management and village development activities, which are funded by timber revenues and supplemental village grants provided by the project. This level of community participation will enhance sustainability. Forest monitoring and control systems have been developed and piloted at a significant scale and are expected to contribute to monitoring Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) implementation as this program becomes operational in Lao PDR.

The project development objectives have substantially been achieved. Eighty-three percent of paved National roads are in excellent or good condition and 46% of the provincial road network is in good to fair condition. Domestic revenue has been mobilized to cover 82% and 9.4% of routine maintenance costs for National and provincial roads respectively. Since the start of the project 1,548km and 2,313km of National and provincial roads respectively have received periodic maintenance. Three-year performance contracts have been used for 3,864km of National roads. Significant achievements have been made in particular on increasing revenue collection for the Road Maintenance Fund, which is a domestic financing mechanism for road maintenance, with revenue collected from the road users, from approximately US$2 million in 2002 to US$20 million in The Fund is now adequate to cover 60% of the total needs for maintenance of the National road network. Progress on institutional capacity strengthening has also been reasonably good. Although there are still huge needs for further support, organizational aspects have been improved. Much road management has been tasked to provincial authorities, including planning, budgeting and contract management, leaving monitoring and supportive functions at central level. A large number of Ministry staff members at central, provincial and district levels have received training on technical, financial, contract management, and management. Progress on private sector development has also been made.

The global environment objective is to remove barriers to the development and use of renewable energy technologies in grid and off-grid connected systems and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. The rehabilitation of the soum mini grid will further reduce diesel fuel consumption of the hybrid systems with additional CO2 emissions reduction benefits. The project is on its way to meeting its development objectives. The Government of Mongolia (GoM) has thus far sold and distributed 40,400 (81%) out of the total 50,000 solar home systems and wind turbine systems to herder families. These accomplishments should lead the project to meet its indicator of increasing the percent of the herder population with access to reliable electricity services. Furthermore, the GoM has also accelerated its Soum electricity access program and has rehabilitated 15 of the 30 mini grids, and has installed 11 of the 20 renewable diesel hybrid systems, with an additional five soums having been connected to the main power grid. This achievement will increase the number of people in off-grid soum centers with access to improved and reliable electricity services supported by renewable or renewable-diesel hybrid systems. In addition, 30 sales and service centers (SSCs) have been established towards the target of 50 SSCs upon completion. These additional SSCs will help to ensure sustainable delivery and after sales service to the herder population. IDA-H2630 Effective XDR TF Effective USD Status of Projects in Execution - FY09 295

The global environment objective is to contribute to mitigating climate change through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in line with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. During the past year the project overcame a number of hurdles that were causing delays, and between July and October 2008 project activities were formally launched in Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji. Each of these countries now has an overall fund manager, a dedicated project manager at each executing agency, participating financing institutions, and qualified retailers. Formalizing the participation of key parties and setting up these administrative processes is both complex and an integral part of the project's outputs, which makes getting these arrangements in place a noteworthy achievement in and of itself. In Solomon Islands there have been 12 approved individual loans and one approved energy business loan; and in Fiji two business loans have been approved. In all three countries additional applications are under review. The focus will now be on further training (in particular of the picohydro power and coconut oil conversion options), as well as on further outreach and marketing and involvement of additional Participating Financing Institutions.

The project has made significant progress toward achieving its objectives. However, during the past year it began to fall behind schedule in implementing the scaled-up program of investments agreed in About 750 km of national roads and 50 km of provincial roads are being restored or improved through routine maintenance, and the percentage of roads in good or fair condition has nearly tripled the pre-project figures. The planning, implementation, financial and procurement capacity in the road sector has also been strengthened considerably. The majority of national and provincial road investments are now based on specified annual works programs carried out through competitively bid contracts, whereas at the outset of the project it was common for these activities to be carried out on an ad hoc basis without competitive procurement. Although a full assessment is still pending, several indicators suggest that improved road conditions are yielding benefits for road users and the broader community. An extension of the project closing date is under consideration to allow time for the scaled-up investment program to be completed.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase usage of zero-emission bicycle and pedestrian transport as a viable and beneficial alternate transport mode, and encourage the replication of this pilot program to other parts of Metro Manila, elsewhere in the Philippines, and in other countries. The project is on track towards achieving its development objective. The project has improved the operational efficiency of the transport system in Metro Manila: Travel time of transport users along the metropolis main corridor (Epifanio de los Santos Avenue or EDSA) has decreased from an average of 60 to 38 minutes. In addition, travel speed of motor vehicles improved in the secondary roads covered by the project. Safety especially of pedestrians is enhanced by the footbridges constructed along EDSA and Bicutan corridors. The Marikina Bridge and Access Road has been completed and is operational, providing improved access to Marikina Valley. The secondary roads are mostly completed, contributing to the increased capacity at intersections between secondary roads and project corridors. Efforts are now dedicated to complete the remaining activities, including a final evaluation of project outcomes, which is expected to confirm that the development objective is being achieved. The GEF objective is being met as the necessary infrastructure has been completed in December 2007 and workshops to promote bicycle use have been carried out. Survey data based on 14 hour traffic counts on selected streets with bikeways indicates that there has been a steady increase in bike use in Marikina.
