Status of Projects in Execution - FY09EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC REGION

Introduction The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY09 provides information on all IBRD/IDA projects that were active as of June 30, 2009. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank’s revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes. In addition to the project progress description, the FY09 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date.

1 Notes:

Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project.

Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions.

Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph.

Uganda Project Name(ID): UG-Nat Agr Advisory Srvcs SIL (FY01) (P044695)

Country: Uganda

Board Approval Date: 15-Feb-2001

Mid-Term Review Date: 03-Jun-2005

Closing Date: 31-Dec-2009

Sector: Agricultural extension and research (70%); Central government administration (23%); Agricultural marketing and trade (7%)

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY09:

Project development objective(s):

The objective is to establish an effective and sustainable demand-driven agricultural advisory service which men and women farmers will be able to manage and use to identify opportunities to increase their own productivity and incomes in a sustainable manner.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s):

Progress toward meeting the development objectives has been good. Productivity in farm enterprises in the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) continues to exceed non-NAADS beneficiaries, (i.e., the value of gross output per hectare of participants increased by up to 29% more than non-participants). Households' well-being have also improved over time for the majority of participating farmers (42%-53% average increase in per capita income of NAADS participants compared to non- participants). The number of farmers and percentage of client farmers adopting technologies and management practices as a result of NAADS has also improved (74% adoption rate of improved seeds, 36% adoption rate of improved breeds).

The proposed additional credit financed an extension of the Second Environmental Management and Capacity Building Project (EMCBP II) until November 30, 2011, to scale up activities and enhance the positive impacts of the existing project. The proposed scaled up activities include: (i) expansion of municipal solid waste (MSW) composting in 8 Ugandan towns to permit them to participate in carbon trade and to address a pressing local environmental problem; (ii) expansion of tree planting on denuded national forest lands; (iii) enhancement of enforcement capacity within NEMA to address priority environmental issues; and,(iv) investment in priority environmental regulations, monitoring equipment and training relating to the rapidly expanding petroleum and gas sector in Uganda.


The project aims to enhance environmental management in district and communities, promote capacity building in lead agencies as well as promote capacity within the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA).


The project has made substantial progress in mainstreaming environmental management into the development plans of 32 target Districts and into the programs of 21 lead agencies. The capacity of these organizations has been strengthened, including completion of eight environmental management guidelines and five sectoral environmental impact assessments. Training of 56 District Environmental officers, and selected NGOs in 31 Districts was undertaken. The project also supported municipal waste management in nine major towns, addressing an acute local problem with solid waste disposal, and enabling participation in carbon trade with carbon emission reductions from composting.

Country: Uganda

Board Approval Date: 20-Jun-2006



Sector: General public administration sector (100%)


The goals of the restructuring were to reduce the scope and target of the project, with a view to streamline project activities and to focus on new areas of priority for the government. This is in response to the limited project management capacity in the implementing agency. The restructuring exercise was also used to extend the closing date of the project and reduce overall financing from US $ 70million to US $ 23million.


The objectives of the project are: (a) to improve the efficiency and affordability of public services; (b) increase accountability in the use of public resources; and (c) improve the policy, institutional and regulatory environment for sustainable growth and service delivery in targeted areas.


Progress towards achieving the project objectives is slow, but moving in the right direction. The contract for the integrated payroll system has been signed and procurement for refurbishment of the Data Centre is almost concluded. Government is in the final stages of procuring technical assistance for institutional reviews and improving the integrated performance management system, setting up the Civil Service College and supervisory services for the construction of the National Records Centre and Archives.

The objective is to empower communities in 18 districts by enhancing their capacity to systematically identify, prioritize, and plan for their needs and implement sustainable development initiatives.


The project continues to demonstrate good results on the ground, and is likely to meet its development objectives. There was a slow start in the first year due partly to sporadic conflicts in the project area. Also, there were delays in establishing implementation structures at the community and local government levels. Nevertheless, implementation has progressed well since 2006 and closed on March 31, 2009. As a result, over 8,000 community sub-projects have been funded and, about 96% of them have been completed. These subprojects are benefiting 46.1% of the population in Northern Uganda against the target of 30%.

The 2nd Annual National Science Week was a success; surpassing the previous year's event in terms of attendance, outreach and engagement of the Science Technology & Innovation community. Preparations for the first iteration of monitoring surveys are underway, and will include refinements t o baseline data.
