A total of 204 research projects are being implemented to bridge the technology gaps in the most sensitive and hitherto under served geophysically and bio-ecologically constrained areas of Bangladesh. Out of these projects, 110 are already completed, while 54 Page 1 of 11 The World Bank Report No: ISR14680 will be completed by June 30, 2014 and 40 others - by November 30, 2014. The study on the "Institutional reforms and Research Management", one of the two critical studies for the operationalization of the Amended BARC Act, has been completed, validated and disclosed. However, the second study on "Financial Management Code" suffered from important delays which is a critical backdrop to lay the foundation for the follow up operation. Moreover, CIGs have emerged as valuable village level farmer organizations for implementation of the decentralized demand-led extension services promoted under the project, thus laying a solid foundation for strengthening the effectiveness of producer organizations. Also, the special drive for improving farmers access to quality seeds led to establishment of many farmer groups as seeds producing SMEs. The home grown model of Farmer Information and Advisory Centers have proved their effectiveness as single window access closer to the farmers and housed within the local government complex. The pilot on Supply Chain Development business model has been expanded from 10 to 20 upazilla with a broadened package of 42 post- harvest technologies along with a network of 25 Commodity Collection and Marketing Centers. The processing of all procurement packages are about to be completed, except for BARC and HORTEX which may hold back the current rising trend of disbursement. An action plan has been agreed with the project team for proper completion of all unfinished tasks.
