Q4 2016 QPR
A. INTRODUCTION 1. The Climate Resilient Rice Commercialisation Sector Development Program (Rice- SDP), which commenced in November 2013, supports the implementation of the ‘Policy on the Promotion of Paddy production and Rice Export’ of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC). It is designed to help transform the predominantly subsistence rice sector into a commercially oriented one by improving household and national food security and expand rice export through (i) removing the legal and regulatory constraints inhibiting rice commercialization; (ii) improving productivity of paddy crops and consistency in quality of milled rice; (iii) enhancing rice value chain support services; and (iv) addressing risks of climate change through mitigation and adaptation. 2. The Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) for Q4 2016 provides a description of the progress that has been achieved during this quarter. The PPMS that has been developed is being progressively into the QPRs initially through the inclusion of the Activity Monitoring Framework. However, there is a need for more active involvement of the PIO and NIO teams in the collection of this data and in the compilation of the progress reports. The QPR also includes a summary of the financial progress although the rates of disbursement remain very low due to the slow progress in the implementation of many activities. This is expected to improve in 2017 as more contract awards are made which will boost the disbursement rate.

D. SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS
Status of project scope/implementation arrangements compared with those in the report and RRP, and whether major changes have occurred or will need to be made:
The Program is making better progress and the capacity of the IAs and their familiarity with ADB project procedures is improving. The scope of the Program remains in line with those of the RRP to date although there have been changes made to the implementation approach in some cases, notably for the Paddy Drying and Storage (PDS) facilities including the procedure for the identification of the sites for these facilities and the provision of concessional loans for their construction. Assessment of the likelihood that the Project purpose will be met in part or in full, and whether remedial measures are required based on the current project scope and implementation arrangements:
It is too early to make any definitive judgement on this. The Program has made limited progress so far but the achievement of the compliance conditions for the Program loan fund release are reasonably well on track although the conditions relating to land management and plant protection require some additional time to complete and a request for extension of the loan duration has been made. The PIC team have provided essential technical support provided to the IAs particularly during the formulation and revision of implementation approaches. The AWPB 2017 that has been developed, which is ambitious in scope, provides a clear guide for the implementation during the year and together with the PPMS enables a better means of tracking performance. An assessment of changes to the key assumptions and risks that affect attainment of the development objectives:
Of the risks identified in the RRP the most challenging issue concerns “the inherently complex nature of sector development program modality and limited technical skills and resources to implement legal and regulatory reforms”. PIC Agricultural Policy Specialists are assisting the government in implementing legal and regulatory reforms for compliance with the release of the Second Tranche in Q2 2016. The current situation is summarised in Annex 3.
Other program developments, including monitoring and reporting on environmental and social requirements that might adversely affect the pro's viability or accomplishment of immediate objectives:
At this early stage, no significant factors have emerged which might adversely affect the project’s long-term viability. The accomplishment of immediate objectives is partly constrained by the issues that are described in Section L.

H. GENDER ACTION PLAN 40. The National and International Gender / Social Safeguards Specialists were mobilized during Q3, and made considerable progress during Q4 in terms of laying the foundation in place to implement the Gender Action Plan and extend technical assistance and training to the appointed GSS Officers in NIOs and PIOs. To this end, the GAP was verified and translated into Khmer. Six gender checklists were also developed in both Khmer and English, covering different agencies and areas of responsibilities within the program. The Gender Checklists enable GSS Officers and other managers to track whether they are meeting the aims, objectives, and indicators which directly apply to their work. The National GSS Specialist also extended one-on-one mentoring and training to each GSS Officer to ensure that they understood their roles and responsibilities, and informally assessed their capacities. The team developed a formal training plan to complement the hands-on guidance and build team morale and include opportunities for cross-learning. The GSS team also attended meetings and prepared briefing notes regarding public policy, particularly the Draft Agricultural Land Law. They also attended (and, when requested, presented at) various RICE meetings and workshops. 41. One of the chief challenges is that while the GAP lays out ambitious targets, some are arguably not realistic. A second is under Rice SDP the indicators are oriented towards implementation and program management. The PIC team can extend technical assistance and training, but ultimately it is the responsibility of government counterparts to do all the follow-through. In the case of GSS, this may be inhibited because the appointed GSS Officers do not have authority within their agencies to ensure that this happens.9 I. ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE 42. The PIC international Climate Change Expert provided support to the MOWRAM consultants during the conduct of the FSs for the six 1st priority irrigation sub-project designs, namely in BTB (Anlong Run, Ta Mao), PVG (Chamcar Kuoy, Anlong Char) and KPT (Ta Soong, Bat Trang). The history, status, potential and specific site conditions with the six sites were found to vary considerably. 43. Because of the limited time provided the study of these six irrigation sub-projects has to be completed at a very rapid pace but in order to fully understand the local situation at each site more in-field time for each sub-project needs to be provided. The site visits that were completed have included meetings with the stakeholders, familiarization with the specific sub- project details and issues, and discussion particularly with farmers regarding the recurrent existing weather events, the varieties they are growing, and what they would like to consider and achieve with improved water management including the opportunities for crop diversification. A draft report was prepared summarising the findings and also providing a Tool Kit for Climate Proofing of irrigation systems which can be used for future reference. A set of specific recommendations are being prepared for each of these sub-projects. J. RESETTLEMENT 44. The FS/DD/CS consultant teams that have been recruited by MOWRAM completed assessments of the resettlement requirements for the six 1st priority irrigation sub-projects including some site visits to assist the Inter-Ministerial Resettlement Committee (IRC) to

resolve some issues. In the case of the two core irrigation sub-projects the contract awards for the civil works will be made after the satisfactory resolution of some remining issues. K. ASSESSMENTS OF RISKS, ASSUMPTIONS AND COMPLAINCE WITH CONVENANTS K.1 Assessment of Risks and Assumptions 45. A comprehensive assessment of risks and assumptions was undertaken from the onset of project implementation. This was updated at the start of 2016 to ensure that risk and assumptions are in line with the status of implementation.10 K.2 Compliance with Covenants 46. The relevant loan agreements covering the Rice-SDP are as follows: 11
Loan Type Date Loan Agreement (Special Operations) for Climate Resilient Rice Agreements, Loan Agreement August 2013 Commercialization Sector Development Program (Loan 3006) (Special Operations) Loan Agreement (Special Operations) for Climate Resilient Rice Agreements, Loan Agreement August 2013 Commercialization Sector Development project (Loan 3007) (Special Operations) Grant Agreement (GAFSP) for Climate Resilient Rice Agreements, Grant Agreement August 2013 Commercialization Sector Development Project Loan Agreement (ADB Strategic Climate Fund) for Climate Agreements, Loan Agreement August 2013 Resilient Rice Commercialization Sector Development Project (Special Operations) Grant Agreement (ADB Strategic Climate Fund) for Climate Agreements, Grant Agreement August 2013 Resilient Rice Commercialization Sector Development Project
K.3 Compliance conditions for ADB Program Loan - 3006 (CAM) 47. The Program Loan Covenants are established in the loan and grant agreements with further reference to the Development Policy Letter (April 2013) and Appendix 4 Policy Matrix of the RRP (June 2013). 48. The Loan Agreement for the Commercial Sector Development Program, ADF 3006 (August 2013) includes a specific agreement under Schedule 3 on the withdrawal of funds:
“4. No withdrawal shall be made from the Loan Account for the First Tranche unless ADB is satisfied that the Borrower has met the policy actions for the release of the tranche specified in Attachment 2 to this Schedule. 5. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Loan Agreement and except as ADB may otherwise agree, no withdrawals shall be made from the Loan Account for the Second Tranche unless ADB is satisfied, after consultation with the Borrower, that (a) sufficient progress has been achieved by the Borrower in the carrying out of the Program; (b) the policy actions that were met for the release of the First Tranche continue to be complied with by the Borrower; and (c) the Borrower has met the policy actions for the release of the Second Tranche specified in Attachment 3 to this Schedule.”
49. The PIC team have continued to provide support to the MAFF/NIO and the TWGs to enable the achievement of the compliance conditions for the release of the 2nd tranche. There has been good progress on achieving compliance with the five policy conditions relating to seed.

L. PROGRAM ISSUES AND REMEDIAL ACTION 50. A series of issues were identified during Q4 2016 which are summarised below, together with where appropriate remedial action which is being applied or is required.12
Issue/Problem Proposed Remedial Action(s) Output 1: Conducive Legal and Regulatory Environment established There has been good progress towards achieving compliance with the conditions 1 to 5 relating to seed. In the case of the conditions relating to land and plant protection the progress has been slower and has necessitated the preparation of a request for an extension of the loan duration. Continued support by the PIC policy experts will be needed to ensure that the compliance can be achieved by the new deadline of 30 June 2017. Output 2: Agricultural Land Use Zoning Improved In the Q3 report it was noted that it was essential for the funding mechanism for the conduct of the CAEA field work to be finalised. The preparation of the LoA has been seriously delayed and the result has been that no work on CAEA could The field work for the conduct of the CAEA in the target communes in commence in 2016. Once the LoA has been finalised and received a no objection from the ADB the challenge will then each province has still not commenced. be to mobilise the district teams and commence the field work so that there are no more delays. The AWPB for 2017 indicates that all communes will be completed in one year which will be a very challenging task for all concerned. Although programmed in the 2016 work plan these trainings were delayed and then deferred to 2017 due to some misunderstandings with the PMO on the purpose of these trainings. It had originally been intended that these trainings The conduct of the initial training on the CLUP process for sub-national would be deferred until the CLUP consultant team were mobilised. However, MLMUPC/NIO desired to implement these staff was delayed. trainings which are designed to provide an overview of the whole CLUP process for the sub-national staff prior to the arrival of the consultants. Only the training in BTB was accomplished and the other two provinces were delayed. It is essential that these trainings go ahead in Q1 of 2017 without further delay and are completed. After long delays in the finalisation of the ToR for the CLUP service contract the advertisement for EoIs was also delayed and the evaluation of the submission received is still not completed. It is intended that the contract will be awarded early The award of the CLUP service contract has been delayed. in 2017 and it is essential to achieve this deadline since there now remains only three years to achieve the completion of the CLUPs in all target communes, which is the timeline indicated in the ToR. Any further delays will mean that the CLUP process may not be achievable with the Program life. Output 3: Climate Resilient Rice Value Chain Infrastructure developed Based upon the revised cost estimates that are available for two-core irrigation sub-projects and four of the 1st priority irrigation sub-projects it is clear that the available funds will be completely utilised and there will be insufficient funds There are insufficient funds available to support all the prioritised available to support the remaining 2nd and 3rd priority sub-projects. The MOWRAM/NIO consultants have been awarded irrigation subprojects. a contract to design and supervise the 19 identified irrigation sub-projects. When the revised cost-estimates for the current eight sub-projects have been completed a decision should be taken on restructuring the consultant team based upon the reduced scope of work. This should represent some cost saving for the Program.
12 Annex 11 includes an update of the Agreed Action Plan from the last Review Mission. CLIMATE RESILIENT RICE COMMERCIALIZATION SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 16 Q4 QPR 2016
Issue/Problem Proposed Remedial Action(s) The DMF for the Rice SDP makes specific reference to the design of climate resilient rehabilitated irrigation structures. It also includes an assumption that climate resilient infrastructure is economically viable and politically acceptable. In addition, the funding for the irrigation sub-projects is partially taken from the SCF Loan (23 percent) and the monitoring framework for the SCF makes very specific reference to the “increased resilience to climate change and climate variability”. It is thus essential that MOWRAM team address this deficiency in their current design process and ensure that, for each sub-project that is studied, there is an assessment of (i) the impact of climate change that has occurred The Program has not addressed the need for climate proofing determined through local consultative meetings with farmers; (ii) the need for climate proofing of the structures; and (ii) measures for the irrigation sub-projects. the estimated additional cost of incorporating such measures. The MOWRAM consultant team have minimal expertise in this area, and it is only in late Q4 that it was possible to mobilise the PIC international Climate Change Expert to provide some guidance. Further technical inputs in this area will be required to ensure that an adequate assessment can be done for each of the sub-projects and to ensure that modifications to the structure designs can be identified. In meetings with the MOWRAM/NIO and the consultant team the importance of this has been stressed to ensure that satisfactory responses can be provided during future ADB Missions. Although there has been an agreement on the use of the Concessional Loans to selected rice millers the establishment PDS facilities there is some uncertainty on some aspects of the proposed approach. The PIC team have prepared a Concept Note on the implementation approach and this has been submitted to ADB for review. Of concern are the utilisation of the GASFP grant to provide loans to the rice milers and the mechanism monitoring the repayments which Further clarification on the mode of implementation of the PDS will extend beyond the life of the Program. The loan duration proposed by the RDB is quite short given the size of the facilities is required. loans and this needs to be reassessed to ensure that the cash flow required can be met. The mechanism for awarding the civil works contracts and the procurement of the grain handling equipment also need to be resolved. The advertisement for EoIs from rice miller cannot commence until the Concept Paper has been agreed to by ADB and thus there are further delays being experienced. The MAFF/NIO have proposed a change in the mode of implementation of these facilities so that instead of being stand- MAFF/NIO want to change to the mode of implementation of the SDPS alone facilities leased by private operators, the funds will be used to establish SDPS facilities at an Agriculture Station in facilities which represents a significant change from the original each province to provide services to the ACs that are engaged in rice seed production. This is a significant change in the design. mode of implementation of this output and there will be a need for a Concept paper to be developed describing the mode of operation of these facilities and providing an analysis of the operating costs involved and now these will be met. The PIOs have made very little further progress with the implementation of the land levelling activity. The period when land levelling can be done most effectively, that is immediately prior to the onset of the rains, will soon be fast approaching. Here have been consultations with farmers to determine how much they would be prepared be pay for land levelling and this has resulted in a general agreement that they would only pay 10 percent of the actual cost. There is no mechanism There remains very slow progress with the implementation of the land yet developed on how to collect their contributions. Few if any contractors have commenced registration with the provincial levelling. authorities which is essential before they can bid for the contracts. The mode of implementation will result in the Program paying for 90 percent of the cost of land levelling thus rendering the sustainability of the activity very dubious. The original intention that the land levelling would be achieved through some form of PPP agreement with the contractors and that land levelling would be provided as a commercial service has been lost.

Issue/Problem Proposed Remedial Action(s) The PIOs have received some further guidance on the implementation procedures for the associated initiatives for the irrigation sub-projects concerning the identification of activities to support the formation of FWUCs, strengthening of There has been very slow progress on formulating the activities under agricultural cooperatives, enhancing extension services, etc., There have been some LoAs drafted to enable the staff of the Associated Interventions within the irrigation sub-project site areas. PDWRAM and PDAFF to be engaged for the field work but these identified only lump sums for the field activities. In order to gain approval for these LoAs this a need for a detailed breakdown of the costs of each activity to provide a basis on which the advances that are provided can be liquidated. Output 4: Enhanced Rice Value Chain Support Services A survey on the selected ACs located with the target districts in each province, which was designed by the PIC team, was implemented by the PDAFF after receiving a briefing from the MAFF/NIO. The information that was provided to the PIO and PDAFF was lacking and in consequence the survey was poorly executed. The PIC team were then tasked with The assessment of the ACs to determine their needs for capacity analysing the survey results and there were found to be many inconsistencies and gaps in the information. In building and improved facilities has been seriously delayed. consequence, it was necessary to return to each province again to gather all of the missing information and validate that which had been obtained during the survey. It had been intended that this information would provide a basis for the development of a clear plan of activities for the AWPB 2017 but because of the delays and other difficulties this cannot be achieved.

Local farmers report that the canal was first constructed around 1967 by local residents in the area and it has been used since then. It is referred to as a secondary canal because of its relatively small dimensions (although this name is somewhat spurious as it is the main canal leading off from the water source - a river diversion structure). Rehabilitation works for the canal were included in the ECOSORN project, and took place in two phases, from January to June 2008 and January to February 2009. The ECOSORN design included backfilling of the canal bed to a depth of approximately 1m above its original elevation. This was opposed by farmers who advised that water could not be diverted into the canal at this elevation. The ECOSORN project proceeded regardless and Description of sub- on completion, no river water could be diverted into the canal as local farmers had project expected. The ECOSORN was unable to rectify the situation before it closed. The sub-project will rectify many of the design faults including lowering the canal bed by 1 metre and reinstalling water management structures along the secondary canal. The sub- project will (i) rehabilitate the canal for a length of 4.39 km; (ii) replace the existing diversion head works structure where the canal draws water from the Mongkol Borey River; (iii) rehabilitate off-take structures and check structures along its length; and (iv) construct two crossings together with an access road to provide for canal maintenance and access to farmers’ fields. Since this is identified as one of the core sub-projects all the necessary documents including the BOQ and contracts need to be submitted to ADB/CARM for approval PROGRESS REPORT During the PPTA all the data collection for this sub-project was done by the consultant team in 2012. The FSDDCS consultant team have collected updated hydrological and village data and verified them with the PATA data. The consultant has updated the Data Collection resettlements data including (i) number of effected people; (ii) Inventory of Loss (IOL) and this updated data has been compared to the previous PPTA data. The necessary modification work was taken into consideration during the sub-project design stage. Verification of the existing levels which were installed during the PPTA revealed some very Topographic minor data errors and the detailed design works were completed. During the survey, it was Survey found that BM3 was missing and the foundation of the BM5 has been deformed and are not recommended to be used during the construction. The FS was completed during the 4th quarter and the previous data was verified against the current data. The sub-project command area and necessary village data was also collected through the village and commune participation. During the FS, the consultants Feasibility Study analysed the PPTA environmental data and prepared the technical report. The previous Initial Environmental Examinations (IEEs) was updated based upon the current sub-project conditions. The consultant screened the sub-project area to determine the involuntary resettlement impact and supervised the DD of the sub-project to minimise and or avoid the involuntary resettlement impacts. Regarding the current road alignment, the resettlement plan was updated. In cooperation with the IRC, the IOL was revised to determine the total number Resettlement of affected people. The consultant assisted the IRC to screen the sub-project area for involuntary resettlement impacts to determine eligibility of the subproject for financing under the project. The Bid Opening Meeting was conducted on 19 August 2016 and it is expected that the compensation will be paid off before award the contract. However, the approval of the resettlement plan is still under the process by the IRC.

Name of sub- Prey Sangha (CW-001 Lot 1) project Based upon current hydrological modelling to predict the potential increase in flooding until the end of the century the flood flows may on average increase by 10 to 20 percent and the corresponding flood depths might increase by 0.3 to 0.5 m. These estimates must be treated with caution, and local infrastructure developments and changes in land use have Climate Proofing potential for greater and more immediate change in flood regimes. For high risk infrastructure, such as dams and spillways it is prudent to err on the side of caution and the design standard adopted for spillways was the 1 in 100 year peak discharge increased by 20 percent, this being the upper bound average increase predicted by the ADB Climate Change Adaptation Project. Detailed design, quantity calculation and the BOQs were completed during the reporting period. Based on the cropping calendar, the irrigation requirement (1.0 - 1.75 L/sec/ha in Cambodia depends on seasonal variation of humidity %) and the hydrology data, estimated the peak water requirement to prepare design sizes of infrastructures canal and type of the irrigation systems. According with the MOWRAM guideline, the Prey Sangha sub-project was designed up to 2 L/sec/ha. This will improve the water efficiency and increases the capacities of the water management structures which also contributes the structure changes for climate change adaptation. Under the sub-project, the following three major task will be implemented: (i) 4.4 km of main canal rehabilitation; (ii) associated irrigation structure construction; and (iii) support for seed production. Under the first two tasks the following constructions or rehabilitation Detailed Design works will be implemented. - Rehabilitation of Main Canal (MC), 4280m length including laterite pavement for access road 4m with grass sodding for both sides by uniform flow for irrigation area of 1150 hectares. - Construction of one head regulator, two bridges, four check structures, 17 Turnouts, two inlets, two guide post locations (8 Guide Posts) with size (100 x 100 x 1,200), one ramp box culvert and one feeder canal with length 200 m connected to the head regulator - Demolish the following six types of structures in 27 locations: (i) one intake structure; four bridges; (iii) three check structures; (iv) drain inlets; (v) four pipe culverts; and (vi) thirteen open flumes. The bidding document was prepared during the reporting period. Since this is one of the core sub-projects, the NCB procurement method will be carried out in accordance with the ADB procurement guidelines. The standard bidding document format of the RGC (SOP) has been used for the preparation of the bid documents and these have been prior- reviewed and approved by the ADB. Based upon the BOQ, the bid document was completed and combined with the detailed DD and was submitted to ADB/CARM on 30th Procurement June 2016 for NOL. The bid advertisement was published on 7th July 2016 with a closing date of 19th August 2016 and the bid opening meeting conducted on 19th August 2016.

Attempts to divert the water from the Stung Chinit (Chinit River) and its tributary, the Taing Krasaing, commenced in the 1970s when substantial diversion weirs, flood bunds and a canal system were built, with the main intention of providing supplementary irrigation for wet-season rice. This infrastructure quickly fell into disrepair, with the failure of control structures and collapse of some parts of the canal network. On completion of the Stung Chinit Irrigation and Rural Infrastructure Project (2008), the rehabilitated infrastructure included 9.7 km of main canal. With the construction of the 1st January Main Canal, potential irrigation areas were opened up to the south of the reservoir closer to Tonle Sap. The present configuration provides very uncertain water supply. The existing profile varies Description of sub- considerably and is predominantly shallow, low in definition from the predominant project landscape, and clearly shows that it has silted up over many seasons. The sub-project requires the rehabilitation of irrigation and drainage facilities of 1,650 ha of land along the existing secondary canal No. 3, extending into that area currently served by canals Nos. 1 and 2. The subproject will conclude a laterite surfaced access road along one of the canal embankments to provide access for maintenance of the canal and associated structures; as well as providing improved access to markets for the farmers. Engineering work will include (i) rehabilitation of 9.1 km of a secondary canal, (ii) construction of eight off-take and outlet structures delivering the seven to the left and one to the right of the canal, (iii) construction of one off-take and outlet structure at the end of the secondary canal and another to supply the tertiary canal running north of canal No. 3, (iv) and construction of 12 drainages and off-take structures.

After the Khmer Rouge period when additional work was completed, one Italian funded project funded an upgrade and improved - but only on a small section of the canal. The flow of water is limited by the size and position of the major Sluice gate which controls the confluence of the River and the Primary Canal (travels from south – north) which feeds the Prey Phdao River traveling in a west to east direction. The water source for the scheme is the Kamping Pouy Reservoir around 8.0 km from the scheme. The fall of the site is to the north, and the water supply is in the south. Normally the farmers have two crops per year, one rice and the other being a cash crop, banana, bean, water melon etc. One major problem is that when they have water available from the scheme, the farmers cannot successfully manage and divide the water during the period when all farmers are in need of water, there being no functioning FWUC. In 2004 the C/S fund was used to build a new Description of sub- sluice gate and lowered the outlet which made more water available and also funded project masonry work for the walls of some canal sections. The system is supplied by a main canal of 4.100 km in length. The secondary and the tertiary canals (in total there are 21 kms of tertiary canals) which are silted up. Anlong Run irrigation subproject is located in Thmor Korl district in Battambang province. The main link canal and secondary canal flow through two communes; Ta Kriem and Anglong Run. The rehabilitation of the link canal and the secondary canal will feed five villages, Ta Kriem, Prey Phhao, Krous, Sophy and Kat Char villages. The main requirement of this sub-project is to rehabilitate 4.1 km of link canal and 12.28 km of secondary canals with the establishment of associated irrigation structure. Although 1,200 hectares of commend area was reported in the PPTA, the recent survey done by the consultants have identified only 1,435 hectares. The main canal is located downstream of the Kamping Pouy reservoir which is fed by the Phrey Phhao stream. PROGRESS REPORT All the required data were collected on hydrology, agriculture assessment, resettlement, environmental and status of the FWUC. The data for the socio-economic safeguards studies and technical data for operation of irrigation system was also collected. In Data Collection consultation with farmers and the village chief, the farmer’s requirement for the irrigation scheme were identified including information on the flood levels. Structure conditions were also determined during the data collection. A total of six TBMs were installed into the ground with durable materials along the Topographic alignment of canal to avoid any movement for the conduct topographical survey. The Survey layouts, plans, profile section, cross section and the contour lines were generated with AutoCAD and GIS software. The sub-project was found to be technically feasible and with satisfactory benefits with an EIRR 23.1 percent; water will be available for supplementary gravity irrigation on the right- Feasibility Study hand side and by pumping on the left-hand side. The cost estimate is 1,281 USD/ha for the full scheme and through the consultation with the commune/villages and by examinations at the site the resettlement and environment are both category C. Meetings were held in mid-November to review the resettlement resolution. The sub- project focuses on the rehabilitation and extension the RoW of the main canal and associated with structures. The works will be carried out within the existing width of the Resettlement canal (20 m from the centre line) and there is no encroachment on beneficiary landholdings. There are no affected households, structures and no land acquisition is required for this sub-project. The sub-project may therefore be classified as resettlement Category C.

The canal starts from downstream of the Kamping Pouy reservoir and feeds mainly from the Phrey Phhao stream. This 4.81 km Ta Mao secondary canal will serve as a link canal as well and it was built during the Pol Pot regime. The main requirements of the sub-project Description of sub- are to rehabilitate 4.81 km of link canal, 11.07 km of secondary canal and associated project irrigation structures. This link canal will divert water to the Samdech, Dachor Sen and Ou Taki areas to cultivate during the early raining and raining seasons. Despite 200 hectares of the commend area mentioned in the PPTA, the recent survey done by FSDDCS has revealed it is 1,038 hectares. PROGRESS REPORT All required data collection especially the hydrology and the agriculture were collected including information on resettlement, environment screening and existing farmer water Data Collection user groups. The social and economic safeguards required were also identified and the data collected was considered for the irrigation system operation. The required irrigation control structure also identified during this time. During the survey, identify the project boundaries, command areas, irrigation canals and especially the water sources. During the reporting period, four TBMs were established along the canal alignment. To ensure that levelling marks could be accurately repositioned in the Topographic Survey same place in the future, the TBMs were marked on concrete posts and installed into the ground. During the preparation of layouts, profile sections and cross sections were generated with AutoCAD and GIS software. The sub-project was found to be technically feasible and with satisfactory benefits with an EIRR 16.0 percent; water will be available for supplementary gravity irrigation on the right- Feasibility Study hand side and by pumping on the left-hand side. The cost estimate is 1,193.71 US$/ha for the full scheme. Meetings were held in mid-November to review the resettlement resolutions. The sub- project focus on the rehabilitation and extension the RoW of the main canal and associated with structures. The works will be carried out within the existing width of the canal (15 m Resettlement from the centre line) and there is no encroachment on beneficiary landholdings. There are no affected households or structures and no land acquisition is required for this sub-project. The sub-project may therefore be classified as resettlement Category C. Based upon current hydrological modelling to predict the potential increase in flooding until the end of the century the flood flows may on average increase by 10 to 20 percent and the corresponding flood depths might increase by 0.3 to 0.5 m. These estimates must be treated with caution, and local infrastructure developments and changes in land Climate Proofing use have potential for greater and more immediate change in flood regimes. For high risk infrastructure, such as dams and spillways it is prudent to err on the side of caution and the design standard adopted for spillways was the 1 in 100 year peak discharge increased by 20 percent, this being the upper bound average increase predicted by the ADB Climate Change Adaptation Project. Based on the design cropping calendar, seasonal variation of humidity and hydrology data and estimation of the peak water requirement (1.75 l/sec/ha) to prepare designs, but the sub-project was designed up to 2 l/sec/ha to improve water efficiency and automatic increasing capacities of the water management structures. The sub-project will be designed for gravity irrigation in the wet season and due to low water level in the canal, the water pumping is needed during the dry season. The design features are as follows: Detailed Design For the tertiary canal with length 4,803 m: - Repair one existing check structure on secondary canal. - Construction of tertiary canal (TC1) with 1,164 m length including laterite pavement for 6 m width on right side and 4 m width on left side; and grass sodding in both sides along alignment; tertiary canal (TC2) with 3,639 m length including laterite pavement for 4 m width on embankment on left side and right side; and grass sodding in both sides along alignment, two head regulators.

Estimate The Ta Soong area is a natural lowland/wetland area and was originally constructed during the Norodom Sihanouk regime, had some contributions during the Khmer rouge period, then additional works have been completed by the commune but these works were not to national standards. The east side is a feeder canal which basically drains to the west. The western side is more important where some farmers are producing two short duration rice crops per year, but routinely there is only one good crop - which requires considerable water pumping to achieve good production. The 2nd crop is limited because of a lack of supplementary irrigation. However, in the late dry seasons, (early December - March) they produce over a 90-day cropping period. Adjacent to the proposed area is the so-called Hun Sen canal which was rehabilitated/constructed with ADB support in 2006 which deepened the canals and constructed roads on both sides of canals to make access and harvest easier. The major problem in the system at this stage is that the water supply is not sufficient from the feeder canal in the east for the water demand. The length of the canal Description of sub- is over 12.0 km and requires a considerable flow. The main canal is fed by stream/gravity project from the Steont reservoir in the mountains to the east, around 20 km away. In addition, there is some degree of salinity in the water from surface evaporation and farmers have been growing some salt tolerant varieties which are now very popular. The sub-project is located in Barray district in Kampong Thom province. The subproject will benefit three villages, Por, Thanal Thamai and Chaktolouk. The sub-project will rehabilitate a secondary canal and the associated irrigation management structures. The total expected command area is about 1330 hectares. The canal will receive water from the Stung Chinit reservoir located at the south of the secondary canal. At the beginning of the canal, there is a narrow pipe culvert (1,000 mm) installed under the National Road No. 6. During the sub-project inspection, it was revealed that the volume of water delivered by this 1,000 mm pipe is insufficient to fully irrigate the 1,330 hectares of the command area. The replacement of the culvert would be challenging, since it is passing under the National Road No.6. However, during the field observations, it was found that there is a possibility to feed the canal from the canal Samdach Chor Sen Baray. PROGRESS REPORT The data requirements for the sub-project feasibility study include hydrology data, agriculture analysis, resettlement and environment screening and status of the existing Data Collection farmer water user committee were completed in December. In addition, social and economic safeguards studies and for technical data to determine how the system will be operated, and what control structure will be required. During the survey in December, the project boundaries, command areas, irrigation canals and especially the water sources will be studied. During the quarter, 10 TBMs were Topographic established alone the canal alignment. To ensure that the levelling marks could be Survey accurately repositioned in the same place in the future, the TBMs were marked on concrete posts and installed in the ground. The drawing plans, profile section, cross section and the contour lines were generated with AutoCAD and GIS software.
The feasibility study is still ongoing. The sub-project was considered technically feasible Feasibility Study and the subproject is expected to have an EIRR 18.52%.

The existing scheme takes water from Staung River which then potentially delivers over a command area of 2000 ha. However, during the dry season, some sections / parts of the Staung river are now empty so supply of water is problematic. Groundwater in the region is at approximately 30.0m and is considered to be potable. The canal along which the water flows is a natural stream but it is currently all covered with silt. This means water cannot flow along the length. So farmers can only use the canal at the end of the rainy season because before that the water dries Description of sub- up and empties quickly. project This sub-project is located in Msar Krang commune, Stoung district and will construct a 12- metre weir across the Steung Stoung river and also will rehabilitate six km of irrigation canal. The villagers expect to cultivate two crops in a year which has not been possible due to the entire stream drying out during the dry season. The construction of this weir will benefit three villages of Kouk Trea, Kampong Pradam and Pou Lar. The rehabilitation of the dam is demanding and will completely block the downstream part of the stream. A full environmental assessment needs to be done since a large area will be inundated. The farmers cross the river by foot to reach the command areas and the bridge construction is also required. PROGRESS REPORT The data collection commenced on 25th November and continued in mid-December. Depending on the technical data collected, the required number of structures and how to Data Collection operate the irrigation system will be decided. The water gravity level and the flood level will also be studied within the whole catchment area of this subproject. During the survey in December, the project boundaries, command areas, irrigation canals and especially the water sources will be established.

In some sections, it is a small ephemeral shallow depression in the landscape, in others it looks like a dry steam bed which holds water for a short period each year, in other parts there are shallow well holes dug into the centre, and at the other extreme it is a more formally constructed drainage line with embankment and access road on the south side. The topography of the site has few features on a predominantly flat land. However, the survey data shows that the land falling from east to west. The dry season has traditionally been approximately six months in length, but which increasingly has featured a late arrival and a compression in the length of the wet season. Under the normal regime, the canal dries out, leaving it as a depression in the landscape. At the eastern end, it meets another canal system which runs north-south which is fed from the same source. The present Description of sub- configuration provides very uncertain water supply. The existing profile varies considerably project and is predominantly shallow, low in definition from the predominant landscape, and clearly shows that it has silted up over many seasons. An access road currently runs along the eastern end of the canal, linking back to the road. Along the length of the canal there are uneven / natural depressions in the canal surface. The canal is dissected by a north-south two lane road which has an embankment of some 2.0 m above the predominant land level. The source of the water for the canal and the project is a Boueng Sne lake, which for part of the wet season becomes a direct tributary of the Mekong. Current water availability for the canal from the source should therefore be only in the wet season / months of the year. Under this sub-project, it is expected to rehabilitate 8.8 km of existing main canal and irrigation management structures. The main canal will be fed by the Boeung Sne reservoir and aim to cultivate 2,100 hectares of land for supplementary pumped irrigation.

Name of sub- Chamcar Kuoy (CW-004) project Water Supply: From the climate change perspective the weakest link in the design will be uncertainly of water supply in dry season and then the later arrival of wet season rains. This needs to be checked against the design; to determine whether there are modifications possible to strengthen or perhaps the project is not cost effective. There will be sufficient water for the dry season supplementary irrigation until May, but changes in wet season rainfall makes the period of dry in the western canal longer than three months. Thus, climate change variance and uncertainty of water supply linked as well to Mekong River flow volumes there is no complete guarantee that the scheme will produce the returns anticipated. However, the sub-project can provide positive improvements to infrastructure on the assumption that water is available. Vegetation: Dry Season Elements: This is a canal which could benefit from vegetative cover along its length. Vegetation corridor: Ecological values and the benefits: there is a high value contribution that is made to the farming land by the presence of vegetation corridors. These corridors provide habitat for those insects and birdlife important to integrated pest management systems, as well as mitigating impact from rainfall, and strengthen nutrient cycles. Farmers can also use these corridors for the planting of traditional medicinal plants. From the climate change perspective, it is important to increase biomass and to protect infrastructure from impact of greater intensity of rainfall. Over time, these corridors will achieve these multi-functions. Climate Proofing Fish: Differing depths in shaded areas would contribute to a diversity of aquatic biota including fish species. Based upon farmer interviews, the existing canal has fish and possibly other aquatic life for either all the year or parts thereof. Subsequent construction work needs to acknowledge the importance of this to the ecological health of the region, as well as to livelihoods of farmers, and aim to reinstate water course features including depressions in depth. With rainfall changes, there could be consideration given to two major issues. - One is the depth and the width of the western end of the canal, the second is that during the important dry season irrigation, evaporation from the canal will be at its highest so the project will benefit from a long-term program of vegetation along the length of the canal. Recommendations should include a planting program for length of canal. - Some consideration was given to excavate the canal take off point to the centre of the Boeung Sne, which may mean that water will be available earlier. Topographic indications on the map do not show the depth of the central canal but excavation may need to be too great. Access/Service Roads: The new access road should be constructed with attention to details that will make them more resilient to intense rains. They should have a compacted laterite surface with a convex finish to shed rainwater. At the shoulder of the road efficient ‘swale’ type drainage lines should be detailed to limit run-off down embankments. Timing of construction: The actual time focused at site needs to be clearly established between the consultants and the beneficiary community, particularly as the community will have no alternatives for income should construction overlap with a growing season. Based on the design cropping calendar and seasonal variation of humidity, hydrology data the estimation of the peak water requirement was 1.84 l/sec/ha, but to prepare designs, but the sub-project was designed up to 2 l/sec/ha to improve water efficiency and increase the capacity of the water management structures. And to ensure climate proofing the consultants recommended the pump station in St 4+150 Pk and from St. 0+00 to 4+150 design as a feeder canal so that farmers are able to directly pump water for supplementary irrigation along the feeder canal. The design details were shared with the PVG PIO at a Detailed Design meeting on 21/22 December and are as follows: - Construction of main canal, 8,800m length including laterite pavement and grass sodding, head regulator with three water gates, check structure with two water gates, check with drop structure and pump house with two water gates, 26 off-takes (14 Right Side and 12 Left Side: One row 9 off-takes & two rows 17 off-takes), six oxcart bridges (one with Canal Bed B = 6m and 5 with B = 4.6m), guide post for ROW every 100 meters (178 pcs) and one FWUB building. - Demolition of five existing structures. (three bridges, one pipe culvert and one gate)
Procurement Processing draft bidding document expected by middle of January 2017

2. Implementation Status Overview
1) Provide a paragraph or two describing the project implementation progress, highlighting key outputs and outcomes that have resulted during the reporting period of July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. Focus on key outputs and outcomes as opposed to administrative or process-related activities. Further progress has achieved under this reporting period and the rate of implementation is now increasing. Under Output 1, MAFF has completed the compliance conditions for the five policy conditions relating to seed. Work is progressing on the remaining conditions concerning land management and plant protection/phytosanitary regulations. Due to the delays a request has been submitted to ADB for an extension of the loan duration by 11 months to end November 2017 with the deadline for compliance being end May 2017. Under Output 2 the Training of Trainers (ToT) for the conduct of the Commune Agro-Ecosystems Analysis was completed in each province for district extension staff. Work is on-going on the preparation of Letters of Agreement (LoA) to enable non-project district extension staff to be engaged to support this activity. The ToR for the CLUP service contract was finalized and the advertisement for Expressions of Interest (EoIs) completed. Under Output 3 MOWRAM the consultants recruited for the feasibility studies, detailed designs and construction supervision have completed the designs for the two core sub-projects and the bidding for the civil of the works is completed, with contract awards to be made upon resolution of remaining resettlement issues. For the six 1st priority irrigation sub-projects the feasibility studies are underway and the detailed designs will be completed in Q1 2017. PIC support has been provided to aid the incorporation of climate resilient design features for each sub-project. The procedures for the implementation of the Paddy Drying and Storage (PDS) facilities have been revised following extensive discussions between MAFF/NIO and the PMO and the outcome of the PPP forum which was conducted with the participation of wide representation from the rice milling sector. A Concept Note describing the approach was prepared in which the procedures for supporting the PDS facilities through the provision of concessionary loans from the Rural Development Bank (RDB) is described. Advertisements for EoIs from rice miller will commence in Q1 2017. The MAFF/NIO completed the revision of the ToR for the feasibility studies for the PDS facilities and the evaluation of the bids has commenced. The Concept Note on Land Levelling has been revised to reflect the outcome of consultation with farmers within the selected irrigation sub-project sites to determine the level of contribution they are willing to make. The PIOs have commenced the preparation of bidding documents. Under Output 4 the contract award for the supply of equipment for the seed testing laboratory at MAFF/GDA was made and the equipment has been delivered. Plans are now being prepared for the construction of the laboratory within space identified in the GDA building. There were Letters of Agreement (LoAs) signed with MAFF agriculture stations in each target province for producing registered rice seed on an area of eight hectares to produce 16 tons of registered seed which will be distributed to Agricultural Cooperatives (ACs). Plans are being drawn up for the improvement of one agriculture station in each province which is under the administration of the Provincial Department of Agriculture (PDA) so that these stations can provide services to the ACs for drying, cleaning and processing the certified rice seed. A Farmer Field School (FFS) Training of Trainers was completed for district extension staff who have commenced the organization of season-long FFSs for the ACs rice seed producers. Under Output 5 the ToR for the feasibility study of Weather Indexed Crop Insurance (WICI) was revised and re-advertised and the evaluation of the EoIs has commenced. Under Output 6 the PIC team members have continued to provide technical support to all the EA and all IAs, with a further contract variation approved to make adjustment to the input of one of the national team members. A new contract variation is under preparation to include additional positions including those for supporting the baseline survey. The PPMS which was developed is being revised to reflect the changes to the GAFSP indicators.
