Tranche Summary The Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Investment Program aims to address immediate coastal protection needs and coastal instability using environmentally and socially appropriate solutions, with a focus on softer options such as artificial reefs, beach nourishments, and dune management. The program also aims to protect the coastline from erosion and in so doing enhances income-generating opportunities for coastal communities. Tranche 2 will support nine subprojects consisting of six coastal protection subprojects designed to address the issues of medium to severe coastal erosion and three community subprojects for areas of low erosion resulting in the protection of approximately 54 km of coastline in Karnataka. Activities will include: (i) addressing immediate coastal protection needs; (ii) capacity building and institutional development; (iii) modeling and other analytical works to assess the impacts of climate change on selected sections of the coast; and (iv) comprehensive nearshore sea bed sand resources analysis designed to assess the issues of sand deficits of selected Karnataka beaches. It will continue to support strengthening of the executing agency on the long term activities on coastal planning and management that would continue after the end of the project period. Impact: Improved income and poverty status of coastal communities in the subproject areas of Karnataka. Outcome: Shorelines in Karnataka protected and managed. Outputs: (i) coastal erosion and instability mitigation structures constructed or upgraded, and (ii) capacity for integrated shoreline planning and development enhanced. Implementation Arrangements: Public Works, Ports & Inland Water Transport Dept. will be the executing agency. Project Readiness: The detailed project reports for seven of the nine subprojects with a total value of $48 million or 69% of the total civil work costs are complete. Out of six packages tendered so far, contract for three civil work packages has already been signed in April 2017 which amounts to 45% of total civil works cost, the other two packages for about 23% of the total civil works cost will be signed by July 2017 and the last package for less than a million; will be re-tendered. The remaining sub projects with a value of $21.9 million will be ready for tender by early July 2017 and are programmed to be awarded by December 2017. The project management and design consulting contract has been signed in January 2017 and the consultants have been mobilized. 11. Significant Developments in the MFF and Previous Tranches On 29 September 2010, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a multitranche financing facility (MFF) for the Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Investment Program for an aggregate amount not exceeding $250 million for the three coastal states of Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Tranche 1 under the investment program was approved by the President on 6 October 2010 for $51.5 million. At the borrower's partial loan cancellation request, the net loan amount was changed to $47.4 million. Tranche 1 became effective on 28 November 2011 and was extended from 31 December 2014 to 30 June 2017 mainly due to design changes of the major civil works. The availability period of the MFF was extended from 31 December 2019 until 28 September 2020. As of 26 May 2017, cumulative contract awards are at $37.1 million and cumulative disbursements are at $26.99 million. The overall physical progress of works under tranche 1 is estimated to be around 85%. A final extension of the loan closing date until 30 June 2018 to complete the offshore reef is under discussion. Of the 26 loan covenants under Tranche 1, 13 have been complied with, 12 are being complied and 1 is not yet due. Of the 14 FFA undertakings, all are generally being complied with, though with delays in implementation of some reforms. 12. Milestones Estimated Approval
