(i) Increase the agricultural productivity of organized farmers in the marshlands and hillsides of sub-watersheds targeted for development in an environmentally sustainable manner;and
(ii) Strengthen their participation in market-based value chains. The development objective of the Third Rural Sector Support Project (RSSP3) are to: i) increase the agricultural productivity of organized farmers in the marshlands and hillsides of sub-watersheds targeted for development in an environmentally sustainable manner; and ii) strengthen the participation of women and men beneficiaries in market-based value chains. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is infrastructure for Marshland, hillside and commodity chain development. The objective of this component will be to expand irrigated area of cultivated marshlands, to increase the use of erosion-controlling and productivity enhancing sustainable land management practices on associated hillsides, and to finance up and downstream economic infrastructure needs articulated by women and men in their communities. The second component of the project is capacity for Marshland, hillside and commodity chain development. This component included strengthening farmer organizations and cooperatives (e.g. good governance and basic operating capacity); extension and training activities to improve production and productivity of farming systems in the marshland and hillsides (e.g. demo plots, soil fertility enhancements, promotion of improved inputs, and IPM); and knowledge generation and dissemination. The third component of the project is project co-ordination and support. In keeping with the commitment of Development Partners (DPs) in the agricultural sector of Rwanda, RSSP 3 will not create a new Project Implementation Unit (PIU), but rather will merge the RSSP 2 implementation team with that of the LWH (Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation) implementation team. When the LWH Project was designed, it was done in order to contribute to the Ministry's One-PIU, in which each PSTA program had its own PIU under an implementation superstructure (under the Permanent Secretary). The LWH Project finances the first of these four PIUs for Government, the PSTA Program 1 Implementation Team, whose first task is the implementation of LWH. As part of the LWH scale-up under the Global Agricultural Food Security Program (GAFSP), the procurement and financial management units of the LWH were merged with the more experienced ones of RSSP 2 in order to further the Banks support to streamlined implementation in MINAGRI. The RSSP 3 implementation structure is therefore an incremental continuation of that commitment. |

P175072 | 2,024 | 0.28 | 0.17 | 0.12 | Malawi First Growth and Resilience DPO with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option The program development objective is to support reforms aimed at 1) anchoring fiscal sustainability and transparency, 2) stimulating private sector-led growth, and 3) strengthening the resilience of the poor against shocks. It is the first in a programmatic series of two in the amount of US80 million dollars equivalent and is combined with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option (Cat-DDO) of US57 million dollars equivalent. It helps the Government of Malawi (GoM) address longstanding macroeconomic imbalances, as supported through a new International Monetary Fund (IMF) program and strengthen structural and governance foundations for a more dynamic and resilient economy. The reforms underpinning this operation will also increase the country’s preparedness for future shocks, especially climate-related disasters that have had a disproportionate impact on the poor. The operation supports the aims of the country’s national development plan, Malawi 2063, and the World Bank’s Country Partnership Framework (CPF), FY2021-25. By strengthening resilience to climate change impacts in one of the world’s most vulnerable countries, it aligns with the World Bank’s Evolution priorities. To address persistent problems in fiscal governance and transparency, pillar 1 aims to strengthen the legal framework for PFM, attract private finance, increase transparency in procurement, and improve the targeting and financial management of the AIP. Pillar 2 addresses core constraints to private sector-led growth by strengthening the institutional foundations of the energy sector, supporting the digital economy through robust data protection legislation, and enabling the development of a deposit insurance system that can foster financial inclusion and financial sector stability. Pillar 3 operationalizes Malawi’s CCDR by protecting poor households’ livelihoods through effective shock-sensitive social safety nets, improving the legal and regulatory framework for government to both manage and respond to disaster risks and to enhance the resilience of buildings. These reforms are being implemented in close coordination with a prospective ECF program and are complemented by planned budget support programs from other development partners to help ensure the Government has support in the medium term as it implements difficult but essential reforms. Over the past two years, the World Bank has been 'leaning in' during a critical time for Malawi, including through emergency financing for recurrent costs, the scale up of social protection, a backstopping facility for strategic commodity imports and the triggering of Contingency Emergency Response Components. This DPO complements these efforts. |

It is structured around four pillars: (i) enhancing transparency and accountability; (ii) improving the budget and debt management; (iii) improving public sector efficiency and services; and (iv) supporting private sector growth. These are key areas of reform in Jordan’s Executive Development Plan (EDP) for 2011-2013, around which the CPS is developed. The objective of the First Programmatic Development Policy Loan (DPL) Program for Jordan is to support key elements of Jordan's Executive Development Program, the country's medium-term development plan (2011-2013). The operation in the amount of US$250 million, which is the first in a programmatic series of two DPLs, aims to help enhance Jordan's capacity and performance in the area of governance, fiscal management, public sector efficiency and private sector-led growth. The challenge for Jordan is twofold. In the immediate, it is to start addressing the population's political and economic expectations while maintaining macroeconomic stability. Going forward, the challenge is to embed reforms in a medium-term macroeconomic framework that is credible enough to build the confidence needed for more robust, private sector-led recovery and job creation. This DPL is central to the new Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), presented concurrently to the Board with this DPL. The CPS overarching goal is to lay a foundation for sustainable growth and job creation through a three-pronged strategy: (i) strengthen fiscal management and increase accountability; (ii) strengthen the foundation for sustainable growth with a focus on competitiveness; and (iii) enhance inclusion through social protection and local development. Transparency, accountability and participation cut across these pillars. The DPL series supports directly the first two pillars of the new CPS. By supporting the reform efforts in two out of three CPS policy areas and directly addressing key governance issues, it will help implement the CPS and achieve its outcomes. |
