Tranche Summary

ADB approved the ORISSA Integrated Irrigated Agriculture & Water Management Investment Program - Project 1, not exceeding the aggregate amount of $16.50 million on 8 October 2008. Impact: 1. Enhanced economic growth and reduced poverty in the selected river basins with direct benefit to 450,000 people in the tranche-1 subproject area (70,000ha).2. Initial institutionalization of effective mechanisms for Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) Outcome: 1. Enhanced productivity, water use efficiency, and sustainability of irrigated agriculture in the selected existing schemes in 70,000 ha2. improved institutional performance of irrigation service delivery with empowered WUAs Outputs: Component A: Productive and sustainable irrigated agriculture management systems - A-1. Participatory Planning and WUA Strengthening A-2. Irrigation and associated infrastructure A-3. Agriculture Development and Livelihood Enhancement following micro-plans provided, and targets achieved A-4. Sustainable O&M Systems Established Component B. Institutions Strengthened and Project Management Systems B-1. Policy, Planning and Legal Framework B-2. DOWR Institutional Setup, Structure, Skill Mix, and Business Processes Strengthened B-3. Systems to Support Sustainable O&M B-4. Operationalizing IWRM B-5. Project Management System B-6. Training/Capacity Development Implementation Arrangements: The Department of Water Resources (DOWR) of the State of Orissa serves as the executing agency. DOWR has established a Project Management Unit (PMU) with the assignment of a full time Project Director. The PMU has a multidisciplinary structure comprising staff from DOWR and staff deputed from other line departments or recruited from the market. Assistance is also provided by a multidisciplanry team of consultants for institutional srengthening and project management for capacity development, quality control, and project management. The PMU is responsible for the identification, formulation, implementation, and operation and maintenance of all subprojects including conformance with the State, Nayional and ADB social and environmental safeguards policies. Implementation Status: The project provides a comprehensive approach to improved irrigation management (through structural and non-structural investments). Since start-up, it has been plagued by implementation delays mainly due to limited participation in bidding for civil works and a protracted bidding process. Civil works start up was slow and much oversight and capacity building was provided to support the EA in quality control and contract administration. The implementation arrangements for strengthening water users groups were also complex and required the integration of technical and social staff at field level. This was challenging and required time for fostering and support for the approach. Although the project struggled in its early stages, the midterm review mission fielded on 16-26 September 2013 noted a significant improvement, particularly in the pace of civil works implementation, which provided greater confidence in achieving a satisfactory completion of the project. As of 31 December 2014, overall physical progress on irrigation infrastructure was about 84% on main and distributary works and 77% on minor canals. Tranche 1 is expected to be completed by 31 March 2015 but the government is looking at a possible extension.

Impact: Increased availability of infrastructure

Outcome: Facilitated private sector investment in infrastructure PPPs

Outputs: 1. Enhanced availability of long-term finance for PPP subprojects2. Improved project management

Implementation Arrangements: The executing agency is IIFCL. IIFCL as mandated by the Government of India, assumes an apex role in financing projects in India and fostering PPP projects. Its Board of Directors will provide its policy direction and strategic oversight. IIFCL's project management unit (PMU) will monitor day-to-day implementation and the environment and social safeguard management unit (ESMU) shall be responsible for ensuring that all qualified subprojects are in compliance with the Environmental and Social Safeguards Framework (ESSF) and applicable national and state policies.

Implementation Status: Nine subprojects have been approved for financing under tranche 1. Contract awards and disbursements are $368.5 million and $171.4 million respectively. Training for PMU staff is ongoing. Eight officers have been nomiated to particiaote in various programs.


249



Minor Change 10 Mar 2014 For all take-out financing projects where the liability of IIFCL devolves an operation & maintenance (O&M) contractor post commercial operation date (COD), the relevant audited financial statements of the Project Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) used for determining the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) would be submitted instead of the lenders' independent engineer's report (LIE). DSCR should at least be 1.







368.01 100.00 171.46 100.00


Tranche 1 (Loan 3048) is a loan of $400.00 million from ordinary capital resources (OCR), which was signed on 22 January 2014 and declared effective on 21 February 2014.

Progress: As of 31 December 2014, contract awards and disbursements under Tranche 1 have reached $368.01 million (100.0%) and $171.46 million (100.0%), respectively. Tranche release is on track. There has been significant progress with regard to the implementation of the MIS on an organization wide basis and the progress is expected to be complete by Q1 2015. With regard to risk management, a few technical requirements may not be appropriate given the nature of the organization and ADB is looking to exclude these technical requirements from the compliance requirements. ADB will continue to monitor progress.


Undertaking and Covenants: Though there are still covenants IIFCL needs to comply with, ADB is assured that these will be complied with soon.

FACILITY UPDATE

possible cancellation; poor performance (red rating) on account of 2 parameters will indicate potential problems and would require RDs to draw an action plan to rectify the facility‘s performance.

MFF Delays - Contributors to MFF Delays are:(i) Substantial delays in tranche processing, and/or (ii) Substantial delays in tranche implementation.

Timeliness in Tranche processing will be evaluated against the tranche sequencing program forecasted in the RRP. Tranches processed …

(i) within one year of the forecasted period will be given an ‘on track‘ (green) rating;(ii) between 1 and 2 years of the forecasted date will be given a ‘Potential problem‘ (yellow) rating, and (iii) beyond 2 years of the forecasted date will be given an ‘at risk‘ (red) rating.

For MFFs where a time-bound tranche sequencing program was not forecasted in the RRP, only, MFF delays will be determined on the following grounds:

(i) if less than 2 years have passed since approval of the previous tranche (up to the stage where the entire MFF has been turned into tranches), a green rating is granted,(ii) if more than 2 years but less than 3 years have elapsed, a yellow rating is given; and(iii) if more than 3 years have elapsed, a red rating applies.
